Concealing the royal family, the aristocratic Council passed Lord caspamibau Lawrence's application with almost lightning efficiency and allowed him to lead troops to search for refugees.

Armed search for fleeing villagers?

excuse!

A fool could see that he was trying to find an excuse to attack Ellington.

"Since you are in such a hurry to die, let them go."

Victor muttered to himself that he had a hunch that the peace in this country would be broken soon.

At that time, Ellington under Donne will be his most powerful backer.

The mark of the holy sword.

This is a very spectacular rift valley. The peaks on both sides are like being split by a sword. The cliffs are smooth and steep. In the center of the rift valley, a huge fortress up to 100 meters stands here, blocking the whole rift valley.

Holy sword fortress, this is the Empire. Seeing the seal on the inkpad, the man in black shook: "hey... Your highness, do you need me to avoid it?"

"No."

Gillard said faintly and opened the envelope.

Gillard, my son, Alex, is all right. Please don't worry.

Chaos has appeared. Rule the third legion, crown and throne as soon as possible. Don't worry about those rumors.

Once the war breaks out, Ellington will become your strong backup. Donne will be your most powerful ally. Don't affect Ellington's development, don't affect Ellington's development, don't affect Ellington's development! Remember!

There were only a few simple lines on the envelope, which Gillard read at a glance.

However, the letter made his mood worse.

If there is no explanation, Gillard can still turn a blind eye, but Victor specially wrote a letter and asked the master to send it. This explanation seems to be trying to cover up. Originally, it was only a trace of doubt, but now this doubt has suddenly magnified hundreds and thousands of times.

In particular, the three sentences in a row did not let him affect the development of Ellington, which made Gillard frown.

In any case, he felt that Victor cared more about Ellington and Donne than him.

Is Donne really his half brother?

Otherwise Victor has no reason to care about him so much!

Victor only emphasized it because he cared too much about the identity of the messenger of Donne, but he didn't expect that it was because of these words that he was self defeating.

Noticing the subtle expression on Gillard's face, the man in black smiled, but he didn't speak. He was waiting for Gillard to make a decision.

As an emperor who wants to dominate the world, he must abandon kindness and stifle any possibility.

Gillard is more qualified than victor and aurelia, so they will find Gillard.

Gillard looked up. "What's your name?"

The man in Black opened his hood and showed an ordinary face, but his eyes were deep. He smiled: "Marcus, your highness."

"You said, do you have a way to make a person strong quickly? Can you also make him loyal to me?"

"Yes, just use some... Small skills."

"Anyone can?"

"Anyone."

"In that case, why not control me directly?"

"Because we need a smart prince, not a puppet who obeys us."

Marcus laughed: "in some ways, we must admit that his highness is very capable."

"Excuse."

Gillard sneered: "you can't control people whose strength exceeds a certain level?"

Marcus smiled without speaking.

Gillard shouted to the door, "Herald, tell General Marshall to see me."

A moment later, the armored General Marshall entered the room and went straight to Gillard: "salute you, your highness."

Gillard nodded and said to Marcus, "show me."

Although Gillard is already a strong man of the ninth rank of the supreme level, his influence on the third imperial Legion has not increased much in recent years in the scar of the holy sword, which is the only thing he can't accept. It is obviously a good choice to operate on Marshall.

Marcus still smiled and said nothing.

Gillard waited for a moment and suddenly woke up. After General Marshall entered the room, he looked calm and didn't seem to see Marcus at all.

But that's impossible. Marcus is standing there.

Then there is only one reason

"General Marshall is your man!"

Marcus chuckled in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, congratulations on finally understanding. In fact, not only General Marshall, but also the third legion of the Empire are our people. If you are willing to cooperate with us, I can tell you some more amazing news."

Gillard's face is very ugly. No wonder he can't get their loyalty in any way in recent years, even if he takes off his armor, fights with the soldiers in the rotten mud, eats and lives with them, or even trains with them.

It turns out that the whole third legion of the Empire has been incorporated by the dark snake!

Marshall knelt down on one knee to Marcus and clasped his chest with his right hand: "Marshall salutes you, the great soul snake, master Marcus. I heard that the Lord has awakened. Please pay my respects to the Lord for me."

"I see. Get up and stand by."

Marcus's faint words made Marshall stand aside, and Marcus's arbitrary command attitude towards Marshall made Gillard even more angry.

"Your Highness, perhaps you don't know our power... Do you know where this is?"

"The mark of the holy sword."

"Do you know what's in the north?"

"Of course it's the kingdom of Grayson. What are you trying to say - wait!" a thought flashed through Gillard's mind. "You control the third imperial Legion. Do you want to --"

"If necessary, we can start the war at any time."

Marcus laughed and stretched out his hand: "Your Highness, enjoy your cooperation?"

Gillard frowned and said, "I said I wouldn't cooperate with you."

With a "clang", Marshall's long sword was just pulled out half, and Marcus pressed it back. Marcus smiled and held out his hand: "it's utilization. Let's use each other happily, how about it?"

Gillard thought for a moment and said faintly, "I don't like shaking hands with others."

"Just right, I don't like it very much."

Marcus withdrew his hand, his eyes emitting a strange light: "Your Highness is really cautious."

Looking into his eyes, Gillard was confused for a moment, then shook her head vigorously, held the table and said, "so, what's your first thing? Kill that Donne first?"

"Donne? No, no, no, although I want to kill him, Olivia has gone to solve him. Of course, my task is... To let you wear that crown."

Marcus's eyes were brighter and showed a gloomy smile: "for the sake of safety, now is a good opportunity, isn't it?"

"Good chance...?" the confusion in Gillard's eyes slowly disappeared, and the faint black light flashed, "yes... This is a good opportunity."
