Chapter 468 Who dares to attack my fiancé!

"By the way, in addition to the Dark Eclipse, these 60,000 troops also include reinforcements sent by the Beastmen and the Elves. Their combat power is crucial to us. I plan to give them all to you to command."

Luird stared at Ryan and Kyle with burning eyes. To be honest, Luird only planned to give the reinforcements of the orcs and elves to Ryan.

There was no way. Luird could not suppress or control these two foreign reinforcements. Only Ryan could control them.

But on second thought, Ryan, a human general, is leading allies from foreign races. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?

Besides, since such important combat power has been given to Ryan, we might as well hand over the rest of the army to Ryan as well and place all the bets on Ryan!

Anyway, if Luld wants to defeat the demons, he must rely on Ryan's power.

Sixty thousand troops!

Kyle's eyes lit up, and Ryan was also very happy.

Ryan was planning to ask Luard for more soldiers.

After all, Ryan now really wants to rush into the Demon King's Castle to confront the Demon King immediately, but it is too difficult for him to control the entire battlefield relying solely on his Dark Eclipse Knights.

Moreover, having an army of 60,000 is equivalent to having greater say, so Ryan can let other troops cooperate more with his actions.

But many ministers could no longer sit still.

A minister immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice! Captain Ryan is certainly strong personally, but he has never had the experience of leading a large army in battle!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Another minister also stood up and said, "If it were any other day, it would be understandable for you to train Captain Ryan, but every decision you make now concerns the life and death of the entire Hedley!"

"Humph!"

Lud snorted coldly: "Are you deaf? I said 'Captain Kyle and Captain Ryan jointly led'. Ryan has no experience in leading a large army. Doesn't my proud son have any experience in leading a large army? Don't forget who brought back the Weifeng kimchi you eat every day!"

"But... Your Majesty, Captain Ryan was just an ordinary duke not long ago. If you suddenly make him the deputy of an army of 60,000, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people..."

"This……"

Ludwig was a little speechless.

"Father! You must not do that!"

At this time, a burly man with a face that was 80% similar to Kyle walked out and said loudly:

"Brother and Captain Ryan have a close relationship. What if Captain Ryan proposes an unreasonable tactic and brother executes it out of affection?"

"Kaylan, you farted!"

Although Ryan had a calm expression, Kyle slammed the table and said, "Am I the kind of person who acts on emotion?!"

Kailan sneered: "Then let me ask you, brother, if Captain Ryan uses our military supplies to trade with the demons due to a shortage of supplies, will you comply?"

"Nonsense, how could Ryan come up with such an unreasonable thing!"

"But you didn't deny it!"

Kailan's eyes widened. "And as far as I know, Captain Ryan has a close relationship with the demon girl. Who can guarantee that he won't collude with the demons? If so, then the 60,000 troops..."

"Snapped!"

At this moment, a crisp sound of slapping the table was heard, interrupting Kailan's words.

For a moment, everyone looked at the source of the table-slapping sound - Ryan, who had been silent the whole time.

"Click——"

Unable to withstand Ryan's angry blow, the table immediately developed several cracks.

Ryan raised his eyes slightly and said to Kailan: "What did you just say?"

"I said, no one can guarantee that you will not collude with the demons..."

"It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence."

Ryan's voice was calm and cold. The volume was not loud, but it made Kailan feel a chill down his spine:

"I said, you colluded with the demon girl..."

"Chong-"

A crisp sword sound sounded.

No one saw Ryan make any movement, and no one saw Ryan draw his sword.

However, a sword mark suddenly appeared on Kailan's right cheek, and blood slowly slid down Kailan's cheek and dripped onto the floor of the hall.

The boundless murderous intent almost became a reality, enveloping Kailan.

Ryan, who was at the source of the murderous intent, looked at Kailan with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "If you say another word, I will kill you."

For a moment, the ministers who felt the murderous intent were silent.

Only Kailan, after touching the blood on his face in a daze, began to tremble violently and screamed at the top of his lungs:

"Guards! Guards! Someone is trying to murder the prince! Kill him now!!"

As soon as the words fell, a large group of guards immediately rushed into the palace and followed the direction pointed by Kailan, aiming at Ryan.

Kailan shouted at Ryan: "Ryan! Remember your position! You are just a noble! You are a subject, you should never, ever lay a hand on me! You are making an enemy of the entire Hedley!"

Seeing the chaos, Lud raised his hands and almost suffocated.

Ryan is against the entire Hedley? Then who can I count on to help me fight the demons?

But the fact is, Ryan, as a duke, openly attacked Kailan, who was a prince. If he were to protect Ryan at this time, would he still be able to keep his old face?

Kailan is still taking advantage of the situation: "I suspect Ryan is colluding with the demons! His attempt to murder me just now is evidence of collusion with the demons!"

Ryan was not afraid at all despite being pointed at by so many weapons. He sneered at Kailan:

"If I wanted your life, you would have died just now. What's more, if I colluded with the demons and left Kyle beside me and His Highness above unkilled, why would I kill a waste like you?"

Listening to Ryan's undisguised humiliation, Kailan's face flushed: "Kill him for me!"

Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, Luld finally slammed the armrest angrily: "Stop..."

"Who dares to lay hands on my fiancé!"

Before Luld could utter a single word, a childish voice suddenly rang out in the palace.

Futini, wearing a pure white princess dress, trotted back to the palace, blushing and shouting, "You idiots, put down your weapons!"

The Royal Guards Knight was still confused, but when he heard what the little princess said, he quickly put down his weapon.

Not to mention the knights, even the ministers were confused.

What? Captain Ryan is the little princess' fiancé?

So Captain Ryan is the consort chosen by Hedley?

Kailan also felt his head buzzing, and he turned his head mechanically to look at Futini: "Little sister, what did you say?"

"I said, Ryan is my fiancé!"

Futini put her hands on her hips, blushed, and repeated the sentence loudly again.

In fact, Futini had been peeking at Ryan outside the palace...peeking at what was going on in the palace.

Until the situation became tense, Futini got hot-headed and ran in.

Now Futini really wanted to cover her face and find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

It’s over, Lord Ryan… Lord Ryan still doesn’t know anything about this!
