The twilight sun was hidden from the earth, and the torches were raised.

The wind in the valley is getting colder.

The women carefully hid in the inner hall.

This celebration could have diluted some of the pain caused by the last war, but in the blink of an eye, it became a battlefield again.

A woman with a husband participating in the confrontation carefully holds the small wooden cross around her neck and prays incessantly.

The rest is a greeting between men.

Desley roared, and some of his men with shortbows aimed their arrows at the Franks.

"If we get cold arrows, let's see whose arrows are faster."

The mercenary and soldier taught Desley that when there are fewer people than the enemy, you have to let the enemy know that when you lose a piece of meat, the enemy will also shed his skin.

So that they will not dare to act rashly.

"You Southerners!"

Two of Guntran's knightly friends, seeing that they were being taken as prey, said the most cruel words, and hid behind the servants.

The man's French, Desley ignored.

In the end, Bergman couldn't stand it anymore, and the injured sister, the marry-robbing Guresi, and the sudden Teutonic warrior.

He first looked at Grusi, "I want to say something. ”

Glossy looked at Gana, and then said to Bergman, "According to the law of accidents, although we have not yet been blessed by the priest of the mountain, she is already mine!"

"Phew." Duren took a sip, "This is the tradition brought by the Vikings during the 'Year of Northern Fury', in the north, this is called the 'Law of Grace', which allows the parties to contribute money in exchange, and cannot be forcibly bought." ”

Simon also interjected, "This young lady is already the fiancée of our Highness, and according to the decree of the Duchy of Venice, she is already one of us. ”

As for whether it is or not? That is up to His Highness Bran, Simon just wants to establish more stealing places.

For hundreds of years, for the mountain owner, who lived by his own mountain method, a foreigner, stepping on the Alps, said that he would obey the decree of Venice, which had been dead for a long time.

It's good that the mountain people don't understand, and the mountain owners feel disgusted.

Desley suddenly thought of something and asked coldly, "Your Highness has sent three escorts to protect this young lady. One fell into the valley and died, one reported down the mountain, and the other one?"

No one responded, and Gana on the ground suddenly pointed at Guresi, "He killed His Highness's servant!"

Gana hated him.

Fearing a riot by Desley, Bergman stepped forward and intervened between the two.

"Enough is enough, whether it is the law of accident or the law of gratitude, let's go in and talk, we are all friends of the valley, I will treat you well."

The Zurich mercenaries united by the mountain lords are all distributed in different valleys to defend.

Although not all of them came, there were nearly 300 soldiers.

But when it comes to fighting, there are some people who won't do it.

The Franks were a great power, but they had not operated the valley for hundreds of years, and the Italians, like neighbors, came to greet them every day.

Give them raw materials, and the food they get back is obvious to all, and it completely falls to the Franks, who also have scruples in their hearts.

At this time, a subordinate who had been cultivated by Guresi was indignant and secretly shot an arrow in the corner.

Just shot and stood in the hip of Simon, who was standing at the front.

Simon squats down in pain!

Desley's bow-bearers also shot an arrow directly at the Franks with their colors.

If this arrow is avoided, shoot another arrow.

The scene was chaotic.

Before it was completely dark, Dursley drew his cutlass and followed Paulalin.

At this time, the daggers brought by Desley's men also came in handy, and when a few people came into contact with the enemy, they were directly thrown out, destroying the enemy's gaze and seizing this momentary opportunity.

"Stop! Otherwise, they will all be considered rebels!"

After several valley lords retreated to a safe area, they put the people they brought in front of them to protect themselves, and re-erected the bonfires on the walls of the light, lighting as many fires as they could.

When the two sides separated, more than 20 people fell to the ground.

Seven people fell on Desley's side, and fourteen people fell on the other side.

In total, more than a dozen people had wounds of various sizes.

"The Charmans, what do you think this is for? Hurt people at will. A mountain lord pointed to the ground and cursed.

And Qiao Tan, who was also accidentally wearing colors on his face, was angry and shot back, "They are my guests, Gu Ruixi's subordinates suddenly released cold arrows, this is an insult to me, I request to convene a meeting of the mountain lords to discuss this matter." ”

Seeing that there was no mountain lord to respond to him, Qiao Tan shouted, "I want to hold a meeting, otherwise I will withdraw from the alliance." ”

In this case, it can't be good, and the bigger he wants to get it, the better.

As soon as the situation was not right, he took his men to the peninsula to serve as mercenaries.

Annoyed himself, Lao Tzu also became a robber to rob the valley.

Die here, sooner or later, let the mermaid flesh.

In the end, the mountain lords exchanged heads and ears, and after reaching a consensus, they first said to Durham, "This is your family matter, but it is also related to the official affairs in the mountain, we suggest that the public and private merger, stop the marriage for a few days, and wait until the meeting is completed." ”

This is a valid reason that everyone cannot refuse, according to the meeting of the mountain lords, once there is a major event that concerns the stability of the valley, all celebrations are stopped, and now it is related to the future development of the valley, so it is stopped.

Gana was picked up by Bergman's maids.

He was carefully helped away.

On this night, all the valleys did not dare to let people in easily, even those who were outside their own valleys.

But no one noticed that after Duren exchanged words with Polarin, as well as Desley and Qiao Tan, the first two suddenly brought dry food and water with them, as well as a close confidant of Qiao Tan.

The three of them disappeared into the night.

……

After returning to the safe and warm valley.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

The fire in the house dissipated the cold.

Food is served.

While Qiao Tan was eating, he gathered all his subordinates, and secretly sent people to find some mountain masters who were as weak as himself.

Strive for support at tomorrow morning's meeting.

When Gana left Grusi, she had forgotten the pain in her hand, even if it would give her a deep scar on her palm.

He didn't go back to Piri Hill, she followed the people of Desley.

Everyone stopped at a valley where they had a relationship with Qiao Tan and rested for the night.

"Is Your Highness coming to see me soon?"

"Is Your Highness okay?"

"I don't have anyone good, I've been waiting for Your Highness!"

She couldn't help but speak, but Dursley didn't reply, just advised her to rest.

As Dursley was on his way with Simon, he heard Jotan say that some Franks had come from the valley.

They were debating whether or not to open the trade route to the Teutonic Mission, which was a big deal.

So they have to save people, but they also have to make a little noise.

Gana couldn't sleep, thinking about the good ...... with Bran that night

Simon's buttocks went down the arrow when the dressing was painful and greeted Gressy dozens of times.

Bergman was so worried that he returned to his own Mount Peree overnight.

Tomorrow's meeting, he's going to take more people with him.

And Glossy, who had lost his wife, said to the Frankish knights, "Go back to the Duke of Lyon at once, and ask him to send troops to pacify these disobedient mountain lords in the valley, and hang Desley and the others." ”

From the exit of the snow-capped mountain to the Dukedom of Lyon, even if the duke agreed, it would cost a lot of money to gather troops and horses to walk the mountain road, and it was already a very high number to be able to dispatch two or three thousand people at a time.

And the duke's account is also shrewd.

If you rashly dispatch a few thousand people, if the emperor finds fault, you will be attacked on both sides.

Knowing the problem between the Duke and the Emperor, Guntrand just said, "Don't worry. Most of the mountain lords still support you, and you tell them that in the future, the duke's domain can shelter them, we are outsiders, and we cannot participate in the mountain lords' meeting, and you must find a way to dominate the wind of the meeting tomorrow morning.

You have also seen the attitude of this group of Italians today, so rude, you just need to grasp the proportions of your words and let the mountain lords support you.

After that, don't let them go down the mountain, use your mountain soldiers to surround them all, and then go to the valley and capture that Bran. ”

"Good!"

This night was very painful for everyone

When you gaze at time, it is always slow and grinding, and when you ignore it, it leaves at an unimaginable speed, unreachable.

In the morning of the valley, a confused white mist was emitted, and slowly, a blazing sun appeared above the valley.

The light shines through the white mist, forming several colors.

The leaves were covered with drops of dew.

Finally the fog receded, the beads melted, and the animals in the mountains and forests began to go out, and the fresh air penetrated their throats.

Everyone is ready to battle it out at today's meeting of the mountain lords.

When the sun shines brighter.

Gunterran and his two companions got up from the bed of the mountain maiden.

The warm feeling made him a little sick to the bed.

But he still had something to wait, and he called out to the mountain girl to help him fetch water.

"Your Excellency, will you take me to the Franks? I've heard that there is a great church in Paris, and it's full of paintings!"

"It's Notre Dame, and it was in that place that I was honored by His Highness when I became a knight." Guntran patted the mountain maiden in the face.

This mountain girl is very young, just over ten years old.

His skin was slippery, and he couldn't help but touch it again.

He has a little lover in a few words.

But this is just a random play.

"I'll take you there, you serve me well."

The girl likes to listen, so he will say a few more words.

The girl had a sweet dream all night and went to fetch water obediently.

Guntrand changed into a knight's robe, looked at the bronze mirror, saw his face in the water, and shaved off the beard that had grown a little, and was very satisfied.

When he walked out of the room, Glossy had already set off.

I had to go to another hill to start a meeting.

A few Franks walked around the valley square, talking about yesterday's events.

"Yesterday's Viking (Bolarin) is really powerful, you can see the speed of his sword, each sword is linked to the footwork under his feet, and he can't be agile."

"And that yellow-skinned scimitar warrior, I heard that he is the leader of their mercenaries, that brute force, it is indeed terrifying."

When you wake up, you can already objectively evaluate the enemy.

"You say, that Viking and that Hugo. Russell, who's better?"

Speaking of the Thunder Corps in the country, Guntron was a Viking who was very favored by the emperor in recent years.

"Thunder Bear, wasn't he sent by His Majesty to support the war in the North?"

"That's right, that's why the Duke thought that during this time, His Majesty didn't have so much energy to expand our power outward. Otherwise, once Your Majesty wins the war in the north, it will be about us. ”

The three of Gontrand have been retainers of the Duke of Lyon for generations.

The duke is their sovereign, the master of his fiefdom.

When they talked about Hyderian, although they had respect for him, they didn't have much turmoil in their hearts about whether the Franks could win the war in the north.

After the three of them finished their walk and breakfast, they decided to hunt two prey in the valley near the bridge to relieve their boredom.

Just as the three of them were carrying bows and preparing to shoot at the first rabbit prey, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the woods.

He stayed in the woods all night, intending to sneak into the castle, but never had a chance.

Earlier, he had let Gurrisy go (with too many people).

But at the moment there are only a few Franks.

Polarin wielded a Bot sword and with almost ghostly speed, when a Frankish knight shot his prey and happily stepped forward to capture it.

Polarin emerged from the forest and stepped on the knight's shadow.

At the knight's hands, a reverse slash.

The rider's left fingers are left with the thumb and the remaining four fingers separated.

The pain followed the breath, almost at the same time.

Bollarin added another sword, he lowered his body, and then stabbed with a blow.

The sharp Bot sword passed through the knight.

The Frankish man fell with a bang.

The rabbit, whose hand was out of breath, also slowly let go.

Polarin stepped on his shadow, "When you die, you take nothing with you but your shadow." ”

As a guide left by Ri Qiao Tan, this man came out of the woods.

And Durham.

The two looked at Bolarin, one gave a thumbs up, and the other said in fear, "Didn't the mountain master say that he could only be captured alive?" You killed the Franks, oh my God, what should I do!"

Durham said, "He is a human being, not a sheep, how to catch it?"

Duren also had a small crossbow in his hand.

Then, as Durham and his guide took the lead, Bolarin slashed two more Frank henchmen.

and slowly approached Guntrand's side, but was also discovered.

Of the men brought by Guntrand's side, three died, five remained in the hillfort, and five in the woods plus himself.

There was only one person in Polarin.

"You break the agreement!" Gunterrand looked at the blood on Both's sword and guessed that the exclamation just now was made by his companion.

"Put down your weapons and come with me, or I'll bully you too much."

Polarin was rampant.

"I'll let you see the first swordsman of Lyon......"

Then Guntran's men divided into many directions and formed a circle around Bolarin.

Lyon's swordsmanship, to bully more and less.

But when everyone's attention was on Polarin.

A cold arrow burst through Guntran's waist, and the hand he held the sword slowly lowered with a hideous expression.

Durham stepped out from behind the woods with a small crossbow in his hand.

As soon as Guntrand fell, Bolarin slashed directly with his fast sword.

"Remember, focus on the other person's eyes when you kill, and one day you can read everything from the other person's eyes......"

The words of the Dawn Excalibur, Bolarin remembered, read the thought of fear in the eyes of the Franks.

In his life, he met a master who had a good relationship, and at present, he only had the eyes of Dawn Excalibur and Bran, and his momentum was powerless.

Bolarin's body was coordinated, and his sword was fast and heavy, and his sword was aimed at the head of a certain servant.

When his sword slashes through, it's like cutting a melon, with a click!

The head of the servant fell on the dirt and was stained with mud.

The killing switch is turned on, and the birds in the woods are watching from the trees.

The Viking qualities in Paulalin's body were completely opened......

……

"Add me some sugar."

In the quiet village of the valley, Bran stopped for another day, and in front of him were the envoys of the two counts and the other two counts.

One of the envoys enjoyed drinking the tea leaves that Bran had brought with him, and sharing his wood frankincense.

After Bran's body was tempered and turned into a black-haired purple copper pupil, he no longer needed this spice because of the poisoning of his childhood, but he still liked it very much when he ate this thing and stuttered fragrantly, and he would bring some with him.

Bran sat in the chair brought by the mountain people, looking at the mountains

At this glance, you can only see the snow at the highest point of the mountain, and some birds fly past.

He looked at a white eagle, spreading its wings, and flew towards the sky until it disappeared into the mountains.

"Your Highness, this thing is so delicious to drink with tea, I have never enjoyed such a great taste in my life, my tongue is opened, can you give me some more?"

One of the envoys couldn't put it down, and Bran responded, "Do you know how much this cup of tea will cost, from the harvest to the harvest, and then transported from the south to the guests?"

This mouthful of wood frankincense has to enter the peninsula from the small islands of the Aegean Sea, through the East China Sea Kaido, through the fjords, etc., do you know how many bottles of wine can be exchanged for a pack?

Go to sea, pass customs, enter the port, enter the mountain...... There are too many procedures and it is too slow.

As long as the alliance goes smoothly and the alliance is built, under the new system, there will be an endless supply of goods and food on your closet and your dining table. ”

Although the envoy wanted to respond to these paintings, after all, the Count gave himself the authority to listen and ask more without promise.

Traitors, wrongdoers, stubborns.

Except for it, one by one......

Bran then let the messenger enjoy the wood frankincense and hot tea, then put down the teacup and looked into the distance, "You will accept my offer." ”
