83. Don't dare to publish the news

The last few times the giant crossbow arrows were delivered, Count Conrad always seemed very busy, and the clerks who usually slept on the chairs with their feet crossed in the office of the logistics department were nowhere to be seen one by one, and the giant crossbow arrows sent to the warehouse of the logistics department could only be piled up in the waiting area, without the signatures of those clerks, even if it was not officially put into storage, I felt that the atmosphere of the entire South Wind Legion was a little weird.

It wasn't until this private ball hosted by the Marquis of Ludwig Aston that I heard the news from a group of noble lords chatting: on the day of the harvest festival, the Prince of Wales led the Knights of Formation to annihilate a Nagrama legion on the Lochki plane in the port of Hughes Zola on the Lochky plane.

The news of this victory has not been released, and the noble lords have different opinions, and most of the lords believe that after the third strong reinforcement entered the Angela plane, the news of His Royal Highness Prince Charles's victory in the Angela multi-faceted war has not reached the imperial capital for a long time, in this case, once the news of the victory of the Prince of Wales in the Battle of Hughes Zola in the Loché plane is announced, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles's reputation will inevitably be affected, in view of this consideration, the news of the victory of the Prince of Wales in the Loki plane will be suppressed by the imperial military。

With a glass of golden cider, I sat on a set of soft leather sofas at the edge of the ball room, watching Arya dancing with Marquis Ludwig Aston on the dance floor, Arya on the dance floor was full of vitality, like a forest fairy dancing alone in the heart of a flower, Marquis Ludwig held a hand behind his back, gracefully holding Arya's four white fingers with his right hand, with an aristocratic smile on his face, showing the gentlemanly demeanor in his bones.

At last year's coming-of-age ceremony, he and Ying Li quietly held a wedding with no guests and no blessings, although Prince James and Lady Manda acquiesced, but they have not been recognized by the royal family of Angelboy, I originally thought that it was because of my lack of status, but now that I think about it carefully, it is clear that Prince James does not want me to fall into the quagmire of royal competition too early.

I took a sip of the golden cider, with a hint of bitterness in the sour taste, and sighed softly, but I still couldn't read James's mind after all!

But speaking of which, marrying Ying Li means that I have a very clear royal label on me, and no matter what the Prince of Wales thinks of me, we can only turn enemies into friends now.

Betty was standing behind me, holding a plate of fine food in front of me, when a middle-aged aristocratic couple nodded to me from a distance, and I responded with a smile, but I didn't expect the aristocratic couple to come directly to me, and I didn't know them at all.

Just when I was a little distressed and didn't know what to say in the first sentence after meeting, Betty bent down slightly and whispered to me in my ear, "This is Andy. The Marquis of Haldane, a great lord of the province of Palestina, has a good relationship with your friend Marquis Louis Mensa, and is accompanied by his lover Madame Lois, the wife of the late Duke of Orion, but it is said that she has moved out of the Orion family, and the mother of the new Duke of Orion has a deep grudge against this Lady of Lois, so if you want to befriend the Duke of Orion, you should not get too close to Lady Lois. ”

“......”

I glanced at Betty, and saw that her eyelids were lowered when she approached me, and her curved eyelashes trembled slightly, but I didn't expect to have such a strong memory.

The Marquis of Haldane strode over, and I quickly got up from the upholstery sofa, saluted him and Madame Lois, and preemptively said, "Good evening, Marquis Andy Haldane, I did not expect to see you here." ”

"Good evening, Marquis Giga, I often hear your name from Louis, today I finally met you by fate, I didn't expect you to be promoted to a marquis at such a young age, think that I was still studying martial arts at the High Swordsman Academy in Bena Province when you were so old......"

After greeting with the Marquis of Haldane for a while, everyone did not talk about substantive content.

When the music stopped, and Arya returned from the dance floor with her dress in one hand, the Marquis of Jordan took Madame Lois by the hand and left, and Madame Lois gave me a serious glance as she left.

"Stay away from the woman, Haldane failed to catch the war train of the Marquis de Louis Mensa this time, probably because of this woman's influence. Arya walked back with her skirt and said it bluntly.

The Marquis of Ludwig Aston was communicating with the other lords on the dance floor, and the music started, and immediately a nobleman walked up to Arya and stretched out his hand to invite her to dance, but the nobleman did not greet me, he seemed to know Arya, and praised her directly: "Lady Arya, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so young and beautiful!"

The nobleman was dressed very young, wearing a knight's military uniform, with the air of a second-turn powerhouse, his eyes staring at Arya with a friendly smile, his figure was in the classic inverted triangle shape, his broad shoulders looked like he had explosive power, and he wore the count's badge and the badge of a senior knight on his chest, as well as a row of unknown medals of honor.

"Good evening, Count Joel, have you just returned to the Imperial Capital from the Dimensional War?" Arya glanced up at the knight in front of her and smiled politely.

"Well, I just returned to the Imperial Capital from the plane of Marquis Ludwig Aston last week, and this time I will be resting in the Imperial Capital for about two months. The noble knight blushed slightly, and said to Arya with some embarrassment.

"Are you participating in a plane war?" Arya blinked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Count Joel seemed to have only Arya in his eyes, and he spread his hands to Arya and said pretending to be chic: "Plane wars have frequently broken out everywhere in these years, and the plane situation on the side of Marquis Ludwig Aston is relatively good, and it has not been invaded by dark forces, but from time to time there are some members of the Dark Arts Hermitage who secretly establish the Demon Summoning Gate, these guys who like to hide in the sewers of the imperial capital don't know how to infiltrate our plane, and no matter what method is used, they can't clean it up......"

Seeing that he was babbling a lot, Arya did not show any impatience on her face, but her arm inadvertently grabbed my arm, and her whole body was close to me, smiling at Count Joel.

Count Joel seemed to notice me at this time, and was stunned before he asked Arya, "......Who is this?"

I held out my hand to him and said, "Jiga, it's a pleasure to see you. ”

Count Joel looked at me with some surprise, stretched out his hand and shook it with me, his palm was wide and large, and I could see that it was full of strength, but when he shook hands, he only made me feel his steadfastness and firmness, his eyes fell on the badge I wore on my dress, his eyes were a little glazed, and he said, "Eh, Jijia...... Marquis, it's a pleasure to meet ...... You!"

I unconsciously used honorifics when I spoke.

He looked at Alia and then at me, as if he had figured out something, and there was some embarrassment in his eyes, and he said helplessly: "By the way, there are still people over there waiting for me to drink, and we will talk when we have a chance in the future." ”

Without waiting for me to say goodbye to him, he turned and walked away quickly, disappearing into the noisy ball.

I also tried to find his back on the lively dance floor, but I didn't expect him to walk so neatly, as if he had never been seen at a dance party.

"I'm actually very attractive, aren't I?" said Arya, smiling at me.

"I've never denied that, and I love the confident smile you have. I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her white face, and said to her with a smile.

"Cut! The last thing I want to hear is your compliment!"

Arya gave me a blank look, pulled me to sit on the soft leather sofa together, picked up a piece of foie gras from the plate in front of me and put it into her mouth elegantly, she almost didn't dare to eat anything since noon in order to be able to wear this tunic dress, only drank some milk, now she seems to be hungry, but with that girdle, he still can't eat anything, she only eats a piece and forces herself to stop.

Taking a sip of the golden cider, Arya lifted her spirits and said to me, "Well, I just heard the news that the Third Aid Mission, where Luis Mensa's newly constructed knights, was defeated in the first battle of Angela, and was slapped in the face by the Nakma people who were stationed in the mountains. ”

I didn't expect Arya to bring back such news, isn't the entire Imperial Capital City or the Grimm Empire waiting for the news of His Royal Highness Prince Charlie's victory in Angela?

I looked up at Arya and asked, "Uh, how can this be?"

Arya shook her head, indicating that she didn't have an in-depth understanding of the news, she pointed to the group of noble lords who were chatting on the other side of the dance floor, and said to me, "Several lords over there are discussing this, you want to know more details, I will introduce you to them......"

I was tempted to come over and hear what they were talking about, but I held back and said to Arya, "Forget it, if something really happens, Louis should write back." ”

It's been almost forty days since Luis Mensa entered Angela with ten newly constructed Knights, and every ten days I've been delivering a batch of military supplies including canned luncheon meat, meat floss bricks, and single-attribute crossbow arrows to the Emerald Bay Trading House, and I've also provided Luis with a box of high-quality healing potions. During this time, Louis wrote a letter to Noah at Angela, describing some of the events of the Angela Facet War.

Noah also happily told me at the time that after the Constructed Knights led by Louis arrived at Angelado, they were assigned the task of stationing in a Mithril mine near the front line, so that the Legion Commander of Aix could withdraw from the defense of the mine and enter the front line battlefield of Angela again as the second main echelon.

I didn't expect that the support army where Louis was located, the news of the defeat came so quickly, and the reason why this kind of thing spread so quickly was because the entire imperial capital was paying attention to them, waiting for the news of the victory of His Royal Highness Prince Charlie, but now, ...... It seems that the pot was smashed in the first battle.

In fact, when Louis was bent on helping His Royal Highness Prince Charles in Angela, Noah and I persuaded Louis to convene the Mensa family's Constructed Knights, and now the Mensa family's plane war is not too tense, and it is completely possible to transfer some elite Constructed Knights, but at that time, Louis was bent on establishing his own private army, and did not listen to my and Noah's suggestions.

Speaking of which, most of the Angela Faces are located in the mountains, and there are few plain swamps, and the five Mithril mines of the Babington family are located between the mountains.

The Rocky plane is just the opposite, the Rocky plane has half of the ocean and the land, the land part is also a large number of rivers, and there are countless inland lakes, only in the northwest of the Rocky plane there are rolling mountains, this time the Nakma suffered a big loss at the hands of the Prince of Wales, all the Nakma people located in the Rocky plane all gathered in the northwest mountains, obviously the Nakma people are still very confident in their ability to fight in the mountains.

The 3rd Support Army Corps entered the Angela Legion and directly exchanged guards with the Commander of the Aix Corps, which in itself was an extremely risky move.

And the descendants of the Mo family did not take advantage of the many faces of Angela, the eldest young master of the Mo family, Mo Xiang, returned to the imperial capital several times to seek more powerful materials, now in retrospect, the Mo clan legion has been stationed in the Wara Valley of the Kenda plane all the year round to fight with the demons, and is known as the strongest legion of the empire outside the two major armies of the north and south, but the Mo legion is still very conservative in the battle method of Angela, which is enough to show how powerful the Nakma people are in Angela.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing me sitting on the couch silent, Arya leaned over me and asked.

I sighed softly, thinking to myself that the royal family would not give up His Royal Highness Prince Charles no matter what, and the only solution was to continue to increase the troops.

Thinking of this, I said to Arya, "I was thinking that perhaps the Fourth Legion to reinforce Angela was already being formed. ”

"Is the situation really that bad over there?" Arya asked, covering her mouth with her hand as she spoke.

I shook my head and said, "That's not true, it's just that many lords in the imperial capital can't wait to go to Angela to get a piece of the pie, it is estimated that if this news is concealed, there will definitely be many lords rushing to jump into this war quagmire, but it is not easy to get benefits in that big quagmire......"
