(Thank you for the tip!Long time no see!Happy holidays!)

Two days later, Brent inspected the main battlefield of his own choosing.

The last stop was the most important of the spell positions, and despite trusting his cousin from the North, Brent habitually asked.

"Are you all set? Charlotte. ”

"Don't worry, no matter how subtle the node, I have personally inspected it, and yesterday I also asked the mage group to jointly rehearse the spell position with me, and the process of the drill went smoothly. ”

"That's good, thank you, Charlotte. He tapped Charlotte on the shoulder and looked back at Edie.

The Royal Knights of Erosa, who had been whispering about his arrival, immediately fell silent, and Edie, as the commander, glanced at Brent and gave a military salute to the latter.

"I'm sorry, Viscount Edie. Brent rolled over and dismounted, bowing slightly to Edie, "I know my decision seems ridiculous, if there is anything wrong with you, please don't take it to heart." However, I still hope that you and your knights will do your best to help me defend the front, and the key to this war is your and Charlotte's performance. So, it's all up to you!"

Edie glanced at Charlotte behind him and nodded, "Don't worry, Grand Duke." Even if it is to protect the Earl of Winterhold behind us, we will be 200% spirited. ”

There seemed to be a hint of displeasure in Edie's words, but Brent nodded in satisfaction. Similar to Truman's idea, Brent wanted victory, but only victory!

Seeing that the atmosphere was delicate, Charlotte changed the subject at the right time, "But do you really plan to go in person?" Losente can't afford to lose another king. ”

"There's a risk in everything you do, isn't it? In fact, if I don't go, the risk gets even bigger. We must seize the initiative in this war, and Truman has not been idle for the past two days, he has searched along the upper reaches of the Tria, apparently fearing that we will intercept the river and divert the flood. ”

"Then he was really cautious, but unfortunately he thought about it. ”

"I don't care if I think about it or not. Brent winked at Charlotte, "But at least, they decided to wade across the river from that shoal, just as I expected." Guess who their vanguard will be?"

At this point, Edie interjected with determination, "Helrington!

"I think so too. Brent laughed.

"You're saying that Helrington, who was appointed as a Vanguard, would have feelings toward Truman?" asked Charlotte.

"I don't know, it's supposed to be like that. But the guy in Herrington, as far as I know, is quite different. ”

"Different?" Charlotte frowned in confusion.

At this point, Edie replied, "He used to be a street thug! No, maybe that's not right, the thugs still promoted him, to be precise, he was a hungry little beggar who would steal something to eat!"

It seems that Helrington's experience with his god-like identity resonated with him, and Brent, who had also read Helrington's detailed information, gave the opportunity to explain to Edie and watched him talk.

"It is said that one winter, when he was dying of starvation, the priest of a temple of tyranny gave him a steamed bun and then mercifully adopted him. ”

Speaking of which, Edie saw both of them pouting at the same time.

"The priest of the Temple of Tyranny would give a little beggar a steamed bun with a history of theft?

"Who knows what the priest thinks, maybe he doesn't know about Harrington's past, but it has become one of the few stains on Harrington. Edie raised an eyebrow, "Later, there was a time when the local underground instigated a revolt among the poor, and the priest who adopted him died in the process of cooperating with the local lord's suppression. After that, Helrington became an executioner with a twisted personality on the battlefield, always fighting on the front line in every battle. ”

"One of the few stains, a twisted personality on the battlefield?" Charlotte clearly grasped the key point.

"I'll tell you. Brent explained, "As Edie said. Despite the infamy of the deceased, to be honest, it's hard to find a stain on Hellington in the information we've gathered. In addition to ordering the massacre of civilians on and off the battlefield, in his private life, he had no history of corruption and bribery, no rumors of bullying, and no revenge on political opponents. In addition to being a little irritable, he was much more decent than most nobles and clergy. ”

"Isn't it too much to order the massacre of civilians?" Charlotte disagreed.

"If you count the events of the battlefield...... "Bront smiled noncommittally, "then his crimes are too numerous to mention." ”

So, if those resumes of his are not whitewashed with Spring and Autumn brushwork. Edie concluded, "There's a real chance that guy wouldn't hold a grudge against Truman for the Vanguard thing." ”

"It's even possible that he took the initiative to ask for help!" Brent continued, but his expression was extra relaxed, "but it doesn't matter, it would be a surprise if I could provoke their resentment, but all I want is for them to take the initiative." And to be honest, even if they want to run in as much as possible, I will always find flaws in their personalities. ”

"Since you have a bamboo in your chest, then I am also relieved. Charlotte nodded, "I'll ask you one last time, do you really plan to go in person?"

"When did you get so much nonsense?"

Brent turned on his horse, followed by Edie also putting on his helmet and sitting on his horse with Charlotte.

The former winked at Charlotte and smiled, "I'm not alone, you see, aren't there still the two of you?

"No!" Edie corrected with a blank look, "The best knight of the young generation in the North is Her Royal Highness the Silver Dragon Princess, and I'm far from qualified. ”

"Because of the reputation of my tsundere sister, I won't make any hypocritical flattery to you here. ”

Charlotte grinned, and Edie let out a muffled snort from under her helmet.

The three of them led a combined knightly guard composed of more than 60 Elrosa and Rosente, with a thousand elite light horses, and began to set off to the east.

Along the way, they passed through the plains and the narrow strip of land that could easily be ambushed, and came to a shoal suitable for crossing the river.

Brent was reining in on the west bank of the Tria, and he raised his horsewhip and pointed to the other side, and asked Charlotte and Edie, "Both, do you think Truman and Helrington will set up an ambush on the other side of the river?"

Edie frowned and nodded, "If it were me, I would!"

"But I dare to assert that, with Truman's character, he would not have wasted that energy on arranging thousands, or even tens of thousands, of ambush troops, but only to destroy this thousand powerful light horsemen. Brent asserted.

"But these 1,000 light horsemen are one of our few elite forces. Edie retorted.

"But if it costs thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and you have to lay in an ambush for an unknown amount of time, and how much physical strength and morale are wasted to encircle and suppress it, then the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"So you think there are no ambushes?" asked Charlotte.

"No, on the contrary, I think there must be an ambush, but it was set up by the arrogant Helrington!" Brent smiled, like a hunter battling the beast, "and that's exactly what I want!"

He looked at Charlotte and Edie, "So, are you ready for a crushing defeat?"
