Simon was like a benefactor to Hwaseong, and Betty did not forget Simon's great contribution to the defense of Hwaseong.

In the evening, Betty personally sent Simon to a compound that had been specially prepared for Simon by the Duke's Palace. The nobles of the kingdom like to have beautiful women to serve them, and Betty asked without hesitation: "Lord Simon, stay here to rest in peace, and I will ask Salas to send two beautiful women to serve you, Salas is very good at this, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied." ”

Simon frowned and stared at Betty, pondered for a while, and then said, "Lord Betty, I, Simon, am a nobleman, but I have never been contaminated with the vices of these old nobles. The woman is exempt, just bring me some delicious wine and meat. ”

Betty smiled cheerfully, "Haha, okay then. The wine and meat must be enough, this Lord Simon don't worry, my Huacheng is rich in materials, what do you want, you just ask. ”

Simon nodded, frowned again and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Betty, you are very skilled in swordsmanship, I don't know which master taught it." ”

Betty was embarrassed after hearing this, and she replied shyly: "Where are we masters in Huacheng, this is all because I usually watch the knights practice swords, and I follow the groping to learn to play." In the past, my mother always complained to me, saying that girls shouldn't like these things, but this time it came in handy. ”

After saying that, Betty bent her knees and saluted, this is a popular way of saluting for women in Knightland, this kind of demeanor is very delicate when used on a woman, coupled with Betty's perfect figure and stunning appearance, Simon is pleasing to the eye.

After the salute, Betty said, "Simeon, rest well, and we'll see you tomorrow morning." Betty smiled back at Simon, turned around and walked away with the guard.

Simon was in a cheerful mood, and he saw a lot of different things from Betty, and he also ignited a little confidence in Knight from his heart.

Such a young aristocratic girl, who stood up when her people were in danger, showed far more courage and majesty than her brother Salas. Since a girl can do this, Simon, as a civil magistrate in Reesburg, feels very uneasy and guilty about the idea of living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

I don't know if the Duke of Hwaseong Mansion will continue to appoint himself in the future, Simon, who was lying on the bed, thought about this question repeatedly, and in his heart he had already recognized Betty as the master, and he really wanted to stay and do something for the Duke of Hwaseong Mansion and Betty.

The daytime battle was too tiring, and in a blink of an eye, Simon fell asleep in a daze. At night, Simon had a dream in which he stood in front of the thousands of horses, under Betty's tent, in a final battle with the fierce barbarians. Simon appears confident that if he wins this war, Knight will succeed in driving out the barbarians, which is a great pattern created by Lord Betty, and evokes a new rise in the declining world of Knight.

Dreams are beautiful, and in dreams Simon is omnipotent, and he is invincible in slashing enemies and attacking cities. When Simon planted the Gundam Knight Lion Banner on the head of the royal capital, a sharp sound of horses' hooves woke him from his dream, and the shouts of the guards came from outside the door: "Lord Simon, the bandits have come to the south of the city early in the morning to shout, Lord Betty tells you to hurry over to the head of the city." ”

Simon jumped out of the bed as soon as he rolled over, and with the help of the guards, he quickly put on his clothes and armor, and drove his horse out of the compound as fast as possible.

When climbing the city wall, Betty was already sitting at the head of the city in armor, and when she saw Simon rushing over, Betty smiled and asked, "Lord Simon, did you sleep soundly last night?" ”

Simon lifted his helmet and replied casually: "Well, very down-to-earth, I dreamed that you captured the royal capital." ”

I didn't expect Simon to answer like this, which made Betty feel shocked, and she didn't know if Simon was joking with herself, or if she really had this strange dream.

Simon frowned, carefully inspected the group of bandits in the south of the city, and soon asked Betty: "What are they doing, yesterday such a big formation was lost to us, and today they came to shout at us, and there are only so many people." ”

Betty sneered: "I don't know if I'm alive or dead, I came to us to eat again, and I said that I would fight if I didn't give it." ”

Simon was very annoyed after hearing this, he leaned against the edge of the city wall and yelled at the bandits not far away: "Yesterday, I spared you once in Huacheng, and I didn't kill you all, you still dare to come to look for death, don't you want to live one by one?" ”

The bandits on the opposite side were a little panicked, but at this time, a middle-aged man raised a spear to show the crowd, and many bandits instantly calmed down.

The man stepped forward, rode his horse and stood at the forefront of the bandit army, saluted the people at the head of the city, and said, "Thank you to the Duke's Mansion of Hwaseong for showing mercy to your brothers yesterday, and I hope that the Duke's Mansion will give us some food to live in for the sake of us living in the territory of Hwaseong." ”

Betty replied coldly: "Joke, my Duke Mansion of Hwaseong has nothing to do with you bandits." One by one, you hide in the mountains to eat and be lazy, and you don't rely on your own efforts to cultivate and make a living, just thinking about grabbing ready-made. There is no such good thing in the world. ”

The bandit man sighed and said, "We are just some people who are suffering and have to go into the mountains to become bandits because of the necessity of life. If the lords of the territory are willing to give us people a way to live, who will carry their heads to do this kind of stealing business, I don't believe you go to all parts of Hwaseong to see how hard the life of those farmers is. ”

Betty rebuked without hesitation: "In this world, there are many wars and wars, and all territories have fallen, which family is not living like a year." Today you bring people to threaten the food you want, and tomorrow others will come to my Huacheng to toss like this, what are you in my Huacheng Duke's Mansion, is it your granary? I already said this yesterday, and this is the last time I will say it to you, and you are welcome to call me Huacheng again. ”

The bandit man's expression began to stiffen, but he still saluted, and then said coldly: "We people have been hungry for a few days and have nothing to eat, since Huacheng will not be saved when we see death, instead of starving to death on the side of the road, then it is better to have a fish with you to break the net, anyway, it is dead horizontally and vertically, sorry!" ”

After saying that, the man hurriedly turned around and commanded the troops like bandits.

Simon was stunned after reading it, and he whispered to Betty: "Lord Betty, this person should be telling the truth, if Hwaseong has enough reserves, can we consider giving them some food?" There's no need to make a river of blood flow in front of Hwaseong Castle. ”

Betty replied calmly: "I do have enough food in Huacheng, but even if I give it, I can't give it in this way, otherwise outsiders will think that my Huacheng is scared and do it." For those who dare to trample on the dignity of our Hwaseong, we will never compromise even if we fight to the last person, this is our Betty's bottom line, and it is also our Hwaseong's bottom line. ”

Simon was more worried, not because he was worried about what would happen in Hwaseong, but because he was worried about so many innocent lives in front of the city walls. What the man said was indeed right, these bandits were originally the suffering people of the kingdom, and they had no choice but to become bandits. Now that the kingdom has fallen, the territories have fallen, and the nobles' lives have become very difficult, how can there be any convoy materials for them to rob, so now the life of the bandits can no longer be maintained, so they thought of coming to Huacheng to gather people to beg.

It's just that the methods used by these people are a bit excessive, and to a large extent, they do deceive no one in Hwaseong, so it's no wonder Betty is so annoyed. Simon had a plan in his mind, and immediately begged Betty and said, "In this way, Lord Betty, in order to avoid innocent people dying in battle, we might as well have a one-on-one battle with these people and divide the victory and defeat in the form of a kingdom duel." At that time, as long as we win Hwaseong, it will be a defeat of this group of bandits, and then Hwaseong will be merciful and reward them with some food, what do you think? ”

Betty nodded and said, "Well, it's a good idea, so let's do it." ”

Simon immediately opened his throat and said to the bandit and the man, "Since you insist on being an enemy of Hwaseong, then we Hwaseong will accompany you at any time." I think that all of you are all members of my Nate tribe, and I am sorry for my ancestors and all Knights for killing each other. I hope that this war will not be the same as yesterday, with rivers of blood and so many innocent lives sacrificed. It is better for the representatives of each of our two sides to fight alone and decide the victory by duel, which will only benefit you and not harm. If you really rise up and attack it, even you people will only be sent to death when you come. ”

After hearing this, the man immediately waved his hand to let the bandits stand by, and he saluted and said, "This lord is so courageous, he is worthy of being a member of the Duke's Mansion of Hwaseong." In this way, we will decide the winner by duel, so that we can avoid the loss of life. Please, my lords in the Duke's Palace. ”

Betty turned around and went down to the city without saying a word, and Simon hurriedly followed behind him and led the knights out of the south gate of Huacheng.

Outside the city gate, the Hwaseong knights lined up, and with the cooperation of the archers at the head of the city, a tight defensive formation was formed, which made it impossible for the bandits to start even if they were cheating. The bandits also approached in formation, confronting the Hwaseong knights face to face, leaving a fifty-meter open space in the middle for a duel.

A small leader of the bandits walked out with a big grin, and shouted very proudly: "Come on, who is not afraid of death will come and fight with me for a few rounds first, so that you know how powerful your grandfather and my big axe are." ”

Before Betty could react, Simon immediately turned over and dismounted, and rushed over with a spear.

Although Simon was a civil magistrate in Lysburg, the spear in his hand was amazing. Not long after the duel began, the mighty Simon subdued the bandit to the ground with only two shots, stepped on the bandit's face with one foot, and shouted to the bandits: "What are you doing with so many flowers, if you want to fight, take advantage of the early, send me the most powerful, don't waste time." ”

After saying that, Simon flew up and kicked the little leader off the ground, and fell hard in front of the bandits.

The bandits let out a burst of exclamation, they didn't expect that there were such powerful young people in Hwaseong, which surprised everyone.

In the end, the man walked out with a gun, and he saluted and said, "I have never heard of such a powerful person as you in the Duke's Palace in Hwaseong, who are you?" ”

Simon replied, "Well, I am Simon of Reesburg, and now I am temporarily loyal to the Duke's Palace of Hwaseong. ”

The man reprimanded again and again: "It's also the Duke's Mansion of Hwaseong, and I actually asked Simon from Reesburg to help." If that's the case, then I'll also go to the heroes in the south mountain of Dragon City to help fight, this duel can be fought. ”

Nanshan in the territory of Dragon City is the nest of bandits, although the bandits in Huacheng have nothing to do with them, but they can also be regarded as the same dog. But if you really want to let those bandit leaders in Longcheng Nanshan help in the war, this duel is not a way, if you can't quickly deal with these bandits, it will be extremely disadvantageous to the Duke of Longcheng's mansion.

The man's words were obviously for Betty, and it seems that he also knew Simon from Reesburgh, and seemed to be a little jealous of Simon this man.

At this time, Betty suddenly spoke: "Okay, you are a bandit, and you know how to use stratagems, do you mean to deceive me that there is no one to fight in the Duke's Mansion of Huacheng?" ”

The bandit man smiled and said quietly: "This duel was proposed by your Duke's Mansion, of course we have to do things according to the rules, our own affairs in Huacheng will be solved by our Huacheng people, how can he Simon, a person born in Reesburg, represent your Duke's Mansion in Huacheng?" Even if you win this duel, I'm afraid that your Duke's Mansion will not be convincing! ”

Simon sneered: "You still use the agitation method, it's not easy." What, are you afraid of me Simon? ”

"Afraid of you?" , The bandit man shook his head and said, "I have seen your shot just now, but that's it, you may not be my opponent." It's just that this matter has to be done according to the rules, there is nothing for you here, you can end up. ”

Simon was very embarrassed, but he didn't expect this thief to talk about morality, and there was really nothing he could do about him for a while.

Betty also walked out with a gun, and she said to Simon: "I'll convince him to lose today, Lord Simon, you go back to the team to rest first, let me come." ”

"Lord Betty, ...... you", Simon was immediately interrupted by Betty waving his hand, and kept gesturing Simon to retreat.

Simon had no choice but to turn around and stand aside and wait to see what happened.
