An old-fashioned, serious-looking Knight of Judgment walked in, and after saluting Judge Alec, he said, "Lord Inquisitor, the garrison of Cohima City has rushed back, but on the way back, they were attacked by unknown forces and suffered heavy losses. ”

"The kingdom's army is under attack?"

"Yes, Lord Inquisitor, they were attacked only after they had received an impromptu order from an officer named Tasim on their way to us to slow down their march and distance themselves from us, and those who survived among them suspected that Tasim's defection had caused their attack. ”

"No wonder they didn't make it to last night's clearance, it turns out that for this reason, how many people are left of them now?"

Presiding Judge Alec asked thoughtfully, putting his glass down and pinching his chin.

"There are about 500 or so people who have assisted us in our mission in the Forest of Irene, but less than 50 have survived, and those who remain in Kohima City are only some non-combat logisticians, who have almost no losses, and there are about 100 people. ”

"Oh, less than two hundred?"

"Yes, Judge. ”

"Got it, how long will it take for my personal guard inquisition guard to get back?"

"Judge Chief, you can come back before dark today. ”

"Very good, now that the strength of the kingdom's army is empty, we must first get the actual control of the remnants of the garrison in Kohima City, tonight, I want to firmly control the entire Kohima City in my hands, you go down first, and arrange things for me cleanly!"

"Yes, Judge. ”

The old-fashioned Knight of Judgment saluted Judge Alec before turning and walking briskly out of the room.

After Judge Alec watched the knight leave, he picked up his unfinished glass and stood by the window, overlooking the whole city of Kohima.

His face flushed with excitement.

"In the future, the actual controller of Cohima City will be my Alec Charles, as long as this place develops according to the plan, the position of the first judge must be in the pocket of His Excellency Tobyles......! Hilge, I'm going to make you unable to even sit in the position of Seventh Presiding ......Judge!"

Presiding Judge Alec thought to himself.

Suddenly, a raven, covered in darkness and exuding a faint smell of death, landed on the windowsill of the room without warning, like a silent ghost.

Alec seemed to sense the raven, and the moment the raven fell, he forgot his gaze.

"Huh?" Does that 'Apostle' guy have important information to share?"

Alec thought to himself.

Then he walked over naturally, as if he had become accustomed to such things.

Alec grabbed the raven in his hand, and the faint aura of death made him feel a little disgusted.

However, since I have chosen to cooperate, some things can only be accepted.

He carefully untied a small bamboo tube sealed with wax from the raven's feet, and with a flick of it, the raven flew towards the west.

Alec crushed the sealing mud, pulled out the small note of the wooden audience, and looked at the words on the evening with a very complicated expression.

After a few moments, he picked up a magic torch from the table, pressed it at random, and the faint blue flame instantly ignited the note and burned it to ashes.

"'Children of Twilight......'?

————————

Three days later, at the gates north of the city of Kohima.

"Brian, you're really not going north with us?"

Lance and Ike stood at the gates of the city, speaking to Brian, Brooklyn, Gad, and Blakethall.

"No, Lance, thank you for your two life-saving gestures, and I, Brian Aps, will compile your story into a ballad that the world will sing, of course...... These deeds alone are not enough, you have to continue to do some earth-shattering deeds of ghosts and gods!haha......"

Brian quipped.

He then opened his arms to Lance and Ike.

As soon as the three of them hugged each other, Lance whispered in Brian's ear, "Hey...... You still say you didn't have anything to do with Brooklyn, so the hell believes it!"

"I said what's going on in your head, believe it or not, Brooklyn and I really don't have anything to do anyway, I feel like a sister to her. ”

"And you still stay together at night?"

"Staying in one room, it doesn't have to happen, and to be honest, I really feel like Brooklyn is like my family, and I can't put it into words......"

"Nonsense, that maid in the tavern, didn't you also greet you!"

"Don't ...... A little bit ......"

“......”

Listening to Lance and Brian's whispers, Ike was also speechless for a while.

This was supposed to be a slightly sad parting picture, but these two guys discussed these obscene things.

"Alas...... Lance has been spoiled by Brian!"

Ike thought to himself.

He shook his head, he couldn't listen anymore, he quickly pushed the two away, and said loudly: "Okay, we will definitely have many opportunities to meet in the future, and when the time comes, you will close the door and talk slowly." ”

"Cut ......"

"Cut ......"

After Lance and Brian separated, the two of them said in unison to Ike.

In the past few days, every time a similar topic has been discussed, Ike is like this, not at all social.

But there are other people here right now, so it's not convenient to be talking nonsense like the previous two days.

"Alright, Lance, Ike, I'll form a party to find you when I've sent Brooklyn to the Poets' Academy in the capital, or if Gard is coming, I'll come with me. Ha ha...... Isn't it, Gad?"

Brian said the next sentence to Gad.

In the past three days, Brian has become very familiar with Gad.

In the conversation between the two, when Brooklyn was mentioned, Gard suggested that Brian and Brooklyn go to the poet academy in the capital, and special talents like Brooklyn are special talents in short supply in the Southern Kingdom, so as long as Gard is involved, Brooklyn will definitely get the best education.

If Brooklyn is really a talent with the same potential as "Gianna Elegy," as Brian says, then he would have made a lot of money.

In fact, Gard also wanted to bring Brian by his side, but Brian was used to living a free life, so he did not accept Gard's invitation.

However, Brian finally weighed it up, and he still wanted to send Brooklyn to the capital in person, and then go to the border to find Lance and Ike.

"Yes, I have promised you, I am going to the capital anyway, and after settling Brooklyn, if necessary, I will take Blexar to send you to Lance, and they can all be. ”

"Haha...... Or Gad is interesting enough. Alright, if we continue to talk like this, we might as well find a tavern and sit and talk slowly. ”

Seeing that the interest of several people chatting was getting higher and higher, Brian simply ended the topic.

"Gad, Brian, Brooklyn, Blakethall, Ike and I are leaving, and we'll see you at the northern border then. ”

Lance said goodbye to the crowd.

Then the two of them took their bags and rode on the two handsome horses presented by Gad, and galloped towards the north.
