In the next half month, the plan to form the corps proceeded step by step. The daily training of the soldiers was on the agenda, and Garrell arrived with dozens of his elite cavalry.

As for those players who joined, Zheng Ming compiled an independent group for them individually. Saying that it is an independent regiment is actually more like a civilian mercenary group. The dragons and snakes in it are mixed, and they are divided into small groups according to friendship, combat power, cooperation, etc.

For these competing and unruly players, Zheng Ming didn't bother to adjust the relationship between them. He only set up two chiefs, one and one deputy, and gave them the right to form groups freely.

This allows players who like to huddle to have happy teammates, and those who like to walk alone without being distracted. They can pick and choose the tasks that suit them.

And when there are multiple groups of people who want to accept a task, the role of the leader is revealed. They will pick the most suitable and promising group to complete the task and assign the task.

Zheng Ming will not ask too much about and interfere in the affairs of the independent group. For him, it was enough as long as they completed the tasks assigned by themselves.

The strength of these players is uneven, but I have to admit that the overall strength of the players is higher than the strong in this world. Picking the weakest of them will also be able to kill natives of the same level.

Among them, one is the most powerful, and the two leaders are the first. Zheng Ming estimated based on the performance of the two that their combat power was almost equal to that of their best before they fell into a coma. This is still without taking into account the killer skills of the two.

The leader of it is a middle-aged man with brown hair. Just looking at the other party's thin figure and humble and polite demeanor, Zheng Ming really couldn't imagine that the other party was known for being a battle maniac.

His name is "Kami" written on his ID. According to him, the body is called "Barton", and he himself prefers to be called "Cammy". This is also the second person Zheng Ming has seen who insists on introducing himself with an ID.

As for the first person to tell Zheng Ming his ID; Britney, known as Number Two. It's the player who is the co-boss. Since joining this new legion named after the dragon and lion, he has been pestering Zheng Ming day and night, which has made Zheng Ming tireless.

At this point, the Dragon and Lion Legion, led by four commanders, was officially established, consisting of the Heavy Armor Corps, the Infantry Regiment, the Cavalry Regiment, the Bow and Crossbow Regiment, and the independent regiment led by Cami and Britney.

Originally, according to Zheng Ming's expectations, they had to continue to carry out daily training and constantly run in with each other. Until they are familiar with the battle formation, familiar with military discipline, and cooperate tacitly. It wasn't until Arthur's return that he was named the official Legion, and then he made a name for himself on the battlefield.

However, nine times out of ten, the world is not going to be as expected, and a sudden unexpected war disrupts his plans completely.

July 1018. Far north of the kingdom, a place that everyone regarded as a barbarian land, a barren land.

The kingdom of the barbarians of the North, the Kingdom of Frostland, has returned. An endless army of animals and furs appeared beyond the borders of the Celtic kingdom.

At the forefront of those huge armies riding wolves and bears, a huge white dragon with a white body appeared. On it rode the king of the Frostland Kingdom; Nolan, King of the North.

For the Celts, however, the destructive power of the King of the North was far less powerful than the rumors and careerists who came from within the country.

It had always been a rumor on paper and in the mouths of nobles, but when the people saw the snow-white eighth dragon with their own eyes, the noise that was already faintly circulating against Arthur instantly increased.

Fueled by the masterminds, rumors of Arthur's fraudulent claim to the throne spread from the northern plains of the kingdom to all parts of the kingdom.

Arthur, as the center of public opinion, did not have the slightest justification or statement, but silently drove to the army and rushed to the battlefield that quickly fell.

In this world of royal supremacy, doubts about the legitimacy of the king are fatal.

Perhaps out of admiration for Arthur's chivalry, perhaps out of admiration for his invincible heroism on the battlefield, or perhaps out of palpitations for the suppression of the rebels in his early years.

There is no apparent chaos in the kingdom. But a seed of doubt entered the hearts of the lords and the people.

Under this influence, the disadvantages of not being able to obey the king's orders and going to the trouble for the king were finally manifested. Arthur suffered his first defeat in a hand-to-hand encounter with Norlan, the king of the North.

Luckily, the Red Dragon Ralton and his lord Ainzfeld were with him that day, so Arthur was able to escape. However, the red dragon, who was also injured, could not escape far, so he had to find a nearby castle and land in the territory. The castle ended up being a cage for Arthur.

When Ainzfield arrived at the royal capital with the red dragon under Arthur's strict orders, two days had passed. Zheng Ming, who got the news, couldn't take his breath and broke into the palace.

After roughly questioning several guards along the road, Zheng Ming kicked away the guards who were blocking him and broke into a garden.

When he saw Lancelot and Gwyna sitting side by side in the garden, drinking tea, admiring flowers, and talking and laughing, he only felt a surge of enthusiasm.

"You listen to me......"

With a sudden force under his feet, accompanied by granite fragments flying backwards, Zheng Ming suddenly appeared in front of Lancelot, who got up to protect Gwena behind him.

“…… Solution ......"

The faintly swollen right arm pushed the fist of the green tendons and imprinted it fiercely on the hateful face.

Before Lancelot could say anything, he was blown away by a huge force. Even though he mobilized all his energy for defense at the critical moment, the right side of Junlang's face was still high and swollen, showing a purple color.

"Zheng Ming! What are you doing? ”

Gwyna's angry roar once again provoked Zheng Ming's nerves. Zheng Ming's calmness, which he gradually recovered, was filled with blood again.

"What am I doing? What are you doing? Arthur is still fighting for the kingdom and is besieged in a dangerous city. But what about you? Not only are you not grateful for the comfortable life he brings you, but you have an affair with Lancelot here? ”

"Zheng Ming! You...... You slander me and slander my innocence. ”

Seeing Gwyna screaming in front of him, who was already full of crying at the end, Zheng Ming's heart softened.

"So you explain what you're doing? As soon as I asked Lancelot where he was, the guards were at a loss. The two in front of the door even risked their lives to prevent me from entering. As soon as I came in, I saw you sticking together, whispering. ”

At this time, Lancelot, who was in pain and had a tooth-barred mouth, also walked up. He continued to use his energy to consume the swollen right side of his face, and explained helplessly.

"You're really mistaken, Naru. I have always been in the habit of reporting to the queen about the state of the kingdom. This is their kingdom after all. Today I have received news about the king, and I feel that it is necessary for the queen to know, so I am reporting to her. Since a lot of what is said is important information that cannot be leaked, there will be guards who prevent others from breaking in. ”

Zheng Ming, who was already a little weak when he heard this, continued to ask: "Is it necessary to get so close to the report?" Are all those rumors out there fake? ”

"I was explaining to her the terrain of the castle where the king was trapped, and reassuring her that the king would be fine. As for those rumors, reporting to the queen will naturally be seen by those subordinates. It's just their unwarranted speculation and boring gossip. ”

After a pause, Zheng Ming also realized that it seemed that it was because of his preconceived notions that he made a mistake in judgment and hit the wrong person.

Zheng Ming, who really didn't know how to express his apologies and made the other party angry, had to say a rather naïve but effective method.

"That...... I'm sorry. You can punch me too. If one punch doesn't solve the anger, then make a few more punches. I don't use energy defense. ”

"Forget it. It's not like you don't know how perverted your physical strength is now. My hands hurt when I hit you. Let's talk about your purpose. You came to me in such a hurry to come to me, did you want to support the king? ”

"Yes."

"The army in the royal capital cannot move, which is a guarantee to ensure the peace of the royal capital and the safety of the queen."

"I know. I'm here to ask for your paperwork. Let my legions not be denied entry in the name of disobedience when they pass through the territories of the lords. ”

"Okay, I'll draw up the documents immediately, and by the way, I'll call on all families to send troops to support."

In a few words, the two of them quickly made a decision. Before leaving with the document with the seal of the king's right hand, Zheng Ming glanced at Gwyna, whose eyes were red and swollen, and said after struggling inwardly for a while.

"I'm sorry. Gwynna. It's not that I don't want to trust you, it's just that the rumors outside really have noses and eyes. As the queen, I still want you to always be mindful and keep your distance from people. ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Ming couldn't bear to look at Gwyna's trembling shoulders that had been keeping her head down and silent. Bite the bullet and leave quickly.

And Lancelot, who was left in the garden, looked at Gwyna who was sobbing incessantly, stood up and stepped forward and patted her shaking shoulder and comforted her.

"Zheng Ming is also worried about your and Wang's reputation. Don't worry too much about it. ”

Listening to the gentle voice in her ears and the warmth in her shoulder, Gwena let go of her suppressed crying.
