In the territory of the Yurasno Empire, there are many plains. www.biquge.info It was dusk and sunset, and on a vast road somewhere, Melwitz, dressed in golden griffin armor, looked vicissitudes in the light of the setting sun.

"Look for death!" Melwidz slashed the last black-clad roadblocker under his horse. He was surrounded by a dozen ownerless horses, and the people on the back of those horses had long since been burned to ashes by the Emperor's Flame Saw.

Ku Zhi put away his armor and patted his horse to Melwitz's side: "It seems that this Arino is not afraid that he will have trouble sleeping without the duke." ”

With a hint of worry in his eyes, Melwitz slowly moved forward with the Beastmaster: "If I can't return to the capital, I'm afraid the empire will fall into a situation where the people are in dire straits. ”

Kuzhi rode his horse to Merwitz, puzzled: "The people are not happy, what does the duke mean by this?"

"The prince is still a baby, and if I die, the entire empire will be ruled by Arena. When he was a prince, he was taxed five times as much as the rest of the land. If he is really put in power, will the taxes be reduced?"

Kuzhi said bluntly: "Lokosno and Yurasno have been fighting for many years, and if Arrenor is really put in power, it is only a matter of time before Lokosno annexes Yurasno." ”

"I have been told the secret that the Empress's violent death was only announced to the public, but in fact she was forcibly taken away. However, the speed at which Arena took control of the Imperial Capital was indeed beyond my expectations. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Ku Zhi's eyes: "It seems that the disappearance of the empress should have something to do with this Arinor." ”

"I still dare not assert that at that time, the throne was contested, and Arynor was the most likely to ascend the throne, but the first emperor suddenly passed on to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Even if it has something to do with him, as long as I don't have conclusive evidence in my hands, I can't help him at all. ”

Kuzhi's thoughts were a little confused, and after he had sorted them out, he said to Melivitz: "Lokosno's original battle plan was this summer, and the winter war is really a burden. At that time, there was a lot of opposition in the country, but in the end, troops were mobilized to attack. ”

"What do you mean—" Melwitz and Kuzhi looked at each other and didn't go any further. Everyone galloped quickly in the direction of the imperial capital.

The Diluo River, which traverses the Yurasno Empire, is more than 10,000 kilometers long. The river meanders upstream, calm in the upper reaches and agitated in the middle, and is close to the southern border of the Yurasno Empire when it reaches the lower reaches.

Located in the middle of the Diluo River, a water fortress was built. The castle was named Dila Castle because it was located in the center of the Dila River.

To cross the Diluo River, enter the city of Diluo first.

The middle reaches of the Diluo River have the widest riverbed and the widest spanning area. To cross the river, a boat must be taken, and a wrist-thick hemp rope must be tied to the stern of the boat, and the other side must be tied to a huge stone pillar outside the city of Diluo, so as not to be swept away by the rushing current. If someone wants to swim across the river on a whim, then he is completely sure that he will be sent into the belly of the fish.

Among the return routes drawn up by Meliwitz is the city of Diluo. And Melwiitz led a group of people and horses to approach the city of Diluo.

Regent of Arena, he doesn't have any Merwizz handles, so it's obviously not practical to plant a crime. But who is willing to share the power in his hands with others, in order to get rid of the big trouble, Arena will cast a wide net.

But in all the cities that Melwitz might pass, Arena installed his men......

The new governor of the city, Isis Leco, was one of the generals appointed by Arena to obstruct the interception of Melwiice.

Isl Leke does have a lot of fighting power, he has a strength of 200 pounds in one hand, and he is good at wielding a multi-edged sledgehammer.

Generally, the sledgehammer resembles a round melon, or a square shape. But this multi-edged sledgehammer has a strange shape, like a cone and an angle. The multi-edged sledgehammer is arranged in an orderly manner with layers of small cones, so it is named multi-edged sledgehammer.

The weight of this hammer is at least more than 180 pounds, and ordinary people are very difficult to drag. But the multi-edged sledgehammer wielded it like a child's toy in Isl Lyco's hands.

Isl Leck was a burly man with a swarky head and no hair on the top of his head. He did not have high requirements for armor, and often went shirtless when he was in the heat of battle. His greatest habit is drinking, and there is rarely a day when he is not seen drinking.

Since Isl Lecoe became the governor of Diluo, he summoned his lieutenants to a banquet and drank every day when he had nothing to do.

Today, as in the past, the Isis feast invites the crowd to enjoy together. The thing that I am most afraid of drinking is to spoil the fun, and Is, who is on the head of the wine, receives the information that Meliwitz is rushing to Diluo.

At some point, the banquet became a military council.

An adjutant general put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a sad face: "Your Excellency the Governor, the Lord Regent sent me to this Diluo City to intercept and kill Meliwitz, and I also asked the Governor to make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

Isis gave the lieutenant a blank look, ignored it, and only cared about drinking.

Seeing that Iss did not reply, another lieutenant got up and said, "Melivitz is the number one warrior of my Yurasno, and he cannot be defeated. I also ask the Governor to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible, so as not to get messy. ”

Hearing this, Is's eyes widened with anger, and he slammed the wine glass in his hand: "Tsk! What the first warrior, what is invincible! It's all a false name, if you really fight with Uncle Ben, I don't know if he can do it!"

As soon as Is's angry voice fell, another person said, "Your Excellency, have you forgotten the two in the two cities of Jiao Pena and Kangqiu?"

Hearing this, Isis burst out laughing, and his expression was full of disdain: "What are you doing with those two wastes! Die, and bother Uncle Ben to avenge them." ”

When the speaker saw that Isis was like this, he spoke up again: "Governor, do you know ......?"

Isis was already ruined, and after pinching the cup, he smashed the table in front of him with his palm: "Hmph! Don't say it again! Drink and drink, who dares to talk about Melwitz again, don't blame Uncle Ben for being dealt with by military law!"

Seeing that Isis was stubborn, the lieutenants pondered the matter in their hearts while drinking and drinking, and said no more.

Actually, in Is's heart, he didn't care when Meliwitz arrived in Diluo City. He was a ranger, and because he had received the grace of Arinor's full stomach, he followed. This is how he became the governor of the city of Diluo.

He believes that the legends in the world are all apocryphal, and the legends of a hundred mouths will only add oil and ink, so even if Melwitz really slays a dragon, it should be just a small dragon. According to Is's strength, it would be easy to smash an underage dragon to death.

On 7 February, Melwiez and his party arrived in the precinct of the city.

At this time, they rode to a low hillside, and Kuzhi urged the white horse under his crotch to the top of the hillside. Looking from the hillside, he vaguely saw a wide river.

Melwitz then rode up to the slope of the hill, leaving a hundred light horsemen to wait at the bottom of the hill. He stopped and looked farther away.

The breeze was blowing, and Ku Zhi's expression relaxed: "Duke, we can just take a break in this Diluo City." ”

Melwitz bowed slightly: "Just do as you say, let's go." ”

Kuzhi squinted at the deep Melwiez: "Don't worry, Duke, I have sent people to spread the triumphant exploits along the way. The people of the previous cities were all greeted by the road, and I think this Diluo City will not be difficult to walk. ”

"Hopefully, if Di Luo is correct, he will be one step closer to the imperial capital. Melwiitz turned his horse's head and went down the hill, followed by Kuzhi.

After a short rest, Melwicz and his party galloped in the direction of the city.

Saint-Ro Helrant, February 8, 982.

Castle of Diluo, in the cellar of the Governor's Palace. Governor Isis received a secret report from his men that Meliwitz would arrive in front of the city in less than a moment with a hundred light cavalry.

Iss did not inform his lieutenants of Melwitz's imminent arrival, for he was too lazy to listen to the useless advice.

Without thinking, Isis summoned his soldiers and ordered three thousand heavily armored cavalry to leave the city and gallop towards the direction where Meliwitz was.

He was so confident that he was not at all afraid of the famous Melwitz. He led 3,000 heavy cavalry out of the city for two main purposes: first, to witness how he won the title of the first warrior of Yurasno, and second, after all, there were only 100 cavalry guards around Meliwicz, and then he only needed to let these 3,000 heavy cavalry be killed.
