After signing a secret agreement with the great merchants of the Highland Kingdom, Areh rushed back to the camp of the Great Wall garrison overnight, received the Empire's investigation team with Kara and several others, and sent Shelton to the "special cabin" of the battleship with various ironclad evidence.

No matter how many big names stand behind this person, the criminal record of the enemy unearthed during such a critical period is enough to make it difficult for all the members of this smuggling trade network to protect themselves, and the best fate that awaits him will be exile.

At the same time, Sitz was officially appointed at the suggestion of the black-haired knight, and the cabinet also assigned him a deputy, whether for the purpose of surveillance or decentralization, all in all, he felt that the chair under his ass was much more steady.

Under the pretext of the invasion of highland spies, Yareh managed to seize the opportunity to formally integrate the Celtic army into a monolithic ...... No, it is a top-down efficient and authoritative administrative system!

In any case, with Siz sitting in the garrison of the Great Wall, it is impossible for the Highland spies to go over the Great Wall to make soy sauce, and the Governor's Palace can also slowly beat the dog behind closed doors.

Tun Lun City, Temporary Office.

Bruno stood behind the black-haired knight, watching him staring at the map in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "Yalei, now that Siz controls the garrison, shouldn't we speed up and integrate the monsters?"

"Take your time, we are short on manpower, and eating too much at one time is not digestible. ”

As Yalei spoke, he stretched out his arm to pull out a topographic map, looked at the mountainous distribution of the Highland Kingdom, and sighed: "The area of this broken country is not large, but more than half of it is mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

Kara was staring out the window at the barbecue stand in the distance, drooling. After hearing his words. Suddenly turned his head in surprise:

"It's a great achievement to be able to hold on. Are you still planning to counterattack?"

"What if there's a chance?" the black-haired knight winked at him.

"You're the governor, you have the final say. ”

Seeing that the other party said this, he didn't take this sentence to heart, and then his eyes immediately turned to the fragrant barbecue stall in the distance, thinking that it was already dinner time, so he swallowed his saliva and proposed:

"How about a barbecue for dinner?"

"Yes. ”

Yalei responded indifferently, and then thought of Nicole, who was being tortured by various security incidents, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"When you go out to buy dinner. By the way, let Nicole come over too, it's time to reassign her to a new job, and it's too wasteful to let the Scourge Knight manage the law. ”

"Who's going to take care of the law?"

The silver-haired young man looked at the noisy market outside, and said a little uneasily: "Recently, there are more and more people in the city, so it's okay to leave it alone." ”

"Recruit local residents, and by the way, set up a city defense team, what is the treatment...... That's pretty much it, and when we have money in the future, we can slowly increase our salaries. The black-haired knight replied unruly.

"Then I'm out!"

Kara never took her eyes off the barbecue stand. As he spoke, the figure went out.

......

Shortly after Carla's figure vanished, Charlene brought a basket of elaborate dinners. Energetically, he walked into the windmill, followed by several cleaned poison ivy mushrooms.

"Honey, it's a coincidence that you're here. Yare and Bruno glanced at each other and said helplessly.

"No, no, no...... Don't use that name! Not now, not in the future!" The green-haired girl's pretty face instantly turned red, like a boiling kettle, and steaming white steam was bubbling from her head.

"Well, judging by the look on your face, it worked out successfully. ”

"Of course!"

Charlene showed a triumphant expression, put the large bamboo basket on the seat on the side, and said proudly: "The water lizard has announced its surrender, and the poison ivy mushroom is even more obedient. ”

"So powerful?" both looked at her in shock.

"It's just ......"

The green-haired girl turned her words, scratched her hair, and said with some embarrassment:

"Because of a little problem inside, there are only more than a hundred poison ivy mushrooms left, and they are currently in the poisonous mist jungle and even have problems with self-protection...... Although he was converted, it didn't seem to be of much use. ”

"No wonder ......" the black-haired knight and silver-haired boy showed the expressions they should have been.

"What about you, you've been away for three whole days, how are things going?"

"It went better than expected. Yalei glanced around and said.

......

"I sympathize with your situation, but for the sake of being a woman, I need to remind you. Nicole carried Aisha in the direction of the windmill and said seriously:

"The Celtic Governor's Mansion is currently facing off against the Highland Kingdom, maybe there will be a war one day, Yare has been busy lately, and he definitely doesn't have time to worry about your affairs, so be mentally prepared. ”

"I know, so I won't make excessive requests. The dryad replied cautiously.

"That's good. The knight nodded in satisfaction, and then quickened her pace.

After the two followed Carla into the temporary office, everyone in the room was stunned, especially Charlene, who knew what her grandfather did, and couldn't help but be a little nervous when she saw a living tree elf standing in front of her.

"Is that you?"

The black-haired knight sat at the head of the table, holding a butter-coated loaf of bread in his hand, and saw the dryad follow the female knight, with a surprised expression.

"Your Excellency, meet again. ”

Aisha glanced timidly at the other party, and then bowed to everyone present, because she had been dancing for a long time, her movements looked elegant and generous.

"What's going on?"

When the green-haired girl saw that the two looked like they knew each other, she was instantly jealous, and she was almost about to enter a state of fried hair.

"Things are not what you think!"

Seeing that Charlene's expression was wrong, the tree elf hurriedly explained: "I have only met the Doge a few times in Gaul, and at that time, my lover was killed by a killer, and the Doge took pity on me and promised to help me. ”

"Oh...... I see......" The green-haired girl nodded in understanding. Anger clears in an instant.

"Anyway. You're also a guest now. Sit down. ”

Yalei gave Charlene an extremely gloomy look, and then pointed to the plate: "It's not very rich, but these foods are delicious, you can try them." ”

"Thank you for your generosity. Aisha, of course, would not refuse his kindness, and after washing her hands in the basin on her right, she politely sat down at the end of the seat.

"Nicole, why did you come with her?" the black-haired knight glanced at the female knight in surprise.

"Coincidence. ”

Nicole's eyes widened as she stared at a table of delicacies, and quickly lifted the silver lid in front of her. A crisp white ceramic basin holds a perfectly stewed potato stew with tomatoes and sprinkled with shredded olives and sausages.

A familiar and seductive scent caused the knightess to twitch her nose, and as she swallowed, she said carefully:

"When Aisha first came to town, she was bullied by a scum dressed as a farmer, and not only did she tease her, but the bastard also started beating people, and then she was sent to me by the angry residents. ”

"That's ...... so"

Areh glanced at the Dryad thoughtfully and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, you didn't get Charles's inheritance." ”

"Yes. My lord. ”

Aisha responded obediently, staring at the plate in front of her without squinting. Snorted and said:

"The Charles family bribed everyone so that they all denied the will, and Aisha and I only got one house, and his property was inherited by my brother in its entirety. ”

"Why for my brother?" asked Nicole vaguely, taking a bite of butter bread.

"Charles's wife was infertile, and he was not able to leave offspring. Aisha didn't intend to hide the fact that she was a mistress, because it couldn't be hidden, and it was impossible for a human to marry a tree elf.

“......”

The five people present glanced at each other, and they all showed complicated expressions

Although the experience of the tree elves is very sympathetic, Charles's family did nothing wrong, the inheritance is not left to his immediate family, but to a different mistress, this kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone.

"Miss Aisha. ”

Yalei cleared his throat, looked directly at Aisha, and asked softly, "So the murderer of Charles, the criminal nicknamed Crocodile, has been arrested?"

“......”

Miss Tree Elf shook her head gloomily, clenched the corner of the dining table with both hands, and said without saying anything:

"Lord Governor, the reason why I have come to ask for your help is not to catch the criminals as soon as possible, Miss Nicole has also told me about the Highland Kingdom. ”

"Go on. The black-haired knight looked at her as he cut a slice of steak and put it in his mouth.

"I want a job. ”

Aisha plucked up her courage, looked into his eyes, and said seriously, "My daughter Marta is still young, and I want her to get a better education, but now I can't afford to pay for it...... So, I hope you can help me, sir. ”

"I see. ”

Yarei breathed a sigh of relief, this was not a difficult matter, and immediately said: "Celtic has set up a lot of factories at present, and there is a great shortage of manpower, if you want, I can recommend it." ”

"Thank you so much. ”

Miss Dryad showed her gratitude just right, but in her heart she was very sorry that she couldn't take this opportunity to get close to the other party, and it seemed that she would have to find a way later.

"By the way, isn't there a shortage of cooks in the camp?" said Bruno, in a very agreeable way.

"There will be no shortage, when the time comes, divide some recruits and let them do it themselves. The black-haired knight decisively rejected the offer.

What are you kidding, the barracks are heavy, how can you let an outsider come in casually, Bruno is still too young, too simple, and his life experience needs to be improved.

......

After dinner, Nicole took Aisha back to her quarters for a while, and Kara and Bruno went to the monster camp first, leaving Arley and Charlene alone.

The black-haired knight looked at the silent Charlene and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Are you stupid?"

The green-haired girl really exploded, and said angrily: "Grandfather has killed so many tree elves, and it is not an exaggeration for the Tudor family to say that it is a blood feud with them, how can I receive her with a normal heart!"

"You're overthinking. ”

Yalei patted her on the head. He chuckled and said, "How can these ordinary tree elves know so much. They're just struggling to survive. Besides. They were able to come to Antlasu to survive because of your father's blessing, so what reason is there to resent you?"

"It's not that simple. ”

Charlene glared at him angrily, gritted her silver teeth and said:

This hatred can only be forgotten for a while, and when they have settled down and have a chance to breathe, they will surely remember the blood feuds of the past! Barbarians are not to be trusted, and aliens are not to be trusted. They will never be grateful to you for your favor, they may laugh at your stupidity, they are only afraid of the butcher's knife, and they will only obey it!"

"I agree with you. ”

The black-haired knight hugged his lover who continued to blow up his fur and comforted him in a low voice, "I never wanted to trust the tree elves, but where does Aisha's speech and demeanor look a little like the tree elves?"

"But she is a tree elf after all, humans and they will not give birth to offspring, and naturally there is no way to talk about fusion, how terrible it is to be different species of the same culture. Do you still need me to tell you?"

Charlene buried her face in his arms, whimpering angrily and aggrievedly: "For the sake of living space and historical hatred." It was only a matter of time before they rebelled. ”

"You're thinking too much, unless the emperor and the cabinet are fools, they will let the tree elves grow big in Atlasus. ”

The black-haired knight gently stroked her back as if to soothe a big cat, and said calmly: "We use them as an expedient measure, and a tree elf like Aisha is so weak and obedient, let alone dangerous. ”

"I don't like her anyway. ”

The green-haired girl fell silent and let out a comfortable soft grunt.

"It's okay, you won't see her often in the future. ”

Yalei put his arms around her waist and kissed the other party's forehead: "It's so late, hurry up and rest, I'll go and boil hot water for you." ”

"What are you doing with hot water?" Charlene said knowingly with a blushing face, her eyes looking out of the window.

"Take a bath, of course!"

The black-haired knight replied with a serious face, pausing suddenly, and an evil smile appeared on his face:

"I'll wash it for you. ”

......

Celtic, Emerald Valley.

Duke and his subordinates were dressed as regular soldiers of Rosevia, tiptoeing among the trees, they were not in a very good state at the moment, and many of them were still with injuries.

The gang had just returned from the Lost Wetlands, and they had planned to sing a repeat of the good show that had been staged in the Yinfeng Mountains, but they were bombarded by a burst of water cannons by the salamanders that had been prepared for a long time, and after the wolf ran to the pigs, they left several corpses before escaping.

Duke was a little surprised by the swiftness of the Rosevians' reaction, but what made him even more jealous was the attitude of the monsters. I don't know what kind of drug the governor poured on them, almost all of the monsters have a sneering attitude towards the Free Alliance and the Highland Kingdom, but their favor for the Alliance of Order is growing day by day.

Can't let this kind of thing continue!

Duke knew that his intentions had been seen through by the other party, and there was no point in continuing to plant the blame, and the only way now was to find a way to make the monster and Rosevia feel guilty.

He targeted the Vam clan, and yes, the first group of monsters to defect to the Rosevian people was undoubtedly the focus of all the monsters, and their fate also determined their attitude.

As long as the Vam clan does not end well, it will definitely be able to deal a blow to the governor's position in the hearts of the demons.

Therefore, Duke arrived at the Vam habitat with his men, and decided to do whatever it took to make the blood of this dragonborn spill all over the valley.

"Vam has nothing to fear!"

Duke stood beneath a tall tree, once again encouraging his men:

"They're just inferior dragonborns who have lost their power, and adult Vam is only at the level of a third-order Dou Qi warrior, so if we sneak attack, we can easily kill them!"

"We know, but ...... Where are they now?"

The Highland warriors stood on tiptoe and looked around, and in their vision there was a verdant green, not to mention a Vam, and they didn't even see a living critter.

“......”

Duke suddenly looked up at the sky, and in the clouds in the sky, it seemed that something was flying here, and the white clouds kept rolling, as if to welcome the arrival of the thing, and a shadow gradually emerged.

"This ...... This is!"

The huge shadow shocked the Celts, as if they had seen a long-lost god resurrected.

All the Highlanders, including Duke, looked incredulously at the tumbling clouds, the white clouds forming a huge vortex, and the huge shadows seemed to hover over the clouds, causing the wind and clouds to spin with it in awe, and it seemed to soon emerge from the white vortex.

With an inexplicable terrifying momentum, a huge head poked out of the whirlpool, far exceeding the size of an ordinary house, with a streamlined nose bridge and eyebrow line, and two pale yellow eyes burning with silver fire, showing ancient and profound power.

And at the end of the corner of its eyebrows, at the top of its skull, there are four sharp horns, each of which is as thick and long as a pillar, and there is a faint surge of thunder in the middle.

"Dragons!"

It wasn't just anyone who broke down and shouted, but everyone didn't make any resistance, or tried to resist, because they knew very well that they were nothing more than insects in front of the true dragon power.

An invisible coercion spread with the dragon's presence, and Duke immediately felt as if his skin was being pressed intensely, his breathing and heartbeat becoming difficult, and some force was trying to force him to turn and run away or bend his knees.

Why are there real dragons in the Emerald Valley?

I can't care so much about it...... All in all, they didn't do anything out of line, and if the other party could be reasonable, they might have a way to live. (To be continued......)
