Bergri, the Lord's Palace.

In the living room, the long dining table was covered with delicacies, and the city lord of Soru was sitting opposite Jesse, and their respective subordinates were also sitting on both sides in turn, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Come, come, to celebrate Lord Jesse's safe arrival in Belgree, you guys have another drink!"

The thick eyebrows of the city lord of Soru seemed to be connected, and his face was slightly drunk and ruddy, and he raised his glass again and stood up.

The city lord raised his glass, and the officials under him also stood up, and above the banquet, their own commanders could let go of their stomachs, but they were subordinates, so they naturally had to take care of the weight.

"Haha...... Lord Soru is a good drinker. Jesse laughed and stood up, his tone changing abruptly, "But...... It's a bit too much to drink. ”

Solu was about to bring the wine glass to his mouth, and when he heard this, he put the wine to his chest again, "Lord Jesse, where is this, I have heard that Odo is good at drinking, but my lord doesn't drink it, do you think my wine is not mellow enough?"

Hearing his persuasion, coupled with the crowd raising their glasses on both sides, Jesse didn't have much excuses, looked at the wine in the glass, and had to drink it all!

When Jesse arrived in Belgree, it was late at night, the city gates were closed, but fortunately Lotle was resting in the city, he was able to enter the city, and when he asked Mingar and the others where they were, his heart was suddenly moved!

It turned out that so late at night, Gal and the others were still looking for their own news.

The two chatted for a while, and when Jesse sighed in his heart, Lutle told him the big news, "Gabriel is dead".

As soon as Lutle finished speaking, a rough voice sounded outside the door: "Lord Jesse." What about Mr. Jesse. Where's Master Jesse?"

The voice did not fall. The door of Jesse's room was slammed open, only to see Gar wearing his whole body, his armor swaying with his footsteps, the iron blades collided, making a 'whoosh' sound, and on the armor, the bright red blood had dried up, and the coagulated blood clots also fell to the ground sporadically.

Garlbane was tall. With a full suit of armor on his body, he is like a hill, looking extremely burly. Seeing that Jesse was in the room, Gal took two quick steps, bowed down and shouted, "My subordinates, see my lord!"

Jesse was now dressed in civilian clothes, and in front of Gaar, he looked much thinner, and he grabbed Gal wrists tightly with both hands, "But is it hurt?"

Garr straightened up, the corners of his mouth slightly grinning. With an ugly smile, "Those furry cubs can't hurt me yet." Ha ha...... When the adults arrive, we'll be able to him well!"

Hurrying and a fierce battle, and then going out to find Jesse's traces, Gal's voice was a little hoarse at this time, but he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

Jesse let go of his hands, looked at Lutle on the side, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, and the battle is still for you." ”

With that, the three of them laughed in unison.

At this time, the sky was already faintly white, and after tossing all night, after setting up the soldiers and horses, Jesse and the others also began to recuperate.

But they didn't rest long, and after two or three hours, Soru's guard knocked on their door.

A reception banquet had already been placed in the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Solu, I really can't drink it here, thank you for your kindness, Jesse understands!" Jesse said with a smile as he drank the wine in his glass.

Everyone sat down again, and walked around the customer hall, Jesse's eyes were full of smiles, and he muttered in his heart from just now, "I don't know this Soru well, why, why are you so enthusiastic."

In fact, it's no wonder that Jesse didn't understand that he received an aristocratic education at an early age, and his childhood life was extremely short, and then he studied at the Imperial Military Academy and the experience in the Odo Army.

Jesse's experience helped him to become a gentleman, or an outstanding general, but he was hardly a great politician, although Augsig the Great had said before he established the empire: A great military strategist must first become a great politician.

But it's clear that Jesse still needs to grow.

Although his cavalry suffered heavy losses in the battle against Gabriel, he still had nearly 7,000 infantry, which was not too much, but just that, Jesse's troops were nearly twice the strength of the defenders of Belgre.

It's the boss who has hard fists, and now it seems that Solu's fists are indeed a little softer.

Another point is that even if Solu's troops are not large, he is the real city lord of Belgri, and naturally has the support of some civilians under his rule.

In this way, it is difficult to compare the strength of the two sides, but then again, looking at the actions at the banquet, this Suolu City Lord is also a little self-aware, or a slippery head or something.

This also depends on the geographical location of Bergre, no one can figure out what the situation of Andus Province is, or it can be said that there is no more chaotic place in the entire empire than Andus, and Tukenaye County, where Bergeri is located, is a quagmire that does not know the depths.

If the situation in Tukenaye can gradually become clear, Yiqiqi can still plan, but if the water continues to be so muddy, God knows when Belgre will accidentally fall into the pit, as Jesse has said before that there are still a large number of enemy troops south of the Chatria River.

When Manher's army was stationed in Andorra, Soroux was worried all day long, but fortunately, although Manher's army and Belgre City were only twenty kilometers away, the water from the two wells did not interfere with the river water, and now Manher's army was transferred, which made Sorou feel uncomfortable.

He didn't believe that the army from the south would not move, and if the city of Belgre fell, the city lord's hat would be a hot potato.

And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Bergre will not fall, then this is a powder keg like a storage zài, Soru knows very well in his heart that if it is peacetime, he, the city lord, will definitely be supported by the civilians, but if it is a wartime, he is at most qualified as a petty officer of military dispatch, and he does not have these two brushes to fight.

Therefore, if you are in a hurry or not late, he still has another purpose for today's meal.

At a drinking banquet, Solu got up more than ten times and frequently let him drink, so that his speech gradually began to be slurred.

"Jay...... Master Jesse. Soru still had a wine glass in his hand, and he only cared about talking, but he didn't notice that his glass was empty, "I heard...... Adult, uh...... Your Excellency used to be the lord of Wiesna?"

Seeing that he spoke intermittently, Jesse smiled slightly and said, "It's only been a few months, and it's not as much as Lord Soru's support." ”

"Huh...... Lord Jesse doesn't have to be too modest, too humble, the talent of adults, but I have heard of it for a long time. Soru raised his hand and brought the glass to his lips, and tilted his head sharply, as if he had drunk it all.

Jesse just smiled at Solu, and didn't answer, and didn't say that he didn't have any wine in his glass, but his mind was right, and he knew that business was coming.

Soru put down the wine glass again, although there was no wine in this drinking glass, the drunkenness on his face was inadvertently much stronger, and he continued: "Lord Jesse, this banquet is specially organized for the adults today, and I have another request, and I ask the adults to agree. ”

Hearing this, Jesse smiled undiminished and said, "Lord Soru, please say it." ”

"My lord, now that the war in the Empire is getting tighter, especially the situation in Andus, and Bergeri is bearing the brunt, I'm afraid ......," Soru said, slowly lowering his head and not saying more.

After Solu finished speaking, Jesse thought a little in his heart, and didn't understand what the other party wanted, so he said, "Your Excellency is guarding the city, but you can be safe." ”

As soon as the words fell, Soru continued: "Lord Jesse, I hope that my lord can temporarily take the position of the city lord to defend against strong enemies!"

"Huh?" Jesse was still thinking about what Soru meant, but now he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, not only him, but everyone on both sides who were drinking and laughing were also stunned.

After a few breaths, Jesse's face regained a natural smile and whispered, "Lord Solu, you're drunk. (To be continued......)
