He was not small, and he came out of the fortress, went straight to the platform at the corner of the staircase, and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the Nords waiting under the wall, like a king reviewing his troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In Snuden of Lower Suno, the baron of Swadia, and now the lieutenant of the Count of Sweden, one of the hands of the king. He bowed politely, but the Nord was very faceless, still glaring at him warily, motionless.

Baron Snouden didn't care, no, he enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight. His eyes swept around the Nord ranks, and he quickly locked onto his prey. A wicked smile opened into the corner of the baron's mouth, and he said in a loud voice in a skilled Nord, "May I ask if the 'Lily Princess' Lady Engrave is in the array, can you come out and talk?"

When Engrave met his gaze, he knew he was exposed. So, she simply put her sword into the sheath, pushed away the warrior who was standing in front of her and prepared to protect her, and strode out.

"The old lady is Engrave, what's the matter, I want to fight and the old lady will accompany me to the end!"

"Hahahaha," Baron Snouden didn't care about the provocation of the female warrior at all, and after laughing for a while, he continued, "I didn't expect that under such a gentle name, there was actually such a wild woman, and under the wild appearance, there was such a smart heart. ”

Ngrad raised his head proudly, with a look of disdain, "You kid is looking for a cigarette, which pot is not opened, or do you think you can compare to Aisona?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, after all, the dead are great. The baron was modest, but his expression was still high, "Moreover, your disguise is actually perfect, if you don't understand the rules of the nobles, I guess it wouldn't have aroused my vigilance." ”

Ngrad frowned, during the war with Isona, she had done a lot of research on the nobles of Ryldian, whether it was etiquette, clothing, or even the tone of speech. However, she recalled her behavior, and she really couldn't think of any flaws in her. "Truth be told, you are a natural nobleman, and your words and deeds are seamless. As if seeing through Engrede's thoughts, the baron nodded appreciatively, "However, you play the role of a knight, and I am a baron, and no matter how busy you are when you arrive at the castle, the first thing you should do is come to see me, instead of rushing to find yourself a camp." Of course, this is a common rule among the aristocracy in recent years, and it is normal that you don't know it. ”

Well, this is actually the system that those new nobles who cling to Haraus have gradually formed in order to strengthen their connections.

"So," the baron continued, "it is strange to me that you came, but you did not come to meet you. Therefore, I paid special attention to it. As a result, I really found something terrible at this time. He unconsciously showed a smug smile, "I found that your soldiers actually practice sleeping without taking off their helmets, and some people simply lie on the snow and snore, don't you think it's funny?"

MD, these rammers. Ngrad cursed inwardly. Although the weather at Fort Reboret was too good compared to the winds and snows in the Northlands, it was already bitterly cold for the people of Ryerdian farther south. As for laying on the floor in the cold wind, it is a habit that only Nords have. What, you say the Virgians? They are self-proclaimed civilians, Kallad orthodox, but they don't have the face to do such a rude thing, so they should wrap themselves in a blanket.

Engrad clasped his arms, "You kid ran out BB won't just come to make me happy, hurry up, if there is any way, draw it down, and the old lady will accompany you to the end!"

"Look at what you said," the baron was satisfied when he saw that the female warrior's attitude had softened, and continued, "I see that the population of the Nord Kingdom is not good, and the remaining hundred... Oh no, dozens of warriors must be quite precious, and it must be a pity to fold them here like this. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Submit to me, Princess Lily," the baron made a haughty look, "I can promise that instead of killing your men, I will give you the title of knight." And your subordinates, as long as they make military achievements for me, I will also be rewarded. ”

Ngrad was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into a wild laugh, then turned and shouted at his men, "Hear me, Nord bastards, what about your answer?"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"You see?" said Ngrad, smiling back, "they're just so grumpy. "Hehe, indeed, Nord are incomparably brave warriors, and threatening death is indeed a stupid move. The baron still maintained his demeanor, "But what about this?"

He clapped his hands, and several soldiers dragged up a Nord man, who seemed to have fainted, and when he was thrown to the ground, his shoulders twitching, and he looked like he had been beaten. The escort soldier kicked him hard after throwing him to the ground, and only stood aside to see him motionless.

"Khalgan?"

"It seems that those traitors are right, his family has a lot of ties to yours," the baron circled around the fainted Nord with interest, and then stood behind him, "It seems that even the Nords, who are known for their bravery, will be born of bad seeds." ”

Hearing an unbearable shout from under the city wall, he nodded with satisfaction, and did not shy away from the hateful look at the female warrior, and continued, "How is it, Princess Lily, what is your answer?" Then, he took out a small hourglass from his bosom, turned it upside down, and placed it on the ground of the platform, and then called a soldier and asked him to light a torch, and whether he could see the fine sand from Engrede's point of view.

"By the way," said the baron, smiling, "I am not very patient, so I ask that Her Royal Highness Princess Lily do not make a decision that she will regret for the rest of her life." ”

Engrad looked at the hourglass that couldn't be seen clearly at all, and the Khalgan, who was still twitching slightly, jumped like thunder, pointed at the baron and scolded, "You despicable villain, you have the ability to come down and fight alone!"

Snouden laughed and didn't reply, but reminded "kindly", "It's almost half the time, Your Highness the Princess." ”

Under the city, Princess Lily was still scolding, and the baron watched the sand pass, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, until the last grain of fine sand fell, and then looked at Emgreid, "Then Lady Engrad, your answer is." ”

Hearing this, the warrior was struck by lightning, and her momentum dissipated at once, and the baron watched her cheeks tremble incessantly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could not make up his mind to speak. He smiled and drew his sword.

"Wait!" said Engrad anxiously, but the simple word seemed to drain all his strength, and her whole body was depressed. Then the baron saw her head raised, and her face was now dead. He saw her babble for a while, and at last he said a word, and he saw her gray eyes, and saw her mouth moving, but he couldn't hear the voice clearly.

"What do you say, be louder!"

Engrave seemed a little angry, but shouted out again, but the warrior seemed to be forceful, but the baron still couldn't hear clearly. But the Nords around Engrad were in an uproar, as if their eldest sister had said something terrible.

Snuden took a step forward, level with the fainted Nord, "Say it again, I can't hear clearly!"

Even in the orange-yellow firelight, it could be seen that the female warrior's face was already flushed with anger. She put her hands together and shouted hoarsely to the Baron's position, but the Baron still couldn't hear clearly, so he unconsciously took another step forward.

"I say, you're dead!"

Ah, I heard it clearly this time, but before my brain could figure out what it meant, I felt a sudden gust of wind blow behind me. He turned his head suspiciously, only to see the panicked soldiers behind him, and a hideous Nord face. This face was no longer as weak as a dead dog, but a frenzied smile, and in this short moment, the baron saw the tip of a spear pierce out of the Nord's chest, and blood gushed out of his mouth, staining his teeth and beard red, but all this only made the hideous smile more terrifying. His hands were still tied, but he was getting closer and closer to him, and before the Baron could react, the Nord's shoulders had pushed up against his back, and he felt only a great impact, an unsteady, and fell backwards.

Bang, the baron was thrown into a lot of meat, fortunately, this platform is not very high, and there are corpses underneath as a buffer, otherwise I would really have to die here in aggrieved terms.

As a baron, after all, he had received orthodox combat training, so the moment he came back to his senses, he subconsciously grabbed the nearest weapon, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, he was stepped into the mud by an iron boot and was crushed twice.

"Ahh

"How does it feel to be a baron 'sir'. He heard the voice of the owner of the boots, it was Ngrad. "I'm ashamed of your alertness and thoughtfulness, and if I didn't understand the rules of the Nords, I would have really been planted here. The warrioress replied in the same tone as the baron, but to Snoudden, there was no doubt that it was sarcastic.

"But it doesn't matter, I'll tell you now. Her body leaned forward slightly, the strength of her feet increased a few more points, and the baron's screams were several decibels higher.

"The Nords will never be conquered!" she drew her sword and held it against the baron's throat.

"Don't... Don't kill me, I surrender, surrender!" the baron begged for mercy in a hoarse voice.

"Hmph," N'Grede snorted coldly, "even if you dare to compare yourself to Ezona?"

She let go of her foot and grabbed Snuden, "Now, order your soldiers to get out of this castle, or I don't mind cutting off another dog's head!" Standing outside the door of the lord's bedroom, Emgreid asked the guards, "How is he?"

The guard shook his head, "Although he can still speak, the shaman says he can't see the sun tomorrow." ”

The female warrior took a deep breath, suppressed the frenzied pain, forced herself to put on a smile, and pushed the door and walked in.

Kellegan lay on the most comfortable bed in the castle, the fireplace in the lord's bedroom was already burning, and there were many braziers lit around him, but he still couldn't stop him from shivering. Engrave knew that the cold did not come from the body, but from the soul, and that the cold of the passage of life was not something that a mere flame could resist.

His final shoulder blow knocked the Baron off the wall, turning the tide of battle and saving the lives of the Nords. But he was also pierced in the chest by the spears of the Ryrdians. Although Engrave later slashed the soldier with a thousand knives, it could not change the fact that Kellergan's life was in danger.

Kellegan saw N'Greid walk in and grinned hard, "Big sister, cough, I'm doing a good job." ”

"It's okay," Listening to his heavy breathing, Ngred said with a smile, "Next time, remember to shake your shoulders lightly, like a convulsion, if you don't see clearly at night, idiots know that you are pretending, pay attention next time." ”

"Haha, ahem, haha," Kellergan laughed, but it caused a violent cough that finally calmed down before he continued, "But, ahem, I've been, no, next time." ”

"What nonsense, this little injury your dad will survive in minutes. ”

"But, ahem, but I'm not, not the indomitable Günt, I, ahem, I'm just a nobody, that's it. Probably because he had said too much, Khalgan took a sharp breath for a while before relieving himself and continuing, "Big sister, my death, honor?"

"What nonsense, how could you die!"

"Haha," Kellergan didn't answer, just smiled and laboriously grabbed the female warrior's hand. Ngrad subconsciously wanted to take it back, but in the end he didn't move. I only heard Kellergan continue to say "I, I, I'm a, cough, coward, little ghost, so, I was afraid before, I was afraid of being broken by my father, so one, I haven't said it." Ahem,"

"What?" Engrede felt Kellegan's hand clench again.

"I... I like it... You. With that, his breathing suddenly became calm, then gradually weakened, and finally she felt his hand lose strength.

Engrave took a deep breath and squeezed Kellergan's hand, "Don't worry, your death is honorable, and it didn't dishonor your father." "This is a great victory for Her Royal Highness the Princess!" said Suno's Princess's Mausoleum, which was filled with joy.

"Is the news true?" said Callod, as a commander, still maintained his due composure.

"No problem," said the little Lausanne, "it was obtained from the Duke of Craggs, whose messenger had returned from Alberon and brought us this news. ”

"What's the news?" the door to the mausoleum's chamber opened, and a woman in a long black cloak walked in.

"Lady Somarea, you're back!" Callod beckoned to her, "How's it going on the streets?"

"Well, since Haraus was trapped in Rhodoc, there have been a lot fewer spies on the streets. The head maid lifted her hood and looked at the grave keeper in front of her, "Also, I heard a bard performing on the street, probably saying that Princess Asona was preparing to be in Uxhall, I don't know if it's true." ”

To be honest, Princess Asona really got it up. At first, she thought that Princess Asona had died, and was determined to keep the princess's tomb for the rest of her life, but she appeared in front of her again. So, she thanked Merandor for making her life full of hope. However, just when she was happily accumulating strength, stockpiling weapons, and preparing to fight for the princess's great affairs, she suddenly heard that the princess's team had been attacked, and there were heavy casualties. However, these days, the number of spies has decreased, and she has the opportunity to quietly go to the streets to inquire about the news outside the city, of course, the focus is still on the news of the princess.

"It's true, ma'am. Little Lobsang bowed slightly, "Today Alberton has an urgent message, which probably means that Her Royal Highness the Princess has occupied Uxhall and is ready to start the cruise. ”

"It's worthy of a knight princess, the world-famous fortress of Buluo was so easily captured, and the parade, at such a critical time... Wait, you say the parade?" Somarea's eyes lit up, "The parade you're talking about before the king ascended the throne?"
