Chapter 12: Night Raid?
"You don't look very happy, my lovely sister, who you off?"
As soon as you pass through the Calvi Grand Canyon, the sky clears. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The team chose a flat area near the water to set up camp, and Charlotte sat on an oval-shaped stone block and threw the dead branch in her hand into the campfire.
The dead branches beeped, and the burning flames warmed the air, turning the snow on the flat ground into a clear lake.
"Are you still worried about the words of the knight of the family?" Charlotte asked, turning her head.
Beside him, Vivien Leigh was eating the biscuits in her snack box, her cheeks flushed by the campfire, and she stared at the boar on the campfire with that indignant look.
"Or did the poor boar offend you?" asked Charlotte, who had not received an answer.
"No!" Vivien Leigh was depressed, "Charlotte, you haven't been in Erosa all these years, so you don't know how dangerous the minds of the principality are now. You know? Almost all of them are hungry for merit and wealth, and the barbarians of the north are no longer able to fill their hearts. ”
Claire, who was sitting across from her, looked up, and he glanced at Charlotte, almost simultaneously sensing the meaning of Vivien Leigh's words.
In the end, Charlotte cautiously asked, "That is, they want to provoke a civil war?"
Vivien Leigh nodded, "That's why the nobles are dissatisfied with Brother Aven, they feel that an overly gentle Grand Duke can't meet their needs. ”
She looked at Charlotte's eyes flickering with the reflection of the campfire, "You know what? They think that a naughty and mischievous prince may be more in line with their needs!"
Charlotte smiled in amazement, and spread his hands, "Come on, I'm not interested in being the king of the empire, and whoever wants to do that position has a lot to do!
"Well, my father thought it was a great opportunity to test my brother's rule, and besides, my father didn't seem to be at ease with it, and he had to ensure the safety of his heir. "Vivien Leigh picked up a pebble and threw it into the campfire," said Father, who had received news that His Majesty's death seemed unusual. If that were the case, I fear that civil war would not be avoided. ”
She was still very uneasy, Charlotte was speechless, she could only comfort dryly, "All in all, don't think too much! It doesn't matter what those scum in the duchy think, the key is what my father thinks, you know, no one in Erosa dares to question his authority!"
Vivien Leigh threw another stone into the campfire, and with a half-bang, she said quietly, "That's what I'm worried about." This afternoon, I tried to ask him what he thought, but his answer was too much to believe. Obviously...... I'm worried that my father is also spying on that throne......"
"And if that day does come, what shall I choose?" Fivien Leigh held the holy sword resting aside, she closed her eyes reverently, "When I pulled out the unrepentant streamer, I swore to protect the weak, treat my fellow citizens well, and drive out the evil......!
The warm palm gently patted her head, and Vivien Leigh looked at Charlotte in amazement.
"If you really don't want to make a painful choice, then come to Icewind Castle!" Charlotte looked at her sister firmly, "I will protect the oath you made!"
"Me too!" Claire's emerald green pupils also shone with determination.
The seductive flush made the girl look even more charming, and Vivien Leigh tilted her head, blinking the swaying water in her pupils, and a happy smile bloomed on her beautiful face.
"Hmm!"
She nodded heavily!
At this moment, chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded in the camp, and a knight of the family hurriedly put on his armor and ran south.
Charlotte got up and grabbed him, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
The knight immediately slapped his right fist on the chest and gave the standard Erosa military salute, "Your Highness Charlotte!
When he saw Fei Wenli lifting the holy sword beside him, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Royal Highness Princess, please wait! I don't think we need your own action, maybe it's just a noble private soldier chasing the fugitives, as long as we show the flag......"
"There is no such thing as a maybe, knight!"
Vivien Leigh, who was in a good mood, lifted the holy sword, and she took the lead, and methodical orders came from her mouth one by one, "Order the knights to dismount and form a defensive phalanx, and the crossbowmen to line up." In addition, please ask the knight chief to personally protect the women and children in the camp!"
"Who's going to command the front?" As soon as the words came out, the knight knew that he had asked a stupid question.
Sure enough, Fei Wenli turned back proudly, "When the Grand Duke did not appear on the front line, I was your supreme commander!"
"Yes! General!"
As Charlotte and Claire stood in the phalanx, a few figures appeared in front of them.
As soon as Charlotte was about to cast a spell, behind him, two bright but not dazzling balls of light staggered into the air, illuminating everything within a radius of hundreds of meters.
He looked back and saw Lolita patting her barren chest proudly, while Vivien had her head down and a shy expression. Behind the two Lori mages, Dinah, dressed in crooked mage robes, yawned and staggered forward, Claire's disciple Leonard cautiously following her.
"I heard that there are guys who don't have long eyes who want to attack us?" the sleepy-eyed Dinah seemed to be a little angry about getting up, and her childish face that could not see her age was full of strong dissatisfaction, "Hmph! I'll let these dream-disturbing creatures know what happened to you!"
"No! Charlotte hurriedly waved her hand, "I don't think we need our second adult to do anything about trivial matters, what you have to do now is to go back to the tent and continue to sleep beautifully!"
He didn't want things to get out of the way.
"That's right!
Charlotte's arms squirmed, and a moment later, El, who had not appeared for a long time in a burst of silver light, triumphantly sat on Charlotte's shoulder.
"Dinah, you just go back to hibernation, isn't the season a good time to hibernate now?"
Dinah glared at Elle with disdain, "Only you need to hibernate!
"W-What! How dare you say I'm a plague chicken?!" Elle pointed to her nose in disbelief, "You hundred-year-old Lori, don't you know that hibernation is a great ritual that all living things must perform?"
"I don't want to be told that by you, a thousand-year-old girl!!" Dinah crossed her waist, and the words burst out like a machine gun.
"In which book do you see all the creatures that need to hibernate ?Don't make excuses for your laziness!You stupid book that pops up at the smell of crepes and chaos! Maybe you should go to the abyss, it's more suitable for you guy who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"
"You, you, you...... It's slander!" Elle rolled over Charlotte's shoulders and splattered, "Damn, hateful, hateful! I'll bite you to death—"
"Ahh
Vivien Leigh couldn't help but grunt, noticing the knights' black-lined expressions, she coughed lightly, forcing herself into a tense atmosphere.
"Crossbowmen are wound, knights in the front row raise their shields!" she commanded aloud as she looked at the thugs in front of her, clad in tattered leather armor and armed with inferior weapons.
"The team in front of you immediately detoured, and you are about to collide with the temporary palace of the two kings of the northern realm!
For a moment, the thugs looked desperate.
Some of them fled on both sides, others rushed forward like stunned flies, but many more sat on the ground in despair and wept.
Behind them, a well-armored army approached the flatland.
