Chapter 46: The Battle of Iron Wing Fort (I)

On October 27, 929 in the Randall new calendar, in a tight period of three months, the royalists led by the princess successfully recaptured most of the central and eastern parts of the kingdom with the help of teleportation and the colossus.

Until then, however, they will face the Britt family's territory, the Iron Wing Castle, where the Iron Wing Knights, led by the Duke of Arman......

At this time, everyone was gathering in the conference hall of Fareen Castle to discuss how to take the fortress.

"Leona, I suggest you don't have to participate in this battle. ”

Isabella said at the beginning.

"Yes, I see. ”

The knight girl nodded, she knew that the princess was for her good, even if the betrayal was now a fact, if she could, she didn't want to face her former savior on the battlefield.

"As for Mr. Arman's question, Isha and I have already discussed it, there are no outsiders here at the moment, Isha ......"

Leah knew the place of Duke Arman in the heart of the knight girl, even if she didn't think about friendship, just for Leona to stand by their side resolutely this time, little Lori also wanted to compensate her for something.

"Yes, I see. ”

The princess nodded, and then said:

"Regarding the disposition of the Britt family, we are fortunate to have room to turn around because of Carlisle. ”

The princess is not omnipotent, and even the king is not omnipotent, if the Britt family really betrays them all. I'm afraid that there will be no other way to choose the end than decapitation. However, Carlisle not only did not join the rebellion, but was placed under house arrest by the Duke of Arman for rebellion, which gave Isabella a chance.

"Wait until Carlisle is rescued. I can promise him the title of count, and the Britt family will not perish because of it. That's already my limit. As for Arman himself, if Duke Brown is willing to intercede, and with the help of Carlisle and Leona, I am confident that he will not be beheaded or exiled. But even so, I think house arrest for life is inevitable. ”

Isabella made an apologetic expression, but everyone present understood that as one of the leaders of the rebel army, being placed under house arrest was more than just a matter of extra kindness. Everyone also understands that when this resolution is published. How much pressure and criticism will be on the royal family. What's more, the so-called house arrest will definitely be in charge of Carlisle, so in fact, in addition to having no military power, I'm afraid there will be nothing unfree.

"Thank you, Isabella. ”

Leona nodded with a forced smile.

Betrayal is for the sake of justice, but the pain in the heart cannot be calmed.

The female knight did consider that if she joined Leah and the others, she might be able to help the Duke who failed in the rebellion. Maybe that's the girl's own way. For the salvation of Arman Britt.

But who of you of the Iron Wing Knights will thank her for that?

For Leona, the Wings of Steel had long since been broken, and it was just a place to go back to. Under the round table of the meeting, no one noticed that the girl's nails pierced the skin of her palms. However, it is the heart that hurts more than the dripping blood.

"If this is the wish of the princess, I will be happy to serve you. However, I have to say ......"

It seems that I can't stand this way the meeting unfolds. The old duke coughed twice and said:

"Arman Britt is not veal on a chopping board, but a strong bull. Before thinking about how to deal with him, perhaps we should think more about how to defeat this formidable opponent. Ironwing Fort is a precursor to Fareen City. If we don't conquer this place, recovering the royal capital will only be a distant dream.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, the Colossus is no longer usable. As for the capture of the castle, the teleportation magic has no great effect, and the castle itself has a large amount of food, and it is even more extravagant to insert a teleportation crystal in the city. ”

What the old duke couldn't accept was that the girls began to discuss how to deal with their defeated opponents before the battle had even begun. Especially since he had just heard about it two days ago - the hearth of the Colossus, the branch of the Ancient Tree of the Wind had been reimbursed.

The hearth is the fuel that started the Colossus, and it will burn dry one day anyway, but the awkward problem at the moment is that they don't have a spare hearth.

Although the teleportation crystal will only consume Leah's mental power, it will not have much effect on siege warfare.

"Don't worry about this, although the Colossus is no longer usable, it is precisely because of the activity of the Colossus that the lords of all sizes have retained their full strength. Coupled with Jessica's help, we improved siege machinery such as trebuchets and artillery, which was not a problem for taking Ironwing. ”

Isabella said.

"But winter is coming, and we can't do a siege, because the cold winter will freeze our soldiers. As for siege warfare, IMHO, even if it can be won, it will be a huge loss. Arman is an experienced soldier who will consume a lot of our forces with his army. ”

The old duke shook his head, although he didn't say anything, but in his heart he still didn't approve of the princess's unrestrained use of the colossus, such a big killing weapon should have been used in such a crucial battle.

"It's a problem, but it's not like we don't have a solution. ”

Karen shook her head.

"Yes, we still have ......"

Isabella looked at little Lori.

"Alright, alright, I know. Woo...... I'll do it. ”

Leah agreed with a flushed face. That's right, there were three killer features, the Colossus, Teleportation Magic, and the Anthem. Merely......

[Anyway, it's a shame to stand in the army and sing!]

Leah thought so depressed.

"I don't know what you're playing, but there's one more thing you need to be aware of, and that's that before you returned, Arman had killed Chloe Raven, the man who won the tournament and ended up winning Catalvard.

In other words, he now holds the Dawning Blade, the legendary artifact. ”

The old duke frowned dissatisfiedly when he saw that everyone looked relaxed.

"Well...... There's Kotravade on the other side, but we also have Nirfi. ”

Faced with Old Man Brown's dissatisfaction, the princess smiled with ease.

And so the meeting ended in the confusion of the poor old duke.

"Leah. ”

"Huh?"

On the way back to the room, the princess stopped Lori.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to force you again......"

Isabella said apologetically.

"Well...... It's okay, it's okay. If it's just a chant, wrap it around me. ”

Leah smiled. The reason why the princess apologizes is because driving Nilfi will hurt Leah's body. However, this is not the same as in the Elven Forest, and now Leah is at most able to eat two big red bottles after using Nilfi.

[It's really reluctant, it's still the same ......]

The power absorbed from Valoret was not exhausted, and Leah could feel that an even stronger, pure power was sleeping within her. However......

[That power is something you can't withstand at the moment, Leah, if you can, please try not to use her.] 】

Before leaving Mage City, Hanufain had told her everything.

[A powerful power, but also a terrifying power, if Isha and them see themselves like that again, between me and them...... Can it still be like this?]

It is not the physical destruction that is frightening, but the mental damage. Poor little Lori didn't know that the Great Sage had spoiled everything, so she was afraid, afraid that her friends and relatives would turn away from her because of this powerful and terrible power.

[But even so......]

When she thought of the image of Isa, Leona, Karene and the others leaving her because of that power, her heart throbbed, and she couldn't help but turn around and hug each other.

"Ahh

Facing the little Lori who suddenly threw herself into her arms, a question mark appeared on the princess's head.

"Well, nothing. Just want to ...... Stay like this for a while......"

Leah shook her head, still burying her little head in the princess's arms and refusing to come out.

"Uh......h Why are you suddenly coquettish? There's really nothing you can do......"

Isabella shook her head in annoyance, but didn't push her away. The girl leaned against the window of the castle, looking out the window at the autumn sun, holding Leah in her arms, enjoying the quiet time together.

[Even so...... In order to protect Isa, in order to protect my favorite friends and family, I will also resolutely use that power, no matter what happens in the future!]

Feeling the warmth of the princess, little Lori thought silently in her heart. (To be continued......)
