It's been too long since we've been paying attention to the Marquis of Delta, whose nominal husband hasn't been seen since he fled on the day of the Paddington Massacre, and even Baroque thought that Delta had died in the chaos of Padja's royal city.

In order to curry favor with Alvin, the third prince of Audria, Delta drugged his wife Celine and gave her to bully. Later, he was rescued by Baroque, who arrived in time, and killed Alvin by great coincidence. When Delta saw Alvin's body, he knew he couldn't stay in the Kingdom of Paddington. In order to save his life, he directly chose to disappear without a trace, abandoning his family and fiefdom mansion. His decisiveness allowed him to escape easily, and no one in the chaotic Paddington at that time paid attention to him, a small man.

However, Delta should not be underestimated, although he has a poor character, he has a very good business acumen. Although abandoning the family and most of its possessions, the Delta Family Chamber of Commerce still has a large caravan in the field. The caravan traded between the Landor steppes and the western countries of the Sauron continent, mainly on horses and furs. Because of the large number of horses that need to be purchased from the Lando grassland, the caravan usually carries a large amount of gold, and it is only natural that the Delta family needs to run a strong escort to protect the caravan.

When Delta fled Paddington, he didn't lose much except for the property and land he couldn't take with him. With that caravan, he could regain his footing in any country.

It's just that he offended one of the most powerful human empires on the continent of Sauron, which made him dare not swagger. Instead, he went incognito, and even the caravan changed its name. The cunning Delta has shown excellent business talent and good courage. He actually bought the property of a small nobleman in the territory of the Adria Empire as a residence. Started buying and selling.

The Landor Grassland belongs to another great human empire [Kaplin]. Kaplin is located to the east of the Adria Empire, and the two empires are balanced in power and are at peace with each other. But relations are also extraordinarily indifferent, and there are not even diplomatic relations. The Adria Empire owns the horses, and does not need to buy horses from the Landor grasslands. It's Delta's caravans, which usually trade Lando horses to the northwest or south. Although it was also profitable, it did not make him rich until the outbreak of civil strife in the Adria Empire............ The dividing line ............!

Old Emperor Anthony and Empress Josephine. In addition, the powerful Prime Minister Severus died strangely overnight. The whole empire shook, and the two princes turned their faces for the throne, and each led an army loyal to him to fight.

Fortunately, there were a few scuffles. There were no winners or losers in each other's heavy casualties, but Duron City was no longer the same, and neither Fronnaso nor Bukred wanted to completely destroy their future capital. It was because they agreed with each other. Each of them guards the half of the city they occupy. Only send troops to fight in the open field outside the city to fight the winner. In this way, strong cavalry undoubtedly becomes the key to determining victory or defeat. The all-cavalry corps [Crown Stag], which has been ignored by them, has become their reinforcements.

Roxana, the legion leader of the Crown Bucks, is a confidant of Prime Minister Severus, and Bukred is considered to have inherited the power of Prime Minister and Empress Josephine, so he naturally thinks that he can make Roxana loyal to him. Moreover, there were also subordinates of Severus who had volunteered to persuade Roxana to lead an army to help the second prince.

On the other side, Fronazso was not to be outdone, and he didn't know how to move the small family behind Roxana, and let the relatives of the Roxana family go to persuade him to take refuge instead of him. The two forces can be described as full of strange tricks. At the same time as the army confronted each other, they sent people to rush to the grassland of the horse farm. ――――Of course. They undoubtedly all suffered the same result. At that time, Roxana was fleeing from the grassland with the remnants of the army, hiding in a small town on the border to survive.

The three forces met one after another, and they were dumbfounded together, and suddenly realized that they were taken advantage of by the orcs to take away the source of the empire's mount [Horse Breeding Land], and this situation was a bit serious!

Most of the people who can be sent to serve as persuaders are flattering villains who see the wind and steer the rudder. The crown bucks were almost completely wiped out, and Roxana, who had become a lost dog, was naturally abandoned by them. They all left to reply to their masters. Leaving Roxana with anger on his face, he couldn't stop sneering in his heart -- two princes like straw bales, this general still doesn't look down on you!

Ignoring the two princes who were destined to continue the infighting, Roxana instead strengthened his mind and prepared to lead the only remaining 3,000 light horsemen in his hand to join the Holy See. But because there was no one in the Holy See who knew him well, he must have been insulted by others in his haste to go by, because while he was hesitating and troubled, a messenger of a certain saint came, and he was overjoyed............ The things that the Holy Maiden of Evangeline had done in the Holy See had long since reached the secular royal nobility, and Roxana was extremely impressed by this apparently ambitious Holy Maiden.

At this time, Evangeline did not have an army commander who could take charge of the army alone, and Roxana realized that if he took refuge and acted loyally, he would undoubtedly immediately become his confidant and obtain great rights that he could never have dreamed of - you must know that even if the Adria Empire is strong, it is only within an empire, and the Holy See of the Apocalypse has influence among the entire human race, even if it is just the strength of a saint, it is enough to compete with any powerful empire.

Of course, all this needs to be done on the basis of the development of the Holy Maiden's own strength, and isn't it to win over a general with excellent military ability to develop his power? .................. Dividing line ..................

Encountering Delta was a complete accident!

Evangeline originally took Princess Vitasia to a royal estate in Odria, planning to wait for the two princes to fight and defeat each other, and then come forward in the name of the Holy See to persuade them. The abilities of the two princes are limited...... To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the Holy Maiden, she is no different from a straw bale, and Evangeline is confident that it will not be difficult to use her ingenious methods to form her own [Holy Female Knights]. When the benefits are almost obtained, and the two princes are not of much value, they will introduce Princess Vitasia to the front desk. At that time, with the coercion of the Holy See, the cannibalism with the two princes was bound to cause huge casualties and losses to the surrounding civilians, causing the people to boil over the cause of public resentment, and imprisoning them or secretly causing an accidental death, in short, making Vitasia an empress, Evangeline, as the behind-the-scenes master, was able to obtain the resources of the entire empire and easily expand his legion power.

The death of her father and queen mother dealt a huge blow to Princess Vitasia, and in addition to the initial crying, she gradually became depressed and silent. Evangeline doesn't want to have problems with the best spokesperson in her hands, so she always stays by her side to comfort and enlighten. The charm and peaceful power of the saint gradually calmed Vitasia and made the poor princess regard her as her dearest.

On this day, the two walked out of the royal manor and prepared to go outside to the garden to relax. The manor was built on a hill that was not high, and when they looked into the distance, they suddenly saw a large cloud of smoke and dust rising from the sky, as if some army was marching.

Evangeline asked his squire, and a knight of the guard who knew the details replied, "This is not a reinforcement that has come to the aid of Fronnaço or Buclay. A few hundred miles to the west of the manor here is the station of the [Delong Caravan], and they mainly traffic horses from the Caprinlando's grassland, so these should be the reason why their caravan is driving a large number of horses to run, and it will soon pass!"

Evangeline's heart was pounding, she wanted to form her own legion, and she undoubtedly needed a large number of horse mounts. Is it possible to make the master of the Delong caravan submit to himself, so that there is a stable source of mounts?

Resolute, Evangeline made the decision immediately, and took Vitasia out of the garden and waited at a junction in front of the horse team. She had faith in herself, and as long as that caravan master wasn't an idiot, she would definitely make a wise choice!

It turns out that Delta is not only not an idiot, but also a shrewd businessman. This time, he personally led a caravan to buy nearly 5,000 horses from the Lando Grassland at one time, and spent almost all the working capital. But he was confident that he wouldn't lose money. -- Because the war between Fronnaso and Prince Bucred was escalating, what they most desperately needed was a horse that could equip the cavalry. Delta is ready to sell them twice the price that was originally a huge profit, anyway, even if the princes are angry in their hearts, they will definitely not rush or rob at this juncture, otherwise once the notoriety spreads, there will never be any caravans to trade with them. That would be tantamount to cutting off their source of supplies, and they would definitely be defeated.

In the midst of her dreams of making a fortune in war, Delta met the ............ of the Saint Evangeline at that intersection!

Not surprisingly, Delta made the right choice. Surrendered at the feet of Evangeline. After all, he was a nobleman, and he knew very well how much influence Her Highness had at this time, even if her strength was still very weak at this time, but wasn't this the best opportunity to take refuge? Because as long as the saint agrees, he no longer has to hide and hide his identity. Even the royal family of the Audria Empire did not dare to be angry or deal with him, otherwise it would be tantamount to provoking the venerable Holy Maiden.

Everyone was happy, Delta got the promise, and Evangeline also received 5,000 horses, and Delta will continue to lead the caravan to purchase horses, weapons, armor and other materials in the future, as if she is the logistics manager of Her Highness the Holy Maiden.
