Chapter 50: The Journey
The team was led by Baron Weldon, a rare retainer of the Hohenstringen family, one of the few enhanced knights of the Terror King in the entire Frontier, and a veteran of three generations of masters. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Inside the castle's vaults.
"Young master, at your current speed, by the time you are twenty years old, the number of harems will definitely exceed that of old masters and masters of the same age!"
"Hahaha, Uncle Weldon, just look at it, I've decided not to increase the number of people in the harem. ”
"The old man and the old man have said the same thing to me, and the Hohenstlingen family is definitely the same thing, but I don't think I've heard this sentence!"
These words were naturally said in a secret room where there were only the two of them, and now girls are generally arrogant, and if they know, it will turn the sky upside down.
"Young master, I met Miss Schönek when I was at Talenis Fortress, and she is also a flower in your back garden, right?"
"Well, I've tried to keep a low profile, uncle. How is Miss Schönek, and what do you think of her?"
"Haha, I think give her ten years, and our new mark Krai will become a paradise on earth. ”
"Yes, I have found that I have a treasure that is more valuable than any gem or magic weapon!" Salian knew that talent was what their family's rise lacked the most.
"Hehe, and ah, young master, have you made any progress in martial arts recently? ”
"I think I should have made some progress, uncle, how about going to the martial arts arena with me? By the way, I would like to ask you to do me a small favor. ”
"No problem, just let me see if you're lazy!"
In this way, Salian also sent someone to invite Teresa, Hilda and Aphroa to the martial arts arena together, the performance of a terrifying king knight is rare to see, they are all self-respecting figures, except for major competitions, they generally do not shoot.
Amid the cheers of the girls, Salian fought with Baron Weldon in the martial arts arena for three times... Three rounds, yes, just three rounds.
"Agreed, Uncle Weldon, it seems that our Control Terror Knight is indeed the natural enemy of the Enhanced Terror Knight! I also used this trick to defeat the Enhanced Terror Knight in last month's tournament. ”
"Hey, it's not okay to be unconvinced, young master, I'm afraid your current strength has entered the threshold of the Great Knight of Terror, and with such exquisite skills, ordinary sword saints and others no longer pose a threat to you. ”
"Hahahaha, the courage of the horseman is meaningless, what I want to learn from you most is the ability to lead troops to fight, no matter how strong a person is, it is useless in front of a well-trained army. ”
This is the girls standing on the side who are not happy.
Teresa said to Yulia on the side, "Let me come to the martial arts arena in my busy schedule, is this what I am looking at?"
"My brother probably has other ideas. ”
"Dad just wants to show himself in front of us and establish authority, we don't have to pay too much attention to it, this kind of trick didn't work thousands of years ago. ”
Only the orc girl felt that Salian's movements were so stretched, and she found the true meaning of the battle from the confrontation just now.
In the afternoon, Salian and Baron Weldon sat in the secret room again.
"Thank you, Uncle Weldon, for allowing you to play such a boring game with me, and deliberately lose to me. ”
"It's okay, one day you will easily defeat me, today is just a little bit of an experience in advance, wahaha!"
"It's a pity that the effect doesn't seem to be very good, and it only has a little use for the cat-eared girl. Oh, I don't know the current trend even though I'm young. ”
"Hehe, young master, it seems that although you are a leader of the new generation, you are still a traditional professional soldier like us at heart, and now in the era of historical transition, the style of respecting strength has gradually declined! I think you should be an important part of the future, and there are many new things to learn. ”
"Haha, why did you suddenly say such philosophical words. ”
The baron suddenly became very serious, and he said to Salian: "Well, this is what these older generations of martial artists expect from you, young master, you have to lead us into a new era, don't let us be abandoned by the torrent of history!"
Salian smiled in response.
"That's natural, the responsibility of being a prince of the empire and my education since childhood have made me fight against the gears of history even if I rebel against fate!"
Over the course of the following week, Salian had Baron Weldon and his men continue to practice, while he himself taught Aphroa little by little the secret art of Melempergaard's protective type. This can be done slowly, because the protective arcane technique Salian will not be used outside in the first place, so the orc girl does not need to practice this aspect of the fur to pretend to be Salian, and what Salian can't tell her is that the toys that are used as Hilda must also be more durable. On the other hand, as the inheritor of the martial arts of the life-saving benefactor, the cat-eared girl herself also wants to study seriously.
Moreover, the three branches of the protective horror secret art in Schwartenn Salian all want Aphroa to learn, which requires her to lay a good foundation, now first learn the Merlenpergard school, and after some achievements, it is not difficult to get the secret from Barenberg, the baron will not be a real heir in the first place, and Aphroya, as the Duchess of Vroburg, should learn her own secret art!
And so another week passed, and Lorana Ise, whom Salian had been waiting for, finally arrived at Strindberg, and the two who had not seen each other for more than a month embraced each other as if they were real husband and wife, and Salian hugged the beauty in his arms several times, but this happened in the splendid bedroom that the owner of the castle had prepared for Miss Schönek, and only the two of them were present. After this, Salian inevitably admired Lorana Is's beautiful legs again, and Miss Schönek also complimented Salian on the addition of another cat-eared girl with a hot body, of course, Salian did not respond positively.
Finally, Salian hugged the beauty and said to her.
"You're happy with this bedroom, dear Lorana Ise. ”
"Of course, I think it must have taken you a lot of effort to make such a cozy room, right?"
"Haha, not only the bedroom, but I have also arranged a special office for you in the castle, right next door to my study, connected by a secret door in the middle. ”
"Your Excellency, you have thought too well. ”
Now all that remains is to wait for news from Constance, and three days later, a crystal pigeon landed on the window edge of Salian's study, which Salian had given to Master Remingle, the head of the "Iron Shield" workshop some time ago, and its arrival meant that the final work was completed. Salian then went to Constance alone again, and from there he brought back a long box wrapped in blue satin that looked like a sword case. Curious, Salian didn't mean to show it, just that it would make things he wanted to do with the Rokenhausen family a lot easier.
Finally everything was arranged and the team was ready to go. After the Salian sent someone to inform Baron Barenberg and entrusted Ivan to the care of Moreau, a formidable team set out from Heishingen. On this journey, they will first head to Barrenberg to meet Baron Baronberg, and then head straight to Ulrich's domain.
The procession was led by the handsome Count of Hohenstlingen, and beside him was an old veteran with a short gray beard and a sword mark on his forehead, with a fierce face, and the wraith-like horse with a blood-colored glint in his eyes was even more chilling.
Behind them was a convoy of seven wagons, followed by one hundred and fifty horsemen in new black and red cut-out uniforms, who were not armoured and placed in their wagons because they were not in a state of war. But the cavalrymen's still serious appearance, the mighty horses under them, the long swords worn at their waists, and the spears in their hands all made the people along the way tremble. In particular, the banner depicting a black dragon hanging on the spear waving in the wind reflects that this is an elite army that can run rampant anywhere on the continent.
At Barenburg, three more carriages and fifty cavalry joined the ranks, and Baron Barenberg clearly attached great importance to travel. The procession was not slow, and three days later it was in the area of Froburg. Sitting in the carriage, Aphroya felt uncomfortable from the moment she arrived, and it was full of painful memories for her.
Just as they had reached a karst landscape, the main force, led by Baron Weldon, slowed down to ****** Blonn, the capital of Ulrich, at Salian's behest, and a small group of men quietly left the path.
It turned out to be a team of adventurers led by the skilled mercenary Meier, who were targeting a bandit lair in the mountains near here. Because of Ulrich's long-term lack of management of the territory, this area full of underground rivers and karst caves has become a paradise for bandits, and it is said that a strong man with far greater strength than in the past has unified the mountain here, and it seems that he wants to do something big.
Before setting out, Salian took on several missions along the way in the Adventurers' Guild in Konstanz, one of which was a new gold-level mission to destroy the newly powerful bandits. While protecting the territory and the people, you can also get a certain income, and take a few girls to increase some practical experience, why not?
The main force was led by a Knight of the Dread, a total of two hundred cavalry, and two elven sorceresses under Baron Barenberg to help, and Salian was completely at ease with them. As long as he conscientiously leads this small detachment, it can be regarded as a kind of experience in the art of commanding.
In addition to Salian, the horror knight, this team has good combat effectiveness, a water elemental (Yulia), a three-line dark mage (Teresa), a water magic warrior (Lorana Esi), a trainee horror knight (Aphroa), and a dragon (Hilda). Of course, this lineup also has certain flaws, except for Hilda, who is not usually used.
The leader, Salian, was not dressed as a mercenary Meyer, he thought that it would not be too difficult to deal with these bandits, as long as he did not leave him alive, there was no need to hide his identity at all, while the girls in the back were all dressed in beautiful new clothes and carrying their own weapons for travel, and Yulia also brought dry food in case of emergency.
Their newly-made clothes filled a whole carriage on this outing, and of course, we should be fair to say that a third of the place was devoted to Miss Schönek's shoes, and the other girls were more likely to save gold coins for Salian.
As they walked along the mountain paths, they discussed their plans for the enemy.
"Brother, our team seems to be a little unbalanced! Look at the six of us, three of them are half-output and half-control, you, Teresa and Lorana Ese, one half-output and half-recovery is me, and there is an unusable Aphroa and one unusable Hilda. "Yulia is smart, she hasn't forgotten what Salian told her. Hilda's identity as a black dragon cannot generally be revealed, and it is very dangerous for her to be discovered when she is still in the infant dragon stage.
"Haha, Yulia, you know our combat power very well, what do you think of Lorana Is?" Salian asked his female military advisor.
"Hehe, Your Excellency the Earl, we really don't have a shield and recovery service in the pure sense, but it can be arranged in this way, you use a shield and a chain hammer as a pure shield service, Yulia gives up the output and simply recovers, Teresa and I are responsible for the control and output, we let the girl of the cat-eared clan serve as a shield, and Hilda protects Aphroa, how about not taking action until the last resort?"
Naturally, Hilda has no objections, she only cares about the safety of her doll, and the others naturally have no opinion, so this arrangement can bring out the best in this team.
However, the world is impermanent, and no one can predict what will happen next.
