In the capital of the principality, Tania City, somewhere in the council hall, a fat man is constantly busy burying himself in a mountain of papers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info may be due to the excessive pressure of work, this fat man's face is covered with large pieces of sweat, and the front collar of the principality's special official uniform has also been soaked with sweat, but the fat man himself seems to be unaware, still concentrating on the things in front of his eyes, as if he will never finish processing, so that the white pages also float quickly in his hands, and then fall into a small basket woven by vines next to him. Although the whole process looks simple and embarrassing, judging from the expressions on the faces of the subordinates who are constantly handing them around, as well as the looks of the officials who occasionally pass by here, they are still very in awe of this busy fat man.

Because he is the current head of intelligence of the Principality of El Nephia, Lux Young.

"That's today's information, my lord."

"Didn't you say it several times?"

The fat man buried behind the mountain of documents took the new stack of documents handed over by a staff member without raising his head, but his mouth was not idle: "Don't call me sir, call me sir."

"Ah...... Yes, yes, Mr. Yang. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen today...... How's the reaction? ”

"It's business as usual, the councillors are still at their own homes, and they don't have any contact with each other...... "Your Excellency Venastel has taken special care of me, and let me greet you."

"Ask a fart."

The fat man picked up a pen from his left hand and began to write quickly on the papers in his hand: "When our Speaker enacted a new law, Fortson turned around and smashed his most precious magic vase, thinking I didn't know?" Now another person is coming to say hello to me? If their hearts are good, the sun will come out in the west! ”

"But...... The members of the aristocratic faction don't seem to have made any movement these days? ”

"If there's no movement, it's movement." The fat man replied in a low voice: "The Pamirs, and the people of many other factions, are waiting, waiting for their attitude and reply, even if it is open criticism and revenge."

"And now this silence ......"

The movement of his hand stopped for a moment, and then jumped quickly again: "I hope you don't get me in any trouble......"

With the flexible movement of the stubby fingers, the tip of the pen turned to the last corner of the paper, and then left a signature that was difficult to see and could not be recognized, and then was grabbed by the fat man: "The old man has been away these days, but it can be regarded as a hardship for us people...... Go, show Starag a look, let him ...... well Glance. ”

The inexplicable tone made the people standing beside him shudder involuntarily, because every time this fat man who kills people without blinking an eye says this, it means that someone who is about to be unlucky is about to appear. He bowed his head in response, then took the page that had been set aside, and hurried out of the place with the fat man's inexplicable smile. The latter's movements did not stop, and it was not until the movement around him became silent again that he put down the pen in his hand, and instead picked up a rag in the corner of the table, and wiped it against his head.

"Whew...... When will it cool down in this damn weather......"

The fat man tugged at his collar as if to heat himself, and his little eyes circled around the council hall before landing on his desk: "Hmm......"

"Let's take a look first...... Today's news. ”

Picking up the pile of things left by the previous man, the fat man fanned himself with his fan-like hand while casually flipping through it: "Just relax...... Hmm, Vincent is going to introduce that bill again? The Miki family really doesn't stop......"

"Tasker of the city defense army is going to have another feast...... Let's open it, let's open it, quickly discuss and come to a conclusion, how uncomfortable it is to keep dragging it out like this...... Well? ”

"This is news from the people of the Council of Mages, Identification...... Conclusion? Who went to do things with those gods...... Ah, by the way, that thing that Dusk sent the other day...... Hey, old fellow, aren't you uncomfortable without the Imperial people making trouble for you......"

"Wiesel's Tavern...... Out of business? Tut-tut, you rats, like to engage in these three ways every day, what is it this time? Whose old house is it to bomb? No, Connelly's shop seems to have been closed for a while a few days ago, and if the two of you say that there is no adultery, the ghost won't believe it......"

"Another adventurer has visited the Fortson family, and it's still a new face, huh...... So idle? Could it be that their so-called game is over? ”

Spread out on a special wide seat, the fat man had a smile on his lips, as if he was reading a newspaper or lace news, flipping through the news that ordinary people could not access at all, and at the same time talking to himself, as if the amazing inside story in front of him had nothing to do with him. But at the moment when he turned to this place, his relaxed expression slowly disappeared, and with it, his fat body gradually stood upright. The eyes seem to be reading what is going on, but the consciousness in the mind involuntarily begins to swim, spin, and then sink towards the depths of the sea, and finally stops somewhere, as if instinctively reacting.

The place felt familiar to him—a feeling of fear that he hadn't felt in years.

Sitting up straight, the fat man put the page in his hand back in front of him, and then turned the page back, looking for something he had just read before, and his pupils gradually contracted.

"Guards! Protect...... Wrong. ”

Subconsciously shouted something out of his mouth, and the fat man slapped the table and stood up, but the next moment he realized what the place was: "Pamir...... What about the Speaker? Is the Speaker here? ”

"In, in......"

"I want to see him, now, immediately, immediately! %#@% of the ......"

The pages in his hand were clutched into a bunch, and the fat man strode to the back of the hall, leaving behind the stunned expressions of those present, and a series of scolding voices that gradually pulled away.

***************************

"Those principalities...... Is it still the same? ”

"Yes, Captain."

At midday, the grasslands west of Fars Fortress, as usual, rose and fell in the summer wind caused by the heat of the sun. The green waves stretch out to the surrounding area again and again, repeating the process of lifting and falling, and at the same time, they also emit a refreshing sound of grass waves, showing the natural posture and charm to the people around them. However, if you can get rid of the players of the two factions who are constantly fighting on the grassland, and the Imperial cavalry who are stationed in the middle at this time, this beauty may be easier for passers-by to see, so that this war-torn place can regain its original light.

And...... Today's Imperial cavalry seems to have stayed a little longer than ever.

"Rats of Fars, sons of the Duchy! Do you dare to come out and fight us! ”

"Guys who hide in the fortress all day, come out if you have the ability!"

"In the name of the Empire, I have never seen such a timid soldier as you! Oh, no...... Can you still call them soldiers? ”

"We're standing here, if we want shame or revenge, we can come!"

These Imperial people on horseback stood far away in the grass far away from the fortress, and the shouting and scolding that had not stopped had lasted for nearly three hours. Not only the adventurers passing by, but also the players who stayed on the battlefield to fight around began to cast their suspicious eyes on the cavalry team that refused to leave, secretly speculating about the meaning. At a certain moment, a cavalryman rode up to the man who appeared to be the captain and asked in a low voice, "Then what shall we do?" Keep waiting? ”

"Of course, even if we can't wait, our follow-up troops will arrive."

The captain showed a smile: "Just rush this, we can't go now, what's the matter...... Gotta give it a try, too. ”

"IMHO...... Even if there are a few more squads, if there is no signal ahead...... Probably, also in vain. ”

"It's okay, I've earned it today."

Looking in the direction of a certain stronghold in the south, a strange smile appeared on the captain's face: "What's more......"

"I heard that among the reinforcements that have come, there will be adventurers."

"Huh? How to ......"

"I don't know exactly what happened, but ...... Those guys will always have a way. The captain flicked the reins of his own rope, then turned back as he moved forward, "Those adventurers always have a bunch of bad ideas, don't they?"

Amid the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves, the captain came to the front of the lined line, first made a low-voiced motion, and then tore his throat and shouted in the atmosphere that gradually quieted down: "Brutes of the principality! Listen to it all! Hurry up and open the door and surrender, or ......"

He laughed, "We're going to go in ourselves!"

*********************************

"Hey, Lord Adjutant, how can you be like this, hey, listen to me, hey...... I'll it! ”

At the mouth of the spiral staircase on the side of the fortress, the evil young man of the city and the African miner looked at each other, not knowing what had happened diagonally above them in the past few minutes - in that direction, a dancing man was walking down the spiral staircase, but judging from the content of the conversation that had been transmitted before, this person's behavior at this time should not be caused by happiness.

"I'm really beeping the dog!" The figure of the ladder madness immediately came to them: "I will take your task in the future, I am @#%@#......"

"Captain first dissipate the air, first dissipate the air...... the African miner sighed, and then stepped forward and began to comfort the work: "Didn't you just say two bad words, you can think of the janitor at the door, why do you ...... this?"

"!"

The ladder waved away the hand beside him: "You know a hair, do you know what that little squirt said just now?" We only have two stones now! ”

"Huh? What the? Then the faces of the other two men darkened.

"Although we didn't contribute much this time, and there were no casualties to report, but we don't look at the credit but also the hard work, and the fatigue if we don't look at the hard work, right? The result? That guy actually said with a shy face, 'You guys have worked hard', and then he couldn't even give the normal reward! ”

Perhaps because he was too angry, Brother Axe threw his big axe on the ground, and then continued to jump to his feet and said: "I told him to talk about morality, and he told me what righteousness is, can I augment my breasts?" I told him I was going to make a small report to Dusk, and he told me that he was going to the command room now, and asked me if I wanted to go with me, and I went, and I went to his sister's! I've never seen anyone so arrogant......"

He ...... Are you going to cheat our rewards like this? The African miner pulled his face and asked, "Darker than me?"

"At the end of the day, I thought I couldn't afford not to pay my salary, so I begged him to give us two pieces of equipment for the sake of the family, and then ...... And guess what? He took out two second-level keys......"

With a bang, the ladder kicked his big axe out of the distance: "Send it to Hanako!"

"I didn't expect it...... There really are NPCs that would do this kind of thing. ”

In the gloomy expression of the evil young man in the city, the African miner said in a low voice: "These principalities, and this fortress...... Don't you want to keep it anymore? ”

"It's really not going to work, let's change places." The evil young man of Jicheng, who was wrapped in bandages on his arm, also spoke: "Big brother, where are you going, we will all follow you......"

"They don't know if they want to ****, but the key question now is ...... I don't want to do it anymore. Looking at the clear sky above the fortress wall, the ladder suddenly showed a sad face: "The grasshopper is okay to say, after all, he is a brother, and he is not a poor person, but the ...... of the strange brother"

"People are still wearing novice clothes, so I'm really embarrassed to owe it."

"Brother Mo, big brother shouldn't have to worry." Evil Shao said: "He shouldn't be a person who cares, and now ...... I'm busy too. ”

"By the way, what about others?"

"Wasn't it at the door, stopped by the people in the team of Colorful Spiritual Light?" The African miner said: "It seems that there is some kind of grievance that wants to be resolved on the spot...... It's probably still there. ”

"Hey, I saw that too." Finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and the ladder smiled: "Let's go, it's still too late, right?" Let's see the excitement and ......"

He urged the crowd as he walked quickly to the axe he had dropped not far away, intending to pick it up, but just as he was about to approach him, two figures suddenly appeared in the shadows not far away, attracting his attention.

"That guy ......"

Holding the handle of his axe, the ladder slowly straightened up, gritting his teeth and chanting, "You wait for me......"

Rumble!

A massive shock manifested itself at the top of the fortress, and the ripples of gas formed a ring in the air, passing through the ladder's line of sight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then spreading out into the distance. He looked up in amazement, at the top of the fortress that was shrouded in smoke after the flashes of light and illusion, and then slammed his head - with a whistling sound, rubble of various sizes cut through the sky and fell towards the perimeter of the area where the ladder was located.

A huge explosion, all now unfolded in front of everyone's eyes. (To be continued.) )
