In the narrow city of Dingbei, there are no more people coming and going, those clerks, and working slaves at this moment.

Only a few soldiers still marched through the city with torches, and they and the few places in the city that were still bright, showing two long shadows.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince you just mentioned should be referring to the Knight of Emond?"

Knight Jose looked into the distance a little dazedly, but suddenly showed a wry smile.

"I don't know exactly what his name is. But I'm sure he's their family. ”

Vedia frowned in confusion.

The José knight continued: "He is from the House of Prus, there is no doubt about it, from the moment I first saw him, I knew his identity. Only someone from the Pruss family would burn a bun like that......"

At this point, the José knight paused slightly.

"You may think that I am a bit inappropriate to describe the royal family of an empire in this way, but I will say that this ancient family, apart from some decent traditional qualities, has long since degenerated, along with the people of their family. ”

"You mean the 'Reckless Prus' who made his mark at the Abbasquia League?"

"Yes, that's the bastard!"

As he said this, the José knight's breathing became noticeably short, and on his face, helplessness and anger alternated to occupy the dominant position.

"That selfish ghost, the people of their family are born bastards, and they feel that they must be superior to others, just because of their special background......"

"And this is clearly different from the founding philosophy of the empire, which is based on the principle that 'a strong king protects his people, and his people support him as leader.' And not the kind of theory you just spoke. ”

Vidia suddenly looked at the eyes of the José knight, as if he suddenly understood something.

"You wanted to kill him. ”

"Who?"

"Aemond!"

And the José knight turned his face slightly.

Before they knew it, they had once again reached the entrance and exit of the city gate.

After greeting them respectfully, the soldiers opened the door for the two of them.

"Knight, are you leaving Dingbei City now, and I'll send someone to bring your horses now. ”

"No, soldier, we're just walking outside, so we don't have to bother too much. ”

The knight said without changing his face.

The soldier nodded knowingly and stepped back to the sides.

Whether it is a civilian who has just settled in Dingbei City, or a merchant passing by, the 'curfew' system must be strictly followed.

With the exception of knights, in any case, the knights of the empire must serve them as if they were in need.

José and Vidia walked out of the city gates one after the other.

Just like the scenery they had just seen, it was nothing more than a swampy mud ground buried with ice crystals, and after the soldiers had "harvested" some of the crops planted by the Wiegand tribe, it was completely transformed into a lonely city in the wilderness, and at night, even the avenue that communicated with the outside world was a barren landscape.

"I had a plan to kill that little beast of the Pruss. He has completely inherited the most stubborn and rude characteristics of the people in their family, who have no principles in his eyes but victory, and who have no one in his eyes, who act arbitrarily, and who will sooner or later be a scourge in life. ”

"But you changed your mind in the end?"

The knight turned around slowly, the smell of wine on his body gradually emanated, and the cheerful aura on his whole body also dissipated without a trace.

"I'm a knight who has been decorated on the battlefield, and he's just a half-grown hairy kid, not even older than you in my eyes, and he doesn't even have blood on his hands. ”

"In the face of such a person, I am not that despicable family, I can't do it. ”

"And at the same time, you don't want to give the people of the Pruss a chance to betray the momentum of the Empire's Northern Expedition, am I right, father? ”

"Even you know that the people of that family ......"

"When I was in the Abbasquia City League, General Gasyat should not have died for it...... If he were still alive, the battle might not have started at all. ”

After saying these words, the face of the knight Jose showed a somewhat relaxed expression, as if he had been relieved of a great hatred in his heart.

"Some trivial things in the past, I really didn't expect you to have the patience to listen slowly......"

"No, father, far from being boring, I'm even proud of your forbearance. ”

Knight Jose's face suddenly showed a strange expression again.

"Forbearance...... I didn't expect you to have such thoughts when you were in your prime. Forbearance is a compromise with some people and things, but in our lives, we also have to remember to do stupid things that are not so smart a few times once in a while...... You're good at everything, but you're just too smart and observant. ”

Vidia nodded nondeniably.

Regarding Jose Knight's statement, he can only come up with such an attitude of "no support, no opposition".

Knight José gave the young man a meaningful look, and then said in a gentle tone:

"Go back, Duke Cheya must have arranged a living place for us, you are not like me, you are still the time to grow your body, total

Gotta have a good place to rest. ”

At this moment, Vidia suddenly figured out why his father suddenly had such a big change in personality.

Today's Knight Jose, although he still calls himself a veteran of the empire, is no longer the stunned young man who has just come out of the army.

When he was maintaining a security team of about a dozen people, he only needed to impress his subordinates with strict discipline and superb martial arts, and they would be willing to die for him, the knight of José.

But by the time he became the de facto military leader of a city, the burden on his shoulders had gone from the lives and deaths of a dozen people to hundreds or even thousands of people in the entire town.

The change in status inevitably prompted him to change from a simple knight to think more and more from the perspective of a "lord".

From social to life, there are bound to be a lot of changes.

But from the moment the flame that burned in the eyes of the José knight, Vidia had already settled down.

He's still the same man who holds his horse in the town.

Thinking of this, he lay down peacefully on a piece of warm hay that had already been roasted, under the guidance of the duke's servants.

It was a far cry from his home in Valuno, but it was much more reliable than lying in the wagon of a caravan.

He fell asleep.

In his dreams, he became a true knight, commanding thousands of troops and killing enemies himself.

In his sleep, he was dressed in delicate silver-white armor, and even in the middle of the night, his body exuded that silver-white light, and wherever the war horse reached, the enemy fled with his way.

It was his time.

An era of war.

In reality, the armies of the Imperial Front were once again at war with the Wiegand people.

Despite the great success, the Knight of Sword resolutely scrapped the straggler policy and replaced it with his most valuable order as an outpost to clear the way.

And on the night when Vidia was asleep.

Imperial cavalry discovered a Weegand tribal village.

Unexpectedly, the movement speed of the Great Prux Legion increased so suddenly, and the people of this village and town had not even fully moved to those safer areas.

Moreover, for a loose tribal organization such as the Tribal Federation, the accumulation of various contradictions within them was no less than the contradictions with the Great Pruus, which also greatly slowed down the process of war preparations that they could do.

By the time the torch-wielding cavalry entered the village, at least five hundred women and children had not yet moved away, and at least half of the men who had been armed had not woken up.

When the cavalry stepped through the streets of the tribe, the tribesmen could not even organize a force that could resist.

It was another war that ended without beginning, but the end of this war was extinguished with bloodshed.

These knights don't have a seven-trick heart like Duke Cheya, and in their eyes, the life or death of these barbarians of unknown origin has nothing to do with them.

The knight at the head stood in the middle of the village, raised his sword in the air, and gave the order to kill them all.

The education the knights received from an early age determined their choices today.

Under the deliberate cultivation of Gongshan Mountain, they are by no means qualified rulers, just a sword loyal to the empire.

And when this sword hanging high above the empire is put into practice, the only thing it can do is to bring blood to the enemies of the empire.

After receiving the orders of the chief, the knights chanted the names of the empire or their own family titles, and then stood in a row on the narrow roads of the village.

Looking at the houses on both sides, or the naked or ** Wiegand natives who ran out of the caves, they didn't think of these "animals" as a kind of human beings.

They began to steer their horses past the Wiegand as if they were hunting.

The consequences were undeniable, and they were like a red-hot knife cutting through butter.

Although the light and heavy cavalry of the empire only numbered no more than twenty people, they were able to kill thousands of horses on the narrow road.

In the narrow streets, they repeatedly swept across the battlefield, and in each charge, they were able to achieve several times the results of several bodies.

And what about the chieftains? they couldn't even stab the horsemen's hooves, because they were covered with a thin layer of gauze.

When these knights are mechanically killing these natives, they are not or not venting the anger in their hearts.

In the previous skirmish battle, it was really unpleasant that a country boy, an impostor knight who could not even hold a spear, could achieve such a result.

But these self-proclaimed nobles would never do anything "dishonorable" in their eyes, that is, to challenge the earl who had been knighted by the emperor, and all they could do was to achieve greater results on the battlefield to satisfy them.

Soon, more than three hundred men fell behind the pool of blood, and the blood gushing out of the ground from the first warriors who had lost their lives had already congealed into a layer of ice crystals, and the road was no longer suitable for cavalry to pass, so the knights groped their way in the darkness and dismounted.

During the last charge, they could clearly feel the decline in the armed forces on the street, but for safety reasons, they still held their weapons tightly in their hands.

A light cavalry lit a torch at the signal of his knight's master.

The knights were startled by the situation on the road.

More Wiegand stood on top of the dead corpses, and in the darkness their numbers seemed infinitely magnified, and the entire street seemed to have no end in sight.

The knight at the head gasped, marveling at the number of Wiegand men, but he didn't intend to retreat.

"Squires, protect our wings and let us destroy these barbarians once and for all!"

So the six knights stood in a horizontal row, while their twelve squires stood on either side with torches.

If it was really a group of Weegand soldiers standing in front of them, then they would definitely be impressed by the fighting spirit of these Great Prius Knights.

But it was a pity that the night blinded them. Standing in front of them were not warriors, but a large group of almost unarmed women and children.

These Wiegand women usually rely on the leader and their husbands to make decisions, but now that the men are almost all dead, in the swamp of the jungle, the tribe will never survive with only a group of women.

With no hope in their lives, they left their fate to the victors, and most of them shivered in the cold wind and took to the streets.

This is the traditional rule of the Wiegand people, the population of the tribe is a precious wealth, and having more women with better faces is a symbol of a man's status, so even in the Wiegand annexation war, women will always be the ones who survive.

Although most of the men were resolutely opposed to the Great Prussians, these women really liked the products "shipped" by the merchants of the Great Prussia.

At least in their eyes, the Great Prus should be a cultured and rich tribe.

Everyone
