Finally, the news of the defeat of Zion and the destruction of the army reached the ears of the Duke of Tenardier.

Ping!

The glass filled with wine shattered in his hand, and the Duke of Tenardier was very upset in his heart, quietly watching his hand sprinkled with red liquid.

Because he didn't get away with a single soldier, he didn't know anything about what had become of Zion other than knowing that Zion had been defeated. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, it is better to say, at least Zion has a noble status, and as his son, Zion also has more use value, so he doesn't have to worry about his life. But the problem is that if the battle is particularly fierce, let alone his son, even the prince can't guarantee mercy from others.

If he could, he wanted to punish the people of his son's army severely, and it was because of those wastes that it led to the defeat of Zion.

However, no one from that team came back alive, and he was the one who sent Zion out, so was he going to beat himself up? Unleash hatred on the lords of Arthas? Please, what have others given to your son, are you still afraid of your condemnation?

- Damn it, stinky boy, Gistato!

The Duke of Tenardier silently unleashed his anger on the fragment of the wine glass in his hand—although he had retreated from the front line, he had been exercising. Whether it's a sword, a spear, or a horse, he can handle it more easily than the average knight, and under this right hand, even sharp shards of wine glasses can be crushed by him.

Ignoring the slight wound on his hand, he picked up the bottle next to him again, only to find that there was not a drop of wine left in the bottle. And there were four empty wine bottles around him - even though he had drunk so much, he still didn't have any drunkenness, and his sharp eyes were a little more murderous.

Hum!

The enraged Duke of Tenardier stomped his foot hard, pulled out his chair and walked to the side of the wine cabinet. Take out the treasured spirits and pour them into the cup you took out at the same time, and drink them all.

"--You're really messing around, drinking so much will hurt your body."

"Drekavak, you're too late!"

Duke Tenardier turned his head, and there stood a short old man in a black robe at the door.

The old man, Drekavak, had a hood that completely covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression. But judging by his tone, he was not afraid of the angry Duke of Tenardier.

I saw him bow gently. Explained: "Because there is something to be busy"

"That's not important!"

Duke Tenardier interrupted him impatiently, sat back in his chair with the bottle and glass, filled the glass with wine, glared at Drekavak and asked, "Zion has brought the two dragons over, whether Arthas can muster enough soldiers or not, I don't think that cowardly boy of Arthas has the ability to defeat the dragon, is it the battle queen of Gistato?" ”

Bearing the majestic gaze of Tenardiye, Drekavak nodded slowly: "It shouldn't be wrong. There are seven warriors in their country, and all of them have weapons called dragon tools. ”

"I've heard the name, but is it really that powerful? That so-called dragon rig. ”

"It's a weapon that human intelligence can't comprehend. In the face of real dragons, they can also exert the power to slash, pierce, and even shatter. ”

Although the weapon that shattered the dragon's scales was indeed like that so far, if someone other than Drekavak said it, Duke Tenardier would probably scoff at it. The power of dragons is not something that ordinary people can compete with. If it weren't for the fact that dragons are too rare, I'm afraid this world is already the world of dragons, it's not that dragons can't be defeated, but that's based on many sacrifices, setting up all kinds of traps, poisons, or people like Drekavak with special means can deal with it.

"Well, what kind of material is that weapon made of?"

Come and think about it. The biggest threat is the mysterious dragon gear.

"It is said that there is no substance in the world."

Hearing Drekavak's answer, Duke Tenardiye's black beard trembled slightly. Then the corners of his mouth grinned: "I see, that's why I can easily cut down a dragon that even a steel weapon can't damage." ”

It was the same fantastical rhetoric, but the Duke of Tenardier simply believed it.

"Exactly." Drekavak bowed slightly.

"When will the new dragon be ready?" Duke Tenardier asked casually.

"A month or so, and it takes a little money." Drekway bent down and bowed his head respectfully.

The Duke of Tenardier wanted to ask him if he could hurry, but since the old man said that it would be another month. It does take that much time. After a long period of correspondence, he has come to realize this.

So the Duke of Tenardier had a huge bag the size of a human head, filled with gold coins that would overflow.

Instead of rushing to take it, Drekavak asked, "Then again. What are you going to do with Count Warun and the Battle Queen? ”

"I'll take care of this matter, you just need to hurry up and prepare the dragon." Duke Tenardier waved his hand.

"I see."

Drekavak lowered his head and slowly retreated with the gold coins that belonged to him. However, at the moment of closing the door, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: maybe the sword also has a bow, is that what one or two dragons can handle? However, the Duke of Tenardier is not a simple character, and there is a good show to watch now. As for the kid from Zion, it's always against him, and it's better to die.

After Drekavak left, Duke Tenardier leaned back in his chair a little weakly, and pressed his big hand on his temple, was he a little drunk?

"I can't help it."

Duke Tenardier murmured in some pain. He wanted to kill Tigler with his own hands, but unfortunately he only had a body, and he couldn't prepare an infinite number of soldiers, and he had other important things to do.

"You can use an axe to crush a worm, but let's use the 'Seven Locks'. Also—"

The Duke of Tenardier rang the silver bell and summoned several attendants. And quickly gave several instructions. When he was done, he took his glass and drank it down.

"Knight against knight, war queen against war. If Denarbein can be of some use, consider putting that guy in charge of liaison."

Looking at his face reflected on the silver cup, Duke Tenardier said in a low voice, "In this way, Ganglong seems to know the battle concubine of Gistato. What would that man do?"

Duke Gangon is currently competing with him as a powerful person, but I'm afraid I'm just trying to see him do it now. However, depending on the situation, it is also possible to beat Arthas before him.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Alsace had become the center of the storm, but Wu Jian still looked like he was getting by, so angry that Lim directly pulled him off the horse and personally took him to other territories to seek support.

His entourage included a hundred Gistadt soldiers hand-picked by Lim, as well as Batran and Tita who took care of Wu Jian's living and Artoria as an escort.

Before leaving, Lim also asked to see Zion and the other captives. They were found building roads - passages between Alsatian cities (just one) and villages.

"What's going on?" Lim asked dumbfounded.

"As the saying goes, to get rich, you first build roads. It's rare to have so many people, isn't it just right? ”

"That's not what I said! What's going on with him!? ”

Following Limu's fingers, Wu Jian saw a young man. Although his face is now covered with sweat and mud like ordinary people, because the clothes on his body have not been stripped off, it can still be seen that the family is at least very wealthy. And Lim could see at a glance that the young man was probably a nobleman. According to the information, the young man is probably Zion, the son of the Duke of Tenardier.

"Any questions?"

"Absolutely! You actually let a nobleman do such a thing? ”

Lim was completely dumbfounded. If this spreads, it will become unreasonable.

That's what this world is. As a nobleman, even if you are a captive, you must be treated well - not to mention good wine and food, but you must not do hard labor like a slave. Otherwise, it will be condemned by others. Once Zion's current situation is spread out, it will also be very unfavorable for Wu Jian to win over others.

"Tageller Wilmud. ~~~~~ Warun"

At this time, Zion also discovered Wu Jian. Roaring is about to rush over desperately.

But it was the heroic soldiers who were guarding them, and when they saw a whip flash, Zion fell to the ground with a "snap", but a pair of eyes still glared at Wu Jian viciously: "You can't treat me like this!" I'm a nobleman! My father's Duke of Tenardier"

Syllable!

Another sound, another whip from the Heroic Soldier on his back. Although my back hurts as if it was broken. But the humiliation he suffered made him forget the pain for a while, and kept crawling towards Wu Jian.

The Heroic Spirit Soldier wanted to drag him back, but was stopped by Wu Jian, so he bowed and retreated.

Zion climbed all the way in front of Wu Jian, wanting to climb the front hooves of the white horse.

Roar!

How could the white horse let him touch him? Gently raised his front hooves and stepped on the ground, and a powerful momentum shook out.

"Ahh

Zion jumped up with a scream and fell backwards, looking at the white horse in horror.

Lim also looked at the white horse without any vehicles with wide eyes - at first she scolded Wu Jianlai, at least add a saddle, but she didn't pursue it when she saw Wu Jian sitting steadily on her back. But she didn't notice that the white horse was capable of emitting a dragon-like aura - though she had never seen a dragon.

"What's wrong? Didn't you come to me to settle accounts? Looking at Zion, who was frightened silly, Wu Jian said contemptuously.

"You and I, I am a nobleman, you can't let me work like a slave, I ask to be treated like a nobleman, please, I can't stand it anymore"

Zion was indeed frightened stupidly, he was still relying on his father's power to threaten Wu Jianlai, but now he was just crying and pleading.

"You can't live by doing your own thing, you have committed a heinous crime in Alsace, and this is already cheapening you." Wu Jian said coldly.

"Heinous crimes?"

Hearing Wu Jian's words, Lim couldn't help it. Although it is true that Zion intends to commit a heinous crime, it is too late for others to commit it. It is true that there are many houses that are missing. But the loot after the soldiers were caught was also returned. Moreover, the various items carried by the three thousand soldiers were also stripped off, and in addition to the armor and other equipment, Wu Jian picked up the things that were distributed to the residents and earned them.

"Alas~"

Suddenly, Wu Jian sighed and said in a heavy tone: "When we got that they were going to attack Alsace, we took emergency shelter. But some elderly people are really not suitable for intense exercise. An old granny when she was transferred"

Is it dead!?

Lim's heart jumped, although she can be regarded as a nobleman, she does not have that kind of pretentious thoughts. There has never been a thought that the untouchables are inferior to the nobles, and it will be sad to hear this news.

"She twisted her waist, although she has been treated, but her body is bad after all, and now she often complains of pain." Wu Jian said in a grief-stricken tone.

All:

It's no wonder that Tita and Batalong are like this, because Wu Jian's tone is really funny. And after hearing this, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Zion, and I led an old man to twist his waist and his current treatment, and anyone who saw it felt that it was not worth it.

"Are you stupid?" Lim gave him a blank look: "Treating a nobleman like this will really make your position very delicate!" ”

Hear the words. Zion immediately looked at Wu Jian hopefully: "Yes, yes!" That's none of my business! ”

"Idiot, you want me to let you go after doing so many unconscionable things? Come on, fork him down for me! ”

Immediately, a heroic soldier dragged the crying Zion down, and although it turned into a curse in the end, Wu Jian didn't bother to pay attention to it.

"Let's go."

Wu Jian rode forward, Limu stayed for a while, and finally didn't say anything more and followed.

Their first destination was the city of Belfort, the heart of Telitore. And this territory is basically very barren like Alsace, if there is any difference. That's Alsace, where it's mountainous, and here it's the endless grasslands.

The lord here is Viscount Og, who is very old, and he is also an old friend of the previous lord of Alsace, and after meeting Wu Jian and others, he also talked about his childhood--he also has a common language with Batland and Tita.

But this time I came to be serious after all, after Lim introduced herself and explained her purpose. The old man was silent, and looked at Wu Jian for a while before asking, "Just in case, I'll ask first." Is it your fault? ”

"Hahaha, when I came back, the other party hit my door. Whose fault do you think it's for? Wu Jian spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Be cautious!" Lim whispered to Wu Jian and quietly pinched him.

Viscount Auger nodded, what kind of urine is Duke Tenardier, he actually knows that this is just a question of the formula Moreover, there is also the battle concubine of Gistato, which he would not dare to participate in if Wu Jian was treason or something like that. But then again, Wu Jian has great righteousness here, and he has the help of Zhan Ji, which is also promising. If you stand on the right side, it will also be very helpful for the development of Telitore.

After thinking about it for a while, Viscount Auge had already considered it, so he said to Wu Jian: "To be honest, if you are the only one to ask me, I will definitely refuse." Even if you stand on the side of justice, we are powerless before the Duke of Tenardier. While justice is worthy of honor, I cannot gamble my soldiers and subjects on a war with no hope of victory. ”

Hearing this, Batrian frowned, and his mouth moved a few times - don't look at him as just a servant of the Tigler family, he can still speak in front of the lords, although only in front of the lords who are as poor as Arthas.

However, Wu Jian didn't let him continue, and after stopping him, he nodded and motioned for Viscount Auge to continue.

"But not only did you have the support of Mathhas, but you also became a companion to the Gistato, who were known for their shrewdness and toughness. In this way, you may really be able to confront the Duke of Tenardier and the Duke of Gunlon. ”

"So, you're willing to help us?" Limu hurriedly asked, she was more anxious than Wu Jian now.

"As long as my old bones can come in handy, I want to say that, but we don't have any extra troops right now. I want you to help me. ”

"What's going on?" Lim narrowed her eyes slightly.

Og looked out the window, from which he could see the only mountain range in Telitor across the steppe: "The mountains of Foge have become a lair of thieves. They attacked nearby villages, set fires to kill, plundered property and livestock, robbed young girls, and committed heinous and unforgivable misdeeds. Naturally, I couldn't sit idly by, so I led my troops to the Fori Mountains, but I lost. ”

The old man's face showed intense bitterness and humiliation, he clenched his fists hard, and even so, he still couldn't suppress his feelings, and his body was still trembling slightly.

"Right now my son is borrowing troops from the nobles in the neighborhood, but things are basically not going well. Even if a certain number of troops are gathered in the future, the village will be attacked before then. I'm not going to ask you to help me get rid of the thieves once and for all, but I want to try to curb the damage there as much as possible. ”

"How many people are there in that bandwe of thieves?" Lim asked expressionlessly This is actually quite difficult, don't look at the old man's sadness, but now he is negotiating, and too many expressions on his face will be seen through.

"About two hundred."

What the?

Lim was slightly surprised, this was twice the number she brought. And even the lord can't be defeated, so it can be seen that he is also a deep-rooted, brave and warlike thief.

Looking at everyone's expressions, the corners of Wu Jian's mouth pulled up, revealing an expression of crying and laughing: "I feel that if I complain at this time, I will lose." ”

"Master-" Artoria understood Wu Jian's character, and only half-closed her eyes at the moment and said: "Master, there are already a lot of thieves with more than two hundred people, and the situation here cannot be compared with China. Moreover, even in China, it is a big deal that there are so many thieves in a small county. ”

"Oh"

Wu Jianyi clapped his palms, and it was indeed a different object for comparison. Although the person standing in front of him was a lord, the entire territory was not much better than that of ancient Chinese towns, and there were indeed more than two hundred thieves.

Then, Wu Jian smiled and said to Artoria: "So, it's time for lunch now, how about you clean them up before setting the table?" ”

"Command!" (To be continued......)
