"Archduke Laszlo Varna, if I'm not wrong, it's false that you don't know your life or death after the defeat of the Centaur. It's true to secretly return to xiaoboyi and gather troops."

Loren said in a deep voice, "maybe... You and your army have been near Qianzhang city until our arrival."

The voice fell, and the black haired wizard could clearly feel that the old man's eyes opposite had changed a little.

"How do you know?"

Prince Varna said casually.

"Two reasons." Loren said slowly, "first, your appearance is really a coincidence... When we blocked the attack of the Centaur and were ready to fight back."

"Second, I never believe in 'coincidence' in this world!"

As the voice fell, only the crackling of matches in the fireplace could be heard in the hall.

The atmosphere was heavy.

"You guessed right." Laszlo Varna's voice was hoarse and tired of staying awake all night, but his wolf like eyes were still sharp: "it's not a coincidence, but it's an accident."

"Unexpected?"

"If you Byrne people didn't show up, I wasn't going to return to the army for rescue, and I didn't even plan to recapture Qianzhang city immediately."

"What are you talking about?" Lauren raised his eyebrows. "Sorry, I seem to have heard something very..."

But the next second, Loren was stunned.

Wait, is it difficult

"Just as you said, Duke Loren Turin." the old man's eyes were burning and his words were fierce: "there's no coincidence in the world."

"Centaur barbarian, my defeat and the siege of Qianzhang city... It's no coincidence!"

I see

"So from the beginning, this war was not a centaur rising and invading the Empire, right?" the black haired wizard looked solemnly: "this war... Was designed by some people?"

"I am seventy-eight years old this year. Your dead grandfather Leonardo was a child in front of me." raslo Varna's words showed a chill:

"Such a dirty and cheap conspiracy... I can smell that coquettish smell three miles away!"

"So you sit and watch the Centaur besiege Qianzhang city and concentrate your troops to lie dormant in the dark. You just want to see who will jump out of the shadow after Qianzhang city falls?"

Although it was a rhetorical tone, Loren was very sure: "until... Our Bain reinforcements really came."

The old man smashed the glass hard and filled himself with wine again; He sat down again and poured a full glass for Loren.

"You're very clever." Laszlo Varna looked at him coldly. "Angert and Eckert didn't look away. They really chose a good Duke for Byrne!"

"I guess... I don't have to tell you why we have to meet in private?"

Lauren nodded slightly, raised his glass and said, "walls have ears."

"Remember my words, you can sit in your seat, Loren Turin." the old man's voice was still shaking, and he could hear that he was trying to restrain his anger:

"No one in the world can be trusted except himself!"

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more dignified, and the wind outside the door and the crackling sound of firewood burning in the fireplace began to become a little strange.

It sounds like a group of cloaked figures hiding in the corner whispering.

"Dwarf... Right?" Lauren asked in a deep voice.

The old man didn't answer. He closed his teeth and said nothing.

When he saw that there was a catapult in the Centaur army that besieged Qianzhang City, Loren was aware of it - according to the comments of the so-called "technology tree" in his previous life, this semi civilized savage race could never make a catapult by itself.

Although saklan's Alchemy and military industries are very strong, smuggling in this area and the prevalence of weapons trade within the Empire, it is not particularly difficult for centaurs to obtain a small number of steel weapons, crossbows, and even armor and alchemy weapons.

But even so, there will never be a crazy smuggler who will sell the catapult to the Centaur!

Since the possibility of smuggling has been thrown out, it can only be that there are some secretly funded forces... In addition to dwarves, Loren really can't think of anyone who can arm tens of thousands of Centaur tribes to the teeth and even take out siege weapons.

Of course, you can't forget the night watchman.

Byrne's final result became uncontrollable because the night watchman defected and took refuge in the blood Church... But Boye? Loren did not believe that Ruud infinite would forget to put a nail in Byrne's strongest ally.

Even now, I'm afraid some people are secretly sending the news that they have arrived in Qianzhang City, the Centaur has been repulsed, and Laslo Varna is still alive to the sky palace.

In other words, from the beginning, the heavenly palace should have some knowledge of the war, and may even know some of the dark scenes - but none of them said that they knew nothing and stepped into this chaotic battlefield.

Isn't it obvious what the heart is?

There is an inevitable connection between things... This sentence is true.

"Not only the dwarves, but also other guys." Laszlo Varna's expression was very ugly, obviously trying to resist his anger at the bottom of his heart: "do you think a group of barbarians can beat my Boyi Hussars with their armor and swords?"

"Among those barbarians... There are wizards!"

"What?!"

Lauren let out a cry and took a cold breath.

How is this possible?!

The old man clenched his glass, his voice trembled slightly, and the pupil seemed to reflect that scene, which made him feel afraid: "Loren Turin... If you saw what I saw, you wouldn't be so surprised."

Silence, dead silence.

Laszlo Varna picked up the jug and filled the glasses for the two men.

"I don't know who it is or where he is hiding now." the old man said calmly, "but I know this man is very insidious and powerful. He is more powerful than the opponents I have met in most of my life. I'm not sure that even these Centaur barbarians are just his chess pieces."

"Although I don't want to admit it, the saber in our Boyi's hand... Is probably not his opponent!"

"So you need us, more accurately, Byrne's troops and resources." Lauren looked at him with steady eyes. "Watching Byrne's army besieged in the rescue of Qianzhang city... It doesn't look like a gesture that a rescuer should have."

"Otherwise, why should you sit here and let me pour your wine?" raslo Varna's expression was natural:

"You play well and let the Boyi people see your ability, so you can have equal dialogue with us... The weak are not worthy of respect!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Loren was noncommittal about this statement.

"The enemy this time is really a monster that only Byrne and Boye can deal with." Archduke Varna put down his glass and showed a cold look on his firm face:

"When we boyans are defeated and killed... What good end can you Bain come to?"

"So..." Lauren breathed and smiled, "do you want to make an alliance with me?"

"Byrne and Boye... We are an alliance, and we are brothers in robes who advance and retreat together. Blood is thicker than water." the old man's eyes are deep, and his hoarse voice has an indescribable power:

"In order to help your black Duke win the Centaur war, he used up most of Boye's wealth without frowning. Further on, when the dwarves were still burning, killing and plundering on your Bain land, Boye's Hussars fought side by side with your Bain and retreated from the enemy together!"

"It's no different this time... You need us, and we need you." the old man's voice was calm: "join hands with me and help me kill this guy who is hiding in the dark, and I'll give you what you want most."

"What do you want most?"

"That's right." Archduke Varna sneered and grinned: "what can make you really become the Lord of Byrne - the winner of the Centaur war and the Savior of boy... Is not inferior to the reputation of 'black Duke Roland'
