After the prince was captured by the dragon

Chapter 10

The sun was setting, and a layer of twilight shrouded the northwest frontier county, reducing the chilling feeling of the Governor's Mansion.

Compared to yesterday's hustle and bustle, today's Governor's Mansion is undoubtedly much quieter.

In Lynn's room, a group of people kept counting around a photo album, and the atmosphere was tense.At the window, a pink lizard sleeps soundly in the twilight.

After a while, an old gentleman with white hair and gold-rimmed glasses handed over the reviewed account book to Lin En and said, "Your Highness, I have no problem with this part."

Everyone else in the room breathed a sigh of relief as the word declared that their work was done and their busy day came to an end.

Lynn nodded. He glanced at the other people in the room, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen, go back and have a good rest."

Everyone said that it was not hard work or hard work, and then left after being polite.

After everyone left, Lin En ordered his servants to deliver the prepared rewards, and then looked at the account books and the calculations made by others.

These people did not miscalculate, and there is indeed nothing wrong with the account books.

At this time, Kevin came in at the right time and reported the results of his investigation.

"I would like to inform your Highness that there are indeed not many weapons cast in Narui Town, and they are all used by the Northwest Army. Narui Town casts some iron wares more often. These iron wares are secretly bought by some commercial firms and sold to the empire. In other places, there is no problem with the casting and whereabouts of ironware."

Judging from the accounts, the Duke of Rennes currently has no problems other than mining iron ore and casting weapons in violation of the imperial ban.

According to him, he could be forgiven for violating the ban.

What a great general.

Lin En tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "What about the smugglers?"

Kevin frowned in confusion, and said: "It's strange that the Northwest didn't punish these smugglers, but there are a lot fewer smugglers in the Northwest. The information I got is...the demand for ironware in the Trusu Empire has decreased, Fewer people bought it, and the price dropped sharply." He thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness, did the Trusu Empire discover new iron ore and learn how to smelt iron?"

Lynn shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"The Northwest Frontier County secretly cast ironware, and the Trusu Empire's demand for ironware has decreased. Do you think the two have nothing to do with each other?"

"You mean that the Duke of Rennes is cooperating with the Trusu Empire... I have checked the whereabouts of the ironware in Kenari Town, and there is no problem."

Lin En opened the account book, looked at the autumn war expenses recorded on it, and sighed.

"What if the Duke of Wren didn't go to war with Trusu every autumn, but traded with the Trusu Empire? The Northwest provided weapons and even the food that Trusu needed, and Trusu provided horses, wealth... for the Duke of Wren What about everything you want to rebel? Does everything make sense?"

Kevin was stunned. After a long time, he swallowed.

He didn't dare to think how much turmoil the Duke of Wren's rebellion would bring to the Crohn Empire.

"Tell the people below, pack up your things and prepare to go back, let's leave as soon as possible, and I will report to my father."

"Yes." Kevin restrained his shock and walked out.

After a busy day, the room became quiet again. Lynn walked to the window, looked at the sleeping sweet pink lizard, and poked it unbalanced.

"You little guy sleeps so easily."

The pink lizard changed its position uncomfortably and continued to sleep, oblivious to the coming turmoil.

The Duke of Wren looked at Lynn's farewell letter in a daze.

This letter is very well written and sincere, and deeply expresses Lynn's love for the Northwest Frontier County, his respect for the Duke of Wren, and his reluctance to leave.

But—no matter how well the letter was written, it couldn't change the fact that the eldest prince left too hastily.

Lynn rejected his request to ally with him, and left after investigating the northwest town of Nari.

He left too hastily, did he find something?

But Ryan thinks that he is doing very well, and all his deals with Trusu are very secretive—who would have thought that Trusu's invasion every autumn is not to snatch food for the winter, but to trade with Northwest? ?

Who would have thought that the weapons cast by Narui Town to replace the damaged weapons of the army would be used as trading items and entered the army of the Trusu Empire?

What's more, Ryan has made so many covers for this, and he provides the "real" expenses of the Northwest to His Majesty every year in order to gain trust.

Even if more than a dozen people came to check the account book for the eldest prince, there would be no problem, so he didn't panic at all when he found out that Lynn was asked to check the account.

Now he somehow... panicked.

The Duke of Rennes, who didn't know that he had exposed himself to the smugglers, pondered for a moment, and decided to follow his intuition, not to mention...

Lynn is a little too good.

In the face of money, power, and sex, he is calm, capable, and conscientious. Such a person who ascends the throne and becomes an emperor must be an outstanding emperor.

But the last thing the Northwest Frontier County expected to encounter was such a difficult emperor.

So he called his most loyal subordinates.

"The eldest prince and his party will definitely pass by here."

Ren stood in front of the huge map in the study room. He had studied for too long and knew every part of the empire very well, so he quickly found a canyon, which was the only place to pass through when leaving the Northwest Frontier County to go to the imperial capital.

"But I don't want him to leave alive, understand?"

The subordinate nodded in agreement, did not ask any questions, and left quietly.

As the convoy gradually headed south and gradually reached the edge of the Northwest Frontier County, the chilling weather gradually became milder.

Affected by the weather, the people in the convoy no longer shrink their heads and feet and stay in the carriage all day, but become active, chatting with the people around them to pass the long journey time.

Lynn also smiled because of the changed weather.

Passing through this canyon is the gateway between Northwest County and other counties, that is to say, they can leave immediately.

But at this moment, there was a vibration from the ground. This is... a vibration that can only be transmitted when a large number of horses step on the ground.

The soldier in charge of guarding noticed the abnormality, got off his horse and listened to the ground, and immediately shouted: "Warning!"

The convoy quieted down instantly, and the guards of the convoy cheered up, firing their weapons one after another.

But soon, they found that there might not be much they could do.

More than 500 men in armor and riding horses appeared with a murderous look, and the unkindness of the visitors was almost written on their faces.

There were no more than 100 guards in Lynn's convoy, and there were only 300 men, women and children with no combat power.

The gap is too big, and there is no suspense about who wins.

The 500 people didn't talk nonsense, they rushed up and raised their long swords to slaughter.

Some powerless people were frightened and howled loudly, causing the convoy to be in chaos in an instant.

No one noticed in the chaos, a pink lizard slipped out quietly.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Lynn gritted his teeth and called Luke, his bodyguard, over.

"Luke, I want to chant the spell, you protect me."

In the current scene, the only way is to use magic. Lynn has learned magic from the archmage Uriah since he was a child, and he can sing high-level magic.

The magicians in Kaiser West are very powerful. As long as they have enough ability, they can use spells to accomplish almost anything. They are especially good at destructive magic, but their magic has a very fatal problem.

spell.

The more powerful the spell, the more complicated the spell is, the longer it takes to sing the spell, and the more you have to concentrate on it when singing.And the chanting cannot be interrupted by others. The more powerful the magic is, the more serious the magic backlash will be for the magician after the chanting is interrupted.

This has led to the mage's close combat being an absolute disaster. They have almost no resistance when they chant the spell, and they must be protected by someone.

Luke nodded, listening to the singing beside Lynn, raised his weapon and stood ready.

But involuntarily, he was distracted and turned his attention to the battlefield in the canyon.

For with a deafening roar, a great red dragon appeared.

The giant dragon was so huge that it made the canyon narrow, and it was so powerful that it spewed out flames, and the enemy could only howl in the flames. He flapped his wings, and the enemy and the horse flew out together and fell hard on the ground. sides of the canyon.

Enemies that previously seemed invincible were vulnerable to such absolute power.

Total carnage.

At this moment, Luke felt murderous.

This murderous aura was not directed at him, but at... the eldest prince Lin En!

Someone attacked!

Startled, Luke quickly turned his head, raised his sword and killed the sneak attacking enemy.

But he was late.

There was a knife on Lynn's chest, and blood was slowly flowing out from the knife edge.

But this is not the most deadly, the most deadly is the magical backlash caused by the interruption of singing.

Lin En was enduring the great pain caused by the magic backlash. His body was shaking constantly because of the pain. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. After vomiting a big mouthful of blood, he passed out.

The red dragon who was slaughtering the enemy seemed to have sensed something, and flew over. He shook off Lynn's guards and looked at Lynn who was injured and fainted.

This human being is no longer glamorous, no longer smiling, he fell to the ground, stained with blood and dust.

He shouldn't be like this.

Caesar's heart seemed to be stabbed by this picture, and it hurt a little.

The red dragon rubbed its head against Lin En, hoping that he would touch him like before, but he got no response, and Lin En was still lying there, motionless, even if he fainted, his brows were still furrowed tightly, and he could Imagine the pain he endured.

Caesar stretched out his claws to smooth Lynn's brow, but noticed his sharp claws, so he could only put them away.After thinking about it, he carefully picked up Lynn and flew away.
