Chapter Seventy-Seven: Heading South

Crowns gathered. At the southern gate of the Furious Battle City, 20,000 knights of the forbidden army lined up in a neat array of wild goose feathers, escorting thousands of imperial nobles waiting there. One of the most conspicuous was the giant carriage in which Shagru himself was, sitting on the soft chair in the carriage, who muttered in an inaudible voice: "You are a little slower, you have just sent out new spies, and they have already returned... Hehe, but this also shows that Ray and Jerry are too capable, although the military strength of the Principality Alliance is not strong, but at least they have more than 100,000 horses, especially good at mountain warfare, it is not easy to pacify them so quickly. ”

Shagru's face was filled with admiration for Ray and Jerry, and in a dark corner of the carriage, a man's voice came in a low voice, "It should be so, Your Majesty. However, it is reported that the Jaguar Legion did not go south according to the military headquarters, but followed Ray and returned with them, can you think of why?"

Shagru was stunned for a moment: "The Jaguar Legion is back, don't you want them to go to the province of Xili and launch an attack on the Smart Empire together when the time comes? Tell me, what happened?"

There was silence for a while before the man replied, "You can listen to the reports of the two generals Ray and Jerry by yourself later, and I'd better not disturb your good mood now." ”

Shagru's face was a little gloomy, a little hesitant, a little worried, he looked blankly ahead, over there, the smoke and dust were flying, and the team led by Lei was about to arrive. A Praetorian Guard general, who was in charge of watching from the towers on the city wall, sprang over, fell to his knees and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, they are back. The Jaguar Legion fighters came back with them, and I saw the Jaguar Legion flag... They were carrying a golden banner that symbolized victory. ”

Shagru's face immediately changed for the better, and he laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, the golden banner, I knew they wouldn't let us down... However, Ray should not have disobeyed my orders, why should they let the Jaguar Legion come back with them? Is it that guy Billart is going to do it this way? Damn it, if that's the case, I'm going to punish him severely, and he dares to disobey the orders of the military department?"

The man in the darkness didn't speak, only let out a soft sigh. Shagru, who was in excitement, did not notice this soft sigh, stood up very excitedly, walked out of the carriage in a few steps, and jumped off the ground. Immediately, those nearby Praetorian Guards, Guards, and even the personal guards of his palace surrounded him, lest this emperor, who had the strength of the Golden Fifth Order, would hurt even one of his little fingers.

The 170,000 troops of the Jaguar Legion stopped three miles away from the city, no one dared to approach the imperial capital with so many people, and you should be careful at any time which big nobleman sees you as too arrogant and unpleasant, and charges you with plotting to rebel, that is the crime of trapping the whole family. Ray, Jerry, and Butters led their high-ranking knights to dismount neatly, and then lined up in a neat formation according to their official positions and walked towards the city gate.

Shagru laughed and took a few steps, and the four old ministers who had ghosts in their hearts glanced at each other and followed with a smile. The four old guys have already reached an agreement to trap the Walters family no matter what. Among them, Siddock and Shaxx are the masterminds, Krees is because of the grudge between the Walts family and his grandson and fanned the flames, and the prime minister Messo, who takes care of the friendship of the four major families, and at the same time feels that it is a good thing to put the guards in the hands of his own family, which is the condition that Sidoc promised him, so he is also very active in giving advice there, waiting for the complete collapse of the Walts family, and they will divide the spoils.

Ray, Jerry, and Butters led all the high-ranking knights to kneel down in front of Shagru, with Jerry as the representative, and Jerry reported loudly: "Your Majesty, we have successfully pacified the three rebel principalities in the southeast, and made them sincerely submit to our empire. From this day onwards, there are three more provinces in our empire, namely the province of Fort Carson, the province of Luke, and the province of Danube, and the innumerable wealth in the treasury of the three provinces, the roster of the three provinces, all here... Under the wise leadership of His Majesty, under the intimidation of the infinite national and military prestige of the Empire, and with the concerted efforts of the people and soldiers of the whole country, we... A series of high-sounding words made Shagru's face full of triumphant light.

Look, Jerry is so good at talking, you can consider letting him go to the diplomatic department for a part-time job in the future, as for Ray, well, the young man is still so simple, he laughs so stupidly, but he is a good hand at fighting, well, he will have to give him more power in the future, this kid looks reliable, Jerry is a little slippery compared to him. Butters, well, very respectful, and, hey, hey, all the wounds on his body, it looks like he was on the front line, well, yes, yes, his father Sydock's protection is not wrong, but the opinions of the Walts family still need to be considered...

With a smile on his face, Shagru took the thick book in Jerry's hand, which recorded all the riches of the three principalities, the location of the proven mines, and the number of people, and nodded in praise again and again. And Messeau, who was behind him, asked quietly: "Congratulations to the generals on their triumph, but why don't the Jaguar Legion act according to military orders? Where is General Bicarter?"

Shagru, who was casually flipping through the book in his hand, immediately stiffened the movement of his fingers, and he slowly looked at the three of them. Ray was still almost smirking, he hadn't recovered from the surprise that he had received so many elite archers, and naturally he wouldn't notice the change in Shagru's expression, which made Shagru angry and funny. And Jerry and Butters, one of these two guys is an old man, and the other is extremely flexible, and immediately whispered: "Your Majesty, the inside story, I will report to you in detail later." ”

Butters was silent for a moment, and suddenly added another sentence: "The combat effectiveness and morale of the Jaguar Legion at the moment are no longer suitable for the south to participate in the war, so the minister boldly ordered them to return to the imperial capital and reorganize military affairs." And General Bicart he... Something happened on the front line that made him no longer able to continue commanding operations, so. ”

Shagru's face sank, and he knew that something had happened that would make him extremely angry, and most likely, his anger would drown many other people in a pool of blood. Shagru's first reaction was to take a vicious look at the head of the Walters family, the oldest Duke of Walters, the eldest of the great nobles, with a fierce glint in his eyes. He shouted in a deep voice: "Very good, you have fought very well this time, and I will definitely have a reward." Rejoice, subjects, our warriors have won one of the greatest victories. ”

The crowd of people near the city gate cheered wildly, countless colored paper and flower petals fluttered down from the air, and the court mage of the Van Empire shot fireballs into the sky, making them glow with brilliant light and shadow. The quantity and quality of these mages naturally can't be compared to the Smart Empire, but it's still very easy to release a few fireballs.

Ray was awakened by the loud noise in the air, he quickly stood up, looked at Shagru with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I want your consent for. ”

For Lei, a young general who has not yet connected with any big family, and his nature is also very simple, and he can place his high hopes on him, Shagru attaches great importance to it, he hurriedly smiled, slapped Lei's arm heavily and said, "Okay, what's the matter?" Say, is it that you have a crush on which young lady and want me to ask for a marriage for you? There is no problem at all, hahahaha. Shagru also ghosted.

Lei laughed: "It seems that no noble lady will take a fancy to me, Your Majesty... I'm talking about Rocat the Tiger of Carson, the commander of the Principality of Carsonburg, Ingle the Eagle of Luke, the commander of the Principality of Luke, and Beamon the Leopard of the Danube, the commander of the Duchy of the Danube, who, having been defeated by me, have sworn allegiance to me in the name of their family, hoping to be recognized by His Majesty and given the official title of Imperial Knight. ”

Shagru was stunned for a moment, and gradually, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he laughed: "Ray, Ray, you are really amazing. When I used to be a prince, I fought against Rocat, hehe... Shagru's facial muscles twitched strangely, at that time, Rokat was still young, he had just become a general in Fort Carson, and accompanied the diplomats of their principality to the Van Empire to pay tribute, and Shagru was jealous and jealous with him in a restaurant, Shagru was very aware of Rocat's strength.

He nodded, and said, "Rocat, Ingle, Beamon, you come out, since you have sworn allegiance to General Lei, then I will also give you the honor and status you deserve." ”

The three Rocat, who had no armor or weapons on their bodies, slowly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Shagru. Shagru glanced at Rokat with a strange smile, suddenly pulled out his sword, knocked the shoulders of the three times heavily, and drank: "In the name of the Emperor of the Van Empire, I bestow you the title of Imperial Honorary Knight, and crown you as the Imperial Honorary Sir and belong to the family of Count Lei." You should keep your oath and serve the Count of Ray for the rest of your life, without any disobedience... Krees, seal my seal on the three of them and spread it across the continent. ”

Although Shagru believed that according to Rocat's identity and status, it would be impossible to betray them in the future, but for the sake of Lei's interests, he wanted to let everyone in the world know that the three belonged to Lei, and let them have no way to betray Lei in the future, otherwise they would be completely ruined in the aristocratic circle of the entire continent and would never be able to turn over.

Shagru praised Ray's methods very much, and he muttered in his heart: "Thunder, this kid is very powerful, he can actually subdue the three of them? They have passed the official knight promotion test in the Imperial Knight Association, and their strength should surpass the Golden Fifth Order Knight... No wonder the three principalities were pacified so quickly, and the leaders of the principalities who dared to love the principalities had already been subdued by Lei. ”

After getting the official seal of Shagru, the three of them also put their minds at ease, they will be the nobles of the empire in the future, and with the care of Ray, Jerry, and Butters, no one will come to find their rights and wrongs, after all, the soldiers of the 130,000 Jaguar Legion died because of their schemes.

The group, elated, at least on the surface, followed Shagru's carriage and walked slowly towards the palace. On both sides of the road, there were countless people in the imperial capital, they were all cheering, and threw some inexplicable sundries into the sky, it seemed that some bad people were cleaning and cleaning their homes by the way. 170,000 Jaguar soldiers, led by the Praetorian Guards, slowly drove towards their camp near the imperial capital. No one had noticed, a carriage was tightly covered, and under the escort of a wild dragon and a silver wolf knight, it slowly walked at the back of the team.

The nobles of the Walters family looked back and forth in the queue one by one with frowns, even if Bicarter was injured, none of his subordinate guards and knights would be missing, right? And the behavior of the three of them was so strange, Duke Walters's heart twitched violently, he made a few gestures, and several important members of his family immediately ordered his guards to go to the camp of the Jaguar Legion to inquire about the news.

Unfortunately, the cunning Sidoc had already thought of this, and as soon as the knights of the guards were out of everyone's sight, the agents of the garrison under Shaxx knocked them out with all kinds of light or bad means, and threw them into the gutter by the side of the road.

Ray sat on his horse and whispered: "Okay, you are now the nobles of the empire, there is nothing to worry about, the more people you kill from the Jaguar Legion, it can only prove that you are more capable, and when the time comes, I will intercede with Your Majesty, he will not do anything to you." Anyway, just put all the blame on Bicart's head, and with those old guys helping out, we just have to wait and see the excitement. What do you have to worry about?"

Jerry whispered beside him: "Yes, as long as you perform well in the later wars and make more meritorious contributions, the most important military merit in our Van Empire, you can be promoted from the non-hereditary honorary knight to the baron and viscount, and then you will officially become the nobles of the empire, plus the care of Lord Lei, what are you afraid of? Hehe,My family can also be counted in it... But you're going to have a good time with me. ”

In the crowd of cheering people next to him, a child's shrill cry suddenly came: "Thunder." ”

Lei hurriedly turned around, but saw that Lin Nazi was jumping desperately in the crowd like a monkey, waving a piece of cloth from where he didn't know where he got it. Ray's eyes quickly searched the crowd, and at the back of the crowd, next to the door of a shop, Ray finally found the person he was looking for. Kerry, dressed in a white cloth dress, was standing there, looking at Ray with a smile on her face. The stupid look in Ray's eyes vanished, and he pointed to himself, and then to Shagru's car, with a look of sorry on his face.

Klee smiled and nodded, waving her arm at Ray. Rocat, Ingle, and Jerry next to them saw all this, and Jerry immediately whistled: "Woohoo, we have a child who fell in love... Hahaha... ”

A burst of maniacal laughter rang out, but it was not abrupt in the noisy cheers around it. Butters clearly saw the exchange of eyes between Ray and Klee, and couldn't help but have a flash of disappointment in his eyes. Originally, he wanted to rely on his daughter and tie Lei to his family, it seems that this plan will not work, unless it is to kill the girl, but there is no leaky wall in the world, and they don't need to risk conflict with Lei. So, I can only rely on emotional investment, well, I hope that Chrysio kid can have a good relationship with them...

Butters is still thinking about how to deal with Shagru's anger, how to channel Shagru's anger on the entire Walters family, and protect the three of them, which is a good opportunity to sell favor to Ray. Whatever Ray's intentions, it was obvious that he valued Rocat, so if he could save Rocat's life in Shagru's anger, Ray would be grateful, right?

A grand banquet was held at the Royal Palace, and none of the protagonists of the banquet were present. In the secret study in a corner of the palace, Shagru, the four ministers, Ray, Jerry, and Butters sat in chairs, all looking at a certain point on the carpet in a daze with gloomy faces.

After a long time, Shagru said: "Okay, it's good, the Jaguar Legion actually lost half of its combat power, good, good... Billat, he actually betrayed the Empire, this damn thing. ”

Ray said a little apprehensively: "Your Majesty, I feel sorry for the losses suffered by the Jaguar Legion, and Rokat and they are too... ”

Shagru burst out laughing, but there was no joy in his laughter: "It's okay, Rokat they can take out almost half of the Jaguar Army, it's their ability, it proves that they are rare generals, ha, I won't be angry." The Jaguar Legion has lost so much, then, the three of them plus their elite archers, it should be regarded as making up for our losses, they killed 130,000 imperial elites, then they have to take on the task of those 130,000 elites on the battlefield. ”

Lei was overjoyed, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, thank you for your magnanimity, I swear, I will definitely lead them to level the capital of the Six Kingdoms." ”

Shagru looked at Ray, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, good, Ray, remember your words, don't let me down." Stepping on the capital of the six countries, hehe, this is our biggest dream, so that the entire continent is under the jurisdiction of our Van Empire, what a wonderful thing... However, I was very angry, really, I wasn't angry that Rokat had killed 130,000 of our Imperial elites, at that time, they fought back against the Imperial Army, that was their duty, I was angry that Bicarter, a member of the Walters family. The Walters family, they have gained my trust, I handed over two of the three major military legions to them, and their family members, is this how they repay my trust?"

Shagru stood up suddenly, and slapped the tea table next to him to pieces: "I'm angry, so, the Walters family must pay." They must pay a terrible price for the death of the 130,000 elite of the Empire... Siddock, the betrayer of the Empire, what should be done?"

Siddock quickly stood up and said respectfully: "According to the imperial military law, those who betray the empire in battle will be killed, and the highest title of the family will be lowered by one level... And General Bicarter, oh no, it's Bicat's plot this time is particularly bad, he not only betrayed the Empire, but also deliberately proposed that he ordered to mislead the Imperial army into an ambush in exchange for his own life, this kind of behavior... There has never been a time in the history of the empire, and the ministers did not dare to make their own decisions. ”

Shagru's face was black, his eyes were red, and the murderous aura on his body permeated the entire study as if it were substance. He said coldly, "There's no precedent, is there?"

Messeau's 'kind and kind' persuasion said: "Your Majesty, Bicarter's behavior is to disgrace the entire empire, think that if the soldiers on the front line know about his bad behavior, then, I am afraid that the morale of the entire empire will be seriously hit, we don't need to mention anything about conquering the continent in a few years, other countries will look at our jokes, the commander of the empire, actually betrayed the empire, this is a very bad incident... However, after all, we have to consider that the Walts family still has merit in the past, although their family has produced several unsuccessful members recently, but considering their past merits, aren't we?" Messeau bowed slightly carefully, and a sinister smile hung on the corner of his mouth where Shagru could not see.

Shagru howled frantically, "Fuck... Oh, dear Messeau, you are a kind-hearted elder. However, if we don't deal with this incident strictly, what kind of example will we set for the nobles of the empire? Do we want to tell them that they don't have to bear any price after betraying the empire? No, I will never allow such a thing to happen, I will... Shagru was silent for a moment, what the hell should he do?

Krees said lightly: "Oh, Your Majesty, if you want to deal with the Walts family, I'm afraid it's not the right time." Their family controls two major military lines, and the officers of both military lines are members of their families or knights loyal to their families, if they want to... Their hundreds of thousands of troops are in the direct territory of the imperial capital... This betrayal of Bikat can be said to be Bickat himself greedy for life and afraid of death, but the reason, the deepest reason, we still don't know. Vaguely, a charge of rebellion was inadvertently buckled on the heads of the Walters family.

Shagru took a long breath and asked in a low voice, "Krees... Your concerns are well founded, but ... Not... ”

Jerry and Ray didn't have flower arrangement, this kind of intrigue and scourge of a family's plan is likely to offend anyone with a word, there is no need to say anything.

Siddock smiled: "Your Majesty, I have a plan. If we make the matter of Bicarter's treason public, I am afraid that the opposition of the Walters family will make them take some unforeseen actions, we are now empty in the imperial capital, plus the 170,000 horses of the Jaguar Legion and the army of the garrison, we can only fight with the Praetorian Guard and the Guard, this is unsafe, very unsafe, so we cannot openly judge Bicart in the entire aristocratic circle. ”

Shaxx said gloomily: "With the ministers of the military department as the main body, and the big knights of the Knight Guild as jurors, we can try Bicart in secret and leave a favor for the Walts family." But the power in the hands of the Walters is too powerful, and we must find a way to ensure the security of the empire... In recent years, it has become more and more difficult for me to place spies between the Guards and the Praetorian Guards. They only use members of their own family, hehe, this is not in line with the needs of the security of the empire. ”

Shagru let out a breath and said viciously: "I understand, then, Siddock, you mobilize the Praetorian Guard and the Guards to accompany the iron cavalry of the Bicester Empire, go south together, and leave the Jaguar Legion and the Legion of the Garrison in the territory of the imperial capital." Duke Messeau, Duke Sidock, you two have mobilized a part of the private army in your family's territory to the imperial capital, and I believe in your loyalty... Siddock, you give the order now, and the two legions of the Guards and the Praetorian Guard will immediately go south. ”

Siddock ran away, and he worked tirelessly so that his son could inherit his place.

Shagru said gloomily: "When the army of the Walts family arrives in the province of Sili, I will ask General Gaddafi to disperse them... Shaxx, your spy organization uses my secret decree to capture all the generals of the Walts family, and those who dare to resist will be punished on the spot. Officers are drawn from the three major legions of the Dragon, the Silver Wolf, and the Tyrannical Lion to control the legions of the two major military lines. Shaxx, you go and draw up the will, and I will sign it. ”

Shaxx bowed respectfully, cautiously walked to the side of the study, glanced at Shagru again, and after seeing Shagru nod, he carefully pulled out a chapter of royal parchment inlaid with gold edges, took out a superb quill, and began to write.

Shagru flicked his fingers, pondered for a while, and said, "Krees, you contact that guy from Bobkaat, and if the Praetorian Guards and Guards have any abnormalities on their way south, kill me and kill them all." Hmph, what I need is warriors who are loyal only to the Empire, not those who may be rebellious. ”

Krees hurriedly complied and carefully sat back in his chair. Shagru continued to instruct: "Shadow, your subordinates have sent a group of people to follow General Lei and General Jerry south, the two generals can set off now, you follow the armies of the two major military systems to advance together, if they dare to make any changes, you can dispose of the commanders of those two legions at will, understand?"

A man's voice came from a corner of the study: "Your Majesty, I know, I sent twenty good men to accompany the two generals. ”

Ray, Jerry, and Butters shuddered, they didn't realize that there was still a person in the study. Only Messo, Shaxx, and Krees didn't move their eyebrows, they already knew that there was such a group of secret people in the royal family, and they were also Shagru's most trusted agents.

Shagru sighed: "Ha, dare to betray the Empire? Hmph, I want to make them pay... I will be present at the time of the secret trial, and you will keep an eye on the people of the Walters family in the last few days, and keep a strict guard against any unusual movement from them. Siddock's orders should have reached them, the Guards and the Praetorian Guards should have been dispatched, Ray, you should go now. Shadow, hand over your people to Ray. ”

Ray and Jerry glanced at each other, didn't dare to say anything, and just walked out of the study. Lei muttered in a low voice: "Alas, I thought I could rest for two days, but it looks like I'm about to leave." ”

Jerry laughed at him mercilessly: "Is it that little girl who can't bear you?" hahahaha, but Ray, you have a chance to be with her, why don't you tell your Comoso butler to marry now? Hahaha, don't be sad, when we finish this battle, you should also be the lord of a large territory, and when the time comes, you will definitely become Lord Lei. I promise, haha. ”

Lei sighed in a low voice: "Duke Lei, a nice title, but I can't live until that time." Jerry, this attack on the Principality Alliance, we have already lost 130,000 troops. And the next thing is that we have to attack the six empires in the chaos of the continent, even if we don't have to go to war with the six empires at the same time, but what price we still have to pay to achieve our goal. ”

Jerry's face tensed, and the two pressed close together, walking side by side down the long hallway. Underneath each pillar in the corridor, there was a tall knight of the Forbidden Palace standing there, looking at the two of them with reverence. The burning gaze of those knights didn't bring any warmth to the two of them, they just felt their hearts shrink into a ball, and a chill slowly rose. Jerry sighed, "No matter what, we have to fulfill our mission." ”

Lei whispered: "Even if the mainland is full of blood. ”

Jerry picked up his words: "Even if the mainland is full of blood, as long as our people can live in a non-threatening environment in the future, it will be cost-effective." ”

The sound of deliberately heavy footsteps came, and twenty fierce young men gently rushed up from behind, they were dressed in tight black, carrying a slender black sheath one-handed sword behind their backs, and their pale faces were like a group of ghosts in the reflection of the light. Ray and Jerry glanced back, but their eyes were pierced by the cold aura on their bodies, and they couldn't help but quickly blink their eyes and turn their heads away. These palace agents under the direct control of Shagru are rare masters just from their breath, the only pity is that they are not suitable for the battlefield, their physique is too thin.

Ray and Jerry walked back to the banquet hall with strange expressions, no matter who it was, with twenty ghostly killers behind them, they wouldn't be in a good mood. Ray grabbed Lomat, who was dancing with a noble lady, and whispered in his ear: "You send someone to inform Klee that we are about to leave, and when I return to the imperial capital, I will go to see her... Inform the brothers, to go, we go to the barracks of the Praetorian Guard and the Guards, and we set off with them. ”

Lomat was stunned for a moment: "My lord, what's the matter? Are they going south too?" Suddenly, Lomat seemed to understand something, nodded hurriedly, pulled Crete beside him, and the two walked out quickly. Over there, the three Rocat, who were standing in the corner and watching many Vantate nobles dancing with expressionless faces, saw Ray and Jerry appear, and also walked over briskly, with a questioning look in their eyes.

Ray nodded at them, a smile on his lips, signaling that everything was arranged and they didn't have to worry about anything. The thick aura of worry on Rocat, Ingle, and Beamon disappeared immediately, and a smile appeared on their faces. Rokat let out a long breath, and a fierce aura appeared on him, Ingle took a glass of wine lightly and poured it into his mouth, and Beamon, who was already grinning, began to look for the noble ladies and women in the crowd.

Ray smiled: "Jerry, look at them, but they don't have a chance to enjoy anymore, and we're going to go." ”

Jerry nodded lightly, and just as he was about to say something, a soft female voice came from the two of them: "Two generals, if I am not mistaken, you are Lieutenant General Lei and Lieutenant General Jerry, right?

Ray and Jerry turned, and standing five feet away from the two of them was a little girl with ebony black hair, and skin as white and delicate as ivory. Big eyes, long eyelashes, blue eyes revealed lively and lovely eyes, and the delicate face was so beautiful, the large number of noble ladies around him suddenly lost color. The little girl held a slender ivory-faced folding fan, gently patted her left hand, tilted her head to look at Lei, and looked very naughty. A milky white dress set off her slender and bumpy figure, and the milky white pearl necklace around her neck was the only jewelry on her body, which just made her little face exude a faint brilliance like a bright moon.

Ray looked at the little girl who looked like a doll, and gestured a little funny. His palm slashed from the top of the chick's head to his body, but the height of the chick was less than his chest, and Lei laughed: "Honorable young lady, do you think the two of us can dance together? ”

The chick opened her mouth slightly, looked at Lei's figure like a big bear, and frowned slightly. And Jerry, who was next to Ray, almost burst out laughing: "Damn, this bastard, there is such a beautiful young lady who sent it to the door by herself, and she doesn't even know how to hook up properly? Hmm, look at this girl's figure, it's still a virgin... Hey... However, it's really strange, this chick can attend today's banquet, then she is also a member of the big family, why have I never seen it? Are there any noble ladies I don't know in the imperial capital?"

Ray was still smirking: "Little girl, you go find someone else to dance, Jerry and I have things to do, and we're going to leave now." Ha ha... With that, Ray ignored the clause in aristocratic etiquette that the knight must respond to the noblewoman's invitation, and dragged Jerry away as if he were a child. Jerry hurriedly smiled at the little girl: "Aha, noble beautiful young lady, when we return to the imperial capital again, I will definitely be happy to dance with you." Jerry's eyes glanced at the chick a little greedily, and then he shuddered all over.

Ray forcibly pulled Jerry out of the hall and muttered, "What's wrong with you, what the hell are you doing?"

Jerry nodded hurriedly: "Oh my God, Ray, didn't you see that little coat of arms on that chick's sleeve? That's the sign of His Majesty's own uncle, the honorable Prince Andrei, the prince has a big fief in the west, and it is said that his daughter is the first beauty of the royal family, it seems that this chick... A county lord took the initiative to invite you to dance, and you actually refused?"

Lei snorted: "I don't care if she's the county lord or the princess, anyway, our order now is to set off south quickly, don't think about finding a woman." Jerry, sooner or later you're going to die on a woman's belly. Rocat and Ingle, who were behind the two, nodded slightly after hearing Ray's words, and there was a look of appreciation in their eyes.

In the hall, Miss County Lord's smile turned around, and the folding fan in her hand opened with a 'swish', covering half of her face: "It's really interesting, he is not moved by my beauty, hmm, is he an idiot? Look at that Jerry, he is simply a pervert, and this thunder... I'm not in a hurry, sooner or later you'll fall into my palm ... The most promising young general of the Empire? Hehe, I like this title. ”

In the dark night, the two major legions of the Guards and the Praetorian Guard, under the urgent order of the military headquarters, secretly set off, they will meet with the iron cavalry led by Bobkat three hundred miles to the south, and then continue to the south to wait for the opportunity to attack the Smart Empire. The bigwigs of the Walters family are still waiting for the reports of their own personal guard knights, and they are all being pestered by someone in the banquet in the palace, intentionally or unintentionally, where is there time to pay attention to this normal military transfer?

Accompanying the south, there are also a total of 2,000 high-level mages who have been coerced by various means in the past six months in the Van Empire, and all of them have thick masks on their faces, in case their old friends recognize them...

In a house in the Furious War City, a young girl was praying in a low voice: "God, if you really exist in this world, please bless Lord Lei and let him come back safely... ”
