What to do if your crush is the Earl

Niles Town.

During the guarding of the palace, Antoine cultivated several cronies, and this time he went to the battlefield and brought them with him.

A group of ten people drove their horses on a country road.

Strange to say, during the war, the small villages and towns seemed quite peaceful, but everyone closed their doors and did not leave, and there were not many people in the streets and byways.

Antoine and the others didn't bother, they just walked in the direction they should go, speeding up.

Passing through a village and town, that is, for a short while, I returned to the countryside.

Most of the territory of the empire is in the plain area, the land is vast, except for large cities and villages, there are endless fields and woods.

In the places we passed along the way, there were remnants of soldiers fighting in some places, and some were just wilderness where almost no one set foot. From time to time, there were deer looking out in the forest.

However, Antoine was not interested in any of these.

All he could think about now was the contents of that letter.

He never knew that the empire once had a Prince His Royal Highness.

Bremen never mentioned it to him, and there were not many rumors in the market.

Therefore, An Tuowan had doubts about this man who turned out to be the prince of the empire.

But every word and every sentence in the letter, and even the details of the unnamed monument behind the apple orchard in the palace, which they don't know the origin of, have a theory.Between half-truth and half-false, it makes people doubtful

What's more, this matter involves His Majesty's safety.

This is someone he must never lose.

He has also heard about the destination he is going to this time. Kanaga Volcano, located at the junction of the Empire and the Boser Empire, is an extinct volcano that has been silent for a hundred years.

There must be a reason for the other party to choose this place.

The terrain of the volcanic field is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to be attacked. If someone brings a large number of reinforcements, they can be seen at a glance.

If that was really a prince of the empire, His Royal Highness, he is really a shrewd person.

Fancheng.

The tasks in the rear are actually quite idle.

The army is on the front line, and Antoine has also gone to the front line. As long as Martin and the others can stabilize the group of ministers with different ideas, the crisis will be resolved when the news of Breman's safety comes.

Our lord duke can't even sit still.

"That group of people are so annoying." Martin sat on the wicker chair on the large balcony of the palace guest room, "Come to me all day to inquire, and do I know more than them?"

This is in front of Xiao Sheng, it is rare to let go of your guard and say a few words.Usually in front of outsiders, His Excellency the Duke would not have such childish and true emotions.

Xiao Sheng smiled and knelt down: "Are you worried about His Majesty and them?"

Martin withdrew his smile, and some of the suppressed worry was revealed: "For sure."

From the moment I received the news, I have been a little uneasy.

He can probably understand why Breman made the choice to conscript himself.

A young heir who just lost his father, is a fledgling, and there are many dissatisfied voices around him. Bremen needs to choose a method to quickly establish his prestige.

Winning the jackpot in a war against an enemy country is undoubtedly the most convenient option.

He was gratified that his childhood friend had grown up, came out of the turmoil and the shadow of losing his father, and regained his strength, but also worried that he had put himself in such a dangerous place, life and death were unpredictable.

Martin: "During those years in Fancheng, how did you get along with His Majesty?"

When asked such a question suddenly, Xiao Sheng was a little surprised: "I'm usually in the special training camp, and His Majesty Bremen doesn't come often."

"Then where do you usually live?"

"Others live in the barracks at the training camp, and I... I go home."

Martin frowned: "Why?"

"Because my father was not in good health at that time, His Majesty allowed me to go home to take care of and visit him every night." At this point, Xiao Sheng glanced at Martin slightly, hesitant to speak.

Martin noticed it a little bit, and was about to ask, when the voice of a messenger suddenly sounded behind him: "My lord, there is news ahead!!"

"Oh? How about it!"

"The army has found His Majesty's trail. They are in the mountains and forests to the southwest! Captain Tarek O'Red has already led the troops towards that direction."

"Okay!" Martin thought happily for a moment, and suddenly felt that the wording

Something is wrong, "—has Antoine already joined the army?"

"This... I don't know." The soldier hesitated for a moment, then said, "In the information I received, there is no news about Mr. Antoine."

There is no news of Antoine?Didn't he go to the front to find the army?

Martin felt something was wrong. He thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the soldier who had been kneeling on one knee: "Okay, go down. I'll pass on new news when I have it."

"Yes." Xiaobing led the order and left.

Xiao Sheng was on the side and asked, "Which side is the southwest of the battle line?"

"Makonsai Forest. Next to it is an extinct volcano on the border of the empire." Martin was wearing a black ducal dress, and sat up with his long legs folded. The silver metal epaulets reflected the dazzling sunlight. He propped his chin with one hand , and said while thinking, "The vegetation on that mountain is barren and of no use value. It was occupied by Poser a few years ago, and the empire didn't pay much attention to it."

"Why are they there?"

"It is said that the Boser royal family built a palace for him in order to please an adult from the Eagle Empire," Martin said.

Boser is a small country between the two big countries. It has been relying on cloth art to trade with neighboring countries in exchange for some supplies all year round. It is weak and weak.

Xiao Sheng thought about it, and asked the same question.

"Don't worry about it." Martin smiled and looked at Xiao Sheng, "It's all rumors. But it seems... this incident seems to have an inseparable relationship with that adult."

During this conversation, no one expected that in less than two days, the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse.

"What did you say?!!"

In the meeting hall, the Duke sitting at the head suddenly stood up and stared at the messenger with fiery eyes.

When those eyes are affectionate and gentle, it can make people addicted, but when they are serious, it really makes people suspect that the forest inside has changed color and become a raging blue wave, hitting the rocks and the shore.

The waiter who came back was trembling, but continued to bite the bullet: "My lord, we received a report from the front that the Kanaga Volcano on the border suddenly... suddenly erupted, and His Majesty, who was originally found nearby... At present, it has lost its trace, and Master Antoine... as well."

The bronze sculpture on the table fell to the ground.

The waiter in black behind the Duke stepped forward anxiously and supported him: "Sir?!"

-

Kanaga.

The entire sky was covered in volcanic ash.

In other places, wildfires ignited and continued.

Imperial soldiers are scouting the area wearing homemade wet cloth masks.

The battlefield has basically been cleaned up.There are charred dead wood everywhere, as well as discarded clothes and cloth strips of various colors.

The enemy army was either killed in the previous volcanic eruption, or was wiped out by the imperial army that came later, and the few survivors were also captured and captured.

It can only be said that the poor enemy army did not take advantage of the right time and place for this battle, and it was disadvantageous to send troops.

But even so, the empire did not benefit from it.The sergeants have been searching here for two days.But there is still no trace of their Majesty.

Even the person in power of the enemy army has not been seen.

That is to say, although it seems that the army of the empire has won a complete victory with the right time and place, in fact, they have no results at all.Firstly, His Majesty was not found, and secondly, the leader of the opponent was released during the chaos.

One after another, some soldiers fainted because they couldn't adapt to the residual poisonous gas in the air.

In the venue where people were scattered every 20 meters, no one spoke, only coughing, and the sound of pulling the remaining charcoal sticks sounded from time to time.

Frustration and loss permeated the entire army.
