days later,

It is not far from the stronghold of Havier, where more than 200 knights were involved, and it was originally a transportation artery hundreds of years ago, but with the drying up of the river and several wars, the fortified fortress was abandoned for a long time, and even some broken stone bricks were used by some local feudal lords to build their own castles. 【Latest Chapter Reading.】>

Now, however, the dead fortress seemed to have been revitalized once again, with ornate shield-shaped flags hanging from the outer walls, carpets from the East laid on the cold, gray rocky floor, and craftsmen working to repair and rebuild holes and breakages everywhere.

This place is about to become a bridgehead for the war with the Dead Council, and these days, more than a hundred elite knights have been gathered from all over the alliance, plus the subordinate knights and low-ranking militia guards, the total number has exceeded two thousand.

In the council hall, there was a chill on the ground splashed by the clear water, and the high-ranking knight Alex turned around, he slammed his fist on the hard long black wooden table, and said: "The number of the Dead Council will definitely not be very large, if I were the commander, I would attack as soon as possible, and I would not sit back and watch our people repair the castle here and gather people, so if we attack now, then it will definitely receive miraculous results, what do you think?"

On either side of the long table sat a dozen knights, sitting on the left and right of the high-ranking mid-rank knight Cyril and the high-ranking low-ranking knight Colin, plus Alex, who were now the three highest-ranking knights in the castle.

Knight Colin was tall and thin, with a pair of glasses that did not match his knightly status, he obviously did not agree with this opinion, and retorted: "This may also be an illusion made by the Dead Council, don't forget how the previous knight team of two hundred people was destroyed, what we need now is to fight steadily, the Holy See has agreed to send assistance, the nearest monk Mogo Watts will arrive soon, with the assistance of the priesthood, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and the chances of victory will be greater." ”

Cyril Knight is Alex's friend, although his personal relationship is very good, but he has always had something to say, for this matter, he also favored Colin's opinion, nodded and persuaded: "Alex, I'm afraid it's not a good idea to attack now, do you want to think about it again?"

Alex snorted and said disdainfully: "Didn't Morgowards' guards lose most of them in the battle of the dragon slayer? ”

Knight Colin frowned, he shook his head and said, "I don't know where Knight Alex got the news from, the guards led by Brother Morgowatts are mainly composed of paladins and a few priests, and the rest are a large number of Templar swordsmen and priests, which are very powerful, and in addition, the other two monks of the Holy See will also ......"

"That's enough!" Si waved his hand to stop the other from continuing, he stepped down from the main seat, came to stand behind Colin, and then put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Knight Collin, I remember that you have been fighting against the swamp people in the south, don't you still understand the importance of the warplane? once you lose it, you will never be able to get it again, it is a portrayal of the situation in front of you," he pointed to the badge on Colin's chest, and said, "Don't you want to add another badge, or are you satisfied with this?"

Colin placed one hand on the hilt of his sword. The other hand pushed his glasses and said, "The so-called ground fighter is equal to risk." As for the coat of arms. I think it is good to carry out the orders of my superiors in a head-on fight. It is much more useful than personal martial arts. That's where the badge makes sense. ”

Alex patted Corinland on the shoulder. There was a fierce glint in his eyes. He wanted to kill this man right away. But it's not just the three of them. There were also a dozen knight captains. He wouldn't dare do that anyway. He licked his chapped lips. Just as he was about to use some impassioned arguments to encourage the knights around him. An attendant hurried into the chamber. Straighten up and say, "My lord." Friar Barbrosa is about to arrive tonight. This time, he will also be in the field. ”

There was a cheer in the chamber. Alex froze in place.

One of the knight captains said, "Since Friars Barbrosa is about to arrive. Shall we wait for him to come before we decide?"

The knights of the nearby lands also chimed in. Colin was also smiling. But it looks a little proud.

Alex's face suddenly became a little ugly. He glared at Colin a few times. He had never gotten the news before. But this guy used to be the clerk of the Barbrosa Place. Definitely knows the inside story. He must have carried out the orders of the Barbrosa land before. But he didn't say anything. That's obviously to embarrass yourself.

After returning to his accommodation, a distraught Alex kept walking around the room, his eyes changing and seemingly thinking about something important.

The captain of the guard standing on the side whispered, "My lord, you don't seem to be very happy?"

Alex stopped, and he suddenly asked out of his head, "What do you think of the selection of the chief monk this time?"

The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, he scratched his head, and said with a smile: "My lord, it seems that it is not my turn to comment on a small person. ”

"It's okay, I'll let you say it," Alex returned to his seat and gestured to the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard thought for a moment, he cleared his throat, and said: "There is no suspense about the selection of the Mage Council, and we don't know it in the Holy See, and here in our Knight Alliance, Brother Pablosa is very old, if there is no accident, his term of office should be over, we may ......" He hesitated for a moment, glanced at Alex, and said, "Maybe a new candidate will be elected to serve as the chief monk." ”

"Yes, but what do you think makes the right choice?" Alex asked, leaning back a bit.

"I think it's someone who has made great contributions or made outstanding contributions to the Alliance......" said the Captain of the Guard, uncertain.

Alex nodded, "You're not wrong at all, but, Brother Barbrosa is already very old, do you think it's necessary for him to come and rob us young people of the credit again?"

When the captain of the guard heard this, he already understood a little, it turned out that the knight wanted to take advantage of the idea of the chief monk's seat, he coughed, and reminded the ambitious chief: "But my lord, I have heard that the grandson of Brother Barbrosa is a very good knight, although he is only in his early twenties, he is already a high-ranking knight, and

Tsukiki was awarded the title of Knight Chief, perhaps, the people of the Monk T family of Monk Barbrosa established meritorious deeds......"

Alex smiled coldly and said, "It's just because his grandfather and father are both high-ranking figures, Knight Chief, I'm in my thirties, I have broken through more than 20 fortress castles for the Alliance, killed a large number of rebels and dark believers, and after countless bloody battles, he was promoted to this position with merit, and he has not changed for ten years, why should he?"

The captain of the guard smiled awkwardly, although he was also a little dissatisfied with this, but he was from a civilian background and a lowly position, so he did not dare to make any comments on it.

"I'm also from a civilian background, if nothing else, my life will end here," Alex's tone was very calm, but there was something unquiet brewing and flashing in his eyes, and after a while, he stared at the young face of the captain of the guard, and said in a deep voice: "You are my confidant, how do I treat you?"

Without hesitation, the captain of the guard said, "Very good!"

"Alright, you go and gather the guards, and we'll go out tonight to attack the outpost of the Dead Council. ”

The captain of the guard was shocked and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

Alex sneered and said, "What, are you scared?"

The captain of the guard straightened his chest and said: "It is my honor to die for the adults, I will not flinch in the slightest, but I have to consider the safety of the adults, our team of two hundred knights has just been buried there a few days ago, with the strength in our hands, I am afraid that ......"

Alex scoffed, "My guards are the most powerful knights in the Northern Plains, and those garbage cavalry can compare with my subordinates?"

"But, my lord, ......"

"I'm definitely not acting rashly!" Alex pointed to his head, looked at the captain of the guard, and said, "I'm not hot at the moment, my mind is very clear, and this decision was also deliberate, due to the setback a few days ago, the Dead Council would never have imagined that we would attack a second time so soon, this time we can definitely catch them off guard." ”

The captain of the guard no longer insisted, he straightened up, made a knightly salute, and said in a sonorous voice: "My lord, I will go and prepare." ”

Half an hourglass later, the sky was completely shrouded in darkness, a total of three hundred well-trained knight guards quietly got up from the camp outside the castle, and then gathered in a forest more than ten miles away, Alex led the knights are the Sail people of the Northern Plains, they have been fighting with the black dwarves all year round, and their night combat ability is very strong, which is why Alex dares to fight and has a certain chance of winning.

Looking at the knights in full formation, Alex nodded with satisfaction and said, "Listen, if I establish merit this time, then I will definitely get promoted, and your merit is also indispensable, beautiful women money and land, how much you want." ”

Many of the people in the knights breathed heavily, looking a little excited, for a long time, Alex would never treat his subordinates badly even if he divided his belongings and land, so his subordinates were loyal and trusted in him very high.

The captain of the guard rode his horse to Alex's side and said, "My lord, when will we come out, I'm afraid that it will be too late to attract the attention of Knight Colin, then it will be inappropriate." ”

"There's no hurry," Alex smiled mysteriously and said, "We have one more person to wait." ”

The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, so he had to wait patiently.

It didn't take long for a team of more than 100 knights to come to the woods silently, and the captain of the guard recognized it at a glance, this was Lord Alex's friend, the guard of the Cyril Knights, they also belonged to the camp of the Northern Plains,

The captain of the guard's heart suddenly became hot, and he said in his heart that Brother Alex had already made arrangements, so it seems that our chances of winning this time are very good.

"Haha, Cyril, I knew that with our friendship, you would not sit idly by. Alex burst out laughing as he rode out of the woods.

Cyril was stunned for a moment, and then lost his voice: "Didn't you say that you went alone to attack the outpost of the Dead Council and fell into a bitter battle? Why are you here?"

"Yes, I'm going to attack the outpost, but it's not me alone, it's you and me," Alex said with a smug smile, "I know you won't want to invite you to act together, but if I'm in danger, then you will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely come to my aid." ”

Cyril smiled bitterly, "Old friend, you can see me so well. ”

"Old friend, you don't have any scruples now, do you?" Alex looked at the other party and said, "If this thing succeeds, it will be good, but if it fails, when you are held responsible, you just say that you are here to rescue me, then no one will blame you." ”

Cyril was stunned, he nodded silently, friendship is of course very important, but Alex also thought about the way out for himself so clearly, obviously this time he was determined to act, he sighed, and said: "Alex, I know that you are very meritorious, although you failed to compete with Mavis back then, but you have to know that she is ......"

"Don't talk about those useless ones! Our goal now is to destroy the council!" Alex stepped forward and patted Cyril on the shoulder, and said with a grin: "Don't be so depressed, the last time the Dead Council was in the hinterland to encircle and annihilate our knights, which shows that even if they deploy a lot of people on the periphery, their strength is limited, we just need to take down this stronghold in front, don't rush in, and make a big splash when we go back, the alliance will definitely reward us for the purpose of boosting morale, and will not punish us." ”

Cyril glanced at Alex in surprise, these words did not seem to be the words of the reckless and rude friend he was familiar with, and the whole thing did not seem to have happened suddenly, as if it had been carefully arranged beforehand, which puzzled him.

Alex leaned closer at this time, he pointed to it, and whispered: "I have someone in the alliance to support, as long as I make a little effort, the seat of the chief monk is likely to be obtained by me, and I will definitely not treat you badly at that time, do you understand?"

When Cyril heard this, his spirits suddenly perked up, and all this seemed to have found an answer, and all his worries turned into surprises, and he immediately drew his sword, waved it, and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for?
