The elf said as if remembering something, "So you're the Dragon-Blood Swordsman, I've heard legends about you!"

"My legend?" Stannis was curious, he didn't remember anything about himself and the elves.

This is, Master Romon raised his hand and interjected, "She should be talking about your father, Your Excellency, the old Earl of Justinian who traveled far away when he was young. ”

Stannis remembered that there was indeed such an incident, that the Imperial envoy Sean Bing had said that he had indeed teamed up with Stennis Dad to have adventures when he was younger.

Natalie nodded, "At that time, it seems that he was also a human swordsman named Justinian, it is said that he had a sword made of Starfall, and fought with the Phoenix Sword Saint of our elf clan for three days and three nights, and that battle finally made the stars lose color, and in the end there was still no decisive victory, and the two sides finally fell in love with each other." ”

"......" Stannis had heard of the philosophy ♂ of male dueling, but he had not heard of interracial philosophy ♂.

"I've heard of it! I've heard of it! The Phoenix Sword Master is the strongest swordsman in your clan and the most beautiful elf! Boss, I didn't expect that your father not only has human mistresses all over the Western Continent, but also has this interracial romance, Xiao admires. ”

"I once asked your Excellency why your father lost the Starfall Sword, but he just smiled mysteriously and said that the sword was stolen on the banks of the Blackwater River, and now that I think about it, his mind must have been stolen as well. ”

Stennis dad still has this kind of affair, so could he be a hybrid of human and elf? But Stennis touched his ears, and they weren't pointy!

But when I think about it, I really don't have the impression of my mother, and when Stannis was a child, everyone, including his father, told him that his mother was dead.

Turns out my family is still so famous!Stannis thought to himself, and he was about to ask about the whereabouts of the family heirloom sword Starfall, only to see Natalie snuggled into Hamilson's arms with her eyes closed, and the man was touching her hair affectionately.

"It's almost time, it's time for this dinner to end. Anya whispered in Stennis understandingly.

Stannis immediately complied, and soon the banquet in the castle ended.

When Anya left, Stannis embarrassed to hold her and said, "Can you stay tonight?"

The woman smiled and shook her head, "I still have to go back and help Lucia take care of her daughter Aura, and you must have a lot to do tonight." ”

She was right, and soon in the little dark room of the castle, Stannis was sitting behind his long table, and across from him sat Hamilson.

The lord is going to have a private meeting with his guests.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Justine, for the dinner, but now it's time to get down to business. The corps commander said straight to the point.

Stannis didn't expect this guy to let the elf go and talk about business directly, his self-control is really strong.

"It seems that the Commander of the Romulo Regiment has already told you my message, Lord Hamilson. Stannis also decided not to go around in circles.

"That's right, Major Romulo has reported everything to me. And just call me Hansen, I am in a hurry for this trip, so I chose this kind of blizzard weather to come, and I ask you to forgive me again. ”

Stannis felt that the other party was too polite, and hurriedly said: "Where, where, it is already beyond my expectation that you can come." ”

Hansen didn't speak, he stared into Stannis's eyes, as if trying to see through his soul and make sure he could be his ally. Before he came, his six alien brothers were all opposed to his coming, not only because the Erathians were always treacherous, and they didn't know that this invitation was just a trap, but also because the lord who needed to establish a relationship was too weak, with less than a few dozen troops, and for Rhodok, who had 100,000 armor, twenty integrated legions, and controlled five kingdoms and sixteen provinces, such an insignificant lord did not even need to reply.

However, after hearing the report of the Romulo Commander to him about the lord, Hansen immediately felt that the lord named Stannis had the value of an alliance, not only for his fearlessness on the battlefield, but also for the fact that the lord's territory was thriving and becoming a new power to be reckoned with in the Near East (the geographical name given by the Western Continent for the border with the Ilisses Empire).

Maybe he is the man he is looking for, the most reliable ally in the face of the war of doom?

Hansen withdrew his gaze and said firmly: "On behalf of my brother, Roger Richardson, First Archon of the Republic of Rhodoc, I would like to invite you to form an alliance, and from now on your realm will be an ally of equal relations with us, and the people under your rule will enjoy the citizenship of Rhodok." If you visit our realm, you will also be considered the lord of a country and enjoy the same treatment as an archon. ”

Stannis said that he was a little caught off guard, he didn't say anything, and the other party took out so many gift packages to stun him and directly allied with him! And what is that citizenship? Is it worth as much as a green card in a lighthouse country?

"Well, thank you for your kindness, I just want to know what is the use of this citizenship, is there a lot of people who accept it?" asked the lord embarrassedly.

Hansen shook his head and replied honestly, "Although we have been working hard to promote citizenship to the Nords in the west for a year, not many people have embraced it. ”

"......" Stannis was a little speechless, it turned out that this was not a green card from a developed country, but an immigration invitation equivalent to Uncle Black!

Hansen then took out a thick stack of manuscripts from the bag he was carrying, on which Stannis could tell was densely written in ink.

"Your Excellency Stennis, I already know that you now want to work hard to build a professional army, so the soldiers recruited are all full-time professional soldiers like our Rhodok Legion, and they are trained throughout the year, which is very good, and can greatly improve the combat effectiveness and loyalty of your army. ”

Rather than lose himself in his praise, Stannis knew that the next 'but' was the point.

"However, the structure of your army is no different from that of the other lords of Erathia, except that it is roughly divided into infantry, archers and cavalry, which greatly reduces the coordination between your army, and you must know that in the future, we will no longer face a human army that is as honest as you, but monsters who do not follow the rules at all. ”
