Leonard had already knocked Bran to the ground at this moment, and held down the right hand of the president's son holding the bow, glaring at the other party's eyes, and warning in an extremely stern tone: "I still believe what Tina said. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info You are not allowed to be so impulsive!"

Seeing that he had lost the opportunity to snipe his target, Bran was very stiff-mouthed and replied angrily: "Okay." Then we'll wait and see!

On the other hand, this commotion has attracted the attention of the Lars Imperial soldiers outside the Lars Imperial military camp, a patrol team armed with a medium-bladed sword, wearing armor made of animal skins and iron sheets, wearing iron helmets that show their faces, and carrying medium-sized round shields. Seeing Tina and Hanks, the soldiers ran forward and surrounded the two suspicious figures.

Then, the captain of the Lars Imperial patrol asked, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Hanks unhurriedly took out a piece of a crimson crystal token carved with a black dragon pattern from his arms, and stretched out his hand to display it in front of the patrol leader, asking rhetorically, "Do you know this?"

The patrol captain did not know what the token was, but he saw that it must be an object that belonged to the Lars Empire, and was not something that ordinary people could have, and replied, "Isn't this the symbol of our Lars Empire? ”

Hanks justifiably made his request: "This is a token that symbolizes the royal authority of the Lars Empire. Please take us to your commander-in-chief. ”

When the patrol captain heard this, he immediately understood that the other party was not small, and immediately became very polite and said with a smile: "Okay." I'll take you back, both of you. ”

At the same time, Leonard and Bran used binoculars to carefully observe the deployment and size of the Lars Imperial Army for a while, but they did not dare to stay here for a long time, so they set off and turned back together. They found that the Lars Imperial Army had looted a large amount of grain and grass and hoarded them in the barracks along the way, and the supplies were very sufficient, at least to support the consumption of materials for several more months, and they also found that the enemy army was deploying dozens of huge catapults outside the city of Bagram, preparing to set up trebuchets to attack the city.

When Tina was taken by an officer of the Lars Empire. After leading into the central tent of the imperial military camp and meeting with the commander-in-chief of this army, he had just opened his mouth before he could say a second sentence: "Brother Huang, the Duchy of Bagram and the Mercenary Association have no intention of disfavoring the Lars Empire at all. Her face was immediately slapped in the face with a very loud slap from the commander-in-chief, the crown prince.

Immediately after, the crown prince in military uniform rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bruises on his arms and wrists that had been strangled with ropes and whipped with leather whips, and roared violently: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about!? You are still my own sister, and you are talking to the scum of the mercenary association!? You see, they have humiliated this prince! What have they abused me into!?"

Although Tina's face was slapped red by the other party, and tears could not help but appear in the corners of her eyes, she still did not show weakness and retorted to the crown prince with righteous words: "But what is this compared to the suffering of the people of Bagram? Because she was afraid that the crown prince would further question herself based on this information, and then sent troops to encircle and suppress Leonard and their more than 3,000 mercenaries.

This was followed by another heavy slap on Tina's face.

When the crown prince heard this, his expression became even more hideous and terrifying, his eyes were fierce, and he clenched his fists viciously, waved them in the air in a very crazy way, and roared hysterically: "Those damned untouchables are all in league with the Mercenary Association! How can their cheap lives be more important than the dignity of your imperial brother, the future emperor of the Lars Empire!?"

The crown prince, who did not listen to any advice at all, waved his hand and ordered Tina to be taken away from his big tent: "Come! Immediately bring the princess back to the Lars Empire and hand it over to her father." Don't let her appear in front of me again, in the eyes of Prince Ben!" "This guy is bent on revenge against the Mercenary Association and the Duchy of Bagram, and has already suppressed several letters sent by the Franks and has not made them public.

The contents of the Frankish letter demanded that the Lars Imperial Army immediately cease all inhumane acts in the territory of the Duchy of Bagram. The final directive also warned the crown prince in the harshest terms that the Republic of Vosfita had united Nakonaru and Jira and was about to embark on a joint military operation. The Lars Imperial Army is facing an extremely dangerous situation and must immediately cease all military operations in the Duchy of Bagram and return home as soon as possible.

However, the crown prince thought that he would be outside, and the king's order would not be affected, so he ignored this warning. Because he was often severely reprimanded and scolded by Frank for saying the wrong things and doing the wrong things in his country, he was not even as good as his own sister.

Therefore, this guy was extremely dissatisfied and dissatisfied with all the emperor's advice, and was eager to capture the city of Bagram and show his great ability, and took advantage of the situation to coerce and lure his generals who held military power, and coerced and lured these people to follow him, and then waited for the opportunity to squeeze out the Franks and seize the throne of the Lars Empire.

The crown prince is even more disgusted with Tina, and cannot tolerate his royal sister to continue to stay in Bagram, hindering the implementation of his plan and obstructing him from doing whatever he wants. Of course, this guy didn't have any coherent plans at all, mainly because he hated Tina's freedom to control the army at will.

Twenty-six years ago, when the orc country of Jiluo was unified, it was also subjected to the brazen intervention of the Republic of Vosfita. However, instead of achieving the desired goal, the Republic of Vosfitta continued to divide the Jiro, but was defeated by the Jiro, and a year later was counterattacked by the orc army, which almost led to the destruction of the country.

Since then, as one of the seven heroes of the Demon God War, the prestige of the Elven King Cleos in the continent of Farusion has plummeted. Therefore, the crown prince of the Lars Empire was arrogant and believed that with his unprecedented wisdom and martial arts, the threat of the Republic of Vosfitta was not to be feared at all.

After Tina was taken down by the guards. The crown prince's face sank again, and he signaled Hanks, who was standing aside in a coercive tone: "Hanks, are you guilty?"

When Hanks heard this, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, hurriedly squatted down his body, knelt down on one knee in front of the crown prince, and replied: "Weichen is guilty of not restraining Her Royal Highness the princess." Her Royal Highness has been exposed to many people and things that should not be contacted. "Although the middle-aged uncle himself is not afraid of death, he still has his wife and children in the Lars Empire, so he is very afraid and jealous in his heart.

Seeing that he had coerced the other party so easily, the crown prince couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face, and continued to threaten Hanks: "It's good to know the guilt." Then, it's up to you to bring the princess back to the Lars Empire. Don't go any further. Otherwise, the life of your whole family will be at risk. ”

Hanks received the order with sincere fear: "Respect the order." As a result, the middle-aged uncle did not dare to slack off at all, drove a carriage, and sent Tina back to Mandolia, the capital of the Lars Empire, under the escort of several cavalrymen. In order to avoid implicating Hanks's family, the female mage did not make any unusual moves on the way home.

Due to the fact that the number of horses that can carry people and pull carts on the continent of Faroucion is very scarce. So the Lars Empire did not form a large-scale cavalry force. Only a few elite cavalry guards and noble chariots used horses as animal power.

For the next three days, Leonard stayed with Kevin and Mel in a small town mansion, quietly waiting for Tina and Hanks to return. As soon as Bran returned to the town, he led more than 3,000 mercenaries to evacuate the town. At the same time, a loyal retinue of the chief mercenary of Andy's family sneaked over the city walls and slipped out of Bagram in the middle of the night, and then inquired about the location of the president's son from the mercenary eyeline outside the city.

The entourage mercenaries found more than 3,000 mercenaries including Bran hiding on the hills outside the town, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the president's son, and said, "Young master, the master sent me to send you a letter. In the letter, Andy said that the city of Bagram was in good condition, well supplied, and could be sustained for a long time, and told Bran not to act rashly, not to fight with the army of the Lars Empire, and not to venture into the city to find him.

The president also told in the letter: The elven king Cleos will not sit idly by and watch the tyrannical behavior of the Lars Empire. It won't be long before reinforcements from the Republic of Vosfitta arrive. Before that, Bran and the others must endure the loneliness and calm their minds to watch the changes, so that they can protect themselves and win the final victory.

Bran, who had been waiting on the hill for three days and three nights, never saw the troops of the Lars Empire coming, so he completely obeyed Leonard's level of knowledge, and secretly admired in his heart: "Leonard, you won—"

When Bran returned to the town with more than 3,000 mercenaries. At this time, Leonard was already so impatient that he couldn't hold his breath at all: "Lie down, Tina, why haven't they come back?"

Leonard said, got up and rushed out of the door: "No, I'm going to find them!" Seeing this, Kevin and Mel not only did not stop them, but ran out of the door with the great swordsman.

Bran, who had come to find Leonard, heard the sound and entered the house, and dissuaded the great swordsman with a serious expression: "That's not good! Your impulsiveness will lead to death!" The president's son had been waiting outside the house all the time, and because he didn't know how to say it, he had been at the door for a long time and hadn't entered the house.

Hearing this, Leonard pushed away Bran, who was standing in front of him, and asked with a resolute expression: "Do you know that Frank has always wanted to include Tina in his harem. He's so old. He would ruin Tina's happiness for the rest of her life. Also, I promised it myself in front of Tina. As long as I have a breath left, I will never let that bad old man succeed!Do you want me to break my oath!?"

Seeing this, Bran stood behind Leonard and reminded loudly: "We don't even know if Tina and them are still in the military camp of the Lars Empire. Do you want to go to them like that?"

Leonard turned around and replied, "Of course." That's why I had to go to the enemy's barracks first. Visit the commander of the Lars Imperial Army as Tina's friend and a soldier of the Republic of Vosfitta. ”

Seeing this, the retinue mercenary who was standing outside the house with Bran couldn't help but pull out a map from the inner lining of his armor indicating the location, and told Leonard, "Little brother. If you go over like this, you are definitely going to die. The Lars Empire has always been at odds with the Republic of Vosfitta. This time, they first captured the town of Sida, which is under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Vosfitta. The two countries have already declared war on each other.

However, before the southern invasion of the Lars Imperial Army. There was a man who claimed to be a mysterious merchant who had come to visit Lord Andy. He told the lord that he had calculated that the Duchy of Bagram was about to be in trouble. When he left, he also left a note for the master, saying that if there was a major disaster, he could go to him at any time if there was any difficulty.

The old man didn't take this person's words seriously at all. It wasn't until a few days later that news of the southern invasion of the Lars Empire came from the border area. But the old man still couldn't trust this man, and he didn't believe that he could change anything. But a few days ago, when I was leaving. The old man handed over the note left by the mysterious merchant to his subordinates, and asked his subordinates to bring this thing to the young master. I thought: why don't we go and try this mysterious merchant now?"

Leonard, Bran, and the retinue of the mercenary set out together for the mysterious merchant's dwelling, and after he had made his intentions, he was led into the parlour of the villa by the servants.

Leonard sat down on the luxurious fur carpet in the drawing-room, and as soon as he saw the mysterious merchant in a white coat with a particularly high collar, black big scalp shoes, messy blond hair, bangs on his forehead, and a face above his lips into the drawing-room, he felt an unusually familiar feeling in his heart, and he made his intentions clear to the other party without the slightest restraint: "I want to find out whether there are still such two people in the garrison of the Lars Imperial Army. Their countenances are..."

As soon as the mysterious merchant sat down, he replied with a mysterious smile on his face, "Okay. But I'm a person who never does things for others in vain. You're going to pay for it. "OK is an English language that is different from the lingua franca of Faroucion.

When Leonard heard this, he agreed without hesitation at all, and with an extremely anxious mouthful: "At what cost? I promise you all. ”

The mysterious merchant then set his own conditions: "It's nothing. The reason why I say this is just to test your attitude. If you are not resolute enough, you will never agree to him. Didn't you take a lot of things from Baron Helgo's body, and give them all to me. I promised to take you to visit the military camp of the Lars Empire. ”

Leonard simply agreed: "No problem." Then he untied the backpack behind him, and dumped Hergo's belongings and gold teeth on the carpet in front of the mysterious merchant, thinking: This man is so powerful that he even knows about my kidnapping of Hergo.

After packing up the baron's belongings, the mysterious merchant led Leonard and the others out of his villa. Then, a masked man dressed in black drove a carriage carved with delicate multicolored patterns, luxurious materials, and exquisite workmanship, and stopped at the gate of the villa. The Great Swordsman suddenly felt an aura that made him more and more nostalgic rush towards him.

Then, Leonard shifted his attention to the carriage again, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this the carriage of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce?"

The mysterious merchant directly admonished Leonard: "You know, the commander-in-chief of the Lars Empire we are going to visit is a money-grubbing womanizer. If we don't pretend to be wider, we won't even be able to get through the barracks. With that, he and the Great Swordsman stepped into the carriage. Seeing this, the man in black did not stop for a moment, and drove away, leaving Bran and the two mercenaries in his retinue at the gate of the mysterious merchant's villa.

Half a day later, the carriage drove to the entrance to the barracks of the Lars Imperial Army. The guards guarding the gate saw that it was the carriage of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, and hurriedly stepped forward to interrogate. The mysterious merchant poked his head out of the carriage and told the guards that he was offering His Royal Highness the crown prince a rare treasure in the world.

When the guards heard this, they immediately asked them to wait here for a while, and they quickly ran back to report to their superiors. When the crown prince learned of this, he immediately decided to summon the mysterious merchant. So the guards put the wagon into the military camp of the Lars Empire.

After entering the barracks, Leonard and the man in black stepped out of the carriage with the mysterious merchant. When the Great Swordsman wanted to continue to follow the mysterious merchant into the crown prince's tent, he was stopped by a guard with a sword holding his hand, telling him, "I'm really sorry. None of the attendants were allowed to enter. "The guards knew that the people of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce were all VIPs, so they spoke as appropriately as possible and tried to be as polite as possible.

Just when Leonard was extremely unwilling to stay away from the crown prince's tent. The masked man in black who was driving suddenly stood behind the Great Swordsman, slapped Leonard on the shoulder and said, "I've already found out who you're looking for." Then Leonard followed the man in black to an elderly sergeant tending to the horses.

Under the guidance of the eyes of the man in black. Leonard opened his mouth to describe Tina and Hanks' clothing and appearance in detail: "Excuse me, have you seen..."

When the elderly sergeant heard this, he replied very affirmatively: "A few days ago. I have indeed seen two such people. Escorted by several cavalrymen, they had already left the place in a carriage and returned to the Lars Empire. I heard that the young woman dressed as a mage is still very noble. ”

When the man in black heard this, he put a few silver coins into the sergeant's hand and thanked him: "Thank you." It didn't take long for the mysterious merchant to finish offering the treasure and take Leonard and the Man in Black all the way away from the barracks in a carriage.

Leaving the Lars Imperial Army's garrison, Leonard got out of the car and separated from the mysterious merchant. The mysterious merchant stood high on the carriage and couldn't help but make a flying kiss gesture at the great swordsman: "Bye-bye." bye-bye. mybaby.”

Then, in Leonard's sight, the carriage slowly disappeared into the far end of the horizon, under the twilight sunset. On the other side, Bran and his retinue of mercenaries discovered that the villa behind them was nothing more than a daily rental residence of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. After the mysterious merchant left, he never returned.
