Chapter 854: Paladin, the store does not entertain troublemakers (74)

No one expected that the first reinforcements to arrive in Mortapha would actually be the knights led by Duke Adelin himself. After glancing at the dense demons outside the array, he began to question Christian with a haughty face, "Why didn't you inform me earlier!" Demon invasion, such a big thing, why don't you announce it to the major lords in time! It will take ten days to get from my territory at the earliest. ”

"How many people did you bring?" Christian didn't mind Adelin's attitude at all: "I'm sorry! You may not believe it, but according to the information we have intercepted, Archduke Ferdinand has a secret deal with the devil, and I don't know how many lords are on his side, so to be on the safe side, we chose to hide from his sight and mobilize troops to the Mortapha region through other channels. ”

"I know about it. On the way, I met your elven legions retreating from the Misty Forest. Duke Adelin nodded with a straight face, with a cold look: "Fighting against demons is not a trivial matter, it is true that there are traitors in the kingdom, but you, as the crown prince, are so distrustful of other lords because of this, I have to say that I refuse to accept such an insult." ”

"Come on! Lord Duke," Leopold changed from his old appearance to Pippi, and looked very imposing for the first time, "If I'm not mistaken, Chris's father is still being held in the territory by you. The seizure of the crown prince to blackmail the royal family, to do such a thing, you still ask for Chris's trust, it is too demanding. ”

"I'm really eager to expand my strength even further." Duke Adeline replied very confidently: "This does not conflict with my duty to knightly protect the land. Please don't compare me to Ferdinand's traitor who makes deals with demons. Moreover, Duke Frécy I have already released, and he has now lost his value to me. ”

Burst...... Qian Qian almost couldn't help laughing. This Duke Adelin is really an interesting person, with a posture that makes sense of what Lao Tzu does, completely unreasonable but very principled, such a person is really rare, she has been walking on the plane for so long, and she has never seen a few guys with such special personalities.

"So, Lord Duke, how many people have you brought here?" Leopold looked impatient: "You have also seen the situation, we need your men to enter the battle immediately." ”

"The Knights of Edelin are pouring out!" Duke Adelin still held his head high with a haughty face: "My team and I will do our best!" ”

"Very good!" Christian nodded, "Thank you for your timely help, Your Excellency Duke." I've summoned the commanders to meet you, and you can have your Knight Captains and Wizard Chiefs come and follow the battle arrangements. ”

Duke Adelin glanced at the holy sword of Aris in Christian's hand, and finally replied as if he was reluctant: "As you wish, Your Highness the Prince." ”

Duke Adelin's reinforcements were the first to arrive, followed by the elven legions and griffons who withdrew from the Misty Forest, and then the reinforcements of the major lords of the kingdom also arrived one after another, of course, Archduke Ferdinand would not appear, he led his troops to invade the royal city as Qian Qian had expected.

By blackmailing the king into taking the royal city, Archduke Ferdinand gave himself the title of regent, but this did not seem to have much effect. Because the position of the Holy See is clear, more than one cardinal archbishop has chosen to go to Mortapha to support the demon war.

Ferdinand began to release the news, saying that because the heir of the kingdom was of impure blood, was of demonic blood, and colluded with the demons, so there would be a demon war, and he called on all the lords to crusade against the half-blood demon Prince Christian.

The people of the kingdom did not know whether it was true or not, so they were naturally very frightened, but most of the lords knew it in their hearts, and the attitudes of Duke Sorenburg, Grand Duke Lancelot, Duke Bert, and Duke Adelin were very clear, and the news that the crown prince was the guardian of the holy sword of Aris was confirmed by the Holy See himself.

In any case, the battle of the demons really happened, and the chaotic power struggle could be watched from the sidelines, but the knights' responsibility to defend the territory must be fulfilled, and most of the lords almost did not hesitate to march towards the Mortapha region with their knights. Races other than elves, dwarves, and half-orcs were also alarmed, and fighting demons was common to all races in this magical continent.

The centaurs of the Demon Forest changed their usual wariness of humans and began to cross out of the Demon Forest with bows and arrows on their backs, and made a long journey to the Mortapha region. They were joined by the barbarians of the Lava Canyon, the mid-law of the Magi's Tower, the elves who were not accustomed to colonization, and...... The spirits of the undead who have lived in human settlements for a long time.

They all brought their best weapons and quickly gathered in the Mortapha area, the demon came, the hatred between the races seemed to be no longer important, and everyone's goal became one - to drive the demon back!

Right! That's right! There were even some undead. Qian Qian saw an acquaintance, the vampire she had seen in a tavern at Fort Salfield when she was a child. He followed his necromancer master, still as before, pale and with a polite smile. He was the first vampire Qian had ever seen, so he was very impressed.

"Hello! Mr. Vampire! Qian Qian raised his hand and greeted the vampire: "Do you remember me?" We met at the tavern at Fort Salfield, but it had been a long time, when I was eight years old and was with my mentor. ”

"It's you!" The vampire laughed, "I'll just say, I've seen such beautiful blond brown hair somewhere!" You're supposed to be a local girl from Saalfield Fort, right? But I don't seem to see you very often, you know, I've lived there for more than three hundred years, and I've been through several lords, that's a good place, isn't it? Wait a minute! You really look a little like the current Earl. ”

"Yes!" Qian Qian smiled: "As the next lord, you are welcome to continue to live in Salfield Fort, of course, you are absolutely not allowed to hunt in my territory, you know the rules." ”

"It's Miss Count, I'm really honored!" The vampire immediately bowed to Qian Qian, smiling more politely and gently.

"I'm honored too." Qian Qian stretched out his hand to him: "I didn't expect you to come, I thought that the undead would not be nosy." ”

The vampire stretched out his cold hand, gently took Qian Qian's hand, and gently put it to his mouth and kissed it before replying: "I said, our Salfield Fort is a good place, and I don't want to live under the rule of demons at all." Not only did I come, but all the adventurers living in Fort Salfield came, and I just saw the tavern owner. ”
