The Amber Sword: Act 30 Expansion (11)
Expansion of Act 30 (11)
The weather is slightly bright in the early morning, but there are still some cold factors in the air that have not faded after one night. When people and horses breathe, water vapor is trapped in the hoarfrost at the nose and mouth. At this time, already in Trentheim can feel winter. Aura.
The team of people and horses passes through the valley between the two mountains. The surrounding forest is actually a kind of cold black, as it escapes from the ink painting. Farther away, the mountains are green behind the clouds.
A team of more than thirty people, each full body armour, each with a weapon; these are all off-the-job soldiers, but not Aouine's professional soldier, but mercenary. In the Trentheim area, the professional soldier can be seen only in the Pallas near by area. The most elaborate Knight of Grudin are gathered at the mountain pass fortress that extends northward of Grahár Mountain.
After crossing the valley, the squadron entered a small area surrounded by forests. There was another squad of soldiers staying at the moment, while they were watching a few youngster sitting down on the ground.
These youngster heard the sound, raises head came, saw the serious faces of the middle-aged noble led by the visitors, and most of them showed a sincere and horrified look; but only they were clustered in the middle by youngster maintain one's composure, but some annoyed forget it/that's all.
The middle-aged noble rides on his beloved horse. This horse is called a black fox, with a tall body and a black mane. It looks like a smooth satin. -- is the purest horse from the northern bloodline. -- when he was young This horse accompanied him to birth and death, and although he has now entered the twilight years and is no longer brave, but Knight Minteye still has deep affection for it.
He looked down at these youngster, did not say a word.
This person is Correct Knight Minteye, and these people are his manpower. The former received news of Fir Tree Barony rioters *** many days ago, but this well-thought-out noble did not dispatch in immediately; in Aouine, in the absence of Thane's orders, the family members broke into the homeowner's territories and rebelled without permission After Knight Minteye repeatedly confirmed that the message was reliable, it ordered one's own Knights to start.
The Minteye area is adjacent to Fir Tree Barony, and the army is almost on the horizon; he assembled his army overnight and left the hilly area of Minteye in the early morning of already to enter the flat valley area along the Griess river. The Griess ferry is close at hand. Earlier, scout reported that the ferry was not occupied by the mob. Many people in the town didn't even know what happened to Fir City. The cavalry already penetrated ten miles along the coast, and no trace of mob activity was found.
Knight Minteye isn't too surprised. From the news, it seems that the Fir City participated in the *** is just a few mercenary, these people are simply lawless, anything can be done. In his eyes, these guys who are no different from thieves are likely to have coaxed out after a looting.
As for further to control the ferry, this will only be done unless the other party attempts to seize Fir Tree Barony by chance. Knight Minteye thinks that he thinks too much; the other party is just a group of Mercenary, keen on money, they are unlikely to wait there Obliterated.
He was worried that there was no Madara's figure behind it. After all, Undead Army was still locked in Southern Territory, but now it seems that the situation already is quite clear.
This is just a ***.
This makes Knight Minteye sighed in relief.
But his good mood did not last for a long time, a news that upset him was passed to his ears through the mouth of already, which is why he now brings more than thirty people to this mountain forest. the reason.
The youngster in the middle, wearing a light brown coat, sitting on the ground with a long sword and sitting cross-legged on the ground, is slightly similar to the -- eyebrows of the jazz himself, Correct his youngest son .
This younger son is the favorite of his three sons. He only thought of Agility, and was born with revealed since childhood. The jazz's investment in him can be described as a lot of effort, but the latter can be described as disrespectful. In the early years, he was idle and unwilling to be a serious official. Later, he was sent to the adjacent Monk Mahal territory for training. He hoped that he could restrain character. Instead, he failed to do so, but instead After gaining insights outside, some more whimsical ideas came to mind.
The messenger already told him the whole story. When he was overtaken, the young master planned to run away with one's own's servants and servants. It was not clear why, but Knight Minteye only saw These youngsters on the ground would be furious.
"Say," he asked condescendingly on horseback, "what happened?"
The youngster sitting on the ground didn't care about his prestige and raised his chin: "It's so boring, my father."
"Huh," Knight Minteye said in a deep voice, "Aren't you going to experience the war, I will show you once. But what is the situation, you better explain -- to me"
"War? But it's just a group of mob forget it/that's all. What kind of war is this trivial matter?" youngster smiled and said disdainfully. But he went to raises head and said seriously: "Master Father, do you know? It is rumored that Her Highness Princess Gryphine already has returned to her territory and is calling her Knight --"
Knight Minteye for a while, although he was noble, but he was pathetic. Of course, he had heard about rumors from the north, but it was a banquet for big men, and he was not even a **** on this board. It doesn't matter.
"What does this do you?" he asked.
"Of course it matters," youngster said cheerfully, "The next battle is to determine the fate of this country. My already decided to devote myself to such a magnificent history and follow Her Highness the Princess --"
Knight Minteye didn't expect his younger son to think this way. After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Whimsical, you have never been out. Do you know where Her Highness the Princess is? What is happening outside now?"
"I have my own way," youngster said confidently.
Knight Minteye is helpless, knowing that he has been smarter since he was a kid, maybe he will find a way for him. However, he shook his head to throw away the thought, and replied, "Is there any way I can ignore it, but you better try to convince me -- first"
"Master Father," youngster stood up quickly when he saw this, explaining: "You can't keep me, why don't you let me go out and make a fortune, stay in Trentheim and keep this business for a lifetime. It is your last job." Generation, and for me, a real Knight should build one's own meritorious -- in the war "
"War, have you ever seen war?" Knight Minteye couldn't help but sarcastically. When he was young, he also followed Knight of Grudin. Although already had not fought in person for many years, he still kept the alert habit until many years later. He seemed dismissive of the wars mentioned in youngster's words.
But he suddenly stopped talking. When he was practicing with Monk Mahal, his younger son once followed Knight Pallas to practice art of war. Although Knight Pallas has no reputation in the entire Aouine, but in this Trentheim, it can be said to be a first-class veteran.
At the fortress on the northern edge of Grahár Mountain, Knight Pallas commanded the most elite Knights under Grudin. On the one hand, they must guard against other noble attacks, on the other hand, they must fight with the mountain people indigenous people of Southern Territory in Radnor year round, and compete with those professional thieves. In comparison, the thieves in Trentheim can be regarded as docile like a lamb, so to say that in this region, when mentioning Knight Pallas, everyone will first have a serious soldier image.
Knight Minteye remembered that his son was also involved in the war between the indigenous peoples of mountain people. Speaking of the battle, the opponent's experience is probably not much less than himself.
So he shook his head again and said, "Well, I'll give you a chance to persuade me."
"What opportunity?" youngster came to interest.
"Let me be an assistant and let me see your performance. If you can do this job alone, I will let you go naturally." Of course, Knight Minteye doesn't think so, but it is just a strategy to slow down, his heart I don't think I have time to entangle with this guy now, so I will have time to slowly cook him after the battle is over.
Since this guy likes to fight, he throws it into that guy's hands. -- Knight Minteye thought so, of course, he thought of Knight Pallas. Although the two most powerful Knight under Grudin are not so harmonious, in fact, his personal relationship with each other is not bad.
But youngster noticed his father's thoughts. His light blue eyes turned and smiled slightly: "Master Father, the other party is just a mob. Are you doing something trivial?"
"Hmm, didn't you follow Jomart to learn art of war for so long? --" Knight Minteye suddenly realized that this was a good idea, and found something to make this guy consume excessive energy; he remembered a recent one Unreliable news, decided to add a fire, "I heard that there is a young leader among the mob, about the same age as you, but already became the commander in chief of the army; instead, you brag about all day, but you see nothing Amazing achievement, and now I give you this opportunity, do n’t you want to give it a try? "
The news obtained by Knight Minteye is indeed a youngster among the leaders. However, as to how old the other party is and what ability they have, it is purely Thaksin beard stubble forget it/that's all. He doesn't care who the mob is leading. Anyway, it is a group of black people, so to speak, it is nothing more than to make his own strategy to slow down the troops work forget it/that's all.
"It will not work for a Knight, my father," said youngster verbally, but the expression of obvious interest on his face betrayed him. "But okay," at last he nodded himself, "I agree, I just happened to see where this person is sacred."
Knight Minteye has no expression, but laughs inwardly, thinking experience counts, no matter how clever you are, your kid will end up having fun with me. In the end, this secret smugness turned into a sigh: youngster, still too ***.
