"It seems that the kingdom's losses are smaller than we estimated. Is it because they have mobilized too many soldiers?" Roland said, holding a long barrel in his left hand and placing it on his left eye, pointing to the walls of Vale. Ciel nodded, she couldn't see exactly what was happening on the city walls, but she could still roughly sense how many living people were there, which was the most basic predator of the Dementors. To her surprise, there were no telescopes in the world that could have night vision.

"Maybe the demons didn't inflict as many casualties as we had previously speculated. It is also possible that they evacuated the wounded. However, judging from the abandoned camps, the coalition forces should not be rich in manpower, and they are not even able to protect their own back roads. The female doctor calmly analyzed, whether it was for professional or racial reasons, she could easily accept the blood stains and the heavy smell of death in the woods. This allowed Hill to arrive at a more objective number of casualties, a staggering number.

The magician put away the telescope in front of him, his face was younger than when he was in Strangetown, and Roland looked to be about thirty or forty years old now. It's just that no matter how much the appearance changes, the iconic pipe is still firmly in the mouth. "The situation of the rat people is not optimistic. But now that they're focused on Vale City, if the nezumi can take the opportunity to evacuate, it's not out of the question. ”

Unbeknownst to Roland and Ciel, Valley City has actually become a veritable nezumi city, relying on an intricate underground network that can still inflict massive casualties on humanity if Gloria wants to. It is not even impossible to push back the seemingly detached coalition forces. But the Daughter of Saron knew that this was not the real solution, and that even if they repelled the human attack, the nezumi would lose to their hunger and savage nature, and instead of being completely treated as a monster at that time, they would fight with the demons to the end.

"The nezumi don't leave here, they have a lord bent on death. A man's voice rang out from not far away. The two were amazed at how close the other could approach them silently, and at the shape of the person they saw.

"Kingdom knights shouldn't be here now. Especially when he still has an elf with him. Roland exhaled the smoke and said to the knights who were sitting on the grass watching Vale City in the night, and the servants who served beside him.

"There's nothing wrong with that, you just need to think of me as a deserter. In fact, I was indeed a deserter. Leon had a stalk of grass in his mouth and his eyes were half-open. At this time, the blood lion didn't feel the slightest bit of his usual momentum, he was like a ball that had been poked out of breath, leaving only a shriveled body to support his existence.

Hill was the first to dismount and led the mount to approach the two, she looked at the knight's face by the moonlight, and confirmed her conjecture, "If the blood lions have become deserters, will there be anyone in the Kingdom Knights who can fight?" Leon is a small celebrity in the kingdom, especially since he has always had no, and he is a household name among the commoners of the royal capital and even the entire blue lion.

Leon glanced at the female doctor, and he was not surprised that the other party could reveal his identity. However, this also shows that at least one of the men and women in front of him is a blue lion, which gives him some intimacy. However, when answering Ciel's question, his tone was still weak, "Of course there is." Never before have we been? I don't think the kingdom has ever mobilized such a large number of troops, and never before has the composition been so large. I dare say Your Majesty must really want to get rid of the rat people this time. ”

"This is not King Sigget's decision. Roland stepped closer and took his pipe off. He could see that the knight, who was known as a blood lion, was in some great state of mind, but that did not prevent him from telling him what the latter did not know, "King Sigget is dead, dead in his castle. Rumor has it that an assassin sent by the Nezumi killed him. So the whole kingdom was furious, and they spontaneously formed an army as you see it, and went all the way north..."

"What are you talking about!" Before the magician's words were finished, the knight who was still sitting on the ground just now instantly stood up and grabbed the placket of his chest tightly with both hands, "You, again, what did you say happened to Your Majesty?" Those eyes seemed to be lions that chose people to devour, and I am afraid that ordinary people will have palpitations just by being stared at.

But Roland is no ordinary man, he has experienced and experienced things far beyond the imagination of everyone here. So he could repeat the message again in the same tone, "King Siggett, your majesty, is dead. And it's been a while since no one informed you?"

Leon let go of his hands as if he had lost all his strength, and his gaze gradually lost focus. He said silently, "Yes, otherwise Your Majesty will not let Marcus be responsible, he will definitely take it personally..."

"You'd better ask this lady about it, she's been to the site before. Roland pointed to the Dementors and said.

The chief knight immediately turned his gaze to Ciel, and as he looked at the other man, a slight sense of distortion appeared for no apparent reason. He always felt that there was something wrong with the woman in front of him, but he couldn't say it. So it can only be attributed to the fact that I haven't relaxed for too long, "Who are you?"

"Ciel, I'm a doctor. After the death of the first king, I was hired to enter the castle to investigate the cause of death. The Dementor leader nodded, and said hello to Leon.

"So how the hell did Your Majesty die!" this is the most important thing for the Blood Lion at the moment, unlike Lothar's fatherly affection for Sigget, the friendship between Leon and Siggett is more between their peers. Without the king's permission, Atticus would not have been able to promote a child of civilian origin to the rank of head of the Second Order of the Knights.

"There are no obvious external injuries on the body of the first king. The other doctors believed that His Majesty had died of poison, and since the nezumi hair was later found in the castle's kitchen, there was a theory that the nezumi had poisoned him. It is also a situation that the kingdom now agrees with. Hill said calmly, even coldly. Aside from the stakes, she really didn't care much about Sigget's death.

Leon was silent for a few seconds, digesting the news. At the same time, he also noticed the doctor's voice, "What is your opinion? I don't think a doctor who is qualified to determine the cause of the king's death would come here for no reason." ”

"Magic, I don't know if you believe it exists. But I think the king's death had something to do with it. Hill said. In fact, she just wanted to fool the obviously angry knight, after all, for most people, the existence of magic was limited to country stories and market rumors. Even when encountering incredible sights during travel, it is difficult to equate them directly with the existence of magic. She only hoped that Lothar would take her for a mysterious-obsessed paranoid person after hearing the speculation.

Unexpectedly, when Leon heard this word, instead of scoffing, several names suddenly came out of his mouth, "Magic, could it be a cursed crow? or a witch?...? It's still cheese, no, it can't be him..."

This time, Roland grabbed the knight's shoulder, "You just mentioned, Cheese?"
