At the castle in the center of Fort Riptide, a man with black hair and black eyes sits on the top of the castle and looks at the rejuvenating city, where many humans are busy rebuilding their homes.

A gust of wind came out and lifted his shirt, and a sleeve fluttered in the wind, and it was actually empty!

This was the tenth day after the Battle of Fort Riptide, and as a result of that battle, Fort Riptide was destroyed in half, the castle in the city center was severely damaged, and the inner city was completely destroyed.

The entire inner city was burned into a pile of lava, which flowed outward along the terrain, creating a very wide and gentle slope, which extended outward into the sea, and solved a big problem for Fort Riptide, which had been close to the sea but was located two or three thousand meters above sea level, and had been unable to build a harbor.

If the city is expanded properly, not only will it not be inferior to Stormwind, but it will also have a sense of history, and Leo believes that the Arassol nobles under Scarlett's leadership will complete it.

The idea is not that he has faith in the nobles, but that he has faith in Scarlett and the Lothar family behind her.

Leo only now understands why there are so few strong men in the Aracor Coalition in the Valley of Refuge, and it turns out that the problem lies with the royal family of the Arasso Kingdom, a royal family of multiple families.

The Torbain family, who are now in charge of the royal family of Arazao, is really not rich compared to the Lothar family, and more than seventy percent of the strong people in the entire Arathor are under the orders of the Lothar family, which has caused the fact that the power led by the Torbain family has a serious lack of control over the kingdom of Arazao.

Usually this situation is not visible, because the strong people who obey the orders of the Lothar family have always done their best for the kingdom, but in a critical moment, these people will not fight to the death for the Torbain family. Why Riptide Castle fell so quickly, in addition to the Shadow Council and the Syndicate of Farkurest quietly joining forces with the undead of the Undercity, only a small number of strong people in Riptide Castle are willing to resist desperately is also an extremely important reason.

In fact, if it weren't for the protection of Scarlett, the only orthodox bloodline of the Lothar family, and giving her enough time to grow up, the royal family of the Kingdom of Araso would have broken out a long time ago. How could the Lothar family, who had once ruled the kingdom and was the most powerful, watch the Tolbain family easily ascend to the throne after the death of the Grand Duke of Lothar?

"Scarlett, this stupid girl, she has too much contact with Guangwei in the Cathedral of Light, and she thinks too much about the world." Leo couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the piece of information in his hand, "Galen, you are really a hero." ”

"Lord Leo, how are we going to deal with this?"

A warrior with a scar on his face stood respectfully behind Leo, who was none other than Viri, the leader of Leo's five hundred dragonblood guards.

"Leave this to Scarlett, some things have to be chosen by the parties themselves."

Leo looked up at the sky, his gaze deepened, Scarlett, what choice would you make after knowing the truth?

Bang!

The hard stone table groaned unbearably, and then struck as cracks spread—turning into a pile of rubble.

Scarlett looked at Verry blankly, with a look of disbelief in her eyes, if it was someone else, she would have drawn her sword with the temper of a female knight, but this person is Verry, Leo's subordinate, he represents Leo's meaning, even if the female knight doesn't want to believe it, she must consider the real surname of this matter.

"Galen, bastard!"

"The soul of the Torbain family!"

The hall was filled with the roars of the mighty, all of whom belonged to the Lothar family.

Although Leo meant to let Scarlett make her own choice, Verry still saw that Leo was very dissatisfied with Galen, so Verry chose an opportune time to shake out the information in his hand while Scarlett and the powerhouses of the Lothar family were discussing in the hall.

"Lord Verry, you said that Prince Galen deliberately let His Royal Highness Scarlett leave the Valley of Refuge to come to Fort Riptide, is there any evidence?"

This was the first reaction of the strong after Veri revealed the information he had inadvertently learned.

The stakes are so high that they dare not draw any conclusions without evidence.

Evidence?

Viri certainly has, and the evidence is very strong.

A Philosopher's Stone that records sounds and images, a Philosopher's Stone quietly slipped to him by a commander named Amaron as he left the Valley of Refuge for Fort Riptide.

There is not much information recorded in the Philosopher's Stone, just a few words of conversation between the two people, but it is these few lines of conversation that cause an uproar, because the message in these few sentences clearly indicates that Prince Galen gave the commander of the Refuge Valley, Amaron, an order to deliberately leave a flaw in the arrangement of guards for Scarlett to pass.

Letting Scarlett out of the Valley of Refuge, judging from the circumstances at the time, Galen clearly intended to let her go to Riptide Castle alone.

This is going to kill Scarlett!

With the danger level of Riptide Castle at that time, Scarlett, a paladin from the legendary realm, came alone, and it must have been more than lucky. In fact, if it weren't for Leo's strength far exceeding everyone's estimates, Scarlett would have been killed by Facurrest a long time ago.

As soon as Scarlett died, the strong men of the Lothar family had no object of allegiance, and Prince Galen was able to win over in time, and it was almost a sure thing that these strong men who did not belong to the Tolbain family would turn to Galen, after all, the Tolbain family was also the royal family of Alatho.

After knowing this, Leo couldn't help but sigh, Galen was really calculating.

Perhaps it was some gossip between Scarlett and Leo that reached Galen's ears and made him think that there was some special relationship between the two men. He put on a posture of asking Leo to come to Riptide Castle not really to ask Leo to rescue Scarlett, in addition to posing in front of everyone, Galen also wanted to provoke Leo's hatred for the Syndicate and the Shadow Council.

Because Prince Galen estimates that it is no problem to protect himself with Leo's strength, but it is impossible to save people from the pseudo-legendary Facurrest, Scarlett died in the hands of Facurrest, Leo will definitely hate the Syndicate very much in his heart, and after the two sides have a common enemy, he will make a move, and Leo will be easily pulled into his camp by him.

Galen's plan is very feasible, but unfortunately he meets Leo, a traverser, and things suddenly take a turn for the worse.

Leo killed Farcurrest very powerfully, Scarlett did not die, and then Fort Rapids, which was controlled by the Shadow Council, was also recaptured, and after learning that Scarlett had recaptured Fort Rapids, the Lothar family suddenly appeared, this situation made Galen hesitate, and he didn't dare to leave immediately.

Is the demigod aura that appears at Riptide Castle the hidden power of the Lothar family?

This question worries Galen, causing him to do something he regrets - he asks Amaron to see him off when Verry takes the Dragonblood Guards to Riptide Castle.

For Amaron, Galen is very trusting. This is a strong female warrior and a talent that Galen is in great need.

Although Amaron was not from a commoner's background, a dilapidated little aristocratic family was no different from a commoner in the eyes of the prince, because their life was not much better than that of a commoner except for the status of a nobleman, and many young ladies from dilapidated aristocratic families even had to marry commoners.

Such a small nobleman is very easy to be co-opted by the superiors, and Galen is very confident in himself, as a prince, he shows enough reliance on Amalon, which in his opinion is enough to make Amaron willing to be driven by him.

However, there are always surprises.

In Amaron's view, this is a manifestation of the Tolbane family's ineffective governance, otherwise her family would not have been broken, and she would not have been a noble lady to fall into the company of commoners and have been in danger many times.

Thinking about some of what happened to him before he became a commander, Amalen didn't have any affection for the Tolbanes.

Once heaven, but now it is hell, and the contrast between the family's past glory and her own hard life has made Amaron quickly fall to the Lothar family, and the female commander who has risen to prominence in the Valley of Refuge has quietly sided with Scarlett. It's just that she was very clever and didn't show it, and she still carried out Prince Galen's orders, but after Scarlett recaptured Riptide Castle and the Lothar family showed the strength to regain the throne, Amaron immediately seized the opportunity to show favor to her, and quietly revealed Galen's plot.

Even Leo was shocked to learn that the Philosopher's Stone was given to Veri by Amalen, he really didn't expect that Amaron would quietly stab Galen, this woman hates the Torbain family so much? I don't understand, Leo sighs and doesn't understand.

Perhaps, because of the family's ruin, Amaron has experienced something bad, which has caused her to have a strong grudge against the ruling Tolbane family. Leo could only infer that, he didn't know that his inference was close to the truth.

"Quiet!"

Because of the evidence brought by Verry, a voice suddenly sounded in the noisy hall, and a man with black hair and black eyes slowly entered from outside the hall, and a strong sense of oppression made the strong people in the hall shut up one after another.

"Greetings to you, Lord Leo!"

The powerhouses of the Lothar family saluted Leo one after another, although there were ten strong people in the hall who were the same epic as Leo, but they didn't dare to have the slightest control, the lord in front of them could kill pseudo-legends, and fight hard for the existence of demigods, which was not at the same level as their epics.

Looking at Leo's empty right sleeve, the epic powerhouses added in their hearts: Although the cost of fighting demigods is very large, if they can do it with epic strength, Leo can naturally be worthy of being called an adult.

This is the respect of the strong for the stronger.
