"We gather here today to offer prayers for His Majesty Reinhard San Lorenzo.

Merciful Lord of Radiance, please grant mercy and honor to this great emperor, so that he may return to your arms..."

In the quiet and solemn tent, Cardinal Mensay's pious voice echoed.

A group of imperial nobles and officers gathered here to pray for Reinhard the Great.

Even though the emperor had a lot of controversy, he still fulfilled the responsibility of a real emperor in the last days of his life.

Taking the lead in the enemy line and leading the army to defeat the army of orcs was enough for him to leave a glorious mark in the history books.

Of course, as for whether the ending of death in battle was the original intention of Emperor Reinhardt, no one knows.

Although some nobles who were familiar with Emperor Reinhardt had noticed some anomalies before, and some even suspected that Emperor Reinhardt was being controlled, but now with his death in battle, these doubts have become unsolvable. open mystery.

In fact, many members of the royal family are quite satisfied with this ending. After all, Emperor Reinhardt's last act of giving up his life has brought the reputation of the San Lorenzo family to a higher level.

Therefore, in front of the emperor's coffin, most people expressed their sincere condolences.

Only Colin stood in the silent crowd, staring at Cardinal Mensay in the front row with icy eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"...from the dust, to the dust!

May your soul rest in the house of the Most High! "

After Mensay finished reciting the prayer, he reached out and sprinkled a pinch of soil into the coffin.

Subsequently, the four royal knights stepped forward to close the lid of the coffin.

Cardinal Mensay turned around and said to the crowd:

"His Majesty's coffin needs to be sent back to Yulong City for burial. However, after all, the orc war is not over yet. I suggest that you send some representatives to **** you, and the rest stay here to guard against possible counterattacks by the orcs."

Archon Fred immediately responded:

"Cardinal Mensay is right, so let's go, the royal family will be accompanied by me and His Royal Highness Prince to return to Yulong City."

Upon seeing this, the Duke of St. Landers also quickly expressed his position: "I will **** His Majesty's body back to Yulong City on behalf of the Southern Border."

The Duke of St. Grian glanced at Colin, and then he also stood up and expressed his willingness to **** on behalf of the West.

The representative of the Eastern Territory is Count Nicole.

When it was the North's turn, Ke Lin did his part and stood up.

Upon seeing this, Archon Fred said with some distress:

"I understand that everyone doesn't want to miss His Majesty's funeral. However, if you all return to Royal Dragon City, who will be the commander of the allied forces of the Empire in the Loire Valley? So, it is best to leave a noble aristocrat. , temporarily in charge of the Imperial Coalition."

Immediately, his eyes turned to Colin, seemingly unintentionally saying:

"Count Angele, you have shown amazing commanding skills in the Battle of Loire. Why don't you stay?"

Colin took a deep look at Archon Fred and shook his head:

"Didn't you say it before? The commander of the imperial coalition must wait for the new emperor to be appointed after he takes the throne. Now, it's not right for me to take charge of it, isn't it?"

Fred said with a smile: "There's no problem with this. After all, it's just a temporary stay, and you don't need to actually direct military operations. This is also to prevent the imperial coalition from falling into chaos without a commander when the orcs suddenly return."

Colin didn't speak and seemed to be hesitant.

Fred was delighted when he saw this.

He knew that Colin wouldn't want to stay if he said that.

After all, in addition to the funeral of Emperor Reinhardt, the Royal Dragon City is more important for the succession of the new emperor.

The more he persuaded Ke Lin to stay at this time, the more uneasy Ke Lin wanted to go to Royal Dragon City in person.

So, Fred kindly cleared the siege and said:

"Count Angrie, if you really don't want to miss His Majesty's funeral, why don't you leave the Duke of St. Grian to sit there."

Colin glanced sideways at the Duke of St. Grian, and gave a slight affirmative wink.

Duke St. Grian understood, stepped forward and said:

"If you trust me, then I'll stay and sit."

Archon Fred was proud, because he knew that Colin would definitely not object to this decision.

Thinking that he had already played with Colin, Fred nodded with a smile: "Okay, then it's hard work for the Duke of St. Grian."

Seeing that everyone had no objection to this, Cardinal Mensay also nodded and said:

"Okay, please go back and prepare, we will leave early tomorrow morning."

The crowd left.

Colin walked out with no expression on his face, and became more certain of his guess in his heart——

Yulongcheng really had a change.

Moreover, the royal family and the church have joined forces, and their goal this time is exactly themselves!

Returning to Yulong City this time is obviously a killing game.

Without the protection of the army and separated from the Duke of St. Grian, Colin was obviously the most vulnerable in the eyes of the royal family and the church.

It is also the easiest to assassinate!

Perhaps the current northern border has made many people feel like a man on their backs.

What Colin didn't expect was that the church and the royal family had made up their minds so quickly to attack the North.

So decisive, so resolute, that he could no longer even care that such a move would plunge the empire into civil strife again.

You must know that although the battle of the Loire Valley has defeated the orc army and even killed the orc emperor, after all, the Western Region and most of the Scarlet Flames are still in the hands of the orcs.

The war is not over yet, and some people have already begun to impatiently want to eradicate dissidents?

In addition to being shocked, Colin only felt endless sadness and anger.

Thinking again that the "missing" Marquis Garcia might have suffered an accident, at this moment, Colin no longer had any hesitation or hesitation in his heart.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

...

The next morning.

A team of about 1,000 people left the Loire Valley camp and headed for Yulong City.

Perhaps immersed in the grief of Emperor Reinhardt's death in battle, the atmosphere of the entire team was slightly depressed.

Near noon, the team stopped by a creek to rest.

The soldiers raised a bonfire and started cooking.

Colin came to the stream, squatted down, took a handful of water and washed his face.

The water is crystal clear, and from time to time you can see a few swimming fish jumping out of the water.

Colin was thinking about getting a fish and roasting it when he saw a piece of parchment paper about the length of a thumb floating past his eyes.

Picking it up~lightnovelpub.net~ Colin spread it out and saw two words written on the parchment—

Run!

Colin put it away expressionlessly, plunged his right hand into the water like lightning, and grabbed a lively swimming fish.

The moment he got up, Colin glanced upstream from the corner of his eye, and saw Maester Yaleg holding a water bottle and walking towards the camp.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Colin also returned to the camp.

run?

Of course he won't run.

There may be a trap ahead.

But who is the hunter and who is the prey?
