The size of the one-horned dream magic horse is better than the so-called "giant horse" in this era, that is, the shire horse that is still in the process of "cultivation", specially used to pull goods and carts, and the weight is measured in tons.

Such a behemoth, if it is strong enough, is definitely comparable to the existence of a Tiger tank on the battlefield.

Lothar rolled over and jumped on his horse and beckoned to Jeanne: "Come, let's try our riding skills." ”

Jeanne snorted, "Grape, it's time for this black-skinned foal to smell your ass." ”

Grape snorted excitedly at this strange creature.

The two chased each other around the manor.

The final test result is that the unicorn dream magic horse has better stamina, and its speed is on par with "Grape", but in terms of defense and combat effectiveness, it is far better than the sweaty BMW.

"That's nice, little one."

Jeanne whistled.

The rebellious grape looked at this "kind" with some anger, and was unconvinced, wanting to take advantage of Lothar's inattention, grab its neck and bite it twice, but immediately saw the sharp fangs in the grinning mouth of the unicorn dream demon horse.

Hell, this freak isn't a horse at all!

The grapes shook off their hooves and ran away with a smoky smoke, and this guy's character of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard can be regarded as the same lineage.

Jeanne reached out and touched the unicorn of the unicorn dream magic horse, and when she saw it trembling for a while, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Give it a name." ”

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Jeanne thought for a while, and made a serious suggestion: "Turnip, just call it turnip." ”

Lothar was silent.

I haven't ridden a witch now, so don't tarnish anyone's innocence out of thin air.

Jeanne wondered, "Doesn't it sound good?" It's really troublesome. ”

She thought for a while, and clapped her palms into fists: "It's called 'invincible', which means that we can win every war it participates in." ”

"Daddy Werner won't be happy."

Lothar raised her eyebrows, "invincible" was the mount of Arthas, the father-killing beast in her memory, and this name was not lucky at all: "The level of your name is really average." Prajna, what do you think it should be called? ”

Pranya said without changing his face: "It's called 'Eclipse'." ”

Jeanne wondered, "Is that a good name?" Black skin is the eclipse, is white skin the sun? ”

Anyway, it's better than you can achieve.

"That's it."

Lothar patted the eclipse on the head: "Come, spit fire, I'll try the power." ”

Eclipse paced back a step hesitantly, her eyelashes blinking, revealing a human, puzzled look.

"Don't worry, you won't hurt me."

Lothar, who has the Volcano King milestone, is almost completely immune to fire damage in the conventional sense, and the Unicorn Dream Demon Horse is only a four-star transcendent mount after all, and the possibility of injuring him is very small.

In Lothar's encouraging eyes, the eclipse snorted slightly, and two white smoke erupted from its nostrils, and tiny green flames disappeared after just a slight lick of Lothar's palm.

Lothar raised her palm helplessly and showed it to the eclipse.

"Look, unscathed."

Eclipse's eyes widened in surprise, then he paced back a few steps with some excitement and took a deep breath.

The green flames burst out, the output power is very stable, and the cost of mana is obviously not too high for the appearance of the eclipse - this is not a good thing, after all, he has a "winged knight helmet" that can make the mount infinitely energetic.

If Eclipse has an attack method with extremely high output power and can drain all his energy in an instant, it will be a perfect match for the "Winged Commander Helmet" and become a trump card in Lothar's hands.

Unfortunately, the eclipse is clearly not enough.

Lothar felt the temperature of the green flames spewed out by the eclipse, thoughtfully.

The power is similar to the fireball technique he uses under normal conditions, but the range is not as good as the fireball technique, which is enough to deal with ordinary enemies, and it is very problematic to deal with enemies who are slightly more on the stage.

However, the eclipse is only a horse, not a dragon, after all, and there is no way to expect it to be on its own.

It's not satisfactory.

…

In the Brachna Palace.

The empress listened to Anna's narration and couldn't help but be a little moved: "He really expressed his willingness to help the empire recover some of the territories of Asia Minor?" ”

"Of course, Lothar is actually the same as me, she is a person who doesn't like to owe favors."

Anna said helplessly: "It's a pity, the timing is not right." ”

"Indeed."

A wry smile appeared on Empress Lagaia's face.

Asia Minor, as the empire's horse breeding ground, the source of soldiers, and the natural barrier against the infidels, was of course of great significance to the empire, but it was a pity that the empire did not have the strength to act against the Normans in Sicily and the Turks in Asia Minor at the same time.

Moreover, the land of horse breeding, the source of soldiers, and the natural barrier could not hide the withering of the interior of Asia Minor, and many Greek nomads who had become Turkic were so brave and fierce that even the Turkic chieftains could not help it, not only could not provide taxes, but also a major threat to the stability of the region.

This means that even if the Empire were to regain Asia Minor now, it would be a low-quality asset with negative returns for the Empire for a long time.

Unlike Sicily, which is the main trade route of the Mediterranean, has a prosperous economy, is an important transit point on pilgrimage routes, and the island's fertile land and abundant products are the brightest pearls of the entire Mediterranean.

The main point of the current negotiation between the two great empires of the East and the West is, who will get the greater fruit in Sicily?

As for southern Italy, that is, Apuria, Capua, Calabria and other places, in comparison, it is a trivial.

But no matter what part of the Kingdom of Sicily it was, it was a well-deserved and excellent territory in this era.

Although the territory of the Kingdom of Sicily is not large, it is also a powerful country in the whole continent.

Anna snorted softly: "It's a pity, I really can't figure it out, Lothar can't be a devout believer in my opinion, he doesn't want to leave the fertile soil of Sicily, and always wants to go back to his own desert territory to do?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm worried about facing up to that ambitious Henry Caesar."

Henry Caesar refers to the emperor of the Germanic Empire, the father of Crown Prince Henry.

"Also, who made him a German, and the Habsburgs still have to beg for food under the emperor."

Anna has investigated Lothar's background, but she has always been skeptical, because in her eyes, Lothar is more like an old antique that has been sleeping for hundreds of years, and is currently in the recovery period, and does not look like a self-made young man.

How could a small Germanic nobleman rise to become a prince with extraordinary power on the current side in such a short period of time?

Although in the eyes of the Orientals, a lord with a few thousand soldiers and only 100,000 people is far from being a big man, but in this era, he is indeed the top magnates.

"Anna, have you been busy with the affairs of the association lately?"

"Busy, of course busy!"

Anna snorted: "Several of my apprentices complain to me every day, and their job is to listen to those fools every day, saying trivial things that have nothing to do with supernatural powers. ”

"Show me, the ugly witch in my neighbor has cursed my cow, so it doesn't produce milk."

"My hoe is gone, and some greedy wizard must have stolen it."

"My lord, that abominable and nasty neighbor of mine seduced my wife with demagogic spells."

"I'm not blaming them for being stupid, but these unfiltered things go directly to the guild, which really increases the workload of the apprentices I train," Anna learned. ”

"They have to sort out their books, transcribe scriptures, practice alchemy, spells, meditations, and distract themselves from these trivial tasks every day, and this is not going on."

Lagaia said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, apparently Marlos didn't follow my orders thoroughly, and I will tell him to recruit more literate scribes to sift through every reported rumor." ”

"Hmm."

Lagaia asked, "In short, the Empire's next focus will be on recovering the Sicilian Military Region, do you have the spare strength to assemble a new extraordinary army with your current potion reserves?" ”

Anna pondered for a while: "If it's just the lowest grade brute elixir, the reserve is not a problem. ”

"Then let's do it, the Normans in Sicily are not easy to deal with, if the empire sends troops this time, and loses troops again, we will lose face with our 'allies', and the distribution of the spoils will have an adverse effect on us."

Lagaia said seriously.

The empire has been suffering from internal and external troubles for a long time, and it is difficult to regain its vitality.
