The Beaulong River, a well-known river in the Tamborance Empire, twists and turns, loops back and forth, and finally flows into the Sea of Terror from the northwest corner of the Bodi Continent, which is a river transportation artery of the Tamborance Empire and a secret processing base that Emperor Deliot has painstakingly managed since taking office. The Empire's slave servants, who were between the ages of eighteen and fifty-five, were forcibly sent to this secret camp in the Panlong River to do heavy manual labor. It stands to reason that the imperial capital is bustling with people, and there are many merchant ships on the Panlong River, so it is impossible for the secret base to be secret. But Defot was very clever, and he shaped the image of the base to the outside as a camp of the Imperial Guard, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so that others could see from afar, but never knew the details inside. Among them, the Imperial Guards are the true elite, and everyone must swear absolute allegiance to the Emperor, because loyalty to the Emperor is loyalty to the Tamborance Empire. Their welfare packages are more advantageous than those of ordinary Praetorian Guards, but the conditions are also relatively harsh. They generally worked there for about five years, during which they could not contact relatives and friends, could not marry, could not have children, and in any case all private life had to be suspended, and the whole body and mind had to be left at the control of the emperor.

The Emperor had some royal merchants, and they would secretly transport the parts of the warships they had built to the shores of the Horror Sea, where there was a frontier fortress of the Empire, and once the Emperor was ready to attack the country of Hope, these accessories could instantly assemble ships and give the island nation a deadly surprise attack.

The reason why the Duke of Loyle and General Iros had come so hurriedly to meet Diviot was because they had received a secret tip, it seemed that the homeless men in the city of Cesar were planning to attack some of the Empire's dignitaries because one of their accomplices had been murdered in the Brown Bear Tavern. Those people are heinous, and the empire has long wanted to catch them all, but the sewers in the city are complicated, and the homeless people are like water rats, jumping up and down and then disappearing completely.

The henchmen of these two emperors were mainly aimed at the four words of the brown bear tavern. The emperor knew about Albert's scratches, and the two of them also knew, and the matter of Kai Gong chopping the Standing Immortals into pulp was a good time for them to admonish and slander. Unfortunately, due to the performance of the people in the arena gladiatorial match, the emperor was too disgusted, so he only had pleasure at the death of the Standing Immortal, and he did not think of taking the opportunity to close the net and capture Albert's right-hand man. The emperor's idea at that time was to prepare for the fact that he had an illegitimate child, forcing the Duke of Delviot to hand over power. Because according to the laws of the Empire, even if Albert sits on the throne of the Duke, his descendants have no right to inherit, so that if something happens to the young man, the Principality can naturally return to the control of the Empire. His calculations were too elaborate and interlocking, and if one of the steps went wrong, what happened next was not what he expected.

The matter of dripping blood and recognizing relatives suddenly disrupted this seemingly perfect plan, and the dream of wanting to take the principality without bloodshed was also ruined. The Kentan Kingdom in the west had the handle of rebellion, but this Duke Borot really had some merits in the Northern Expedition, and the emperor suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation, and he couldn't toss for a while.

Originally, when he was campaigning against the Deseths, the emperor had already moved to kill the duke, but due to the incompetence of General Iros and others, coupled with the sudden mysterious disappearance of Marshal Cripp on the other side, the progress of the matter was once again unexpected. His move left people speechless, without any handle to grasp, and it also made him completely preserve himself to the present.

Isabella listened to it very well, her father and Duke Borot's bond had long been married, and now she even thought of using the hands of local ruffians to harm the Borot family, and the queen felt really uncomfortable.

Del T.L. understood what the two henchmen meant, and he only asked, "Are you sure?" Neither of the Duke and his son are fuel-efficient lamps, and if there is a commotion, will there be any other unexpected effects?"

"Your Majesty, they are just a bunch of sewer scoundrels, and whether they succeed or not, they have nothing to do with us. As long as the security measures are put in place, they may be able to kill two birds with one stone and get them all hooked. ”

Del Tleiot did not make any further explicit statement, which means that he acquiesced to the idea. Although Isabella is the queen, she can't interfere in this matter face to face, and she is really worried that her father and the two-faced Iros are so close.

......

If you want to attack the duke, you can't do it without the right time, place and people, even if you are the king of the sewers, you have to abide by the rules on the ground.

Sledgehammer was the main player in the matter, and the leader of the tramps sent him two shrewd and capable brothers as deputies. They first went to the Brown Bear Tavern to extract some specific information from the boss, and then surveyed the terrain near the Duke's mansion. Since all the nobles waited for the emperor's permission to do nothing after the feast, bazaars slowly formed around this temporary residence, where merchants made money and knights were happy to relax and turn the anxious wait into a shopping carnival.

The longer the emperor dragged on, the more complicated the psychology of these people became. They used to be hesitant and panicked, but now they have gradually become a bit of a broken jar and a fearless attitude.

Duke Borot was not unaware of the special danger he faced, but the emperor's method of boiling frogs in warm water was indeed difficult to completely guard against.

Now that Albert has recovered his health, the old duke's main concern now is to make the tavern waitress Cosette get better as soon as possible. Like a true father, he spent his days at his bedside, occasionally learning anecdotes about what was happening outside through Albert's mouth.

Albert was a young man who couldn't stay in the room, and although he was grateful to Cosette for saving her life, he was not pedantic and did not insist on sitting at the head of the bed to accompany her.

His Royal Highness often took Kagen and Adrian out to visit the scenic spots in the imperial capital of Xiza City these days. He walked around the drama theater and the beacon tower, and even went to the big library again. He heeded his father's advice and procured some dresses from the bazaar that were suitable for young girls, so that Cosette could surprise her when she woke up.

Albert's whereabouts fluctuate from day to day, but they are mostly seen during those few hours. Sledgehammer and his two henchmen slowly figured out the pattern in the shadows, and decided to wait for an opportunity to start attacking.

Coincidentally, there is a sewer entrance diagonally opposite the temporary residence of Duke Borot, which is so dark and greasy that ordinary people feel dirty even when they look at it, but in the minds of Sledgehammer and a few others, this is a key winner or loser.

This place can be attacked, retreated or defended, and you can give full play to your own advantages, regardless of the success or failure of your actions, you can disappear from here in an instant.

There are no masters of archery among the vagabonds, and this is the only drawback. Sledgehammer took the lead and decided to fight hand-to-hand and hack a few to death.

The sun was blazing hot, and Albert was still on time to take Cagong and Adrian out for a walk, as he had been a few days before. The bazaar was crowded with people, unaffected by the scorching sun. After all, it's a pleasure to be picky when shopping, and bosses don't refuse to do good things about stuffing their pockets with coins.

Kagan was in a particularly good mood that day, shaking his five-short figure all the way, humming a little tune behind Albert that no one understood and didn't want to understand.

Adrian guarded Albert meticulously as usual, and he didn't have a special liking for the bustle of the market. He was a prisoner who had been forced to do hard labor for ten years, and he had long since rejected the prosperity of human civilization from his heart.

The two shrewd fellows under Sledgehammer saw the right moment and fell headlong on Albert, they cried and shouted for their mother, their voices were deafening, and the exaggerated body movements and body language of the two men immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the market. They shouted loudly: "Oh hey, why don't you have long eyes when you walk, we are two poor people who have no one to rely on to eat, and you don't give us anything to eat, so why did you hit us for no reason? Your strength is still so great, and your chest is suffocated! I'm afraid that this old problem of asthma will be committed again!"

Albert still felt a little inexplicable for a while, he walked there well, obviously these two people deliberately bumped into each other's arms, how did it become his own fault.

Kagen was in high spirits behind him, and he threatened the two ruffians: "Hey, hey, hey, do you know who he is, and I will scare you to death if I say it! If you can meet him, you will be considered lucky for eight lifetimes!"

"We don't care who you are, what eight lifetimes of good luck, I think it's eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

"Are you two going to toast and not eat and drink? Damn, grandpa has been sore in the past two days, and he hasn't been active for a long time, if you don't know each other, the end will be the same as the standing fairy in the brown bear tavern a while ago!"

"Standing Immortal is a fart! It's not enough to lift our shoes, you have a kind of move for us to try!" The two guys didn't give up, deliberately trying to provoke Kaigun.

"Damn, it's a big breath, grandpa likes you like this, there is a kind of don't run, stand still, let's go heads-up one by one, if you want to go up together, grandpa can't wait for this!"

The dwarf pulled out the dangling axe from his waist in an instant, and leaped in front of the ruffian. Both of them had a talent for comics, and they first looked at each other, and then shouted at Kaigun, "You have weapons, we don't, isn't this an obvious advantage?"

"Yo he, Grandpa, I don't need a plate axe today, let's compare and make fists!" said Kagun, inserting the axe back into his waist, and preparing to step forward with two fists.

If you want to know how the good and bad are, and listen to the next breakdown.
