"Hey hey hey."

In response to Duke Marcus's accusation, the young Earl Hogan smiled slyly and retorted: "Duke Marcus, you obviously violated the old king's will and supported the eldest prince's rebellion. I did this for the Kingdom of Morning Light.

It’s peaceful.”

"Hahaha, it's really funny to talk about betrayal or not." Marquis Lehmann couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing, "I have been working for His Majesty from the beginning, pretending to support you."

After a pause, he added: "I estimate that the eldest prince should be completely defeated by His Majesty's army now, and the army led by my son has made a lot of credit."

"You! You bastard." Duke Marcus was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

He could imagine that the sudden rebellion of the Longya Ridge army on the battlefield would be a heavy blow to the eldest prince.

If the third prince takes the opportunity to launch a general attack again, the eldest prince will definitely lose.

"Okay, Duke Marcus, now Fengsui City is under our control, and you don't even have a chance to resist. At your Majesty's request, I have to personally escort you to the royal capital.

"

Then, Marquis Lehmann turned to the soldiers on the side and ordered: "Come here, take Duke Marcus down and keep him under strict supervision."

"Yes!" Two soldiers immediately stepped forward.

Duke Marcus knew that resistance was futile, so he was escorted off by the soldiers without much resistance.

Afterwards, Earl Hogan happily rubbed his palms and said flatteringly: "Marquis Lyman, I have cooperated with your actions so much. Will your Majesty really hand over the management of Fengsui City to me?"

"Of course, Count Hogan." Marquis Lyman affirmed, "You have made such a great contribution, and His Majesty will naturally reward you heavily."

"That's good, that's good." Count Hogan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Earl Hogan, I will escort the rebels to the royal capital and hand them over to His Majesty for trial. During this period, you must become familiar with how to manage Fengsui City."

After hearing what the other party said, Earl Hogan immediately became energetic.

"That's right. Fengsuicheng has just changed hands. I guess there are a lot of things to be dealt with, so I'll get started first."

"Walk slowly, Lord Hogan."

After Earl Hogan left, Marquis Lyman's face gradually turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "Hmph, how can you take the big advantage of capturing Fengsui City? Let me make you happy for a few days first."

…

At night, the eldest prince and a small group of people slept in the wilderness.

They successfully escaped from the battlefield and were planning to return north to Fengsuicheng.

The son of Duke Marcus also disappeared during this battle, and he is probably in danger.

Legovis sat alone in front of the firewood in a daze, while others were resting nearby.

This was the first time he experienced a disastrous defeat, so he was deeply shocked and depressed to the extreme.

The abominable Marquis Leman and his son must make you look good! Legovis thought to himself, clenching his fists tightly.

"Your Highness, we caught the rabbit and we have something to eat!"

At this time, a knight came over with a fat one-horned rabbit in his hand, and excitedly shook it to show it to Legovis.

Legovis glanced up, then lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing that the eldest prince was in a low mood, the knight put down the rabbit and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't be discouraged. It is normal for the battle to fail. As long as you are still here, you can regroup with your identity as the eldest prince."

Form an army and then look for opportunities to counterattack."

"Alas -" Legovis sighed, "I know everything you said."

Then, he said angrily: "I just can't swallow this breath. If it weren't for the rebellion in Longya Ridge, how could I have ended up in this situation?"

"The behavior of Marquis Leman is indeed shameful. We must settle the accounts with him after we return." The knight agreed.

"Um."

Just as he nodded, Legovis's stomach made an unsatisfactory growling sound, and then he remembered that he had not eaten anything all day today.

In response, the knight smiled brightly and raised the rabbit in his hand again.

"Your Highness, you have traveled such a long way today, so you must be hungry. I will take care of the rabbit for you and eat the meat tonight."

"Then it's up to you."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I often went hunting with my father when I was a child, and I am quite good at handling and cooking ingredients."

After saying that, the knight took out a knife from his waist and prepared to step aside to deal with the rabbit.

But he never expected that as soon as he turned around, an assassin suddenly appeared and slit his throat with a short blade.

The knight didn't even have time to warn everyone.

"court death!"

Fortunately, Legovis reacted in time and immediately picked up the halberd beside him, jumped up and stabbed in the direction where the enemy appeared.

With a cry, the attack failed.

The opponent's skill was not bad. Not only could he dodge Legovis' attack, but he could also deceive the knight who was on sentry duty.

At the same time, other sounds came from behind, the firewood was extinguished artificially, and the surrounding light immediately dimmed.

From this point of view, the number of enemies seems to be quite large.

"There is an enemy attack!"

The knights nearby drew their swords and entered a state of alert.

"Quick! It's important to protect the eldest prince." A knight shouted.

The group of knights nodded and quickly moved towards Legovis' position.

At this time, many enemies appeared one after another and fought with the knights, forcing them not to get close to the great prince.

Clang! Clang!

The metallic sound of weapons colliding could be heard all around, and Legovis was also struggling with a skilled assassin.

The opponent wears a strange mask, and his true face cannot be seen. His movements are very agile, and he can avoid Legovis's attacks every time.

However, it is also difficult for the enemy to get close to the eldest prince.

After a few rounds, Legovis swung his halberd vigorously and accidentally cut off the hairband on the assassin's head. His beautiful long purple hair spread out and could be seen clearly with the moonlight.

"Woman?" Legovis was slightly startled.

The female assassin paused for a moment in front of the eldest prince, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

"Remember my name - Ye Mei, I am His Majesty's right-hand man."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Mei finished chanting the spell quickly, and her figure showed abnormal fluctuations and gradually faded.

Sensing something was wrong, Legovis took action decisively, raised his halberd, waved it in the air, and hit Ye Mei's position hard.

There was a bang, but it didn't hit anyone. The attack just stirred up a handful of soil, and Ye Mei had already disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Since he didn't know how the night demon disappeared from his eyes, Legovis felt a little panicked. He picked up his halberd and swung it around randomly.

After waving in the air for a long time, without feeling any physical contact at all, he gradually stopped moving.

Breathing heavily, Legovis forced himself to calm down and listen to what was going on around him.

The enemy cannot disappear out of thin air, he must still be wandering around here.

"Ugh! Damn it——"

I don't know who was killed, and the sound of the scuffle around me greatly affected Legovis's perception.

Even so, he still caught a slight movement from the noisy environment, right behind him!

Legovis suddenly felt a chill on his back and turned around quickly.
