The night wind was howling, and Yang Shou had been hiding for a while, shivering from the cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in this situation, he had no time to take care of these things, and his mind was quickly organizing words.

"The great knight Eren was very famous, and he was one of the most famous lords of the empire at that time, and the civilians of many surrounding territories spontaneously moved to Fir City. It is said that in just over three years, the size of Fir City tripled......"

Caroline's expression was flat, and she didn't react in particular, because she had heard a lot of similar rumors.

"After the war, the evidence produced by the empire was only a collaborator letter with Allen's personal seal, no other physical evidence, and no one witnessed......"

"At that time, Allen's swordsmanship was extraordinary, and he was only one step away from advancing to the Sword Master, and his wife was also a famous magician in the Empire. But when the war broke out and the two armies faced each other, neither he nor his troops actually resisted. ”

Yang Shou peeked at Caroline's expression, saw a hint of curiosity in the other party's pale green eyes, and continued: "In order to avoid civilian casualties, both of them committed suicide, but Allen made a condition to the general who led the imperial army, that is, to save their daughter's life. ”

"Daughter? Does Grand Knight Eren have any descendants? Caroline couldn't help but ask, surprised.

"Yes!"

Yang Shou nodded, and said firmly: "I don't know if there are other heirs, but the great knight Alan has a daughter who my grandfather saw with his own eyes in Fir City,"

Caroline was really surprised at this time, as far back as she could remember, the Empire never seemed to have made this matter public.

In everyone's opinion, after that war, all traces of the great knight Allen have completely disappeared from this world.

Seeing that success aroused Caroline's interest, Yang Shou hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, not only that, this baby girl has also inherited the excellent bloodline of her parents, and she has extraordinary talents in swordsmanship and magic. Because...... Lord Allen's wife is a rare magical genius with a rare pair of green eyes. ”

Caroline was slightly stunned, her light green eyes locked on Yang Shou, and after a moment of surprise, there was a hint of anger in her quiet voice:

"Soldier, what are you hinting at me?"

The temperament on the female lord's body changed suddenly, her eyes were cold, Yang Shou immediately felt the coercion bursting from the other party's body, and felt the frightened hairs stand on end, and a cold sweat broke out in the cold wind of hunting.

He is worthy of being the number one swordsmanship genius of the Metal Empire, and he has this kind of power at this age!

In the face of Caroline, who has lived in the court since she was a child and can be said to have been raised by His Majesty the Emperor himself, Yang Shou is actually under a lot of pressure to say such rebellious words.

But he could only choose to believe in Caroline's character.

Yang Shou took a deep breath, met Caroline's gaze, and said respectfully: "Please calm your anger, your subordinates don't mean anything else." These are all things that my grandfather has personally experienced, and after so many years, so many things have been forgotten, and I just feel the need to tell you about it. ”

Caroline looked at Yang Shou condescendingly, her eyes were cold, and she withdrew her gaze and turned around after a while.

But with her back to Yang Shou, Caroline frowned slightly, and her light green eyes had mixed emotions, obviously not as calm as she had just shown.

The question of life experience has always been an intractable knot in Caroline's heart.

She is not a princess, nor is she the child of the emperor who was passed on to the prince and minister, except for living and studying with the princes and princesses, she has no blood relationship with them.

Once, Caroline used her own methods to investigate, and also asked Master Duke in person, but to no avail.

I didn't know who my parents were, what they looked like, what they did, did they ever hug and kiss themselves? These questions have been haunting her mind, and every time she dreams about it at midnight, there are always two vague but warm figures in the dream.

"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future."

Caroline sighed imperceptibly, leaving a word, and her tall back quickly disappeared into the night.

Yang Shoumu sent the other party away, patted his chest, and breathed a long sigh of relief: It's okay, it's okay, it's a bit risky, but the other party listened to it......

Turning around and coming to the dead tree, Yang Shoutan pulled out the broadsword inserted in the tree, cut some dead grass around, stuffed it into the stone crevice where he was hiding, and then held the sword and lay in it, continuing to close his eyes and recuperate.

In front of outsiders, Caroline is a female general with strong martial arts and full of might, but Yang Shou knows that she is just a girl who is only seventeen years old and has many dreams and doubts in her heart.

In order for this army to escape, gaining Caroline's trust is the most important step.

For both Yang Shou and Caroline, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

……

"Bang!"

White fireworks exploded in the night sky, crushing the wind howling in the canyon and waking the sleeping soldiers.

The first small-scale harassment of the undead army began.

In the faint starlight, everything in the field of vision was plated in dark silver, including the scarlet-eyed skeletons.

Just as Yang Shou expected, skeleton archers appeared in the enemy troops, indicating that there were high-level undead creatures secretly commanding. The sentinels in the north and east were all silently sniped, and only Yang Shou was the first to issue a warning.

Carolyn's reaction was also quick.

Yang Shou's words made her a little upset, but Caroline was worthy of the title of a genius girl, returned to the camp, and immediately organized a team of heavy cavalry in the shortest possible time, and hibernated in the barracks to standby, just in case.

The fireworks exploded, and before the undead army could react, the heavily armed heavy cavalry had already fallen from the sky.

"The goal is straight ahead, 300 meters back and forth sprint!"

With the high-pitched command of the cavalry captain, the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves resounded through the canyon, and the quiet canyon was shrouded in smoke and dust in a blink of an eye. The only thing that could be seen was the long knives raised by the cavalry in the smoke and dust, and the cold light flickered!

The fragile skeletons were simply unable to pose any threat to the heavy cavalry, and the noise and hoarse roared and was fleeting. As the shaking and the sound of horses' hooves faded away, only broken bones were left on the road.

The cavalry team was high-spirited, and the horses were tall and mighty, but after a charge, they quickly quieted down, and the formation was not chaotic at all, which showed the strict discipline of this cavalry.

After a brief glance, the cavalry captain raised his long knife and led the cavalry team to quickly turn and continue to sweep along the perimeter of the barracks. Those sneak attackers who thought they could succeed would soon be facing this group of Iron Cavalry.

After a while, the entire barracks completely woke up.

The soldiers, who did not know the situation, thought that the war had begun, so they immediately got up quickly, picked up their weapons and put on their equipment, and found their respective captains to gather and prepare for the battle. But after a few minutes, everyone was told that the enemy had been repulsed, and they were ordered to go back to the house to sleep.

At the same time, they were informed of a new military order: in the future, when they camped for the night, they did not have to get up to meet the enemy unless the rallying horn sounded.

"Strange...... It seems that there was a sound of battle just now, huh? One of the recruits even wore his pants backwards, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and wondered.

Bill yawned, raised his leg and gave the recruit a kick in the ass, and yelled in a thick voice, "Okay, since it's Lord Caroline's order, it's definitely right, go back to sleep!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were right, and they all returned to their respective camps: it was not that Viscount Thomas who was blindly commanding, and His Excellency Caroline must have made sense to arrange this.

The soldiers who supervised his squad returned to the camp, and Bill looked back at the west and frowned slightly: Yang Shou is on duty over there tonight...... But this kid is so clever, he should be fine~

……

Inside the tent, Thomas was also awakened by the rumbling of the galloping horses, put on his fine pajamas, and stood in the big tent.

Thomas is no more than thirty years old, with curly blond hair and obvious imperial royal blood. With a tall nose, dark blue eyes, and a kind smile that he keeps at all times, it has to be said that he is very attractive to most women.

Except, of course, the girl in front of him, Thomas thought a little unwillingly.

"Since there is an enemy raid, why don't you put the army on alert?" Thomas yawned and asked Caroline, who was dressed in a military uniform in front of him.

Caroline wore white armor all over her body, and relayed Yang Shou's words again, adding her own opinions at the same time.

Before the enemy dispatches high-level troops, small-scale cavalry combat is the best choice, which can not only save combat power, but also be efficient.

The whole barracks moved, and it was too hard for the teachers to move.

"Yang Shou?"

Thomas frowned slightly, his focus was obviously not on the battle outside the barracks, but he smiled and said, "Is it the Yang Shou who duel during the day?" Ha, Carolyn, you really have a good eye, and you can find talent anywhere. ”

Viscount Thomas smiled, and naturally took a step towards Caroline's side, showing a gentle look on his handsome face: "Caroline, I have already explained to Your Majesty before leaving, please ask Your Majesty to propose marriage to Master Duke on my behalf, and when we go back, I think this matter should have been completed." ”

The female lord frowned slightly when she heard this, her slender fingers clenched unconsciously, and she said without being arrogant or humble: "My subordinates don't have time to think about these things for the time being. Besides, the teacher has never forced me to do this kind of thing, and there is no need for my lord to trouble Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, my subordinates will retire first. ”

After speaking, Caroline gave a slight salute and left the tent quickly.

Thomas stared at Caroline's back, at the graceful girl's body that the white armor could not hide, squinted his eyes, and sneered.

I actually refused! Do you really think you're the pride of the sky?

Carolyn, after you are just a sinner, I have already given you a lot of face by doing this, I really don't know what to do.

Caroline stepped out of the tent, and a tall, lanky officer who had been guarding the door stepped in.

He was the aide-de-camp of Viscount Thomas and his surname was Liu.

Adjutant Liu was a real soldier, who was promoted step by step in the battlefield and finally entered Thomas's personal guard battalion. Those people in the imperial capital arranged Adjutant Liu here in the hope that he would put Thomas in the face.

He walked into the room and said to Thomas, who was thinking thoughtfully, "Your Excellency, the situation does not seem to be good. There had never been an undead in the Great Rift Valley before, let alone an operation on such a large scale, could it be that they were also for that thing......"

"What's the panic? We just need to get the things and send them back to the imperial capital."

Thomas turned around, sat down and leaned back in his chair, combing his blonde hair with his fingers, as if to say something very common: "It's better to die more, and it's good to go back and communicate with Your Majesty, and ask for merit and reward~"

"Yes."

Adjutant Liu nodded respectfully, followed by a frown, "But if the time comes, Lord Caroline doesn't obey the order...... Half of the army was brought from Cedar Town, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to control when the time comes. ”

The corners of Thomas's mouth curled up into a sinister smile, and he pulled an envelope from his bosom. The envelope was beautifully crafted, and it was stamped with the seal of the Sword of the Two Lions, which was the seal of His Majesty the Empire.

"Don't worry about that, if she's obedient, that's the best. If she's not interested, hum...... I could kill her at any time! ”

"Your Excellency is wise." When Adjutant Liu saw the king's seal, he couldn't help but look excited.

"By the way, what is the background of that Yang Shou, I heard that he injured my people in front of many soldiers?" Viscount Thomas asked, seemingly unintentionally.

Adjutant Liu bowed down and said, "My subordinates have asked, but I chose to join the army because of the death of my parents and the lack of food for my subordinates." It is estimated that our people are just careless and let the other party take advantage. ”

Thomas admired the emerald ring on his finger and sneered: "Hmph, now the empire is too indulgent to these untouchables, and we should find a way to make them remember their identity and know how to respect the inferior." ”。

Adjutant Liu smiled and nodded, seemingly agreeing very much with Viscount Thomas.
