Since the race war hundreds of years ago, the Holy Empire, which originally unified the human race, has collapsed, resulting in the current situation of hundreds of countries on the Alpha Continent. Among the nearly 100 countries www.biquge.info, large and small, the Waru Empire is second to none in terms of land area, national economy, people's livelihood, and military strength. It is a pity that in recent generations, the Varu Emperors have been mediocre, which has led to the gradual decline of the incomparably glorious empire of the year.

Today's Varu Empire is inferior to the Sacred Griffin Empire, which is founded on chivalry, the Kingdom of Lorraine in terms of magical achievements, the Church of Light in terms of belief in gods, and the Anderheitsen Business Alliance in terms of economic strength, and not only that, but there is even an independent rebellion now. Seeing that the once prosperous empire was about to show the appearance of the country in his own hands, the current emperor Gavin XII was anxious in his heart, but unfortunately he was old and his energy was declining and he could not manage the government, resulting in the fall of the power of the court and the dominance of the party.

Just when the future of the empire was bleak, Prince Raymond, who had been neglected and unknown, suddenly came out of nowhere and showed his talents in the counterinsurgency war, which brought endless hope like a savior, which was praised by some people of insight in the empire. The new hope of the empire is not good news for the queen party, and the prince Raymond has not yet returned to the imperial capital, and has become a thorn in the side of the queen party.

Due to the deliberate neglect and concealment of the queen in the past, even among the royal relatives who were familiar with the genealogy of the nobility, few people recognized Prince Raymond, so several chamberlains from the palace were sent to the city gate to wait for Prince Raymond to return to the imperial capital. When Prince Raymond was recognized by the chamberlains at the gate of the imperial capital, the entire city gate was like a lit fireworks, and countless praises, sycophants, and flatteries broke out with a bang, whether it was out of the city or into the city, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, people flocked to the place where Prince Raymond was, scrambling to see Prince Raymond's demeanor.

Fortunately, Oryx, who was beside Leo, reacted in time, and before the crowd came up, he led the Roman infantry to surround Prince Raymond and Leo in public, and pushed the round shield in his hand outward, pushing the crowd that wanted to move forward to the left and right, trying his best to open the way for Prince Raymond and Leo.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Raymond, how did you defeat Archduke Wagner, who has the title of Swift Sword?" this was a young nobleman who had the courage to ask Prince Raymond.

Prince Raymond smiled at him, patted Leo on the shoulder with his backhand, and replied to the little nobleman who asked the question: "Thanks to my friend Leo and these soldiers around me, it is the unity that allows us to defeat the opponent together!"

Prince Raymond's kind attitude made people burst out with extra enthusiasm, and there were all kinds of questions in the crowd, and some enthusiastic girls screamed and shouted: "Your Highness Raymond, I want to give birth to monkeys for you!"

When they got Prince Raymond's helpless smile, those girls even cried bitterly and were excited, which made Leo stunned, and he said in his heart that there are also fans who chase stars in the other world!

The surging crowd continued to squeeze towards the city gate, and ten Roman infantry had great difficulty to push the people around them away with round shields, but before they could move a few steps forward, the crowd squeezed in again, and just like that, Prince Raymond never walked out of the city gate. Fortunately, this chaotic and lively situation was broken by the arrival of a group of palace guards, and with the sound of a few horns, the crowd on the periphery retreated to both sides as if a red-hot iron rod had been inserted into the butter, and the people who had been shouting enthusiastically gradually quieted down.

After a neat sound of iron boots stomping on the ground, Prince Raymond and Leo, who were surrounded by Roman infantry, heard a deep man's voice sound: "Dear Prince Raymond, Andrews, deputy commander of the palace guard, has come to welcome you back to the palace on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Empress!"

Raymond walked out of the circle of Roman infantry and saw a man in the armor of the royal guard beating his chest, Raymond gracefully returned a noble salute to Andrews and said to him, "Okay, please lead the way with Andrews!"

Andrews stood up and waved to the royal guards behind him, and a carriage with an extremely ornate exterior rushed over. After Prince Raymond got into the car, Andrews glanced at Leo who was about to leave, and the humble and respectful attitude that was originally in front of Prince Raymond instantly disappeared on his face, and he said to Leo with disdain and charity in his tone: "Leo Kovinas, since you also appeared on the southern battlefield with the prince, Her Royal Highness the Queen is kind and kind, and wants to meet you in the palace, now you can come with the guards!"

After saying that, Andrews didn't even look at it, turned around and stepped on his horse, leading the royal guards to escort Prince Raymond's carriage towards the palace.

Hearing Andrews's arrogant words, although Leo's face did not show a trace of anger, his hands behind his back were tightly clenched into fists. Andrews is the deputy commander of the palace, or is he on the orders of the queen, unless Leo intends to betray the Varu Empire, he must not do anything to Andrews in public at this moment. Just as Leo took a deep breath and tried to adjust his breath, Feng Xifan behind him reached out and stroked Leo's back a few times, and a cool internal force entered Leo's body from his back, and the refreshing meaning brought by the cool internal force temporarily calmed Leo's anger.

"Young master, don't be impatient! This kind of eagle dog lackey wants to deal with him, there are many ways, if the young master is really angry, the old slave is looking for an opportunity to kill him secretly, let's go to the palace with Young Master Raymond to receive the reward first! It should be ours, can we not do it!" Feng Xifan's gloomy voice came from behind Leo.

Leo didn't look back, nodded directly, and strode up to keep up with the ranks of the royal guards. Feng Xifan and the Roman infantry followed behind him, and on the way to the palace, Leo decided in his heart that his goal in the future was to try to become strong, whether it was money or power, at least so that he would not be so despised.

When Leo and his party left with the royal guards, the crowd at the gate began to slowly disperse under the scolding of the gate guards. In the crowd, the little guy who was waiting for Leo to enter the city according to the order of Viscount Colin left with a sinister smile, he had already been bought by Brown, and deliberately did not bring Viscount Colin's message to Leo. The little servant was not aware of his every move, and was completely absorbed in the eyes of Ney, who was also at the city gates ready to greet Leo.

When he came to a dark and deep place that was slightly more desolate than the rest of the imperial capital, he suddenly turned around and whispered to the road behind him: "Where is my friend, since you have been with me for so long, why don't you come out and talk!"

This little guy's uneasy performance made Ney a little impressed with him. After walking out of the hiding place, Ney took a closer look and found that although this person was dressed as a small servant, his temperament had changed sharply at this moment. The body that was originally hunched and chested straightened, and his slightly squinted eyes looked quite imposing after opening wide, this discovery made Ney secretly happy in his heart, and finally caught a big fish!

"Who is Your Excellency?I don't know what I have offended Your Excellency?and why did Your Excellency follow me all the way?" the man kept asking questions, and leaned in lightly towards Ney. By the swaying of his body as he walked, the man quietly pulled out a dagger in his left hand behind his back, and suddenly lunged at Ney when he was three or five paces away from Ney, and the dagger in his hand slashed a silver light in midair.

The move of letting the enemy's vigilance and then taking advantage of the opportunity to pounce was used with great skill, and it was clear that the little guy did this less. It's a pity that he clearly chose the wrong opponent this time. In the silver light drawn by the dagger, a silver star suddenly appeared, and Ney had an extra noble sword in his hand at some point. There was still a trail of blood on the tip of the sword.

Hearing Cang Chang's dagger land, the little guy covered his left wrist with his right hand and cried out in pain: "Ahh

Ney watched the man roll on the ground with a grim face and scream in pain, without the slightest intention of stepping forward. Seeing that Ney refused to step forward, the man gritted his teeth and pretended to be in pain and rolled on the ground in the direction of Ney, rolling to Ney's feet, and before he could make a move, he saw the thin sword in Ney's hand shake, and the man's right wrist was a deep wound that could be seen to the bone, and a steel needle with a light blue glimmer fell from his right hand.

"You!you!" the man looked at Ney in horror, as if he hadn't expected him to be so ruthless and so experienced. It's a pity that the little guy didn't know that Ney was able to walk out of a small blacksmith family and go all the way to the Prince of the French Empire, and he hadn't seen any conspiracies and tricks during this period, and this little trick was too inferior in Ney's eyes.

"If there's any trick up your sleeve, just try it. If not, it's better to be honest and tell me everything I want to know, so that you can get less hurt. Ney stared into the man's eyes and mouthed out word by word.

"You...... What do you want to know? I'm just an errand servant, I don't know anything. The man's hands were wounded, and he hung limply twice, and replied as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

"Your name, your identity, what are you doing at the gates today?" asked Ney unhurriedly.

"My name is Percy, and I am a servant in the palace of the Viscount of Covinas, and I am waiting for his second son, Leo, at the gate of the city on the orders of the viscount, and tell him to return to the palace first when he returns to the imperial capital. "That little guy Posey confessed everything.

"Then why did you sneak out and not let Leo Governus inform him when he entered the city?" asked Ney.

"That's because there are so many people, the crowd is too crowded, I just can't squeeze in. Percy replied with a few roll of his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a silver light flash in front of his eyes, and he felt a tearing pain in his thigh.

"If you're lying, you won't be able to save your other leg!" Even after destroying Posey's hands and one leg, Ney's eyes were still unwavering, and he didn't have the slightest hint of forbearance, and continued to threaten and warn in his mouth.

"Ahh

"You devil, I say...... I say it all...... Please stop hurting me!" Percy cried and begged for mercy. "It's Brown, Butler Brown asked me not to pass on the words of the Viscount to Leo in private. He told me to go back and reply to the viscount that Leo had listened to the message and insisted on refusing to go back. It's all arranged by Brown, I'm just a messenger!" said Percy, recalling Brown's advice and the often rumored rivalry between the nobles in the market, and his heart was filled with fear, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground and weep.

After crying a few times, seeing that no one was paying attention, Percy couldn't help but look up a little strangely, and found that Ney had quietly left at some point.
