Because he had received prior notice, Clausewitz did not make the news of his master's return widely public, nor did he arrange any welcome ceremony. He only informed the senior Olympian officers and a few old men.
So when someone landed quietly on the castle's inner fort, the sentry guard almost thought it was an enemy attack and sounded the alarm. It wasn't until he saw that it was the supreme commander who had disappeared for a long time that he was so surprised and excited that he couldn't help but shout again
Cheered.
"Everyone is lucky."
The officers who heard the news rushed over immediately, and Moriarty was also smiling.
More than half a year after I left, Rheinburg and Olympus not only showed no signs of decline, but their military appearance became even better, and the defense system of the castles became increasingly perfect. With just a glance from the air, one could see a series of solid "Rafale turrets" standing there, a deterrent.
Si Ye, especially the Arrow Tower project that is still under reconstruction, left a deep impression on him, and it may almost affect the trend of human castle construction in the future.
There was just one thing: Heyna was not seen among the welcoming people, and Moriarty couldn't help but feel moved.
"Where is Heyna?" After a brief greeting, Moriarty arranged for everyone to go to the conference room first, and then asked in a deep voice to the old werewolf who looked slightly wrong.
"She fell ill. She suddenly fell into a coma as soon as she returned to Rheinburg last night and only woke up in the middle of the night. The doctor diagnosed that she was overworked and excited, and she needed a period of rest." Clausewitz said verbatim.
The doctor's orders were repeated.
"You go to the conference room first."
Moriarty nodded, turned around and entered the inner castle, trotting towards Heyna's room.
Along the way, many attendants were surprised when they saw the sudden appearance of their lord, and some even dropped the cups and saucers in their hands in confusion.
When I arrived at Heyana's door, I saw a maid standing there, and she seemed to have known about someone's return. So when she saw Moriarty appearing, the maid was excited but not surprised.
"Open the door," Moriarty said directly.
"...My lord...the lady has an order, saying that she does not want you to enter her room now..." Looking at the Lord of the Rhine in front of her, the maid, although feeling sad, still insisted on completing her mission and stopped the other party.
"What?"
When he learned that Heyna was ill, Moriarty was extremely anxious. He almost lost his patience. Immediately, the strong man became so powerful that he was so frightened that the maid clung to the door and was about to slip down.
"I want to rest and don't want to see anyone."
At this moment, a familiar voice came gently from inside the door, soft, strong, and a little bit weak.
"Haina, it's me." After being stunned for a moment, Moriarty put down his hand that was about to push the door open, took a deep breath, and said.
"...I know." After a while, the person inside the door spoke again, but it was just a very simple sentence, and he fell silent again.
"Hayana, everything is my fault. But no matter what, please let me come in and see you." Without any trace of the so-called "dignity" of the extreme or even the demigod, Moriarty begged softly, as if her eyes were thin.
A door is actually thicker and stronger than a copper wall and an iron wall.
"...You go, there are a lot of military affairs waiting for you to deal with. Let me have a rest quietly, I am too tired."
There was silence for nearly three minutes, and Haiyana said quietly again.
After that, no matter how Moriarty called, there was no response from the room.
Although opening the door was a breeze, Moriarty couldn't help but put his hand on the door handle several times, but finally took it back.
"Take good care of Heyana. I'll come back in the evening."
Finally unable to disobey his lover, Moriarty had to retreat temporarily.
The maid quickly bowed and agreed.
Unfortunately, after the high-level meeting with Olympus, and when she returned, Heyna still refused Moriarty's request to meet. She refused to answer any of the man's calls.
In the end, Moriarty had no choice but to wait patiently for her lover's mood to improve before trying again.
At the same time, news of the Lord's return gradually spread in the Rhineburg, and Moriarty also began to further refine and adjust the castle's internal affairs and the configuration of the Olympus Legion to keep up with the ever-changing internal and external changes.
Another week has passed, and a human army of nearly a thousand people has finally moved in from the north of Kent County. Bringing rich loot and wooden carts loaded with demon heads, the fleeing civilians who have begun to gradually return to their homes along the way continue to cheer.
.
"Finally home."
At the front of the team, Viscount Salk looked weathered, but he was in a very high mood, almost content with his ambition. Half a horse next to him, there was "Light of the Morning" Charlie. Although he had been promoted to the temple,
For a long time, this uncle still kept the wine bottle in his hand, drinking whenever he went without delay.
A little further away, Prince Heber and Saint Robert were riding side by side. Behind them were the first part of the Central Legion as the prince's bodyguard.
But for some unknown reason, Baron Ensberg was not seen among the coalition forces.
After marching for more than half a day, the army bypassed Fort McClellan and stopped directly in front of the former Sosk.
When they saw with their own eyes that Sosk had turned into a huge crater, no matter they were the strong men in the army or ordinary soldiers, they were all stunned on the spot. Even though the impact flame caused by the magic meteor had long been extinguished, they just looked at a radius close to
The kilometer-long deep pit and the coke fragments in the pit can only imagine the apocalyptic scene when the terrifying spell fell that day.
"That little guy has really become so strong!"
Seeing is believing. Even though there had been rumors about Feitian for a long time before, Viscount Salk still believed that the rumors were mostly lies. But now that he was standing at the edge of the huge pit, the old man was too shocked to say anything.
"A fourteenth-level bright ascetic monk... Hehe, if I really want to do it, I may not be able to handle both of them."
Charlie shook his head in admiration.
"Sir Robert, thanks for your timely notification, I was able to enter Kent County with Viscount Salk as soon as possible."
On the other side, Prince Haibo also had a surprised look on his face, which was extremely rare for him who had received strict etiquette training from the royal family since childhood.
"Your Highness, with all due respect, such a powerful Grand Arcanist is already in the category of Super Dao. As long as you give him time and space, almost no city on the continent can resist such a spell bombardment. Therefore, Your Highness, please be sure to
Please pay attention and respond with caution."
After a period of communication and decent interest arrangements, Robert has fully moved towards the Haibo camp and immediately warned.
"Of course. Even Her Majesty the Queen must treat such a strong person with courtesy, let alone me." Haibo nodded.
After staying at the original site of Sosk for about half a day to rest, the army started again and headed straight for Windsor Castle.
"The rangers discovered the return of the Kent County coalition forces, which also included some well-equipped armed forces from other counties. They judged that they might be Standwell's army, but they were not large in number."
A few hours later, relevant information was quickly put on Moriarty's desk, and Clausewitz suggested whether to reduce the scope of Wolf Rider's reconnaissance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or conflicts with the other party.
"That's fine." Moriarty nodded: "At present, the demons in the county have been basically eliminated, and our enemies have also changed. The Wolf Cavalry can reduce the frequency and scope of its mission."
"Yes, Your Excellency. Further identification of the personnel in the fort has begun. With the polygraph device you provided, we initially identified five hidden members of the Church of the Light. Three others were killed on the spot for resisting while resisting arrest.
The follow-up will continue." The old werewolf also nodded.
"The polygraph device is just a small magic device that can measure abnormal psychological fluctuations of the person being tested. It is ineffective for some people who have received strict training or are powerful. Therefore, other measures still need to be taken to ensure the internal security environment. Of course, it cannot disturb the people too much and make people
Living in fear or anxiety." Moriarty breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "I think, the invitation letter from Windsor Castle will be sent soon, and I have to leave for a few days."
"Yes, Salk has returned from the victory and is in great momentum. Now there are royal family members following him. It seems that the day when the viscount will be promoted to uncle is just around the corner." As he said that, Clausewitz looked meaningfully again.
The Lord glanced at him: "Your Excellency, your child will also be a human earl in the future."
"Ha." Looking back at the old werewolf, Moriarty smiled bitterly, but had nothing to say.
Sure enough, a newly printed and exquisite invitation was sent to Rheinburg three days later, inviting the Lord of the Rhine, the supreme commander of the Olympus Legion, the distinguished Grand Arcanist Moriarty to come to Windsor Castle to witness the promotion of the Salk family.
Ceremony of the title of earl.
The messenger turned out to be Claudia.
"With the return of Charles Saint, and the addition of Robert from the royal capital, I was kicked out. If it wasn't for your sake, I'm afraid it would have been my head that was sent."
Returning to his old home, the Blood Earl was in a good mood and couldn't help but joke.
"What does Mathile have to say?" Moriartillo smiled slightly and asked.
"She naturally hopes that you will come over quickly, and it is best not to leave again."
Relatively speaking, Claudia has always been closer to Heyna, even though Mathil is also an outstanding woman. Perhaps this is just due to the common hostility of female creatures towards "interveners".
"She's about to give birth. I really should stay with you more." Moriarty nodded and sighed softly.
"Then Miss Haina..."
Although she knew she shouldn't talk about this matter, for some reason Claudia still couldn't help but speak. So much so that the old werewolf even glared at the Blood Count with annoyance.
"She has always been unwilling to see me. Mathilde's pregnancy has hurt Heyana too much." On the contrary, Moriarty didn't feel dissatisfied, but her expression was a little gloomy and a little tired, and she said calmly.
"So..." Seeing this, Claudia didn't know what to say.
"Since you are back, go and accompany her, and see if you can reduce the term of your magic pet by a few more years."
After waving his hand, Moriarty smiled. The two of them immediately retreated.
"Sure enough, even gods are not omnipotent. Or is the human heart the most difficult thing to hold in all planes, and even divine power is helpless?"
Sitting back in the chair alone, he opened his pocket watch and looked at the portrait of his lover printed on the inside of the watch cover. Moriarty whispered in a deep voice. (To be continued.)
