Volume 2 The Manifestation of the Dragon's Power Chapter 52 The King's Uninvited
"Well, okay, you're a smart guy, you don't have to point it out. I have to say, Drassell, you're ...... Incredible, that's all I can think of to describe you. ”
"Brother Halan, by the way, the surrendered enemy troops in the castle, you see, can you leave a prisoner for me? The guard who had dueled me before, I admired him. ”
"Heh, the appreciation is fake, it's real to drag it back and report to the king, right? I can give it to you, but you have to remember that when you debrief, ......"
Without waiting for Count Harlan to finish, Draxle replied first:
"I understand, when I debriefed, I would say that I was ambushed by Aggie the Brave on the way, and in the end I defeated his troops, and that you were the only one who captured Fort Gili. The two of us fought separately. ”
At this time, Count Harlan was very satisfied with what he heard, nodded and said, "It seems that I have been too worried, and I really don't need to understand the words, you can go and take this captive." ”
"Captain Bo, go ahead. Safiya and I will gather our troops now and return home, and you will take the captives and follow us. ”
"Yes, my master." After receiving the order, the prison warden, Polcha, quickly went to carry it out.
"Then Brother Harlan, goodbye, I wish you all the best."
"Goodbye, Draxle." Although he lost two siege equipment catapults, Count Harlan was also considered a general, hugged Draxel, and began to go about his own business.
Soon, Draxle led his troops back. On the way back, Safiya asked, "Baron, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Bring the captives to the king, and then we'll go back to Uxhall. I don't want to get too involved in the war with the Nord Kingdom, after all, now that the war has been won, we don't have any extra soldiers to defend it. ”
"Well, I'm tired from this long journey. Our drinking water and food are about to bottom out, so it's time to go back early. ”
"Well, that's mostly because Wren is too good to eat."
In the sky, the flying dragon Wren's ears are extremely sharp, and it can hear this sentence clearly.
"Huh."
[Baron, your liver looks delicious, maybe I ate you, and we will have enough food.] 】
"Hey, I treat you as a friend, you take me for dinner, do you think it's appropriate?"
"Huh."
[After eating you, this world will be much cleaner, I am thinking about the tranquility of this continent. 】
While there was talking and laughing, the prison warden Polcha also hurried over, but what was surprising was that in addition to capturing the guard as a prisoner, he actually caught the golden rooster of the brave Aji by the way!
This golden rooster looks very similar to Arthur's, isn't it beautiful to send it over to be a favor?
"Oh, a great achievement, Captain Bo, yes, you did a good job, I rewarded you with the 500 ransom that the brave Aji gave me."
"Thank you, my noble master." Polcha, the prison warden, took the bounty and was happy.
Next, Draxle arranged:
"That Ming Tsai, you and the remaining 5th-order Swadia Iron Knights, let's go to Arthur's fiefdom Mountain Wood Fort again, and bring this golden rooster to him."
"Obey the order, and the task will be completed." Ming Tsai and Liang Tsai carefully hugged the golden rooster and led the team to turn around and rush to Arthur's fiefdom of Mountain Wood Fort.
At this time, the warden of the prison reported again: "By the way, Baron, I was in Count Harlan just now, and I heard that the king is marching in the direction of Uxhall, maybe we can meet the king if we go back directly." ”
The news made Draxel frown, ponder, and after a long time he asked:
"Oh? This is a good thing, and it saves us a lot of travel and time, but what is the king doing with me? ”
For a while, no one could answer this tricky question, and Draxel couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the wealthy merchant Manid was by his side at the moment, maybe he could think of the reason.
For Drassel did not now understand why the king was marching on his town, Uxhall.
For now, we can only hurry up and hurry back to the town of Uxhall to think about it in the long run.
Time flies, and five days later, Drassel and his party returned safely to Uxhall.
This time Draxle was very happy, he did not lose a single soldier on this trip, which is too rare.
Just as they returned to the hall of lords in Uxhall, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, unexpectedly, the king of Swadia, Haraus X, had already arrived here and was waiting for his return in the hall of lords.
"Your Majesty, your presence is a source of great trepidation to me." Seeing this, Draxel hurriedly stepped forward and half-knelt on the ground to say hello first.
King Haraus X waved his hand slightly, and said, "It's okay, get up, Drassell, look at your smiling face and the proud look of the spring breeze, have you won the battle?" ”
"Yes, I defeated the brave Aji of the Nord Kingdom, and beheaded the other party, and at the same time captured his cronies, and I am about to come back to report to you."
After Draxel finished speaking, the prison warden Porcha on the side also knew each other very well, and hurriedly escorted the prisoner up.
"Well, yes, I'll take the captive. Also, I've heard that you met Earl Harlan on the road, is there such a thing? ”
"Yes. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it for you, and capture the fiefdom of Aggie the Brave and the village of Gili, but by the time I went, Count Harun had already led his army to capture it. ”
"Well, your answer is exactly the same as the description in the war report I received from Count Harlan, it seems that you two have prepared your words in advance, haha."
Hearing the king's words, Draxle suddenly sweated profusely and was shocked! It's over, I have broken the great commandment! The king must have feared and hated the lords the most for forming gangs and cooperating with each other.
If most of the lords did that, what would happen if the lords combined to rebel? What if one day he will not submit to the king's arrangement?
On the contrary, if he and Count Harlan had just gotten dog and slandered each other, it would make the king feel that the two of them could be better managed and restrained by himself.
At this moment, Drasel felt that he was a little intimate, although he had made a lot of progress in his bravery and strategy in fighting, but when it came to politics, he was still in the stage of a blank sheet of paper and could not do anything.
The baron's panic and bewilderment were fully visible to the king, and this real expression feedback made the old King Haraus X understand everything in an instant.
"Drasel, I have to admit that when I first appointed you as the new lord of Uxhall, I didn't think very highly of you, you were indeed very immature and not skilled enough at that time."
