Merlin and the three of them walked all the way to a secluded room, the three of them sat down, the maid went in and out, and after a while, snacks and drinks were arranged, and after the three of them ate and drank a little at will, Li Shanhe praised,

"Your guards are pretty good. "It's really good, as far as Li Shanhe can see, along the way, all the guards of Merlin have a neat military posture and a solemn face, except for saluting, they don't say a word, just by looking at it, they know that it is a strong team.

"Nonsense, how do you think my Count Merlin got to be titled, if nothing else, just your rabble, if you bump into my knights, you will definitely lose. Merlin looked up, smug on his face.

"Knights fight infantry, you can say it. Li Shanhe's mouth was so hard, but he couldn't refute the actual result.

Merlin has money, even if he doesn't take money from Emilez's family, there will be a steady stream of people who will come over to send money, just the name of Emirez's only direct bloodline, when Merlin released the news to form a knights, he successively received nearly a thousand horses, including dozens of uncastrated horses, but unfortunately, near the royal capital, there is no suitable grassland, such as this kind of natural thing, no matter how hard Li Shanhe tries, it can't be changed.

"Hahahahahaha!! my Count Merlin's army is the strongest!!" Merlin crossed his waist and laughed, Li Shanhe wiped his face and said,

"Okay, don't be weird, what did you say to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, why did he come out with you?" Li Shanhe pointed at Sun Qian.

"Ha, of course it's because I'm going to the Dark Fortress, and the old man is here to show me the way. ”

"What? The third prince allowed you to go out? Huh, it's you after all. Li Shanhe couldn't help but be depressed, having a good family background, it was really too convenient, Li Shanhe was sure that the third prince was definitely against Merlin going out, but if the object was Merlin, no matter how much he objected, he couldn't really refuse.

"Merlin, I'm going with you to the Dark Citadel. Li Shanhe suppressed the jealousy in his heart and said to Merlin.

"No! you're going to take credit from me?" Merlin hurriedly called.

"No, I just want to go to the border, I don't want to stay in the royal capital anymore. Li Shanhe sighed.

"You have to think clearly, you left with me, the commander here will not say anything about the change, maybe you will still be wanted. Merlin reminded.

"If I don't leave, the commander here won't change? How many people are staring at this position, I know very well in my heart, if it wasn't for the fact that I saved the life of the third prince before, this commander would not have been my turn. Li Shanhe is very helpless, he has been appointed as the commander, it has been almost a year, but around him, there are all some people who have shaved and patted horses, although they also have a few henchmen, but in fact, everyone is not optimistic about how long they can do it, and now the attitude of the third prince also proves that the so-called ability, the so-called life-saving grace, is useless in the face of interests.

For example, before, being ridiculed by those soldiers, Li Shanhe was also angry, rather than so, it was better to leave, remembering that he was ambitious to come out of his hometown, but now he has fallen to such a point, Li Shanhe was stunned.

“...... You're not stupid. Merlin looked at Li Shanhe and said after a moment of silence.

Li Shanhe noticed that Merlin's tone was different, and asked,

"You know something, right?!"

"Probably, like why he didn't send troops, like why he allowed me to go out. Merlin put away his joking demeanor, his appearance was serious, Li Shanhe was quite surprised, but before he had time to think about it, Sun Qian was already anxious to ask,

"Count Merlin, why is His Royal Highness the Prince reluctant to send troops?"

"Li Shanhe, are you sure that you will leave the Kingdom Army, or even leave the royal capital?" Merlin changed his previous frivolous image and asked solemnly, at this time, Li Shanhe realized that he had looked away before.

Li Shanhe sighed and said,

"Yes, I'm leaving. ”

"Well, after that, you can follow me, and now, let me tell you the outline of the matter. Merlin paused, and said,

"You all know that idiot in Ore Town, with his belongings, ran to the royal capital, and then was stopped, actually, that guy entered the royal capital, but because he was talking about the dark fortress at the north gate, he was driven out, Ore Town is rich in all kinds of gems, that guy Simon, in the transaction project with the old man at home, there is the territory of Ore Town, including Falling Snow Town and Maple Leaf Town, which have been booked to the nobles in the royal capital, so Simon is waiting, those monsters, wash the north of the royal capital. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shanhe and Sun Qian were shocked, although they already had a premonition in their hearts, they didn't expect that their homeland had already been included in other people's transactions.

Merlin ignored the shocked expressions of the two and continued,

"In terms of the royal capital, the eldest prince and the king are trapped in the palace, there is no way to go to heaven and no door, just wait for the grain storage in the palace to be consumed, and then surrender, the second prince is weak, and Simon has always been friendly, belonging to a camp, the fourth prince was put to the border by the king that year, this was originally his best opportunity, but Simon is very smart, although he does not have the king's seal, but he sent an order to the fourth prince in the name of the royal capital, let him come to the dark fortress to help. ”

Li Shanhe interface to,

"He's bound to be in a dilemma. ”

"Yes, this move is heart-wrenching, the direction of the palace is not yet clear, Simon's move undoubtedly tells him that the royal capital is already in his hands, his best choice is to continue to wait and see, once the news of the king's death is exposed, he will rebel, however, Simon made a time difference, until the snow season is approaching, the matter of the order will be spread, and when the fourth prince knows, it is too late, the north of the royal capital will be completely destroyed, and the people of the royal capital will not have anyone willing to believe him. Merlin also sighed, although he didn't like Simon as a person, but I have to say that his plan was wonderful.

"And what is your Emirez family's role in this?" Li Shanhe continued to ask.

"As the monsters flood into the Duchy of Aaron, and when darkness descends on the royal capital, Emilez's current leader, Archbishop Anthony of the Temple of Light, will accompany the new king, Simon Coryville, to repel the tide of beasts. Merlin said expressionlessly, while Li Shanhe and Sun Qian only felt a sense of suffocation on their faces.

"You...... That Merlin you ...... Why go out. Li Shanhe tried his best to stay calm.

Merlin turned his head, no longer looked at Li Shanhe, his right hand was raised slightly, Sun Qian only felt a cold air coming to him, and in Merlin's hand, there were ice crystals slowly gathering, and then into a sword, Merlin held the sword, pointed to a tower-shaped building on the south side of the royal capital and said,

"I'm going to destroy his filthy Emirez and rebuild my family. ”
