Thor then said in a mocking tone: "As for the Harrence Territory under your control, when the time comes, when you marry Miss Nesha, won't this land still be ruled by their Lockton bloodline in a few decades?

Gray admits this, saying, "It's a temptation that can't be refused! Even if we know we're pawns, we're all willing to be treated as pawns, aren't we?"

Saul laughed, "Don't worry, we won't be chess pieces forever! One day, we will be the rule-makers, and the last thing we lack is time!"

"Lord Earl is not afraid that I will regret it!" Gray's tone was also slightly teasing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You won't, you won't be the hero of those wandering poet stories, your desires are exposed in your eyes, and the Earl has taken advantage of your desires!" Thor seemed to envy the male protagonists in the wandering poets' stories, and when he spoke of them, Thor had a yearning look in his eyes.

"Cheers to us as chess players as soon as possible!" Gray raised the wine glass in his hand, Thor smiled slightly, and also raised the wine glass in his hand, and there was a crisp sound of 'ding', and the two wine glasses gently collided together.

As the banquet at the castle continued, Gray and Thor walked out of their study and toward the hall, where they had to blend in with the circle.

-------

An hour before the banquet began, in the barracks of Gersenburg.

At the end of the day's training, Rena, escorted by a squad of soldiers, plans to return to her residence, these guards were arranged by Gray, after all, the territory is now newly occupied, and there are many uncertainties.

The barracks of Fort Gesenburg were built very close to the outer walls, and Reina had to pass through a wide street that ran through the entire town, which was the main road of Gesenzhen, and was built to facilitate the passage of horse-drawn carriages.

When Rena walked to the door of a store.

"Whoosh!"

The piercing sound of an arrow piercing the air sounded, and the soldiers in charge of guarding Rena reflexively pushed Rena away, and a soldier who was protecting Rena's side was hit by an arrow in the chest with a "poof" and slowly fell to the ground, blood oozing out quickly, and his eyes staring at a corner.

It all happened so suddenly, and Rena was even thinking about tomorrow's soldier's training plan.

Rena looked in the direction where the arrow came from, but saw a man dressed as a mercenary in leather armor, his body was on the side of a corner, and if he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't find that there was still this person standing there, and he was holding a bow and staring at Rena coldly.

The rest of the soldiers reacted quickly and acted quickly, raising their shields to protect Rena in the middle, "Beep! Beep!" One soldier blew the magic whistle he carried with him.

"Hurry up, time is running out!" shouted at this time.

Although it was getting dark, there were still many pedestrians on the main road in the town, and the townspeople saw the soldiers fall to the ground with arrows and the blood flowing out, and they immediately panicked and fled to what they thought was the safest place!

"Poof"

I thought it was a townsman who bumped into it, but the soldier didn't pay attention, but a dagger in the other party's hand stabbed directly into the waist and abdomen through the gap between the chain mail.

"Whoever comes close, kill them on the spot!" Rena's eyes froze, and she shouted categorically.

"Yes!"

As soon as this order was given, blood splattered, and several people who approached, along with the assassin who had just attacked the soldiers, were killed on the spot, and looking at the few people lying on the ground in a pool of blood, it was impossible to tell whether they were ordinary townspeople or assassins.

"Take, take, take!" three more arrows, the three soldiers fell to the ground in response, the other party's arrows were very accurate, all of them hit the throat directly, if Rena was not surrounded by the soldiers in the middle, plus her petite body, she might have been hit by the arrow.

"Retreat according to the group!" Reina ordered, this was the best and only way now.

However, at this moment, in a private house behind their team, a strong man suddenly rushed out, he was very tall and strong, and he held a huge iron hammer in his hand.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, and a soldier in the back didn't know what was going on, and was hit by the heavy hammer on the waist, and the soldier didn't even scream, and his body flew to the side, sticking to the wall and rolling his eyes, and he was about to die.

"Bang!" was the same muffled sound, the same sound of bones shattering, and a soldier's body flew out upside down.

Renami's eyes widened, she bit her red lip, and said secretly in her heart: Is this her ultimate belonging?

Looking at the giant man who was getting closer and closer, there were archers in ambush by the enemy over there, and the reinforcements on his side didn't know when they would arrive, and the remaining soldiers were making the last struggle.

The faint smell of blood wafted in the air, Rena was not afraid, on the contrary, she actually gave birth to a sense of relief, which was a very wonderful feeling, and she slowly pulled out the sword at her waist.

There were four soldiers left with Rena, all of whom Gray had brought from Herion's territory, and the nervous expressions of these four soldiers were evident, but they still faithfully performed their duties and did not abandon Rena.

"Soldiers, don't be afraid!" Reina's sudden voice rang in their ears.

Rena's words were said lightly, and her faint tone was like a hammer hitting the soldiers' nervous and desperate hearts at the moment.

The remaining four soldiers saw that the commander was so calm and that he was still a woman, and they all regained a little confidence after several battles!

Rena has stepped up, she is no longer hiding behind the soldiers, if this will be the last moment of her life, she does not want to be looked at as a coward, she will prove that she is no worse than anyone.

"You're brave!" The big man with the sledgehammer surprised Rena's performance.

Rena snorted coldly, didn't speak, and the big man opposite didn't plan to speak anymore, he had already clenched the hammer in his hand.

"Bow to me, archers, and you deal with the man in front!" In the midst of such desperation, a woman's voice came into Rena's ears.

"Do as she says!" Reina's pupils shrank and she took a step back, dodging the fatal blow of the hammer and yelling at the soldiers next to her, who were in a daze.

Several soldiers reacted one after another, and hurriedly dispersed, surrounding the big man in the middle, and the big man on the opposite side had just heard the woman's voice, and glanced at the companion who was secretly ambushed over there with a somewhat uneasy expression.

The remaining four soldiers may have been too fierce because of the giant man of Gancai, they all just surrounded and did not dare to come forward to fight, Rena was not in a hurry, she was just a little worried about whether the archers over there would be dealt with.

Rena has been learning swordsmanship recently, but she only knows how to fight, but there is no way to actually do it.

The giant man knew that he couldn't drag it off, because the soldier had already blown the magic whistle, and he stared at Rena with a resolute gaze, and his body rushed towards Rena.

Rena had been paying attention to the giant man's movements, and when she saw the other party rushing over, she was not afraid, she bit her silver teeth and shouted at the four soldiers: "Hurry up, kill him!"

After all, Rena's body is not retreating, but advancing, she is planning to keep this giant man.

The giant man's face was overjoyed, and Reina's face was expressionless, her eyes staring at the hammer in the giant man's hand, and just as the hammer was about to hit her waist and abdomen, Reina's body suddenly leaned back and lay on the ground.

Ju Khan missed, fixed his eyes, saw Rena on the ground, and raised the hammer in his hand violently, and was about to smash it, but suddenly felt a pain in his waist, abdomen, arms, and thighs, and then he could no longer exert his strength.

With a clang, the hammer fell to the ground, and Rena rolled over to dodge.

Look at the huge sweat again, four short spears nailed to his body, he has not yet lost his breath, and his blood-red eyes are still staring at Rena.

"Stay alive!" Rena ordered, and one of the soldiers nodded, raising the round shield in his hand and slamming it on the giant man's head, and the giant man fainted.

At this moment, there was a sound of running footsteps, and Rena turned her head to see that it was a nearby patrol soldier arriving.
