The poisonous town of Baishi in Chapter 8 has a small population, but it is located on the main thoroughfare connecting the north and south, and it is quite prosperous. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWhite Rock is located on the southern border of the Delaware Empire, and its inhabitants have always lived in peace and tranquility. Luckily for Whitestone, at least before the flames of battle from the Scarlet Twin Banners had spread here, the Emperor of Delaware announced his surrender for the sake of the people.

Over the years, the town's residents have become accustomed to the laid-back life of going to bed early and waking up late. But on this foggy morning, almost all the residents braved the biting cold wind to walk out of their warm homes and gather on Central Boulevard. Everyone's expressions were solemn and sad, and a little dazed. Last night, the city lord's heralds ran all over the town and read aloud the last credentials of the Delaware Empire. The city changed overnight, and the townspeople, who had lived in comfort, did not fully understand what this meant for them.

No one wants to accept a ruler with a scarlet twin flags, but they can only accept it.

The sun leaped above the horizon, and the sky was not very bright, but it was already shining. However, this dazzling moment was very short-lived, and the clouds in the distance quickly covered it, confusing the overflowing light. The mist formed by the evaporation of the frost rises from the ground, and the town is immersed in an orange-gray mist.

Seven bells rang from the direction of the city's town hall.

In a few moments, White Rock City will officially become the territory of the Asrofik Empire. The Imperial army will take over the city's defenses, and the temporarily appointed lord will take over the revered current lord.

The townsfolk had just gathered on both sides of the central avenue when they felt the earth tremble slightly. After a while, the shaking of the ground became more and more obvious, and immediately, a deep thunder began to roll in from afar!

The citizens looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, and the vibrations were transmitted from the soles of their feet to their hearts, and their faces turned a little pale.

The warriors looking at the top of the city suddenly exclaimed!

Smoke and dust rose on the horizon in the distance, and in the fluttering flags, countless iron horsemen rolled in! A young soldier in Baishi City had good eyesight, and he could clearly see the two fluttering battle flags from a distance.

The battle flag is dark red and decorated with a coat of arms like a golden shield, which is the blood-colored double flag that brings endless nightmares to the Delawans!

When the seemingly never-ending torrent of iron horses poured into White Rock City, the citizens of the city could barely believe their eyes. White Rock City is just a small city with a population of less than 10,000 people, why would so many iron horsemen be sent to surrender? And looking at the fluttering blood-colored flags, it is obvious that Prince Rog of the Empire has also come to White Rock in person!

However, the residents of Baishi finally saw the imperial prince with his own eyes on his hands stained with the blood of millions of Deladians. Contrary to previous rumors, it was not a vicious figure riding forward under the Scarlet Twin Banners, but a fat man who seemed quite amiable.

Surrounded by the Tidal Riders, Rog slowly entered the unremarkable town. With a perennial smile on his face, he looked around at White Rock and the inhabitants on both sides of the street. Rogge saw confusion, sadness, loss, and, of course, fear in the eyes of the city's citizens. These people did not come to welcome him, and no one forced them to stand on either side of the street. These ordinary commoners came to witness with their eyes the end of a dynasty and the beginning of a new one.

The cold wind sent various sounds into Rogge's ears, and suddenly there was a faint cry of a baby. Rogge's ears moved slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he had caught a beautiful young woman with a child in her arms standing by the second-floor window of a hotel in the distance.

She covered her mouth with her right hand, desperately trying not to make a sound. However, her shoulders twitched, and her vision was already blurry. Although she was so far away that she couldn't see the facial features of the person in the crowd, she still tried to keep her eyes open, not wanting to let go of the familiar outline that she had drawn in her mind.

However, in the end, that person, the person who made her think about it for a long time, the person who is now in power, still turned into a blurry color in front of her eyes.

She finally couldn't hold it back, and a dull choking leaked from between her fingers. Androni appeared quietly behind her, holding the crumbling young woman.

The White Rock Castle is not very large, and the White Rock Avenue in the center of the city is only a few hundred meters long. Surrounded by his entourage, Rogge's figure quickly disappeared into the town hall.

"Lord Rogge, you seem to be feeling a little unwell just now?" Mei asked quietly, following behind Rogge.

Rogge lowered his eyelids, hid the flashing light, nodded, and said, "I've been thinking about the free city-state of Hailar. Mei, what do you think about this? ”

"It turns out that the adults are worried about this matter. Mei sorted out the information in her mind and said, "The free city-state of Hailar controls six large ports and countless islands on the west coast of the Longines Sea, and is known for its prosperous trade. Hailar's naval fleet and merchant fleet are large, but their land forces are limited in size and rely mainly on mercenaries for garrison tasks in peacetime. This time, their proposals, including expanding trade, protecting caravans on both sides, and fighting bandits on the trade routes, were all beneficial to both of us. While it is a bit of a stretch to demand that we make unilateral tariff concessions and recognize the status of the town of Clayford, which they are building as a trade trough, the people of Hailar are shrewd merchants, and I think their demands are just bargaining chips with us. ”

Rogge said lightly: "It's not a good thing to be too shrewd." They had the audacity to make such a request, believing that I had just captured the Delaware Empire, suffered heavy casualties, and that the rear was too unstable to fight them again. The town of Clayford is only a few days away from White Rock, and as far as I know, there is no place to belong. But from now on, it's the territory of the Empire. Today we have a day off here, and tomorrow morning we will go to Cliveford to have a look. ”

"My lord, are you planning to expel the Hyrule of Clayford?"

"Expulsion or perdition, I'll give them a choice. ”

"But it will lead to a new war. We're not ready for another war, Lord Rogge. At least we have a rival principality on our side. ”

Rogge said lightly: "I will tell the Hailar people that if they dare to provoke a war, then after I have pacified the rear, I will start a war against them! They will either accept my terms or they will prepare to perish. In front of the empire, there was no room for merchants to bargain. ”

He ...... Will he come?" the beautiful young woman sat in her chair, tears falling like pearls with broken threads, and sobbing softly once or twice.

Androni sighed softly and said, "I don't know either. Lilith, he has a lot of enemies now. If you let others know about you and your children, it will definitely not be a good thing for you. So he had to be cautious. ”

Lilith looked at the gloomy sky outside the window in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears.

In the blink of an eye, the lights are on.

Normally, the night in White Rock City is quiet, but this night is even more deadly, even the usual occasional wanderers and drunks are nowhere to be seen, only the sound of the hooves of the patrolling cavalry echoes in the night sky.

On the second floor of the inn, a roaring fire in the fireplace warms the room. Androni pointed out Lilith's use of Starry Sky Fighting Qi, correcting the fallacies in her swordsmanship. Both of them were a little absent-minded, though.

Suddenly there was a chill in the room. Lilith was stunned, then turned abruptly and looked incredulously at Rogge, who had been standing in the room for some time. Her reaction was even a little quicker than Androni's.

Rogge took the child from Lilith, who was standing in a daze, raised it to his eyes, and exclaimed, "Look at these eyes!

He looked at Lilith again and smiled, "Lilith, you've become pretty too." ”

Androni took a low sip, stretched, and pushed the door down the stairs.

Tears welled up in Lilith's eyes, and she wiped them away, smiling reluctantly, "I'm getting old!"

Rogge carefully placed the child back on the cot and pulled the white gauze tent on top of the bed. Then he turned around and showed a wicked smile on his face, and pulled Lilith into his arms, and the other restless hand immediately reached through her collar and into her clothes, holding her **.

The touch from his hand was still straight, slippery, and surprisingly plump, and he couldn't hold the plump softness with one hand.

Two red clouds flew over Lilith's face, and her body became hot. She pushed Rogge's hand, though weak, but very resolute. "Don't! Karn is downstairs!"

"He won't know. ”

"But...... I can't be sorry for him!

Rog replied with a deep kiss that completely swallowed Lilith's tongue, sealing all her words back into his mouth. His hands were not idle, and he did not pay any attention to her protests and struggles, and skillfully untied her. The five fingers of his left hand fell into the crisp milk that seemed to be grasped with both hands, and his right hand combed back and forth along her warm **, and then probed along the inner thigh.

Lilith snorted, completely overwhelmed by the newborn spring tide.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of White Rock City, and more than a dozen knights restrained their mounts under the city. They were surprised that the gates of White Rock City were still wide open around midnight.

These knights come in different attire and appear to be a group of adventurers or a small group of mercenaries.

"It's strange that the gates of the city are not closed so late. And the city was surprisingly quiet. A woman dressed as a mage said.

Another petite woman dressed as a thief sniffed and said, "There is no smell of killing and blood, and there is no smell of corpses." It seems that White Rock City has not experienced war yet. It's also a good thing that the gates are open, so we don't have to sleep in the wilderness. ”

A tall warrior sighed contentedly and said, "I can finally sleep in a warm hotel tonight." Alas, I have been floating on the Longines Sea for more than a year, and now I am a little unaccustomed to land. But if we can sell things this time, we won't have to worry about it for the next ten years!"

Another middle-aged man who looked quite majestic sighed: "If everything goes well, I think it's time to find a big nobleman to be our boss and live a few days in peace." We were twenty-one when we went to sea, and now we ...... Only thirteen returned. I'm too old to take any more risks and no longer want to watch my friends fall one by one. ”

As he spoke, the weather-beaten and weather-hardened adventuring party had entered White Rock City.

In the blink of an eye, they felt that something was wrong, the street was too quiet, a little scary. The houses on both sides of the street are still lit up, but there is no sign of human activity.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came straight at them from the front and back, and the adventurer, knowing that the situation was not good, immediately dismounted, and formed a battle formation, with his mount as the outermost protection. The mages and priests began to bless their companions with secondary magic. A tall swordsman in the team drew a two-handed longsword that shone with magical brilliance and blessed himself with a few more auxiliary spells.

The adventurers' faces turned white when they saw that they were surrounded not by the thieves or bandits they had expected, but by the heavily armed and murderous regular cavalry and heavy infantry! No matter how high they thought of themselves, they would never be able to fight the whole army of hoplites and knights. What's more, judging from the neat and unwarlike encirclement alone, these warriors are obviously the elite of the elite.

The magic swordsman whispered, "Don't panic! we will concentrate on bombarding the direction of the city gate with magic, and we will have a chance to rush out!"

However, the sound of brisk horses' hooves sounded again, and more than a dozen horsemen rushed over, wandering around the perimeter of the encirclement. Immediately, the knights were all lithe, and instead of spears and axes, they drew their magic longbows and aimed them at the adventurers. The knight's long pointed ears reminded the adventurer of their elven identity.

The adventurer's heart sank. No matter how fast they moved, they couldn't escape the pursuit of the elven archers.

At this moment, a heavily armed knight who looked like a commander raised the long-handled battle axe in his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Adventurers, put down your weapons and accept all inspections! If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot!"

The silence of the night was broken.

There was a flash of light outside the window. The light was faint, but Rogge could tell it was magical. He was startled, his body floated strangely from the bed, and with a gesture of his hand, the black robe flew to him automatically like life. He took a deep look at Lilith, who was lying across the bed. The flush on her bare skin had not faded, but her eyes were closed and her face was stained with tears.

Rogge glanced at the sleeping little thing again, and seemed to sigh, and his figure slowly disappeared in the darkness.

Lilith still had her eyes closed, her right hand moving, groping blankly on the cooling bed, and finally clasped the edge of the bed, tears pouring out of the corners of her eyes.

A hand gently caressed her face and gently wiped away tears. Lilith panicked slightly, and when she opened her eyes, it turned out that Androni was sitting on the edge of the bed at some point. Her hand ran over Lilith's cheek, lingering over her long, silky neck for a moment, and then landed on her beautiful breasts, tracing the enchanting curves with her fingers.

"It's beautiful!" said Androni, and asked, "Don't you want to go with him?"

Lilith tilted her head to the side, not letting Androni see her tearful face, and said lightly: "If he had a heart, he would have taken me away in the first place." Since he doesn't say it, then I'm ...... Don't you know. ”

Androni leaned over, lightly imprinted a kiss on Lilith's face, and sighed faintly, "He's a fool who only knows power and hegemony, how can he understand your goodness?"

By this time, the long street was already stained with blood.

Rog frowned at the four heavily armed warriors who had fallen to the ground and an elven archer with half of his face charred, apparently directly hit by the fire magic, before slowly looking up at the adventurers who were in a circle and covered in blood.

The adventurers are not doing well, and one of their warriors and a thief has fallen. What's worse is that the female mage, who should have been closely protected, has now fallen into Mei's hands! Mei's slender jade fingers holding the female mage's throat will become a murder weapon at any moment.

"What's going on?" Rogge asked coldly.

"They refused to be searched, and they resisted, and I suspect they were hiding something. The knight captain.

"We can lay down our arms, we can even have these guys search! The female mage, who had fallen into the hands of her opponent, cried out unyieldingly.

Rogge knew that the personal search used by the emperor [***] team in extraordinary times was a real close-fitting, and even the inside of the underwear had to be checked. Powerful magic items don't have to be huge. A well-crafted Death Cloud scroll is enough to send hundreds of warriors to hell, but it can hide itself in the middle of a woman's plump **. When an important imperial minister like Rogge is operating in a newly occupied area, the Imperial [***] team will definitely conduct a personal search for suspicious adventurers.

Rog looked over to the female mage.

She is not very old, she looks like she is in her early twenties, and her appearance is quite beautiful. However, the alluring beauties of adventurers have always existed only in the exaggerated poems of bards. Because of the long adventures outside, even the magicians who have always been protected will inevitably have traces of wind and frost on their faces. They may be beautiful, but they are by no means exquisite.

According to the fat man's current requirements, this female mage is all over her body, and only her plump breasts that fluctuate sharply are barely worth seeing.

Rogge shook his head in disgust, he was in a very bad mood because he had scruples about being pulled from Lilith by these adventurers. The fat man pointed to the female mage and said coldly, "Only this one is left alive." Of course, the ultimate fate of this living mouth is probably more tragic than that of a dead companion.

With that, Rogge turned around and wanted to leave.

"Are you...... Rog?" A very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. Rogge turned around suddenly!

The tall magic swordsman took off his helmet and exclaimed, "I'm Etter! Do you remember me?"

Rogge's spiritual power quickly swept over the magical swordsman's body. He stared at this magic swordsman with eleventh level fighting energy, sixth level magic power, and several scars on his face for a long time, and finally recognized the bad friend who fooled around with him when he was young.

For a while, all kinds of past events in the Duchy of Bavaria came to Rogge's heart one by one.

Life at that time was both embarrassing and happy.

Rogge strode up to Etter, and was so emotionally moved that he didn't know what to say, so he only roared: "Etter!"

The two looked at each other and greeted each other with a bear hug. In the end, it was still Rogge's brute force that was fiercer, and he hugged Ed's armor and groaned.

Etter laughed and said, "You're really Rogge! Haha, fuck, I haven't seen you for so many years, you're so much better than me! No, you're better than me back then." Hey, why did you get to the Delaware Empire? What kind of officer are you now, these soldiers seem to have to listen to you! Baron, or Viscount? But I've heard that Delaware is about to be wiped out by the Asrofik Empire, so you have to be careful! Otherwise, you can take your men with us to Asrofik!"

Rogge smiled and said, "I'm working for the Asrofik Empire right now. ”

"No, it won't!" Etter shouted, "You actually mix so well in the Asrofik Empire?I heard that they are at war with the Delawares, how can you be here?Are you already a vanguard officer of the Emperor [***]? Hey, you can't already be a general!"

As he spoke, Ette glanced at Mei again, and then said, "You still have such beautiful subordinates......

Mei glared at Etter coldly, and immediately scared the tall swordsman who had gone through wind and frost and cultivated both magic and martial arts into a cold sweat. At the beginning of the melee just now, the adventurers relied on their strong individual strength, tacit cooperation, and the magic advantage of the mages to defeat several hoplites one after another, and even a elven horse archer.

However, Rose appeared.

With her strange and unpredictable form, she rushed directly into the adventurer's ranks, instantly killing the warrior, kicking the female thief out of the defensive circle, and then grabbing the mage and retreating. As she retreated, she kicked Etter in the throat in the middle of her busy schedule!Mei's long legs were indeed extremely tempting, but when the two sharp short blades at her heels were sparking sparks in her armor, Zhiert had no intention of admiring the beauty in front of her.

The two young men who had fought together were catching up, and the middle-aged man among the adventurers had quietly approached Rogge, and then he suddenly shouted, "Ette! Seize him......"

Before he could finish speaking, his screams stopped abruptly! Rogge's hand had already appeared less than half a meter in front of him, and there was a small tumbling dark black fireball in his palm! The middle-aged man looked at the fireball close at hand, and he could completely feel the surging magic contained in it, and the surging heat had already curled his eyebrows in an instant!

Although the fireball technique is a very big magic, the middle-aged man has never seen a magician who can attract a fireball so much in his forty years of life! What kind of magician is this fat man with a cold aura?

In an instant, he was sweating through his clothes!

Rogge flipped his hand, and a dark black fireball flew into the air. He patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There is only one life, don't be in such a hurry to die." ”

The fat man turned his head and said, "Eter, you come with me." Your companions are a bit dangerous, and you need to grieve them. There is no need for a search, just hand over the weapon. ”

The adventurers looked at each other and honestly put down their weapons. Bloody clashes with the [***] side of Asrofik are every adventurer's nightmare. After Mei appeared, they all had the heart of death, but now fortunately, Ette and the other party's leader are old acquaintances, of course, they are not willing to waste the rare chance to live.

In the White Rock City Hall, a drunken Etter is foaming at the mouth of the story of his adventure on the Longines Sea. There are many exciting battles, but of course there are not so bright parts, such as looting a merchant ship and the like. All these years have passed, and Etter's strength has indeed grown a lot, but the Zhang Yang surname who is so happy has not changed at all.

At this moment, on the table in front of the two of them, there was a large piece of something as dark as a stone. It appears to be slightly transparent, with a faint smell of it.

This is what adventurers want to protect even if they are enemies of the army, whale incense. Whale incense is a highly prized spice that has always been found only in the body of deep-sea roaring whales. If such a large piece of whale incense appeared in Yanjing Richelieu, it could be sold for at least 10,000 gold coins, which was indeed enough for these adventurers to retire directly.

It's just that this piece of stuff that is enough to make a powerful adventurous group desperate for it is now completely out of Rogge's eyes.

The fat man suddenly sighed with emotion.

Etter suddenly took out a beautifully decorated notebook, handed it to Rogge, and said, "By the way, we killed a magician in a sneak attack, and his ice pick technique is really fucking powerful. I found it from him, but there was no magic on it, just some miracle about the goddess of ice and snow. I remember you were a magician, not so authentic, but this thing might be of some use to you, so you can take it and see it first. If it doesn't work, you can pay it back to me, and maybe you can sell it. ”

Rogge's heart moved, and he took the magic notebook and put it away.

"By the way, Rogge, how are you getting mixed up in the Empire? Look at your style, you should be a viscount!" After finally blowing about his heroic deeds, Etter finally remembered that he hadn't figured out the problem yet.

"Prince. Rogge smiled.

“......”

The fat man had a long talk with Etter all night, and then asked him and his companions to go to Tiffany first and wait for him to return.

Early in the morning, Rogge left a garrison of 1,000 troops at White Rock and led the rest of the troops to begin their march towards Crawford.

In the cold morning breeze, a mysterious knight suddenly appeared beside Rogge and rode with him.

The knight's entire body was condensed by a faint golden light that flickered and dimmed, and it looked completely disembodied. None of the marching processions, except for Rogge, noticed the knight's presence, despite their close proximity.

(To be continued)
