The breakdown of negotiations shrouded Radisse in the haze of war, the anxious Rolf was busy with pre-war mobilization, the members of the Order were busy practicing tactics, and the city hall officials were busy stockpiling supplies, everyone was busy, but Zhao Bufan seemed to be very relaxed.

He even had the leisure to carry Carter's holy sword to the cliff by the sea to practice his combat skills.

Although this was a habit he had always had, it was a little difficult to accept at such times, and the members of the Holy Knights preferred that he, the Grand Master, stay in the war room and think carefully about how to win the upcoming war, especially those Holy Knights and Knight Servants, who were discussing and expressing their opinions all day long.

Soon, they decided that Zhao Bufan's current approach was a mistake, and let the third regiment commander, Rolf, as a representative, give his opinion.

"Rillo, everyone thinks you should stay in the war room, not under this steep cliff. ”

"Has the war begun?"

Zhao Bufan's naked and sturdy body, his bronzed skin glowed with a strange luster, and the divine power in his body flowed, every time he swung the Carter Holy Sword, he could bring a fierce wind, and his opponent was the constantly surging seawater.

Rolf's eyes lit up.

He is a strong man, and it can be seen that Zhao Bufan's combat skills are already very good, but he is not in the mood to talk about these now.

"War hasn't broken out yet, but it should be soon, and our men have picked up news that King Baldwin is almost finished. ”

"Since you haven't already, what are you going to do in the war room?"

Zhao Bufan replied casually and continued to practice martial arts.

Rolf was puzzled by his calmness: "Rilo, are you really not worried at all?"

"Worried? Why worry?"

Zhao Bufan seemed to be smiling, gradually retracting his sword momentum, and letting the waves wash over his legs. "Baldwin can only muster 100,000 men at most, and 60,000 or 70,000 of them are mired in war with the Seljuk Empire all year round, and after deducting the necessary remaining forces, he can gather up to 10,000 men to fight us, and I suspect that he can't even muster 10,000 men, after all, not every nobleman supports him in fighting with us. ”

Rolf said solemnly, "No matter what you say, they will have more troops than us, and we should be nervous enough, shouldn't we?"

Zhao Bufan looked at him with a smile: "The important thing is that I have commanded an offensive and defensive battle before, and the ratio of troops between the two sides is more than 100,000 versus 400,000, which is also the largest offensive and defensive battle I have ever encountered in this life, frankly speaking, I was really nervous at the time, but now I am fighting 10,000 enemies with 6,000, how can you let me ......"

"I see!"

Rolf interrupted him in time, with a big smile on his face: "It's a pleasure to stand aside with you, I think they'll have nightmares soon!"

"It doesn't take long for them to start their nightmare from last night!"

Zhao Bufan smiled, smiling a little weirdly.

He gently wrapped Carter's sword in a coarse cloth, slung it comfortably over his shoulders, and walked in the direction of Laordisse.

Rolf, who was a little stunned, reacted and hurriedly asked, "What did you mean by that just now?"

"Want to know?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Bufan raised his eyebrows: "Give me your knight's sword that you bought at a great price, although the Carter holy sword is good, it is a two-handed sword after all, it is inconvenient to carry, and it is not suitable for horse warfare, I need a knight's sword that is good enough." ”

Rolf instantly hugged his head and grabbed his long golden hair irritably: "Lilo, you make the most money, and you are probably the richest in the whole of Laordisse, why don't you buy one yourself?

"I'm going to build my own ocean-going fleet. Zhao Bufan said with a smile.

Rolf was stunned for a moment, his footsteps stopped, and he looked at Zhao Bufan's back as he gradually walked away, and he said in disbelief: "You want to go back to your own country?"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Bufan turned his head with a smile.

At this moment, Rolf felt that the smile on his face was a nightmare, and his emotions immediately became excited.

"No, you can't go, you can't abandon me and Charlie, let alone those who follow you, you have responsibilities and obligations!"

The fierce sea breeze blew and lifted the long hair of the two of them, one after the other, they stood quietly on the seashore and stared silently, each seeing persistence and firmness in each other's eyes.

After a long time, Zhao Bufan took a deep breath, turned around and took another step.

"I'll leave after I've given you a stable kingdom. ”

Rolf shook his head excitedly: "No, the East has abandoned you, you belong to the Holy Knights, you belong to this emerging city-state, you are ...... Great City Lord of Liluo, you are no longer Zhao Bufan of the East, not the prince of the Song Empire!"

In an instant, Zhao Bufan was shaken, and he turned around and looked over suddenly, his eyes were like lightning.

"How do you know my name is Zhao Bufan?"

Rolf was stared at unnaturally by his terrifying gaze, and turned his head sideways to meet him.

Zhao Bufan felt very angry, stepped in front of him in a few big strides, grabbed him by the collar, and asked urgently: "What are you hiding from me?"

"Rilo, I'm sorry, we're just afraid of losing you, and we hope to get your forgiveness!" Rolf's face was full of apologies, and now he even regretted his bowels.

Zhao Bufan let go of his collar, slowly took two steps back, stared into his eyes and said, "You should tell me more facts." ”

"The fact is that someone from your hometown has come to look for you, and they have discovered the existence of Song Paper, and they have gone through great difficulty to find La Audise, and they have visited our paper mill in the name of a merchant, and have had an in-depth conversation with Charlie, and when Charlie realizes that they are coming for you, he is afraid that you will follow them away, so he detains them all without your knowledge, and puts them under house arrest in Margaburg in the south. ”

Seeing Zhao Bufan's drastic change in face, Rolf hurriedly explained: "We didn't hurt them, we just put them under house arrest, and the reason we did this was just that we didn't want to lose you, and there was no malice." ”

Zhao Bufan's lips trembled in anger, and he punched Rolf in the cheek, beating him into the sea, and scolding almost hysterically: "There is no malice? You are just a bunch of selfish ghosts, liars, bastards who betray their friends, and they are so inferior that they are outrageous!"

Rolf had no intention of resisting, gently wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corners of his mouth, and stood up apologetically.

"I'm sorry, but it's just because we don't want to lose you, the Holy Knights can't live without you, and Laordisse can't live without you, you're the de facto leader of everyone. ”

"This is not a reason for you to deceive me, or even detain my friends or family!"

Zhao Bufan roared angrily, didn't pay any attention to Rolf, and hurried towards Ladisse.

Soon, he picked up two horses of his own at the town hall and headed for Fort Marga in the south, where nothing could be more important to him at the moment.

Now stationed in Marga Fort is the 1,000-strong brigade, and the captain is the little mercenary captain Ram, who first followed Zhao Bufan and Charlie, and now of course has become a Ram knight and the lord of Marga Fort.

Marga Fort is not a small castle in the traditional sense, but a small city with a well-established system such as a market, which has existed for a long time, as early as the rule of the ancient Roman Empire, but unfortunately it was abandoned several times in the war and thus decayed.

In the past two years, Zhao Bufan has built him into a new small city on the original basis, and at the same time has taken on the task of guarding Tripoli.

When Zhao Bufan arrived here, it was evening, and Ram was having dinner with his family in the restaurant of the city lord Shibao, but he didn't expect Zhao Bufan to visit suddenly, so he was so shocked that he put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran outside the gate of the stone castle to greet him, and there were even residues hanging from the corners of his mouth.

"Great Commander Rilo, is this the outbreak of war?"

At this time, Zhao Bufan was dressed as a knight, wearing heavy conjoined chain mail inside, and golden holy knight monk robes and cloaks outside, majestic and solemn.

He glanced at Ram, rolled over and dismounted from his horse, allowing the soldiers to move their horses.

"Where are the guests from the East?"

Ram's face changed instantly: "This ......"

"Are you taking me, the Grand Master, in your eyes?" Zhao Bufan asked in a cold voice.

Ram hurriedly saluted: "This is nonsense, in my heart, you are my most admired leader, I am proud to be your knight, you are the light of all the members of our Knights, our greatest leader!"

"Then take me to meet the guests from the East!"

"As you wish!"

Ram did not dare to disobey and soon led him to a large house in the south of Marga.

In terms of the environment alone, it is very good, with exquisite domes, open-air gardens, three-story buildings, and the area is not small, except that there are many elite soldiers of the Order guarding it, which shows that the owner of this residence is somewhat limited.

Zhao Bufan followed Ram to the gate, looking at the closed gate, Ram explained with a smile: "Grand Master, although Captain Charlie and Captain Rolf have asked us to put them under house arrest, they have absolute privacy, and I must knock on the door first." ”

Zhao Bufan nodded, trying his best to suppress his excitement.

Who could it be?

It's been almost four years since I left Da Song, and I'm really curious to know what's going on.

Is Lian'er okay?Is Hu Sanniang okay?Does Yelu Yu Liyan still hate me?

Has Little Sister Xueling found it?

What happened to the imperial court?

Did the Jin State come over?

............

Too many expectations and questions lingered in his mind.

After a while, the arc-shaped door slowly opened, and Wei Chengfeng, who was full of sorrow, appeared in Zhao Bufan's eyes, he obviously didn't recognize Zhao Bufan, who had changed greatly, but just looked at him and looked at Ram, and asked in Persian: "Ram City Lord, why did Your Excellency come to visit the city? But you plan to let me meet Zhao Bufan? If he knows that you are under house arrest in the future, he will definitely be very angry!"

Ram looked at Zhao Bufan beside him embarrassedly, and before he could speak, Zhao Bufan, who was extremely emotional, had already hurriedly continued: "Chengfeng, when did you come? How is Da Song? Is Zhu Lian okay? Did Jin Guo call?"

He said it quickly and quickly, in ancient Roman, even if Ram sounded struggling.

Wei Chengfeng was of course directly stunned, looked at the majestic knight in front of him, and asked Ram with a surprised face: "Who is this and what is he talking about?"

Zhao Bufan stayed in Ladisse for two years, and he could understand some Persian, so he came to his senses in an instant, quickly took off the dome helmet with a nose guard, and waited for the big eyes to smile in a Song tone: "Chengfeng, if you can't recognize me again, I'll let them lock you up for a hundred years." ”
