111. My conditions

Hearing Count Desmond say this, Zach rubbed his hands nervously, perhaps because of an overdose of the Life Essence, which caused his skin to have a dull gray-green color, he stood aside and coughed softly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zach, and Zach said to Count Desmond: "Ahem, Count Desmond, do you mean that if Jijia is unwilling to be the commander of the Knights of the Formation of the North Wind Legion, you will lead your knights back to the north, right?"

Zack's face turned green, as if he had been poisoned.

Ernestine mentioned to me that Zach's skin would be as green as cabbage if his heart raced a little faster.

I don't understand the reason for this, I want to find a time to go to the circular valley of the Xinliu Valley to ask the young World Tree, but unfortunately the time has not allowed it.

"I'm sorry, Marquis Zack, I really can't make any promises to you!" Count Desmond stood straight, and the metal armor on his chest shone silver, making him look like a thick wall, even if Count Desmond didn't carry a large shield with him, he could clearly let people know that he was a powerful shield warrior.

He looked at Zach and Ernestine, and solemnly explained: "This expedition to the Hierro plane is actually the spontaneous action of some knights in the Knights of the Formation of the North Wind Legion. ”

"Huh?"

Zach was speechless in astonishment when he heard Count Desmond say this.

Ernestine stood silent, her clear gaze falling on me, her gaze like two swords, and there was a feeling of wanting to cut me open to see.

I'm also staring blankly at Count Desmond at the moment, the spontaneous actions of the knights of the Borean Legion, what's going on?

Seeing the great question mark condensed on my forehead, the Earl of Desmond smiled kindly at me, and said:

"Some of the knights who were helped by Count Giga in the Battle of Fishing Lake, now there are many people who are commanders of the Knights of the North Wind Legion, I heard that Count Giga took the initiative to write a letter to the Duke, hoping that the North Wind Legion can go to the Hiero plane, and after learning the news from the Duke, the knights in costume applied to the Duke in the hope of going to Hierro. ”

That should have been five years ago.

At that time, I passed by the fishing lake alone and returned to the city of El, and happened to encounter the Knights of the Guard Camp of Sloitt City who were besieged by thousands of barbarian warriors on the shore of the fishing lake, but Jingyue Ellie was the head of the Knights of the Guard Camp of Silloit, and I performed a 'water walk' on the knights of the Knights of the Thousands of Guard Camp to help them cross the fishing lake and escape from the siege set by the barbarians.

Hearing what Count Desmond said, some of the knights under Duke Jingyue at the beginning were likely to have become officers in the North Wind Legion.

“......”

The inside of the dormitory suddenly became extremely quiet, and no one thought that the North Wind Legion was going to the Hierro plane, and there was such a layer of factors in it.

Zach and Ernestine had a look of realization in their eyes.

Zach stretched out his hand and pressed it heavily on my shoulder, and said to me very earnestly, "There is such a thing, Jiga, you won't help us, will you?"

I felt that the smile on my face was a little stiff at the moment, and I wanted to think about it more, because I didn't want to agree rashly, or immediately refuse, because it was not only about me, but also about the future fate of the ten Knights of the North Wind Legion, and it was even likely to affect the future situation in the Hierro plane.

I chose not to answer Zack's inquiry, and said to Zack: "Hey, Zack, Ernestine, how are you doing in Pereira City lately?"

Zach was not annoyed by my evasion of his topic, he seemed very patient and introduced me very seriously: "Now the morale of the main battle faction in Pereira is high, and everyone wants to retake the lost cities, and some of the minor lords of Durva Province have become more active in the past two days when they learn that the North Wind Legion is going to fight against Hierro. ”

We sat at the round table on the terrace of the dormitory, and Caterina poured us some golden cider.

Ernestine was very interested in Caterina and kept looking at Caterina seriously.

Zach sat at the round table, holding wine glasses in both hands, and introduced to me: "Before coming to Dì Dū, seven lords have made it clear to us that they are willing to send their constructed knights to fight in the Hierro plane, if you add the constructed knights in the hands of me and Ernestin, we will probably be able to gather twenty fully equipped knights this time, and the various supplies in Pereira City are very sufficient, and we are very secure in terms of logistics." ”

Then, he smiled helplessly and said, "But all this is based on the willingness of the knights of the North Wind Legion to go to Hyero, so that the knights who have experienced several failures can regain their confidence." ”

He admits that the current situation in the Hierro plane is very bad, mainly because the troops stationed in Pereira lack a strong will to fight.

Zach said to me, "We need a beautiful victory, to revive the morale of the troops in Pereira, many of the warriors have been terrified by the murderous Nibru spiders, and they need to regain their courage and faith in victory." ”

Noah and Senior Vernon listened attentively, but there was no place for them to interject at this time.

I pondered for a moment, making the atmosphere on the terrace a little more solemn, and I looked up and asked Zach, "Remember that gift that Count Reze and Knight Jason of the Knights of the Southwind brought you a month ago?"

Zach grinned, wanted to laugh but didn't, and said to me, "You mean the captured Spider-Man Overseer, how could I not remember? Now it's still in Durva's Monster Prison, it's a very strange Spider-Man Overseer, with a face on the ass, and cowardly, cowardly, greedy, and our Inquisitor is trying to dig up more information about the Nybru Spider-Man from its mouth. ”

I said, "It was me and the Constructed Knights of Prince James' Guard, who we captured in a dense forest in the southern Black Forest, with the Constructed Knights of Prince James' Guard. ”

Zach looked a little ashamed, but it might be hard to see him blushing until his skin disease was completely cured.

He said to me, "You told me these things the last time we met. I hoped that you would be able to convince Grand Duke Jingyue to mobilize the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion to go to the Hiero Plane, but you only promised to write a letter for me, I thought you were perfunctory to me, but I didn't expect to wait for the magic airship of Sloit City in just one month. ”

I tapped my index finger twice on the table, motioning for him to listen to me, so as not to be distracted by him.

"You may not know how powerful this Spider-Man Overseer was at the time, in fact, this Spider-Man Overseer's form at this time is its third form, and when we met it, it was much larger than the other Spider-Man Overseers, its first form had three pairs of arms, and it could wield six giant black iron weapons at once. "I pulled out a blank piece of parchment and used a charcoal pen to expertly trace the appearance of the Spider-Man Overseer.

Then I said to Zach, "We weren't very sure about the hunt at the time, and we met some passionate Hiero natives in that dense forest, and with their help, we were able to capture the Spider-Man Overseer. ”

When Zack heard the Hierro natives, he was still a little careless.

I had to accentuate my tone a little and said, "I think the war in the Hiero plane is not only a war between us Grimm and the Nibru spiders, but also a war between the Natives of Hiero and the Nibru spiders. ”

That's when Zach realized that I was talking to him about it very seriously, so he put down his glass and became more attentive.

I said to Zack: "Although we have been depopulating the population of the indigenous people of the northern Black Forest through slave hunting for the past few decades, forcing them to migrate southward, maintaining a blockade and repression against these indigenous peoples, expanding a large area of land north of the Black Forest little by little, we have always been in a hostile relationship with the indigenous people of Hierro, and even hostile to each other. ”

"But I hope that in the next war with the Nebru spider-people, we can unite all the forces that can be combined against the Nibru spider-men. ”

After saying this, I glanced at the Earl of Desmond and saw that he looked at me with encouragement, as if he knew what I was about to say!

I took a deep breath, and then said to Zach and Ernestine: "I can be the commander of the ten constructed knights of the North Wind Legion, but I have some conditions, which include some policies towards the natives of the Hiero plane, and I need the Duke of Samoyed to make some commitments to this and change some laws against the natives of Hierro." ”

I've told both of them about these things about the Hierro natives before, but neither Zach nor Ernestine paid much attention to them at the time.

Now they realized that these were my conditions for being the commander of the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion.

I didn't give them much time to think about it, and continued: "Also, since I am the commander of the ten Constructed Knights of the Borean Legion, I hope to be able to take the ten Constructed Knights to operate alone in the Hiero plane, of course I can assist you in completing some major battles, but if I feel that there is a certain risk in the battle, I can lead these Constructed Knights to evacuate the dangerous place at any time." ”

Apparently this condition was a bit difficult for Zack to accept, and before Zack opened his mouth to argue, I said to Zack: "I don't need you to answer me immediately, I can wait until tomorrow, if you go to the Grand Duke's Palace through the Dì Dū Teleportation Hall now, you should still be in time for dinner, right?"

Zach and Ernestin glanced at each other and made eye contact.

Knowing my conditions, Zach said, "I've recently heard that some adventuring parties and merchants have started to contact the Hiero natives in Tanton City, maybe those Hiero natives are not as difficult to reach as we think, give me a little time, and I will try to convince my father, you don't know how stubborn he is, but no matter how difficult it is, I am willing to give it a try." ”

With that, Ernestin took Zakla into the bedroom room and whispered to him.

The Earl of Desmond and I sat in chairs at the round table on the terrace.

It was then that the Earl of Desmond said to me, "Before I come, the Duke has made a special visit to me, hoping that when I meet you, I will greet you on her behalf." ”

I asked Count Desmond about Duke Jingyue's physical condition: "How is Duke Jingyue's injury recovering?"

His face became a little solemn, and he said to me, "Although the Duke's injuries have healed, I don't know how long it will take to fully recover, and those great magicians in Sloit City think that the Duke can survive such a serious injury, which is a miracle in itself." ”

Then he asked me, "I heard from the Duke that after you graduate from the Royal Academy of Magic, you will join the Legion of the North Wind?"

I replied, "Of course, my home is in El City, and there's no reason why I shouldn't join the Legion of the North Wind." ”

He looked happy to hear me say this, and shook his fist vigorously.

In his excitement, the chair under his ass made a 'creaking' sound, as if he might collapse at any moment.

I smiled and said, "It's just ordinary military service, it's an imperial decree, and it's something that every young man in the Grimm Empire must do."

Count Desmond: "Looking forward to your joining!"

Then I asked him, "Count Desmond, are you going to return to Durva with Zach?"

Count Desmond nodded and said, "Well, I and the five thousand Constructed Knights of the Borean Legion are waiting for your arrival in the Province of Durva. ”

I laughed a little and whispered, "It is also very likely that my terms were rejected by the Duke of Samoyed, in which case all you are waiting for is a return ticket." ”

He shook his head firmly and said, "No, even if the conditions are harsh, the Duke of Samoyed will not refuse, and the Dulwa people need to regain their spirits and reap a victory." What's more, you just proposed to unite all the forces of the Hiero plane that can resist the Nibru spiders, and for the Duke of Samoyed, there is nothing wrong with that. ”

......

"Why are you drinking, did you just come back from the Hiero plane?

"The situation is not as rosy as we expected, if not a little bad, the Nibru Spiders have sent a large number of troops into the Green Valley Forest, they have defeated the native army, and have now occupied a large area to the south of the Green Valley Forest, and are advancing towards the heart of the forest. ”

"Oh my God, may Elder Singhal and their tribe be well, have your troops been withdrawn from the Green Valley Forest?"

"In fact, no, not only did they not withdraw, according to everyone's opinions, mainly the ideas of Karantso, Justus and Katarina, the orc constructing warriors and the barbarian slave regiment are currently alone in the area behind enemy lines in the southern part of the Green Valley Jungle, and they intend to cause some trouble in the area controlled by the Nibru spiders. ”
