Chapter 807
Thousand Accounts City.
After meeting with Count Eckert, the Fortress of Fury who came from the south, and the dwarves of Silverhelm Mountain, Loren finally returned to the only city on the big green sea.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar sight in front of him, the black hair wizard’s gaze is extremely complicated; although the broken marks on the city wall are still there, there are almost no traces of blood and charred, the corpse The remnants of the broken walls have also been basically cleared; the residential buildings in the city have basically been repaired, or temporarily replaced by the tents most commonly used by the people on horseback.
The bustling silhouette, the tent camps on the periphery of the city wall, the herds of cattle and sheep, and the carriage that constantly shuttles between the streets inside and outside the city gate......
I dare not dare I believe that just a few months ago, what kind of bloody battle broke out here, and the piled bones even blocked the rushing river outside the city.
Of course, the changes in this city are far more than these...The dark pupils stared at the iron crown banner on the city wall, and Loren couldn't help but sighed.
The reaction of the empire was unimaginable and swift-if Brandon had not lied, this army had only received the order and formally opened during the time before and after the fall of Silverhelm Mountain, then their marching speed Almost twice as fast as Byrne.
Furthermore, under the premise of doubling the strength of the army and relying mainly on infantry...It took less than two months to pass through the small boy’s collar, occupy and control the thousand The tent is one of the third city defenses.
This is because Sarika led the army back to Thousand Tent City in time, and the result of some negotiations; otherwise, what is standing on the city wall now is not Boye’s hussar warrior, but the Empire’s Legion soldier!
In a sense, this is also the capital of Brandon and his own "lion's big mouth"... Indeed, even the proudest Byrne Knight has to admit that the Legion of the Empire is of high quality. By Byrne.
Even if Brandon is falling out to become hostile, there is no force in Poye that can compete with fifty thousand Legion and a giant dragon; not to mention Loren’s purpose is to win them over and get them Truly become an army that can be loyal to Brandon.
This is very important for Brandon, and also very important for Loren; especially when Boye is half disabled, and the newly unified Byrne, he will face Seyol at any time. Whether you are chasing or killing yourself, you need a strong enough ally.
When the Allied Armies and the dwarves arrived, the Duke’s Castle of Thousand Tented City was ready for the ceremony for the coronation of the new Grand Duke; when all the guests arrived, the official announcement could begin.
In this respect, the Boi people seem to have a lot of similarities with Byrne’s "hometowns": the ceremony is very simple, but the banquet is very grand; the love wine as one's life is also the same in this respect, almost the same. .
After the notification, the entire group successfully entered the Duke’s Castle of Thousand Tent City, but only Loren was allowed to enter the main hall, Braha count, Ashamed Master, and even Brandon. Was turned away.
According to the knighthood guidelines established at the beginning of the empire, each duchy’s grand duke is only lower than the highest emperor in First Rank, and equal to the Prince of East Sackland, and the immediate imperial family relatives are lower than the duke but higher than the count .
So even if a certain prince stomped his feet with anger, he could only stand outside helplessly, watching Loren walk in alone with a jealous face, making a black hair wizard keep rolling his eyes.
…………………………………………
The quiet atmosphere of the main hall, Loren standing in front of the door can vaguely hear the noise outside And the noise;
Several Poi warriors and the empire’s officers had a quarrel, and Blaha count was trying to mediate as much as possible in the middle; the Ashamed Master said that as the elder must say a few words about them, the result When he was physically broken, the little wizard on the side screamed again and again; Brandon seemed to be pranked by the giant dragon Mirasis again, making him yelling without image...
Shake Shaking his head, Loren sighed and turned his gaze back to the main hall.
Iron Cavalry, the Mithril Blade, which symbolizes the position of Grand Duke Boyi, is in front of him.
"Blaha and the others said that some soldiers of the Varna family dug out from a corpse somewhere." The girl's voice echoed in the walls, with a strong voice. The lazy and decadent taste.
Black hair wizard frowned slightly, her face full of alcohol, Salika slumped on the stone steps next to the knife stand, holding the unfinished mare cumin in her hand, in a daze. God’s eyes looked straight at themselves:
"They also said that when they dug out this knife, because there were too many corpses and they were piled together, they couldn’t tell which one. Which one is it; in the end, I don’t even know where the old bastard remains of Laszlo Varna."
"Probably...hiccup...has been swollen and turned into stinky meat. There is nothing different like mud, right?"
After finishing speaking, she picked up the hip flask and poured it out; before putting it down, she was taken forward by the silent Loren. Down.
The girl who was robbed of the hip flask did not resist, but pouted and stared at him, coldly snorted unhappy.
"Unhappy?" Putting the snatched jug on the table, Loren silently sat beside her.
"How come?!"
Salika, who was full of alcohol, retorted without thinking, arrogantly stiffening her neck: "I'm about to become Poi Grand Duke’s people! For hundreds of years, the whole empire’s female princes can count with two hands!"
"Boy, Big and Small, City of Thousand Tends, the entire Great Green Sea’s horseback people It’s my people; if you give an order, there will be another 100,000 hussars responding tomorrow; whoever you want to fight, where you want to go, where to go!"
Baring fangs and brandishing claws' linen braided girls breathe The rush, the more irritable, the heavier the blush on his face, and even the freckles on his cheeks and wings turned into pink.
"The Jonah family has been looking forward to so many years, looking forward to the stars and the moon; from my grandfather to my dad, my group of Uncles did not have this good luck; I haven’t done anything yet. That Laszlo Varna passed away on his own initiative and gave up the position of the Grand Duke!"
"Yes, and Laszlo Varna...I hate that old bastard, you all I can’t imagine how happy I was when he died!"
"So what can I be upset about? To be a Duke, get revenge, and win a centaur war. Those barbarians have not dared to come over for a hundred years, I am so happy! I am so happy! No one is as happy as I am!"
Salika screamed hysterically, angrily snorted, and snorted. Falling down on the steps behind him; panting with big mouths, his chest constantly rising and falling, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
The long silence can only hear the girl's gasp.
The alcohol and anger on her face gradually dissipated, and Salika's expression gradually calmed down.
"You traitor..."
Huh?
The surprised Loren turned his face to the side and saw Sarika lying on the steps with cold eyes swept over; like a hungry wolf staring at his prey.
"Why, still want to pretend to be stupid?" The girl angrily snorted: "Blaha told me before you came in, you and the prince have already hooked up privately to let the empire's army Stationed in Boi."
The black hair wizard stopped talking.
"Such an important matter, you actually agreed to it without telling me beforehand..." Sarika got more and more angry, her mouth trembling constantly:
"My Lord Duke of Byrne... In your eyes, are the Boys the henchman of your Byrne people, come with my call, and you can betray if you want to betray?!"
" What do you think of me, what do you think of Boy?!"
Looking at the resentful eyes and trembling corners of his mouth, Loren was startled all over, and his thoughts were blocked in his throat. inside.
I can only lower my head without looking at those eyes.
He wanted to explain to Salika that the necessity of having Brandon stationed in Boye could bring benefits to Boye; he wanted to tell her that this was a no-brainer, but ......
She is always the one who is injured, not herself; this kind of words can only be used to comfort herself.
As the grand prince of a country, he controls the entire green sea and holds the power of life and death, but he has to accept that his capital and territory are stationed, supervised, and even monitored; this feeling is what How uncomfortable... not unimaginable.
At this time, the other party needs to be considerate of herself and understand how significant her sacrifice is and how crucial it is to herself and the "big picture". This is too...
"...I actually know it."
The girl who spoke in silence suddenly interrupted the black hair wizard's contemplation, with a sullen expression: "The empire has already taken action against Boye, it's just past. Because of the Black Duke and Laszlo Varna, they never had a chance."
"Since it is already destined, let Brandon, who has a good relationship with himself and is weak, come. The garrison is always better than the emperor's visit or the Connaught crown prince...you must think so, right?"
Loren face changed, looking at her in disbelief.
"But don't think that I don't hate you anymore. You owe me more than this!" Salika suddenly looked up and stared at the black hair wizard angrily:
"You promised me that you would leave me the person who killed my warrior with what kind of medicine. What about the last one?!"
The black hair wizard's expression froze.
"And that Chacal...I heard that my ears are about to wear out in the past two days; Lord Byrne, who descended from the sky, killed a monster that even a giant dragon could not do with a single sword. …So awesome, so majestic!"
Looking at those eyes that really wanted to kill him, Loren vaguely remembered that Lu Sien had asked similar words before, and his expression was extremely embarrassing.
After being stared at by the girl for five seconds, he suffocated a word.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry..." In the end he could only say something like this: "I broke my promise."
He really didn’t know that he was paying What can I say.
At this moment, Sarika, who was staring at the black hair wizard, grabbed his wrist with a "pa!"
Loren was slightly surprised, subconsciously trying to withdraw his hand.
"Why, you still disagree?"
As he said, Salika yanked him in front of her with her palm, and looked up and down with a pair of aggressive eyes: " How many people want it, there is no chance!"
"Or...you made me pay so much that you can’t even agree to this request?"
"This and Is it okay to ask?" The black hair wizard widened his eyes: "And I think... doing this doesn’t seem to compensate you!"
"I’ll do it!"
The young girl, the girl’s wrists are exerting force again, and there is only about one inch between the two people, and the tip of the nose is almost close to the tip of the nose.
Salika with flushed cheeks closed her eyes slightly, shuddering and slowly approaching.
Loren with a dazed expression, his eyes are extremely complicated.
In my mind, a clichéd "dilemma" from the previous life came to mind.
Well, since she insists on doing this, then...
The next second, Sarika opened her eyes suddenly.
Then bite on Loren's lower lip!
"Huh——?!"
Loren, who shrank his head suddenly, covered his mouth and saw the Red Seal with one hand.
"You, you......"
"pu hahahahahahaha......!!!"
Salika answered her without concealment laughing out loud.
"How is it, is it surprised or surprised? I tell you, after you go back, no matter who asks you what is going on, you must answer truthfully, and then we will even be even !"
Loren didn't know what expression he was supposed to make, Sarika was still laughing unscrupulously, clutching her belly and rolling back and forth on the stairs.
"Boom————!"
At this moment, the door opened.
With those vigorous, slow, heavy, and light footsteps, guests from outside the main hall filed in.
Suck...
Suddenly aware of the bad black hair wizard, he immediately turned his head, and then stared wide-eyed in amazement-Sally who was rolling on the floor with a smile just now Ka, at this moment, stood solemnly in the center of the hall, behind his hands.
When did she walk over?
Loren, with an inexplicable expression, stood on one side and set aside the road in the center while thinking wildly. Before he could figure it out, he was patted on the shoulder by Brandon on his side, surprised up and down. Look at yourself.
However, when those surprised eyes stopped on his lips, they immediately turned into a comprehensible smile, and the corners of his mouth could not wait to grin behind the ears, still nodded there.
Loren had to roll the eyes to him and ignore it.
"pa! pa! Pa!"
A heavy footstep came from outside the door.
Following everyone’s gaze, an old man in priest clothes slowly entered the hall behind everyone, holding the Holy Cross sculpture in his hand, and the statue on it. , The heraldic banner of the Jonah family.
Boy bishop Calvin is also one of the oldest bishops in the Holy Cross Church.
Seeing the old man slowly walking towards him, even Sarika, who has always been fearing nothing in Heaven or Earth, clearly showed a nervous expression. The corners of her mouth were tightly closed as if she was breathing stopped.
"In front of you, in the name of the Holy Cross, I would like to announce to Boe, and even the duchy of the empire-Grand Duke Laszlo Varna has died on the battlefield in a glorious battle and ascended to heaven!"
For an instant, there was a dead silence in the main hall, and only Calvin Bishop’s voice could be heard:
"With the witness of you and the Holy Cross, officially began the coronation ceremony of the new Grand Duke Boyd. !"
