"Colonel Luowei, welcome!" At the main gate of the Grand Duke's Mansion, the always arrogant Grand Duke Otrie put down his body and greeted the return of Luo Wei and the others with a smile.

Luo Wei got out of the car, shook hands with Archduke Ottery, and turned to look behind him.

The Grand Duke's Mansion was built on a high hill on the outskirts of the city, with an empty landscape, a vast plain as far as the eye could see, and the periphery was dotted with piggybacks and pillboxes, without any defensive corners, and it was impregnable.

Luo Wei turned his head and praised with a smile: "It seems that Grand Duke Ottery is also familiar with military affairs, and this Grand Duke's Mansion is probably the safest place in the entire Linjiang." ”

"Of course, I assure you, no one will bother us today." Archduke Ottery cordially greeted Luo Wei and walked into the banquet hall together.

At this time, the doors of the ballroom are open, and tall waiters, dressed in elegant gowns and lined up neatly on both sides of the velvet carpet, greet the guests politely.

This huge banquet hall is more than 100 meters long and wide, eighteen huge palace banquet tables are neatly distributed, dark red tablecloths, silver lamps and candles, elegant light sprinkled on the decoration of hundreds of flowers, embellished like a beautiful garden, the ceiling above the head is more than ten meters from the ground, and the brilliant chandeliers are inlaid with precious jewels collected from all over the world, which is extraordinary.

Between the dining tables, waiters and maids are busy shuttling, expensive silver cutlery is neatly placed on the table, faintly smelling the fragrance of wine and food, on the bandstand, professionally trained musicians are playing passionately, melodious music and singing are like elves dressed in streamers, shuttling between people and people, soaking everyone's heart.

"Please let me introduce you." Grand Duke Ottery walked up to a bunch of elegantly dressed federal nobles and introduced them one by one, "Arlin, Duke of the Federal Heavy Industries Legion, Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Grand Duke's Mansion of Ottery. Ban, Marquis of the Federal Heavy Industries Corps and Magistrate of the Grand Duchy of Autry, is about to take up the post of Lord Chancellor of Linjiang City. Mike, Marquis of the Federal Heavy Industries Corps, Military Minister of the Grand Duke's Guard of Ottery, he is a soldier, and I believe you will have a common language..."

Grand Duke Autry successively introduced more than 20 nobles, each of whom was a noble figure with real power, all of whom were the mainstay of Grand Duke Autry's mansion and the main force to take over the military administration of Linjiang in the future.

At last, Archduke Ottery walked up to a beautifully dressed woman and cheerfully introduced, "Ah... And this ~ Elena, my little niece, she has been admiring Colonel Luo Wei for a long time! ”

Elena scratched her head and saluted Luo Wei, her words full of excitement: "Oh my God, I'm finally seeing me, I'm so excited, I even want to confess to him now." ”

Grand Duke Ottery spread out his hands and laughed helplessly: "Oh~ Elena, you should be a little reserved." ”

In the midst of talking and laughing, a group of people sat down and chatted for a full hour while eating, and the topic was basically around Luo Wei, and everyone wanted to get closer to Luo Wei in order to seek political interests in Linjiang in the future.

Suddenly, Grand Duke Ottery knocked on his forehead and smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, we had such a pleasant conversation that we forgot about today's topic." ”

Elena clenched her fists excitedly: "Yes! Uncle! Make sure to play Alimana today, I love watching him play! ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Yarlin wiped his greasy mouth with a napkin and smiled meaningfully: "I heard that there is a very special 'guest' today, who was personally captured by Colonel Luowei. ”

In fact, everyone already knew the information, but for the sake of the superficial effect, Archduke Ottery still leaned out and said mysteriously and slowly: "That's right... Eagle Banner Seven Generals... Raven Ink Bone! ”

"Oh! ~" Everyone exclaimed very cooperatively, and Elena asked even more excitedly, "Is she going to face off against our champion Alimana?" ”

Archduke Ottery put down his knife and fork, stretched out his hand, as if counting: "Not just one, but ten!" ”

"Bare hands?!"

"With bare hands."

Elena's little face flushed with excitement: "Oh my God, I can't wait to see her beaten to death!" ”

At this time, Luo Wei suddenly spoke up, he smiled slightly, and said with interest: "Is this gladiatorial fight still bare-handed?" ”

Grand Duke Autry, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Any suggestions?" ”

Luo Wei smiled: "It's nothing, it's just my personal preference, I prefer to watch people open their stomachs." ”

These bloody words made the atmosphere a little quieter, but combined with some of the things Luo Wei had done before, the nobles present did not find it strange, and Elena was even more excited to hold the arm of the Grand Duke of Autry and say, "Uncle! What do you think?! ”

Grand Duke Ottery just thought for a moment, then spread his hand and said with great interest: "Colonel Luowei, today is your home field, and whatever you say is what you say!" ”

Mike, the military secretary, snapped his fingers at the attendants: "Weapons the gladiators, real fellow." ”

Luo Wei specially admonished: "Remember to strengthen security and gather the guards on the viewing platform." ”

Mike smiled heartily: "Don't worry, Colonel Luowu, are you still afraid that they will throw knives and come up?" ”

Seeing that Luo Wei was so concerned about security, the little remaining vigilance of Grand Duke Ottery was gone, he clapped his hands and said happily: "I said, today is the home field of Colonel Luo Wei, what he wants, we will do it!" ”

After hearing this, Mike snapped his fingers at the attendants: "Gather the most elite soldiers in the Grand Guard to the viewing platform and protect the spectators closely." ”

Elena, who was excited, couldn't sit still: "Can we start?" ”

"Of course~" Grand Duke Autry stood up, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air, although the nobles were eating, but in fact, everyone had been secretly paying attention to Grand Duke Autry, after he pressed his hands, the voice of the audience quickly disappeared, and became silent, he immediately raised his head, and said in the tone of the superior, "Everyone, our guests can't wait, please move to the gladiatorial arena to watch the platform, our waiters have prepared tea and snacks, and the show is about to be staged!" ”

In the midst of applause, Grand Duke Ottery led the people to the viewing platform, and the rest of the guests also entered in order of status.

Grand Duke Otteri sat in the main seat, and on the left hand side was the most important guest, Luo Wei, on the right hand side was his beloved niece Elena, and the other chancellors of the exchequer and the military minister were distributed in turn.

"Our champion, Alimana, please! And his compatriots! As soon as he arrived at the gladiatorial arena, Archduke Ottery seemed to be a different person, as if the blood on his body was boiling, and the whole person stood up and shouted feverishly.

Alimana and nine elite black gladiators came out of the backfield, he still had the wounds left by the gladiatorial fight with Neo, but for the sake of the game, Grand Duke Otteri had him use a phoenix serum for the first time, which restored all the flesh wounds, and the updated and repaired cells made his dark body shine brightly, like the possession of the god of war.

Alimana held a shield in his left hand and a broadsword issued by the guard in his right hand, and for some reason, his eyes burned with fire that could not be extinguished even if he had been poured into an ocean, and he crossed his hands in front of his chest and gave a respectful gladiator salute to the viewing platform.

This is a necessary step before every game, and Grand Duke Otteri has long been used to it, but for some reason, he always felt that the direction of Alimana's salute today was a little off.

Archduke Otteri glanced in the direction directly opposite Alimana, and then saw Luo Wei sitting on the left...

Is it a delusion?
