"Your Highness, there is the fortress of Sakturi in front, according to the orders of the lord before, we did not occupy the surrounding villages and towns, and now there are still people in those towns."

Philip rode a Pegasus and hovered slowly in the air with Louie. In the direction of the horse's head, a magnificent fortress towered over. The spires of the emitting barrier stood like trees in the forest, and the pale blue light rippled back and forth on the magic barrier, unlike any barrier they had seen before, and this barrier was stronger than Philip and Louis had combined in this world before.

"It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with such a strong magic blessing and strong guards, even if we gather all our troops, it will take a long time, and we may not be able to take it."

Louis looked at the fortress of Sakturi and sighed helplessly.

"The rest of the kingdom in the east is still fighting fiercely with the southern expeditionary forces of the empire, we have to keep it, and this fortress in the north still has to keep the southern troops of the griffin empire to block it, and Subic will not be able to clean it up for a while."

"Your Excellency has just returned, let him have a good rest, and we will be ready to make sure that everything is okay in the north."

Philip pointed to several possible directions for the Griffon Empire to attack, all he was thinking about was to prevent the Empire's related military deployments.

"It's not just nothing, it would be better if I could give His Majesty some gifts. Think about it, the prince who returned triumphantly, how many beautiful girls' hearts can be attracted. ”

Louis narrowed his eyes as if he had seen the maidens on both sides of the street throwing flowers at him.

Philip shook his head, but didn't say anything. Louis has always been unreliable, but he does not drop the chain at critical moments.

"Your Majesty has concentrated too many troops here, but even then it is difficult for us to take care of such a long border."

"I get that, but why are we talking about this? Do you think the empire will make moves in the near future? ”

Mei Long nodded and asked with some confusion.

"I don't know, I just want to say it. Sometimes I feel that my life is a little illusory, as His Majesty said, our world is a game in the world he used to live in. But now I feel like I'm... It's like a character in a book, everything can't go according to his own thoughts. ”

Louis said this, his expression was a little dazed, and the speed of his speech became faster.

"Do you know, Mei Long, I actually really want to be a prince in a story, handsome, chic... Well, I've got both. I mean, a perfect, not so much accustomed prince. But for some reason, as soon as I saw the pretty lady, I wanted to strike up a conversation, even if I told myself that it was wrong, and I couldn't control it, and I said something completely different from what I thought, as if it were made up by a bard, and everything did what they wanted. ”

Louis said and glanced at Merlon, who was looking at him in astonishment, like some kind of monster.

"Well, I know you don't believe it, but sometimes things just get weird. Maybe our world doesn't exist at all, we're just a third-rate writer who writes something when he's bored, which explains why our lives are sometimes incomprehensible to us, and why we're here, it's all just a plot arrangement. Maybe we sometimes say something stupidly, and we ourselves think it's normal, it's an occasional mistake, but I think it's just a matter of making up the numbers when the writer has no words to write about. ”

"Remember the places we had been to before, there were some places I didn't really like, but for some reason we had to stay there for so long. There's a town I love to death, but I didn't even stop and passed there, and I haven't been there since, wanting to go but somehow my mind keeps preventing me from doing it. It's like the work of poets and families, spending a lot of words describing one place takes up half of the whole text, like this one: through the golden hall, through the labyrinthine cloisters—up the spire of the castle, looking down on the witch's garden—the tombstone----- to the tombstone of TM, I can't remember what's next, but two-thirds of this section is talking about this stupid castle! Remember the pretty cities and towns (Louis raised his hand in anger): the valley where the mages live is just behind him, and the valley where the boar knight cultivates seems to be touchable - in one day, the warrior has passed through most of the kingdom--- it's just nonsense! You and I both know how famous these two places are, how many trap monsters and tourist attractions there are, and the flying dragon may not be able to get out in a day's work, but a few words fool it! To make matters worse, this guy had never studied geography at all, and the Valley of Spells and the Valley of the Boar was like a next-door neighbor in his poem, but I had never seen a neighbor thousands of kilometers away, let alone the arena that was passed by in the middle! I feel like our lives are like this bad poem, our lives seem to be controlled by some being. Not our gods, but even more unimaginable beings. It's like... He arranges everything, you just have to follow his pen forward. ”

Louis stopped, his face flushed, his chest constantly rising and falling, even the strength of the Sky Combat Master could not suppress it. And Mei Long was confused, but there were also some doubts in his heart, some doubts that he should have discovered a long time ago.

"I don't know how much I drank, maybe riding a horse after drinking was a mistake, and it was even more a mistake to come to investigate. I feel now.... My head hurts, I haven't had a headache in years, forget everything I said before, let's go back, I'm going to get some sleep, and then I'll go to the nearby town to have a look, take a turn, I didn't even think about women, it's really rare..."

"It's rare, but it's not like you're drunk, after all, you can't even get a cat drunk with that little wine."

Meron shrugged his shoulders and then planned to ride away with Louie.

"Wait, what's that? Army!? ”

Louis grabbed the royal horse and turned his head, on the other side of the border, in the camp of the Griffin Empire, several troops were moving south. There was no disguise at all, as if there was no fear that their actions would be discovered.

"If it's a story, it's stupid!"

Meron looked at the griffons who were preparing to take off, and said to Louie with a frown.

"Let's go back, we need to gather our troops to deal with the mad Imperial army!"

Louis sighed, patted the back of the warhorse, and sped up the flight.
