Night began to fall on the land of Sagron, and candles began to light up in the castle. Mrs. Red had been preparing for this day for a long time.

On the dining table, there is a sumptuous meal that is only placed during the holidays. Seeing these delicacies in front of him, Winter was already impatient with his knife and fork, and Haight, who was sitting next to him, yawned with his hand on the table.

With the sound of footsteps from far and near, Frank and Walter walked into the dining room alone. Both of them sat down in their chairs with their faces sunk into water, and Winter looked at his father, Frank, and then at Walter, who immediately straightened up and sat up.

Seeing that no one spoke, Winter rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, do you think my archery skills are good again?" I shoot a hundred arrows a day. ”

Walter realized that his mother and younger brothers were looking at him, and he smiled and said, "Well, it's a lot better." Now you can shoot so far away. When you grow up, you'll be better than me. ”

"I'll tell you, Haidt can't even hit a target ten meters away right now!" said Winter, looking at Haidt proudly.

"I don't have the strength you have, but what's the use of shooting arrows just by me. Wisdom is the most important thing, and you are so old that even Midigot doesn't know it. Haight retorted without showing weakness.

"Knowing what it's for, dragons are creatures that live in legends. It's long gone. Have you seen it?" said Winter, grimacing.

Haight looked at his parents and brother Walter and said, "There must still be dragons, right?" They haven't disappeared, that's not a legend. Winter was not right. ”

Mrs. Red hurriedly came out to stop him and said, "Don't fight, Walter is back today." You have a good meal. Eat more at Water. Mrs. Red gave them a look.

Winter and Haight saw their father, Frank, eating with a knife and fork, but there was still no expression on his face. In an instant, there were no words, and they all began to bow their heads and eat the dinner in front of them. Mrs. Red asked Walter questions as she ate, and Winter interjected from time to time.

Frank didn't listen to what they were talking about, and his mind was all about the dragon that Haidt and Winter were arguing about.

Did all the creatures that once dominated the continent really disappear more than a hundred years ago? It was recorded in the book, but is it real? Is it still there? He knows the answer, but he doesn't seem to know the answer.

In Frank's musings and the lively exchange of family members, the Rhett family finally had their most delicious dinner in months. After the meal, Walter was pestered by his brothers and dragged back to their room, and Frank and his wife went back to their room to rest.

In the brothers' room, Walter told the brothers about the people and scenery he saw in the Western Fortress, and Winter and Haidt listened as they imagined the scenery of the Western Fortress and looked forward to where they could go.

After both Winter and Haight were asleep, Walter quietly walked back to his room. He collapsed on the bed, his mind still remembering his father's expression. What is it that makes my always optimistic father always express his worries in his words?

While Walter was meditating, a carrier pigeon flew back to the coop outside Frank's room in the night.

The sound of the pigeon coop made Frank, who had just fallen asleep, sit up again, and he quickly walked to the pigeon and saw the new carrier pigeon at a glance. It was a scarred white carrier pigeon with some of its feathers already charred. Frank gently took out the creed and gently put the pigeon back in the cage.

In the bright moonlight, Frank saw the words on the top of the creed. It's messy text, with a few words scrawled on it: "Red dragon spits fire everywhere, come to the rescue." After reading the Creed, Frank looked at the back of the letter, and the words "North of Sagron" were printed on it.

This is the seventh letter Frank has received in five days, and there have been so many attacks in the north in just three days. What bothers Frank the most is the creature described above, the Red Dragon.

Although it was a little difficult to accept at first, the letters had dispelled all of Frank's concerns. The territory he guarded was once again in crisis, and this time more serious than ever.

Frank stood on the castle balcony with his hands on the railing, his eyes looking out over the city. In the dimly lit city, people are already immersed in happy dreams, but Frank can't sleep. At this point, his brain was no longer functioning, just looking into the distance, silently watching.

Outside the Western Fortress, the cries of animals in the deep forest could be heard from time to time in the dark night. The two sentinels were chatting, and in a few weeks they would be able to follow the Brown Knight back to Dragonclaw, and they didn't notice the group quietly marching not far from them, hoping for family and food. With years of experience at night, these men quickly passed through the Western Fortress in the darkness of night.

After passing through the Western Fortress, the entire continent was relatively flat, and the group quickly began to assemble not far from the fortress, and after gathering enough, they continued their march north.

The sun always rises again, and when the warmth returns to the earth, people start a new day. Walter and his brothers had breakfast and went to the open field to practice. Frank also came to the clearing with great interest after visiting the Shaw Knight.

In the clearing, Winter and Haidt are dueling, and they attack each other with their practice wooden swords. Frank walked over to the side of the field and watched the situation unfold.

He saw that Haidh still had a wooden shield in his hand. But under Winter's onslaught, he was clearly no match. Beads of sweat kept popping up on his head, and he could only use the wooden shield in his hand to defend against the flying wooden sword.

And Winter, who got the advantage, seemed to be at ease. From time to time, the sword in his hand began to change angles and cornered Haight.

I saw Winter sweep his leg over, right in the heel of Haight. Haight stumbled, and Winter knocked Haidt down. Seeing that the victory was decided, Walter immediately stopped them.

"Yes, yes, Winter you can compete with me. Walter touched Winter's head and complimented.

Hearing the compliment, Winter looked at it proudly, and found that his father was standing next to him, and his face did not feel serious. Walter dragged Haight up and patted the dust off his body. "Good performance, don't be discouraged. It's a lot better than before, next time let Winter see how good you are. Walter said to Haight.

"I know. He always wants to show his strength in front of you so that you can take him out. Isn't it two years older than me? In two years, I will be better than him. Haight said and pursed his lips at Winter.

"I'm going to get stronger. Cut!" said Winter, sticking out his tongue at Haight.

While the Rhett brothers were talking, a soldier came up to Frank and said something. Frank listened and turned away. Seeing his father leave in a hurry from a distance, Walter sensed that something might be about to happen, so he asked his younger brothers to continue practicing martial arts, and he quickly caught up with Frank.

"Father, Winter is growing up so fast. In a few years, he will be able to take on the responsibility. Walter said.

Frank continued to stride as he said to Walter, "Your brothers have a lot of potential. But it's not useful now, maybe the future is theirs, but we are needed now. ”

The first time Walter heard the word "us", his heart beat unconsciously and violently. He took a closer look at his father and found that his hair had appeared sporadically gray. A sense of responsibility welled up in Walter's heart.

Father and son returned to the castle together, and in the hall there was a man walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. The man had a slender body, blonde hair, and wore a blue velvet shirt and brown trousers underneath.

Walter could tell at a glance that this man was Brell Reed, lord of Kayyu Castle and one of the five lords of the Modian region.

When Frank saw Breel, he quickly opened his hand and said, "Oh, my brother. You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for the past two days. The two men hugged each other and patted each other.

Brell smiled and said, "How dare I slack off when you call me over, that's Walter! I don't even dare to admit it after not seeing me for a year." I've grown a lot taller!"

Hearing that he was talking about himself, Walter hurriedly saluted Brell to welcome him. Frank didn't say much, and dragged Brell to the conference hall and sat down. After chatting a little about their respective families, Frank took out the creed he had received yesterday from his waist and handed it to Breye.

Brell looked at the text on it and took a deep breath, saying, "It's incredible that the red dragon has reappeared." How can something that has been gone for a hundred years reappear. Does Daniel know?"

"I also wrote to him, I don't know if he can come today. If we can come, we will leave tomorrow. Op will join us from the north. Frank replied.

"Are you going to take him with you, then?" said Breyer, glancing at Walter, who was sitting next to him, to Frank.

Frank understood what Brell meant, nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Hua is seriously injured. It is impossible to be good without two or three months. I've written to Jones, who is heading to Fort West, to head north as soon as he gets handed over. This time it's a big deal, and I need manpower. Walter was also old enough to go to war. ”

"Uncle Breel, what did you say, the dragon, the red dragon, the red dragon, where did it appear?" Vought, his eyes widened as he heard their conversation.

Brell looked at Frank and said, "You haven't told him yet!"

"Yes, it's the Red Dragon. It has attacked several villages in the northern part of Sagron, and I have received urgent letters from several village chiefs. Knight Xiao Hua went to investigate this matter, and was injured by the attack of Ovan on the road. Frank explained in a deep voice.

"Red Dragon, Owan. Is this what my father has always been worried about?" said Walter. He suddenly understood the source of his father's distress for the past few days.

"Yes, I received Xiao Hua's letter three days ago. He told me to gather the Knights, he had already seen the ruined village. I've been blocking news right now, just to reduce panic. No one knows if the red dragon will come to Dragonclaw City. Frank said.

Before Frank could continue, the door slammed open. Then walked into a middle-aged man with a blank face. The man was of medium stature with black eyes that shone sharply.

Seeing the man coming in through the door, a smile appeared on Frank's face. Then Frank stood up and said, "Daniel, you are here." Hurry up and sit down. We're about to talk about it. ”

Daniel sat down unceremoniously across from Frank and said to Frank, "What's the matter?

"That's right, we should discuss countermeasures, otherwise the whole continent will not be at peace. Frank explained.

"It's not us, it's you! Daniel said coldly and loudly.

"It's our people who have been hurt, and as a member of the Rhett family, what's the difference. Frank retorted.

Daniel waved his hand and said, "Okay." Brother, there is no need to say these wordplays. Brell is here too, and my troops are already outside the city. When do we start moving. I also want to see the power of the red dragon. After all, it was once the defeat of our ancestors. As the heir, you won't be afraid!"

"Haha, you're still so unrelenting. Since you're here, we'll leave tomorrow. I've almost prepared the supplies these days. It's great that you're here. Frank said.

"Tomorrow? Didn't you just say you wanted to protect the people? Tomorrow, I don't know how many people will be displaced today. I propose to lead the army now. I think my eldest nephew thinks the same way!" Daniel said, looking at Walter on the side.

Hearing these words, Walter immediately stood up and said, "I also agree with my uncle's point of view, we should act immediately. Fix this matter as soon as possible. ”

Seeing Walter's statement, Daniel immediately took over and said, "Okay, worthy of the future duke, the son of Franck." Then I'll be waiting for you outside the gates. With that, Daniel got up and left the hall.

Daniel's departure embarrassed Walter a little, and only then did he realize that what he had just said might have been a bit abrupt. He looked at his father, and Frank didn't say much.

Then Frank stood up and said, "Since you think so, then follow me." Breel, you wait here for me first, and we'll talk about the rest later. ”

With that, Walter followed Frank out of the hall as well.
