Guessing the identity of the nezumi in front of him was not difficult for Marcus. Even though the appearance and voice are completely unrecognizable, the gender of the rat-man can still be guessed by its size and the way it speaks. And in the kingdom, the only woman who has been in contact with the current king's hand and will speak to him in this tone, and who may appear here, is undoubtedly the daughter of Count Salon, who has met him several times in the royal capital, Gloria. You know, although Gloria didn't like the bloated Marcus at the beginning, the poor Salonian made the girl more pragmatic than her peers, at least she understood that this "fat pig" who was ridiculed by various aristocratic ladies had wisdom that they couldn't understand at all.

"That's right, it's me. Gloria nodded, her mouth slightly cocked. It was supposed to be a smile of relief, but in the eyes of humans, only fangs were visible under the lips.

"Lord Marcus, I don't think you should have ventured so alone. Andrea, who was following the Hand of the King, spoke. His brow furrowed, looking rather impatient. Honestly, the Raging Lion doesn't care who the nezumi in front of her is, because whatever she used to be is now just one of the ugly monsters.

However, this time, Marcus did not easily agree with Duke Kroger's proposal, he stretched out his hand to signal the knights who protected him not to act rashly, and even turned back to the knights who were close to Andrea and hinted with his eyes not to let the lord make any sudden and irreversible moves. Then, under the gaze of all the allied soldiers and generals on the city walls, Marcus took two steps forward, completely exposing himself to the nezumi's attack, and then bowed, as if the nezumi in front of him was still the noble girl.

"It is a comfort to see you again, Ms. Salon. I am deeply sorry for what happened to you and your family. However, I want you to be aware that while you still have the name of Saron, your identity has become a sworn enemy that the kingdom must eradicate. Please don't leave this to chance, if you just come to say hello to me, you've already achieved your goal. In this battle, there is no room for Marcus and Gloria, we are only among the King Hand and the Nezumi of the Greylion, sorry I don't know your status in the same kind, but I think you know what I mean, right?" After this long list of diplomatic words, Marcus said two words to Gloria, and walked away.

But Gloria just continued to laugh, her gaze glancing over the man in front of her to the soldiers behind him. "I've seen too many family flags, and Valley City hasn't been so lively since the day it was built. This is really sorry for everyone, it is rare for the nobles of the kingdom to gather, but the Saron family has not even cleaned their own city. Fortunately, it's not too late, please watch, I won't let the name of the family be disgraced, and tomorrow at dawn, Valley City will be clean again. ”

The nezumi had once again confused the humans, who did not understand what Gloria meant. She didn't seem to have any intention of explaining further, and turned around and walked out of the range of the fire with the guards beside her. But when many archers couldn't resist the urge to shoot the nezumi to death, Gloria turned her head to look at her former compatriot one last time, "We'll clean up this city before sunrise tomorrow." So please give the Salons one last of their dignity, and please don't send troops until Dragonspine Mountain is illuminated. ”

With that, the rats walked out of the place where the torches could illuminate them, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing the faint green flames.

Marcus stood there in silence for a few seconds, then turned and walked back. He looked at the nobles who had come to meet him, and noticed that one of them had already drawn his weapon. Then he said in a tone of seriousness that he had never seen before, "Take back your weapons, gentlemen." Can't we even meet the last demands of House Salon, who have guarded the north for generations of the kingdom and deserve our respect. ”

"But she is—" retorted a nobleman, but before he could finish his sentence, he was yelled back by the King's Hand.

"She is the master of this place, although there is no ceremony, but in the kingdom lineage, Gloria Salon, is the last countess of Salon. We must accept her request!" may be because of the intimidating power of Marcus's furious beast-like voice as he spoke, or because of his position as the Hand of the King and Commander of the Alliance, or more likely because of the terrible glint in his eyes when he said this. The nobles and soldiers at the scene, including Andrea, no longer objected. The warriors unsheathed their bowstrings, sheathed their swords, and returned to their former posts as quietly as they had gathered them.

Marcus walked back to his position overlooking Vale, from which he could see that the Kroger army was still climbing the walls in an orderly manner, and the nezumi were not harassing them. The wind echoed low as it blew through the holes in the walls, as if a giant was whimpering. In this atmosphere, the angry lion walked to the side of the King's Hand.

"What you just said will make some people unhappy. Some of the soldiers already think you're acting too weirdly. ”

"And what about you, Lord Andrea, what do you think?"

Duke Kroger smiled and propped his hands on the wall, "Respecting the traditions of the nobility and the glory of the family will make the ancient family appreciate you even more." They will believe that you have inherited the will of the king, and it will be good for us. Besides, I can probably guess what the lady wants to do, and it won't hurt us to let the nezumi go and fight the demons first. ”

"But that means I guessed wrong. Demons are not summoned by nezumen. ”

"Hehe, does that matter? Demons and nezumi, it's not strange who betrays anyone, just make up a reason. Pity Sir Atticus, but a man of his age should have abdicated a long time ago, didn't he? I think you're very popular with the knights, and maybe you can have another title of knight of the kingdom besides the Hand of the King?"

"Aren't you afraid that there will be any bad consequences for me to have the right to speak and the power to fight at the same time?"

The Angry Lion laughed a few times, as if he had heard some funny joke, "You're a smart man, Marcus. But as far as I know, you're the only smart person in the Tellerreal family. I don't want a regent for a while, my dear friend, I want the royal family of the grey lion, and change my surname to Kroger. So, you see, I don't care that I have people like you around me, and the power of running a family is not something that one or two generations can do, even if you are in power, what step can your descendants do? I am very much looking forward to seeing that day. ”

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, and like the former king, I don't think I have any plans to get married. ”

"Oh, that's a surprise. I'd also like to introduce you to my sister, who has always admired your talent. ”

Marcus straightened up, not intending to linger any longer, and bowed to Andrea, "My talent is not worth mentioning, it's just that the first king thinks too highly of me." Let me retire first, I don't have much time to rest tonight. After saying that, he didn't care about the other party's reaction, and walked to his tent by himself. But in the process, the King's Hand glanced in the south, consciously or unconsciously, in the direction of most of the kingdom's territory, where there was no sulphur smoke, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the earth outlined a silver outline.

Beneath that distant silhouette, several figures just crossed the woods.
