When Yuren left the fortress, his heart was full of relaxed and smug smiles. In fact, what he had been waiting for was this moment coming. Ever since he heard the news that O'Faryl had a close relationship with General Celtic, Yuren had been trying to use it to achieve his own goals. And now, that opportunity has finally presented itself.

In previous conversations and contacts with General Celtic, Yuren could sense that he was a very principled and talented general. And he is also full of deep feelings for West, according to Yuren's experience, such people generally do not bend under a certain person, they are patriotic, they are capable, they are also very confident that they can achieve their ideals, and they also have the strength and means to do so. And in this way, the people who can convince them and obey them must be in the minority. If a wise king can obtain such talents, it will be a great blessing for the country, and vice versa, a great disaster for the king.

And West V, although Yulian has never seen it, but through the stories of the surrounding people, it can still be seen that this majesty is still less than 108,000 miles away from the wise monarch. Offariel once described him as over-cautious, self-centered, and suspicious. He had not yet become a king. But after he became king, the nobles did not have a good opinion of the king, but at the same time they did not have any bad feelings. That is to say, after this king ascended the throne, he was actually as tasteless as boiled water, and there was nothing worthy of the nobles' concern, and there was nothing worthy of the nobles' opposition. Therefore, the nobles will not take this His Majesty's personal ability too seriously, after all, although education is acquired, talent is innate. The height that Ofaril could reach at the age of sixteen, and the fact that His Majesty the King is now forty and still has not succeeded, shows the difference between the two sides. Because of this, the great nobles did not care about the prosperity that His Majesty could lead West, they only hoped that during the reign of West V, the whole country would be kept at peace, and nothing would be disturbed or unfavorable to the nobles. As for the rest, they no longer ask for extravagance.

However, these are only views in times of peace, and it is not ununderstandable to have such a negative attitude in a time when most countries are at peace with each other. But now is not the time for peace, the turmoil of war is still in sight, and there is a desperate desire for a wise and wise monarch who can lead his people to victory over disaster. In this way, His Majesty the King, who is as tasteless as boiled water, will inevitably suffer from human diseases. Even if he does not make mistakes now, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make mistakes when the war begins later. And Yulian can also see from what Celtic said to him before that the old general himself also has little confidence in the ability of this king. It's as if this call to recruit nobles to join the Stronghold Resistance Army, both Offariel and Celt point out that this is a stupid move, which looks beautiful but is actually meaningless. And with such a stupid move before the war, it is hard not to wonder what more decisions the king will make once the battle really begins.

If it were an ordinary general, then I am afraid that with the trust of the royal family, he could only follow orders, no matter how ridiculous the order, as was the case with General Schett of Orrut. As a general, he is loyal to the entire royal family, so even if he knows that it is a dead end, he must try him with his old life.

But Celtic is different, he owes more allegiance to the kingdom as a whole than to the royal family or a specific person, so if His Majesty's orders are detrimental to the interests of the kingdom or pose a danger to the whole country, how will the old general choose?

Yuren didn't know if Celtic had been prepared before, but now, he had given the other party a choice. Yuren is well aware that this choice will not be effective anytime soon, but he believes that as long as it can be arranged properly, then one day, the seed he planted will bear fruit.

Celtic was moving quickly, and by the time Julien returned to their station, officers had already been waiting there, leading the men to a more comfortable and safe area of the fortress. The others began to pack up their belongings once more, and when Julien walked up to them, Charlotte and O'Faryl, who had been waiting by their side, walked over at the same time.

"The hosts. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

The two said in unison, then looked at each other in some surprise, and then O'Faryl took a half step back, and Charlotte spoke again.

"Master, what should we do with those guys?"

"Those guys?"

Hearing Charlotte's inquiry, Yulian raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the young nobles not far away, who were complaining at the same time, while packing up their equipment and saluting. It was clear that the guys hadn't recovered from their previous encounter with the one-eyed monster, and their expressions were still so excited.

"Leave it to Dororo to manage, and tell them that if they don't want to obey, get out of my ranks. ”

Dororo is the leader of the orc mercenary team, and he is also the commander of the mercenary force this time. Although he and Yulian are not very familiar with each other, the mercenary still has the attitude of taking money to do business. So Yulian simply sent those young nobles to him and handed them over to this orc to deal with, anyway, he didn't care about these unexpected visitors in the first place.

"Yes, master. ”

After receiving Yuren's order, Charlotte immediately turned away, and it was only then that Yuren turned his head and looked at Ofariel.

"What, you're looking for me?"

"This ...... My lord, I just wanted to ask what you talked about with General Celtic......"

Ofaril's face was a little unnatural at the moment, and she changed her calm and indifference when facing the old general, but showed a trace of hesitation.

"After all, we have just arrived at the fortress, and we don't know what General Celt thinks and positions us in, you ......"

"Nothing serious. ”

Yulian waved his hand and smiled.

"General Celtic welcomed us very much, and he invited me and my men to dinner. ”

At this, Yulian paused deliberately, and then he looked at Ofariel, whose face changed slightly, and repeated the last word with a smile.

"My men. ”

"My lord, I ........."

"Charlotte. ”

Just as Offariel was about to say something, Yulian suddenly turned his head and beckoned Charlotte to the side.

"Yes, master. ”

"Who are you?"

"Report to my master, I am your maid and captain of the Special Operations Combat Force of the Knights of the End. ”

"Judy, what about you?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

Judy straightened up and gave Yulian a military salute.

"I am the captain of your guard, and the leader of the First Battle Charge Squad under the Banner of Final Battle. ”

"Messiah, Seminia. ”

"Messiah, the commander of the Second Combat Unit of the Knights of the Holy Wings under the Banner of the Last Battle. ”

"Semiya, the leader of the Knights of the Dead of the Third Combat Unit of the Third Combat Unit under the Banner of the Last Battle. ”

"We're here, brother. ”

"We've been oh daddy. ”

"Good. ”

After listening to everyone's answers, Yuren turned his gaze back to Offariel, staring at her slightly complicated expression.

"What about you, Miss O'Faryl?"

"I ..............."

Ofaril took a long breath, she seemed to understand what Yuren meant, and then, helplessly, showed a wry smile.

"I am your lieutenant, my lord. ”

"Good. ”

Yulian patted her shoulder with satisfaction and smiled.

"Well, as my subordinate, you should be here too. ”

"Do I have any options?"

After making the decision, Ofaryl's mood did not seem to be as nervous as it was just now, on the contrary, she rolled her eyes at Yulian helplessly, then nodded and agreed. Then she turned and walked towards the crowd as they prepared to leave.

"Good. ”

Squinting his eyes, Yuren smiled as he looked at her back, then he waved his hand next to him, and soon, the crowd gathered.

"That's it, Charlotte, how are you doing over there?"

"Of course, there is no problem, and Miss Messiah Semiya and I certainly will not be stumped by such a trivial matter. Everything is as you ask ........."

Speaking of this, Charlotte also looked at O'Faryl in the distance with a sly smile.

"There was nothing wrong with that. ”

Originally, everyone didn't pack anything, so they quickly sorted it out, and then led by the soldiers of the fortress, they walked inside. And this time, these soldiers were obviously instructed from above, and in the eyes that looked at You Lian and the others, there was less contempt and more curiosity and respect. After all, many of them had heard about the patrol, and it was a little strange that those terrible monsters could be killed without much effort. Therefore, they also had a little more curiosity and questions about these nobles, plus there were many beautiful women in Yulian's team, and in a place like the fortress, female surnames have always been a scarce resource, and Charlotte and the others were very kind and polite, but they also affected many soldiers, and they didn't give them any face to see.

Celtic obviously valued Yulian very much, and under his arrangement, everyone's residence was no longer the dilapidated horse shop before, but changed to a large merchant Huayuan. Not only are the houses spacious and clean, but there is even a small martial arts training ground in the inner courtyard, which can be used for military training. And such things are rarely seen among the inland aristocracy, which shows the prosperity of martial arts on the border. The original owner of this place had already moved his family farther away because of the war, and now all the properties here belong to the fortress, so there will be no problem for Celtic to use it as a favor.

"Good. ”

Looking at the house in front of him, Yulian nodded with satisfaction. Then he reached out and pointed ahead, about to say something. Suddenly, the street next to it began to shake.

You Lian turned his head curiously, only to see that more than half of the black pressed people were walking towards this side, many of them were riding sturdy military horses, but the formation was a little scattered, and walking beside those horseback riders were obviously not the soldiers of the fortress, judging from the armor on their bodies, these people should obviously be private soldiers.

Again aristocrats.

You Lian raised his eyebrows, it seems that the summoning order still has some effect, he has come early, but now it seems that the other nobles are slowly catching up. However, I don't know who they are. After all, the convening power itself was unconvincing, except for those who came to join in the fun with their own purposes, and they were fellows like the young nobles in the team. But this kind of person obviously can't be the main force, so what are the other nobles here for, and what are they here for?

While Yuren was thinking about this, those people had already approached Yuren's team. After seeing the sparse number of people in Yuren's ranks, the aristocratic men on horseback and dressed in fine clothes smiled disdainfully, and when their eyes moved to the young and beautiful girls, the eyes of these fellows immediately shone brightly, and then they noticed the elegant Huayuan in front of them. Seeing this, the aristocratic man at the head suddenly turned pale, and then he pulled the reins hard and stopped.

As soon as he stopped suddenly, the people behind him were obviously a little caught off guard, and for a while people shouted horses, but it was extremely lively. The soldiers around them looked at them as if they were idiots, and each of them had disdainful contempt in their eyes.

"Who are they?, where do they come from?!"

The aristocratic man raised his horsewhip and pointed at You Lian and the others from a distance, and asked. Except for the young nobles, who looked at them in some surprise, the rest of the people did not hear his question at all. Charlotte and O'Faryl were still busy loading and unloading the wagon, while the twin sisters were still hiding not far from Yuren, giggling, whispering to each other, clapping their hands and playing games among children. Judy was directing the soldiers to move forward neatly, and didn't bother to pay attention to these guys. Noticing these reactions, the aristocratic man's face darkened even more.

And at this moment, a small officer beside him saw that things were not good, and hurriedly replied.

"Report to your lordship, these people seem to be from the Twilight Forest, they ........."

"Twilight Forest?"

Hearing this, the aristocratic man laughed coldly, and then waved his horsewhip and shook off the junior officer beside him. Then, he rode forward on horseback and went straight to Yulian and the others.

"Sir, may I ask you something?"

Watching the man's arrival, Yu Lian restrained the smile on his face and asked. And the aristocratic man sat on his horse, looked down at the young nobleman in front of him, and sneered.

"It's mine, you can get out. ”

Then, he spoke arrogantly.

"In the name of the Eagle Banner, the great House of Chenis, I command you to leave here at once with your men. Do you understand what I mean?"

"The Chenis family?"

In the face of the aristocratic man's words, Yu Lian's expression did not change in the slightest, on the contrary, he just thought for a moment, and then nodded very cheerfully.

"I think I see what you mean. ”

"Good. ”

Hearing Yulian's answer, the aristocratic man nodded in satisfaction and stopped talking. He had expected that the young nobleman would retreat immediately after hearing his family's name, but to his surprise, the black-haired young man nodded in answer with a "understood" and did not make any moves, as if he had not heard anything just now. It's still what to do, as if it doesn't exist at all. "Hey!" After waiting for a while, seeing that Yulian still did not issue an order for his subordinates to leave, the noble man's face immediately turned fierce. "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" Yuren shrugged his shoulders and replied. "We still have a lot of things to do, so we won't be with us, and I hope that you can get out of the way with your team a little bit and make some room for us, we will be grateful. "Is there something wrong with your ears?" This time, the aristocratic man's complexion really changed. "Didn't I just say, get out of here, it's ours now!!" Yuren shrugged his shoulders and replied. "I'm just saying I know what you mean, though, but I never said I'm going to do what you want. "What did you say?" Hearing this, the noble man gritted his teeth, and then he held the sword at his waist, and the fierce light in his eyes was bright.

And seeing this, the officer who helped lead the way was not pleasing to the eye. "Sir, whatever you are, this change of location is not something you want. I can tell you unequivocally that this is an order from the Celtic General, and you are not in a position to question the General's order, nor are you qualified to change it here. "Lord Celtic?" Hearing Celtic's name, the nobleman's face flashed with fear, but soon he returned to his original state. It's just a trivial matter like a station, Lord Celtic doesn't necessarily take it to heart, and his own family has a deep relationship with him, and it is impossible for Lord General to turn his face with himself for such a small local noble. "Lord Celtic, I have an account. Thinking of this, the aristocratic man had a plan, and then spoke. "Then let's talk about it after you're done, sir. At this time, Yu Lian, who was waiting on the side, spoke unhurriedly, and then, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. "We're busy, so we won't leave you alone, please. "You.........!" The aristocratic man looked at Yu Lian viciously, he subconsciously reached out and touched his waist, but after seeing the soldiers of the surrounding fortresses, he still gritted his teeth and endured. "Well, we'll see, hillbilly!" said the nobleman, who suddenly slapped his horsewhip and struck his mount hard. Stimulated by this, his horse suddenly lifted its body and raised its head high. And the two front hooves kept moving, and then swooped down. And at this moment, Yuren is standing in front of his mount, so if the horse's front hooves pounce downward, then Yuren is very likely to be hurt!

However, in the face of the oncoming attack, Yulian did nothing, he just reached out and gently stroked the hilt of his sword.

A chilling chill was faintly released from it, and at this moment, the horse seemed to sense something, it screamed again, and then its body turned abruptly, and then it actually lay directly on the ground, avoiding Yulian. "Woo!!" the aristocratic man had no expectation of such a startling change in his mount, and was thrown off his horse by surprise. Fortunately, it seems that he has also been trained for a long time, and he still subconsciously maintained his balance at the moment when the horse turned over, but the exquisite clothes were inevitably stained with dust and dirty. "My lord, how are you, my lord?" Seeing that something had happened to the nobleman, several people rushed to his side in a hurry, helping him up while patting the dust on his body for him. The man pushed these guys away angrily, then raised his head and looked at Yulian who was standing not far away, looking as indifferent as a lively face. "Did you do a good job?" "I didn't do anything. "Very well!" the aristocratic man snapped, and then he took off his white gloves. "Because you have insulted my reputation, I, as the second heir of the Chenis family, ask you to duel with me!!!!" he said, taking out the white glove in his hand and throwing it at Yuren.

However, the sky is unpredictable.

Just as the crumpled white gloves were thrown towards Youlian, a gust of wind blew suddenly, and the white gloves lost their direction, it suddenly deflected, and then hit the black-haired girl who was biting her ears and whispering to her sister with a "snap". "..............................", ".................................", and "......................................." Everyone present, whether it was Yuren, the soldiers of the fortress, or the nobles who called themselves Chenis, were all stunned by this sudden accident. You must know that the white-glove duel cannot be changed and avoided for the nobles, it is a matter of honor and face between the nobles. Not to mention, this aristocratic man has also spoken about life and death before, which shows that it will be a cruel battle to the death. But what's going on now? Everyone felt a little strange when they looked at the girl who was tilting her head in the same curiosity, looking at the white gloves on her body and not knowing what was going on. This girl is just a teenager, and although it is said that the party who is hit by the white gloves must participate in the duel, it is too ............... However, just because they were surprised doesn't mean that others will be equally surprised. "Dad, what's going on?" "Does anyone want to duel with their sister?"

"That's right. ”

Faced with the inquiries of the two sisters, You Lian was very "shameless" and stretched out his hand to the aristocratic man not far away.

"That gentleman thinks I've insulted his reputation, so I'm going to duel you. ”

"Dad, insulting his reputation?"

"Brother, someone wants to bully you?"

Hearing Yulian's words, the twin sisters, who had been smiling, changed their faces slightly, and then, Semya stood up and looked at the aristocratic man in front of her with a hint of hostility. And Messiah chuckled and grabbed her arm.

"So. ”

"Say it. ”

"Time. ”

"Location. ”

"Where?"

"When?"

"How to duel?"

"Life or death?"

Softly alternated questions, the two sisters who spoke, their eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous killing intent.

"Let you, then, feel death. ”

Then, they spoke in unison.
