172 The attitude of King Omar
As soon as he walked outside the Rose Inn, Reg noticed something abnormal, only to see some people walking around the inn, although these people were wearing ordinary cloth clothes, and deliberately made their steps seem a little sluggish, but still in the gestures can be seen the shadow of some soldiers.

Reg hesitated slightly, then raised his legs and walked into the inn, it happened that the proprietress Grena happened to look towards the door, and suddenly the two looked at each other, only to see Grena first blink slightly, then gently raise her eyebrows, and finally look at the luxury suite upstairs.
Seeing such an expression, Reg's heart fluttered, and his eyes scanned cautiously, and when he looked at the door of the suite, he understood it all at once, nodded lightly at Grenera, and then walked towards the suite quickly.
As soon as he walked up the stairs, a team of warriors dressed as mercenaries blocked up, and the leader looked Reg up and down and said, "The upstairs has been taken over by our regiment leader, if you want to stay in the hotel, please go elsewhere." ”
Reg unhurriedly took out a badge from the ring, and then shook it in front of the person, and immediately surprised the other party, because that badge is only owned by people in the Grand Duke's Mansion, but he didn't expect that the ragged man in front of him would be a person in the Grand Duke's Mansion, he hurriedly stood up and was about to salute, but then forcibly put down the arm that had been raised, and said in a panic, "Big 、、、 please!" I originally wanted to say the adult, but I felt that it was inappropriate, so I had to hurriedly change it to a word of invitation, and then quickly took someone to the side.
Reg didn't look at the right place and walked up the stairs, and as his footsteps slowly landed on the stairs, his mood began to become a little dull, as if a stone was blocked in his chest.
For this guest who lives in the suite, he has guessed a rough idea, presumably an important person sent by the Duke of Julio, and the purpose of this trip is probably to run to himself, thinking of this, he felt a little more ashamed, he planned with the Duke of Julio to calculate Shengxuan, and this trip made his heart completely conquered by Shengxuan, for an unidentified person like himself, just a few simple contacts, can desperately save the person, he began to regret what he said to the duke.
On the other hand, Duke Julio, who grew up with him since he was a child, and then assisted him with all his strength for so many years, but the former never let go of his arms, and always buried a trace of vigilance in his heart, which made him feel like a thorn in his heart, originally thought that this thorn would be slowly pulled out, but found that it was pierced deeper again and again.
Walking gradually heavily, he finally walked up to the top floor, Reg raised his eyes to look at the suite, and suddenly his whole heart sank, only to see a big man standing at the entrance of the building, motionless like a stone sculpture, a terrible scar on his face seemed to split the whole face diagonally, because the scar was so huge, he actually cut off the flat crawling nose from it, making his appearance even more ugly, a pair of bull's eyes were looking at him intently.
In those golden eyes, there was a cold gaze without the slightest emotion, and when he saw this big man, Reg knew that it was Duke Julio himself, because the big man was his personal dead soldier, and he had been with the duke since he was a child, and the scars on his body were all left to protect the duke, but everyone who tried to assassinate the duke ended up dying in his hands.
As for the name of this big man, not many people remember, but everyone called him the nickname Bull, the moment he saw the bull, Reg was stunned, but immediately he realized that something must have happened, otherwise the Duke would never come to this chaotic mercenary city in person.
Instead of greeting the bull, Reg walked quickly past him, came to the door and knocked lightly, and immediately a guard inside opened the door, glanced at it, and then let him in.
There were many people sitting in the living room of the luxurious suite, and after a quick glance, Reg was shocked to find that almost all the governors of the Duchy of Julio were sitting here, and Duke Julio was pointing to the map and saying something.
Reg didn't dare to come forward to disturb, and gently walked to the side and stood silently, after a long time, the duke finally finished speaking, and the governors nodded again and again, and then the Duke of Julio waved his hand to everyone, "You all go down and prepare separately, we are running out of time, we can only win this battle, we can only win and not lose this battle, the pressure on us has been increasing in the past few years, and we can't afford to lose." ”
Indeed, as Julio said, the current situation is indeed not optimistic for this principality, the king in the royal family is weak, everything is arranged by the temple, and the temple seems to be in the hands of the Archbishop of the Child of Light, but in fact it is secretly controlled by the Grand Elder Gatiaro of the Temple of Magic, if this is not the case, then how can the two neighboring principalities suppress themselves so much?
At this time, the governors of various places walked out of the room one after another, and when they saw Reg standing next to the door, they couldn't help but pay attention, but at this moment, Reg was covered in rags, and there was a lot of dirt on his face, and even Loren didn't recognize him, because Reg was usually a person with armor, and Loren had never seen such Rege, of course he wouldn't think it was him.
When everyone walked out, Julio nodded slightly at him, and Reg hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and before he could speak, the Grand Duke waved his hand, "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so don't be polite, come and sit down." ”
Regrio hesitated to sit down, and Julio asked, "Where have you been lately? Do you know that Calais has declared war on us?"
"Huh, so fast?" Julio nodded helplessly when he heard this, "yes, I didn't expect it to be so soon, the letter of state was delivered to His Majesty the Emperor half a month ago, and this time it was just a battle between us and Gonzas City, I really don't know what Theodore's old bastard thinks, if he wants to die, he will go by himself, why drag us along?"
"How can this be? Won't we be greatly injured after this battle?" Reg said a few questions in one breath, but saw a wry smile on Julio's face, "They have taken a fancy to our mercenary city, because this is the throat of the forest and the mines, Theodore wants to use this gambling battle, and the bet is this mercenary city." ”
"Huh?" At this moment, after hearing this, Reg could not describe the shock in his heart, you must know that the mercenary city is not only very important to the Duchy of Julio, but also determines the main timber and minerals of the Omar Empire, once the mercenary city is lost, it is equivalent to handing over these precious resources to Calais, "How did His Majesty the Emperor decide?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, hmph, that soft bone, I didn't expect him to make up his mind this time, and I didn't expect him to happily agree to this matter, hey," Julio couldn't help but sigh, and the scene that happened in the House couldn't help but come to mind.
The Oma Empire implements a parliamentary system, each principality has a certain number of seats as the parliament, and the position of the speaker is rotated among the thirteen principalities, and the current speaker is the principality of the Principality of Kerxia, and the Principality of Keria is the principality where Wiener's friend Alice is located, because the last son of the Grand Duke of Ferdinand died in the hands of Wiener, so the last duke passed to his nephew, and then passed to the current little Duke Ferdinand, this young little duke is not a simple character, within more than ten years, a huge duchy was governed in an orderly manner, and the strength surpassed the previous Grand Dukes, and because of his kinship with the kingThis, combined with the fact that his mother was Gatiaro's cousin, gave the Ksia a considerable weight in the parliament.
This time, the king convened a meeting in the House to discuss the matter of the war, and most of them were silent except for a few members of the principality, which made the atmosphere very awkward for a while, but a few members still agreed, so that a few conflicts of opinion were formed, and the king watched these councillors become more and more noisy, and looked at them with a smile, and did not say anything to stop it, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The main opposition is still the neighboring Calais countries, afraid of being affected by this war, and the one who agrees with it is, of course, wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and finally get some benefits from it, the dispute becomes more and more intense, and finally he even moves, after the speaker has failed to dissuade him several times, he wants to call the parliamentary guards to stop, at this moment, the king actually spoke, "Okay, you all stop, isn't it a gambling war?" I agreed, in fact, it doesn't matter if I see a war or not, since King Theodore likes Mercenary City, we will simply give it to him, but for the sake of the face of our Omar Empire, I think it's better to play with them, I'm tired and want to go back to rest, let's disperse. ”
After saying that, he threw down the entire chamber, and all the councillors who were speechless in astonishment, Emperor Nicholas slowly walked out of the chamber with his fat ass twisted.
This emperor, who has never made up his own mind, made such a ridiculous decision this time, but the king has the final say when the House cannot make a decision, so his words have to be adopted by the House, and a cruel war that will involve the blood and sacrifice of 100,000 or even a million people has made him decide like a game.
After listening to the king's attitude, Reg couldn't help crying and laughing, with such an emperor governing a country, it is no wonder that Gatiaro is so rampant, and in the name of the temple, he is afraid that sooner or later it will bring a catastrophe to Omar.
"Looks like we're going to have to fight. Reg sighed, and then looked at Grand Duke Julio, who also had a sad look on his face at the moment, "Calais's forward battalion has already driven to the Crolla Valley, our vanguard has also driven there, and the army is also being assembled, I believe it will be driven over in a few days, it seems that there is no time for you to develop that deciduous mercenary group." ”
Reg couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, he had already guessed this war, but he didn't expect it to come in this way, and it would come so quickly, if he was given a few more months, I believe he could make Fallen Leaf become the top mercenary group in Mercenary City, but now it all came too suddenly.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Julio couldn't help but ask, "You haven't told me where you've been all this time, and why did you make such a mess of yourself?"
Reg looked at Julio, and then said lightly, "We went to the forest to investigate the ore veins, originally thought that we could strengthen the mercenary group by opening mines, but it turned out that there were a large number of magical beasts there, and we couldn't take them down after a hard fight, and several other people who went with me were seriously injured, I couldn't take them with me, so I found a safe place to settle them down first, and I rushed back in advance to call someone to save them." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but subconsciously stroke the ring on his hand, which contained a few catties of high-purity Mithril, but now he had decided not to tell about it, and the Mithril Mine could not be mined for the time being.
"Then what are your plans now? Now that the war has started, do you still plan to stay in that deciduous mercenary group? Just come back and help me, I really don't have many people around me who can be trusted. With that, Julio took out the golden mask and placed it in front of Reg.
Reg looked at the mask, but did not stretch out his hand, "I still plan to stay in the mercenary group, since Theodore's purpose is to occupy the mercenary city, I think I will definitely get more news in the mercenary group, these mercenary armies are also an indispensable force for us, if Theodore does something from it, it will be quite disadvantageous to us." ”
Julio couldn't help but nod after hearing this, "What you say always makes me unable to refute, okay, you just stay there, you put away the mask, I think you will use it in the battle, remember that you are my brother, no matter how dangerous it is, I hope you can come back safely." With that, Julio placed the mask in Reg's hand and pressed it heavily on his arm.
Through Julio's palm, there was a warmth, almost making Reg cry, but at that moment, he saw a strange look in Julio's eyes, which couldn't help but make him feel a little wary in his heart, it seems that Julio will never give up his vigilance in his life, why is this?
