Li Ang approached Justus as he spoke: "As for me, of course I'm here to see the battle situation and see when the empire can fulfill its promise... in case the battle situation here is unfavorable..."

Justus smiled sarcastically: "If the battle goes unfavorably and White Deer Castle is not captured, you can follow our army back to the empire, right, Lord Rainier?"

The Knight of Radiant Cross next to him became even more contemptuous.

Moreover, many knights and crossbowmen approached Justus, seemingly uneasy about this 'Rainier'.

Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "Of course! After I finish my work, I have to find a safer place first!... I don't want to face Godric, nor do I want to be surrounded by the kingdom... Besides, the empire promised me

It’s time to fulfill your status now!”

Li Ang pretended to be like that.

This is also in line with Rainier's way of thinking - for his own safety, he first hides in the Bacchus Empire army.

If White Deer Fort fails to be captured, the matter will be exposed. By hiding here, he will not be surrounded by the kingdom and can run away with the army.

But regardless of whether White Deer Castle was captured or not, the Empire should 'fulfill its promise'. After all, his capture of Eledegr was 'finished'.

Justus laughed even harder: "There is still a war at the moment. Only His Majesty the Emperor can fulfill the promise I made to you. I can't do it..."

Li Ang shook his head and approached Justus, seeming a little unhappy: "So, will His Majesty the Emperor come here? The empire must keep its promise, otherwise... I still have thousands of people in Eledeg, and they don't know about us.

transaction..."

Justus understands this meaning - the Bacchus Empire should not even think about crossing the river and destroying the bridge to kill 'Rainier', otherwise the 'thousands of subordinates' of Eledeggo will not know that Rainier is treasonous.

But they are from the Lion Kingdom.

This is to protect Mai Xiangling, and also to protect himself.

In this way, if the spies and scouts sent by the Bacchus Empire did not come back, it can be considered as a 'misunderstanding' - Rainier was not there, and the 'thousands of people' defenders were 'uninformed' and killed the scouts.

This statement should allay Justus' suspicion.

Governor Justus' smile disappeared and he grinned: "What are you thinking... How could your Majesty come here! When the war is over, I will naturally take you to Siyuan City to meet with Your Majesty! Sir Rainier, don't worry, as long as Ai

With Ledaig in your hands, the empire's promise will surely be fulfilled!"

Attitudes change very quickly...

"Then I'll wait here, I don't want to be betrayed... Mr. Governor, we will be colleagues soon, do you mind if I take a rest in your tent?"

Li Ang stretched out his hand towards Governor Justus, seeming to regard himself as 'the Governor who is about to fulfill his promise'.

Don’t treat yourself as an outsider at all…

Governor Justus frowned, but still dismissed the guards with a professional smile, stepped forward and held Li Ang's hand: "Please... eh?"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Governor, you are too polite... Hahaha..."

Li Ang laughed heartily, put his arm around Governor Justus' shoulders and entered the military tent.

Hidden in his hand was a small knife less than the size of a palm. The tip of the knife was stuck on the side of Justus' neck, and the sight of the guards who had just been dispersed was already blocked by Justus' body.

The two subordinates behind him looked at each other and quickly followed in with the dead-faced spy.

As soon as they entered the military tent, the Knights of the Radiant Cross who had been protecting Justus began to whisper again: "Hey... the traitor is still so proud..."

"The only people those poisonous snakes can deceive are this kind of rubbish nobles, who have no sense of honor..."

"Well, these poisonous snakes can be regarded as heroes of the empire... It is always good if we can kill fewer soldiers..."

The sound of their whispering was very quiet, but it still reached Li Ang's ears.

This is not because the lord has any special powers such as Shunfeng Ear...

Mainly because after Li Ang entered the military tent, he immediately lay down in a corner of the tent and observed the knights who were whispering through the gaps.

And he put his hands over his ears and listened intently to their conversation.

In fact, Li Ang was just observing the guards, assessing how to take the hostages away, and eavesdropping was just incidental.

Governor Justus had his mouth covered by two 'servants', and there was a curved knife on his neck - this was the knife hidden in Leon's hand when he held Justus' shoulders just now.

"Sir Justus, send your people away first, otherwise it will be difficult for us to chat."

Li Ang leaned close to the governor's ear and spoke very softly.

He didn't add any threats. Those who can become governor should at least have the advantage of being "aware of current affairs".

"Knights, go and help Sir Rainier set up a tent!"

Justice was obviously not only aware of the current affairs, but also responded quickly. In the blink of an eye, he came up with a reasonable way to spend his time...

Li Ang looked around again and saw that the knights were indeed far away, and then he felt relieved and sat down in front of Justus.

Justus raised his head and looked at Leon carefully: "Young man, you are not Rainier..."

Li Ang smiled and shook the dagger in his hand: "I ask, you answer, don't talk nonsense."

Justus wisely kept his mouth shut.

"You are probably the marshal of this war. Let your subordinates suspend the attack first!"

"I'm not, the marshal is Governor Kairos."

Li Ang and the two lion knights looked at each other: "You're lying to me... You have the biggest tent here!"

"Sir... I just like a bigger tent, isn't this okay?"

Justus was a little aggrieved, but the tent was just a little more luxurious, and he was kidnapped because of it!

Li Ang shook his head and still didn't believe it: "Then why didn't I see the flag of Kairos? There are only two governor flags here, you and Livius!"

"Really, the troops are just divided into two groups. After Governor Kairos arranged the siege troops yesterday, he led the cavalry to Serenmis. In fact, even for this group, the current commander is Livius, isn't it?

I……"

Justus seemed cooperative and emotionally stable.

Li Ang was indeed a little surprised when he heard the news. Is the empire dispatching its entire army?

Li Ang somewhat understands the overall plan of the Bacchus Empire...

This was an all-out attack, leaving the infantry and crossbowmen to capture White Deer Fort. The cavalry, which had little effect in the mountainous area, detoured to Serenmis first, probably hoping to attack Changhe Town from both sides immediately after capturing White Deer Fort.

Compared to King Ulric, the Bacchus Empire had obviously more tricks. It sent spies to deceive the traitors, reduced the kingdom's reinforcements, and lured away famous generals who were good at fighting. It seemed that they were bound to win.

Their lowest goal should be to capture White Deer Castle.

And the highest... there is probably no ceiling.

After all, Governor Kairos took the other half of the army to Serenmis, which means that the Bacchus Empire is probably planning to swallow up the entire eastern region of the Lion Kingdom in one fell swoop.

"You are so generous, but you still go to so much trouble for White Deer Castle?"

Li Ang felt that the planning of the Bacchus Empire was too complicated.

"Trouble? We just sent a few spies to give it a try. What's the trouble...Besides, if we don't capture White Deer Castle, no matter how big our efforts are, there is no point..."

Justus was a little confused.

This is true, as far as the Bacchus Empire is concerned, it is just a matter of sending out a few intelligence officers.

It was mainly Rainier who made this matter very troublesome.

By the way, Rainier will commit treason, but what about his father?

"Baron Eldred of Qicha Fortress, did you also use the same plan?"

Justus shook his head: "Governor Kairos may be in contact with him, but I don't know the details..."

Does that mean there is a problem?

Okay, it looks like there are not many loyal ministers in the Lion Kingdom.

"Young man, your holding me hostage is of little use... I'm just here to cooperate in the battle. The large army is commanded by Livius, and they will still attack the city. If you want a ransom, that's no problem."

Justus said suddenly.

Li Ang smiled: "Ha, is it possible that your Governor Livius has a grudge against you?"

Justus smiled bitterly: "Every governor hopes that other governors will die quickly, isn't it the same for your Lion Kingdom? You kidnapped me just to rescue White Deer Castle, right? But this will make Levi

Yusi attacks harder!"

Li Ang knew that he might be telling the truth - this kind of simple and convenient way to kill political opponents was not something he often encountered.

So the lord sighed: "This matter is easy to solve, don't you just feel unbalanced... Don't worry, I'm a bowl of water! Just 'recommend' me to Governor Livius - two
