Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 733 The General's Order (Part One)

"My Lord, I was discourteous. Please forgive me if I have offended you!" Darren expressed uneasilyand promptly got down on one knee. Regret was clearly evident in his whole being.

"Offended me? Not in the least! Please get up and stop making your heart troubled. Ha-ha! I knewyou meant no harm when being mad at me regarding the Cross Expeditionary Force. On thecontrary, I see it as a manifestation of your goodwill. How can I blame a man of good virtue? Pleasestop blaming yourself and rise immediately!" Lord Donald paused and thoughtfully watched theyoung man kneeling before him. Sighing, he purposely took a step forward and reached out rightaway to help Darren up by the arm.

"Oh, come on. What is the use of drawing the blame to yourself when you are not at fault? It's allbecause of the Cross Expeditionary Force. They are the ones that are responsible for this wholedrama,” Elsa pointed out with a warm smile plastered on her face.

"Ha-ha! You are right!"

Hearing Elsa's outburst, both Darren and Lord Donald laughed in unison and good-naturedlynodded in agreement.

So, without further platitudes and formalities, Lord Donald and Darren eventually sat down andsoon embarked on their council.

"Auberon, come out and show yourself!" Lord Donald commanded authoritatively as soon as hesettled himself. Then immediately after, Auberon came into everyone's sight in the room.

"What can I do for you, My Lord?" Auberon inquired almost immediately as he stooped low,showing his deep respect for the lord.

"I dispatch you to check out the Cross Expeditionary Force straight away. If there is anything thatthey are not doing based on the rule, have them provide a rational explanation. Otherwise, I shouldsuppress their evil spirits even if I have to send an army upon them!" Lord Donald instructed with agrave expression on his face. His deep voice reverberated with expected firmness.

"Yes, sir!" Auberon solemnly responded as if everything was anticipated. And a moment later, heefficiently turned around. He looked quite ready with the task given to him

However, he did not just set off then. Instead, his gaze landed on Darren as his face remainedsolemn and grave. A few seconds later, when he leisurely strode towards the door, he explicitly senta message to Darren. "Darren, good for you!"

"Thank you for the compliment! I am obliged to eliminate the evil and..."

Long before Darren could even finish his sentence, Auberon abruptly interrupted him, "Save yourbreath, boy! I was talking about the girl you tricked. She is absolutely the most beautiful girl that Ihave ever seen on the continent.”

With these words, Auberon just disappeared without a trace, leaving Darren dumbstruck.

He didn't know why, but it rendered him speechless.

"Ha-ha, did you hear that? He said that you are blessed having me. Now tell me! Do you love me?"Elsa chimed in after she overheard their small talk. She was wearing a big smile on her face as shesauntered to Darren. The delight she felt in her heart was showing with the way she grinned fromear to ear.

"Of course. I love you!" Darren professed while holding Elsa gently in his arms. His eyes softened ashe stared at her beautiful face intently.

"That's enough! Watching you two clinging to each other makes me feel sick and a bit awkward. Buthonestly, when are you two going to get married?" Lord Donald cheerfully asked them with a slysmile akin to teasing them. He seemed to be fond of this couple.

"When all the things are rightfully done, and when we get some free time, we will soon arrange themarriage,” Darren confided as he softly fondled Elsa's rippling hair. He was quite surprised that hewas actually looking forward to it.

"Who wants to marry you? Don't you feel shameless?" flushed, Elsa quickly retorted.

"We have already slept together, then why can't we get married?” Darren blurted out innocently."You!" Elsa was stunned for a moment as her face turned red to the ears. She timidly pinched hisarm, pouted her lips and muttered something barely audible in her shyness.

Lord Donald couldn't help beaming at the two. Glancing at his side, he casually asked the maids toserve the best wines. While they were enjoying their drinks, they conscientiously reached anagreement that they would send Nate home.

Sometime in the afternoon, a few unexpected visitors suddenly arrived at the Sacred Palace.

There were three of them, all impeccably dressed in golden armors, barged into the Sacred Palace."Eason Ye, how dare you invade my Sacred Palace?"

Lord Donald roared. He felt angry by their sudden appearance. "What? Lord Donald, why don't youjust hand my person over before putting the blame on me?" the one, who was standing at the head,countered coldly.

As they stood there, rigidly upright and proud, Darren had sensed that these three men, who wereexuding killing intent all over their bodies, were much more terrifying than those members of theCross Expeditionary Force that he had killed.

"Hand over whom?" Undeterred by their frightening suppression, Lord Donald demanded in a leveltone that sounded so strange that Darren didn't ever remember hearing such a tongue from him."The one who killed the team members of my Cross Expeditionary Force, of course. And if I guess itright, this man should be the one I want," Eason Ye requested, pointing bluntly at Darren.

"I got it,” Lord Donald nodded and implied. "So you think he killed your team members, right? Butdid he try to kill you?"

"Lord Donald, don't talk nonsense! Just hand him over!" Eason Ye interjected. His attitude was coldand arrogant, and his words were mean.

"Don't worry, Eason. If I remember correctly, you are the general of the Third Army, under thecommand of Edwin Ye, right?" Lord Donald calmly pursued.

Eason Ye snorted with anger, and he felt restless and annoyed. "I told you. Don't talk nonsense!Hand over that brat or your Sacred Palace will be demolished!" he thundered, looking stubbornlystraight into Lord Donald's eyes.

"That's great,” Lord Donald commented dismissively. He still didn't give his consent.

Just as Eason was about to draw out his weapon in wrath, Lord Donald suddenly vanished from hisseat. And when he reappeared again, Eason's head had already exploded.

"You don't deserve to be a general. How dare you threaten me like that? It is no exaggeration toend your life here. Throw his body out!" in a tone of voice as calm and flat as ever, Lord Donaldordered his men.

While Darren, who keenly observed the exchange of words between the two, stared at Lord Donaldwith total disbelief showing in his eyes. He didn't expect the ever kind and amiable lord to killsomeone today.
