In the following days, the city of the Heroic Spirit also began a wave of martial arts practice because of the order issued by Yulian. Although in Judy's opinion, it is not easy to choose five hundred soldiers. But she didn't expect that Yulian's order had just been issued, and many of the refugees came to sign up, and even those who already had jobs wanted to apply. It is no wonder that these refugees have been displaced by the scourge of war, and no one knows better than them that strength is the only guarantee of their survival, and that when they do not have it, they can only be slaughtered by others. But now, with an opportunity to gain strength, these refugees will not miss it.

Of course, Yuren didn't want Valhalla to shut down again, so in the end, after consulting with Judy, only two hundred young and strong men were recruited as reserves, and Judy taught them combat skills. At the same time, Yuren also posted announcements in three towns outside the Twilight Forest, recruiting experienced and powerful adventurers and mercenaries to join his army.

And the Twilight Forest made such a fuss, but the Bird family and the Zack family were a little surprised, they didn't know that the current situation was tense, but which one the Twilight Forest was singing at the moment, the patriarchs of the two families really couldn't figure it out. You said that you should prepare for the war in the future, but Yuren recruited no more than a thousand members. What kind of combat effectiveness could such a force have? But if it is only to strengthen the military power of the Twilight Forest, it seems that there is no rush to do this now. Moreover, now that rumors are flying all over the kingdom, whether the Sith Empire will go to war with the West Kingdom or not, it is really redundant to recruit troops in such a hurry.

In the eyes of the other nobles, Yuren's move was very much in line with his "hillbilly lord" spirit, and in their minds, the young lord was afraid that he would hear that he was going to fight, so he immediately couldn't sit still and began to recruit soldiers. Young people are young people, no matter how strong their strength is, they can't hold their breath, the so-called aristocracy, but if Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his color remains unchanged, just because of such rumors, if it becomes like this, what kind of atmosphere can it become.

For those nobles who did not know Yuren, it was not surprising to make such a judgment. But for Zach and Juventus, two nobles who had been in contact with Julien face-to-face, the current state of affairs in Twilight Forest was clearly unusual. Since they have the best relationship with the Twilight Forest, and because of this, they all learned of the anomalous changes in the Twilight Forest for the first time, including the appearance of a city out of thin air, and such information has already reached their hands. In their opinion, it was obvious that the lord was not in a hurry, and he would choose to make such a judgment at this time, then there must be a reason for him!

So, the two families sent messengers to the Twilight Forest. First, they wanted to ask if Yuren needed their help. Juventus is subtle, after all, he is only a cronie of the old patriarch, not the heir of the Bird family. Keller, on the other hand, doesn't have to care so much, during this time, he has cleared the obstacles of the Zach family, and at the same time established himself as the head of the family in one fell swoop. Therefore, he was very enthusiastic in this regard, and even said that if Yulian needed soldiers, he was willing to send 3,000 soldiers from his own territory and let Yulian send them.

Of course, in the face of the representatives of these two nobles, Yu Lian didn't say much, just smiled and politely declined their request. After all, the total population of Valhalla City is only a thousand at the moment. If there are two thousand soldiers, then it will be troublesome. Not to mention that these were the family's private soldiers after all, and Yulian didn't expect them to swear allegiance to him.

Of course, neither of them paid too much attention to Yulian's reaction, but in fact, they were most concerned about the second thing.

That is, is the war really about to start!

At this moment, in the Kingdom of West, in the face of the threat of the Sith, it has been divided into two factions, one faction believes that the Sith Empire likes to invade, and West is a neighbor and ally of Orlut, and now the Sith is determined to attack West, and must be prepared in advance. The other faction believes that the Sith Empire will not attack West, after all, West and the Sith are far from resentment and no enmity, and if it is so blatantly aggressive, then it will completely turn itself into an enemy of the entire continent. With the wisdom of the Sith Empire, it should be impossible not to figure this out. Even if they had four Knights of Damnation, two fists were no match for four hands, and it was impossible for the Sith Empire not to understand this truth.

Although theoretically, the former is more credible. But in fact, most people are willing to choose to believe the latter. It's no wonder, after all, people like good news and don't like crow's mouths. Moreover, right now in the royal capital, there is also faint news that the Sith Empire may ally with West, although this rumor is unconfirmed, but since it is from the royal capital, it can also be said to have a certain credible surname. It is precisely because of this that the nobles in the West country are also taking a wait-and-see at the moment, and they are also hesitant - prepare for war, this cost is very large, in case it can't be fought, then their losses will be great. But if they don't prepare for war, it won't do them any good if the Sith Empire really goes to war.

And now, the representatives of the two families asked Yu Lian about this at the same time. They don't believe in rumors too much, but they have trust in Yuren. After all, as a high-level swordsman, Yulian's identity has always been a mystery, and for the people of the Zack family and the Bird family, such a person must not be the descendants of ordinary families, plus after the Midsummer Festival, the appearance of the Messia and Semiya sisters also made them have more speculations about Yuren's background.

There are very few families that can have three high-level swordsmen, and two of the girls are only in their teens, and even they are only in their twenties, so they can show such strength at such an age, so it is equivalent to saying that this family will definitely have three talented knights in the future, what kind of family can have such power?

In addition, Ofariel, who followed Yulian and appeared as his fiancée, is even more unpredictable. An excellent female surname with purebred royal blood would actually be the fiancée of such a young man, and at this moment, in the minds of the representatives of the two families, they have already sketched a strange picture without authorization. In their opinion, it is clear that Yuren has extremely strong power behind him, and they must also be inextricably linked to the royal family. Although neither family found out anything in this regard, the more they couldn't find out, the more frightened they became. The Zack family and the Bird family are both powerful nobles, and their intelligence networks can't find out, what does this mean? This shows that the other party has far more energy than them!

It was precisely because of this speculation that the two great families would send people to ask Yuren about the war against the Sith Empire. After all, judging by the young lord's current performance, he knew very well that war was bound to break out. If the family behind him is really so powerful, then, it is very likely that this is not a rumor, but a fact!

Regarding the inquiries of the two families, this time You Lian did not hide it, and he clearly told the representatives of the two families that war would indeed break out, and it was better to prepare as soon as possible.

After receiving Yuren's exact answer, the two families did not say anything more, and they quickly began to gather their minds while preparing for war with peace of mind. Although these families themselves are well aware that if they want to resist the four gifted knights, they may have almost zero surnames when evaluating their family strength. But now it's a war after all, rabbits will bite people when they're in a hurry, and they're afraid that in the face of a certain death, they always have to work hard, right?

But now, Yulian found that he had an even bigger headache to face - frankly, he had never felt it was a headache before, but now, Yuren had to admit that his head was already hurting a little.

There is only one reason, Her Royal Highness the princess of Orrut has woken up.

Upon returning to the Twilight Forest, Julien arranged for the hapless princess to be placed in the guest room, and then had Messiah wake her up and leave it in the care of Offariel. But he didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the princess would ask him by name.

"Are you sure she wants to see me?"

Looking at the unusually sunny Ofariel smiling in front of her, Yulian really wondered if she had come from the communiqué's personal vendetta.

"I'm sure, my lord. ”

In the face of Yuren's inquiry, Ofariel closed his eyes proudly, with an unfathomable look of "Heaven is evil, you can still live, you can do it yourself, you can't live".

“............... Well, Miss O'Faryl, you don't mind if I ask what you and she have to say. ”

"Of course, as you commanded, I have explained to her where we came from. Of course, I won't say much about the specifics, after all, you planned it, and maybe you know better than I do. ”

“.....................”

Looking at those eyes with a hint of playfulness, Yulian shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Miss O'Faryl, I don't think a professional like you would choose to have a personal vendetta, would you?"

"Of course, my lord, this is nothing more than your duty......... Don't forget, you're going to have to face her someday. ”

"Okay. ”

Hearing this, Yulian also had to admit that Ofaryl's statement had her point, but he thought carefully for a moment, and finally asked for safety.

"By the way, what kind of person is our princess?"

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

Hearing Yuren's question, Ofariel held out a finger against his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and replied with a mysterious, elusive smile.

"She is a young lady who fits everyone's imagination as a 'princess', and there is only so much I can say. ”

“........................”

Yulian frowned, I don't know why, he had a very bad premonition. However, Ofariel had already saluted him at this moment, and then made a gesture of please. So You Lian had no choice but to look at the guest room door in front of him helplessly, and after hesitating for a moment, he knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed it open casually.

On the chair in the room, Princess Olut, who had been dressed up, was sitting quietly at the moment, her eyes were mixed with a little sadness and unease, and she looked out the window at the twilight forest with a complicated gaze. Hearing a knock on the door, she hurriedly turned her head, and when she saw Yulian walking in, the woman slowly stood up from her chair and looked at the young man in front of her.

"I heard you want to see me, miss?"

"Yes, first meeting, hello, dear sir. ”

In the face of You Lian's words, the woman responded unhurriedly, she put her hands in front of her, slowly bent down, and bowed to You Lian, and then raised her head.

"I am Fili Orrut, the first princess of the kingdom of Orlut, thank you for saving my life in times of crisis, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you........."

"No need to be polite, Your Highness Princess Fili. ”

With an elegant smile on his face, Yu Lian immediately replied with aristocratic etiquette. But at this moment, his heart was secretly complaining, and at the moment when Her Royal Highness Princess Fili spoke, Yulian had almost guessed what O'Faryl's so-called "in line with everyone's imagination of the definition of 'princess'" meant.

That's definitely not a compliment.

"As allies, we certainly have an obligation to protect the safety of members of your royal family..............."

Saying this, Yulian carefully observed the woman in front of him, but did not see her continue to ask questions along with her words. She should know that the West royal family wanted to kill her, so now, as a nobleman of the West Kingdom, she saved her, doesn't this princess have any doubts?

“......... This, Her Royal Highness Princess Fili...... Is there anything you'd like to ask me?"

"Of course, dear sir. ”

As she spoke, Fili nodded, her face lowered, her uneasy gaze at the floor in front of her, and then asked.

"Excuse me, my brother, and General Shet, they ..............."

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness Princess, when I arrived, you were the only lucky one who survived, and as for the others, I'm sorry........."

"That's right..............."

Hearing this, the woman in front of her had red eyes and sobbed softly. Yulian stayed where he was, frowning slightly. A certain sense of helplessness in his heart seemed to spread. But now, he had to hold back his inner feelings, and continued to speak.

"Please mourn, Your Royal Highness Princess Fili, people cannot be resurrected after death, please live well, it is the best comfort for the deceased. ”

"Thank you for your comfort, dear sir........." Hearing this, Fili wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she stood up, her face slightly red, obviously feeling a little ashamed of her gaffe just now. "I haven't asked you yet, your name, and what exactly is ............... here?"

"This is the territory of the Kingdom of West, the Twilight Forest, I am the lord here, Yuren Felix, just call me Yuren. ”

"Mr. Yuren..............."

After hearing Yulian's introduction, Princess Fili whispered the name, and then, she hesitated before speaking.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yuren, I ............... now"

"I suppose you must be a little confused about your current situation, Your Highness Princess Fili. ”

Yulian spread his hands and smiled.

"I'm sorry I'm going to lock you up in this room, but rest assured, I didn't mean to harm you, your beautiful princess. I need to tell you that at the moment, the outside world is very dangerous for you. There are many people and forces who are trying to take your life, and for the safety of your life, I have to make this decision, and I hope you can forgive me. ”

"Understand, whatever......... I'm not angry at all............ Dear Mr. Yuren, ”

Hearing this, Princess Fili seemed to be startled, she hurriedly stood up, waved her hand and replied in a panic.

"Actually, I don't have any inconveniences here, and I'm not going to complain about anything to you. I want to see you just because I want to thank you........."

"It is a great honour for me to receive the appreciation of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

You Lian bowed slightly and replied. He was completely helpless, and he hinted at so much, but Her Royal Highness the princess didn't seem to notice anything, and she didn't mean to ask at all. Then he can't just explain it to the other party............ What's going on here?

"So............ Allow me to retire first. ”

"Okay, honorable lord, please take care of yourself. ”

After a few brief conversations, Julien saluted again and walked out of the room. He closed the door and stared blankly at the hallway in front of him, but there was no other expression on his face at all.

That's it?

That's it?

She saw herself just to say thank you?

Wouldn't she, as a princess who had been attacked, have no doubts about this? Or should she ask who had attacked her, why the Kingdom of West had done this, and why she had to save her! What was the matter with this princess? Did she not care about any of this? Or did she have some other thoughts?

"It's a real headache.........

Julien pressed his forehead and let out a long sigh, and now, he finally understood what O'Faryl meant.

"It seems that your lordship, you have already appreciated the charm of that 'princess'?"

And at this moment, O'Faryl's playful voice appeared in Yuren's ears again.

"I really understand, this is indeed a princess........."

You Lian let out a long sigh and began to reflect on whether he had taken it for granted. But then he shook his head, throwing the boring thoughts behind him.

"But there's no point in regretting it now, and it won't bring any good repercussions............"

As he spoke, Yuren looked at Ofariel, who was standing next to him and had not left.

"Well, then, Miss O'Faryl, you are standing here and not leaving, not just to see my jokes. ”

"Of course, my lord. ”

Offariel coughed lightly and put away the smile on her face.

"In fact, the first mercenaries we have recruited have already arrived. ”

Then, she spoke.
