Chapter 205: Dependence
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The people of Sisinia are never unfamiliar with war, because war can happen all around them at any moment.
In the past ten years, frequent wars have eliminated countless weak noble lords, and now, the noble lords who can survive and gain a foothold in Sisinia have a strength that should not be underestimated.
As time passed, the shape of Sisinia began to become clearer, and the various noble lords who competed for the position of the Grand Duke formed corresponding spheres of influence, and the most powerful of them was the Marquis Edmund, the lord of the Northlands.
The alliance of nobles led by the Viscount of Farrant was a relatively common force in Western Sinia, because there were basically only two ways for weak noble lords to avoid the fate of being embezzled, either to attach themselves to the powerful nobles, or to unite with each other to resist the invasion of strong enemies.
However, although Viscount Frank was full of ambition to form his own alliance, and tried to use the means of the alliance to constantly win over the power of the small and medium-sized nobles, so as to give himself the basis of conditions to compete for the Grand Duke, unfortunately, the Count of Heather, who was close to the territory of the Viscount of Farrant, completely destroyed the other party's mind through the means of war that constantly intruded and invaded.
If it weren't for the stubborn resistance of the soldiers led by the "White Frost Knight" Bai Cize under the command of Viscount Farrant several times, otherwise the noble alliance on Viscount Farrant's side would have fallen into the hands of Count Heather.
When Charlan learned from Ogno that the Earl of Heather had invaded again, he understood why the other party would give up on the capture of Pandelia, on the one hand, because the body of the soldier in charge of tracking and arresting was found in the Lelasso Mountain, so it can be inferred that the fugitive had successfully escaped to Adria; On the other hand, the fact that Count Heather sent troops to invade completely left Viscount Frank with no spare energy to care about other things, because once the war went wrong, Viscount Frank would completely lose everything.
The sky was high and the clouds were light, and the autumn wind mixed with a hint of gloom blew across the desolate plain road, and in the distance, there were bursts of sand and dust, and a vague group of people and horses suddenly appeared on the hard dirt road.
The sound of horse-drawn carriages turning was heard, and caravans loaded with large quantities of goods gradually came into view.
Well-trained armed escorts rode on tall horses and silently followed the sides of the caravan wagons, which were lined with flags, and judging by the falcon family crest flying on the flags, there was no doubt that this was a caravan under the command of the Viscount of Farrant.
Charan quietly followed the carriage of Pandelia and Winnie as they set out from the gates of Canros, and after Algernon introduced him to the leader of the caravan, a fat man with a philistine appearance, they rarely had contact with each other again.
He could roughly tell that Algernon had not told the caravan leader their true identities, and he was reluctant to let the other party know their identities, thinking that Algernon did not want any accidents to happen to the credit he had received.
Looking at Algernon and the caravan leader who were chatting happily in the distance, Xia Lan's mind quietly drifted into the distance.
After the Earl of Heather of Rodeway blatantly invaded Diorda, presumably the "White Frost Knight" Baicizer, whom Viscount of Farrant relied on, would inevitably lead the soldiers to the front line, and at that time, Telalo would also temporarily fall into a certain emptiness because of this, as for the so-called "Night Wind" Bukins, Xia Lan didn't pay attention to it at all, because he heard that the other party was just a swordsman who had just been promoted to the upper echelon.
Without the biggest threat on their side, their plans may be more bold and direct, even if their identities are exposed, he can force a way out.
It's just that the only problem that Xia Lan is slightly worried about now is that there is Rodeway under the Earl of Heather on the way to Querofe, and now the war between the two noble forces will undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, where should they go then?
……
Five days later.
Xia Lan and his party followed the caravan and finally arrived late to Telalo City, the capital under the rule of Viscount Farrante, but due to the impact of the recent sudden outbreak of war, the soldiers at the city gate were also much stricter than before.
"Your Excellency, I beg your pardon for saying goodbye to you for the time being, as I now need to report to the Viscount about you at once, and perhaps you will receive a grand reception from the Viscount soon."
As soon as he settled down in an upscale and luxurious hotel in the city of Telalo, Algernon couldn't wait to explain to Xia Lan and the others to leave.
Pushing open the window of her room and letting the sun shine on her, Pandelia stood on the windowsill, staring out at the bustling pedestrian street.
It was her first time in Tello City, but there was an indescribable sense of familiarity.
She suddenly remembered Querofi, perhaps every prosperous and rich city has something similar.
Under the glamorous scene on the surface, who knows what kind of danger is hidden in it.
Behind her, there was a slight creaking sound of footsteps on the wooden ground, and she turned her head to see Xia Lan walking towards her with an expressionless face.
"Put on your hood and don't forget where you are now."
Pandelia reached out and stroked the golden hair hanging from her ear, as if she didn't pay any attention to the other party's warning, but said with a faint sense of provocation: "There are no outsiders here." ”
She had long had enough of this oppression by shrouding herself in a white cloak and hiding.
"If nothing else, Viscount Farrant's men will be here soon."
Xia Lan stood straight beside her, looking out the window at the most striking castle building in the distance.
"I thought Viscount Farrant would at least send someone to test us." Pandelia said with an indifferent smile.
"If it weren't for the war that Earl Heather started, he would have been." Xia Lan concluded calmly.
"It seems that the pressure of war has made the other side lose its previous caution." Pandelia said.
"No, temptation can be done at any time, but there are some things that can't." Charland Road.
"What do you mean?" Pandelia frowned.
"Not long ago, I heard that the Knights of the White Frost have led their army to Diorda." Xia Lan said meaningfully.
After hearing this, Pandelia's whole person suddenly fell into deep thought.
"I see."
After a long time, she muttered thoughtfully, "Now that Viscount Farrant has lost his greatest reliance in Telalo City, he doesn't have enough courage to offend us lightly in the face of a mysterious foreign swordsman......"
"Things may be smoother than we thought."
Xia Lan withdrew her gaze from the window and turned around.
"Here they are."
When Pandelia heard this, she looked out the window, and saw in the distance a cavalry team with the Falcon family crest banner slowly moving in their direction.
The cold is almost gone, and the only regret is that the cough is still a little frequent.
Careless, I thought I would be fine if I took some medicine, who thought that the illness would become more and more serious, I knew that it would be good to go directly to the hospital for a few injections, but it has dragged on until now, hey......
At the same time, readers are reminded that if you are sick during the winter and spring seasons, it is best to go directly to the hospital, so as not to delay a minor illness into a major illness.
