In the dense forest, the cavalry that had been stagnant for a moment began to set off again, slowly approaching the direction of the imperial capital, the only change was that the leading cavalry changed from two to three.

"Fire, this is the deputy head of the Knights of the Guards, Cook."

Xu Yue followed Kairos's instructions and looked at the middle-aged knight on the left and said politely.

"Hello, under fire."

Cook's gaze stayed on the Fang Tian Painting Halberd held in Xu Yue's hand for a while, and he also opened his mouth to respond, his attitude was quite gentle.

"Along the way, I've heard Kairos mention your record in many places, and your strength is very good."

"Master Cook has won the prize."

Seeing that the two had finished introducing each other, Kairos turned his head and asked Xu Yue.

"Flame, why are you the only one here, Buniel?"

"When I was in Kaidra Town, in order to save a teenager, I boarded Barna's airship, and by chance I was the first to reach the vicinity of the imperial capital, but the monsters on the right side of the empire have been almost cleared, and Bunir and they should be on their way to the Divine Heaven now."

Xu Yue briefly recounted his experience, and before Kairos could speak, Cook on the side reacted when he heard Barna's name, and his brows furrowed slightly

"Barna, the king of mercenaries? Is it convenient to talk about other people on the flyship? ”

Xu Yue nodded, there was nothing to hide about this matter, and Cook would see them soon.

"In addition to Barna, there are Geraint and his sister Aljeta."

"Ranger Geraint."

"These three are all famous figures, and when they came to the imperial capital at this time, it seems that they also came for that thing, but I don't know what the specific intention is......"

The deeds of the three began to appear in Cook's mind, these three people can be said to be not simple people, and they can be regarded as famous in the entire Altria continent, although the reputation of Pingsuri is biased towards the positive, but now it is at the critical juncture of the recovery of the black dragon, these three people suddenly came to the imperial capital.

Cook, who is the deputy head of the Knights of the Guards, can't help but be vigilant, especially since there is also the presence of Ranger Geraint among the three, and this matter must be reported to Captain Bescord immediately.

Thinking of it, he immediately turned his gaze to Xu Yue and spoke solemnly.

"Xinhuo, it is not a trivial matter for these three people to arrive in the imperial capital together, especially in this period, for the sake of the safety of the imperial capital, I must report this matter to the leader of the Knights of the Guards, Lord Bethcord."

"If you may, I'd like you to come with me to meet Master Bethcord."

Cook said quite solemnly, but he did not inform Xu Yue in the tone of an order, but discussed, although nominally Cook was Xu Yue and Kairos was a subordinate, the status of the Knights of the Guards was very transcendent, and it was at the head of all the knights in the empire.

But that's just in name, the real direct superior of the Knights of Glow is General Thorne of the Black Mountain Fortress, that guy is not a master to mess with, that is a reckless man who dares to fight directly in front of His Majesty the King at the Imperial Council, even if many years have passed, but the chaotic scene of flames at that time, Cook still remembers it vividly.

The strong background, coupled with Xu Yue's strength, is indeed good, so Cook is very polite.

After listening to Cook's request, Xu Yue glanced at Kairos vaguely, and after seeing him nod slightly, he responded:

"Of course, no problem, I have often heard the name of Lord Beskord mentioned it, and it is a blessing to meet us now."

"Thank you."

Cook was obviously quite satisfied with Xu Yue's answer, and nodded again and again.

After dealing with Cook, Xu Yue turned his head and glanced at the large number of monsters behind him, looked at Kairos and asked hesitantly:

"Who are these monsters?"

Kairos didn't respond, instead looking at Cook on his left, which was inconvenient for him to talk about.

Noticing Kairos's gaze, Cook understood, and after sorting out his thoughts for a while, he spoke softly, and the tone of his voice was controlled to a range that only the leading three could hear.

"Xinhuo, how much do you know about the Black Dragon?"

"Not much, but I heard that the black dragon's revival is imminent."

Hearing that Xu Yue also knew that the black dragon was going to be revived, Cook looked at Kairos suspiciously, and Kairos shook his head slightly.

Pressing the surprise in his eyes, Cook didn't immediately ask Xu Yue where he found out, but continued to tell.

"The black dragon was born a long time ago, and its specific origin is unknown, but many years ago, the black dragon set off a monster frenzy, intending to subvert the entire continent of Altria, and then under the leadership of the sage Arono, the various races formed a coalition army, and after paying a terrible price, successfully injured the black dragon, causing it to fall into a deep sleep in the dark valley."

"But that's just sleeping, not dying, and now, as the monsters' activities become more and more frequent, they all indicate one thing, the black dragon's sleep is coming to an end, and when it wakes up, it will inevitably set off another disaster that will affect the whole continent."

"Whether it is the prophecy of the elves or the warning from the temple, it shows that the recovery of the black dragon is approaching, and the Black Mountain Fortress, which is responsible for guarding the monsters, has also reported the possibility that the black dragon will wake up many times."

At this point, Cook paused briefly before continuing.

"But His Majesty doesn't believe it."

"Maybe it's because the peace has been going on for too long, or maybe it's just Your Majesty's simple unwillingness to believe that the Black Dragon will just happen to recover during his reign, so in the face of a battle report from the Black Mountain Fortress, and in the face of the frequent alliance requests from the elves, His Majesty the King chose to ignore it, and when Lord Beskode advised His Majesty, His Majesty only called these just alarmist and nonsense."

In the narration, although Cook always spoke of the king as His Majesty, his tone was light and unfluctuating, but his tone fluctuated when he mentioned Bethcord, and Carlos, who was listening quietly, was expressionless the whole time.

"After years of slumber, we have no way of knowing whether the power of the black dragon has decreased or increased, but it is certain that after years of conquest, the strength of the human empire is far inferior to that of the past...... If you are stubborn, after the black dragon recovers, the human empire is very likely to be destroyed under the claws of the monster. ”

"As a last resort, Lord Beth Kod had to come up with a plan to send these monsters to the imperial capital, the cruelty of the Black Mountain battlefield is too far away from the imperial capital after all, perhaps only when His Majesty really sees the hideousness of these monsters, can he wake up, and can mobilize all the forces of the empire to deal with the black dragon disaster that may occur next."

"That's why we're quietly transporting these monsters, we need to use them to wake up His Majesty, and after the Black Dragon Incident is over, Lord Beskod will also confess this matter to His Majesty, and he will bear all the faults."

After that, Cook looked at Xu Yue with blazing eyes, Xu Yue was in awe, and slowly nodded to indicate that he had understood all the reasons.

"Lord Bescord is really worried about the country and the people."

In Cook's whole story, the king is portrayed as a self-serving, ignorant and cowardly fool, while Beskode is a heroic image of righteousness and self-sacrifice for the country, which is a bit true and a little false, Xu Yue certainly knows it in his heart, but he doesn't mind showing some worship for Beskode, after all, in the imperial capital, he needs to use Beskode's power.

The rest of the time was spent in the occasional small talk between Cook and Xu Yue, most of which mentioned Bescord's name, and it was not difficult to see that the person in front of him was a brainless fan.

And Kairos has always kept his iceberg face to the side, not commenting, not interjecting, focusing on a companionship.

Forty minutes later, the cavalry successfully reached a remote corner on the outskirts of the imperial capital, and after properly placing the monsters, Cook looked at Xu Yue.

"Xinhuo, we don't have to worry about this matter, let's go, I'll take you to meet Lord Bescord first."

"Kairos, I'm in trouble here."

Kairos nodded, and after secretly throwing Xu Yue a careful look, he went to deal with the matter of the monster, while Xu Yue followed Cook to the depths of the imperial capital.
