The Great Rock City, the great city that Noamun's ancestors built on a high mountain, by virtue of which he defeated countless invaders, has never been conquered since the day it stood on this land, and is known as the city that will never fall.

Now that this great city has been captured by the Mad Dog Knights led by Baal, Sebas, with the help of Vidor Corleone, the godfather of the underworld, has set up a rebellion in the city, opened the city gates, and let the Iron Horsemen of the Mad Dog Knights storm into Boulder City, crushing the few defenders and taking the family of the Count of Noamun hostage, this supposedly never-falling has fallen, and with it fell to the ground is the banner of the roaring lion.

Julian led the Karazan army to the city of Great Rock and became his new master. This should have been a happy thing, but Julian had a gloomy face, although the ending was good, but he could not tolerate Baal taking his own initiative and turning into Boulder, and the order he gave Baal was to flank the army of Count Noamon through the territory of Viscount Ureon and around the rear of the Dawn Plains.

Julian sat in the seat that had belonged to Count Noamon and summoned Baal, who was joined by Sebas, who always maintained his humble and reserved smile on his face.

Barr half-knelt in front of Julian, bowing his head humbly, not daring to ask for credit for his capture of Boulder.

Julian is a man of great control, who can tolerate failure, but not his subordinates.

"Barr, I need an explanation. Julian said in a deep voice.

"Originally, we had gone around to the rear of the Dawn Plains, and were about to go to support you, but we unexpectedly found the army of Count Simon, they were resting in place and preparing to go to support Count Noamon, Count Simon's army was full of three thousand men, if they were thrown into the battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable, I took it upon myself to attack them while they were slack, and took advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry to drag them down on the plain, and finally the army of Count Simon, which suffered huge losses, had to retreat, but at this time the sun had also set, and I knew that I missed the best opportunity to attack Count NoamonAt the same time, my scouts spotted the messenger from Raging Waves heading towards the Dawn Plains, and it would be useless for me to go to the Dawn Plains to support you, and just as I was at a loss for what to do, the Crow of the Sebas Steward landed on my shoulder, along with a letter, and he asked me to go and help him, saying that the defense of Boulder City was empty at this time, and it was the best time to capture it......" Barr replied humbly.

Driving the crow as a demon is Sebas's spell, and the unwitting crowd only thinks that Sebas has a special taming skill.

"That's not a reason for you to disobey my orders, Barr. Julian shook his head.

"Young master, you can't think everything through and be foolproof, and please trust your men, if it weren't for the judgment of Knight Edgar, you wouldn't have been able to crush Count Noamun's forces before the sun set, and if it weren't for Baal's impromptu decision, you wouldn't have been able to sit in Count Noamun's seat at this time. Sebas stepped forward and said.

"Trust us as much as we are loyal to you. Just as Joffrey the Great trusted his thirteen warriors. ”

Julian closed his eyes and pondered, admittedly, Sebas's words were not unreasonable, excessive paranoid self-confidence is not good, a good monarch should be able to trust his subordinates and listen to their advice, but ......

Julian pulled out the long sword at his waist from his seat, and walked step by step in front of Barr, his face grim.

Edgar, who was standing beside Barr, was shocked in his heart, stood in front of Barr, and said, "My lord, although Barr is guilty of disobeying your orders, you can't kill him without judgment like this. ”

"Stand down, Edgar. My life belongs to my master, and it is the power of adults. Barr exclaimed.

"Bal ....."

"Your Excellency. Edgar pleaded, and despite all the disagreements he had with Baal, he couldn't watch Baal die in front of him.

"Edgar, stand down. Julian was unfazed by Edgar's pleadings.

"If your lord is determined to kill Baal, please punish me with you, for I also disobeyed your orders at that time. Edgar said on his knees.

"It's different, Edgar, I have handed over the command of the cavalry to you at that time, and you did a good job. ”

"But didn't you also transfer the command of the Mad Dog Knights to Baal?"

"This is different, the order I gave you was to attack the enemy at the right time, and the order I gave to Bar was to go around to the rear of the Count of Noamon and attack the enemy. Julian said.

"Enough, Edgar, the matter has come to this, I have full responsibility, put away your hypocrisy, I am willing to accept any punishment from my master, including my life, which has been given by my master since three years ago, and if my master wants to take it away, it will only be a recovery of his rightful rights. Barr retorted.

"Barr. Edgar, who was unwilling, turned his head sideways, he was powerless to stop Julian's decision.

"Please assist you. Finally, Barr said to Edgar.

"My lord, it's a shame that I can't see the rainbow city you depicted with your own eyes. Barr closed his eyes, ready to accept his death.

Julian looked at Baal, slowly lifted the tip of his sword to Baal's shoulder, and stabbed it hard.

Thick blood poured from Barr's shoulder, staining the otherwise bright red carpet a dark red, and Barr gritted his teeth, trying not to let a groan of pain flow out.

"Barr, this is my punishment for you. Julian said.

Julian then pulled the tip of his sword out of Barr's bones, placed the tip of his blood-drinking sword on Barr's injured shoulder, and said:

"Bal Knight, I canonize you as a court baron, and appoint you as the temporary lord of Boulder City, with full authority to take charge of Boulder City in my place. ”

"Barr, this is my compliment to you. ”

Under Barr's horrified gaze, Julian put away his sword and said, "A makeshift and rudimentary ritual, I hope you don't mind. ”

"Thank you, my lord, it is difficult to repay it in this life. Barr bowed in thanks.

"Adult ....." Faced with a sudden turn of events, Edgar was speechless for a moment of excitement.

"Alright, stand down. I'm going to rest. Julian waved his hand disapprovingly.

"Then I'll retire. Edgar picked up Barr, who had fallen to his knees, and walked out of the room.

After watching Barr and Edgar leave, Julian let out a long breath, "Sebas, are you brutal?

Sebas, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Actually, the adult is a gentle person, but this warm heart is hidden under the tough surface and is not easy to detect." ”

"Edgar, this bastard, reacted so much that I couldn't get off the stage at all, in fact, I didn't want to stab Barr's sword at all, but in this dignified and depressing atmosphere, it seems that it would be strange if I didn't do something, I could only be held hostage by the atmosphere and stab Barr, it's the atmosphere's fault, it's Edgar's fault, do you think he did it on purpose?"

"Who knows?" Sebas chuckled, I'm afraid no one would know that Julian, who is usually cold and solemn, actually has such a childish side.

"So Sebas, I know you're never going to disappoint me, do you have any gifts for me?" asked Julian expectantly.

"Young Master, please come with me. ”

Sebas led Julian into a dark room with a candlestick in hand, and then used the light of the candlestick to light the candles in the room one by one, and the light of the candles instantly illuminated the entire dark room.

"Is this the study?" said Julian, looking at the vast collection of books and a writing desk.

"Yes, the study of the Count of Noamon. Sebas replied.

"Oh, is there some secret hidden here that Count Noamon does not know?"

Sebas didn't explain, but said, "Please wait." Then he twisted the candlestick on the wall next to the bookshelf, and with a click, the bookcase slowly moved to the side, revealing a dark cavern.

Julian approached the cavern, and it was pitch black, and thick darkness flowed through it, and he couldn't see his fingers, like the mouth of a dark beast, devouring all light and light.

"What is this?"

"Please come with me. Be careful with the steps. Sebas walked in front with a candlestick.

As soon as he entered, Julian inhaled a lungs full of dust, and the air here was so turbid that Julian coughed violently.

"Young Master, please bear with me. ”

Julian walked down the circular staircase, a private underground prison belonging to the House of Noamun, which had been abolished for centuries judging by the foul air and the dust on the floor.

"This is a dungeon belonging to the family of Noamun, built in the era of sword and fire to torture prisoners, and now it has been silent for centuries as the flames of war have passed, and even the Count of Noamon himself does not know about it. Sebas explained.

"So, what are you leading me to this place for?" Yurian felt uncomfortable, the dungeon was too quiet, frighteningly quiet, and despite Julian's efforts to keep his voice low, the echo still echoed in the empty dungeon.

"I'm bringing you to meet someone. ”

"Who would want to live in a place full of rats and bugs? Julian said in disgust, because of the long abandonment, this place has been entrenched by rats, but fortunately with Sebas here, these disgusting black rats dare not approach Julian.

"There's a guy who's just been invited by me. ”

"The wizard, why hide it? ”

Sebas shook his head regretfully and denied Julian's speculation: "It's a shame that I didn't catch that cunning little mouse, but I did catch another, more interesting mouse." ”

"Foolish fellow, you failed to complete the task I gave you, I should probably stab you as hard as you stabbed Baal!"

"If you are satisfied, I am willing to accept any punishment. ”

"Forget it, anyway, for you, even if you cut off your head, it's just a painless and inconsequential thing. That mighty light can't burn you to ashes, so what can I do?!"

"Young master, why bother to be self-indulgent, that great power has not been able to take me as a slave. ”

"Sebas, has the wisdom of thousands of years of precipitation only taught you how to be oily and smooth?"

"No, millennia has taught me the wisdom that all things have to be patient. ”

"Young master, look forward to it, just like the father of the left-behind child looking forward to going home, full of childlike expectations. It's a gift that will make you happy. ”

When the two of them finally walked all the steps, the rats on the ground smelled Sebas's breath and fled in a hurry. Julian's feet stomped on the ground, kicking up a puff of dust.

Sebas made his way to a cell door and opened the lattice window, the rust rusting and a few pieces of rust falling to the ground.

"Young Master, come and see. Sebas said.

Julian walked to the iron door, peeked through the gap in the lattice window, looked at it a few times, sighed, and said regretfully: "Sebas, the coat of arms of the McCarvey family is not an owl. In Julian's eyes, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

"I was negligent. ”

Sebas pulled out a bunch of keys and opened the long-sealed prison door.

"Doesn't it matter?"

"He's already asleep and won't wake up for a while. ”

"Then get the key out early. ”

"Young master, you are too harsh, and I am not perfect, there are always times when I am negligent. ”

Instead of arguing with Sebas, Julian stepped into the dusty cell, took the candlestick in Sebas's hand, and shone it forward.

In the light of the candlelight, a figure appeared, "Orc!" Julian couldn't hide his horror and couldn't help but exclaim, fortunately, under Sebas's magic, the orc slept without waking up.

Orcs, centuries ago this race was like a nightmare in this sacred land----- Dominica, they are an ugly, murderous race, although they have wisdom, but they are barbaric, primitive, and do not know etiquette, only destroy and plunder, causing immeasurable disasters to mankind. But, under the leadership of the great Joffrey the Great, this savage, brutal race was finally expelled from the continent and driven to the western wilderness, to whom Joffrey the Great said: "Go forward, do not stop, until the end of the world, and you will not be allowed to stop until the fig tree is able to produce flowers." After centuries of hunting, the traces of this race's survival in this land were finally erased one by one, and they were no longer visible.

And now, the appearance of this orc is a sign that they are about to make a comeback.

"It's as ugly as the book says, with brown skin and sharp fangs, like an upright beast. But a little thin, not as burly as the painting, the book records that one orc infantry can withstand 3-4 human infantry, and do not fall behind. ”

After a moment of contemplation, Sebas said: "In my memory, the orcs are indeed taller and more burly, and this orc is a little too weak, perhaps because the environment of the western wilderness is too harsh and so degraded. ”

Under the light of the candlelight, Julian's cheeks hidden in the shadows were illuminated like yin and yang, and it was difficult to guess his state of mind at this time.

"Sebas. ”

Julian raised a pair of sharp eyes, stared at the sleeping orc thoughtfully, and after a while, said slowly, "You really gave me an unexpected gift. ”
