The moonlight shines unobstructed.

Wow~

The fountain in the center of the courtyard makes a clear sound with surging water. Against the backdrop of the night, it exudes a faint silver color.

The environment in the entire courtyard is a little quiet at the moment.

Lainas stood quietly beside Tang Zheng, with a touch of relaxation between his eyebrows.

Imina was standing not far away, leaning under the statue. There was a hint of embarrassment on her face. She felt that she should not be suitable to stay here in this situation.

The scene where Lainas just swore allegiance still shocked Imina.

Before this, she felt there was no problem staying here, but now, she felt like she had suddenly become an outsider.

Imina glanced at Tang Zheng, who was thinking about something, and then turned his amber eyes to Lainas's exposed face.

Is it because of this?

This thought flashed through Imina's heart. Lainas's situation is no secret to the Empire.

Seemingly aware of Imina's gaze, Lainas turned sideways and nodded towards Imina.

The thoughts and thoughts between two women.

Tang Zheng doesn't care now. Lainas's sudden allegiance was completely unexpected, but it made an idea that he had suppressed in his heart resurface.

Build a force!

Tang Zheng did have this idea before, but it was just an idea.

Except that he didn't have the manpower.

The most important thing is, even if there are enough manpower, how big the force can be formed in four years, and even if there is still a buffer time of about one year after the arrival of "Great Tomb of Nazarick", it still makes no difference.

His opponent is not a local force in this world.

Even Eight Fingers, a huge underground force that spreads throughout the country, was instantly overwhelmed by Destruction the moment it came into contact with Great Tomb.

Underground forces?

This is not a game of house.

Don't be too narrow-minded!

Tang Zheng knows very well what kind of help he can provide in the future.

When Bone Lord still had the paranoia of being persecuted, he wanted to show off his power by killing hundreds of thousands of people at will to prove it, and he also wanted to show his benevolence and kindness, etc. These human weaknesses still existed.

The only one who can provide him with help and barely be able to compete with Great Tomb is at the national level!

After a brief moment of silence.

"What is the outcome of this year's war between the Kingdom and Baharuth Empire?"

Tang Zheng suddenly spoke.

Lainas subconsciously opened her lips, but was quickly stunned because she didn't pay attention to this aspect.

"Kingdom's situation is a bit bad."

Imina's plain voice came from one side, "It's not the autumn harvest season yet, although I don't know why Empire suddenly launched a war."

"But as a result, the border garrison of the Kingdom suffered heavy losses."

Lainas raised his head and looked at Imina with his dark blue eyes, with surprise in his eyes.

She didn't expect that Half-Elf, a loner Worker, would actually pay attention to the Empire's war.

"There is no intelligence support from the Adventurer's Guild."

"As Worker, naturally we can only collect intelligence by ourselves, so any information has a certain value." Imina turned his face sideways and spoke coldly.

Tang Zheng nodded, thoughtfully.

Regarding the events between the Kingdom and Baharuth Empire before the plot began, there were only two events that impressed him deeply.

One is the appearance of this year's Royal Tournament, Gazef, the future "Warrior Captain".

One is that two years later, Gazef single-handedly killed two of the Empire's "Four Horsemen" on the border battlefield. It was at that time that Lenas was selected by the Blood Emperor to become one of the new Four Horsemen.

These two things don't seem to be clearly connected, but there is actually a clear connection between them.

This year Kingdom suffered heavy losses and Empire won a big victory.

Two years later, it is impossible for Blood Emperor to suddenly send two "Four Imperial Knights" to join the battlefield inexplicably.

In other words, something should have happened next fall, causing heavy losses to the Empire.

"Lainas, you shouldn't be able to hide the fact that you slaughtered two nobles for a long time."

Tang Zheng looked helplessly at Lainas.

The original Lainas relied on the power of Blood Emperor to solve the problem of his own family and his fiancé's family.

But now it's up to you to do it yourself.

These are two concepts.

It was only a matter of time before he became suspicious of Lainas. With Blood Emperor's character, this kind of challenge to his rights would inevitably lead to a wanted arrest.

"It's causing trouble for your lord."

Lainas also realized this, his pale cheeks were slightly ugly, and he bit his lips.

Suddenly!

Lainas turned around sharply and looked at Imina who was standing not far away.

"Hey, Don!"

Imina was startled, and immediately spread his hands, taking a step back, with a stiff smile on his face:

"Are you still recruiting anyone for your adventurer team?"

She had realized that what she just said was not suitable for an outsider like her to hear.

Familiar words rang out.

A strange look appeared in Lainas's dark blue pupils.

"Hug is not inviting."

Tang Zheng shook his head as before, "But, there is a big business opportunity to go abroad, do you want to accept it?"

"Answer!" Imina said immediately,

"Sir." Lainas had doubts in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter."

Tang Zheng smiled unconcernedly and said,

"I can't hide your affairs, and I don't plan to stay with the Baharuth Empire for a long time."

He is actually quite interested in Imina, not because of his appearance, but because of Half-Elf's identity.

As a hybrid of human and Elf, Half-Elf's talent should be higher than that of normal humans, and because of the hybrid, Imina is actually not very popular with humans in this world.

"You two are ready to leave Baharuth Empire now and go to Royal Capital of the Kingdom in Yestije."

"Lainas, try to be as high-profile as possible along the way, and don't hide your identity when you arrive at Royal Capital."

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he gave Lainas what to do next. "Then find a person named Gazef. He is very famous. It should not be difficult to find out his whereabouts."

"Find a way to fight him. You don't need to win. It doesn't matter if you draw or even lose."

Lainas had some confusion on his face, but still put his hand on his shoulder and nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir."

"Miss Imina." Tang Zheng.

"Just call me Imina."

Imina rolled his eyes.

"You don't need to be high-profile. Try not to let people know about your relationship with Lainas. After you arrive at Royal Capital, investigate an organization called "Eight Fingers".

"There is no need to really investigate. If you sell this, someone will probably keep an eye on you. Just make sure you are safe."

Tang Zheng moved his cuffs, threw out a handful of Mithril Dagger and threw it to Imina.

That was the Mithril Dagger that was found from the person named "Eight Fingers".

"Sir, what about you?" Lainas said with some worry.

"I still have some things to deal with in Imperial Capital. You guys go ahead and gather in Royal Capital." Tang Zheng spoke softly and looked at the deep night sky.

Since you have to plan, the earlier you plan, the better!

I don't know if "Blue Roses" is currently in Royal Capital. Even if it is not, there is something worthy of his planning in Royal Capital.

I wasn't in a hurry at first, but now I just do it easily.
