Chapter 261 The Night Comes (Part )

Inside Archduke Lennon's tent.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, so you have to be careful." Winniston whispered to Lennon.

"Don't worry, the person who can kill me is not here yet, but you will have a heavier burden when you go back."

"He's just a Pompeian. How can he be compared to Passatello?"

"Don't underestimate King Pompey.

Over the years, he has built Pompeii like an iron wall, and his strength has been steadily increasing. Now he is the first kingdom, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. "

Lennon said solemnly.

"Besides, the snowy region is bitterly cold, and the warriors are known to be elite. You must be extra careful."

"Is this your concern for me?"

"Calculate."

"Oh, I wish you had said it earlier."

Lennon hesitated and said softly, "I'll bring you two thousand cavalrymen."

"No, I'm only taking my trusted people back with me. You need them more than I do." Winniston shook her head.

"With Her Highness Rovna here, warriors are no longer that important."

"It's settled. This is the main battlefield and we can't afford to lose anything."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Lennon nodded silently.

"Winnie, you have to be extra careful with Zagoratos. His strength has almost reached the Apocalypse Realm."

"Wish me luck."

Winniston looked at Lennon deeply and turned away.

Lennon looked at her back with melancholy.

"Ugh!"

A sigh came from inside the tent.

It was a day later when Raven returned to Lentini.

He had just entered the city gate and was stopped by Sean before he could even take a step.

"Raven, we are in big trouble." The uncle said with a headache.

"What happened again?"

Raven felt like his head was about to explode. There was always something going on every day and there was never a moment of peace.

“Just after you left the day before yesterday, a group of uninvited guests came to the city.

The leader of these people is Feige, the son of the Minister of Finance, who recruited our guards in the name of the Shining Night Legion. "

"The Yaoye Army? Is it the new army formed by His Majesty? It is said that they are all children of wealthy nobles."

"That's right. According to Figo himself, they are fighting the Kingdom of Pompeii.

Because of the shortage of men, they are going to draft our guards into the legion locally."

"Fuck, who do they think they are?" Raven glared.

"Besides, isn't the Yaoye Corps' battle zone in Susses Territory? Why are they being recruited to Lennon Territory?"

“It’s unclear, but they have the official call-up order in their hands.

According to Dante's decree, we must obey each other."

"You're just being obedient," Raven sneered, "There must be something fishy going on here. Let's go meet them."

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, three arrogant young men sat in the main seats, drinking water and chatting.

When they saw Raven come in, they just raised their heads without any reaction.

It seemed as if he was waiting for Raven to take the initiative.

Raven didn't bother to pay attention to them and just stood with his hands folded watching their performance.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

"Hmm, you are Raven?"

Finally, the leader, Fei Ge, couldn't hold back any longer and spoke.

He was here to recruit the other side, how could he continue without speaking?

He thought that the other party was just a small lord and would definitely flatter him after learning his identity. He didn't expect that the other party dared to put on airs, and he immediately became furious.

"You're sitting in my seat, get out of the way." Raven waved his hand.

boom!
Feige slammed the table hard: "Raven, do you have any sense of superiority or inferiority?"

"This is my territory. I'm on top and you're on the bottom. Do you want me to say it again?"

"you!"

Raven summoned a ball of chaotic fire in his hand and immediately threw it at Feige.

Feige screamed and jumped away quickly.

Huh, the fire of chaos did not explode, but decomposed in the air.

Raven sat down in Figo's seat and said:

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, say it quickly."

Clang!
Feige had already drawn his sword and said through gritted teeth:

"Raven, do you believe I will kill you?"

"Hesa!" Raven shouted.

boom!
The door opened, and a large group of wolf-like and tiger-like intelligent orcs rushed in and surrounded the three people.

"Boss, are you going to chop them off?" Hesa ​​said with a grim smile.

"You...what are you going to do?" Feige was shocked.

If the other party takes action, the three of them will really be killed.

"I am the son of the Minister of Finance."

"Raven, how dare you! We are all from famous families, how dare you do this to us?"

Sari also shouted, his chest heaving violently.

This kid is really going too far.

Raven had an impression of him, and the two had met once at the Bolton Crystal Field.

"hehe."

Raven smiled.

"The descendants of famous families I know are all very well-mannered. At least they don't pee in other people's homes like dogs and take up space. Don't you think so?"

"you!"

Sarri was furious, he narrowed his eyes:

"Do you really want to offend our three families?"

"You are the ones who came to see me, so just say what you want to say. I have limited time."

"Now, Sally, don't bother with him."

Fei Ge took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice:

“I am the captain of the Yaoye Army. We have been fighting a bloody battle with the Pompeii Kingdom and have suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, in accordance with Dante's Decree, I am calling you to serve my country from today on. This is the call to arms."

Figo pulled out a piece of parchment.

Raven took it, and it was stamped with the Burning Power Mark.

He looked at it and suddenly laughed:
"Why doesn't your conscription order have a date? And these marks are a long time old. Are you trying to trick me with a fake one?"

As a heavenly magician, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the burning power mark on it.

"You... are talking about nonsense!" Fei Ge was shocked.

How did this guy figure that out?

"You admitted it?"

"What am I admitting? The mark on it is genuine."

"I didn't say the seal was fake. I said there was something wrong with this conscription order."

Raven smiled.

"Considering your identity, I guess that this conscription order was made by your father in private, just to facilitate your recruitment of troops.

In fact, this thing is not registered with the military, am I right?"

"Nonsense! How do you know it's not on record?"

"I don't care about you either. If you want to recruit soldiers, then bring the official conscription order."

"Raven! Don't try to make excuses!"

Sari suddenly shouted.

"No matter what, these are issued by the military. They are valid whether they are registered or not. Do you dare to violate them?"

To be honest, he was a little anxious.

He had seen Lentini's guards along the way, and to be honest, he could only be described as shocked.

Their most common fighters are of high level strength and are armed to the teeth.

Not only that, they also have hundreds of powerful intelligent orcs, and even musk men!

This doesn't look like an earldom, even a marquisate would be like this.

If they could control these soldiers, they could turn the tables and redeem themselves for their crimes.

In fact, their army was defeated by the Kingdom of Pompey in a battle just a few days ago.

According to Loran's original plan, they were responsible for pursuing a group of Pompey's defeated troops.

At first everything went well and they made great gains, but then the retreat was called.

According to the order, they should have turned back immediately, but they were eager to make a contribution and did not obey the order, so they mistakenly fell into Pompey's encirclement.

In that battle, they lost 70% of their men and were chased by the Pompeys all the way. They only found safety after fleeing into Lennon's territory.

Therefore, they had to forcibly recruit these soldiers in order to turn the situation around.

"So I have to obey?"

"Humph, of course, the mark on it represents His Majesty."

"Don't forget to flatter yourself."

Raven laughed disdainfully.

"Let me tell you, I have been recruited by Grand Duke Lennon."
