Counting nine cold winters, heavy snow fell, and killing together, slowly kicked off.

Cole stood on the podium, shining in a military uniform, quite a general's demeanor.

“General et exercitus 400,000 Acquisitis probationibus, instructiones placet, dabo.“ (General, the 400,000-strong army has been assembled, please instruct.) A general walked over.

Cole's eyes flickered. He had already received the tiger talisman in front of him and became the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of Longze during the war, and it stands to reason that this person should be called the marshal. And although this person's tone was respectful, there was still a touch of arrogance between his eyebrows, obviously not taking him, a marshal who was not famous, very seriously.

Cole's face was calm, and he held up the talisman:

'Set off! (Go!)

Inside the Great Ledger of the March.

In front of his desk was a map of Longze, and he was carefully observing the geographical location of Stenway and choosing a suitable route for the march.

Under the seat, the nine generals were divided into two teams and stood facing each other, and like the generals who had made a report that day, there was no respect on their faces, and one of them yawned impatiently. In their eyes, a hairy boy who came to the barracks for the first time didn't know the cruelty of war, and he had to rely on veterans like them to turn the tide when the time came.

However, they didn't know that Kele was born in a general's family, learned martial arts at the age of 5, joined the army at the age of 8, and followed his uncle to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and Cole's outstanding military talents once aroused the jealousy of Wales and became the catalyst for the destruction of the Field family.

Cole was staring at the map when a herald broke in:

«Report qui exercitum ducerent ad bellandum, ut dictum perrexit. Autem, ad aliquid extra comitatu, tegentibus latera autem et in tribus diebus non pervenit. Cibus hac nocte ..."(Report Marshal, the Great Army has been stationed.) But something happened to the grain and grass escort, and within three days, it could not be reached. Tonight's Meal...... ）

The generals had an expression of watching a good show. The holder of the tiger talisman has a certain right to levy grain, although there is no big county near the rich people, but it is not a problem to levy three days' rations, and it is just a big deal. They were sure that Cole didn't know, and they would be overwhelmed by it. Some of them had already set up their shelves, waiting for the young marshal to ask them for advice.

Cole had a clear view of the generals' expressions, and couldn't help but feel secretly amused. She looked at the (come and beg me) most obvious general, and coughed lightly:

“Leo Generalis: Interrogabo vos et ego tacebo usque ad indicium videlicet ac prope vicis ut comportent exercitui cibaria. Et congregabit illos in conspectu tenebris est, aliter non erit reus viginti?“ (General Leo, I order you to take my token and go to the nearby city to collect food, and be sure to collect it before dark, otherwise you will be punished with twenty rods!)

Leo's face stiffened, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth:

“Subordinates ejus intellexerunt.“ (Subordinates obey.) ）

"Bene, vos guys et etiam ire". Cole sent the strange-looking generals away. (All right, go down too.)

Coleburn wanted to continue thinking about the war, but another man came in from outside the tent:

“Rogerus! Long tempore non videre" (Roger!long time no see!)

Cole looked up in amazement to see Lotao's grinning face.

“Quid feci in vobis? Et quomodo in vobis?“ (How did you get here?and how did you get in?)

“Et sequitur ut omnes Noch Stanway rei publicae. Audivi, quod tu hic, ita sane ut ad AMPLEXUS femur meum!“ (I followed Knoch all the way to Stanway, and when I heard you were here, of course I came to hug my thighs!)

Lietao is still that Lietao, no matter what he says, he has no shape. But only he can bring Cole that inexplicable familiarity, and that's ...... Loved one's warmth.

“Quod est hoc ... insidias, venit in Stanway Nozki dixisti?“ (I see...... Wait, you said Noch got to Stanway?)

“Ita, sunt tamen plures per viam business!“ (Yes, there are quite a few escorts along the way!)

Cole's face was extremely ugly. He should have thought that Zola had no power in his hands, and there was no trace of large-scale mobilization of Longze's army, where did the 300,000 rebels in Stanway come from? He just didn't expect that Haoyue would openly challenge the five-nation treaty established by the Demon Punishment Alliance prohibiting mutual merit, and directly send troops to Stanway!

Videtur, quod non est aliquid iniuriam hoc Arcanum Jade foederis ... (Looks like there's something wrong with this Demon Alliance...... Cole raised an eyebrow. (Since you are here, stay with me for a while, and give you an adjutant. ）

“... qui tam temere eligens es?“ （...... Are you so sloppy in your choice?)

«Quid autem times, leporem tigris in manus meas, quis audet object!“ (What are you afraid of, the tiger talisman is in my hands, who dares to object!)

“Obiicio!“ (I'm against it!) Inside the account, Leo looked excited.

Cole didn't pay any attention to him, it was a verbal notice, not a solicitation for their opinion.

"Nunc vastaberis, quomodo ergo tu ..."(Marshal, how can you make ...... Leo was dissatisfied, but one of the intruders interrupted him:

«Report ad officium marescalli, et habet auctorem, quod audistis ab hostibus rebellis urbes duodecim pernoctare, relinquens pabulum multum!“ (Report to the marshal, the informant came with the news that the rebels had withdrawn from twelve cities overnight, leaving behind a large amount of food and grass!)

The generals were stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted:

“Quid? Hoc dolum est ad penetrandas hostes obvious"

“Ita, quam tres annos natorum puerorum in nobis?“ (That is, take us as three-year-olds?)

“Et quis est usque ad Mary Crowell vultus?“ (Who is Zola looking down on?)

......

No one paid attention to the subtle changes in Leo's face.

Cole's eyes moved slightly, and without warning, he suddenly drew his sword:

“Olim postea launch impetum in generali Stanway rei publicae? ' (A day later, a general assault on Stanway!)

The generals thought for a moment that something was wrong with their ears. When they react, fry the pan immediately:

“Nunc vastaberis, placere cogitare bis! Hoc manifesto furto eliceret hostis et adversarius!“ (Marshal, please think twice! This is obviously the other side's trick to lure the enemy!)

"Nunc vastaberis ne emotionum impulsus" (Marshal do not be impulsive!)

'Marescallum ductus ...... (Marshal...... ）

Elio shouted the most fiercely, and at last he began to curse.

Cole stomped his foot a little annoyed, (Tiger Wei) released!

Cole glanced at Leo and snorted coldly:

“Drag leo et quinquaginta in ea reprehendere!“ (Drag Leo out and scold fifty boards!)

Under Cole's terrifying coercion, none of the generals dared to intercede for Leo, and watched Leo being dragged out by two big men.

«Quapropter qui non hac audire praeceptorem et ordo in hoc documento" (Those who do not listen to the orders of the commander, take this as a warning!) Cole glanced around, (all down!)

The crowd left the tent in a huff.

Letao walked out from behind:

“Heus tu, non dico me vobis hoc vere non est captionem!“ (Hey, don't tell me you really didn't see it was a trap!)

Cole just smiled and didn't answer his question directly:

“Olim putatis quod essemus scirem quomodo Mary Crowell herba cibum et brevi, et egressus est ratio persuadere nobis? ' (Have you ever wondered how Zola knew that we were short of food and grass, and deliberately left military rations to lure us?)

"Quid facitis ......" (what do you mean...... ）

“Ego sum dubitat nunc. Sed potius '(I'm just skeptical now.) But more importantly,) Kohl pointed his sword at the map, 'Etsi enim multos milites frumentum et herba recta nimis diu. Stanway et alia circumiacentia loca sunt plenae montibus. Si frumenti et herba portantur, in primam aciem inducta sunt, necesse est quod Leghton situata urbe et Leghton situata urbe non minus quam C% de Carter urbe in Stanway rei publicae. hinc equites quandoque media die. hoc dum Zola promptus mox et herbam pervenit biduum ducere exercitum praedatum Leyton urbe nostras et herbam. Tum nostri 400,000 exercitus certe non erit auto-vincere ". Stanway and its surrounding areas are so mountainous that grain and grass must pass through Leighton City to reach the front line, and Leighton City is less than 100 miles away from Carter City in Stenwey, and the cavalry can reach it in half a day. In other words, as long as Zola is willing, he can lead his army to raid Layton City in two days as soon as the grain and grass arrive, and burn our grain and grass to the ground. At that time, our 400,000-strong army will be self-defeating. ）

Colle paused for a moment and continued:

“Hoc Tullius urbs sita est super ripam torrentis Stanway publica. Quid atrocius quod Tullius facile adversus facile defendere. Zola posse defendere nostris dominantur. Se recepit progredi ultro deserendae urbis. nos impugnare videtur, sed revera stemus sedeto donicum speramus posse biduo post feliciter pugnant. (But this Carter City is located on the edge of Stanway State, and what is worse is that Carter is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and Zola cannot hold it at all with the superiority of our forces.) So he took the initiative to abandon the city by retreating, and seemed to lead us to attack, but in fact he hoped that we would not move, and wait until two days later he could successfully sneak attack. ）

Letao gasped:

“Sine, ut si tamen impetum, etiam si non sit ex insidiis circumuentum tradant Mary Crowell?“ (Wait, but if we attacked, wouldn't we be ambushed by Zola?)

'Scilicet. Haec dicta sunt, ut occiditis duo aves unum lapidem. (Of course.) It's called killing two birds with one stone. ）

'Et nos ex fuga recepisset Ortelius est statim urbs! (Then we should retreat to Leighton City immediately!)

“Ardore moti? Receptum Quid?“ (Retreat? Why retreat?) Cole smiled slyly.

A day later.

The army marched in unison toward the border of Stanway. The leading generals either cursed or hung their heads, and it was clear that everyone was not optimistic about the prospects of this battle.

Seeing that Stanway had arrived, a guy whose ass was almost shattered into eight pieces ran out again:

“Nunc vastaberis, subditorum tibi placet liceat ducere parva bigas invenire ad exercitum in via!“ (Marshal, please allow your subordinates to lead a squad and explore the way for the army!)

The generals were shocked when they heard this. In their opinion, there must be an ambush in this city, and it is no different from seeking death to explore the way.

“Si ... Leo insidiis circumuentum tradant, non opus est mori? (If Leo is ambushed...... Aren't we going to die?)

In an instant, this thought flashed through everyone's hearts. Although they usually call each other brothers, but in the face of death, they silently shut up.

The silence of this moment is extremely ironic.

A smile of incomprehensibility appeared on Cole's lips:

“Id est!“ (Accurate!)

Leo mounted his horse and rode away. Cole could feel undisguised pride in his back.

When Leo was gone, Cole turned around, and his voice ran through the entire army:

"Exercitum vertit in primam aciem agmen ire XL occasu statim agere ' (After the army becomes the former army, march forty miles to the west, act immediately!)

Although the generals were puzzled, they did not need to be surrounded and annihilated, and quickly carried out the order.

Letao leaned in:

“Rogerius enim operor non intellego non plus et plus.“ (I don't understand you anymore.) ）

Cole naturally knew what he was referring to, and said with a smile:

“Faciam bet te, prata appellata XL milia passuum Via Crucis, sed ex horae spatium, dum Carter domus exasperans est omnia, vel credere, vel non?“ (I'll bet you, Layton Meadows, forty miles away, will be an hour before a rebel army marching from Carter will pass by, believe it or not?)

“...... Quare?“ （...... Why?)

'Scilicet: Mary Crowell se cogitant, quod in possibilitate a me stantes usque in altissima, sic et quiescam et colligentes gravibus milites extra Carter urbe. iuvit viduos informat, quod est mittere signum ad stuprum raptum usque Venite venite in conspectu urbem. Carter adest. Via Proxima Prata Ton' (Zola, of course, would have thought that it was highly likely that I would not move, so he would have quietly gathered his heavy forces outside Carter. Once the mole has the news, he must arrive before the mole signals us to enter the city. Carter's closest road to this is Layton Meadows!)

"Intelligo!" (I see!) Lita O'mouth snapped, (you mean...... The mole is Leo?)

“... Tu intelliguntur qui incredulus est infideliter est leo?“ (Looks like you're not stupid!)

（...... ）

Celebration banquet.

The generals, who had been pretentious not long ago, came to toast Cole at this time. The battle was so beautiful that they had to re-examine the young marshal. Zola's move was almost seamless, and none of these supposedly invincible generals saw through it. But this little-known Roger not only failed Zola's wishful thinking, but also took advantage of the situation to fight back and defeat the rebels. To put it bluntly, with this battle, Cole is enough to be famous for eternity.

Cole, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, made an excuse to run out of the camp, and the evening breeze of Hexun also made his drunkenness subside a little. Away from the noisy crowd, Cole had time to think about the day's battle. Truth be told, if Cole hadn't spent some time in Stanway, he wouldn't have been able to see through Zola's ruse. But according to his understanding of Zola, this man has not learned and has no skills since he was a child, and this strategy will never come from Zola's hands. At such a time, who would be advising Zola?

Thinking of this, Cole couldn't help but shudder. For some reason, he always felt that all his actions since Field's extermination seemed to be running according to a pre-set trajectory. There seems to be an invisible hand in the dark, wantonly manipulating his life.

Inside Stanway State Camp.

The furious Zola took almost everything he could smash, and the whole barracks could feel Zola's anger.

Sakovic frowned and looked at Zola to vent his anger. When he couldn't fall, Sakovic said coldly:

“Prope est: iam tempus est ut irascatur Dominus!“ (That's pretty much it, now isn't the time to get angry!)

'Num ego possum non irascar? Triginta et unum centum milia! Unum triginta et centum milia castra restaurentur me omnes simul! Quod non est sacerdos valde effective prophetiae? (Can I not get angry??130,000! 130,000 troops!All reimbursed at once!Didn't you say that the priest's prophecy was very fulfilling?) Zola suddenly remembered something, rushed to Sarkovich, grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously, "Et quod factum est hoc?" (So what's going on this time?)

Sakovich's face changed instantly, he snorted angrily, and magic gushed out, slapping Zola onto the tent:

“Ego non monere quod magis sobrii sint, quod agnoscis nunc et situ et exitus Disputatio de isto. Next vicis dare vobis loqui quasi haec ego non tam urbanum!" (I advise you to be sober, recognize the current situation, and talk about this issue again.) Next time you dare to talk like that, I won't be so polite!)

Sakovic walked away. Zola got up from the ground, and his eyes were extremely vicious:

“Sakovic ego te dolor citius aut serius off!“ (Sarkovic, sooner or later, I'm going to chop you up!)

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and twenty-six of the thirty-six cities in Stanway have been captured by Cole. Zola's forces were also reduced to 100,000. According to Cole's plan, in half a month at most, he will be able to successfully recover the entire territory of Stanway.

It was at this time that the unexpected happened.

On that day, the city of Colek was encircled, and the encirclement of Zola's lair was completed. However, a sudden command completely disrupted all the layouts.

The anxious Arthur didn't care about any rules and regulations, and rushed directly into the main account:

"Rogerus ad extrahendum exercitum extemplo Optime Zola 200,000 equitum minus in urbe passuum quingenta! (Roger, withdraw your troops immediately and return to the capital!'s 200,000 cavalry of Zola is less than 500 miles away from the capital!)

“... Nobilitas tua, hoc non potest!“ （...... This is impossible, Your Highness!) Immediately one of the generals who were deliberating in the main account retorted, "Mary Crowell est scriptor exercitus 300,000 et 200,000 potuerunt stare coram nobis. Ubi reperire possunt, et alia exercitus 100,000 fatigati Mary Crowell cincta iam olim, unde posset ad malum currunt, et magis quam 3,000 passuum sine sciens ducerer. ? (Zola's 300,000 troops have been wiped out by us 200,000, where will he find another 100,000 troops?) Besides, Zola has long been surrounded, how can he run for more than 3,000 miles without knowing it?)

“200,000 de rebellibus Zola Kyotum mox adveniet. Can regis vestri omnes copiae prope urbem translata. 50,000 et mundabo reliquias Reliqui poterit retinere diu. vade retro celeriter! (Zola's 200,000 rebels will arrive in Kyoto in a few days, can this king still deceive you?) The troops near the capital have all been drawn over, and the remaining 50,000 old and weak remnants of the army will not be able to stop for too long, you must rush back as quickly as possible!)

"Quod suus etiam nuper ......" (too late...... "Est utilitatem Mary Crowell obscura luna impetum Renyan urbe, et non revertetur non eodem modo. Hoc circiter decem dies apud nos, et ut primo quoque Renyan urbe redire, et Mary Crowell est scriptor vires intra quinque dies. contrita est! (Zola must have taken advantage of the Hazy Moon to make a surprise attack on Renyan City, and we had to go back the way we came.) It will take us about ten days at the earliest to return to Renyan City, and Zola's troops will be destroyed in Renyan City within five days!)

“Iubebit primum equitum. Et duo milia equitum satis noctuque!“ (Then order the cavalry to go first, and the time for 200,000 cavalry to travel day and night is completely sufficient!)

'Non certus quod autem operaris? "Dies multos ruere nostri milites exhauriri hostis exspectat opus. Duo milia equitum tantummodo ore gregem autem potest oppositum. Oppugnant urbem Renyan et miramur. Rem publicam Stanway lunam et urbs sita est in extremis finibus terrae Longze sunt, et in obscura luna potest pervenire dies unus. de militum de 200,000 Mary Crowell LXX% sunt et obscura luna cultists Rom. ego autem non reditus, non creditis auxilium! (After many days of rapid marching, our soldiers will surely be exhausted, and the enemy army will be ready to work, and these 200,000 cavalry will simply be in the mouth of a tiger!) Now the only way to do the opposite, they surprise attack Renyan City, we are strange to attack Liyue City and Rem Sect Stanwei Prefecture is located on the border of Longze, one day can reach Haoyue, 70% of the 200,000 troops from Zolala are Haoyue and Rem Cultists, I don't believe they don't come back!)

“Vos bet vitam patris mei? Et nusquam concordant!“ (You are betting on my father's life here!I will never agree!)

“Non aliter ego tantum trium milium equitatu reliqua insidiantes in via Renyan ut Omoyue. Si rebellibus non venit tunc purissimas reddam reliquae acies concurrunt tria milia passuum elit. I only have 3,000 light cavalry, and the rest are ambushed on the road from Renyan to Haoyue, and if the rebels do not arrive, I will let the rest of the army travel 3,000 miles back to the capital division!)

“Quomodo scio si non revertemur?“ (How do I know if you'll come back when you arrive?)

As soon as Arthur said this, the surroundings immediately fell silent. The generals were in a fog and couldn't understand the meaning of Arthur's words, but Cole could hear them clearly.

“...... tibi dubium mihi?“ （...... You doubt me?)

Arthur was also quick to speak, and he wanted to explain, but Cole interrupted him:

'Non est opus, Regis celsitudinem, non accipit ille qui in externis regni ordines et minister meus magistratu cogat.' ）

Cole clenched his fists and brushed shoulders with Arthur.

Off-the-books.

Cole smashed a big tree that was more than ten meters thick with a punch, and his face was hideous. Since he embarked on the road of revenge, the former irreversible friends abandoned him one after another, and the bamboo horse, who had known each other for thirteen years, wanted to put him to death all the time, loved and hated him all his life, and thought that his best friend had bad intentions from the beginning...... Along the way, Cole encounters betrayals he never dreamed of, enemies he never wants to face. Although he knew that his conflict with Arthur would one day erupt, he was still reluctant to pierce the window paper too soon. After all, for him, how many people are left in this world who can be called (friends)?

"The Book of the Gods: The Book of the Ming Emperor": ...... The rebels were terrified and rushed back for 3,000 miles...... The 200,000 cavalry were destroyed, and the traitors lived for Prince Carret, and they were nowhere to be found. After this battle, the Ming Emperor shocked the world.

Renyan City.

Countless civilians poured into the streets, stretching their necks and squeezing towards Dongzhimen. Dongzhi Gate is the largest gate of Renyan City, except for the emperor, only the generals who have returned in triumph are qualified to step into this gate. However, these people who wanted to see Wu Anjun's demeanor were doomed to be disappointed, because someone had already slipped back to the mansion from the south gate.

The doors of Cole's mansion were closed, keeping out all the officials who came to flatter him. Most of the subordinates were also dismissed, and only Cole stayed in the lobby alone. He paced anxiously, a list clutched tightly in his hand.

As early as the time of the class, Cole had received a secret order, to the effect that Wales had set out to seek an explanation from the Demon League, and Arthur was the regent during this period, and Cole personally investigated, and all the officials in the capital, and all those involved in the rebellion were questioned and imprisoned. Ke Ersheng is in the official announcement family, and he is very clear about the imperial power, and the Criminal Punishment Department may have already made a suspicious list and handed it over to the emperor, and Wales asked Cole to check it again is nothing more than to test the integrity of the Criminal Investigation Division and the military. Originally, Cole and public law enforcement were sufficient, but ......

Cole stared at Noelle Syllfa on the list, distraught. It would definitely not work to hand over the list as it was, but if he crossed out Noelle's name, which was inconsistent with the investigation results of the Criminal Division, it would inevitably arouse the emperor's vigilance. What's more, Noelle also identified Cole as a murderer not long ago, but Cole intends to shelter Sylfa's family, which will inevitably arouse the interest of people who are interested in finding out.

"Quid faciam tibi........." ）

Cole let out a long sigh.

Sylfa's family.

Noelle was walking in the garden with Roger when a group of soldiers burst in. A man who looked like a soldier stood in the doorway and shouted:

'Referes ergo haec duo sunt' (Take these two down!)

Before Noelle and Roger could react, they were already under the control of this group of well-trained sergeants.

“Quid vis ut faciam tibi? Silfaia Hic est!“ (What do you want to do!'s Sylpha here!) Roger was furious.

"Quod aliquis nuntiavit Silfa Genus sociando esset inimicus, ego iussi ab Generalis Longwei quaerere Silfa Genus!" (Search me!)

Noelle thought that she was not afraid of the shadow, but comforted Roger. What she didn't notice was that Roger's right hand was clenched into a fist, staring at his room.

“Domine mi, quia inveni!“ Three or five soldiers came running with a brazier and a stack of letters.

Roger's face changed suddenly, and fine beads of sweat secreted from his palms.

“Heh, Prince Mary Crowell? Aude te dicere non habeo ut seditiosis?“ The commander glanced at the unburned letter in the brazier and snorted coldly, "Take huius rebel!"

Noelle was startled and hurriedly looked at Roger.

"Noelle ego caussa compositum " (Noelle, I'm being falsely accused...... Before Roger could explain, the crowd rushed up and kidnapped Roger.

“Domine mi, possum quod iste Rogerus nunquam collude hoste signis non debet esse aliqua dubia!“ (My lord, I can vouch for it, Roger will never collaborate with the enemy!There must be some misunderstanding in this!) Noelle stopped the commander with an anxious expression.

“Miss Noelle, expectantibus fratrem meum audire ut Generalis Long Wei ordine, quare si stultitia impediri? Si domina est aliqua obiecta, sicut ad communem. Quod si non fecerit nuntium: non dimittet eum in via statim!“ (Miss Noelle, my brother listened to General Long Wei's orders, why should you be embarrassed? If Miss has any objections, just go to the general, if he speaks, I will release him immediately!)

The commander and his party hurried away without waiting for Noelle's answer.

Outside Cole House.

Noelle had been kneeling here for half an hour, but she didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.

There are already many idlers outside the house who have been attracted and whispered:

“Heus, hic illa non est ex Noelle Silfay? Cur hic, dicere flexis genibus ea?“ (Hey, isn't that Noelle of the Syllfas? why is she kneeling here?)

'Ea dicitur quae proxima amicus suspected de sociando hostibus, et attachiatus fuit per Generalis Long Wei. (It is said that her good friend was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and was arrested by General Long Wei, and she came here to plead for intercession and has been kneeling here until now. ）

“ General nonne inimicum habere duas?“ (General Long Wei? Aren't the two of them having a grudge?)

“Sum in campum properaret, ut ad medicus!“ (Rush to the doctor!)

“Puto suus 'iens ut nix hodie, genua flectere, ut non vere intelligit?“ (I think it's going to snow this day, so she really plans to stay on her knees?)

"Quis scit..." (who knows...... ）

After a while, snowflakes fell in the sky. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it soon drove back the idlers who were watching the excitement. However, Noelle turned a deaf ear and let the goose feather snow fall on her body like a sculpture.

Funai.

In the small garden, the flowers are withering, and the mourning grass is full of sorrowful and dilapidated scenes.

Cole stood in the garden, not saying a word, as the servants made a detour. Although they didn't know what Cole was thinking, everyone could feel the terrible coercion that permeated Cole's body.

Suddenly, the Qingshuang Sword came out of its sheath!

Cole's figure instantly appeared at the other end of the courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, a huge boulder three people high broke off at the waist.

The boulder crashed to the ground, and Cole leaned against the wall and slowly knelt down.

The heavy snow came as promised, like a mother's warm embrace, soothing the sad teenager.

The next day.

The news that Noelle had charmed the guards of the prison and eloped with the rebels spread quickly through the capital like a bombshell. The congregation will gather at Cole's House, and you and I will discuss countermeasures.

It was said that they were discussing a remedy, but Cole listened to it for a long time and did not hear any valuable advice, and almost everyone was busy shirking their responsibilities for fear of getting into trouble.

Cole was a little bored, and he quietly walked out without saying a word, leaving only a group of generals who were still pointing fingers at each other.

Colburn wanted to personally order troops from the Yulin military camp to pursue, but just as he was about to walk out of the mansion, an exclamation sounded in the garden.

“cur tu?“ (How are you?)

Cole frowned and walked briskly towards the garden.

In the garden, Retao pointed at Arthur, his face pale. Arthur looked confused and looked at Cole as if asking for help.

“Latvian? Quid iniuriam?“ (What's wrong with Lessao?) Cole asked.

After the Great War of Lietaostanway, he could not find Norki, so he followed Cole back to the city of Renyan and became a nominal general. Due to his low rank, Litao has never had the opportunity to meet Arthur, and it stands to reason that they should not know each other. But now in this scene, Lietao not only knows Arthur, but also seems to have something to do with him.

"Est tu es, homicidam interficiet apud Bray quindecim annos" (That's you! You're the murderer of Bray fifteen years ago!) Litao's voice trembled.

“Nex! Nolite kidding. Quindecim annos, Arthur tantum trium annorum erat. Dicimus autem non satis est. Quomodo potest hoc esse minus deditum et aliqua sum?“ (Murderer? Don't be kidding, Arthur was only three years old fifteen years ago, and he couldn't say everything, how could he be involved with some murderer?)

"Tu crede mihi, non est........." Letao said eagerly.

"Bene, Recordatus sum tibi verisimile est iniuriam, mihi crede, Arthur, non utique homicida est. (Well, you're probably mistaken, trust me, Arthur wasn't some murderer.) Cole patted Retao on the shoulder.

'Bene ergo ...... (Okay then...... Letao lowered his sword in frustration, "Forsitan enim vere admisit nefas. (Maybe I was mistaken.) ）

Cole smiled knowingly. But he didn't notice, behind him, Arthur stared into Litao's eyes, suddenly dangerous.

This is already the border of Longze, and you can leave Longze in another day. Leviathan is located at the junction of the territories of the five empires, and the commercial trade is quite developed, and the mobility of people is extremely high. Therefore, it is naturally the best choice for Noelle and Roger to escape.

After a few days and nights of escaping, the two were already physically and mentally exhausted, and it became natural for them to find a place to rest.

The two walked into a teahouse, ordered a little food, and wanted to rest for a while. But Roger never expected that as soon as he looked up, a figure that made his heart beat was impressive.

Cole drank a pot of tea to himself and walked out of the teahouse.

“Quid accidit?“ (What's wrong?) Noelle sensed that something was wrong with Roger and asked with concern.

(It's okay, I'll go out for a while, you stay here. Roger came to his senses.

Roger walked straight out.

Sure enough, Cole had been waiting for a long time.

"Quod est tibi quod chose sat remotis, qui salvet mihi multum tribulationis". Cole said lazily, "Tu nocere Nogel, ius?" (Nogel was injured by you, right?)

Roger smiled faintly, which was a tacit acquiescence.

'Vos can vere et relinquere Noelle fratris sui ad Elope vobiscum sum ego, ut non dicam tibi consilium non dest. (You can let Noelle leave her own brother and elope with you, I have to say that you are quite capable.) Cole pulled out the green cream, "Cogita de quam ad mortem?" (Have you figured out how to die?)

“Nos paenitet, ego ... (Sorry, I really have to ...... Didn't think about it. ）

Before the words fell, Roger's sword was unsheathed!

The battle was over in a flash of lightning.

“Numquid vere saeva ... Bingxin maledicite terrae......". It's ruthless. Roger chuckled.

The so-called Ice Heart Mantra refers to the invasion of the human body with the poison of extreme cold, which will lie dormant in the meridians for several years, and will turn into an ice sculpture within three days of the attack. What's more, the caster of this spell has no one outside him, unless the poisoned person freezes his heart and completely cuts off the seven emotions and six desires before he can spend the rest of his life in peace. Hence the name of the Ice Heart Mantra.

'Nescio quo Guido et mali saporem creata est quaedam magica, sed etiam iustum est ut tibi eam. Et ... (I don't know which of the nasty guys created this magic, but it's just right for you.) And...... Cole glanced at the golden light on his body, 'Videtur quod hoc problema est non parva Jade Spiritus Achaici. Etiam a faucibus Longsuo potest a bestia deferet ad te. Tu es planning impetro rid of Jade altum volare foederatorum Daemon? (It seems that this Demon Punishment Alliance has a lot of problems, and even treasures like the Dragon Binding Rope can be stolen out by you.) Are you planning to get rid of the Demon League and fly away?)

'Nec tu debes scire. (You don't have to know.) Roger replied nonchalantly and left the place. The Dragon's Rope can only temporarily restrict Cole's movements, and only an immediate exit can ensure their safety.

Cole looked at his back, his gaze deep. When Roger walked away, he shook slightly, and the rope snapped open.

Truth be told, even Cole himself didn't know what his purpose was when he cast a spell on Roger. Is it to change Noelle's mind, or is it to avenge Nogel? It seems to be both, and it seems to be neither.

Cole threw the dragon rope on the ground, sighed, and left the sad place.

Thousands of miles away, the Hazy Moon Palace.

Morey sat in his dragon chair, his brow furrowed.

'Dum Majestati Vestrae secunda ac reginae Kenoche nupta esse admittam, Caesar' s major fiat voluntas res, quae estate Vestra adhuc cunctatur? (As long as His Majesty agrees to the marriage of Nuoqi and the princess, His Majesty's big event will be completed, what is Your Majesty still hesitating about?)

“Sed princeps, contractus matrimonii Noch jam fecit, at illa vi oppressum de macula. Hoc est a magna fabulam. Quod si fuerit Noch iterum rideat non sit facere homines?“ (But the princess had already made a marriage contract with Nuoqi, but she was robbed on the spot, which is a big joke in the world.) Wouldn't it be a joke if he married Notch again?)

Sakovic seemed to have anticipated Morey's remarks, and as soon as he clapped his hands, a maid served:

'Quamdiu is maiestatem tuam ipsi respondet materia, et senis, Hoc dabit omnis potio Vivacitas ad maiestatem tuam! (As long as Your Majesty should do this, the old man will transfer all this elixir of immortality to Your Majesty!)

Morey was overjoyed. As the king of a country, if you want to ask him what he can't get in this life, it is probably immortality.

“... Bene, suus 'tum habitavit?“ （...... Okay, then it's settled!) Morey weighed it up and agreed.

“Ego, Caesar est sapere.“ (Your Majesty is wise.) Sakovic bowed and saluted, motioning for the maid to bring the potion forward.

Deinde Valeant (under Farewell. ）

Sakovic walked out of the main hall and looked down on the bustling Liyue City, the corners of his mouth rose slightly:

"Haec stultus..." (This idiot...... ）

As soon as Cole returned home, several family members hurried over: "Inquit, locum tenens Latvian oppugnatum heri et gravibus iniuriis pati!" (General, Lieutenant Retao was attacked yesterday and was badly wounded!)

Cole's head (buzzed).

The family only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and Cole was gone.

In the room, Litao lay quietly on the bed.

"Magia umbra ..." (Shadow Magic...... Cole stood in front of the bed, his teeth clenched.

Arthur strode into the main hall.

'Quid a me quaeris? (What are you looking for me?)

(Take you to meet someone.) ）

Cole didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly to the wing.

Arthur, though a little strange, followed. But when he saw the person lying on the bed in the side room, his pupils suddenly contracted!

“Ego quaeritur tu secretus magica umbra est in cognatione tua regiis Latvian?“ (I ask you, is it your royal family's secret shadow magic?) Cole spoke suddenly.

"Audi me: ego........." Arthur hurriedly explained.

“exaudi me!“ (Answer me!)

“Ita ......“.（...... Be. ）

'Et tu me vivere in heri? (Did you stay in my house all night last night?)

“Ita ......“.（...... Be. ）

“Nonne vos in gladio gerunt vulnus rediit in domum suam hodie? ' (When you returned home today, did you have a sword wound?)

（...... ）

(Okay, you can go.) Cole said with a blank face.

'Audi ad me ... (Listen to me...... Arthur wanted to explain something.

(Okay.) Cole interrupted him, "Ego sum Nojel et non facile fac conclusionem aliquam potest reducere amicissimo meo. Ita etiam si omnes testimonio demonstrat et nunc, et usque tendunt ad cogitant quod nihil ad facere in hac re. Sed placent et magnificentia tua Haihan antequam veritatis exeat. et non potest stare tranquillitate, celsitudini exhibere meminerint. (I'm not a Nogel and don't make easy decisions about my best friend.) So even now that all the evidence points to you, I'm still inclined to think that you have nothing to do with it. But please also ask Your Highness Haihan, I can't stand calmly with Your Highness until the truth comes out. ）

“I potest intellegere.“ (I can understand.) Arthur smiled wryly, "Veni huc hodie dicere vobis, ut imperatorem faciam vobis Dux, quod pertinet ad statum Stanway, et accipere munus cras. Sed ...“ Arthur vidi tacet Cole, “puto vos postulo aliquem manere solam nunc. (I came today to tell you that the emperor had made you a duke, belonging to the state of Stanway, and would take office tomorrow.) Can ...... now Arthur looked at the silent Cole, (I think you need to be alone for a while now.) ）

After Arthur left, Cole suddenly ripped off his mask and smashed it with one palm!

In the dust of the room, Cole clutched his chest and slumped to the ground.

Pain from the depths of his veins was spreading through the bones of his limbs. Along with it, there are also those dusty memories that have been sealed for thousands of years.

The next day, on the carriage to Stanway.

“Video Dux, et Dominus Stanway rem publicam ... suus 'non bonum modo.“ (Duke of Kane, Lord of Stanway...... It's a good idea. Cole sat in the car, squinting his eyes and sneering.

There are few major generals in Stanway, and he has just experienced a big war, and even if Cole is really afraid of it, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although Stanway is a poor and remote country, it is good that the bad people have put a prince's hat on Cole's head, and it can still be said that Wales will be rewarded for his merits, and by the way, he will be transferred back from Stamway.

But speaking of which, Cole also has a relationship with Stanway, and he went around and returned to this place. Gangs are rampant here, and the people have been oppressed by the government and gangsters for many years, and they have long been overwhelmed, and almost all of the large-scale riots in Longze in the past 20 years have been in Stanway.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but urge the groom. Letao had been sent to Stanway for treatment in advance, and although he was under the banner of Duke Kane, he was still not very worried about the security of Stanway.

Even with Cole's knowledge, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the rows of gangsters outside Xinglong City welcoming them and the towering palaces in the city. This level of grandeur is nothing more than the presence of the emperor in person.

"Video ego receperint Dux" (Greetings to Duke Kane!) An imposing baritone sounded outside the car.

Tucci, the boss of the Stanway gang, is the president of the Underworld Society. The Kasai Gang, a gang that belonged to it, was once the largest gang in the mainland, and in its heyday it was on an equal footing with the major bishops. However, in recent years, the Kasai gang has been attacked by the joint efforts of the five countries, and their strength has dropped significantly, and Tucci can only shrink in Stanway and dare not come out. Even so, in Stanway, the name of Tucci is definitely better than the name of any city lord.

Cole slowly stepped out of the carriage, his coercion increasing with each step. To deal with these murderous guys, it is absolutely impossible to deter without strength.

Tucci felt a pang in his heart, but he didn't show it, just said happily:

“Audivi quod sit curia ducis, et videns hodie. Est re incredibili. Vicki per omnes iam diu expectans tuum, uicem: veni mecum". All of you have been waiting for Your Highness for a long time, so please come with me, Your Highness. ）

Although Tucci's words were quite polite, he did not leave half room for Cole to refuse. Cole reluctantly followed, while also raising his vigilance.

In the hall, four big men stood up from their seats and said in unison:

Met ducis? (Met Duke Roger!)

“Sede, omnes sedent.“ (Sit, sit.) Cole didn't smile. The coercion on his body has also continued to be released, causing everyone to change slightly.

'Ducis, ego quoque proprie quaedam loci Propria. Nescio enim Dux non potest non rideat? (Duke Roger, the contemptible people have specially prepared some local specialties, I wonder if the Duke can laugh at it?) Tucci stepped forward, counteracting most of Cole's coercion, and smiled.

As soon as Tucci's words fell, several of his men brought over four or five boxes (of souvenirs).

Cole glanced at the gold and silver in the box, and then at the faces of Tucci and the people behind him, and wisely chose to accept them.

Seeing that Cole accepted the gift money, Tucci's eyes narrowed into a slit:

“Quid habetis quod urbanum, Dominus Rogerus? Eo cito eum ad convivium. Levavit autem cocus armum iam diu expectans.“ (Duke Roger, why be polite, hurry up to the feast, the chef has been waiting for a long time.) ）

Cole couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it.

I have to say that Tucci will really enjoy it, this large table dish can be compared to the palace banquet. However, everyone at the table had evil intentions, and they were busy testing each other and making false promises, even if there were countless delicacies, they couldn't swallow them.

The absent-minded crowd soon took their leave, but Tucci held his breath and waited until the crowd had dispersed before leaving.

"Tuqi adiuvit me manere unus minutam" (Tuqi gang leader and slow!) Cole stopped him, "Ego tibi aliquid de cohors duce. Nescio si cohors duce vellem ire per circuitum templi mecum? (I still have something I want to discuss with the helper, but I wonder if the helper would like to go to the main hall with me to talk?)

Tucci was stunned for a moment, a little wary in his little rice-like eyes embedded in the fat;

“Dux tuus laudavit dominus eius, sed adhuc autem alicuius rei est in Kasai cohors exspectantes ut de hac quaestione. ......Si est non magna..." ）

"Ne temere perturbare princeps nam nimis longum est, in tantum paulisper". Cole stood up and made a (please) gesture.

Tucci had no choice but to walk towards the main hall. Kohl Steinway became famous in the first war of counterinsurgency, and Tucci was also deeply jealous of him, otherwise how could Cole be treated so courteously? You know, as an underworld emperor, the previous governor of Stanway had never even seen Tucci's face when he took office.

Tucci arrived in the main hall first, and after a slight pause, he found the closest place to the door and nestled in. He's a little too big.

Cole sat at the top:

“Im 'non iens circum anguli apud Tuqi Gang adesse. Ad amen dico vobis quia ego sum mansit Stanway parumper abscederent et se habet quaedam intellectus et rei hic. Etsi enim Kasai Gloria in Tuqi Gang est bene notum est in mundo, sunt adhuc plures greges Steinway in re publica qui palam et clam comparatis ad antagonizing Tuqi cohors duce, ius? (I'm not going to beat around the bush with the Tucci gang anymore, and I'll tell you the truth, I've been in Stanway for a while, and I know a little bit about the situation here.) Although the Kasai Gang under the Tucci Gang is famous all over the world, there are still many gangs in Stanway State that are openly and secretly against the Tucci Boss, right?)

"Dux quod significat ..."(Duke means...... ）

«Nescio, quod cogitavi ut Stanway Tuqi cohors dominus tuus et orbis, et omnes greges Kasai cohors venerantur, et ad tui oris imperium audire?“ (I wonder if the leader of the Tucci gang has ever thought that in this state of Stanway and even in the world, all the gangs are respected by the Kasai gang and listen to your orders?)

Tucci's eyes flickered, and he said slowly:

“A ducis misericordiam in corde ejus. Et ille scit, se quoque. Et Kasai cohors est non melius quam prius. Licet etiam vult faciunt REGRESSUS et sumptus facere est quam ad Kasai cohors. Etiam si vincit forte in Kasai cohors et erit ledo dura est, vereor ne aliquis erit magnus paciscor pro nihilo. (The duke's kindness is appreciated.) But there is self-knowledge in the next, the Kasai gang is no longer as good as it was back then, although Zai also wants to make a comeback, but the price of doing so is something the Kasai gang can't afford. Even if they win by luck, the Kasai Gang will be hit hard, and they are afraid that they will let others pick up a big bargain in vain. ）

Listening to Tucci's seemingly point-inducing words, Cole was not annoyed, but shook his head with some regret.

“Ego sum: Coarctati sunt in temporalibus rebus: et sic me habuit.“ (I was entangled in mundane affairs and lost my company.) ）

Tucci pulled his round body out of his chair and paced slowly.

The Far North.

The word (moho) is a transliteration of (cold ice) in the ancient Longze script in the era when the five Chinese languages were not yet unified. And the city of Auckland, the capital of the Moho Empire, has the title of (Ice and Snow Capital). Never since records began, the snow and ice in Auckland have melted completely.

Among the snow-capped rooftops of Auckland City, apart from the Royal Palace, the Wind House is the most conspicuous. As one of the four royal families, Fengfu has always demonstrated the great glory of its 500-year-old extremely popular ministers.

However, at this time, a fierce quarrel was in full swing in this luxurious mansion.

“Sufficit tibi hoc non potest!“ (Enough!, it can't be!)

“Wuhen: Scio suus 'ferreus pro te accipere.“ Feng Wuyue ingemuit, “Sed haec est vestra optimus choice. Moho inferior sunt hominum. Etiam nostra familia Feng potest conteram praecepta. In facto, hoc iam est pulchellus bonus ex fine, vos have ut sciam, frater vester ... (Traceless, I know it's hard for you to accept.) Feng Wuyue let out a long sigh, (but this is your best bet.) Moho women are inferior to men, even if we are the Feng family, we can't break the rules. In fact, this kind of ending is already very good, you know, your brother ...... ）

Feng Wuyue sighed faintly, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and left, leaving only Feng Wuyue alone.

After standing there for a moment, making sure that Feng Wuyue would not return suddenly, Feng Wuyue quietly walked into a dark room and took a jade bottle. The strong smell of blood spread immediately.

Sniper, an ancient beast, an overlord of ice. Its blood is blue in color and contains the energy of extreme yin, which is an extremely effective enhancer for ice mages. But this snipe is so weird, not to mention the great side effects, but also specializes in overcoming extremely cold physique. If the Extremely Cold Physique Magician rashly takes it without an antidote, he will definitely die within three days. Feng Wuxian didn't want to tear his face with the family, but now that things have developed to this point, he has nothing to keep.

Wind Traceless drank up the sniper's blood. He stared at the jade bottle in his hand for a long time, and suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed the jade bottle to pieces.

Following. The scene of the competition and recruitment.

The people of the Moho Empire were fierce, especially the women. During the war era, the female samurai legions of the Moho Empire used to be a nightmare for the men of Shikoku. Even in times of peace, the women of the Moho Empire still valued their muscles for beauty, and it was because of this that the power system of the Moho Lady was maintained. And the way the women of the Moho Empire recruit relatives is also a competition, and only the strongest men are worthy of being their spouses.

Among the aspiring players, one man stands out. I saw that his face was expressionless, neither happy nor sad. Just repeatedly rubbed the blade of the sword, and his gaze was calm. The surrounding contestants automatically got out of the way, forming a circle with a diameter of one meter centered on the man.

The jousting soon began. Leo glanced at his opponent, but was suddenly stunned.

(What, surprised?) Letao didn't smile at all.

（...... Who told you to come here?)

(Not welcome?)

(Welcome, how could it not be welcome...... Leo smiled. (After all, I've been thinking about you every day for more than three years...... My dear...... Younger brother)

In an instant, the stars fell!

(What's going on?) Feng Wuyue stood up with a bang, and his expression changed greatly.

(Star Death?) The wind is without a trace and his face is surprised. Leo had expected him to strike without saying hello, but she was surprised by his choice of moves. The scope of starfall magic is extremely large, it belongs to the category of group magic, and it has little effect on individuals, so it is obviously extremely unwise for Leo to choose it at this time.

(The contradiction between these two people is not small...... Feng Wuxian thought about it, and guessed the reason.

(Huh...... It's up to you. Letao's smile vanished instantly.

Between the lightning and flint, Lietao threw a hundred punches!

Leo is a typical big man, and he has the air of an invincible king who has been in a hundred battles, and the star death is surging in momentum, in contrast, the punch thrown by the clear-eyed Lietao looks like a python shaking a tree. Some people in the audience even closed their eyes, unwilling to see this bloody scene.

But this seemingly weak fist actually smashed all the flying fire meteors in the sky!

Leo was briefly exhausted by the pull of the air engine, and Retao seized the opportunity to seal his hands.

(Fallen God Strike!)

Dozens of shadows struck from all sides, and the black mist quickly enveloped Leo.

Letao spread out his palms and slammed them in!

With a bang, Leo bounced out, and a mouthful of muffled blood sprayed in the air, extremely glaring.

Leo flew out a few feet before he could barely stand on his feet, and almost fell off the stage.

(Thanks to you, I know all about your family's magic, and you want to kill me in your current state?) Letao smiled contemptuously.

Leo stared at him intently, not saying a word.

(After so many years, it's time for our feud to end.) Letao drew his sword from the scabbard behind his back.

(Blue Frost Sword...... Sure enough, it has something to do with Cole. Leo recognized the sword.

(Suffer death...... Letao's eyes suddenly burst into murderous intent,

Leo had calmed down, but for some reason he became furious, his hair stood on end, and the stars above his head fell again!

(Her name, you don't deserve it!) Leo's eyes breathe fire.

Litao shattered Starlight with a sword and kicked Leo away:

(You're less worthy of mentioning her than I am!You're her own brother, see what you've done?)

Leo took half a step back, grabbed Retao with his backhand, and threw him into the air with all his might!

“Absque te, quæ non omnino mori!” (She wouldn't have died at all without you!)

Litao took advantage of the momentum to dive and collided with Leo's sword:

“Quod suus 'iustus non fallimini? Si non duxit me ad urbem de Bray et non currere in ut homicida, et illam deterioratus est quia non de me, qui solus bastardis fiat Noch" (That's nothing but you deceiving yourself!) If you hadn't led me to Bray, I wouldn't have run into that murderer, she wouldn't have been hurt by me, and we wouldn't have met Noki's bastard!)

Leo suddenly exerted his strength and shook Retao into the air, "Mihi omnino ignave perierunt, Qui audit et non identify Nuoqi, quae recta dicunt de me ut faciam vobis?" (Fart!, you coward, you don't even dare to identify Notchy, what qualifications do you have to say me?)

Litao flipped in the air before he landed, and almost at the same time, he rushed out with his sword in hand:

“De ignavia, sed quid tu saltem audeat ad rem to ulciscor noch, quid agis? Quotiens tibi comparasti ad Noch sed propter personam, tantum aude stridor dentium. !“

(I'm not falsely cowardly, but what about you? I at least now dare to go to the Rem Sect to seek revenge on Nuoqi, what are you doing? As the young patriarch of the Long family, how many times have you had the opportunity to get close to Nuoqi? But for the sake of your status, you only dare to grit your teeth on the side!)

(Fart!) Leo is furious, (I'll kill you!)

Leo repelled Lietao with all his might, pointing his sword at the stars:

(Stellar Magic: Eclipse!)

I want to see how powerful your killing skill is!) Letao laughed, (Fifth Order Magic Array, Four Spirit Seals!)

Leo's eyes are split, and his sword is pointed at the sky!

The four spirits erupted with devastating power, colliding violently with the dazzling pillars of light that had converged into the starlight!

(Damn!) Feng Wuyue hurriedly made a move, using magic to turn into a protective shield to protect everyone in the audience.

The explosion drowned out all sounds, and the bright light kept everyone's eyes open.

Letao looked at the pillar of light that was getting closer and closer, and smiled bitterly, "Why can't you beat him......"

At this moment, on the Qingshuang Sword, a flash of light flashed.

A hint of crimson appeared in Retao's eyes, and his expression began to become strange, and he pointed with his finger, and the pillar of light suddenly stopped!

(Play soul eater magic with me?) Letao smiled evilly, (give it back to you!)

The pillar of light bounced back, and a muffled grunt came from the field.

(To show you, what is real soul eater!) Retao raised his middle finger, and a black hole slowly formed at his fingertips.

The whole city of Auckland trembled! The audience panicked, but because the bright light had not dissipated, they did not know what was happening, and could only scurry around. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while. The big explosion just now was very reluctant, and at this time, it couldn't even dispel the bright light. Feng Wuyue tried to maintain order, but in vain.

Suddenly, the red light in Retao's eyes receded, and the black hole vanished.

Letao, who came to his senses, seemed a little confused, and he tapped his head to figure out what was going on. However, when he saw Leo fainting, he realized that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, so he took advantage of the chaos and escaped into the crowd.

Wan Qian Mountain, the Red Nationality Shrine.

In the conference room, several big names were arguing, and Igmont banged on the table in annoyance.

In the center of the table is a half-length stone statue that is said to have been left behind by the first high priest, but it has never been seen to make a prophecy.

Today is not destined to be an ordinary day.

The statue's neck suddenly moved.

"Monitum Monitum, superpositione magicae, magicae est, superpositione comes-"

Igmont's fingers froze.

Longze, Stanway.

Cole looked at the letter on the desk with a solemn expression.

The letter, which was recovered from the rebel barracks after the war, bears the words (Priest's Letter) and is signed Sakovich. The contents of this letter confirmed Cole's suspicion that there was a guy named (Priest) behind the rebels. What made Cole even more disturbing was that Sarkovic mentioned in his letter that now that the moon (the overall situation has been decided), as long as Lietao's (east wind) is in place, it can be a big thing. Sarkovic did not elaborate on the more specific content, but Cole had a vague sense of foreboding, and Lietao was afraid that it would be a lot of trouble.

(Letao...... Cole tapped his head irritably, and although Lietao was sober, even he didn't know who the attacker was that night, and Arthur was still the main suspect in the murderer.

(Tuk-tuk.) There was a knock on the door.

Cole hurriedly grabbed the mask on the case:

(Enter.) ）

(Your Highness, the new officials assigned to Stanway have arrived in Stanway, please ask Your Highness for instructions.) It was a small official who came in, and his tone was respectful.

(As is customary in previous years, but don't forget to have them gather at the palace after October.) Cole waved his hand.

(Yes, Your Highness.) ）

Ten days later, Duke's Palace.

As soon as Cole appeared, the newcomers in the officialdom below exploded with a bang. According to the official election system of the Longze Empire, new officials, except for those who are powerful in their families, must serve in the local government for three years before they can be transferred to the capital. The exact location is optional, but the poorer the state capital, the more likely it is to be promoted. Nine out of ten officials who are willing to come here to take up their posts are Top Gun idealists, and there is no room for sand in their eyes, so how can they accept the officialdom of Stanway State, which is full of officials and bandits?

Cole raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet:

(What should I do, according to you?)

(Arrest them all and send them to the capital for trial!) an official shouted.

Everyone agreed, and the crowd was outraged for a while.

(It's too much trouble.) Cole snorted coldly (Revelation!)

With a bang, the surrounding red curtain suddenly fell.

Only then did everyone notice that they were standing at the bottom of the palace, in front of them was the palace compound, and nearly a thousand officials from Stanway were standing in the courtyard.

These officials were also quite surprised to see them, and in an instant, nearly a thousand pairs of eyes stared at Ke Er in unison, trying to figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Ke Er Gourd.

Cole didn't even look at them, waved his hand, and his voice was extremely cold:

(Kill!)

Suddenly, a group of heavily armed archers came out, and ten thousand arrows were fired!

How could these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who had been raised by the hard-earned money of the people of Stanway, cope with such a life-and-death crisis? These rice worms of the common people died under the sharp arrows covered with poison before they could even scream a single word. After a few rounds of volleys, the palace compound was full of corpses, and it was unbearable to see.

It's quiet.

The new officials were speechless by this cruel scene, and even some of those who couldn't stand the smell of blood had begun to vomit.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of strong men appeared from the shadows and dragged the corpse away from the courtyard.

Cole turned to leave, and a new speaker who reacted shouted:

“Num occidere me tu es? ' (You're disregarding human life!)

“O? Potes indicare mihi, ut et ego vitam stultum?“ (Oh, tell me, what kind of straw man life method do I?) Cole turned around.

“Secundum Longze LEGE, omnes criminalibus magistratus, utcumque magna vel parva, si erit de eo sive in Department of Prudence suum, vel poenam undique: et eos qui foris sunt prohibitus non impedit. Hi homines debent quae missa ad iudicium, non est sicut mortuus est in tua militaris milites? populus similis tui agendum, ubi Caesar est? (According to the Longze Criminal Law, all criminal officials, no matter how big or small, should be punished by the local criminal justice department, and outsiders are forbidden to interfere.) These people should have been put on trial, not died at the hands of your soldiers for no reason! If everyone acts like you, where is the emperor's authority?)

“Huangwei?“ Cole's voice was inaudible, "Et quid tu vides et dixi ego imperatoria dignitate in ore tuo sunt exercitati in hoc statu Stanway!"

With a flick of Cole's sleeve, a streamer struck the courtyard, revealing eight wooden boxes.

When everyone looked closely, they found that the eight wooden boxes were full of letters, which looked like there were tens of thousands.

“Haec utnan convenienter septem petitiones faciem regis non vidit quia tulit officio. Est autem summa 50.000 nostras, quorum 18,000 homicidium casibus solus. Etiamsi tantum pars adfuerat de casibus sunt vera, sunt tamen 8,000 vitam, et solam alia crimina? Si ergo me magister et magistratus corrumpere, qui magister est his qui sunt inania? (These are the 50,000 letters of report I have received since I took office, of which 18,000 are murder cases alone, and even if only half of the cases are true, that is a full 8,000 lives, not to mention other crimes?)

Cole breathed a long sigh of relief and continued:

“Vos autem dixi in mea domo mortuus milites et dico vobis: stantes post me omnes summo octo centum experts in tota civitate Stanway? Dic mihi, quo uti ad octo centum militibus magis quam 1,000 magistratus capere? (You say they died under my soldiers, I tell you, standing behind me are all the 800 strongmen in the whole of Stanway!)

The official stammered and couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing outside the house.

“Bene, quae multa sunt, usque exspectat ut res est, sic lets 'go away se.“ (Okay, there's a lot of business waiting for you to deal with, so let's go away.) ）

The new officials left with pale faces.

What Cole didn't notice was that in a corner of the compound, a sinister face slowly emerged.

'Ducis? Quid mirum ... (Duke Roger?...... Surprise. ）

Roy, the former head of the Knights of the Capital and the current consul of Tarot City, smiled coldly.

"Transforming the Divine Dictionary Stanweizhou": When the army returned to Beijing through this, the Ming Emperor attacked the bandits at night, leading them to attack, the bandits lost their internal response, did not know their plans, and were defeated, except for Su Wu, no one was injured. Since then, the Stanway State has been completely eliminated, and the people have rushed to tell each other and stand in each other's arms. Therefore, the church was enshrined as a holy place, protecting it from decades of war and prosperity until the flood was opened and the demons were destroyed.

Hazy Moon Palace.

For some reason, Mishura always felt that the atmosphere in the palace today was not quite right, not only did she have a few more old women around her who didn't know her, but even the clever personal maid Rena was also abnormal, and broke three glass cups in a row, looking clumsy.

Misura never dreamed that tonight she would be about to take the biggest turning point in her life.

After tonight, the Heavenly Maiden of the Hazy Moon Empire will embark on a path of no return full of pain and despair.

Rena broke the glass cup for the fourth time, and before Mishora could speak, an old woman took the initiative to push Rena away and add a glass of wine to Mishora.

Only then did Mishora notice that there was an extra jug of wine on the table than usual. Mishora didn't drink a drop of wine on weekdays, and it stands to reason that the court chef shouldn't even forget about that.

"Filia Regina, quaeso". The old woman said calmly.

Mishola was stunned for a moment, what is this for? The servant forced the master to drink? Do you want to rebel?

While Mishora was still stunned, the old woman suddenly stepped forward and poured wine into Mishola's mouth!

Misura choked on the spicy liquid, and her brain went blank. But the noble princess recovered her reaction and was furious:

“Filium tuum ut moriatur?“ (Are you looking for death?)

“Et descendit filia reginae illius ira aequore blandiri, id est quod intelligitur maiestatem tuam. Meum est missio complebitur, ita hic me perturbes celsitudinem tuam". My mission has been accomplished, so I will not bother Your Highness here. The old woman said coldly.

“Vis ire? Veni huc, capto has aniles ecce princeps huius?“ (Want to leave, come on, arrest this old woman for this princess!)

However, the guards who are usually on call are as deaf today, and there is no movement at all.

Mishora was about to do it herself, but the old woman pushed her to the ground with a backhand. The old woman took this opportunity and left with Rena.

When did Mishera suffer such a grievance! Her face turned white with anger, and as soon as she stood up, she rushed out. But when the old woman left, she locked the door, and Michaeu couldn't pull it out.

Mishora was furious! She drew a sword and slashed at the door. She wanted to see who was so bold as to play tricks on her princess?

But before the blade could fall, the sword detached from Mishora's hand, and fell to the ground with a thud.

'Et utinam pereant, hoc vino ... (Damn, this wine...... Mishora suddenly woke up, but unfortunately it was too late. One stumbles away, and Mishora faints and falls unconscious.

In her coma, Mishola saw a figure walk in, picked her up by the waist, and gently placed her on the bed.

Under the cover of night, a scandalous incident in the deep palace quietly opened the curtain.

When Mishura woke up to see a naked Noki beside her, her world collapsed.

“pater!“ (Father!)

Morey raised his head and looked disapprovingly at Misura, who had broken in:

“Quid agis?“ (What are you doing here?)

«Pater et ego..."(Father, I...... ）

"Domine mi rex et ministrorum diligenter modesti sunt, obsecro, dimittat vobis peccata vestra" (Your Majesty!

“Surge et accipe eam!“ (Take it away!) Morey looked impatient.

Shocked, Mishura screamed as she struggled, hoping to arouse even a hint of father-daughter affection from Morey, but Morey did not react, and buried herself in the compromise, without even looking at Misura.

Mishura was dragged all the way from the Wenzheng Hall to Fengyang Palace by Nuoqi, and Nuoqi forcibly hugged her into his arms:

"Misura, hoc enim est ultimum in re nobis ........." ）

Before Noki could finish speaking, Mishera turned around and gave him a slap in the face!

“Nuoqi, daydreaming subsisto? Etiamsi tu confundere patris tui, ut non nubere podex" (Don't daydream!, even if you bewitch my father, I will never marry you!)

Notch suppressed his anger and said patiently:

"Misura..." (Misura...... ）

“I de hic!“ (Get out of here!) Mishora raised her sword to slash.

After all, Mishera is still a princess of a country, and Nuoqi still has some scruples, so he has no choice but to leave.

Mishera slumped to the ground, her sword falling limply to the ground.

Tears rolled down Misura's face, wetting her rich clothes.

“Ego ... ... Cole, ... Quo ego desidero tantum ..."(Cole...... Where are you...... I...... I miss you so much...... ）

Longze, Stanway.

Cole is packing up. Arthur sent a confidential letter, the letter was only two lines, and there were only three things to tell, but all of them were bombshells.

“Saint intrat in regiam maiestatem tuam vocat denuo, non revertetur?“ (Roy enters the palace, His Majesty urgently summons, don't go back!)

"Est vere magnus..." (It's a big head...... Cole was agitated. Wales had ordered him to enter the ranks, and had specially sent thousands of armoured soldiers (escorting) him back to Beijing, leaving him no room for manoeuvre.

“Bene, ego vis videre, quod sit d facere!“ (Well, I'd like to see what this Wales is doing!)

Wan Ling Mountain, Chi Nationality Shrine:

In a secret room, Igmont paced restlessly.

In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes emerged:

“Domine mi, in civitatem Ren Yan est extruxerat.“ (My lord, the city of Renyan has already been arranged.) ）

'Stirpem regiam Longze. Stirpem regiam Lunam Lunam, et Gentem Regiam de Moho iam posita in cuneum tenuatur. In Putnam Imperii habet utrumque internum et externum incommoda. Is est iustus a res temporis ante hoc perit. Nunc autem Yunyin Regiam, non reliquit.' (The royal family of Longze, the royal family of Haoyue, and the royal family of Moho have all laid a wedge, and the Gutenberg Empire is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is only a matter of time before it falls, and now the Yunyin royal family is left. ）

"Domine, mecum quies populi in latentem Yunyin iam coeperat agere, et credere se referunt ad bonum nuntium: et possit cito". ）

“An vero captus species daemonium fugit?“ (Did the runaway demon seed be caught?)

“... non tamen. Tua domine, magis vis mittere populum?“ （...... Not yet. My lord, do you want to send more people?)

“Nullum opus. Quidam olim me male deterioratus per levis erit hujusce pupa phylacterium. Illae sunt sumpserunt occasionem ad causam chao, et consilium fuit, paene victus est. Nunc sit amet nunc. Possum Ne unum daemonium semen pugna. Filii tenebrarum numero. (Not necessarily.) Some time ago, I was devastated by casting a puppet spell, and those things took the opportunity to cause chaos, causing chaos in the Demon Alliance, and my plan was almost revealed. Now is the critical moment, and we can't let a single demon seed disrupt the rhythm. ）

The red-eyed owner smiled silently.

“Quid, putas in word Zhu Spiritus“est praecipue ex ore meo ironiam? (Why, do you think the word demon is particularly ironic when it comes out of my mouth?) Igmont sneered.

“Subordinates non audes. ' (Subordinates don't dare.) ）

“Heh. Nonne Latvian non capit?“ (Huh.) Did Lietao catch it?)

“... Domine, non est ...“（...... My lord, that's ...... ）

"Ne fac mihi excusatio" (Don't make excuses for me!)

“Ita ......“.（...... Be. ）

“Tolle eam, non necesse est sequi Lietao hic. Ego vado, et Sakovic test lux est. Si sanguis non plene sui excitavit, ego vado non potes me modo". If his bloodline is fully awakened, I will only have to go there myself. ）

“Sacerdos sapit.“ (The priest is wise.) The demon seed hidden in the shadows was relieved.

“Ren Yancheng personaliter ad se. Et maledicti est pupa satis efficax. Vide in cole signum non intelligitur quantum corpus est difficile videre sanguine". Be careful, the seal on Cole's body has been unraveled, and it won't be difficult for him to detect you with his bloodline. ）

"Subordinates ut ordines". ）

Renyan City, the Field Family.

That's right, it's the Fielders. It was not Cole's temporary shelter in Renyan City, but the old mansion of Field, the head of the five royal families in the past.

Cole naturally knew what Wales was happing with. On the day of the selection ceremony for General Long Wei, Wales had already seen Cole's true appearance created by special means, and since he couldn't see through it that day, he still couldn't judge Cole's identity by his appearance. That's why Wales chose this side-tapping approach to observe Cole's reaction.

Cole deliberately didn't wear a mask and strode in. He had already discovered the Field family. There was a Broken Illusion Array around him, so before leaving, he took out the secret leather mask of the Red Clan: although this mask was disgusting just by hearing the name, Cole couldn't care about it so much.

“Ego, Caesar videre.“ (See Your Majesty.) Cole stepped forward and saluted.

(The Duke is coming.) Wales didn't smile.

Cole sat down across from Arthur. Arthur gave him a worried look, then quickly looked away.

“Omnes: Hic ego hodie boni hospitii praestitisti ducis tu non coarctari in loco iusta de te ipso frui!“ (Ladies and gentlemen, today I am here to feast Duke Roger, you don't have to be restrained in rank, just enjoy yourself!)

After Wales finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Cole with his peripheral vision, but Cole was unmoved and talked and laughed freely.

Wales' eyes narrowed dangerously, and with a wave of his hand, several maids stepped forward with a sword in hand.

“Omnes, per tanta tempora, et thesaurus occultus autem vidua Zhuqing invitare ut bene.“ (Ladies and gentlemen, I have a treasure for you to appreciate at this great time.) Wales grabbed the hilt of his sword and drew it with a thud.

A burst of light filled the entire old mansion in an instant, which amazed everyone.

But Cole felt a familiar power in the glow, and it was ...... A taste of family.

Cole clenched his fists tightly and slowly let go, he probably understood what Welsh was up to.

Cole took a long breath, his gaze calming, if it had been three years ago, he would have drawn his sword and rushed out. But after the wind and rain in the past few years, he is no longer the young man who was strong and strong. He knows very well that revenge requires enough capital, and now he doesn't have that kind of capital.

“Haec est gladio in Andrei swordsmithing factus est magister scriptor cerebrum eius. Etsi enim paulo inferior in tres celebre gladii: conteram illud etiam valet aurum et lapis". At this point, Wales suddenly looked at Cole, "De hoc Cambrica vidi subito Cole," suus 'non realiter odiosis hic est aliquis impatiens. Quomodo enim gladius choris Dux de PRAEBIBO ad omnes? (It's really boring to be irritable here, why don't you dance the sword of the Duke to toast everyone?)

Cole was stunned for a moment, and then smiled faintly:

(Ornatus. ）

Arthur's heart was in his throat at this moment. He kept an eye on Cole's right hand with the sword, for fear that he would do something stupid.

Cole knew in his heart that Wales was trying to provoke him to do it. Let's not talk about the Fields family. The forbidden army is eyeing you around. Even if Wales was alone, Cole couldn't help it. Today's feast was originally a game set up for him, as long as Ke Er showed a little bit of Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, Ke Er was afraid that he would be killed on the spot by the secret guards and formations that had already been arranged within ten breaths.

Cole's heart has never been so calm. His one move and one style are smooth, without revealing a trace of murderous intent, it is a standard sword dance, and the distance between him and Wales is always decent, not half a step beyond the thunder pool.

As the sword dance drew to a close, the big stone in Arthur's heart finally fell to the ground, but Wales's brow became more and more furrowed. He is the one who most hopes that this matter will be revealed, if the identity of Duke Roger is still uncertain this time, then I am afraid that this case will most likely become an unsolved case, and it will also become the biggest hidden danger of Long Ze in the future.

“Gladius bonum! Nescio, de hac Dux nominatur ars gladio?“ (Good sword!, I wonder if the duke's sword technique is named?) Welsh asked quietly.

“... Serena corde, simplici ex corde invicem in tela belli.“ （...... Pure heart, pure heart swordsmanship. ）

“Quod sit corde pura, in tela belli? Ducis capit sua sede cito!“ (What a clear heart swordsmanship!Duke Roger take a seat!) Arthur hurriedly played the round.

Wales couldn't say anything more, and the feast finally went into its normal flow.

Hazy Moon.

Rena wandered anxiously in front of the palace gates. The princess hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and had been crying inside, one moment to enter the palace to face the saint, and the other time to kill Nuoqi, and the sound of her throwing things could be heard clearly throughout Fengyang Palace. The emperor was worried about the ugliness of his family, so he had removed all the servants from the palace, and only Rena was left in the huge palace. However, the emperor ordered that the princess must have dinner before noon, but as for Misura's strength to seek death and life, Rena estimated that Mishura would never use chopsticks before she fainted from hunger, and at that time, the emperor would not do anything to Misura, but Rena was different, now she was the only palace maid, who would give her up for the dead ghost? But Rena knew Mishora's temper no better, if she went in now, it would probably be a dead end.

Rena's heart is horizontal, since it can't be done horizontally or vertically, it is better to fight to the death, the difference between offending the princess and disobeying the emperor Rena still understands, she pushed the door open.

Mishera sat on the ground with her head scattered, and the palace was in shambles, full of signs of sword slashing.

“...... princeps ' (princess...... Rena cautiously approached.

“Volumine!“ (Get out!)

"Princeps" (princess!) Rena fell to her knees in fright, "Ego, Caesar habet, quod in palatio iussit habere cibum in tempore post meridiem est. Quaeso Latin consideremus vivos et mihi facere?" (Your Majesty has decreed that the palace must have dinner on time in the afternoon, please forgive Rena, let me live!)

“Ego ad te ire?“ Mishora became furious and raised her sword and slashed.

Rena couldn't dodge it, and received a sword on her right shoulder, and blood gushed out. She gasped, her facial features were huddled together in pain, but her low status made her dare not even scream a word of pain, all she could do was gritted her teeth and retreated with tears in her eyes.

The moment Rena closed the door, all the grievances and unwillingness in her heart turned into tears and fell to the ground. She hated this unfair fate, obviously two girls who were almost the same, one could do whatever she wanted and act arbitrarily, while the other could only swallow her anger and wagging her tail and begging for mercy.

Nuoqi happened to pass by the palace, and he wanted to stop by to see if the master of Fengyang Palace was angry, but he happened to see Rena squatting at the door sobbing.

Notch leaned over curiously: "Tu es ......" (You are ...... ）

"Hanc tibi regia..." (pro...... His Royal Highness the Prince!) Rena was startled, wiped a handful of tears and stood up.

Notch was slightly stunned. Although the girl in front of her is not stunning, her appearance is fresh and lovely, and she does not have the invincible arrogance of Mishora at all. There were still some teardrops in the corners of her eyes, and the sleeve of her right arm was completely cut off by Mishora, revealing her delicate and delicate skin, and her clothes were a little messy, and the whole person was pitiful, which greatly stimulated Nuoqi's desire to protect.

Rena suddenly realized that her right shoulder was completely exposed to the air from the collarbone down, and her face was slightly red, and her hands were interlaced at a loss.

Such an action falls in Notchy's eyes, and it naturally looks extremely cute. He reached out and gently stroked Rena's cheek.

'Brachium tuum ... (Your arm...... ）

Rena's face was as pale as a ripe apple, and she replied in a stumbling voice:

“Ita ... tibi ceciderunt accidens ..."(Yes...... I accidentally fell...... ）

“Num sic autem cadunt? Scio eius ingenium. Passus sum servientes multum de eam.“ (I know her temper, I think she's suffered a lot.) ）

Rena looked at Notchy's affectionate eyes in a daze, and she suddenly realized that God had sent a perfect opportunity to her, a turning point in her life that could change her fate and soar to the sky.
