Nicole sat on a piece of bluestone more than three meters high, her hands on her legs, her delicate chin resting on her knees, and her bright face was hidden by her long hair. At this point, she was a weak girl, not a powerful knight.

Seeing Nicole like this, Trisley sighed gloomily, she took Nicole, Bruce, Gris, and a group of four to the agreed place for three days, but Victor never appeared. They searched the area carefully, but found no trace of Victor. As time passed, Nicole became more and more silent, wondering if Victor had an accident.

Trisley was also a little worried, but she didn't think that Victor would have an accident, since Victor could send a message to Lilia, it meant that he was safe, not to mention that there were not many Ant-Men in this territory.

Trisley worries that Victor is deliberately avoiding them, and he is unwilling to give up his territory and return to Blackcastle with them. How can you explain this to Nicole? Could you tell Nicole that the family needs Victor's brick-making skills, and they also need to control his territory, and they can't let the secrets of the leader of Ant-Man leak out, so they sent her to bring Victor back? Victor is therefore reluctant to come out to meet her.

"Bruce, come over here, it's our dinner. ”

The old knight Gris dragged a half-sized boar out of the bushes. Bruce stepped forward to take his prey, skilfully cut off four pork legs, and roasted them over a campfire.

The blues are still very good at cooking wild meat, and after a while, the tempting aroma of barbecue overflows. Gris snorted, "Good work! Grerd is such a harsh fellow. ”

Bruce smiled wryly, noble knights don't do menial work, but hunting is the exception, and this is a skill that every squire knight must master. This skill allows the knight to fill his stomach in the field and also to please his own teacher, Bruce was also a trainee knight, and Grerd is Bruce's teacher, a witty and lazy old knight.

Bruce doesn't know Gris, and there is always some power hidden in the shadows in the family, but Griss obviously knows his teacher, and the strangeness fades with a sentence.

"Do you know my teacher?"

Gris nodded, with a look of remembrance in his eyes, "Yes, it's a pity that he died too early, if it wasn't because of 。。。。。。。 ”

"Is it time for dinner?" Trisley interrupted Gris, not wanting to hear anyone talk about it.

Bruce said playfully, "Do you want to call Nicole down?"

"Leave her alone! she won't come down anyway. ”

There was some dissatisfaction in Trisley's tone. Nicole sits on a high place so that her sweetheart can see her at any time, but Victor never shows up. To Trisley, Victor is a cold-blooded lord, and Nicole is a complete fool.

"Young people, there will always be some inexplicable persistence. Gris whispered.

Bruce sighed: "It was here, with the help of Victor, that Nicole slew the old ogre and was promoted to knight at the same time. I was impressed by Victor's bravery。。。。。。。 ”

"Baron Victor is now a ruthless lord, and Nicole once wanted to risk her life to rescue him. And he refused to come out to see Nicole in order to keep his position, and his short-sightedness and cold-bloodedness surprised me. I don't feel worth it for Nicole. Trisley said coldly.

Bruce was a little embarrassed, obviously the family was taking advantage of Victor's feelings for Nicole, but in Trisley's mouth, it was Victor's fault. But he wouldn't try to argue with a woman, especially if she was a silver-tier knight.

"Baron Victor is smart, he'll figure it out. The Baron is just too young and can be a bit headstrong. "Knight Gris once lived in Victor Territory as a farmer for a while. The old knight was amazed by Victor's whimsical ideas, and he thought that Victor was a genius.

Trisley snorted, but didn't speak. She had to admit that several knights in the family who had been in close contact with Victor valued Victor, including Sylvia.

It was getting dark, and two kilometers away from here, on a mound, Victor was standing on a thirty-meter-tall redwood tree, looking out at Nicole from afar. The distance and darkness could not stop his sharp gaze.

As soon as Nicole and the others entered the territory, Victor knew, but he left them dry for three days.

On the one hand, Victor needs to take advantage of this time difference to arrange for three Spirit Monkey militia to go to Blackcastle Town, and they will mix in with Victor's orders among the War Bear mercenaries. Victor can imagine that once he enters the territory of the York family, he will be isolated, because the York family will not allow Ant-Man's secrets to leak out until they have negotiated with other forces.

Victor, on the other hand, doesn't know how to face Nicole.

Victor knows that Nicole likes him, and he likes Nicole, but it's not love. For Nicole, Victor once faced the old ogre without hesitation, and he couldn't sit back and watch a beautiful girl who liked him die at the hands of monsters. At that time, Victor had not long crossed over, and he still had blood in his heart, valued life, and was ignorant. And now Victor has been polished into a lord who is accustomed to looking at problems from the perspective of interests.

If he hadn't received information from Baror, Victor would definitely go directly to see Nicole, who didn't have many friends in this world, and Nicole's feelings for him were precious. But now, Victor has to wonder about Nicole's motives. This suspicion makes Vic resentful, and he is reluctant to meet Nicole and Bruce.

In the hazy moonlight, Nicole sitting on the bluestone looked so weak and lonely, and Victor was deeply touched. He began to torture his own heart. Is it for the sake of power and wealth, to turn yourself into a cold person, to give up family, love, friendship, what is the point of such success? As a knight, Nicole is strong, and as a girl, she is also weak, today she can be ruthless to her, tomorrow she will sacrifice Nelson, sacrifice Lilia, is this what you want?

I have suffered a lot of setbacks and changed a lot, but I shouldn't change my nature. Changing one's nature in order to adapt to one's environment is a sign of weakness. A truly strong person should become wiser and more decisive in the face of adversity, but he will never go with the flow and become himself who he is not himself.

"Nicole is young and pretty, and she is still a knight, since she likes her, go get her, and snatch her from the hands of the Yorks!" Victor's eyes became firm and bright.

Victor slid down against the trunk of the tree, his body as light as a feather, and when he reached the ground, he said to Nelson, who was guarding the side, "Nelson, during this time, be careful yourself. Remember, never go near any camp in your territory, especially a hill camp!"

Nelson said, "My lord, I'll be careful, and you have to be careful. ”

"The Countess of York is not a very vicious person. Victor was silent for a moment, "It's you who are most dangerous, but as long as you don't get close to the camp, it's not a big problem." ”

Victor decides to go to Blackcastle, and just in case, he prepares a back-up plan: leave Nelson outside, and if a bad situation arises, Nelson will carry out a rescue plan with the alchemy militia. The plan and details of the rescue have also been carefully considered.

In fact, Victor believes that Sylvia will not do anything to him, but will buy himself. Of course, house arrest is essential until the York family and other forces reach a consensus. Victor just needed time to complete his layout.

On the contrary, Nelson, who is wandering outside, will be very dangerous, and the York family will not show mercy to his subordinates in order to eliminate the hidden danger. However, with the presence of the Dust Falcon and the Mastiff, it was almost impossible for the knights of the House of York to find Nelson.

"I'm leaving! I'll take Renault and Shak away, and the rest will be handed over to you!"

Victor patted Nelson on the shoulder and turned towards Nicole's place, with two militiamen following closely behind.

Just two hundred meters away, Victor was spotted.

"Who!" exclaimed Trisley.

Before Victor could answer, Nicole had already thrown herself into his arms, the wet tears on her shoulders, and the trembling delicate body in her arms, just like when she faced the ferocious gnoll.

"I'm sorry to worry you. ”

——————————————

Tall, strong, with short brown hair like steel needles, he exudes toughness and confidence, and as the most effective silver knight under the Marquis of Somme, Vincent has the ability to be proud.

At this time, Vincent stood there respectfully, waiting for Sylvia's questioning.

"Is that what Marquis Somme meant alone?" said Sylvia, smiling softly as she put down the Marquis Somme's letterhead to write hers.

Her long fiery red hair is casually pulled behind her head, her delicate face is filled with a charming smile, and her delicate red lips look particularly seductive against the background of her snow-white skin. No matter how you look at it, Sylvia's beauty is impeccable.

But in Vincent's eyes, behind this beauty was the power to destroy him, and he said more and more respectfully: "The Marquis has united with the two earls, a viscount, and the Duke of Neo, and is determined to support the restoration of the Duke of York in the Senate. ”

Vincent, as a silver knight, did not need to be deferential and almost groveling, but at this time, the York family is very dangerous, and the highness in front of him is as fearsome as a volcano about to erupt, no one knows when her anger will erupt and will be poured out there, and the Somme family will bear the brunt, who will make them neighbors?

Sylvia bowed slightly, and emphasized: "I have felt the kindness of the Marquis of Somme, but this is not enough! ”

Vincent's heart was full of bitterness, and indeed a group of Ant-Men had entered the family territory, and the family's army watched them wreak havoc on the farmland, and the Marquis of Somme strictly ordered not to provoke them. The fate of the Chebman family and the Buryat family is well known, these monsters kill one to a group, and kill a group to a large group. If it weren't for the huge amount of Ant-Man attracted by the House of York, the Marquis of Somme would have been devastated. So, the House of York cannot be withdrawn!

The Marquis of Somme has contacted the other lords in the western part of the kingdom and will fully support the York family to quell this ant plague, and it is best to convince the York family to garrison the centaur hills, the family's scholars believe that the ant-man has insect characteristics, and there is likely to be an ant queen behind the ant tide, and they will never attack in more than one wave.

"Your Highness, we will send an army to help you exterminate Ant-Man!" Vincent said firmly.

Sylvia shook her head and said, "Fighting Ant-Man in the wild is not the best option. The best way to do this is to use the castle to weaken their numbers and then send an army to exterminate them. We in York can hold on to the hills, but we need material support. By the way, Bishop Perrot is in favor of our plan. ”

Vincent was overjoyed, and the support materials were a trivial matter, and he was afraid that after the York family accepted the supplies, they would turn around and move eastward. Now, with the endorsement of the church, that's no problem.

"We will definitely support the York family!"

Sylvia smiled with satisfaction, everything was planned, just short of Vic.
