Ahh

"Okay, okay," the squire shrugged helplessly, "what stakes do you want?"

"Your sword," Asona said, gesturing at the quaint straight sword at Yelena's waist, "I've coveted it for a long time." ”

"That's not going to work. Elena hurriedly held the sword in her arms, "This child is our family heirloom, how can I give it to you easily? ”

"Please, isn't your record 52?"

Yelena proudly straightened her full breasts. "Hmph, but I'm the most orthodox master. ”

When Aisona heard this, she could only stare at the saber and grit her teeth, "Someday, someday I'll win it." ”

"You won't have a chance. Elena smiled and hugged Her Royal Highness, "Now, I'll go back first." The bet will be brought to you tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh, what is it?"

"Secret," Yelena's index finger nodded seusefully on her pursed lips, "but it will satisfy you." ”

"Then I'm looking forward to it. Aisona waved goodbye to her cousin.

After spending so much time in the humble barracks at Fort Repalet that Axona had forgotten what a soft bed was like. After coping with the enthusiasm of her father and mother, and rinsing her body casually, our princess fell down on her long-lost embroidered couch and fell into a dream.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, in the middle of the night, the dazed Aisona was woken up by a noise, she complained and sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, only to find that the originally dark night sky was now suddenly bright, accompanied by the violently shaking firelight, bursts of shouts, fights, and screams poured into the room from the window. The knight princess, who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, suddenly came to her senses, jumped out of bed one by one, and picked up the saber resting on the weapon rack. But just then, the door of her room was slammed open, and several figures with soldiers in hand crashed in. She was about to swing her sword when one of them shouted in relief, "Merandor bless, you're safe, Isona!"

The princess looked at her cousin and asked dryly, "What's going on, what's going on... ”

Elena stepped forward quickly, and while dressing her armor quickly, she said at a very fast pace, "The Rodok traitors lurking in the city of Suno have attacked the castle tonight, because the garrison is careless, the walls have been breached, and they are about to enter the castle." ”

When the princess heard this, her face changed, "What about the father and the queen mother?"

"The two adults are fine. Elena put her cloak on her and fastened a knight's helmet to her head, "His Majesty the King is directing the battle in the castle hall, and he has ordered me to take you away. ”

"But... While wearing the iron boots sent by Elena's squire, Asona said, "If it's just a thief, it should... ”

"Yes, a thief, not a good thing," the squire continued, tightening the string on Asona's glove, "but you can't take any risks either, you are the most orthodox heir of Swadia, and your life is above all else. And we will not hesitate to die for it. ”

"Wait, what's going on?" "Something was wrong with Asona, she was wearing Yelena's armor!

"You'll always know. Elena finally finished her final preparation by hanging a knight's shield on her armarmor, "Please remember, no matter what, you must live. When the rebellion is quelled, I will pick you up. ”

"Cousin, wait!"

"Go!" she ordered to the attendants who followed, "and rush out through the side door of the stables with her future Majesty!" the guards ordered, and with a sigh of offend, they grabbed Isona's arm and dragged her outward.

"Stop, stop, cousin, what the hell is going on!" she could say as a straight sword was thrown into her arms with its sheath attached.

"I'm sorry, it's too late to prepare a bet. Behind him, Yelena's gentle voice came again, "This child will be handed over to you for safekeeping, remember not to disappoint him." ”

Aisona was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly understood something, and finally stopped struggling, allowing several guards to drag her out.

Elena stood alone in Isona's room, smiling miserably until the footsteps of the guards were no longer audible. Walked over to the hanger and put Asona's armor on himself.

In the hall of the castle, King Eastridge sits on a throne with his sword and in full armor. The entrance to the hall has been blocked by deer antlers, horses and other defensive equipment. And behind the fortifications, a group of guards was on standby.

He watched the female guard wearing Aisona's delicate armor hurriedly walk down the stairs, smiled bitterly, and said, "Elena, I'm really sorry for you, I... ”

"It is our duty, Your Majesty. Elena smiled lightly, but looked beyond the fortifications and beyond the castle gates. Outside the gate was the main force of the Guards, but the city wall collapsed suddenly, and only a small number of soldiers were able to break through the encirclement of the "Rhodoks" and assemble in front of the castle hall. And those Rhodoks, wielding swords and spears, were like a tidal wave, slapping against the thin defensive line, and almost every impact could make the defense line shake for a while, which made the front look precarious. The female guard's gaze crossed the line, hoping to see something else, but her vision was filled with "Rhodoks". Dense "Rhodoks", all kinds of "Rhodoks", "Rhodoks" with strange Paraven accents. She had no doubt that if King Eastreician was killed in battle, these "Rhodoks" would change into new crimson robes and become heroes of the rebellion.

"So," she retracted her gaze and bowed to King Eastridge, "Your Majesty, I'm out to war." ”

"Please. The king nodded solemnly, "Good luck and prosperity." ”

Elena nodded slightly, flicked her cloak, and walked out of the castle with the last of the Guardsmen, and the gate of the castle slowly closed at this moment.

She looked at the dense "Rhodoks" under the stairs, took a deep breath, drew her sword, and pointed at the place where the "Rhodoks" were most dense,

"Soldiers, charge! for Svadia!"

。。。。

By the time Asona came to her senses, she had already rushed out of Suno. She couldn't even remember how she had escaped, the shield on her arm had long since disappeared, only a lone handle remained, and the straight sword in her hand had become bloody from the instinctive slashing. She looked around, and only one knight was still following her, but only closely, his feet twisted in stirrups, he didn't know how far he had been dragged, and the crossbow bolt that had killed him was still trembling slightly in his chest.

She turned back again, looked at Su Nuo in the sky, wiped away the tears that had been shed at some point, and rode her horse again, rushing into the night. Later, I lived in an arena in Rhodoc, living incognito and making a living by gladiatorial fighting," Aisona leaned on a line of wooden railings and watched Mu work with great interest, "but then it seemed that she had won too much, and the game was out of suspense, so she was kicked out." ”

"I'm curious, which arena owner would be so kind" Mu stretched his waist, relaxed his hard muscles, and continued, "Usually when you encounter such a powerful player, they will drug you and deliberately let you lose so that you can make a large amount of money." ”

"I see!" Asona clapped her hands in realization, "no wonder I always have inexplicable diarrhea after ten consecutive victories." ”

Mu Wenyan glared at the princess helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "Do you think I should praise your superb swordsmanship, or scold you for being brainless?"

"Hey, I haven't fought in the arena before, who knows all these twists and turns!" Asona protested, "I didn't even poison the Nords!"

"Well, forget it. Mu put down the long-handled brush and carefully observed his freshly brushed foal, looking for the slightest insignificant flaw, "But why are you running to talk about this at this time?"

"I promised you to make things clear. Asona shrugged, "But I've seen you doing paperwork in your room for the past few days, so it's inconvenient to bother, so I've waited until now." ”

"Well, I see. Mu nodded, "However, I have one more question I want to ask." ”

"Please. ”

"Your saber belongs to your cousin, isn't it? ”

"That's right. ”

"So, what is her relationship with the Knights of Yutan?"

"Well... Alas, it doesn't hurt to tell you now. Asona sighed and said, "Back then, the second prince of the Swadia Empire took the Royal Knights to the north to exterminate the Nords, but he fell in love with the head of Yutan at first sight. Therefore, the Knights of Yutan were finally merged into the Royal Knights, and the beautiful captain also became the princess. My cousin Yelena was also the heir of the second prince back then. ”

"I see," Mu nodded with satisfaction, "Professor Sanders will definitely be interested." ”

Aisona frowned, "Hey, this is the secret of the royal family, just say it, I don't know if I will be hunted down by the Swadia royal family." ”

"Chase, are you kidding?" Mu turned around and gave a teasing smile to Esona, "We're all thieves now." "The white pine forest is dense, and for thousands of years, the people of Ryerdian have been demanding all kinds of resources from her, but she is still as rich as ever. She is like a selfless mother who can contain all the sins of her children.

That's right, it's sin. The Ryordians, who were mostly industrious, lived in abundance in the fertile lands of Swadia with hoes and sickles. But a life of abundance does not undo the original sin of mankind. Either because of greed or because of compulsion, many sinners will disappear into the forest when they have no way out. Most of these people are bold and ambitious, so after a dragon fight, the division of forces gradually became clear, and villages were built in the forest. They did not produce, so they had to live by plundering, and the surrounding caravans or villages became their prey. This behavior naturally touched the interests of the nobles, so the nobles in various towns kept sending troops to encircle and suppress, but what gave the nobles a headache was that these bandits were too sensitive, and once they smelled the wind, they would immediately flee back to the forest. The forest is so big that the soldiers who are not familiar with the terrain are the opponents of these old fritters who have been in the forest for many years? Once they penetrate deep into the forest, they often eat a wave of deadly raids, so the green forest heroes of Svadia have always been a big problem for the rulers. Fortunately, the villains who can become the owners of the village are not fools, and they know that if they anger the nobles, they will be troubled if they make up their minds to clean up the cottage, so they will just collect a wave of "protection money" and leave, and rarely really kill people or burn the village.

Now, the stronghold where Mu and Aisona are located is a bandit stockade. After the establishment of the "Bloodstained Sword Blade", relying on Mu's eloquence and the credibility of the knights, they did make a small fortune. However, as more and more veterans join the gang, the mission locations are becoming more and more scattered, and the number of rookies who come here is also getting bigger and bigger. But the knights couldn't stand this, and when they charged, they rushed and the ranks suddenly dispersed, so they urgently needed a stronghold, a stronghold that could house a source of reserves, and provide a certain amount of training.

However, the nobles would not easily give away or lease it to others, especially since the Bloodstained Sword was a powerful military organization. Even if some nobles are willing to sell, the current family of the mercenary group can't afford it. And if the stronghold is established on the battlefield, naturally no one will come to collect the money, but the stronghold on the battlefield can easily become the target of coveted by both sides, which will be a fatal blow to this new mercenary group.

Just as the old knights Meier and Fatis were scratching their heads, Mu suddenly had an idea and made a suggestion, that is, to go deep into the White Pine Forest and seize the stockade of the Green Forest bandits as a station. As soon as this statement came out, it immediately won the support of the veterans, crusading against robbers or something, they had no psychological burden at all, and as for the stockade, they were used as trophies.

The Green Forest bandits did have an advantage in the forest, but the strength of the veterans was not covered. In addition, several ambushes were detected by the astute Mu in advance, so although they also paid some casualties, they also quickly captured the station of a group of bandits who were not very powerful. Next, it's time for everyone to work together and build their own camp. Later, as the "Bloodstained Blade" became famous, they also bought their own stations near some major cities, but this commemorative bandit village was not abandoned, but continued to be active as a recruit camp for the mercenary group.

"The wonderful thing about this place is that it is the whole forest, oh no, or rather the most frequent change of terrain in the whole of Svadia, with a small hill at the top where a post can be set up, and a small valley where a training ground and a small horse farm can be built at the bottom. As she spoke, Mu pointed to the narrow valley below, and Ai Sona could clearly see several horses moving between rows of tied scarecrows, chopping and chopping.

However, Aisona only frowned slightly, "That's it, can you really train qualified cavalry?"

"This is just boot camp," Mu shrugged, "The equestrian training here is just for them to learn how to ride horses." And be able to do a certain amount of horse fighting, that's all. Real equestrian training is not officially exposed until they graduate from the 'apprentice' and become the 'servant'. ”
