The queen introduced the person next to her, and as Malone thought, it was her husband, the Archduke of Anlek.

This is not a simple person, either.

At the beginning, the old king was old, and the two princes competed for the throne, and Catelyn, as a princess and a married princess, was originally not qualified to inherit the throne.

But relying on a series of operations by An Lek, Caitlin became the queen, while the two princes were one death and one prisoner, and the means can be described as extremely clever.

You must know that he was not the Grand Duke of Dongjun at the beginning, but just the identity of an heir!

"I've seen the Grand Duke, and I've heard of the Great Duke for a long time!"

An Lek is a very handsome person, and unlike Ma Long's masculine temperament brought by his great strength, he is very handsome.

Blonde hair, dazzling in the sun, a decent aristocratic robe worn on his body has the bearing of a superior person, and the smile on his face makes people want to be close.

"Hello." They actually stretched out their hands.

This is...... Want to shake hands?

Malone was a little surprised.

There is also a handshake etiquette in this world, but nobles generally do not use it, but it is mostly spread among merchants.

Although I don't know why, I still stretched out my right hand.

The two hands were gently clasped together, and Ma Long couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Anlek's strength was not weak, not only not weak, but unexpectedly strong.

The two of them shook their hands lightly, and they separated, just a simple temptation, and neither had the idea of making the other ugly......

Ma Long followed the queen and his party to the palace, and he obviously became the center along the way, several people enthusiastically introduced him to the various aspects of the royal capital, and the roadside guards blocked the crowd of onlookers.

Experiencing everything in front of him, Ma Long couldn't help but recall the first time he came to the royal capital, and sure enough, strength is fundamental.

For the high treatment in front of him, he didn't feel much enjoyment, and after a long time, he was a little unexpectedly irritable.

At the beginning, I was still a little happy to see the queen personally come out to greet me, but when I thought that the front line was still fighting, the rear was making a big deal here.

Although it was for himself, Malone was inevitably bored, and he didn't like this kind of occasion very much.

The palace banquet, to put it bluntly, was a social party, and the queen arranged for many high-ranking members of the kingdom to accompany him.

Of course, these people are also willing to make contact with Ma Long, after all, he has too many interests, and everyone wants to get some light.

As the protagonist of the banquet, it became natural for Malone to be toasted constantly, but fortunately, he drank a lot of alcohol and had an amazing physique, so he had no worries about getting drunk.

After the feast, Malone was taken to a small conference room.

Queen Caitlin, Archduke Anlek, Marquis Marquis Mammon, and others were already seated.

Seeing Marlon sitting down, An Leek asked with a smile, "Marquis Marquis Marquis Marlon doesn't seem to like the previous scene?" ”

Ma Long was stunned, he didn't expect An Lek to see it, and he didn't expect the other party to ask directly.

He nodded, "I really don't like it very much!" Since the other party asked so directly, Ma Long also replied simply.

Maybe he would be immature when he said this, but Malone was angry in his heart, so he didn't have any scruples.

Although the royal family has a noble status, to put it bluntly, it is only the largest noble......

Queen Catelyn was a little pale.

No matter who you are, you will be unhappy in the face of such a thing, let alone the most noble person in a country, how long has it been since no one has resisted yourself like this?

Mammon opened his mouth to relieve the siege and said: "The marquis was born as a commoner, and it is normal that he is not used to such a scene. ”

The queen still kept her face calm, silently suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and said, "In that case, let's talk about business directly." ”

The four of them sat down around the table, Ma Long glanced at the three of them each, and said directly: "What is the situation now?" ”

"I'll tell you." Enlek took the words, his expression calm, as if nothing had happened, "I am responsible for this matter, and no one should know better than me......"

He looked at Caitlin and Mammon, and saw that they were both okay, before he spoke up about the current situation.

A few months ago, an army of 50,000 orcs entered the kingdom and fought all the way to Los Angeles without much loss.

Fortunately, the kingdom began to prepare several years ago, and as the southern county town, Los Angeles is equipped with a large number of city defense crossbows, which can be used to keep the orcs under the city.

With the front road blocked, the orc soldiers split into two ways.

All the way, 20,000 people continued to attack Los Angeles, hoping to open the road to the north as soon as possible.

The other way is to clear the remnants of the castle of humanity in the south.

Due to the rapid advance of the orcs, there are actually a large number of human castles left in the entire southern county.

In order to avoid accidents on the back road, it is normal and reasonable to send 30,000 troops to clean up.

But surprisingly, the 30,000 troops did disappear in the end.

"Missing?" Ma Long was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

An Lek frowned, he had also been worried about this matter, "It's just the surface meaning, it's gone, the other party disappears from our sight." ”

"What about the orcs?" Malone asked, "What's the reaction?" ”

"Nope!" "The orcs didn't react in particular, so I suspect they were hiding the army." ”

Ma Long asked puzzledly: "They have the advantage now, why are they hiding?" ”

"That's what I couldn't figure out, they didn't have to do it. If these 30,000 orcs were to join the attack on Los Angeles, I don't think Los Angeles would be able to defend it now. ”

Ma Long lowered his head and pondered, "Then will the other party withdraw its troops?" It's like never attacking the other party.,What is the energy involved? ”

"I don't know. This is a speculation that cannot be confirmed, and we even thought that the other party thought that we were too weak, so they withdrew most of their troops and went back. But these are just speculations, meaningless, and cannot be used as a strategic basis......"

The discussion of the whereabouts of the 30,000 troops of the orcs was fruitless, according to normal strategic analysis, the orcs should not have done this, but the other party did it.

Unsure of what was going on with the orcs, Malone had to remind himself to be as careful as possible when acting.

After discussing the dispatch of troops for tomorrow, the few people in the small conference room were disbanded.

Marlon was arranged to rest in a courtyard not far from the palace.

In the middle of the night, in the palace, Caitlin and Anlek lay in bed.

"What do you think?" The queen asked suddenly.

She asked a little inexplicably, but Anlek could understand the meaning, and it was Malone who was asking.

The two have been together for many years, although there are many feelings to be verified, but there is still a tacit understanding.

An Lek thought for a moment, the figure of Ma Long appeared in his mind, and he was a little unsure of his true character, and said cautiously: "It's similar to the nobles promoted by ordinary commoners, and the other party is not used to today's scene."

"But instead of the arrogance of an outburst or the usual cautiousness, he behaved very blandly, and showed his boredom with the ritual you had arranged......
