In the darkness of the night, Duke was still thinking about Vlavic's procrastination trick on his horse, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would need to implement it himself.

Now he was carrying a revolver-type magic rifle taken out of the arsenal on his back, riding a war horse and wearing a cloak, and he also had the demeanor of a general against the backdrop of torches.

As for why Duke, as a magician, would bring a magic rifle to participate in the operation, in the final analysis, as a mage, his strength is relatively low, and he can't guarantee his own safety, and he can't form an effective offensive, so it's better to take a gun and provide fire support from afar.

Moreover, being able to have a real rifle that can be used is also one of the dreams of many young people like Duke in the new century.

"I say......" said Agnes, who was swinging around on his horse behind Duke, "and you're going to pull us up from the bed for this?"

You think I'm happy to do it?

Duke whispered in his heart, and then said with a smile: "I heard that the homeless people in the mountains are grateful for the mercy of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, so I specially invite you to come and visit with me. ”

"I don't need to tell you this, I know this!" Agnes raised her head a little proudly, and then she was a little discouraged, "But you don't have to choose a night time, right?

"All you need is to show up, don't think too much. ”

This unfortunate saint still wants to perform a prayer ceremony on the mountain, regardless of the time issue, even the funding of this project Duke is impossible to help her realize.

"...... like this"

Agnes sighed, and her enthusiasm visibly subsided, and she lay on her horse's back like a salted fish, not driving her horse any faster, but leisurely following Duke's ass.

After a while, even the figure was blurred in the night.

This woman......

Seeing that Agnes was so decadent, Duke was a little skeptical that such a saint could gain so much fame on the entire continent, even if she claimed to be the originator of the mainland's self-marketing, Duke would believe it, after all, even the homeless people in the remote mountains of the north knew some of her reputation.

"Lord, how will we hand over and protect the homeless people later?"

At this time, Lenia, who was dressed neatly, immediately drove forward to ask Duke about some specific arrangements after meeting the homeless people in the future.

"You don't have to hand over much, just protect everyone in the inner circle. Duke hesitated for a moment and replied, "Although Kino said that the outcasts also have their own weapons, I have some doubts about their ability, so let's protect them as ordinary outcasts." ”

"Displaced people?"

"Well, it's just some militia, so you don't need to worry too much about it. ”

Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for displaced people to form settlements and settle down, and it is sometimes impossible for displaced people to develop their own armed forces in this way.

If the moral character of the leaders of these people is a little more corrupt, the camps of these homeless people are proper bandit camps and bandit villages.

Fortunately, Duke had asked Keno about the basic situation of these people before, and Keno also patted his chest to ensure that Randy's character was absolutely first-class, and the leaders on the mountain had never had the idea of blocking the road and robbing them, and it was even more impossible to put them into practice.

Therefore, Duke is still more comfortable with these militias and other weapons for the time being.

"Lord, there's a fire ahead!"

As the team marched, a sharp-eyed guard spotted a few flashes of fire moving rapidly in the distance, and immediately raised his magic rifle and aimed it in that direction.

Looking at the fire signal in front of him in a specific form, Duke had already understood that this was the signal agreed between himself and Keno, so he stopped it loudly: "Don't be nervous, it's your own person!"

As soon as the words fell, the figure holding the torch in the distance had already appeared in the darkness, it was Keno who had gone and returned, and a strange young and majestic man he had brought with him.

"Lord Duke, I have already consulted with the chief, and he has now organized the people of the mountains. ”

As soon as he ran to Duke's horse, Kino naturally knelt down and told Duke of the outcome of his trip, while the man he brought with him glanced at him with disgust and did not make any other moves.

"Good!" Duke complimented, then motioned with some confusion to Keno to introduce the young man he had brought, "Who is this?"

Although the young man did not feel any signs of magic fluctuations or vindictive energy on his body, his strong physique and faint momentum made Duke understand that this person was not to be underestimated, and maybe even in the main position of giving orders from time to time.

In fact, Duke already had some conjectures about his identity, because according to the character of the leader described by Keno, it seemed very appropriate for him to choose to run by himself in order to truly confirm the truth of the matter.

Sure enough, after a little hesitation, Kino introduced, "This is my son-in-law Randy, who is also the leader of the exile camp, and he said that he wants to confirm some things with you first. ”

"Confirm something, like what?"

"You're Duke Duke?"

As soon as Duke's words fell, the young leader named Randy directly tilted his head and looked at Duke who was sitting on the horse and asked, which made Lenia behind him frown slightly, and his heart was not very comfortable.

Such an act would be a bit rude to ordinary civilians, not to mention that Duke was a duke of high status.

It's just that Duke doesn't care about this, on the contrary, he admires such a personality, such a person is almost extinct in this world, and this is the first Duke has seen in so long.

"I am, you're Randy?"

"It's a fake, and it's been introduced just now. Randy waved his hand impatiently to answer Duke's question, only to feel that the young noble lord in front of him was a little long-winded, "I want to meet Her Highness." ”

Speaking of meeting Her Highness, Randy's attitude was finally a little more humble, and he almost completely lost his arrogance when facing Duke, and became as docile as a lamb.

Such a change made Duke dumbfounded, it turned out that he was really not a little less influential than the unlucky saint.

"Her Highness the Holy Maiden, she ......"

"I'm here, I'm here, who's going to see me?"

Originally, Duke wanted to say that His Royal Highness you wanted to see the Holy Maiden is still dozing off at the back of the line, and she may not see her for a while.

Unexpectedly, this Agnes could hear someone looking for her from such a distance, so she immediately rode over on horseback, and arranged her god's robe to look like a dog, and her face was full of divine aura.

"Ah, it is indeed Your Highness, lost lambs who wish to be guided by your light!"

Seeing Agnes like this, Randy, who was still admired by Duke, knelt straight down under Duke's shocked gaze.
