Seeing his own Saint Realm mages defeated and fled, the morale of all Faun soldiers was greatly reduced. On the other hand, on the side of Miro, all the soldiers were full of morale and high morale. This became a straw that overwhelmed the fighting spirit of the Faun Army. Under the flanking attack of the Miro army, the Faun finally began to rout.

Deserters began to appear on the battlefield, no matter how the Warn Legion's Warlord scolded, they couldn't stop the retreat of their own soldiers, General Shakel closed his eyes in despair, in this case, no matter what kind of famous general, the wise general was no longer able to save the situation of the war, and he had done his best, but the destiny of heaven did not bless Faen. He sighed deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, it seemed to be much older all of a sudden. He calmly said to the adjutant beside him, "Prepare to retreat." ”

The Faun Empire's invasion of the Miro Empire ended in a crushing defeat, and the Faun invading army was flanked by the Demon Hunter Legion led by the Marquis of Dick and the Miro Legion led by the Fourth Prince Longer in front of the city of Millrok, and was completely defeated.

The pursuers of the Miro Empire rode war horses and chased and slashed the fleeing Faun soldiers with long knives, until the swords were curled up and the blood flowed like a river. Of the 450,000 Faun soldiers, there were only 100,000 left who were able to escape back to China, and more than 300,000 Faun soldiers left their blood and corpses in a foreign land.

While the Miró soldiers, who were cleaning up the battlefield, piled up the corpses of the enemy soldiers for centralized cremation, the corpses of the Faun soldiers piled up a mountain that was hard to look up to.

The three empires on the Karimodan continent have suffered a great loss of vitality in this year's war, and the three empires currently have no strength left to wage war again, so the continent has entered a period of peaceful recuperation, however, the bloody sacrifice of millions of soldiers has planted the seeds of hatred, will the war stop here?

Dick followed behind the court envoys through the palace's pavilions, through the carved balustrades, bypassing the Great Hall and avoiding the Imperial Study, where Zuihou stopped in front of Edward VII's bedchamber.

The palace envoy saluted Dick slightly and said, "Lord Dick, please stay here later, Bixia is not well, and is now resting in the dormitory, wait for me to go in first and report it." ”

“haode。 Dick said. He remembered what Sna had said to him, and that Edward VII had apparently been wounded by a stray arrow in the battle before Celeste, and had not yet recovered. The emperor is sick in bed, and now the battle for the heir is probably going to be more intense. Dick thought so in his heart.

At this time, the palace envoy came out of the dormitory again: "Bixia said that you can go in. ”

As soon as Dick entered Edward VII's bedchamber, he immediately smelled a strong smell of medicine. The dormitory is very large, and there is a large table of nanmu by the window facing the door, which is full of pen and ink, and there are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Several oak cabinets carved with delicate patterns are placed on the walls, on which some jade and antiques are placed.

Edward VII's couch was on the left side of the room, and the former heroic emperor Bixia was now lying on the bed with a pale face, with two soft pillows behind him. Princess Arya sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of strong-smelling decoction in one hand and a jade spoon in the other, carefully feeding her father, and the little prince Mit, who always loved to follow her sister, was still by Arya's side at the moment, he was squatting on the edge of the bed, his elbows on the bed, and his little face resting on his palms, looking up at his father.

"Bixia, Wechen Dick is here. Dick said cautiously.

Edward VII, who was half-lying on the bed, immediately said: "Come and talk." ”

Dick walked to Edward VII's bed, and the little prince Mitt immediately got up and walked aside. Princess Arya nodded to him. Dick saluted Edward VII and said, "I wonder why Bixia summoned Wechen?"

Edward VII took a sip of the medicinal soup and said, "I regret that I did not listen to your advice and abandoned Faun to attack Shuth, and caused my Miro Empire to fall to this point. Ahem......"

In the middle of speaking, Edward VII suddenly coughed violently, and Arya quickly patted him gently on the back to help him even out his breathing.

With the help of his daughter, Edward VII immediately said: "The despicable wolf ambition of the Faenn is to embezzle my Milo and reap the profits of the fisherman, which is truly hateful!"

Dick was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent: "Bixia is eloquent and strategic, and there will definitely be a chance to be ashamed of today in the future." ”

"Well said!" said Edward VII, "Dick, this time it is also thanks to your King Qin's rescue that I am not from being swallowed by Faun. I, Miro, have a man of wisdom and courage like you, so why can't I be ashamed!hahahaha......"

Bixia Miao praised, Weichen just did his best. Dick said modestly.

Edward VII restrained his smile, sat up straight, and said loudly, "Dick listens." ”

"Your Minister!" Dick said solemnly.

Edward VII said solemnly: "You have made great contributions to the rescue of King Qin this time, and you have been specially awarded the title of duke, and the territory is the entire twelve provinces in the southwest! ”

"Thank you, Bixia!" Dick bowed again.

Edward VII took another sip of the decoction and said: "Also, my country's Miro Legion has suffered a great loss of vitality after this battle, and before reorganizing the Miro Legion, I hope that your 150,000 Demon Hunting Legion can stay in the imperial capital and guard the Jingshi." ”

"Yes, do as you command!"

Edward VII then had a conversation with Dick for a while, and the topics were nothing more than the current situation on the continent, the wars that had taken place in the three empires in the past few months, and the affairs of the two princes.

What made Dick particularly attentive was that Edward VII mentioned the name Grecia many times, with a touch of regret and sadness in his tone, but there was also an unconcealed appreciation. Dick of course knew that Grecia was the leader of the Crusaders of the Holy See of Light, that is, the person who defeated Edward VII in the Battle of Thuphaster, and when he heard Edward VII mention this person at this moment, he couldn't help but pay attention to this name in his heart.

After a few more conversations, Edward VII waved Dick away.

Dick walked out of his bedchamber and was about to return home, to visit his new duke's palace, to be precise.

Just then, he heard the sound of running behind him. Dick turned around curiously, only to see that it was the little prince Mitt who had trotted all the way behind him.

Dick bent down and whispered, "Is there anything else you have to do, Your Highness Mitte?" He knew that the boy was shy and introverted, so he did not speak loudly, so as not to startle him.

"Master Dick...... Thank...... Xiexie!" Mitte's little prince's face turned into a big red cloth, but he still insisted.

"What do you want to thank me?" Dick felt a little puzzled.

The little prince of Mitt took a deep breath and said in one breath: "Xiexie, you defeated those hateful Faennes, and the doctors and priests who came to treat my father said that my father was suffering from heart disease, and he was still haunted by the battle of Huvvester in his heart, if you did not defeat the Faenns, the imperial capital Mirrok would probably fall." Although my father can escape, his illness may be worse. That's why my sister and I want to xiexie you. ”

Sister, I'm referring to Arya.

"I see. Dick smiled, "No thanks, it's just the duty of a courtier." ”

When the little prince got Dick's reply, he immediately smiled happily, and after saluting Dick, he ran away in a hurry.

Dick sighed in his heart, what a kind and lovely child, so for the sake of his father, on the other hand, the eldest prince Yorkson and the fourth prince Long'er, they are probably busy fighting for power and profit at the moment, how can they care about their father?

The court envoy led Dick out of the palace and then led him all the way to the Duke's Palace, which had been given to him by Edward VII. Then he gave a salute and went back to the palace.

The Duke's Palace is located on the most prosperous and lively central avenue in the imperial capital, only four or five miles away from the palace, and even in this area where every inch of land is valuable, the Duke's Palace is still huge, at least three times the size of the original Marquis' Palace.

Snow-white walls, golden glazed tiles, red carved dragons and phoenix columns. The wooden-clad iron gate, which was four meters high, was now open inward, and a large group of servants stood on either side of the gate, welcoming their master. Walking up the snow-white staircase, Dick came to the gate of the mansion, and immediately a servant stepped forward to take off his coat and hat for him.

Dick walked on and walked into the gate of the mansion, which was filled with a vibrant lawn dotted with flowers. A white gravel path leads to the front of the reception room.

The reception room is followed by exquisite guest rooms, lavish bedrooms, elegant study and a spired mage tower.

Dick smelled power in this piece of luxury.

A dimly lit chamber with no windows, only a dim glow of a torch made of whale oil stuck in the wall that crackled and crackled. The chamber is small, with a table and two chairs. The Fourth Prince, Long'er, sat alone on one of the chairs, his fingers tapping lightly on the back of the chair, as if waiting for something.

After a while, the darkness in the secret room distorted, and suddenly a figure in a black robe appeared, and as soon as the figure appeared, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, we have obtained the information you wanted. ”

"Bring it quickly," Longle urged, "and the money will be withdrawn from my account office in a moment." ”

The black-robed figure pulled out a stack of materials and placed it on the table in front of Long'er, then pulled out another chair and sat down straight.

On the first page of the information is a portrait of Dimichra.

Longer couldn't wait to open this thin stack of materials.

Name: Dimihera

Gender: Female

Height: Unknown

Weight: Unknown

Identity: The military advisor of the Duke of Dick of the Miro Empire

Date of Birth: Unknown

......

The more Long Er looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and when he reached Zuihou, he simply took the case: "This is the information I paid 10,000 gold coins in exchange?"

"Please calm down, Your Highness. Listen to my explanation," the black-robed figure said lightly, "The identity of this person you want to check is somewhat special, and someone has crossed a million gold coins to encrypt her identity, so we can only provide you with this information." ”

"A million gold coins!" Longle gasped, although he was a prince, Edward VII was very disciplined, so he didn't have much money on hand.

Longer said in a deep voice: "Who is the person who encrypted her identity?"

"Ten thousand gold coins. The black-robed man said lightly.

"Deal. ”

"It's the Duke of Dick. ”

"This guy!" Long'er gritted his teeth, but then he calmed down and said to the black-robed figure, "If it's okay, you can go." ”

In a strange laugh, the black-robed figure disappeared into the shadows of the secret room. Longer sat there in a daze, and after a while, he reached for the information, his fingers gently rubbing the portrait of Dimichra, his eyes full of obsession.
