432, the most beautiful count

When the two of them came closer, Du Teng casually sat on a wooden cart with missing wheels next to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I have called you here, for there is a new task for you."

Du Teng looked at a man and a woman in front of him.

The man, Tobias, the captain of his own guard, was only the vice-captain before, but with the death of the original captain in the attack and defense of the Wall of Greyman, he took the opportunity to replace him and became Duten's right and left hand.

Before this expedition, this person was still a little immature, and his efficiency and understanding of his own intentions were a little worse. However, his performance later was very good, in several battles in Quel'Salas, he led a thousand people of the Volunteer Army, and repeatedly blocked the momentum of the undead at the most critical moments, although the Volunteer Army lost more than half, but the responsibility was not on him.

What's even more commendable is that he knows how to protect himself. As mentioned earlier, Du Teng needs some assistants around him, after all, he can't experience everything himself, and there must always be someone who can handle some unimportant things for him. The captain of the guard is such a character, and when used well, it is very useful.

The original captain of the guard, Duten, used it very easily, and was even better than the current Tobias, but unfortunately died in that battle.

Du Teng doesn't have much energy to constantly train new people, and if someone uses it well, he wants to use it a few more times. If your subordinates only know how to move forward, but they don't know how to protect themselves. After each battle, new recruits are re-selected and then trained from scratch. To be honest, Duten didn't have that patience.

Therefore, Tobias's self-preservation ability is commendable, and what is even more valuable is that he has shown a very good ability to learn and grow, which is what Duten values the most. So he's ready to put a burden on Tobias.

"You take three hundred people, go to the small valley where we were stationed before, that place should not be difficult to find, let them send people over, except for the least number of guards, everyone else will be sent over. And those three small floating forts, just leave one there. After all, it is only a temporary station, and our future focus is on Stratholme, in the Psychic Academy, in Anhador, in more and more important places. ”

"Yes!"

Tobias nodded, he could understand what Duten meant.

"Besides, you can just bring the message, you don't have to come back with it. After informing them, you should first go back to your home country, tell your father the news of this place, and ask him to prepare a troop of three thousand men, and five hundred craftsmen of all kinds, which is very important, and I will write a letter, and you can bring it with you. ”

"Understood."

Tobias nodded.

Du Teng was satisfied.

This person doesn't talk much, his ability to do things is okay, and he is getting more and more satisfied.

Then he looked at Rhona.

Lorna subconsciously puffed up her chest, although she was only a teenager, her chest was already quite large, even Du Teng couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then she set her eyes on Lorna's face.

"When I was in China before, I said that I was against the kingdom's policy of closing the country. Times have changed, and I can feel that a powerful dark force is reviving, and an even more powerful dark force is still in the dark, and we don't have much time.

Gilneth wants to make a difference in Azeroth in the future, no, even if he wants to protect himself, he can't continue to be closed.

My grandfather, my father, was deeply heartbroken for what the Crowley family had done. ”

"Your Highness......"

Rhona's body shuddered slightly.

Although she had heard part of their conversation from her father, her father did not say anything in detail, only that His Royal Highness the Prince and the King were two completely different types of people, and that the future of the Crowley family would depend on His Royal Highness. But she hadn't heard it directly before.

Now at first glance, the whole person is not good. His eyes quickly reddened, and his body trembled slightly.

The Crowley family is really finally Gilneth.

They were very dissatisfied with Greymane's closed policy, and really thought it was bad for the country, so her father repeatedly persuaded him, and even quarreled with Greymane several times.

And what about the result?

The stubborn Greymane not only ignored his father's persuasion, but also forcibly divided all the territories that originally belonged to their family outside the Greymane Wall, and strictly ordered the people to leave the wall, which was equivalent to directly abandoning the territory belonging to the Croray family.

If loyalty is not understood, it hurts enough.

Even the forcible abandonment of the realm and the people is not a small blow for a lord who wants to make a difference and loves his people. What's more, Greymane did this, which was tantamount to giving Crowley a slap in the face in front of all the people, what will others think of Crolley from now on? What is the glory of Crowley?

Rhona is very similar to his father, so the resentment in old Crowley's heart is also reflected in her.

The mutiny was the most immediate consequence, and in fact the last thing Crowley wanted to see.

But they had to do it in order to protect themselves, to prove themselves.

Fortunately, before the mutiny, His Royal Highness the Prince came down. and talked with his father all night, so that his father temporarily let go of his obsession.

Now, Duten has brought up the old story again, and admitted the mistakes made by Greymayne straight to the point, which is tantamount to directly whitewashing Crorey, and the emotion in Lorna's heart is almost incomprehensible.

Du Teng looked at Lorna, and waited for Lorna's mood to stabilize a little before continuing.

"The past cannot be remedied. Even if the broken mirror is put back together with the best glue, it is impossible to completely restore it to its original appearance. I know you still have a grudge against the Kingdom in your hearts......"

"Your Highness, we are not ......"

"Okay, Rona, listen to me, believe me, I really understand you very well, and I understand your father, if it were me, maybe I would be more radical. And the fact that you have been able to endure it for so long shows that you are really worried about this country. Greymane is not a dumb ruler, perhaps my ancestors were, but I was not.

So I want to compensate you, Rhona, believe me, everything I said before will be fulfilled, and everything I say in the future will be fulfilled. Now is the time to fulfill my promise......"

As he spoke, Du Teng stood up and slowly drew the giant sword behind his back.

"Rhona Crorey!"

His voice was extremely serious, like the voice of gold and iron.

Lorna subconsciously stood up, quickly sorted out her clothes, and then slowly knelt down on one knee.

Du Teng raised his greatsword and placed it lightly on Rhona's shoulder.

"I, Lim Greymane, the **** of Gilneys, the first in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Gilneys, hereby declare. Canonized Rhona Crolley as Count of Stratholme, and the city of Stratholme was immediately made his fiefdom. Gilneth never forgets that the territory will never change! ”

"Your Highness!"

Rhona couldn't stop crying. (To be continued.) )
