However, after the annexation of the Lusu Principality, Ezreal did not further attack other countries, but instead focused on the annexed Lusu Principality, and worked hard to manage it. But secretly, there is still a lot of recruitment.

The other principalities were not fooled by the Duchy of Archidon either. It's just that the alliance of such principalities is not as united as imagined, some advocate attacking, some are hesitating, and in the end they can't reach an agreement, so they can only wait and see what happens.

And the other two empires are happy to watch them fight in the nest. Sunderland and Andrew's plan is to let them fight to defeat both, and then send troops to clean up the Tiga Federation and achieve the goal of carving up the Tiga Federation.

This battle also made Tropos famous on the mainland, and was known as the "Flame Rose" of Censhers.

Horn after hearing Tropos's message. The mood is very complicated. He had long understood Ezreal's abilities and Tropos's strength. It's just after awakening the Force and having the strength of a second-level magician. The heart of admiration, which had lost confidence, was quietly resurrected, thinking that after gaining strength, he would be able to get close to Tropos, hoping to get her favor.

Now after hearing this kind of news, I realize that the gap between myself and them has not narrowed, but is getting farther and farther away. This is undoubtedly pouring cold water directly on that little fire of hope.

Frustrated, Horn instead focused his experience more on cultivation. Cultivating hard.

In the blink of an eye, spring turned to autumn, and the first snowfall finally ushered in on this extinct volcano.

Looking at the snow-covered training ground, Horn remembered that he had been here for a year and three months.

Time flies. Horn sighed, he was just a martial artist with a strength of less than five levels when he first came here. And now he is already a master with an eighth-level martial artist and a second-level magician. Such a strength is something I couldn't have imagined a year ago. Now even after Horn goes out, he is not afraid that Duke Haig will know that he is still alive. If you want a knighthood, it's easy. After all, the strength of an eighth-level martial artist and a second-level magician is there. In this world, power and money are built on strength. As long as you have strength, even if your character is poor, there will be people to recruit you.

It's just that the current Horn is no longer the Horn he used to be. I've lost interest in knighthoods or something. Just like a person who has experienced the magnificent sea, he will not be interested in a calm and waveless lake, even if the lake is so beautiful.

Horn planned to take a look at various locations on the continent after cultivating for a period of time. See if the elves are as beautiful as the legend says, how brave the orcs of the orc empire are, and how beautiful the weapons made by the dwarves...... After enjoying the scenery of the mainland, return to the town of Dauphin under the Dromleka Mountains, get a random knighthood, and live there for the rest of your life.

It would be perfect if you could marry a wife as beautiful as Tropos......

Horn thought wistfully......

The sluice gates on the only passage of the extinct volcano slowly opened with a "creaking" sound. With the crisp sound of horses' hooves, a carriage slowly drove out of the passage.

The carriage was pulled by two solid black horses. On the horse's hind rump is a coat of arms consisting of a sword and a spear crossed, which represents the royal family of the Saatchi Empire. This also shows that the owner of this carriage is not a member of the royal family of the Thatchi Empire, and he is also related to the royal family.

In addition, the decoration of the carriage is extremely luxurious, and the pure gold ornaments wrapped around the edge of the frame alone are not affordable by ordinary people. In addition to those exquisite carvings on the top of the carriage. No craftsman can make such a beautiful object without decades of hard work.

On the platform, DuPont was already standing there waiting. Generally speaking, as long as it is not always important, he will not appear on the platform, and usually someone will go to the castle on the stone pillar when looking for him. And now that he is on the platform, it also reflects the importance of the people coming up in the carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of Dupont, the hooves of the horses in unison, and after stopping, it did not move. Apparently after rigorous training.

The velvet curtain of the carriage was lifted, and out of it came a white-bearded, medium-sized, ordinary-looking blouse made of pure silk cotton and sea tiger down, and a pair of long-trousers made of thin tweed. The clothes are dotted with gold threads and woven into different patterns, and a fox fur coat is covered with a coat.

This dress alone is worth three gold coins, which shows that the identity of the person who came is at least a nobleman.

DuPont nodded to the white-faced, beardless middle-aged man in welcome. Then he smiled and said, "Dear Marquis of Anglo, I hope you didn't come here to enjoy the snow. ”

The white-faced middle-aged man, the Marquis of Anglo, tightened his fox fur coat, bowed to Dupont, and said in return: "Dear Lord Dupont, I hope my arrival has not disturbed you. ”

Du Pont smiled and said, "No, it's still less polite." It won't be a trivial matter to let you, a busy man with a lot of opportunities, come here, just say it. ”

The Marquis of Anglo said with an expressionless face: "I came here today to be commissioned by a big man to bring you something. As he spoke, he took out an envelope made of cowhide from his bosom and handed it to DuPont.

DuPont took it and asked, "There aren't many people who can call you a "big man", who is it?"

The Marquis de Anglo did not answer, and said rigidly: "You will know it by looking at it yourself." ”

DuPont opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and looked at it. The more he looked at his face, the more uncertain he became, and finally crumpled the letter into a ball, and as soon as he was lucky, the unusually tough cowhide envelope suddenly turned into powder and scattered on the ground. Then he said, "I know, I'll take care of this thing." ”

The Marquis of Anglo nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and reply." ”

After the Marquis of Anglo disappeared, Dupont looked up at the gloomy sky in the sky, and his originally smiling face turned into a solemn expression, and he said to himself: "The sky has changed......

DuPont brought all the trainees together. DuPont still had the same smiling expression, but his eyes inadvertently showed a look of distraction.

DuPont walked back and forth, his eyes sweeping over all the trainees, as if thinking about something.

Everyone was swept away by Dupont's eyes, and finally DuPont spoke: "I have gathered you all together today because I have something to announce." That's when I'm going out to do something, and it might take months. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, more than a dozen students looked at each other. If DuPont goes out, what will happen here?

DuPont then said, "In the meantime, I want to bring a few people with me to do this." As for what it is, you will know when the time comes. Do any of you want to go out with me on errands?"

Everyone didn't speak, they didn't know what DuPont was going to do, it was so mysterious, they had to go to the ground to find out. If it's too dangerous, what can you do? The students came here to cultivate, not to do things for DuPont, and they also paid DuPont tuition fees, and they didn't owe him anything.

Seeing that everyone was silent, DuPont immediately said, "Well, if someone volunteers to go with me, then the tuition fee will be waived for one year." ”

When the students heard this, their eyes widened. DuPont is a money-hungry person, and the thing that can make him bleed so heavily must be a very serious thing. None of them wanted to go with DuPont now.

Seeing that there was still no one, Dupont gritted his teeth and said, "Two years, this is the highest condition." ”

Horn and all the students bowed their heads one by one, and no one went.

Du Pont snorted angrily and said, "Okay, since no one volunteered to go." Then I'll take the roll call one by one. ”

Several were ordered one after another, including Horn, Adair, and Justin for a total of five. Then he said, "Come with me." Others stayed here and cultivated on their own. ”

Horn found that except for himself, everyone else had ninth-level strength. And because he has the strength of a second-level magician, he is about the same strength as everyone else.

"Excuse me, teacher, can I not go?" Justin said. He was very dissatisfied, and just now he said that he was voluntary, but now he is compelling.

"No," DuPont said bluntly.

"Why?" said Horn, both dissatisfied.

Du Pont didn't say anything, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, raised it, and said, "This is a conscription order issued by His Majesty the Emperor. As long as it is a member of the Saatchi Empire, he must obey the call unconditionally. ”

At this moment, Horn, Adele, and Justin were dumbfounded. In the Thatchi Empire, adult males must obey the Empire's call-up orders, and anyone who belongs to the Thatch Empire must obey the call-up. However, this kind of conscription order will only be issued in times of war, when the empire is in crisis. Why did DuPont have a battle order?

"We're going to take a look," Justin said. He was afraid that Dupont would bluff them with a fake conscription order.

DuPont handed it directly to Justin. Justin looked at it in detail, and finally returned it directly to DuPont, without speaking. Others asked him how he was.

"Really," Justin said weakly.

"How do you know?" Horn asked.

Justin smiled bitterly: "Because my father is the official of the Emperor Xià who is responsible for drafting the imperial order, this is what he wrote, and that seal is also real, and there is also the signature of the Emperor Xià on it, it can't be fake, I have seen a lot of it since I was a child." It's just that I don't understand, now is not a time of war, how the emperor will issue this. ”

At this point, everyone was speechless. It's just that Horn can't say it, except for himself, everyone else is from the Thatch Empire and must be called, but he is actually from the Sunderland Empire, and he just uses a fake identity, but he can't say it.

"Okay, now it's okay. Then I'll leave tomorrow. Dupont said with a smile.

The next day, Horn and his group of five prepared their luggage early. Actually, I didn't have any luggage, just a few clothes. You don't have to bring anything else. Anyway, this time I went with Dupont, and he had to get ready.

Horn and his party of six left the extinct volcano cultivation site where they had lived for more than a year.
