The first spring rain in Portland came and went in a hurry.

The next day, the sun was shining and the weather was clear, and the city of Portland didn't look like it was going to rain at all. However, the puddles on the roads in the city that had been formed by the rain last night showed no signs of drying up for a while.

When Blade returned to the 'Fragrance of Fragrance' tavern last night, Landuri and the others had already finished reviewing the map of Portland's northern district, but everyone had not yet fallen asleep, but sat around a table with Carter, the owner of the 'Fragrance of Fragrance', waiting for Blade's return. After seeing the blade return safely, everyone immediately stepped forward and asked if the blade had found anything there. Blade gave a brief account of what had happened in the alley, and everyone was taken aback when they heard that an injured demon had appeared in Portland.

Of course, everyone didn't know why there were demons in Portland City, and after discussing for a long time and not coming to a result, they didn't care anymore. After all, compared to the plan and mission of Blade to lead the team to infiltrate Portland City this time, the appearance of the demon clan is just a small episode.

Carter, who is an intelligence officer of the Beamon Empire, is more concerned about this for professional reasons, and he later arranged for his subordinates to investigate the ins and outs of the appearance of demons in Portland, but in the end nothing was found.

On this day, Blade summoned Carter into the dark room of the tavern where he was staying, and then took out the Thunder Fire Bead he had obtained from Merlin Inz and handed it to Carter.

"Chief Blade, ...... you?" Carter glanced at Blade quizzically.

"This is what I got from that demon girl last night, and if I'm not mistaken, this should be the 'Thunder Fire Bead' made by the dwarves. This item is extremely precious and difficult to flow out of the dwarves, I know that your intelligence officers have a complete set of methods for delivering objects, and you want to have this item sent to Orgrimmar, the royal city of our Beamon Empire, to see if the alchemists in the royal city can analyze the specific composition and refining method of this object. If the Empire can make a large number of copies of the 'Thunder Fire Bead', then the Empire's military power will be raised to a new level. Blade said slowly.

"Yes, Xia Guan understands. "Carter reached out and took the 'Thunder Fire Orb'.

The blade waved his hand to make Carter retreat, but when he saw that Carter had just turned around and taken two steps, he suddenly turned around again, and couldn't help but wonder: "What, do you have anything else?"

"It doesn't matter, I almost forgot about it just now. The Blade Chief, the Lower Officer, got the news that Baron Jack, the grandson of Grand Duke Winston, was coming to Portland City in two days. Carter gave a message that he had only received.

"Baron Jack?, a member of the Winston family?" Blade had heard of several powerful figures and famous families in the Byzantine Empire, and knew that this Grand Duke of Winston was powerful and had a high status in the Byzantine Empire. His family was particularly powerful, and it is said that among the many powerful families in the Byzantine Empire, the Winston family was second only to the Heywood family, known as the "House of the Gods of War".

"What is that Baron Jack doing in Portland?" Blade asked curiously.

"Hey, I heard that Baron Jack and Major General Sophia, the captain of the Tyrannosaurus Knights Brigade stationed in Portland City, are in a relationship. Baron Jack came to Portland this time, probably to visit his couple. These aristocratic sons and brothers, I really don't know what they are thinking all day long, and they talk about love and talk about the front line. Carter apparently took Baron Jack's arrival in Portland City as a piece of tidbit news for Blade.

However, when he found that Blade fell into a thoughtful look after hearing this lace news, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Couple......" A faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of Blade's mouth, and he whispered to himself: "These days, although I have thoroughly explored the military deployment and terrain of Portland City, I still have no good way to defeat the enemy. This time, the opportunity came. ”

Carter was amazed when he heard Blade's words, and he didn't know how the arrival of this Baron Jack had made Blade have a good way to break the enemy.

"Carter, when that Baron Jack arrives in Portland, you will keep a close eye on his every move, and report his whereabouts to me at all times. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands. Carter's mind was full of questions, but he did as Blade asked.

Two days later.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the official road, and a group of more than a dozen knights followed the official road to Portland, a small city on the western border of the Byzantine Empire. One of the first knights wore silver armor and rode a white horse, looking very dashing and extraordinary.

When the Silver Knight saw several Tyrannosaurus Knights officers riding velociraptors waiting at the gates of Portland City, he reached out and took off the covered helmet from his head.

A dazzling blonde hair poured out from under the helmet, and a young and handsome face appeared in front of the officers of the Tyrannosaurus Knights.

"Hello, is this Baron Jack?" a Tyrannosaurus knight officer urged the velociraptor under his seat, walked straight to the blonde knight, and politely stretched out his right hand. Nine cakes in Chinese

"Yes, I'm Jack Winston. The blonde knight smiled and stretched out his right hand, politely shaking the hand of the Tyrannosaurus Knight officer.

"I'm Hassan, General Sophia's subordinate. The General ordered a few of us to meet His Excellency the Baron here early this morning. He said that when His Excellency the Baron arrived, he would take you and your subordinates to the hotel to rest first. The general has a military meeting today, and when the meeting is over, she will come to see you. The Tyrannosaurus Knight officer said.

"Okay. You lead the way!" nodded the blonde knight.

So, a group of knights, led by Hassan and others, entered Portland City.

Portland City, General's House.

Originally, there was no general-level mansion in Portland, because the captain of the garrison brigade subordinate to the 9th Infantry Regiment stationed in Portland was only a colonel, but due to the arrival of Major General Sophia, the mansion where she lived was naturally redecorated slightly, and naturally upgraded to a general's mansion.

Sophia, a young female general with military and political power in Portland City, was leaning over a huge military sand table in the reception room of the mansion, constantly gesturing and pointing on the sand table, and discussing something intently with more than a dozen Byzantine Empire officers.

At the end of the day, the military meeting that had been going on for an afternoon in the general's palace finally came to an end. While the officers of the Tyrannosaurus Knights Brigade and the Portland Infantry Garrison Brigade said goodbye to Sophia and returned to the camp, a young and handsome blonde knight remained in the reception room, not moving half a step, just standing quietly aside, looking at the delicate back that was still contemplating in front of the sand table with pity.

And when the officers in attendance took their leave, they all did not forget to glance at Sophia and the blonde knight, and then exchanged glances with suppressed smiles on their faces, revealing a meaning that you and I all understand.

"Honey, it's not early, you better eat dinner early, your body is important. After all the officers had left, the blonde knight said softly to his sweetheart.

Sophia heard the blonde knight's words, but her body didn't move. After a while, she slowly turned around and said with a cold face: "Baron Jack, please call me Major General Sophia, such an affectionate title of 'dear' doesn't seem appropriate from your mouth, right?"

Jack's handsome face flushed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment, "Honey, I only call your ...... like this when there is no one else." ”

"Not when there is no one else, please remember, call me Major General Sophia. Sophia's tone sounded visibly unkind.

"My dear, I know you're annoyed that I haven't been in the hotel all the time, and I shouldn't have come to your house ...... out of nowhere. ”

"It's good that you know!" Jack, didn't the man I sent tell you that I had a military meeting today, and asked you to wait at the hotel first, and then I would go to see you after the meeting?

"My dear, I really want to see you! You know, I really can't sit in the hotel just now, and I can't resist the urge to see you as soon as possible at the thought of how close you and I ....... ”

Jack had just opened his mouth to explain two sentences, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sophia's barrage of words.

"Baron Jack, I think you know very well why I've come to Portland! I'm here to fight the orcs! What kind of place is this? This is the front line! You are the front line of the war! You must know that I have never promised you anything, Baron Jack! I have always regarded you as just my ordinary friend!"

Sophia has a lot of fire. And Jack obviously didn't expect his arrival to make his beloved so angry, and he suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

After a while, Jack came to his senses again.

"My dear, I know that my arrival this time is indeed a bit abrupt. However, I promise that I will in no way affect any of your work on the front lines. Also, if you really don't like me staying here, then I'll be back in Catalan City tomorrow. Don't be angry!" Jack said quickly to comfort Sophia.

"It's getting late, Jack, you should go back to the hotel and rest early!...... Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Seeing Jack's sincere and frightened appearance, Sophia's heart softened, and her tone couldn't help but relax.

"Okay, I'll go back to the hotel first, my dear, you can rest early!" Jack was afraid that he would continue to make Sophia angry if he stayed here, so he quickly got up and said goodbye, and then left the general's mansion.
