On December 27, 1893, I, Vivian, Gartha, and Leibe officially set off for the Faratis Empire, and the news of their departure was only known to a few core figures of Meinster, such as Memphis and Yuhasseld, and Memphis and Sasaline only held a simple farewell ceremony for me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As we were about to leave, Memphester took my son Alex, who had just reached the full moon, to me and said to his son, "Little Alex, say hello to my uncle!" ”

Little Alex seemed to understand his father's words, and smiled at me with a pair of chubby little hands. I hugged Alex, held it to my chest, and said to Memphis, "Let me be Alex's father!" Alex, do you think it's good? ”

Memphis and Sasalyn nodded and happily replied, "That's great! I hope that little Alex can become a hero like his stepfather! In the future, Little Alex has one more person who loves him, and a father-in-law whom he will be proud of all his life! ”

At this time, little Alex smiled even more happily, clapping his little hands happily and looking very cute, like a little angel - there is no doubt that little Alex's appearance has been more inherited by his mother, and he must be a beautiful man when he grows up. Vivien and Gartha Ruri seemed to like children very much, and took them in their arms and teased them aside.

I smiled and said, "If you like, you can give birth to a dozen for me in the future." ”

The two of them shyly "spitted" at me, and then Vivien was embarrassed but did not speak, while Garsha Ruri said viciously, "You don't think! ”

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he smiled and said, "Little Ali is much cuter than that stinky man in Big Alex!" At least not a disgusting narcissist like his stepfather! "Then he didn't bother with me.

I had to smile bitterly, and secretly decided in my heart: I'd rather offend the villain than the beauty.

Yu Hasu handed me a small box and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of Meinste, I give you this box of Meinster loess, and I hope that Your Majesty will always remember that Meinster is your root!" Save your life no matter what the circumstances! Only if His Majesty lives, will there be a future for Meinster! ”

I put the box in my arms, nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Alec doesn't dare to forget the slightest!" ”

Memphis said with a little sentimentality: "I am sending you for the second time!" I hope this is the last goodbye! I hope you don't make me wait another two years! ”

I didn't notice that the corners of my eyes were a little wet, and I said with a forced smile: "Memphis, don't cry like a woman!" I'm just leaving temporarily, and I'm not going to come back forever! ”

"You're like a woman!" Memphis slapped me lightly and said in a dumb voice, "Alec, go early and return early, the future is precious!" ”

"Don't read anything!" Vivien and Garza Ruri and I stepped onto the thunder department, waved goodbye to everyone, and rode away.

When I arrived in the desert area where no one was around, I patted the neck of the thunderbolt and said to it: "Thunderbolt, this time has made you hold it tight, now, you can let go of your hands and feet and soar at will!" ”

I only heard a light hiss, and the whole body emitted a dazzling white light, and when a blue horn grew on the forehead, the white light dissipated, and was replaced by a circulating blue light, and in the shroud of blue light, a pair of snow-white wings with a length of three meters grew on both sides.

Lei Bu let out a long roar of pleasure again, flapped his wings, and soared into the sky, reaching the clouds in an instant, and then suddenly accelerated, turning into a streamer of light across the sky.

The wind whistled all around, blurring everything in front of me, and it seemed as if time had stood still in the high-speed flight of the mine.

At this time, there was only one voice in my heart crying out: Proust, I am coming! Binglan, wait for me!

Three days later, when we reached a town outside the imperial capital of the Falatis, we landed in a mountain forest, and let Thunderbe put away his horns and wings, and once again took on the form of a horse. At this time, Garsha Ruri couldn't help but sigh and said, "I can't imagine that the King of Divine Beasts will obey you!" If you spread the word, I'm afraid even the gods will be jealous of you! ”

I just said lightly, "We're friends." ”

Then take out the "Xiang Rong" and put it on his face, and the whole appearance will completely change, turning into an ordinary middle-aged man.

Vivien was amazed: "Every time I see you wearing the 'Xiangrong' and becoming a complete stranger to me, I can't help but wonder if the person next to me is another person?" I can't believe that there is such a magical mask in the world! ”

Garsha Ruri said proudly: "This is the best craftsman of our elven clan using the fragments of the 'elven heart', blessed by my mother with light phantom magic, which can conjure up the image you want as the wearer's magic changes, and even the voice can be changed." This is the highest crystallization of my clan's magic craft, and its level of craftsmanship is so high that even the dwarves can't match it! ”

After a short pause, we left the mountains and forests and galloped in the direction of the imperial capital.

Proust, the imperial capital of the Falatisis Empire, is located in the middle of the Imperial Realm and the largest nebula plain in the Southern Continent, and is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Empire, with a population of more than 7 million, and is the largest city in the Southern Continent of St. Lun.

Originating from the northern continental plateau of St. Lun, the Tianhe River is like a silver brocade belt passing through the east of the city, becoming a natural barrier in the east of Proust, the whole city is surrounded by the city wall from the inside, the middle and the outside from three degrees from high to low, the outermost layer of the city wall is also as high as ten meters, five meters wide, made of large stone bricks, the gap is filled with a mixture of pine resin, cloud mud, magic clay, etc., there are city guard soldiers wearing purple and gold armor on the city tower to patrol and guard uninterruptedly, and there is a super large magic cannon of twenty centimeters caliber, the defense is extremely tight, It's impregnable.

In history, the army of the Dotir Kingdom, the Shelunista Alliance and the Northwest Barbarians invaded the empire a total of 17 times, six of which invaded the periphery of the imperial capital, but they could not overcome the first layer of the city wall, and the corpses of countless enemy soldiers built up the unbreakable reputation of Proust's "Shield of Sainthood", and was also known as "a pillar of the southern sky", which made all the famous generals on the mainland frightened, and sighed in vain: "This is definitely not a city that can be broken from the outside!" ”

Because Luo Bai presented a complete set of identification documents and passes for the merchants of the Murkhan Principality prepared for us, we passed the interrogation smoothly. Of course, our strange combination of a man, two women and a horse still attracted frequent glances from everyone, especially the two stunning beauties in it made all the people who passed by us stop and star, and at the same time cast envious glances at me. But since my appearance has been completely changed, I will not be found out who I really am.

The various post roads in the city lead to the major city gates from the west, such as cloud markets, lively restaurants, dense residences, towering buildings and magnificent royal and noble buildings, fully highlighting the prosperity and arrogance of the imperial capital.

The hub of the empire and the center of power, the Imperial Palace, is located in the center of the city, separated from the dwellings by the last wall and moat. Proust's wealthy merchants, known as 30,000 households, plus nearly 1,000 nobles, became the host of 150 million people of the Falatis's Empire, and the Emperor Nanzhan Buqi II undoubtedly stood at the top of the food chain.

Proust not only has the largest chamber of commerce and various professional unions in the southern continent, but also has nearly 100 complete academies, including the Buchanan Royal Academy, which specializes in cultivating the children of royalty and nobility, the Renteo Military Academy, which trains military commanders, and the Knights, Swordsmen, and Magic Academies that train various combat talents. The magic academy that existed long before the founding of the Ferrati Kingdom is not only one of the most famous magic schools, it has cultivated countless magical talents for the mainland, but also a symbol of human magical civilization, and its status is incomparable to other academies, and all magicians on the continent are proud to be able to enter this academy.

In the middle of winter, the splendid buildings of the Falatiss Empire are stained with snow, adding a touch of silver, like a noble lady who has washed away the lead. The streets and alleys of the city are also paved with a thick layer of snow, but in the snow shadows, you can still see the posture of the nobles in fresh clothes and angry horses galloping on the avenue and the pride of the merchants in brocade clothes and jade fur spending a lot of money, and the excitement and glitz have not been reduced by the weather at all.

We left a unique mark on the street corner and settled in a regular hotel.

At noon, Luo Bai appeared in front of me, bringing some obscure information, and also brought the situation of the imperial capital to me.

Luo Bai was stunned when he saw the strange me, but when he found the familiar Vivien and Gartha Liuli, the clever thief immediately understood that he was also present when the elf queen gave him "Xiang Rong".

When I got to the room, I took off the "Xiangrong" and said to Luo Bai: "You have done a great job in the past two years!" Far more than I could have expected from you! ”

Luo Bai knelt down to me and said, "Your Majesty, I want to make you old!" If it weren't for your old friend's ability to steal, I wouldn't be able to play a role. ”

Gasha Liuli and Vivian couldn't help but laugh when they heard Luo Bai's serious but strange words, and I also laughed and scolded: "Get up and speak, Luo Bai!" Why are you old, you are old, you are old! I'm still so young! It's been two years, and you've been an intelligence chief, and you don't seem to have made much progress! ”

Luo Bai stood up very obediently, and after everyone sat down around the table, he said, "Your Majesty is good to me, and of course I am good to me." 'You old' is an honorific, Your Majesty doesn't like it, so I won't shout like that. In my heart, Your Majesty is the rebirth of parents, I dare not forget Your Majesty's kindness for a moment, my character is like this, there is kindness must be repaid, but there is also revenge must be revenge, for those who are sorry for me, such as those who plundered the treasures I worked so hard to steal, I must take revenge fiercely, steal them and leave them with nothing left......"

Garsha Ruri glared at him fiercely and said, "You have itchy skin?" Didn't you learn enough lessons last time in the Elven Kingdom? ”

Luo Bai couldn't help but swallow back what he was going to say, swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, and said a little unwillingly: "I ...... I'm not afraid you'll beat me! I also have my own insistence...... According to the Code of Thieves, what is taken by someone is to be taken back twice as much......"

"This is the Thief's Rules......" Garsha Liuli muttered, looked at me, softened her voice and said, "It's okay for me to ask my mother to give you all the things she took from you?" ”

Seeing Luo Bai shaking her head silently, Garsha Liuli seemed to want to get angry again, it was not easy for this hot beauty to maintain her gentle and graceful appearance.

"Don't make a fuss! Luo Bai, Garsha Liuli, let's talk about business! I stopped the crazy beauty and the eccentric thief from continuing the topic of unnutritious, and Zhengrong said, "Luo Bai, what is the situation in the imperial capital recently? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Bai said with a solemn expression, "The situation in the imperial capital has been quite strange recently......

"Weird?" We couldn't help but be amazed.

Luo Bai nodded and continued, "Yes...... Ever since it was rumored that the marriage between Grand Duke Libinglan and the second prince of Aruton had been ruin, the atmosphere in the imperial capital had been very tense like a tense string. First of all, the duties of the four city guards changed hands one after another, and then the knights of the 'Silver Silk' who had entered the city were confined to the camp north of the city, several of the main generals of the regiment were denied entry into the military headquarters of the imperial city, and General Leigh never appeared in front of her men after the news of her marriage, and the sixth prince James who won the great victory of Meinster was not reused by the emperor as expected, and even General Tsykov was imprisoned for causing heavy casualties to the Imperial army due to poor command. And according to the news I heard, since Li Binglan entered the capital, the second prince Aruton and the fourth princess Ettiria have been very close, and the two sides have frequent interactions, but after the news of the marriage came out, the enthusiasm that was once ignited between the two seems to have cooled down again. In addition, according to sources, the emperor's condition seems to have shown signs of further deterioration since the beginning of winter, and he rarely participates in court meetings. ”

I pondered for a while and said, "Nanzhan Buqi II can no longer control the situation in the imperial capital, and it seems that the emperor may not survive this winter...... It seems that Aruton and Attiria had made a deal in private, and the two forces were in a tendency to converge...... But what is their rationale for cooperating in such situations? As the most powerful and promising prince and princess to win the throne, it should be right to fight to the death at this time? There's no reason to be together! Unless they have a strong enemy to deal with in common...... But who has the strength to compete with them at the moment? James? It couldn't be ......."

Suddenly, I had a bold idea: the person they needed to unite against was probably their father, Nam Cham Buqi II! In other words, the emperor's preferred heir should not be them but James, and Li Binglan's entry into the capital made them all feel a common threat...... However, with the intelligence of Zhan Buqi, how could he not know that James was Adou who could not be supported, but did not care about the eloquent Aruton and the shrewd and capable Ettiria? Are you really sick and confused...... If he really intended for James to inherit the throne, why did he choose to deliberately suppress him at this time? Could it be that Nan Zhan Buqi saw that Aruton and Ettiria were powerful, and intended to use this way to defend James? And the news that the imperial capital is marrying Aruton at this sensitive time, will it be a strategy adopted to divide the two families? If so, the results that the emperor wants have been obtained...... If this was the emperor's true intention, why did he deprive Li Binglan of his military power at this time? The 100,000 army of "Yinying" is the heaviest reward in the emperor's hand...... The situation is strange and difficult to understand, and the lack of information is difficult to judge, but one thing is certain - Li Binglan has lost the ability to be autonomous!

Thinking of this, I had already made a secret decision in my heart, and said to the three of them: "Now is the time to meet James!" Let's blow the hot desert wind into the icy imperial capital! ”

※※※

Two days later, on a snowy morning, I came alone to the courtyard of the sixth prince in the east of the city, according to the news I received from Luo Bai, James had lived in the courtyard in the east of the city since he had been reprimanded in the capital, and had never entered the imperial city again.

"Who's coming? This is a royal land, if you accidentally enter, please return quickly! Otherwise, shoot and kill! ”

As I approached James' mansion, I was quickly surrounded by more than a dozen royal guards who came up from all around, and the long sword was drawn with a "swish", and the tip of the sword pointed at me from afar.

"I have something important to report to His Royal Highness!"

I said lightly, standing in the wind and snow, my demeanor was calm, and I didn't frown in the sword bush, nor did I deliberately guard against it.

"Quickly report your name, identity, origin, and purpose!" The first golden-armored warrior seemed to be bent by my bearing, and ordered the guards to put away their long swords, but they were still on guard, and their eyes were tightly on my body.

"Excuse me to report to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the messenger of the desert will bring information about the deceased." I replied with a nonchalant smile.

Although the golden-armored warrior had doubts on his face, he quickly ordered someone to spread the news inside.

After a while, a deacon in brocade clothes came out from the golden lacquer gate of the courtyard, waved his hands at me and said, "Your Highness, please invite the envoy to enter for a while." ”

As soon as I entered the courtyard, the smell of spring came to my face, and the smell of flowers and grass made people forget that this was a harsh winter full of ice and snow, and it was suspected that spring had arrived early.

Clusters of four-season flowers, delicate fountains with hollow patterns, small white bridges over small streams, winding verandahs surrounded by green vines, and kingfisher birds flying in the air with long cyan tails......

Everything in the courtyard reminds me of Kalisa's home in Haynes, where everything was designed according to everything there – it must have been arranged according to Kalisa's heart, right? to dispel homesickness......

The scene in front of me also gave me a faint sense of homesickness: I wonder what has become of Haynes now? Is it still what I used to be familiar with...... I remember when I was a child, Kalisa, Sanwen, Van Dijk, and Shiloh used to play in the courtyard of Kalisa's house, catching dragonflies, fighting crickets, and digging earthworms...... Yesterday's everything, now it is a matter of right and wrong, as if it was a different world, what has happened, those carefree days, as if they have never existed...... Sanwen, Van Dijk, and Shiloe, the playmates of my youth, have been separated from me for four years before I know it, and now they are still struggling to realize their dreams? I believe they have all grown into heroic men, right? And Kalisa, who always cried because of my pranks when she was a child, has long been married and has become a princess, how is she doing now......

In the intermittent thoughts, I unconsciously entered the hall, and entered the splendid hall from the scenery of the small bridge and flowing water, and I was a little uncomfortable for a while, as if I suddenly entered the space belonging to Kalisa into the space belonging to James, and there was also a feeling of being forcibly withdrawn from the dream back to reality.

Standing in the main hall, Prince James VI was dressed in gorgeous and elaborate royal clothes, and looked much more energetic than when he was in Mainster, but his handsome face still could not hide a certain anxiety and uneasiness.

"Emissary of Meinster? Do you have any information? Also, when will your king arrive in the imperial capital? "Before I could speak, James was already in a hurry to ask me.

"My king asked me to say hello to His Highness, and after a three-month farewell, my king is very concerned about His Highness." A voice belonging to Alex echoed through the hall.

"You ......" James froze for a moment when he heard his familiar voice coming from the stranger's mouth.

"Can Your Highness retreat, I have something important to tell." I said unhurriedly.

"You're all stepping down!" James came to his senses and ordered the gold-armored warrior and the others.

"Your Highness...... Without us by your side to protect ......," the golden-armored samurai hesitated.

"No problem, Loppete! This is an acquaintance of this seat, and it will not hurt this seat...... And if he wants to hurt us, the result of your absence and absence will be the same. Step aside! James said impatiently

"Yes, Your Highness!" The gold-armored warrior known as Loppete left with Deacon Nishiki and others.

When James and I were the only ones left in the hall, I took off my "Xiangrong" and revealed a face that was both familiar and feared by James.

"Alex, it's really you...... I can't imagine that you really dare to enter the capital, and come so incredibly fast...... What is the purpose of your coming to me at this time? James asked undoubtedly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince seems to be in a difficult situation!" I replied unansweringly.

"You seem to know a lot of things...... You shouldn't have just entered the imperial capital, right? James said in amazement.

"It's true that I've just entered the imperial capital, but there are also my people in the imperial capital...... Your Highness hasn't forgotten your agreement with me, has he? I said.

"Alex, you're so pervasive...... If you are here for the benefit of the Grand Duke, please forgive me for not being able to help. As for the agreement between you and me, I can't fulfill it now! One time, another time ......"

"Isn't Your Highness afraid that I will tell Your Majesty the truth about the war?" I saw James's face change, and the conversation changed, "Of course, I won't do this...... I am indeed here for Li Binglan, and at the same time, I am also here to solve problems for His Highness! ”

"What do you mean, Alee?"

My face was solemn, and I said coldly: "Your Highness's current situation can be described as difficult and extremely dangerous, don't say that the emperor is hopeless, and his status is difficult to protect, and his life is in danger!" Under such circumstances, if Your Highness does not meet me honestly, Your Highness will undoubtedly dig your own grave and give up the last hope of turning defeat into victory! ”

"Alee, since you know everything, I won't hide it from you...... I'm out of power right now, so I can't really love you...... At present, the Grand Duke of Li is imprisoned in the Imperial Palace, and his martial arts are banned, and he is about to marry Aruton, you still have this heart for her, go back and be your king of the desert...... Moreover, even if you have the heart to help me, you are powerless. This is not a desert where you can call the wind and rain, what else can you do as a Proust who is not familiar with life? James said dejectedly.

From James's mouth, I couldn't help but feel my heart fluctuate, but I said lightly: "My love affair with Li Binglan is an open secret, and Li Binglan has a deep love for me and will not give in easily." Has Your Highness ever thought that whether or not I can get back Li Binglan will be related to the success or failure of Your Highness's safety! ”

"Alee, what do you mean......" James' tone turned eager.

I locked my eyes on James's mind and calmly analyzed: "Your Highness is a smart person, will you still not understand?" If Aruton gets the Ligelan, it means that he gets the 100,000 cavalry of the 'Silver Silk' Knights! With such an invincible world-class hero, as long as your father dies, Aruton will be equivalent to getting half of the country! Moreover, Li Binglan's marriage to Aruton will have an extremely far-reaching impact on the military! What is particularly critical is that in the currently blockaded imperial capital, the 'Silver Ying' cavalry regiment that has been stationed in the city is undoubtedly the most powerful military force that can influence the political situation in the imperial capital! Among the three, His Royal Highness is the weakest, and he will also be the first target of Arutun's elimination, so that Aruton has the imperial capital and controls the military department, and at that time, His Royal Highness will not say that he will compete with him for the crown, and he will not even have a chance to leave the imperial capital!

"And my arrival has won a glimmer of life for His Highness! Only I can put Li Binglan on His Highness's side! Only by rescuing Li Binglan and getting the support of the 'Silver Silk' Knights can His Royal Highness fight against the second prince! My cooperation with His Highness will have two benefits, and two disadvantages if I divide it! In me, this is a war in the love field with the second prince, and in you, this is a war in the political field with the second prince! Whether it's for you or me, rescuing Li Binglan is a top priority! ”

"How can I believe that after helping you get the Grand Duke of Li, you will help me to seize the throne? How can you guarantee that Grand Duke Li will still be willing to follow you without hesitating to give up the throne of the queen in front of you? Even if Grand Duke Li was willing to do this, she had no reason to help me fight against my second brother and fourth sister...... "Although James's face was moved, as if he had been moved by what I said, he still couldn't dispel his doubts.

I smiled faintly and said, "If Li Binglan wasn't for me, why didn't she want to marry the second prince?" Why did your father and the second prince have to go to great lengths to put them under house arrest? There are all kinds of signs that Li Binglan is still looking for me! Liebinglan is loyal to the Empire, her Majesty the Emperor, and as long as Your Majesty dies, she has no reason to lean towards Aruton or Ettiria! Besides, as long as I stand on His Highness's side, it is self-evident what she chooses among the three families. And I have a love and hatred with Aruton, and I have accumulated a lot of accumulation with Ettiria, in this case, even if it is not for anything else, just for myself, I can only stand by your side and do my best to help you seize the throne and win the world!

"And take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Your Highness thinks that I and Li Binglan are not trustworthy in helping you, it will at least shake the situation of Arutun's control of the imperial capital and win a respite for Your Highness. Only by preventing the second prince from combining with Li Binglan will His Highness have a chance to reverse the disadvantage. In short, let me regain my beloved, and it will be beneficial to His Highness without any harm! Please also ask Your Highness to see the situation clearly, make a decisive decision, and the opportunity is fleeting! In any case, Your Highness can only bet on my friendship with Li Binglan, and if you lose the bet, no matter how dangerous Your Highness is, he will only have nothing and blood stain the Imperial City as he does now; If you win the bet, Your Highness will ascend to the top and dominate the world! At that time, it will be the second prince and the fourth princess who are worried about their lives! Your Highness should not hesitate any longer at this time! You have no choice but to help me with all your might! ”

"As you say, Alec, I have no choice...... If you don't want to gamble, you have to gamble...... And I really don't want to be your enemy again...... That horrible experience is enough once......"

James finally agreed to my request, and the treacherous situation forced him to take a desperate gamble.

"As long as Your Highness can sincerely cooperate with me, I believe that this matter is promising! I hope to have a deeper understanding of the current situation in the imperial capital so that I can make the next deployment. I said in a confident tone.

After making up his mind, James seemed much calmer, and explained the situation in the imperial capital in detail: "Due to the rapid deterioration of my father's condition since the beginning of the summer, my second brother and fourth sister and I couldn't help but seek countermeasures.

"Later, the second brother and the fourth sister seem to have reached an agreement to deal with the father and Li Binglan together, if the strong strength of the second brother and the fourth sister is united, they will control half of the regular army of the empire militarily alone, and even the father can't sit still! As a last resort, he summoned the Grand Duke of Li into the imperial palace, and let the ambushed Grand Demon Master Pochettino suddenly attack her, restrained the Grand Duke of Li, and put her under house arrest in the palace, and then the father released the news that he intended to let the Grand Duke of Li marry his second brother. Originally, his father's original intention was to use this news to divide the second brother and the fourth sister, he knew that the eldest prince of Li had a strong temperament, and with her personality, he would definitely rather die than obey, even if it was false information, he would not compromise, and he was unwilling to do anything to be sorry for you or hurt you, so he put her under house arrest temporarily. This strategy of the father also had a corresponding effect.

"But my father still miscalculated, I didn't expect that the archmage Pochettino had secretly surrendered to the second brother! Pochettino imposed a special ban on the Grand Duke of Leigh, causing the Grand Duke to lose all his martial arts and magical abilities, and become an ordinary weak woman, who was truly imprisoned in the imperial palace and lost contact with the outside world.

"With the help of Bocellino, the second brother has taken full control of the imperial palace, and even his father is under his control. Because the military system of the empire is quite strict, unless the emperor instructs, except for the prince and the princess who have granted military power, and the leading generals at the level of generals, other generals are not allowed to move the army at will, otherwise they will be regarded as complicity in rebellion. ”

The situation is much more dire than imagined! Hearing this, my heart felt like a heavy lead block, and I was a little breathless, but I didn't reveal my mind, and still calmly asked, "What are the powers that Your Highness can use in your hands?" ”

James sighed heavily and replied: "The second brother didn't know how to obtain his father's edict and removed the four major city guards at once, which caught me off guard, and even the 20,000 city defense troops in my hand have changed hands...... The second brother did this, obviously to deal with me...... At present, in addition to my own 7,000 royal guards, only the royal guards in the hands of the fifth brother and the seventh sister can be used, but the total strength is less than 15,000 people, and now the second brother has 50,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 city defense troops in his hands, and the fourth sister also has 50,000 troops of the 'Imperial Tiger' legion that was transferred to the imperial capital before, so I don't want to say that the strength of the second brother is far from even the fourth sister, so I can't do it if I want to break out ......of the imperial capital now."

It seems that James has really become Aruton's primary target, and perhaps Aruton also believes that James is the true heir of Nanzhan Buqi II, so he quickly drained James's power. I pondered for a while, and then said categorically: "Your Highness, the current situation is critical, and whether or not we can rescue Li Binglan will be the key to the success or failure of you and me!" Please ask His Highness to use all the channels at his disposal to find out the exact location of Li Binglan's current captivity, while I will try my best to get in touch with the 'Silver Ying' Knights, and as soon as I know Li Binglan's whereabouts, you and I will concentrate the power in our hands to strike a thunderous blow!" If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! It's a big deal to hit a fish and die in the net! ”

"It's a big deal, hit a fish and die in the net...... Now what else do I have to lose? What else can't afford to lose? Alex, do what you planned! James said resolutely, finally bursting with the courage to fight in a desperate situation, trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.

Once we had agreed on the specific deployment and communication methods, I took my farewell to James.

James said: "Another day, you can meet my fifth brother and seventh sister, although the seventh sister has a quirky personality, but she is smart and clever, and often has good ideas...... And Kalisa, she misses Haynes' home very much, and she really wants to see her former friends, but unfortunately she went back to her parents' house today, and she won't be back until later, and she missed it with you. If you let her see you, she will definitely be happy, and she will be relieved of her homesickness......"

I don't know how true James is that he said that Kalisa has returned to her parents' home, but maybe it was just an excuse to stop me from asking about Kalisa and asking to meet, because having my wife meet her old fiancé is something that even a man can't take lightly. But what I can be sure of is that James's psychology in the face of me is quite contradictory and complicated, on the one hand, because of the Kalisa incident, he must have a grudge against me, and on the other hand, the fiasco at Mainster has made him have a deep fear of me, a strong awareness of the invincible power, and now, he has to rely on my help to let his rival help him through the crisis.

I responded to James's words without any pain, and then put on my "Look" and walked out of the hall, through the verandah and garden, to the door.

But when I was about to reach the gate, a group of attendants came in from outside the door, surrounded by a beautiful and noble lady: long honey-colored hair was coiled up and thinned into a palace dress, and her delicate facial features were matched with a fair goose-egg face, and she was dressed in the dress of a noble woman of the Pharadis Empire, which set off her extremely noble, mature and elegant.

She's Kalisa! It's changed a lot from before, and it's no longer a young beautiful girl, but a mature lady! Unexpectedly, I met unexpectedly...... But she couldn't recognize me anymore, and I couldn't recognize me......

Even if you don't know each other, that's probably the way it is, right? The so-called close to the end of the world, this kind of sad episode in a love story, I can't imagine that it will happen to me alive......

I stepped aside, silently out of the way, letting them pass me, and when they had passed, walked back to the door.

"Sir, please stay!"

Khalisa's voice drifted to my ears, and my shoulders shook slightly, and I involuntarily turned in the direction of the sound.
