Return countdown: 12 days.

There was a ticking sound of water splashing outside the window, and Lin Xuan's gaze staring at the book froze, and he slowly raised his head.

“…… Is it raining......" his eyes were in a trance, obviously he had come to this world not long ago, but it seemed to have been a long time ago, and even the familiar "home" began to be a little blurred.

Shaking his head, "Anyway, it's not ......."

Putting down the heavy law books, Lin Xuan rubbed his temples, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside, it was already pouring rain.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the "report".

"Come in...... How's going on in Boujito? Lin Xuan didn't turn back and asked indifferently.

"Report to your lordship, Lubercius's army is still facing off against Lord Lyudmila's army in front of Bujito, and there have been no large-scale clashes between the two sides."

"Do you know where Elizabeth Fomina is?"

"Yes" The soldier's tone became a little excited: "The battle concubine of Lubercius has been recalled to the royal capital with the intervention of the king of Gistato"

Lin Xuan seemed to have expected it, and asked noncommittally, "What about the Duchy of Ostrode?" ”

"This ...... Still fighting Litemeliz"

Lin Xuan was silent.

"My lord, there is one more thing ......"

"Say"

"The way in which the news was delivered by pigeons had been detected by the troops of Ostrode and Luberseau, who had not received any news since the morning......"

Lin Xuan was stunned: "Not one?" ”

"Yes, it's quite confusing below, generally speaking, even if it is discovered, it will not end all communication points in such a short time......" The soldier's tone was also mixed with incredulity.

Lin Xuan's brows furrowed, and he muttered, "If it's broken, don't worry about it......"

"Yes, the subordinates retired—"

"Wait!" Lin Xuan interrupted suddenly. "Is the blockade of the West City Gate, the East City Gate, and the South City Gate ready?"

The soldier's body trembled, as if remembering something terrible, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, my lord, although those civilians have protested, they have been suppressed."

Staring at the continuous raindrops outside the window, for a long time.

"It's sealed"

"Huh?"

"With the buildings that were torn down, the three gates were sealed"

“…… Yes, my lord" Although he was full of doubts, but forced by Lin Xuan's usual "murderous" impression, the soldiers still accepted the order honestly.

"Remember, all of them are blocked, and the thickness should be at least the same as the city wall," Lin Xuan emphasized calmly.

“…… Yes"

The rain is getting heavier.

―――――― Split ――――――

It's been a week since Lyudmila and his troops left Ordz for Bougitto, and the capital, Orz, the center of Olmuz, has been calm - at least on the surface.

Taking advantage of this short period of "peace", Lin Xuan began to "reform" the country.

A large number of directives have been issued to develop the economy, simplify management, and strengthen military power...... In a short period of time, most of Olmuz's original policy was revised, which naturally touched the interests of the old class, and for these rebels, not to mention those who were far away, if they were in Olz, there was only one way - to kill.

In seven days, the number of people who died on the guillotine north of Orts set a new record for the Gistato, and most of them were nobles.

For a moment, the smell of blood filled almost the entire Olds.

Needless to say, the nobles of Olds were also in constant fear that one day, the executioner would stick a butcher's knife above their heads.

Of course, after "traitor", Lin Xuan won the title of "demon".

―――――― Split ――――――

As if to wash away the bloody blood that wandered in the city, the heavy rain that lasted all day did not stop in the evening, but had a greater trend.

At this time, Lin Xuan received a message from the patrol on the city wall.

"Are you sure you read that right?" Lin Xuan frowned and asked the soaking scout.

"Yes, my lord—" the scout's voice was terrified, "that's the banner of Tenardiye"

(Tenardiye...... Did Ellionora admit her mistake? ）

Recalling the corpse he saw with his own eyes, Lin Xuan rejected this judgment again. (One person sees that it is possible, but it is impossible for everyone to be mistaken, and there is no trace of camouflage on the corpse...... ）

Lin Xuan tapped the table lightly with his left hand.

(It is also impossible to be a trained stand-in, and the final war was indeed commanded by him himself - but in this case, where did these people come from...... ）

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes: "Find out the approximate strength, and also, find those well-informed people in the city, and let them find a way to identify those people from that territory, if they can't find out, they will be killed."

The scout looked at Lin Xuan blankly, unable to understand what he meant for a while.

Lin Xuan's brows furrowed again: "Those soldiers are pretended to be the noble soldiers of Olmuz."

"Ah...... Be! The scout reacted and hurriedly retreated.

After the scout retreated, Lin Xuan was still thinking.

(If it were just the soldiers of the nobility, it would not have been possible to assemble them...... All the counts and above died in the battle of Ords, and the remaining minor nobles did not have enough prestige to gather such an army and run to Ords...... Also, it's still the flag of Tenardier-)

My mind frantically searched for all the information I knew, but I still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

(Could it really be the remnants of Tenardier, united with the nobles of Olmuz?) )

After thinking hard to no avail, Lin Xuan let out a long breath.

Step into the rain.

Compared with a week ago, I don't know if it was due to the heavy rain or the impact of Lin Xuan's executions and killings for days, Alz became more and more silent, and there were even few pedestrians on the huge street.

Lin Xuan walked through the rain curtain with a blank face and came to the city wall of the northern city gate.

The soldiers who retreated and saluted, Lin Xuan looked at it.

The continuous raindrops made the visibility at its lowest point, and from a distance, except for the withered yellow of the earth, there was a blur behind it, and only the flag embroidered with the familiar emblem of the Tenardiye family could barely be seen.

Eyes closed, open.

A faint black shadow hovers in it.

Cold thoughts that seem to freeze the body.

Gene Lock: One stage opens, characteristics: enhanced confirmation, and all attributes are doubled during the duration.

Through the heavy rain curtain, a behemoth came into view.

Nine meters in length, three meters in height, brown crust, sharp teeth, heavy claws, that's - Earth Dragon!
