Watching the black-armored figure turn around and walk back, Livia called out to him softly.

"You are Puro, right?"

Although it has been tacitly acknowledged before, it would still be better to get personal confirmation from the person himself.

The black-armored figure stopped, turned around and looked at him. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly raised his hands and took off the black helmet, revealing a resolute face of a middle-aged European man.

"yes."

With that word in his mouth, he put his helmet back on.

"Oh, by the way, can you let...

That Shadow Guard, being...

Staring at me?"

Seeing that he was about to turn around again, Livia quickly spoke again.

Livia really couldn't stand that sharp feeling. He felt uncomfortable all over when being stared at by that sharp gaze. Although the feeling weakened after he walked into the corridor and there was no sharp gaze staring at him, the feeling still lingered in his heart.

Pro paused for a moment, "I'll tell him later. He's just a little wary. He's actually a very good person."

Listening to him explaining for the shadow guard, it seemed that the two knew each other and had a good relationship. Livia felt helpless. I don’t know if he is a good person, but if this continues, I will feel bad.

"By the way, what is the situation now?"

After the explanation, Livia asked seriously about the most concerning issue at the moment and looked at Pro seriously. He had to find out what the situation was about this matter. He couldn't just act in the dark.

After Livia finished speaking, Pro fell silent. After a moment of silence, he turned his back to Livia.

"It's very bad. There are only civilians and some guards underground. My lord and the others are upstairs. The high-ranking and main forces of the cultists should be upstairs. Lord Delong and his men are fighting with the cultists in the hall on the first floor. Our team is here to open the way and test..." Having said that, Pro said no more and walked towards the stairs.

Livia lowered her head slightly when she heard this.

So the current situation is to wait until the battle below is over and then reunite and attack together?

decisive battle?

well……

Livia raised her head and looked at the dark figure, exhaled, then her eyes became firm and she followed Pro.

…

Puff~ "Uh...

Uh…” Watching the black-robed man fall down indifferently, Delong swung his sword and sheathed it.

Glancing at the corpses of the men in black robes scattered all around and the knights cleaning up the battlefield, his lips opened and closed slightly.

"How is the situation over there, Lord?"

"The Blood Mist Cult has already launched an attack. The magic circle they set up should be able to hold out for a while. After all, it was brought by the one from the capital."

There was a faint sound in the air behind me.

“Can that guy be trusted?

I had no idea before…” Delong frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.

"Feel sorry……

The Lord has ordered that this be kept secret."

"Huh, you can't even trust me?

Even I need to keep it secret?

What about the people of Kovagr?

The hard work of so many generations...

Don’t want any of it?”

Delong snorted coldly and asked a series of questions, with anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

This town was not only built by the Corral family, but also by their three affiliated families and countless generations of ancestor knights who spent a lot of hard work to build such a territory and a place to live.

After this, it is estimated that half of the entire town will be reduced to ruins, and less than 60% of ordinary people will survive. In today's world, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to recover, just for a layout!

! !

Deron was a little angry. He also guessed what Marco, whom he had been with since he was a child, wanted to do. He was so actively cooperating with the layout and making such great sacrifices just to return to the sight of the king and the people in the capital and no longer be excluded from any circle.

Because of what happened hundreds of years ago, the two territories on the Cohen grassland were completely ignored and left alone by the kingdom. Although they were relatively free, they had completely lost the opportunity to go further and even lost their rights and dignity as a noble. Although they were earls, they did not have the feeling of an earl at all. This was the pain of every generation of the Corral family, and every generation of Corral earls wanted to return to that circle again.

Delong naturally knew that his lord had also been thinking about this matter. How could he not understand his dreams and goals when he grew up together? He would not let go of this opportunity when the kingdom sent someone to come, even if he had to risk everything, but...

Is it worth it?

Delong was deeply puzzled.

Is it worth it?

Is it worth it?

Just to return to that circle, Kovag became like this, and all the hard work of hundreds of years was burned to ashes. Is the so-called glory of the nobility really that important?

Deron was a little confused.

“……” The person hidden in the air did not answer him. He didn’t know how to answer this question, nor did he dare to answer it.

"Forget it, you go up and report to the Lord, and we will rush to provide support later."

Deron looked up and sighed. Although he was very dissatisfied, after all, the situation had come to this and there was nothing much to say.

Time cannot go back, and he cannot change the past.

"Hmm..." Feeling a slight fluctuation in the air behind him, Delon shook his head.

"My Lord, what is wrong?"

Ketel behind him wiped the blood splattered on his helmet, walked forward and was about to report the situation, when he saw his captain shaking his head.

"It's okay. How's it going?"

"There are only four lightly injured. There are three shadow guards and a dozen guards underground who can join the team."

"Are there any forces left to protect civilians?"

"Don't worry, sir. We left two brothers who were seriously injured and almost exhausted to guard the city. Together with the civilians and a few castle guards, it should be enough."

Delon frowned.

"Leave one more shadow guard team behind to rest and prepare for five minutes before setting off."

"yes."

Ketel nodded, turned around and trotted away.

well……

Delong turned his head to look at the stairs in the hall and sighed.

…

"My Lord, I have received a notification that Lord Delong is almost there and will attack soon."

Marco patted his luxurious clothes and looked at the dark shadow that appeared on the wall.

"How did he react?"

Shadow thought for a moment and knew what the lord was asking.

“There is a little bit of excitement and dissatisfaction, but there is not much emotional fluctuation.”

"He would naturally be dissatisfied, after all...

Marco lowered his head and sighed.

"You go down."

“……” There was no answer, and the black shadow on the wall suddenly disappeared.

well……

Deron, although you may understand why I did this on the surface, you actually don’t know my real intention.

Marco leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

The situation in the territory and the surrounding areas is getting worse day by day. As the number of monsters outside increases, it becomes more and more difficult for Kovag's caravans to trade. Sooner or later, Kovag will completely cut off contact with the outside world. When the kingdom completely ignores and neglects them, Kovag...

It will only lead to destruction.

In fact, he had known that something was wrong in his territory a long time ago. The villages next door, which belonged to Chinosi, were attacked by monsters one after another, but the corpses found were less than one-third of the total population of the village, and they were all elderly people and children. Where did the young and middle-aged people go?

It goes without saying that there must be someone behind this. The people who are planning this place are besides Chinosi and Kovag. What else is there to say?

only……

I really didn't expect that you, Moore, were one of the people behind the scenes, and you also knew what I did in a moment of confusion.

Thinking of this, Marco's lifeless eyes regained their luster, and a hint of sinisterness flashed across them.

Butler Morton...

As he got closer, Marco thought of the old butler who had watched him grow up. However, ever since he had killed Mochi in a moment of confusion, he had been reluctant to face this kind old man who had always treated him very well, and deliberately kept his distance from him.

Marco closed his eyes, his mind filled with the surprised and unbelievable look that Butler Morton gave him when he found out that he was the one who killed Mochi.

well……

Marco sighed and snapped his eyes open.

But here comes the opportunity!

Just when he was about to get rid of those guys in the territory in advance, the kingdom actually sent people to plan to catch a big fish.

"Everything is expendable, everything is expendable, as long as...

If only I could...

. "

Thinking of success, his face became a little ferocious, bang bang~ "Who?

!”

A sudden knock on the door interrupted him. Marco's face changed, he quickly straightened up, looked sideways at the door, and asked sternly.

"My Lord, I am a guard of the castle. Those cultists launched an attack, and Lord Connor sent the two of us to protect you. He said he was afraid that someone would sneak in and assassinate you."

A restrained and cautious voice came from outside the door.

Marco then breathed a sigh of relief and patted his face gently to calm himself down.

"Just stand guard outside the door," "Well..." "I have a way!"

Hearing the words coming from outside the door, Marco raised his tone with some displeasure.

"Yes..." What exactly does Connor want to do? I always feel that he is hiding a lot from me in his plan.

Marco frowned deeply, feeling that something was wrong with that guy, but the kingdom's order was real. No matter what you want to do, I hope it won't affect me, otherwise...

Marco's face looked somewhat grim in the dim firelight.
