thought that this was a test for himself, a child who was outcast, and then buried the last trace of hope for his relatives in his heart.

Hidden in the delicate carriage in the shadows, a masked woman with bright blonde hair and blue eyes held the hand of the expressionless man beside her.

Under the background of nervous and excited emotions, the woman's fingertips were deeply embedded in the man's wrist, and the blood of the broken skin slowly overflowed and soaked the placket of the clothes, but it could not divert the gaze of the two of them from the figure.

"Do it yourself with this little injury!"

Wisps of blood filled the semi-enclosed carriage, and the woman woke up with a second thought, her eyes full of self-reproach and heartache.

But thinking of the brotherly battle that had just been tacitly agreed, the woman still let out cruel words full of resentment, moved her body and took out the wound medicine from the low cabinet on the side and threw it to the other party.

"His Majesty Alison's letter clearly states that this kid intends to participate in the Battle of the Forbidden City, and the condition we set earlier for the heir of the duke is to win the ranking in this battle!"

"He is so simple and cute, he is a good boy without scheming, and he will never make a move on his own brother because of your title!"

Listening to the man's cold-blooded and ruthless words, the woman immediately glared angrily at her partner who had been with her for many years, and suddenly a very familiar strangeness poured into her mind.

Seeing that the man's eyes were unwavering, without the slightest joy for the loss of his beloved son, the woman only felt a chill all over her body, and goosebumps stood up one after another.

"Duke Andrew, now that the two sides are tense, do you want your subordinates to come forward to coordinate?"

Hearing that the other party moved out of the name of Vlad III, a samurai in bright armor and full armor drove the horse under his crotch to slowly approach the carriage, and respectfully clenched his fists and lowered his head to ask the people in the car for instructions.

"Arrange for them to be stationed in the nearest castle first, and arrange a dinner tomorrow to wash the dust for His Royal Highness Alison!"

The man flicked his blood-stained arm, turned his head to look at the still innocent woman beside him, and after briefly thinking about the pros and cons, he gave the order in the duke's usual solemn tone.

"Charlie Andrey, who gave you the guts to arrange it like this, and even let my son be wronged outside!"

The woman was full of joy and hoped that everyone could return to the castle together, and she made contact with her openly, but she received such a guarded and perfunctory answer, and immediately kicked open the carriage door with a thunderous kick, ready to go and see the current situation of her son.

"Come back, your identity is so sensitive, if you appear in the public eye, all these years of forbearance will be in vain!"

"Andre, you're a bastard!"

Thinking that his only son was not far away, but he had no way to hold him in his arms and comfort him, an indescribable sense of grievance came to his heart.

The woman, who was full of expectations for an instant shatter, waved her slender arm and pink fist, and retaliated by beating Charlie Andre next to her.

Although this cat-like attack can't cause the slightest damage to the purebred wolfbeast Andre, it is the only way for women to vent now!

The first rays of sunlight shrouded over the vast dense forest, and through this lush jungle, among the blooming roses, stood an ancient castle of a modest scale.

The semicircular arches of the round towers, the extensive use of columns, and the various vaults, and the relatively small windows form a strong contrast with the large interior space, making the castle dimly lit and exuding a sense of mystery and darkness.

Accustomed to seeing the small fire of the wooden building, he was shocked by the pure stone building in front of him, and looked at the huge stones that were almost closely connected without any gaps, and the small fire couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the builder!

"Loved it...... I can give you an ancient castle!"

Dressed in a shawl (for the royal family) and a long tunic with a tunic and a floor-length skirt underneath, a thumb-sized crimson diamond hanging from her chest, long wheat-like golden hair, and a golden crown encrusted with precious stones, she walked slowly down the spiral staircase with a smile on her face.

Romanian Empire...... Her Royal Highness Princess Lilian, with a beautiful vision of friendship between the two countries, left her homeland and came to Italy to marry Prince Miller at that time.

Ten years ago, the old king died of illness, and Prince Miller received strong support from his wife's country to successfully win the final victory of the king's war, and Lilian became the queen of Italy.

"Aunt Lilian, why are you here,"

Alison looked at the relatives she hadn't seen for a long time, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and after saluting in a proper manner, she instantly threw away the dignified elegance that a princess should have, like a playful child, and jumped into the arms of the noblewoman.

"Don't worry about my brother, let me take care of you, a bear child!"

Lilian received a letter from the King of the Romanian Empire, intending to find a good match for her daughter Alicent among the top three winners of the Forbidden City, but for the sake of her daughter's happiness, she also wanted Lilian to be the gatekeeper of the elders.

Now that Alison has taken the initiative to come, Lilian, who is in the province, has gone to great lengths to deceive people, and now as long as she quietly endures the end of the competition, her responsibility will be a complete success.

"Xiaohuo, come and see Queen Lilian,"

After a short hug, Alison reluctantly left her aunt's arms, reverted to her elegant and generous princess demeanor, and greeted Xiaohuo not far away.

"Nice to meet you!"

Xiaohuo, who didn't know what to call himself, saw that there were not too many people around, so he consciously omitted a lot of cumbersomeness and bowed directly to say hello.

"Look at the handsome air between the eyebrows and eyes, it is exactly the same as when the Duke was young, poor child...... We'll do our best to make it up to you!"

Lillian leaned over and took Xiao Huo's hand, patted the back of her hand softly to show comfort, turned to look at the attendant on the side and hooked her finger.

The attendant ran very quickly to the shadowy place, and it didn't take long for him to walk out with a beautiful brocade box, looking at his cautious appearance, everyone's curiosity couldn't help but be aroused.

"Aunt Lilian, have you found anything good?"

"Your gift has been placed in the room, this is to celebrate the return of this adult, a sharp weapon made from the 'Holy Sword Shard'...... 'Blade of Light'!"

Lilian slowly opened the brocade box, revealing a sharp sword inlaid with a huge ruby inside, and the cold light it emitted gave people an extremely solemn feeling.

"'Fragments of the Holy Sword'? the ...... of the legendary Arthur Pendragon Sword?"

Alison couldn't believe his ears, this mythical-level 'holy relic' really survived in the world, the kind of treasure that should be enshrined in the temple, and now it was forged into the form of a sword, which simply subverted his three views.

Arthur Pendragon, commonly known as King Arthur, is the legendary Great King of Ancient Britain, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, an almost mythical legend known as the "Eternal King".

King Arthur is rumored to have sun-like blonde hair, a voice more crisp and melodious than a troubadour, and emerald blue eyes.

Arthur Pendragon was chivalrous, kind, upright, loving, loyal, and courteous, but at the same time good at independent thinking and making independent battle plans.

The holy sword, a sacred object made by the elves in the divine domain, reflects a pale green light on the silver blade, the hilt and sword are inlaid with gold, and the luxurious decoration shows the royal style.

"Although it is only a fragment of the 'Holy Sword', its power is the top of the current forging technology, I believe it will be helpful for the competitive competition you are about to participate in!"

Lillian was confident in the power of this sword, even though it was only a third of the 'Holy Sword' fragments, it could not compare to a real artifact.

But for thousands of years, this is also the only artifact that has survived, if it weren't for those ancient mysterious races, I believe that no one would be able to take out the divine blade to compete with it!

"Thank you for the queen's gift, but such a precious treasure, how can Xiaohuo be ...... I'm ashamed!"

From Sister Alison's skeptical demeanor, it is not difficult to see that this thing is definitely something incomparable and precious from their cognition.

In line with the principle of no merit and no recklessness, Xiaohuo first bowed down in a proper manner, expressing his gratitude, and then waved his hand again and again to push away.

"How can the queen's reward be easily disappointed, take it properly!"

Duke Andrey was dressed in a dark purple tuxedo, holding a round-headed steel cane, and his body exuded an incomparably majestic aura and walked slowly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"This is your father, one of Italy's most powerful warriors...... Duke Charlie Andrey!"

Queen Lilian looked at Duke Andre who bowed, a subtle look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she turned slightly to face him sideways, introducing the young man in front of her.

"It's getting late, His Royal Highness Alison is very tired, let's take a rest first, let's take our time about recognizing relatives!"

Feeling the inexplicable resistance of the young man in front of him, Duke Andrey's face was slightly gloomy, and he just wanted to preach as an elder, but after feeling the queen's probing gaze, he reversed the conversation to show concern and intimately asked him to pay attention to his body.

"Your little son looks simple and kind, but he is not a fool, I hope you can protect his share well...... Innocence!"

Queen Lilian, looking at the back of the young man who was far away, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her voice was extremely cold, and the advice given was more like a warning and threat!

For the next few days, Xiaohuo seemed to be stuck in a cycle of eating and sleeping, and the entire castle was filled with servants who spoke foreign languages, except for the queen, Duke Andrey, and the guards who accompanied Allison.

Xiaohuo, who has nothing to do all day, if he doesn't find an acquaintance to accompany him when he goes out, he has to waste a lot of tongues if he wants to drink saliva, in order to please this kind of life as soon as possible, Xiaohuo took the initiative to come to Duke Andrew's study for the first time. Worry-free Chinese network

"I have no interest in inheriting the title of duke, a very important friend is about to participate in the competition of the Forbidden City, I need to form my own force to help him!"

Alison has helped Xiaohuo orchestrate countless reasons to convince Duke Andrey to help Xiaohuo build a strong small army.

But Xiaohuo, who has been instilled with all kinds of chivalrous thoughts by Zhang Lingyun since he was a child, decided to tell the truth in the face of this middle-aged man who was related to him by blood.

Even if he knew that he didn't recognize his identity, the matter was likely to be rejected, and Xiaohuo felt that he had at least kept his bottom line.

"The duke's children, you have the right to choose followers in the barracks, as long as you can gain their approval!"

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your success, I'm going to prepare, and I'm ready to go!"

Andre looked at the hot eyes of the young man in front of him, and suddenly recalled the scene when he was Xiaohuo's mother at the beginning, when he was young and vigorous, and in order to win the attention of the beauty, he also did a lot of ridiculous things.

Now looking at Xiaohuo's persistent belief and the spirit of resolutely daring to face unknown challenges, Andre believes that the friend he cares about must be a stunning beauty with noble character!!

The afternoon sun was bright and scorching, with a hint of sultry heat in the gentle breeze, and the number of gorgeous carriages slowly drove on the way to the 'Iron and Blood Song' Corps.

"This is the information that my aunt asked me to hand over to you, if you want to gain respect from the barracks, in addition to superb martial arts, you must also have the know-how to discern pearls!"

Alison handed out the thick list of people in the barracks who did not belong to either side, but were powerful.

It includes a very detailed description of everyone's behavior and preferences, and dislike and taboos, and in order to prevent Xiaohuo from identifying the wrong person, the portrait of each soldier is also intimately attached.

"I don't know how to thank Queen Liliane!"

Although he has not been able to see his mother this time, Her Royal Highness the Queen is kind and caring, which makes Xiaohuo feel a little warm and relieved in this extremely strange environment.

"Don't have a psychological burden, since you call me sister, my aunt is also your relative!"

Alison comforted Xiaohuo while caressing his neck, the gemstone necklace given by Her Majesty the Queen, expecting to receive a series of compliments, but suddenly found that the person next to him had begun to study the information wholeheartedly.

Alison felt full of grievances and wanted to lose her temper, but when she stared at Xiaohuo's side face and brewed emotions, she was conquered by his focused and serious attitude, Alison took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, calming down her depressed mood several times in a row, and then looked at Xiaohuo with a smile on her face.

Time passed slowly, and the noisy shouts faintly around woke up the small fire that had fallen into deep thought, and subconsciously clenched the blade of holy light on his waist.

Looking at His Royal Highness Alison, who was bright but slightly nervous, Xiaohuo knew that he had now entered the garrison of the corps, and his whole person's emotions were instantly mobilized, and he was very much looking forward to seeing the most powerful ...... 'Iron and Blood Song' corps in Italy.

"Wow ......!"

Feeling the carriage slowly stopping, the sound of the guard's hooves gradually faded away, Alison couldn't wait to push open the door, looking at the dense and sturdy soldiers not far away, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Xiaohuo slowly stepped out of the carriage, observing everything around him in amazement, and when his eyes swept over the soldiers whose eyes and hair colors were different, Xiaohuo subconsciously stroked his long black hair.

"That guy who doesn't have two taels of flesh on his body is Lord Andrew's youngest son!?"

"Hehe, inside the grapevine, that black-haired boy, but he managed to defeat Lord Sindin's awesome guy!"

"Tsk, that adult with eyes above the top was so embarrassed by a thin boy like a kitten, what face will he have in front of us in the future!?"

Several shirtless strong men seemed to be very confident in their own strength, and they did not shy away from mocking the duke's son, not caring at all that they might be retaliated against afterwards, or that the duke would dislike wearing small shoes.

When there is no time to fight, many warriors spend their time boasting about their heroic deeds or ridiculing others about their tragic and hilarious pasts.

Because they belong to the 'Iron and Blood Song' Corps, the most numerous and most concerned are which of the Duke of Andrey's sons will become the future successor.

As soon as Xiaohuo stepped into Italy, the news of Sindin Andre was devastated, and in just a few hours, it spread throughout the entire corps, and for a while, countless banters and lively eyes began to converge on this legendary young man.

"Races that worship force, don't care about their gossip, and prove everything with strength!"

Andre glanced around, everyone's voices were obviously a little more restrained, and he slowly walked to Xiaohuo's side and gave him a pertinent suggestion as an elder.

"Thank you for the advice, I want to go there around,"

For these soldiers who can communicate normally, Xiaohuo has invisibly put down a lot of burdens, in order to attract some partners who are willing to follow him and integrate into the 'Iron and Blood Shengge' Corps as soon as possible, Xiaohuo took the initiative to join the soldiers' weekday training.

Because Xiaohuo's own physique is extremely explosive, many fighters can do their best to complete the project, and Xiaohuo is calm and relaxed to meet the requirements.

After completing many training exercises such as sprinting, weightlifting, frog jumping, and throwing, Xiaohuo's near-perfect results finally attracted the attention of the top three heavyweights in the entire corps.

"I believe that the adults came to the corps on purpose, and they don't just want to show off their strength, right!?"

Dressed neatly and tall, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, the man who walked out of the crowd slowly with a spear in his hand stared at Xiaohuo with an inquiring look in his eyes.

The young man in front of him, although he had a look of inquiry, his unpretentious conduct and approachable aura were completely different from the other sons of Duke Andrey.

"I want to recruit some like-minded people to go to the 'Forbidden War' together...... Become an admired hero!"

Familiar with the manuscript given by Lilian, Xiaohuo came to a simple conclusion, due to the vast and sparsely populated country of Italy, most people have been farming and animal husbandry for generations.

The people's grasp of knowledge is limited to stories and myths passed down by word of mouth, and in order to shorten the distance between them and them, they must never quote scriptures and classics when speaking, and the easier it is to understand, the easier it is to gain the favor of the public.

"The little boy is ambitious, Charles admires it very much in his heart, I don't know if I am lucky enough to be able to talk to you!"

It seemed to ask for the opinions of others, but Charles suddenly released the energy around his body, threw the spear in his hand by himself, and with a slender afterimage across the void, the spear emitting a faint cold light went straight to the small fire!

"It's preparing...... What kind of project are you trying?"

Xiao Huo, who was completely in a state of blindfolding, instinctively jumped up in the face of this unfriendly provocation, and easily dodged the spear attack, but before he could land safely, there was a jaw-dropping scene on the ground.

Charles, who was still in good spirits just now, was red at this time, as if he was extremely angry, and the momentum of the whole person also changed dramatically.

"Click, click...... ，”

As the bones expanded rapidly, Charles's wheat-colored skin began to become rough, the hairs on his body became longer and thicker, the skin on his arms was bruised, and his slender fingers continued to swell and thicken, and sharp claws grew out.

Charles's originally thick hair turned into ashes and dissipated into the sky and earth in an instant, his neat teeth turned into fangs, and his body was gradually elongated into a giant wolf nearly two meters long.

"This guy is too direct, he came up and magnified his move to scare our little boy to death! haha, haha!"

"Since we can defeat Lord Sindein, I can prove that he is in good shape, Charles, come on!"

"Transform, transform...... , fight, fight!"

Charles's extraordinary behavior instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire barracks, and everyone shouted and cheered, prompting this free battle to start as soon as possible.

The news of the prototype battle soon spread to every corner, and Alison heard that Xiaohuo was in trouble, and immediately set off to solve the siege. was stopped by the Duke of Andrey on the grounds that the princess of another country was not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of his own country.

Andre, who didn't want to miss his young son's first transformation, sped up his pace and went straight to the martial arts arena, as excited as waiting for the birth of a newborn.

Xiao Huo, who was under pressure, took a deep breath and suddenly released the powerful aura in his body, and his whole body, like Charles, began to transform rapidly from the inside out.

In an instant, a gray-white giant wolf with a well-proportioned coat and a length of nearly two meters and a fire-shaped fur pattern on the top of its head appeared.

"It's worthy of being my son, and he looks so powerful and domineering after transformation!"

Seeing that Xiaohuo changed his body shape and momentum, he was not inferior to Charles, who had the title of brave, Andre felt extremely proud in his heart, and looked at the two giant wolves in the martial arts arena with a smile on his face.

"Roar ......!" (Come on...... Little Master!)

Although Charles, who has turned into a wolf, has poor speech, his agility and attack strength have been qualitatively improved, and the wildness in his body has been stimulated, showing a more ferocious and violent aura.

"Roar...... (Fair fighting, each according to his ability!)

Xiaohuo, who had already turned into a giant wolf, jumped up and disappeared in place, and before Charles could react, Xiaohuo's huge wolf body had already appeared behind him, and Xiaohuo suddenly swung out sharp claws, hitting the soft underbelly of Charles's back.

Charles, who didn't expect Xiaohuo to be so strong, sensed that it was too late to dodge when he sensed the danger, and hurriedly rolled to the side, only to defuse this sharp blow.
