Chapter 233 Kunbifu Shadow Flame
The Fire Cloud Business Road connecting the Fire Ant Swamp to the Volcanic Oasis is shorter than the Mountain River Business Road connecting the Dark Light Valley to the Volcanic Oasis.
Therefore, on the second night of crossing the snowfield, the Knights had already walked down the snowfield and entered the Fire Ant Swamp Territory.
The welcoming envoy of Baron Swan had been waiting here in the cave early.
After meeting the Knights of the Dark Light Valley, he quickly led the Knights along a slightly muddy road to the Swan Lake in the center of the Fire Ant Swamp.
Baron Swan's castle, Swan Castle, is right by the Swan Lake.
The lake in this swamp is shaped like a swan with its wings folded, and there are indeed a large number of swans living in the lake. Among them is the specialty of Swan Castle, the breeding of Yuan Beast Black Swan, which is famous throughout the Grand Duchy.
Decades ago, the entire Fire Ant Swamp Territory was still directly under the jurisdiction of the Shadow Flame Family.
It has only become a baron territory in recent years.
"The Poplar Gobi Knights arrived first, led by Baron Gvedas himself... followed by the Three Forks River Estuary Knights. The old Earl did not come, so it was Viscount Major who led the Knights... and then the Dark Light Valley Knights led by you."
The messenger introduced the situation of the Fire Ant Swamp on the way.
"How many troops have come from the Red Castle?" Baron Roman asked.
"Most of the lords and lords from the Sand Province, Yunze Province, Mountain Province, and Thousand Lakes Province have arrived at Swan Castle under the leadership of the Governor. The lords and lords from the remaining provinces have not arrived yet."
The messenger replied: "As for the Red Castle, four flying dragon knights have been dispatched to monitor the Snow Demon Legion around the clock."
"Have the Grand Duke and the Dragon Blood Knights sent anyone to say when they will arrive?"
"I don't know."
The messenger didn't know much, so Baron Roman didn't ask any more questions. Then the team drove for more than an hour at night and arrived at Swan Castle on the shore of Swan Lake.
The lights of Swan Castle were bright, and a large number of nobles had been waiting for the arrival of Baron Roman and his party at the castle gate.
The leader was an old man with a thick beard, who laughed heartily: "Roman, you are a little late!"
"Sir Kunbif, the road is not easy to walk, I have come as fast as I can." Baron Roman stepped forward and hugged the bearded old man, "Seeing that everyone is here, I think the front line is relatively stable."
"We are in a standoff, and the snow giant is summoning the snow demon army. It will take some time, but this also gives us buffer time." The bearded old man laughed.
He is the lord of the Fire Ant Swamp, Swan Baron Kunbif Shadow Flame. From his surname, we can know that he was born in the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family.
He is the cousin of the former Grand Duke Quentin III Shadow Flame, and he is also a flying dragon knight.
Because of his outstanding military exploits and his royal family background, he was able to get the title of baron and rule the warm enclave of the Fire Ant Swamp.
Otherwise, the descendants of ordinary branches of the Shadow Flame Family would at most be canonized as lifelong lords, rather than hereditary nobles.
"Is this your son? Russell?" After Kunbif hugged Baron Roman, he looked at Russell who was following Baron Roman.
Hearing this, Russell stepped forward and bowed: "Russell greets Lord Kunbif."
"The young man is very energetic and has an extraordinary demeanor. You can vaguely see the shadow of the old earl." Baron Kunbif was very respectful and praised Russell, "Going to the battlefield with your father at such a young age is destined to be a good story!"
"You are really flattering me. I still need to learn a lot about the battlefield." Russell responded modestly.
"Work hard." Baron Kunbif patted Russell on the shoulder.
Russell finished greeting Baron Kunbiff and turned to look at his uncle Major Yujiuhua: "Uncle, Russell says hello."
"Getting stronger." Viscount Major also patted Russell on the shoulder. Relatives don't need to say too much.
Behind Uncle Major, cousin Mel was standing, winking at Russell.
However, the two brothers did not rush to talk, but just made eye contact with each other, which was considered a greeting.
Then Russell looked at another great noble, the lord of Poplar Gobi, Baron Gwydas Baimaigen.
This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, but his smile is very gentle.
Speaking of this relative who is about to become a member of the fluorescent mushroom family, Russell already knows that his eldest brother Roland is likely to marry Baron Gwydas's daughter Gwyn Baimaigen, and the two barons will be in-laws at that time.
After bowing, Russell greeted Baron Gwydas, and then said, "My eldest brother also asked me to say hello to you. He needs to stay in the Valley of the Dark Light and cannot come to the battlefield to say hello to you in person... In addition, I also say hello to Ms. Gwyn."
"Roland is thoughtful." Baron Gwydas nodded calmly, and his smile was gentle but not enthusiastic.
Russell is not a sensitive person, but he can also feel that Baron Gwydas's reaction has a clear sense of alienation.
"Is it because of my eldest brother's bad reputation, or for other reasons?" Russell's mind scattered a little thought, "Did the news of being cheated at the Sancha River spread, or was it because he slept until noon every day in the Red Castle?"
Unable to think of the answer, Russell quickly put this thought aside. Such troubles are the business of his parents and eldest brother Roland.
It has nothing to do with him.
Next, Russell greeted another middle-aged man: "Hello, Lord Quinton."
"Your Excellency Russell, welcome to Swan Castle. No matter how the war develops, I hope you can have a pleasant stay in the fire ant swamp." The middle-aged man looks similar to Baron Quinbeef. He is the son of Baron Quinbeef, Quinton. ·sunflower.
Only direct descendants of nobles can bear the family name.
As a descendant of the Shadowflame family, the "Shadowflame" surname should have ceased in his father's generation.
But because he succeeded in riding the dragon, he was able to continue to take the surname "Shadow Flame" and enjoy the treatment of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family.
But his son could no longer inherit the surname "Shadow Flame", so he chose the surname of the family's Sunflower Great Elf.
Lord Quinteon is flanked by his two sons, Lord Queenslay Sunflower and Lord Queenspur Sunflower - both are older than Russell, both are married, and both have created lordships. .
As the welcome ceremony progressed, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
After dinner.
Russell, whose stomach was almost round after eating, was pulled away by Cousin Mel: "Russell, can you see any changes in me?"
"I can't tell." Russell shook his head.
"Haha, let's go, I'll take you to meet my partner, Iron Feather Gray Crane Molla!" Cousin Mel said excitedly.
"Iron Feather Gray Crane Mora?" Russell raised his eyebrows, "Cousin, have you been promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight?"
"Of course." A proud smile appeared on the corner of Mel's mouth, "Your Excellency Medikalen has no chance with me, and Your Excellency Mercedes is not in my turn, so I can naturally contract with the fantasy beasts. Among them, Mora is the most compatible with me, and I also like Maura the most!”
Although Cousin Mel has already determined that he can ride on Mercedes in the future and become a new dragon rider.
But Earl Merlin has not passed away yet, and Lord Mercedes has not yet been able to turn to Cousin Mel, so he has remained a virgin until now, trying to contract with Lord Medikalen, so that he can immediately become a dragon knight.
No need to wait any longer.
However, His Excellency Medicalun was too close to him but did not recognize him enough. In addition, the last time His Excellency Medicalun gave Russell a mouthful of Origin Dragon Breath, this undoubtedly made Mel realize that perhaps His Excellency Medicalun recognized Russell more.
So he stopped waiting and simply gave up on conquering Lord Medikalen and chose the contracted fantasy beast.
