Facing the two relatives in front of him who were flowing with the same bloodline, Martin greeted him with difficulty.

Ferrid and Lovier suddenly realized that the young man with black hair and pupils was Martin.

I also found one of the few impressions in my memory, which gradually coincided with the young man in front of me.

Looking at the strangeness in their eyes, Martin knew that his memory was still not wrong.

He is an unbiased transparent man in the castle.

"Martin, why did you suddenly leave the family and run to Faralin?"

Ferrid wanted to question, but he couldn't help but calm down when he looked at Martin's young face with a smile.

Martin replied with a smile, "Just walk around, broaden your horizons, and somehow I got to Faralin."

Although Martin and these two guests are members of the Oric family, their understanding of each other is not much better than strangers.

After a few greetings, the atmosphere became more and more awkward, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, the Earl was present.

"Lunch is ready, let's go to have a meal first!" he said with a smile.

During dinner together, Earl Cross was always in charge of the conversation.

It is precisely because of his spare time to thread the needle that the atmosphere on the dining table is not too stiff.

...

On a coast not far from Faralin, the waves are back and forth on the beach.

But some things remained on the beach.

It was a crab, with a lot of mud and sand on its dirty shell.

It stretched its legs and moved on the beach.

The waves hit again.

Wow...

On the beach, under the broken foam, more gray crab shells were exposed.

The dense crabs were all holding their feet, with their clamps facing the sky, forming a gray wave, moving towards the beach, like a well-trained army.

The scene is indescribable.

If there were no fishermen robbing each other...

At this time, the beach was filled with joy.

In addition to the crabs, there are twenty or thirty villagers with big bamboo baskets, who come from nearby fishing villages.

Since the two children in the village discovered the crab tide yesterday when they were rushing to the sea, the residents in the village have taken action.

Looking at the dense crabs on the beach, they were not afraid at all, but they all showed excited eyes.

These crabs were originally worthless, ugly and meatless, with thick shells that were difficult to deal with, and had no food.

Even if you go out to sea to catch it, you will throw it away directly.

However, during this period, people in the city are purchasing large quantities of crab shells and various shells.

A pound of crab shell and a copper coin will be collected no matter how many.

Although the unit price is not high, it cannot withstand the number of it!

Looking at the crabs that kept crawling out of the waves, these fishermen skillfully dismantled the crabs, threw away their internal organs and the few crab meats, leaving behind the crab shells.

When the sun sets and tides rise, the crabs that gush out of the sea gradually stop.

The crab shells were filled with bamboo baskets and piled up on the beach to form several small hills.

Everyone gathered at the fire with laughter and joy, making fire and baking crab shells, while chatting happily and enjoying the future.

...

Deep in the ocean, a silent vibration aroused the mud, and an angry and puzzled look shot out from a translucent figure.

"Finish him!"

"Finish him!"

"Finding him..."

With this thick roar from the depths of hell, more shadows on the bottom of the sea squirmed, all crawling towards the coastline.

...

"Uncle Ferrid, are you saying that Lance was originally going to continue to increase his troops to Tishvin?" Martin was a little confused.

Ferrid nodded, recalling the war scene, his tone was a little depressed.

However, as the communication deepened, there seemed to be less estrangement between them.

Ferid said in a low voice: "After several frontal contacts of the army were defeated in the Katche Basin, the king had the intention to give up the Katche Basin and was preparing to establish a front in the Ceylon Heights."

"Later, the patriarch was injured, and the situation became even more uncontrollable. We were all ready to retreat to the Jingqi Plain."

"But in early November, the Lances, who had the advantage, suddenly withdrew!"

Martin frowned slightly and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Early November?

retreat?

Recalling the Lance army that had been gathering in the Brees Valley since December, this behavior forced Martin to suspect that Lance suddenly changed the target of the war to Gaver, and gave up Tisven, who had already achieved the results.

In one month, it was almost possible to transfer the army from the east of Lance to the western front.

Why did Kolans make such a decision that goes against common sense?

War, serving politics, seeks benefits.

This is incredible.

Judging from Ferid's description, before Lance invaded Tisven, the target was obviously more than just a Katche Basin.

Martin and the Earl looked at each other, with deep doubts and fears in their eyes.

The reason why Lance changes its target is only the reason why it is more attractive to Lance.

No matter what the reason is, it means that in the war that follows, they will become more crazy and invest more power.

The power of the Lance Empire was highly concentrated, the royal family was basically undermined, and the entire country was basically controlled by the Temple of War and the Temple of Mother Earth.

This kind of theocracy, a country with united regimes, can be mobilized in a short period of time, and the organization's power will be extremely powerful, often beyond imagination.

Now Gaver's civil war continues, and the turbulent situation makes Martin feel deeply uneasy.

If something goes wrong with Annu Fortress, then Faralin can't be immune to it.

Moreover, judging by the espionage situation a while ago, Faralinburg seems to be particularly valued by the Lance people.

Martin thought worriedly, then looked at Ferrid again and asked in a concerned tone:

"Is the clan leader's injury serious?"

This is not entirely a pretend gesture.

At least, his surname is Olic, and the blood of the Oric family flows through this body.

Therefore, I still have basic concern for this great-grandfather.

Besides, the other party did not completely ignore his family member, but was silently paying attention for special reasons.

Even took care of the count and helped take care of him.

Hearing Martin’s question, Ferrid’s frowns became deeper.

"I was very injured, but I have been controlled at this time." Ferrid said with a hidden worry.

A sneak attack?

Martin frowned in confusion.

How is this possible?!

You know, the Knights Sequence is least afraid of is sneak attacks.

This is because Olic's Knight Bloodline has a very powerful and unique talent ability-

【Knight's Heart】.

Any attacks from the back or notified in advance will be invalidated.

This ability is a talented ability similar to [School Mark]. All family members of the advanced knight sequence, even Sequence 9, will awaken this ability from their bloodlines.

In fact, Martin feels that the Olic family can survive until now, thanks to this unique ability.

The Olic members who possess the [Knight's Heart] are naturally immune to most sneak attacks, poisoning and other insidious methods.

There is a proverb circulating in the Jingchi Plain:
