After hearing the soldier's report, the people present had different expressions.
Qin Ran maintained his habitual indifference and indifference.
Mary, on the other hand, showed disgust.
Earl Shirin looked contemptuous.
You must know that before the news of the victory came out, the messenger sent by the old Earl of Will personally told the people present that the reinforcements led by the other party were still four days away from Luldry, and the news of the victory came. Two days after the news came out, the other party had already arrived 20 kilometers below the city of Luldry.
"After traveling for four days in two days, Old Earl Will is really good at commanding troops."
"This speed is really admirable."
Mary said so.
The words were full of sarcasm.
In front of Qin Ran, Mary had no intention of hiding her thoughts.
As for Earl Shirin beside him
I'm sorry, when she saw Qin Ran, Mary automatically ignored the rest.
"What are you going to do?"
Qin Ran asked.
He doesn't intend to interfere too much in these matters.
Because, Qin Ran knew very well that Mary was Warren's successor, and in the end, she would become Warren's queen.
And he
It is impossible to stay by her side all the time.
"I?"
Mary was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to ask Qin Ran, but immediately, the smart princess understood what was going on.
Qin Ran's 'going out' twice is enough to remind Mary.
Although she really wanted to travel with Qin Ran, the education she had received since she was a child made her unable to give up her responsibilities.
The contradiction made the young princess contemplate.
But soon, the young princess put aside these things.
At least, Qin Ran is right in front of her right now, isn't he
So…
"I hope to see the old earl alone and give him a commendation."
Mary said so.
"Preferably at Luldrey."
After a pause, Mary added.
Crack, clap.
Earl Shirin applauded lightly, and admiration appeared in Mary's eyes.
It is not surprising that he could think of such a way to separate the old Earl of Will from the 20,000 reinforcements in the name of rewards and control them under his own hands.
But considering Mary's age, it was very rare.
"I can't wait to see the old earl."
"The last time we met was a few years ago."
Earl Shirin sighed.
Of course, such an exclamation was still full of sarcasm.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the young earl was not worried that the old earl would not come.
after all…
Earl Xilin looked at Qin Ran who was beside Mary, and suddenly lamented in his heart for the old earl whom he had not seen for a long time.
I am afraid that at this time, the other party will also have a hard time making a choice.
Is it to put yourself under the control of others
Or choose to face a strong man who can stand up to an army with one person
If it was him, it would be a headache.
When the messenger brought the news to Old Earl Will, a convoy slowly drove out of the Warren camp.
This convoy was escorted by a team of former Thunder Fortress guards, accompanied by Kieran and Earl Xilin.
On the only horse in the entire convoy, James VIII was lying on a soft bed, his already pale face looked even paler under the sun at this moment.
Everyone can see that His Majesty the King is about to run out of fuel and may pass away at any time.
But no one will bring it up at this time.
Under the premise of a big victory, it is enough to cover up many shortcomings.
Even the weakness and compromise of His Majesty were overshadowed by the brilliance of victory at this moment.
At least, he is still a benevolent majesty.
Mary sat on the soft bed and took care of her father in a low voice.
Qin Ran and Earl Xilin rode aside.
"I hope to reach an agreement with you."
Looking at Qin Ran beside him, Earl Xilin said bluntly.
This time, without Mary's interruption, the young earl spoke his mind.
"I hope to obtain the highest meaning of the Snake School."
"I know this request is very rude, but please believe me, I don't have any malice, I just hope to use the highest mystery of the Snake Sect to complete my family's secret technique: Snake Transformation into Dragon!"
"This is my only chance to follow the steps of my ancestors."
"Please agree to my request."
"For this reason, I am willing to share all the family secrets with you, and I can promise you three requests that do not violate the glory of the Xilin family."
The young Earl looked at Qin Ran sincerely.
The highest mystery of the Snake School
Qin Ran was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of the attributes that were activated during the battle with the 'King of the Grassland'.
Undoubtedly, Earl Shirin in front of him had some misunderstanding about this.
However, Qin Ran did not explain.
Facing Earl Xilin, who was only a little better than a stranger, Qin Ran was naturally reserved, but he was very interested in the secret technique of the Xilin family proposed by Earl Xilin.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Kieran said.
"I need to think about it."
"certainly!"
"Such things must be considered!"
The young earl, who was not rejected outright, was immediately overjoyed.
The absence of the worst situation is enough to represent the hope of fulfilling his long-cherished wish.
As long as he shows enough sincerity!
Thinking of this, the young earl secretly made a certain decision.
Kieran didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the young earl beside him. When the other party mentioned 'Snake Sect', Kieran thought of the leader of the Snake Sect who slipped through the net.
Moreover, it is natural to think of the seven pieces of parchment from the other party.
Qin Ran was quite sure that the opponent would not give up the seven pieces of parchment, as long as this was used as a bait, the opponent would definitely appear.
However, compared to this method, Kieran has a better way.
Ga!
An order was issued, and the fire crow, who was connected with Qin Ran, uttered a cry, and flew into Luldry like a bolt of lightning.
Although the fire crow is miraculous, it is not yet able to lock a certain target in a city with a population of 100,000.
But doing the opposite is completely possible.
Fire Raven can't lock on to a target.
But it is no problem for some people to lock the Fire Raven.
For example: Crows!
That ambitious Maxim who has no corresponding ability, after seeing the fire crow, will definitely come to him.
The character of the other party has already decided this matter.
And using the other party to find the snake faction is a perfect thing.
Is there anything that knows you better than a friend
That must be the enemy!
If the old enemies of the Raven faction and the Snake faction were not keeping tabs on each other, Kieran wouldn't believe anything.
The convoy drove into Luldry safely and entered the palace.
In the same way, a message also entered the palace.
"What did you say?"
"The old Earl of Will was assassinated?"
Qin Ran looked at the messenger in front of him and frowned.
