King Charlemagne looked at the chaotic parliament below, frowning and shouting, "Enough! Isn't it chaotic enough?"

This angry shout echoed in the parliament hall like a loud bell.

After hearing this, the crowd below instantly quieted down. The originally fierce quarrel came to an abrupt end. Everyone was silent, not daring to make any sound.

King Charlemagne waited for a moment, and when the atmosphere calmed down a little, he ordered the President of the Parliament, Malcador, to negotiate with the nobles about the relevant matters of sending troops.

After giving his instructions, he left the parliament hall exhausted both physically and mentally.

Martin was also shocked when he learned the news of Charlemagne's defeat and the death of the Sky Knight.

In his knowledge, it was extremely rare for Sky Knights to die in battle since the founding of the Kingdom of Charlemagne. After all, with their strength, they could escape unscathed even if they were defeated. However, this time the battle was so tragic.

Martin turned to Earl White and said, "Father, in my opinion, the kingdom will most likely ask the nobles to send troops. I just wonder how the four ducal families will react."

Earl White sighed and responded worriedly, "Yes, what I'm worried about is how the nobles will send out their troops."

"As you know, the recent battle at Frost Zero Pass nearly wiped out the Knights of the North. If the King were to force the North to send troops, it would be difficult to handle. Now we can only take it one step at a time."

Martin comforted him, "Don't worry too much, father. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I will ask Marquis Roderick for his opinion."

Earl White nodded helplessly: "This is the only way." After that, the two of them hung up the communication crystal.

Martin thought for a moment, then took out his communication crystal and contacted Ir, who was stationed in the Valley of Beasts. After Ir answered the call, he respectfully asked, "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Martin asked with concern: "Il, what is the current situation of the Warcraft Contract?"

Il answered truthfully, "Master Martin, we've only contracted about forty of them so far, and that's with the assistance of the head maid, Greta. Otherwise, the number would be even smaller."

Martin offered a few words of encouragement before hanging up the line. He thought to himself that his own foundation was still too weak, and he could only hope that Betan and his team would make some progress, ideally training a Sky Knight.

At this time, Yoder hurried over and reported the results of the investigation to Martin.

Yoder said, "Master, after some investigation, I found that we might have caught a very important person this time, but I'm not sure yet. I really can't understand why such a person would appear here."

Martin's curiosity piqued, and he asked, "Who is it?"

Joad uttered a word slowly, and Martin's eyes widened in shock. He had never expected it to be this person. This was really troublesome.

Martin wondered to himself, why was he in Luoqiu Town? Had he gotten bored of staying in the capital and come here to explore? Martin couldn't even think about enjoying his leisurely life anymore and immediately took Yoder to the prison.

On the way, Martin asked anxiously, "Joad, nothing happened to him, did you?" Joad quickly explained, "No, sir. It wasn't a big deal anyway, so we just put them in a regular cell."

Martin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The group soon arrived at the prison, and Martin saw the man in an ordinary cell.

He signaled the guards to open the cell door and said politely, "Please come out, distinguished guest inside." But unexpectedly, there was no response from the other party.

Martin thought that since this person had come in secret, he must have some ulterior motive, so he said loudly, "Your Highness, I will never tell anyone about your visit to Luoqiu Town. If you need any help, I, Martin, will be happy to help you."

Hearing this, the man in the cell was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and slowly walked out of the cell door. The firelight reflected on his face, and it turned out to be the third prince of the Kingdom of Charlemagne.

After confirming it was the Third Prince, Martin immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully. The Third Prince watched him bow and said with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't expect it, Martin White. I've heard of your name in the capital."

"Even a captain of an ordinary guard team can reach the strength of a Silver Knight. I have to say, Father, no, everyone underestimates you."

Martin responded modestly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. These are just window dressing and not worth mentioning. I wonder if Your Highness would like to leave now or later?"

The Third Prince didn't answer the question. He just stared at Martin and said, "How about this, Martin? Send a golden knight with me into the Luoqiu Mountains to capture a B-rank magical beast. Then I will forgive your previous offense."

After hearing this, Martin began to wonder. Although he didn't know why the Third Prince wanted to go to Luoqiu Mountains, his intuition told him that this was definitely not a good thing, so he wanted to refuse immediately.

The third prince noticed Martin's hesitation and said, "If you are worried, you can go with me, how about that?" Having said that, Martin couldn't refuse anymore and could only nod in agreement.

Afterwards, Martin wanted to arrange for the third prince to live in the castle, but the third prince refused. He felt that there were too many people in the castle and it would be more secluded to stay in the hotel.

Martin had no choice but to place the third prince and his men in the inn, then returned to the castle and called Joad to find out the purpose of the third prince's coming to Luoqiu Mountains.

Yoder analyzed, "Master, I think the Third Prince's secret trip to the Luoqiu Mountains must be due to something we don't know. But one thing is certain: he needs cannon fodder."

Martin asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Yoder explained, "Master, think about it. When I arrested the Third Prince, he offered no resistance at all. Even if he came to Luoqiu Town secretly, he wouldn't be without powerful subordinates, right?"
