The border of the city of Caroston.

A huge convoy slowly marched from the border of the Junen Empire towards the border of the Arissanret Empire!

"Count Els, there's a border checkpoint for the Empire of Arissanrite ahead!" the guard said loudly to Count Els in the carriage.

Els nodded, looking at his son and daughter who were playing on horseback not far away, with some smiles on his face.

"I haven't seen Orin in two years, and I don't know if Vivien has grown taller. His wife said with a smile.

"Yes, it must have grown a lot, Orin said in his last letter that Vivien was already the mage's apprentice. Els said with a smile.

"Els, talk to Orin about Tris and Vivien's marriage. The wife said with a smile.

Vivien must be glad to see Tris again. The wife added.

"I will. Els smiled, remembering that two years ago, Vivien had a great time with Triss.

The convoy slowly approached the watchtower!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Suddenly, a shrill voice shouted!

This was followed by the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" and sporadic bolts shot down from the watchtower!

"Defend, defend, defend quickly, protect Lord Earl!" the loyal guard roared loudly, drew his sword, raised his shield, and quickly assembled his formation!

"Defend quickly, prepare to evacuate! Defend quickly! Prepare to evacuate! Els's face changed suddenly when he heard the voice! He knew what an enemy attack on the border meant.

"How so? Els!" the wife watched with some horror as the convoy began to assemble, and one by one the shields were removed!

"Get the kids out now!I'm afraid we're falling victim to the Empire this time!Damn Congress!" Els said angrily with an ugly look on his face.

"Els, let's retreat together!" said his wife anxiously.

Shaking his head, Els frowned tightly: "I can't retreat, I must hold on to the convoy, you take the children and go quickly, one person and two horses, quickly retreat back!"

The wife hesitated slightly, looked at her husband resolutely and sadly, gritted her teeth, and immediately turned around and led the few children to evacuate the way they came.

"Archers ready to fight back!!!

On the outskirts of Carroston, in the heart of the Oak Cavalry camp.

"What did you say?" said Pato to his feet, and asked the cavalry who had come to report the news.

"Lord Pato, the border clash in which the border guards shot and killed one of Jun'en's convoys, led by the family of Count Els of the Jun's Empire!" the cavalry continued.

Pato's heart trembled, and he asked, "How is the Earl Els family?

"For the time being, the Earl of Els led the guards to defend the convoy, and he was killed by several arrows. The cavalry replied.

After listening to his words, Pato only felt a chill crawl from behind to the back of his head.

"Immediately notify the whole cavalry battalion, go to the border immediately, and after informing you, immediately enter the city and pass the news to the Interior Department, so that they can inform the principality and the empire at the same time!"

All the men were dispatched, and the cavalry battalion, which was hurrying on two horses, rushed to the border line almost as fast as possible.

Outside the border line, looking at the rows of corpses that the border guards had cleaned up, Pato trembled slightly as he held the hilt of his sword.

"Pato-sama. "The stout border guard officer walked over.

Pato gave him a cold look, muttered for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "War is coming. ”

"What are you going to do with these corpses, Lord Pato?" asked a cavalryman from a cavalry battalion.

Looking at Count Els, who had been hit by several arrows among the hundreds of corpses, Pato's face was extremely ugly, you must know that the personal relationship between Earl Els and Viscount Orlin, the lord of Carouston City, is very good, and the situation on the border is also because of the friendship between the two to maintain peace and stability for so long.

Knight Egger was taken away by the knight's court and was never heard from, and Orin, the lord of Caroston City, also went to the Imperial City of Durogal to lobby the nobles because of the matter of Knight Egger, Pato knew very well in his heart that the reason why Knight Egger was taken away was all because of his lynching of those Junen spies, and because of this, after Knight Iger was taken away, his heart has been tormented.

"Can anyone tell me how the hell this happened?" Pato glanced around with a cold gaze at the main members of the border guards.

"A crossbowman misses an arrow from the watchtower into the convoy, the convoy mistakenly thinks the enemy is attacking, and the movement is too loud to trigger a volley of crossbowmen from the watchtower, and then the convoy has archers to fight back, and it doesn't take long to ......," the border guard officer said mid-sentence, interrupted by Pato.

"The archers of the convoy counterattacked, did we have any casualties?" asked Pato with a cold gaze.

The border guard officer groaned for a moment and spat out two words from his mouth: "No ......"

Pato's face was extremely cold, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said to the border guard officer, "Put everyone on war alert, and find me the crossbowman who shot the first arrow, if you don't want to have your throat slit in your sleep." ”

"Yes, Pato-sama!" the group replied in unison.

After the order, Pato looked at the neat corpse on the ground in distraction, and his eyebrows kept beating.

"Mistress Pato, a man claiming to be Minnie has important news and wants to see you. A guard came up and said.

"Minnie, bring him here. Pato pondered for a moment, unable to remember the name.

Then a slightly thin man walked in.

Pato looked at him and asked, "Your message is better really important." ”

The man, Mini, nodded, and looked around calmly.

Pato nodded to the others and motioned for them to leave.

Then the others quickly left the room, and Pato looked at him coldly and said, "Say it." ”

Minnie groaned, "Knight Egger was hanged in the Imperial City of Durogar. ”

Pato was stunned, grabbed his collar in disbelief, looked him directly at him and asked, "What did you say?"

Minnie didn't struggle, as an ordinary person, the strength of a sixth-order cavalry was simply not something he could resist.

"It is not a secret that tens of thousands of people in the Imperial City of Durogal have witnessed the hanging of Knight Egger in the Square of the Judgment of Order, but many people have deliberately delayed the transmission of the news to the city of Caroston. Minnie said slowly.

Pato clutched his collar firmly, and Mini's bland narration made a nameless anger roll in his heart. But in the end, he pushed Minnie away, and his angry and inexplicable emotions made him dazed for a while.

After a long silence, Pato raised his eyes, looked at him and asked, "Why did you come to tell me about this, or at this time?" ”

"The war is coming, Knight Egger, just the first casualty of this war, Earl Els is the second, and if you don't want these cavalry of Oak Heart to be the next casualty, I can tell you what to do. After Mini finished speaking, an iron fist slammed into his face!

"Bang bang bang......" Minnie fell to the ground, making a series of sounds.

Pato drew his sword and pointed it angrily at his throat.

"Uh~poof, you can kill me, but after you kill me, you will live up to the last will of Knight Egger. Minnie spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood from her nose, and muttered to Pato.

Pato grabbed the steel sword, looked at the embarrassed Minnie's extraordinarily calm gaze, trembled slightly, and raised his hand to pierce Minnie's throat with a sword.

"After Knight Egger was hanged, his body was also transferred, and Knight Bobilis was sending Knight Egger's body to the East Coast, the only wish Knight Egger had left before he died. Minnie said to Pato with a puff.

Pato gripped the steel sword harder, aimed it at Minnie's throat, trembling for a long time, and finally turned around and slammed the sword into the table behind him, as if trying to exhaust his strength.

The sharp steel sword directly split the table in half under the tremendous force.

The sheer force made Pato's palms ache.

"Knight Egger stayed away from the Imperial City of Durogar and guarded the city of Carroston for so many years, and finally died under the conspiracy of the Royal City of Durogar. Minnie said slowly.

Pato turned around, looked at him coldly, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
