As Draenor pushed open the door and left, a late-night cold snap swept in through the door, and the blade couldn't help but shiver slightly.

He didn't delve into why Draenor and Hughes had become all the way. Of course, he didn't fully believe what Draenor said, but he knew that there was no wind and no waves. He could feel that the entire castle of Blackson had been enveloped in a turbulent atmosphere lately due to the overwhelming Byzantine Empire.

What if everything Draenor said was true? As soon as this thought flashed through Blade's mind, he couldn't help but feel empty and sad in his heart, and the feeling of being abandoned was like this?

Just as Draenor came to visit Blade, a figure quietly jumped from the top of Blackson Castle. As soon as the figure's feet touched the ground, it immediately flew and quickly disappeared on the road to the camp of the Byzantine Empire's bandit army more than ten kilometers away.

The camp of the Byzantine Empire's bandit army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, was lit with candles.

"Miss Paris, this is Hughes, the deputy leader of the 'Nightblade Leopard' bandit group!" "The commander of the bandit army, the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion of the Byzantine Empire, Lieutenant General Rudy, is introducing a middle-aged man to a noble and elegant girl in the big tent.

The girl* gracefully stretched out her slender jade hand, which was as white as jade, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Hughes!"

"You...... Hello. Hughes hesitantly stretched out his right hand and shook it lightly with the girl, wondering in his heart what the identity of the girl named Paris was.

When Hughes first met Paris, he was a little unimpressed. Although he was amazed by Paris's outstanding beauty, he preconceived in his heart that this woman was Lieutenant General Rudy's lover, thinking that she was just a camp prostitute hidden by Lieutenant General Rudy in the military camp to solve the lonely night on this expedition against bandits.

However, he could not help but be surprised when he saw the dignified lieutenant general behaving respectfully in front of Paris.

"What the hell is she?" Hughes let go of the hand he was holding with Paris, and though his mind was full of questions, he did not ask.

After shaking hands with Hughes, Paris did not say anything more, but quietly sat down on a sandalwood chair in the middle of the tent, poured a glass of red wine, and tasted it gracefully.

Rudy coughed lightly and turned to the main topic of tonight's conversation.

"Hughes, how are things going?"

"Lord Qiqi, everything is going well!"

"Hmm, how many centaurs can you control?"

"At least half of the brothers in the regiment are willing to follow me!"

Rudy nodded and said, "Very good, after the matter is completed, you and your subordinates will be integrated into my army!

"Master Xie, the little one must serve the adult wholeheartedly, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate to repay the kindness of the adult. Hearing Rudy's promise, Hughes's face turned happy, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and swore allegiance.

"Alright, let's get up first!"

After Hughes got up from the ground, Rudy suddenly sighed with emotion: "It's a pity for Stephanie, she can be regarded as a heroine, I wanted her to work for the court several times, but she refused." Alas, I don't even know what she thinks, and she would rather be a thief who robs everywhere than an officer and soldier who eats the emperor's rations, which is really unreasonable! Usually, for the sake of her actions not going too far, our Fifth Legion has always turned a blind eye to the 'Nightblade Leopard' and does not want to make a big move. However, this time the 'Night Blade Leopard' has caused a big disaster, and if you don't take her, you really can't explain it to the top!"

Hearing Rudy mention Stephanie, Hughes had a look on his face, as if he still felt a little guilty about betraying Stephanie. However, when he thought of his bright and lofty future in the future, the guilt in Hughes's heart quickly disappeared.

He said righteously: "Your Excellency is kind-hearted, and you have repeatedly courteously courteous corporals, and you want to recruit us' Nightblade Leopard', but Stephanie always doesn't know how to raise her up, and she has rejected the kindness of your lord several times, and the brothers have seen it. If you can have a stable life of eating the emperor's food, who wants to live this day of licking blood from the knife edge? Stephanie was angry, but she didn't know that she was doing it herself!"

"Hehe, Hughes, I didn't expect you to be quite good at talking with one mouth!"

"Lord Xie praises, the little one is just stating a fact!"

"By the way, Hughes, I heard that your 'Nightblade Leopard' recently came to an orc, who is very skilled, and is a ninth-level powerhouse! This time Miss Robonia fell into his hands, and it was he who injured the two high-ranking knights of the Heywood family! What is his origin? Do you know?" Rudy suddenly changed his words and asked Hughes. sweet potato

"This, the little one doesn't know very well, only that he was seriously injured, and it was Stephanie who rescued him. Later, after he recovered from his injuries, he stayed in the regiment to serve. Hughes replied.

"Oh, that's right, since Stephanie has a life-saving grace for him, and there is such a master, are you really sure that you can deal with Stephanie?" Rudy asked quietly after hearing Hughes's words.

Hughes smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured. Maybe tomorrow the orc will turn against Stephanie first. ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Rudy with interest.

Miss Robonia hated the orc and asked Stephanie to leave the orc at her disposal, and Stephanie agreed to Miss Robnia's request and began to arrange for the orc to be taken. And the little one also sent someone to tell the orc the news privately, but changed his words slightly, not to say that he would be handed over to Miss Robnia to deal with, but that he and everyone who participated in the kidnapping of Miss Robonia that day would be handed over directly to the government. “

"Why do you want to change your words?" Rudy became more interested.

"Miss Robonia is a noble nobleman and a devout Holy Catholic, and even if that orc fell into her hands, she would not have taken the orc's life and stained her holy hands with filthy blood. She asked Stephanie to hand over the orc to her to dispose of, and she just wanted the orc to suffer some hardships and vent her evil anger of being captured! The difference between that, I don't think the orc won't understand!" replied Hughes.

"Would a savage, uncivilized orc want to get so much? I'm afraid you're doing it too much, right?" Rudy said disapprovingly.

"My lord, this orc is by no means one of those stupid orcs with well-developed limbs and simple minds, he is very scheming and cunning. Otherwise, in terms of force alone, he would not have been able to kidnap Miss Robonia in the hands of a dozen high-ranking knights, right?" Hughes said.

"Well, that's true! Especially among the dozen or so high-ranking knights, there are also ninth-level powerhouses!" Rudy said with a smile, and he looked at Hughes with a bit of approval in his eyes: "Yes, do things with foresight and thoughtfulness. Hughes, good work, I'm optimistic about you!"

"The adults have praised it falsely, and it is a blessing for the little ones to be cultivated in this life to have a master like the adults follow! The little ones must be sworn to the death!" Hughes wasted no time in flattering.

"Well, it's not too early. Hughes, go back early, but don't let the people at Blackson Castle find out you're missing. Rudy patted Hughes on the shoulder.

"Yes, the little ones will retire first. Hughes bowed to Rudy and withdrew from the Chinese tent, and at the moment of exiting the tent, he did not forget to sneak a glance at the mysterious girl named Paris in the tent.

After Hughes was gone, Paris, who was sitting on the side and sipping red wine elegantly, gently put down the empty wine glass in her hand, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face: "This Hughes is a talent! It's a pity! Hehe, Stephanie...... Hughes...... , this time there are so many people to accompany Ravnia to the funeral, I think I, a good sister who has played since childhood, should not feel lonely on the way to the underworld!"

Paris's voice was so soft and pleasant, so beautiful, but the words she said made an iron-blooded soldier like Rudy shudder slightly.

Rudy opened his mouth, as if to say something, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.

Seeing Rudy's hesitant and undecided look, Paris smiled again and said, "Uncle Rudy, do you have anything you want to say? If you want to say it, then say it." Holding the words in your heart is not good for your body!"

After hearing Paris's words, Rudy finally made up his mind, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Miss Paris, I want to know, is the decision to get rid of Miss Robonia really made by your father, His Excellency Marshal Hilleman?"

"Of course. Paris opened another bottle of red wine, poured it into the previous glass, then picked it up, shook it gently, and said, "Why, Uncle Rudy, do you suspect that I am falsely spreading my father's decision?"

"Honorable Miss Paris, of course I dare not doubt you. However, this decision is really crazy. Although the soldiers of our faction are on the same page as the Heywood family, even if they want to fight the Heywood family, they don't need to do anything like getting rid of Miss Robonia! If the East Window incident happens, what will be the consequences of this matter, His Excellency Marshal, he won't know it, right?" said Rudy with a serious face.

"Are you questioning my father's decision?" Paris said lightly, taking a sip of red wine.

"No! I, Rudy, would never question any decision of His Excellency the Marshal! Without His Excellency the Marshal, I would not be where Rudy is today. You must know that my life was picked up by His Excellency the Marshal on the battlefield, and my life has already been handed over to His Excellency the Marshal. I will obey absolutely and unconditionally any decision made by His Excellency the Marshal. ”

"Hehe, Uncle Rudy, after talking for a long time, you still suspect that I have lied about my father's decision. ”

"I ...... Rudy wanted to deny it, but found that he could no longer find any other words to deny what he was really thinking.

He was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Miss Paris, with all due respect, with the wisdom of His Excellency the Marshal, I do not believe that he would make such an irrational decision!"

Rudy still didn't answer Paris directly, but his insinuation was already obvious.
