Qiu Yi, the political officer, who had prevented Rodney from sending troops against the goblins several times, had always wanted his son Eddie to be the commander of the army going north.

So Rodney was impressed by his gray-bearded face, and looked around at the platforms that only royal and aristocratic people could climb, but did not see him.

"I almost forgot..."Rodney touched his chin, thinking that Qiu Yi was not allowed by the king to ascend to the royal platform, and he could only be in the vast crowd of spectators.

In that case, it would be difficult to find, Rodney smiled.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zuo saw him talking to himself.

"It's nothing, just a funny thing that suddenly comes to mind."

Not surprisingly, the winner of the final before noon today is still Ika the Leopard Man.

The moment it used the final blow of the flame-enchanted meteor hammer to kill the new orc opponent, the cheers of the audience were colder than when the other gladiators fought before.

Because Pica the Leopard Man often wins, the odds are too low.

"Hey, it's him again today, but it's good for me to earn a little money for wine every day..."

"Go back, there's nothing to look at anymore, that guy Ika is too arrogant."

Two men in the audience were talking.

Amid the audience's not-so-enthusiastic cheers, Ika ignored them and dragged the Meteor Hammer into the fence gate again.

"It's boring, boring opponents, boring spectators...", he didn't forget to complain as he left, thinking that if he could go to war, he would definitely open the eyes of these Terrans.

It then disappears from view.

Unless ordered by the king, the Colosseum's regular events will only be held in the afternoon, and there will be a larger gladiatorial tournament every Sunday.

"Well, that's all for today," Rodney turned and looked at Xia Zuo, "Is it still fun to watch?" Xia Zuo. ”

Xia Zuo shook his head with a pout, he only felt that it was too bloody, but it was inconvenient to say that he was a good person in the ordinary world, and he couldn't appreciate this.

"The royal platform is generally only used by the royal family, officials authorized by His Majesty, and distinguished guests of the kingdom," Rupert said dissatisfied, "Xia Zuo, you can board today, even if Lord Rodney has taken you as a guest, His Majesty the King has not explicitly allowed it, you are content." ”

"It's not a matter of viewing angle......" Xia Zuo said helplessly.

The four of them left the Colosseum and continued with the cavalry to the palace.

The Royal Palace is a separate castle in Zeberne.

Located on a hill in the heart of the northern aristocratic district, it has the best view of the city, and the top of the tower offers a panoramic view of the houses on the edge of the city walls.

High white walls and watchtowers surround the four towers, the first fort and the second fort.

Seeing that it was the return of the Rodney cavalry, the eight guards at the gate of the castle walked out of the two, saluted the dismounted Rodney and his party, and spread their hands.

Inside the castle, non-guard soldiers were not allowed to carry weapons unless the king gave them permission.

Rodney, Rupert, and Jenny knew this well, unsheathing their sheaths and handing over their weapons before the guards could reach out.

Xia Zuo was half a beat slower.

"Hard work, Lord Rodney, and knights," said the guard, sling a sword over his shoulder, and saluting them again, "Your Majesty is in the throne room, please come with me." ”

The weapons of the four men were then kept by the guards and accompanied them throughout the journey.

"No wonder I didn't see Your Majesty in the Colosseum today, and the minister Qiu Yi, who was originally convening a meeting." Rodney said he was uneasy about the content of the discussions.

The cavalry team stood neatly outside and changed to a standby state.

Just as Rodney and his party left, another guard slowly stepped forward and checked on the cavalry.

The guard looked around, and the two hundred cavalry were neatly dressed, and there were no scratches on their armor, not at all like they had just returned from battle.

"On the orders of the Archon Qiu, I will ask you a few things." Then he stopped in front of the horse-leading cavalry in the front row of the team, and said in a serious tone.

"Please, Mr. Palace Guard." The cavalry stood straight and said respectfully.

The guards serving in the palace are always higher in rank than ordinary cavalry.

"Did you really fight the Goblin Legion?"

"Yes, sir." He replied categorically.

"I'm talking about the fight, it's the battle between the two armies, not Lord Rodney, alone, the Goblin Legion that was destroyed, right?"

"No, sir, our army did have a large-scale battle with the goblins," the cavalry stretched out his hand to the rear, and the companions were on the back of their horses, tied with blood-soaked pockets, "We almost killed three goblins on average, and everyone's iron sword was stained with goblin blood, and the heads of these little demons are among the many pockets, please take a look, sir." ”

"Hmm......" The guard didn't seem satisfied with this answer, and came to the back of a few horses, and opened his pockets to inspect them, showing a disgusted expression, "It's indeed a goblin, I'll get back to Lord Qiu." ”

"Yes, sir."

"But please remember, cavalry, what you say must be true, Lord Qiu Yi will ask the court mage to discern the truth of what you say, and judge that you killed these goblins... Or was it Commander Rodney who killed alone, understand!? The guard snapped and added.

"Yes, sir." The cavalry's face did not change color.

The guard snorted impatiently and turned away, and the cavalry saluted him again.

This was not what Lord Qiu wanted - Rodney managed to lead his troops and defeat the Goblin Legion.

The guard thought to himself that this would undoubtedly prove to His Majesty the King and his ministers that Rodney was capable of leading his troops in battle.

————

The throne room is located on the first floor of the first castle, and when everyone arrives, the throne room guard pushes open the door.

When the crack was revealed, His Majesty Charles was heard talking anxiously with his ministers.

The door was open, and Xia saw that it was an ornate hall surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows—the floor, the stone pillars, and the steps at the end of the throne were all glazed.

Above the golden throne, a broad banner with a white background is hung, painted with a blue lion motif representing the kingdom of Andoo.

And the throne was empty.

His Majesty the King, wearing a crown and a solemnly embroidered robe, was at the end of a long table in the center of the hall, discussing measures with his subordinates who were standing around the table.

The table expands with a map of the territory of the Kingdom of Andoo.

"Your Majesty." Rodney was the first to speak.

"Rodney, you're back! Ha ha! The king spread his arms, stood up from the table, and came over with his own initiative.

Noticing Rodney's safe return, there was also Qiu Yi, the political official among the ministers, he frowned, and when everyone didn't pay attention to him, he freely made a disgusted expression.

When the king and the men approached each other at some distance, Rodney, the two lieutenants, and the guards who were helping them with weapons fell to the ground on one knee at the same time and saluted the king.

Xia Zuo didn't do that... Do you want to kneel? It's really a little uncomfortable, even if he faced the NPC emperor when playing games in the past, Xia Zuo would not choose to control the game character to kneel.

That won't have any serious consequences, at most NPC friendship won't increase.

Xia Zuo, who has never knelt down to anyone since he was born, also chooses not to bow down at this moment - as a foreigner, it is normal not to understand the rules.

King Charles also noticed Xia Zuo, but at the moment he wanted to talk to Rodney more.

Rupert was shocked to see that Xia Zuo was not kneeling, and was about to pull his knee pants when the king spoke.

"Get up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Several people then got up.

"Is it satisfactorily resolved? Sooner than I thought," the King whispered into Rodney's ear, "you won't be alone again, will you?" You know, this time, but I deliberately let you fight for the ministers. ”

"The soldiers are dutifully in battle, my majesty." Rodney also whispered a response.

"That's good~" The king took a step back in relief, "It's you, you can do everything perfectly." ”

"Actually, the speed of this expedition to the goblins is very fast, and to an absolute extent, it is Xia Zuo's help." Rodney spread his hands and introduced behind him.

"Xia Zuo?" The king looked down - a ranger dressed in plain leather armor and refusing to bow down?

"Yes, from the Goblin King, the Goblin Leader, to the Goblin Soldiers, most of them were solved by Xia Zuo, who saved Liv Village in time, and he was wearing a letter of introduction from the village chief of Liv Village, Grevelde."
