The infighting is still going on around the Steel City, but everyone ignores the whereabouts of an important person.

At this moment, Viscount Lane led his army and hid in his small country manor in the northeast of the viscountdom.

Here, there is no internal and external war, and there is no power struggle, and it is like a paradise in today's situation.

Sitting in the garden of the manor, savoring the afternoon tea specially prepared by the maid, from time to time he would reach out and pat the busy maid.

Behind him were two scantily clad maids, gently tapping Viscount Ryan on the shoulder.

When it comes to enjoyment, Viscount Ryan is definitely the kind of person that the Sun Empire will enjoy, even in today's circumstances.

While he was closing his eyes and recuperating, an elven maid in a bikini walked up quickly: "Your Excellency, Lord Horn is back. ”

Viscount Ryan stretched out his hand and pulled the elven maid into his arms, and put his hand up and down for a while before letting the maid go.

He waved his hand and said to the maids beside him, "Okay, you all go down, and let old Horn come and see me." ”

The maids immediately bowed down one by one, and when they left, the two maids who had been standing behind them and waiting, looked at the elven maids with a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

For this kind of open and secret battle between maids, Viscount Ryan naturally will not take it to heart, and he will not help anyone because he is favored.

In Viscount Lane's mind, he has always believed in the creed of the jungle, even by his side.

The maids withdrew, and soon old Horn led his son briskly, and father and son knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Viscount Ryan waved his hand and said, "Okay, has there been a result of what I asked you to inquire about?"

Old Horn immediately said: "Sir, we have inquired, and now the battle between the nobles and commoners in the Iron City continues to heat up, and after Sir Kevin came, he has controlled everyone in the aristocratic faction. ”

"Kevin?" said Viscount Lane with a sneer, "that guy who was forced back from the north by the barbarians still has the face to be in power?"

Old Horn then said, "But sir, we also have to guard against it, after all, Kevin has the army he brought from the north. ”

Viscount Ryan also frowned when he heard this, lowered his head and muttered: "It's a little difficult to do, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Corps is still not to be underestimated." ”

Old Horn hurriedly said, "Yes, sir, so the matter you said before still has to be considered in the long run. ”

Viscount Lane suddenly sat up, looked at old Horn who was kneeling there on one knee, squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that you want to persuade me to retreat for the time being?"

Feeling the Viscount's gaze, Old Horn trembled instantly, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, now is the best time for us to accumulate strength, and we must not consume troops at will." ”

Viscount Ryan retracted his gaze, leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment, and said, "I also know that now is not the time to use soldiers, you just need to wait to get the best results, but if Kevin and his noble faction win, my position will also be lost." ”

Old Horn's expression also became solemn, and he understood that what Viscount Lane said was right, and he couldn't let the aristocratic faction gain the upper hand.

If you sit idly by, once the commoners are pacified by the nobles, then the viscount will fall into the hands of the imperial nobles.

So Viscount Ryan can't really ignore it, and still have to find a way to send a little secret support to the civilians.

Thinking of this, Old Horn said in a deep voice, "Then sir, who are you going to send to help those civilians?"

Viscount Ryan pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't thought of a suitable candidate for the time being, so I'll put this matter aside for now." ”

Afterwards, Viscount Lane asked, "How is the Dark Witch doing there, sister, hasn't she escaped from the castle yet?"

At this time, Little Horn hurriedly spoke: "Sir, our people have been squatting on the periphery of the dark realm, but we haven't seen the eldest lady come out so far. ”

Viscount Lane frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied: "Why? Why hasn't my sister come out yet?"

"Obviously, Murray has already gone to the castle, and as long as Murray arrives at the castle, then there is no reason why Aunt Shanna should not let her sister go. ”

Listening to Viscount Lane talking to himself, Horn and his son didn't dare to speak at all, so they could only kneel there and endure silently.

Viscount Ryan underestimated for a moment, sighed and said, "That's it, you continue to send people to keep an eye on there, and the eldest lady will report to me as soon as she comes out." ”

Little Horn naturally nodded in agreement: "Obey, sir, please rest assured, we will definitely keep an eye on it." ”

Old Horn suddenly couldn't help but ask at this time: "Sir, do you think Sir Kevin will notice it too?"

Viscount Ryan smiled and shook his head: "No, this kind of thing won't happen at all, Kevin, that coward, can't take the initiative to provoke the Dark Witch." ”

Hearing Viscount Ryan say this, Old Horn naturally didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, a maid ran quickly and said, "Sir, outside, there are a group of strange people outside. ”

"A bunch of weirdos?" asked Viscount Ryan as he sat up at once, frowning, "what kind of weirdos?"

The maid was just about to continue, when she suddenly heard a voice sound: "Little Ryan, I didn't expect you to hide here." ”

Everyone was shocked for a moment, and Horn and his son immediately rushed to each other's side with Viscount Lane, and at the same time, soldiers in heavy armor immediately rushed out of the surroundings.

In front of everyone's eyes, a figure descended from the sky, like a humanoid heavily armored tank.

In the face of those heavily armored soldiers, the people who came didn't pay attention to them at all, and the corners of half of their mouths rose slightly to show a disdainful smile.

Viscount Lane did not hesitate and immediately ordered the soldiers: "Okay, you all retreat." ”

Those heavily armored soldiers were completely at the mercy of Viscount Lane, and when they received the Viscount's orders, they all disappeared immediately.

Seeing this scene, Augustus, who slowly fell from mid-air, said with some surprise: "It's actually a spatial concealment technique, it seems that Catherine's little girl has prepared a lot of means for you." ”

Someone who can call Viscount Ryan "Little Ryan" and a witch like Catherine a "little girl".

I'm afraid there are not many in this world, except for Uncle Raul and Aunt Shanna, Augustus is also one of them.

If it were true, Augustus was the first servant to appear as a witch of the Empire.

After following the witch for many years, Augustus learned a lot of magic and magic from the witch.

It was completely different from Augustus's magnificent body, and even more incommensurate with his current cyborg body.

But Augustus is indeed the predecessor of Viscount Lane and Catherine, and even the mother of both of them, who must be respected when they see Augustus.

Viscount Ryan stood up and bowed to Augustus: "I wonder what you are doing here?"

Augustus didn't care about the hostility in Viscount Lane's words, after all, although he was their senior, he didn't need their respect.

After pondering for a moment, Augustus grinned and said, "I am here to tell you that I intend to help you, to help you support the plebeian faction, so that they can win the battle. ”
