The barbarians' makeshift camp was actually a flat land, with no fences, no barracks, not even simple huts to live in, and only hundreds of shelters were built in the open space, in which dry firewood, barrels of purple cane wine, slaughtered livestock, and vegetables were piled up.

The sons of the mountains were accustomed to the hard life of sleeping in the open and sleeping in the ice and snow, and in their opinion, tents were for babies, pregnant women, and the sick and wounded, and the mighty savages never escaped the trials and tribulations of nature. Although the conditions of the temporary camp are rudimentary, as long as there is wine and meat, it is the best camp.

Two kilometres from the barbarian camp, the House of York built an additional military camp. The camp is equipped with fences, ditches, and turrets, and the infrastructure is also fully equipped, with 500 elite fanged soldiers already in place, followed by 2,000 cavalry of the Knights of Glory, and 1,000 elite paladins, the total strength of this barracks will be more than 3,500. As for the 200 Glory Knights, they are all knight nobles, so they naturally rest in Jinshui City.

The barbarian visit is of great significance, and hospitality is one thing, but so is the necessary precautions. In fact, barbarians are not easy to deal with, they will punch each other in the chest when they are angry, and then they will get into a ball, and when they are happy, they will punch each other in the chest, and hammer and hammer and hammer. For humans, it's a bit of a dilemma.

The barbarians are not light or heavy, but the human warriors are equally dignified, and the only way is to keep their distance. Fortunately, the men of the saber-toothed tiger merchant group were tactful and familiar with the temperament of the barbarians, and with them in the middle of the coordination and communication, there was no major mess.

Therefore, the Sabertooth Tiger Merchant Order specializes in entertaining barbarians, while the fifth-level battle priest Kent and the sixth-level paladin Wallace command three thousand elites are enough to deal with any contingencies.

The human army is supported by the Combat Priest Corps, and the increase in combat effectiveness is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.

After setting up the barbarians, Sylvia and Sophia invited Pope Clement, Tournans, Bishop Pero, Princess Roland, Archduke Williams, and the Knights of Glory to Goldwater.

After crossing the Jinshui River, everyone saw the towering Black Castle, where Embiter York, dressed in a magnificent duke's dress, led the top of the York family to wait outside the city for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it is a great honour for you to visit the House of York, and I, the most devout believer of the Most High Lord, Enbiter York, pay you the highest respect!"

The Duke of York trotted before the Pope, bowed half-kneeling, and his attitude was almost flattering, and Clement raised the Mithril Scepter, tapped it on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "May my Lord bless you, Lord Embiter." The Duke of York's fat face suddenly smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Clergy don't put on a show against high-ranking knights, but they have a natural advantage in front of ordinary nobles. Ordinary people always have headaches and brain fevers, not to mention that the fifth-level priest has the magic of life delaying.

"Child, may our Lord guide you in the direction. Tournans walked up to the Duke of York with a solemn and holy expression.

The Duke of York rolled his eyes in his heart: "What are you doing here as a paladin?"

Just as the Duke of York was about to greet Roland and Archduke Williams, the eldest princess of Gambis jumped off the unicorn, crossed the Duke of York, shook the hand of a female knight, and exclaimed, "Caterina! How are you doing in the Yorks? Did this fat man bully you? I heard that you have another daughter, take me to see it, and I have prepared a gift for her...... Hey, you've been promoted to Grand Knight?!"

The female knight had a rare blue hair, a beautiful and charming appearance, and a gentle and generous temperament, and she smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are still like this...... Enthusiastic. But I can't be rude...... You let me go first...... Well, Roland August, if you make me rude, don't try to get the gift I have for you. ”

"Gifts?"

Roland hurriedly let go of Caterina's hand, looked at the dragon lizard leather armor on her body, and asked, "Dear Caterina, is the Itugos leather armor you prepared as a gift?" Seeing Caterina nodding, she immediately smiled and kissed her close friend's face, "Baby, I knew you wouldn't forget to leave me one!"

Caterina temporarily freed herself from Roland's entanglement, and curtsy to Archduke Williams: "Caterina York has seen His Highness, may His Highness have good luck." ”

"Lady York, don't be polite. ”

Williams paused and said in a gentle tone, "Caterina, congratulations on stepping into the silver realm and achieving extraordinary achievements. "The York family has added another high-ranking knight, and his mood is somewhat complicated.

"Alright, alright. I can't wait to try my Behemoth Leather Armor. Roland took Caterina by the arm and said as he went, "My dear sister, have you received a secret letter from me with my latest body measurements, and it would be bad if you still made leather armor according to my original size...... I must state that I am by no means fat, and my waistline has not changed at all......"

"Roland, can you discuss such a private matter here?" said Caterina stealthily squeezing Roland's small hand and in a very small voice.

"It's okay, my voice is so low that they can't hear it. Roland whispered into Caterina's ear, "My sister, I'm not Sylvia's match yet, but my student has avenged you...... Little Victor was my student, and he became Silvia's man, and according to etiquette, Silvia had to call you Lady Caterina...... Of course, you just have to take this kind of thing to heart. ”

Caterina: "......"

Sylvia was expressionless, tilted her head slightly, and her gaze swept to the left back, and the bald paladin's ears immediately changed back to their original shape.

"Oh my god......"

Walking across the drawbridge, Roland stopped, looked up and exclaimed, "This is the giant beast Itugos?

In the square in front of the gates of Blackcastle, two thick logs ten meters high were erected, and two huge dragon lizard heads were inserted from the top of the logs. Maybe it's not dragon lizards, because they are too big, even bigger than the body of ordinary dragon lizards, the blue-black scales are shining with metallic luster, and four bone spurs more than 1 meter long are born from the forehead to the neck, like dragon horns, the closed mouth protrudes hundreds of fangs, and the citrine the size of a human face is inlaid in the eye sockets, acting as eyes, even if it has been dead for a long time, there is still a hideous aura that makes people palpitate.

"The heads of the alienated behemoths Iturgos, as the populace likes to call them Itus and Gotus, respectively. ”

At some point, the Knights of Glory fanned themselves in front of the logs, and the Duke of York triumphantly introduced: "Itus weighs 4,407 pounds, and Gotus weighs 4,320 pounds, and it takes a lot of effort on the part of the craftsman to make them into specimens and hang them up again." During this time, the aristocrats visiting them were in constant flux, blocking the North Gate Square, and if I hadn't issued a ban in advance, I would have had to greet you at the East Gate. ”

Roland circled around the log pillar several times, and couldn't help but say, "Sylvia, I want to go up and have a look." ”

"Roland, as long as you're happy. Sylvia smiled.

As soon as the words fell, Roland jumped more than ten meters high, his body showed a green brilliance, and it fell lightly on Itus's head, holding a straight bone spur in his hand, posing in several poses, and a look of intoxication and yearning appeared on his beautiful face, and he jumped down after a while.

"Sylvia, how many swords did you use to kill this drake?"

"Instinct is greater than intelligence, and it is not difficult to subdue it, and I cut off their cervical vertebrae with two swords. Sylvia said lightly.

"Same as I thought. Roland nodded, and said distressedly: "I don't know if I will meet a giant beast of the same level in the future, Sylvia, I envy you so much." ”

Turnans said solemnly: "It is not difficult for Her Highness Silvia to subdue the alienated giant beast, but the risk is very large! ”

Whether or not Itugos is intelligent, its size and strength can crush humans, and if it hits it head-on, no one will survive, not to mention that it has extraordinary talents. The Knights of Glory and the High Paladins felt a heavy sense of oppression when they looked at Itugos's head.

Grand Duke Williams smiled slightly, and raised his voice: "We may not have the strength and talent comparable to monsters, but the supreme Lord of Light has given us the faith of protection and salvation. Wisdom, courage, perseverance, unity, and all the precious qualities that make us strong, and we carry the weight without fear, even if it is a true dragon!"

"Praise the Lord Most High for showing us the way and from confusion. ”

Pope Clement stepped forward and said, "Itugos is not a true dragon, but if it is allowed to drain flesh, this alien drake will be a nightmare for all living beings, including the people who live in the Centaur Hills. Congratulations, Knight Sylvia, for your feat of slaying dragons will be remembered in history, and you should be crowned the Dragon Slayer. ”

This is the guidance of the Most High and my glory. ”

Sylvia drew her sword and fell to her knees on one knee, the Mithril Scepter in Clement's hand glowing with a white-gold glow, tapping it on Sylvia's shoulder. The knights and clerics present shouted, "Dragon Slayer, Dragon Slayer, Dragon Slayer!"

"Wow, dragon slayer, I want to do that too......" Roland's eyes sparkled with envy.

"Your Highness, it's time to go"

Seeing the Knights of Glory standing still, Caterina hurriedly pulled Roland towards the gates of the Black Castle. Turnans fell behind slowly, and Bishop Perro leaned into his ear and whispered, "Bishop be reserved, you can climb up again when no one is around." ”

Tournans's face was straightened, and his eyes and nose followed Clement.

After passing through the Black Castle and arriving at Jinshui City, Sylvia turned around and said apologetically: "My cousin and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have a lot to say, so I won't accompany you." Tonight, I'm hosting a dinner at Rose Manor for your lordships. ”

"I had a long journey, so I went to the cathedral to rest. Clementa nodded, and then commanded, "Perro, you and His Royal Highness Williams and the Duke of York discuss the barbarians' entry into Raven Town. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Perot bowed and saluted.

Everyone was separated, and Roland and Caterina were long gone.

When Sophia was about to board the carriage, Archduke Williams came up and asked, "Sophia, the barbarian is your invited guest." Tell me, do you place the barbarians in Ravenville as the Marquis of Wimbleton, or as the Viscountess Randall?"

Sophia frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Sylvia, but did not get any hint, muttered for a moment, and said: "Raven Town is the territory of the Randall family, and I invite the barbarians as guests in the name of Viscountess Randall. ”

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Archduke Williams said to himself: "That's fine, that guy Friedrich doesn't have to sleep." So saying, he walked toward the Duke of York and the Bishop of Perro.

In the Rose Manor, Sophia, under the service of the maid, took off her leather armor, wore only thin underwear, walked into Sylvia's bedroom barefoot, slammed herself on the couch of manticore, and moaned, "How comfortable......"

Looking at Sophia's enchanting appearance, Sylvia took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "What a stunner, even I am excited, no wonder Victor is obsessed with you." ”

"There isn't even a single attendant in the inner courtyard of Rose Manor, and it seems that you really care about Victor. Sophia opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Little Victor is very jealous. ”

"Elven blood nobles are not high-ranking knights, and they are not affected by the elemental sea. Just like ordinary men, they have a strong desire for exclusivity for their partners, and Draven, the Sword Saint, is no exception, let alone Victor. Sylvia looked down and smiled, "I'm just emulating the Queen of Iron Mountain." ”

Sophia struggled to prop up her delicate body and said in surprise: "However, you seem to be really in love with him." ”

"If you want to get, you have to give. Sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, not to mention that love itself is a beautiful enjoyment. But on top of love, there is also pursuit. As she spoke, Sylvia looked at Sophia with wary eyes, "Victor belongs to me now, don't think about going back." ”

Sophia rolled her eyes and said depressedly: "I never ask for the gifts I give." Although, I regret it too...... I knew that he would turn his back on Catherine, so I should have firmly tied him up and secretly controlled the Chamber of Commerce, so that I wouldn't completely turn against Catherine. Now, it's too late to say anything, he must hate me to death. ”

"It's not too late!"

Sylvia sat on the edge of the sofa, her fingers swept over Sophia's fair and slender legs, and she smiled softly: "I can give you to Victor, with your beauty, it is easy to charm him." ”

Sophia's expression changed, and she still said unwillingly: "Being a viscountess is not the life I want. ”

"And what kind of life do you want?"

"I ......"

"Honey, you don't know what you want. You are uncertain about the future, and this is about your path to the top, but fortunately you have enough time to think slowly, and I will provide you with the necessary guidance. ”

Sylvia raised her hand to brush the hair from Sophia's face and said, "Let's talk about the barbarians first. ”

Sophia sighed, "I know what you want to ask. It was by chance that I received a commission from the tribes of the mountains, and more than a year ago I sent Goran back to the Duchy of Teuto......" She explained to Sylvia in detail what had happened, and finally sighed: "I don't know why it came to be like this?"

"The Ephissos family is finished, Queen Eleano has granted me the title of earl, and Neovest has personally recruited me, and has given me a unicorn, the one that has been usurped by Roland. Catherine said that she didn't care about her past suspicions, and even apologized tactfully, and almost everyone was showing kindness to me, but they didn't leave any room for me to attack my chamber of commerce. The freedmen traders everywhere have betrayed the Bucks Merchant Group, and if this continues, the steward of the Merchant Group will leave me in less than a year. ”

Sylvia listened quietly, waiting for Sophia to finish speaking, and then asked, "Among these barbarians, there are 40 more women than men, and almost every male will have a mate, which is entirely in preparation for migration and reproduction. You've been with them for nearly two years, don't you know their true purpose?"

"Elder Harald didn't hide it. ”

Sophia nodded and said, "According to him, they are looking for a holy relic in the Southern Continent, and if they can't find the holy relic, the mission will not be over, no matter how long it takes, until they are found." Of course, these barbarians were not willing to leave the Holy Mountain, in fact, they were also forced. ”

Sophia pursed her lips and said, "Harald lost the fight, and so did the other barbarians...... In short, they wanted to stay for 20 years and then return to the Holy Mountain. Arret will send someone else to do this task. Of course, the rest has nothing to do with me. ”

Sylvia shook her head and sighed, "Harald has lost...... The barbarians are really strong. Have you ever thought about it, how will the lords react if you wander around with Urusa, a barbarian who is more powerful than the Golden Knight? Are you doing business, or are you threatening others to do business? Even if you don't have this kind of thought, the people below will inevitably be arrogant. Am I not the best example? I didn't say anything, and the lords of House York scared the Joshua family half to death, which indirectly led to the conflict between Ryan and me. ”

Sophia was silent for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I can't give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if I do it again, I will still accept the commission of the barbarians." ”

"Of course you can't give up! Whoever gives up is a fool. ”

Sylvia explained with a smile: "If you don't take it, someone else will take it." So, the barbarian's commission is not accidental, but inevitable. ”

"In the most glorious era of the Chosen One, humanity allied itself with elves and barbarians. Now, the elves are far away, the northern barbarians are extinct, the humans are alone, the orcs are overwhelming us, and we need allies. And trade is the best way to carry out diplomacy, otherwise, why did the Sassan Empire allow the major caravans to trade with the tribes under the mountain, not for the sake of forming an alliance with Arret? Such a good thing has fallen on your head, and of course the major powers will show favor to you. ”

"You're neutral, and that's embarrassing. On the bright side, everyone will still maintain the same attitude towards you, but behind the scenes, you must be forced to make a choice. In other words, we all have to take the initiative to win you, so we can't let you look left and right. ”

Sylvia smiled and said, "If you join other forces, at least it will be an earldom. The conditions I offer you are not as good as others, I am not landless, but the barbarians are far less important to me than Victor. You can only be Viscountess Randall. If you choose me, in addition to helping me build a port, you and Victor's children must marry Caterina's children. In return, you can share Victor with me. ”

"Honey, you have to think carefully. I will not force you. ”

Sylvia said with a smile. Sophia glanced at her, "You're not alone, are you?"

"So what's the matter? Victor might become a new generation of Juggernaut. Sylvia said disapprehantly: "His current bloodline is no different from that of the Golden Knight, isn't it normal to have a few mates?"

Sophia looked sideways at Sylvia for a moment, then sneered. "Dear cousin, this is what I like most about you, you always put things in the open, unlike other people who coerce and lure and hide it. ”

"I have the confidence to do this. Sylvia chuckled.

"I need time to think about it. Sophia said apologetically: "I'm not willing to give up the Chamber of Commerce like this." ”

"Honey, you can think about it slowly. Sylvia nodded, and said, "During your time in Randall, don't be surprised if Nicole has offended you." Victor was a beacon of progress for her, and the fact that Nicole often sneered at me was a laugh and cry. ”

"What is a beacon?" asked Sophia, curious.

Sylvia looked at her deeply and said, "The lighthouse that returns to the mortal world from the Elemental Sea is the way of knighthood. ”

"Do you think Nicole will become the Golden Knight?" Sophia was shocked and exclaimed, "She uses love as a beacon, how is this possible?"

"It's not love, it's protection. Sylvia shook her head and said: "Nicole was stimulated by Victor in the process of life and death trial, and took the protection of Victor as a belief, but she herself didn't realize this and simply thought it was love." ”

"The same goes for you!" Sylvia said, "Think about it, what are the beliefs you hold on to when facing the saber-toothed tiger?"

Sophia muttered, "I see, I'm going to protect my companions, protect my saber-toothed tiger merchants. So, I must not throw in the towel!"

"There is no way ahead, will you jump off the cliff with the saber-toothed tiger merchant group?" asked Sylvia faintly.

"No...... I can't do that. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Sophia took a deep breath and gasped, "Go back, find another way out, and turn the merchant group into a family." That's what you suggested, wasn't it?"

"Nicole's love, your saber-toothed tiger merchant group are all the appearance of protection, only by deeply understanding the truth, can you erect your own beacon and set foot in the pinnacle realm. Sylvia said, "When Caterina was snatched by me, she was looking for death and life, crying and making trouble, and in the end she didn't choose to protect the York family? ”

Sophia said with a complicated expression: "If Nicole really sets foot at the peak, she is also protecting the Randall family, are you really willing?"

"I respect the choice of every knight. Sylvia stood up and said calmly, "But if it conflicts with my guardian faith, I can only crush it, Nicole, and so do you." ”

Sophia raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about Victor?"

Sylvia smiled and said, "So I don't live up to him, and I don't live up to you." ”
