The City of the Holy Lance, Fort Theo.

Although it was already autumn, the afternoon sun was still scorching, and Bert had to temporarily move the place of the meeting to a pavilion with water on all sides.

"Your Highness, this elven oak pavilion of yours is really comfortable!" Alex. Damyan stretched comfortably.

This kind of exquisite wooden structure is only built by the sub-elves of the Elven Continent, and he has seen two of them in the palace and the castle of the eldest prince in the Holy Spear Kingdom for so many years.

Those royal architects who work for the elven royal family are very arrogant, and they don't accept orders from non-royal families, even if they are rich, they are the same family, and I don't know how many big nobles have bitten their back molars after hearing it.

"You can come here as often as you like." Bert said disapprehantly.

This pavilion was seen by himself in the palace of the queen mother, because he liked to go to the pavilion to enjoy the shade since he was a child, so his father built a slightly smaller pavilion for himself as one of the gifts of his adulthood.

Alex looked at His Highness's undisguised expression, and couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion.

His Royal Highness has always been easy-going and humble, and he is more reserved in his treatment of old ministers, but he treats juniors like him casually as if they were his own elder brothers. If it weren't for the royal guards around him, Alex would really think that he had an extra brother.

"I heard you've met with Morey?" Bert asked, seemingly unintentionally.

Alex knew that this should be the reason why His Highness came to him this time, so he said with a little respect: "Yes! Because of the previous relationship with Tiffany, I made a special trip to Red Leaf City, and I have fought against each other, but they have all been revealed! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not because of that."

Bert smiled and waved his hand, and then handed over the envelopes one by one as he spoke: "Do me a favor and go to Red Leaf City!" ”

......

Unlike his son, facing the scorching sun, Duke at this time. Gladstone, however, was in high spirits and sweated on the palace sword field.

Taking advantage of the gap when the old king knocked the long sword of the opposing guard away, an old man who was not good-looking quickly came to his ear and whispered a few words.

“...... Your Majesty, this is the situation, should we send someone to stop the Damiyan boy? The old man asked.

"Hehe, no! Bill, the young eagle always has to leave the nest to spread its wings! ”

"This son of mine has a bigger heart than me!"

"I didn't take Ire's donkey back then, but this kid wants to take in his son again!"

Although the old king looked like he was smiling, his face was full of pride.

"Your Highness, all this is just learning from Your Majesty!"

"Haha, Bill, you honest man has learned to pat on the back!"

So it's comfortable for honest people to shoot people's ass!

They don't often pat horses, but once they compliment people, others think that this is their heartfelt truth, and they naturally listen to it comfortably.

But Bill's words also reminded the old king of his prosperous years as the crown prince.

"Speaking of which, Bill, you and Mikey and Julien all met me in the Mercenary Guild at the time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! At that time, I thought you were the young master of some chamber of commerce! ”

"Haha, in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed! Julien died in the Battle of Stone River, and Mikey also blocked the sword for me and died on the hospital bed, hey......"

Thinking of his comrades-in-arms who died early, the old king inexplicably looked a little sad.

"Your Majesty, it is our glory to die for you!"

Bill, who had been hunched over, suddenly straightened his back, like a veteran of a hundred battles waiting to be called up at any time.

"Haha, what is dead or alive, now I don't want you to fight!" The old king turned his head, patted his old friend on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

Just turned around, but the corners of his eyes were slightly red for some reason.

Red Leaf Castle, the castle lord's mansion.

"Prince Burt?"

Morey would never have imagined that he would receive a letter from His Royal Highness the prince at this time, and the messenger was still Alex. Damyan is a guy who has had a relationship with him.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who is said to be a candidate for the next king, has never had much to do with him!

"His Royal Highness the Prince can't bear to see a meritorious minister being wronged, so he has fought hard to win a chance for you, Baron Morey!" Alex said this, but there was a deliberate pause.

"What chance?" Morey didn't mind Alex selling Guanzi, but was a little curious about what kind of medicine was sold in the big prince's gourd.

"A chance to prove your innocence!"

......

Saber Fort.

"Do you know why you were framed?" Ios looked at Morey who came in a hurry with a smile.

"Isn't it because Red Leaf City is getting stronger and stronger? Are they afraid they won't be able to hold me down? Morey asked curiously.

"That's just one of them! The real reason, you haven't figured it out yet! Ios shook his head and continued: "This beast tide is the largest in history, and I know that three cities have fallen, and five cities have been greatly reduced in population, do you know what this means? ”

Then, without waiting for Morey's answer, he gave the answer himself.

"Land!"

"A lot of unowned land!"

Morey gradually understood, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Do you know what merchant was the first to enter the Far East after the beast tide?"

"Not a fur merchant, not a grain merchant, but an arms dealer!"

After the beast tide that was much smaller than this before, the little bit of borderland that was created was enough for the Far Eastern nobles to break the dog's brain, and this was because of the pressure of the legendary Ire. The scale of this beast tide is greater than any previous one, and as the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army, it is still the doll Morey, which naturally makes people think otherwise.

"Get this kid down!" This was the idea of a lot of Far Eastern nobles.

One can crush the rapidly growing Red Leaf City, and the other can also expelle a powerful player from the feast of dividing the Borderlands.

If Morey is really allowed to end as the current interim commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army, then he, with nearly 30,000 troops, can definitely enclose all the ownerless land, forming a winner-takes-all situation.

But if they can get him down, not to mention that everyone has a chance to eat on the field, maybe they can dig up a piece of meat on Red Leaf City.

In fact, there is one more thing that Ios has not yet said, and the remaining five cities that have suffered heavy losses are said to have the shadow of the Far Eastern nobility behind.

"Even if you find the real culprit this time, it will definitely take a lot of time."

"In this way, the fruits of success in fighting the beast tide will be eaten by them, and you will at most take the scraps of the temporary commander-in-chief!"

The eldest prince also seemed to mean that he would avoid the Far Eastern struggle and catch the murderer, and he would help him fight for the life of the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army.

Then Ios's tendency is more obvious, as a localist in the Far East, Ios tends to give up on arresting the murderer and go directly to rob the ownerless land.

Although the position of commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army is no longer there, Morey's Saber Fort Saber Iron Guard, Red Leaf City Guard, militia and barbarian volunteers add up to more than 10,000, and they can already wrestle with the master's family.

Even if it's not the only player in the Far East, it's one of the biggest players in the pie.

But......

"I want both!"
