"Talk less and continue standing guard." After this conversation, De Lassel suddenly didn't miss this town so much.

I didn't expect that the warm feeling I wanted to experience after returning to the city would be ruined by the guards.

"Yes, my master." The guard seemed to realize that he was really tongue-tied and cursed himself in his heart for being a fool.

Then, Queen Ronnie and everyone else entered the lord's hall, met Safiya and others, and after a brief greeting, she hurried away with the troops and wolves stationed in Uxhall.

Of course, this was also within the Baron's expectations, because when they were on the road, Queen Ronnie had secretly told him that she had a secret mission and would leave with the troops and would not stay any longer.

The baron looked at the beautiful Safiya, who had looked thin and whom he had not seen for a long time, and the lazy little dragon Ryan, who had just woken up from a dream. He felt a warm sensation in his heart and felt that he was finally home.

Just when De Lassel excitedly wanted to share with everyone all the stories that happened along the way, the damn crocodile guard at the door happened to say it right.

It's true that when I left, there were no enemy attacks. But when the Baron was here, all kinds of messes happened one after another...

Suddenly, the baron heard the noisy sound of horse hooves outside the town, as well as the shouting of soldiers that was getting closer and louder. He must have heard a troop passing by.

At this time, the guard at the door who had just been despised by the baron came running in hastily. He ran so fast that his uniform was all messed up and he looked very shabby. He reported:

"Report! My distinguished master, Count Harlan from the Kingdom of Swadia, has arrived with his troops! According to preliminary estimates, their troops number about 100 people."

"Earl Harlan...shouldn't he be far away in the north, being captured by the brave warrior Arthur of the Nord Kingdom in Gilly Castle? I just helped Arthur deal with him!"

Upon hearing the news, a hint of worry flashed in De Lassel's eyes. He knew very well that Count Harlan was a strong opponent.

But the truce and peace treaty between the two countries has not yet expired, so he cannot attack rashly this time. For a moment, the baron could not guess his real intention.

Moreover, not long ago, he helped Arthur, the brave warrior of the Nord Kingdom, to capture Earl Harlan, and Gilly Castle and Gilly Village were officially conquered by the Nord Kingdom as Arthur's fiefdom.

Now Earl Harlan appeared here intact and safe. Could it be that he escaped because of Arthur's mistake, or could it be that the two kingdoms had agreed on a suitable ransom to release him?

The chief minister, the wealthy merchant Manide, also reminded the baron: "Master, the truce and peace treaty between us and the Kingdom of Swadia is still in place, which can restrain Count Harlan's attack.

Besides, maybe he is not here to attack the city, I think you don't need to worry too much, you should go and find out first."

“Well, I know all this. What I’m more worried about is that there are spies from the other side in our town. After all, this happened last time.

Now, the Emperor Ronnie has just led his troops away. Right now we have almost no defenders, so it can be said that we have no chance of fighting.

If Count Harlan came here only because he knew about my situation, then my future actions will be very passive..."

Recalling the terrible experience last time, the disgusting king sent out shadows and a large number of elite troops to surround this place.

The life of himself and his companions was threatened at that time, which made De Lassel a frightened bird. He couldn't help but suspect that there were other spies in the town that had not been completely eliminated.

After all, since the opening of the Yanluo Casino, the number of people coming in and out of the entire town of Uxhall has increased several times. It is very possible that there are always some hidden spy masters coming and going.

Thinking of this, De La Ser looked around, staring at the people around him, looking them up and down, eager to see into their hearts.

His chilling gaze made everyone look terrified, except for Safiya, Ryan, Manid and others who were close to him, who felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry too much, De Lassel, go deal with Count Harlan outside first, I'll accompany you." At this time, Safiya walked up to the baron, took his arm and said.

"No, it's too dangerous. I'll go by myself. Okay...you guys just wait here and I'll go check out the situation."

De Lassel gave Safiya a gentle hug, then left the Lord's Hall thoughtfully and with a heavy heart.

Outside the hall, the Red Blood Horse, which had been running all the way, was just about to drink water, eat food and take a rest when it saw the Baron striding towards it.

"咴'er." Chixue shouted reluctantly before he was ridden on.

【Red Blood: What are you doing? I need to rest. De La Serre, you are such a ruthless guy!

How long have we known each other? You are trying to drain my energy! Even if I am a thousand-mile horse, I will get tired. 】

"With the enemy at hand, hold on for a while, dear. I'll treat you to a good 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-fashioned method he used to deal with the little dragon Ryan. He estimated that all animals should be similar and would be docile and obedient if they were fed and watered enough.

The Red Blood Horse was not polite and started bargaining immediately.

[Red Blood: Well, I would be very happy if you could add a little honey to my drinking trough. I like to drink something sweet~]

"Okay, okay, as you say. I'll give you extra time tonight! Can we set off now?" The baron shook his head and smiled bitterly.

[Red Blood: No problem~ What are you waiting for? Come on up~ My hooves are thirsty, let's go~]

At this time, the system joined in the fun and started complaining online.

[System prompt: Little Dragon Leien likes to eat steak, and this Red Blood Horse likes to drink honey water. It's really troublesome. They are all expensive! Look at you, you have raised a bunch of picky creatures. ]

The Baron was already very upset by Count Harlan's arrival, and now the system started beeping again. He could no longer bear it and retorted:

"That's right! Damn it, I have a bunch of picky people! And you, system, you are still a traitor who always puts your elbow in the direction of Huang Luo Nier. I am annoyed to death by you guys all day long!"

De La Serre thought about how he was being annoyed by these annoying bastards all day long, and he just felt a headache, as if he was a cheap escort...

Soon, thanks to the Red Blood Horse's gallop, De La Serre arrived at the town gate 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, De La Serre's mind has matured a little. He suppressed his anxiety and said lightly, "Count Harlan, long time no see. I hurried here. What's the matter?"

"Of course I have something to ask you. Am I coming to your town of Uxhall to ask for tea?"

Count Harun, who had always been honest and loyal, actually had an obscene smirk on his face when he said this.

"You should have said it earlier... Come, prepare some good tea for Count Harlan. He is just passing by and wants to have a drink. We cannot neglect our guest."

"Hehehe... You are still so humorous, De Lassel. Do you think I will forget how you treated me last time in Gilly Castle and Gilly Village!?"

"Just say what you want to say. Can you please not have that attitude? I really have forgotten how to treat you, my friend. How about you remind me?"

It has to be said that the Baron's deliberately teasing tone angered Count Harlan. This was also the Baron's usual practice, angering his opponent, causing him to lose his composure and make wrong judgments.

At this time, Earl Harlan could no longer suppress his anger and said:

“You…you took my weapon while I was sleeping, and then several people surrounded me and forced me to surrender!

I took this castle with so much effort and so many of my soldiers died, but you took away the fruits of my labor without a single blow!

This made me the laughing stock of the kingdom. Everyone said I was not as good as you! Damn it, I remember every minute and every second of that time clearly! "

"Ahhh... now that I remember, yes, I can freely admit that it was all my fault. I sympathize with your tragic experience, but I do not intend to apologize.

So, what are you doing here? I think you should know that I have joined the Goddess Empire. There is a truce and peace treaty between our two kingdoms. "

"Humph, 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 if."

"Drasel... Damn it, don't interrupt me!"

"Very well, please continue with your damn speech."

Upon hearing this answer, Count Harlan was so angry that his veins popped out, his eyes widened, and he almost vomited blood from anger.

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, ready to spread to all places on the continent.

De Lassel, 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 the 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 long anticipated the slander from the Kingdom of Swadia, but when he actually heard such disgusting news, he still could not bear the displeasure in his heart.
