She Is Not a Witch Chapter 330: Nightfire of Oak Shield Collar

Western Empire, Oak Shield Collar.

This is the county near the south in the west, and the local lord is Viscount Robertson, Grace's father.

When Grace was very young, he was sent to the castle of the Griffon family, and grew up as Jaylann's playmate and entourage. The relationship between the two is extraordinary.

Because of this, Viscount Robertson was regarded as a die-hard supporter of Jailan and was envied by the nearby lords.

Because of the relationship between Grace and Jelan, everyone can foresee that the Robertson family will be deeply trusted by the future Duke of Griffin.

But I don't want the world to change. With the loss of power of Jailan, the Robertson family is gradually being looked down upon by people in the aristocratic circle.

Now, after leaving the Griffon Territory, the capital of the Western Territory, Jaylann led his knights all the way southward, sending out messengers constantly to inform those lords who might support him to gather in the Oakshield Territory in the south.

Among the rolling mountains and forests, a tall castle is revealed halfway up the mountain. Its roof is made of light brown tiles, which is very conspicuous under the sunlight and distinguishes it from the surrounding tall trees.

Below the castle, there is a large plain near the river valley. Some recently harvested wheat fields are distributed among them, and some straw haystacks that have not been transported can be seen.

Farmers in twos and threes were busy in the fields at the moment. Some of them **** the straw and pushed it onto the carriage beside them.

"Get up, let's go!" The hoarse voice was full of anger.

After hearing this, the companion in front patted the pack horse's buttocks, and then led it forward.

There were many ups and downs on the dry dirt road, and the carriage full of haystacks seemed to be a little unstable. It wobbled and creaked along the way, and slowly moved towards the distant village.

A little bit of gravel and soil was carried up by the riveted wheels, forming a sandy yellow dust mist in the setting sun, covering the ruts and wheels with a layer of dry dust.

Although the empire has not been peaceful these years, it has not affected this remote village, and the local people still live a life similar to the past.

If I really want to say something different, I'm afraid that some merchants occasionally come to the town to sell some gadgets I haven't seen before. I heard that those are all made in the south.

The rickety carriage pulled the haystacks back to the village, and it took a lot of time to unload the haystacks. By the time they sat down to eat, it was already dark.

The tired farmer came to the house, gulped down several bowls of water, and then rested on the chair by the wall.

In the other corner of the room, an old woman was stirring the pot, taking a long time to scoop out the cooked things inside. Afterwards, the two sat around the table and prepared to eat dinner.

"Adi hasn't come back yet?" Nong Han asked the woman, and the Adi they said was their son.

"He was called to train by Li Weik from the village in the afternoon. He said that he is in good health. If he practices more, he may be selected in next year's selection."

"Good thing." Nong Han drank the hot soup, and then took a bite of the dry and hard pancake.

"I don't want Adi to be a soldier." The peasant woman pursed her lips and said silently.

"What's wrong with being a soldier? It's better than me. I work for the master every year, but I can't save a lot of money."

"It is estimated that there will be wars in the empire now, and it is the right time to serve as a soldier. If we get some benefits, it will be worth more than ten years of our work."

As long as it is a war, after capturing a city or a small town, the soldiers will always have the opportunity to plunder. For the poor, it may be equivalent to the opportunity to get rich.

"If you're lucky and get into the noble man's mansion, you'll be prosperous." Nong Han said slowly, chewing on pancakes.

"But what if he was beaten to death." The peasant woman said sadly.

"It's Adi now. He had a younger brother before, but unfortunately he didn't grow up..."

"Hey, why are you sighing, isn't it still there?" Nong Han stopped his wife's worry.

"It's a gamble. There's nothing worse anyway. I didn't have the opportunity I have now. I wanted to be a soldier at the time, but no one wanted it."

"The sons of servants are still servants. Their status is much higher than ours. If they just mix with guards and walk around the town a few times a day, they will live a more comfortable life than us."

"Now is always an opportunity." After eating a few pieces of cake, Nong Han was not so hungry, and then slowed down, chewing slowly, as if he wanted to squeeze out some sweetness from the flour .

"But, alas, forget it." The peasant woman sat aside after finishing her meal.

"However, I heard that the south side seems to be very good."

"South?"

"Well, do you still remember, I have a cousin who married to the southern border at that time."

"A few days ago, I went to my Alan's house and heard from them that my cousin asked someone to bring some things back."

"You don't know, there was a can of sugar in that pile."

"Sugar, what sugar?"

"It's that kind of snow-white, very good sugar." Speaking of the jar of sugar, the peasant woman was full of envy, as if it was an extremely rare treasure.

"Such things are very expensive." Nong Han said silently.

"Isn't it very expensive? I usually go to the town to buy a small spoonful of it during the winter festival and use it to make bread when I come back."

"But now, that's a whole jar. I saw that the jar is full."

"Uh, it seems that your cousin is well-developed."

"Yes and no, I just heard from Aunt Alan that her daughter, who is my cousin's husband, is now working as a worker in the southern border, and can support the whole family. My cousin has four children and is now at home every day You don’t have to go out to work with your children, it’s easy.”

"Ha, it's so good, it's not a lie, just like in those years, the conscription master said that the empire won the front line, got a lot of land, and many people got rich."

"It turned out, it's not defeated. Alas, what good news can we get? If there is such a good opportunity, it would have been taken by the lords long ago." On the kang, it is more comfortable.

"No, I don't think my cousin is lying."

"That can of sugar is not fake. I even tasted some. It is very sweet and tastes good."

"Who would buy such an expensive thing just to deceive people, and even ask a caravan to deliver it."

"Maybe." Nong Han didn't want to continue asking, he just felt a little embarrassed and envious.

"Ah..."

"We probably didn't have such luck, so don't think about it."

"Alas..." After listening, the woman also sighed. In fact, she also knew that such a good thing probably only happens to very few, very lucky people.

The room was silent for a long time, until the woman cleaned up the dishes and sat back on the soil bed.

"Is there no factory here, or a place to make money?"

Nong Han turned over and said slowly.

"There are also, but they are far away, in the richer counties in the north. I heard them talking about it."

"However, those factories and workshops have long been occupied by local people. If we want to make some money in the past, we will definitely be squeezed out."

"And, don't forget, we can't run around, or we will be caught by those patrols, but we will be whipped."

"Ah..."

"It would be great if Adi can be selected. If he enters the army and gets the method of practice, he may be a genius. When he has a Sequence 5, even the knight masters in the town will nod and bow down when he sees it. "

"Maybe, in the future, I can become a hero and marry a noble lady or something."

"Haha, your woman's thinking is quite good, farther than what I thought when I was young. I was just dreaming at that time, thinking that I could have a Sequence 3, be a captain, and steal the limelight Already."

"Hey, don't even think about it, these days."

While the farmer couple were talking slowly at home, a rush of horseshoes galloped across the road outside the village. The sound of armor rubbing against each other is reminiscent of many.

Soon, people in the village slowly poked their heads out from their homes, asking each other in twos and threes.

"Was that just now?"

"I don't know, I just heard the sound."

"It should be the cavalry, no, it is the knights, the sound of the armor and horseshoes is too heavy, and the general cavalry can't equip it at all."

"I know, I saw it." At this moment, a younger voice sounded from the corner.

"What did you see?" A group of people dragged the teenager out of the corner.

"I was 'letting water' on the edge of the field, and I saw those knight masters passing by. I can say that this is the most powerful knight master I have ever seen."

"How amazing?"

"You don't know, the cloak is very thick and strong, and the horse is very strong, and it is completely covered with armor. By the way, the armor and the horse are all white and white, which is very conspicuous at night. And the round shield hanging on the other side, uh, the round shield is very big, and there is something tattooed on it, it seems to be something like a monster, it should be very powerful, but it is too dark to see clearly. "

"Well, according to what you say, this is not an ordinary knight master." Others also talked about it.

"Maybe, it's a squad from a knight order in the empire."

"Ha, will the Knights come to our little place?"

"Actually, it's not too small. Go up the mountain, Master Robertson, their family has their own cavalry, but you usually don't see it, they are all on the other side of the mountain."

"That's true. During the Western Expedition of the Empire that year, I saw Lord Viscount Robertson passing through the town with hundreds of cavalry. heraldic burqa."

"Wow, did Master Robertson get a reward for his military exploits later?"

"It doesn't seem to be. The lords of our western region obeyed the order of the Duke of Griffin and did not go to the front line. They just stopped the war and deployed defenses on the border."

"Oh, that's it." The child made a disappointed voice.

"Haha, you kid, there will always be a chance to see you in the future. I feel that the empire is not far away from war. Recently, many counties have heard that they are rushing to collect food, and casual trading is not allowed."

"Are you going to war? I feel very excited, but a little scared."

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Let me tell you, the only chance for us poor people to stand up is to fight a war. If you don't believe me, go back and ask your father."

"With this kind of land alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even give you a younger sister." After finishing speaking, other people beside him also smiled and echoed.

"That's it."

"It's hard work anyway, why not take a chance."

"Then what if you lose, it's the master's business. We have many mountains here, so we can hide in the mountains for a while. Anyway, there are not many wheat at home. I'm just afraid that if the master loses, the tax will be raised. I can't afford it, alas."

After speaking, there were a few more sighs from the crowd, and then they chatted for a while before they gradually dispersed and went back to the room.

Viscount Robertson's Castle.

The time when the lights should be turned off in the past, but now the lights are brightly lit, and patrolling soldiers are everywhere in the castle.

The deliberation hall in the castle is now crowded with dozens of figures in armor. Under the light of the burning torches, the faces of these people are also very clear.

"His Royal Highness, who are you here today?" The current Viscount Robertson is a bit fat, and he looks about 40 years old. He almost just got up from the bed, wearing relatively thin clothes.

"Uncle Robertson, long time no see." Jailan nodded briefly, then raised his arm lightly, and three great knights came out behind him, negotiating with the viscount, and describing the current situation, while he himself stood at the edge of the castle Beside the window sill, overlooking the small town and fields below, as well as the scattered villages.

Shortly after, a sound of footsteps stopped behind Jailan.

"I have already communicated with Viscount Robertson." Grace's voice sounded in his ear.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Grace." Jailan turned around and pressed his palm on the companion's shoulder.

"No, in fact, our family has long been bound to His Highness, who made my father only have me as a son." Grace shook her head.

Although the Viscount Robertson of this generation has several daughters, Grace is the only son. After hearing what happened, although his heart was full of fear, after being forced to settle down, he also found that there is no way out now. .

Even if he escapes, where can he escape to, and his only son joined Jailan's team, it seems that there is no turning back, and now there is only one way to go to the dark.

After gradually clearing his mind, Viscount Robertson slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Your Highness, if you want to raise an army, you must hurry up and take down the leaders of the surrounding counties before the news of the central part of the western region comes."

"Does Lord Robertson have any plans?" Jailan looked at the lord and asked calmly.

"Yes, I am very familiar with those old guys around. In fact, as long as I suddenly enter their castle and control myself and family members, I can easily tie them to our chariot, so that there is no need to kill them. It is also very easy and stable to control this land."

Sure enough, when all the old shackles were broken, the mind was instantly opened. The lord had no guilt, and was even full of excitement when he thought of pulling his old friend into the water.

"Then leave it to you, Grace."

"No problem, Your Highness."

"Well, let Trask and Linton follow you. They both carry holy swords and are also good at fighting in the mountains and forests. Try to get it done quickly, we don't have much time."

"Before the army from the western border overwhelms the border, we must organize a force worthy of a battle. If we persist for about a week, the support from the south will arrive."

"At that time, the real battle will begin."

"We understand."

After finishing speaking ~IndoMTL.com~ Grace quickly walked out of the hall with a group of white lion knights, and under the yelling and shouting in the castle, the cavalry of the Robertson family followed closely, holding their torches high, and rushed into the hall. In the cold night.

After the allied team set off, the castle was still lit. Some armor and weapons stacked in the warehouse were moved out one by one, and then began to be counted and distributed. When the gate of the castle came out, messengers rushed out from time to time. The Lord Viscount's order is spread throughout the villages and towns in the territory, and the team that used to patrol the mountains and the militia guards from all over the place will be summoned.

Get trained, armor and weapons handed out, ready for battle.

A new war will ignite in the west, and this time the two sides are the father and son in the Griffon family.

The young male lion begins to challenge the authority of his parents, and the winner will become the new king of griffins.

Or maybe he no longer cares about the name of the king, and cares more about the real meaning behind the king.

That is to lead the people to one victory after another, whether it is war, economy, or everything in life.
