After receiving an affirmative reply from the Duke of Barria, the various squads of the Night Race began to retreat outside the city of Ontario. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This process lasted for several hours, during which some uneyed people peeked out of their houses as spectators, and blood was splattered on the spot.

Kyle, the Night Mage who leads the entire team, turns a blind eye to the actions of his Night Races. He didn't like people with too much curiosity, so he acquiesced to his men's behavior, even though Anne asked the Night Crew to stop killing during the retreat. It's normal for the night race to like to kill.

The Public Security Administration has become the temporary command center of the Duke of Barria, and while the Night Race has all been evacuated outside the city gates, the aftermath has been arranged in an orderly manner.

Among the people who were lucky enough not to die around the Duke of Baria, in addition to the loyal guards and a few family members, there were also some nobles and nobles. After walking around the ghost gate, these guys were unexpectedly reused by the Duke. The Duke of Baria promised them that if he found the Archduke Efe, he would recommend that they be given a knighthood.

Subsequently, a steady stream of liaison officers were dispatched, and those who had been promised to be knighted were scattered throughout Ontario.

Among the few remaining high-ranking personnel in the principality, Anne and her party undoubtedly seemed more unusual. Everyone now knew that they were the highest-ranking leaders of the Night Race, but they didn't treat them with extreme enthusiasm. Instead, everyone turned away from them, clearly terrified of the Night Races.

Anne and the others were not polite, and found a place to sit down. Pije lay on the ground in the posture of an ordinary dog, watching the movements of the people around him coldly.

"Your Excellency, the bodies of those whom Lord Davidson sent out to rescue Archduke Effie have been found, and upon our examination, they have been found to be completely destroyed. The Grand Duke was not found in the rubble, and his life and death were unknown. ”

Hearing the news from the liaison officer, Duke Barria's face looked very bad. He looked at the big nobles who were guarding him, and said in a heavy voice: "I am afraid that the Grand Duke of Efe will be more than lucky this time. Due to the lack of preparation of the guards, the Grand Duke suffered such a catastrophe, and I, as a duke, have a great responsibility for this matter. ”

After such high-sounding words, the Duke of Baria was naturally relieved by the other nobles. No one is stupid enough to really think that the Duke is self-reflecting. On the contrary, the scheming Duke Baria said this in an attempt to prove through someone else's mouth that it was a complete accident.

"Lord Duke, it's not your fault that this kind of thing happened, no one would have thought that Posador would be such a vicious person."

"When the enemy is outnumbered, the Duke is able to seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, which is enough to prove that you are a very qualified leader."

Everyone said everything they could, and they all tacitly did not mention the Night Race, but put all the merits on the Duke of Baria.

The Duke of Baria still had a sad expression, as if he still felt that he had a great deal of responsibility for the matter. However, he didn't really think like this in his heart, but was eagerly looking forward to something.

The afterglow of his eyes glanced at the cronies beside him, intentionally or unintentionally. The latter vaguely read something from this gaze, but did not have the courage to say the information he received: the Duke of Baria wanted to replace the Grand Duke of Efe as the new supreme leader of the duchy.

Of course, this kind of thing is not good to come out of his mouth, so Baria can only hope for other nobles. As long as one person supports him as the new Grand Duke, the other nobles are likely to follow this word.

But the problem is that the body of the Grand Duke of Efe has not been found at the moment. If the Grand Duke emerges from somewhere, the situation will be complicated by then.

In the midst of this man's hesitation, Sheriff Davidson suddenly said loudly, "The Grand Duke of Efe may still be alive." ”

Everyone looked back in amazement. Piger, who was already drowsy, also woke up at this time, and looked the knight up and down with his shiny dog eyes.

Davidson walked up to the crowd: "I sent two teams to rescue the Grand Duke of Efe, in addition to the team that was completely wiped out by you, there is also a team secretly composed of several of my personal guards. Each of these people has their own skills, one of them is good at disguise, one is good at detection and camouflage, and the other two are very strong in defense and attack. I think that with them, the Grand Duke of Efe would probably have survived. ”

The vicious dog opened its mouth, yawned widely, and passed the conclusions he had drawn about Davidson's actions to Anne through the psychic connection: "This idiot! ”

Everyone present was silent. Duke Baria's expression seemed to be even more solemn than just now, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly heard an unusually clear running sound from the door.

"Archduke Efe is fine, Archduke Efe is here!"

A herald ran in from the doorway panting, not seeming to notice the subtle atmosphere, but hurriedly reported: "Lord Duke, the Grand Duke of Efe, under the protection of several guards, has arrived at the door of the Sheriff's Office. ”

Duke Barria suddenly felt something stir up in his heart, and squinted first at his son Davidson, then at the surrounding nobles, and finally at the herald.

In the next second, a big smile suddenly bloomed on the duke's face, as if he had encountered the happiest thing in the world.

"Is the Grand Duke okay? Hahaha, it seems that the conspiracy of that careerist of Posado has no effect at all. Ladies and gentlemen, go out with me to meet the Grand Duke. ”

Then the Duke of Baria took the lead and followed the herald as he strode towards the door. The moment the Duke turned his head, no one would notice how ugly the expression on his face became. The other nobles glanced at each other and walked out.

"Let's go out and have a look." Anne said, "I don't know if there will be any good things to watch next." ”

"Fun?" Alice, a water tank girl with a good and bad brain, seemed to understand something at this moment, and asked in a low voice, "Is the Duke of Baria going to fight with the Grand Duke of Efe?" ”

Anne smiled: "I'm afraid it's not just about fighting. These two old guys are now bitter enemies. ”

Bols, who hadn't spoken much, looked very confused at this time, obviously not figuring out what was going on. He and Davidson are projected into each other on two planes. Sheriff Davidson didn't know what his father was thinking, and Pols certainly couldn't either.
