Chapter 63: The Old Hero

The stone door of the secret room opened, and Sophia followed Alice back to the original path, only to see that there were many forks on both sides of the path that did not exist before, and these forks were very wide, not to mention that the two people walked side by side, even a carriage was no problem

Alice led Sophia to a large and bright room, only to see a huge sand table in the middle of the room, which was the topography of the whole country of the Pole Kingdom, and on the opposite side of the sand table, Sophia noticed that there were five people sitting there

Three of them sat in the upper master's seat, flanked by Leonard Green and Bobcat, an old man with a gray beard in a dark red robe, and Joika and Monfic sat in the guest seats below

The old marshal, Her Royal Highness the princess, had arrived, and Alice said to the old man

The old man was talking to Joeyka and Memphik, and when he heard Alice's words, he immediately got up from his seat and greeted Sophia, followed by Leonard and Bobcat

Your Royal Highness Princess, please turn out what we have just done, we have been looking for Her Royal Highness the Princess for all these years, and the old man staggered to Sophia, threw himself on his knees, and was so excited that he burst into tears, and then kissed Sophia's skirt

Old man, don't do this, Sophia hurriedly helped the old man up, but when she came into contact with the old man's body, she felt a little strange, your body, Sophia asked

When people get old, the bones are not very useful, but finally it lasts until the day when the princess is returned, and it is really damn to use this rotten body infected with disease to touch His Royal Highness, and the old man said weakly

Old man, please don't speak, Sophia grabbed the old man with one hand, quickly removed the cross from his neck with the other, and then closed her eyes in a meditative motion, chanting some magical incantation

Suddenly, a holy light filled every corner of the room, and although it was quite bright, it did not cause a harsh or dazzling feeling, but instead made everyone in the room feel a sense of warmth

After a few seconds, the holy light disappeared, and the old man stood up, looked at his hands in disbelief, and said to himself: "Great, I'm actually fine, but at this time, Sophia looked a little tired

The old marshal Leonard, Lynx, and Alice hurriedly rushed to the old man's side, while Joyka and Memphik, who were sitting in the guest seats, ran to Sophia's side

Please forgive the old man, Sophia's current light magic cultivation is not enough to completely cure your illness, but at least it can greatly delay the deterioration of your condition and reduce your suffering, Sophia said to the old man

Thank you, Your Royal Highness Princess, not only did not care about my subordinates' rudeness to you just now, but also treated me, my old, weak, sick and disabled body really can't be repaid, and the old man thanked Sophia

Sophia smiled only slightly

Soon after, a small but very lavish banquet was prepared for Sophia and the three of them, attended by the old man, Leonard, Bobcat, Alice, and Sophia, at this time, Alice had taken off her armor and changed into a gorgeous blue bandeau evening dress, which made people shine

The reason why so few people participated was because the old man said that he could not disclose Sophia's identity as a princess to everyone in the camp for the time being, because it was very likely that the spies sent by Duris were mixed in the camp, and if it was made public, it might cause some unnecessary trouble, of course, the old man said that when the time was right, Sophia's identity would be revealed to everyone

For this kind of behavior, which even her own people suspected, Sophia didn't dare to agree, but Sophia didn't have too many opinions about it, and if she kept her identity secret now, she could indeed avoid a lot of trouble for herself

Here is an introduction to the origin of this old man, his full name is Olkid Duszke, that is, the actual ruler of the Revenge camp known as the old marshal

When she heard that the old man's surname was Duszke, Sophia couldn't help but look at Alice, who noticed Sophia's eyes, smiled and said: Your Royal Highness doesn't need to look at me like this, I do have a relationship with the old marshal, and the old marshal is my Alice Duszk's grandfather

It turned out to be her own granddaughter, no wonder Olkid Dusksk trusted her so much and made her the captain of his personal guard

Speaking of this, Olkid Duscke was a well-known old hero of Poyler before the fall of the kingdom, and now he is seventy-six years old, when Alkid was young, he was a royal knight of the same generation as John Duncan's father, with the title of Marquis, and he was also the captain of one of the four main legions, the Burning Heart, twelve years ago, when the forest elves faced the dual threat of orcs and vampires and asked for help from the Kingdom of Pole, Alkid Duscke, who was sixty-four years old at the time, resolutely embarked on a journey with another royal knight, the Marquis of Habton, after receiving the king's order, did not expect that this would ruin the country

With the consent of the Elven Eldersate, Alkid Duszk and Marquis Habton established this regent camp on the edge of the elven forest as the general rear base for the future recovery of their homeland, and later on the battlefield of Shamania, Marquis Habdon died on the battlefield, and the regents fought very hard, although Marquis Habton was a royal knight standing at the top of the knightly rank, but the commander of the other party was also a warlord standing at the top of the war leader rank, as a result, after the most tragic bloody battle, both sides were defeated, although the human army won by a narrow margin after the arrival of Alkid's reinforcements, but the Marquis of Habton had died with the warlord of the orcsfinish

After collecting the bodies of his comrades, Alkid Duszke had to take on the task of recovering the country for his comrades alone, and he undertook many tasks in the name of marshal, such as building the Restorationist camp, training new soldiers, and expanding his strength

Let's talk about the henchmen around him, in addition to Alice, the granddaughter who personally served as the captain of Olkid's personal guard, there are also the four generals he personally appointed, these four generals are the best and most loyal soldiers who have been tempered by the hardest wars, and among the general regents, except for their personal guards, no one knows the true identity of this person, only that these four people are codenamed by four animals, namely: the silver krait, the wild horse, the bobcat, and the bull

Mustang is the first to deal with Joyka and their Leonard Green, alias Markas, the deputy head of the Lion Mercenary Regiment, less than 20 years ago, Leonard Green was just a trainee knight, he was originally in John Duncan's Silver Hundred Flowers as a squad leader, on the night of the Hansa Rebellion, his squad was sent to the city gate by the then squadron leader, the knight of the Guards, Wimber, for reinforcements, but on the way, it was ambushed by the rebels and the killers recruited by the rebels, almost all of them were wiped out, fortunately, John killed in time to save Leonard and the other four surviving soldiers, John appointed Leonard as the new squad leader of his squad, let him thinkMethod: Outside the city to ask for help, Leonard Tong Guò cut a hole in the wall, took his new subordinates out of Hansand City, and went straight to the main garrison of the Silver Hundred Flowers outside the city, after breaking through the heavy interception of the rebels, all four soldiers he led were killed, and Leonard himself was seriously wounded, but finally reached the station, and after conveying John's order, he fell unconscious, when he woke up, it was already three days later, when he learned that Hansa had fallen, the king and prince had been killed, and knew that they had suffered the worst defeat, but he heard that John himself had saved the only surviving bloodline of the royal family, and he kindled the flame of hope again, so Leonard went south to find John, but he did not expect to be in the middleCaptured by St. Oluffi's army, Wimber rescued him, and later Leonard followed Wymber to the edge of the Elven Forest, where he defected to the Revenger camp run by the Marquis of Dusk and Habton, and two years later participated in the revenge war of the elven army against the orcs, in which his respected boss Wymber was killed in battle, Leonard continued to fight and created many miracles in the war, and his own strength was also raised to the level of the knight of the royal power, after that battle, Leonard's ability and loyalty were appreciated by Alkid, and he was appointed one of the four generals, General Mustang, and later took the pseudonym of Makas and the other one of the four generals, the Silver SnakeSet up a lion mercenary group to carry out missions outside

The Silver Snake is Sophia, the current leader of the Lion Mercenary Group, they know that this person's fake name is Biden, and their true identity is unknown, and Olkid Duszke is unknown, and they have not revealed that after Marcus (Leonard) left the mercenary group, he was in charge of all the affairs of the mercenary group alone

Although the Lynx was also at the banquet, he did not reveal his true identity to Sophia and them, perhaps because of Joyka and Memphik, but according to him, he himself was not from the original Poeller army, and he participated in the Regents relatively late, and he did not participate in the war against the orcs, and his strength is unknown, and he is the least combatant of the four generals, as for why he became one of the four generals, it is unknown, the Lynx is the only one of the four generals who has stayed in the Regent camp for a long time, and he is responsible for all the affairs of the camp except for the personal defense of Olkid Duszk, including finances, production, personnel management, recruit training, camp defense and many other jobs are quite the big steward of the camp

The most mysterious of the four generals of the bull, even the other three generals have only heard of him, but he has not seen anyone, and this person is in charge of important intelligence work

Finally, Alice Duszk, the granddaughter of Olkid Duszke, for this old classmate in the noble monastery, Sophia is not very familiar with her, except for naughty mischief - of course, a naughty girl is very impressive, it is because she was Sophia's old classmate, so she was sent to test Sophia's true identity on the mission, when the Hansa Rebellion occurred, the noble monastery was killed by a group of killers, all the nuns, The priest and the aristocratic students were killed, only Sophia, who was a princess, was deliberately kept as a prisoner by the killers, and then rescued by the second brother Agulie, originally Sophia thought that Alice had died with the other classmates, but she didn't expect that night Alice secretly climbed over the wall to catch frogs, and then because of the heavy rain, she blocked her way back to the monastery, so that Alice escaped, and later Alice blended into the market of Hansar City and became a female beggar, living for two years until she was recognized by her grandfather's old subordinates who left in Hansar City to carry out tasks, and was sent to the Avenger camp

After listening to the Restorationists, Sophia also briefly told them all about her experiences in the past twelve years, when John fought her way through the interception and took her to the village of Serre, which was later destroyed by robbers, John and another paladin living in seclusion in the village repelled two paladins sent by the Templar Order, and she and the four boys in the village were taken to live in the Snowy Federation by the magician for a year, and then arranged to go to the Star Continent to learn light magic under the teacher of a mysterious female priest, and a few years later was arranged by the teacher to travel aloneA few months ago, he re-met several of his friends in the village and defeated the necromancer who invaded the continent with them...... During the past twelve years, Sophia has told Alkid and the others about all her life experiences, but Sophia still hides two things: first, her master is the Radiant Saintess of the Central Church, and second, she and her companions are preparing to enter the Underground Kingdom to seek revenge on the dark elf wizard

Archid and the others were stunned when they heard Sophia's account of her twelve years of experience, and they were surprised that Her Royal Highness, who had thought she was supposed to be vulnerable, had gone through so much training, and when Sophia spoke of her and her companions fighting against the necromancer Buyos and his men, they were even more amazed

The lynx questioned this: wasn't Buyos defeated by the clergyman of the Church, Julien Rousseau, alone, so the Holy See said so?

Indeed, Julian was one of the companions involved in the defeat of Buyos at the time, explained Sophia

Those hypocrites in the Central Church have always pulled themselves higher than others, and you believe this kind of propaganda, Alice glanced at the lynx and said

The lynx rubbed its head embarrassedly, and the scene erupted into a hearty laugh, and the atmosphere was very lively

After the laughter of the princess, Olkid said to Sophia in a stern tone: "On behalf of all the reverters and all the people of Pole, I make a request to Her Highness the princess.
