According to the normal speed, the convoy transporting the ore should have arrived at the castle half an hour ago, but after waiting around and waiting, the convoy did not arrive. Both Lanny and Tabby became anxious, especially Lanny, who had given this batch of ore

Too many expectations.

Lanny thought that he had done a good job in keeping the convoy secret. Even when he went there, he installed a coal mine to hide it from others. His high-ranking bronze knight, Baron Ute, was also among them. Lanny felt that the convoy should not be in danger.

.

But the longer he waited, the more anxious he became. Even if the heavy rain affected his speed, he still hadn't come back yet. The scouts had been sent out, so Lanni could only wait for news in the castle.

After exiting the hall where Lanny was, Tabby raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head. At this moment, his heart was already half cold. The dispatched service team sent back two reports, but no trace of the convoy was found.

This shows that the convoy is still at least twenty kilometers away. This is enough to show that the convoy is likely to encounter danger and delay the return trip. Now he only hopes that Ute can return safely with the convoy. Even if he loses some people, it does not matter.

.

Tabby quickly walked to the wall of the castle, looking intently at the road ahead in the night, hoping that good news would come back in the next second.

Time passed by, and the scouts had returned in six batches, but still did not encounter the convoy. Tabby's mental arithmetic sank to the bottom. According to time calculation, the scout team should have almost arrived in the buffer zone where the camp was located.

The sky is already bright at this moment, and summer rain never lasts overnight. Even if it rained heavily last night, it can't stop the scorching sun that is still rising. In the distant east, the first ray of sunlight has already hit the castle directly, and Tabby is still

Standing motionless on the city wall, looking at the northeast road in the distance, suddenly, a horse came galloping on the road in the distance.

Tabby could no longer care about her image as a butler, and ran down the city wall quickly, arriving outside the castle gate to wait for the flying horse to arrive.

"How is the situation? Have you seen the convoy?"

Before the galloping horse could stop, Tabby quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously.

The soldiers on horseback did not dare to neglect. When they saw it was the housekeeper, they quickly jumped off the horse, bent down and answered Tabby in a trembling tone.

"Master Steward, the convoy...the convoy is gone, and the camp...the camp has also been set on fire. There are dead bodies everywhere, and there is no one left alive."

After finishing speaking, the soldier who reported the news was still bent over and did not dare to look up at Tabby.

"How could it be...how could it be possible? How could even the camp be destroyed?"

Even though he had already made a guess in his mind, Tabby still couldn't believe it when he heard the confirmation from the soldier who reported the news. Especially when he heard that the camp was also burned down, he became unsteady and took a step back. If it weren't for the guarding the castle gate behind him,

The guard quickly helped him, and Tabby probably sat on the ground.

After being supported by the guards, Tabby stood upright, immediately waved away the guards who were supporting him, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the castle.

dong dong dong

"Come in!"

In the hall, Lanny stayed up all night, and Tabby never came to report. When it got slightly brighter, he also had a guess. Something must have happened to the convoy. When he heard a knock on the door, Lanny quickly stood up from the soft sofa.

He stood up and hurriedly answered the knock on the door.

The person who knocked on the door was Tabby. With Lanny's permission, Tabby arranged his clothes a little before opening the hall door and walking in.

"Sir, the convoy was robbed, and the camp...the camp was burned down!"

Tabby tried to suppress the tone of her voice to avoid making the same vibrato as the soldier.

"What? The camp was destroyed too?"

Lanni had already had a premonition that the convoy was robbed, but what shocked him was that even the camp was destroyed.

"Who, who is it...ah..."

Lanny's voice suddenly rose and became hoarse. He was furious at the moment. He had invested so much in all his plans and had such heavy expectations, which made him unbearable and on the verge of going berserk.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lanny went crazy, smashing and yelling in the hall. No matter how beautiful the artwork was, he would throw it to the ground as long as it appeared in his field of vision. The valuable artwork was instantly destroyed, and the house was immediately in a mess.

Tubby, however, was like a sculpture, not daring to move. Every time Lanny hit something, Tabby's body would shake unconsciously. This was the first time he had seen Viscount Lenny so crazy.

"You... you... you go and gather troops for me. Now go to the camp and have a look..."

After venting his anger, there was nothing left to smash in the hall. Lanny finally calmed down slightly, his eyes were red, and he ordered Tabby through gritted teeth.

"Yes, sir!"

Tabby immediately responded as if he had been granted amnesty, and then ran out of the hall quickly. Although he was loyal, no one in the castle dared to say that he was not afraid of Lanny's wrath, especially Lanny who was in a state of madness.

However, although Lanny was crazy, he still had reason and knew that the problem was not Tabby's fault. Even though he smashed the entire object in the middle of the hall, he did not vent his anger on Tabby.

Soon Lanny, wearing armor and leading more than fifty guards, rushed to the camp in the buffer zone.

At night, Lanny didn't dare to leave the castle because he had an older brother who was competing with him. They both wanted to get rid of each other quickly, but it was already dawn, and the guards around him were enough to protect his safety, and the camp was destroyed.

, made Lanni too concerned, and he had to go and check it out in person.

…

In the Storm Territory, in the Golden Castle, the sun was already shining through the window onto the bed, and Gervais stretched and sat up from the bed.

"Oh, I'm sleeping in again!" Looking at the cloudless sky outside the window, Gervais sighed. He has not slept in for a long time because he is committed to building a good territory. In order to regularize his habits, he always goes to bed early.

I woke up early, and in more than a week, it was only today that I slept in.

After complaining slightly to himself, Gervais raised his hand and pulled the rope on the bedside. Over time, he had become accustomed to the service of the little maid. Isn't there a saying on earth, life is like XX, if you can't resist, then you will

Enjoy.

Facing Anna's big watery eyes, Gervais felt that he couldn't resist, so he happily decided not to resist and enjoy the shameless life of the nobles.

"Huh? This is..."

Just when Gervais pulled the rope and waited for Anna to come in and help her get up, a feeling suddenly came through her heart, conveying the feeling of intimacy.

"Has the golden elf insect recognized its master?"

The fluctuations in Gervais's heart came from elf bugs. Elf bugs are just like humans. Each individual has a separate breath, so Gervais quickly distinguished that this breath was not Betty, but a strange breath.

Then it can only be the golden elf bug that broke out the amber crystal yesterday morning.

"Haha, little God of Wealth, I'll be here right away!"

Gervais was overjoyed. He was looking forward to the ore space opened up by the golden elf bugs, and responded to the elf bugs in his heart through a special induction.

"Good morning, my lord!"

While Gervais was enjoying himself, Anna also entered the bedroom and began to help Gervais dress.
