At dusk, the suppression of Fort Linhai finally ended. The remnants of the defeated army were to be gathered together and crushed to the open space in front of the city gates, and the executioners were to execute the punishment of beheading one by one. Their families were all imprisoned and prepared to be used as slaves. Baron William gave orders to his soldiers to guard the castle's main points. Granaries and weapons depots are the focus of supervision, in addition to more than 100 captives awaiting trial. Eventually, they will be broken up and integrated into the army.

Curt had been by Baron William's side, following him everywhere. He knew that in the near future, he would do the same himself. At Curt's behest, Gordon and Cameron are also working as best they can. They are all smart people, and it is not difficult to learn from them.

It wasn't until night fell that everyone stopped to rest. After a brief dinner, Curt walked up the walls. Compared to Yongye Fort and Green Shade Fort, Linhai Fort is much smaller. Its facilities are also relatively old, but it is still a castle with everything it needs. Within a month, the King of Gurrant would confer the title of Marquis of Curt. At that point, Fort Linhai was Curt's belongings.

Curt walked aimlessly, looking down at the gathering place of the lords near the castle. Fort Linhai isn't big enough to hold everyone. The local inhabitants built villages outside the castle, mostly near the beach for fishing. Curt will be in charge of thousands of people, and it will be a test. If you ask yourself, Curt doesn't have the confidence to be a good lord.

However, compared to the Marquis of Winton, Curt should still be much better. The Marquis of Winton was a typical example of arrogance and stupidity, as was his son Robert. Aside from Robert's once unscrupulous pursuit of Randall, he alone is his cousin in the war. It was enough to make Curt dumbfounded.

At that time, Robert was leading a mere fifty men. Charge at the baggage troops protected by the main force. He seemed to believe that he could cut through the waves like a legendary hero. Pierce through ten times as many enemies as you. The result was simple - after a rain of arrows, four sacrificial swords were the first to rush forward, crushing Robert and his men. They swung their two-handed swords like a flock of sheep and carried out a complete crush.

Similarly, the Marquis of Winton was also a mess at a critical moment. After Baron William's ultimatum, the Marquis of Winton actually drew his sword and slashed two guards whom he believed to be spies, leading a rebellion with his own hands. The reason was that the two guards had treacherous eyes......

Curt laughed unconsciously, he felt that the Marquis of Winton had refreshed the lower limit of humanity. At the same time, Curt also sounded a warning bell for himself in advance, telling him that when he was in power, he must not inflate himself like the Marquis of Winton.

Curt stopped in the night, and not far from him was Prince Wren, who was walking slowly. Prince Wren wore a black cloak that exposed the hilt of his sword on the left side of his body. He saluted Curt from afar, then drew his sword, held it flat in front of him, and said:

"I've met Adios, Mr. Curt. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Wren the Sword Wielder, one of the full members of Hidden Blade. You should know. There are very few things that can be hidden. Therefore, I must use my second identity, the prince of Aotran, the land of the sword, to give you an explanation. Qianfa City didn't even say any hello and attacked Prince Owen. This is insulting to us and absolutely cannot be accepted. What are you going to do? I hope to get a satisfactory answer. ”

The answer is yes. ”

Curt swung away the four sacrificial swords hiding in the shadows, then drew them with a smile. He greeted Wren with dignity, and at the same time said leisurely:

"Until then, show me what you're capable of, Wren the Swordwielder. We weren't honest enough in the past, and now we should make up for it. ”

With that, Curt waved his sword-holding hand. Wren accepted the move with a calm face, and exchanged two swords with Curt in the snap of his fingers. Relatively speaking, Wren's swordsmanship is more spicy, he has been fighting on the front line all year round, and he has been on the battlefield more than once. But Curt's swordsmanship was inherited from Adios and adhered to a light and swift route. In the case of each with its own reservations, it is evenly matched.

“...... Are you humiliating me?"

Wren pushed Curt away with brute force, and his anger gradually rose. He knew that as long as Curt cast his spell, the battle would be over. But Curt actually used swordsmanship to compete with himself as a warrior, which is undoubtedly a contemptuous expression. And during the brief encounter, Wren tried to unload Curt's weapon, but failed. Curt's swordsmanship is far from being powerful, but it is still a little difficult to defeat him easily.

Curt didn't answer, he just smiled and moved his steps. The walls were wide enough for swordsmanship, and Curt wanted to know how far he could go in actual combat.

In the next second, Wren jumped directly at Curt and slashed violently. His muscles have been honed for a long time, and his physique is a full lap stronger than Curt's, and he is simply unstoppable when he wields his strength advantage to the extreme. Curt took the move in the regression and unloaded the attack. He then pinned down Rennes with a lower stab, buying time to regroup.

The sword light flew, mixed with a crisp collision sound. Wren's movements are not as weird and changeable as Adios's, and Curt is actually able to take on dozens of his moves. It wasn't until Curt's body was gradually depleted and his movements became sluggish that Wren found his chance. He lunged violently, using his iron gloved left hand to fend off Purple Resentment, and put the blade of his sword against Curt's neck.

"Can you give me an explanation?"

Wren stared at Curt with an unchanging smile, and his hand holding the sword did not tremble in the slightest. Curt brushed aside the blade against his neck with one finger, then shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I've already explained it to you, Prince Wren. I have full trust in you, even allowing you to threaten my life with a sword. As for Prince Owen's matter, please be sure to understand. He shouldn't have thought so badly about Catherine that he stepped on someone else's bottom line. Actually, I don't see him as an ally, he's just a pig teammate at best. Of course, for your sake, Prince Owen will recover soon. Now I want to ask, do you want him to get better? For you, for me, for Autran, it would be best for Prince Owen's life to come to an end. ”

“...... Father has issued a secret order to strip Owen of his inheritance, so you don't need to meddle. I've done it with you, and the curse of Owen can be revealed. But, ignore him. ”

Wren retracted his sword and stepped back. Curt shook his head slightly, and said with some disappointment:

"Not decisive enough, Wren. This is unhelpful kindness and only lays the seeds of hidden dangers. Of course, I don't have the right to intervene in your family affairs, but we have to make it clear. - You know, the war has just begun. For the enemy, I have my approach. If you stand in my way on the battlefield, I will never sell your face again. Whether you are Prince Wren or Wren the Sword Bearer, you must remember that we are equal allies, and no one can command anyone. ”

"You seem to have changed, Curt. You were in such a hurry to return to Qianfa City before, did you give birth to something?"

Wren was silent for a moment before he spoke dryly. Curt smiled back with a hollow smile, and he looked up at the stars and said:

"yes, a lot of things. Now I have more than just my own life on my back. Wren, if your sister's life were in danger, how many people would you kill to save her? No need to answer, I just want to tell you that what I am carrying now is a thousand times heavier than you can imagine. ”

"I get it......"

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Wren exhaled. He lowered his gaze and said softly:

"I'll stay as far away as I can from you, so as not to get in your way. But you also have to remember that making the lives of most people better is the purpose of Hidden Blade since its establishment. You've got to get your hands right, or Adeos and I won't be able to help you. ”

"Thank you for your advice, I remember. ”

Curt patted Wren on the shoulder, loosening the mood a bit. He walked past Wren, and suddenly stopped. Curt returned under the moonlight and said quietly:

"By the way, there's one more thing I have to tell you. After careful consideration, I decided to propose to Princess Fran. ”

"You're ......!"

Wren turned around and widened his eyes. He reached for Curt's collar, but the invisible wall of force field came at him and pushed him away. Curt bathed in the moonlight, looked down at Wren who stumbled and fell, and said:

"This is for the sake of Otlan and the City of a Thousand Laws, and my marriage to Princess Fran will be the link between the two. You don't have to worry that I will hurt Princess Fran, I will do all the duties of a husband. Princess Fran will not fall prey, she will be much happier than when she was placed under house arrest. ”

With that, Curt rubbed his fingers. The four sacrificial swords bypassed the stunned Wren and followed Curt down the wall. It wasn't until Curt disappeared into the night that Adios emerged from the shadows nearby. He picked up Wren, who was still sitting on the ground, and said with a grin:

"Well, have you thrown in the towel? In terms of enlightenment, you are far worse than Curt is now. The most terrible bad guy is the one who recognizes his position, has the consciousness of being spurned by thousands of people, and is still determined to follow through to the end. And Curt is the son of Ioham, the heir of the Thousand Laws City. If you stand in his way, you'll end up dead. ”

Curt's true identity gave Wren another shock, but he took it. Wren shook his head in disbelief and took Adios' hand and stood up. He looked down at his saber and said in a firm tone:

"I'll stop Curt if I have to. It's for Fran...... In the last dozen years, I haven't done what an older brother should do. And Fran ...... She always calls me brother......" (To be continued......

PS: Regarding Ani's summoning and captivity, on the one hand, it's because she doesn't really care. On the other hand, when mages summon, they will lay down various defenses, which are far from their own normal strength. A false summon will teleport a random subject to the mage, often with no control. But being unable to control zhì does not mean that they cannot be imprisoned, even if they are against the heavens like the Abyss Lord, as long as they are protected properly, they usually have nothing to do with the summoner. Of course, they will definitely retaliate afterwards.
