"I'm still wondering if to bring the Knights of Hell to the front and let them go through the battlefield, at least in the pre-war preparation phase," Feige said. He and Shani rode in an open-top carriage and followed a convoy of supplies from the front. "Although the study of magic is important, the Knights of Hell are essentially an army rather than a student, and the cultivation of the battlefield is not lacking at all. ”

In the bright morning light, Feige's face was reddened, making him look high-spirited. As the magic advisor of the King's Inner Court, he is already the most important member of the top power circle of the Hoya Noble United Kingdom, and his blood relationship with His Majesty the King makes this position extremely secure, not to mention that he has a strong strength to back him up, he has the capital to be vigorous.

This time to the Lighthouse Territory, Feige will make peace with Earl Hall, and the father and son will manage an army of 20,000 people, which is a force to be reckoned with for the United Kingdom or the Holy See, and he is still considering whether to continue to increase the weight. "Xiani, what do you think about calling a few hell knights who have been trained well and who have been on the battlefield or mercenary in the past? ”

"I don't really understand the military affairs, but you'd better talk to the Earl first. When the Knights of Hell come, are you going to join the army, or will you become your own soldiers?" Shani tucked her foot under Feige's mage robes, scratching his ankle slightly. She teased Fitch down there all the way, but she couldn't hear the mood swings from her steady voice. "If it's a pro-soldier, then there's no point in exercising, right?"

Feige nodded. He turned his face slightly sideways, avoiding the direct rays of the morning light. In many legends, Dawn is a sword used by righteous gods to break through evil darkness, and is useful against demons and the undead. Feige thinks this is complete nonsense, that only humans feel uncomfortable in the morning light, and that he is now using his human form.

From the side, Feige's face was tired. He hadn't slept well last night, and his strength hadn't recovered, which had nothing to do with the person who was scratching him with his toes. "Well, my mind is almost out of mind right now, let me rest for a while. ”

Xia Ni tilted her head slightly, the corners of her mouth curled under the veil, but she didn't withdraw her feet, she just stopped moving. Between her hands, a white silk vest was taking shape. The bumps in the road didn't affect the stability of her hands, but the sudden sudden stopping.

"What's going on?" Feige looked ahead. The supply team seemed to come to a complete halt, and all he could see was a gentle knoll, and the congestion seemed to be happening on the opposite side of the knoll. "Sam, go see what's going on, stay safe. ”

Sam fastened the reins and lowered the post to the side to allow the carriage to be secured. He then jumped from the driver's position, and with one hand he held down his fur hat with a wide brim of the sun, and ran forward. But before he could run up the hill, the team began to move again. Sam paused and thought for a few seconds, then ran back with his hat covered.

"My lord," he said, panting a little, "since we can move forward, we will find out what is going on when we climb uphill in a moment." ”

"It's getting smarter. Fei Qi complimented: "According to your previous character, you must have to run to the front to see what is going on." ”

"My lord, in fact, there are too few people around you. If there's a coachman who can take care of you, I'll be sure I'll be right back. Sam said, "It's just that as soon as the team walks, if the adult's carriage doesn't move, you're definitely in a bad mood, so I'm here." ”

"Do you think there are fewer people around me? Actually, what you want to ask is why Xia Ni's maids didn't come with me, right?"

"Don't laugh at me, sir. If you want to go to the front line this time, you can't take a maid with you, I still know that. Sam scratched his hair lightly and said, "Although my lord has not inherited the title yet, the inner court spell advisor is already very powerful, and I am a little less than one retinue, and I can't take care of many things." I'm running around for nothing, but I'm afraid that there will be fewer people to delay your business. And...... And the pomp and circumstance are not enough. I'm just a coachman, and there is no one waiting for me, so it's better to go with us in the carriage of transport. ”

"I already feel like the pomp and circumstance is too big. Sam, have you forgotten what happened when I wanted to talk to someone?"

This time, the troops came from various nobles in the United Kingdom, and the supplies were no exception, and the people in the convoy were also sent by various nobles to serve the king. Feige wanted to ask them if they had grown potatoes, what the harvest was, and if the roads were good. However, the people and commanders of the supply convoy did not dare to talk to him at all, and it was difficult to even make eye contact. They would only answer perfunctorily, saying as little as possible, with obvious fear on their faces, and they all wanted to avoid him as soon as possible. These people seemed to be afraid of putting Feige in a bad mood and killing them with a word, or at least a whip - not even the bad demons in hell were so miserable.

"My lord, in fact, they are afraid of anyone in the car, these people don't know heraldry, they can't read the Hall family badge, they just feel scared. If you have more followers, let them spread out and ask questions, and you're sure to get helpful answers. ”

"But it's so inefficient. After Feige finished speaking, he also found it bored, so he stopped the conversation.

The carriage stopped and went, and finally came to the top of the hill. Looking down from here, there is an intersection not far away, where a truck has overturned, and a group of people is parked at the intersection. Although the thirty or so men were fully armed, their armor and weapons were not uniform, and their formation was relatively scattered, obviously not a regular knightly or aristocratic army, very much like a mercenary army. At the intersection, two soldiers of the convoy sat on the ground, covering their bruised and swollen heads, while three other soldiers were arguing with the group of mercenaries. It seems that the conflict they had before affected the passage of the road, but fortunately the conflict did not expand.

"Shanny, is that tall man in brown leather armor Bennie? ”

Looking over at Feige's finger, Shani let out a whisper of surprise. Among the three Shani sisters, Anne travels with Joe Duo, and some time ago they came to Port Tawu to visit the sea monster Haydes, and also met with Shani. The two men have not given up on their dream of going to sea in a boat, and are currently pondering the feasibility of turning the giant sea beast into a means of transportation.

Shani is completely used to living a smooth life by Feige's side, and with a sense of belonging, she has let go of her past life goals, but Beni is different. She is not ready to stop, and still regards "finding the biological father of her sisters" as a very important thing. During her time in Minas Ihir, Beni mingled with local adventurers, mercenaries, and caravan guards, and sniffed out rumors from them. Later, she directly set up her own mercenary team, and while continuing simple tasks, she went to various places to find clues. It's been a long time since I heard from her.

"Sam, find a place to park your car in a moment and stay out of the way. Feige stood up and stretched hard, the bones rattling all over his body. "Xia Ni, let's walk over, we can be faster than the car. ”

The altercation at the intersection continues, with the soldiers of the supply convoy demanding compensation from the mercenaries for the damage caused by the overturned car, while Bennie says that it was just an accident and not their responsibility.

The truck overturned because the wheels were shattered, and it was filled with barrels of cheese, and about seven or eight barrels of large pieces of cheese fell into the mud ditch by the roadside, and the surface was covered with black mud, and many of them were crushed. Because the cheese was a very valuable food in the barracks, neither the sergeant of the escort nor the farmer driving the cart could afford the loss, and the matter had to be linked to the mercenaries. At the same time, they must not rush the mercenaries or scare them away, at least not until reinforcements arrive.

"We didn't hit it at all. By the time we met the team, we had already stopped at this side of the intersection and waited for you to pass. Benny spread out her hands and shouted anxiously: "Qi Fei, who drove the car for us, is a mule, and has always been very tame, and her reins have always been in my hand, and she has not moved at all, how can she crash into your car?"

The mercenaries behind Benny crossed their arms and looked at the soldiers opposite, their faces were not good-looking, and they seemed to be resentful in their hearts. A burly human man seemed to be leading them, waving his hand downwards to calm down, not to clash, and not to touch the weapon. "It's all about serving His Majesty the King, and there's something to say. ”

But the point is that talking about it doesn't solve the problem. Feige told Shani to go first, then walked around to the overturned truck and leaned down to check. The wheels were shattered, the hubs were dented inward, and that was all the information Feige had gotten. With this, he can't tell who's right and who's wrong, but he has the power to make everything okay.

"Earth Elemental Bondage!" Feige waved his cat teaser. Now this cat teasing stick is the same as the pit sword, Fei Qi, who doesn't like the state of turning his mind and demons, only works in the state of humans or the three desires, and the efficiency is still high and low. Generally speaking, the Pit Excalibur likes Fei Qi in the state of the Six-White Winged Pseudo-Blazing Celestial Servant the most, and the cat teaser likes the human form the most. Performing magic in a human state, the cat teaser will even make a "hehe" laugh, but it never admits it, saying only that it is Feige's auditory hallucination.

Brown earth tentacles rose from the side of the overturned car, snapped around it, and began to pull. Under Feige's command, the car was quickly straightened, and then the earth rising from below supported the body. Feige then casts a "repair" spell on the broken wheels, controlling the fragments to fly back to their original positions one by one. He scavenged the material from the broken barrel and attached it to the original wheel like a patch. After that, he grabbed it with his left hand and activated the "Law Armament" seal, strengthening the entire wheel, allowing the patch and the wheel to form a whole and continue to reinforce. After a while, although this wheel looked very unsightly, as if it was made by goblins and kobolds, it was definitely strong enough, and there was absolutely no problem carrying engineering vehicles.

If Kazmuk had been here, he would have done better. Although Feige is also a craftsman, his specialty lies in designing and manufacturing spell-type items, rather than being a wheelmaker. Feige was also unhappy with his work, after all, he had a (self-perceived) sleek appearance, with the momentum of "just leave the whole thing to me", but left a crooked wheel...... At this time, a thought appeared in his mind: If I regarded the carriage as a golem, would my craftsmanship be much better?

It's a pity that time doesn't allow him to carve the golem slowly, and the cheese in the mud is still waiting for him to save it. Scoop up chunks of cheese with a telekinesis, and use the power of the elements to condense balloons to clean the cheese and scrape away stubborn stains. Everyone watched as Feige put on a "show" as he packed up most of the cheese chunks and stacked them on the wagon racks.

"Some of them were too broken, and when they were washed, they probably disappeared with the muddy water. Feige said to both sides: "Move the car out of the way first, so that the team can pass more easily." ”

"Lord Hall," the guards must have learned Feiqi's identity from Shani, so they took off their helmets and came to him hunched, "I didn't know they were your friends, so ......"

"They're not my friends, that's the only one I know. Feige frowned: "Okay, hurry up and pack up and keep up with the team, the two injured ones will be moved to my carriage, and I will treat them in a while." Remember, no matter how big the loss is, don't stand in the way of the team yet. As for these losses, you say that I took them and I want to eat them. ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you, I'll just push the car away. As for these two unlucky guys, they are not seriously injured, I will take them to be treated, and I dare not bother the adults. ”

"Do as I say and move them to my car. Feige's eyes widened. The fact that the matter can be solved does not mean that the matter has already fallen into place, and it is good to leave two people to ask about the situation. He then turned to Beni, looked at her and Xia Ni's two hands that were intimately holding together, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, it seems that you are doing well!"

"It's okay!" Benny hugged Xia Ni over: "Xia Ni is still fleshy, which means that you take good care of it! ”

"Huh?" Feige's smile crooked, and he said, "Did I make any mistakes?

"It's not about it. Benny smiled and shook her fist like an excited child: "You promised to help us find our father, but nothing has been progressed, right?

Shanny was just as stunned as Feige, and she broke free as Benny turned around, grabbed Feige's arm, and hid half of her body behind him. Bennie smiled and waved her hand, calling the tall, burly man over. It was a kind guy with thick eyebrows, deep eye sockets, and a big nose, and his black hair was grayed in many places, and a cross-shaped scar was etched on his chin, leaving a piece of his beard missing.

"Marellis, mercenary of the West Valley, I heard Beni talk about you. The man held out his hand, greeting Feige like mercenaries greet each other rather than commoners to nobles. The stout hand, covered in calluses and scars from the use of the sword, hung in mid-air in front of Feige.

Feige frowned. The Shani sisters all grew up on Elven Island, and they were told that they were half-sisters, and they were all brought to Elven Island by their respective fathers to send samples. The elves found them from the shore every time, with the same letter by their side. If Benny hadn't found the wrong person, the man named Marellis would have been her own...... Father-in-law?

It stands to reason that shaking hands doesn't matter to Feige, although he has been a nobleman all his life, and he remembers all kinds of etiquette rules clearly, but his pride is never based on being a nobleman. Drinking with mercenaries and talking with farmers is fine. But this time, for some reason, Feige intuitively hated this Marellis.

So, Feige put the cat teasing stick in his palm, shook his hand indirectly, and immediately pulled it back. He tilted his head to look at Beni, the smile on his face already retracted, "Are you sure you're right?"

"I asked the priest of the Holy Three Castle to perform the blood spell, and it cost a full fifteen hundred gold coins! ”
