Two days later, in the early morning, Patriarch Friedes, the eldest son of Emperor Siegfried, and Duchess Oroccia Baselius gathered at Duncan Fortress to open the east gate of the fortress with Duke Usein Baselius and welcome the vanguard of the Kingdom of Cambys.

Siegfried Frederick wore carefully selected ceremonial armor, a purple and gold helmet that showed the identity of the prince of Sassan, and a blood-red bear monster cloak hung behind him like a banner soaked in blood, diluting the magnificence of the ceremonial armor and setting off its heavy majesty, so that the eldest son of the Sasan Empire added an extraordinary temperament of heroic slaughter.

Ceremonial armor emphasizes opulence and beauty, with the blood-wolf coat of arms of the Frederick family and ruby decorations, which looks imposing, but the intricate structure is not suitable for combat. Especially in February, when the fire season, the ceremonial armor is heavy and hot on the body, which is very uncomfortable. As a veteran knight, Siegfried didn't feel too uncomfortable with his ceremonial armor and fur cloak, but was glad that he had chosen.

Receiving the eldest princess Auguste and the Count of the Golden Eye, who came to the aid of thousands of miles, the first heir to the throne of the Frederick family, of course, fully expressed the sincerity of the royal family of Sassan. During the war, when the grand welcome ceremony and the grand court were spared, in order to show the importance that Frederick royal family attached to Her Royal Highness Princess Roland Auguste, Ziegy chose his favorite set of court ceremonial armor, which caused the court governor to complain that he had undermined the dignity of the royal family of Sassan. Because ceremonial armor symbolizes patience, humility, and guarding, and is the attire of those who belong to the lower ranks, the eldest son of the emperor only needs to wear ceremonial armor on certain specific occasions. For example, guarding the cemetery of the ancestors and receiving the blessing of the Holy Light from the archbishop.

The words of the court steward Jossen: His Royal Highness Roland August is neither a spiritual symbol of Frederick's ancestors nor a servant representing the Lord of Radiance, and you wear ceremonial armor to greet her, and others think that Emperor Frederick's first heir in line to the throne is her guardian knight.

What does Qiao Sen know? Princess Roland is not formal, loves novelty things, and the armor craftsmanship of the Barcelius family is first-class today, if I don't wear ceremonial armor, how can I have the slightest sense of existence in front of the golden knight of the Barcelius family? Not to mention that as the eldest son of the emperor of the Sassan Empire, if the two highnesses of the Cambis regard me as Barcelios's followers, it will be a loss of royal dignity...... Zigger's eyes swept over the battle armor on the two Dukes of Barcelius, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud. All present were dressed in battle gear, and the only ceremonial armor highlighted his prominence, and he believed that the soldiers of the vanguard of the Cambys would be able to see Frederick's first heir at first sight.

Patriarch Friedes was pleased with Ziggy's attire. The meeting between the Golden Knights, without temptation and turnaround, can finalize major decisions in just a few words. On such an occasion, the Silver Knight had no room to speak, and Siegfried had better not come, but since he came, he could not be ignored. The eldest son of the Emperor of the Sassan Empire wore ceremonial armor to greet the noble Sun Elf Randall, which showed the sincerity and modesty of the Frederick family.

The distant wind brought the low roar of the six-legged swift dragon, which immediately alerted the horned wolf and the giechen, and the guards hurriedly calmed the restless war beast and issued a command gesture that was friend but not foe. Then, the earth rumbled and shook, and the beast knights of Gombis appeared on the horizon in the golden dawn. There were more than 100 of them in total, some of them were knights in pure gold armor, some were apprentice knights in pure gold scale armor, some were light cavalry in dark red leather armor, some were elite soldiers with full chain mail, or they rode hideous six-legged monsters, or they rode terrestrial birds of prey, or they rode long-horned wolves, or they rode strong war horses, and the only thing they had in common was the solemn and high-spirited spirit of the triumph of the battle.

Friedus nodded secretly and said with a smile, "The six-legged swiftloon of Gombis is the largest and most powerful alien war beast in the human realm. ”

"It's also the ugliest and most eaten alienated war beast...... I really don't know, how can the Kingdom of Gombis raise more than a thousand swift dragons?"

Legendary Battle Priest Kent laughed, "When I was stationed at the ravens of the Centaur Hills, I saw the power of the Swiftbird Light Cavalry. Although this land-traveling bird of prey has the shortcomings of poor weight bearing and lack of physical fitness, they have focused eyes, sharp eyes, sensitive sense of hearing and smell, and their necks can be flexibly rotated to facilitate observation of surrounding movements, and they are naturally good at cooperating with hunting. They charge at an astonishing speed, and are adept at jumping over obstacles and making sharp turns, but they are well-balanced. The Swiftbird Light Cavalry is the only cavalry class capable of fighting with the Beast Knights. I had already concluded that the Swiftbird Light Cavalry, created by His Highness Randall, would shine on the battlefield. ”

Except for the kingdoms of Seuss and Borui, the other kingdom forces have their own unique alienated war beasts. The six-legged swift dragons of Cambis are not unusual, but the light cavalry that can fight with them is unique. Alienated war beasts are vicious by nature, hungry for flesh and blood, forming a natural threat to herbivorous animals, and the bloody scenes of them biting the enemy often startle the war horses, and it is difficult for ordinary cavalry to cooperate with war beasts to fight. The swift bird is a predatory terrestrial bird of prey, and the flesh and blood of the prey will stimulate their ferocity and become more aggressive.

The appearance of the Swift Bird Light Cavalry filled the gap of the lack of assistance for the War Beast Knights, which naturally aroused everyone's interest.

Usein was greatly moved, and asked, "Your Excellency, Your Highness Randall and Randall have known each other for a long time, and the Templars' purchase of rattan leather armor from the Centaur Hills was also facilitated by Your Excellency. I don't know, does Centaur Hills intend to sell Xunniao to the outside world?"

Priest Kent laughed and said proudly, "I have discussed this with the Earl of Goldeneye, and he does have the intention of selling the Swiftbird, but the price is not cheap...... His Royal Highness Randall cultivated swift birds and expanded the population of swift birds, which cost a huge amount of money, and the financial resources of the people and horses were a little difficult. After all, swift birds are divided into male and female, and female birds generally do not act as war birds, but the food they eat every day is similar to that of male birds. Raising one swift bird is equivalent to raising two swift birds. His Royal Highness Randall wants to make a profit by selling the male and female breeding birds of the Swift Bird and expand the scale of the Swift Bird Light Cavalry. The Kingdom of Neville ordered 50 pairs of swift birds from Centaur Hills and bid 400,000 gold soles, which was still the preferential price given by His Royal Highness Randall in the face of Mrs. Dolly. ”

Ziggy couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "400,000 gold soles to buy 50 pairs of swift birds, this is too expensive, right?"

Kent shook his head again and again and said, "It's not cheap, it's not expensive...... The Sassan Empire wants to buy 50 pairs of swift birds, and without 1.6 million gold soles, the Earl of Goldeneye will not sell them. ”

The alienated war beasts carefully cultivated by the major forces are divided into male beasts, female beasts, and barren war beasts. Male and female beasts are responsible for breeding, are under the strictest protection, and are absolutely not for sale. War beasts can be given to retired war beast knights as battle partners, or as gifts to nobles. It is impossible for other forces to obtain male beasts and female beasts by any means, and even if they do, the Inquisition will take back the lost beasts of the great lord in accordance with the war beast covenant concluded by the major powers, and severely punish the thieves for their crimes, so as not to cause war. The Swift Bird of the Centaur Hills is also protected by the War Beast Covenant, but the Swift Bird, like the Moon Bear War Beast of the Teutonic Duchy, has the ability to reproduce, and 50 pairs of Swift Birds is enough to breed several fleets of Swift Birds.

Siegfried was pondering the pros and cons of buying the Swift Bird, and Duchess Oloxia Barcelius said softly: "His Royal Highness Frederick has no intention of buying the Swift Bird from the Centaur Hills, so we Barcelius are willing to pay for the Swift Bird, and ask Your Excellency Kent to help us to make a case to His Highness Randall, because I may need to raise funds, and it is best to pay in installments." ”

"Well...... Reverend Kent glanced at Friedes, and then at the Emperor's eldest son, who was still stunned.

Zieg came to his senses, but 2 million gold sol was not a small number, and he had no right to make such a big deal as the heir to the Frederick family.

Just as he hesitated, Oroxia suddenly looked in the direction of the vanguard of the Cambys, and said with a smile, "Princess Auguste came first. ”

Ziggy immediately turned his head to see a slender figure riding a golden unicorn out of the procession and galloping towards Duncan's Fortress. The unicorn cultivated by the Rand Empire was the fastest sprinting alien war beast, and in the blink of an eye, it closed the distance of two kilometers, allowing Ziggy to see the appearance of the female knight clearly. Her eyebrows are picturesque, bright and beautiful, her turquoise eyes are as clear and moist as the purest emeralds, her white-gold ponytail flutters in the wind, riding a golden unicorn, stepping on the morning light, and the fitting women's Mithril armor outlines the perfect curves, looking heroic.

Most of the high-ranking female knights are reserved and reserved, and never make people think of them, and there are only one of them like Roland Auguste who is so unbridled that the charm of innocence and nature makes Siegfried lose his mind for a moment, and a thought pops up in his mind:

She is the goddess of the morning light.

"No problem, I am an old friend of His Highness Randall, and I often go to His Excellency Harald, the Barbarian Elder, to drink wine and eat meat together. His Royal Highness Barcelius will definitely help with the purchase of the swift bird. Pastor Duncan said next to the eldest son.

"Thank you, Lord Kent. A gentle smile appeared on Orokxia's face as she saluted the legendary Battle Priest.

Patriarch Friedes was unfazed on the surface, but he cursed in his heart: shameless.

The sale of swift birds in the hills is like the sale of iron bricks and giant brick kilns, but what they sell is actually the right. The Moon Bear family invested 2.4 million gold soles to buy iron brick preparation technology from Centaur Hill, and then sold the entire set of technology to the lords of the empire. Instead of spending money, they earned tens of thousands of gold soles, obtained the technology of iron bricks and giant brick kilns, and strengthened the ties between the Teutonic principality and the lords of central Sassang. This is because of the distribution rights proposed by the Earl of Golden-Eye, and the iron brick technology is sold to only one in a kingdom, and the buyer decides whether to transfer it to the lord of his own country.

Barcelius missed the Iron Bricks and would not miss the Swiftbird Hussars again. The cost of 2,000,000 gold soles was divided among the lords of the Sassonian Empire, and the amount of money spent by Barcelius was actually very limited. Those families who wanted to cultivate the Swift Bird Light Cavalry also had to curry favor with Duke Barcelios, which invisibly increased the prestige and influence of the Iron Mountain Royal Family.

Siegfried was not stupid, and he quickly figured out what was at stake, but his rival was Duchess Oroxia Barcelius.

The Golden Knight's psychic power silently hinted at Siegfried, making him realize that he did not have the authority to raise the funds of 2 million goldsoles. Before she could speak, Orokxia sensed Princess Auguste's movements, and her next sentence caused Ziggy to turn her attention to Roland. As Legendary Priests, Friedes and Kent are not affected by Oroxia's spirit, but they don't have the Golden Knight's ability to control elemental changes, nor do they have extraordinary spiritual charisma, and by the time they react, it's too late.

This is why the Golden Knights are rarely pro-government, and the aristocratic scholars are impressed by their charisma, and no amount of ingenuity can be used. But a hundred aristocratic scholars are always more thoughtful and meticulous than a golden knight.

The Golden Knight was not to be taken lightly, and since the Sarsan royal family had given up the right to buy the Swift Bird, the Priest of Kent had no choice but to accede to Oroxia's request.

Friedes did not blame Frederick's eldest son, nor did he blame the priest of Kent. He himself was deflated in front of Orokxia, not to mention the bronze veteran knight Zigger, and Kent came from an ordinary vassal family in the Duchy of Teuton, not a knightly nobleman, he was a famous big mouth among legendary priests, and loved to show off. Everyone is a legendary priest, and Kent doesn't need to look at his face.

If you want to blame Oroxia, you can blame the big for bullying the small, bullying the weak with the strong, and she doesn't even want the face of the Golden Knight!

However, only the Earl of the Golden Eye could make the Golden Knight attack a small veteran knight regardless of his identity.

Friedes had studied the character and deeds of His Highness Victor Wyndall Randall, and the information he had collected alone filled two large chests. The more he studied, the more powerless he felt, for all of Count Golden's plans were irresistible, and his layout was impossible for anyone to see.

Take the matter of Swift Bird as an example, the Earl of Golden Eye took the initiative to propose to Bishop Pero of the Centaur Hills that when all the kingdoms had Swift Bird, he would kick Swift Bird out of the category of war beasts. This means that the church can levy the eleven tax on the lords. You must know that the war beast is not within the scope of the eleventh tax, and the church wants to extract the alienated war beast from the lord, unless the horned wolf war beast is taken out first. At the beginning, the Duchy of Teuton refused to treat the Moon Bear as an ordinary beast, and the Radiant Knights offered a series of generous conditions in order to win over the Moon Bear family, including the inclusion of the Moon Bear in the War Beast Covenant. The Duchy of Teutonia then joined the Sarsanid Empire. The Centaur Hills put the swift bird in the category of war beasts, and it was also Sylvia's will. Now, the Count of Golden-Eyed had given up when he said he would give up, and Friedes had to support the Barcelius family in financing the purchase of the Swiftbirds, because it was in the interests of the Church as well as the interests of the secular lords. It's just that Friedes couldn't understand the intentions of the Count of Golden-Eyed at all.

The Earl of Golden-Eyed never pointed fingers at anyone, but everyone couldn't help but follow in his footsteps. This confused and made Friedes feel uncomfortable.

Emperor Frederick told Friedes that the royal family had spent 1,000,000 gold soles on iron brick craftsmanship and the design of a giant brick kiln from the Duchy of Teuton, and that the royal family's finances had become strained. If Barcelius used the Swiftbird light cavalry to slash at Frederick's treasury at this time, the royal family's embarrassment would have been even worse.

In fact, Frederick's royal family supported 80,000 elite cavalry, conscripted 80,000 militiamen, and 100,000 young laborers. The other families will not have an easy time, because the war crisis and the financial crisis go hand in hand, affecting the entire human kingdom...... With the exception of Centaur Hills, the gold seems to have flowed into Sylvia and Victor's pockets.

Raw sugar, purple cane wine, iron bricks, and swift birds are not Count Golden-Eyed's things? What does Victor want so many gold coins for? Could it be that he wants to lend money to collect interest? Will it be so simple for Count Golden-Eyed? We will send more refugees to the Centaur Hills, and if the price of green wheat rises again, won't the money come back? It really doesn't work, four years later, the Thor Alliance, we can still mint more gold and silver soles......

While Patriarch Friedes pondered the question, Princess Roland had already rushed in front of the group, and she jumped off the unicorn and walked lightly towards the group.

Ziegy took off his purple and gold helmet and stepped forward, with a warm smile on his handsome face, and took the initiative to salute in the most elegant manner.

“...... Wow, what beautiful armor. Roland, with a strong wind, walked past the eldest son of the emperor, who was caressing his chest, and walked up to Oroxia, his eyes lit up, and he said with joy: "You must be Victor's cousin Barcelius, Oroxia...... Wow, your armor is as beautiful as yours. ”

Ziggy froze slightly, then put down his right hand on his chest, smiled, looked at Roland Auguste's back, and thought:

She is such a spontaneous and lovely princess.
