Boom!

The Duke slapped the table a second time, and the goat's milk in the cup rippled, and he was both annoyed and suddenly amused, and if he had been in the conference room now, he would probably have been able to enjoy the picture of the fat man of the Wood family falling to the ground in fright.

......

There were originally more than a dozen chairs in the conference room, but since the representative of the Wood family was replaced by a fat man, there were fewer and fewer chairs, and every time the Duke slapped the table, one of the chairs would inevitably fall apart because it could not withstand the sudden pressure, and even the ground seemed to tremble.

He had already made up his mind that he must refrain and restrain again, and he must not be easily angry anymore, but last night there was another [Searching for the Silver Fox Remnant], and the people of the two families turned Wells Street upside down, and almost didn't fight on the street.

So another chair was lost in the conference room.

For this reason, Reed repeatedly warned him that if Master Joseph Wood broke another chair, someone would have to stand at the next meeting, the gold diggers would be driven out of the Lolong Valley, and the price of all the materials produced in the valley's woodlands would soar, and the Duke would not spend an extra copper coin on it.

The reason for the [search and suppression incident] was presented to him in time afterwards, and the Duke really didn't know how to feel about the influence of the woodland rose, but it was also the news that the woman had been released from the side.

Coincidentally, the bait of the [Little Pocket] plan ran away, the guards were killed, and the corpses were scattered across the prison gates, and the person in charge of the aftermath told him privately, "The fugitive is a pervert who forcibly had some kind of relationship with a poor soldier before leaving." ”

For this reason, the person in charge asked the Duke to double the original bounty amount, and the prisoner must be arrested and hanged in the inner city square......

Carter was nowhere to be found, and the Baron and two prison guards were attacked on their way back to the prison from the east gate of the inner city, but so far only the bodies of the two soldiers have been found, and it is difficult to say who the attackers were, perhaps the fugitive, or perhaps the Rose of the Woodland, or even the remnants of the Silver Fox.

This is a pity, of course, the Duke is not a pity for the newly canonized baron, although theoretically speaking, any sword has its strengths and weaknesses, as long as it is used well, it can always bring a certain reward to the person who wields the blade.

But he really didn't like Carter much as he didn't like Korovoz.

The things that these two men pursued were distinctly different, but they gave the impression of being similar, the same stubbornness, extreme, almost unscrupulous for a certain end, and equally difficult to master. The latter is indispensable for Luolong City, that is, for Swift for the time being, while the former loves to die, and the Duke has no intention of cultivating another outlier.

It's a pity for him that the plan that originally had a great success rate.

In fact, he didn't know much about the woodland roses, but what kind of goods those nobles who praised their names were, as a person who stood at the top of the power of Luolong City, then he knew too well, and when he swept it down, the ghosts and ghosts had nothing to hide, and it was really commonplace for them to spread false rumors and exaggerate such things.

As the king of a land, what kind of woman has not seen it, and how many can enter his eyes?

But he still wanted to get the Woodland Rose, that woman had such a great influence, if he held it in his hands, superimposed the two, and operated it, what kind of light would the Gianni family shine in his hands?

Perhaps this idea was fueled by a little curiosity that had escaped the ravages of time.

Therefore, there will be more powerful people to do this kind of thing, as long as the woodland rose is a living creature and has not left Luolong City, then she and her accomplices will not be able to escape.

......

By the way, it had been the night before, and the Duke rubbed his head, turning his gaze back from the wall clock with its wooden casing, and re-reading the letter in his hand.

He was dragged out of the bed by Reed, and in a room where there was no one else, the Awakened lifted the Duke up like a little chick and put on a liner, robe, and coat in two or two strokes...... Then he was "invited" to the reception room and office, and after that he slowed down for a long time to figure out where he was and what the situation was.

The major mercenary groups have fought, and this sudden battle has been put back on track by the plan led by the [search and suppression incident].

Those reinforcements who set off with the mercenaries' butts and were sent to the three outer gates of the East Outer City carried all kinds of supplies, including food, weapons, medicines, etc., and even birds, and now several of them are coming back one after another, and the letters for help came from the south gate, and the birds brought back the news that the werewolves raided the south gate, the beasts were repulsed, and asked for additional reinforcements, which is why he was pulled out of his dreams.

The order was quickly given, and there was a piece of meat in his hand, and someone happened to hand him a knife, so use it, although for a moment it was impossible to tell who was the meat and who was the knife. However, the participants of the [search and suppression incident] the night before will receive a reasonable punishment, and the badly damaged South Gate garrison will also receive timely reinforcements.

The price of achieving this "best of both worlds" is a stillbirth in another plan.

......

Reed went out with the order, the Duke stuffed the letter for help in his hand into the drawer, and picked up a few other pieces of paper on the table, which was decrypted from the secret letter, very brief, but it contained a lot of information, the most important of which came from the north gate, because for the sake of time and security, the news was not sent back through the east gate of the inner city, but directly went to the channel of the raven at the outer city gate, and set up a tailwind bird.

The cup on the table was just right, and the goat's milk with a rich fragrance was poured into the bucket by him, and a trace of happiness floated on his vicissitudes of life, as if it was not the white ** that warmed the stomach and refreshed the stomach, but the traces left on him by the years. The milky aroma and white steam suddenly thickened, and he got up and walked to the wine cabinet with the empty glass, and the furrows on his face gradually stretched.

At times like these, he especially needed these fragrant liquids, its cold to make people sober, its scorching heat to bring back the flame of youth.

The mercenaries were in chaos, this is not surprising, what made the Duke slap the table was that the alien races in the city had not been wiped out, and the gold-swallowing beasts began to bite each other, causing the werewolves who escaped from the encirclement to almost open the southern gate of the eastern outer city!

The largest and fattest piece of meat has left the cage, so what is it that drives the Gold Eaters to throw away their sanity?

The pale golden liquid hit the glass cup and made a pleasant whisper, and the duke habitually shook the cup, which is a grain wine from Rusles, and the golden color comes from the full ears of wheat and rice, the color is crystal clear, and the fragrance is strong, and a cup can make people fall asleep, and it is very tight.

The spicy throat and the strong fragrance filled his nose, and the duke's spirits were lifted, not only did his sleepiness disappear, but the flames that burned all the way down his throat seemed to make him a few decades younger, and the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer.

It is a golden season, with golden leaves, golden autumn suns, and ears of wheat that melt the plump color into the wine.

If the army of the fiefdoms had set off immediately when the lord received the order, they should have arrived in Luolong City in the early hours of this morning with the first rays of sunlight that tore through the night, but they were not destined to be the sunshine that tore through the night, and when they came, some of them had to carry not only swords and shields, but also sacks of food.

The color of the wine forced the Duke to accept Korovoz's suggestion.

A few days ago, the city of Luolong released ravens to the neighboring Ruthles and the royal city of Sitvia at the same time, and Xetvia's secret letter was being deciphered, and it would probably be delivered to him later, but the letter sent to the neighboring country has not yet received a response. No one knew what had happened to the most powerful human kingdom, and among the gold diggers who had escaped from the Valley of Luolong, no one had come from another entrance or exit of the valley.

Perhaps Schetvia could get some useful information from the mouths of the merchants who traveled between the two places.

Given the unknowns, they must plan for the long term, as Korovoz says, "Even if all the outer cities fall and the werewolves approach the inner gates, they must first cut the ripe wheat." ”

In fact, the duke, having accepted this statement, wanted or decided to harvest more than just wheat.

As the cup emptied, the sky dawned, and the morning light poured through the muffled window sash on the woolen carpet, and he looked down in deep thought, wondering whether to replace the old carpet, such as ...... Changed to wolf skin?

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock at the door, and the Duke hurriedly stopped preparing to refill the wine, stuffed the glasses and bottles in his hand into the wine cabinet, and then strode back to the back of the desk, cleared his throat and shouted, "Come in." ”

As soon as he spoke, Reed pushed the door open and handed him the paper on which he had just deciphered the contents of the Shetvia secret letter.

The letter is divided into two parts, one about the imperial city and the border between the two countries, and the other about reinforcements from the imperial city.

Allet's land is like a thick fat broken-tailed snake with its mouth open trying to swallow Luolong Valley, Luolong City is the tongue of the fat snake sticking into the valley, if Sitvia in the snake's eyes can't help, Luolong City will have to turn to the Iron Rhino City at the junction of the upper and lower jaws for help, he really doesn't want to deal with those mercenaries.

This was a good sign that Xetvia was able to send reinforcements, indicating that as the letter said, although no useful information had been obtained, there was no critical situation.

Looking at it, Reed, who was standing next to him, suddenly snorted, and the duke turned his head sideways and asked, "What's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?"

Reed was a little stunned, and waited until the duke asked a second question before he replied, "It's a little strange that [courage and strength] actually worked on its own just now, and that warm 'stream' seemed to be suddenly ...... Given some kind of consciousness?"

"Speaking of people," the Duke is not an awakened person, so naturally he doesn't understand what [running], [stream], [consciousness] and other things seem mysterious and mysterious to him, compared to it, the expression on the other party's face is more interesting, he quipped, "Did you eat a bad stomach?"

"No, I've always been very restrained and regular in my diet, and I can't help but eat something bad, and I don't secretly drink some golden liquid. ”

"Forehead ......"

Reed turned and walked to the window, pushing open the sash that was hidden, and the morning light and breeze rushed in, "It seems to be responding in some way." ”

The Duke felt a slight chill, and through the open window, he happened to see a flock of birds passing by the sky, as numerous as a cloud, and he frowned.

They come from the direction of Rus-Royce.
