After winning the first battle, Kathbero got rid of his cousin Louyle and ran to the Iron Princess in a hurry to show off, thanking her for the Sun Sword as a gift. As soon as he arrived at the camp, he found that the Iron Princess and her party seemed to be isolated, and everyone else had gathered around the long table to eat, and they sat outside the tent looking at the sky, and it seemed that there was still one person missing.

Princess Fuhu was too lazy to sit here, relying on her skills to sneak away, not knowing where to run.

Under the influence of the Second Horseman's Eye of the Sheep, anyone who sees his strange eyes will all take a detour away, and Cathbello is no exception. When he first approached, he said that when he saw the pupils in the eyes of the second knight, he suddenly felt a hairy desire to escape.

When the Iron Princess saw her sweetheart coming, she hurriedly pushed the second knight and asked him to put away his abilities. Only then did Cathelo wipe his sweat and look into the eyes of the second knight again, no different from ordinary people.

Am I mistaken? It doesn't matter.

Cathbello leaned over to say something when his cousin Louyle appeared behind him like a ghost. She was still wearing the same dirty clothes.

"Didn't you go to change your clothes?" asked Kasbello, dissatisfied.

Louyle shook his swollen wrist and said, "Those big-headed soldiers of the sower won't let me out, saying that it was grandpa's order." ”

When the Iron Princess saw Cathelo talking to a beautiful girl, she immediately turned her mind crooked.

A woman's temper is almost the same when she is in love, and the Iron Princess bursts out with a fierce momentum to express her dissatisfaction.

Louyle didn't let a 'village girl' misunderstand her identity, which would make her feel disgusted, so she decisively revealed the identity of the two relatives.

Kathelo didn't care about that, and his cousin's remark that the sower didn't allow anyone to go out made him even more curious.

"You mean the sowers won't even allow you to go out to the castle to change your clothes?

Louyle got angry when he thought of this, "Of course the subordinates are not allowed to go out, can it be said that I, a duchess and a young lady, have not been subordinate to the people?"

"Why don't you let it out?" puzzled Cathbello.

Louyle shrugged. "Maybe it's for secrecy, you know. ”

The matter of the lantern area is far from being decided by his lantern family, and almost everyone involved in planning this competition has been invited. Louyle thought that maybe his grandfather was too nervous, so he did this, to prevent an adult from accidentally leaking out of his mouth and being heard by the servant.

"Uh, got it......" Kasbello agreed. "But the clothes you wore were a little too unseemly in front of people, didn't you bring spare clothes?"

Louyle shook his head.

Although the brother and sister are not in harmony, they can still be consistent with the outside world when it comes to the issue of their own face. The lady of the lantern man wears dirty clothes in public, which is obviously a joke.

"Then go and talk to Grandpa. Cathbello helped with the move, after all, he kicked the person to the point of falling.

"Well, I'll go to the Duke like a farm girl. I don't know if that adult will summon me. ”

Louyle left with some self-defeat, glaring at the Iron Princess. When the princess heard that this was probably her future sister-in-law, her attitude was much better, so she only scolded the bitch in her heart, and she was still smiling on the surface.

The Duke of Lantern was now in a small single tent next to the big tent. There are many of these small tents nearby, so it is convenient for the old man to be alone. However, there were three people crowded into this small tent at this time, and in addition to the Duke of Lantern, there was also a pair of middle-aged people, who were the organizers of this competition, the Duke and Duchess of Lloyd.

On the small square table in the tent was a well-sealed letter, which had been taken out by the Lloyds. The letter was not written by them, but they simply forwarded it and urged the Duke of Lantern to read it in its entirety, and to deal with some things according to the reply.

The Duke of Lantern's eyes were a little glazed, and he was quite dissatisfied with the Lloyds who suddenly appeared and threw a letter in front of him. But he read it anyway.

From the coat of arms on the envelope paint, it can be seen that the person who sent the letter is the big boss behind the scenes who supported his lantern area to secede from the White Moon Kingdom. When this plan was first proposed. It was thirty years ago that the Duke of Lantern had just taken over the family business, and at that time he was very ambitious and thought a lot, and after being persuaded by many people, he agreed to this plan.

In the ensuing rìzi, the country of the white moon and the country of the forest experienced several major battles, winning and losing each other. The Duke of Lantern could also see some shadows of the big boss in it, and admired his ability to intervene in state affairs. Confidence in the success of the lantern area has also increased.

The Duke of Lantern spent the rest of his life busy on this matter, constantly exercising benevolent government in his own territory to establish prestige, constantly attracting favors to the surrounding cities, and finally binding the three cities of light, wicks, and moths into his own power. In the last two years, he has felt that his health has deteriorated, and he feels more and more tired in the day. I can't stay up late to work anymore, and I even feel strained to climb the stairs after sitting for a long time.

He became more and more worried that he would not be able to witness what he had been asking for all his life, but fortunately, the new war between the White Moon Country and the Forest Country started as promised, and finally dragged the two countries into the quagmire the following year.

Now the country of Mori, which is weaker but more powerful, urgently needs to fight a good battle, as a capital to hint that the White Moon Country proposed peace talks to end the war, and by the way, to get some benefits and give an account to the people. The White Moon Country, on the other hand, knows less about the Forest Country, is afraid of this endless war, and also wants to end it.

At this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as the Lantern region is announced, the country of Mori will be able to take the defeated city in an instant, complete its war expectations, and pull up the banner of negotiation. The White Moon Country's side has no choice but to accept it, and Lantern City, which is an ally of the Forest Country and a city-state of Zìyóu, will temporarily become a barrier between the two countries to cultivate and develop.

Forest Country does not want land without forests will not covet Lantern City, on the other hand, as long as the barrier of Lantern City is attacked by the White Moon Country, they will inevitably be reinforced. Lantern City blocked the trade between the White Moon Kingdom and the Forest Country, and benefited from it, and was able to receive military assistance. As long as Lantern City is given some time, it is more than capable of evolving into the Lantern Empire.

The Duke of Lantern read the letter, and could not believe that it was true. In the letter, the big boss made himself completely dismiss the idea of dúlì in the Lantern area, and canceled all aid to the Lantern City.

How can this be, in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you want me to bury half of my life's hard work!

The Lloyds had already heard from the person who wrote the letter, and the Duke of the Lantern reacted to what they expected.

"Lady Lantern, the person who wrote this letter would like you to give me an answer in person. ”

"Give you an answer?" the Duke of Lantern smiled, "and who will give me another answer?"

What I have asked for in the past thirty years can be easily cut off by this small letter!

Archduke Lloyd also felt sad for his old friend, if this kind of thing was to be born on his head, he was afraid that he would have to give this breath even if he fought to destroy the clan. Even if you can't bite someone, you have to bite off a few fingers of him.

The temper of the Duke of Lantern was similar to that of Lloyd, which was well known in the aristocratic circles, so before sending this letter, Lloyd and the person who wrote the letter were ready to prevent the Lantern family from jumping off the wall in a hurry.

Duke Lantern forced himself to calm down, and he thought of this as well. Why did the big boss write a letter to himself at this time to inform himself of this, and if Lloyd already knew about it, why did he hold this tournament abruptly?

The dúlì in the lantern area is not the business of the lantern family, and the other five families have also paid a lot of hard work and cost. Could it be that they all know and agree with the meaning of the big boss?

If so...... The Duke of Lantern was a little afraid to think about it, if this was the case, did it mean that the five of them had formed a union and wanted to eliminate the Lantern Keeper from it?

The Duke of Lantern couldn't help but think of the corps stationed around Lantern City, two-thirds of which were controlled by the five forces.

When White Moon City got the news and began to send troops to the Lantern area to deter, the other five great nobles were very decisive and said that they would send troops to increase their troops. At that time, the Duke of Lantern felt a little bad when he saw the positive appearance of these people, but at that time he thought that these people wanted to eat their military rations for a few months and then ask for some money. Now that I think about it, what they want is probably their own lives.

In addition, there are a total of two hundred and fifty warriors present in these five clans in this arena, and there may be masters hidden among the servants and subordinates. If there is a what...... The Duke of Lantern had no choice, he could only accept the contents of the letter honestly, otherwise he would be immediately given by the other party to 'prevent trouble'.

The Duke of Lantern was old, and this kind of topic made his heart a little uncomfortable. The Duke and Duchess of Lloyd were very sympathetic to the old companion and silently exited the tent. They definitely gave the old duke a time to think about it, and if the old man had the misfortune of choosing the wrong answer, then all the worst conjectures he had just made would come true.

Shortly after the Lloyds went out, Louyle ran to find his grandfather.

The Duke of Lantern had no choice in replying to the letter, and he was now shutting himself in the tent just to adjust his feelings, and by the way, he was thinking about how to explain the matter to his juniors. Seeing his granddaughter, whom he had always loved, come to him, the old duke suddenly thought about a lot of things.

In his thirty years of planning, many people were not optimistic about the lantern area and spoke out to dissuade him, and the Duke of Lantern also hesitated, wondering whether to use the happiness of his juniors as a bargaining chip to realize his ambitions. They could have lived their lives in peace and enjoy the comforts of a nobleman, but if the lantern area was really dúlì, then they and the children and grandchildren of the lantern family would have to endure the trials and tribulations of war for a long time, and they would be stigmatized by the world.

Louyle's appearance made the old duke think of a question, is he really willing to send such a lovely granddaughter to the battlefield? For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
