Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLeo was in a good mood, well, at least for the past few days, and of course, his mood would have been even better if it hadn't been for Marcel's endless harassment......

Reinforcements from Stormwind had arrived three days earlier, and the abundance of supplies and fresh blood had brought the morale of the once-sluggish Duchy army back to a new peak, which was perhaps the benefit of fighting on home ground, and one of the reasons why Leo and El Andergrimes had chosen to put the battlefield in the Northern Territory in the first place

In three days, three days, Leo instigated several counterattacks that gradually increased in strength, and successfully pushed back the Empire and the Church forces back more than fifty miles, and early this morning, Edward and Tedamir brought better news......

"Yes, Your Highness, you heard you right, we have more than five thousand clansmen rushing to join your army, and there are even hundreds of those Misty Mountain archers who don't see the light of day and stink in the Misty Mountains, I have to say that you have the support of almost all the minorities in the Northern Territory!"

The two leaders of the Savage Force, covered in bandages and wrapped in mummies, stood respectfully in their makeshift tents and gleefully described to Leo what they knew

"Yes, yes, I must thank your dear friends, for it is your fearlessness and sacrifice that have made our situation so good, for which I am deeply guilty, and I can only thank you with a modest amount of gratitude...... However, I think that soon in the principality and even on the entire continent, all minorities will be able to live in the sun with their heads held high! ”

Speaking of this, Leo, who was wrapped in a white coat, stood up excitedly and walked back and forth in the small tent, waving his arms and shouting from time to time

"Do you know that Rolf and Nathaniel are finished, they are finished, and the last addition of these five thousand mighty warriors is the straw that breaks the camel's back, what is a camel? Well, friends, let's ignore this topic for a moment, all you need to know is that a complete counterattack is about to begin, and we will be the ultimate victors! ”

Keith, who had just opened the curtain and entered, was momentarily stunned when he saw the scene in the room, but soon he understood what was going on, shook his head with a smile, made a brief gesture to Edward and Tydamir, walked over to Leo and whispered in his ear

"Just now Aldarian and Tyr found the assassin on the outskirts of the camp, and after a brief fight, the other party decisively retreated, and today ...... At least you might be able to relax a little bit this morning......"

"Huh? Forget it, Keith forget about that damn bastard and let Al come over, at this point we should forget all the clutter and focus on the all-out counterattack that is about to begin! ”

Nodding, Keith, who was about to turn away, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to a few people with some sadness

Alexander...... Alexander Mason, Grand Master of the Knights of the Dawn and His Excellency the Marquis, has been sorted out, and together with your promotion order and the sword of honor bestowed upon him, he will be personally escorted back to the storm by twelve Knights of the Dawn, and I think that Lord Alexander will surely be given a permanent and peaceful resting place in the Ruhr cemetery......"

……

"Let everyone come, come with me to the last warrior to see us off, Alexander's sacrifice has always been a blessing for me, if he is still alive, it may not be long before he will become the most important of us, a loyal and great knight!"

Speaking of which, under Leo's example, everyone in the room bowed their heads slightly, using this to express their condolences for this admirable knight......

……

The quiet atmosphere in the tent was suddenly broken by a sudden commotion outside, frowning dissatisfiedly, and simply ending the mourning, Leo shouted loudly outside

"What happened? Someone came in right away to explain the situation."

Before the words fell, heavy footsteps approached hurriedly, and soon Finn and Aldarian pushed the door side by side, and before Leo could speak, Finn stepped forward and spoke in a tone that could not hide his anxiety

"My lord, I'm afraid we're in big trouble, the soldiers rescued a knight while on patrol, I don't know what kind of suffering he had endured and was almost emaciated when he was found, from his last words before he fell unconscious, we know that he is a messenger from Gale Wind!"

********************

The warm fire is constantly driving away the cold mixed in the body, and the stomach that has become deflated and wrinkled has finally begun to function again with the influx of thick rice porridge, and Sparky Mitchelson's almost numb nerves have begun to feel again, and the heat that continues to penetrate into the body makes the cold bones itch as if they were gnawed by countless ants......

"Ah~"

With an indescribable cry that seemed comfortable and seemed painful, Sparker sat up suddenly, opened his eyes and subconsciously reached out to touch his chest before he could open his eyes and look around, the hollow feeling after his fingers touched made him dizzy, and he stretched out his hand to the original position of the long sword at his waist without even thinking about it

At this moment, a pair of warm and powerful arms pressed against his shoulders in time, and although he struggled a few times, the long-term hunger and exhaustion made the once powerful Gale Knight finally let out a roar of resentment

"Take it easy...... Relax my friend, we are not enemies, you are very safe now, it was the soldiers of Your Highness who saved you, praise the Holy Light, your skin was cold when we found you, we thought we were almost going to lose you, I am Finn, can the honorable knight tell us your name? ”

"Your Highness? Fane? …… Isn't this the barracks of His Majesty Rolf? ”

Maybe Finn's smile in front of him made him feel no hostility, or maybe the struggle just now had exhausted the last trace of physical strength, Sparky nodded imperceptibly, opened his eyes and then looked around carefully, as if the rusty brain had also begun to work again, the knight's training and fighting instinct made him subconsciously begin to observe and evaluate the crowd in front of him......

"Three...... No, at least four knights, that black bow that resembles a woman's sissy also gives me a stinging fear, resistance is definitely not an opponent, where is this? Who are they? Wait a minute...... Your Highness? Finn, damn it, I think I've heard this name somewhere, damn it......"

Thinking of this, Spark, who realized that he might have missed the Rolf army, asked with wide eyes and some confusion

"Leo? His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Storm? Fane? The legendary invincible Punishment Knights, Grand Master? ”

The light in front of him gradually dimmed, and a tall figure slowly stood in front of him, the head of the face that could not be seen lightly nodded, and the peaceful and pleasant voice also reached Spark's ears at the same time

"You're right, brave knight, I'm Leo, tell me your name, and ...... Then tell me if the news you brought is true??? ”

Holding the cold sheepskin scroll in his hand tightly, Leo asked with a serious face, and his mood changed from the excitement he had not long ago to distress, hesitation, unwillingness and anger!
