290. Borrowed Soldier 3 - A Grand Welcome

Dressed in iron armor, tattooed with four-leaf clover, and silently reciting prayers in his mouth, his body is powerful and powerful, and his face is neat and clean.

"Church Samurai!"

Outside the church, someone in the crowd shouted as they watched.

This is the patron goddess glory, the glory of the church, the church warriors who defend every church, and the power of the armed forces that the church controls.

How can the Church of Hope, which has never sided in politics, not have the ability to protect itself?

"Huh, who's that young man?"

Someone noticed something unusual, at the front of these samurai, a young man in an ordinary mage's robe, his calm and serene appearance was in great contrast to the serious and proud samurai.

"Raise the flag!"

As the young man stepped out of the main entrance of the church, a samurai of higher status behind him shouted.

Clover's Church of Hope Holy Flag.

And also

Rose banner as bright red as blood.

"This is the banner of the Ross family!" the sharp-eyed man recognized, pointing to the young man who walked in front and said, "That's the Marquis Philip Ross, the heir of the Ross family." ”

In the midst of everyone's attention, Philip walked forward with his head held high, and behind him there were neatly stepped steps of church warriors pouring out of the doors of the Cathedral of the Goddess of Hope, like branches of a river, converging behind him, forming a mighty river that flowed endlessly, ready to attack any obstacle that dared to stand in their way.

With such a heavily armed army appearing on the streets of Wellington, it was only natural that someone quickly reported it to Abton, who was in charge of the capital's defense.

At first, Abton's face was still very serious and nervous. After hearing that it was Philip who was in the lead, a smile suddenly appeared on the head of the palace guard: "Okay, you just take care of them, I'll go and report this matter to Your Majesty." ”

"But, my lord, don't you need to send an army to intercept it?" asked his subordinate.

"Why do you want to intercept it?"

"My lord, they are so arrogant, more than a thousand people are walking around with weapons and simply don't take our guards seriously. ”

Abton glanced at his men: "Arrogant?"

"Hehe" sneered twice, and the chief guard continued: "Now, you have to be arrogant. Rest assured. This arrogance is not coming at us. Philip will help Her Royal Highness rule the country in the future, and how can he subdue the gods of Wellington without Liwei. ”

With that, Abton waved his men back and turned to the Emperor's bedchamber.

As soon as I walked into the spacious bedroom. Abton smelled a strong smell of medicine. Robert, who was shrouded in black robes, was boiling a small pot of herbs on a small stove in the emperor's bedroom. The black liquid is a little creepy at first glance.

Next to the stove was a fast-flowing hourglass, and every time the hourglass ran out, Robert scooped some liquid from the small pot. Put it in a silver cup, sprinkle it with a handful of powder, and serve it to the emperor lying on the hospital bed.

Under Caroline's service, Lawrence frowned and drank the black liquid in the silver cup, and quickly took another cup full of white water and drank it all in one gulp.

Wiping the water from the corner of his mouth, Lawrence lay down again, and said to his daughter, "If it weren't for talking, I'd have cut my tongue out, so I wouldn't have to taste it all the time." ”

Caroline smiled reluctantly, poured another glass of water for Lawrence from the kettle on the bedside table, and said softly, "Father, in order to make you get better faster, please bear with me." ”

Lawrence smiled and didn't speak, looked at the door, saw Abton coming, and said with a smile: "Ha, our loyal chief of guard is here, do you have any good news for me today?"

Abton stepped forward quickly and said respectfully to Lawrence, "Your Majesty, your recovery is much better than the previous few days, and it seems that you will recover soon." ”

Hearing Abton's words, Caroline turned her head, her face very ugly, but she didn't want to be seen.

Lawrence waved his hand and said, "Perhaps, Abton, is there something you have come for?"

Speaking of business, Abton said: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the soldiers who patrolled the streets just now, Philip brought out more than a thousand church warriors from the Hope Church, and they are walking in the streets. ”

Lawrence didn't show too much shock, and said lightly: "I, I already know about this matter, young man, you just have to be a little energetic and domineering, otherwise, how to help Caroline subdue the big tigers of Wellington in the future." ”

Abdon has a lot of followers, and Lawrence gets the news faster than himself, is this the credit of the mysterious intelligence organization "Phantom Man" in the hands of the royal family?

A few days ago, I made overtures to Philip, did His Majesty the Emperor also know the truth?

Abdon felt uneasy.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, Abton, are the 3,000 guards you allocated to Philip in place, and are there any new camps for the conquest army?"

"Ahh ”

Lawrence winked at Abton rather mysteriously, and said, "Dear Chief of the Guard, I suggest that you find a temporary camp for the Levies at once, otherwise you will find the Guards camp a little crowded." ”

——————

Crossing Wellington, and letting everyone see that he was leading an elite group of church warriors, Philip finally arrived at the Guards camp located outside the city.

Abton had been waiting for him, and said that he had re-prepared a new camp for Philip, and that the soldiers of the Guards and the more than a thousand priests of the Church had been allocated to him were stationed there.

Approaching Philip, Abton asked in a low voice: "I heard Your Majesty and His Highness say that you have the support of many powerful forces, and the Elven Kingdom and the Watson family will lend you troops to strengthen the conquest army?"

Philip smiled wryly and shook his head: "They are exalting me, in fact, I am worried about how to borrow troops from the Watson family!"

Katrina is her own woman, Grace is also her own woman, just gave Katrina such a big benefit to borrow troops from her, do you want to prepare a big benefit for Grace, the number of borrowed troops this time will not be small, will Adrian's cunning guy agree......

Everything is unknown!

In the evening, Grace did not return to the Blood Rose Manor as usual, which made Philip feel a little uneasy, could it be that Adrian wanted to knock himself out big, so he did not allow Grace to come back to report the news?

Depressed, Philip was alone on a three-metre-wide bed for the first time since returning to Wellington.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the bedroom in the morning, Philip had to get up with a sore head, and yesterday he sent someone to make an appointment with Adrian for today's placement, saying that he would not miss the appointment before nine o'clock in the morning.

Walking in front of the mirror, the faces reflected in it are still beautiful, of course, if you don't count the two dark circles.

"I'm at the mercy of others now!" Philip sighed heavily at the man in the mirror.

As long as you can borrow soldiers, even if you sell yourself, you can drop it.

The premise is that the buyers are all coquettish royal sisters like Grace.

In order to make his appearance better, Grist deliberately borrowed his father's carriage, which was so wide that it took up almost half the street was filled with intricate statues, and the coat of arms of the blood rose was carved into the door, as if it were really blooming.

The four pure black war horses pulled the carriage smoothly under the control of Ma Lun, and there were family guards on horseback guarding the front and back, and the straight posture looked like veterans on the battlefield.

This is the most official visit of the Ross family, and in order to show respect for the Ross family, Adrian brought the Dukes and above of the Watson family to greet him at the gate of the manor mansion early in the morning.

A series of blood clan dresses with gold and silver edges and red backgrounds set off Adrian's special spirit, and there was a trace of blood on his pale face, and his eyes were shining when he looked at Philip who pushed the car door.

A certain marquis chuckled in his heart, Philip has seen a lot of this kind of look, it is the eyes of corrupt officials and corrupt officials when they see the fat sheep, he is now going in with jewels, will he come out in just a pair of underwear later?

Glancing at Grace in the crowd, the duchess's expressionless face seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Could it be that Grace is all controlled by them?

Philip felt the urge to run away from each other.

Adrian held Philip in his somewhat dry hand and said with a smile, "It is a great honor for His Excellency the Marquis to come to the Watson family estate. ”

After speaking, Adrian took Philip's hand without saying a word and walked inside, "Your Excellency Marquis, I have prepared exquisite refreshments, and we will talk while eating." ”

As he passed by Grace, Philip looked at his mistress as if he were asking for help, but in exchange for the duchess's big hygienic eyes.

Fortunately, Grace is still the same Grace, and my life is not in danger.

Seeing Adrian's enthusiastic and somewhat excessive smile, Philip felt apprehensive in his heart.

Guide Philip into a large reception room, around a circle of tea seats, Philip sat alone in a semicircle where he was alone, and on the other side was full of the Grand Duke of the Watson family, and there were many duke-level blood clans who could only stand.

Rao is a young governor from a wealthy family like Philip, and he is also a little frightened when he sees such a big formation.

If at night, the top blood clan in this room is enough to conquer a city, who would have thought that these blood clans would all smile at themselves, intimate like a family.

The more they laughed, the more Philip thought that the Watson family was trying more of him, and the more cautious he became.

"The Watson family has been a long-term partner of my Ross family, and with the joint efforts of the older generation, the Watson family and the Ross family have a good traditional friendship ......"

Philip spoke the right nonsense word by word, for fear of being caught by the cunning Adrian. (To be continued......)
