Chapter 638: The Princesses of Fear
The sun rose again over the mountains in the east, and countless civilians walked out of their homes rubbing their sleepy eyes. To their surprise, on the side of the street, on the street lamps, and on the branches of the trees, blue Lordaeron flags and a red flag that they were all unfamiliar with appeared.
They shine like the rays of the newborn sun, shining everywhere. Everywhere everyone looks, there is a color of red and blue.
They were stunned for a moment by this change, and today was not a major holiday, and everyone asked what happened? Is it where the war has been won again?
Soon, though, a message came from the town halls everywhere... Today is the ceremony of the reshuffling and naming of the army of Lord Harvey!
"Okay, why change your name? Are crusaders bad? "People are very confused about this, but no one can answer them.
However, if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out. They didn't want to know the story either, but what interested them was that all the items in the store were on sale as if they had been discussed. In particular, the drinks in the hotel are only half of the usual ones!
And what surprised them even more was that the place where they worked was notified and everyone put a day off?! When many people are confused about the word holiday, their employers tell them that they don't have to go to work today, and then your wages will be paid as before!
This news really surprised everyone, this is the first time since the history of human civilization has been recorded! They were ecstatic and didn't forget to ask why. But the news I got was nothing more than the arrangement of the noble lords, or the decision of the Grand Lord Harvey to take a holiday...
People poured into the streets with excitement, and they wandered around the streets. The merchants who came to hear the news also sold all their goods at a discount. For a while, all of them took the money they had deposited in the bank and went to various stores to buy the goods they had already liked.
In the Silver Pine Forest, and even in the entire Tirisfal Glade, this scene is everywhere, in the entire area controlled by the Harvey Grand Lord, as long as it is under Locke's jurisdiction!
The only thing that is not happy is the Goblin Bank in the area controlled by Locke. Although they had been notified a long time ago, and the goblins had prepared enough copper and silver coins to exchange for in advance, they were heartbroken and their only hope was that the people who got the money would be able to save it back.
Many people poured into the inns in the early morning, and they bragged about Harvey's exploits. Heartfelt adoration for the day of holiday that Harvey gave to everyone.
Caria carried her bread basket and walked through the crowded streets of Iva. From time to time, she gave way to the noisy crowds, juggling circus performers. While shouting and selling his bread.
It's been almost two months since Fairbanks found her, but to her little disappointment, Harvey, who she expected, didn't come to her in the first place. But her instincts were sharp enough to tell her that everything was different. She could inexplicably feel that there were people who were supposed to protect her, but she couldn't tell who those people were and who weren't.
To be honest, Locke didn't look for her in the first place. While letting go of her inner worries, it also made her start to worry. She thought that Fairbanks had told her that if he told Locke, he should have no reason to refuse. But the problem is, it's been a long time, and he still doesn't care about himself.
Only a letter came from Fairbanks, and it only told her to wait patiently.
But what happened, and how did she calm down? As the sole heir to the Minethil family, Fairbanks gives her hope, but asks her to be patient. How could she endure the anxiety and restlessness in her heart?
Nearly two months have passed, and this long wait has gradually calmed down her anxious heart. She began to live as peacefully as she had in the past. However, today's news made her start to suffer from gains and losses again.
As the Princess, she has the responsibility to revive the Minethil family, and as the sole heir of the Minethil family, she has a desire to get Lordaeron back on her feet. But now, she can only watch from the sidelines and nothing can be done. And what made her deeply sad was that no one in the surrounding crowd was talking about the Minethil family.
It seems that people have really forgotten the surname of Minahir, who once led them to victory over the orc invasion... However, the civilians forgot. The aristocrats can't forget, and that certainly includes Locke.
Just when Kalia was feeling down, a man blocked her way. She hurriedly ducked sideways and whispered, "I'm sorry to get in your way." ”
To her surprise, however, the man did not leave but stood in front of her. She slowly looked up, and a beautiful elven woman blocked her way.
Behind her was a team of pure elves, and the crowd around her subconsciously avoided them. Their bright red armor and colors were so dazzling in the crowd.
"Princess Kalia, Lord Harvey invites you to the ceremony."
When she heard what the female elf said, she subconsciously grabbed the basket, and she forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, did you recognize the wrong person?" I'm not a princess... I'm not called Kalia either..."
"Please don't waste time, Princess Kalia. We have limited time, and we still have to take you to pick out the clothes that fit you. Please come with us. As she spoke, the elf dodged away, and through the crack, Kalia saw a carriage with the mark of the Crusader parked across the road.
"I..." Kalia didn't know whether to refuse, whether to agree. At this moment, she desperately hoped that Fairbanks could be here and think of a way for her. After a brief hesitation, Kalia plucked up her courage and said, "Can you let me go back for a while, I have the right clothes there." I also want to put my stuff back..."
"No, Princess Kalia," the elf shook her head in refusal, and she continued, "all your belongings have been packed, and may be waiting for you in your new quarters by now." ”
Now, Kalia can't help it. She had no choice but to follow the elves' guidance and walk to the carriage. But the fear and uneasiness in her heart came up at once, so that she staggered when she walked, and was firmly held by the female elf behind her.
Perhaps seeing the fear of this human princess, the female elf behind her comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, it's really just to participate in the ceremony, I'm Phil Lalei Swift Arrow." In the future, your captain of the guard, we should establish a good relationship of mutual trust, right? ”
It seemed that Swift Arrow's smile infected her, or perhaps because of what she said, which made Kalia, whose face had turned pale, slowly recover. Her hand, which had been holding the swift arrow hard, slowly let go.
"Thank you," said to Phil Lalei a little weakly as she boarded the carriage, "Thank you, Captain. ”
Phil Lalei laughed, and she leaned into Kalia's ear and said, "Thanks, I think we're off to a good start..."
When Kalia lowered the curtain of the carriage, Phil Lalei and her men escorted the carriage to the wizarding quarter of Iva. They must teleport Kalia through the teleportation circle to the Abbey before the ceremony begins, as the High Lords will see her.

Outside the mill town of Tirisfard, the mills of the Agamand family were blasted into pieces of rubble by shells. What makes the goblins, led by venture capital companies, a little frustrated, is that because of the reduction in the amount of explosives, the originally powerful bombs have become much inferior when dealing with these stone houses.
What puzzled the goblins the most was that there was a forbidden space circle set up by necromancers in this town, and their airships and planes could not fly over that dilapidated town!
So much so that the airships can only be used as eyes in the air, guiding their gunners to shoot at the houses in the city that may be in the presence of magic circles. But the shelling has been going on for several days, and in addition to blowing up some houses, it has not allowed their aircraft to enter the sky over the town.
"It's been a week! Where the hell are these hateful and shameful undead lunatics hiding the magic circle?! Hackvin, a representative of the venture capital firm, was jumping in a simple tent, "Our company still needs these people to do something else!" ”
The goblins in the tent, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
In the past few days, they have repelled wave after wave of undead who have rushed out of the town. But the goblins found that it was like a bottomless pit, and there would always be an endless stream of undead gushing out, and they couldn't kill them all...
They suspect that there might be some other portal or circle in there.
At first, under the lure of gold coins, some goblins rushed in to find out the news. But after going in so many and not a single goblin came back, no goblin was willing to go in and die.
After all, you have to spend money on it, don't you?
In desperation, the temporary leader of the goblins, Hukhwen, decided to use the airship as a guide, the artillery to destroy the magic circle, and use the air strike to kill them!
And then a week passed, and there was still no progress here...
Claire grinned and folded her arms, leaning against the edge of the tent and looking at the goblins' helpless expression. Now, he began to have a deep admiration for the Great Lord. This is an abnormal natural disaster stronghold, if they Iva come to attack, I don't know how many soldiers will have to be sacrificed to take it.
It is necessary for the Great Lord to keep the vigilant legions stationed at the foot of the mountain from moving!
But his smile was seen by Haqwen, who had inadvertently seen this, and the goblin seemed to be stimulated.
"Damn it! Can't be dragged anymore! Time is money! The red-eyed Huqvin angrily said to the other goblins, "All of us in the venture capital firm will take the lead, and we will drive our engineering tanks and new harvesters as the main attack units. The rest of you sent all of you to act with us, taking with you all your works. ”
"We're going to take it in the next few days!" Hackwin said with some annoyance! "As businessmen, it's about our credibility! As goblins, our reputation is at stake! ”
