In the evening, the setting sun dyed the entire city of Munich red.

The roofs of houses, spiers and city walls were bathed in the afterglow, while the ground and the corners of the walls gradually faded into darkness. The elongated shadows made time seem particularly slow.

On this day, people discovered that the recruitment office of the South Gate Square closed its doors very early. At only half past four, the recruitment office of the Knights of the Southern Cross had already closed its doors. What was even more surprising was that they not only accepted it themselves,

Guards and several groups of knights were also dispatched to the military camp, and other noble recruitment offices were also driven away.

"The Munich City Guard is performing official duties and the square is closed."

The leading knight was Iverson, the deputy commander of the Munich City Guard Knights. He was not polite at all to those recruitment points for foreign nobles and directly ordered them to be bombarded.

Because the Munich City Guard's military camp is here, things like this happen quite often in the South Gate Square.

However, every time, both the guards and the knights were polite and polite. I have never seen anyone so overbearing and overbearing.

Of course, the residents of Munich did not have the slightest sympathy for these out-of-town noble recruitment agencies. On the contrary, everyone was gloating about their misfortune, watching these guys being kicked out of their jobs.

"hurry up!"

In front of a recruitment office, a guard removed the tablecloth and urged.

"What are you doing?" A middle-aged man behind the table became angry and asked, squeezing his neck. He is the steward of the Black Siren family among the thirty-one nobles. He is also a knight himself. He is usually pampered and bossy. When did he receive a

How are ordinary soldiers treated like this?

However, he was quickly caught by his companion next to him.

"Forget it, why bother with a soldier?" The person holding the middle-aged man was a thin, gray-haired man dressed as an aristocrat.

Everyone who knows this person knows that his name is Armstrong, a baron under Gilbert. He is also the person responsible for communication and liaison among the recruitment points of major families such as South Gate Square. On weekdays, it is not uncommon to see him running around and communicating with various families.

The head of the house whispered.

At this moment, the Munich City Guards were chasing people away, so naturally he stood up immediately.

However, he did not conflict with Iverson and others. Instead, he put a sarcastic smile on his lips and persuaded his own people to stop.

"Since they are carrying out official duties, let's not disturb them. Maybe they are preparing for our family's army to enter the city tomorrow?" Armstrong said to the middle-aged man in a neutral tone, "You said so.

Bar?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses.

A teasing smile also appeared on his face, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and he said: "Oh, why did I forget this."

"Look, this is your fault, right?" Armstrong glanced sideways at the Munich soldiers and said leisurely, "Besides, even if their tempers are a little bad, we can understand, right? If it were us...hehe,

I’m afraid your temper is even worse than theirs?”

"That's why you're holding your breath," the middle-aged man agreed, laughing. Then he turned his head and loudly ordered his servants: "What are you doing standing still? Quickly clean up."

Soon, all the recruitment points in the square were cleared.

When leaving, the middle-aged man and Armstrong walked last. As soon as they left the square, the sarcastic smile on the middle-aged man's face turned into confusion.

He asked: "What is going on? What are these guys planning to do?"

Armstrong said: "I have sent people to inquire. I heard that Adolf sent invitations to the leaders and main figures of the major mercenary groups, inviting them to the military camp. If I guessed correctly, they are here

It’s time to make a last-ditch effort.”

The middle-aged man was suddenly startled.

"Then let's..."

Armstrong glanced at him lightly, with a smile on his lips: "I have reported the news. The adults will naturally respond. But..."

He looked back at the closed square, a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

"Do you think this is still important?"

"Invitation?"

When Bolong got the invitation from the Munich Knights, he thought about it carefully for a long time.

Almost at the same moment, the leaders of the major mercenary groups who received the invitation gathered in Boron's room at the Hera Hotel to discuss countermeasures.

No one understood what Adolf had in mind when he was not sending invitations to everyone at this moment.

Moreover, the place he invited everyone to was actually the South Gate Military Camp, not the Grand Duke's Palace. The meaning of this is intriguing.

Lulian, what do you want to do?

"go!"

In the end, Bolong made up his mind.

Although he knew that Adolf was partial to Leo, no matter how crazy he was, he couldn't force everyone to join the Knights of the Southern Cross.

Besides, based on their understanding of Adolf, he was not such a person.

However, Bolong still discussed it with the group leaders.

Be it coercion or inducement, no matter what Lulian does this time, everyone will grit their teeth and not let go.

After all, they had contributed a lot in the demon war. After several attacks, no one was injured. After all, it was Lullian who owed them, not them.

Although Grand Duke Adolf is indeed a respectable monarch, and he is a little sorry for what happened this time, the current Lulian is really not a good candidate for refuge.

What's more, the person who recruited the knights was not Lulian, but a newly promoted earl.

As the leader, they always have to plan for the brothers who have lived and died together for many years. This is their bottom line, and there is no room for compromise!

Soon, a total of thirty-five mercenary regiment leaders, senior elders, and more than three hundred specially invited mercenaries arrived at the south gate military camp of Munich City.

To the southwest of the military camp, everyone was led into a large hall.

When they entered, they found that Landero and more than twenty people who had joined the Knights of the Southern Cross were already there.

Also appearing at the same time were the Munich City Guards and a hundred knights from the Bavarian Knights.

If everyone was a little nervous when they first saw these knights, then when they discovered that all of these knights were only wearing casual clothes, and after observing and talking, they found that even Landero and these knights did not know why they were

When they were called together, everyone felt relieved.

You know, when they came this time, they were all fully armed. And along the way, the other party didn't ask them to hand over their swords or weapons.

"What do you think Archduke Adolf had in mind?"

While waiting, the group leaders gathered together, looking suspicious and whispering.

"It's nothing more than using emotion, understanding with reason, and luring him for profit," said Lampard, the leader of the Highland United Mercenary Regiment. "I don't think Archduke Adolf would do such things as coercion."

"Right now, I'm afraid that they are playing the favor card," the chief elder of the Panshi Mercenary Group, the five-star great sage Mumatsu, frowned, looked around at the mercenaries, and said, "Look, this time they invited everyone except us.

Besides, these are all people who have been into the abyss."

"Some people said before that that kid was trying to repay a favor, and I thought it was a bit much," another group leader said, "but now it seems that they really intend to do this."

"What else?"

"Yeah, if I'm not wrong, they must have seen that the recruitment office couldn't recruit anyone in the past two days, so they simply called everyone together and made it clear."

Among all the chatter, Bolong snorted coldly.

"If that's the case, I'd be relieved." He turned around and looked around, "Don't mention these fools in our group, they are your subordinates. Of all the people who followed that kid, who didn't speak to him?"

All the group leaders sighed and nodded.

"But during this period of time, that kid has never appeared. Not to mention anyone showing up, not even saying a word. I don't know if he was confused by the thirty-one noble alliance, but I think,

No matter how inclined we brothers are to this boy, I’m afraid we have some thoughts in our hearts, right?”

"Yes, everyone is helping you speak, but one of your own is missing. This is called irresponsibility." Mu Matsu agreed.

"So," Bo Long said, "if he plays the favor card again at this time, he will really be at the end of his game. Besides, the word about using favors to repay has already spread. If three people become tigers and everyone speaks of gold, as long as he dares to play

This mouth. No matter whether he thinks this way or not, he can be drowned in spit."

Bo Long finally said categorically: "By then, everyone will be disappointed with him, and this matter will be easier to solve."

"right."

"That's the truth."

While the mercenary captains were discussing, on the other side, Landreaux and others were also surrounded by people.

"Why did the Grand Duke ask us to come?" Olivia asked.

"I just received the notice," Landreaux shrugged. "If I have to say there is anything better than you, it is that I live in the military camp and walked here in a few minutes."

"You too?" Wood asked Lake and others.

Everyone nodded.

"It seems that the answer to the mystery will not be revealed until the Grand Duke arrives." Wood sighed and asked Lake, "By the way, have you seen Leo in the past two days?"

"No." Lake said.

"Me neither."
