Fort Kaval, near the city, was deported from the castle guards on the battlements of the attic.

The castle's young ruler, Pedy Reagan, has enjoyed standing alone these days overlooking the meadows and mountains in the distance.

The endless world and the intertwining of the city's inhabitants always make Pedi determined.

"You're here. A delicate female voice suddenly sounded behind Pedi.

It is Pedi's fiancée, Princess Erin Phier of the Eternal Wings Mage Tower, a girl with wisdom. Months had passed since that abrupt engagement feast, and she seemed to have fully accepted her fate as the soon-to-be-hereled Mistress of Crewe.

Pedi asked, "Don't you have to study magic today?"

"The study of magic is no longer all I have. The helplessness in Erinphier's eyes flashed, "We haven't seen each other for several days, won't you take the initiative to come to me?"

Hearing this, Pei Di turned his head to look at the other party, he looked at the other party very seriously, and after looking at it for two seconds, he smiled noncommittally. He didn't think that the girl in front of him would talk to him about the so-called love between men and women, so he said dryly: "After we officially hold the wedding, we will meet almost every day." ”

"Do you mean you're going to get bored with me soon?" said Erin Phier and Pedi as they always argued, "maybe you'll be out looking for a lover soon after?"

There was a calm tone in her tone, and under her calm tone, these sharp questions seemed to become insignificant.

Pedi burst out laughing, and laughed out loud, and when he finally stopped laughing, he said to Eilefeld's unhappy look, "I remember an emperor who said that lovers can maintain friendship between nobles. ”

"That must be a terrible emperor. Erin Phier looked out at the mountains and grasslands in the distance, following Pedy's example, "Who would you be looking for? Sir Sir Seyla Marne? I heard that Duke Nick originally wanted you to marry her. ”

"She is now my general. Pedi shrugged.

"As you said, a lover relationship can maintain the friendship between nobles. Erin Phier also smiled, "Aren't you tempted by Fort Cowind, of the Marne family?"

"I never intended to touch the four Dominions. Pei Di's tone revealed great sincerity, and then he changed the tone and said, "You shouldn't have come to me specifically to talk about the 'lover' issue." ”

"I came up to enjoy the view. Erin Phier smiled, "I've heard that you've been coming here every day lately to look out at the mountains in the distance... It's a nice view, maybe you should invite me next time. ”

"Should I say it's my honor?"

"Of course. Erin Phier nodded, she also had her pride, because she was the princess of Eternal Wings.

"Ahem" Pei Di coughed lightly twice, and then learned from the actors in the drama to perform an exaggerated etiquette and said solemnly: "My princess, it is a surprise and honor to be able to meet you here. ”

"Giggles" Erin Phil suddenly laughed happily, she gently held Pedy's outstretched hand, "Your performance is so charming, really!"

"Are you complimenting me?"

"You can take that as a compliment. ”

"Haha!" Pedi laughed too, and he was laughing happily this time.

After this laugh, Peidi felt that his whole body suddenly became lighter...

It was a very special feeling of relaxation, as if the muscles that had been tense suddenly relaxed at this moment, and a pleasant feeling that wanted to make people moan and moan filled his heart in an instant.

It's been a long time since he's laughed so easily, and it's a nostalgic feeling.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Phyllis, Penny, and his father, who was far away in the imperial capital, and his mother, who was strange and incomparably familiar to Kumar Fortress.

He thought of the happy days when his family had been together,

How long ago was that?

It seems like a long, long time ago!

And now?

Right now!

Thinking of the present, the pleasant feeling in Pedi's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and a boundless loneliness and loneliness instantly filled his heart.

Suddenly, he felt a warmth enveloping his right hand, and when he cast his gaze, he saw a small, delicate-skinned hand, and when he looked up, he saw a delicate and beautiful cheek.

This is the girl who will accompany him for the years to come!

In the years that followed...

How many years was that?

He subconsciously held the warm little hand with his backhand.

Then, the two young men and women looked at each other and smiled.

This time, their smiles were tinged with sincerity.

"Your MI chief has been waiting for you outside the office for a long time. Erin Fil said in a teasing tone.

"Then let him wait a little longer. Pedi shrugged, "I have the right to keep him waiting." ”

Erin Fei'er's eyes immediately narrowed into crescents, "Poor Baron Danmen. ”

...

In the small open reception room next to Pedy's private office, Baron Danmen sat quietly, the steaming tea on the coffee table next to him had already been changed five times. However, he did not dare to move, because he was afraid that the meeting would last too long for him to go to the toilet.

He had been waiting here for nearly two hours, and the fragrance of the tea was always tempting him to take up the tea, and he thought to himself: when the servant comes again, he must let him bring it down.

He had thought about it five times, but every time the castle servants came, he seemed to forget.

"Step, step!"

While Baron Danmen was thinking wildly, there was a dull sound of footsteps in the corridor outside.

Baron Squeak jerked up from the stool, flipped the stool he had been sitting on to the ground, he was all too familiar with the footsteps and the sound of the sword shaking.

As he walked briskly out of the hall, Pedi appeared at the door of the office in a knight's shirt.

"Master Pedy. The baron saluted unhurriedly.

Pei Di glanced at Baron Danmen, took the towel handed by the servant next to him, wiped the sweat on his face because of knight training, and after Baron Danmen saluted, he nodded lightly, threw the towel to the servant, and pushed the door in.

Baron Danmen immediately followed with small steps.

"Is there any new progress in the fighting in the Fort Iruk area?" asked Pedi's chief of military intelligence every time he met him lately.

The elves have been increasing their troops in the Fort El Ruk area for the past few months!Now, with the arrival of the Werewolf Legion from the Kingdom of Misha and a newly formed legion of the rebels, more than 150,000 troops have already gathered on the Iruk Plain.

At the same time, the elven sea supply line was also completed a month ago.

The Imperial army on the hillside defense line southeast of Tyre Town had been building fortifications all the time, and the soldiers in the defense area would hardly step out of the line except for the necessary patrols.

In addition, the Empire negotiated daily with the Grand Duke of Trofil under the Karen Command during these months, and occasionally the Orc Chieftain would send emissaries to participate.

In the last month, there was a breakthrough in the negotiations... The establishment of the Kwyn Town Trade Centre is a testament to the success of this negotiation.

In an atmosphere of 'friendship' between the three parties, the Imperial side quickly completed the reorganization of the army in the area of Kwyn.

The First and Second Legions were reorganized into the Imperial Royal Combined Legion, with the Commander of the First Legion, Count Devin Pombo, as the Commander of the Royal Combined Legion, and the Second Legion, Sir Lobb Reggie, as Chief of Staff.

After the reorganization was completed, the Royal Combined Army was immediately stationed in the town of Tyre, and sat in the middle of the defensive line in the hills southeast of the town of Tyre.

In addition, the remaining armies of nearly 50,000 troops in the town of Kwyn were reorganized into the Imperial Northern Army, with the Marquis of Barry Victor as the commander of the army.

...

Baron Danmen did not answer 'business as usual' after Pedi's habitual question, he mused for a few seconds to recall the information he had memorized two hours ago, and said, "Duke Eric gathered the soldiers of the two legions five days ago, and prepared to launch a strong attack while the Feld Lord's defenses were weak. ”

Pei Di was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "What is the reaction of the Imperial side?"

From various data and the correspondence between Peidi and Duke Nick, it can be analyzed that the Central Empire is not willing to have a large-scale decisive battle with the elves at this moment, and the best time for the cabinet to plan a war is after the spring of next year!

"This is exactly the offensive plan planned by the Imperial Cabinet. ”

Pedi was a little surprised, and Baron Danmen continued: "This should be a change that the cabinet has to make under pressure. ”

The words of the director of intelligence made Pei Di's heart move, half a month ago, Tang Wright had secretly reported to Pei Di that some upper-level nobles in the empire were planning to impeach the current imperial cabinet.

To put it bluntly, the impeachment of Duke Nick.

The nobles have a good reason, after all, the vast human empire has almost disintegrated in the past year. More importantly, His Majesty the Emperor has not given a reasonable explanation after being assassinated under the nose of Duke Nick. Coupled with the recent defeat of the Combined Fleet at the Yekjar military port, the nobles found a reason to attack the Reagan family.

And these contradictions erupted in an instant after Prince Sinda was crowned emperor.

News got to Pedy's ears very early... Now, every aristocratic gathering in the Lion Castle Eunice Hall will be noisy from morning to night, which indirectly leads to the fact that the decree issued by the cabinet in the last month is almost impossible to carry out!

"When did you get the information?"

Baron Danmen immediately replied: "This morning, it was the intelligence directly transmitted by the agents near Fort Norma. ”

"How many troops are left behind in Felder's territory?"

"The rebels have formed three legions with the support of the elves, but I don't think they have much combat effectiveness, and if Duke Eric's army can regain its command in Felder, most of those three legions will probably defect. ”

Peddy let out a breath of turbidity after hearing this, he didn't have the same good mentality as Baron Danmen: "Not only has Duke Eric established a complete defensive line in the Grand Canyon of Manwees, but the rebels have also put a lot of effort into it. He shook his head, "The Feld Territory is an important rear base for the elves as they advance towards the Suker Plains, and the elves can't afford not to take Duke Eric into account." ”

"In other words, this time it's just talking, and it's impossible for a large-scale decisive battle to break out?" Baron Danmen made a look of sudden realization.

Pei Di looked at the appearance of Baron Danmen, and immediately understood that the other party's report just opened was just for this sycophant. He smiled helplessly and said, "Don't think about the elves, what about the things I asked you to do?"

"The situation in Birn and Harlensburg can be found in the archives of the Military Intelligence Service. Baron Danmen was careful when he reported the issue, "And the recent situation is not difficult to check..."

"I'll just ask you," Pedi stared at his chief of military intelligence, "how can we get the armies of Beenburg and Harrensburg to attack each other!"

Baron Danmen's eyelids began to throb wildly when he heard Pedi's words.

"I ask you, don't hesitate, answer me at once!" Pedi's voice came again.

The Chief of Military Intelligence hurriedly shook off all kinds of thoughts in his mind and said: "The early spring is supposed to be the time when the conflict between the two territories broke out, and after the inexplicable death of the old lord of Harrensburg last year, his eldest son, Viscount Geeberke, has always suspected that this is a conspiracy of Earl Jack of Beenburg..."

Baron Danmen cautiously looked at Pei Di, "If you need a conflict between the two families, I have a hundred options for you to choose from. ”

"Oh?" Pei Di looked at his military intelligence chief with some surprise, and suddenly a trace of alarm appeared in his heart, but he asked again quietly on the surface, "What if I want these two families to have a protracted battle of life and death?"

"This..."Baron Danmen hurriedly lowered his head, he concealed his shocked expression while saying, "This is a little difficult, but it's not impossible..."

"Ser Fred of Balan has an entire garrison at his disposal. Pedy waved his hand indifferently to signal his Chief of Military Intelligence not to be too worried, "Besides, I have already asked Sir Bowenright to secretly send the most elite First Regiment of the Guards to the Jamici Meadows. ”

"In that case, then..."

"Now is not the time, what you need to do now is to concentrate the troops of Beenburg and Hallensburg here. As if he had suddenly changed his mind, Pedi shifted the subject and stood up and walked to the map on the wall, pointing to Lake Garmici above, "If possible, you can create a few battles, but it is not advisable to expand them." ”

"I..."

"Wait!" Pedi interrupted the conversation he was about to promise, he took a serious look at his chief of military intelligence and walked around the room, and after three rounds he said, "Forget it, you just need to have their troops gather around Lake Garmic to confront each other, and let them settle the rest of the matter." ”

"I see. ”

"If you understand, go down and do something. Pedi issued an eviction order.

Baron Danmen was pardoned, as if he was afraid that Pedi would change his order again, and exited the office as quickly as possible.

After the Chief of Military Intelligence left, Pedi was left alone staring at the map in a daze. After a long time, he called Knight Syra into his office and asked, "Have any nobles come to Kawar Fort these days to ask for an audience?"

"The nobles have been very calm these days. ”

"Calm? They were just watching calmly. Pedy's voice revealed a little helplessness and irritation, "Bring Sir Don Wright!"
