"Master, I'm with you. They're here to kill you!" Mimilu replied nervously.

"They? ”

"Master, I heard what they said! they know who you are, and they are coming to kill you!" Mimilu said eagerly.

"Tell me first, who are 'they'?"

"I don't know who they are...... I stayed in ...... that day The place where humans call the 'Great Temple' rests. Because there are very few people there, and the place is very large, there are many plants and flower gardens, so I go there to bask in the sun when I have time. Then I heard someone saying your name. I listened attentively and heard that they were planning to send an army to attack you...... Then many of the troops in the city left and I followed. I've been looking for you everywhere, but I'm glad I finally found you!"

"Army?" Oren learned of his true identity, which was expected. To be honest, since Perrin had fled, Ashrufat knew that he couldn't hide it for long. But the fact that Oren City would send an army was really unexpected. No, it shouldn't be a surprise! Oren has a strong army, and it is only proactive to take the initiative to eliminate the threat!

"Yes, a lot of people...... Lots and lots ......."

"How many?" asked Ashrufat patiently. Half-beasts may have developed quite a high civilization in the past, because they have a good sense of numbers.

"Yes...... Thirty thousand! Yes, there were thirty thousand! I remember talking about it that day! They said there were forty thousand, and ten thousand of them remained, so thirty thousand came out against you. ”

"Thirty thousand!" Ashrufat carefully calculated. Almost, with an army of this size, combined with the combined forces of Shem and Turan, it was enough for them to make up their minds to come to a big war and solve the Greenskin problem once and for all—and kill him by the way.

It was really a lucky thing to have Mimilu, otherwise, this kind of army movement under the cover of heavy rain would be extremely difficult for Ashrufat to find. Maybe you have to go to the battlefield to realize that the enemy is so numerous. But now...... A smile appeared on Ashrufat's lips.

"Mimilu, I'm afraid I'm going to take back what I said before. Looks like I'm not done yet...... Would you like to continue to be my scout?" he asked, touching Mimilu's head.

"Mimilu is happy. Mimilu replied happily.

......

It was already dusk, and it was the moment of leisure after dinner, and the sound of rain outside the window was fading, but the dark clouds in the sky were still thick, covering the whole sky. Those who are sober-minded will understand that this state of light rain does not last long now, and that the rainstorm is only temporarily turned away, and may visit again at any time in a more violent manner.

The castle's council hall was packed. All the mid-level and high-ranking figures in the army are already in place. Even Mader, who was stationed farther away, arrived—his fat frame taking up space between the two of them, his fat buttocks ravaging the chair beneath his ass and moaning with a "squeak".

The presiding officer of the meeting, that is, the actual commander of the army, the Queen Mother, appeared at the meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by introducing this to Sir Comer, Grand Master of the Holy Knights, who has brought some important news. The Queen Mother's hand gestured to a tall knight beside her.

More than one person in the crowd whispered, but in the end there was no serious confusion.

"The first piece of news I brought was bad news. Instead of beating around the bush, Comer gets straight to the point. "Sir Perran's operation failed. All the Holy Knights involved in the operation were killed, and only Perrin survived alone. ”

The bad news didn't have a big impact. Because after all, such a long time has passed, and anyone with a little judgment knows that Peilan's actions are more auspicious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I declare once again one thing: Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is willing to accept Oron's help, and we will fight side by side against the Greenskinned Orcs. Because of her trust in the Holy Knights, she is willing to entrust her supreme command to her subordinates for the time being. ”

This remark caused quite a commotion in the crowd around the sitting. People looked at the Queen Mother, who acquiesced to Comer's words. Because everyone was quite surprised, almost no one noticed that Maider, the supreme commander of Turan's reinforcements, was staring at Comer at the moment, and a hideous look appeared on his fat face.

Comer didn't notice Med, because there were so many people in the meeting that he couldn't have noticed them all. He began to give a rhetorical speech that repeatedly emphasized the selflessness of the Holy Order and the Church, and the need for everyone to work together to face the crisis. And, of course, there are the stirring promises that all such speeches inevitably refer to, such as "we will be victorious".

After this speech, the Queen Mother began to take Comer to introduce everyone present one by one. Round by round, it was time to introduce Mader.

Maide's expression was not normal at the moment, but there was more than one person who clearly expressed confusion and uneasiness on his face at this time, so Comer didn't pay much attention to it. After introducing Mader's identity, Comer shook hands politely like everyone else, but when he wanted to withdraw his hand and come back, he found that Mader was holding his hand tightly and refused to let go.

Although this accident did not make Comer lose his temper, it was enough to make his expression change.

"I don't know if Grand Master Komer still remembers my face. Maed asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time we've met. Comer replied.

"It's true that we're meeting for the first time, but Grand Master Comer should remember my face. Maide replied, hiding all his mood swings with a blank face. "Because my family always said that I looked alike with my eldest brother. ”

This sentence made Comer stunned, and unconsciously carefully looked at Maider's fat face. It must be noted that fat faces like Med's are really rare, and the more Comer looks at it, the more familiar it becomes, but he still can't remember where he saw this face, he just muttered there.

"It seems that Master Comer is a noble man who forgets things," Maider said politely, but everyone present could feel his hostility. "You may remember when you were in the forward of the coalition forces on the expedition to Kalean...... The one who commanded the advance troops was my eldest brother. ”

Comer finally remembered. It's the one who was the most stubborn and the one who led to the annihilation of the army! Maide was right, the two brothers were very much alike—in fact, they were twins.

"It's a shame, your big brother...... He fought very bravely, but unfortunately he was killed by vampires......"

Maider's hand clenched violently before he shook it off.

Troublesome fellow! Comer mentally made an assessment of this fat man. After he retreated alone that day, it must have caused a lot of controversy. Although he has successfully completed his task and made great contributions to the church, he must have received a lot of bad reviews from the Turanian people. The main force was completely annihilated, but one of the holy knights fled alone in fear of the enemy...... As a result, it is inevitable that the Turanian people will be hostile or discriminated against.

However, even if you are unhappy, you can't express it. The Turanians had more than 10,000 cavalry, which was a very valuable force in future wars. At the moment, I can only try my best to appease this fat man.

Comer smiled with the best possible kindness, and then the Queen Mother led her way to the next person. He didn't notice that Maid was staring at his back, the look that had gone beyond disgust, but hatred.

After the meeting, Maide went straight back to his room in the castle next door. Since these castles were designed and built with "livability" as the first goal, the overall room layout is very reasonable, and the interior is quite delicately arranged, which shows the ingenuity of the builders. If it weren't for the danger of fighting at this time, this would really be a good place for a vacation and recreation.

Maed sat down in a chair in the room, and after a few minutes of restlessness, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Myder cried impatiently, but it was none other than his old servant.

"Young Master...... You seem to ...... Got something on your mind?"

"Uncle, I was looking for you. You sit first. Maider gestured to his chair. This old servant is a loyal subordinate who has taken care of his brother since he was a child, and in his heart, he can be regarded as a family, and 'uncle' is his honorific title.

"Can you say it again, my eldest brother's last moment?" said him politely when the old servant sat down.

"Young Master, that ...... The eldest young master ......"

"I want to hear it again. If you look closely, you will see that fine beads of sweat are oozing from Mader's chubby face, and this is not due to the sweat of the hot weather, but the intense feelings in his heart.

“...... I remember that day, it was unusually hot......" the old servant began to tell the story that had been told many times. “...... The eldest young master encountered the main force of vampires in the desert...... At that time, the sound of gunfire, artillery, and shouts of killing shook the entire desert...... Your eldest brother commands the battle calmly, and I am not far from him. I remember looking at that time, there was no sand in the desert ahead, all of them were zombies, they far outnumbered our army, and they were not afraid of death. Even I could see that the front line was in jeopardy...... Your eldest brother has worked hard to mobilize his troops and fight hard......"

"But at this time, Kalean's Blood Knights suddenly appeared on the flank...... It was too late, and the vampires broke through the hussars' resistance in the blink of an eye. In times of crisis, your eldest brother orders the Holy Knights who have not been on the battlefield to attack. If the Holy Knights follow the order and attack in time, then if they can't defeat the vampires, they can at least delay for a while and let the musketeers form formation. Thus giving the vampires a head-on blow. ”

"But Captain Comer of the Holy Knights has had an argument with your eldest brother before. It was supposed to be just a minor dispute between the two sides with different opinions, and it was natural for the subordinates to obey their superiors, but Comer held a grudge and plotted revenge. Seeing that the battle situation is not good, while your eldest brother is engrossed in preparing to face the vampires and has no time to care, he quietly flees with the magicians, and even captures the herald who conveys the order, so as not to let your eldest brother detect his betrayal in time. ”

"In the time that your eldest brother has waited in vain for the Holy Knights, the vampires have broken through the army and routed the musketeers. The betrayal of the Holy Knights caught your eldest brother off guard, and by the time he found out, it was already too late. Your eldest brother has made a noble choice to lead the guards in the most relentless efforts, but his guard is only a hundred men, and the Blood Knights are a hundred times more numerous. Your eldest brother fought valiantly, was outnumbered, and was killed by the vampires. I was supposed to be with him, but I wasn't a warrior, so I hid in a bunker and covered myself with a cloak and escaped for my life......"

The old servant choked up as he spoke. "If it weren't for the betrayal of the Holy Knight, your eldest brother would never have ......"

"I saw that Comer today!" Maider said through gritted teeth.
