Count Colossius' winter hunt was over, and apart from hunting a few hares and a warthog, the biggest reward was the 'poacher' Kroll who followed him to Jaffin Castle.

Along the way, Count Coulosius inquired very intently about the situation on the northern shore of Santa Cana Lake in Croll, and seemed to refuse to let go of any detail, asking them one by one. Kroll also took the trouble to repeat the scene on the north shore of Lake Santa Cana again and again, so much so that Kroll was free to begin to add some irrelevant embellishments to the plot he described.

"Farmer Kroll, can you stop bragging? Thank you so much. "Count Colossius worriedly led Kroll into Jaffen's castle, not showing any interest in Kroll's description of 'catching a goblin with a rod and punching the goblin into the lake'.

"My lord, what about the prey?" One of the Yafen guards asked him about the game he was carrying on his horse.

"The warthogs were given to the priests of the church of Yafen, the hares were given to my cooks, and the prey of the guards was their own. Don't bother me with that. Count Colossius waved his hand impatiently to the guard behind him, and then pressed Kroll to sit down on the castle bench, and he yelled with a displeased expression at the butler who had added firewood to the fireplace in the castle hall, "Butler, you must put down what you are doing for me, and then go to Matt Wilder's mansion to find him at once, and let him meet me at the castle!" And the one-eyed dragon baron who summoned me to Blanin in Perland! ”

"Your lord, you'd better write a letter for me to bring to His Excellency Baron Perland." The butler rubbed his hands together as if he was a little helpless, he knew that it was customary for the lord and the vassal to summon the baron according to the rules and the count himself to revise the book.

"If the bald guy asks you why you didn't bring my letter, tell him that I held back his athlete's foot when the Horn Mountain Post House. This matter is urgent! Just go! Cullosius roared at the butler, who had already realized that his count was extremely depressed, as if something important had happened, and ran out of the castle after nodding in a panic.

Kroll, who sat alone on the castle bench, peeked at Count Colossius' movements from time to time, his face pale, his lips chapped, his heels shaking, and his tattered leather boots clattering slightly against the tiles of the castle floor. Count Culosius, not too far from him, paced back and forth by the fireplace two or three times, and stood in front of the fireplace in a daze, until the servants of the court of Jaffin brought him several glasses of El Tora on a silver tray, and he lifted up his hand to pick up a glass.

"Your Excellency, do you want to take it?" The court servant of the Earl of Yafen walked up to Kroll in an orderly manner, leaned forward slightly, and politely asked Kroll, who was sitting on the bench.

Flattered, Kroll almost jumped up from the bench and waved his hand repeatedly, "No, thank you!" Mr. I'm not thirsty. ”

Everything seemed to be still in the quiet castle of Jafen, except for the crackling of firewood and the sound of burning firewood, Kroll felt as if he was in the catacombs beneath the church.

A moment of waiting seemed like a few springs, summers, autumns and winters, until the sound of clanging iron boots on the ground sounded, and Count Colossius suddenly turned away from the fireplace, "You came in time, 'Captain', I really feel that the former Captain of Yafen is really worthy of your reaction." ”

"My lord, what do you need to order to summon me to your castle in such a hurry?" Mart was dressed in a military uniform, but he couldn't hide the hunter-like eyes on his face, and his quick eyes quickly caught the hidden clues on Count Colossius's flushed face, and he could feel that Count Colossius had something to say.

"Do you know the beacon fire that was lit on the top of Santa Kana a few days ago? At least I don't know. Cullosius looked at his general with a solemn expression, a little angry, "Why don't you come and report to me?" ”

"This is not my domain, and I don't think it's necessary to report it to you, my lord. The beacons that were lit are supposed to be a rebellion in the Gelder region, and I've sent scouts to check on Geld. Mart was a little melancholy for a moment, he didn't know why Count Culosius in front of him was angry, everything he did was completely according to the order.

Kroll sat on the bench, his eyes straight, as if he had been coldly beaten aside by the Count and his general.

"I don't think the scouts you sent will come back. You can pay a pension to his dependents in advance under the new law of Affin Lawrence. Although Count Colossius's face was always red, this red could not hide the indifference he showed at this time.

"Forgive me, my lord, for I don't understand why you say that." Mart straightened her back for a moment, and looked at the Aphin heraldic coat of arms hanging above the fireplace, but there was no writing written on it.

"Is that why you overlooked? Thankfully, the 'poacher' who sat on the bench I hunted during my winter hunt thanks to Arcana, Ah, Farmer Kroll. It was only then that I learned about the thrilling events that took place on the north shore of Santa Kana. Count Coulosius raised his voice, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the courtier and general in front of him, and he pointed to the farmer Kroll who was sitting on the bench, and then scolded, "You, the 'captain', and your younger brother, the 'strong man', are both characters carved out of the same mold!" I suggest you ask this farmer named Kroll, and you will find out what is really going on on the north shore of Santa Kana, and I doubt that the Fender Fortress and the surrounding surveillance posts entrusted to you have fulfilled their obligations to me. Asleep? ”

Mart finally moved her gaze to the humble farmer Kroll on the bench, who was thin and honest, and looked wooden and sluggish, and his simple clothes were a big hole in his leather boots, even though there were patches on the left and right around him, making Mart seem to see himself living in Lucy's woodland.

"Hey, Farmer Kroll, come here. Tell me about the general you saw fishing for goblins on the northern shore of Lake Santa Cana! Count Colossius beckoned to Kroll, who quickly got up from the bench, saluted the count and Mart in a funny manner, and then gave an account of the whole situation on the north shore of Lake Santa Cana.

"This" Kroll's description gave Mart goosebumps all over his body, his trembling limbs seemed to have fallen from the sky, and he looked at Count Culotsius in front of him in despair, and he was speechless for a while.

"Matt Wilder, when I heard Kroll's report during the winter hunt, I felt the urge to screw your head off." Count Colossius clenched his fists, glared angrily at Mart in front of him, remembering all the hard work that Mart and Romins the Robust Man had done for him when he was a baron, and then sighed, he knew that it was obviously the best strategy to rashly execute one of his left and right arms now, and after a fierce inner struggle, mercy finally prevailed, he raised his hand and nodded Matt's forehead heavily, and the beads of sweat dripping from Matt's forehead moistened Culosius's fingers, " Since Yafen and Entre must suffer this calamity, even if they were prepared, they would not be able to guard against such a powerful intruder, they came prepared, and we were caught off guard. ”

"Count! I am willing to pay with my life for my dereliction of duty! Matt's eyes were red, and she raised her hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, "The Divind Fortress is here, and I am still there." If the fortress of Diffender is dead, I will die! ”

"If I really want you to die, you have to die now! But Mart, I want you to live, and you must immediately rush to the fortress of Difender and its surroundings to set up defenses, and besides, the farmer called Kroll will be handed over to you, and I want you to have people rescue the people of the lakeside village safely. I'll clean up the rest of the myself! Count Colossius grabbed Mart by the shoulder and patted him heavily, "Remember, you must guard the barrier of Yafen for me, otherwise everything about you Mart will be forever stained with honor!" ”

"Lord, I will definitely keep in mind what you said, and hold the barrier of Yafen firmly!" With tears in her eyes, Mart bowed deeply to Coolosius.

"I hope you don't let me down. Kroll, follow my general, and he will provide you and all of your lakeside village as shelter as possible. Count Culosius turned, turned his back to Mart and Kroll, and waved his hand for them to stand aside, and he gazed alone at the coat of arms of the Arfen on the fireplace, the brown diagonal stripes and the white background seemed to give him hope, and he remembered the poem that had been sung in the streets of Entre, and the melodious tone echoed in his ears.

The dwarves of Shanyanguan picked up their battle axes,

They rushed out of Lucy Cilin with a cry,

The red boar wakes up from its sleep,

The camp has long been turned upside down,

The officer called out to the warrior,

The warriors could not find their weapons.

The ghost of Yafen is up and down,

Jim, the son of Sherlock, fell in a pool of blood,

Delclowe defected and defected,

Baron Horton panicked,

Only Red Boar Hunter was angry,

Hold the sword and Walker to the death,

The Frost Sword slashed the Crimson Sword,

The blood of the red boar of Entre was spilled in the army.

"Arno, I really hope you come to Yafen soon, I want to compose a hymn for Culosius, of course I hope it will work, and not be an elegy for Yafin." Kulosius pressed the recast Eastheme family heirloom sword at his waist, and quickly pulled it out, the mirror-like blade reflected on Kulosius's red face, and Kulosius's fingers gently and gently slashed through the blood groove of the blade and finally landed on the pale sapphire on the hilt, "O pale blue star from Ozul Blue, the shining star of the gem, please bring me the luck of the Isttam family." May Yafen survive this impending storm of the storm. ”
