Lord Chronicle

Chapter 116: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

Four days later, after many hardships, everyone finally successfully crossed the blockade of the Lulin Army led by Ofer and arrived safely in Dusk, the capital of the kingdom.

Compared with the last time of the Kingdom Celebration, the king's capital at this time was much more depressed and deserted.But the capital is a capital after all, people are still coming and going on the streets, and most of the shops are still open, but groups of soldiers run past the streets from time to time, as if to remind people that it is a time of war.

After arranging the accompanying guards, Sol, Jessica, and Kress hurried to the palace.

I don't know if Sol is really famous now, at least when he reported his name, the officials of the palace immediately became very attentive and led them in smoothly.

When he came to the king's reception hall, the official bowed deeply: "Master Marquis, please wait here, and I will invite you in after I inform His Majesty the king."

After he left, Kress couldn't help but said: "It's amazing, Lord Lord, we came here during the last celebration, and these people didn't even look at us."

"Kress, this is the royal palace, you are too rude." Jessica scolded, fearing that his words would cause any trouble.

Sol also said: "Be low-key, pay attention to being low-key, sir, do I look like that kind of vain person?"

But having said that, Saul is actually quite proud of himself, or how to say that officials are desperately climbing up, it feels good to be flattered by others.

At this moment, the door of the reception hall opened, and a person walked out.When the two sides met each other, they were both taken aback.

"Darth?" Thor stood up suddenly.

"It's you." Das took two steps involuntarily, and when his eyes fell on Jessica next to Saul, a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Jessica, long time no see, let me give you a hug to see if you've lost weight recently..." As expected of the Four Masters, even the methods of harassing girls were surprisingly consistent, Das greeted him with open arms.

The good mood of seeing her old friend for the first time disappeared instantly, Jessica snorted coldly, her hand was already habitually clenched to the hilt of the sword.

Fortunately, she remembered that this was the royal palace, so she couldn't draw the sword casually.After hesitating for a moment, when Das was about to hug his upper body, she punched him hard.

With a laugh, Das nimbly dodged and patted Jessica on the buttocks, and he had already walked to Saul.

"Good boy, you did a good job with Gein." Patting Sol on the shoulder, he said with a smile.

"It's just so-so." Saul pretended to be modest.

"By the way, do you know why your father summoned us?" He asked quickly when he remembered something.Although I have already arrived at the palace, it is good to be vaccinated in advance.

"Well...you'll know after a while." Das didn't answer directly.

"Hey, let's be brothers, don't be so heartless." Saul still wanted to ask.

At this time, the official who went in to report came out: "His Majesty the Kingdom invites Sir Marquis Saul, Miss Jessica, and Sir Kress to attend."

"Okay, don't worry, it should be easy to handle with your ability." Das left a vague sentence, then turned and left: "This is not a place to talk, I will come to you tonight."

After taking two steps, he turned around abruptly, and triumphantly waved his hand to Jessica: "Jessica, the feeling is getting better and better."

"You..." Jessica was furious, but because of the place she was in, it was not easy for her to explode.

"Hey, I haven't seen him for so long, this guy still hasn't changed." Sol touched his chin, looking like "I have a close relationship with me".

Feeling helpless at these sluts, Jessica could only give him a hard look, then turned and walked in.

******************************************************************************
"See His Majesty the King." In the reception hall, the three of Sol knelt and bowed to King Robert.

"Hehe, Sir Sol, you're welcome." Robert smiled and asked the three of them to stand up.

"Mr. Sol came all the way from Diviji Castle. How was the journey?" After the three of them sat down, he asked kindly.

Knowing how hard it is to come, you still called me here, you hypocritical old man.Sol secretly slandered in his heart, but pretended to be grateful: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Robert said with a smile: "Hehe, you don't have to be restrained, Mr. Sol. You have made great achievements again and again at a young age. This time, you were able to send the Northern Legion south to resist the Lulin people. It is also thanks to your contribution to the Orc Empire. And You can even capture Diviji Castle with a mere hundred people, and stab a sharp sword in the enemy's heart. I didn't expect that there would be such a talented person in the Lovell family, he is really a pillar of the country."

Although Robert did not hesitate to praise him, Saul became more startled the more he heard it.Capable of writing and martial arts?Don't you want to take me to the front line to fight because of Lao Tzu's point of view?

Just when Saul was worrying about gains and losses, Robert suddenly said: "I don't know what Sir Saul thinks about the current situation of the war?"

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the old man's intentions are up to no good. Sol has made up his mind not to be a leader.He deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "I don't know much about this, but under the wise leadership of His Majesty the King, we will definitely defeat the Lulin invaders."

I didn't expect him to answer like this. Although there was nothing wrong with these words, Robert was also very disappointed.

At this moment, Jessica on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, may I say a few words?"

"Ah, you are Sir Jessica, right? I heard that you are Sir Sol's right-hand man. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it." Robert said happily.

Sol was shocked, of course he knew why Jessica rushed to speak.Obviously, she saw that Sol had behaved badly just now, and the loyal stewardess planned to save face for her lord.

Jessica's intentions are obviously good, but it can only make Sol more depressed.Woooooo... No, the better you behave, the more you will push me into the pit of fire.

However, in front of the king, it was too late to stop it, so Sol could only look at Jessica depressedly and talk freely: "Because of Cliff's rebellion, the Lulin army caught us by surprise, not only wiped out the entire west The legion has also occupied the entire southern territory, and with the defeat of General Pintat, it can be said that we cannot defeat the Lulin army in a short period of time."

Robert worried: "So, Dinard has no hope of victory?"

Jessica shook her head: "Of course not. Although a large area of ​​our territory has been occupied, most of the people in the territory still have their hearts attached to the motherland and are silently resisting the enemy's aggression. Just look at the short period after the capture of Diviji Castle. The fact that 8000 heroic volunteers came to join us in just a few months is the best example of this.”

"Yeah." Robert stroked his beard: "Go ahead."

Jessica continued: "Besides, although the southern territory is occupied, we still have a vast northern territory, which can be used as a rear area to resist the enemy and provide an endless supply of manpower and material resources. After all, the Lulin Army is on our territory Combat, now their logistics line is very fragile, as long as we can hold on to Diviji Castle and threaten the supply line of the southern road, we have hope of victory."

"Good!" Robert praised: "Is there any more?"

Jessica continued to play: "Of course, although we are facing the invasion of foreign enemies, there are no other enemies on our border except the Lulin Empire. Without the threat of the Orc Empire and the Bamuk Kingdom, we can concentrate the strength of the whole country and the enemy. fight."

"On the contrary, as far as I know, the Lulin Empire is not peaceful at this time. In their country, whether it is the nomads in the desert area or the mountain barbarians in the southern mountainous area, they are a great threat. Therefore, the Lulin Empire cannot All the troops are thrown into the battlefield. Now Lulin's four ace armies have been transferred to Dinar. Although the combat power here has been enhanced, the country is bound to be empty, and chaos will inevitably arise after a long time. That is our opportunity."

"That's very well said. As a woman, Jessica has such insight, it's really eye-opening." Robert praised happily.

Saul and Kress on the side were also stunned. In fact, everyone knew that Dinar's situation was in jeopardy, but after being analyzed by Jessica, it made people feel hopeful. It seemed that victory was just around the corner. This girl is really amazing. Don't underestimate it.

But...you are having fun, but you are hurting me.

Just when Sol was lamenting in his heart, Jessica said again: "As long as His Majesty the King can make up his mind and persist in resisting, we will have our brave soldiers from Dinar assisting us." At this point, she glanced at Sol , gave him a rare top hat: "Then the final victory will definitely belong to us."

"Well said, it seems that I was right to call you here, the three gentlemen obey orders." Robert said excitedly.

There was a secret passage, and although he was unwilling, Sol could only obediently kneel down on one knee.

"I appoint you as special envoys to the Kingdom of Bamuk immediately."

"Kingdom of Bamuk?" Sol secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not allowed to go to the battlefield, but then new questions arose.

Robert sighed: "I recently received information that the Lulin Empire is in frequent contact with the Bamuk Kingdom, and it seems to be planning something secretly. The Bamuk Kingdom has always been a loyal ally of our country, so I dared to transfer the two countries away All the troops on the border, but because of this, the back of the capital is completely empty."

"So if there is a change in the Bamuk Kingdom, the enemy's army can drive straight in from behind the capital, and we will be defeated without a doubt. So just in case, we must stabilize our relationship with the Bamuk Kingdom."

"That's why His Majesty the King let us go?" Jessica asked.

Robert nodded: "The performance of the three gentlemen in the Beastman Empire last time was impressive, so I believe that this time they will also be able to complete the task very well. This time you go, the first is to stabilize the relationship between the two sides, and prevent Lu Lin from taking advantage of it. In order to ensure that our rear is not threatened; the second is to win their support and borrow Bamuk's magician troops to help us fight, understand?"

Sol is suffering now. No wonder Robert recruited the three of them. It turned out that it was because of the last incident in the Orc Empire that the king recognized the three of them as the "Iron Triangle of Envoys". Naturally, the mission is none other than the three of them.

Only then did Thor understand what Darth meant by "With your ability, I believe it can be easily handled".Although on the surface, this mission is not dangerous, after all, the Kingdom of Bamuk is Dinar's consistent ally.

But now that the Lulin Empire has stretched out its hand, who knows what's going on over there now?Maybe as soon as the unlucky envoy of Lao Tzu arrives, he will be tied up by them and sent to Lulin to show his loyalty.

Besides, the task this time is not easy. In addition to ensuring that the Bamuk Kingdom will not be distracted, they also have to borrow their magician troops.Hard work, absolute hard work!

However, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired.Saul could only lament that his false fame killed people, and at the same time make a statement of death: "We must fulfill the entrustment of His Majesty the King."

Robert said with satisfaction: "Time is tight, you should make arrangements immediately, who you need to bring, and what you want, just ask, the sooner you start, the better."

As he said that, he patted Sol on the shoulder, and said something that made him shudder: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This time, I will leave it to Mr. Sol."

His Majesty the King is eagerly looking forward to it, how can he back down as a subject?
So in the midst of crying without tears, Sol could only nod his head fiercely: "I understand."

****************************************************************************
Leaving the palace, because of this unlucky errand, Sol was in a very gloomy mood, but Jessica and Kress were very excited.

"I didn't expect His Majesty the King to value us so much, hehe, it's really great." Kress couldn't help giggling, still not recovering from Robert's encouragement just now.

Jessica nodded: "It was not in vain to go through life and death in the Beastman Empire last time. Our ability has finally been recognized by the king. My lord, this time... Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Facing Jessica's puzzled gaze, Sol could only smile wryly and shake his head.

Alas, I really lost to you two guys. Are you so happy to help others?
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
