After returning to the room in a state of confusion, Jian Chen immediately locked the door, and then opened the scroll with reverence.

Felix said it so solemnly, which shows the importance of this secret order.

The content of the secret order is not much, and it can be summarized in two aspects.

The first aspect is the issue of the Guards.

Although Lord Chen Jian's guard has been expanded to five hundred, the secret order says that he himself can only form a guard of two hundred people, and the remaining three hundred people Her Majesty the Empress will select the elite from the army and assign outstanding generals to lead the team, all of which will be carried out in secret, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to hide from the spies of the elves.

The weapons and equipment of these three hundred people and all the expenses will be borne by the empire, and what Chen Jian has to do is to cooperate with the assigned generals to become an important military force of the Erathia Empire in Hammondal, breaking the old situation that the Erathia Empire could not garrison troops in Hammondale in one fell swoop, and firmly holding the strategic place of Hammondale in the hands of the empire.

The second aspect is the problem of fortifications.

Her Majesty plans to build a small, permanent military fort at Hammondal, where the Empress will be manned by three hundred men. In the same way, all the expenses for the operation of this fortress do not need to be paid by Jian Chen, and the empire will take care of it itself.

However, this relatively excessive action is very likely to provoke the wrath of the Tularian elves who are also eyeing Hammondal, so the castle of Harmondale will be renovated and reinforced as a buffer before the fort is built. If the Elven Kingdom really can't resist using troops against Harmondale when the fortress is built, Chen Jian and the generals appointed by the empress must rely on Hammondale Castle to stand by and wait for reinforcements.

In the end, the secret decree also said that if Chen Jian could see this secret order, it meant that he had passed the test of the empress's henchman Felix and gained the trust of Her Majesty, and as a reward for his loyalty to Her Majesty, Chen Jian would receive a griffon medal, which has always been awarded only to nobles who have made great achievements.

As soon as he became a nobleman, he received the Order of the Griffin, and the Grand Lord Chen Jian set a new record.

It's a pity that Queen Catherine's flattering eyes on Chen Jian can't help but feel like a pearl is secretly cast, Chen Jian doesn't want medals, only gold coins, the more the better.

It's just that there are so many rewards today, but there are no gold coins, and Chen Jian is depressed.

Another depressing thing is that the lord has been stunned for a long time, but he didn't expect how he passed the test of Felix mentioned in the secret order, it seems that he has been crying since listening to the content of the commendation order, when is there any test? How did you get through?

The lord, who had no clue at all, didn't expect that it was his sincere tears that deeply moved Felix's envoy.

Sincere tears shed for the gold coins.

But because of this, the lord is even more depressed. Passed the inexplicable test inexplicably, and received this empress secret order inexplicably, it seems that he has fallen into a huge quagmire, and it seems that it is not so easy to figure it out.

If she didn't say anything else, she said that if she ran away after being injured as originally planned, would Empress Catherine send someone to chase and kill her because she was afraid that the content of the secret order would be leaked?

You must know that the relationship between the Elasia Human Empire and the Elven Kingdom is not an ordinary tension, and if the content of this secret order is really leaked, it will definitely become the fuse of a full-scale war between the two countries.

If the empress didn't want to go to war yet, she, who knew the contents of the secret order, would really have to die to thank the world.

Can you escape the hunt of an empire? Chen Jian is not unconfident in this issue, but completely unconfident.

Even if there are a few more masters like the half-elf Pete around him, it won't be enough.

Jian Chen now regrets why he reached out to receive this secret order at that time.

Felix said it so clearly, he was stupid enough to take it, isn't this a lantern in the toilet - looking for death ()?

I'm really sick and confused.

Be a cocoon and bind yourself, suffer from yourself, and you can't live if you do your own evil.

Chen Jian gritted his teeth and gnashed his teeth in the room, trying to find someone to beat him.

Do you want to leave this secret order to the Elven Kingdom and seek their protection? In this way, it will not be so easy for the empress to hunt down and kill herself.

Jian Chen thought about it for a long time, and felt that the only way to save a small life was this.

At that time, it is not bad to be a rich man in the elf kingdom, I heard that the elf woman is called a beautiful one, if you can marry an elf woman as a wife, it will be worth it. However, looking at the fate of Pete's father, this matter is a bit difficult.

And it doesn't seem to be a bit righteous to do this, if you cause a war and a lot of people die because you run away, I'm afraid that you will have a bad conscience for the rest of your life.

Absconding with the money is one thing, and it is another thing to make a living miserable, although Chen Jian is not a good person, he is not bad to that extent.

Especially in this kind of major right and wrong, Chen Jian is very principled.

More importantly, what kind of attitude will the elven kingdom use towards itself? Speaking of which, I am a human, not an elf.

And if the situation is not as you think, or if the two sides fight back and forth and negotiate peace, then your fate will be very dangerous.

What's more, putting his life in the hands of others is not Jian Chen's character.

Could it be that this lord can only go now?

At least here, I have the right to have money, soldiers and food, and at least I won't be powerless to fight back if I have anything.

Distraught, Jian Chen decided to take a break, and he asked him to carry himself to the highest part of the castle wall, looking at the sky in a daze.

Today's weather is good, the sky is very blue, and there are a few white clouds of different shapes floating on it.

The sky here is the same as the sky of the earth, or rather, there is no difference.

When looking at the sky, Jian Chen always has a feeling of unreality.

Will he lower his head and find that Huo Ran is actually still on the earth?

He suddenly couldn't understand himself, what did he want?

At first, when he came to this world, all he thought about was how to survive in this world.

He worked hard to learn the language of the world, learn all kinds of skills, and learn to survive in the chaotic land of Erathia.

Later, under the deception of Markham, he inexplicably became a lord, and originally thought that he could live a stable and prosperous life from now on, no longer have to run around for money, get up early and be greedy, and can live a happy life in the style of a landlord and old wealth.

In Chen Jian's understanding, the lord, the lord of a piece of land, is a landlord and an old wealth.

When Chen Jian was a child, when he was still watching open-air movies in the barn under his hometown, he had already begun to deeply envy the happy life of the landlords and old fortunes in the movie.

How good, there are fish and meat in the meal, you can bully people casually, and there are a lot of obedient dog-legged thugs.

This was a great temptation for Xiao Chen Jian, who ate pickles every day and was beaten every day in school at that time, and as for the heroes in those movies, they were all selectively ignored by him.

Unexpectedly, this lord was not good, not only did he not reap the benefits, but instead trapped himself in the siege of the big-eared monsters and this Hammondal, who was very likely to be in war.

In order to get out of this dangerous place, I made great efforts and put in a lot of hard work, and now I am finally full of merit, but unfortunately I am seriously injured.

After all, he wants to leave Hammondale and get rich, but he wants to continue to survive in this world.

In this world that he has not fully understood so far, Chen Jian just wants to live well, and in his subconscious, he has always thought that maybe one day, the way home will suddenly appear in front of him, just like when he first came to this world.

Or perhaps, when he wakes up one morning, he will find that he is still lying in that rented little house, and everything is just his own dream.

Then, he can happily take the car back to his hometown and call affectionately: "Dad!" Mother! I am back! ”

Then, find a girl you like, not too beautiful but very virtuous, marry, live a life that ordinary people should live, give birth to a son or daughter, raise them, watch him grow up, succeed in his career, marry a wife or marry, and wait to hold a grandson.

Then, you will grow old until the day of death.

Then he died quietly like this, this is the way Chen Jian wants to die, not in this chaotic and disorderly world full of war and death every day, and being killed by enemies or monsters for no apparent reason.

I don't belong to this world.

I'm from another world.

Chen Jian silently repeated these two sentences in his heart.

Although he also understands that the possibility of going back is very small, it is not so easy to integrate into a new world, not to mention, there may not be no chance of going back.

In the past on Earth, how could I have thought that I would travel through?

Anything is possible.

I can't die here, I'm going to live until the day I can go home.

The day I went home.

Jian Chen's fists clenched, and the green tendons on his hands bulged. His eyes were determined, and he had a purpose.

With a long exhale, he smiled.

In that case, let me do something and live well in this world.

"Someone's coming!" Jian Chen shouted.

"Your Lord!" Pete appeared in front of Jian Chen with two soldiers.

"Tell me to go! I'm going to continue the interview, and I'm going to do it myself, and I'm going to do it myself!" ”

"But my lord, your body ......" The half-elf hesitated.

"Don't let me repeat it a second time!"

"As you wish, my lord!" The half-elf had no choice but to retreat.

In the open space in front of Hammondale Castle, the people were once again surrounded by water.

Envoy Felixter was also curious to stand behind the lord with the old butler, he wanted to take a good look at what was so good about this lord.

In the secret report sent back to Standwick City by the spies, it was repeatedly emphasized that the lord was clever and successfully opened the situation with nothing, which can be described as a model of self-made, and was deeply loved by the lords, and he also trained his troops well, and successfully defeated the attack of the big-eared monsters inside and outside with only more than forty soldiers.

The report made no mention of the undead being present, as the hapless Lich Lord and his undead warrior were killed by Miss Temple before they could enter the city, and even their bodies were charred and blackened, leaving only a roughly humanoid form. Although the militia saw the battle, due to the darkness and the lich's successful disguise, they did not know that those people were undead spirits, and only thought that they were human mage scum and warriors who had joined the big-eared monsters.

Although Miss Temple later shouted such a voice on the Street of Blood, the situation was chaotic at the time, and no one except the big-eared monster who was close to her heard it, and after the battle, with Miss Temple's strange personality, it was impossible to talk to anyone about it.

The captured big-eared monsters knew about these things, but everyone treated them as ordinary bandits, and no one interrogated them at all, and the lord had some doubts about the combat effectiveness of the big-eared monsters and wanted to ask them, but after waking up from injury, he forgot about them.

Therefore, until now, apart from Miss Temple herself and the sixty-eight big-eared monsters, no one in the group of lords, including the lord, knew that the big-eared monsters were involved in the incident, and the Erathian spies had no way of knowing.

There is no doubt about the first two points mentioned in the intelligence, whether it is Empress Catherine or Felix, and it is not surprising that there are such talents among the commoners, and many generals in the Empress's army have been promoted from civilians, such as the famous general Christine, who used to be just a pirate.

This is also one of the reasons why Empress Catherine has a good eye for Chen Jianqing.

But when it comes to military talent, not to mention the battle-hardened Empress Catherine, even Felix, who doesn't understand military affairs at all, doesn't believe it.

Commanding more than forty human spearmen to defeat five hundred big-eared monsters, Empress Catherine can't do it unless she has a magician like this lord.

Empress Catherine and Felix agreed that the lord's victory was entirely due to the help of the mysteriously appearing sorceress, otherwise he would have been doomed by the attack of the big-eared monsters, as is evident from the fact that the lord was seriously injured with the help of the magician.

This guy doesn't understand military affairs at all! Just a little luckier! This was Empress Catherine's final word.

Of course, the secret report of the spy could not write the details so clearly, and the situation of the fierce battle on the Avenue of Blood was a passing pass, which naturally did not attract the attention of Empress Catherine in the slightest.

But now, Felix decided to take a good look at the lord's abilities and whether the lords' attitude towards him was really as good as the secret report said.

(The second update, it's still a sincere 4,000 words, do you still have tickets and collections?) Childe will work hard! ）
