Catherine had not yet reached the city of Crodina when something big had happened.

"Shante's Third Army Corps was completely defeated, and he and Kolenva were driven out of the province of Camillo by Tolstoy!" Szleek was at the door of the palace hall and said to Higg.

"So fast?" Higg was a little surprised, and asked, "Shante has been in business there for many years, and with Kolenva to help him, even if Tolstoy could reach the sky, it wouldn't be so fast?" Where did he come from the army? Could it be that only those fanatical believers dare to stand up to the army? ”

"The remnants of Simeone's Fifth War Zone, more than 100,000 people!" Sklell said, "Shante's third legion was possessed by the plague, more than 50,000 people died, and more than 70,000 people were infected, such an army, infected nearly half of the people, such an army can still exist, it is already a miracle, I already admire Shante and Colenva!" ”

"It seems that Daniel failed to help Shante solve the disease!" Higg said worriedly, "If the plague continues to spread to the surrounding provinces, it will definitely pose a threat to the survival and safety of Erathia!" Have you investigated, what role does the proboscis rat play in this plague? ”

"My people can't do anything about the proboscis rats, they don't see this kind of thing at all, and they are everywhere!" "Daniel has preliminarily determined that the proboscis rat monster is the carrier and spreader of the plague, not some water source and humid air!" But he needs further evidence to back it up! Too cautious, what evidence do you need? ”

"Daniel is a rigorous man!" Higg said, "The more troublesome and dangerous it is, the calmer and more cautious he will be, because the role of the proboscis rat monster is too important, and if it is really the proboscis rat monster, then it will uncover a horrific and shocking inside story!" ”

"Hell Abyssal Clan?" Szcklath asked, glaring at Higg.

"With only Simeone's 100,000 remnants, he can't deal with Shante's army at all, the core of Shante's army is the Crusader, even if he can organize an elite of 20,000 people from the army tormented by the plague, Simeone in the fifth theater is not an opponent, Simeone, is just a supporting role in Tolstoy's plan to hide his ears and steal the bell!" Higg smiled, "The territory of Camillo Province is so big, how can it be that it will collapse in two or three months?" All withdrawn from the province of Camillo? In this, either there is a plan for the mountain, or there is a conspiracy for Tolstoy! ”

"What kind of conspiracy could it be?" Scorley asked.

"Since Tolstoy is the initiator of the plague, and he uses the proboscis rat monster as a medium and spread, and this disgusting guy is a species of the Abyssal Hell Clan!" Higg laughed, "Do you think Tolstoy himself would be able to fully control this species?" ”

"Oh my God, Tolstoy, an alliance with the Abyssal Hells?" Szlee exclaimed, "Behind him, it's the Hell Abyss Clan? ”

Higg said: "Therefore, it is very important whether the proboscis rat monster is the source and vector of the disease, and Daniel must be cautious and must be supported by evidence before we can fully announce this news that shocked the world!" ”

"I need to remind Catherine to put pressure on the Pope!" Sklell said.

"Does that make any sense?" Higg smiled and asked, "Tolstoy, it's no longer under the control of the Pope!" ”

"But after all, Tolstoy relied on Catholicism to make his fortune, and the Catholics in Camillo Province were all fanatical?" Sklew said, "Whether the Pope has control over Tolstoy or not, he still has some influence on the Catholics in Camillo Province, at least he can create some trouble for Tolstoy and cool down those fanatical Catholics!" ”

"Good!" Higg nodded, "I'm still not at ease, I think I'd better personally go and assist Shante and Daniel, hoping to stabilize the situation!" ”

"There's no point in you going!" Sklell said, "Catherine is going back to Crodina City, you can't mess with yourself at this time, make trouble for yourself, the commander must not leave his own defense area, Catherine has not entered the palace yet, you dare to be the first to resist the order, this is too shameless, right?" Let him go, let Tolstoy toss it first, let's wait and see what happens, before the clues, you come forward to startle the snake, do you want the eyes of the Abyss Hell Clan to focus on you? We are in the dark, let Shante and Daniel in the light, so that we can win the game and strike before we need to! ”

"Hehe, you're really scheming!" Higg laughed.

"No, I can't play with you two little guys!" Squella laughed.

"What, what problem did Lan Xian'er give you again?" Higg smiled, "Don't stare at me, I won't signal her to ask you anything, you and I are from the Magic Mage Association, we are in a group!" ”

"If you show her how to do to me, that's it, after all, I only have one opponent!" Sleek laughed, "But you didn't signal her, but she made a killing move, which made it difficult for me to resist, and I felt terrible, because I had to deal with two difficult imps at the same time!" ”

"What the hell did she do to you, you didn't keep her promise?" Higg asked curiously.

"Don't be angry with me, you can ask her yourself!"

……

South of Crodina City, on the bank of the Barbie River, there is a wooden bridge on the river, go out from Crodina City to the south, and return from the south to reach the gate of Crodina City, all the officials who took office or returned to the court to report their work, have to pass through this bridge, generally ushered in, will choose this bridge as a gathering point, the north side of this bridge, everywhere is a long pavilion willow, fragrant grass and flowers, it has become the favorite of the literati to usher in the send-off, the poetry stories about this bridge, are simply countless, and even sung for thousands of years.

The distance from this bridge to the southeast gate of Krodina is just right, a distance of nearly an hour, whether it is to welcome or send to, it will make people feel that it is not far away.

Maria led thousands of people including city officials, generals of the Fifth Legion, and representatives of the townspeople and squires out of the city to meet Catherine's king! According to the usual practice, the greeting of the king should at least go further, but all the generals of the army ordered by Catherine must not leave their posts without permission, otherwise they will be decided, and the marshal of the Fifth Legion stationed in the royal city will not be able to resist the order, so only the royal guard led by the chief of Skrlyll will be greeted from afar.

The etiquette to greet the king is very cumbersome, even Catherine finds it cumbersome, but there is no way, the orthodox etiquette dignity of the royal family cannot be wasted......

When Wang Yuan arrived at the wooden bridge, it was close to noon, but it was not until the sun turned west that all the ceremonial procedures were completed! When we arrived at the southeast gate of the city of Crodina, it was already the day of the sinking of the west, and it was about to disappear.

From the southeast gate to the royal palace, there is another more than an hour's trip! Therefore, when Catherine actually came home, it was already dusk, and it was really dawn and sunset!

Wang Ran is still like this, not to mention the long queue of court officials behind Wang Ran? It is estimated that they will not be able to settle down in the city until midnight or even early in the morning.

"The king is very satisfied with the city of Crodinah!" Entering the palace, the palace that she was once familiar with, Catherine did not feel tired, and said in the court hall, "How many years, this king is almost unable to remember, the carved railings are jade, the red walls and blue tiles, all are only in dreams!" Today, the king is finally able to come back! ”

Catherine was followed into the court hall by Higg, Sklell, Maria, Blue Fairy, and of course, Christina.

"Your Majesty Mother, all the palace has been sealed, please look at the list of your majesty!" Mary said, handing over a thick list of belongings.

"What do I do with these mundane things?" Catherine threw the summary of Maria and Schlaith's hard work for nearly a month on the front case, and said, "Haven't you all counted it, put it where it should be placed, put it in the warehouse, and unpack it!" Those concubines and palace people should be dealt with according to the rules! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Seen Arad?" Catherine was not shy about having someone else, and asked Higg.

"I've seen it, he's dead!" Higg said.

"Do you hate this king?" Catherine stared at Higg and continued to ask.

"Hate!" Higg laughed.

"And now?" Catherine said, "Now you say you don't hate in your mouth, but you hate in your heart?" ”

"Your Majesty's role is not worth hating!" Higg said, "Or rather, Your Majesty is not qualified to make me hate!" ”

"Not eligible?" Catherine smiled, "Although I heard the harshness of hatred, this king is very honored that he does not have this qualification!" ”

"It's harsh, but Your Majesty still accepts it!" "Because this is my revenge on Your Majesty!" ”

"That's all?"

"That's all!" "Because others are more qualified than Your Majesty!" ”

"That person must not be Arad!" Catherine laughed.

"That's not a person!" Higg said fiercely, "And I'm about to make him nothing!" ”

"What are you going to do with your Fifth Legion?" Catherine asked again.

"That's His Majesty's legion, not mine!" "Your Majesty can move any soldier, any general, anywhere, even a change of commander!" ”

"You still don't have the reverence for royal power!" Catherine smiled, "Not before, but now that this king has recovered, you still don't!" ”

"If there weren't any, why do you need to have it now?" Higg laughed, "So, Your Majesty himself, does he have a sense of reverence for royal power?" ”

"This king is already a king, so why fear himself?" Catherine wondered.

"Your Majesty should be in awe!" Higg laughed, "At least more awe than I do!" ”

Catherine was thoughtful, but Maria, Sklezley, and even Blue Fairy were shocked by the conversation between the two monarchs, some of them seemed to understand, and more importantly, everyone was scared. Higg is indeed bold, even if he has an opinion on Catherine, he can't say it in court, even if he is not in awe of the royal power, he can't not give face to his face, this is the way of being a minister. But Higg has no reverence for royal power, so how can you tell him to put himself in the position of a subordinate? But superficial articles, should always be done, right?

"I will try to fear the king!" Catherine didn't get angry and said with a smile.

Higg smiled: "That's good, as long as Your Majesty fears the royal power, I will continue to assist Your Majesty in doing what I have to do!" ”

"What if I take back the Fifth Legion?" Catherine asked with a smile, her eyes fixed on Higg.

"Your Majesty will not!" Higg laughed, "Or rather, Your Majesty doesn't dare!" ”
