"Come in!"

After a while, Patrick escorted a man who had been tied up into the tent. I saw that Pebro was unkempt at this time, and his reddish-brown beard was full of mud and was extremely embarrassed.

Patrick threw Pebro hard in front of Xue Huan, and kicked him twice in anger, "Say, who instructed this interception?"

"I—" Peblo opened his mouth and said helplessly, "I don't know......"

"Really?"

Patrick placed his greatsword on Pebro's shoulder, gesturing to cut it down.

"Don't, don't!" looked at the blade that was getting closer and closer to his neck, Pebro said with a sad face, "Yes... It's Lord Semur!"

Lord Semur, Xue Huan, who was not familiar with this continent, was a little confused.

"The Semuel family is one of the three major families of Lordaeron. Seeing that Xue Huan was a little puzzled, Lu Xi, who was familiar with the customs and customs of Lordaeron, explained: "They are in charge of the 30,000 elite infantry in the kingdom of Lordaeron, and at the same time, they also control various economic channels and hubs in the kingdom. And Semuel himself was a general of Lordaeron, and had a good personal relationship with the great general Abydis. It can be said that the entire Lordaeron, the Semuel family belongs to the existence of ten thousand people under one person. ”

I see...

Xue Huan suddenly understood a little, why Ilbert said at that time that even if he knew who was behind the scenes, he would not be able to compete with it.

"This is what I found from the guy in the silver armor. Patrick handed a piece of parchment note in his arms to Xue Huan.

Xue Huan opened the note and saw a few words clearly written on it: Luxi, blonde curly hair, will arrive in Lordaeron soon, intercept and kill!

At the bottom right, there is a conspicuous blood-red royal emblem, and a big red S is marked above.

"This is the emblem of the Semuel family. Lucy glanced at the contents of the parchment and whispered in Xue Huan's ear.

"Then why did they intercept you? Did you offend them?" Xue Huan asked with some puzzlement.

Lu Xiyu put her hand on her cheek in contemplation, but after thinking about it, she finally spread her hands: "No, in my impression, it seems that I have never dealt with the royal family. ”

That's hard to explain, Xue Huan was a little puzzled......

"Wait," Lucy exclaimed, as if she had thought of something. "Although I personally dislike the royal family, this marriage may have something to do with this incident!"

Oh!?

Hearing Lu Xi say this, Xue Huan suddenly became interested. Since taking over this mission, he only knew that he would escort Lucy to Lordaeron to marry, but Xue Huan didn't know who she was marrying. He only knew that the other party was also a Lordaeron royalty, and that was it......

"His name was Álvaro, and he was a handsome and gentlemanly knight. Lucy couldn't help but fall into sweet memories.

Álvaro, one of the Lordaeron Knights, was the deputy to the Royal Musketeer General Ruppert, who was trusted by him. Speaking of Álvaro, we have to mention the army establishment of the Lordaeron Kingdom.

The Knights of the Storm under the command of Falar, the Royal Musketeers under the command of Rupat, and the elite infantry under the command of Semuel are the three main military forces under the rule of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. And their common leader is the great general Abydis. The Knights of the Silver Hand, founded by Uther the Lightbringer, are an organization that is independent of these three military forces and is semi-attached to the Holy Church.

The knight of Lordaeron, named Álvaro, was one of the most trusted lieutenants under General Rupat. Lucy and he met at a noble dinner held in the royal city of Lordaeron, and as soon as they met, Álvaro was fascinated by Lucy's pure appearance and soft personality. Lucy was also impressed by this handsome and elegant man, and they fell in love.

But the good times were short-lived, because Lucy's father, that is, Maurice, needed to return to Stratholme to run the business, so the two had to be temporarily separated. As he was leaving, Álvaro kissed the forehead of his beloved, repeatedly promising to take her back to Lordaeron and take care of her for the rest of her life.

After two months, Álvaro finally got to work on the matter after taking care of the matter at hand. And this also contributed to the mission of Xue Huan and others, as well as the death of Matthew and Alex......

"Then why did Ilbet attack you? Shouldn't he have come to escort you?" After listening to the story of the knight and the princess, Xue Huan sighed and raised his confusion.

Hearing this, Lucy shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, but Ilbet is under the command of General Semur. And Semuel and Rupat have long been political enemies, and even their families have been squeezing out each other. ”

"But even if it's a political enemy, it won't come to intercept you halfway......" In Xue Huan's opinion, even if he kills Luxi, it won't do Semuel any good. He probably wouldn't send his most capable subordinates to do this thankless task.

"Maybe it's because of that accident......" Faced with Xue Huan's doubts, Lucy opened her mouth, and then swallowed her words back. She seemed a little hesitant.

Seeing Lucy's desire to speak, Xue Huan glanced at Patrick. The latter was stunned, then slapped himself on the head, grabbed Pebro, and strode out of the tent reflexively......

Seeing that only Xue Huan and Angel were left in the tent, Lucy hesitated for a moment, and then fell into deep memories: "It was an ordinary aristocratic dinner......

"Hey, Lucy, look at that man, he's an adjutant under General Ferrar, and he's so handsome!" Seeing Lisa, who was chattering and constantly commenting on the high-quality men present, Lucy stroked her forehead.

She originally liked to be quiet, but she never liked to participate in this kind of banquet between nobles. In her eyes, all the men and women interspersed in the banquet were just wolves in gorgeous clothes. Once there is a relationship of interest, who can guarantee that they will be able to stop the water and advance and retreat in a measured way as they are today?

Except, of course, for that person......

Remembering the man she had met at the dinner party the other day, Lucy became intoxicated. It was the first time she had met someone so elegant and gentlemanly, and her every move made her yearn for it.

Seeing Lucy, whose face was crimson and intoxicated, Lisa pursed her lips and gently touched her with her hand: "Hey, you won't be thinking about the man you met a few days ago..."

"Which... How can there be..."Being pierced by her best friend's careful thoughts, Lucy couldn't help blushing, she stomped her foot lightly, and said shyly: "You... You're right here to watch the handsome guys, I... I went out to get some air. With that, she ignored the sound of Lisa laughing behind her, and ran out of the room.

Call... It's cold...

The garden was unusually cold at night, and Lucy unconsciously clasped her hands together and rubbed them vigorously.

"Huh?" A familiar figure quickly flashed not far in front of Lucy, and disappeared without a trace in just a moment.

Lucy tilted her head and searched in her mind for a long time, and finally emerged the identity of the man. Samuel, one of the generals of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, was also invited to the banquet.

Why is this guy running so fast? And he looks a little anxious.

Intrigued, Lucy followed with a light step......

Walking out of the garden, Lucy came to an alley. Because the Kingdom of Lordaeron has imposed a curfew, the streets are already empty at this time. Lucy shuddered at the sight of the pitch-black low-rise buildings and dark roads around her.

Knowing that she was not so curious, Lucy clasped her hands over her shoulders and held back a sneeze that was about to erupt.

Suddenly, he heard a man's voice nearby, and it seemed that there was more than one person. Following the source of the sound, Lucy leaned against the cold wall and poked her little head out slightly, only to finally see the man who spoke. At this time, Semuel was facing away from Lucy, and he was muttering something incessantly.

Who was he talking to? Lucy was puzzled. For by the light of the moon, she could see clearly that there was only Semur alone in the streets.

"That's it!"

The voice of anger reached Lucy's ears, and she knew very well that it was not Semuel's voice. Because she had greeted the latter before, Semuel's slightly shrill voice was clearly inconsistent with the deep voice.

"Master, please calm your anger, I have done my best to convince the Emir, please give me a few more days. Semuel said anxiously, with humility in his tone.

Who has such a big face to make this Lordaeron minister so deferential?, Lucy said in her heart.

And the name of the emir, Lucy has also heard of it. As one of the three great families, they have no military power, but they are in charge of much of Lordaeron's economic lifeline. It is even rumored that even if King Terenus wants to launch a large-scale campaign, he will have to wait for the emir to nod, because without the support of his family, there will be no military spending.

"That's enough! I just want to see action!" the deep voice spoke again, this time with even more anger in its tone. Frightened, Semuel broke out in a cold sweat, "In the last seven days, if this matter can't be resolved, then there is no need for you to exist!"

As if on the verge of amnesty, Semur nodded vigorously, fearing that he would anger the owner of the voice: "Yes, master." I must convince the Emir to take refuge in him, and now that the orc army has entered Azeroth, as long as he does not provide the corresponding military expenses, then Terenus will definitely not be able to resist this invasion. ”

Hearing this, Lucy gasped, and she covered her mouth tightly to force herself not to make a sound. Not daring to listen any further, she tiptoed back, and when she was sure that Semuel had not noticed, she ran as fast as she could, and fled for her life......

"Very well!" the voice seemed to calm its anger, and said lightly, "My mighty army will be here soon, you know what to do!"

"Understood, my master!"

"Finally, I would like to remind you," said the mysterious voice with some playfulness.

"Could you please show me..."

"The conversation just now seems to have been overheard by some rats!"

What the!?

In addition to being shocked, Semuel's wolf-like eyes revealed a fierce and fierce light.
