Alda blushed and nodded gently.
Edgar slowly made his way upstairs and saw that Alda's door was half-open. Edgar tiptoed up to the door and saw that Alda was sitting at her desk, holding a book and reading intently.
"Alda! Guess who it is!" Edgar smiled and gently covered Alda's eyes, leaning in to whisper in her ear and breathing softly.
Alda's body stiffened, then softened in Edgar's arms. The familiar voice, the familiar scent - of course Alda knew who it was. And besides, who else would dare to act this way towards her? Alda leaned against Edgar's chest, calling softly, "King brother!"
"Okay, King brother will take you for a walk!" Edgar smiled, wrapping his arms around Alda from behind and casually squeezing her pink peaks. Alda blushed and nodded gently.
Edgar smiled and led Alda out with the guards. The city of Jyavar, although considered a large city among the elves, was no more than the size of a somewhat more prosperous human town in Edgar's eyes. However, it was not Earth, and the cultural differences were quite significant. Watching the strange buildings and customs, it was actually quite enjoyable.
"King brother, it's so beautiful here!" Alda leaned against Edgar's side, looking at the surroundings. Edgar had only brought a few disguised bodyguards with him this time, so they looked like wealthy young men out for a leisurely stroll, which was actually quite enjoyable. "Alda, what's that?" Edgar suddenly spotted a flower that looked a lot like a sunflower at a stall not far away, and he grabbed Alda and ran over to it.
"Brother King, sunflower!" Alda saw the flower and immediately got excited, never expecting to see a sunflower here.
"Boss, how much for this?" Edgar spoke Elvish, the language commonly used in the city of Ziya, so he didn't have to worry about language barriers.
"This flower isn't expensive, just a life," the boss chuckled, then suddenly sprang into action, stabbing a dagger into Edgar's body.
"Shit!" Edgar felt something was wrong at the very beginning, pulling Alda back, but it was too late. However, fortunately, Edgar had received quite a lot of training at the base, avoiding vital areas.
"Kill!" No one saw where Edgar's weapon came from, a stream of light flew by, and the boss's head had already been cut off.
However, Edgar's situation was not optimistic, three more assassins rushed in, and the guards he had brought along were also being held back by some assassins, unable to come in time. Edgar supported himself with his injured body, wielding his sword to defend himself, and shouted loudly, "Under attack, immediate support!"
The three assassins all had over eight-level strength, although Edgar was already at the peak of level nine, but Edgar had to protect Alda, and was badly injured by the combined efforts of the others. "My brother," Alda saw Edgar injured, felt a powerful force emanating from his dantian, and heard a constant roar in his head, shouting, "My brother cannot die, Alda cannot die, My brother and Alda must live!"
Edgar suddenly felt a powerful force emanating from Alda, and when he turned around, he saw a red-clad woman emerging from Alda's body.
"Red Alda!" Edgar was startled, and received several more wounds. At this moment, the fully-formed Red Alda emerged, holding a magical bow, and seeing the three assassins attacking Edgar, fired an arrow at them.
The assassin was caught off guard, and Red Alda's arrow pierced his throat. Edgar saw someone to help him, spat a mouthful of blood onto the demon sword, and the sword emitted a dazzling light, piercing the heart of one of the assassins. Meanwhile, the guards also broke free from their entanglements and killed the last assailant.
"Your Majesty, are you alright? Let me heal you!" Oswin also rushed over at this time, saw the wounds on Edgar's body, and immediately cast a healing spell on him.
"Take the ones who are still alive away, and make them talk!" Edgar looked at the unconscious assassins on the ground and frowned, instructing Oswin.
"Yes! Take them away, and be careful not to let them commit suicide!" Oswin instructed the guards. These guards were elite naval infantrymen, accustomed to wet work, and were not unfamiliar with the assassins' methods.
"Alda, let's go!" Edgar smiled at the two Alda, one blue and one red, and led them towards the inn. Although he had suffered some injuries this time, he hadn't expected the red Alda to appear, so it wasn't really a loss.
When Edgar called for help, he used the public channel, meaning that any of his subordinates could receive the signal. Therefore, within less than three minutes, the dragon riders arrived first. A hundred and fifty dragon riders from a support carrier formed the vanguard, with three fighters leading the way, and they flew towards the city of Gyai in a black mass.
The soldiers of Gyai were confused, not knowing why the quiet soldiers on the warships had suddenly attacked. It was just this moment of hesitation that allowed the three fighters to enter the city, followed by the dragon riders. The situation was even more serious when the landing ships of the carrier strike group immediately began to deploy naval infantry and various armored vehicles.
"What? How could this happen?" When they heard the report from their subordinates, Alice and Anthony immediately realized that something was wrong. Edgar's troops would not have landed without a reason, and the only reason that could have made them act in this way was that Edgar had run into trouble. Indeed, the first messenger had just left when the second messenger arrived to report that Edgar had been attacked by an assassin.
"Where is the prince? Bring us there immediately!" Alice frowned, unlike Anthony, Alice was more familiar with Edgar's strength and the strength of his men. If this escalated into a national war, the Morning Star Elf Kingdom had a low chance of winning. When Alice and Anthony found Edgar, he had already wrapped his wounds.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Alice looked at Edgar, who was wrapped up like a mummy, and was shocked, so she hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine," Edgar forced a smile and pretended to be badly injured. In fact, Edgar hadn't suffered much injury, most of it was just superficial injuries, so it looked very terrifying.
"Your men..." Anthony looked uneasily at the double-legged dragon knights who kept circling in the sky and the fighters that made a loud roaring sound, no one had expected that Edgar's strength would be so terrifying.
"Let's just call it a drill!" Edgar looked at the troops that had already completed the landing and smiled.
With a loud bang, the huge city gate was brutally rammed open by a tank. The thick bull tanks, the shadowy tanks that appeared and disappeared, the strange-looking lightling tanks, and the multi-functional infantry vehicles that could transform, as well as the elite marine corps that followed behind the tanks, formed a neat line and marched down the street, rumbling and rolling out of the city in the elves' panic. "Please sit down, gentlemen. It was just a misunderstanding, and the prince's army overreacted! The misunderstanding has been cleared up, and the prince will hold a ball tomorrow evening to explain the matter! Please be sure to attend on time," Reno stood in the drawing room, looking at the nobles who were trying to maintain their composure and said softly.
"That's good news!" The nobles assured each other, after all, no one wanted to see the soldiers as soon as they stepped outside. At first, some people thought that Edgar was just the prince of some small human country, but now it seems that Edgar's strength far exceeded everyone's expectations.
On the other hand, Joseph was smiling to himself. He had already had an intention to cooperate with Edgar, so with Edgar's strength, perhaps his ambition to become the leader of the family was not difficult to achieve.
"The prince, they're all gone! The nobles are all gone!" Reno saw that everyone had left, and he put on a cold face and walked into Edgar's room, asking him.
"And the assassins? I want to interrogate them personally!" Edgar's face turned cold, and this time, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the red Alda, he would have died or suffered a serious injury. After interrogating who did it, of course, it was time to start retaliation.
"Yes, Your Highness, please follow me!" Reno's face was expressionless, and he led Edgar through the guards and into a hidden room. In the room, three big men were already covered in wounds, with numerous scars on their bodies. A few black-clad Navy SEALs were carrying various torture instruments, indicating that they had already used them. Edgar led Oswin and Reno to the main seat and looked at the three men, asking, "Say, who gave you the order!"
The three men clenched their teeth and coldly looked at Edgar. They were all elite assassins who had been trained since childhood, and these injuries meant nothing to them.
"Beat their hands and feet!" A chilling look flashed across Edgar's eyes, and he suddenly thought of a method of torture. The Navy SEALs received orders and walked forward, carrying various blunt weapons, and broke the assassins' hands and feet. Edgar smiled and cast the Pure Heaven Blessing Spell, and the assassins' hands and feet grew back at a visible rate.
Edgar saw that the treatment was complete and withdrew the Blessing Spell, instructing the soldiers to break the assassins' hands and feet again. This was repeated over and over, until the fifth time when finally one of the assassins spoke up.
"Please, kill me! I'll tell you everything!" Now the assassin only wanted to die, and no one could bear this endless, incessant torture.
"Who?" Edgar ignored the assassin's plea and coldly asked him.
"It was Andrew Fire, the leader of the Flame Family, who ordered me to do it," the assassin said, not wasting any time and immediately implicating the leader.
"Kill them!" Edgar frowned and turned to leave. Thinking to himself, as expected, the Flame Family - let it become history.
"My lord, do you want revenge?" Reno followed Edgar to the living room and stood respectfully to the side, asking him.
"Revenge, of course. Reno, you and Oswin will take care of this. I don't want to see the Flame Family on this continent in a week," Edgar was now like a coiled cobra, ready to reveal his fangs.
On the other hand, in the mansion of Lord Anthony, Anthony and Alice were frowning and sitting in the living room.
"What do you think about today's incident?" Anthony frowned, although he had a vague guess, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Uncle Anthony has already guessed, why ask me? In this Zhiya City, what can be hidden from Uncle?" Alice smiled bitterly and looked at Anthony.
"What do you think Edgar lord will do?" Anthony frowned, judging from Edgar's performance today, the Flame Family this time might have offended someone they couldn't afford to offend.
"The Flame Family is finished!" Alice sighed, although she had no good feelings towards the Flame Family, after all, they were one of the big families in the country. Anthony was surprised and thought that Edgar would take revenge, but he didn't expect Alice to say that the Flame Family was finished. Did Edgar really have such great power?
Alice saw that Anthony didn't believe her, so she smiled bitterly and said, "You saw the situation today. Fortunately, Edgar is fine, otherwise those soldiers would have bloodshed the city of Jia! Their combat ability is very strong. They only took half a day to wipe out the Dragon Shark Pirate Union."
"Let the Flame Family take the consequences of their own actions. Now, the hope of the Elf Tree is in Edgar's hands. We can't afford to be at odds with the Star Kingdom for the Flame Family!" Alice sighed and slowly said. Anthony was shocked. It seemed that the royal family was ready to abandon the Flame Family.
