Chapter 257: Expedition
"What did you say?
Before he could react to the news, Stannis was pushed into a small dark room, where an emaciated young man sat across from him.
"Little Earl, I thought you ran away scared, how are you, are you ready?"
Stannis didn't seem to hear him, and was still muttering to himself, "Why did Aya leave me?"
"Aya?" the black mage gave his old classmate a strange look, and the latter said helplessly, "She's an illusionist, and although she wants to hide her identity, she's still too young to suppress the magic on her body. ”
"And what about the relationship between the two?" the black mage seemed interested.
Maester Romon sighed, "According to Your Excellency, they are lovers, but that doesn't stop him from marrying Miss Anist. ”
"Young man, I envy that we can love each other like this without caring for anything!" said Vincent, smiling, but casting a small spell on his hand to force the distraught Stannis to listen to what he had to say.
"Listen, boy, your things have nothing to do with me! The only thing you need to know now is that if you dare to hinder my revenge, don't blame me for taking your life away in the most cruel way, and even Romy won't be able to save you, do you understand?"
Stannis was instantly awakened by his terrifying murderous aura, and nodded busily and smiled: "Of course, my army has been assembled and can set off at any time." ”
"But I still haven't figured out how to destroy the Divine Seal. "It's rare that there are things in this world that Vincent doesn't know.
And Stannis, who had already got the method from Hawkins, said seriously: "Don't worry, just leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it, as long as I can get close to the Divine Seal, I will be sure to destroy it!"
Vincent looked at Romon with a slight smile on his face, and it seemed that he was beginning to be satisfied with the role that the time-traveler had played so far, and even the real Stan might not be as good as he was.
"No wonder my old classmate wants to save you at the cost of his life, it looks like you really have something special on you, as long as you leave, I will come to help immediately, don't let me wait too long. ”
With that, the young man vanished from the house in a dark shadow.
Seeing the attitude of Stannis who was neither humble nor arrogant just now, this greatly surprised Bachelor Romone.
"Your Excellency, there are very few people in this world who can still speak fully in front of the murderous Vince...... Your Excellency !?"
Romon exclaimed, and by this time Stannis was slumped on the ground, not because of fear, but because of Anya's departure.
The cunning and haughty woman as a cat said goodbye to Stannis's heart so devastating that Robert and Korodov privately doubted whether the expedition would go as planned.
Anya didn't look so ruthless either, she still left a letter, and although the love-hated Stannis wanted to throw it into the fire, he couldn't help but open it, and the letter still had the woman's unique fragrance on it.
'H.E. Stennis Justin himself:'
This beginning made Stannis very unhappy, she still used this kind of polite name after being together for so long, making them look like outsiders.
"I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye this time, do you remember when I told you that I finally found the enemy? Although you promised me that you would accompany me after this battle, I can't wait, I have been trying to slash that smiling man day and night for the past ten years, as soon as I close my eyes, that disgusting front of my eyes, so please forgive me for my willfulness, he is rumored to appear in Fenix in the south, I will wait there for a week, I hope you will come, if you fail to come, I will take revenge on him alone. Please don't worry about me, I'm Anya from the Phoenix family, and even if everything is in ruins, I will live in it.
Your most loyal"
Stannis put down the letter and looked out the window, where the sky was no longer white.
He smiled, then carefully folded the letter and tucked it into his close-fitting pocket, placing it with Luca's letter.
Then he stood up, picked up the two long swords leaning against the bed at the same time, and inserted them into his crotch, and raised the shackles that stood next to the door against him.
"Now that the phoenix has set out on her revenge, the dragon is going to save the world. ”
Korodov shouted in front of everyone in his loud voice: "The First Corps of the Thunder Legion!"
Hundreds of people responded to him and began to line up in the form of a hundred to prepare for the march, with Ziviny's troops taking the lead, followed by the Watcher Legion, followed by the various lords' troops, the Elasia Imperial Army in the middle, and the rearguard by the Black Dog Mercenary Regiment.
A total of 2,400 troops marched for miles from the square in front of the castle, and the road was lined with farewelling civilians, no one with a smile on their faces, for no one knew whether they would shed tears for their unreturned relatives.
It had been a long time since he had seen such a large army, and Stannis believed that this was far from his limit.
The lord stopped at the entrance of the realm at this time, watching the soldiers pass by in front of him, trying to remember everyone's faces, the heroes who didn't know they were going to save the world.
"Your Excellency, it's time for us to go. Maester Romon reminded him in a whisper.
Stannis nodded, then asked, "Turnip, are the boats ready to cross the Tiber?"
Robert hurriedly stepped forward, and since the last time they withdrew from the other side of the river, they had been breaking the ice to keep the lake from freezing.
"No problem, boss, I've had people stop breaking the ice a few days in advance, and now there is absolutely no problem crossing the river from above. ”
"Good job, turnips, give you a raise. Stannis applauded.
"Don't! This battle is really going to the grave, don't let that promise go unto you. Robert also seemed to know that the trip was a bad luck.
And Korodov on the side also began to urge, "My lord, don't say any more, we are very short on time, everyone has to cross the river tonight, reach the outskirts of the city tomorrow morning, and start building a camp, so we have to leave quickly!"
Stannis nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and then he swung his whip vigorously and galloped towards the east.
