Hearing the two sisters speak, the aristocratic man's face had become extremely difficult to see, in fact, he did not expect such a development at the beginning. The little girl in front of him was an ordinary imp no matter how she looked at it, although this accident was indeed a little embarrassing, but he believed that as long as he explained it to this little ghost a little, then she would cry and go home to find her mother, and she didn't need to say anything more at all. In this way, not only can he lose the face of the other party, but he also has steps to go down, but he didn't expect that instead of turning around and running away in fright, these two little ghosts stood in front of him and accepted his challenge?!

How unreasonable! Two little girls don't even take me seriously?!

Good, good.

The aristocratic man's face changed a few times, but finally he regained his composure, and he looked at Yulian without any expression, and Yulian still looked back at him with the slightest difference in peace. At the same time, the others also looked at the noble man, waiting for his decision, since the little black-haired girl had already decided to fight, then ......... How will the other party respond?

The aristocratic man's side was a little uneasy, after all, a duel with a little girl, even if it was an accident, would be too face-saving. But the other party has such a tough attitude, and does not give himself a step down at all, what can he do? They looked at their master uneasily, damn it, everyone knows his temper, and it is impossible to end well at this point.

For the soldiers in the fortress, it is mostly lively, they are soldiers, and private fights are not allowed in the army. Therefore, the enthusiasm and aggressiveness of these soldiers had to be suppressed. But these nobles are different, in the eyes of the soldiers, they are not considered an army, so naturally they are not restricted by any military orders. And frankly speaking, it's quite interesting to be able to watch those high-ranking nobles and lords fighting in Pingyue, so there will be no one who will come out to stop them.

Because of this, the scene between the two sides became much colder for a while. In the end, the aristocratic man gritted his teeth and asked.

"Very well, in that case, then I won't say anything more, the time and place are up to you. Anyway, in the end, it must be my victory, so I don't need to care much about anything in such a small place. ”

"In that case, then we're welcome. ”

Thinking of this, Yulian looked around, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the small square not far away.

"So, how about being there after dinner today? I think it's a good choice for a post-dinner meal. ”

Hearing this, the aristocratic man's head suddenly burst into green tendons, although Yu Lian's speech was very light, but it was full of **naked and undisguised contempt, damn it, Holy Grace is above, he actually regarded a serious duel as an after-dinner exercise?

"Very well, that's it. ”

However, in the end, he did not have a seizure, but forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then opened his mouth to answer.

"I hope your dinner is delicious enough, so I don't think you have any regrets!"

At this, he closed his mouth, then turned around and waved his hand coldly, and then turned away with his men.

The main owner had left, so naturally the others did not stay long, and soon, the onlookers who had originally gathered around You Lian and the others dispersed. And it was only then that O'Faryl came over.

"My lord, I have to say, you really have a talent for causing trouble. ”

"Life is full of unknowns and conflicts to be interesting. ”

Yuren shrugged his shoulders.

"A smooth sailing life only brings destruction, but only a changeable wave can make a person feel the beauty of life, isn't it?"

Saying this, Yulian paused, he looked at the sky, and at this moment the bright red sunset had covered the sky, dyed with a dazzling layer of blue and inlaid with a red curtain with gold edges, like a rehearsal before the opening of a grand drama. Because this sudden event had delayed so much work, it was now evening, and there was not much time left for General Celtic's dinner.

"Well, it's not too early, and it's time for us to go. ”

With that, Yuren withdrew his gaze and looked at Ofariel again. It was evident that the former princess did not seem to be aware of the impending catastrophe at all, but remained quiet and obediently following her side, apparently unaware of the tragedy that was about to happen.

"But, Miss O'Faryl, this is the General's dinner after all, and since we're going to attend, we're going to have to dress in a grand way, shouldn't we?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Yuren's words, Ofariel still didn't react, she responded casually and subconsciously, and then looked at the scholar's outfit on her body, which seemed to have no problem at all, very clean, neat, and quite formal. What are you talking about, my lord?

"So, I think you should dress more appropriately for your owner. So I think that in order to show that we value and respect our masters, we should also change, and this is the best way to respond. Oh, don't thank me for my kindness, Miss O'Fariel, that's what I'm supposed to do as a sir. ”

Listening to Yulian finish these words in one breath, Offariel still didn't know what he wanted to say, but the woman's intuition had already made her subconsciously feel a little bad and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"I don't understand what you mean, Yuren-sama, what do you want to ........."

"Don't worry, I'm all set!"

Saying this, Yuren snapped his fingers, and then O'Faryl suddenly felt a pair of hands on her shoulders, and she turned back in surprise to see Charlotte looking at her with a soft, expectant smile.

"Alright, Miss O'Fariel, come with us, we are ready, just wait for this moment. ”

"You guys, this is ......"

Offariel didn't finish her words, for at this moment, her hands had been grabbed by Messiah and Seminya, and then, without saying a word, dragged her into the room. And Ofariel didn't think about what was waiting for her until this point.

But she'll find out soon.

As a soldier, it is obviously impossible for the Celtic dinner party to engage in so many flowery doorways between nobles like the lord of Yuren, in fact, the dinner party is arranged in a large military conference hall, a long table in the shape of an oval shape is covered with white cloths, plus the old wooden chairs that have been polished and shiny, which is the venue of the whole dinner. The content of the dinner is just as simple, and the nobles hold dinners mainly to exchange feelings, not to eat. But the soldiers are different, they are more practical, after all, eating is to feed the strength to fight, if they are like those nobles, then I am afraid that even eating all night will not be able to fill the stomach. Therefore, it was not the delicate little food of the nobles that was placed in front of everyone, but the roasted chicken, the cut steak and ham, plus the bread, and the ale in the fortress, which was the staple of the dinner.

And the protagonists of the dinner, of course, were not those noble and elegant nobles, Celt was not alone, out of respect for Yuren, or also to express a certain position, he brought several of his subordinates and important members of the legion to the banquet, but ......... At the moment, the performance of these guys is a bit embarrassing for Celtic.

These big bosses are not particularly polite people in the first place, and it is good to know how not to disturb you when you speak, and it is impossible to expect them to be polite like nobles. But right now, these big men in military uniforms have eyes as big as cowbells, staring intently at the visitors in front of them. It's no wonder, after all, the fortress is full of men, and even women are rarely seen, let alone beautiful women. And right now, there will be so many beauties at this dinner party, giving everyone the feeling of undoubtedly seeing an oasis in the desert, and they can't get enough of it.

In the face of their gaze, the girls brought by Yulian were also calm, and Charlotte stood quietly behind Yulian, doing her duty as a maid. The twin sisters are holding knives and forks in their hands without ladylike demeanor, giggling and attacking the steak on the plate in front of them, although their appearance is not sightly, but after all, they are two little girls, and in the eyes of everyone, they seem to see two cute children, so they don't care much, and even think they are very cute. And Judy still maintains her original indifferent appearance, but from her fierce momentum, you can feel that this woman has been on the battlefield and fought real battles, so she has also been valued by the generals.

And among them, the most embarrassing is O'Faryl. At this moment, she sat next to Yu Lian, looking at the plate in front of her with her head down, her face was red until the base of her neck.

It's no wonder that the current Offariel is the object of the most attention of this group of big bosses, I saw that she was wearing a sleeveless tight-fitting dress, the elegant burgundy and violet long hair reflected each other, setting off the nobility and elegance of the girl, and the pair of white lotus as beautiful, white arms were also completely displayed in front of everyone, a small white hairpin stuck on the side of her hair, plus the reflection of those jewels, made the girl in front of her a little more mature charm.

For any occasion, Ofariel would be proud of her outfit and even very happy. But now, she only felt embarrassed, after all, she felt like a fool to attend in such a military occasion in her costume as if she were attending a ball. So, since she attended, Ofaril had only been able to keep her head down, and she could feel the careless gaze of the big bosses, which made her very uncomfortable. But Yulian didn't seem to notice her predicament at all, but instead joked with those people.

"This little brother, you have a good eye. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, men have to have this kind of vision, don't you think?"

"Of course, oh, I miss my mother-in-law, if this young lady is half beautiful, my grandmother is a bear, I will definitely not be able to get out of bed for half a day!"

"It's all about skill, sir, it's not difficult, and when you get to know her, you'll find that every woman has her own unique inner side, and by the way, I'm not going to be out of bed for half a day, you're old. ”

"Hey, boy, I'm old, I'm still young, why don't we go to the old carriage tavern to the north and let Sally's little lady judge it?"

“...... Ahem. ”

Seeing that O'Faryl's head was about to be lowered under the table, Celt had to interrupt the conversation between Yuren and his subordinates in an embarrassed way, and he glanced at the young lord in front of him with a smile, and then raised his glass.

"Alright, we're here for dinner, don't say those boring words, come, toast to a reliable reinforcement we've stuffed. ”

"Cheers!"

Although the soldiers still have reservations about what their commander called "reliable reinforcements", it has to be said that Yuren has done a good job in personnel, and with the help of O'Fariel's small opportunity, he has successfully won the favor of these people. At least this little imp isn't as hypocritical as the other nobles, hey, he's kind of funny, and it would be nice to try to communicate. Therefore, his subordinates did not particularly refute the general's words, but everyone still had a question mark in their hearts about the strength of this young man and his subordinates.

But even so, the atmosphere of the dinner was very warm, and those subordinates did not become more restrained because of the participation of outsiders, on the contrary, they were the same as in the house, while eating and reporting to the Celtic general on the recent progress of the fortress, these were not military secrets, and there was nothing wrong with the fortress itself, and when Yulian heard the end, he found that the only problem was the group of cyclops located in the territory of Orrut. Obviously, according to the reports of these people, the morale of many soldiers has been somewhat softened because they are often beaten and do not fight back, which is very dangerous for an army. And now, Celtic doesn't seem to have a better way.

"Mr. Yuren. ”

After three rounds of drinking, and halfway through dinner, Celtic finally got into the right place.

"Actually, this time I'm inviting a few of you, not for anything else, I just want to hear your views on the four generals of the Sith Empire. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ofaril raised his head in surprise and looked at the old general in front of him, while Yuren only raised an eyebrow, and then smiled.

"Why us?"

"Because ..............."

At this point, General Celtic hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I think you should know more about talented knights than we old bones. ”

As soon as these words came out, the conference hall immediately fell silent.

Gifted Knight.

People who are born with knightly talents, these people are the darlings of fate, and the strength of every gifted knight is far beyond ordinary people. This is not only because of their demonic growth rate, but also because the gifted knights have a special skill that no one else has, the aura of faith.

A strong person who has stepped into the realm of the knight class can manifest his beliefs into swordsmanship, but the gifted knight is a step forward in this regard. Not only can they make their faith manifest, but they can even overlay it on others, so that they will be affected as well! In fact, this power is a mysterious power that there is no way to describe, it seems to be equivalent to the rules of faith, which can only be obeyed and cannot be resisted.

When Celtic traveled around the continent as a young man, he had the privilege of meeting one of the four generals of the Sith Empire, and the oldest and most senior of them, the guardian knight Nahias Stone, in battle. At that time, he was in charge of leading the Imperial Guard to guard the Black Forest on the southern side, but unfortunately encountered a once-in-a-century beast tide, and hundreds of thousands of terrifying black wolves gathered to storm the Empire's border defenses. At that time, Nahias had less than 30,000 men under his command, the weather was cold, and the equipment was desperate, no matter how you looked at it, it was a dead end. However, when the guardian knight unfolded the knight aura that belonged to him and belonged only to him, within the aura, all the soldiers who were shrouded immediately condensed into a flesh and blood city wall, and they resisted the beast tide of hundreds of thousands of black wolves to the death. This simply doesn't make sense, after all, the strength of humans is much smaller than that of beasts, and those hundreds of thousands of black wolves are swarming up, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of victory. But after they encountered the defenders covered by the halo, they were stunned and pushed out as if they had encountered an invisible city wall. This power is the embodiment of the rules of faith, in which any common sense is meaningless, and there is only the power of faith itself.

As for the gifted knights, everyone is not ignorant of them, and their aura of faith varies in size and the number of people they can envelop. In fact, even in its form of expression, it is very different. Some are in the form of auras, others are more intense and eye-catching, and some are like air, invisible and intangible, knowing that you will only be aware of their existence after you encounter them. And for these four generals of the Sith Empire, West still has a lot of effort to investigate.

The Guardian Knight Nahias Stone's aura of faith is a guardian power, which manifests itself in the aura, where no one or any means can break through his defenses. This is enough to be called an absolute defense, which shows that it is not unreasonable for the Sith Empire to regard it as the greatest contributor to the defense of the frontier. As for the number of people that its aura can cover, there is no detailed number.

As for Kahlan the Wind Bringer, no one knows the specifics of his aura of faith, because when his aura is activated, Kahlan and his army will be shrouded in a faint mist, and then he and his army will be like ghosts, advancing at a speed that ordinary people would never believe, which has surpassed all the most exaggerated estimates, and even the high-speed maneuver that only appears in dreams. And his troops, the upper limit has always been 20,000 people, so West estimates that the scale of his aura is only so large.

"However, what worries me the most is Sidwig, the 'puppeteer', and Lintilott, the 'silver king'. ”

When he said this, Celt did not hide his fear in the slightest.

"Kahan's high-speed maneuver is indeed tricky, but after all, it is only a surprise soldier, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Stone is old, and his trait is good at guarding, so he doesn't need to pay attention to it for the time being. But Sidwig is different, we've learned of her aura abilities............"

Saying this, the old general paused, he took a deep breath, and then continued.

"As long as she is within the range of her aura, she can command every soldier like an arm! Yes! Every soldier is under her complete control! Under that girl, there are no soldiers, only puppets! They will not retreat, they will not collapse, they will not even have their own thoughts and feelings!"

That's right, this is what the old general fears the most, all wars, all of them are fighting a double war of psychology and **, through various means, sometimes you can target the enemy's psychology, so that they collapse in advance, or scattered. This is normal, after all, people are individual lives, even if the military has a rule of swearing, but there is no guarantee that everyone will do so. And even so, after all, there is a gap between people, and everyone's overall view is different, when encountering difficulties and dangers, the judgment of the forward team may be completely different from the intention of the main commander in the rear, or it will be due to various reasons and missed opportunities.

However, this is not the case with the soldiers in Sidwig, they are the most obedient puppets, pointing east and never going west, perfectly carrying out the orders of the commander, not breaking down because of any emotional burden, and not making wrong judgments due to pressure. Everything was in Sidway's hands, and she didn't have to care about the soldiers' morale, let alone the attrition and losses of the army, and whether those combat policies would be resisted by the soldiers.

No one knows exactly how the girl did all this, and as Celt said, gifted knights are a mysterious thing in themselves, and even say that the traits they sometimes exhibit don't make sense at all, you let it be like that, it is like that. There is no why, and there is no no why. There are no questions and no answers.

Frankly speaking, Celtic had mixed feelings when he spoke of Sidwig, after all, Sidwig was likely to become the most formidable enemy of the Red Fortress, and he was distressed by this, and at the same time a little envious and jealous. After all, such an ability is simply too rebellious, and it is an ability that almost every general hopes for and dreams of. Holy grace is above, what kind of destiny is this, why is such a good ability given to such a girl?

And next, the last and most important figure among the four generals of Heaven's Damnation, the silver king Lynn Tyrott, Celtic gave such an evaluation.

"Her abilities are simply monsters. ”
