Chapter 31: A Father's Embrace

Morris's ruling class was very dissatisfied with the rule of the Empire. The other side was www.biquge.info because he was a foreign conqueror, and because he had done something that was very unpleasant to the ruling class.

After Emperor Eumonend conquered the whole of Maurice, the first thing he did was to destroy the title of king of the kingdom of Maurice as a way to express his strong dissatisfaction with the royal family of Maurice and the various local lords. The former Maurice Crown is now on display in the museum of the Imperial Capital as a historical object for the world.

The Morris ruling class, which felt deeply insulted by the other party, has always dared not speak out, and the Knoyes family, as the rulers of the previous dynasty, is even more representative.

Ian Cnoyes is the current patriarch of the Cnuyilles and the Duke of the Duchy of Domonides under the rule of the Cnoisilles. Ian is now in his forties, the age of personal practice and success, as a local duke, after more than ten years of lying on the salary, leading an army of 40,000 people to beat one of his former enemies, how to say that he is worthy of the description of a successful career.

Without the appearance of Alain and the intervention of the Empire, Ian would be the prince of Maurice, the future king of Maurice. But with the surrender of his father, the former King Maurice, and the fact that he was a hostage in the imperial capital, this wonderful future has come to naught.

Although the current situation is very favorable for Ian, the army is absolutely superior, and the enemy is divided, and the balance of victory in the war has tilted in his favor, but the development of the actual situation is very unoptimistic for him.

It's just a local big family, and the burden of supplying an army of 40,000 people is very heavy, and at the same time, there is a very high risk of backstabbing behind its own strength.

"So, what is the intention of that old man of the Drohan family?" Ian, a slightly tired man, rubbed his temples lightly, hoping to make his swollen mind feel better, and now the situation was gradually slipping in his unfavorable direction.

The House of Drohan ruled the Duchy of Nekov and was one of the three dukes of Maurice. The rivalry between the Drohans and the Cnoyes continued for generations, the most intense of which was when the Elian family of Anjitan fought for territory after being extinct, but they were able to unite in the face of the invasion of the Empire, and the love and killing of each other formed a family feud between the two families.

"Father, the Duke of Fentering, said that he was too old and infirm to participate in the struggle for power. Bernie, Ian's eldest son and envoy to the House of Droham, answers his father's questions.

Ian, who looked at the battle map, was very dissatisfied with the other party's answer, and now that he had played the banner of rebuilding the kingdom of Morris, the other party actually used this kind of rhetoric to shirk it, which was simply an insult to his own intelligence. And the most irritating thing is that his eldest son, the future heir, is convinced of this!

"Are you sure?" as if to remind his son to use his head more, and soon added, "Do you believe it!"

His father, who had always been calm and wise, was now yelling at him out of shape, which made the honest Bernie feel very puzzled, but he had always called himself brave and did not fear his father's wrath: "Yes, I believe it. The Duke of Ventring I met was too old to walk, and when I met the other party, the other party's gluttonous lifestyle, lazy attitude to life, **** life style and proud behavior made it hard for me to believe that the other party was once a hero who dared to face the pirates of Favonius without fear. ”

"You ......" Ian wanted to say to his son that I can imitate it now, but now the fighter plane can't tolerate the slightest delay, and the words on his lips can only end here, "Let's go and rest first, and think about what it means that the other party has gathered more than 10,000 people and has not made any moves." ”

"Father. "Young and vigorous Bernie is dissatisfied with his father's opinion of him" Nekov is facing the threat of the Zephyr pirates, and most of his army is on the west to guard against pirate attacks, and if the other party is interested in participating in this republican movement, the Duke of Ventlin will not just have 10,000 men on our borders. Besides, those pirates can be bribed in exchange for a temporary peace, if the other side really has an idea, then now it is not 10,000 people on our border, but 30,000!"

The son's childish thoughts left Ian speechless, not because the other party's words made sense, but because the other party lacked a keen sense of smell in the struggle for power. Gently waved his hand to let him go, it was really a very distressing thing to cultivate the heir of the family.

A brainless resistance battle ended with a one-sided massacre by the Alans, who annihilated more than 8,000 troops at a double-digit cost of casualties. At the same time, those peasant prisoners alleviated the shortcomings of the serious shortage of logistics personnel and the high proportion of combat personnel in their own army.

Shilinya followed behind Danton, passing through a battlefield full of blood, and the condensation of blood caused blood scars to appear on the white earth, hideous and ruined the beauty. Farmers who have been taken prisoner are under the command of the army, disposing of and burying the corpses on the battlefield to prevent the outbreak of plague among these corpses, although it is very unlikely in such cold weather, but the more important reason is to prevent the necromancer from using waste.

Living in the alchemy shop of miners who have been injured in many accidents since she was a child, Shilinya does not feel too much about the bloody scenes in front of her, but these fresh lives are now dying because they have not received timely treatment, which makes Shilinya, who is half a doctor, feel very uncomfortable.

Dalefield, who was accompanying him, held the other party's shoulders and silently performed calming techniques for the other party to calm the other party's mind, so as not to leave too many psychological shadows on the other party. Still, aftermath counseling is essential, which is the main reason Alain has placed Delphi with his daughter.

The effect of the calming technique was very good, and Shilinya's emotions, which had been quite sad and fluctuating, slowly calmed down, but she herself was very disgusted by such an external spell that forcibly changed her personal mood and feelings. However, now she does not express her opinions too much on this matter, first, the other party is just a kind act, and second, she now has a huge question in her heart.

Why did Captain Danton of Luou Town appear here? Dalton is the person Shilinya has been in contact with the most since her birth, except for her own mother, Shilinya has always liked that the other party can play with her when she brings four guards to her house, and she is also very grateful that the other party can teach her half-baked swordsmanship. But why did such an ordinary captain of the guard appear here, and the soldiers around him, including Delphi, adored him?

Dressed in the garb of the guards of Luou Town, Deadton was very incongruous in Ankitan's army, but he was not aware of it in any way. The width of the battlefield is not large, and the depth is also very limited, and I didn't walk long before I saw Alan and the others who were accepting the surrender ceremony of the other party.

"Alain, your daughter is looking for you when she wakes up!" Denton shouted to Alain in front of him from a distance of dozens of meters.

Obviously, Alain's face changed abruptly after hearing Sweeton's disgusting voice, first from seriousness to astonishment and then to ecstasy. The soldiers who stood in the way were all rudely pushed away, and Denton, who was frightened by the other party's behavior, was about to stop the other party from causing any accidents, but he was also knocked to the ground fiercely.

The intimate contact of the metal plate armor made Shilinya feel very uncomfortable, her father's strong hands almost strangled her ribs, and Shilinya, who had not reacted in a short time, did not know how to resist the other party's passionate expression.

"Finally awake!Finally awake!Finally awake!Fine, right?," Alain's slightly reddened face flowed through a line of tears, dripping onto Shilinya's white hair, while the unconscious himself continued to increase his strength as a way to express his joy.

"Let it go!" Denton, who was the first to notice that something was wrong, immediately stopped the other party's behavior, and Denton's hands desperately tried to break the other party's arms, "You are murdering now, understand?"

Finally sensing that something was wrong, Alan immediately stopped his actions and let go of his hands, letting Shirinya, who was almost hanging in the air, fall to the ground. Shirinya, who had just experienced a killing of her sister in her arms, was flushed with red faces, and kept breathing in a big gulp of air to replenish the air needed to suffocate just now.

"I ......" Alain, who realized his gaffe, didn't know how to face his daughter, and just now he almost made up for his daughter perfectly, "I didn't mean to, Shireen are you okay now, right?"

"Keep your emotions at bay, and keep your distance from Shirinya. Denton drew his sword and cut off the space between Shilinya and her father, "I have a lot of distrust in whether you, as a father, understand your responsibilities. ”

Alain, who was guilty and regretful, behaved very strangely when he saw Denton's actions and heard the other party's words. Originally overwhelmed by the expression of regret to his daughter, his hands silently pressed on the saber at his waist, and his eyes that were gently closed seemed to be struggling.

The surrounding soldiers all consciously or unconsciously gathered around, looking at the scene of the approaching big battle in front of them. Even the Earl of Jolivier, the general of the defeated army, swept away the decadent aura on his face, and looked very puzzled when he looked at the duke in front of him whose mood changed quickly and greatly.
