Alvat looked up at the warm sunshine of the sky, his handsome face looked unusually languished and haggard under the boring march of these days, repeating the same thing every day, no matter who felt mentally numb, especially the soldiers around him all drooped their heads, and moved forward weakly, and the military flags symbolizing honor swayed from side to side, and on the surface this army looked as if it had lost a battle!

The number of troops was much smaller than when they first returned, some were seriously wounded and died, some could not bear the status quo and fled secretly, and some were killed in defiance of military orders...... All in all, the army is completely demoralized, and could fall apart at any moment, and only occasionally arrive in town for a short break to recuperate!

The endless plains, the sky is blue, the grass and trees are bursting out of the soil to present a green scene, and the spring breeze is light, bringing people a kind of relaxation and comfort.

Alvat tried to muster his spirits, waved his hand to the adjutant not far away, and when the other party came closer, he asked, "How far is it from Querofi?" ”

The adjutant took out a map from his pouch and carefully proofread it before replying, "My lord, we have about three days to reach Querofi in the next day, and if we march day and night, we will be able to do so the next night!" ”

"Is there three more days?" Alvat muttered in his mouth, and then ordered, "Now you immediately send a small team of elite and loyal scouts to Querofe in advance to investigate!" I need to know the latest intelligence news from Quirofi! ”

"My lord, I beg your pardon for wondering, why did you send scouts to Querofi instead of sending good news to Lord Viscount?" The adjutant frowned.

"Because I'm worried that the current Querofi is not the Querofi we are familiar with." Alvat said softly.

"Your Excellency...... Do you want to say what happened to Querofi? "The adjutant is a smart man. Immediately, I heard something else from Alvat's words.

"I don't know. That's why I'm sending scouts to investigate! Alvat said.

"Follow your will!"

The adjutant did not continue to ask. After saluting respectfully, he retreated to prepare for the matter of waiting in peace.

Alvat looked in the direction where the adjutant had left, and unconsciously shifted her gaze to the position of Pandelia in the rear of the army, she was now wearing the same clothes as ordinary soldiers, and her delicate and beautiful face was hidden in the faded silver helmet, if she didn't look closely, it would be difficult to recognize the other party's appearance, she still avoided him, otherwise she would not deliberately distance herself from him!

Sighing helplessly, he turned his head. But in his heart, he had begun to secretly think about the affairs of Xia Lan and Alonsos.

After such a long time, they still have no news, they don't know the victory, they don't know their life and death, and they don't know their whereabouts.

Of course, none of them want to live, and the best outcome is for them to die together!

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking on his part.

……

Castle of Viva.

The death of Viscount Moron and the disappearance of "Plino" caused the defenders in the castle to fall into chaos for a moment, but fortunately, Segreg who remained in the castle came forward in time to stabilize the situation a little, and Eckhart returned with a small number of guards. He confirmed the death of Viscount Moron with his own eyes.

Corpses don't lie, even if Viscount Moron's headless corpse is destroyed by Plino's enchantment magic. There was enough flesh and blood left in the ground for Eckhart to identify him!

For a moment, Eckhart himself was dumbfounded.

The order assigned to him by the "Radiant Sanctuary" is to assist Viscount Moron in expanding his strength and protecting his life, but now that Viscount Moron is dead and his mission has completely failed, it has become his confused choice whether to stay here and wait or return to the Templar to restore his life!

According to the inheritance system of the title of the noble lord of Sissinia, when the nobleman dies, his domain and title will be inherited by the eldest son born to the first wife, and the eldest son will inherit the second son if he dies, and so on; If the noble family does not have a male heir who is directly bloodlined, it can only be inherited by a woman, of course, there are occasional exceptions to the inheritance of territorial titles, such as the heir specially designated in the nobleman's will before death!

However, as the legal heir of Viscount Moron, Ollambert has not heard from him a few days ago, if the problem of the heir is not resolved, the situation of Querofi will become even worse, after all, without the rule of the noble lord, the order of the territory can easily cause collapse, so Segreg is particularly worried about this problem!

"Archon Eckhart! Leader of Eckhart......"

Segreg called out to the stunned Eckhart a few times before he caught the other party's attention, he didn't know the confusion in Eckhart's heart, he simply thought that he hadn't recovered from the death of Viscount Moron!

"What's wrong? Segreg? Eckhart turned to the other and said nonchalantly.

"Segreg! Were you listening to me just now? Segreg sighed.

"You were talking about the heir just now......" Eckhart was not deaf, although he was ordered to pay little attention to the outside world in a trance just now, but he still listened to what Segreg was talking to himself!

"Now the Viscount is dead! We cannot remain indifferent here, the question of the heir will not be solved in a day's time, and the situation in Querofi will become more and more precarious, not to mention the other noble lords around us, and the internal unrest alone will be enough to make us anxious......" Segreg chattered again.

"So—" Eckhart interrupted the other party's habitual negotiation tone.

Segreg paused for a moment to speak, as if he was also aware of the problem he had elaborated, and after calming down, he said in a deep voice: "At present, Ollambert's whereabouts are unknown, on the one hand, we need to immediately send someone to search for his traces, and even prepare for the next step of Ollambert's misfortune; On the one hand, you need to lead the Guards to stabilize the situation inside and outside Querofi, and send people to the front line to inform Lord Alonsos to return and take control of the ......"

Just as Segreg was detailing the next arrangement, one of the guards hurriedly broke into the room where the two were staying, and hurriedly shouted: "Commander Eckhart! Lord Segreg! Lord Lambert appeared outside Villa Castle......"

"What? You repeat! Ollambert showed up? Segreg's mind was drawn to the guard's report for a moment, and he was shocked.

"Yes! While it was true that we had seen Lord Lambert, we weren't sure if anyone was pretending to be one, so we came to ask for instructions from both of you! The guard said nervously as he knelt on the ground.

"Lead the way!" Segreg walked in the direction of the gate. "Eckhart! Go with me. ”

After passing through the layers of security inside the castle, the two of them came to the top of the castle wall in a short time!

Following the guidance of the guards, Segreg soon saw a disheveled and unkempt man riding on a gray horse outside the city gate.

He's Ollambert, yes!

However!

The strangest thing was that there was a small group of knights in black clothes by his side!

From a distance, Segreg, who is an ordinary person, can feel the dangerous momentum emanating from this squad of knights, no wonder the castle guards dare not let Ollambert in!

"Segreg! I see you!! I can understand that those lowly soldiers don't know me, but I know you must recognize me! Let me go into town! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! Ollambert raised his head with a decadent face, and when he saw Segreg, his spirit was suddenly shocked, and his arrogant words immediately blurted out!

"Lord Ollambert, I'm sure you're here!"

If appearance can deceive people, then nature must not deceive people, and the familiar arrogant voice of Ollambert alone is enough for Segreg to recognize the other party!

"Then don't you open the city gate for me!" Ollambert whipped his horsewhip and yelled at the city!

"I'm sorry! You can't enter the city! ”

Eckhart, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, and his eyes had been fixed on the squad of knights in black under the city from the beginning!

"Eckhart! How daring! Whoever gave you the right not to let me into the city! Don't forget your own identity! To put it nicely, you're my father's retainer, and to put it mildly, you're a dog in our family! When Ollambert heard this, he immediately scolded angrily.

Eckhart had a cold face, and Segreg also didn't look good, after all, Ollambert's unpleasant words also insinuated him!

"Eckhart! Now I sue you as the soon-to-be-heir to the title of Viscount of the Lord of Querofi! You will no longer be a retainer of our family, you have been expelled! ”

Under the city, Ollambert raised his horsewhip and shouted like a mighty man.

"The soldiers at the head of the city told me that now that my father is dead, I am the future lord of Quirofi and the master of Viagra Castle! If you dare to disobey my orders, none of you will end well in the future! Now, do you choose to follow the orders of this destroyer or the orders of the future Lord of Querofi?! ”

"Strange! How did Olambert know that Lord Viscount was dead! Segreg said with a sudden solemn expression.

"Because the murderer of Viscount Moron is by Ollambert's side!" Eckhart said indifferently. (To be continued......)
