Chapter 163: Night

"Those Spaniards can testify that Paula the witch has blown herself up. Now this case is a headless public case. ”

Dylan looked at Paula with a smile and said, "In this world, the only people who know Tina's whereabouts are you and me. If, her news leaked ······. ”

Paula raised her head, her eyes just met Dylan's, and she looked at the cold light in Dylan's eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of horror.

Poof!

Paula suddenly fell to her knees, then pointed to the sky and swore, "If the news leaks, Paula is willing to die to prove my loyalty." ”

Hahahahaha·······

Dylan laughed, "Alright, alright, get up." I know that a person like you who is afraid of death will not dare to talk nonsense. ”

Dylan reached out and pulled Paula up, then said gently, "I was just joking." I finally got such a good card, how could I use her so easily? ”

"Isn't my lord going to trade Tina for ransom?"

Paula couldn't figure out what Dylan was trying to do.

Dylan turned his head and looked at Tina, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and the look on his face gradually calmed down. He said indifferently: "Change money? That's too wasteful." The Grand Duke of the White Wolf only has this son and a daughter, and if he doesn't pay a certain price, I won't let go. ”

"How?"

Paula asked, "The Grand Duke of the White Wolf has always wanted to take something out of his hand. If you don't have to grab it, I can't think of any other way. ”

"It's a long plan, first we need a place to stay. With a wave of Dylan's hand, Kania retreated into the void once more.

Paula proposed, "I have a small house in the city of Andullah, and the owner can stay for a while. ”

"Well, we're heading back to Andullah. ”

With that, the two walked in the direction of the city of Andullah.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a crowd near the city gates, and the citizens of Andullah were in a commotion for the return of Thors and others.

"This is the cavalry of the city defense army, what's wrong with them?"

"I've seen hundreds of them go out of town together. ”

"Didn't they go after the criminals? ”

"Hundreds of cavalry have come back with such a small number of people. ”

"Every time Lord Andura collects so much tax from us, he can't even guarantee the safety of the city. ”

"Oh, look at these incompetent guys, how they still have the face to come back, if it were me, I'd just die outside. ”

"It's just ....... ”

Thors led a group of defeated soldiers down the street, looking at the citizens who were pointing at his group, and his heart was desolate.

With a lonely look on his face, he rode lonely on a white horse to the Consulate.

"Don't pay too much attention to them. Duke patted Thors on the shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "These ignorant people don't know what happened to us. ”

Thors was silent, just nodded blankly.

The group walked silently, and when they came to the door of the Consulate, they happened to see General Clifford and Maxi walking out.

"Tols! Oh my God. What happened to you?"

General Clifford said with a look of surprise on his face, "I heard that you took a third of the city's city guard cavalry. Have you been attacked by the natives?"

Thors rolled over and dismounted, his head bowed, not daring to look General Clifford in the eye at all.

"General! I ...... I. ”

Thors slurred and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Duke couldn't take it anymore, he stepped forward and said respectfully to Clifford: "That's the general, we followed the guidance of the magic cursor to a canyon, and then found an unknown high-level mage who was fighting against the Black Raven Paula of the Secret Society. The mage killed Paula easily, and then we were discovered by him...... ”

After listening to Duke's reply, General Clifford suddenly chuckled in his heart. He suppressed his voice and said, "You said, you saw Black Raven Paula killed by a high-ranking mage. It's not far from the city of Andullah, isn't it?"

Duke nodded vigorously. Then General Clifford fell into deep thought.

Most of Europe knew that the Grand Duke of the White Wolf was about to establish a Spanish vassal state on the American continent. After the success of his statehood, Spain's overall strength will definitely be greatly improved.

At this important time, the Black Raven Paula of the Secret Society unexpectedly appeared in the city of Andura, and was killed by an unknown high-level mage.

This made General Clifford have to think about it more.

Seeing General Clifford deep in thought, Duke was also a little apprehensive in his heart.

His father had told him that the same thing could have a completely different effect by changing the order of the speeches and the focused description of the events.

If General Clifford had focused on the miscommand of the operation, there would have been no doubt that Thors would have been held accountable. Moreover, in an extraordinary period, even the lightest punishment will cause Thors to be demoted three levels in a row.

When the time comes, Thors will become a small soldier guarding the city gates.

In order to help Thors through this difficult situation, he can only find a way to divert Clifford's attention to Black Raven Paula and the High Mage, hoping to escape punishment for the time being.

As for whether it can succeed or not, it depends on luck. After all, few people who can become generals are fools.

Compared with Duke's current apprehension, Thors's current mood is even more complicated and difficult to understand.

Thors was born into a military family, although for various reasons, he did not become a knight. But from an early age, he had been educated as a regular knight.

According to the knight's philosophy, no matter what comes your way, you should face it bravely. Even if you make mistakes, you should have the courage to admit them.

This time the city defense unit lost hundreds of cavalry, and Thors felt that he could not escape the blame. However, he had already been removed from commanding the guard officer to the post of city defense officer. If he is punished again, he will most likely be swept to the end.

When the time comes, Tors will not have the face to face his family and the officers at all levels who have been taught by him.

In front of the gate of the Consulate, the three of them slowly fell into their inner world because of their own thoughts. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west and it was getting late that Maxi on the side opened his mouth to interrupt everyone's thoughts.

"General!"

Clifford heard the call and suddenly came to his senses.

He looked up and saw Maxi cautiously saying to himself, "It's getting late, let's talk in the town hall." ”

Clifford glanced at the sky and realized that it was already dark. He exhaled deeply and said hoarsely, "No need, you guys go back first, I'm going home too." ”

As he spoke, he walked alone to his carriage. When he got into the carriage, his mind was still thinking, "Paula has come to Andula, is it because the Secret Society is going to do something against our country, and who is it that is in conflict with her?" Why did he kill Paula?"

Seeing Clifford leave, Duke and Tors were completely relieved. They looked at each other with a look of joy in their eyes.

Maxi didn't have a good impression of the two, just gave them a cold look, and then turned back to the hall.

Now, there are only two people left in front of the gate, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the gate.

As Dylan entered the city, it was completely dark, and it was a lively night in the city of Andullah.
