Chapter 8: The Twin Knights

Rodron - Guardian of the country of knights, the country of swords and shields.

Rodron is a vassal of Bledsoe, located directly north of Bledsoe's territory. The process of its establishment is quite heroic, it was the first year of the Warring States Calendar, when Nomatik was first established, his ambition and strength were extremely inflated, and Bledsoe, as a neighbor of human strength, naturally became their first choice for the road of conquest.

At that time, Albert Lane, the third king of Bledsoe, the grandson of King Darren, made a bold decision. He foresaw that the mainland was about to enter a situation of chaos between various forces, so he did not send a large army to defend the realm adjacent to Nomatik.

Instead, he sent his mentor, Dominis Ajer, known as the "Silver Fox" and Imperial General, to garrison the border.

The old Dominis knew that it would be very difficult to defend the city with only the forces that the empire could mobilize at that time, so he went the opposite way, and led the first and third knights of the empire who were useless to defend the city to go on the expedition, and directly stepped on the grassland, piercing the hinterland of Nomatik like a sharp sword.

At that time, Nomatik had only just formed a federal system, and the gap between the original forces was not fully understood, and Nomatik's federal arbitration committee did not expect the Bledsoe to take the lead in attacking.

In the endless grassland, the mobility and high quality of the Bledsoe knights are best reflected, they roam around to sweep away all obstacles in front of them, gods and demons, no matter what they kill, and almost break up the Nomatic Federation again.

In the end, the Nomatic Federal Arbitration Council had to urgently sue for peace, arguing that the previous actions of the troops were just misunderstandings, and asked Bledsoe for compensation and apology, so that the red-eyed veteran general of the "Silver Fox" could be allowed to return.

This battle completely launched the name of the Bledsoe Knight, and also let the entire Navia continent see the strength of the Bledsoe Empire. This battle alone also left half of the two regiments of Bledsoe knights on the expedition forever in the land of Nomatic, and even Dominis's second son, Rodlon Ager, was buried in a foreign land in order to block the deadly arrow for his father.

After this victory, Dominis, in order to avoid future troubles, asked Albert Lane to remain stationed at the border and play a shocking role. In recognition of Dominis' contribution to the Empire, Albert assigned Vlado, Tanger, and Rosent, which had been handed over to Dominis, and allowed him to establish a vassal state of Bledsoe.

At that time, the surviving knights of the battle of Normadik became his first citizens. And in honor of his second son, who died in battle to protect himself, he named his country - Lodron.

In order to implement the indomitable attitude towards the steppe peoples and the concept of not blindly defending the city and being beaten, Dominis stipulated that only knights are recruited in Rodlonne, so if you see the soldiers patrolling in Rodlonne every day, you must also know that they are all real knights!

Since the first and third knights who went out at that time were the sword and shield knights most admired by Dominis, the junior knights of Rodron also inherited this tradition, and Rodron's national emblem was also in the shape of a sword and shield!

- "The Land of Swords and Shields - Rodron"

Seeing that the tip of the green-haired knight's sword is getting closer and closer, fortunately, Kay's strength has improved a lot during this time, and he just had a battle with the black elf not long ago, so he has a lot of experience in the swordsmanship of the agility department. At the beginning, when he almost suffered a loss because of carelessness, Kaye forcibly mobilized the yuan force in his body, and the white yuan force shrouded the cyan sword in an instant, and the blue light shone brightly, and with Kay's swing, he took off the sword and turned into an arc blade more than one meter long and slashed towards the two of them.

"Intermediate Knight!" the green-haired knight let out an exclamation, and then withdrew his sword to defend himself, and at the same time, the red-haired knight's sword body lit up with a touch of white vitality.

There was a "bang", a blasting sound caused by the collision of vitality, bursts of dust were raised, and the road surface was splashed out of the exploded gravel. The people around avoided it, and several of the nearest shops were implicated, and things were blown around.

"With such strength, why don't you go to serve in the army or simply become a mercenary, but go around swaggering?" said the red-haired knight after the dust cleared.

But before Kaye could reply, the green-haired knight shouted excitedly again. "Why talk so much nonsense with him, this vitality density is just a heroic lord. Take out real skills and get him seriously. ”

Just as the Green-Haired Knight was clamoring for a lesson to Kaye, there was a rush of footsteps outside the crowd. "That's them, arrest them. "If Kaye had paid attention, he would have noticed that it was the mercenary who had secretly followed him at the gate of the city before.

More than two dozen mercenaries with black and white badges on their backs and necklines arrived and surrounded Kaye and the two knights. It is a round badge, filled with black and white respectively, in the black half of the sky, engraved with a white angel wings, and in the white half of the sky, carved with a bone skeleton wings, the contrast of colors, the contrast of the pattern, it seems very individual, the visual impact is full, the gods and demons are together, life and death.

"Throw away your weapons and put your hands behind your back, and I, the captain of the Holy Demon Mercenary Regiment, George Lambert, announce that you will be arrested for the crimes of disturbing the peace, vandalism, and intentional wounding, and if you resist, you will be punished by one more degree. A strong man with a scar on his right eye at the forefront of the mercenaries shouted. Although there is a scar on his eye, he gives people the impression that it is more of a man's blood than the hideousness of a villain.

Seeing the comer, the red-haired and green-haired knights simply threw down their swords and raised their hands to show that they were harmless, and then the green-haired knights began to shout again. "Captain Lambert, we just took the mission, look at that kid, it's another one who came to pretend!. ”

Lambert squinted at Kaye, and the meaning in his eyes was "Boy, still with a weapon, trying to arrest?"

Although he was a little reluctant, the situation forced Kaye to put down Charlotte and raise his hands.

Lambert nodded in satisfaction, glaring at him impatiently, as if disgusted by the green-haired knight's noise. "Bring them all back to me. ”

"Eh, Captain Lambert, we're innocent! Why did you take us!" until the end, the green-haired knight who was dragged away still shouted unwillingly.

......

The prison in Vala is located in the southwest corner of the city, separated from the city's free flourishing. The prison is surrounded by a garrison camp of mercenaries to avoid any escapes and riots in the prison.

Inside the prison at this time, Kaye was looking at the scene in front of him with an expression of seeing knives in the sky - except for the red-haired and green-haired knights, not only the other three people in the same cell as them, but also the two adjacent cells were all blond-haired men. Every now and then, someone stood up and shouted at the guards.

"You foolish fellows, dare to offend Bledsoe's prince, wait until I inform my men to let you set foot on your Vala!"

"Hey, you're still pretending to be Bledsoe's prince? I'm the right one! You don't want to see that your hair is losing color, remember to find a better alchemist to buy potions next time." If it hadn't been for my 'breeze' being taken away by the guards, I would have been able to break through this prison in no time. ”

"Your 'breeze'? you're a liar, do you know the spell of breeze? do you know elven language? no, you're pretending! Come on, bring me my 'breeze', I'll open the eyes of these hillbillies to what is the real Bledsoe royal blood. ”

Whenever someone said that he was the real Prince Bledsoe, the other blonde men around him would jump up one by one and contradict each other with righteous words, and for a while, even Kaye wondered if he had many brothers, or if he was actually confused, but in fact they were the real princes.

Looking at Kaye's surprised eyes, the green-haired knight couldn't help but feel a little proud. "See, this kind of cleverness is not unique to you! Actually, you are quite professional, and the hair color seems to cost a lot of money, if you hadn't met my sharp-eyed Sain, maybe others would have been deceived by you. I'll tell you, man, do you know where your biggest flaw is? It's your weapon! You've got a gold rim around the elf's green leaf mark, and you're crazy about money?!" said the green-haired knight, shaking his head and hooking Kaye's shoulder, looking like he hated iron.

Kaye looked at him, and he was speechless for a while, not long ago, he was shouting that he was a liar and wanted to be arrested, and now he was imprisoned together and suddenly hooked up with himself, as if he had completely forgotten what happened before, and he didn't know who he was locked up here for. Kaye couldn't resist the green-haired knight's big grin.

However, through the other party's words and the surrounding situation, Kaye also roughly understood why the other party always called himself a liar - in Navia, except for the Bledsoe royal family and the army, the world only knew that the prince of Bledsoe had blonde hair, and nothing else was known about Kaye's appearance.

A few months earlier, after Kaye had successfully defeated Ira Young, Prince Bledsoe had sung the story of the Black Knight with a holy sword in his hand, which had been widely sung by bards. As the holy sword Charlotte itself, its length, width, thickness, engraved emblems, lines, words, etc. have long been known to the world, whether it is in the Navia Encyclopedia or in various weapons pedigrees, and as children's toys and even treasured imitations There are also many imitations.

Therefore, Kaye's conjecture is not wrong, during the time of his disappearance, news was sent from the palace of Bledsoe, and there have been many incidents of impersonating the missing prince in various places recently, so I ask all forces to be vigilant, and the real prince must be accompanied by a winged lion, otherwise they will be arrested together.
