After dealing with the scourge of the Dryad, Lu Ming was happy in his heart. When I returned to the City Lord's Mansion, I found that it was already crowded with people, and hundreds of refugees had been brought here.

A group of soldiers began to build improvised houses, which only served as shelter from the wind and rain for the refugees to live in.

The City Lord's Mansion is in a beautiful environment, and the refugees seem to be very happy, and being able to live in a place that they usually don't dare to think of is worth it in this life.

Betty couldn't stand them anymore, so she took Amelia to find another mansion, and of course the patrolling soldiers followed.

Lu Ming had to select twenty strong soldiers from the 10,000 people he brought with him to be responsible for the safety and order of these refugees.

Jennifer's mother and son became the object of special care, and they lived in the best place, that is, the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

In order to appease Betty, Lu Ming deliberately cooked a table of good dishes to excuse himself.

"You mean there's a dryad in that manor?"

Betty asked lazily as she ate delicious food and snuggled up in her lover's arms.

Lu Ming leaned on a recliner and wrapped his arms around the little princess, enjoying a moment of comfort in the war.

The beauty closed her eyes tightly, quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping fairy. The eyebrows are curved and the red lips are seductive. Lu Ming was stunned for a while.

Amelia came from outside, and when she saw this scene, her eyes were full of envy instead of jealousy. She thinks that her love for Lu Ming is not as good as that of Her Royal Highness the Princess, although she shined in this war and has a small fame and status, but she remembers that all this was brought to her by Her Royal Highness the Princess. All thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Your Royal Highness, there is a group of mercenaries outside the city. ”

Betty still didn't open her eyes, "Isn't it just a mercenary, what's all the fuss." ”

"Your Highness, they are no ordinary mercenaries, their regimental leader is called Daphne. Amelia continued.

Betty suddenly opened her eyes, hurriedly left Lu Ming, and quickly walked outside the house.

Lu Ming got up for some reason, Daphne, could it be that she is here too?

"What's going on?"

Amelia smiled: "Her Royal Highness the princess has long expected that Daphne will come to help, and Her Royal Highness has always been at odds with her, so she wants to take revenge. ”

"Nothing will happen, right?" Lu Ming is one head and two big, and these two seem to be natural enemies. So he hurriedly followed.

There was a group of mercenaries standing outside the east gate, they were all dressed in gray robes, and counted carefully, there were sixteen people in total, most of these sixteen people were young, and the oldest was less than forty years old.

The first person is Daphne, whose blonde hair resembles golden waves in the reflection of the sun, and her pointed ears show the beauty of the elves.

There was a little girl standing beside her, naturally Celia, who stood there calmly with a hint of worry in her eyes.

The other fourteen waited respectfully, not daring to say a word, and seemed to have great faith and respect for Daphne as president.

"Why haven't you opened the gates?" said Daphne with a frown.

One of the commanders of the city wall was just about to answer, but he saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess, dressed in regular clothes, had already come to him, and hurriedly bowed down to salute.

With a playful smile on her face, Betty walked to the front of the city wall, just in time to be seen by Daphne and the others.

"Who is standing down there?"

Faced with such a knowingly question, Daphne didn't know that this was Betty's trick. So he cleared his throat.

"I'm Earl Lu Ming's aunt, I don't know which one you are?"

Betty was suddenly angry, Lu Ming's aunt, didn't she want to call her aunt herself?

The soldiers guarding were confused, the Earl's aunt was an elf, could it be that the force behind the Earl was an elf?

"What evidence do you have?" asked Betty again.

Daphne Jiao smiled: "There is a black mole on the left side of Lu Ming's buttocks, I don't know if what I said is right?"

Betty's face turned red instantly, and she was embarrassed to take out the things on the bed.

At this time, Lu Ming walked over with a black face, and there was a black mole on his buttocks, he didn't know about it, and if he wanted to let the two of them entangle, he might say something embarrassing.

"Open the gates!"

The Earl had an order, and the soldiers had to obey. Daphne and her mercenaries entered the city without incident.

Daphne, as the president, arranged the rest of the team members, and then took Celia to find Lu Ming and the others.

Celia saw Lu Ming from a distance, lowered her head and hid behind Daphne, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lu Ming took a deep breath, walked over slowly, and reached out to gently stroke her head.

Celia wept with joy, without the anger she had imagined, and the gentleness of her master caught her off guard. Unable to suppress her excitement any longer, Celia threw herself into her master's arms and wept bitterly.

"The slave is so afraid! I'm afraid that the master will never want a slave again!"

Lu Ming also felt uncomfortable in his heart, "It's my mistake, and escaping is not the right solution." ”

Daphne and Betty consciously left time and space to the two of them. Turn around and come to another room.

"Why are you here?" Bette questioned.

According to the agreement, Daphne has been in possession of Lu Ming for a while, and if she comes here again, she will compete with her.

Daphne said seriously: "War is not a trivial matter, and I also want to contribute to the Duchy of Posei. What's more, there is an elven country in the south of the Duchy of Sain, and it's time for Lu Ming to meet them. ”

Time flies, and three days have passed.

Reunited after a long absence, Daphne was enthusiastic, as if she wanted to melt Lu Ming. These days are basically a life without shame.

The corpses on the battlefield had been cleaned up, and the enemy soldiers had been buried en masse in a place far from a water source. The bodies of their own soldiers were buried on the outskirts of the western part of the city, and stone monuments were erected to commemorate them.

Order was gradually established in the city, the perpetrators were arrested, and the spies with bad intentions were executed. After the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain, the refugees were also stabilized.

Daphne has a lot of experience and has many years of mercenary career, and she knows that these mercenaries are the least afraid of other people's threats, so she has friction with the defenders from time to time. But the mercenaries are not united.

So in order to alleviate the pressure on Betty and others, Daphne used tricks to sow discord between several mercenary groups, making them suspicious of each other and even fighting. In this way, there is no longer energy to fight with the defenders, and instead the defenders become the target of the fight.

Because whoever has the support of the defenders will have a high reputation, and they will also have many conveniences in the city.

The city is just a transit point for these mercenaries, and they will continue to fight with the army in the next step, killing the enemy and receiving a bounty.

Just as everything was in order, a huge crisis was looming.
