Of all the people Allen knew, apart from Diego, there was no other man who could draw eyeliner, eyeshadow, white foundation, and lip gloss on his face. So he cut his hair short and even grew two mustaches to dress up as a mature man, but Ellen still recognized him at once. Diego, the young master of the Grant Clan, had once lost contact with the clan. Now, he was wearing armor similar to Howson's, a short pitch-black cloak, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a spear in his hand, standing in front of Allen.
"Diego" Allen nodded, "What a surprise. I didn't expect to see you here."
"Otherwise, Earl Allen must have thought I was dead, right? Do you think it's a pity now that I'm not only alive, but also living very well? " Diego blinked his eyes. This rather feminine expression made the men behind Allen feel a chill run down their spines, but he didn't care at all. He said to Allen, "Look, I'm already Level 24."
"Really? Congratulations. After all, it's not easy for Young Master Diego to level up to this level, but I'm already Level 26. "
"Oh, so what? After this spring hunt, I will be the Earl of the Empire. "
"I'm already."
Now, anyone could tell that this pair of "old friends" were not on the right track at all. The competition between the two of them was very intense. The tent seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder. Allen and Diego's eyes almost wiped out flames in the air.
Diego shrugged, "Anyway, it's good to see you here. Because this time, I'm going to defeat you with my own hands, Earl Allen. "
"Then I'll really wait and see."
Diego did not respond. He bowed exaggeratedly to the Second Prince and retreated behind Howson. The First Prince smiled and said to Julian, "My brother, don't let me run into you in the hunting field. I won't show mercy."
"That's what I said too, big brother." Julian said.
Howson nodded and led Diego out. Before leaving the tent, Diego turned around and wiped his neck with a finger. He stuck out his tongue and sneered at Allen. After he left, Julian coughed dryly and said, "This friend of yours … is really special."
Allen shook his head. The current situation was a bit like a repeat of the Babylonian aristocratic Autumn Hunt, but he was no longer the youth from back then. Allen turned and said, "Looks like we have to be careful. I think the First Prince probably has the same idea as us."
Julian was dumbfounded. "He wants to kill Vanishing Shadow too?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. Didn't His Highness Howson say that he didn't have anything to set up? If he's determined to kill Vanishing Shadow, he doesn't need to set up anything. "
The Second Prince furrowed his brows and said, "Although there are rules in the process of the spring hunt that do not injure or even kill the participants, it is still not enough. But in the past spring hunts, there have been many accidents … "
Allen narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Highness means that we can take this opportunity to cause an accident to the First Prince?"
"No, no, no …" Julian shook his head. "I'm worried that they will create an accident for you. As for Big Brother. In the past, I wouldn't mind causing an accident to him, but now that the Shadow Duchy is invading. Roderick is leading the troops outside. If anything happens to Howson at this time, I'm afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in the military and even damage national affairs. Although the position of Crown Prince is important, if the position of Crown Prince is to ruin national affairs, then I would be too ignorant. I also have to ask you, in case there is a conflict with Big Brother and the others, it's best not to harm his life. "
Allen nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have a sense of propriety."
In the camp, Diego walked behind Howson. Back then, his hunting squad had unluckily landed in the Dark Forest and escaped with their lives, but they had lost contact with their clan. This was a fatal matter on a distant alien planet. Losing contact meant that there was no backup. The entire team, including Diego, was in a disadvantageous situation with Allen when he first arrived on Planet Heaven.
What was even more tragic was that Diego's team had also arrived at the border of the empire. It just so happened that Shadow Duchy had sent an assault team to invade the border. Diego and the others were inexplicably forced to fight an outsider. By the time the Black Wolf Army arrived, Diego was the only one who survived. At that time, Howson was in that team, so he got to know Diego.
Later on, Diego was brought back to the Black Wolf Army camp. He randomly made up an identity, but the Black Wolf Army did not verify the identity that was full of mistakes. The root cause was Howson. At that time, Howson was beginning to look for candidates to form his own team. Diego was quite skilled and was favored by the First Prince. Young Master Grant, who was stranded on an alien planet, naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to climb up to the empire's nobles, so he immediately clapped.
After that, Diego gave Howson a chance to train in the Black Wolf Army. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, the environment forced this noble young master, who had been pampered in the past, to work hard to change himself. The current Diego was very different from before. Apart from still liking to smear things on his face, he had made great progress in military and personal strength.
"Your Highness Hawson, I am very familiar with Earl Allen. He dares to do anything. Although I hate that guy, I have to admit that he is sometimes crazy. " Diego reminded, "So this spring hunt, based on my understanding of Earl Allen, he is likely to attack Vanishing Shadow directly."
"Oh? That would be interesting. If Julian passes this plan, then I will have to change my mind about Julian. "Hawson paused and sneered," But no matter what, Vanishing Shadow will only be mine! "
"Of course." Diego added, "Don't you think about it? Actually, you can kill Vanishing Shadow and leave it to us. You don't have to take risks. "
At this moment, the First Prince's tent arrived. Hawson opened the tent and entered. Seven or eight men and women were either standing or sitting in the tent. Everyone was dressed in black armor and black clothes, and their auras were heavy. When they saw Hawson, they all stood up and bowed. Howson waved his hand, turned to look at Diego and narrowed his eyes, "Do you think I'm Julian? Or is Severus the trash who only knows how to rely on his uncle? I want to prove to my father that if I am the king, I will decorate the crown with blood. And the first drop of blood starts with Vanishing Shadow! "
At this moment, Hawson's entire body emitted an invisible pressure. Even though his Origin Energy was not the strongest here, everyone was convinced by his spirit. Diego hurriedly bowed and said, "We are willing to die for Your Highness."
The others responded one after another.
Hawson laughed in satisfaction, but he didn't know that Diego glanced at him with a smile in his eyes.
When Hawson stopped, Diego said, "Tomorrow's hunt, Your Highness, you must be careful of Allen and the others."
"It doesn't matter. I've already thought of how to deal with them."
Woo woo woo, a deep and drawn-out horn sounded from outside the tent. Hawson turned around and his cloak fluttered like flames. "Let's go. Father is here."
The camp was extremely lively. Everyone got out of the tent and gathered by the roadside. Two groups of brightly armored Knight, the King's Sword personal guards who belonged directly to Tangerio, separated the crowd. The Knight kept shouting, "Make way for Your Majesty." The excited crowd desperately rushed forward, just to see Tangerio's king demeanor. As a result, more than a dozen powerful auras rose from the guards, suppressing the surging crowd. Those were the experts in the King's Sword. They released their auras one after another, finally calming the crowd down a little.
Allen and Julian stood together. The two of them had to share a small space. Bolin, Gao Hu, and the others dispersed, separating the crowd from the Second Prince. Allen took advantage of Julian's light and didn't have to squeeze with the others. He stopped and looked. At the entrance of the camp, a group of people slowly came over, led by Tangerio.
The Great Emperor was dressed in golden armor that sparkled in the sunlight. He was as mighty as a god of war descending to the mortal world. The warhorse he rode on was also extraordinary. It was the offspring of wild horses and some powerful wild beasts. The horse was as big as a water buffalo and as strong as a magical beast. Its fur was pitch-black, and its head and body were covered in armor specially made for it. The black armor was painted with flying golden patterns, and from afar, it looked like a warhorse stepping on flames. Just the aura emitted by the horse made other horses not dare to approach, highlighting the might of the Great Emperor.
Tangerio sat on his horse and waved at the screaming people who saluted him on both sides. As he passed by Julian, the Second Prince bowed, while Allen and the others half-knelt. Tangerio's mount, Black Lightning, stopped and the Great Emperor said in a deep voice, "Julian, you have the help of Earl Allen this year, and your chances of winning have greatly increased. Tell me, what is your goal for this spring hunt? "
Julian glanced at Allen, raised his head, and said resolutely, "Only fight for first place!"
Tangerio narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his rugged face. "Just fight for first place? Alright, I, Tangerio's son, have this confidence. "
"Looks like Julian and I will have a good competition." Hawson's voice came from the other side of the road.
Tangerio turned around and Hawson met his father's gaze and said, "Father, the first place in this year's spring hunt will only be mine!"
The Great Emperor happily said, "Then let me see what kind of wonderful performance you two brothers have!"
The cheers were like thunder, and Julian and Hawson's declaration of victory, as well as the Great Emperor's encouragement, pushed the atmosphere to its strongest stage.
However, there was one thing that was very strange. Even when the Great Emperor entered his own tent, he didn't see the Fourth Prince appear, as if he didn't want to compete with his two brothers for first place. Many attentive people noticed this, and it didn't take long for people to discover that the people in front of Savis' tent were pitifully few. They didn't look like they were going to participate in the spring hunt at all, but rather like they were here to watch the show.
That night, a grand bonfire party was held in the camp. Liquor, barbecue, fruits and vegetables, and all sorts of other delicacies were placed on the tables of everyone. Tangerio personally arrived and wished all the participants a good result. That night, it was unknown how many people were drunk and unable to get up.
