Before parting, Caldis asked Betty, "Lord Betty, did you often go out of Hwaseong to give bread to the refugees when you were in Hwaseong?" ”

Betty's soft voice seemed to remind Caldis of the little girl in Hwaseong who gave him bread, and suddenly Caldis wanted to ask Betty if she was the cute little girl she was at the beginning.

Betty shook her head and replied lightly, "Often? No, I usually stay in the Duke's Palace and rarely go out. ”

After saying that Betty rode the horse and left, Caldis asked the knight chief behind him and said, "Knight, may I ask which noble girl of your Huacheng family will often give alms to past refugees outside the city?" ”

Hearing Caldis ask another question, Betty glanced back slightly, but she ignored it and continued on her way.

The chief knight replied heartily, "Huh? How do you say this, there are so many aristocratic girls in our Huacheng, and there are countless people who go out of the city to give bread to passers-by, which one are you talking about? What does it look like? ”

Caldis was stunned when he heard this, the little girl basically looked the same, and now in his memory the girl's face had become a little blurred, and he didn't know how to describe it, but replied: "She has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she is accompanied by guards." ”

The chief knight shook his head and replied: "Every noble girl is very beautiful, who is not accompanied by a guard, who knows who it is, I can't help you, Lord Duke." ”

Caldis nodded, so he had to give up and watched the army of the Hwaseong Knights slowly leave.

Tarrett walked over and asked in confusion, "Lord Duke, didn't you say that you should practice with each other, why did they leave so quickly?" ”

Caldis didn't say anything, just stared blankly as the people of Hwaseong walked farther and farther away.

On the north side, in the direction of the royal capital, a black knight of Tubis galloped wildly through the snow, and he roared into the gate of the royal capital, and went straight to the palace to find Prince Wakas.

Upon hearing the news of the annihilation of Quibatto's hunt, Prince Warkas was furious and reached out and slammed the wine glass on the table to the ground.

The expression on Utores became very heavy as he watched the wooden cup roll out of the palace with pimples, and then he looked up at the roof of the palace and thought: "I heard that this Spartt is also a character, but he was suppressed by his father, the Duke of Cologne, and has never had a chance to come out." ”

Warkas said angrily, "I heard? He's the winner of the last Kingdom Knight Tournament of the Knights, isn't he amazing? ”

Utores asked stunned, "The last one?" Wasn't the last knight tournament messed up by that Robit? ”

Vacas closed his eyes angrily, and replied impatiently: "You person, of course it doesn't matter if it's yellow that year, and then the previous competition." ”

"Oh!" , Utores suddenly realized, nodded again and again and replied: "Oh, it turned out to be the previous one." Yo ho, this kid didn't even go to war with the others, and he has become a scourge until now. ”

Varcas glanced at Utores and asked, "You said that if we went to give that Cologne some gifts, would he choose to be more neutral with us like Utto's Asaido?" ”

Utores shook his head and replied, "Definitely not, if he had such thoughts, how could he have executed those imperial knights of ours overnight." Although this man has an insatiable reputation for being insatiable, he is also a stubborn guy who can hardly tolerate us. ”

Warkas was a little anxious, and he asked, "How do you do that?" The Sburg army was stationed here, but there was no commander of the Knights, and if the Knight came over, it would be over. ”

Utorres was also anxious, and he replied with a sad face: "At the moment, our soldiers are tight, and most of the knights of the Crusade Legion are stationed all over the territory to maintain law and order, and these Knights will not settle down for a day. If the empire sends tens of thousands of more of our troops, what dragon city and what sunny waters, I can immediately turn them all into the end of the northern country. ”

Wakas glared at him and said, "Look at you, here you are again. I told you that if you want to rule Knight completely, you can't move those Knight people anymore. What do you say, that Borda slaughtered people's holy places, and now makes the Kite people in every territory uneasy, and makes me sleep. ”

"Father!" At this time, Varkas's daughter Fiona walked into the main hall and said to Varkas from a distance: "You might as well send someone to urge His Majesty the King to hold the Imperial Warrior Contest as soon as possible, and when the new army arrives, won't it be able to solve the big problem of your lack of soldiers?" ”

Vacas sighed and said, "Well, that's all there is to it. Ultores, you send someone to urge, bring my handwritten letter. In addition, I have issued a notice to all the Knights, strictly anyone who runs to the territory of the Knight to cause trouble, and now is an extraordinary time, we must strictly guard the territory and stop making trouble. ”

Utores stooped and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

What Wakas was worried about in the royal capital, the king who was the sixth king of Luojia was naturally very clear in his heart. Although this corrupt king only knows how to entertain with those favorite concubines all day long, he never neglects the national affairs of the empire. Since the last incident of Miller's horse trafficking, Prince Warkas has formed a team of traders from the occupied territory in order to cover up his mistakes, and has continued to engage in the business of traders, which has brought a lot of supplies to the Imperial Visa. King Luojia was full of praise for Wakas, and thought that he had done it very beautifully.

In order to cooperate with Warkass's crusade, King Luojia kept urging Byron, an important minister of the empire, to prepare for the Imperial Warrior Contest and recruit the new imperial army. King Luojia was by no means perfunctory, he reviewed the report books of various places in detail, he knew the preparations of various places well, and severely punished those nobles who did not do their best.

To form a new imperial army, the preparation of war horses is the top priority, and as Baron Woodrow, who is in charge of the Alexander family's war horse reserves, he is already busy.

Last time, Pete made him miserable, and in order to help Knight's Miller prepare for his legs, he sold 20,000 war horse reserves. Now Lord Byron has ordered the empire to form a new army of 40,000 knights, plus the supply of war horses for the Crusade Corps, and 60,000 war horses are urgently needed, which can make Woodrow very busy.

In Woodrow's ranch, there were a total of 50,000 war horses, and after Miller took away those foot strength, there were only 30,000 war horses left, and half of them were still short. In order to prepare war horses, Woodrow traveled to almost every territory of the empire, but fortunately, there were enough pastures in the empire and horse resources were abundant. When the heavy snow came, 80,000 horses were finally gathered in the pasture, and the task was completed far beyond the goal.

Woodrow was afraid that something would go wrong and anger the king, but he would implicate the whole clan and kill him, so this time in order to complete the task, he used almost all his connections. Seeing the horses settled in the pasture one after another, and the mission was successfully completed, Woodrow, who had saved the day, finally smiled happily.

At the family dinner, Woodrow said happily: "It's good to do things for Lord Byron, and the nobles will save face wherever they go." Saying that they wanted to gather 30,000 war horses, the nobles rushed one after another, and sent us 50,000 horses at one time, which was almost effortless, and I was blind and worried for a long time. ”

At the dinner table, the young Bill said, "Father, I said at the time that this matter may be a little strange. Look at it, that Miller has never been to the empire since he left, and I heard that he was made a viscount by their prince when he returned. ”

Woodrow was startled and hurriedly asked, "What?" Could it be that he really came to steal the war horse? How do you know? ”

Bill took a bite of the mutton and replied as he chewed, "My brother Hansen told me in his letter that the prince is going mad. ”

Woodrow hurriedly said, "Don't talk about it, don't let anyone know about it, understand?" ”

"I understand!" , Bill patted his ass and got up and said: "Now His Majesty the King and Lord Byron don't know about this matter yet, the prince has pushed the boat in a perfunctory past, we really can't say anything, I have explained it to my brother in my reply, and told him not to mention it to anyone in the future." ”

Woodrow nodded, he looked up at Bill and said, "You're done, eat more, Bill." ”

Bill walked with a piece of lamb and said, "That's enough, I'm almost full." The Warriors tournament is going to start soon, and I'm going to have to practice more. ”

"Oh!" , Woodrow nodded, and was about to open his mouth to eat meat, but saw Morton also get up and walk away with a piece of mutton.

Woodrow put down the man in his hand and asked loudly, "Morton, are you full too?" ”

Morton turned his head and replied, "Well, I'm going to Lianlian too." ”

"I'm going to accompany you too!" , Morton's Sophia also hurriedly got up and happily took Morton's arm and left together.

Their mother shook her head and said, "These children, really, they have to do everything together." ”

Woodrow smiled and nibbled on the mutton and said, "Hehe, isn't that good, the children are affectionate." ”

Woodrow's wife looked at Woodrow, drank the mutton soup and asked, "Let's Sophia and Bill, why don't we get married in advance for the two of them?" ”

Woodrow smiled disapprenousively: "You see you're in a hurry, no one is in a hurry, what are you anxious about." This is about to hold the Warrior Tournament, and when Bill gets a good place, can't it be done together? ”

Woodrow's wife grinned, "Okay, listen to you, hehe." ”

After arriving at the warehouse where the forage was stored, Bill picked up his spear and tried the handle, then turned to Morton who came with him and said, "Come on Morton, let's beat him for another hundred rounds." ”

"Okay!" Morton wiped his mouth and rolled up his cuffs to prepare.

Who knew that Sophia, who came with her, said coquettishly: "You guys are playing your own again, so what should I do?" ”

Morton looked back at Sophia and complained to her, "When Weston taught us, who made you look lazy and refuse to learn, otherwise we would definitely pull you along." ”

"Humph!" Sophia raised her mouth and said very unhappily: "No matter, I want to play with Bill, Brother Morton, you go to another place to practice by yourself." ”

Bill frowned and rebuked: "Sophia, don't mess around, it won't be long before the Warriors Tournament starts, we can't be lazy." ”

Sophia pursed her mouth sadly after hearing this, bowed her head and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll change places and play by myself!" Morton, who had always felt sorry for his sister, turned around and left, he carried the spear on his back, hummed a prairie tune as he went, and got into the snow outside the door.

The Woodrow family's ranch was very large, and there were many large warehouses for storing forage for livestock, so Morton went to a nearby warehouse and practiced his guns by himself.

After seeing her brother leave, Sophia snuggled up to Bill like a bird, which made Bill very helpless.

The two sat on the haystack and began to chat happily.

Sophia coquettishly said, "Bill, the girl from the ranch next door got married at the age of twelve, when are you going to marry me?" ”

Bill said thoughtfully, "Wait a little longer, wait until I'm done with the Warriors." ”

"I'm not waiting!" Sophia said angrily: "If you get a good ranking in the Warrior Competition, you will definitely be appointed as the head of the Knight Order, and then you will follow the prince to the east." ”

Bill smiled and asked, "What?" You don't want your husband to be a hero, don't you want to be the wife of the regiment leader? ”

Sophia suddenly burst into laughter after hearing this, she hid in Bill's arms, and replied very shyly, "Yes, hehe." ”

Looking at Sophia's shy appearance, Bill was a little excited, he couldn't help but reach out and hug Sophia, kiss her tightly with his lips, and fell on the haystack with her.

Although Bill is also Sophia's older brother, he and his brother Hansen are only Woodrow's adopted sons, and Bill has grown up with Sophia since childhood, and the relationship between the two has always been so close.

Everyone in the ranch knows that the two of them are lovers, childhood sweethearts, and they are the herdsmen's favorite couple.

However, when Bill decides to follow in the footsteps of his brother Hansen and enlist in the Imperial army, many things are not as simple as they seem.
