"We'll be stationed at the Crimson Fortress for another two months, and after two months, we'll be retreating to the Twilight Forest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Sitting in the chair, Yulian leisurely played with the silver spoon in his hand, and said to Viscount Bird and Della in front of him. Naturally, they also learned Yulian's identity, so they looked for it as soon as possible. In fact, when they heard the news, both Viscount Bird and Della couldn't help but feel a little lucky, they didn't expect this young man to have such an identity at all. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel very lucky -- fortunately, they chose to cooperate with Yu Lian in the first place, otherwise, I am afraid that now they would not even know how they died.

Therefore, when Yulian returned, they immediately came to visit in person, firstly to see the adult's attitude towards him, and secondly, to inquire about the next strategy. Now that the entire aristocratic coalition was completely in the driver's seat, there was no way to refuse his orders.

"Retreat to the Twilight Forest?"

Hearing Yuren's answer, Viscount Bird and Della glanced at each other, a little hesitant.

"My lord, but ........."

"Two months is the limit I can do for the Red Fortress. ”

Yuren interrupted Viscount Bird, and then he smiled and raised two fingers.

"I think you also know by now that I am not from the Kingdom of West, and the Knights of the End are also a reading force, so the orders of your king are not binding on me. The reason why I am willing to lead my men to defend the Red Fortress is simply to repay the favor of your acting ruler of the territory. So, this is entirely my own initiative, and has nothing to do with your king, and of course, the agreement between us is still valid, provided that you represent your own family, not the Kingdom of West. ”

"Of course, of course. ”

Hearing this, Viscount Bird and Della hurriedly nodded in response, in fact, their family also made a decision similar to that of the three archdukes after receiving the news. After all, the king's danger is far away, but the Twilight Forest borders their borders, and if they don't get it right, it will bring ruin to their family. What's more, it is necessary to take into account the attitude of Her Royal Highness Princess Ofaril, so in addition to not really announcing their separation from the royal family, these two families have actually done a similar job. Before they arrived, the representatives of the two families were still a little worried about whether Yuren would still recognize the agreement between them, after all, they were just two noble families, but the Knights of the End were an organization with great prestige in history, and the comparison between the two was like an ant and an elephant, which was not equal at all, and they were also a little worried about whether Yuren would still recognize him. And now, since the other party has personally said that they will continue to follow the agreement between them, then these two people are naturally greatly relieved.

"If the Sith Empire chooses to attack, then it is possible that I will continue to garrison, but if within two months, the Sith Empire will not move, then I will retreat to the Twilight Forest with the Knights......... After that, I won't be paying attention to any wars between the West and the Sith. Of course, according to the agreement between the two of you and me, if you are threatened by the Sith Empire, then we will assist in the defense, but other than that, we will not do anything else. ”

"This ............"

Hearing this, Viscount Bird and Della showed some embarrassment, on the one hand, they were West's people, and they stood by and watched the country in times of crisis, which naturally did not fit their style. But the fool also knows how difficult the army of the Sith Empire is to resist, these two are only big nobles, not like the Grand Duke with a fairly large private army, if you really have to face the attack of the talented knights, then it is just a "death" word.

"Okay, Yuren-sama, we get it. ”

Eventually, Viscount Bird nodded and replied. Yu Lian had already made it clear before that he was not from the West Kingdom, so he didn't care about the internal affairs of the West Kingdom. You are the nobles of West, and whether you want to fend off the defense or counterattack is your own problem, and it has nothing to do with me. So he finally pulled down Della, who was about to ask, and stopped the other party's reckless speech, and then he bowed respectfully to Yulian.

"I think you should understand very well that these words are best known only to the three of us. ”

"Of course, we understand. ”

Watching Viscount Bird and Della leave, the elegant, smug smile on Yuren's face once again appeared. At this moment, Charlotte, who had been standing beside him and was silent, opened her mouth to ask.

"Master, are you really planning to stay here for two months?"

"Of course. ”

You Lian stirred the milk tea in the cup with a silver spoon, and then raised his eyebrows.

"Anyway, after all, the Kingdom of West has helped us manage for seventy years, and nothing has changed much in these seventy years, so in this case, I have no problem guarding the border for two months. Unfortunately, we never do the work of the Knights, so if the Kingdom of West wants my help, they will have to pay a lot of money. ”

"Same as before?"

"Of course, the same as before. ”

Saying this, You Lian picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"Charlotte, I have something you need to do. ”

"Master, please command. ”

"I'd like you to make a trip to Orrut and meet the commander there alone. ”

Yu Lian's tone was ordinary, indifferent as if he was traveling.

"Then inform them that I will not leave the Red Fortress unless there are any accidents. ”

"I see what you mean. ”

Hearing this, Charlotte smiled, she tilted her head, and thought for a moment.

"Just get that across?"

"Yes, don't worry, if you die in battle, I will find you a body that is more beautiful than the one you have now, of course, before that, if you have any requirements, you can write them down, such as bust and hair color. ”

"I'm very happy with my body now, master. ”

Hearing Julien's words, Charlotte chuckled and replied.

"Frankly, it's rare to have such a well-maintained body, and I remember that when I was alive, I was always focused on research, so I didn't pay much attention to my own maintenance. At that time, my skin and hair color were indeed worse than others, but now, since I have such a good body, I certainly don't plan to waste it easily. ”

"It's best, remember, go and come back. ”

Since Charlotte had already given such an answer, Yulian didn't say anything more, he just casually told him and stopped talking.

It seems that this conversation is just a private chat between the two people, but you must know that just now, Charlotte has received an order that is enough to make everyone feel frightened, which means that she will quietly pass through the defense line of the Red Fortress, through the defense line of the Sith Empire, and deep into the territory of Orrut. Although on the surface, this is very similar to the previous Yuren who led the twin sisters to sneak into Orrut, but the two are completely different. After all, the last time Yuren went to the territory of Orrut, he only stopped at random, and no matter where it was, it was up to him to choose. But this time, Charlotte had to take the initiative to go to the Sith barracks, and even quietly find the other party's leader and report it. This is undoubtedly a very difficult, if not impossible, job. Because Charlotte's own strength is not high, even when she was alive, she was not able to reach the knight level, but she just had strength comparable to that of a knight. And now, staying in this completely ordinary body, Charlotte also lacks the strength she used to have. Right now, in terms of body, she's just an ordinary human girl. Even a low-level swordsman can pose a threat to her.

However, Charlotte agreed, and did not hesitate, as if it were not the slightest difficulty for her. And You Lian didn't take into account the huge disparity in the comparison of this entity, and directly issued this order that seemed to outsiders to be "sent to death".

Charlotte left soon after, however, no one knows how she left.

It wasn't until three days later, when Ofariel sorted out the military information and sent it to Yuren's operations command room, that she became curious about this, and when she asked Yuren, the answer she got was "She has something to do, and she is out for the time being." Such an answer, therefore, O'Faryl did not take it to heart.

So, where exactly is Charlotte?

In the territory of the Kingdom of Orrut, the Silver Forest.

White tents stretched deep into the forest, and around them, heavily armed soldiers were quietly patrolling, their expressions serious, but somewhat bored, holding their weapons, and scanning all directions vigilantly. Their performance is not bad, but it is not very good, after all, this is now the territory of the Sith Empire, and it is also the internal area, and this is the residence of the four generals of Heaven's damnation, who dares to come here?

The guards glanced around vigilantly before turning around and continuing along the established route, while just as they had left with their front feet, another patrol immediately filled the void and continued to carry out the order of surveillance and defense.

Charlotte frowned.

At this moment, she was standing far away on a tree, hiding her figure with the help of the shade, while looking at the camp in the distance. At this moment, the girl's face was solemn, and she wore a pair of monocular glasses in her right eye, on which a magical light faintly flickered from time to time, and then completely disappeared in the sunlight, and disappeared without a trace.

"I really didn't expect that the other party's garrison was so strict, it's really strange, according to the intelligence, it shouldn't have been like this. ”

Charlotte said to herself as she reached out and took out the map from her bosom, carefully comparing the distribution of troops above.

In fact, Charlotte has never been an ordinary maid, and this time, Yuren led the Knights into battle, and in addition to Charlotte, he also brought five other maids with him. Of course, these maids, like Charlotte, are those who are not strong enough in themselves, and they are housed in the bodies of ordinary girls, resulting in no strength to speak of. All this time, O'Fariel and Viscount Bird and others did not understand why these maids came to the battlefield. They don't have any fighting ability, and they can't fight like the twin sisters and Judy, so it's obviously pointless. In the end, they can only blame it on the fact that Yulian deliberately chose these maids because he wanted someone to serve them. After all, nobles always need to be served when they go out, no matter what they do.

In fact, these five maids are not out to travel and serve their masters, from the day after they came to the Red Fortress, these five maids were sent by Charlotte to collect intelligence and information in the territory of Orrut, they are not warriors, but the most professional spies!

Of course, the Knights of the End had to have their own intelligence network, and these intelligence networks were the most elite part of the network constructed entirely by Charlotte and her subordinates.

"There are twice as many patrols as usual. ”

After comparing the three points of information, Charlotte frowned, then made a judgment, and then, she raised her head and looked curiously at the barracks in front of her.

"It's really strange, the Sith Empire is not planning to march at present, why is it so tightly defended?

Charlotte's judgment was not wrong, in fact, at the moment, in the front-line military camp of the Sith Empire, there was indeed a noble and completely unexpected big man.

"Sister-sama. ”

Sidwig followed Lyntilot's side, grasping the corner of her dress with one hand, and looking up at the girl beside her.

"It's really hard, I didn't expect you to come here after a long journey, I'm sorry, it's my lack of ability, otherwise ........."

"It's not your fault, Sidwig. ”

Lintillot smiled softly, and she stroked the girl's long hair.

"The Knights of the End are really enemies to anticipate, so it's always good to be cautious. After all, we are fighting for our country, and naturally the interests of the country are taken into account. In fact, it was very pleasing to me that you were able to follow my orders and wait for instructions, and I remember that you always disliked that. ”

"I really don't like it. ”

Hearing Lintilott's words, Sidwig shook her head, and then, she grabbed the corner of the princess's clothes even harder.

"However, this is my sister's order, as long as it is your order, my sister, then I will listen to it. ”

“.................. You............"

Hearing this, a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of Lintilott's mouth, she shook her head, and then sighed, to be honest, she didn't understand why her father insisted on attacking West. In fact, there are already a lot of opposition voices within the Sith Empire, although victory can be used to calm emotions, but war is a major event after all, and its impact is also in all aspects, although victory can offset the grievances about war, but the feeling of boredom will arise sooner or later. And now, with the threat of the Knights of the Last reappearing, there are already voices within the Empire. The Sith Empire has always been eloquent and strategic, and it should know how to make trade-offs, but this time, the choice he made Lintillot, as a royal daughter, unable to understand it no matter what. For a long time, Lintillot thought that she should know her father the deepest, but now, she suddenly realized that she didn't know anything about her father.

However, after all, she is the daughter of the Empire, and the de facto ruler of the Sith Empire is her father, so whether it is out of the relationship between father and daughter or the monarch and minister, she has to carry out the orders of the Sith Great.

"Alright, don't be naughty, I'm going to go see General Karan and then discuss the next question. ”

"Visiting that guy?"

Hearing this, Sidway's face immediately sank, and only then would she show her child's side of love -- to say that hate is to hate, to like is to like, and never to be fake.

"Sister-sama........."

"Sidwig?"

“............ Good. ”

In the end, Sidwig was unable to raise any objections. I had to take Lintillot with me to the camp of Karan, which was located on the other side of the camp.

As one of the four generals of Damnation, Kahlan naturally has his own station, but since he is a stormtrooper and not a coach after all, he has always acted with Sidwig. Therefore, his tent camp is not as conspicuous as the average manager, but it has a bit more exquisite and luxurious taste. Lyntillot and Sidwig arrived, and of course someone informed them, but the two waited for a while, and finally got a response from Karan inviting them into their tent.

Hearing this response, Sidwig was already a little impatient, she didn't care about this herself, but today she came with Her Royal Highness the Sith Empire, the daughter of the daughter, why didn't this damn half-blood bastard talk about etiquette at all? Obviously, he should have come out to greet him in person, but now he asked His Royal Highness to go in and see him by herself, what kind of fault is this?

"Okay, let's go meet him. ”

Seeing that Sidwig's face changed and she was obviously about to get angry, Lintillot stopped her, and then she walked into the tent. Sidwig, on the other hand, frowned dissatisfied, and finally followed.

However, when the two of them walked into the tent and saw Kahlan in front of them, they were all stunned.

At present, Kahlan has completely lost his graceful and elegant posture in the past, he just stands there like a stake, and on his right cheek, I don't know when an iron half mask appeared, this cold metal mask covered half of Karan's face in this way, and under the illumination of the light, it looked extremely weird. Seeing Lintillot arrive, Karan also bowed first.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. ”

"Don't worry, you're ..............."

Lintillot replied softly, staring at Kahlan with some confusion, she couldn't figure out how the general could have become like this. Karan laughed at her question, and then he reached out and gently stroked his mask.

"This is the price of my arrogance, Your Highness. ”

Then, the Wind Bringer spoke.

"I'm thinking, I'm realizing, yes, I've made a mistake, but I'm sure I'm not going to do it again. So, this is a reminder for me that will always make me remember how wrong I was when I made it. ”

"It seems that you have recovered. ”

Lintilott's smile was as comfortable as a spring breeze, and although she was standing in front of a man who was despised by all the women of the Sith Empire, she did not show the same overt disgust as Sidway.

"It's true that on the battlefield, any setback is possible, but not everyone will be able to overcome this obstacle, and I was a little worried, but now it seems that I am too worried. ”

"Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness. ”

Hearing Lintillot's answer, Karan smiled, but at the moment the smile on his face was not half elegant, but a little strange, as if it was ......... Something is wrong.

"So, may I ask you for me this time, what is the matter?"

"I'm here to consult with you about the next combat move. ”

Lintillot was quick to speak.

"Father has decided that the Kingdom of West must be fought, so we don't have time, we have to come up with a proper solution before then. ”

Hearing this, Sidwig immediately perked up, and Kahlan didn't say anything more.

"Well, let's talk in the conference room. ”

He nodded very calmly, then turned and stepped out of the tent.

Looking at Karan's figure, Sidwig and Lintillot once again looked at each other suspiciously, in the past, Karan saw Lintillot couldn't finish filming a lot of sycophants, but today there was no nonsense. If he didn't want to go out to meet people because of the wound on his face, now he himself took the initiative to go out......... I have to say, the Wind Messenger has indeed become a little weird.

But after all, neither of them said these doubts, and soon, they came to the combat conference room again. The conference room was deserted at the moment, and only one attendant was cleaning there.

"You can leave. ”

Sidwig glanced at the attendant who was sorting out the papers on the table, and coldly gave the order. At this moment, the attendant raised his head and looked at the three of them curiously.

Then, with a very elegant smile, she put down the papers in her hand, bowed slightly to the three of them, and bowed.

"Ah, you must be General Sidwig and General Karan............? I was amazed, I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to come in person, no wonder the defense was so tight. ”

"Who are you!?"

Hearing this, Sidway's face changed, and she hurriedly stopped in front of Lintilott, and the four long swords made a crisp sound at the same time, and they were immediately unsheathed!

"Let me introduce myself first. ”

The young squire smiled, then wiped his hands from his face, and then, under the long golden hair, a beautiful girl's face appeared in front of everyone.

"I am Charlotte, the captain of the Knights of the End, the special operations unit 'Black Cat'. This is the first time we've met, hello. Three gifted knights. ”

"Knights of the End?"

Hearing this, the three of them were all shocked, they were about to discuss how to deal with the Knights of the End, but they didn't expect that the other party actually came to the door? Thinking of this, they immediately looked at the girl in front of them, but, to everyone's surprise, from her body, they didn't feel that kind of powerful soul power, that is, this girl didn't have much strength, so how did she evade surveillance and enter this important land?

"Are you here for anything?"

Lintillot was the first to react, holding Sidwig on the shoulder with one hand and asking in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness. ”

Charlotte smiled, and then she bowed gracefully again.

"I have come to convey to the three my master, the head of the Knights of the Last Days, Lord Yuren, that he will not leave the Red Fortress without any incident. ”

"Do you mean that the Knights of the End intend to fight us to the end?"

Hearing this, Kahlan suddenly asked, he stared coldly at the girl in front of him, without the slightest emotion in his eyes.

"That's not a question I can answer. ”

However, even in the face of this terrible and cold gaze, Charlotte still did not waver in the slightest, and the smile on her face did not fade.

"I'm just here to deliver the Master's message to you, and that's your question as to how to interpret it. Now, my mission is complete........."

As she spoke, Charlotte raised her right hand, and a beautiful jeweled ring on her finger began to glow beautifully.

"Well, I'm leaving. ”

The glow of magic enveloped Charlotte's body in an instant, and then she completely disappeared into thin air.

"Sister, she's .........!!"

"Don't get excited, Sidwig. ”

In the face of Charlotte's departure, the three talented knights did not act, although with their strength, it was very easy to keep Charlotte, but Lintillot stopped their action and let the other party leave. She stared thoughtfully at where Charlotte had left, then pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"I think I see what he means. ”

Lintillot muttered to herself, and then she looked up at the two gifted knights.

"Sidwig, Karan, I order you to immediately lead your troops to the Red Fortress, and at the same time order those two front-line divisions to be ready for battle!"

Then, she quickly gave the order.

(To be continued)
