Lesson 4 Combat Meeting
"Click...... Click......"
The horseshoe struck the stone bricks below with a dull sound, and a lavishly decorated carriage, escorted by a dozen knights, came to the door of a mansion.
The servant guarding the door hastened to send one person to the mansion to inform the master, and the others opened the door to greet the guests.
The carriage came to a steady stop, and the old coachman jumped down, took out a small stepping chair, placed it in front of the door, and respectfully opened the door of the carriage with the coat of arms emblazoned with Elialos.
The first to come out was a middle-aged man with a strong physique, the traditional aristocratic dress could not hide it at all, full of explosive muscles, his brown hair was neatly combed back, revealing a few traces of tiger stripes on his forehead, with a beard, his eyes were sharp and bright, and the whole person was full of energy.
When the middle-aged man got down, he naturally stretched out a hand backwards, grabbed the other hand that stretched out from the carriage, and took out a delicate lady.
When the two came down, the host's family also came out of the mansion and reached the gate.
At the forefront was an old man with gray hair, although the years had left traces on his face, his waist was still straight, and his eyes were full of clarity.
Immediately behind the old man appeared a man and a woman, about the same age as the Elialos couple, and their intimate appearance was known to the discerning eye that they were a couple.
"Oh hehe, my dear Rose, long time no see!"
The old man greeted him and gave Rose a hug, and Rose also slapped the old man's back a few times with a smile on his face.
"Long time no see, Earl Roosevelt."
"Rose!"
After Earl Roosevelt and Rose saluted, the middle-aged man also came up and gave Rose a hug.
"Long time no see, Boum!"
Seeing that her husband and Rose looked like they were reunited after a long absence, the lady on the side covered her mouth and said funny: "What long time no see, obviously you two were still drunk ten days ago......
"Hahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
Rose and Boum burst into laughter at the same time.
"Come in!" With a wave of his hand, Earl Roosevelt pulled the guest into his mansion.
When they entered the mansion, the servants dispersed, and the two noblewomen, Mary and Millie, had long since said goodbye to the men, and had slipped out into the back garden to talk about women, while Rose went to Monsieur Earl's study.
The three of them took their seats and exchanged a few words of greeting, and then they got into the subject.
"Rose, there is something to do when I called you over this time...... Count Roosevelt dissipated the casual look he had just now, and said to Rose with a stern expression.
"Lord Roosevelt, if there's anything you want!" Rose also nodded sternly, and then said jokingly, "As long as it's not the Eternal Night Emperor calling, just Gangze or Philip, I think we can still solve it......"
Now, except for some subplanes and strange spaces, the whole world is mainly divided into four continents, centered on the ruins of the Templar that were extremely sacred two thousand years ago and are now full of dangers, and there are one continent in each of the four directions.
Two thousand years ago, there was only one continent above the world, and the kings fought against each other, but with the advent of the Emperor of the Eternal Night, the war between countries has become a personal grudge, and the war between the living and the dead is the main theme.
The Templar Church relied on the sacred mountain floating in the sky in the center of the continent to organize a decisive battle with the Emperor of the Eternal Night, and the battle changed the color of the heavens and the earth, and the gods and demons were terrified.
In the end, the Emperor of the Eternal Night shattered the sacred mountain that the Church was proud of like a fortress in the sky with a single sword, and the earth-shattering sword sliced through the leylines of the entire continent, splitting the originally intact continent into four pieces.
In this battle, the living beings were basically exhausted, and in the following time, the Eternal Night Emperor and his army were like a bamboo, shrouding the world in the shadow of death, if it were not for the strait generated by the floating action of the four continents, it would be more difficult for the undead to ascend from one continent to another, and the living beings would not be able to hold up the [Hundred Years of Dark Era] at all, and the Red Lotus Warrior would have become a plane of undead rule here before he was born.
This battle is historically known as the Battle of Dusk and the Order of the Eternal Night.
"It's not the business of Gonzer and Filiup, though they've been on the verge of ......," Earl Roosevelt dismissed Ross's speculation about the enemy's movements.
The Emperor of the Eternal Night? That's no guesswork at all. At that time, the Red Lotus Brave led his team to attack the army of the undead in a desperate situation, and successfully defeated the Emperor of the Eternal Night under the cover of his teammates, and burned the Emperor's soul and body with the fire of the Red Lotus, leaving only a broken crown of the Emperor of the Eternal Night that was kept in the Royal Museum of the Eastern Continent in Toronto as a warning.
"Isn't it Gangze and Filiup?" Ross was slightly confused.
The southern continent where they are located is the smallest of the four continents, so there is not even a single empire on the continent, and there are only three kingdoms in total - the kingdom of Gangze in the northeast, the kingdom of Filiup in the west, and the kingdom of Fran in the southeast.
The largest area of the Philippop Kingdom is mostly mountainous and hilly, and there are not many areas that can be cultivated, and many people grow enough food to survive the winter, and they have to hunt a lot to survive the winter;
Although the Gangze Kingdom is also located in the plain area, the Dark Age two thousand years ago made a large area of the Gangze Kingdom desertified, and the land has not been restored to life for such a long time, but a few wild undead will pop up from time to time to attack the people in the area of the Corridor of the Dead;
Compared with them, the people of the Kingdom of France live so nourishingly, the terrain of the country is flat, the land is fertile, and the climate is also very pleasant, how can no one come to peep at such a good territory?
Count Ross and Count Roosevelt were both nationals of the Kingdom of France, and the war between the three countries was no longer strange, basically a small war every five years, a big war every ten years, if the war had just been fought a few days ago, and the people from the other two countries fought again today, they would not find it strange at all.
But if it weren't for the enemy country coming over, why was Earl Roosevelt so strict?
"It's a thief!" Boom, with a stiff face, answered Rose's question, "There is a gang of thieves around the city of Lero......
"Oh? Thieves? ”
Now that's interesting......
Ross glanced at Boum with a slight surprise.
Boom was the son-in-law of Earl Roosevelt and also served as the commander of the garrison army in the city of Lero.
Although Liluo City is not a city located at the forefront of the line, it is also a transportation hub city on the transportation channel linking the northern [Requiem Fortress], and it is rationed to the combat troops of Liluo City, and its combat effectiveness is naturally not low.
And to be the commander of such an army, Boum is not a weak chicken, not to mention that Ross and Boum have fought with Gangze together, and they know the ability of this colleague.
It was evident from Boom's gloomy face that he had suffered at the hands of the thieves.
"This gang of thieves is not simple, they seem to appear out of nowhere. The first few incidents were just the robbery of caravans and a few small villages, until later, when they sacked the manor of Baron Ankor......"
"We organized an encirclement of them, but ......," Boom said to Rose with a solemn expression, "there must be a high-ranking mage among them, and we lost several mages last time we cleared them......"
At this point, Boom paused before continuing, "How did they die...... Very weird......"
"Spooky? What's the weird way? Rose asked, frowning.
Magicians are very rare, their status is high, and the lowest-level first-order official mage can completely become a noble guest, and there is no need to be mixed in the gang of thieves, let alone a high-level mage.
"Judging from the corpses, they seem to have suffocated to death, but the reason ......"
Boom was halfway through his sentence when a sudden voice interrupted Boom and inserted it into Rose's ear: "Actually, they were forcibly extracted by someone by unknown means and died!" ”
When the three of them saw someone coming, they hurriedly got up, and Earl Roosevelt greeted with a smile: "Master Tony." ”
Mage Tony was an old man, wearing a mage robe, a pointed mage hat, a short staff, and a single glass on his left eye.
Master Tony walked briskly into the study, sat down unceremoniously at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of black tea, and drank it all.
Putting the teacup down, and waiting for the three of them to sit down again, Tony said to the three of them sternly:
"I've just seen the body of the murdered mage, and the cause of death is that he was forcibly drained of his mental power, which can't be wrong, as for what method to use, I don't have a clue. This time the opponent is not simple! ”
Hearing this, Rose already knew what they meant—they wanted their own Knights!
The Knights of the Wolf Tooth led by Rose are the newly formed elite knights of the kingdom, stationed near the castle of the Elialos family, and have been under closed management and training, so that Rose did not know about the ransacking of a baron's manor.
And now, the training is almost over, and it is estimated that in addition to exterminating the bandits, Earl Roosevelt also has no intention of training.
Earl Roosevelt smiled and looked at Master Tony, who had rushed from the royal capital to help investigate, and the latter took out an order from his bosom, stating that the king's ** department had agreed to use the Knights of the Wolf Fang.
Ross took the order and stood up straight and saluted Earl Roosevelt:
"Do as you command, Chief Roosevelt!"
