Chapter 126: Your Majesty Gurrant

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The ceremony to welcome Curt was simple and solemn, with fifty of Ottran's most elite knights lining up at the gates of the city in two rows for Curt to pass through. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)

Curt walked slowly, glancing over the knights' faces. These knights wore full plate armor, and even the horses were hung with iron armor. With the exception of their eyes, the rest of their bodies are hidden under heavy armor. The horses under the crotches of the knights were also tall and strong, and stood still in place very obediently.

Curt nodded slightly, he knew that this kind of knight was the most terrifying warrior. If there were two hundred elite knights of Otlan, then an ordinary army, even if it numbered thousands, would be scattered and sliced apart.

Light bows and arrows were of little use to such knights, who could also use the momentum of their horses to use their spears to pick their enemies away with men and shields. In the worst-case scenario, the knights can dismount and fight on foot. Armed with heavy swords and shields, they are ready to transform into invincible sword and shield bearers.

In a short time, Curt made an assessment. Even if the mercenaries he brought with him were in a dense formation and shot with all his might, he might not be able to stop the fearless charge of the hundreds of Aotlan knights. Conversely, if there are knights in Aotland as cover, then the mercenaries can wield the most power. They can disrupt the enemy's formation, and the knights can charge and kill them as much as they want.

At the end of the queue, King Gourant and Queen Maggie of Otlan, as well as Wren and Prince Owen, had been waiting for a long time. Curt walked five steps away from the Grant, turned around, and raised his palm. So his men stopped at the same time and made a neat sound.

Gurrant twitched his eyebrows, he could tell. These more than 20 people are a hundred battle heroes. Because the mercenaries were trained by the Iron Guard Cedric. There is a more general regular army of su zhì.

What pleased Curt was. Gulant received him openly. This means that Aotran, the land of swords, is determined to go all the way to the dark and will not turn back. If Gurrant tries to hide Curt and only send him out to fight at critical times, Curt will have to worry about whether Gurt will turn his face and disown himself after the battle. The current situation is very ideal, and Curt can expect it. Aotran will give itself full support.

So Curt solemnly half-knelt down, bowed his head, put his right hand across his chest, and made a knightly salute to Gulrant and Maggie. The Immortal Armor Holy Night on his body looked beautiful and functional, and the main body was presented in a gorgeous bright white. If it weren't for Curt's thinner stature, the scene in front of him would have looked like a legendary paladin swearing allegiance to the king.

Gulrant waited a few seconds, then stepped forward and lifted Curt with his own hands. Prince Owen grimaced, not seeming to be pleased with Curt's arrival. Wren tilted his head and looked at Randall hiding in the crowd. He shook his feet informably. Seems to be very interested in Randall.

In the time that followed, Gulrant spoke some big and inconsequential words. He then asked the knights to guard Curt. Head to the main fort in the middle of Yongye Fort. At the entrance to the main castle, the knights and mercenaries stayed. Gordon and the others were received by the two princes, while Curt followed Gulrant and Maggie directly to the council chamber.

In the center of the large conference hall is a large round table that has just been moved. Grant took Maggie and sat down, and then said to Curt, who was sitting across from him:

"It's our tradition, Mr. Curt. The country of the sword is the country of knights, and the king is the knight of knights. We only use round tables when talking to our counterparts. The round table symbolizes equality, and I hope to communicate with you on an equal footing. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Ke Teh nodded, picked up the tea brought by the maid, and took a small sip. He put his hands on the table and said in a calm tone:

"I have been commanded to help you, Your Majesty. Touched by your trust, Lord Ioham, he commanded me to represent the Thousand Laws City and win the victory for you at any cost. Of course, such cooperation is not without a price. ――I beg your pardon, this is the first time I have participated in such a high-level meeting, and I don't know the rules. So let me be blunt, after winning the war, what kind of reward will Aotland give to Thousand Law City?"

"Hehe, you don't know hypocritical etiquette, Mr. Curt. ”

Gurrant shook his head slightly, he didn't expect Curt to simply go so far. So Gulant thought about it for a while, and then said cautiously:

"In the name of Etrith, the goddess of the night, after defeating the dastardly Silverspear Nation Jeppen and the Hundred Peaks Britannia, you will be promoted to Marquis of Alteran, the Sword-wielding Nation. Mr. Curt, your territory will have a vast coastline that contains some of the finest deep-water ports in Alterland. I should have said that later, but thanks to your sharpness, we saved a lot of time. ”

"Mutual friend, I don't intend to be false with you, Your Majesty. In the current situation, sincerity is what counts. Every second is precious now, in fact, what I hope most is to be able to end the meeting quickly and participate in the layout of the operation. Now that you've sworn to the gods, I'm going to do what I have to do. ”

Curt pushed the table up, he had got what he wanted. The position of marquis is not in Curt's eyes, it can only be regarded as an incidental gain. What really matters is the coastline and deep-water ports, with which the city of Qianfa can organize a fleet of ships, transport people and supplies in large quantities, and gain a foothold on the big 6.

To Ke's surprise, Gurant was not in a hurry. He waved his hand very majestically, smiled and said:

"It will take at least a week for the enemy to attack, and you have a long journey, so you might as well rest first. You've heard about my daughter Fran from William, right? She loves magic very much, but she has never met a real ** teacher. ”

β€œ......”

Curt bowed wordlessly and accepted GΓΌrant's proposal. Through the full investigation of Henry's spies, Curt's true identity has been exposed. So Gurrant was well aware of Curt's weight, and he was indeed able to represent Ioham's will. Coupled with the astonishing appearance of the Weasel Mercenary Group when clearing out the Weasel Mercenary Group, Gurant believed that the twenty or so people brought by Curt were already the strongest force that Qianfa City could immediately support.

Maggie watched Curt leave, and she hadn't said a word so far. Until Gulrant craned his back and let out a deep sigh. Maggie turned her head and said with some confusion:

"My dear, do you really have faith in that young man, and though he is very good, he has less than thirty men. Jeppen and Britannia sent a full 4,000 warriors and 800 knights, and they even brought the priests of the fallen gods. We only had one-third of the enemy's strength, plus more than twenty men brought by Curt...... Even if they can defeat each other, what can they do?"

"Shut up, Maggie. ”

Gulrant leaned back in his chair with a tired expression. He looked up, looked up at the ceiling, and muttered to himself:

"I did everything I could for Fran. If the outcome remains irretrievable, there is nothing to regret. At least...... Let Fran meet the real ** teacher. She belonged to magic, and she shouldn't have been born in Alteran. Alas, how happy she would have been if she had been born in the City of a Thousand Laws......"

At the same time, Curt was walking through a long corridor led by a maid. The passages inside the main fort are spacious and intricate, apparently well-designed. Compared to the green castle that only pursues functionality, Yongye Castle is much more refined. As he walked through the walkway at the edge of the building, Curt saw a number of trimmed plants on the periphery. They need servants to maintain them, but due to the imminent war, there are not many servants in the main fort right now.

At the end of a certain walkway, Curt saw a large wooden door. The door was inlaid with metal bars, so strong that it was difficult to split with a giant axe. The maid bowed to Curt and left. Curt scratched his head a little inexplicably, he hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door opened inward, moving almost afloat. It didn't take a closer look for Curt to know that it was the effect of the spell. With some surprise, he walked through the door and looked around the vast room. The room was extremely spacious, with little furnishings. On the other side of the room, there is a row of huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the window there is a platform suspended directly over the huge lake.

It can be said that this room occupies the best attraction of Yongya Castle. The view from the window is unobstructed, and you can even see the mountains in the distance. Curt felt a fresh air rush over his face, mixed with a hint of magic. But there was no one in the room, only a dozen cats of different colors. They lie down or lie on their stomachs, playing in a comfortable time.

With the psyker's keen sixth sense, Curt sensed something unusual. With a little thought, he activated the detection stealth spell that was constantly on his body. So when Curt looked around the room again, he saw a young girl sitting on the floor. A few cats lay on the girl's side, stretching lazily.

"Princess Fran?"

Curt tentatively greeted him, trying to hide his shock as much as possible. Fran looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a purple shawl length and eyebrow-length bangs. What is striking is that from her head, there are two cat-like ears sticking out. Behind Fran, there was also a purple cat tail dragging on it.

Curt suddenly understood why Gurrant had hidden Fran here. Because Fran is a warlock, a spellcaster of Destiny. Warlocks are different from mages in that they don't need to learn, they can use spells as long as they follow their instincts. If you trace the bloodline of any warlock to the source, it will inevitably be revealed that his ancestors once crossed paths with dragons. So there are always some inhuman features on the warlock's body, but the warlock who has grown into Catwoman, Curt has seen it for the first time. (To be continued!)
