Chapter 136: Bread Terminator
Two days later, William, who liked to mention the girl's heartfelt two-piece suit, finally returned to the royal army's station.
However, not only did no one come to greet him, but even the wooden walls were mostly torn down, and there was not even a single patrol at the gate of the huge camp, leaving only an empty tent.
The breeze swept through the fallen leaves, and William felt as if he had been abandoned.
He led his horse into the deserted garrison, and found that there was not a single army left, but when he came to the door of the queen's tent, he faintly smelled the smell of roasted meat.
The corners of William's mouth twitched, it turned out that there were still people, but who was so talented that he actually lit a fire in the camp tent and barbecued meat? Even if you are not afraid of smoking yourself to death, aren't you too hot?
He cautiously lifted the curtain and walked inside, and sure enough, Avril Lavigne's tent was as hot as a steamer.
A sweaty young knight was blowing desperately by the fire, on which were two branches dressed in meat, and he had made the smell of roasted meat that William had asked.
"Lord Commander!"
When he saw that it was William, the young knight stood up with a look of surprise on his face, and grinned to reveal a row of small white teeth, which were already dark and covered with soot, which made them even shinier.
Huh, call me the Commander-in-Chief, that is...... This fool is actually a member of the (pseudo) Knights of the Royal Capital?
The young knight did not know that William saw through his "reality" at a glance, and after a knightly salute, he said eagerly:
"An emergency has arisen since your departure, and I have been ordered by Her Majesty the Queen to remain here and wait for you to return, and to show you the way.
On the night of your departure, the Farrell family sent people to attack the royal capital and surrounded the Farrell family in the palace, so the Farrell family asked Her Majesty the Queen for help, hoping that Her Majesty could help the Farrell family to defeat the Farrell family......"
William gave up studying the incoherent report, and instead silently opened the man's attributes panel to take a look.
[Spirit: 4]
Oh...... I seem to remember, it turned out to be you, that's fine.
William sighed and waved his hand to signal him to stop first and stop wasting his saliva in vain.
"Has Her Majesty left me anything?"
"Oh, yes, yes!" said the young knight, fumbling around himself for a while, and flipped out a few folded pieces of paper and handed them over.
William glanced at it hastily and saw that it was a letter and a hand-drawn map, and set the map aside, he casually unfolded the letter and read it.
After reading Avril's letter at a glance, William couldn't help but suddenly realize.
It turned out that Leonard was starting to make trouble again.
After killing his brother and dad and successfully ascending to the throne, Leonard, who usually only knows how to spend a lot of money, actually showed amazing skills.
Contrary to the chaos that everyone expected, it took him only two months to suppress all the opposition, not only quickly taking over all the inheritance of the Farrell family, but also quietly gaining the support of a group of nobles, and initially taking control of the two principalities that had been defeated by the Farrell family.
It stands to reason that the next thing to do is to work steadily, gradually clean up the internal discord, and completely sit firmly in the current position, but Leonard's choice caught everyone off guard.
Not only did he brazenly send troops in the face of internal instability, but he also unexpectedly chose to fight on two fronts, constantly harassing the Grand Duke of the North on the surface, and colluding with the barbarians on the grassland.
actually played back behind his back, turned around and took a big bite on Jessica's territory, and simply broke the royal capital.
If it weren't for Peter and his father, his father's father, and his father's father who built the palace strong enough, Jessica would have been cold by this time.
William put away the letter, and by the way, he lit a lantern for the female knight in his heart.
Alas...... I have long known that this will be the case, Jessica is a good general who charges into battle and commands the battle, but she is not a good marshal who can strategize, with Jessica's brain, isn't it a food delivery when she meets Leonard.
Unfolding the barbecue-scented map, William carefully studied the current situation.
Although the plots drawn on the map are not very accurate, the general shape is quite standard, and each part is carefully marked with small characters, and the font looks pleasing to the eye, which should be written by Her Majesty the Queen herself.
On this hand-drawn flange map, Leonard occupies the largest area of territory, and the whole appears to be an irregular rectangle. Her Majesty the Queen blacked out all the places occupied by the Farrell family, and the large expanse of black took up more than a third of the map.
In contrast, the territory of the Grand Duke of the North is a little smaller, but it is quite narrow and long, bordering the territory of the royal army and the Farrell family, and the castle and defenses are arranged in the north, which may be pierced in the face of internal attacks.
The territory of the royal family of France was divided in two, bounded by the royal capital, and the part south to the border with the Holy Empire was still under Avril's control, marked by Avril in pale green ink. The part further north was originally in Jessica's hands, but now it's all black, apparently in Leonard's possession, as for Jessica......
Sorry, the little red dot in the middle that is less than a millimeter in diameter is all of her territory.
Her Majesty the Queen should have poked the tip of the pen with the tip of the pen very carefully when smearing Jessica's position, but it still seemed to be a little too big, and it seemed that a lot of it had been erased with a handkerchief, so that it could barely be applied accurately.
If it weren't for William's reading Avril Lavigne's letter and knowing that she was trapped in the royal capital, I'm afraid he would have to look for a while to find out where she was.
Picking up the map, William sighed sincerely, so people really have to be self-aware!
Three months ago, the female knight had sworn to dominate the flanges, but three months later she had her home stolen.
The worst thing is that not only was his home stolen, but he was also pushed into the toilet by thieves and squatted with his head in his hands, and he didn't dare to fight back when he saw others eating and drinking in his own home, so he could only call out to neighbors who were not very good to help.
Shame on the real Gil!
After complaining about the unreliability of the female knight, William turned over and got on his horse.
From the current position to the royal capital, it will take about three days to ride a horse, and the royal army will bring a lot of food and baggage, and the speed will only be slower than itself, and if you set off now, you should be able to catch up.
At this moment the young knight kicked away the fire, reluctantly took the skewers from the shelf, and hesitated to ask:
"My meat is all baked, why don't we eat it before we leave!"
William, who had been on the road for two days, also nibbled on dry food for two days, and now he really wanted to eat a mouthful of hot food, so he nodded and said:
"Then take it, ride slowly first, and eat as you go. ”
"Howler. ”
The young knight excitedly climbed onto his horse, took two branches, and first bit it himself, and then handed William a string.
William took it, but unexpectedly received a system prompt.
【Delicious kebabs cooked with care】
[Stamina +1 (Temporary)]
[Ordinary barbecue, ordinary branches, ordinary bonfires, plus a little talent and dedication to deliciousness, create this unusual kebab]
it? can already make attributed food?
Taking a hard bite of the juicy skewers, William nodded in satisfaction and patted the young knight on the shoulder.
"You're too condescending to be a knight, so let's be a cook in the future. ”
......
"I don't want a cook!"
Jessica pushed away the black bread that the little girl was holding in both hands, and covered her head with a headache.
"And how many times have I said that I don't eat this. ”
The little girl in the white dress took a step back timidly. "You...... You say that the Farrell family doesn't want waste...... But my mom only taught me to do this ......"
The knightess slammed the table. "I didn't mean that, and besides, do you know what you've inherited? It's the legacy of a false god! Now you're a genius, don't you understand?"
The little girl was startled by the anger on her face, stumbled back, and replied with a pale face: "You are right, I am a genius, so you ...... Would you like to take a bite of the bread I made?"
Jessica was so angry that her long legs were twisted and twisted, but there was still nothing she could do with this difficult little girl.
When she was in the royal capital, she noticed that something was wrong with this little girl from Anderson's family.
Obviously just a little girl who can pick it up, but both speed and strength are amazingly strong, not only can she keep up with her own movements, but her two thin little arms are like iron tongs, and she can't move twice by grabbing herself.
After parting ways with William, she returned to the royal capital and began to collect people who had accepted the "legacy" of the false gods, preparing to spend a few years training them as professionals and forming a new army based on these people.
The little girl named Daisy in front of her was one of the biggest surprises, her home was in the alley next to the central square of the royal capital, and the [Bone Fountain] happened to open at the door of her house.
An old man who lived nearby said that Daisy was sitting in front of her house munching on black bread, and that she should be the closest person to the false god except for a black-robed woman who was strolling around the square.
As for the black-robed woman, maybe because she was too close, she was probably crushed to death by the bones gushing out of the [Fountain of Bones], but no one had seen her anyway.
As a "lucky person" who had close contact with the fall of the pseudo-god, and was almost killed by the ruins of the fallen god, Daisy received an extremely rich gift, although she did not gain knowledge related to the sequence, but her physical fitness has increased amazingly.
Under Jessica's coercion, the little girl completed a series of physical fitness tests tremblingly.
The test results were quite amazing, although Daisy's physique was quite weak, her strength and speed had reached the standard of a third-order professional, as long as she trained a little, it was almost a sure thing to become a professional, and she could even grow into an excellent instant combat force very quickly.
The biggest problem, however, is that she's too timid.
The high-pressure life of an illegitimate daughter in an aristocratic family caused her to be amazingly timid, and she trembled when she was shouted, and when she saw the tall war horse for the first time, she was so frightened that she almost fainted directly. Not to mention weapons or something, I'll close my eyes in fear when I see a kitchen knife.
At Jessica's command, she reluctantly stepped onto her horse and took up her sword, but she trembled like chaff to stab her horse to death, and she could not run far before she fell straight from her horse.
After more than a month of tossing, Daisy's training still made no progress, and every time she saw someone raise her hand, she would still subconsciously close her eyes, unable to carry out even the most basic combat training.
The only thing that made her progress was that she had gotten along with the horse, and even occasionally stole beans and oats from the kitchen, sneaked into the stables in the middle of the night to feed them, and sometimes slept there with her foal in her arms.
This little girl's biggest dream is to be a cook in a noble family, like her mother, hide in the kitchen every day to cook all kinds of bread, and then pick up some bread crumbs and expired bacon every day to take home.
Jessica tried her best, except for putting a knife on her neck, she used almost every trick, but she still couldn't change her mind, as long as she couldn't find her, she must have peeked at someone else making bread in the kitchen.
After several tosses, Jessica finally gave up the idea of cultivating her completely, but the little girl who got free began to feel uneasy.
Why doesn't Lord Jessica stop "torturing" herself, doesn't she feel that she is useless and wants to get rid of herself?
Afraid of being driven away, she began to work hard in her own way, but the only thing she knew was to make bread, so Daisy would bring her own brown bread every once in a while, hoping that Jessica would have a bite.
In the face of these "delicious" black bread mixed with bran and sawdust, the pampered female knight really couldn't swallow a mouthful, but the more she refused, the more uneasy the little girl became, and finally one day, Jessica, who couldn't bear it, scolded her fiercely.
As a result, the little girl who was scolded miserably was very happy, and even did not continue to deliver bread for several days.
According to the life experience she summed up, those who will be scolded will not be driven away, and most of them will be able to stay.
It's a pity that it didn't take long for the two of them to be pure, and Leonard began to make trouble.
In just three days, Jessica's territory from the Francois royal family was swallowed up, and his men were either killed or rebelled, without even giving time to react, and most of the territory was directly lost.
The female knight hurriedly gathered her forces to meet them, and although she won two small battles, she still lost completely, and there was nothing left but a royal capital.
After retreating to the royal capital for a day, Leonard's army broke the royal capital, and Jessica was left with a lonely palace and thousands of remnants of the defeated army.
Daisy didn't know anything about these things, but she was happier than before, and when she saw that Master Jessica, who had "gone away", "went home", she hurriedly made her own unique black bread and brought it to her.
The little girl who had been scolded again fled with the bread in a hurry, and after taking a breath, she quietly lowered her head, took a big bite on the hard and firm black bread, and after softening with the saliva, she chewed happily.
Master Jessica is fierce, but she is actually a good person, not only does she arrange work for her mother, but she also allows herself to go to the stable to see the foals, but unfortunately she doesn't seem to like to eat brown bread, how can anyone not like to eat brown bread?
Next time I'll add a little stone to the bread, it's sure to be more generous than before, and Lord Jessica will love it.
The little girl thought to herself, and then she slammed into a tall man, and the black bread on the plate rolled twice, and fell to the ground with a thud, smashing up a large cloud of smoke.
"No !!"
