Upon hearing Soger's words, everyone present was filled with surprise.
Mrs. Joyce even exclaimed.
"Quick," Fano and Kahn rushed to Sog's side at the same time, urging in unison: "Quickly tell me what is going on!"
Sog immediately briefly told the story of how he and Roy met.
At the end, he said angrily: "Originally, Deputy Captain Avery and I were going to send additional personnel to protect Captain Roy. However, Mr. Bradley said at that time that it would be better for them to handle this kind of thing. So,
After we handed over the task to them, we ordered the team to return to camp, but just now..."
After listening to Sorge's story, everyone understood why Bradley and Byron were following him just now.
It turned out that after reporting to Adolf, Sog was planning to leave to meet Roy.
But at this time, people from the five major families mobilized in large numbers, and even unidentified strong men were monitoring outside the Grand Duke's mansion. All the elite guards of the Grand Duke's Palace came out, and the atmosphere was tense. As the long knight of the Munich City Guard, this
Naturally, it was impossible for Sog to leave at that time.
While Sauger was assisting the Grand Duke's guards in strengthening security, further news came.
When he heard that these people were from the Bano family and the other four major families, and that they were joining forces to harm Roy, Sogg was already worried.
However, at that time, he was secretly glad that with the protection of the powerful men of Fire Bee Hall, Roy would at least be safer than under his own protection.
At this time, he hesitated in his mind whether to explain Roy's identity to the Grand Duke.
After all, Roy is now a heretic declared by the Holy See. Once his identity is exposed, he may face an endless pursuit by the Holy See.
But just as he was circling back and forth in the open space in front of the main building of the castle, he discovered that among the strong men dispatched by the Grand Duke's Palace, there were figures of Bradley and Byron. And when he counted the strong men of the Fire Bee Hall, there was actually one
It’s all in the Grand Duke’s mansion. This means...
Soge was frightened and anxious, and broke into a cold sweat at that moment.
He immediately found Bradley.
But when he asked Bradley why he didn't protect Roy, Bradley just snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Mr. Soger, please pay attention to your identity and words. There are some things that are not for people like you."
If you are qualified, you just need to do your part."
"You took the initiative to agree to take over the protection mission," Soge couldn't believe it and asked, "Did you ask the Grand Duke for his opinion before doing so?"
Bradley's face darkened and he said: "Mr. Soger, don't you understand how unwise it is to start a war over an ordinary mercenary? Now that we have taken over the matter, there is no need for you.
It's a matter of course. Do we still need to ask you for instructions on what to do?"
"You bastard!" Soge was furious, "I'm going to report it to the Grand Duke, and you will understand. What a serious mistake you have made!"
"Wrong?" Bradley laughed contemptuously, "I have to say, Mr. Soger, we stand at different heights and look at things from different perspectives. If you want to report it, just go ahead.
Only then will you understand who made the mistake."
Sorge turned around and left in anger. Bradley and Byron looked at each other and followed. That's when they broke into the reception room.
After listening to Soger's story, Adolf was already livid with anger.
"Kahn!"
Kahn said solemnly: "Your Highness."
"Arrest Bradley and Byron and put them in jail immediately," Adolf said angrily. "They are not acting on their own initiative, it is betrayal!"
"Yes!" Kahn waved his hand to signal to his men.
"Fano!" Adolf said.
"Your Highness!"
"You and Kahn will take people immediately to find Roy and bring him back safely." Adolf said word for word, "If anyone dares to block it, it will be regarded as a declaration of war on Lulian. Kill him on the spot! If he does,
The Bano family harmed Roy, you should immediately lead troops and surround me where the Bano family lives..."
At the end of the sentence, Adolf's face turned steely: "They think we are afraid of war. I will let the Bano family understand that for this person, I, Lulian, will not hesitate to make the whole world my enemy!"
"yes!"
.............................
.............................
It was quiet in the living room.
The nobles on Scarlett's side were still discussing in low voices.
The sudden intrusion of the Munich Guard knight just now gave the tense atmosphere between them and Adolf a chance to breathe.
Everyone hoped that when Adolf came back, he might be able to calm down and reconsider his position.
After all, it would be unwise and uneconomical to drag Lulian into a war for an ordinary mercenary.
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly saw several wolf-like guards walking directly in front of Bradley and Byron, the strong men of Fire Bee Hall, and detained them.
"What are you doing?" Bradley obviously hadn't come to his senses yet. He shouted in shock, "Why did you arrest me? What mistake did I make?"
The guard captain who executed the order sneered: "Mr. Bradley, you took the initiative to take over the Munich City Guard to protect my important guest Leo from Lulian, but you left your post without permission and concealed it. You put Mr. Leo in danger. What's the matter?
If so, you can wait until the interrogation to say it."
As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Take it away!"
"You," Bradley said in disbelief as he was pushed around, "arrested me for a civilian mercenary? I did this for Lulian's sake!"
However, Bradley's defense was ignored.
He and Byron, who looked pale and equally unbelievable, were escorted out. During this process, several powerful men from the Fire Bee Hall looked at them with eager eyes, so that the two of them did not dare to resist at all.
Hiss! Looking at the two powerful men being taken away, the nobles present couldn't help but take a breath.
Although Adolf was touching his own people, it was from this that they felt Adolf's determination that there was no possibility of compromise!
At the same time, several nobles standing by the window suddenly exclaimed in low voices.
Everyone rushed over.
At this moment, the Grand Duke's mansion was like a boiling pot. Groups of fully armed soldiers, groups of knights, and the strong men of the Fire Bee Hall, led by Kahn and Fano, came out in full force.
And out.
On the castle wall, a trumpeter blew the horn in the light of the magic moon.
At the same time, the alarm bell rang, and a loud arrow that urgently gathered the troops shot straight into the sky, exploding a line of orange fireworks 100 meters above the city of Munich.
orange color........
This scene made everyone present stunned.
Seeing the fireworks coming one after another from the military camps around the city, Scarlett murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible!"
Richard, Oscar and Charles also had their eyes straightened.
They couldn't understand that when the Grand Duke left just now, he only gave a warning and asked his side to withdraw his people, otherwise he would become Lulian's enemy.
But as soon as he turned around, he had already taken action without even waiting for everyone's answer!
"Uncle." Charles was stunned when his sleeve was pulled by someone.
Turning around, he saw that it was his nephew Ansel.
"I suggest that we recruit our people back immediately," Ans Aier said word by word. "Believe me, Adolf is not joking with us. He is not just posturing. He is serious. Moreover, he will not hesitate to
All costs!"
"Why?!" Charles asked in shock.
Ans Aier's eyes were cast at the door of the hall, where Sorg was following Archduke Adolf into the room.
Although there was no reason, when Sog, who had fought alongside him in the fjord, rushed in, and when Adolf's elite men were all out, he suddenly connected the mercenary named Leo with Roy in his mind.
stand up!
No matter how likely this is.
Even if it was just in case, he believed that Adolf would choose to go to war with the five major families!
And when others thought that Lulian had just experienced the war and was weak and could be bullied, he understood better than anyone else that this was a steel knife that had been tempered with fire. Instead of going to war, for the Tomahawk Knights, it was absolutely
It's a disaster.
Moreover, Ans Aier firmly believed that Grand Duke Renault was absolutely unwilling to fall into such a quagmire at this time.
However, Ansel could not tell Charles these reasons.
He just looked seriously into Charles's eyes and said: "Please believe me this time. Regarding the reasons, I will explain to you when I have the opportunity in the future."
Charles looked into his nephew's eyes.
At this time, Archduke Adolf strode in.
"Everyone," Adolf glanced at the faces of Scarlett and others, "if you have considered it, please inform your people as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will have no chance."
After saying that, the old man snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"I will rush to the Huhoupo neighborhood in person now, please help yourself!"
The living room was as quiet as a tomb at this moment. Only Adolf's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
And when they saw Adolf's back approaching the door of the living room, representatives of several noble families looked at each other and suddenly hurriedly chased him out.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment, we will notify our people immediately."
"Your Highness, this is a complete misunderstanding..."
In the silence, Charles smiled apologetically to Scarlett and the others, and quickly led Ansel to chase them out.
"Your Highness the Grand Duke!"
In front of the steps of the main building foyer, Charles caught up with Adolf who was about to mount his horse.
"It's Charles." A rare smile appeared on Adolf's cold face.
He looked at Scarlett and others who were coming out of the living room one after another, and said to Charles, "Is there anything you can do? If it's not too important, let's wait until I get back. Then we can have a drink."
Charles smiled bitterly.
Under Ans Aier's eager eyes, he made up his mind and said: "Your Highness, please stop teasing me. If I wait for you to come back, I'm afraid it will be too late. I must admit that I made a wrong decision.
.Fortunately, my dear nephew reminded me..."
Adolf turned his attention to Ansel.
He knew that this young man from the Renault family had fought alongside Roy in the fjord and was Lulian's hero.
After the war, Adolf met with him and Xia Qing in a private setting. It was clear how these two descendants of the empire's wealthy families came to Lulian and how they set foot on the battlefield by accident.
In fact, this was the main reason why he gave Charles a good look. The Grand Duke Reno, who loyally followed Donald, had no friendship with him!
"It seems that you have made a decision?" Adolf asked Charles.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Charles said, "I will recall the family immediately. And, I hope you can agree that we go to Huhou Slope with you to avoid misunderstandings along the way."
Adolf smiled slightly, got on his horse, and said to Charles and Ansel: "You can follow me."
Charles and Ansel felt relieved, and immediately called for their mounts and got on their horses.
Following Adolf's slight scolding, the war horse let go of its hooves and rushed out.
Charles, Ans El and a group of Lurian lords, escorted by hundreds of guard knights and seven or eight powerful men from the Fire Bee Hall, followed closely behind him.
A group of people galloped out of the castle on horseback and headed towards the direction of the Huhoupo neighborhood.
"Charles!" The scene before him made Richard grit his teeth, "This damn traitor, he actually betrayed us!"
Scarlett and Oscar had uncertain expressions on their faces.
"Princess," Oscar said, "it seems that Adolf is determined. I think we still..."
"Lead the horse!" Scarlett ordered to the attendant, then turned around and said to Oscar and others: "Let's catch up and have a look. Maybe, things are not that bad after all."
She looked at the time and her eyes flashed, "Logically speaking, by this time, the mercenary would have been killed by the Bano family!"
"But isn't that even worse?" Oscar frowned and said strangely, "Once that person dies, there will be no room for recovery!"
Scarlett shook her head and gritted her teeth and said, "That man is the sworn knot between Lulian and the Bano family when he is alive. But as soon as he dies, the Bano family's anger will disappear. They will shrink back and will not fight with Adolf
A head-on collision. Did you see that Iron Dog Duru had ever injured a knight of the Munich City Guard before?"
Seeing Richard and Oscar nodding, Scarlett added: "No matter how angry Adolf is, he will accept this fact and will not start a war with the Banau family because of this. After all, even if he destroys the Banau family, he can't save that person.
His life. And the price he may pay is Lulian’s inheritance!”
When he said this, the horse had already been led over. Scarlett got on the horse and finally said: "After today, our relationship with Adolf may be a little stiff, but as long as we get in touch slowly, there may not be no chance of change. And that man
If you don’t die, we will suffer chaos!”
As she spoke, she shook the reins and was about to urge the horse forward.
Suddenly, a horse came galloping from the gate of the castle. It rushed to her, Oscar and others before reining in its horse and stopping.
Recognizing the knight under her command, Scarlett asked sharply: "Adela, aren't you responsible for observation at Huhou Slope? Why are you here? What happened!"
"Princess!" The glorious knight named Adela quickly dismounted and reported with a worried look on his face.
"The elves and dwarves are at war with the Bano family!"
