In the early morning, as soon as the sun shone in through the window, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside Cai Ya's house.

"Click" The two long swords blocked in front of the soldiers who were rushing over, and the guards guarding the door immediately said: "The duke is still resting, don't disturb it." ”

The soldier looked anxious, and shouted at the door: "Duke, duke..."

The two soldiers guarding the door, angry, pointed their swords at the past, "Tell you to shut up." ”

"What's the matter, so noisy" At this time, Cai Ya's dissatisfied voice came from the house.

As soon as Cai Ya heard that there was movement, the soldier shouted a few more times, "Duke, duke..."

With a "creak", Cai Ya's door was opened, and Cai Ya looked at the soldier in front of him with some annoyance, "Early in the morning, you came to my house and shouted, you don't want to live." ”

"Ouch," the soldier's face turned red, "Duke... Something big is wrong. ”

Cai Ya was immediately unhappy when she heard it, "What's the big deal, what's the big deal?" But Cai Ya followed and found that this soldier was not a guard in his own house, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and asked, "You seem to be a close confidant of Seroda?"

"That's right, duke, come with me, my lord told me to come to you, let you enter the palace now" The soldier still looked anxious, hoping that Cai Ya could quickly enter the palace with him.

Looking at the soldier's anxious appearance, Cai Ya felt uncomfortable, even if he was a cronie of Seroda, but in front of himself, it was just a soldier, didn't he let himself be embarrassed in front of his guards, and said in a hurry: "What can Seroda do, you have to let me enter the palace now, and he didn't come himself, but let you come and invite me, hum" waved his hand and walked to the house, "Wait for me to slowly get dressed, wash my face and then go with you." ”

"Ouch" The soldier stomped his feet, almost crying, and hurriedly said: "I can't wait for the duke, you can follow me into the palace, the town of Aoshan has fallen, and the king and Lord Seroda are waiting for you in the palace to discuss." ”

"What?" Cai Ya raised her voice and asked, "What has fallen?" ”

"Helev has already attacked the town of Aoshan last night, only a woman and a child have come back alive to report the news, I don't know when I will attack the city of Ding'o, the duke will follow me into the palace" The soldier was already eager to pick up Cai Ya and run to the palace.

“TMD···” Cai Ya looked at the sky outside the house, and shouted violently: "Hurry up, enter the palace, enter the palace" With his still messy hair and a robe, he walked out quickly, followed by the soldiers, and the two got into the carriage and rushed to the palace.

Cai Ya entered the palace and came to the king's study, and saw Ya Bour and Seroda with a worried face.

"What's wrong?" Cai Ya immediately asked, "That guy from Yabuti, did you really call him?"

Yabur raised his head, looked at Cai Ya, and said with a sigh: "Yes, my eldest brother, still doesn't give up on me, it seems that he wants me to die, so he can rest assured." ”

"MD" Cai Ya immediately scolded: "Back then, we fled here and established Ding Ao City, everyone did not interfere with the river water, but I didn't expect that over the years, he actually did not give up, and has been training the army, and I heard that the civilians of Aoshan Town only survived and one woman and child came back to report the news, is this true?"

"It's true" Seroda's face was heavy, "Bah, these beasts, even children and old people don't let go, and the lives of hundreds of people in Aoshan Town were killed by them overnight."

"MD" Cai Ya heard that they were really all dead, sat on the chair, and seemed to see the tragic death of civilians in front of him, his eyes were closed, and he was a little sad, "With the current strength of Ding Ao City, I'm afraid that the enemy can't be the enemy of Helev." ”

"Cai Ya..." Seroda snorted softly and said, "Both Yabrand and I know each other, so I came to you to discuss if there is any way to retreat from the enemy." ”

"Hehehe..." Cai Ya smiled awkwardly" The three of us, just the two of us have the strength, but in order to save Yabre, I was seriously injured, and the fighting spirit of this body is gone, if you want to say that in this Ding Ao City, in the Guards, the strength can reach the level of the Great Sword Division, and it is only Orlanci alone, the number of troops, to put it bluntly, is just over 10,000, Helev has expanded his army very quickly over the years, these years, let alone more than 20,000 troops, if I want to find a way, I can't help it, if I want to escape, the entire Ding Ao City, so many civilians, it is not an easy task. ”

"Yes," Abel looked out of the window, looking at the whole city of Dingo, this peaceful life, I don't know when it will be broken.

Seroda looked out the window, suddenly saw a mercenary on the street, and immediately said, "I think we might be able to hire a mercenary." ”

"Hehe..." Cai Ya immediately smiled: "Seroda, this is not a good thing to pay attention to. ”

"How?" asked Seroda.

Cai Ya looked at the mercenary who Seroda was looking at, and said: "The strength of the mercenaries is high, and it is okay to fight with monsters, but when it comes to war, it is not a one-on-one thing, they fight one-on-one, facing hundreds or thousands, or even tens of thousands of enemies on the battlefield, they may not be able to bear this sense of oppression, and besides, the mercenaries are only for money, and they will not fight with their lives when they stand on the field, because in their hearts, Ding Ao City is just a place for them to earn commissions, not their home." ”

"Seroda, what Cai Ya said is not unreasonable, mercenary, it's not easy to pay attention to" Yabr said lightly: "Seroda, pass the order, close the city gate, archers, city wall guard, the woman who reported this morning learned that the legion that attacked Aoshan Town last night has at least more than a thousand people, although it is not a large army, but this vanguard legion may attack first, a thousand legions, although we are not afraid, but we must also reduce the damage to Ding Ao City." ”

"Hey, hey..." Seroda smiled, "After all these years, I didn't expect that at my age, I could still face the enemy, hahaha" laughed and walked out of the study.

At the apex of the palace, Caiya and Yabr watched from the window as Seloda rode a hot horse and galloped out of the palace.

"Driving..." Seroda slapped the hot pony on the ass and galloped towards the city gates.

The soldiers at the gate of the city, far away, heard the sound of the hooves of the galloping horses, and everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw Seroda riding the horse of the fire, rushing towards him.

As soon as Seroda pulled the horse rope, the hot horse raised its front hooves and immediately stopped.

The guards at the city gate hurriedly walked towards Seroda, "Your Excellency. ”

"Hmm," Seroda replied, "take care of my horse." ”

"Yes, my lord," said the guard, taking the saddle and watching as Seroda ascended the wall.

The guards on the city wall, when they saw Seroda, immediately saluted, Seroda waved his hand and said: "The king has an order, now close the city gate immediately, archers, the city wall is on guard, if there is an enemy army, the sentry will immediately report." ”

"Yes," said a group of soldiers, in the same way.

At the apex of the palace, Cai Ya and Ya Bour looked at the closed city gate, and Ya Bour said: "Cai Ya, I am also old, if I can't defeat Yabuti's army this time, I can't run, so let me live and die with Ding Ao City." ”

"Hey, hey..." Cai Ya smiled: "What are you worried about, don't you still have me? I will accompany you." ”

Abel smiled slightly, and said: "Catum went to the academy, I don't know if it's good, bring him to me tomorrow, I want to see him, I have no children under my knees, if I can pass this difficulty, my throne will be passed to Catum in the future." ”

"Hey, hey... Knowing that you spoil him" Cai Ya smiled: "Don't think so much, your body can live for many years." ”

"Listen to you, live a few more years" Yabur said this, but he also knew that when he escaped from the Helev world, he was injured a lot with Cai Ya, and his body was not as good as day by day, and he still did not forget what he had just said, and said again: "Don't forget to bring Catum to see me tomorrow." ”

"Okay... Okay," Cai Ya said, patting Yabur on the shoulder.
