The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

When people live in this world, they will always be in various mixed positions.

Not to mention the standpoint of ethnicity, race, and country, even in a small family, there will still be standpoints.

For example, if your parents have a dispute that leads to a split in the family, as a son or daughter, you have to choose a side.

Now Claire and Qili are in a similar situation, with their husband on one side and their natal family on the other... both sides are in trouble now.

Although the husband was very considerate and asked them to go back and help.

And based on their understanding of Hardy, the latter really thought so.

But...as a wife, at this time, she really should stand with her husband's family.

In the end, Eurobet left Basov City alone and headed to the Royal City.

Of course, as sisters, Claire and Qili still provided him with long-distance horses with excellent endurance and a large backpack of dry food.

Although Eurobet can indeed transform into a firebird and fly, it consumes a lot of physical strength and magic power. When traveling long distances, a pony is more practical.

Claire and Qili stood on the city wall, watching the backs of their relatives completely disappear into the distance before returning to the city lord's mansion.

Then as soon as he entered the door, he saw Aiya. She was talking with several envoys in the main hall. When she saw the two people coming back, she smiled lightly and said: "Hadi is in the study, you go and see him. "

Both of them were stunned for a moment. They had a feeling that Aiya seemed to be more affectionate towards them.

I used to be very enthusiastic, but I always felt a little "raw", as if there was something in between.

But now that barrier seems to be gone.

The two felt a little confused, and then came to Hardy's study and saw Hardy looking at a map.

"You're back!" Hardy waved to the two of them and said, "Our external environment is actually not very good now, and you should be able to tell that."

The two nodded.

"To the west and south, our defenses are somewhat lacking, and...in both directions, a large number of humans have become slaves." Hadidi pointed to these two locations on the map, and then said: "I personally We prefer to take the initiative. Instead of waiting for the enemy to attack, we might as well attack directly. "

Qili's eyes showed joy: "You mean... you want the two of us to lead the army on the expedition?"

"Yes!" Hardy said with a smile: "The lords of these two places have spoken cruel words to us. Each of you will bring five hundred elite soldiers in armor to kill the territories of these two places."

The two of them didn't think Hardy's plan was cruel. After all, the enemies were already coming, so it was indeed a good idea to take the initiative.

"Then we occupy those two places?"

"No need." Hardy shook his head: "After killing the lord, collect the loot and return it. A chaotic unclaimed land will become a grabbing point for many people. It can buy us a lot of time, and it can also help us. Weaken the strength of other lords.”

Claire looked at Hardy with her eyes open and said with admiration: "Hardy, your plan is very powerful. Only those who know how to give up can do it."

Ordinary lords, after acquiring a territory, would like to hold it in their hands immediately, rather than use it as a trap.

Hardy waved his hand: "This is just a very common tactical method."

Qili said angrily: "At least this is my first time seeing you."

"Well, you go and prepare. We will set off in three days."

"Follow the order."

The two of them performed a military salute at the same time.

They are princesses trained by the Rida family and know when it is business and when it is okay to talk about private matters.

The two came out of the study. Qili's expression was quite excited. She really liked to lead the army in battle, but in Lida's house, this was almost impossible.

But here in Hardy, she got enough trust.

Claire turned to look at her sister and whispered, "Have you noticed that Aya seems to be much more enthusiastic towards us?"

"Is there?" Qili thought for a moment and then said: "It seems there is."

Claire sighed: "Hadi has complete trust in us, but now it seems that Yu Shao Aiya and the others did not completely trust us before. I don't know if other people are like this."

"You mean, Aya completely trusts us now?" Qili asked, "Why?"

"Maybe it's because we didn't follow our second brother back to the royal city." Claire seemed to be relieved and said, "After all, our Lida family may have conflicts with Basov City."

Qili was shocked: "In other words, if we follow my previous opinions, we may become strangers to Hardy and the others after we follow the second brother back?"

"It might even be a hostile relationship!" Claire added.

Qili suddenly felt the hairs all over her body stand up: "Fortunately you stopped me!"

There was joy in her eyes.

She wanted to help the family before because she was not worried that Hadi would have any objections to her sisters. After all, Hadi doted on them both.

But now that Claire was analyzing it like this, she was afraid.

She didn't want to become a stranger to Hardy, not at all.

Never want to.

During dinner, Claire and Qili discovered that all the women in the City Lord's Mansion were very close to them.

They were sure that they felt nothing wrong at noon.

It turned out that they had not really entered the inner circle of the City Lord's Mansion before.

After dinner, Hardy continued to deal with government affairs. During this period, Leola came once, drank a popsicle made by Hardy and left.

This is almost a repertoire.

Late at night, the study was gently pushed open again. Hardy thought it was a certain succubus coming in, but it turned out that it was the cute little girl Neferti standing at the door. She was holding a rag doll in her hand and asked expectantly. : "Dad, can you tell me a story and sleep with me tonight?"

In fact, Neferti is very sensible, and she will not disturb Hadi most of the time.

Only when she really wanted to get close to Hadi would she come over and ask cautiously.

"sure."

Hadi covered the government affairs book in his hand, stood up, went to the door and took the little girl's hand: "Dad will tell you three stories tonight."

"Really?"

Neferti became obviously happy: "What kind of story is that?"

Hadi took Neferti to the latter's bedroom and said at the same time: "The first story is called 'The Little Girl Selling Explosive Flame Magic Scroll'."

"What about the second story?"

Neferti asked expectantly, her eyes filled with stars.

"Listen to the first one first..."

"good!"

In fact, Hardy was correct in not considering the second story.

Before the first story was finished, Neferti fell asleep.

Hadi covered Neferti with a quilt and was about to leave when he suddenly froze.

Because she discovered that there was a faint light flashing on Neferti's forehead.

It was very weak. If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

What is this?
