Chapter 185: Promotion
87_87410 Solve the thief of the cup, Twilight began to observe the surrounding situation, in fact, the thief's strength is not low, otherwise he would not have almost assassinated Twilight, he just didn't expect Twilight to wake up at the critical moment, and reacted so quickly and directly gave him a fatal kick.
At this time, there were only a dozen people who attacked Twilight and the others, all of them were thieves, and now Benjes had some remaining knight guards to integrate these raiders to fight, and Zagreel, who was of eighth-order strength, also joined in at this time.
Seeing this, Twilight joins the group near the carriage first, only to see her arms flick as she runs, and the royal barrier in her hand flies out with a whistle.
Boast!
With a muffled thud, the royal ramparts slammed steadily into one of the thieves, and Twilight dragged the Vengeful Blade in her right hand to the thief, but suddenly unleashed a fast, reddish magic arrow in her left hand.
This is Twilight's newfound magic, named Twilight's Arrow of the Desolation, because of the suddenness of the attack, the thieves he approached failed to dodge, and a fist-sized blood hole was instantly pierced through his waist.
After quickly taking out the two sneak attackers, Twilight is about to look for her next target, when she hears a whistling sound, and the sneak attackers retreat towards the woods on either side, while using their crossbow arrows to their opponents.
Seeing that the sneak attacker was about to run, Twilight snorted and chased two steps after another barren arrow, leaving a thief behind, and Setis, who was not very happy, rode a war bear to chase after him, and when he approached a thief, Setis roared and slashed at the thief in front of him with an axe.
In the face of a menacing axe, the thief could not dodge his footsteps and stumbled to the ground, at this time two huge bear paws fell under the thief's frightened gaze, only to hear two clicks, the thief's entire chest was pressed deep by Dabao's bear paws.
"Okay, poor Kou Mo chase, come back!" Twilight stops the others from continuing to chase them, the thieves are good at speed, and they are already in the woods, so they should not chase down.
After stopping the group, Twilight crouches down and begins to examine a corpse at her feet, which unsurprisingly has nothing on it that can prove its identity.
Standing up, Twilight sees Benjes walking by and asks, "Is there a big loss?"
Banjes shook his head and said with some distress, "Eight of the guards died."
He brought out a total of thirty guards, but he didn't expect to lose eight before he reached the royal city.
"Can these people find out who it is?" The strength of these sneak attackers is not low, and at first glance, they are well-trained, and they should be from some organization.
"No, but these people are either at you or at me, I feel like thank you for me, it seems that there are too many people who want me to die." Banjes shook his head again, his slightly pale face gloomy.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, it is estimated that after a long lesson this time, they will not come again in a short time." Twilight comforts Benjess as she wonders who is doing it this time and who it is.
When Twilight sees Anissa and Hekas coming over, Twilight smiles and says, "How is it?" My dream has been disturbed!"
"Brother, I just helped!" Hekas raised his crossbow in his hand.
"Good!" Twilight smiled and rubbed Hecas's head, this girl is not very strong, but she is really bold.
After a few words with the two girls, Twilight returns to the carriage with the two of them, while Banjes leads the men to bury the dead guards.
The next day, Twilight and the others make their way to the royal city of Danamacas again, but nothing happens along the way.
As Twilight and the others arrive at the royal city, a conversation about him is going on in Darius' palace.
Princess Sonaka smiled and said to her father, Danas V, "Father, Twilight has made many achievements at such a young age, I wonder if I should give him a knighthood and praise him well, so that the soldiers in front of him can know that the kingdom will not treat meritorious people badly." ”
"Compliments? Twilight is already a lord at such a young age, the kingdom has given him enough, and he has already offended many people because of the matter of Preto, if he is praising him now, I am afraid that it will push him to the forefront, which will bring him danger. Hearing Sonaka's suggestion, Sinain was the first to retort.
Maybe Dawn and the others can't hear the hidden meaning of Sonaka's words, but New Sain can see that Sonaka is trying to push Twilight into the fire pit, you must know that Twilight's strength is not high at this stage, and the more he is valued, the more hostile he will be to others, especially those nobles who have conflicts with Twilight.
"Danger? What does the Bishop mean, shouldn't the Kingdom reward the meritorious?" Sonaka asked nonchalantly.
Sonaka's words made New Sain frown, he had guessed that Twilight had offended Sonaka, but now it was certain that New Sain, who knew something about Sonaka, knew that Twilight had found a difficult opponent for himself.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has a point, meritorious people should be praised, it is General Kunovelo." Count Drieson is also on the side to give Twilight a knife, and he also pulls in the stupid Kunovero.
Hearing Driesen's words, Cunovello seemed to have just come back to his senses: "Ah! That's right, it should be rewarded!"
New Sain was about to speak again, when Danas V spoke: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have faulty, you will be punished, this is the normal state of Darius all along."
Danas V's opening set the tone for the matter, and no one present refuted it, not even New Sain kept his mouth shut.
Seeing that no one objected, Danas V, who was sitting on the throne, thought for a moment and spoke: "Pass the order and crown the lord of Prito Twilight as an earl." ”
Oh, good fellow, Danas V made Twilight jump from the Baron to the Earl, skipping the Viscount in the middle, and everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
You must know that the title of earl belongs to the official entry into the top level of the nobility, and there are only more than ten counts in the entire Darius Kingdom, and the title of New Sain is only an earl, but his current disciples are already at the same level as him, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Danas V, is it old and confused, many people in the palace have this idea in their hearts.
Twilight's promotion to the knighthood was thus decided, and when everyone walked out of the palace, Dreyus, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask, "Father, why did you make Twilight an earl, is this too heavy?"
"Do you think it's heavy? Actually, it's not serious, I know a lot about Twilight, he first appeared in the Wild Forest, with the dead Dakris, there is no doubt that he is a capable person, but the more such a person, the more you have to hold him in your hands, a real earl, plus the ties of New Sein and others, this is enough to tie Twilight to Darius's chariot forever, and it can also attract the attention of the council to Twilight, why not!"
"Child, I am old, and there is only one thing to do now, which is to help you and your brother remove some obstacles that may arise after my death and pave the way for you." Danas V said with a smile.
Listening to Danas V's words, Dreyus did not speak, he understood what his father meant, he was going to use the conflict between Twilight and the nobles to eradicate some people. (Pending renewals of recommended votes and monthly passes.) )。
