Maybe it was because of the touching of the scene, for a while, the three of them were a little silent.

After a long time, seeing this atmosphere, Philip broke the silence and said: "I also know, no, as soon as I received the secret letter from you, I directly asked for help?" ”

Freya stood behind the baron and listened to the conversation between the three of them, which could be regarded as sorting out the relationship between the three of them.

It turned out that this Count Philip was a comrade-in-arms who had been on the battlefield with Baron and Howard, and the Baron had saved him on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that the person he saved casually was actually the son of a great nobleman.

Out of the grace of saving the baron's life, Philip asked the baron to teach him swordsmanship for a period of time, calling the baron a teacher, and after the war, Philip originally wanted the baron to return to the imperial capital with him, but was refused, so far it is a big pity for Philip.

The three of them talked and laughed, and at the invitation of the baron, several of them entered the castle.

As a junior, Freya stood in the back and couldn't interject at all, until she used a reason to leave.

On the way back to the bedroom, Freya frowned slightly, because although the three of them were talking, she still noticed that Count Philip's gaze crossed her from time to time as she spoke, and there was a complicated emotion in her eyes.

And for the contours of Philip's face, Freya felt a slight taste of déjà vu.

Searching through her memories, she found that there was nothing about the man at all.

"Maybe it's something else." Shaking her head, Freya pushed open the door to her bedroom.

Putting the book back on his desk, he looked into the distance, and not far from the castle, tents made of brown canvas were rapidly erected, and around the tents were soldiers cutting down nearby trees and lining them up to form a row of rudimentary wooden walls.

Her eyes looked at this lively scene, and she was thinking in her heart.

If Philip is an acquaintance, then for this war, the impact of Green's territory may be much smaller, after all, from his attitude towards the baron, he is very respectful.

And because Saladin and Byron were separated by a forest, even if there were soldiers, it was impossible to have a large army, and the empire also thought of this and sent an army of 2,000 men to suppress it.

If this time is over, then Berta's side will definitely be defeated, and the consequences can be imagined.

Things may be turning for the better, and if I guess correctly, the war will be in the next day or two.

However, things are often not as Freya guesses.

On the first day after his arrival, Philip gave the whole army a day of relaxation on the grounds that the soldiers needed to rest.

On the second and third days, Philip still did not make up his intention to go to Berta's territory, which made the baron, including the entire smart people of Grimm Castle, feel incredible.

At the request of Philip, the iron mine withdrew all the original guards to the castle......

Green Castle is used to entertain guests in the living room.

The baron's face was a little ugly, and he looked at Count Philip, who was sitting in front of him comfortably sipping mint tea, a specialty of Grimm's territory.

This kind of comfortable expression, as if you are not here for war but for tourism.

"Philip, what do you mean!?" The baron finally couldn't help but ask the man in front of him in a low voice.

In his memory, Philip was a simple and strong young man and admired him very much, but he didn't expect that in just ten years, the person in front of him would become a different person.

"Teacher, you also know how far the imperial capital is from Grimm Castle, I just want the soldiers to have a good rest." Philip said indifferently.

"Just resting?" The baron looked at Philip incredulously, he didn't expect him to prevaricate him with such an obvious reason, you must know that the daily consumption of food and necessities for two thousand soldiers is borne by Castle Green, and in just three days, almost half of the castle's stock has been eaten.

The baron's shocked face showed a hint of disbelief, and he quickly thought of a possibility.

"Then you're deliberately delaying time!?"

"Procrastinating?" Philip frowned slightly, and his originally comfortable expression showed a hint of anger, "Teacher, are you questioning my decision?" Or do you think that I am disobeying the instructions given to me by the Empire, and if it is necessary to take you to court-martial on this sentence alone. ”

"......" looked at Philip, whose face changed suddenly, and the baron was silent.

Remembering that when he first saw Philip, the sense of familiarity made him feel as if the man in front of him was deliberately disguised, and he originally thought that the baron would be easy to handle, but he didn't expect it to become like this.

Philip stood up from his seat, walked over to the baron, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed slightly.

"Don't worry, teacher, the reason why I didn't send troops for a long time is that I am waiting for an opportunity, a chance to uproot both Bertha and Saladin's soldiers, and I am not the same me I used to be, I have also stepped into the ranks of the strong, I can be compared with you."

Philip's words made the baron look up in surprise.

"You mean, you've been..."

"That's right, I've broken through my shackles." Philip's face changed to a smile again, "Also, tomorrow night I plan to borrow your castle to entertain you, as a slack that I have not informed you for the past few days." ”

Without waiting for the baron's answer, Philip walked straight out of the living room.

As soon as Philip left, Howard walked in, looked at the baron standing in place with a gloomy face, and frowned slightly.

"What's going on?"

The baron looked at the shoulder that had been patted by Philip, and although it seemed to be a gentle pat, it made the baron feel a blow no less than his own strength.

"I didn't expect him to become a knight," the baron muttered to himself, and then he turned to Howard seriously.

"Maybe he's hiding it well, but Philip is no longer the Philip we used to know, and his current approach may have deviated from what we predicted, and I don't know what he wants to do, but it's undoubtedly a catastrophe for Grimm's territory... It's time to do some back-up. ”

"......" Howard looked at the baron's serious expression, he had known him for many years and already understood the meaning of the baron's words, without words, he nodded heavily and turned to leave.

Quietly watching Howard leave, the baron's eyes glistened with a complicated look.

Although Philip gave him a vague reason, the years of the city government gave him a vague feeling that things were completely different from what he had imagined.

On the other side of this conversation, Freya, who had been concentrating on adapting to her own strength, also sensed that something was very wrong.

Perhaps as an outsider, she thought more comprehensively than the baron, and on the second day of the soldier's rest, she inexplicably asked her servants to inquire about the deeds of Count Philip.

Through the scattered information, she gradually wisped out a very crucial thing, that is... Count Philip's family background seems to have a very subtle connection with the Berta family.

This terrible clue made Freya gradually have a glimmer of enlightenment.

Just as she was about to tell Baron Sù about the clue, the bedroom door suddenly remembered.

'Knock knock'

"Who is it?" Freya frowned.
