Chapter 31: The Rose Knight

The vast green plains are dotted with farmland, farmhouses, hotels, windmills, and windmills, and the winding river meanders through the plain in the sun glowing white and yellow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info blue sky, white clouds flutter slowly with the wind.

In this landscape painting, a white mare carries a knight in white plate armor across the plain. Behind the white mare is a dozen riders in chain mail, carrying two flags: one with the coat of arms of Duke Cullen Madison, two lions standing symmetrically upright, surrounded by a cross sword in the middle, a golden crown above the sword, and a red rose and knight's sword embroidered on the other.

The white mare runs on an endless plain with picturesque scenery on both sides. Veretta Brian's mind was not on the scenery, and she felt a little out of breath. Before leaving, Veretta had her maid wrap her breasts tightly around her breasts to cover her feminine features, even though the cuirass was large enough to accommodate her bust.

The Kingdom of Meno has a large number of plains, lakes, and hills, where the rivers Lawrence, Wisna, and Brighton converge. The land here is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and in addition to farming, the plains are also suitable for grazing, which has given birth to many excellent riders. As the class was subdivided, some riders gradually became propertied knights.

The Brian family has been loyal to King Madison for more than 200 years. In Madison's Lion Knights, the knights of the Brian family always have a place. After Euron Madison surrendered to Rhodes, the Kingdom of Meno became the province of Menor, but the Brians remained loyal to the Madisons.

David Bryan is the head of the Lion Knights and has three children, with Veretta Bryan his only daughter. In the province of Menot, female riders are not uncommon due to the tradition of grazing. Since she was sensible, Veretta's childhood playmates were Wooden Sword and Little Mare. In the Bryan family, women riding horses became commonplace, and David Bryan didn't care.

Everything changed the moment Veretta met Karen Madison. Veretta was impressed by Karen's temperament, she couldn't tell why, and there was a hint of melancholy on Karen's delicate face, which made her think about protecting Karen.

Cullen seemed to read her gaze, and after Cullen inherited the dukedom and became the guardian of the South, he canonized a group of knights. One of them is Veretta Brian. Pledge allegiance to become the first female knight of the Empire, and she chose the crossed red rose and knight's sword as her coat of arms.

However, Veretta is not respected by the others. Privately, the male knights sneered at her. Veretta slept with Karen Madison, but they refused to marry her and couldn't get rid of her, so they chose to make her a knight. Veretta had even heard such rumors. At first, she finds a few rumors to duel, but in the end she doesn't stop the rumors from spreading.

She can only choose to remain silent, hoping to prove herself in knightly competitions or battles.

"Sir Miss?" the squire Bolton kicked his spur and caught up with Veretta. Bolton's riding skills and swordsmanship are poor, and after the age of 16 he is still a knight's squire, and no knight is willing to ask him, so Veretta chooses Bolton. "I don't have a knighthood, and I'm not a delicate lady. Veretta glanced at Burton, the boy had dark curly hair, and his chest shook up and down when he rode because he was fat. Veretta subconsciously took a deep breath, her chest still a little too tight.

"Your Excellency...... Look over there, the village is smoking. Burton pointed into the distance.

"That's the village of Wald, the domain of Viscount Byron. Veretta saw the windmill, the sign of Wald, "Follow all and see if you can help." ”

The road was a mess. Trampled potatoes, cabbage leaves, shredded women's clothes are casually abandoned on the side of the road, and a rooster sees Veretta's team, clucks, flutters its wings and flees. The doors of several wooden houses were open, and some of the steps were stained with blood.

"There are people there. The rider touched the farmer's snort, "Dead." ”

"My lord, something is wrong. Bolton frowned, "Could it be a robber?"

Veretta drew her dagger, gritted her teeth, and said, "Get ready to fight." She was the first to head towards the smoke.

The wood warehouse was on fire and smoke was constantly rising. Outside the stone tower on the other side, several people were piling up straw and wood. Not far from them, more than a dozen people were filled with bows and arrows.

The door to the wooden warehouse was opened, and a man stumbled out, his face ashen, and he screamed, and a bow and arrow shot him in the heart. Another old man ran out and shot him in the head with a bow and arrow.

"Hey, I shot faster than you. A headshot with one arrow. The gray-haired archer whistled and said to his companion.

"Nonsense, the old man is slow, I can change it. The short-haired archer took his bow again, "One more." ”

A gray-faced girl ran out, saw the archer, ran back screaming, was hit by an arrow in the back, and fell to the door.

"That's a young girl!" exasperated the brown-haired rider, "who shot the arrow? ”

A crowd laughed lewdly.

"Who's going to shoot whom, when the warehouse burns down?" asked the gray-haired archer, "and you didn't say who you spared." ”

The rider pointed to the stone tower and said, "I have changed my mind, and I will light a fire there and smoke them out." ”

Bolton looked at Veretta nervously, "Your Excellency...... It doesn't seem to be robbers, their equipment ......"

As soon as Veretta kicked the spur, the mare charged forward and shouted, "Kill me!"

She took the lead, slashed off the arm of an archer with a swing of her sword, and rushed up with the shouts of her riders.

Two groups of people slaughtered together. The infantry was always weak in front of the cavalry, and was replaced with short swords by the archers in close quarters, some were knocked into the air, and some were cut down by the riders.

"Catch a few alive!" called Veretta, who pulled the reins as the mare stopped beside a fallen archer, "who are you?"

Before she could finish speaking, more than a dozen riders appeared in another part of the village, led by a knight in gold plate armor and spear in hand, who rushed towards her.

"Stay in formation!" Vereta shouted, her brow furrowed as she led the pack towards the other.

The Golden Knight's spear stabbed at Veretta, who dodged the blow by sticking to her horse. By the time she turned her horse's head, her riders were already scuffling with the opposing chainmail riders. Swords sparked with each other, and the neighing of horses, the screams of the wounded, and the roars of riders mingled.

The Golden Knight threw away his spear, drew his steel sword, and pointed at Veretta. Veretta kicked the Spurs for the second leg.

Her sword collided violently with the steel longsword, and her arm went numb. After adjusting the horse's angle, she catches the Golden Knight's slash. The Golden Knight unleashed a quick second blow, which slashed into Veretta's breastplate. The plate made a screeching sound, and Veretta was glad to have the breastplate to protect it, and the plate armor was strong.

"Ahh She lunged at the Golden Knight, slashing her halfway through a chainmail rider and knocking her to the ground.

She struggled to crawl towards the sword, and an infantryman kicked her in the stomach, and she screamed, grabbed the hilt, and as the infantry stabbed the sword at her, she rolled out of the way, cutting off the infantryman's foot. She stood up, and in front of her was another infantryman wielding a sword. She held the sword in her right hand to catch the opponent's slash, and the iron glove in her left hand clenched her fist and slammed the opponent's face, the opponent was dizzy, she turned to the opponent's back and slit his throat with the sword.

The Golden Knight rode up to her. Seconds before the horse was about to hit her, she sideways and swooped up, knocking the Golden Knight to the ground. The two fell together.

The Golden Knight slammed his right hand at Veretta, who blocked her face with her left hand and returned with her right hand. She hit the golden armor, and the other party shook a few times, and she took the opportunity to get away and pick up the long sword.

The two Plate Knights faced each other again on the ground. For the woman, the Golden Knight's attack was so powerful that Veretta didn't dare to take the opponent's attack hard, she chose to rely on footwork to dodge and parry with her long sword.

"Woman? The Golden Knight's voice rang out as he tripped over Veretta.

Veretta lay on the ground, sword held high and stabbed at it, and the Golden Knight flew her sword away, pressing her knee to Veretta's chest.

"Who are you?!" Veretta roared as she roared and swung her right fist at the Golden Knight. The Golden Knight grabbed Veretta's right hand with his left hand and placed his sword around Veretta's neck.

"Greetings to Earl Rundstedt. The Golden Knight's voice was clear, and he smiled.

"My lord!" Bolton shouted, rushing forward, slashing down with his sword raised.

The Golden Knight parried with his sword, stood up, flicked his wrist, and swung his long sword at Bolton, who kept parrying and retreating step by step.

Veretta scrambled to her feet, picked up her sword, and slashed at the Golden Knight's back with a loud shout, the plate of armor buzzing and the sword ricocheting back.

The Golden Knight took a few steps back, sword in both hands, and confronted Bolton and Veretta. Bolton made a quick move, and after the Golden Knight dodged the slash, he smashed Bolton in the face with the hilt of his sword, and Bolton fell to the ground and rolled several times.

"Reinforcements!" someone shouted.

Veretta saw the flag of the thorn flower surrounding the constellation Libra. Baron Byron's people, his own people. With confidence, Veretta roared, stepped forward, raised her sword and swung it, and after the Golden Knight parried, she kicked Vereta away, grabbed the reins of a horse, turned over on the horse, and walked away.

A middle-aged man with long hair and a thin side got off his horse and stretched out his hand: "I heard that you have solved the villagers." You are...... Knightess, I think I know who it is. ”

Veretta shook off the other's hand, glared at the other, and stood up: "Rose Knight, I am the Rose Knight of Duke Cullen, Veretta Brian. ”

The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and withdrew his right hand in embarrassment: "Okay, I'm Antonio Byron." Respectful...... Rose Knights, will you come with me to meet Ser Arryn, this time the situation is serious, they don't look like ordinary robbers. ”

"The man of Earl Rundstedt. Veretta gritted her teeth, "They want to provoke a war. ”
