Before nightfall, the fully loaded Daiun returned to the Rhineberg.

Because it is necessary to bring back all the survivors of the Senbo family, there is basically no spare capacity for the airship to carry others. Lord Sembo had to leave in a hurry with some of the most valuable tenders, and the rest of his possessions were to be collected after the war.

"Welcome, Lord Senbo." For the future first vassal of the new Rhineberg, Moriarty greeted him personally on the castle square.

"Your Excellency, the Sambo family will always remember your kindness. In this, I'm Cassiu. Senbo swears that the Senbo family will be loyal to you and your family for generations to come. ”

Although Lord Sembo was almost old enough to be Moriarty's grandfather, when he saw the master of New Rhineberg, he naturally and voluntarily swore allegiance to him.

The politics of the aristocracy is like this, the weak show loyalty to the strong, and the low serve the high, which is no longer justified. So neither the Lord himself nor Moriarty felt anything wrong. What's more, some words, some things, Hadro has already explained to the old lord thoroughly. Whether it is the current war against demons or the establishment of a new political and political pattern after the war, if the Senbo family wants to maintain the glory of the past or even go further, they must hug Olympus's thighs. Otherwise, if you are negligent, I am afraid that the fate of the Luo Yanta family will fall on the head of Senbo.

"Sir, I sincerely welcome the Sembo family to the family. However, it is still wartime, and I myself have not received any knighthood from the kingdom for the time being, so I am afraid that the official vassal oath ceremony of your family will be postponed a little longer. "Kindly take the old lord's hand. Moriarty half-officially, half-jokingly.

"My lord, the oath-taking ceremony is just a common ceremony, and the loyalty of the Senbo family will not be shaken in the slightest because of this." Lord Senbo immediately smiled: "Moreover, with your martial arts and strength, it is more than enough to obtain the position of baron." Even, the Viscount is not without hope. The Sembo family can become your vassals, and you are truly convinced. ”

Kidding aside, I've seen how the Naga, the Dwarves, and the Iron Fist Company of War have wiped out hundreds of demonic armies in a devastated manner. With such experience, Lord Sembo had made up his mind to be firmly tied to the chariot of Olympus.

"Hehe, I know what the Lord wants. In the future, we will live up to Senbo's loyalty. Moriarty nodded. Smile with satisfaction.

The old lord then introduced his immediate family to the new lord.

With the exception of one wife, the old lord's son had died in the previous demonic invasion, leaving only a wife and daughter's widow. Seemingly. In the future, the position of head of the Senbo family will fall to his granddaughter Vivien.

"Your Excellency. Hats off. ”

Vivian. Sambo is now only fifteen years old. But he was already slender, and when he faced the surprisingly young Moriarty, he blushed for a while and muttered something that could not be said. And see this. Whether it was White and the others around him, or the old lord on the other side, their eyes changed, as if they had their own thoughts.

"Well, there's no need to be polite."

Moriarty only smiled faintly, and let the girl step aside.

Then, the Olympus side hosted a small dinner in the inner castle to welcome the Senbo family. I don't know if I got the news in advance, but during the dinner, Haiyuna also attended as the hostess, and accompanied Moriarty to warmly entertain the "newcomer" Senbo family. Seeing this, not only Moriarty was very excited, but even White, Guderian and other cronies were also very happy. However, when she saw the graceful and beautiful Hayruna gently accompanying Moriarty, Miss Vivien's eyes couldn't help but show a deep sense of disappointment, and even the old lord on the side sighed secretly.

After the dinner, Lord Sembo and his family were placed in a detached compound near the Inner Castle. Even if they are cronies, except for their own family members or personal guards, they are not qualified to live in the lord's mansion for a long time. As for the other private soldiers, attendants, and freemen of the Senbo family, except for a few of the closest servants, they were all arranged separately by the Olympics according to the rules and prepared to be "digested".

"Haiyna..."

However, after smiling and sending off the Lord's family, no matter how much Moriarty tried to keep her, Haiyuna returned to her room again without saying a word. It's just that before leaving, I don't know if I couldn't help it after all, my fiancée gently hugged Moriarty, and then left in tears and silence.

Looking at Haiyna's back, Moriarty suddenly felt heartache and couldn't help herself.

I don't know how long later, when White came back to find him, he saw a figure of Xiao Suo sitting alone in a corner with blood on his hands. I couldn't think of what to say, and after bandaging the other party briefly, White took a few bottles of Lester without using a cup, and drank directly with him and sat in silence all night.

With the addition of the Senbo family, although it did not improve much on the overall strength of Rhineberg, it was of great political significance. Not only did it stabilize the minds of many people internally, after all, as an old nobleman, Sambo was able to recognize Moriarty's status as the sovereign, which proved the legitimacy and legal status of New Rhineberg, which was quite helpful to stabilize the hearts of ordinary people; And when it was learned that the Senbo family was successfully rescued by Olympus, whether it was Salk, or McLiren, or Ensberg, they were also very excited. As a county of nobles, it can be said that they are in the same spirit, and Moriarty's action this time has fully proved his determination and ability to fulfill the agreement of the Quadripartite Alliance, and the next step is to launch a human counterattack across Kent.

And just when the military and political affairs were operating normally and the external purge was nearing the end of the operation, an unexpected visitor suddenly visited Rheinberg.

In the castle square, a goblin airship only a quarter the size of the Great Cloud had slowly descended. From the open porthole, a bright-eyed woman dressed in men's clothes walked down quickly.

"Isn't it surprising, Lord Moriarty?" Glancing at the ironclad infantry who were surrounded by a circle and watching on alert, the woman suddenly smiled brightly.

"Indeed, I really didn't expect you to come to Rheinberg suddenly. You're still being a little too reckless, though, and if the situation weren't good right now, my turret might have shot you down. Looking at the pretty woman who had come to him a few steps, Moriarty also smiled slightly: "Welcome, Vice President Eve." ”

It turned out that the person who came turned out to be Eve, the vice president of the Doro Chamber of Commerce in Blue Crystal City. Theseis is also the daughter of the president of the Doro Chamber of Commerce. Previously, when he was in Bracada, Moriarty had a lot of business dealings with the Doro Chamber of Commerce, and also maintained trade contacts with the Ensberg family and the Moon River Mage Guild through the channels of the chamber, so he was quite familiar with Eve herself.

"Thank you." It was really like an old friend meeting, and Eve actually took the initiative to step forward and give each other a deep hug, so that Moriarty could only open his hands and not move.

"This is the airship of the Doro Chamber of Commerce?"

Finally "getting rid of" the woman's intimate contact, Moriarty invited her into the inner castle parlor, asking as he walked.

"Of course... No. Eve glanced at the other party directly, and pretended to be helpless: "Do you think that anyone like you can capture one from the goblin clan and return it to their own use." This airship was leased from the goblins by the connections of the Guò City Lord's Mansion with great difficulty, and it is not only old, but also ridiculously expensive. Compared to your big cloud number, it can be scrapped directly into the garbage heap. ”

"Hehe, airships are the weapons of the goblins. Even if there is a complete truce and the north and the south are unified, it is not easy for the northern city-states to rent, let alone others. Naturally, Moriarty was not confused by Eve's pretentious gesture, and asked, "Are you returning from a long adventure from Aquamarine City, are you transiting in the Rhineberg, or..."

"Naturally, I came all the way to find you, Lord Moriarty." Before Moriarty could finish speaking, Eve had already grabbed the white way.

"Don't mention the word 'adult', you and I know each other, and I'm not an 'adult'." For the woman's teasing, Moriarty could only laugh.

"Why can't you be an adult? Hehe, the story of your 'First War to Settle the Rhine' has spread so much that even Bracada knows about it. And later, even a demon Extreme Dao was beheaded by your Olympus, such a majestic record really earned enough face for the 'Blue Crystal City Chronicles-Wish Army', and even Lady Cold Spring came forward to summon His Excellency Schmidt. ”

"Lady Cold Spring summoned her uncle?" Hearing Schmidt's name, Moriarty stopped joking and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, just two weeks ago." Eve affirmed, "According to some 'small news', it seems that the Lord of the City intends to transfer you and Olympus back to Blue Crystal City. ”

"Transfer back?" Moriarty suddenly smiled: "Could it be that Bracada's war against demons has changed?" ”

"Not really." Eve shook her head directly: "As far as I know, under the continuous offensive of the North-South Alliance, the demon legions in Bracada have been basically wiped out, and even the big demons have died several times. ”

With the military strength of the Mage's Hometown and the strength of the Great Arcanist, as long as there is no civil strife, the mainland can be called invincible in the national war, and there is also a huge geographical advantage of the ice field, it is naturally expected that the invading demon army can be quickly wiped out.

"Then why does the lord of the castle still have..."

"Because the joint council of city lords has officially communicated the request for help from the royal family of Erathia, and will soon send a regular army into the human kingdom to fight against demons."

"Send a regular army into Erathia..."

Hearing this answer, Moriarty couldn't help but be stunned, and then exhaled a long breath.

There is no doubt that if what Eve says is correct, then a turning point in Erathia's war against demons is approaching. Regardless of Bracada, once the Holy Alliance's reinforcements officially enter, it will also mark the official start of the counteroffensive on the Standwell side. This means that time is running out for Moriarty, for Rheinberg, for Kent. If enough new territory could not be captured before the arrival of the royal army, the distribution of benefits after the war would be an empty phrase.

"So, what did you come to me for?"

Pressing the agitation in his heart, Moriarty turned his head and asked with a smile. (To be continued......)
