Chapter 303: Lana
The army was assembled, and David had a general understanding of the army that went south this time, including 400 knights of the Knights of Tiran, 100 knights of the Knights of the Guards, 1,000 fully armed elite soldiers, and 2,000 auxiliaries.
This is the main force of the Kingdom of Tiran, and it is only under the orders of His Majesty King Eberson.
In addition, the specific types of troops of the coalition brought by many lords are not very easy to count, including knights, cavalry, fully armed infantry and ordinary infantry with only weapons.
There were also auxiliaries, but it was really difficult to distinguish between the soldiers and auxiliaries under many lords, and it was only roughly determined that the number of the lord's coalition army was close to four thousand.
Judging from the number alone, the number of the lord's coalition is about the same as the main army assembled by the royal capital, but if it really starts a war with the Holy Gunt Kingdom, the main force is still the four hundred knights of the Knights of Tiran.
"David ......"
Mixed in the group on horseback, David looked like many of the lords around him, with three or five cronies, following His Majesty the King south.
Even though David's armor was very gorgeous, his shoulders still exuded a soft golden halo, and there was an elf beside him, everyone still didn't bother to pay too much attention to him, and they were all hurrying on their own, at most whispering a few words to their cronies.
"Your Majesty ...... the King"
"Shh~"
David cocked up his fingers in a motion, then nodded at Sylvanas, indicating that he knew what was going on.
When Sylvanas saw this, she retracted her words and continued to quietly pretend to be a guard.
It turned out that after walking together for a while, Sylvanas keenly sensed that there was something wrong with His Majesty King Eberson in front of him, although there seemed to be no problem on the surface, some of the aura was still a little strange, which attracted the attention of Sylvanas, the ranger general.
As a hunter, the ability to track is what he is good at, and how to identify the right target is naturally a must master.
Although he couldn't see the flaw, Sylvanas still sensed that something was wrong.
As for David, he also found a problem. After all, he was also a hunter, and the increase in strength had greatly improved his perception ability, and he even detected the anomaly before Sylvanas.
This is not to say that Davy's ability and talent as a hunter are stronger than Sylvanas, the point is that Sylvanas has not seen Eberson before, and only had the opportunity to meet the king when he was traveling together in the past few days.
In contrast, David often chatted and even ate with His Majesty the King during this time, and he met more often, so he was naturally much more familiar.
So, when Ebelson in front was replaced by a stand-in, David immediately noticed it.
"I don't know if the real King Majesty rushed directly to White Rock City, or mixed in with the army?"
David didn't know, but when he had traveled south for several days and had not seen His Majesty out at night for several nights, David guessed that Ebelson might have secretly left the army.
"What can I do if I go to White Rock City in advance?"
"I don't know, inquiring about the news? Appeasement Marquis Otto? Or maybe you want to quickly figure out what the purpose of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom is? β
Davy chatted casually with Sylvanas, Laura, and Gianna during their breaks, and their small circle was very conspicuous at night, because the Quint fighter plane was parked nearby, attracting the curious eyes of other lords and knights from time to time.
A few people didn't pay attention to these glances, and continued to discuss whether to go south in advance?
With Kun-style fighters, they can quickly reach White Rock City, and if they follow the large army, the speed is too slow.
"What are you doing so early?" David was not in a hurry, he felt that it was better to walk slowly: "The Winter Knight will not enter the battlefield early, even if a war breaks out with the Holy Gaunt Kingdom, the army brought by these lords will be relied on in the early stage, and then the performance stage of the Knights of Tiran, so it will not be our turn to play." β
It's too early to go, so why don't you let the Winter Knight beat the Holy Gaunt Kingdom away in advance? If he did, not only would Eberson not be grateful to him, but he might also blame David for sabotaging his plan.
After all, Eberson didn't hint to David, it was simply an explicit indication that David should not get involved in the battle early.
"It's better to go out on an outing."
So many people accompany them on an outing, and there is a lot of style, and ordinary people can't enjoy this kind of pomp!
David's mentality is very good, the whole process is to watch the lively mentality, especially after he found that many lords rejected him, this kind of mentality of watching other people's lively is even more sufficient.
He can understand that these lords 'reject' him, after all, he has almost become the son-in-law of His Majesty the King, and the lords and David really have no common language to talk about, and if they talk too much, they may be feared by the king, and it is best not to contact.
They don't know that they may have missed the last straw - if they can take advantage of this time to get in touch with Davila, maybe David will pull a little!
Now, no one can stop David's heart from watching the big fun.
Continuing to hurry, the army rushed for many days, and finally arrived at White Rock City, the southern important town of the Tilan Kingdom.
When the entire city wall of White Rock City, which was snow-white, appeared in sight, David also felt some 'shock'.
"Wow!"
It's not that White Rock City is magnificent, but this pure white city has a very distinctive character, completely made of local specialty white rock mixed with other materials to build the city and various buildings, plus mixed with a slightly different architectural style from most of the Tilan Kingdom, which makes White Rock City unique.
The army did not enter the city, but remained encamped in the open space outside the city.
The lords began to arrange various matters, and David was summoned alone, and together with several important ministers who came with the army, he followed His Majesty into the city with him, and even the people around David did not have to stay outside the city, which perfectly showed the difference from the other lords.
David didn't care about the 'envy, jealousy, and hatred' that he had invested in him, and rode comfortably with His Majesty into White Rock City.
Arriving at the Lord's Castle in White Rock City, David was not surprised to meet another 'Eberson' Majesty here.
The king who was in front of him did not know when he had disappeared, but no one was surprised by this situation, and it was clear that everyone here knew about His Majesty's departure from the brigade first.
"Earl David Glamorgan, just let your planes land in the open space over there."
A clearing had been cleared inside the main entrance of the castle, which must have been cleared by Eberson for David, and this order also made the others pay more attention to the young, fast-paced earl.
The soldiers in White Rock City were curious, not only about David, but also about the Kun-style fighters that were slowly landing.
If it hadn't been for His Majesty's greeting in advance, they would have launched an attack on the monster that had been hovering in the sky for a while.
As the Quint plane landed steadily, Princess Sophia ran out of the plane and hugged the young woman standing next to Ebelson, and David was sure that the woman who looked twenty-five or sixteen years old was indeed Sophia's sister, that is, Ebertson's eldest daughter, Lana Tiran.
Today, she is also the wife of Marquis Otto in White Rock City.
David took a quick look around and didn't see a man who looked like Marquis Otto.
Soon, his questions were answered, and Lana, on behalf of her husband, welcomed the nobles from the royal capital and explained why her husband did not show up.
"The Marquis of Pryor-Otto has been unwell lately and has been difficult to visit. It is up to me to welcome His Majesty the King and your Majesty on his behalf. β
After a few simple conversations, everyone dispersed one after another to do their own things: investigate the surrounding environment, observe the weather conditions, formulate various battle plans and records, and even formulate evacuation and escape plans that may be used.
David and Sutton were kept behind and got to know Lana Tilan.
"This is Earl David Glamorgan, Sophia's fiancΓ©." The lord of Winterfell in the Northern Plains has already been introduced in advance, and with the forced population relocation order of the Tilan Kingdom before, everyone in the whole country knows where Winterfall is.
Lana, as Ebberson's daughter, naturally knows more about it.
Compared with the simple greeting before, Lana looked David up and down seriously at this time: "A very good young man, and Sophia is a good match." β
As for the female elves, female mages, and female archaeologists who followed her, they were directly ignored by Lana.
Perhaps in the princess's heart, as long as David, the young earl, has no problem in his mind, he knows how to choose.
A simple 'family feast' that ended quickly.
Lana arranged a separate residence for David and his men, a manor not far from the castle, which originally belonged to a noble official of White Rock City, who was recently executed for a felony, and the house was sorted out just for David's group to live in.
The Earl of Sutton-Stewart and his cronies were also arranged here, and the rest of the nobles lived directly in the barracks, without such special treatment.
"I don't know why, I think Sophia's sister is a little weird." After arriving at the lodgings and making sure that there were no outsiders, Sylvanas frowned and said what she had discovered: "I always feel that there seems to be some strange power in her. β
"I feel the same way, but if it does, I even suspect it's a delusion." Gianna felt the same way, but since she had only taken a few quick glances, she wasn't sure if her judgment was accurate.
In the end, all eyes were on David, who had been in contact with the Marquise for the longest time and was close, and should be able to make a more accurate judgment.
"Your feelings are not wrong, the fluctuation on Lana's body should be the power of some god in the temple."
