Leaving Samuel, crossing the Scarlet Plains, and crossing the three forks of the Black Songs, the knights who ran through the Burning Wilderness were unhindered, as if the arrogant orcs had vanished.

They also did not encounter the attack of the Demon Beasts, and the five hundred Secret Skill Knights, in the face of such a large number of armed forces, the instinct of the Demon Beasts to seek good fortune and avoid evil came into full play.

The army only stopped for a short time and spent most of the time on the road. It was naturally rushed, but it did not cause protests.

The human physique of the stars is already strong, and the knights who have cultivated are even more so, they don't sleep for a few days, there is no problem at all, and because of the "besieged" Reef City, the knights also expressed their understanding of the hurried journey.

The knights who hurried overnight were fearless, and Allen, as a mage, had much higher mental strength than knights, so he naturally didn't care about moving day and night, but he would consume mana because of this.

So just as they had been traveling for three days in a row, Reef City was close at hand.

Three days, this speed is still very fast, compared to when they came, but for Allen, although it has been shortened a lot, he still feels very tormented.

"I think, Master Allen, you'd better rest after you enter the city. ”

The army stopped at a high post and stared ahead, seeing that the leader Alan looked tired, Andrew touched his bald head and persuaded him.

"It's okay, I didn't do anything along the way, I didn't feel that tired.

You should be much more tired in comparison, and when I enter the city, I will go to Tyron myself, and you can rest first. ”

This was not just said to Andrew, but also to Morley and the knights behind him.

However, without waiting for the knights to respond, he continued to add: "Also, when Andre and the others come back, say thank you to them on my behalf, I guess I don't have the opportunity to say it myself." ”

Andrew was stunned, then nodded: "Okay." ”

Andre, who has a big personality, was sent by Allen to Breser to pick up the previous team of Golden Flame Guards and the boatman, and he was not with them, so Allen said so.

And for Allen's various performances along the way, Andrew didn't know what to say, because he already vaguely knew why Allen was so anxious, and therefore, he felt that it was better not to mix this kind of thing blindly.

"So, no surprises, let's go into the city!"

After saying this, Alan patted the horse's ass and rushed to the majestic city in front of him.

Not surprisingly, the originally dense orc army there had disappeared without a trace at this time.

"Losing the Forbidden Sky Stone, the orcs who burned the wilderness are no longer afraid, the most urgent thing for us now is to attack quickly to prevent the orc reinforcements from coming!"

"Reinforcements have to be guarded, orcs have always had easy communication, I suggest sending an emissary to the Emerald City to ask them for help, so that we don't fall into passivity. ”

"I'm afraid that the Emerald City has no time to take care of it, it is said that the orcs of Anfala have recently attacked the Emerald City, and there is no way to verify whether it is true or not, but coupled with the orcs of the Emerald Stone Forest, I don't dare to act rashly if I want to come to the Emerald City now. ”

"What about Nadek City, maybe we can find them..."

A group of knights, tall and stocky, handsome and old, gathered in the study to discuss something, pointing to the map on the desk, and from time to time to express their opinions.

Taryn sat behind his desk and didn't speak, just quietly listening to the knights' deliberations, squinting and thinking from time to time, as if he was brewing some plan.

"Bump!"

A loud kick in the door interrupted everyone's conversation, and countless pairs of eyes looked out of the door, and Allen's dusty figure immediately came into view.

"Master Allen?"

"Huh?"

"What are you?"

“....”

The knights looked at Alan who kicked in the door inexplicably, and didn't understand why he seemed to be so angry.

"Sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so...."

In this regard, Allen gave a barely plausible explanation.

The knights looked at him suspiciously, but they didn't say much, and Taryn behind the desk waved his hand, and they temporarily interrupted the meeting, and walked away one by one.

A tall blonde knight patted Allen on the shoulder before leaving, giving him a reassuring smile.

Alan smiled at him reluctantly. Then after hearing that the door to the study was closed, the smile retracted.

"Is it interesting?" Without the slightest greeting, Alan didn't sit down, just stood like this, his arms propped up on the desk, and coldly but directly questioned the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Yes. ”

Taryn nodded, looking up at the young man's embarrassed appearance, his eyes narrowing slightly, and he didn't seem surprised by his anger.

However, for his calmness, Alan was a little unacceptable, his hands supported on the desk were clenched, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he just wanted to say something.

"Do you want to do it?" Taryn suddenly asked, glancing at Allen's clenched fist with interest, "To tell you the truth, I don't think you can beat me." ”

Alan almost laughed at him, but he also found that his emotions seemed to be too excited, which was not conducive to the next negotiation.

So he took a deep breath and slowly stabilized his mood.

Finding a random chair and sitting down, Alan raised his eyes to look at Taryn, trying to make his tone as indifferent as possible: "Say, what the hell do you want to do? ”

"That's what you think. Taryn shook his head, his expression not showing any bad taste, but rather serious, and looking at his youngest son, he said, "Your arrogance is increasing day by day, and this needs to be improved." ”

Alan sneered, "If you mean that I never follow your arrangement, then I don't think I need to change anything at all." ”

Leaning back in his chair, Taryn looked at the young man in front of him and said as a matter of course: "It turns out that there is no mistake in my arrangement. ”

The calm and vigorous temperament, the identity of the earl lord, made his words seem very convincing, as if they should have been.

However, Alan didn't like him, and he asked, "Oh, what are you doing this time? 500 knights are coming to me as my little brother? I don't think I need their help!"

Without waiting for Tyron to respond, he immediately spoke: "And last time, you inexplicably set a marriage for me, and never asked for my personal opinion, do you really think it's right?"

"I'm here for your good. Taryn's answer was succinct.

Alan laughed angrily at him: "Good for me, well, gentle, elegant, she is indeed a rare beauty, it is said that the whole group of stars can't find a few, but what does this have to do with me?"

"Why don't you marry yourself if you like it? I don't like her!"

The young man looked a little out of shape now, to which Taryn shook his head, as if he had lost interest in explaining, and he finally said, "You can only do as I have arranged, because you have no strength to resist me, and you have no right to resist me." ”

“.......”

Silence, after Taryn said this, the study fell into a long state of silence, and Eren seemed to be greatly shaken by this, and opened his mouth to refute something, but finally the open mouth still tightened, and fell into deep thought without saying a word.

The Earl looked at his youngest son in surprise as to his abnormality, and then smiled inexplicably.

There were only two people in the study, him and Alan, and Alan was now thinking about something with his head down, so no one saw his smile, and for a long time it was only rigid and serious, and it seemed that he rarely smiled.

The rarity didn't last long, as the smile on Tyron's lips was fleeting, and he lowered his head and began to tidy up the things on his desk.

The muffled sound of books colliding, the rustle of turning pages, and the ticking of a mechanical pendulum from the Free Federation in the corner, the atmosphere in the study was dreary.

But it didn't take long for Alan to break the dullness.

"You're right. He looked up at Taryn, "I don't have the strength or right to resist you. ”

Taryn looked at the book with his head down, as if he didn't intend to pay attention to Alan.

However, Alan did not end his words, he continued: "So when I have the right to rebel against you, I will play you as you play with me now, and let you get a taste of what it is like to be tossed over and over again." ”

The young man's voice seemed very calm at this time, he seemed to have completely suppressed his anger and completely reasoned, but the words in his mouth seemed to be inconsistent.

"Then when I have the strength to resist you, I will beat you up and taste what it is like to be an unfilial son who is spurned by everyone, I have wanted to try this for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity. ”

Hearing this, Taryn finally looked up at him, and then—

"I'll see. ”

He laughed again.
