Vol 5 Chapter 1: The galloping horses (1)

Along the plain road of the Principality of Byrne all the way to the east, passing through the Storm Fortress and Lake City, standing on the top of the tower of the Fortress of the Bossival family, you can see a country that is completely different from the home of the Knights.
Poi.
In the ancient "Boi language" (if there is such a language), this word actually means "horse horse".
The reason why there is such a name is completely a lie of the Bayern people. When the first Bayern lord came to this land on foot, he asked a knight for directions, but the knight mistakenly thought that the old man thought Know what your mount is.
Since then, these "back horses" living in the Great Green Sea have their own titles.
The name of the "old man" is Anton Varna, and his descendants and families are now the owners of Poi.
Since ancient times, the history of the two ancient kingdoms of Poy and Byrne is inseparable. Both sides have the heritage and descendants of the other's ancient bloodline; even the Bain people believe that Byrne's horses come from this ancient great green sea.
This ancient land gave birth to a group of extremely powerful and unruly horseback people, waving their sabers and bows and arrows to declare their ownership of the entire Great Green Sea;
The people here have no interest in farming and farming. Sheep and horses are all their wealth. Then they use their sabers to harvest their crops and believe in winning over troughs.
The people here have paid more attention to the oath than the Bayerns-since the beginning of the second generation, they have always kept their ancestors ’commitment to the Sakran people, guarding the East Gate for the empire, and wielding the sabers without crossing the Poi border step;
In the more distant era of the ancient kingdom, when the dwarf's heavy armor invaded Byrne from between the mountains and rivers, the Boe horses gathered under a flag without hesitation, rushing into the dwarf's square like a torrent , Just to thank the Bayerns for their helping hand in the Centaur War.
Blood thicker than water is not enough to describe the close connection between Byrne and Poi, and it is for this reason that after the invasion, the first time the Boyi thought was not an empire, but the Bayern next door.
No one knows whether the empire will send rescuers, but the Bayerns will definitely come-this idea seems to have become a natural and righteous thing in the minds of the Boi people.
Even if they knew that Byrne no longer had his own duke, he still wrote the letter of help.
Is it really out of natural boldness and simplicity, using the situation in front of us to fight for the opportunity for reunification of Baine; or is it intentionally done for another purpose?
Loren riding on his horse's head slightly raised his head, looking at the endless grasslands a little fascinated.
The golden sun hung in the center of the dome, under the blue sky and white clouds, a long column of platoons lined up in a long journey, and the smoke was rolling slowly.
This is a very large team; rangers from the Eastern Cavaliers headed by Lookout Peak, orderly guarding the sides and rear of the queue, and sending scouts to the distance;
Waving two-handed swords, approving all-armored Southern Infantry Knights, and the fierce and rude guards of the mountains and rocks guarding the Chinese army together;
The Red Blood Castle knights and the heavy knights in the north were at the forefront of the queue-the huge queue and countless flags passed slowly through the boundless grassland, except for the heavy pace and rut, it was as quiet as Sneaking beast.
"Are you thinking, Duke?"
The man who spoke was Earl Eckert of the Fury Castle, silently riding a horse and following Loren ’s side; followed by the disobedient Count Bossier and the more disobedient Earl Angert .
Ain Rand, who refused to stay in the Red Blood Castle, led a group of alchemists from the Wizarding Association to join the army.
After a break from the Lookout Peak, the army of Byrne on the north finally stepped into the territory of the Principality of Boe; without exception, they would be able to merge with the Hussars of the Archduke of Varna in three days ... or the Centaur invaded Army.
For the purpose of the United Roundtable Parliament, and also to better control this knightly corps; after a series of careful discussions, Loren chose Count Tris Ector of Fury Castle as his deputy, which is also a substantial corps commander.
This is also a last resort. Loren never had the experience of commanding thousands or even tens of thousands of people. The only time he served as a commander was in the ancient wood forest. Of course, a "expeditionary army" of more than a hundred people is certainly impossible. On par with the entire legion.
What's more, if he wants to instruct the legion, he must also rely on the support of the Round Table Council-and Earl Eckert, who is experienced in war and prestigious among the Knights of Byrne, has become Loren's first choice.
More importantly, Earl Eckert of the Fury Castle is also the only lord among the thirteen of Baine who unconditionally supports the Turin family.
From assembling the legion and preparing for the heavy load, to determining the marching route and queue configuration; this always silent leader of the Fortress of Fury proved by action that Loren was trustworthy.
"It's okay, just suddenly a little curious." Loren shrugged lightly, with a very relaxed smile:
"I have heard the story of Brandon I, the sage, and the Duke of Poi recorded there is the Jonah family. Why has this generation become the Varna family again?"
"That's because you don't know much about the history of the Boi people ... Of course, this is not to blame you." Earl Eckert readily said: "Even if Boi is an exception in the entire empire, they are not family heritage or Referral, but a 'rotation' system. "
"Rotation?"
"To put it more vividly, the two families take turns in succession-divided by a thousand-account city, the east is the big Boyi family of the Jonah family, and the west is the little Boyi family of the Varna family, and they do not violate each other's territory. ; Which side is in turn to inherit the Thousand Account City, and which side is the Lord of Poi, the Grand Duke of the Empire. "
Earl Eckert continued to say in a deep voice: "Under this system, the small Boye territory in the west is somewhat similar to our Byrne. The Varna family even began to divide the grassland and land to the side branch of the family to form a smaller council;
The Jonah family in the eastern Great Poi maintains the ancient tradition of the Poi people, living on the grasses, fishing and hunting to maintain their livelihoods, but occasionally crossing the plains settlements of the dwarves across the border-the Duke of Bayin often used to replace both sides. Mediate for this matter. "
Speaking of which, even Earl Eckert shook his head helplessly: "Of course, this generation of the Varna family is relatively strong, and Laszlo Varna has served as the three generations of Grand Duke Poi, to a certain extent, also guaranteed the wave Stability in Iraq. "
"So, one is the traditional Poi, and the other is the" Baiinized "Poi?" The little wizard beside asked suddenly.
"Baiinized Poe ... an interesting saying." Earl Eckert chuckled. "It would be better to say that one is a" Boyed "Byrne, and the other is a" Byrne-like "Poy. "
"The Varna family was born in Bain, but their bones have been thoroughly boiled; and in terms of adherence to tradition and conservatism, the Jonah family is even more stubborn than some Bain people!"
"In other words, for our support army ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the Varna family may be more welcome, but the Jonah family may be more exclusive?" Loren tentatively said.
The slightly frowned Earl Eckert paused and looked at Loren with a complex expression:
"Yes ... no."
Loren and Ain raised their eyebrows at the same time.
"It is true that as you said, the little boy who is more similar in customs to the Bayern may be more friendly to us, and the old big boy will be more repulsive to outsiders, but ..."
Earl Eckert sighed: "Duke Laszlo Varna, he ... is a bad person."
"Not easy to get along with, you call that old thing not easy to get along with?"
The sneered Earl Angut suddenly approached and glanced at Loren with a somewhat disapproving glance: "Boy, remember how I greeted you that day at the Roundtable?"
"When we see the old thing, if he dares to blow his wings, you will put the sword on his neck-the rest, we will clean up for you!"
