The moonlight is abundant, and although it is late at night, the whole world is quite bright, and you can see far away without lights.

At this time, the atmosphere in Jeanne's estate was very tense.

A large amount of wooden furniture was dismantled and piled up to the front.

A lot of stones were also pushed forward, and in front of the castle, an arched line of defense was 'created'.

And in front of the line of defense, there were a large number of corpses scattered.

The soldiers of River Creek County hid behind the defensive line, their backs against the defensive line and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Behind the window of the balcony on the third floor, Inoline opened a crack in the curtain, looked down, and also looked at the royal guards in the distance, ready to storm the castle again, and sighed.

She sat back in her chair and said, "Fortunately, Hardy was vigilant and sent his army back early to help garrison it, otherwise we would have been arrested by the royal family at this time." ”

When Lady Anna heard this, her eyes were full of joy, but there was no smile on her face.

Mrs. Sissi also said approvingly: "When Hardy was a doll, he was already very smart. Now that I'm older, I'm better at it. ”

Inoline was actually quite nervous, but in order not to affect everyone's morale and mood, she pretended to be very calm, and at the same time smiled: "Sissi, your greatest credit is to bring Hardy from Riverstream County to Boris, without him, we don't know what the current situation of the Rangna family would become." Worthy of the heir chosen by our Jeanna family. ”

"I'm just lucky, too."

Mrs. Sissi was also full of fear at this time.

She hired Hardy more than a month ago because Hardy was the only option.

At that time, in Hexi County, the only powerful nobleman who could give the Mint family face was Hardy.

And it's probably for Karina's sake.

If Hardy hadn't come with her, she thought that she would have been assassinated by an 'assassin' sent by a certain family on the way.

I can't even go back to Boris.

Inoline said seriously: "Sissi, luck is also the strength of a patriarch, and a patriarch with good luck is more likely to lead the family to prosperity. ”

Lady Sissi was thoughtful.

At this time, Honorine said, "Anna, do you have a way to get out of the city?" ”

Mrs. Anna thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible." ”

"Then find a way to get out of the city, tell Dora, tell Hardy, we can withstand it here for the time being." Inoline thought for a moment and smiled, "Let them not be impatient, just take their time." ”

Mrs. Anna did not move, but looked at Mrs. Sissi.

Because now Mrs. Sissi is the de facto patriarch of Jeanne's family.

Mrs. Sissi thought for a moment and said, "Listen to Mother, and besides, Anna, you have to be careful, don't get hurt." ”

Mrs. Anna smiled, got up and went back to her room, and went to change her clothes.

She is now wearing a lady's long dress, which is inconvenient for her to move.

Less than half a minute after Lady Anna left, the royal guards outside launched another charge.

After more than an hour of screaming and screaming, the Royal Guard once again left behind a hundred corpses and retreated to the rear.

Honorine took advantage of the moonlight to look at the battle loss ratio between the two sides, and couldn't help but admire: "These soldiers from Hexi County are really powerful, and they don't know how to train them. In the absence of the manager, he can be so heroic and tenacious. ”

Honorine's sigh was also a question from the commander of the other royal army.

Obviously, it was only an army of about 200 people from a remote area, and it was able to repel the attacks of the royal guards several times.

It's incredible.

Outside the royal city, Hardy spent more than an hour in the manager's tent before riding back to the high ground in the moonlight.

He was going to take a nap.

He was actually very tired today, transforming into a Nightmare Knight was very mentally draining, and he had to think about the next actions and plans, and he felt that his brain was already a little throbbing.

Lying on the carpet, Hardy closed his eyes and recuperated.

At this time, he suddenly felt that something seemed to be outside the tent, and as soon as the magic sword was taken out, he heard a familiar voice.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

Lady Anna?

"Come in."

Hardy sat up.

Soon, in terms of mental power, I felt that something was floating in from the outside.

Then Lady Anna, dressed in close-fitting clothes, emerges from her 'transparent' state.

She walked up to Hardy, squatted down, put her hands on her cheeks, and her eyes were full of reverence: "Hardy, you are really amazing." ”

"What's so good?"

"Before I came out, I caught a soldier on the city wall and asked about the situation outside."

I see.

Hardy immediately asked, "How's the situation at the manor?" ”

"The soldiers you left behind are very powerful, they have blocked the attacks of the Royal Janissaries several times."

Hardy breathed a sigh of relief.

It is relatively easy to defend according to the geographical advantage. It is not surprising that it can repel the attack of the royal family.

Hadi is worried that the commander is not on the battlefield, and after a long time, the army will be shaken.

"Then Lady Anna came out to deliver Lady Honorine's order?"

"Now the head of the house is Sissi." Lady Anna pouted, "I'm not happy anymore. Sissi is not only the head of the family, but you are still loyal to her. ”

Hearing this, Hardy's face almost wrinkled into a clown mask.

On the days when big things are coming, you actually think about such things?

Hardy ignored Lady Anna's petty emotions and asked, "What news did Lady Sissi ask you to bring?" ”

"Our manor can last for a long time, you are outside, you don't need to be in a hurry, just plan slowly." Lady Anna leaned closer: "That's probably what it means." Also, I was the first to come to you, aren't you happy? ”

As she approached, a faint scent entered Hardy's nostrils.

Hardy couldn't help but lean back and asked, "You are the wife of Lord Victor, you should find him first, why should I be happy?" ”

"I've said it all, Anna has two, and I'm the one who doesn't like Victor."

She smiled and spoke, then slowly approached again.

Hardy subconsciously retreated, but then, he found that his body was a little weak and he couldn't exert his strength.

Suddenly, his face changed.

Then Mrs. Anna saw that his expression had changed, and immediately pounced on him with a 'whoosh'.

Knock Hardy on the carpet.

The two faced each other, and Hardy's eyes were full of chills.

Madame Anna was smiling, and her pretty white face was still shy.

"I've finally got you."

Lady Anna said with a playful smile, but then the smile on her face froze, and then she felt like crying.

Because behind her, there are three sharp ice picks, which are against the back of her neck, mid-waist and posterior tail vertebrae.

The lack of physical strength does not mean that the mental strength will be affected.

Hadi asked coldly, "Why do you want to poison me?" ”

"I just want to hug you, because you won't give me a hug. Also, this is not poison, it is the incense in the tent of the elves! ”
