According to the offensive route of the War Bear Legion, Duke Baria and his party should have passed through the security administration office before they could reach the Duke's Palace and the Grand Duke's Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The news of the rebellion of the Marquis of Posador spread throughout the city of Ontario in a matter of minutes, like a wild weed. The common people grabbed their wives and daughters, and the misers, with their belongings, began to run desperately towards the outside of the city.

However, as the crowd hurriedly fled in the opposite direction to where the Knights of War Bear were, they saw the Duke's horse team marching in this direction. This scene surprised everyone, because it was already rumored in the city that the Grand Duke of Efe and many of the nobles were already busy fleeing for their lives, so how could they be here?

Some of those who still had hope for the principality suddenly became excited and shouted: "No need to run away, we don't have to run away!" The Duchy has the ability to deal with the rebels, and the Duke is still rushing towards the enemy! ”

Hearing this, some people really stopped running away and cheered vigorously. Then, many began to follow the army of the Duke of Baria against the flow of people. In the eyes of these fanatics, it seems that the current war is not enough to frighten people, but to be very exciting.

However, after letting them follow the team to the security office, most of them began to be confused and did not understand why they stopped here.

And just as the Duke dismounted, there was a sudden situation that frightened everyone present.

"Whoosh!"

Without anyone noticing, a stray arrow flew towards the Duke at great speed. Although the guards around them were very capable, they couldn't react after all, and it was too late to find out.

However, just before the tip of the arrow, coated with deadly poison, entered the flesh of the duke's chest, a black and white shadow suddenly burst out and flew the arrow with its head like a cannonball.

"Ahh

One of the guards beside the Duke screamed and fell to the ground. The poisoned arrow that was supposed to pass him by just now hit him in the heart impartially because of the interference of the vicious dog Pijie.

Pije was sorry for that. However, looking at the expressions of those present, it seemed that no one cared too much about the black-faced guy who was twitching on the ground, but all of them revolved around the Duke of Baria to ask. Half of the guards flocked to the direction where the arrows were flying, only to see the cold corpses of the archers after taking poison.

"A man just killed him and ran away in the other direction!" The enthusiastic civilians around him prompted. The guards didn't follow in the direction they pointed, because there was no point in doing so at the moment, and the only thing that mattered was to protect the Duke of Baria.

Seeing this, Davidson immediately decided: "Immediately cover the duke's entry into the security management office." "At the moment, there are probably a lot of killers sent by Posaddo lurking in this area, and any more stay will be more dangerous.

The vicious dog glanced around the crowd, bared his teeth at the man who had just shown the guards the murderer's escape route, and then swaggered into the courtyard.

Davis was at the forefront to lead the way, while the rest of the group scattered around to protect them. They entered through the outer courtyard, where only a few guards remained, and through a wooded area, into the inner courtyard where Davidson worked and rested.

Along the way, Davidson felt his father behind him from time to time looking towards him, obviously the thoughtful old duke's father had noticed something, but Davidson could only pretend to be stupid at this time. He couldn't admit in front of so many people that he had taken in a few Night Races, otherwise I was afraid that not only himself, but even his father wouldn't know where to put his old face.

After turning a corner, I saw Anne and her group smiling and greeting towards us.

"It's a pleasure to meet you here, Lord Duke."

Duke Baria nodded, and said to Anne with a serious face: "Ma'am, due to the critical situation at present, I do not have time to pay enough respect to you. I'm here to find out what you can do to save the Duchy of Finnier. But before that, I don't mind hearing your terms first. ”

Annie was still unhurried, and first reported to her door: "I think you should know, I am a member of the Night Race. ”

The nerves in the minds of the surrounding guards tensed instantly, and almost reflexively pressed their right hands against the long sword at their waists. Although they were all masters in the Duke's Palace, they were not as experienced in dealing with the Night Race as the clergy, and when they heard this word, they were not only afraid but also afraid.

But the Duke did not make any move, but quietly waited for Anne's next words.

"My condition is that when the current crisis is resolved, the Duchy of Fenier must protect the Night Race within its borders."

The crowd around exploded almost at the same time as Anne spoke. In their eyes, if they really agreed to this condition, it would be tantamount to leading the future of the principality to hell.

"It's not up to me to say this, I have to nod the Archduke Efe himself." Lord Duke frowned slightly, "In addition, if we pass this article, the Half-Moon Alliance will regard the Duchy of Finnier as a rebel, and the final result will be no different from today." ”

But Xiao Nizi shook her head slightly: "My lord, in the current situation, it is you, not the Grand Duke of Efe, who can really control the fate of the principality. Also, I'm not asking the Duchy to officially recognize the legitimacy of the Night Race, as long as the Duchy and the Templars have this in a secret agreement. ”

Pi Jie, who was just an observer, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time, thinking that this little girl was not stupid enough to let the Duchy of Finel become the target of public criticism. A secret agreement is a good way to make the principality's high-level officials justify it on the surface, and to prevent the Night Race from being hunted down by the clergy.

The Duke of Barria, who has been in the political arena for so many years, certainly does not fail to understand the truth of this. After thinking for a moment, the Duke made a direct decision: "Okay, I will agree to your conditions on behalf of the Grand Duke for the time being." ”

"Reinforcements are already on the way." Anne said slyly.

However, this sentence seems inexplicable in the eyes of many people. The Duke also frowned and said suspiciously, "Ma'am, you're not joking with me. ”

"Now our Night Legion is advancing inward from another gate in the city of Ontario, and it will pass through the Grand Duke's Mansion in about ten minutes, and the vanguard team will arrive here in twenty minutes, just in time to encounter the War Bear Cavalry Regiment." Anne's face had a look of pride, "This time, everyone will know who the real hellmaster is." ”
