In the capital of Nuland, there is a city within a city, and that is the courtyard of the Jingler family. This unwalled courtyard city is located directly opposite the royal palace, facing the royal palace in the distance. In the center of the courtyard is the main complex of the Kingler family, which includes the conference hall, the meeting room, and the private courtyard of the head of the Kingele family. The mansions that surround the main complex in an orderly manner were the residences of the nobles who worked for the Gingler family.

The nobles who lived in the city of Gingler were all retainers of the Gingler family, and they were loyal to the Gingler family first, and then to Nuland. The buildings in the courtyard are almost the same as the other buildings in Thousand Lotus Castle, with white walls and dark gray roofs and windows, but once you enter it, it is easy to tell them apart. Because, with the exception of the taller main building complex in the center, all the houses in the courtyard are similar in style and layout. In addition, the logo of the Kingler family can be seen in front of all the houses in the city, including the main building, as well as on the furniture and utensils in the house.

The family crest of the Jingele family is a pattern composed of four diamond-shaped petals, which is simple and elegant, solemn and generous, highlighting the long history and status of this family.

In the inconspicuous corner of the vast courtyard of the Kingler family, there is a relatively modest mansion. It's not that the mansion is dilapidated, but it's not as slave-packed or pompous as the other aristocratic residences in the city. There were only two slaves in this modest house, one for cleaning and the other for cooking, and the courtyard was a little deserted. Over the years, no one had been in or out of the house except Noro Kingler, because few of Nulander had dared to offend the owner of the mansion. It can also be said that there are few people in the Eastern Continent who live in this mansion that he dare not mess with.

Lately, Noro has been busy preparing for his secret pact with Rod Ackroy. The initial strategy had just been agreed upon with the nobles of the family, but an important guy who was supposed to attend the meeting did not show up. Therefore, after the meeting, Noro had to personally come to the door to find someone, looking at the entire Eastern Continent, there were few people who could make this arrogant and powerful Jingle family master so condescending.

After entering the courtyard door, Noro walked directly to the master bedroom and unceremoniously pushed open the hidden door. When I came in, as expected, there was a tall, untidy brown body lying on the chaise long, with a long and well-structured arm hanging on the ground, and a few jars in my hand, and the room was filled with the intoxicating aroma of fine wine.

The strong light that suddenly entered the house from outside the door made the person on the recliner frown uncomfortably, and his eyes opened a thin slit unhappily, but seeing a slender silhouette outlined by light and shadow standing at the door, the person on the recliner couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, stretched his waist with sleepy eyes, and smiled at the figure in the backlight with that lazy and hoarse voice: "Hey, beauty, come and have a drink with me......"

Noro couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the thick golden-brown hair with one hand, and dragged the person on the recliner up hard, staring at the other party's green eyes, which were still a little confused, and said coldly: "Muqi Alva, you'd better wake me up immediately, and then go change into decent clothes and clean up." Because I've decided to leave for Dorodo tonight, you go too!"

After saying that, Noro let go of his hand and left him, and then turned around and left.

Mu Qi looked at Noro's distant back in a daze, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and noticed that he was really disheveled, with open chest and exposed muscles, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh in a low voice: "It's really a wonderful beauty, it's just too cold......"

After laughing to himself, Murch got up and quickly gathered himself as Noro had asked.

Muki Avar was the only one who dared to repeatedly challenge the limits of the powerful and arrogant head of the Kingler family, and the only one who dared to be so unscrupulous in front of Noro Kingele. In fact, he was originally a nobleman from Konon, a neighbor to the southeast of Nuland, who lost his mother at an early age, and began to follow his father to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and a few years later, his father also died on the battlefield. Alone, Murch inherited his father's title of nobility and showed off his military talents, and has since been virtually invincible. It wasn't until seven years ago, when he was twenty-six years old, that in a battle between Konon and Nuland, the Konon army led by Muki was defeated by the Nuland army under the command of Noro. It was his first meeting with Noro and his first defeat on the battlefield.

The military power of most countries in the Eastern Continent is concentrated in the hands of the royal family, but there are also nobles from a few countries who have private armies, especially ancient nobles like the Jingle family, which are even more powerful and rich. However, Nuland's neighbor, Konon, is different. In order to centralize power, the Konon royal family did not allow the nobles to keep private soldiers, in case they had to support their own troops, and the military power granted temporarily during the war would also be recovered immediately after the war.

Among the many nobles, Muqi Avar is an outlier, even in the Eastern Continent, where the concept of hierarchy is extremely strong, he never bends to give in. In the eyes of others, Muki not only lacks the concept of dignity and inferiority, but also has no sense of morality. Although he has a very high military talent, and his personal combat effectiveness is also outstanding, and he rarely meets opponents, he has unwittingly offended many people because of his indifferent nature, self-style, and heroism. Therefore, after losing the battle with Noro, many Knong nobles took the opportunity to slander in the ears of King Knon out of jealousy and dissatisfaction, slandering that Muchi had already secretly taken refuge in Nuland, so he was deliberately defeated, causing Knon to suffer heavy losses.

Not long ago, he was a victorious Henong hero, and after only one failure, people took the opportunity to frame him and spread rumors that he was a traitor who betrayed the country. Disgusted by Muki's rebellious personality, the king of Khnon convicted him of treason, imprisoned him, and planned to behead him soon to vent his anger. In previous years, he protected the land and the people, and the nobles and commoners who received his favor were unknown, but in the blink of an eye, the whole country began to spit on him mercilessly, insulting him by means of criminal law and morality.

The defeated Konon had to sacrifice three large cities on the western border and cede land to Nuland for peace. However, Norro refused the three cities and demanded that the three cities be replaced by Muchi Avar himself. As you can imagine, this proposal was immediately opposed by some of Nuland's nobles, but Norro used his power to pressure those who opposed it to agree to exchange the three cities for a defeated enemy general, Muchi Avar.

Noro's move is tantamount to confirming Muchi's treason charge. But for the Knon nobles, three great cities were certainly much more important than an inconsequential death row prisoner, and they were of course happy to offer them. It was in this way that Muki Avar escaped a fateful death.

Since then, Noro has brought Muchi Avar into the family of Kingele, making him one of his most effective warriors. The reason why Noro went to such great lengths to win over an enemy general was because he had learned the young general's military talent and his character in several encounters in the previous battle. Mutge had long since put life and death aside from the death of his parents at an early age, and he was not greedy for power at all, but simply enjoyed the excitement of battle and all the pleasures of life. The most important point is that he is not bound by the concept of family and country, only lives in his own heart, and never lives in the eyes of others.

As Norro expected, Murch was quite unique, and in the second year after arriving in Nuland, he offered to lead an army against Konon. At that time, many nobles were suspicious of his intentions, and King Nuland was undecided, unwilling to take the risk with Nuland's army. Only Noro trusted him and did not hesitate to put his private army directly into the hands of Muchi.

Muki did not disappoint Noro, and won the victory quickly, not only giving a retaliatory blow to the people who had framed and insulted him, but also offering Noro the six great cities in the west of Konon with both hands. Since then, the power of the Jingler family has increased rapidly again, and it has stood firmly at the peak of power, and the family wealth has long surpassed the total wealth of Nuland.

It is not so much that the Jingle family depends on Nuland to survive, but that Nuland can only rely on the power of the Jingele family for a long time to maintain the name of the second largest country in the Eastern Continent. Therefore, even if the two princes have fought each other, no one dares to offend the Jingler family. While their abilities are not up to the standards expected of the Kingler family, they are not without merit. In any case, they had been raised as royal heirs, so they knew that no matter how much the Gingler family ignored them, they could not jump out and break with the Gingler family at such a time. As long as this powerful family does not officially break away from Nuland, the surrounding neighbors will not dare to act rashly, and they will be able to retain this power in their hands. Therefore, no matter what the Jingle family does now, as long as it does not endanger Nuland's interests, the two princes will never interfere.

In the winter of 1354 in the Lepelian calendar, Norro led 30,000 elite cavalry and marched eastward overnight, quietly heading to the tower of the capital city of Dorodo.

For now, the conspiracy between Rod Ackroy and Noro Kingler is absolutely inappropriate to be made public, and it is not beneficial for Noro to go to war with Dorodo head-on. Their goal is to restrain King Dorodo by surprise before he can declare war on his neighbors with virus weapons in hand, destroy all virus weapons quickly, and take Dorodo quietly. This matter must not leak the slightest rumor, and it must not be known to any surrounding country, especially Herriland.

The cavalry of the Eastern Continent generally used Lin Xun as a mount. Although he was not as tall and strong as the Sava horses, he had slender limbs and was quite agile, and his speed was no less than that of a horse. What's more, when running, the sound of contact with the ground under the cunning hooves is relatively low, and their blood-red eyes have stronger night vision than other riding beasts, making them very suitable for night walking.

In order to conceal their whereabouts in the darkness of the night, the soldiers uniformly wore black armor. The cavalry armor of the Eastern Continent focuses more on the protection of the lower limbs, because the cavalry's mount, Lin Cun, is covered with hard scales, and the slightest mistake will be stabbed, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. Therefore, the design of the saddle is quite elaborate, and the coverage is also large, from the back to the abdomen, it is all looped, but it does not affect the flexibility of the beast. There are four horns on the head of the cunning, two long sharp horns on the top of the head, and two stubby horns under the ears on both sides of the head, and each of these two stubby horns has a small hole in it, through which the reins of the beast are controlled.

The 30,000 cavalry marched silently all the way, except for the occasional cough.

When he heard the cough repeatedly, Muki finally couldn't help but drive the beast forward and walk side by side with Noro. Against the backdrop of the black robe, Noro's face looked even paler. Mu Qi looked at him sideways and said with some concern, "It seems that the cough has been much more frequent lately than before, are you sure it's okay to go to Dorodo like this?"

Mu Qi was no longer as dazed as he had been when he first woke up, and his eyes were shining at night, and in the daytime, they would look like two sparkling green lakes. But in addition to his blazing eyes, this guy still has that uninhibited appearance, even when he goes to the battlefield. The soldiers in the team were all neatly dressed, fully armoured, and solemn, but this guy was always dressed in regular clothes, with an open placket and a well-defined chest texture. If it weren't for the fact that he had to ride a beast to walk, he would probably even take off the protective gear on his lower limbs now, and he would not have the demeanor of a noble general at all.

Noro glanced at the person beside him expressionlessly, and replied indifferently, "I can't die." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he drove the beast to speed up, stagger back and forth from Muqi, always looking ahead, and never looked back. Immediately there was a low laugh behind him, knowing that the other party could not bear the quiet temperament, but he was stunned and ignored it.
