Lion City, Court Garden.

This is what was once the square of the House of Lords of Pande.

A noble lady sat on a wicker chair in the garden, her face did not seem to be well, and she coughed twice from time to time, apparently ill.

And in front of her, stood King Ulrik.

Ulrike was dressed in civilian clothes, a golden brocade robe, and a glass of red wine in his hand, and his face was not very good.

"Sister, of course I can't really get Andrew to confess...... In fact, he's just right in my vault right now......"

Ulrique's brow furrowed, he didn't like to deal with relatives, but the cousin was sick, so he had to explain patiently.

"Your Majesty...... Cough...... Then why are you issuing a wanted warrant? So Andrew's future is over! You know Andrew wouldn't do that kind of thing! ”

This lady was, of course, Godric's wife, Lady Filina, the cousin of King Ulrique.

"This is a conspiracy of the Bacchus Empire, and I can't let it succeed, that's the only way to ...... Alas, where is Godric? Why didn't he come with you? ”

Ulrike was a little helpless, but now he hoped that the brother-in-law, who had always been unaccustomed to it, would appear soon, and it was really tiring to chat with a woman who couldn't see her son being wronged.

"What conspiracy? Since you know it's a conspiracy, you shouldn't want Andrew...... My poor son...... You have to be clear! ”

Filina looked more anxious......

King Ulrik didn't want to answer, he said that it was a conspiracy of the enemy, how could he tell a woman about the affairs of the state?

But I can't say anything serious, people are patients, so I have to ignore them and drink on my own.

However, the other hand quietly gestured to the nearby attendant.

"Your Majesty, there is an important military intelligence ...... on the front"

The attendant was obviously very clever, and when he saw the gesture, he immediately circled around, and then came back with a fake report.

"Oh-oh? I'm going to ...... I'm sorry, sister, I can't accompany you anymore......"

King Ulrique put down his glass and was about to leave.

"Stop! …… Ahem...... Ulrik, this little trick is what I taught you in the first place...... If you don't make it clear, I'll die here! You see if Godric will rebel with Fort White Hart! ”

Lady Filina's threat looked effective, and the king immediately stood still.

"Stand down...... Stand down! ”

Ulrike sighed, waved off all the guards, and turned to see that there was no one nearby before he began to speak again.

"Filina, the army of the Bacchus Empire is still in the realm of the Lion! Now is not the time to investigate, and Eldred has publicly accused Andrew of murdering Earl Auden, so I can only issue a wanted warrant first. ”

Of course, Filina was not satisfied: "But this is not the truth, Andrew has done nothing!" ”

"The truth doesn't matter, the important thing is that the Seven Forks Fortress has handed over all the evidence to me! The human and material evidence are all there! If I don't issue a wanted warrant, wouldn't it be a clear statement that I don't trust Eldred at all? ”

"Unless it is confirmed that the Bacchus Empire has fully withdrawn its troops, it can only be like this now!"

Ulrike wasn't a fool, and he knew which was more important.

But Filina was unwilling: "But you can't keep Andrew locked in the dark room!" Let him go back to the fiefdom and hide! ”

"Hmph...... If he returns to the Raven Village, what will happen to the royal city guards? …… My dear sister! Your son has done a good job, and now most of the royal city guards only obey his command! ”

King Ulrik turned his head, a rare glimmer of cold light in his eyes.

"If I don't want him, it means I think it's Eldred making a false accusation - so what would Seven Forks Fortress think? The army of the Bacchus Empire is just around the corner of the Seven Forks! ”

"I don't know the truth, and I don't want to know the truth, dear sister!"

"I need the royal city guards to obey the command, and I can't lose the Seven Forks Fortress! I can only keep Andrew in my secret room, there is no better way! ”

Ulrik lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said, "I will take care of your son, and when the Bacchus Empire retreats, naturally everything will fall into place!" ”

Filina began to cry: "But in that case, Andrew's future will be over......"

The king's face was gloomy and he paid no more attention.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hereward begs to see you! There is an emergency military situation! ”

The guard hurried over again.

"Don't bother me!"

"Your Majesty, this time it's true...... Lord Hereward was in the castle hall, and he brought back the military intelligence from the White Hart Castle......"

The attendant lowered his voice.

"I'll go."

……

At the same time, the lord has arrived at the Seven Forks Fortress.

As the main logo of Pande's famous listed company 'Maixiang International', Li Ang's black-on-white griffin flag is very famous in this neighborhood, after all, a large-scale commercial event was carried out next to it not long ago......

The garrison of the Seven Forks Fortress basically recognized this flag, so Li Ang entered the city smoothly.

In fact, the garrison's sentiments about the flag were mixed - not long ago, most of their salaries were swept away by this profiteer, but the service provided by this profiteer did give them a lot of memorrhage.

The delicious food, the nostalgic gambling, and the codex memoirs that spread through the barracks......

But this time, there was no caravan under the griffin, only a dozen strong men, and the big boss didn't look very good.

"Baron Eldred is not here? I'm Baron Leon! ”

The lord came to the outside of the main castle in the fortress and shouted to the guards at the gate.

The guards looked at the griffin flag, and then at Li Ang, who had a calm face as if he had come to ask for a debt, and ran to report the news.

Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties came out and grinned at the sight of the griffin flag, looking very heroic.

The First Clan

But the gloom in the triangular eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Hahaha...... What kind of wind brought His Excellency Leon here? At present, the movement of the army of the Bacchus Empire is unknown, and Your Excellency has only brought such a few people here, so you must pay attention to safety......"

Leon squinted, the last time he was doing business near the Seven Forks Fortress, Eldred had never been out of the city at all, and had never dealt with him, how could this guy look like he was familiar?

"Baron Eldred, this is the first time we've met, do you recognize me?"

The lord looked around, but he didn't see anything wrong.

"Baron Leon has taken my son's Al-Deig by force, and he doesn't know me, is that unreasonable...... Why did you come to me? ”

Eldred's triangular eyes narrowed, and his smile was still quite bright, but the words in his mouth did not match his expression at all.

I was still thinking about Elledeger......

Then I didn't say it, this guy must be the murderer who didn't run away. No wonder Rainier was able to find so many bandits, most of them were arranged by Eldred.

I wonder if the guy will be able to laugh when he hears the news of Rainier's death......

Leon pursed his lips.

"I'm here to tell you that your son Rainier died, killed by the Bacchus Empire, and died in front of Rayman, the deputy head of the Lion Knights."

The lord didn't tell a word of lies, in the final analysis, Rainier was indeed killed by the secret agents of the Bacchus Empire, and Leon just happened to be the one who did it.

Eldred's smile stiffened, and his face quickly turned from white to red, from red to purple, and finally from purple to blue, and finally only one sentence collapsed.

"You're looking for death......"

Eldred's face looked hideous, and he reached out and took off the bow behind his back.

"The Bacchus Empire has withdrawn."

Leon's soft words made Eldred stop his movements: "Eldred, you have no backup, and it doesn't matter if you can kill me or not...... Look outside the city, do you dare to kill me in front of the Lion Knights? ”

Just a few hundred meters from the fortress, the banner of the Lion Knights was marching towards the city gates.

The garrison on the city wall also began to report in due course: "Lord Eldred, the people of the Lion Knights are coming...... At least two hundred people. ”

Eldred's face turned even more ugly.

This is the confidence of the lord who dares to enter the Qicha Fortress with only a dozen or so people.

He deliberately let Lehman's Lion Knights act with him, just to swagger into the Seven Forks Fortress to bluff people.

Originally, it would have been better to have Lehman here, but Oden's death was of great benefit to Lehman, and the lord could not gamble on his character, and his performance was not trustworthy.

Although those lion knights will not listen to Leon's command, the problem is that Amy has followed the lord......

So the lion knights 'protected' Amy all the way here.

However, in Eldred's eyes, the meaning of the presence of the Royal Knights here is completely different.

Only after confirming that the Bacchus Empire has completely withdrawn its troops will it be possible for King Ulrik to send a large number of lion knights to investigate the truth!

"See? I'm here to tell you that your son died because of the Bacchus Empire...... Do you think the Empire can still trust you? The White Deer Fort side has captured the two governors of the Empire, they have sold you, and the Empire has completely withdrawn its troops. ”

"Now, you either find a way to go to Lion City and explain it clearly, or you can run away quickly."

Leon's voice became low, and he waved his hand to Klose and the others put down a large package, and then turned and left.

The guards at the gate looked at Eldred and then at Leon, not knowing whether to stop or not.

Eldred pounced, opened the large package left by Leon, his whole body trembled, and his mouth kept scolding: "Bastard, bastard......"

It was Rainier's body.

The lord was very fast, and the Lion Knights were about to enter the city, and no one stopped Leon from leaving.

Eldred now doesn't know that Rainier was killed by Leon's own hands. He couldn't have killed Leon at this juncture when the Lion Knight came over, he was asking for trouble.

But the arrival of the Lion Knight is indeed enough to prove that the Bacchus Empire has withdrawn its troops - otherwise the king would not have sent someone to the Seven Forks Fortress to find excitement......

So, at the same time that Leon withdrew from the Seven Forks Fortress, Eldred also took some of his cronies to the Lion City from the back door.
