Vol 6 Chapter 188: good news

"You climbed all the way, right, my Duke?"
On the wall of the Fortress Boundary Hill, Salika Jonah, with her waist in a fuss, looks unabashedly proud: "I thought you would definitely be ahead of us this time, and wait for me. You will not be here until five days-seriously, can it be slower? "
"The road was blocked by heavy snow for a few days." The dark-haired wizard smiled faintly, pretending not to hear the sarcasm of the other party, and looked down the wall of the wall to the inside and outside of the wall, and the endless East Sacrament Plain.
There is also a spacious camp where the sound of horses roaring beyond the end and the flag of horses is erect.
The knights of Boe lived in a castle built of stones, and the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain could not accommodate 10,000 cavalrymen, so they simply built a nomad camp behind the fortress, which looked like a sudden, densely populated town.
"Of course, after all, Byrne is in the south." Sighing softly, Loren chuckled: "It's still not as good as our northern brothers and sisters in adapting to winter."
"Well ... you gangs of exquisite Yankees are not as cold-resistant as our horseback men."
Sallyka agrees with this point: "But ... shouldn't this be the reason?"
Ok?
Loren raised his eyebrows, but did not react for a while.
"Come on, do you want to play silly with me?"
The female face of the scimitar, whose expression changed suddenly, smiled "quite profoundly", and with a "slap!", Her elbow hit Loren's chest: "You can deceive others, you can't deceive me-Charlotte I If you do n’t understand it, she wo n’t get what she wants! "
"You definitely have no time to send a message to Byrne before you go to Ebden, so Charlotte must have arranged everything for that celebration-this is what she planned to use to turn your army's game into a wizard. Wedding with relatives next to the royal family. "
"What does that mean? It means that this is a guise! The blood wedding is too difficult, and it is easy to be thought that you are greedy for the title and wealth of Charlotte, so I made a special come out-right? I said nothing Wrong? "
After talking, Sallyka stared at Loren with her eyes wide open, a look of "I'm right, I'm bragging about my greatness".
Loren, who didn't know how to answer, frowned.
Although it is completely misrepresented, the result is correct.
Of course, only half right.
The dark-haired wizard sighed softly: "This matter is still a secret for the time being, Charlotte and I plan to announce it in a while."
"Hiss ... it really is ..." The inner guess was confirmed, but Sallyka was shocked, and immediately showed an angry-or jealous-expression:
"No wonder you will be late, haven't you all been day and night since that day ... right ?! That's right ?!"
"..." Loren Turin.
"What are you doing, why should you look at me with such an expression?" Sallyka asked fiercely: "Do you think I'm jealous? I'm the boss of Boe, the leader of the horseback will be jealous of you ?!"
"... jealous?"
"Of course I'm jealous. I'm so jealous-as long as you think of you two in a room with a fireplace, back and forth on a soft feather bed, I can't stand being jealous!"
The granddaughter of the scimitar, Zhang Yawu claws, does not care about her image at all, and she shouts in a straightforward manner.
But straightforward ... it is indeed her advantage.
Anger, hate, joy, excitement, madness ... This woman never knows what to cover up, and expresses all her emotions straight, what she wants and hates, she can say it out loud.
Well, especially in terms of wishes and ambitions, it is indeed somewhat similar to Charlotte.
"No matter sooner or later, Charlotte can always get what she wants;" Salika, with a sullen face, pouted her lips uncomfortably: "It's all like this, and it's like this now, 嘁 ......"
The expression was like telling Loren "There is a story in it."
Ok? Having said that, Charlotte seems to be particularly concerned about Salika, these two people ... Could it really happen?
"Salika, I was very curious about something before, between you and Charlotte ..."
"clang!"
The voice came to an abrupt end, and the stunned Loren stared at the long knife "iron ride" that was suddenly nailed in front of him-the smooth blade almost completely cut into the gap between the stones and penetrated the wall under his feet.
Yan Si made a seam, and couldn't even see a little gravel.
"Oh, I'm so careless." Sallyka, with a sullen face, looked up, still staring at him with those fierce eyes:
"Sorry, my knife fell out of the scabbard, didn't hurt you?"
Loren's throat twitched.
"No, no."
"Ah, that's good, then that's good." The granddaughter-in-law, who raised her lips and smiled—or grinned--nodded: "Be careful when you ask questions in the future, pay attention to your surroundings; If you pay attention, I will just ... "
When the voice did not fall, a loud cries suddenly sounded on the wall.
"Lord of Sackland, His Majesty Connold arrives--!"
The thick voice of Ernest Dresis, the deputy commander of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, echoed in the ears of the two, breaking the deadly and strangely extreme atmosphere, making the two look back at the same time.
At the end of the road where the legionnaires stood on their knees neatly on one knee, Connor de Salion, dressed in black with a big red background, walked without expression in the company of Dresis.
"Good morning, my Duke."
With a leisurely opening, Connaughter glanced "inadvertently" at the two who were also looking at him, and then looked at the long knife "iron ride" inserted on the ground. The changing expression was very playful:
"Very well, it seems that you have greeted you."
呲 鎯 !
In front of Connold, Sallyka pulled out her long knife very politely, deliberately playing a knife flower in Dressis's almost murderous eyes, and got it in her sheath.
"Yeah, we just talked about the intelligence of the Azores for a while-the battle sword 'Iron Rider' passed down from generation to generation, using the craft of the Azores long sword, everyone knows."
The Granddaughter of the Scimitar said coldly: "So I will ask Lord Baine about the difference between the swordsmanship of the Azore Elf Warrior and ours ... is there a problem?"
"It's no problem. Duke Loren once sent a mission to Wuyue Court, and no one knows the elves beyond the empire." Connor's expression was calm:
"But I think this kind of thing is better understood by others than listening to other people's descriptions, Grand Duke Salika ... what do you think?"
Sally, who was pushed back, snorted and said nothing more.
"The chatting ends here, let's get back to the topic." Connold's eyes turned and fell on the black-haired wizard: "Dresis told me that Byrne sent troops in total this time, only five thousand?"
"Yes, there are a total of five thousand knights, and the Crimson Dragon Grum, who promised to assist us, plus half of the 13 Earl of Byrne." Loren intentionally emphasized:
"This is the result of careful discussion by Baine from top to bottom-we all agree that if your majesty only wants to guard the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, what is needed is not a huge army, but absolute elite."
"And after having Poe's 10,000 hussars, the empire no longer needs more cavalry as a mobile support; and the famous Sarkland 'black wall' should not need the southern infantry to shine in the ice and snow. "
"Five thousand knights, more than enough."
He listened to the dark-haired wizard's seemingly straightforward but thorny answer, and Dracis frowned.
Within the empire, only Bayern, who follows the traditional "knight system", the "knight" title is not like a knight, but more like an honorary title and occupation; as long as he has noble blood-no matter how much-and has accepted the standard knight After training, you can be titled "Knight".
Conversely, if a person does not participate in war, has no "travel" experience, or even received knight training; then even if he has a knighthood, he cannot be called a "knight".
It is for this reason that only Byrne can build a large-scale "knight legion" up and down the empire-although most of them are mainly hired "ranger knights" and "free knights", they are already very scary.
Of course, the five thousand knights are an extremely powerful fighting force even for the "town of knights" by Baine; not to mention half of the counts in the Principality at one time, it is enough to prove the sincerity of Baine.
So no matter how there are opinions, there is really nothing to refute and question.
"That is to say, Byrne's understanding of the form of war determines the strength and quality of the battle?" Emperor Connold said lightly.
Loren nodded slightly: "It can be said."
"Then I now change my current combat objectives ..."
"I can only strongly recommend your majesty, it's best not to do this." Loren is not polite: "A change in the established plan will inevitably cause the military spirit and the morale to shake; not to mention the temporary preparations must be in a hurry, I am afraid that all goals will be completed by then Nope. "
"If this change does not require any further preparation?"
"If you don't prepare, you will definitely ..."
Suddenly aware of what the dark-haired wizard, the words came to an abrupt end, staring at Connor, who looked cold.
At that moment, he found that the other two were looking at himself.
Obviously, the information about the Azores is not completely known.
"Dresis told me that the army of the Azores was walking a third of the way from west to east, approaching the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain."
Loren frowned slightly: "Is there any change?"
"One-third ... this is the information from a few days ago, you not only came late, you even know the news so late ?!" Salika, who didn't look back, glared at the dark-haired wizard and asked deliberately. Road.
As for what happened to Dracis' face, she was too lazy to care.
"The latest news, we have found traces of these long ears-just near an abandoned camp near the Valley of Blood Skeleton, but there are far fewer than 40,000 troops, hundreds of them."
"Not only that, the enemies of these small stocks seem to be more than one or two, they all add up to about 2,000 troops, but they are distributed in the ice field outside the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, from the east to the west of the Blood Skull Valley. They are almost everywhere! "
Salika deliberately laughed in a very relaxed tone: "So we came to a conclusion that what kind of blind eyes this group of guys are doing, deliberately made us mistakenly think that they are marching fast, forcing us to dare not leave the boundary Mountain fortress, shrinking here, I do n’t know what they are doing! "
"Since that's the case, then we can't be more satisfied with them!"
"So ..." Loren raised his eyebrows.
"So we sent an elite ranger to raid them and sent us to confuse our troops." Salika continued: "Then I will follow the vine and grab their tails!"
"Can it succeed?"
"Two hundred legionary rangers, a thousand Boe hussars, led by the church knight leader of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, vowed to the knight Lord Naze, plus Earl Seth Braha of Poi, absolutely foolproof, do n’t be small Look at the bravery of our Boi! "
"I don't mean to underestimate the Boi people, I just ..."
"Just what, don't think that only you Bayern can defeat the Azore Elves." The Grand Duke scimitar glared at him, obviously not completely forgiving what he had just said: "Don't forget, if we didn't have our Boye cavalry last time With timely support, Eboden City should have fallen! "
Angrily Salika hugged her shoulders, a posture of "you don't believe me".
The dark-haired wizard could only helplessly.
During the conversation between the three, a short horn sounded suddenly on the city wall, and from afar, the soldiers at the gate were busy.
"It should be the Rangers who are in charge of the return. I'll answer it." After that, Dresis bowed to Connor and turned to leave.
As a result, before he left, a soldier dressed as a cavalry hurriedly ran up the city wall and handed him an unsealed parchment letterhead.
Dracis did not dare to be negligent, and did not look directly to Connor.
"this is……"
"The stamp of the church knights ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is Knight Nazer and Earl Seth Braha."
Before waiting for the black-haired wizard to ask for the exit, Connor had already opened his mouth.
The expressions of the three men were dignified at the same time.
"The third day of the march to the Valley of Blood Skeleton ... surprise ... the enemy ambushed in the Icefield Werewolf tribe ... with more than two thousand troops ... in a hurry ... surrounded ... ''
"Our army intends to be detected by the enemy ... the cavalry queue is torn ... the formation collapses ... unable to organize effective ... effective resistance ..."
The intermittent words made Loren's pupils shrink suddenly.
Salika was pale.
"Lord Nazer led the army to break through ... The whereabouts are unknown, and Earl Seth Blaha raised his flag ... Trying to cover roundly ... Encountered siege from both sides ... Defeat ... Ready to withdraw ..."
"Death!"
