Eagle Fort, inside the restaurant.
With the first-order prey brought by Catherine tonight, the dinner is more sumptuous than before.
As a member of the operation, Sitz was also invited to participate in the dinner.
Kane sat on the main seat of the dining table, cutting the wolf steak rich in gravy, swallowing it in one bite, with endless aftertaste.
He said with satisfaction: "It's no wonder it's a first-order extraordinary beast, and this time it's thanks to Catherine, you brought it."
Catherine said indifferently: "I can't finish this wolf meat by myself, so it's better to enjoy it with adults. That guy Marcus is not here today. It's a pity."
Kane smiled and said, "You are thoughtful."
Immediately, he looked at Sitz again and said, "How was the hunt this time?"
Sitz bit the wolf meat carefully, and replied: "Master Kane, today went very well, and I also successfully released a fire elemental spell."
Kane nodded and said, "Very well, using these spells more will not do you any harm, on the contrary, it can increase your proficiency."
Catherine also added on the side: "My lord, you didn't see it today, the fire spell burned all the Timberwolves into coals.
Kane was a little surprised and said: "This power seems to be much greater than I imagined. Well, Sitz will practice more in the future. Your spells can be used a lot."
"I'll practice more, my lord," Sitz replied.
The dinner also ended in a few people chatting.
After the meal, Sitz and Catherine returned to their respective residences. It is worth mentioning that Sitz has been converted from the previous dormitory to a single room in the castle because he was promoted to Kane's squire.
As for Kane, he is still practicing at night.
One month later, in the 728th year of the Dylan calendar, June 20th.
In the early morning of this day, Kane, who had just finished training, was about to go to the study to deal with the important papers.
He was stopped by the official Jess, who didn't say anything, but handed Kane a letter with the king's family logo.
Kane, who realized that the words were wrong, immediately returned to the study and opened the letter with a letter opener.
The letter was written by the current King of Dylan, Andena Vess.
Although there are many words of greeting in it, there is only one content in the letter, that is, the kingdom has declared war on the orc empire.
Although he had been prepared for a long time, Kane was still like a bolt from the blue when he heard the news.
King Andena also wrote in the letter that in this war, Earl Manvila will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the southern battlefield.
As for this earl, he had made friends with Kane before, and the object of loyalty of that Horst.
At the same time, King Andena will temporarily transfer the power of command to the earl.
This means that Kane will obey the earl's instructions in the next war.
Finally, the letter stated that Kane should not act rashly for the time being, and wait for the earl's arrangement for him before starting to act.
After packing up the letters solemnly and putting them on the desk, Kane thought about the situation in his territory.
First of all, Rigit territory is located in the southeastern part of Dylan Kingdom, a relatively remote area.
Going a little further is the border of the kingdom, so there are often some orcs in the southern forest on Kane's side.
As for the southern border, a viscount and an earl jointly guarded it, and they were the first to block the orc attack.
Kane didn't know when Earl Manvila's order would come down, but now Marcus and Catherine had to be summoned to put the territory on alert.
Before Kane called Jess over, there was a commotion outside Eagle Fort.
Kane went to the window to find out, but unexpectedly there was a team walking towards the castle in the distance.
The leader had a slightly familiar face, and that exclusive aristocratic costume, plus that look in the eyes that looked superior to everyone.
Riom, Kane remembered each other's name.
Is it to pass orders to the count? Thinking of this, Kane walked out of the castle and came to the city gate.
Riyom's team also came to the door, he ordered the team to stop, and got off the horse himself.
He walked towards Kane step by step with a smile on his face, as if he had forgotten the last time he made a fool of himself in front of Kane.
He said: "Good day, Baron Rigit, I didn't expect us to meet again, it's really a fate."
Kane also nodded with a smile, and said, "Good day, Mr. Riom, but it's like this. I don't know what's going on here this time?"
But he shook his head in his heart, who wants to have a relationship with you, this arrogant guy.
Upon hearing this, Riom took out the earl's order from his pocket.
He said: "Presumably, Baron Ridgett has received the news from His Majesty before. This time, I am here to replace the Earl and pass on orders."
[Good day, Kane Gerrard, Lord Riggett.]
[I am ordered by His Highness, and I have now taken over your command authority. From now on, please quickly lead the soldiers under your command to station at the mountain fort to prevent the invasion of the orcs. The king has now led an army of 100,000 to attack the orc empire in the north , he does not allow any fall in the south.]
[Oddtim Penst, Earl of Manvila, your sincere friend.]
After reading the letter, Riom handed it over to Kane for viewing, and at the same time took out a small map.
After Kane finished reading, he said, "Look, Baron Rigit."
He pointed at the position where the Viscount was guarding, drew a circle, and said, "This is the guarding area of the Viscount Victoria."
Immediately, he pointed to the position where the earl was guarding, drew a circle again, and said, "This is the area guarded by the earl of Odes."
Riyom looked up at Kane and said, "Now, Baron Rigit, have you found anything?"
Kane looked at the map in surprise. If it was true what Riom said, there would be a small gap between the guarding ranges of the two nobles.
Riom continued to explain: "This is Baron Rigit, your guard position. There is only one front-line fortress in this place. It has not been used for some years, but it can still be useful."
"However, the two nobles are unwilling to take over and take charge of this place, so we have to ask the nearest Baron Ridgett to take over, and trouble the baron to defend this line of defense."
After speaking, he took back the map, turned around and rode on the horse, ready to leave.
Riyom said: "Baron Rigit, I will say goodbye first. The Earl entrusted me with many orders to execute, so I won't go in for tea."
Kane, who came back to his senses, also smiled and said: "Mr. Riom, please go, I believe we will meet again."
Riom gave Kane a meaningful look, and then led the team away.
Looking at the other party's figure going away, Kane also turned around and ordered the housekeeper, Jess, to call a few of his subordinates for a meeting.
