The mobilization meeting ended not long after, and Lance didn't need to say much about the little students of the Exorcism Salvation Society.

Asking him to hold a mobilization meeting for Emilia is tantamount to getting an axe, and Emilia and Edward are no longer the kind of recruits who have never seen the world.

After so many years of crawling on the edge of life and death, the two of them have even better experience and sense of smell on the battlefield than Lance.

After all, Lance is just a strategic marshal, and it is the brave Emilia who really rushes to the front line to fight the enemy.

Absentmindedly said a bunch of official words and clichés, and Lance patiently told them the general itinerary and arrangements, but ...... His gaze was always on George's body.

Lance was not a man who was good at hiding his emotions, and his strange reactions all fell into Arthas's eyes, and even George, who had always been a little sluggish, sensed that he was paying too much attention to himself.

"Excuse me...... Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Just as Lance was gurgling about the itinerary of the southern expedition, George finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, interrupted Lance's words, and asked weakly.

"Oh? no. Lance was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head to deny it.

"So, then why do you keep looking at me...... Is there something strange on my face?" George wiped his face indiscriminately,

"You misunderstood, I wasn't looking at you, but ...... It's looking at her. To hide his thoughts, Lance awkwardly turned his gaze to Flando.

"Huh, you, are you looking at me? Even if you're looking at me, don't say that, really...... People will be embarrassed. Flando covered her face shyly, not daring to make eye contact with Lance.

"Uh...... No, you're mistaken, I didn't ......"

Let Lance go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, Lance will never hesitate, but if he is asked to deal with these ** little girls, except for blushing, the dull Lance can't do anything.

"Hehe, Marshal Lance, you should not have come today just to admire the beauty of the little princess of the Duchy of Valentia, you should have more important things to tell us. Arthas saw through Lance's embarrassment and smiled for him, "Although I admit that Flando's appearance is indeed outstanding, and it is understandable that you will be fascinated by her." ”

"Hey ......"

Lance has a black line.

Is his naughty younger brother relieving himself or taking the opportunity to harm himself......

"Ahem...... That's right, I have something important to tell you. Lance settled down and got down to business, "Today, please get ready. Tomorrow at noon, gather at the gate of Hogg House, and someone will come to pick you up. ”

"Pick us up, where are you going?" said Flando, who parted her thumb and forefinger, and stole through her fingers at Lance.

"Let's go to the battlefield!"

Tomorrow at noon, the exorcist army will be fully launched, and the target, of course, is the lair of the southern demons, the Endless Forest!

Gambling on the glory and the southern expedition, tomorrow at noon, the official departure!

==================

Hogg House, ** field.

Bidding farewell to his classmates in the Exorcism and Salvation Society, Lance was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Next, he no longer has to deal with these difficult imps, but has to start a life-and-death battle with the bloodthirsty demons.

As he was leaving, he was stopped by a man.

"Hehe, Lance, is Flandor pretty?" Arthas asked, smiling, stopping the hurried Lance.

"She is a beautiful female surname, a princess who has been hidden in the snow, and her name is well deserved. Lance didn't hide it, and said what was in his heart directly.

"Hehe, yes. ”

Alsace has always admired the straightforwardness of his eldest brother.

"So what, Arthas, what do you want to say?" Lance was a little impatient.

"I'm just curious...... Lance, if she confesses to you, will you accept her and marry her?" Arthas asked casually.

"Hah, Arthas, what are you talking about?"

"Why, big brother, don't think you're young, it's time to think about yourself. ”

"Hmph, I don't need people like you to educate me, you better take care of your family's Hailin. Lance's eyes were full of disdain, "Speaking of Flando, if I'm not mistaken, she should like you very much, right?" ”

"Me?oh, you mean back then......"

Last fall, the inexplicable relationship between Flandor and Arthas was widely circulated in Hoag House about a love affair that crossed borders...... At that time, Flandor was by Alsace's side every day, like a loving couple.

This matter has caused a lot of uproar, and the students can't help but pay attention to it.

Not to mention ordinary students, in the end, even Alsace's wife Helen couldn't sit still. She broke into Hogg House several times without shame, and declared her sovereignty over Arthas in public with her actions, so that those who wanted to retreat would be embarrassed.

Thanks to Helen's heroic actions, the matter slowly subsided, and Flandor no longer wanted to haunt Arthas like she had done before. However, the rumor spread more and more, and even Lance, who doesn't like gossip, heard about his brother's ** anecdote.

"No, no, no, Lance, you misunderstood. The woman didn't like me at all, or even hate me. Alsace shrugged helplessly, and said sadly, "It's a pity, maybe she knows that she and I can't have a result, so maybe she hates because of love." ”

"Hey ......"

For this narcissistic brother, Lance is powerless to complain.

"Hehe, don't you understand? The person he likes is not me, but George. Arthas snorted, as if reading Flando's thoughts.

The woman, who obviously liked the honest and reliable George, looked down on his status and envied her status as a prince, and bothered herself several times.

The woman surnamed Yang Hua doesn't like any man.

"He?" Lance remembered something important at the mention of George, and asked nervously, "Arthas, I ask you, the guy named George......"

"George, he's a bum. Arthas knew that Lance would ask such a question, and before he could finish speaking, he replied, "I have investigated his background. He had only one mother, whose whereabouts were unknown, and who was said to have died of illness. ”

"Yes......" Lance listened.

He depended on his mother since he was a child, relying on his mother's meager income to live, but the good times did not last long, that year in order to repay his debts, ** did not work all night, and finally his body collapsed, unfortunately died, and he also lived on the streets. ”

For each member of the Exorcism Salvation Society, Arthas has long done a full investigation, and he knows everyone's identity and background well.

Except, of course, Edward......

"......" Lance listened to George's story silently.

"At that time, he was young, had no money and power, and was caught by slave traders and sold to a wealthy merchant in the city. The arrogant merchant was wiped out by a small gang in Central City, the Black Flames, and George was nearly killed, but fortunately, he was saved by Kane, the headmaster of Hogg House, and taught him the art of enchantment, allowing him to join Hogg House. ”

"I see, but ......"

Lance pondered for a moment, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by Arthas.

"Big brother, do you really believe that rumor?"

"Rumors?" Lance was stunned for a moment, then remembered the rumor.

Rumor has it that in addition to Arthas and Lance, the Holy Empire King Ureon has a third son. It is said that it was his illegitimate son, the son of him and a servant.

In order not to disgrace the royal family, he "properly" disposed of the poor mother and son, so to this day, people have not been able to find the whereabouts of the down-and-out prince.

"This kind of rumor is baseless! It's really funny, it's just a group of people with bad intentions who have shameless speculation about the royal family, and it has no credibility at all. Arthas was a little excited, and said angrily to Lance, "You see, that boy's hair is not golden, but disgusting, earthy yellow, mixed with an ugly brown! That's because the potion he used to dye his hair has expired! He's a liar at all." ”

"Perhaps, you're right. Lance was noncommittal.

"I'm more concerned about the woman Flandore than George. She had come to Hogg House not just to study, but to marry a prince. Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Arthas finally explained what he meant.

"Prince, how do you know?"

"Of course I do...... If I'm not mistaken, his father, Loki, must have made her do it. It's disgusting that she took me for a fool and thought that I would really fall in love with her and marry her because of her flattery. ”

“......”

"Big brother, I just came to tell you, don't be deceived by that woman. As for George, there's nothing particularly about him that deserves your attention. ”

"Okay. ”

Lance reluctantly accepted Alsace's conclusions.

Compared to George, who has a low status, the ill-intentioned Flandor seems to deserve their attention. Because Flandor is the little princess of the Duchy of Valentia, and George is just a penniless vagabond.

In Arthas's opinion, whether it is George's background or his earthy yellow hair, it shows that this guy has nothing to do with the royal family at all.

He is not the illegitimate son of the legendary king of China, he is just a poor sour boy who wants to enter the house.

For Alsace's stubborn thoughts, Lance did not blame him.

Because, he's not like Lance. His father did not confess to him after he was drunk, and his mother did not cry to him on sleepless nights about irreparable mistakes.

Because he was still young at that time, even if he was very smart, there were some things that he didn't know, and if no one told him, he wouldn't know it for the rest of his life.

For example, he doesn't know about things like he has a younger brother. (To be continued.) )
