The spirit of war in DNF is immortal.A

Chapter 428
The Duchy of Belle Mare, Hutton Marr, the inner hall of the royal palace.

When it comes to the atmosphere, the atmosphere here is far heavier than that of the dark elves.The 'Iron Lady' Queen Skadi, who is calm and calm when encountering anything, is thinking seriously, and the faces of the nobles of the kingdom are full of panic and anxiety, and they are talking in low voices.It is far from being so indifferent in the face of sudden events a few years ago.

But it's no wonder for them. The Principality of Belle Mare has faced too many challenges in recent years, and the pressure is increasing day by day.First, there was the provocation of the Dros Empire, then the invasion of the Bantu tribe, and now there is a possibility of a war with the Dark Elf Kingdom. Everyone can see the weakness and reluctance of the Principality of Belmar.

"We should strengthen the army at the border. Otherwise, once the dark elves send out a large army, the Afalia defense line will not be able to withstand it at all. At that time, the Dros Empire will take advantage of the fire and the Bantu will continue to attack. Our principality is in danger!"

"You can't increase the troops without authorization, otherwise the Dark Elf Kingdom has no intention of marching, and we will definitely offend the other party if we do so. It will also be a big trouble at that time!"

"Oh, what a bad luck. Why has everything been going wrong in the Principality in recent years!"

Although the discussion below is small, Queen Skadi can actually hear it.But after hearing it, she didn't have the heart to reprimand these nobles, because her own heart was really messed up.Recently, the principality has suffered many incidents, and the strong pressure has overwhelmed this strong woman.

"Your Majesty Queen Skadi, President Shalan of the Continental Association of Magicians wants to see you!" Suddenly, a guard ran into the door and asked respectfully in front of Skadi.

"Shalan? Invite her to come in." Hearing that it was Shalan coming in, Skadi, who was in a state of confusion, suddenly woke up, and suddenly realized the important point.That is the messenger sent by the dark elf kingdom for peace, Sharan.

"Your Majesty, long time no see. How are you?"

Shalan, who was wearing an evening gown and a bloody rose on her head, was still so charming, but her face was very anxious. After entering the inner hall and seeing Skadi, she bowed slightly and said.

"President Shalan, I'm not very well now. As for the reason, I think you may already know." Skadi smiled wryly, shook her head and said.

"Is it true that the Neupera incident was not planned by the principality?" Shalan walked to Skadi and asked solemnly.

"Of course it's impossible! President Sharon is on the west coast. You should know that Belle Mare is in troubled times. We don't have the energy or thought to do anything to the Dark Elf Kingdom. What's more, the relationship between me and Queen Mia has always been It is peaceful, how could it suddenly change. There must be something hidden in it!" Skadi shook his head resolutely, and responded slowly.

"That's good!" Sharan breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of the burden in her heart: "I have already received news from my old colleague Krent that the Dark Elf Kingdom has decided to conduct a careful investigation before discussing whether to send troops. Krent was sent to Neupera to investigate. As long as it was not done by the principality, then the possibility of war between the two countries is not very great."

"boom!"

Hearing what Shalan said, a group of dukes and marquises suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately began to talk excitedly.After all, this is good news anyway.

"It's just that, Queen, you should also send some personnel to investigate and cooperate with Krent. It is important to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, otherwise some warlike elders in the Dark Elf Kingdom may use some secret tricks, Prevent normal investigations. The belligerent thoughts in their hearts are too strong, and they must be suppressed." Sharan did not relax completely, but thought about it for a while, and said to Queen Scarti.

"Well, I see, your suggestion is very good." Queen Skadi is also a very decisive person, she nodded and turned to the person standing in the shadow of the corner of the inner hall and said: "Captain Borken, then This matter is up to you to execute. I order you to form a special investigation team, find elite members to go to Afalia, and help the Krent messengers to find clues of the enemy together."

"Yes, Her Majesty."

The person in the shadow never showed his face, but he responded calmly.Just by listening to the voice, one can know that this is a man.

"Since I have the right to actively choose players, then, Your Majesty, I will prepare now. However, if the players I choose do not accept joining the team, do I have the right to use gold coins to recruit them?" The voice in the shadow was silent After a while, he continued.

"Well, yes. If you go to Afalia, maybe many people in the royal guard will not be able to have that kind of strength. I allow you to use a lot of money to recruit players. Of course, the price should be appropriate. The gold coins in the treasury are also in short supply right now. "Skadi thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

The man in the shadow got an affirmative answer and left the inner hall respectfully.

But when he was about to walk a distance of about [-] meters, he sighed inexplicably: "In the current principality, the combatants who can be used are either on the front lines of the Dross and Bantu tribes, or they are guarding the mourning cave. Even if you have gold coins, where can you find a capable guy?"

"Hmm. Let's look for it from Hutton Mar first, and chat with those well-informed 'Dimouth', maybe we will gain something."

Walking in the sun, the man in the shadows finally revealed his full face.He was wearing the white battle robe of the elite palace guards of the Principality of Bel Mare, with the principality's logo on his shoulders, and a peculiar helmet on his head, tightly covering all the gaps.The black face covering covered his face, making it impossible for people to know his real face.And on his back, he carried a strange oriental fighting stick with tassels, almost as long as a person, and less than ten centimeters from the ground.

Borken, the captain of the elite palace guard of the Principality of Belle Mare, is now the captain of the secret investigation team directly under the queen.Of course, he is the only polished commander in the current team.

……

Hutton Mall, Sewer District.

"Ouch! My lord of the palace guard, I, Paparo, at most steal the money bag and steal the chiken raised by others, but... I have never done anything disrespectful to the royal family!"

In an unknown tavern in the sewer area, several well-informed gophers were quietly exchanging news, and one of them was picked up in the air by the neck.

Seeing this, the rest of the field mice tacitly had no sense of loyalty, gave up on their companions who were talking about brothers just now, and disappeared into the tavern in a flash.Only the remaining guy with a sad face begged for mercy from the existence behind him.

"Hmm... It really is Dimouth who has a keen eye and a great mind, and he guessed my identity just by seeing my shoes." Borken, who was dressed as a captain of the guard, was also very surprised, and put the Papa in his hand. Luo put it down and said.

The Landmouth was pulled up by the volley just now, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to see what kind of person is behind him.But just by looking down at the shoes, he found that the person behind him was wearing a pair of guard shoes that only royal court guards would wear, and immediately begged for mercy.It can be seen that the flexibility of the reaction made Borken very shocked.Although Diemouth's occupation of selling news and cheating to survive is very sensitive, this person should be one of the best.

"Hey... Your lord, you praise me too much. I don't know what your lord wants me to do." Paparo is an ordinary person with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but what can't be underestimated is that this kind of ordinary person is actually the most well-informed fighter The messenger is also a strange feature of the Arad continent.

"I don't care about your tricks and abductions. They are all the affairs of the city guards. I came to you because I wanted to know if there are any powerful fighters from our country in the nearest Hutton Mar or nearby places." Borken sat in the broken room. Sitting on the chair at the wine table, he looked at Paparo and said.

"Hey...My lord, you also know what we do. The information is used to support the family... You see if it is..." Paparo immediately smiled when he heard that Borken came to inquire about the news When the peach blossoms came out, he rubbed his index finger and thumb obscenely, expressing some meaning.

"...City Guards, right? I remember that Salamonto, the commander of the City Guards, seems to be patrolling around here. It seems that I want to look for him and talk to him." Borken looked at Papalona With a wretched look, he also said with a smile.

"Don't, don't be an adult. Isn't it just a piece of news, it's given to you for free." Paparo's forehead dripped with sweat instantly, he forced a smile, and said: "If you talk about the recent Hutton Marr's strong battle Professionals...there really are not many. There have been a lot of wars recently, and many warriors have been recruited to join the legion to resist the Dros Empire and the Bantu. There are really not many masters who are active in Snow Mountain and Dark City, and are still idle in Hutton Mar. Well, my lord, what is the rank of masters you need?"

"Above level 35, you can only go high but not low." Borken thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"Then it's gone..." Paparo thought for a while, then shook his head in distress.

"I'm going to find Salamonto now!" Borken nodded upon hearing this, and was about to stand up immediately.

"Don't, don't, don't be a lord! Yes, there are some. This is the news I suppressed at the bottom of the box!" Paparo said with a completely sad face when he heard the words: "According to the most hidden source, someone found the black blade team. Paris, Lucio, Nina and others gathered in Hutton Mar. And some witnesses saw a person who looked very much like Leonard the Black Blade went to Kelly's enhanced shop on Central Street. Comprehensive Based on this kind of news, we can almost conclude that the Black Blade team is now in Hutton Mar... Sure enough, we saw a group of them on the teleportation array just now, and my men also followed them into the same teleportation array, and now they have been It spread to the Alphalia camp. They have reached an average level of 35 organizations, and now they are the only ones."

"That's all?" Borken asked with a flash of light in his eyes.

"That's really all." Paparo was about to cry: "This is my last news, and I lost my money!"

"Don't worry, even if I know, I won't tell. You can still sell this news. Here are three copper coins, just treat it as if I treated you to a bowl of malt wine." Borken got After getting the news he wanted, he was quite satisfied, and after carefully leaving three copper coins, he left in a hurry.

"Fuck! Return the members of the royal guard! It only cost three copper coins to buy a message, how can it be so cheap!" Seeing that Borken had left, Paparo cursed loudly behind him.

"Boss, check out!"

"The money for a glass of ale is already here, I'm leaving."

"Wait, wait, the malt wine has already risen to four copper coins, and you are still short of me by one copper coin!"

"Damn it, member of the royal guard!"
