Chapter 39: Grizzly Lord (Part II)

The roar of the wolf was heard in the ears, and they gathered around, baring their sharp fangs and spitting warm breath from their nostrils.

However, this feeling is too familiar to Rod, in Black Hammer Castle, he mingles with the white bear Ursock every day, and the breath that comes out of the giant bear's mouth is more bloody and warm than this, hundreds of days and nights with the beast, making Rod have no feeling for the beast, and seeing these domesticated wolves is more like seeing a group of well-behaved dogs......

In front of him, Benedict, the lord of Grizzly Castle, showed a smirk of satisfaction, he seemed to be waiting for the persuaders to kneel and beg for mercy, waiting for Rhodes to be besieged by wolves for a while, screaming and screaming...... However, I saw that a few wolves lost their original wolf nature the moment they surrounded them......

I don't know what kind of means this lord from the north used, but I saw a few fierce wolves sit down obediently the moment they touched Rod, and the fierce blood-red eyes were replaced by peaceful and friendly eyes......

Using the animal taming techniques taught by Yeskovich, Rhodes easily controlled the wolves, caressing them from time to time, and sparing their bellies with his fingers from time to time...... Even the animal trainers on the side were dumbfounded, they risked their lives to train these wild wolves, and it took countless days and nights to gain the trust of the wolves, and the stranger in front of him actually trained the wolves in a matter of minutes. It's like he's their own father......

Eventually, Benedict couldn't take it anymore, and he coughed twice and motioned for the trainer to drag his unruly wolf cubs away, he had something to say to the intruder.

Several wolf warriors were reluctantly dragged away from Rod, and only then did Benedict clear his throat and say in his usual volumeβ€”

"Tell me, what benefits the Ice Queen has given you, and you're the first to be in my castle unaffected by wolves. ”

I have to say that this Grizzly Fort Lord is very honest and daring. Unlike other noble lords, they are cunning and contrived, one thing in front of people and one thing in the back. Benedict dared to let the wolf go, but at the same time he dared to admit that he was vile and unjust. It's not fair to negotiate with a frightened person. If it weren't for the special situation, Rhodes would really want to make friends with this southern lord.

"No, she didn't promise me any favors, that's what a courtier should do. ”

Rod replied aloud. It wasn't what he was saying, but Rod had to say it anyway, just in case. It was well known that Benedict was against the Queen, otherwise he would not have refused to send troops and closed the gates. But Rhodes couldn't guarantee that there would be no Queen's henchmen or agents in the castle, after all, Kislev's secret police were a must. They are pervasive, like those filthy rats in the sewers, always secretly watching you from some dark corner. Perhaps even Benedict himself didn't know that there was the Ice Queen.

So, Rhodes had to be careful when he spoke. What he said is also true, the ambush in the Misty Forest has not yet received any rewards from the Queen, which can be understood as the Ice Queen is still on the way, and she will not be promoted or rewarded until she arrives at the front line in person. But at the moment, it really hasn't ......

"Should you be a courtier? no, you shouldn't. I don't think this is very deserved, Caterina has never been a person who rewards merit, she will only use nepotism, whoever is loyal to her, who she will favor, if those dogs in the palace can do things, I guess she will promote the dog cub to be a minister. Is such a queen worthy of your allegiance?"

Benedict spoke very directly, but unfortunately there was no way out for the upright in this era...... If the kingdom is controlled by a sinister man......

"Whoever is the queen, she is worthy of our allegiance. ”

After Rod finished speaking, Benedict immediately sneered-

"Then the conversation between us can be over, we have different views, and we have different principles, why waste everyone's time here, I see that you are also a warrior, a warrior should not die in a gloomy castle, you can go. Tell your Majesty that Grizzly Bear will not compromise, and although she has sent men to attack it, the castle has not fallen since it was founded. ”

Benedict's tone was very tough, but Rhodes was neither humble nor arrogant.

"So you still support the Erengrad rebellion?"

He asked.

"Support doesn't count, at least the Noble Alliance is hope. ”

The Grizzly Lord shouted.

"No, they're not hopeful. On the contrary, one Errengrad alone cannot compete with the whole of Kislev. No matter how you deny it, the main legions of the kingdom have yet to fight the rebels. "First Reading Network

Rod responded, calm written on his face.

"So what? The people of Kislev will rebel against Katarina, that's what the people want. ”

Benedict reiterated his position.

"What is the will of the people, I will not fight with you for the time being, I am just an objective analysis, once Kislev's elite army meets the rebels of Erengrad, what will happen?"

Rhodes asked rhetorically.

"Not necessarily, we're not in it. ”

"You don't need to be in it to know the result, the noble alliance of Erengrad hired a large number of professional mercenaries, as well as the defenders in the city who had already rebelled, plus the crazy mob, the three military forces together, maybe they can fight with the main force of the Ice Queen, but no matter what the outcome, the losses on both sides are heavy, this is an internal strife, either Kislev's main army slaughtered the mercenaries and mobs of Erengrad, or the two sides are evenly matched, and finally the battle is broken. However, Lord Lord, you must know that this war is not just a civil war in Kislev, but also a third party's forces. ”

Rod exclaimed, and Benedict on the throne could be seen with a twisted expression.

"Where did the third party come from?"

He asked.

"Have you forgotten the cause and origin of the Erlengrad rebellion?"

Rhodes asked rhetorically.

The Grizzly Lord looked thoughtfully at Rhodes in the center of the hall, he didn't speak, and Rhodes broke the silence again.

"Vampires. Yes, the cause of the Erlengrad rebellion was that vampires wreaked havoc in the city, and even the defenders and police forces were helpless against them, and finally evolved into vampires attacking the police and army. According to the nobles of Errengrad, in the end, it was they who hired mercenaries to suppress it, and they barely managed to stifle the vampire turmoil. Rod swallowed and continued, "What I want to say is that it's just suppression, not extermination......

Benedict stared at Rhodes under the throne, as if he knew what the northern envoy wanted to say, but he still did not speak, his eyes were sharp.

"Imagine hundreds or thousands of vampires sitting underground, in some corner of this kingdom, watching our own people kill each other, and only show up when Kislev's main army and rebels are tired of killing each other and losing each other's heavy losses. You should know that vampires have a terrifying ability - to resurrect the dead. That is, to create an army of the undead. ”

Rod said, observing Benedict's face. But the other party was still motionless, maybe the grizzly lord listened in his heart, but after all, he was a lord of one side, and any emotions would not be so easy to show.

"The battlefield is littered with corpses, and both sides don't have the time and effort to deal with them, so you can imagine what a horrible scene it would be if vampires appeared on a large scale. The dead come back to life, with a puppet-like stiff body, and slash the butcher's knife at their former companions, and by that time, Kislev will no longer rule over the Ice Queen, nor will the nobles of Erlengrad rule, but a group of bloodthirsty monsters will rule over us. ”

Rod said, taking another step closer, and they were almost face to face. However, the Grizzly Lord did not let the guards stop Rhodes' actions, as he believed that the emissary in front of him was not a sinister assassin. He could see that from the gaze of the northern lord, he read a feeling of sympathy.

But he is still unwilling to compromise, he has refused the queen's request for so long, the Grizzly Bear Fort is strong and strong, and the food is abundant, can it be shaken by just a few words from this outsider?

Bells, bells, bells......

Just as Benedict was about to give up his mind to reject Rhodes, the alarm bell of the enemy invasion sounded on the highest tower of the castle......
