Beasts contend

Fan Dong is not a sentimental person.

They were soon ready to go.

Kathy and Fan Dong conveyed what they discovered to the Council of Elders, His Majesty the King, and Edward respectively. They tacitly did not write their guesses in the letters, but only wrote what they saw and heard.As for whether the same situation has occurred in other places, I believe His Majesty the King will make the most correct judgment.

In the evening, Fan Dong and his party passed through the canyon and traveled a long way.Perhaps it was because the chosen route was wrong, and there was no suitable foothold along the way.The little guide said: "We can't walk to towns or villages before nightfall. It's not good to travel overnight. Let's camp nearby."

Dia was a chef as usual, but compared to the first time they ate outdoors like this, the atmosphere was very different.At least when sitting together, the "confrontation" situation between the two sides has become very clear.Fan Dong and Kathy sat together, Dia, David, and Arthur sat by Fan Dong's side, and Rubin and Bowen sat by Kathy's side.The little guide just separates the two sides.

The eight people sat by the lake, and after eating their fill, Fan Dong took out the newly refined crystal wine, which not only detoxifies, but also enhances the five senses.He has seen the origin of crystal wine in the system, and knows that although this thing is a lost secret recipe, it is not a high-level pill. People who have drunk it may not be able to figure it out, so he generously turned it into Ryan medicine The main sales object of the church.

Lubin and Bowen looked strange when they saw the colorful crystal wine.

The dark-skinned Lubin said directly: "This crystal wine is different from what we drank last time."

Fan Dong didn't hide anything: "Of course, last time I could only practice two colors at most, and now I can practice one of the colors." He raised his glass, and the crystal wine in the glass shone slightly under the starlight , the colors are many but not miscellaneous, bright but not chaotic, it looks very attractive.

Rubin and Bowen looked at each other with some astonishment in their eyes.It turns out that things are so simple.From seeing Fan Dong go to see the old man alone, and join forces with the old man to kill the evil dragon, they realized that they might have really underestimated this Highness.

Looking at it now, this Highness is indeed remarkable.

As for why this Highness never refuted their cynicism, it was probably because he was too lazy to argue with them.Or maybe, for the sake of Kathy's sake, he didn't want to get into too much trouble with them.

And what did they do?They thought they were speaking out for Kathy, but in fact they only let others see their ignorance.

Both Rubin and Bowen fell silent.

Fan Dong didn't take care of their fragile little hearts. He said enthusiastically, "After drinking the crystal wine, I should go for a swim. Come, come, put up the tent and change into swimming trunks, and let's go into the water together."

Everyone was male, and no one made a fuss. They got into the tent and put on the swimming trunks they brought, and all jumped into the lake for a swim.Fan Dong liked water very much, he disappeared when he got into the water, and it took a while before he got his head out in the middle of the lake.

All the people present were long-term exercisers. Everyone didn't have much fat on their bodies, and their bodies looked well-proportioned and fit.Fan Dong wiped his face with his hands, and smiled as he watched his friends swimming around in style.

It wasn't until he was sweating profusely and then washed off that sweat, that Fan Dong went ashore unsatisfied, waved to the others and said, "It's bedtime, I'll go to bed first, I want me to keep watch before waking me up." I pulled out the blindfold in the tent, covered my eyes, and fell asleep comfortably.

Seeing Fan Dong sleeping soundly all of a sudden, Dia and the others lost their interest in swimming and went ashore one after another to rest.

Kathy offers to keep a vigil.

Arthur said, "Then I'll come in the middle of the night."

Kathy nodded and sat reading a book in front of the fire.Too many things have happened in the past few months. Fan Dong, whom he thought he would never see again in this life, somehow suddenly became his very important friend.As a friend, he had to consider many things for Fan Dong.

For example, the struggle between Fan Dong and Wen Sen.

Yes, struggle.Kathy has been in and out of the Presbyterian church since she was a child, and her thoughts are far deeper than others.He was the one who surpassed his father and gained the approval of his grandfather and clansmen. How could he not see Wen Sen's attitude towards Fan Dong?Wen Sen didn't regard Fan Dong as a brother at all - he only regarded Fan Dong as an enemy.

But Fan Dong still regards Wen Sen as his brother.At least before the rookie game, the three brothers seemed to have a very good relationship.Maybe Fan Dong gradually saw it clearly later, but he still couldn't let go of the feelings between brothers.

Like this time the evil dragon appeared in the world, many evidences point to Wen Sen.Fan Dong should have realized this, but just realizing it was not enough.

One side has already become hostile, but the other side still cares about brotherhood, and the latter will definitely suffer.

Kathy was conflicted.Emotionally speaking, it is the affectionate Fan Dong that attracts him, and he prefers to associate with people like Fan Dong, rather than those so-called "nobles" who are ruthless and ungrateful; intellectually speaking, he knows that Fan Dong should He realized more clearly that their brothers had to fight, and they could no longer be soft-hearted, hesitant, and passive like before.

Kathy turned her eyes to the bonfire, an orange light reflected in her eyes.

Intellectually speaking, a person like Fan Dong is not suitable to be a king. His personality is too out of character, and he is more suitable for a free life; emotionally speaking, he suddenly looks forward to the empire being handed over to Fan Dong. It is unexpected what direction the little Highness can lead the empire.

Presumably, there will be more smiles on everyone's faces than ever before.

Kathy's eyes changed color.

Bowen quietly walked out of the tent and walked to Kathy's side without a sound.Bowen has been a follower of Kathy since he was a child, and he helped Kathy handle many affairs of the auction house.As Kaixi and Fan Dong got closer, Bowen was worried.He sat next to Kaixi and said, "Kaixi, our Presbyterian Church has never expressed its position on the heir to the empire..."

Yes, the Presbyterian Church can continue to this day precisely because it never expresses its position.The Council of Elders can slap this royal family in the face today, and slap that royal family in the face tomorrow. Offending people is very straightforward, and there is never any scruples.

Kathy said, "Bowen, do you know what kind of enemy we're going to face?"

Bowen froze.

Kathy said: "At that time, none of us made a sound. Bowen, in the most turbulent era of the empire, the Presbyterian Council also expressed its position. Otherwise, His Majesty the King would not be able to sit firmly on the throne."

Bowen said: "With Edward in command, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Edward has already become a god of war in the hearts of the imperial people. As long as he is there, all rebellions can be easily quelled.It is precisely because of old Edward's desperate fight and because of love's thunderous means that the Wolf Empire has been so peaceful in the past five years.

Kathy said: "That's because they haven't tried the depth of Edward's leadership." Edward's progress is too fast, and his methods are too sophisticated. Before he has figured out the situation, no one wants to act rashly. Come and try.

If one day, they think that Edward's true strength is not worthy of their fear, they will immediately make a comeback.

Edward is still very young after all.

Bowen was terrified.

It is true that they have never faced a truly tragic war, but just feeling the aftermath of the war, he already felt very cruel.What if one day, the empire really fell into a turbulent predicament again?Does His Royal Highness Vincent seem to be someone who can bring them out of trouble?Does His Highness Phil look like that again?

Bowen said: "Could it be that the flash flood we encountered today is also a kind of temptation?"

Kathy said: "Maybe." He paused, "Even if this kind of trouble can't be bottomed out, it can still plunge the empire into chaos. Although there have been no major wars in the past five years, the troubles, large and small, are enough to make the military The department is devastated."

Bowen said: "It's really not easy for Commander Edward." He suddenly realized, "Cathy, did you choose to support His Highness Colin because of the relationship between Commander Edward and His Highness Colin?"

Kathy said: "No, it's not just that." He stuffed two pieces of wood into the bonfire, "His Royal Highness Colin, he is very different from others. Look at the people who appear around him, whether it's Aya in the academy Sir, Dia, or David, or the Duke of Hoberg, or Prince Jacob—to be recognized by these people means that His Royal Highness Colin already has the characteristics of being a leader. No one sits on the throne alone, Like His Majesty the King, although his strength has been greatly reduced, he still has countless followers."

Bowen nodded.

Kathy said: "By comparison, Prince Jacob was already stronger than His Majesty the King at that time, but he was not recognized by others. Even the Presbyterians thought he was not suitable to be a king - because in his eyes other than him bow, and nothing else."

"I see," Bowen said.

Kathy said: "I know that you and Rubin don't like His Royal Highness Colin very much, and I respect your opinions—you are independent individuals, and you don't need to make the same choices as me." He looked a little confused , "Actually, I didn't make a choice either."

He always felt that the throne was more like a shackle of responsibility to Fan Dong than a good thing.Compared to becoming a king, Fan Dong might be more willing to become a high-level pharmacist, or a high-level gourmet, instead of trapping himself in all kinds of chores, worrying about how to face powerful enemies and how to deal with complicated government affairs every day .

Bowen was startled, inexplicably thinking of Fan Dong who often took Kathy to eat at the table when he was in college.Since entering the Bow and Archery Academy, Fan Dong's appetite has increased a lot, and he can eat the whole table by himself. Seeing him eat so deliciously, they unconsciously ate two more bowls of rice.Thinking about it now, the increase in appetite should be the result of hard work, right?

Unknowingly, the little highness who used to do nothing all day long and jumped up and down has grown up.

where are they?How long can they hide under the shelter of the Presbyterian Church?

They should also, like Kathy, start thinking about the future.

Bowen said: "Since only he is suitable, then he has to do it even if he doesn't want to."

Kathy said, "It's still early." Thinking of Fan Dong who was alive and kicking all day long, he smiled slightly, "He's still so young."

Bowen said: "That's right." They are still young, and those things should not come to us so quickly.

While the two were comforting themselves like this, a huge black eagle landed by the lake.

Cathy raised her head when she heard the movement, and saw Edward jumping off the back of the black eagle, the black military uniform seemed to blend into the night.His unique black hair shimmered slightly in the moonlight, which set off his deep black eyes.

It was Edward.
