Chapter 12: Receiving Reinforcements
In front of the castle, Su Luo finally saw reinforcements.
The reinforcements that arrived in advance were all knights, and there were about a hundred of them.
Although the number is not particularly large, these are all well-trained knights, and they are already a force to be reckoned with.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, on the orders of the Grand Duke, have come to protect your safety." The leading knight bowed down on one knee.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, we have prepared a banquet for you, please go and rest first." Su Luo said politely.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Valk saluted again.
Later, the knights of the realm led the knights down to rest, and Valk was welcomed into the castle.
On the way, Valk kept looking at the third prince in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt that this highness seemed to be different from the rumors.
But he didn't care, anyway, he was entrusted by the Grand Duke to protect His Highness, and when the battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Milan came to an end, he would leave with everyone.
Therefore, he only needs to ensure the safety of this highness and prevent his highness from falling into the struggle for the throne, and that will be enough.
Soon, the group entered the castle, accompanied by the chief knight and the clerk.
"Knight Valk, the security of the territory will trouble you in the future." Su Luo said politely, pondering the matter of asking the other party to help protect the magic crystal mine.
Valk stood up and bowed his hand, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely protect Your Highness's safety...... But the Grand Duke has orders, and we are only responsible for the safety of His Highness, and the safety of the territory is not my responsibility. ”
After hearing the words of the knight in front of him, the faces of everyone present changed slightly, and the clerk frowned, thinking, "What's the matter with the reinforcements sent by the Grand Duke?" Isn't it here to help His Highness fight for the throne? ”
Then, I saw Valk look at the chief knight, "Lawrnes, in the future, the safety of the castle will be handed over, and the security of the territory will be in charge of you, we will take care of our own affairs, no problem, right?" ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the third prince.
Su Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of his grandfather's explanation, knowing that these were indeed what his grandfather meant, but how could these reinforcements only stay in the castle, he also needed the other party's help to protect the magic crystal mine.
"Valk, I know what Grandpa means, and I can assure you that I don't have any idea of the throne."
Valker frowned slightly, he remembered that the other party had come to the rescue to fight for the throne.
"You don't seem to believe it?" Su Luo had a smile on his face, "If I want to say that I can't fight for the throne even if I want to, do you believe it?" ”
"Well, I'm not talking about ability, I'm talking about ...... I'm a mage myself! ”
At this moment, Valk was really stunned, the news he got showed that the third prince was obviously just an ordinary person, and his body was not even as good as an ordinary person.
"Well, mage, that's like that."
Without any hesitation, Su Luo used the Imperial Beast Summon, summoning Komatsu out and holding him in his arms.
No matter how unbelievable it was, Valk had to accept this reality, after all, there was no way to fake that magical magic, and the monster in front of him that looked very docile in the hands of the prince!
"So, I don't need your protection, after all...... My monster is stronger than you. ”
After hearing the third prince's last slightly mocking words, Valker suddenly calmed down, and his brows furrowed deeply, "Your Highness, I don't know what you mean. ”
"First of all, I won't fight, and I can't fight for the throne."
"Then, I asked you to come here, not to keep me safe, but to help me protect this territory."
Valk was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But the will of the Grand Duke ......"
"I know what Grandpa meant." Su Luo took out the handwritten letter with a calm face.
"Grandpa just told me not to compete for the throne, but he didn't want you to go against my other wills."
"Of course, you can also refuse, then please leave my territory with the knight now, I don't need a simple protector."
This time, Valk fell silent, and after a moment, he said coldly, "Your Highness, are you sure you can keep yourself safe?" ”
Looking at the faintly angry knight, Su Luo shrugged and said, "Perhaps, we can try to fight, you and my monster...... If you can't even defeat my monster, what reason do I have to believe that you can protect me, the great magician? ”
"Grand Magician...... Monster ......" Valker opened his mouth, looking at the third prince in front of him with some surprise, a little hard to believe the information he had received.
The Great Wizard is the same level as the Earth Knight, and due to the power and weirdness of magic, the Great Wizard is much more powerful than the Earth Knight of the same level.
"Let's go, let's go to the martial arts training ground now."
Su Luo didn't hesitate, and walked towards the outside of the castle with the chestnut squirrel in his arms - well, Komatsu's strength is at the level of an earth knight, and he can control Komatsu, so it shouldn't be a problem to say that he is a great magician, right?
Valker's face was cloudy, and he finally chose to follow, he was indeed a little curious about the strength of this highness.
"Valk, please don't be careless, Your Highness is far stronger than you think."
"You don't even need His Highness to take action personally, even if it's a monster, it's not something you can easily defeat."
Lawrence reminded softly, his gaze looking at the monster in His Highness's arms, thinking back to the last few battles, and his face showed amazement.
From the ordinary monsters at the beginning to the strength of the earth knight now, His Highness's enhanced magic is really too strong, and he is now a little skeptical that he, a senior earth knight, can stop the combination of His Highness and his monsters.
"That monster is that strong?" Valk was stunned for a moment, he recognized that it was an ordinary chestnut squirrel, although it was a monster, he was also a real earth knight!
However, he also knew Lawrence's character and strength, the chief knight who followed Her Royal Highness to the Mira Kingdom at the beginning, and his strength was a real senior earth knight, even if he was not far from the peak earth knight.
Soon, the group came to the martial arts training ground.
Squeak, squeak!
Komatsu twitters along the way, and in the face of unknown opponents, it is cowardly.
"Don't worry, your opponent is just an ordinary earth knight." Su Luo comforted the little one.
"According to Lawrnes's judgment, your strength has long been comparable to that of the Earth Knight, so this battle will also be your battle in the true sense of the word!"
"In addition, if you want to convince the other party and help us mine the magic crystal mine, it all depends on your performance, and when the time comes, I can continue to help you strengthen ...... if you get more magic crystals."
Hearing the magic crystal, Komatsu's eyes gradually became fierce, in order to add points, fight!
"Good, that's the momentum." Su Luo nodded in satisfaction and quickly came to the side of the battlefield.
And Valk was also fully armed at this time, putting on his knight armor, holding a thick sword, and the fighting energy on his body surged into the fighting energy shield of the Earth Knight's symbol, ready for battle.
"Valker, be careful." Su Luo said with a smile.
Valker's gaze fell on the harmless chestnut squirrel and nodded silently.
Squeak, squeak!
The magic on the chestnut squirrel's body surged, turning into impact energy and enveloping its whole body.
After seeing this, Valker clenched his long sword, but he did not rush to attack, but planned to test the opponent's strength first.
"Huh? Are you going to hard-wire?" Lawrence's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next moment, the chestnut squirrel in the field moved, and its speed was instantly increased to the limit, and the figure collided directly towards Valker.
In an instant, Valker only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and then he heard a clicking sound suddenly sounded, and then he felt a sharp pain on his body, and the figure couldn't help but fly upside down.
What happened?
His eyes looked at the sky, and he suddenly felt a little confused.
Rumble!
Then there was the sound of armor hitting the ground, and Valk's figure fell to the ground.
And just as he reacted slightly, he suddenly felt his body sink, and the figure of the chestnut squirrel appeared on him, and the glowing claws were against his neck.
"I ...... Lost? Valker opened his mouth, he knew that without the defense of the Douqi shield, it was absolutely impossible for his body to resist the direct attack of the monster at this time.
In the distance, Lawrence sighed, seeing this scene, and thought of the last time he had almost shattered his Douqi shield.
That blow impact move, coupled with the terrifying speed and power of the chestnut squirrel itself, hit it with all his strength, even if he, a veteran earth knight, didn't take it seriously, he might overturn.
Even, that time he almost overturned, if it weren't for the experience of the sudden explosion of chestnut squirrels' strength in the previous few times, he would have been up to deal with it.
"Well, you're careless." Su Luo also walked over at this time, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have lost so badly." ”
Squeak, squeak!
Komatsu jumped off the knight's body and raised his paws to indicate that even if the other party was not careless, he would still lose badly!
"Good, good, you've made a lot of progress." Su Luo smiled and reassured.
At this time, Valk also got up from the ground, he looked at the chestnut squirrel, and then at His Royal Highness the Prince, who had not yet made a move, and opened his mouth for a moment and did not know what to say.
It's true that he doesn't have the qualifications to protect the other party - Valker blushes a little when he thinks of his own words before.
Then, as if he had made some decision, he took a deep breath, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and gave a standard knightly salute, "Your Highness, Valk is willing to listen to you!" ”
