Goodman, Duke of Esson, was a typical nobleman, who could not do anything but pleasure. Three sons, the eldest of whom had elemental talents, left home for Hohenheim as a teenager and never returned to the family fiefdom except for a letter from the family once every few months. The second son was the most politically minded, and in order to dispel the doubts of his suspicious father, he only brought a hundred private soldiers to Vaolet when he became an adult. The third son was born illegitimate with a maid, and his status was underground, and he finally became a necromancer in order to get ahead, and before he could break through the roll call, he became the first test of Link who had just crossed over to Edgar and was annihilated.

Instigated by others, the duke went into battle lightly with only 5,000 cavalry, and he wanted to teach a lesson to the unfilial son who wanted to fly when his wings were hard. It just so happened that Link also wanted to take this opportunity to make Valolet truly independent.

After leaving the nearest town in a hurry, the Duke did not know how the situation had changed overnight. When he arrived at Woollet, he realized that the former satellite city of Hohenheim had changed dramatically, and it was very different from what he remembered. The lush forest seems to have moved a lot outward, revealing a clear outline of the city, which had been protected by the barrier and built a towering wall.

The whole cut rock shocked the Duke's heart, this volume and weight are by no means easy to carry by manpower, not to mention that there is a forest on the periphery, how can these stones be transported without cutting down trees?

The dwarves had returned to the ground two months earlier in order to reclaim their city, and even if Valolet had a population of 30,000, Servis would never have completed such a large project in just two months. What's more, the information that was planted in Wacheng a few days ago did not mention anything about it. Who has the ability to complete it in such a short period of time? Hornheim? Doesn't it mean that it has already been evacuated?

The Duke asked his accompanying staff mage to contact the spies hiding in the city, and from the communication stone came an unsettling answer to Goodman's - the Child of Nature, who had just flown to Vaolet this morning.

Goodman was a little worried, and despite repeated assurances from his staff that it was impossible for the Children of Nature to ignore the precepts, he could not be reassured.

There are various rumors about this child of nature who is not only gender and from another world. In order to obtain accurate and not anecdotal information, Goodman did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to inquire about it.

The first appearance was in Befast four months ago, and it is said that thanks to him, the remnants of the soldiers were able to support the Dawn Cult during the tragic Siege of Grantham. Then came to Valolet, who secretly assisted Bray in replacing Lorelei as the new god of magic, breaking Hohenheim's usual neutral position. Later, he supported a man of unknown origin to ascend to the position of Duke Kronberg, which not only resolved the words of Princess Frannie and the nobles in the Hall of Mirrors, but also turned it into a perfect stage appearance, confirming the legitimacy of the Duke of Kronberg. By the way, Frannie lost the support of the royal family's biggest backer, Hohenheim. In less than half a year, the United Kingdom has broken a 40-year-old stalemate, and that alone is not to be underestimated.

Goodman did not attend the Hall of Mirrors meeting, which was chaired by Frannie. Although he is one of the six princes. But Esson's territory was less than a quarter of that of Kronberg, and whether to go or not had no real effect. Because Valolet gained true independence from Hohenheim and formed an alliance with the dwarven clans, Goodman felt that he could not hold his head up in front of the other nobles, and Servis did not take his father seriously at all. With the help of his staff, he decided to take back the administration of Vaolet in order to show that he was still lord of Esson.

Goodman's perception of warfare, like that of most nobles, remained at the level of charging on horseback and hand-to-hand combat. The Elemental Tide has drastically reduced the number of mages and made them less powerful than before. Even the demon warriors have almost disappeared, after the invasion of the undead. Except for Hohenheim, there are very few mages outside, and even if there are, most of them are only low-level elemental envoys, and the spells they master cannot play a role in changing the tide of battle in an instantaneous battle in a large-scale battle. After the initial shock and apprehension, Goodman took it for granted that as long as the Children of Nature did not intervene, Serves's meagre garrison and mercenaries would not be able to resist the five thousand horsemen he led.

While the Duke was imagining, the staff mage who came with him looked down at the ground under his feet, and even shot a ball of light to illuminate it.

Snort –

The soft white light illuminated the night, and the cavalry behind him exclaimed.

Goodman's thoughts were pulled back, and the ground was like a plough field turned over by a plough rake, drawing deep ravines into which their entire team could have been trapped if they had gone a little further. Not deep enough to break a neck, but enough to trap the horses.

This trap is also too shallow, Goodman ridiculed his son in his heart for living more and more, and wanted to stop me with this little trick?

The staff mage dismounted with a solemn face, and personally touched the edge of the pit like a knife and an axe.

Goodman couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's a strong wind element, it's not a horse trap, it's caused by some kind of spell. ”

As soon as the mage said this, Goodman also put away his contempt. No matter how arrogant he is, he will not underestimate the children of nature, after all, the merits are there, and it can be said that he can defeat the ambitious Princess Frankie without moving a single soldier. No matter how weak the royal family is, none of the princes will be the first bird, for fear that as soon as they send out their troops, they will be taken advantage of by other lords.

"Spencer, are you really sure that the children of nature won't make a move?" What he saw in front of him was different from what he expected, and Goodman's heart was still a little uncertain.

"The previous human child of nature was disqualified for helping humans against orcs, and it should be the same here. Whether it's Hohenheim or Esson, it's the domain of humanity, and it's not the turn of the children of nature to intervene. The mage nodded firmly.

Goodman breathed a sigh of relief, took the scroll handed by the mage and unfolded it, the runes on the parchment paper wound flashed, indicating that the spell had been activated, the duke took a deep breath and shouted: "Servis, you unfilial son, get out of here!"

The loud voice spread out in all directions under the effect of amplification, and Link and the others went up the city wall. That's what I heard.

Link turned sideways to look at the person who was named, "Lord Duke actually led his troops into battle himself. ”

Servis felt his face heat and wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

After nightfall, the lights of Vaolet are still bright, the night market is prosperous, and the duke's roar makes the whole market area boil again. Servis felt embarrassed.

This old man, who usually hides in the mansion when he needs to fight against the undead, can't hide, but when he shouldn't come out, he runs faster than anyone else. I don't know what he thinks, I'm his own son, how can I fall into the well at this time?!

"City Lord, why don't you go out to meet you?" Link asked in a faint tone.

The corners of Servis' mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer.

"With only five thousand cavalry, I should be able to handle it. "Looking up, by the faint light on the opposite side, Duke Link's soldiers were all light cavalry, and their mounts were also ordinary horses.

Servis, who vaguely felt that something was wrong, didn't have time to say anything. Link, who had suddenly transformed, grabbed him and took off.

"Wait...... Wait a minute~ This is too dangerous, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a time to miss......" Servis, who has a fear of heights, is so frightened that his limbs are weak, and he is weak to speak.

Suddenly, a huge wind falcon appeared on the bare rock. The mage raised his staff. Cast a talisman enchantment on themselves and the duke, and the cavalry behind them would not have such treatment.

In the blink of an eye, the falcon flew overhead.

The size of the falcon was beyond Goodman's cognition, and he had never seen such a huge falcon in his life, and his throat was suddenly a little dry. "Didn't you say he wouldn't and couldn't make a move?!"

The mage didn't answer, just stared at Link above his head as he landed grabbing Servis.

When father and son saw each other, they were not happy, but just glared at each other.

"This is the Duke of Esson, what do you want to do with so many cavalry to Vaolet?"

Goodman's gaze shifted to the man beside his son. Both in height and physique, he is thinner than Servis, but he exudes an aura that cannot be ignored. What made him even more annoying was that there was no respect in the eyes of this man who looked directly at him.

"Needless to say, take back the autonomy that Hohenheim has granted. Goodman replied sullenly. The original fear of the gods has also been dissipated by the attitude of the children of nature, and the pillar has never interfered in the internal affairs of mankind, and this time will not be an exception. This rule, which has lasted for thousands of years, emboldens him.

Link laughed twice, causing Servis on the side to break out in a cold sweat. Obviously has a calm attitude, why does he feel a little cold?

Then, Servis knew why he felt the way he did.

"City Lord, whose blessing is this Hohenheim giving up his management of Vaolet?"

Servis looked at his father without squinting, "Without the help of Lord Link, Hohenheim would never have agreed to the restoration of Vaolet's autonomy. ”

Link nodded, "It's Cervis who has made an alliance with me, and he's the only one I've inherited as the Lord of Vaolet. How can the Duke, who has not played a part in the confrontation with Hohenheim, say that this is your territory?"

"Valolet is Esson's possessions!" replied Goodman, displeased.

"The inheritance of the nobility...... Link did not deny it, but then he raised his left hand and summoned a heavy tome out of thin air, with the Edgar ring painted on the cover of the hardcover, and the sparkling fluorescent light, which was a magical item at first glance.

Without touching it with his hands, the pages opened on their own, and with a clattering sound, Goodman glanced at the staff mage, only to see that his eyes were fixed on the magic items summoned by the Children of Nature and refused to move away. Goodman snorted, damn mage, he couldn't take his eyes off the novelty.

"Ah~ I found it. Link raised his index finger as the page stopped, and he reached out a little, and the words formed by the beam of light were refracted into the air, shaking slightly like ripples in water.

"In the Golden Age, this and Befast were the territory of the Glow Elves, to be precise, the area under the jurisdiction of the Pillars of Earth. ”

Goodman almost didn't sit down and fell off his horse.

The Golden Age, to say the least, was 1,500 years ago, and you want to convince me with an excuse that is so far away and there is no evidence?

But Link didn't look at the duke, and stared at the mage with a cold gaze, "You, a staff member, should know that the Children of Nature have the oldest inheritance in the world, remembering all the history from the birth of the world to the present. ”

"Yes......" the mage murmured, almost to himself.

"Hey, Spencer, you......" Goodman was halfway through his sentence when he sensed something was wrong. There was a faint fluctuation around his staff.

This guy. Do you want to cast a spell?

The mage's staff shot a cloud of ice crystals into Serves, who was beside Link.

Seeing this, Servis dodged and hid behind Link. Unexpectedly, as if it had eyes, the ice crystal bypassed Link and continued to attack Servis.

With a "snap", the ice crystals collided with the invisible barrier and shattered into gritty shimmering debris and fell to the ground.

Link's gaze was fixed on the debris that quickly melted, and the smile on his lips retracted.

"City Lord. You don't seem to have sued your father, what do I hate the most?"

Servis poked his head out from behind Link, followed his line of sight at the black water stains on the ground, and looked at Duke Essonne with a dismayed expression, "Father, this staff member of yours should be ......?"

"I'm not a necromancer, this body is still flesh and blood. The mage took off his hood, and although his face was thin, he still had the breath of a living person.

"But I smell the dead in you. Link raised his entire right arm. The book flipped again, and instead of a soft light, a blinding beam of light emerged. Split into countless roots. Trailing a long afterimage, it flew towards the cavalry behind the duke.

One qiē is too fast, only a few seconds from the spell is cast to take effect, and there is no time to react. Goodman opened his mouth, the words of command still in his throat, and the bullets rained down from the sky, the dull sound of hitting the object sent a chill down his back.

The neighing of horses, the sound of messy hooves. A mixture of surprise and screams, it was particularly clear in the silent night.

Goodman stiffened, he didn't dare to look back, afraid to see the remains of dead bodies everywhere, but he had to turn back. to confirm the life and death of the five thousand elite horsemen he brought.

There were no casualties, not even the horses. It's just that there are dozens of more potholes on the ground, and wisps of white smoke are emitting. The cavalrymen all had shocked expressions on their faces, obviously stunned by this sudden scene, and had no time to react.

"Surprised, for my shot?" Link's flat voice rang out.

Goodman looked back at the monster that looked smaller than his own son, but possessed terrifying strength.

He didn't have much contact with mages, most of them were elementals, and occasionally he had seen a few ** masters in Xindu, and he didn't have much chance to witness the power of range magic, and spells were only limited to rumors for Goodman. And the child of nature is even more legendary.

Misestimating the strength and situation of his opponent, Goodman grimaced, no longer expecting his staff to have anything good to do.

Goodman is timid and fearful, but he is not stupid. He could even be sure that it was a trap. Spencer is an undercover agent sent by other nobles or undead to his side. Whether he died at the hands of a child of nature or succeeded in capturing Vaolet, it would not be him who ultimately benefited.

"Hehehe......" Spencer laughed, "you interfere in the internal affairs of mankind so lightly!"

"You seem to be rejoicing too soon, fool. Link rarely cursed so bluntly, he raised his hand again, and everything lit up again, and the magic barrage was ready, and it would start again at the slightest command.

"What? you can still use divine powers?!" Spencer's face changed.

Why did the Son of Nature interfere so blatantly in the internal affairs of mankind, but Zhu did not revoke his qualifications?

"That's why you're a fool, and you don't know the information clearly, so you act indiscriminately. This morning, I set up an earth temple in Vaolet, and I also received an order from some believers to create a sect to recruit believers is a pillar, and I took action completely to protect the temple and believers, so how can it be regarded as interfering in the internal affairs of mankind. Link was glad that the man who instigated the Duke was a fool, but he was also a little disappointed, he thought that the main messenger should be a capable man, if not Frost himself, and wanted to take the opportunity to find some information. He was still haunted by the dream just now, and he always had a bad premonition.

Temple?

Spencer and Goodman's expressions were strange, and the temple was built in the morning?So, this huge rock-clad wall is also the work of the Children of Nature?

"The first time it was just a warning, and the second time, I would have taken aim. It's true that the Children of Nature are the guardians of the rules and the world, but that doesn't mean I can't kill, Duke of Esson, do you know what I mean?"

Goodman nodded, then shook his head again. He was so dizzy that he didn't know what to say.

When the troops were out, they were obviously full of confidence, why did it become like this?

If Servis wants to inherit the title, he will not dare to disobey him, and will obediently hand over Valolet, but ...... Who will sue him, why is the situation so reversed? It has become a farce!

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as the apostle of the pillar, I ask you, who have colluded with the undead, to hand over the Valolet autonomy as punishment. ”

Goodman almost wondered if he was hallucinating?

The breath that could emanate from Nature's body reminded him that it was not an illusion.

The horses neighed even more, and threw off the horsemen who were skilled at riding, and some even had people hanging on their horses, and ran away.

Is this the legendary coercion?

Servis, who was hiding behind Link, was also weak and unable to move, but his heart was happy.

As long as Valolet can really show up as Link said, it doesn't matter if he can't inherit Esson's title, anyway, he can't fight the undead, it is better to guard this city with infinite possibilities, maybe, it may not be able to go down in history.
