Renard and Duke Edmund had been in the conference room for nearly three hours, and when they parted, they both had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Lei Ye then rushed to contact the other twenty-four lords, who knew that they had no way out, and they all nodded and agreed to the request to send troops.

Two days later, in the early morning, the county of Meredith began to assemble a large army, and without any superfluous nonsense, the war had already begun when the Earl of Shelley's war letter arrived.

More than 2,400 cavalry, more than 3,200 infantry, 2,000 firearms troops, 400 griffon knights, a total of 8,000 men, the army was led by a high-ranking officer headed by Ray Dawang, and marched mightily to the east.

Due to treaty restrictions, Ray Tawang was unable to participate directly in the war, but he was allowed to give advice.

When the messenger, who was resting in the castle, saw this, his expression changed dramatically, and he rushed out of the door in a panic.

However, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw two fully armed guards standing at the door, and when the guards heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately turned around, and the gaze shot from the helmet was cold: "Is there something wrong with Your Excellency the Messenger?"

The messenger had a bad feeling in his heart, and he replied tremblingly, "I just want to go out and walk around." ”

The guard on the left hand side snorted coldly: "Sorry sir, the blessing of the Earl of Shelley, now that the entire Earldom of Meredith has entered the second-level alert state, you can't move around at will, please go back to the room and rest." ”

The guard on the right added, "If you need anything, please don't hesitate to mention it, we have everything here, food, women." ”

The alert state was invented by Lei Ye, and it was divided into four classes in total.

The minimum is a level 4 alert, which has little impact on the territory, but only intensifies patrols to remind the people to pay attention to safety.

The three-level alert state is stricter, and a curfew policy will be implemented, and no people will be allowed to go out from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. the next day, and the city gates will be closed and no entry or exit will be allowed during the curfew hours, except for sergeants and public servants.

The second alert status is stricter, the curfew time has been changed to 6 p.m. to 8 a.m., and no one is allowed to go out except for those who are on official business and have a pass.

Even during the day, anyone who wants to enter and exit the city gate must be strictly checked.

The highest level is the first level of alert, which prohibits going out all day, and at the same time gathers the leaders in the village to take refuge in the town shelter, and seals the city gates, which will never be opened again after being closed unless the alert state is lowered or revoked.

The county of Meredith has only been on first-level alert once, and that is when Lord Lei decided to implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness.

There are three times in the second-level alert state, all of which are when the demon army is coming, and this time it should be the fourth.

It's no wonder that the two guards have an indifferent attitude, and under the state of second-level alert, it is impossible for them to go out and have fun at night.

The messenger explained, "I am the messenger sent here by the Earl of Shelley, and I should have privileges. ”

The guard on the left nodded when he heard this: "That's right, you have privileges, you enjoy the highest level of courtesy, the same as Her Royal Highness Princess Alice next door and Her Royal Highness Sylvia, who just left." ”

The messenger felt honored, and immediately reacted that he had not been released, and he could not help but shout: "I protest, you are illegally imprisoned. ”

The guard's entire face was wrapped in a helmet, and he couldn't see his expression, he should have sneered: "I'm sorry, but the order we received is to keep you safe, if you insist on going out and encounter any danger......"

He didn't continue, but the grim tone had already upset the Courier.

The guard on the right was more in a better manner, explaining: "If you have any grievances, I can convey them to the higher management on your behalf." ”

The Messenger knew that he was imprisoned here, and that there were only two things that awaited him.

One: Earl Shelley won a big victory, he would become a hero, and then he was killed by the angry Earl Meredith, the probability should be thirty percent,

Second: Count Heidi won a big victory, and he would become a criminal minister, and then be slaughtered by the happy Count Meredith, the probability should be 70%.

In the final analysis, the probability of him being killed is 100%, in fact, since he took this task, Xiao Sheng's life is no longer his own.

The messenger's face changed, wondering if he could rush out on his own.

The guard seemed to see his thoughts, and sneered, "I hope you don't do anything stupid." ”

As he spoke, his right hand holding the sword suddenly glowed with a blue light, indicating that he was a martial artist: "A martial artist like me, there are no less than forty people around the castle. ”

Threat!

The messenger finally succumbed to the obscenity of the two, and he knew very well that it was wishful thinking for himself, a half-warrior who relied on his mouth, to kill more than forty vindictive warriors.

Thinking of this, he silently retreated into the house.

When the door was slammed shut, the messenger's face could not help but be sad, and he sat on the exquisite sofa, the tea on the coffee table still exuding residual warmth, and the quiet smell of tea permeated the room.

Excellent cigars, fine wines, fruits, dried fruits, and the hospitality is perfect.

Mo said that he was a small messenger, and even the Earl of Shelley himself probably could not enjoy such treatment.

However, the price to pay for enjoying these things was his small life, which he could never accept.

Thinking of this, no matter how good things are in front of him, he is not in the mood to enjoy them at all.

After thinking quietly for a while, the messenger suddenly stood up and made the most important decision of his life - mutiny!

He opened the door again, and smiled a little flatteringly, "Two brothers, I would like to meet Count Heidi or Baron Renard, and if they are too busy, let me meet any of the high-ranking people who can talk." ”

The guard was a little confused by the great transformation he had made, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

The messenger hurriedly straightened his attitude and said solemnly: "That's right, I have something extremely important to report to your superiors, which is related to the life and death of the county of Meredith. ”

Hearing this, the two guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "You stay here honestly, and I'll go and call someone over." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.

A moment later, Betty walked slowly under the guidance of the guards, and she was now more and more of a noblewoman.

When the messenger saw that it was a woman talking to him, he couldn't help but hesitate: "You are ......"

Betty didn't answer when asked, she couldn't say she was Renard's mistress, could she?

So he said lightly: "What can you tell me?" ”

The messenger turned his head to look at the guards beside him, and saw that the other party was standing upright, knowing that the woman in front of him was not low in the county of Meredith, he couldn't help but sigh and tell what he knew about the Earl of Shelley.
