As stated in Book III, there are generally three routes from Erosa to the Imperial Center. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For this trip, Charlotte and her party chose the Calvi Grand Canyon, the most convenient and dangerous place on land.

Of course, the most dangerous canyon for ordinary merchants is an endless road for them.

Along the way, several groups of bandits sneaked up on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon to check on the team, but soon they were gone.

Unless they are crazy, they will not provoke this team that is very elite at first glance.

But one of the sneaky bandits was out of luck, and I don't know whether to call their scouts too responsible or too stupid. Anyway, the dazed guy spied on the line for five minutes.

As a result, he quickly paid the price for his recklessness.

The guy, who was covered in weeds, rubbed his eyes suddenly, and he noticed that a beautiful female knight in silver armor had suddenly disappeared from the group. It was an unusual change that made him almost think that something was wrong with the eye he relied on for his life.

And then soon, he was kicked and.

"Who gave you the guts to fight our idea?

His tragic fate was announced with a rebuke, and then, when the half-sword of the dragon carved with the dragon head rested on his shoulder, he immediately abandoned all discipline and returned to his station with several knights and mages.

So half an hour later, he could only kneel on the ground in sorrow, looking at the hateful gazes of his companions, who had almost been demolished into a ragged stockade, and endured the hateful gazes of his unarmed and bruised nose and face, and secretly considered in his heart how to find his next home.

Still, he was glad that the knightess didn't hang everyone on a dead tree like the rest of the nobles.

"I thought you wouldn't hesitate to kill these bandits!" Charlotte had to look up at Vivien Leigh on the way back to the team and said, "I remember your dream when you were a child, which was to be a righteous warrior and drive out all evil!"

His nightmare was mercilessly confiscated by Vivien Leigh, so much so that he had to look up at Vivien Leigh on her tall and low-nightmarish horse. As a sister protector, Charlotte felt that was what he had to do. Of course, he would never admit that it was because he had once again dislocated his arm!

The depressed Vivien Leigh glared at Charlotte angrily, "Don't be kidding! Didn't you listen to them? They are just a group of serfs who have been made unable to survive by the excesses and taxes of the nobles, and they are also forced to do so!"

"Yes, but that's what almost every defeated bandit says. Charlotte shrugged, "Remember what I said when I begged my mother for mercy when I was a child? Please, merciful lady, I am old and young, and I have a beautiful wife in the middle!"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows, "That's the standard method of a robber begging for mercy!"

"Hmph, you limbless mage!" said Vivien Leigh, looking up proudly, "I think I can tell the difference between a trained warrior and a serf without a weapon!"

Charlotte was stunned. For a long time, he said incredulously, "That is, what they said is true?"

When she saw Vivien Leigh nodding, Charlotte couldn't help but feel sad when she remembered the unclothed appearance of the women and children in the village.

"That's a terrible ......" Before that, he thought it was a group of women who had been robbed by bandits.

"There's something even worse. Claire whispered beside her, "As serfs, it is a capital offense for them to flee the lord's territory. Few nobles would take in a group of fugitive slaves, and their usual practice for fugitive slaves was to hang them on a dead tree. ”

He looked at Charlotte, "As the Grand Duke, I think you should understand this decree. ”

"Of course. Charlotte nodded, "But in Erosa, I rarely see fugitive slaves. And Icewind Castle......" he shrugged, "I barely visited the rest of the territory. ”

"Erosa also had fugitives, but it was really uncommon. Claire looked south, and in that direction was the center of the waning Empire, "and in the Territory of the San Lorenzo Empire, it was clear that the situation was much worse than what we had heard. ”

"This empire is coming to an end, I can feel it!" said a Klayderman knight behind the three of them, "In knightly circles, almost everyone is looking forward to that day. Waiting for the day when our great King of the North will be put on the throne of God!"

The knight in his armor thought he had made a good shot, but it was clear that he had hit the horse's leg.

Claire is bent on elevating the Throne of Souls, Charlotte is painstaking in researching the root causes of the fraud, and the only knight, Vivien Leigh, doesn't seem interested in civil war.

Proof of this is that when the knight said this, their princess frowned and turned her head and whispered in a disgruntled tone, "Watch your words! knight!

She pointed to the north with her horsewhip, "Our enemies are the aliens of the north, not our compatriots who have the same blood as us!"

Although the knight was shocked by Vivien Leigh's displeasure, he still adhered to the etiquette, "Yes, my princess!"

The makeshift expedition was silent for a moment, and when the group joined the group, the iron-blooded but family-minded Grand Duke Lawrence immediately sensed Vivien Leigh's displeasure.

"What's the matter, my dear princess, who upset you?" It is hard to imagine that the Grand Guild of Lawrence, who rules most of the North like a lion, would have such a loving expression, but those who know the Grand Duke's temperament are not surprised, "Are those bandits who are as inexhaustible as fleas?"

"No!" said Vivien Leigh, pouting as she turned to Lawrence, "Father, have you noticed the dangerous rhetoric circulating in the army, and there are many people, even the great nobles of Erosa, who want to start a civil war!"

Lawrence was stunned, he subconsciously glanced at his wife, and Mrs. Rebecca shook her head with a pleading expression.

So, Archduke Lawrence said against his will, "No, I have not heard of such a statement. Maybe you're too preoccupied, little princess!"

"Really?" Fei Wenli nodded suspiciously, "Father, with all due respect, then you need to pay attention to the army. There are some warriors in the Duchy who are too eager for merit, and they may think it's for your own good, but in fact, their dangerous thoughts can stain your sword with the blood of your countrymen!"

Lawrence was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and pointed to the carriage carved with the Clayderman family crest, "I'll be careful." Why don't you take this opportunity to rest, my righteous knight princess, knowing that we may need to camp in the wilderness tonight. ”

"I'm not so fragile! Father!" Vivien Leigh twisted the head of her nightmare horse, and the tall and mighty undead mount turned like an arm, and Vivien Leigh blew into the distance like the wind.

Lawrence looked at Rebecca, and he sighed in distress, "Look, Rebecca. That's what I'm worried about, the best knights of the Clayderman family for thousands of years hated war. I really don't know what I'm going to do with my proud daughter the day I make my decision. ”

"She just hates the Civil War! In the Northern War, she's famous!" Rebecca rode alongside Lawrence, and she gently took Lawrence's hand, "Maybe Vivien Leigh is right, the Civil War isn't good for us." ”

"But civil war will definitely break out, and until then, I must prepare for war!" Lawrence said firmly, "Knights are hungry for merit, and the knight nation of Erosa must make her own choice!"

"And that includes you, right?" asked Mrs. Rebecca softly.

This time, she didn't get an answer from Lawrence.

Her husband, whom she had been with for decades, looked silently into the distance, and Rebecca knew that although the Clayderman family had inherited Claudien's proud tradition of family care and warmth. But it is clear that Lawrence is not the same as Claudine, who has abdicated the throne!

He longs for glory!
