Chapter 18: The Princess and the Knight
Bella groaned, and she said, "The Red Duke is a knight of ancient Bretonnia, after an expedition against Arabi, he came back into madness, and soon became a necromancy, and his resurrection is rumored to be related to a conspiracy. ”
"Who?"
"The White Knight of Musilon, Landuin, is rumored to be a benevolent lord who exempted a large number of serfs from a large number of taxes, and inspired himself with ancient chivalry, not just himself, but the whole castle."
Estella scoffed, "That's not like my father, but my father wouldn't ask anyone around him to follow the example of chivalry." ”
Bella gave Estridella a deep look: "The whole of Musilon is thriving, as a seaport city, due to corruption has been cleaned up, there are more and more foreign merchant ships, coupled with the impact on the crop yield of the plains and the industriousness of small craftsmen, Musilon has quickly become the pearl of Bretonnia.
However, Musillon's changes made some people jealous, and one day, the tomb where the Red Duke was buried was dug up, and the great nobleman who had followed the ancient hero Gilles, the Red Duke, was resurrected.
Immediately, under the undead power of the Red Duke, the entire Musilon became a land of death. ”
Estella was silent, and then she said, "It's a shame that such evil has happened in our land, and because of this, we must destroy it as soon as possible. ”
"As long as you kill the White Knight, then my father will canonize him as a baron, and if anyone can kill the Red Duke, he will be canonized as a viscount for so long."
Her Royal Highness Princess Estria's words quickly made the army behind her start to make an uproar, and even Lu En's heart beat with excitement.
Aristocrat.
In Bretonnia, if you want to become a ruler, you have to become a nobleman, and the source of nobility is very small, either you are a nobleman, using conspiracy, inheritance, etc., then you are a martial arts noble, who takes the position on the battlefield, and the last one is an adventurer, who occupies the town with a group of soldiers and sets himself up as a king.
The first one is not to mention, it is the status of the nobility, Lu En does not have it, and the last one is not to mention, the adventurer occupies the town, so the risk is extremely high, because even if the local nobles are killed, the army from the entire kingdom can make it collapse.
"Martial arts nobles." Lu En thought in his heart, he listened to the noise in the rear, and those soldiers must have thought the same way.
Estella suddenly asked Bella in front of her, "Then, let's attack Musilon tomorrow." ”
"Just follow your plan."
Bella nodded: "Musillon will be taken down by us tomorrow, the knights of the empire are one against ten, and although those undead look terrifying, there are many of them." But if we can kill the Red Duke, then we will win. ”
Lu En was so surprised that he almost didn't fall off his horse, even if the Red Duke was stupid~forced~, he would definitely not charge at the front line, and more than three hundred elite knights, although the combat power is very strong, but if you want to capture Mu Xilon, I'm afraid it is also an impossible thing.
Lu En thought in his heart: "This is also a good thing, when Her Royal Highness Estella and the Imperial Rick Praetorian Guard Knight die, it will inevitably accelerate the rapid advance of the king's army, and at that time, the position of his knight will definitely be stable, and he will no longer have to worry about the attack of the Red Duke." ”
Thinking of this, Lu En also had to speak, and simply followed the group back to the village.
………… Gorgeous dividing line............
When the night gradually came, Lu En opened his eyes, although he could clearly see the two magic moons outside the window, and he could feel the cold air when he got up, but he still insisted on getting up from the bed.
Taking advantage of the night, Lu En walked out of the house.
The village was silent, except for the sound of a campfire burning and the beams of stars shining on the ground, and in the distance a few farmers on vigil were chatting around the campfire, and around Lu En the sound of war horses snoring.
Lu En took down the torches hanging from the houses next to him, and then walked into the mountains behind the village, only to see a bright light shining from Lu En's side, and then illuminating the trees around him.
The lizardman came out of the forest with sharp claws, and it looked at Lu En in front of it: "My lord, I have already arranged the layout of the battle location. ”
Lu En nodded, and then he looked at the sky, the stars in the sky were bright, and it must be a rainy day tomorrow.
"Yes, tomorrow." Lu En pondered for a moment: "You tell you of the Black Dragon Knights that we will definitely win a real victory tomorrow, and the mobile undead army of the White Knights and Musillon will be completely destroyed by me." ”
Lu En turned and left, he would be in a good mood, if it went according to plan, then it would not be long before the whole of Muslon would become his kingdom.
Lu En walked step by step to the village, but just as he was about to go back to bed and continue sleeping, he suddenly saw a figure sitting on the lawn not far away.
At this time, the light of the stars shone on the sky, and Estella sat quietly watching the sky in front of her.
Lu En hesitated for a moment, but he still walked quickly to Estria's side, and then he asked slowly: "Your Royal Highness Princess Estria, the night is dark, there is still a fierce battle tomorrow, please rest as soon as possible." ”
Estella glanced at Lu En who walked beside her: "I don't want to sleep this time, you don't want to sleep either, stay with me, okay?" ”
Lu En was slightly stunned, but he nodded and sat down next to Estella.
Estella looked at the stars in the sky, pointed to a twinkling star, and said, "The stars in the sky are the embodiment of the gods, and each one has a moving story on it. ”
Lu En nodded: "I heard that whenever people are confused or in trouble, they like to watch the stars in the sky to relieve their boredom, and Her Royal Highness Princess Estella is also in trouble?" ”
Estella smiled, but there was sadness on her innocent face: "I don't know, I just feel very painful every time I see my father's sad face. ”
Lu En nodded, in fact, the Kingdom of Bretonnia is not peaceful, conflicts between the south and the wood elves occur from time to time, the Norsca in the north will also go south to rob, and the vampires also have a place in Musilon, and if you don't pay attention, it will become a big trouble, not to mention those green skins hidden in the forest, which are also very annoying.
Lu En looked at Estella beside him and smiled, "But vampires can't be annihilated overnight. ”
Estella shook her head in pain, and she rested her head on her knees: "You know, I used to think when I was very young that there would be a knight or prince in this world to help me with my pain, but when I grew up, I realized that the whole world was not what I imagined. ”
