Julian's welcome banquet was held in General Roland's mansion, as he said, it was indeed not very extravagant, the huge mansion was not as splendid as the lords' mansions built in various places, and it was not even as exquisite as the lord's mansion in Oak Town, the empty hall was full of displays of swords and armor, and the walls were decorated with the heads of hunting monsters, and Julian sat in the main seat of the long table, with a rock-solid crowd on one side and a high-ranking officer of Wellenburg on the other.

Lin Yiyi was very interested in those beast head decorations, and felt around the teeth of the demon wolf with her mouth open, and with Shi Zhengyang's light cough, she honestly returned to her seat.

"Don't be so casual in someone else's house." Zhao Ziyu left a "you are very ashamed" look.

Lin Yiyi pursed her lips, turned her head and played with the silver knife and fork on the table again.

After everyone was seated, the servant brought all kinds of ingredients, the food here was mostly meat-based, and when the lid was lifted, the smell of spices hit, Lin Yiyi screamed in her stomach, and immediately wanted to reach out.

After Mu Lan suppressed her restless little hand, Lin Yiyi muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you eat yet, I'm hungry and crazy after fighting for so long." ”

"Polite, polite! The master hasn't spoken yet! Zhao Ziyu covered his face, and he was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The officers on the other side laughed, but they were all smiling with good-naturedness, such an interesting girl was rare in Wellenburg, and there were few women in the barracks, let alone a delicate and beautiful girl.

Julian saw the interaction of the rock-solid team members, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked, so he said: "Eat when you're hungry, let's talk while eating." As he spoke, he took the initiative to cut the lamb chops in front of him.

General Roland also smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Julian has spoken, let's go!" There is no need to pay attention to those etiquettes here, the barracks are a litter of rough men, not so particular. ”

Lin Yiyi showed a grateful look, tears were about to flow out, and while biting the ingredients, she said: "His Royal Highness the prince is a warm man, and the general's uncle is also a good person." ”

The corners of General Roland's mouth twitched, no one had praised him with the evaluation of "good people", and he didn't know where His Royal Highness the Prince found this group of interesting mercenaries.

Raising his glass, General Roland stood up with a solemn face, and then the officers in a row also stood up.

"To His Highness Julian, to Nosval!"

Julian smiled and got up, raising his glass as well.

"For the glory of Nosval!"

Drinking this glass of wine, Julian smiled bitterly, there is no glory in Northval today, only internal and external troubles and famines.

After the servants poured drinks for everyone, General Roland looked at the rock-solid crowd and said with a smile: "This cup is to be honored to you, the soldiers of Wellenburg you have done are in the eyes, you are the heroes of this battle!" ”

Everyone politely replied to General Roland, and Shi Zhengyang said: "We are all the people of His Royal Highness Julian, and what he refers to is where we overcome obstacles. ”

Mu Lan showed a vague smile, what this sentence means is that our credit is Julian's credit, and we are under his command, so he is the greatest hero.

General Roland, as an old fox, of course understood what Shi Zhengyang meant, and immediately showed a strange smile, now that the regent is in control of the government, it is very delicate for the second prince to appear in Wirenberg at this time, which means that he may be labeled as the "second prince's party", and will become a thorn in the eye of the regent.

But he is not disgusted, the memory goes back to decades ago, when he was a young sergeant, the discerning King of Leiden promoted him exceptionally, Leiden II, who had just come to power, needed his own cronies, and he did not live up to the king's trust, helped the king deal with the chaos in the north, suppressed the old ministers of the previous generation of kings, and steadily fought to the later prosperity, it can be said that everything he has now is given by King Leiden.

So he is only loyal to the king's faction, before the king's younger brother usurped the throne, no matter which prince threw an olive branch to him, he would not stand in line at will, but silently helped the old king run this Willenburg, maintaining order in the bitter wasteland.

It's a pity that the world is impermanent, the adult heir of King Leiden is only the one in front of him, the cold-blooded and ruthless regent Drahy stretched out the butcher's knife to his nephew and niece, the chaotic thief he has endured for many years, but he didn't expect that half of Northwar was taken into his pocket in an instant, and he was already in a very dangerous position as the lone minister of the old king.

Looking at Julian on the main seat, his change is obvious, not the kind of change in appearance, but from an idle nobleman who only knows how to play and taste poetry, which is not noticeable, to a man as steady as a mountain in the chaotic army, from time to time you can see fortitude and strength in his eyes, which may be due to his experience during this time.

Looking at the mercenary group eating and drinking on the other side, it seemed to be a group of free and loose people, but they all had unique skills and strong strength, General Roland couldn't help but ask himself, maybe he should make a choice?

"What do you think of the current situation in Wellenburg?" General Roland suddenly said in a deep voice.

Julian was silent and did not speak, but looked at Mu Lan.

Shi Zhengyang said directly: "To be honest, it's not optimistic. ”

General Roland nodded, Willenburg is now unable to communicate with the outside world, and there is no feedback on the magical communication with the royal capital, in essence, it is already an isolated city, 20,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians are eating mouths, even if it is prepared for a long time before the war, it cannot be consumed for a long time.

Shi Zhengyang did not talk about material reserves, according to the plan discussed by the team before, and Mu Lan's prompt in the spiritual link at this time, he said: "Your army in Wellenburg has a big problem. ”

These words fell like a stone into the water, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the officers on the other side, and a young officer stood up and accused: "As a person of His Royal Highness the Prince, we have enough respect for you, but you are arrogant, a mercenary group that fights monsters in the wilderness dares to point fingers at us in military and political affairs?" ”

The table was tense, and Lin Yiyi looked at the officers who were still talking and laughing just now, and suddenly glared angrily, silently protecting his meat chops.

"The big war is coming, and facing the problem head-on is the best way to solve it, isn't it?"

In the cold female voice, Mu Lan looked at General Roland with a smile.

General Roland's expression did not change, he was silent for a moment, and then motioned for the excited young officer to sit down, looked at Mu Lan and said slowly, "Question?" I hope you can constructively point out that I'm not the kind of old-fashioned antique, and if I did, I would have adopted it. ”
