Chapter 266: Good News

City of Light.

The entire city was filled with panic. There were hardly any residents on the road. There was a war in the country, so no one was in the mood for entertainment. It was still unknown whether they could survive.

In the palace, the King’s face did not show any expression, but the officials seemed a little anxious. Obviously, everyone’s thoughts were on the battlefield.

Until now, not a single piece of information had been sent back from the front line. It was impossible to say that they were not worried.

The king looked at the anxious officials and turned to look at the attendant beside him, “Is there any news on the battle situation at the front line?”

When the attendant heard the question, he was obviously nervous for a moment. He answered carefully, “Reporting to the king, there is still no news for the time being.”

The attendant deliberately kept his voice very low so that only the king could hear it.

However, what he did not understand was that if there was news of victory from the front line, the king would naturally announce it and let everyone hear such good news. However, as long as the king did not say anything, then there was no good news.

The atmosphere seemed to become more solemn than before. At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside the palace, his hat looked a little crooked from running.

“Report… Report!”

“There are two strangers outside. They said they bring news from the front line.”

Hearing this, the king frowned slightly.

“What kind of strangers?”

“They don’t look like soldiers. They look like ordinary civilians, but…”

“They seem to be holding on to weapons, which makes them not look like ordinary civilians either.”

Hearing such a reply, the king’s frown deepened. Normally, only soldiers would send news from the front line. How could there be civilians that sent news?

If they were carrying weapons… They were most likely hunters who hunted for a living. To be able to casually send news to hunters, it was most likely because the situation at the front lines was really very urgent.

This conclusion was drawn by the king in a short period of time. Moreover, it was not just the king. Almost all the officials had thought of this conclusion. For a moment, everyone’s expression became ugly.

Some of the officials might even be thinking about how to surrender in their hearts. Seeing the atmosphere in the palace, the guard who came to report was also a little nervous. They lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

King Harold did not say anything. He waved his hand and said, “Let them in.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

When the soldier heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left the hall. He was just a soldier. Staying here made him feel uncomfortable. He was willing to leave as soon as possible.

After all, the atmosphere in the palace was so oppressive. Who knew if the king would vent his anger on the soldier?

After the soldier left, the palace quieted again. The officials all looked outside the palace as they waited for the news brought by the two supposed hunters.

However, after a few minutes, two figures that did not look like hunters came to the palace, which surprised everyone. Ordinary hunters wore clothes made of animal skin, this was because these clothes they wore kept them warm and looked good. At the same time, hunters wore medals that proved their strength.

However, these two guys wore ordinary clothes. Mike was wearing ordinary clothes because his armor was withheld by the elves. Only this set of clothes was bought by Timus for him. Timus, on the other hand, was wearing ordinary clothes because he was confident. He did not think that anyone could hurt him, so he did not need armor.

The two guys who were armed, but were not soldiers or hunters that came to the palace, so people had to pay attention to them. Immediately, the commander of the guards behind the king took a few steps forward and blocked the steps in front of King Harold.

The meaning was obvious. If they wanted to do anything, the commander of the guards would immediately pull out their weapons.

Seeing this scene, Mike and Timus looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Timus took a step forward and said, “Hello, Your Majesty. I am here to pass on the news from the front line.”

Hearing this, King Harold nodded slightly and spoke with a serious tone, “What’s the situation on the battlefield now? What happened? If you know what happened, just tell me directly.”

Timus nodded and looked at the commander of the guards, then continued, “The situation on the front line is very good now. The elf race has been retreating step by step. The soldiers may have already started their attack on the Ancient City of War.”

Hearing Timus’ relaxed tone, many officials revealed happy expressions. They did not expect to win the first battle, and it was a huge victory! They could almost imagine the scene of the human soldiers attacking the Ancient City of War.

Many officials immediately sighed.

“As expected of General Henry!”

“As expected, there is no battle that General Henry can not win!”

“It is great that we humans have such a hero.”

“His Majesty, the King, must reward General Henry well!”

At this time, King Harold finally revealed a smile. Although he had been a little worried while waiting for the news, he still trusted Henry. After all, Henry was the great hero of the human race!

Now that he heard such information, King Harold naturally became very happy. He immediately nodded and said, “Good!

“Since you have brought such good news, I will naturally reward you well.

“Men, give them a bag of gold coins!”

King Harold waved his hand, and the attendant next to him immediately prepared to take the gold coins and give them to Timus and Mike as rewards.

However, at this time, a loud shout suddenly appeared in the hall.

“Your Majesty, these two suspicious people must be spies sent by the enemy!”

With a clang, the commander of the guards pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed it at Timus. Seeing this scene, many officials froze on the spot, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Mike was a little nervous, but Timus took a step forward.

“Who are you? How dare you slander me?

“Do you believe that I will teach you a lesson right now?”

As he said this, Timus pulled out his weapon with an angry expression.

Seeing this scene, King Harold stood up with an unhappy expression. After all, the commander of the guards was his trusted aide. Letting him wear a weapon here was also to protect his own safety.

However, no one had ever dared to draw a weapon in the palace!

Harold’s good impression of Timus and Mike immediately disappeared. However, he still suppressed his anger and turned to look at the commander of the Imperial guards, “Harvey, why did you say that they were spies sent by the enemy?”

After all, so many officials and attendants were present. Harold had to show a fair and strict attitude in order to convince the public.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not be unreasonable.

Hearing Harold’s words, Harvey sneered and said, “Your Majesty, if there is really good news at the front line, why didn’t General Henry send the soldiers to deliver the message? Why did he send the two of them instead?

“This matter is very suspicious. Your Majesty, please don’t believe their words!”

As soon as he said this, a sneer came from Timus.

“Henry? You mean that piece of trash? He’s already dead.”
