In the center of Darius City, there is a luxurious castle standing in the most central area, and every citizen of the Kingdom of Chris is no stranger here, because the owner of the castle is the legendary figure of this kingdom - Nolando Dragon Lion Maximilian, the first marquis of the Kingdom of Chris.

At this time, the city lord's mansion was filled with a harmonious and solemn atmosphere, and the marquis, who had had lunch, and his most powerful and trusted subordinates were enjoying afternoon tea in the spacious courtyard full of flowers.

The Marquis of Nolando, who had long since passed middle age, was dressed in a decent casual attire, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face but not without losing his majesty, bright pupils, only a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and blonde hair that was no longer dazzling, and a few sideburns in his ears told how much effort this kingdom giant had put into his country.

The kingdom of Chris is established by force, the strength of the person in power is an important foundation for laying the foundation of the position of power, Nolan is a member of the white lion royal family, a real feudal official, although his own strength has stagnated due to the drag of political affairs, but when he was young, he was also a talented swordsman, in the case of no shortage of resources, now it is also the level of the upper knight, it stands to reason that although the strong man of this level is not as good as the extraordinary vitality, but it will never show old age at this age, it can only be said that for the development of the kingdom, he has spent too much effort。

Compared with Sykes sitting next to him, both momentum and vitality were obviously much behind, and only the momentum of the superior cultivated by the high position could make him not look too overshadowed in front of his right-hand man.

"The floating population in the city has increased dramatically recently, are you still busy over there? Why don't I transfer the White Lion Knights over and share your pressure?"

The Marquis put down the teacup in his hand, and asked like an old friend, and the sturdy city defense commander on the side shook his head lightly, expressing his confidence:

"No need adults, they are all pilgrims of the Sogo Church, there will be no trouble, and a few people who have the intention to make trouble can't make any trouble, the White Lion Knights are our elite, there is no need to use it in this kind of place, it's too big and too big, I can handle it." ”

"I've never doubted your abilities, old man, but I've heard some rumors lately, and it's been related to this miracle, and the people who don't know the truth are easy to be guided, and I'm a little worried that something will go wrong.

After all, the relationship between the kingdom and the church has been cooling down in the past few years, and the Golden Flame Divine Sword is a plan that the church has planned for hundreds of years, and we all know each other, as vested interests, if we don't handle it well, I'm afraid it will cause trouble, so we still have to be careful.

As for those young men of the White Lion Regiment, don't say anything about elite or not, it's just a group of knight formations smashed out with gold coins, if you want to use it, just take it, and I'll rest assured that I'll give it to you, just let you, an old-timer, give them some opportunities to practice and practice. ”

His meaning was very clear, obviously he wanted to take away some of the power and let the newcomer intervene, but the words were very good, taking care of the emotions of his right-hand man, as an old subordinate, Sykes naturally understood the Tao, so he no longer insisted: "I know, then listen to your arrangement." ”

His expression was still plain and calm, but the thoughts in his heart were not known: had they reached his ears? It seemed that this old fellow could not be underestimated, but the arrangement had been completed, and it would not be a big deal to let the group of little lions intervene, and if he refused forcefully at this time, I am afraid that it would arouse suspicion.

"If they have anything to do badly, you must point it out, and the guidance of their predecessors can make them avoid detours. ”

"Captain Hegwell is young and promising, with a steady style, and Young Master Keller is even more talented, and during this time, he already has a bit of your demeanor, I believe that under their leadership, the White Lion Knights will definitely be famous in all countries, I really can't talk about guidance." ”

"Haha, they're still young, and they're far worse than you. ”

········

While the two were chatting, Sykes's adjutant suddenly came over, saluted the two, and whispered to the chief, "My lord, there are some matters that you need to deal with. ”

Sykes frowned, and said slightly: "I'm talking to Lord Marquis, is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, but it's all trivial, but there are some things that you have to see for yourself. ”

The Marquis of Nolando smiled and said with relief: "Let's be busy with your business first, after all, it is a special period, and it is also appropriate to be busy, I am just looking for you to catch up with the past, don't be too restrained, next time you have time, you can talk about it." ”

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't accompany you well, in that case, I missed it today. ”

"Go, we've known each other for so many years, there's no need to be so polite, come if you want to come in the future, there are opportunities, and it's not far away anyway. ”

"Farewell. ”

···········

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion and getting into the carriage, Sykes asked with a straight face, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Only then did the adjutant speak: "The team sent out to intercept the church's resources has sent back a message that they want to ask for support. ”

"Do you still need to ask me about such a trivial matter?"

"Reinforcements have been sent out before, but there's a message back that I think needs to let you know. ”

"Something happened?"

"Yes, when the reinforcements arrived, they found that the people they had sent out before had been wiped out and the target was gone. ”

Sykes frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Which troops were sent out first?"

"A small team of blood demons, three small teams of shadow demons, regular formation, not a reserve team, and the support troops set off as soon as they got the news, but there are dozens of formal professionals, and they can't even hold back the other party and wait for the support to arrive, which means that they are likely to be defeated in one face. ”

The atmosphere in the carriage froze, and no one spoke for a while, and after a while, Sykes said slowly: "I know, let the reinforcements come back." ”

"Yes. ”

The adjutant answered, but no longer asked what to do next, just stayed quietly, like a cold statue.

Sykes leaned against the carriage, his eyes closed as if he was resting, only the thumb of his right hand rubbing the ring on his index finger.

No one will know that a thought has vaguely communicated a dark space.

"Something is wrong, you send someone to solve it, the target is on the way to Elktor, with a batch of holy water and crystals, obviously. ”

"Holy water, is our side exposed?"

"No, but it may also be that they have noticed something, otherwise they would not suddenly send someone to secretly transfer a batch of these materials, no matter what their plans are, it is always right to intercept them. ”

"Got it, he can't get here. ”

"The target is a bit weird, don't be careless. ”

"Hehe, you're useless, you can't do things well, and you still come to remind me?

“······· Just don't show your feet. ”
