In the evening, in the upper study of the Imperial Palace, His Majesty Pierre VI was talking to a woman in her thirties and extremely beautiful.

Pierre VI said: "Natara, you and my brother have been separated for ten years? Alas, to be honest, I still miss him all these years. Originally, brothers were like siblings, and when he and I were young, we had a really good relationship. I just didn't expect to grow up...... Alas!"

"Your Majesty, my husband has rebelled and committed a heinous crime. I, as his wife, have nothing to say. It's just that so much time has passed, and Your Majesty has brought me here, do you have any orders?"

"Natara, as you know, our country is in danger right now. I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that there was no need to teach your husband anything anymore. I want you to meet him once and tell him about the current situation in the country. And convey my intentions, the grievances between me and his brother have been written off, and I ask him to come back and fight the enemy with me for the sake of the motherland!"

"Your Majesty, really...... Can I write it off? My husband ...... Have you ever been murdered? Are you really ignorant of teaching?"

"Alas, it doesn't matter if you plan to teach or not. What matters is how we survive now. There is an old saying that brothers are of the same heart, and I really need him to come back and help me. Natara, over the years, I have never felt sorry for your mother and son. I also take care of the relatives of his subordinates. He is sorry for me, but I am finally worthy of him! There is no unquenchable hatred between me and him. This country, and his homeland. As long as he is willing to come back, I can guarantee that everything will be the same as before!"

"Your Majesty, you are a benevolent monarch, everyone knows this!"

"In that case, Natara, will you help me persuade your husband?"

"Of course, Your Majesty! I have ...... It's been a long, long time since I've seen him!"

At the same time, at the Yanjing Front Headquarters, Keya reported to General Buck. General Buck was delighted and spoke highly of Koya's performance in the Battle of Sorad.

Moreover, General Buck also told Keya the reason why he was looking for Keya. It turns out that ten years ago, the current emperor, His Majesty Pierre VI, had a younger brother, Prince Carlos, who was extremely ambitious. secretly conspired with some generals and ministers to kill the emperor's own brother, so that he could plot to usurp the throne. It was only because someone whistleblower that he was suppressed by His Majesty Pierre VI before he had time to do it. Prince Carlos, under the protection of several cronies, escaped from Yanjing alone, and immediately united with the commanders of the three southern provinces who had colluded with him to raise troops and openly rebel. At that time, General Buck was only a young general, and although he had already made a name for himself on the mainland, he was not a great general who controlled the [***] team of the whole emperor. Pierre VI saw the hero and immediately asked Buck to lead the entire [***] team to quell the rebellion. Buck also showed excellent military command skills, and after several battles, the rebels were defeated, and they had to flee into the wild mountains between the Heint Empire and the Roverdo Empire. Originally, General Buck was going to take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the rebels. It's just that at this time, the Kingdom of Tandax took advantage of the civil strife in the Pangsin Empire and openly raised troops to invade. The First Great Patriotic War broke out! General Buck had no choice but to spare the rebels and throw himself into the Great Patriotic War instead. This rebel army survived. They went deep into the unguarded wilderness of the mountains, killed all the natives in the mountains, seized their territory, plundered their resources, and lived there as if they were kings. They also did not dare to come out for fear of being hunted down by the Empire. After the victory in the Great Patriotic War, His Majesty Pierre VI let them not be exterminated in a flash, and ten years have passed.

General Buck told Koya about the past because His Majesty Pierre VI wanted to persuade the rebel army to come back and work together against the enemy at hand. He gave Keya a task, that is, to lead a short and capable team to protect the envoys to go deep into the wild mountains, find the rebels, and bring them back to Yanjing.

This messenger of persuasion is Natara, the wife left by Prince Carlos in Yanjing and too late to take away. General Buck also instructed Koya to act at the right time, and if the rebels insisted on not returning, then they would come back immediately, and there was no need to entangle them again.

This short and capable squad has also been selected, and that is the original Keya's swordsman squad. At this moment, there were only twelve people left in the swordsman squad, and most of them were high-level warriors. Although military literacy may be lacking, everyone has a skill, which can really be described as short and capable!

After receiving the order, Keya immediately went to the barracks to gather the whole team, and after announcing the mission, he immediately began to make preparations. After dawn, the whole team was ready and waiting at the gate of the barracks. Not long after, General Buck himself came. He brought a woman in her thirties and introduced Koya to her as the messenger of return.

During the war, there was not so much nonsense either. After a brief farewell, Koya's team led the woman out of the southern city gate and headed for the southern border. This woman named Natara, who seems to have a bit of a swordsman's background, is even better at riding than Koya. It's just that since she was brought by General Buck, she has looked indifferent and hasn't said a word. Keya wanted to communicate with her several times, but she ignored her.

At this moment, in the southern part of Yanjing, there is no trace of the enemy. Even so, Koya and the others did not dare to be careless. Galloping cautiously all the way, he soon moved away from Yanjing City.

At this time, Judy quietly drove her horse close to Keya and said to him: "Keya, look at that woman, what is her spirit? Isn't she just a thief's wife?

Ke Ya hurriedly sighed and said softly: "Be quiet, people used to be princesses, and it's not strange to have a little shelf." Our mission is only to make sure she arrives safely, and it doesn't matter if we ignore us. ”

Judy had no choice but to snort and said, "You're good-tempered! By the way, is your injury really healed? Does it hurt to ride on a horse?"

"Okay, don't you know about Master Fenia's healing technique, I'm like I've never been injured, I don't even have a scar!"

Suddenly, Britney laughed after Judy. Judy turned around and said puzzledly, "Britney, what are you laughing at?"

Britney rode a little faster, and whispered a chuckle beside Judy, "If you don't worry, you can go and check it carefully when it's time to rest at night!"

When Judy heard this, she immediately blushed and said angrily, "Teacher Britney! I just care about him, how can I have the kind of intentions you said?"

Britney laughed so happily that Judy couldn't lift her head from her laughter, so she had to snort again and urge the horse to run ahead.

At this time, Keya came to Britney's side and said, "Britney, what did you say to Judy just now?"

Britney didn't dare to lie to her master, so she had to be honest: "Back to the master's words, I said just now...... Hee-hee, when you rest at night, I'll give you a check-up on the wound!"

"Huh?"

After driving for a while, suddenly one of the leading swordsmen "shouted", stopped the horse and shouted, "Who is ahead?" and then immediately turned back to Ke Ya and said: "Report to the captain, there is a suspicious situation ahead!"

Because of the war, even the common people in the south of the empire have been almost transferred. Near Yanjing, it was even more empty. Suddenly, a figure was found here, of course, very suspicious.

Keya was taken aback, and immediately ordered, "Stop the advance of the troops, prepare for battle!" and as he said that, he mounted his horse to meet him, and at the same time unsheathed the long sword stuck in the saddle.

But he saw a mound on the side of the road about fifty paces ahead, and on top of the mound, a man and a rider were slowly descending. When Keya looked closely, he was even more surprised, and cried out in a lost voice: "Diana?"

It was Diana, the daughter of General Barker! Unexpectedly, he gave a standard military salute to Keya from afar, and said loudly: "Report to Captain Keya, on the orders of the Imperial General, Diana, a new soldier of the swordsman squad, reports to you!"

Keya was so shocked that her jaw was about to drop, and she couldn't even speak as she looked at Diana, the new warrior who appeared in the air. But behind him, Judy said in surprise and joy: "Diana, what are you doing here?"

Diana was also surprised to see Judy, and said, "Huh, Judy, did you also participate in this mission?"

Judy was overjoyed to see her good friend, and hurriedly urged her forward, asking happily and strangely. Ke Ya settled down, and immediately rode over, and said with a serious face: "Diana, what are you kidding? We are on a mission, not going out to play! How dangerous is it for you to leave Yanjing alone? General Buck is not in a hurry to die when he finds out? Go back quickly! If you encounter an enemy, I see what you should do?"

Diana also had a small face, and said very seriously: "Of course I know that you are going to carry out the mission, I am waiting for you here, just to complete this task with you!"

Keya said angrily, "Who gave you this right to participate in the mission?

Diana straightened her chest and said confidently: "It's my father! Salmondo!"

Keya was really confused by Diana's momentum, but after thinking about it carefully, he said to himself: "No! This is a military mission, and with General Barker's way of doing things, there is no reason to send me an additional man without informing me of the person in charge? Eighty percent of this Diana thought it would be fun to go on a mission, so she took it upon herself to wait for us here in the morning, and dared to pretend that it was her father's assignment! Hmph! Want to get me? When I am a three-year-old child?"

Thinking of this, he sneered, stretched out his hand, and said, "Yes? It turns out that General Buck sent you." Alright, please show me General Barker's warrant. For such a big thing, there has to be a proof or something?"
