The news of Robert escaping with an elven spy soon spread throughout the town.

Led by the Captain of the Half-Elven Guard, dozens of soldiers surrounded Robert's quarters, but they were rightfully swept away.

The half-elves who had nothing to gain had to leave with the people, and the big war was imminent, and they didn't have much time and energy to deal with it.

At this time, the people in the town were panicked, and there were not many people who cared about it, and everyone was more concerned about how to protect themselves in the coming war.

At the same time, everyone also sighed for the fate of the lord, what a good lord, but unfortunately, he probably won't live long.

The lord was so impulsive that he actually killed the elven spy and hung the corpse outside the gate of the town, this behavior will definitely anger the elven army, and now the lord is afraid that even if he wants to surrender, he will not be able to do it.

The people chatted and shook their heads.

There were many impulsive young people who, despite the opposition of their families, spontaneously formed a militia to petition outside the castle, wanting to help the lord resist the enemy, but the lord refused.

"Everyone's kindness, the master of the skill understands it, but the enemy is too strong at the moment, and you are only doing this to increase unnecessary casualties, everyone should disperse, don't let your family worry."

Not only that, but the lord also had the young people's families fetched and asked them to bring their children home.

This action made the lords grateful for the kindness of the lord, and it also confirmed that the lord had made up his mind to die.

The soldiers of the lord's guard were also gathered for a meeting on the training ground, and the captain of the guard conveyed the lord's intention and asked everyone to choose whether to stay or go.

"In this battle, we are not sure of victory, you are only new soldiers, you don't know how to fight, the lord doesn't want everyone to die in vain, so give everyone a chance to choose, if you are willing to stay and live and die with the lord, stand on the left! Get ready to get your gear! If you don't want to, stand on the right! When you get this month's salary, you can go! ”

All the soldiers chose the left.

In the evening, the lord began to ask the steward of Foresh to repay the loan in the castle hall.

There were a lot of people who came to receive money, but it was still much less than when they didn't lend money to the lord.

Not all of the lords are desperate, and some have strong faith in the lord.

For example, the first old Kobe Bryant to lend money to the lord, the tavern owner was shouting at the crowd of drinkers in his tavern, "Look, the lord will teach these treacherous pointy-eared elves a good lesson!" Just like the last time Lord Lords taught those big-eared monsters! I'm sure Hammondale will soon have more Elven POWs to work for the Lord for free! Hahaha......"

This argument has been supported by some people, but there are also people who oppose it: "Unlikely, the elven army is very strong, and they all hit the Devil Kerrigan in the lair of Orver in the last war, although the lord is also very powerful, but after all, there are too few soldiers under his command, I think it is very suspenseful!" ”

Old Kobe Bryant disagreed: "What's wrong with the few soldiers, didn't the dozens of people fight hundreds of big-eared monsters last time, haven't you seen those big-eared monsters who do coolies look scared every time they see the guards of the lord?" If you want me to see, it's good that the elves are coming more, but I'm afraid that if there are few, it won't be enough for the lord to kill! ”

After speaking, old Kobe Bryant laughed secretly in his heart.

The lord is powerful, and he quietly played a trick and took a big advantage.

Wouldn't it be tantamount to giving half of your money to the lord for nothing?

When the lord wins the battle, these guys who retreat from the battle will definitely regret their death! But it's good to guess this kind of thing yourself, but you can't talk nonsense everywhere, and it's not easy for the lord to start from scratch.

The elven spy Kanis, wearing an elven mask on his face, mingled with the crowd of drinkers, silently listening to everyone's conversation in the corner, but he sneered in his heart.

These human pariahs really don't know the height of the sky, and they even think that the lord can resist the army of the elven kingdom, it is simply a dream.

The thought of his companion Ayton being brutally murdered by the evil lord made Kanis furious.

Ayton was scarred and dying before he died, and he didn't know what kind of miserable treatment he had received in the castle, but Kanish could imagine that the human lord must have tortured him for the information Ayton knew.

However, Ayton is good and did not leak any important news, otherwise he would have been arrested a long time ago, which made Kanis, who is Ayton's boss, very pleased.

Therefore, Kanise decided that when the army arrived, he must make a proposal to Lord Ivo, who led the army this time, to capture this damned lord alive, and torture him well before hanging him to avenge Ayton.

Seeing that he had heard nothing useful, Kanise got up and settled the bill, and walked out of the tavern, where he wanted to go back and contact Master Ivo to see when the army would arrive.

It should be soon, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, if the road is not too difficult, it should have arrived today.

Returning to his remote quarters, Kanis was about to open the door when he noticed two figures around the corner of the house.

"Who?" Kanis asked alertly, as he quickly flipped out a short knife in his hand.

"I'm Johnny, Master Kanis! I escaped! Johnny took Robert and nodded out of the shadows.

"Johnny?" Kanis looked at the two of them in disbelief, "Are you still alive?" ”

The capital of the Erathian Empire, Standwick City, Geffenhardt Castle.

Empress Catherine was in her study, looking through the papers that had been sent from all over the place.

Her once beautiful face, due to the pain of losing her father and years of fighting, is now full of vicissitudes and haggardness, but she is still in good spirits.

In order to prevent the empire left by her father from declining and restore the glory of the Griffonheart dynasty, she has worked hard to do everything she can, but unfortunately it backfired, and the situation of the empire not only did not improve, but worsened, although she successfully defeated a series of enemies, but also sent the empire to the state of sunset.

However, Catherine still did not give up, there was still hope for the empire, and a series of talents who rose in the Great War allowed her to see the dawn of the empire's resurgence.

With these loyal people, a wise monarch, and holy alliances with Bracada and Turalleone, the empire will one day become the most powerful empire on the continent.

Instead of being like now, even Tytalia can give himself a headache.

But this wise monarch is destined not to be himself, he is already the queen of the Iron Fist Dynasty of the Enlos Continent, it is impossible to stay in Erathia for a long time to be the empress, those nobles will not agree, and he can't bear to abandon his husband and children.

What's more, her husband Roland has been missing for a long time, there has been no news for so long, his life and death are unknown, and now the Iron Fist Dynasty is only managed by his underage child Nikolai and a regent, how can he rest assured?

Thinking of these troubles, Empress Catherine could not help but fall into deep thought. If it were possible, she really wanted to split herself in two.

"Your Majesty! There is a rush! ”

A soft knock on the door interrupted the Empress's thoughts, drawing her back to reality.

"Come in, what is the intelligence of the area?" Putting down the papers in her hand, the empress gently rubbed her red eyes and motioned for someone outside the door to come in.

Felix, who had been an envoy to Hammondal, walked in softly and handed a document to the Empress: "A magical rush from someone lurking in Hammondale!" ”

"Hammondale?" The empress's face changed slightly, and she had an ominous premonition.

quickly looked for the urgent mail, and only after two glances, the empress was already trembling with anger.

"Parson! You untrustworthy villain! How dare you do that! ”
