18. Are there still people skating?

Ed Gilheim is not afraid of a weak country like Almac. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there were rumors of collusion between this country and Lin Dengwan a while ago, at this time, that immortal legend was setting off a bloody storm in the HRE Empire, and it was impossible for him to come to such a small place.

Therefore, Ed is full of confidence.

"Please feel the warmth of the Duchy of Boer, too. ”

He said with a full aura a few minutes ago.

But after that, nothing happened.

There was neither a raging fire out of thin air nor a large number of monsters that suddenly appeared, and there was silence in all directions.

It's like someone yelling at a nirvana, only to find out that they haven't even had a full bar of energy after the screen flashes, and as a result, they are simply stuck there after putting on the starting pose.

"If you're referring to the men you brought, unfortunately they're not coming. ”

Leon Ann Hart said in a deep voice.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Count Thomas's mansion, a skirmish ended in a hurry.

"Sure enough, as Lord Leon had guessed, these men were hiding weapons. ”

The members of the Knights of the Guards looked proudly at their opponents who had just been knocked to the ground. Those opponents are too weak, and they are really vulnerable enemies to the Knights of the Guard, who have always guarded the capital and are known as the strongest legions in Almac.

"Don't be complacent, Almac bastard, we won't fail like this, it's all in the Duke's plan!"

The loser who fell to the ground said unruly.

"Is this the wail of a loser? It's ugly, you're a knight too, how about retaining a little knightly demeanor?" said the member of the Knights of the Guards disdainfully.

"Hmph...... Stupid! I don't understand it until I'm dying!" the guy who fell to the ground smiled sarcastically.

"I think it's stupid to be there to provoke even though he's been defeated. ”

"I feel the same way. ”

"Seconded. ”

A foot was stomped on the face of the provocateur, and then the other party was completely silent.

"You, go and report the situation here to Lord Leon. Knight Captain Scott said to his men.

"Yes!!"

At the moment when his subordinates received orders and planned to leave, a new commotion came from all directions.

"That's ...... What ??!!"

These valiant knights looked into the distance, their faces invariably amazed.

Earl's Palace.

Guarded in the center by four strong knights, Ed Gilheim looked confident, and he didn't care at all about Leon's words.

"Leon Ann Hart, the new Master of the Knights of the Guards, who do you mean by them?"

"Are you referring to the guard of honor that I brought in to serve as a façade?"

"Hmph, if that's what you think, then the so-called Knights of the Guards are nothing more than that. ”

"What do you mean?" Leon frowned, a kind of uneasiness fermenting inside.

The Duke of Guilheim smiled silently.

Then, from outside the Earl's Court, there was a loud noise.

It was the sound of terror and fear, it was the sound of crying and screaming, it was the sound of a large group of soldiers running rampant through the city, it was the sound of the citizens wailing helplessly in the face of military disaster.

For Leon, who was familiar with military affairs, he could tell what a large force it was just by hearing.

And now, such a large and unknown army has appeared in the capital of Almac.

The nobles who came to the banquet had white faces, and of course they knew what it meant. The duke from a neighboring country seemed to be very good at this kind of sudden sneak attack, did he want to repeat the fire in his hometown in Almak?

"Ed Gilheim!!" Leon roared.

"What a faux pas, Leon Ann Hart, to call a duke by his name, is this the etiquette of the Hart family?" said Eddard.

"You're crazy! Do you want to go to war without declaring it?"

"War? are you mistaken, I am different from the little duke of your family, I don't like war, those are my honor guards, and they have only one purpose, which is to pick up my bride. Ed said with a smile.

"Honor guard?" Leon said through gritted teeth, "Do you call an army of more than 500 men an honor guard?!Ed Gilheim, are you going to fool me?!"

"I didn't mean that, except that I thought the engagement was bound to be thwarted by someone. Saying that, he glanced at Van: "Besides, the Almacians are not friendly, and I need such a large guard of honor in order to be able to receive my bride smoothly." ”

"By the way, are there still people who are slipping their hands?" Ed smiled with a win-winning smile, although he was embarrassed, but at this moment, he seemed to be a supreme who was high up, which was terrifying.

The audience was silent.

There were no shouts of slaughter outside, and the enemy confronted the Knights of the Guards, who were guarding the vicinity.

The situation is extremely unfavorable, the Guards Knights who are guarding the vicinity are only about 100 people, and it is more than enough to deal with the honor guard of 50 people, but the enemy at this moment has become an elite army of more than 500 people, the enemy is not an ordinary rabble, but an elite soldier specially selected by Ed, with 1 enemy and 5, even the Guards Knights will feel powerless, plus this is the land of the country, so that the members of the Knights are afraid of the mouse, unable to exert their maximum strength.

The nearest reinforcements were stationed outside the city, and the commander of that legion was also trapped here at the moment, frowning and sighing, unable to remotely control his subordinates outside the city, so it was negligible.

Militiaman...... For special reasons, Almac did not have a militia, and it was hoped that the citizens of the city would be able to pick up dung forks and fight the enemy...... Citizens have said that there is no such setting.

As for the dozens of city guards, well, these people are good at bullying civilians and letting them go to war...... Do you want to boost the morale of the enemy?

Of course, it is stupid to provoke a war, under the vassal system of the kingdom, even Ed would not go to war without a valid reason, and he did not want to challenge the authority of the entire kingdom of Fran, so the two sides did not immediately fight, in Ed's conception, this military operation was just a deterrent, so that he could do whatever he wanted in this place.

The young knight gave a stern gaze to Thomas Bain, who had been hiding in a corner of the hall from the beginning, watching alone and coldly.

"Only one person has the ability to quietly send a foreign army into his country, only one person has enough connections to mobilize officials at all levels to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and only one person has every motive to make such a crazy move. ”

Thomas Bain, are you going to commit treason?!"

"Lord Leon, this is also for the sake of the little girl's happiness. A respectful and amiable smile spread across Thomas's face, as always.

But at this moment, the eyes of the knight with such a smile seemed to be upright, but it was so dazzling.

"You traitor!!" he roared angrily.

"Leon Ann Hart, you are not allowed to slander my father-in-law. Ed smiled with a smile in his hand: "This is the end of the boring farce, dear father-in-law, there is no point in staying in this country now, please allow me to entertain you and your daughter to Pol, where the Bane family will be treated with the utmost grandeur." ”

"I am willing to do as you say, my Lord Duke. The fat minister smiled and owed.

The nobles of Almac were collectively silent, and they watched speechlessly at the scene before them, whether they were outsiders or betrayers, all trampling on their dignity and making them feel unparalleled humiliation.

The anger was held in their chests, but they could not vent because of the pressure of the army, which made them frustrated.

Van der Almarc, the man who has been neglected since the beginning of this chapter, looks boredly at the farce before him, looks left and right, and then picks up a plate that is intact.

Raise the plate, aim it in the direction of Ed Gilheim, and throw.

"Ping Pong !!!!"

The knight standing in front of Ed blocked the flying plate with his armor, leaving a puddle of oil on his smooth armor.

The piercing cracking sound drew everyone's attention to Van.

"Well, my hand slipped. ”

Fan shook his hand and said with an innocent face.

Behind the scenes of the small theater:

Leon's teacher's class time.

"Teacher, teacher, I have a problem!!" Van Gogh raised his hand.

"Please, Lord Duke. ”

"Recently, the words knight, soldier and the like have been appearing in the text, what is the difference between their combat effectiveness??"

"Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, honesty, spirit, justice. This is a necessary virtue for a true knight, for example, I have been training in combat since I was a child, mastering the use of various tactics, having a full set of weapons and equipment of my own, swearing allegiance to a lord, protecting the weak and fighting against evil, this is the most basic requirement of being a knight. ”

"Soldiers, on the other hand, are those who have undergone a certain amount of combat training, and most of them are composed of civilians, although they are relatively weak in combat but large in number, and they are the most important cornerstone of forming an army. ”

"Although you say this, if you don't understand, you don't understand......" Fan was confused.

"So let's take the game Ran X Ressa as an example, the knight is the commander with the public face in the game, and the soldier is the creep attached to the commander. ”

"I see!!" Fan suddenly realized: "Isn't this intuitive? ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, but this kind of conversation can't be in the text. ”

"Forget it. Fan generously waved his hand: "Speaking of Lan X Ruisa, there is a person in it with the same name as you." ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. Speaking of His Excellency the Captain of the X-Dragon Knights, Leon looked refreshed: "That Lord is my dream goal, and I hope to become a great knight like that Lord one day." ”

"A knight like that man......" Fan's face was a little delicate.

"But that guy is always losing, every time he meets the protagonist, he loses, I don't even bother to count how many times he has lost, Leon, are you sure you really want to become a loser in life like him?"

The knight fell into a terrible silence......

There's something going on tonight, so update in advance.
