That was her nightmare at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The Count of Hansa.

He was standing at the gate, clad in his coat and staring at Sophia viciously with a vulture-like expression.

Sophia was stabbed by that cold gaze, and actually cowered, and her body trembled slightly.

Martin reached over and took her hand, and in an instant, she was at ease.

In any case, she is also a strong-willed paladin. With the warmth passed on by Martin's hands, of course, there is no longer fear.

In fact, as a holy warrior, she shouldn't have flinched in front of Count Hansa in the first place. At least not to be stared at by him.

However, her situation is different after all.

Martin had sensed before that she lacked the confidence expected of an ordinary paladin. Not even the pride that a paladin should have, even the kind of pride shared by ordinary female warriors is not found in her.

Women in general, attached to men. This is a phenomenon that has been prevalent in all civilizations for a long time.

This is also the price that women have to pay for the continuation of humanity.

After all, biologically speaking, women have some disadvantages. That's a problem with being a viviparous mammal. Women can have a much heavier burden on the reproductive system than men, thus undermining their competitiveness in other areas.

Just having a menstrual period once a month is troublesome enough......! Not yet able to engage in strenuous exercise. Just by virtue of these, the competitiveness card is very powerful.

Many female adventurers even simply use medicine to stop their menstruation. to avoid those downsides.

And those who can become female warriors must have their own merits. Maybe out of a hundred warriors, there is not a single female warrior!

So, they often have an innate pride. Because they did! Whether it was by talent or hard work, they eventually forged their own path.

But Sophia doesn't have that mentality. Although, in terms of her swordsmanship, not to mention ordinary female warriors, even veteran male paladins like Canion, can only be said to be on par with them. It's quite difficult for a woman to do. It's enough to make people proud and even proud.

But in Sophia, these two emotions are not visible. On the contrary, she has low self-esteem.

In the final analysis, it is because of her experience back then, because of the humiliating thing of being a mistress to others, she has not been able to raise her head.

Therefore, even if she is now a glorious paladin, even if she is now superior in swordsmanship. Even her innate ability as a woman is a first-class good, so that Martin, who is used to seeing beautiful women such as Triste and Lyuklia, is amazed by her amazing beauty. But she was still the same timid look—and that's without a fight, of course. When it comes to fighting, her heroic appearance is unforgettable for Martin.

It seems that only in the battle can she regain her self-confidence.

Sometimes Martin couldn't help but think that it would be a pity to think of a beautiful woman like her? It would be understandable if some rough man pinned himself on the battle, but she ......

At the very least, another paladin he knew (though she fought more through her own warlock instinct than with a sword), Lyukrixia, who also participated in various battles, although she also claimed to be self-worth in helping others.

But outside of the battle, outside of those good deeds, she can still live happily. She knew very well that she was not just a paladin Lyukrisia. Beyond that, she is still the only one of a kind Liucree. She has the confidence that even if she is not a paladin and loses her spell-casting ability as a warlock, she can still hold her head high. Because she knows her worth.

Therefore, Martin felt that Sophia was a little pitiful.

And it was this pity that made her even more lovely in Martin's eyes. Poor and cute. Sometimes, girls who are relatively weak in mentality can win the hearts of the other party by arousing men's sense of protection.

Crying children have milk to eat. Chu Chu is pitiful, and many times it means Chu Chu is moving.

So, it was natural for Martin to reach over and pass the warmth and strength to her.

Looking at Martin's support for Sophia, and the courage that Sophia mustered. The Count of Hansa was displeased.

However, he was relieved in an instant.

"Looks like you're really unlucky to be here. He smiled and said, "Can I say that you are throwing yourself into the net?"

At the same time, he glanced at Natasha, Shirley and the others behind him with bad intentions. "You didn't cherish the choice you had before, but now, you can't help it. ”

Martin, however, was unmoved. "We chose to come here because we were confident enough. ”

"Confident? Oh, yes? I know you're good at fighting. But will you be able to fight all the defenders here?" he sneered, "Don't say it's a fortress for the Northlanders, they're the world's most famous warriors - just the auxiliary forces of this fortress like the Frost Giants, Armored Bears, and Icewolf. That's enough to solve you guys. ”

He is exaggerating when he says this, of course.

The Northlanders are really good at using these helps. Standing up straight, the Frost Giant, which is more than six meters tall, is able to use its broadstick to sweep down enemy defenders standing on the walls. The armored bear wearing half an inch thick armor has terrifying brute strength, especially after receiving human help, its combat effectiveness has increased exponentially. As for the Icewolf, although it has a wolf in its name. But they are no ordinary wolves, not only are they more intelligent, they are magically resistant, and they are as large as calves. One bite can break a bison's neck.

However, Martin believed that he was sure of his side against these guys - he was a druid, and he was the most maverick of many druids, the Stech Spencer druid. Dealing with these creatures is a trick of its own.

The ones who could threaten them were the defenders of the Northlanders.

These Northlanders, with their bravery and strength, have built up great martial arts. The Norma Empire employs a dedicated elite army of Northlanders. Of course, the ambitions of the Northlanders were not limited to this, as they conquered everywhere and took control of large swaths of the colony. Even, far away on the other side of the continent, in that warm place, there was their newly established kingdom.

In fact, there were many places in the land where Sophia was born at this time that were controlled by the Northlanders. They built forts and cities there, conquered large numbers of natives, and imposed a system of exploitation on them by force. The so-called Sogon Parade, also known as the Parade Levy, was implemented because of the backwardness of the local civilization. At the beginning of each winter, the nobles led their own guards to tour the land, forcibly collecting grain, honey, wax, furs, slaves and other tributes from the residents, except for some for consumption, the rest were shipped to the rich south in the spring of the following year to be sold, textiles, gold and silver utensils, wine, spices and other luxury goods.

Originally, the Northland was a fragmented land. And now, a wise king has emerged, who aspires to dominate the entire Northland continent and even the surrounding islands, and become the emperor of the North Sea.

This person is working hard, and his subordinates are naturally fierce generals like clouds, and tens of thousands of tigers. In this fortress, a large number of defenders were stationed. Both in terms of numbers and quality, they are far superior to the previous Count of Hanthor.

It was not easy for Martin to fight his way out of the Earl of Hansa's men. Not to mention these ferocious Northland troops?

"But so what?" said Martin, "these are the North Sea King's men. Can you still command them?"

Count Hansa burst out laughing. "Command is not possible. But of course it is not a problem to ask them to clean you up, you know, in my capacity, it is very easy to have any connection with them. ”

Martin nodded. Trading of rights. For the Earl who is here, it is natural for him to have some connection with the people in this fortress.

Although he only has a few bodyguards with him now, he can use these Northlanders.

"However, even if you have a relationship in this area, I'm afraid you can't touch us casually. After all, "Martin swept around the nearby civilians. This fortress of the Northland people is also a businessman. There are a lot of people coming and going. "If there is an attack on innocents and the reputation is ruined, will there still be so many people who come here to trade?"

"You are not innocent. Count Hansa said word for word.

"Oh, so what charges have you laid out for me?" asked Martin. He didn't say anything about what sin I had committed. He knew very well that even if he was an innocent and innocent baby, the other party could charge him with a crime.

"You attacked my subordinates and stole my slaves. Count Hansa said.

"Who?" asked Martin.

"Of course it's her. The Count of Hansa told his plan nonchalantly. "Actually, I'm right. You know, I am the lord of a land, and I am entitled to the tribute of the place during the Sogon Parade, and that includes slaves, of course. ”

"But she's a free man. ”

"Shall I take her as a slave?" said the Count of Hansa, "in my eyes, it has long been regarded as my confinement. This is exactly what we should have as conquerors. ”

"Yes? I don't think it's right for one people to oppress another too much. The tide ebbed and flowed, and perhaps one day, the situation will become the conquered side. ”

"What's the matter with me?" said Count Hansa.

Martin sighed.

"It's you who protect her so much. Presumably it's the taste of the marrow. The Count of Hansa smiled a very sinister smile. "Yes, she is very well trained and has been trained for several years. Even excluding her looks, she's still a charming little thing. Authentic stunner. Oh, I know, she's got those skills, I've heard people boast about how ecstatic they are. What's more, there are so many tricks that you can enjoy without worrying about the taste. Her performance in bed was outstanding. Those positions, those techniques. I don't know how much you've enjoyed during this time. ”

Without looking back, Martin could guess that Sophia's face must have been bloodless at this time, and her face was white, and her expression was stiff. He could feel this from the small hands he was holding in his palms.

Sophia trembled again, and Martin even heard the sound of liquid dripping. He didn't have to look at it, he could feel it from the rhythm of his breathing.

"As I told you before, she's not the noble and chaste virgin of the usual tales. Facts speak louder than words, and are her performances something that ordinary women of good families can do?

"Me and her, nothing happened. Martin said.

"Oh, you're at a loss. It's true. Count Hansa shook his head. "I was going to say that you lost a forest for a tree, but now it seems that you haven't even tasted that tree. Why is this happening? Is she pretending to catch a big fish? Or is it something else? I thought ......

"Shut up!" Martin yelled.

At the same time, he let go of Sophia's hand. Just as Sophia looked up in surprise, Martin had already drawn his knife from its sheath and stood up in front of her.

"Enough!" Martin said.

"What? Do you think I'm insulting her? She did be someone else's ......?"

"Shut up!" Martin said again. The voice was very cold. The Count of Hansa was stunned.

"Well, you're still rampant. "Don't you understand the situation," he said, "or do you think that the losses you have inflicted on me will make me content with her alone? But it's also an outstanding beauty. Let's take them as compensation. ”

"I hate, no, I hate this kind of treating people like slaves. Martin's voice grew even colder.

He's not just for Sophia. Rather, in the face of people like the Count of Hanthor, he had a natural aversion based on his own experience.

"You hate it?" said Count Hansa as he waved his hand. "This gangster wants to keep attacking me!"

Several bodyguards quickly stopped in front of him. Not only that, but from the surrounding city walls, the city gates, the towers, and the stairs, a large number of Northland warriors emerged.

These people were covered in thick furs, the fur of beasts. There are wolves, bears, and some are provided by unknown monsters. And those furs are obtained by the hands of the warriors themselves. And underneath the fur is a sturdy heavy armor that protects them from harm. They wore pointed conical helmets with nose protection. Holding their respective weapons in their hands. Some were armed with the famous two-handed axe, a heavy and terrifying weapon. Others armed themselves with swords and shields, and they were famous Northland swordsmen. And, of course, there were a number of spearmen who lay their weapons flat and pointed their sharp spears at Martin's group. Behind the spearmen, there were many crossbowmen standing on the roofs, walls, and towers, and they raised their weapons and aimed at their targets. These people add up to dozens of people.

In addition to these Northland warriors, there are also several spellcasters mixed in. Among them were mages dressed in robes and holding staffs. There is also a Northland priest who is a maverick here and likes to wear plate armor and ride on a horse to fight with a war hammer.

Being besieged and flanked by so many people, even if Martin and the others have three heads and six arms, they can't escape. The enemy has an overwhelming numerical superiority, and it occupies a geographical advantage. These northerners are also known for being good at fighting, and it is difficult for Martin and others to restrain the opponent's numerical superiority with the advantage of strength.

"How's that? are you going to be caught with your hands tied, or are you going to stubbornly resist?" said the Earl triumphantly.

"I think there's one thing you don't understand. Martin said lightly.

"Oh, what else do you have to say now?" wondered the Earl.

"That is, it's not just you. Martin smiled. "Is there a commander you know who speaks more effectively, or is the commander-in-chief of this fortress more authoritative?"

The count's face changed suddenly.

At the same time, a majestic voice shouted: "Get out of the way to the barracks at once! If anyone dares to disobey the order, they will be killed!"

Suddenly, the Northlanders looked at the place where the voice came from.

Standing there was none other than the supreme commander of the fortress.

"How's that?" Martin said lightly. "Looks like you're going to be in trouble. ”

Well, mainly because I didn't have a strong waist some time ago. That's why it's been postponed until now. Previously it was the cervical spine, now it is the lumbar spine. Oops, oops. (>__<)

I originally planned to buy fish on Taobao. Now it seems, well, caution is needed. However, the ornamental fish from before at home have been bred several batches. It even feels like it can't be held anymore. ╮(╯▽╰)╭medaka is good for breeding. As for the previous apple snail, it was even more bursting. It made me wonder if I had fried it. In the office, I also put a small jar on my desk, and I am going to enter the Sakura shrimp underneath.
