In the afternoon, before the sun had set, the Red Fortress had completely fallen. www.biquge.info The defenders of the Westside were defeated, 50,000 men were killed, and the Celtic general was nowhere to be found.

This result did not make too many waves, although the original red fortress was the focus of attention of many countries, but most of them were to watch the battle between the four generals of the damnation and Yu Lian, and now, since the Knights of the Final Yan have withdrawn from the fortress, it is impossible to resist the attack of the Sith Empire with those ordinary generals and soldiers. Therefore, the countries were no longer interested at this time, and most of them began to turn their attention back to the Sith Empire and the Knights of the Last Days. As for the Kingdom of West, no one has asked about it at this moment.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what is happening, as West V destroyed the Great Wall, causing division and chaos in the country, and the Knights of the Late Knights reclaimed the Twilight Forest. It can be seen that the territory around him should also fall to the side of the Twilight Forest. Not to mention that the idiotic decision made by West V made him a prisoner in front of his eyes, and what could a country that even the king had lost to do?

Its destruction is only a matter of time -- no, perhaps before the Sith Empire invades the royal city, the country of West will be completely destroyed.

And as for Wester V......... The bustling streets are crowded with people.

Many people gathered on both sides of the road, staring at the prisoner van slowly passing in front of them with various expressions. Different from what Duke Barron had seen before, the prisoner cart that appeared in front of everyone this time seemed to have undergone further "modification and upgrading", and the decoration of the internal visitors was also "updated". He took off the armor that had been torn in the battle and replaced it -- uh, nothing at all.

Strictly speaking, clothing refers to the products of the human body for concealment, and if the shabby white cloth that surrounds the lower body and the plug that plugs the mouth are also considered clothes, then our majesty the king seems to be a little far from returning to the primitive.

Unlike before, he was finally able to sit instead of stand—a huge pyramid-shaped piece of wood lay beneath him, the sharp tip of which was clearly "intimately" fused with His Majesty's buttocks.

It was evident that our Majesty was not accustomed to such a chair, and although he tried to stand up with all his might, the chains that bound his ankles on either side stopped him completely, and poor West V could only endure the violent jolts of the journey on the way, and it seemed that he was in great pain than the others.

After all, wooden wheels are not very soft.

However, this is not something that Yulian wants to be concerned about.

"It's great to see you safe, Princess Fili. ”

An elegant and charming smile appeared on Yulian's face, and then he took a half step forward, bent down, graciously took Fili's right hand, and kissed her lightly on the back of her hand.

"Frankly, I'm really worried about whether you're going to be devastated by some bad news, but it seems like you're doing pretty well right now, and I guess I'm overthinking. ”

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Yuren. ”

Fei Li lowered her head, and her originally white and tender face was now flushed.

"And ...... Lord Yuren, I am no longer a princess, and I am not worthy of such a honorable title anymore, Lord Lord...... Later......... Just call me by my name. ”

At the end of the sentence, Fili's voice was almost inaudible, and she lowered her head and stared shyly at the ground. Sensing the reaction of Her Royal Highness the princess, a trace of doubt flashed in Yu Lian's eyes, and he frowned imperceptibly, but on the surface, his polite posture did not change at all.

"So......... I'll call you from now on...... Miss Fili, is that good?"

"Absolutely. ”

Fili nodded shyly, then hesitated for a moment before she raised her head and asked with a hint of anticipation.

"This ...... Yuren-sama, I wonder if you have time for the afternoon?"

"Uh-huh........."

Hearing this question, Yu Lian paused with some confusion, he thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"There's still time. ”

"That'...... So, can I go to you in the afternoon?"

"Of course, Miss Fili, then, I will take my leave. ”

"Ah, yes, I know you must be tired after a long journey, please take care of yourself. ”

After the greetings, Yuren exited the room with his usual elegant smile, and then quietly closed the door, and then his face changed, and he turned away, looking coldly at Ofaril and Charlotte who were standing behind him.

"I said two young ladies, how did you explain it to her?"

"It's not difficult. ”

Although Yulian's face was very ugly, Charlotte was still smiling and grinning, without angering her master's consciousness in the slightest.

"We just told her that because the news of Princess Fili's life was known to King West V, that idiot king led his troops to attack the Twilight Forest, and Lord Yuren, in order to protect Miss Fili from the hands of that idiot king, immediately led the soldiers back from the Red Fortress, right?"

“............... It's a very touching romantic story, not your style. ”

"This is Miss O'Faryl's idea, and I'm just responsible for adding a little bit of detail. ”

In the face of Yulen's taunt, Charlotte turned to the side modestly, and then gestured to O'Faryl, who nodded as a matter of course, as if she had done something worthy of praise.

“........................”

Looking at the two who were not ashamed but proud, You Lian sighed helplessly and shook his head, but he couldn't say anything anymore.

"You're going to get me in trouble. ”

"I'm here for the sake of my master!"

This is the most logical answer at the moment, at least for Miss Fili. ”

Obviously, there are too many reasons for these two people to find.

"Forget it. ”

Seeing that they didn't take this matter to heart at all, Yulian also gave up the intention of preaching again, he turned around and walked towards the study, and then asked.

"So, report on the current situation, O'Fariel, how many days are left before our troops can be withdrawn?"

"About three days. ”

Offariel also put away the slightly smug smile on her face, although she was happy to watch her chief eat turtles, but in business, she still had to continue.

"According to your instructions, Lord Yuren, they should evacuate the Red Fortress after we leave, and I think it should be in time for them. ”

The reason why Yuren and the others were able to return to the Twilight Forest from the Red Fortress in an instant was because of the mobile spell provided by the source, through which Yuren could bring some people back to the Twilight Forest no matter where they were. The rest of the part, due to the urgency of the situation at the time, did not have time to collect, so it was handed over to Judy's adjutant to manage.

Of course, according to the plan, the part of the noble alliance belonging to the Bird family and the Zack family will also be withdrawn, without the existence of the Knights of the End, the red fortress will naturally not be able to hold it, so these noble private troops will stay there to wait for death, it is better to return to their own territory and protect their own family.

Of course, Yulian had also ruled over Viscount Bird and Della on this matter beforehand, and although they were helpless, they had no choice but to accept it. After all, for the aristocracy, although the country and the royal family are also very important, but the king himself has made this country like this, and we, as aristocrats, have no way to show any strength to turn the tide, so it is better to take care of ourselves first.

To dispel the two's concerns, Yuren also assured them that the agreement he had signed with the two families on behalf of the Knights of the Last was still valid, and that he would issue a statement announcing that the territories of the Bird and Zack families would be under the guardianship of the Knights of the End. Anyone who dared to attack them would be a declaration of war on the Knights of the End.

Of course, Yu Lian also put forward a bunch of quite strict conditions and requirements, for example, he can indeed send people here, but the large army still has to be paid by the major families themselves, and the final knights only have commanders, and the two major families have to pay a protection fee every year, and at the same time vigorously promote the circulation of reform and trade links, as well as extend the jurisdiction of the Twilight Forest, etc., etc., these interests are a bit excessive for the two big families, but in order to protect their own territory, they can only agree. Therefore, Viscount Bird and Della, after consulting the patriarch respectively, agreed to Yuren's request. At the same time, he was assured that the patriarchs of the two families would personally go to the Twilight Forest to sign this defense treaty.

"The soldiers of those two families have also withdrawn?"

"According to the report, yes. ”

O'Faryl carefully recalled, then replied in the affirmative.

"That's fine. ”

Hearing this, Yulian nodded, and no longer asked, but asked another question.

"Charlotte, how is the castle's combat strength at the moment?"

"The Knights of the End have recovered a third of their combat effectiveness, and for now, it's not bad. But master, we need more materials, and the combat power of many sisters is reflected in equipment, but right now, we don't have enough materials to make weapons and equipment. ”

"That's a real problem. ”

Hearing this, Yulian frowned.

"We really can't find any more rare materials, Lord Yuren. ”

At this moment, Ofariel lost no time in interjecting.

"Twilight Forest currently has limited access to it, and even if we trade with other chambers of commerce, a lot of the materials are hard to come by......... I have also read Miss Charlotte's order, please forgive me, don't say that our Chamber of Commerce can't collect these things, even if it is a Chamber of Commerce that monopolizes the whole continent, it can't provide so many expensive materials. ”

"Let's be simple because it's ugly. ”

You Lian let out a long sigh, his profession is not an alchemist but a knight, so his weapon is basically a complete soul thing, and there is no need to change it at all. But for these Spirit Warriors, their weapons were already damaged. Even if You Lian is a gifted knight, his soul sword was also scattered after his death, so he still has to go back to retraining, not to mention the spirits of these knight classes. Of course, they can also use their own soul power into their weapons -- but if they are not weapons of good quality, then they cannot withstand such power.

"If they want to be patient, I can't help it, the current mainland is at this level, it's really not good, so I can only use it. ”

"Yes, master. ”

Hearing this, Charlotte didn't say anything more, just nodded quietly, although she also knew that this was true, but as a personal maid, it was also her duty to convey the opinions of her subordinates, so whether it was useful or not, she had to report to Yulian before making a decision.

"Hum Hum ........."

"Lalala........."

Just as the three of them walked around the corner of the hallway, two brisk voices appeared, and then, Messiah and Semiya held hands, briskly appeared in the hallway like two flying butterflies. Seeing Yulian, the two sisters immediately showed obvious joy on their faces, they ran over hand in hand, and then threw themselves into Yulian's arms.

"Brother!"

"Daddy!"

"It's boring. ”

"There's nothing to do. ”

"Do you want to play with Messiah?"

"How about we make a game together?"

"Now......... I'm afraid not. ”

Gently stroking the two girls' hairs, Yuren replied with a wry smile, shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at the sisters.

"I'm busy right now, I'm sorry, you guys go play by yourself first. ”

Hearing Yuren's answer, the two sisters did not express any dissatisfaction, on the contrary, they raised their heads curiously, blinked their eyes, and looked at Yulian's face.

"My brother is worried. ”

"Is Dad having trouble?"

"Would you like to tell us about it?"

"Maybe it will solve the problem?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Yu Lian's eyes lit up, he seemed to think of something, and then, he quickly showed a smile.

"So, let me see what you think. ”

With that, Julien quickly repeated Charlotte's problem to the sisters, and during this time, the sisters did not show anything other than lying on Julien's chest, their eyes wide open, and motionless. If you let others look at it, it's easy to wonder if they didn't listen at all, or if they didn't understand.

"That's it, at present, we lack raw materials, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the mainland is very lacking, even if we want to grab it, I'm afraid we can't find a good target. ”

In the end, Yu Lian clapped his hands and finished speaking.

At this time, the two sisters suddenly lowered their heads, looked at each other, and then gently stretched out their hands and slapped their palms.

"I thought my brother was worried about something. ”

"It's just a small thing. ”

"If you have the materials, you will naturally have them, right?"

"You can as much as you want. ”

"Where will it be?"

Hearing this, Ofariel couldn't help but ask with some doubts, she was also a prince and nobleman, and she also knew something about this aspect, so she naturally knew very well that many of the orders requested by Charlotte belonged to valuables that had disappeared and rare ore products. Such a thing, as Yulian said, even if you want to grab it, you don't know where it will be found. And now, listening to the two sisters, what do they seem to have a clue about?

"Of course. ”

"That's for sure. ”

In response to O'Faryl's question, the two sisters answered in the affirmative at the same time.

"In the end, the magic material is nothing more than the crystallization of magical power. ”

"Nature is a condensed object used to release magic and spells. ”

"Because, the place where it is kept in large quantities is obvious. ”

"Within the Mage Association, there is naturally a lot of inventory. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Offariel was startled, and Yuren nodded.

"Indeed, if it is the Mage Guild, it will take a lot of materials to make magic technology items, and there should indeed be something we want there. ”

"However, the Mage Guild does not allow private trading of raw materials. ”

Hearing this, Ofaril frowned.

"As I recall, the Mage Guild only deals with royal families, and its content is limited to the finished products of magic technology, and any construction drawings, inventions, formulas, and raw materials of magic objects are not for sale. ”

"Is there such a rule?"

"But that's no problem, right?"

Once again, the two sisters were quick to give an answer.

"As long as I go with Semiya, we'll be there soon, right?"

"As long as my sister and I go out, the Mage Association will agree?"

"That's right...... It is indeed possible. ”

Yuren nodded again, but he didn't immediately agree with the two of them.

"However, there is no need for you to leave now, and as for the raw materials, I don't think it will take long......... I've spoken to the mages of the Mage Guild before, and I think they'll be sending someone to talk to me about building a mage tower in the Twilight Forest soon. ”

Speaking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on Yu Lian's face.

"By then, Messiah, Semiya, you're going to have to behave. ”

"Of course, brother. ”

"I'll try, Dad. ”

The twin sisters replied quickly, and then they looked at each other, and then giggled away again, running out to find their own amusement.

"Lord Yuren, is this really okay?"

Watching the two leave, Ofariel asked in a low voice.

"After all, these two young ladies are still young, but the Mage Guild is difficult to deal with, and I personally think that if you plan to obtain magical materials through the Mage Guild, then it should be a good idea to talk to Archmage Larry Bod. ”

"There's no need for that. ”

Julien waved his hand, interrupting Ofariel's offer.

"Larry Bode is indeed an archmage, but with his strength, he has not yet been able to become one of the twelve star mages, and in the mage guild, his influence is not big enough to make a decision on such a thing - just leave it to them to do, because for the mage guild, their request cannot be refused. ”
