"Speak less in the future and continue to stand guard." After this chat, Russell no longer missed this town so much.
Unexpectedly, the warm feeling that I wanted to experience after returning to the city was turned away by the guards.
"As you command, my master." The guard seemed to realize that he was really stupid and cursed himself crazily in his heart for being a stupid goose.
Immediately afterwards, Queen Roniel entered the Lord's Hall with everyone and met Safiya and others. After a brief greeting, she hurriedly left with the troops and wolves stationed in Uxhall.
Of course, this was what the Baron had expected, because on the way, Queen Ronnier had secretly told herself that she had a secret mission and that she would leave with her troops and not stay any longer.
The baron looked at the skinny beauty Safiya, whom he had not seen for a long time, and the lazy little dragon Ren, who had just woken up from a dream. He felt warm in his heart and felt that he was finally home.
Just when Russell excitedly wanted to share with everyone all the stories that happened along the way, the damn crow-mouthed guard at the door told him right.
It is true that when I left, no enemy troops came. But when the baron was here, messy things happened one after another...
The baron only heard the noisy sound of horse hooves outside the town, and the shouts of soldiers getting closer and louder. They must be troops passing by.
At this time, the guard at the door who had just been disliked by the baron hurriedly ran over. He ran so fast that his military uniforms were scattered and he looked very slovenly. He reported:
"Report! My distinguished master, Earl Harlan from the Kingdom of Swadia, has personally led his troops here! According to preliminary estimates, their troops number about 100 people."
"Earl Harlan... shouldn't he be far in the north and be captured by Arthur, the brave man of the Kingdom of Nord, in Fort Gilly? I just helped Arthur deal with him before!"
Upon hearing the news, a trace of worry flashed in Drasel's eyes. He knew that Earl Harlan was a strong opponent.
However, the truce and peace treaty between the two countries has not yet expired, so he could not attack rashly when he came this time. For a while, the baron could not guess his true intention.
Moreover, not long ago, I helped the brave Arthur of the Kingdom of Nord capture Earl Harlan, and Gilly Fort and Gilly Village were officially captured by the Kingdom of Nord as Arthur's fief.
Now Earl Harlan is here intact and safe. Could it be that Arthur made a mistake and escaped, or perhaps the two kingdoms negotiated a suitable ransom to release him.
The chief minister on the side, the wealthy businessman Manid also reminded the baron: "Master, the truce and peace treaty between us and the Kingdom of Swadia is still there, which can restrain Earl Harlan's attack.
Besides, maybe he’s not here to attack the city, so I don’t think you need to worry too much, you’d better go and find out first.”
"Well, I know this too. What I'm more worried about is that there are spies from the other side in our town. After all, this kind of situation happened last time.
Now, Emperor Ronnel has just led her troops to leave. We have almost no defenders at the moment, and it can be said that there is no chance of a fight.
If Earl Harlan knew about my situation and came here now, then every move I make in the future will be very passive..."
Recalling the last terrible experience, the disgusting king sent his shadow and a large number of elite troops to surround this place.
At that time, the lives of himself and his companions were threatened, which made Russell now frightened and had to suspect that there were other informants in the town who had not been completely eliminated.
After all, since the opening of the Yanluo Casino, the flow of people in and out of the entire town of Uxhall has increased several times. There are always some secretive spies coming and going. This is also very possible.
Thinking of this, Russell looked around, staring at the people around him, looking from top to bottom, eager to see their hearts.
With his cold eyes, except for those who were close to him, Safiya, Renn, Manid and others, who felt slightly uncomfortable, the rest of them looked frightened.
"Don't worry too much about Dracelle. Let's deal with Earl Harlan outside first. I'll accompany you." At this time, Safiya walked up to the baron and held his arm and said.
"No, it's too dangerous. I'd better go by myself. Okay...you guys wait here peacefully, I'll go check on the situation."
Drasel gently hugged Safiya, then left the lord's hall thoughtfully and thoughtfully.
Outside the hall, the red-blooded horse who had been running all the way was just about to drink water, eat food and rest, when he saw the baron striding towards him again.
"Eh-er." Chixue yelled reluctantly before he was even mounted.
[Red Blood: What are you doing? I want to rest. I said Russell, you are such a ruthless guy!
We have only known each other for a short time, but you are trying to drain my energy! Even if I am a thousand-mile horse, I will still be tired.】
"We are facing a formidable enemy. Just hold on and be good. I'll treat you to a nice meal when I come back! Tell me, what do you like to eat and drink?"
Faced with the arrogance of the red-blooded horse, the Baron planned to use the old-school method of dealing with the little dragon Wren. He estimated that all animals should be similar. They would be docile and obedient if they were fed and drank enough.
"Hey~" The red-blooded horse immediately started bargaining.
[Chixue: Well, if you can add a little honey to my drinking manger, I will be very happy. I like to drink something sweet~]
"Okay, okay, it's up to you. I'll add you tonight! Can we set off now?" The baron shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hey~"
[Chixue: No problem~ What are you waiting for? Come on up~ My hooves are already hungry and thirsty, let’s go~]
At this time, it was not a big deal for the system to join in the fun, and it also went online to complain.
[System prompt: Xiaolong Renn likes to eat steak, and this red-blooded horse likes to drink honey water, which is really troublesome. They are both money-spending masters! Look at you, you have raised a bunch of treacherous things.
.]
The arrival of Earl Harlan had already made the Baron very upset, but now the system started beeping again. He couldn't bear it and retorted:
"That's right! Damn it, I've raised a bunch of treacherous people! And you, the system, you're still a traitor who always bends your elbow to the side of the Queen Ronnier. I'm here today.
I’m going to be annoyed to death by you guys!”
When Russell thought about how he was bothered by these annoying crooks all day long, he only felt a headache, as if he was a cheap escort...
Soon, due to the galloping of the red-blooded horse, Drasel arrived at the gate of the town in an instant. He looked at the majestic Earl Harlan outside the city gate, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
However, after a series of hardships, Russell's mind became slightly more mature. At this time, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and wrote lightly: "Earl Harlan, long time no see. Came here in a hurry, what's the matter?"
"Of course I came to you with something. Could it be that I came to your town, Uxhall, to ask for tea?"
Earl Harlan, who has always been honest and loyal, actually had a lewd smirk when he said this.
"I told you earlier... Come here, prepare good tea for Earl Harlan. He is just passing by here, asking for a drink of water. We can't neglect our guest."
"Hehehe... You are still so humorous, Russell. Do you think I will forget how you treated me last time when you were in Gili Fort and Gili Village!?"
"Just say what you say, don't have this attitude, okay? I have indeed forgotten how to treat you, my friend, why don't you remind me?"
It must be said that the baron's deliberately ridiculing tone angered Earl Harlan. This is also the baron's usual practice of irritating his opponent, causing him to lose his cool and make wrong judgments.
At this time, Earl Harlan could not restrain his anger and stormed out:
"You...you took away my weapon while I was sleeping, and then several people surrounded me and forced me to surrender!
I worked so hard to conquer the castle, I lost so many soldiers, but you took away the fruits of my labor without even a fight!
This made me the laughingstock of the kingdom, and everyone said, I am not as good as you! Damn it, I remember every minute and every second of that time clearly!"
"Ahhh... Now that I think about it, yes, I can freely admit that it was all my fault. I sympathize with your tragic experience, but I don't intend to apologize.
So, why are you here now? I think you should know that I have surrendered to the Goddess Empire. There is still a truce and peace treaty between our two kingdoms."
"Hmph, how could I not remember the truce and peace treaty? But I said last time that if I defeat you next time, I will spare your life."
"But I also said last time that you are worrying too much. There is no such thing as this."
"Dressell...damn it, don't interrupt me!"
"Great, please continue with your damn speech."
Upon hearing this answer, Earl Harlan was so angry that his veins popped out, his eyes widened with anger, and he almost spit out blood from his heart.
It took him a while to calm down a little, and he said through gritted teeth:
"I'm here...for two things. First, it's official business. The Kingdom of Swadia has officially issued a notice and is preparing to spread it to all places on the continent.
Drasel, you were permanently expelled from the Kingdom of Swadia because you molested the princess of the kingdom's nobles and stole the king's dragon and gold coins from the king's warehouse!
You are really lucky that you surrendered to the Goddess Empire before this news spread.
If you make this decision now, I can guarantee that no country on this continent will want a dirty person like you..."
The baron had expected the slander from the Kingdom of Swadia, but when he actually heard such disgusting news, he still couldn't bear the displeasure in his heart.
