"All ready to retreat, retreat!!"

The officer waved his hands vigorously as he quickly gave the order. You must know that although you are patrolling with these damned nobles, you are also afraid that it will be more difficult for these nobles to make a good deal inside the fortress, so you specially chose such a relatively safe patrol route, how can you still encounter these damn savage beasts? Damn it, what are the patrols on the periphery doing, how can they make such a big mistake?

But it was useless to complain now, so the officer immediately turned his head and looked at Yuren, who was standing not far from him.

"Sir, please retreat immediately with your men, we will find a way to delay these beasts as long as possible, please rush to the fortress immediately, just drive back to the inside of the fortress, then ........."

The officer's words were not finished, because at the same time the roar of the cyclops and the roar of the rolling stones had all stopped. This surprised him a little, according to his own experience, these damn beasts should have been roaring at him, what was going on?

Thinking of this, the officer couldn't help but raise his head and look down, and then, his eyes widened in surprise.

Not far below, the giants who were originally showing off their might had turned into corpses at this moment.

Or rather, about to turn into a corpse.

Their originally burly bodies were now paralyzed to the ground like a puddle of mud, the gaping mouths of blood had become distorted and hideous at the moment, and the original dark brown skin had also shown a hint of obvious turquoise, and under the gaze of the officer, these one-eyed monsters writhed their bodies, struggled, waved their limbs in despair, opened their mouths wide, and then swallowed their last breath under the gaze of everyone.

What's going on?

The soldiers of the patrol looked at each other, they had been busy dodging the Cyclops attack, and all their energy was focused on dodging the opponent's boulder attacks, but they finally found a place to hide in a few minutes, and the battle was already over? What was the end of this? What happened?

It wasn't just the soldiers of the patrol who were surprised, in fact, even the young nobles who were mixed in with Yuren's ranks. It's just that the reasons for the surprise between the two are completely different.

When attacked by the cyclops, the young nobles did not feel much panic and fear, on the contrary, they were even a little excited and excited. Unlike those soldiers, they are very aware of the abilities of Yulian and the others, although these cyclops look strange and have a burly body, but Yulian and the others have incomparably strong strength after all, so it is not difficult for them to destroy these monsters, in fact, these young nobles are extremely excited and wide-eyed, planning to enjoy the next battle.

What will the honorable lord do to destroy these one-eyed monsters? Will Miss Judy lead her female swordsmen in a charge? Or will the orc mercenaries use their strength to fight these monsters, or will the little sisters come on and sweep these monsters away?

While the young nobles were waiting with great interest to watch the battle that followed, they saw that Yuren just casually glanced at the monsters not far below, and then stretched out his finger to test the direction of the downwind—and snapped his fingers slightly.

"Charlotte. ”

Then, the young nobles stared blankly at the maid who had been quietly following Yuren, took out a few glass vials from her bosom, and threw them into the area where the one-eyed monsters were.

The vials were too small for the one-eyed monsters to notice, but when they fell to the ground and shattered, they emitted puffs of cyan smoke, which seemed to be a little weird to ordinary people, but the one-eyed monsters immediately changed after inhaling these strange smokes.

Their brave steps stopped, their powerful arms slowly drooped, and the turquoise spread over their bodies like a plague, while the one-eyed monsters opened their mouths wide and gasped desperately, like fish on the shore. Then these strong, brave, and terrible enemies fell to the ground, and in desperation they reached out, grabbed their necks, and fell into the abyss of death in their last struggle.

This scene made those young nobles feel a chill from the depths of their hearts, they had not fought Charlotte, but in the eyes of these young people, this maid lady's methods of warfare were really a bit "evil", she never fought with others head-on, nor did she rely on her own strength to achieve victory, such a method was obviously a bit unacceptable. After all, in the eyes of many people, war should be a dignified and upright and upright war between the enemy and us, and what kind of poisoning, drugged, assassination and kidnapping and other indiscriminate methods are not valued, but even more despised. Moreover, although Charlotte also gave them a lot of damage at the beginning, it was not fatal, so compared to the more intuitive and irresistible forces of Judy, the twin sisters and the orc mercenaries, it was always a little less deterrent.

But now, after seeing these one-eyed monsters inhaling poisonous smoke with their own eyes, these young nobles seem to have truly perceived Charlotte's terrifying strength for the first time, looking at those terrible monsters with burly figures, even the regular soldiers of the fortress talk about tiger color, they were actually tossed by those vials and worse than death, watching them tear their throats with their hands in pain, tearing off pieces of flesh and blood, and even their eyes bulging from their sockets, desperately struggling to swallow the last breath of the tragic appearance, everyone's heart is a chill。 They naturally thought about what would happen if the other party was replaced by a human.

Again, the answer is unquestionable.

Thinking of this, these young nobles couldn't help but quietly keep a distance from this maid lady, as if there was some poison around her, and she would die if she touched it.

As for the soldiers of the patrol, although they didn't see how these monsters fell, they also knew that something was wrong, according to past experience, these one-eyed monsters had never had such a problem, and most of them had something to do with these nobles today, just looking at the corpses of these monsters in front of them, the soldiers of the patrol didn't know what was going on.

However, the work that needs to be done still has to be done.

"Under enemy attack?"

Celt withdrew his gaze from the report in front of him and looked at the adjutant at the door.

"Is it the troops of the Sith Empire?"

"No, my lord, judging by the situation, it's the monsters again. Reinforcements have already been dispatched, and hopefully this time the damn monsters will be able to settle down a bit. ”

"I see. ”

Hearing the other party's answer, Celtic nodded, although the recent attacks of these one-eyed tribes were also a headache, but what he was most worried about was the military operations of the Sith Empire. Although there has been no major movement in the Sith Empire recently, it has been revealed through intelligence that they are secretly making transfers. Although he didn't know the specific situation, but because of this, Celtic couldn't leave the fortress, so although these one-eyed monsters were very annoying, he also had to hold back and save his most elite strength, but, in this way, it would inevitably suffer those patrol soldiers.

Thinking of this, Celt couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then he suddenly asked.

"Which patrol is sending the call for help?"

"It's Patrol Twenty-Five. ”

His lieutenant was visibly surprised to hear Celtic's inquiry, but he quickly answered. Celtic, on the other hand, frowned when he heard the report.

That's an internal patrol, and these damn beasts can already get through the perimeter? That's not a good thing. But wait, why the inner patrols, what did the soldiers on the periphery do, why didn't they give a signal, or..."Who is in charge of Patrol Twenty-Five?"

"It's Kelly who is in charge of the route and timing of his patrols...... Oh, and he's got a bunch of nobles on patrol today?"

Aristocrat?

Celt raised an eyebrow. "What nobles? Why didn't I get a report?" "It's a group of petty nobles from a remote place, and according to the report, they are supposed to be from the Twilight Forest. Speaking of this, the adjutant seemed to think of something, and then added. "Oh, by the way, they say, you personally invited them, Lord Celtic. When he said this, the adjutant was still a little gloating in his heart. You must know that even if they are soldiers, they have a three-five-nine understanding of the class among the nobles, and a small nobleman who does not even have a formal title and is even a local lord is just a guy who is slightly higher than the commoner in their opinion. It is not at all comparable to those formal nobles, let alone the big nobles. Besides, he is not an ordinary soldier, this is a red fortress, and he is an elite unit of one of the three major legions, and it is the commander of the legion who has the final say here! It is useless for the king of heaven to come, besides, even if those marquis, earls or something, they don't even dare to fart when they see their own legion. And such a low-status little nobleman, who dared to say that the commander of the army personally invited him, really never saw a hillbilly who only knew bragging, and when Lord Celtic found out about it, it would be strange if he didn't kick them out!

But before he could say that, he saw his chief's face change slightly. "Why didn't !?you inform me sooner from the Twilight Forest?" "I'm sorry, my lord, he, they only arrived at noon yesterday......" "Then why didn't you report it immediately?!" "This ...... Because you're busy with an important meeting, and you're just a minor nobleman...... "Forget it." Celt waved his hand to stop the adjutant from arguing, he also knew that he was a little anxious, and this was not strictly his own men's fault, but his own negligence. If we had given them a wake-up call, there might not have been such a thing. However, he was not to blame his subordinates for this, so Celtic did not say anything more, but quickly stood up. "Where they are now, take me there immediately. Seeing the serious expression of the Legion Commander, the adjutant also knew that something might be wrong, so he immediately took Celtic out of the fortress castle and went to the area where Yulian and the others were currently living. And after seeing the courtyard in front of him, Celt couldn't help frowning.

Perhaps to tease the nobles, or to be a little dissatisfied with Yuren's claims, the dwelling arranged by these soldiers was the most remote and narrow corner of the fortress city, which had been a horse mill and was now converted into a temporary resting place, although it was not impossible to live, but the conditions were much worse.

"It's ......"

Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Celt frowned, he didn't think that the young lord would be angry because of this little thing, but after all, he personally invited the person, and he ended up sending it to this ghost place, and his face was unreasonable. But then he shook his head, said nothing, and pushed open the door and walked in.

And just as he walked into the courtyard, Celtic heard a crisp, pleasant voice. The voice was like a thunderbolt, completely shocking him in place. At that moment, the old general even wondered if his ears were deaf, or if he had just seen some kind of delusion that should not exist at all.

But no matter how much he tried to negate, everything that the eyes and ears, the senses conveyed to him, did not change in the slightest.

"As for today's training, I will convey it to Yuren when he returns, and I think it will be the same as a few days ago, no different. As for the main details of the training, it is still Miss Judy who is in charge, and I don't think the fortress will let us train with them...... So, all you have to do now is business as usual, and nothing will change for the time being. ”

In front of Celtic's eyes, a slender, beautiful maiden was standing in the courtyard, telling others something. The delicate, elegant and beautiful face exudes a moving charm, the white smooth skin and the long violet hair complement each other, which is dizzying, and the blue, crystal-like dazzling eyes reveal the same firmness and confidence as ever. This scene used to be so familiar to Celtic, once upon a time, he also stood in the crowd, listened to her, looked at her, and looked at Her Royal Highness the princess. It was not just because of her beautiful face and pleasant voice, but because of a kind of power, a mysterious charm that could condense everyone's heart.

It used to be the brightest flower of the royal family, and it used to be the light of hope that the whole country pinned.

"Her Royal Highness Princess O'Fariel!!"

When Celtic came to his senses, he was already half-kneeling in front of the girl, raising his head and staring at the girl in front of him.

In fact, this is also Ofariel's bad luck, this patrol, Yulian did not let everyone go out, but left people in batches, and he himself took Judy, Charlotte and the twin sisters out together, just as a walk. Ofaril, on the other hand, had little experience in field warfare, so he was left behind by Yulian to familiarize himself with the internal affairs of the fortress, as well as to organize and dispatch the remaining troops. That's why O'Faryl is here to explain the rest of the itinerary to the rest of the people.

When she saw Celt rushing to her knees beside her, O'Faryl was also shocked, and in an instant, her face turned unusually pale, but in the blink of an eye, O'Faryl regained her composure, and then quickly took a step back, avoiding the other party's etiquette.

"You've mistaken someone, Shogun. ”

"Your Highness the Princess?"

Hearing Offariel's answer without any emotion, Celt opened his eyes wide in surprise and raised his head to look at the girl in front of him. How is this possible? How is this possible? Is it really not the flower of the royal family in front of you? It's just an elephant? No! This is impossible! If the appearance can be the same, then what about the inside? The tone of her speech just now is exactly the same as that of the royal princess, confident, gentle, polite but persistent, this is not something that anyone can learn! Moreover, how to explain the clothes on her body? Celtic knew very well that O'Faryl's dress was the advice she had given her when she was in the palace and tried to find out what public opinion was. Because the status of a wandering scholar is very important and influential, ordinary people do not dare to act without permission. And if you are in danger, you can also seek help from the army. And since then, Her Royal Highness the princess has been doing this!!

For a moment, Celtic felt as if time had gone back to thirty years ago, but now, after all, everything had changed.

"Please get up, General. ”

Just as Celtic was lost, O'Faryl coughed lightly, which brought the old general back to his senses, and he hurriedly stood up, looked at the girl in front of him, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

However, compared with Celtic, Offariel was much calmer, she lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, and solemnly gave Celt a ladylike salute, and then straightened up and spoke.

"First meeting, Honorable General, I am Lord of the Twilight Forest, Adjutant of Lord Julien Felix, and his fiancée......" Ofariel paused for a moment, a blush of shame flashing across his face before continuing. "Ofaril Felix, I didn't expect you to come to visit in the middle of your busy schedule, please forgive me. ”

Hearing this, Celtic's face froze, and of course he heard the meaning of Offariel's words.
