The castle in the city of Wallombrenay is hosting a grand banquet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Dressed in a translucent light veil, the bewitching maid walked between the wine tables and poured the dark yellow liquor into a paulownia glass coated with whale oil, and the elegant aroma of whale oil was mixed with the spicy wine, which had a slight aphrodisiac effect. After three rounds of drinking, there were already guests who couldn't hold back their hands and feet on the maid, and the maid only snorted softly and fell into the other party's arms, without any intention of struggling.

"Hercules, Hercules! Damn, where did this little wild seed go? A drunken old man stood up, his chest open and two black silkworm-like whiskers hanging diagonally from his upper lip as if they had grown out of his nostrils. Although old, the old man's voice was as steady and powerful as the sea breeze throughout the hall. The noisy hall fell silent, and everyone could hear the name that had risen to prominence in Pande with unrivalled force, and the humiliating name that followed behind. Although they had all heard how unpretentious the Marquis of "Fork Hu" Airy was to the first warrior on the West Coast, after all, this old nobleman with a very high rank in Fieldsway valued bloodline the most, and Hercules was born to an unknown cook, even if he had slaughtered all the Salion reinforcements on the Missos Peninsula and bought extremely valuable time and space for the Marquis of Airy to capture Fort Mistromer, but in the mouth of old Airy, he was still a small wild species.

"My lord, yesterday an urgent letter was sent from the northern front, and Hercules has hurried to Pohulaban." Fieldsway's "Brute Hammer" Furstad leaned over and whispered.

"Fuck!" Marquis Airy angrily kicked over the wine table, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Furstad was silent, not to mention that Hercules had always been estranged from the Marquis of Airy, and when he received the letter, you were still in bed with two maids, and he would not have tried to hit the muzzle of the gun in a boring way. But he won't say this slander, otherwise wouldn't it imply that there is something wrong with Fork Hu's own style?

"Enough! Trouble with your longbeard fortress! An old man who looked six or seven points similar to the Marquis of Airy scoldly scolded, "In my Wallombre, you'd better be restrained!" ”

"Yes." Marquis Airy sat down obediently. The guests were all relieved, and sure enough, only the Marquis of "Red Sword" Aydin could subdue the perverse and violent Fork Beard. The two were half-brothers, and when they were still young men, Airy had not been stimulated by the secretion of excess male hormones to grow a stubble of beard, and when he received the nickname "Forked Beard", Aydin was already a well-known quasi-first-class martial artist, and after clearing a hidden pirate stronghold, he was respectfully called "Blood Sword". It is said that the two grew up with a pinch, and in the end Airy was beaten by Aydin and did not dare to disobey his brother in the slightest, and this awe was maintained until they were both over sixty years old.

The man with a somewhat haggard face played with his delicate wine glass, sat in the corner, and watched it all with cold eyes. He was still young, in the prime of life, but his hair was already stained with sporadic frost. His eyes are also like a peaceful autumn day, even if the people around him show deliberate snubbing towards him, the corners of his mouth still pick out a polite arc. There is no doubt that this is a personable aristocratic young man, and it is easy to distinguish him from the Fields nobles who are all the rage of tigers and wolves. The index finger of his right hand wore a quaint dark silver ring, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, and his thumb rubbed against the hard surface of the ring from time to time.

Sir Pander Dalyan, a direct descendant of the old Pande royal family, and the eleventh grandson of Pander Kavala the Great. Of course, in today's Pande, no matter how illustrious the background is, it is nothing more than a fancy rag that can easily be torn apart by a sword. Dalyan himself knew this, so although he was regarded as a usurper, he showed no ambition for supremacy. Unlike usurpers such as Inna and Ursula "Iron Fist", those people either possessed or once had the right to rule; Either there is still a considerable number of supporters at home who support their restoration - in short, the name "usurper" is justified for them - and they are qualified and powerful.

But Pander Dalyan is different, he is the remnant of the Pande royal family who survived the Red Plague, and the Pande Empire has long since fallen apart into four small states that have been fighting each other for many years. Even if there are supporters, they have been either eradicated by war or rectified by the iron fist of the rulers in the changes of time for more than a hundred years. Dalyan has a clear understanding of this, but others don't think so. The reason is simple, in addition to being the only surviving remnant of the royal family of Pande, Dalyan has another identity: an exile from the free city-state of Talibany.

The bloody tragedy that seemed to be caused by the foreign Marittin advance army was actually deliberately guided by Sarion, which is not a secret on the mainland. Although in the eyes of a wise statesman, whether the lord of Talibany had the blood of the Penn royal family or not, Sarion would not sit idly by and watch the existence of such a seemingly indisputable wall-to-wall in the territory, but in fact swaying at any time, the fall of Talibany became inevitable from the moment it declared neutral; However, there will always be good people who want to speculate in the direction of the old Pender Empire, and perhaps in their eyes, the Lion Family, which has encroached on the central Great Plains, has always had an indescribable fear of the Pande royal family, and will not hesitate to risk its notoriety to eradicate it. Against this backdrop, it was inevitable that the Dalyans, who had survived the Holocaust, had become a source of disgust for Ulrik V, whose father had previously been like a vase in four countries except Saarion, and now it was his turn.

In fact, Dalyan did not come to Wallombray of his own free will, but when he entered the territory of Fieldsway, the Marquis of "Red Sword" Aydin personally ordered him to be tied up, which was nothing more than a show, so as to convey such an innocuous message to Sarion:

That silver throne doesn't belong to Ulrik!
