Kellius walked into the manor again, still following Maggie, who had guided him at the time. Unlike last time, I feel that there are a lot more people here than the last time I came.

And rightfully so, after all, this is a big wedding, and there will be a lot more guests today than the last one, which was just a birthday dinner once a year.

And Kylelius also got the news from Daphany, the Count learned the lesson of the last time this time, and transferred nearly half of the elite escort from the county. When Daphany told Kylelius the news, it was the day before yesterday, when Kylelius and Daphany were last intimate.

She didn't know the exact number, but she knew that this time it was led by the captain of the Earlguard's guard, Rolls Diarra, and the number would not be less, and there should be at least three or four hundred Swiss soldiers.

"What about the county's defenses? Wouldn't the defense force there be greatly reduced if half of the guards were transferred? If anyone made trouble, would the county be able to defend it? That is the base camp of the count's family. When Kellius heard this, he showed a certain amount of concern, although he was a little indifferent, but he was still concerned about the safety of his father-in-law's family.

"Don't worry, the county isn't the only one there, we have enough strength to fend off the enemy's attack. And the beautiful lady, who was lying naked in his arms at that time, said this with some nonchalance.

Obviously, she didn't think that anyone in the kingdom would dare to attack the territory of a border count, and the nobles in the kingdom were either not enough or too far away, and as for the troops abroad, she expressed confidence in the combat effectiveness of the border legions.

Moreover, the elite escort of more than 400 people and some temporarily recruited recruits are enough to guard the important strongholds of the county. Relying on the geographical advantages and defense facilities, as well as the strategic materials that were fully prepared there, it was enough to resist the attack of a regular army of several thousand men for several days, so she was not worried about it at all.

Kylelius thought about it, and felt that it made sense, and he didn't think that a big force that could gather a few thousand regular troops would spend so much effort to attack a small county at this sensitive time, and at the same time, the gains outweighed the losses, exposing themselves, and it was meaningless.

So I didn't continue to dwell on this problem, although I felt that the earl was a little fussed, and so many people were sent to guard a wedding, and it was really a snake bite for ten years and afraid of the well rope.

And they didn't notice that not far away, Mera, who was lying there naked, looking contented and asleep, her beautiful eyebrows twitched unnaturally a few times, and then calmed down again.

After half a year, he came here once, which made Kylelius feel like a world away, the last time he was a guest, but this time, he entered here as half a host, and he felt a sense of indescribable difference.

And the last time I was here, it seems as if it hadn't happened. It was only the completely renovated fence on the perimeter and the obviously reinforced defensive structures that let Kylelius know that the Count still remembered the last battle. The defense here is obviously much stronger than half a year ago.

The beaming maids and attendants and a few sporadic guests gave Kylelius a slight sense of joy.

Kylelius came to the preparation room specially prepared for him, the bridegroom, and after some fiddling with the maids, he changed into a gorgeous and somewhat strange dress, which was the traditional men's wedding dress of the nobles here, but it seemed a little strange to Keerlius.

Then, under the guidance of a middle-aged deacon, I went to the hall where the wedding was held, that is, the hall where the birthday dinner was held half a year ago. Kylelius felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he came from the Blue Star Celestial Empire, and he was always a little taboo in this regard, especially since he came to this world where true gods spread authority.

'Aren't you afraid of another half-year-old battle here?' Kellius complained silently. Then he shook his head, leaving this unfounded thought behind.

Kylelius stepped into the hall and found that although the hall was already full of guests at this time, it was still a little short of what he had expected. According to the Earl's position in the vicinity, there were obviously fewer guests coming to the wedding reception.

But he immediately understood the reason for this after a little thought.

Because it is a special period, although the situation in Banji does not have any problems in the eyes of most ordinary people, these figures in the upper echelons have more or less perceived the seriousness of the gaffe.

So even after months of preparation, the wedding is still relatively small. After all, some important guests did not come for various reasons due to the unstable situation.

The situation here is already very chaotic, and the almost skin-torn battle between the two sides half a year ago has made the clouds here even more dense.

In the past six months, the various local forces have been fighting openly and secretly, and the nobles at all levels have not died less, and the daily news is that a certain nobleman died in his own home, but the biggest one is also a baron, and it has not had much impact on the high-level.

Therefore, most of the people did not feel the danger from it, after all, it was only a struggle between nobles, and it generally did not affect the commoners.

But even so, many nobles who have a relationship with the Stelle family are looking for all kinds of excuses not to come here to attend the wedding.

After all, although their protective power is basically sufficient, and the situation has not developed to the point where it is necessary to target outsiders like them, people with status and status are always afraid of death, and the higher the status, the more so.

Therefore, they did not dare to come here to attend the wedding of an earl's daughter, at the risk of even the slightest chance of disaster. After all, it was just a second daughter's wedding, and it wasn't enough for them to risk their lives to attend.

Some of the town's bigwigs were there, and as soon as Kellius entered, he saw a few familiar faces. But this is not surprising, after all, they are based in this town, and in the eyes of those of them who have been accustomed to all kinds of cruel struggles for half a year, it is not dangerous to just come to a wedding.

And with their status, it's really unreasonable if they don't come. After all, the earl's influence here is too great, and the nobles from other places can not care about his face, and if they don't come, they won't come, but they have no excuse not to come if they still have to eat locally.

The consequences of offending the Count and Kellius, the future great magician, although they are not afraid, are not a joke at this critical time.
