The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 52 The Battle of Peaceful Land (10k)

"That Gleicher's army is really not weak. It seems that keeping him alive is the right choice."

On the high hill, Hugo was leading the expeditionary force to observe the battle below. Watching Gleicher's troops defeat the rebels, he had to admit that Gleicher was indeed very powerful to become the uncrowned king of the river valley. .

The soldiers of the expeditionary force were very restless. The battle taking place in front of them made them impatient and they couldn't wait to go down and help their "comrades" - after all, most of the expeditionary force did not know the truth about the Saint.

Looking down at the entire battle situation, the battlefield unfolded in front of Hugo at a glance. He noticed that there were three relatively powerful troops in Gleicher's army. They fought so hard that they did not take their own lives seriously. Horsemen, a mercenary group who decorated their arrow shafts with silver ribbons, and a group of infantrymen armed with halberds and axes, advancing resolutely.

These three form the key to Gleicher's army. The mercenary group will first weaken the enemy with arrows, the centaurs will rush away from the battle line desperately, and finally the infantry will consolidate the battle situation.

Under these three axes, the rebel army was beaten back steadily. Hugo was not surprised by this. The rebel army was just a mixed army of river valley lords and rebellious slaves. Although they responded quickly at the beginning, but as time went on, The problem of combat effectiveness itself has also been exposed. The river valley lords are not strong at all, and the rebellious slaves are even more scattered.

To say that the ones with combat effectiveness belong to those "anyway" slave owners' troops, well, now they are heading to the battlefield.

"Go forward, Barbarian Lions! Don't be merciful just because we were comrades in arms. Let them see that our choice is the right one."

A voice roared like this, and a mercenary group with lion flags also bravely came forward. Their troops were neat and tidy, without the clutter of the river valley lords and rebellious slaves, and they faced Gleicher's army solidly. impact.

The offensive of Gleicher's army was directly blocked. Its offensive momentum had been consumed a lot in the previous offensive. It would naturally be frustrated when facing the elites on the opposite side. The shield wall of the Barbarian Lions blocked them.

However, as Gleicher's army also threw the elites of various tax-contracting companies into the battle, it was only a matter of time before the battle situation reversed, and the situation could not be changed by just one Barbarian Lion Regiment.

"This so-called rebel army can still produce powerful troops. I thought they would be killed by the slave owners next, and then we wouldn't be needed to complete the final blow." At Hu Ge's side. , Jillian Lannister ruthlessly complained. As the top general of the expeditionary force, he already knew where the enemy was.

"No, they still have a lot of troops." Tiget analyzed calmly, "Those troops carrying the crown flag look much more professional than the infantry, but they did not join the battle."

The crown is the coat of arms of the Karen family. Hu Ge remembered the information he had read. They were still guarding the rear, standing there like a supervising team and did not join the battle.

This made Hugo even more disdainful of that Varian. At this time, if he still wanted to preserve his strength, wasn't he afraid that the front line would completely collapse? Or is it that I have already made up my mind not to contribute.

"Lord Hugo, Lord Warrian sent an envoy to ask you to send troops."

"Send him away."

Hu Ge responded indifferently, and then saw the rebel camp constantly waving flags at him. He knew that this was urging him to send troops, but the God's Favorite just smiled contemptuously. These clowns still haven't figured out who is the real one. is their enemy.

Hu Ge did not intend to pay attention to the signal, which made Warrian, who ordered the signal to be sent, curse angrily, "Damn it, I know this kind of adventurer cannot be trusted. He clearly wants to consume our strength. The scum cannot be trusted." "

Vorian is not worried about the losses of the rebels. He doesn't care how many rebels die. These are scum that need to be eliminated. What he is annoyed about is that if the war situation continues to develop in a bad direction, he must invest the family's troops, and How could he not want to do this? How could the elites of the Karen family die for slaves.

But the problem is, if this continues, troops must be deployed next...

"Canantiel, look, that's not Varian. The tragedy that happened to your family back then was closely related to this man. Now, the opportunity to kill your enemy is right in front of you."

Lord Burlich of Swan Hill said to Black Blade beside him, and Black Blade was staring down, but the last words he said were the opposite of his reaction, "No, I can't, I still want to Capture him as much as possible, Lord Hugo needs such a prisoner.”

"Once that Hu Ge is involved, your attitude changes so much. I'm a little jealous of this gentleman. How come you can be so loyal to a warrior like you? Why don't I have such good luck? If I were so good Luck, maybe the entire Velvet Hills have been unified long ago, instead of wasting so much time there."

Burlich has always spoken in a cunning and playful manner, but now there is only seriousness and sincerity in his words. His words come from the heart.

"Even with me, the quagmire of Velvet Hills still didn't end so easily. Didn't it take you many years to become the undoubted great lord after completely killing all the descendants of Haji? This is still because of the Seven Gods Blessing allowed you to seize the opportunity, but even so, Haji's subjects are not disobedient to your authority and are always ready to fight back."

"The descendants of Haji may appear again at any time, and the struggle will never end. Maybe they will have to come out again as soon as I die." Velvet Lord Belich agreed with a gloomy face. He did not say anything about those heroic people. Words, "My ancestors have experienced this kind of thing many times, even strange things about the resurrection of the dead. Similarly, this has happened many times to our family. We have endured the curse, Haji and Valanli Our descendants will continue to fight for generations. This is the Seven Gods’ punishment for our ancestors’ betrayal of the Kingdom of Andas.”

Listening to what Berlich said, Canatier did not answer immediately, because he knew very well that what Berlich said was true.

Haji and Valanli are the names of the two Andal lords of Swan Hill. Their descendants took their first names as surnames and began to fight for generations. In the struggle between the descendants of Haji and Valanli, even one side killed everyone. On the other side, people from the side that were killed will soon appear again to continue fighting in the mountains.

These are the hills of the Andas. The hills are always full of vendettas. The river valleys are places soaked in blood. So why are the hills the same? The disputes over the mountains and plains and the labor force almost made the condensed hatred become reality.

While the two were silent, the battle situation below changed again, because a person appeared, to be precise, a woman.

That was Statina, the saint of the river valley. She was wearing a chainmail armor and standing on a high platform very close to the front line. With her appearance, the lord troops and rebellious slaves who were originally low in fighting spirit instantly became fanatical. When they got up, their morale immediately recovered, and those who were originally timid also rushed to the battlefield.

"This woman's influence is so great." Although he had learned about Statina's influence from various channels, seeing it with his own eyes still had a strong impact on Hu Ge.

Alas, if only this woman could be won over. Hu Ge couldn't help but sigh in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, Hu Ge was unwilling to kill this saint. No matter what, many people in the future would regard him as a traitor when looking at this matter, which would have a serious impact on his image as a favored person of God. blow.

But he knew better that he had to do this. The Pentos people were preparing a large army. Maybe the army had already set off. After he ended the situation here, he had to rush over there. When facing this army, he could not let it go. There is no uncertainty behind it.

Just when Hugo was feeling regretful, another change occurred. He saw a group of Andal warriors rushing to the saint's side and neatly eliminated her guards. Hugo subconsciously thought that this was an assassin arranged by Gleicher, but he saw Instead, these people protected the saint.

These Andals are obviously Hill Andals. Although they all wear armor, their fur cloaks indicate their identity. Not to mention that there are a large number of soldiers dressed in classic Hill Andals surrounding the saint.

Just when Hugo didn't know what was going on, something even more surprising happened. He saw Statina, the saint, and started shouting. Many hilly Andals shouted with her. , Hu Ge took some time to barely hear what was said.

"...The Andals, Vorrian and Chedik are all traitors, they are the puppets of Pentos!"

Most of the Andals were at a loss by the Saint's sudden speech. They originally thought that the Saint would inspire a fight against the slave-owner army in front of them, but the Saint actually said that the former slave-owners standing behind were the enemies.

However, the state of being at a loss only lasted for a while. Everyone hated the slave owners to the point of death, and it only took a short time for these hatreds to be awakened.

When these slave owners first joined the rebel army, there was a lot of opposition within the rebel army. In fact, if the saintly woman had not stood up to the opposition, all of these slave owners would have been killed long ago.

"Don't fight for the slave masters, we have to fight for ourselves, all come to me!"

Statina's voice penetrated the battlefield, and the hilly Andals repeated her words. These words also found the direction for everyone in the confusion. Since they didn't know who to attack, then the protection of the saint must be right. .

Even those who were too far away to hear the saint's voice were moved closer to the saint by their companions and the news that spread like the wind.

And even those who were too far away to receive the news knew something more or less, so they were shaken.

In this way, the Barbarian Lions on the front line suddenly found that a large number of Andals surrounding them began to retreat and flee. Although the Barbarian Lions were a powerful mercenary group, they were still powerless in the face of being outnumbered.

"Escape for your lives!" Some mercenaries shouted, making the already bad morale even worse.

"Go back! Come back quickly!"

Chedik almost shouted angrily to the soldiers around him, but many people still ignored him at all and ran away without looking back.

"It's over, it's over, it's over."

After hitting the nearest soldier with a whip and still no one paid him any attention, Chedik couldn't help but say, with a look of great fear and loss after his dream was broken.

The battle line of the Barbarian Lions was thus dispersed, and some people knelt down and surrendered directly. Many of the people on both sides of the war were friends who worked together, but they were on different sides.

After all, the Barbarian Lions were also Gleicher's team back then, but they were won over by Chedik.

However, the premise is that you don't encounter the Dothraki. The centaurs don't care whether they are friends or not. They will just rush in and kill indiscriminately. The centaurs keep emitting warm war cries. Even if they lose a large number of comrades, the morale of the centaurs remains. Not wavering.

The leader of the centaurs, Fargo, held a scimitar in one hand and a human head in the other, charging towards them in a completely lifeless manner.

"The Seven Gods will definitely protect us! Comrades, don't worry about Statina's team and charge towards the Karen family!"

Little Gleicher was wearing heavy armor and charging in front of the front line. His whole body was covered with the blood of those who died under his men, but this young man did not have the slightest fear and was still shouting and fighting.

"Little Gretchen, don't rush so far, you fanatical fool!"

Bailan quickly grabbed his nephew. This kid's craziness was far beyond his expectation. If he really let him rush around, something might happen.

As a veteran who has worked hard on the battlefield for many years, it is not a problem to hold down a fanatical boy. However, even though he was held back, little Gleicher still struggled to continue rushing forward. Bylan controlled his arms and kept struggling. nephew, his whole body felt numb, and he once again felt violated that Gretchen would have such a son.

"This development is really interesting. The vase actually chose this time to resist. Could it be that she saw my plan? If so, this woman is not simple."

In the expeditionary force watching the battle from a height, Hu Ge commented that he did not expect to see such a big drama. The destruction of the rebel army was a given in his script, but this development was really unexpected.

But when he thought about it, he thought it was impossible, how could the woman be aware of his plan.

However, Hugo had strong emotions towards Statina. He originally viewed this woman as a beautiful vase, but now he changed his mind. Being able to do what he saw before him meant that this woman was anything but a vase.

Moreover, more importantly, Statina's actions and words solved a problem for him, that is, he did not have to bear the bitter consequences of attacking friendly forces and betraying friendly forces. The most troublesome factor in this attack, the Saint, was betrayed. Those slave owners, then he only needs to eliminate the slave owners, and everything will fall into place.

If Statina were in front of him, Hugo might kiss her uncontrollably. This would really solve a big problem for himself!

"Lord Hu Ge, since the most troublesome saint is no longer a problem now, let's charge. It only takes one charge and the slave owner will be finished!"

Jillian next to Hugo made a suggestion. Lannister's eyes were burning with fighting intent, but his brother Tyget just put down his visor silently.

"Yes, Lord Hugo, we can win immediately!" Someone else said, this is Grandon Silver Axe. This nobleman's eyes were burning with strong fighting spirit, "We can be like His Majesty Robert in the Summer Hall. That way, you can win a hearty victory!”

"Well, it should start now. The slave owner's army seems to be weak. It's time to end this chaos."

Hu Ge pulled out his sword. Seeing this, everyone present put down their visors and drew their weapons. "Follow the original arrangement. Don't conflict with each other. We must achieve maximum destruction."

After saying this, Hu Ge took the lead and rushed out. The people who were full of fighting spirit due to the fighting at their feet were now extremely restless and immediately followed Hu Ge.

"It's here! It's finally here!"

Warrian, who was commanding his own soldiers to resist Gleicher's army, saw the expeditionary force coming like a wave from the foothills. Warrian almost cried for a moment. He didn't expect to see the adventurer's face. I was so moved when I was in the army.

Immediately, he continued to curse Statina angrily in his heart. This rebellious woman did not play her role well, but betrayed them here. It seemed that she really wanted to die. After this battle, he must Get a dozen big men to gang-rape this damn woman.

However, when Vorian was cursing continuously, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why were the adventurer's army rushing towards him?

Looking at the Karuner army getting closer and closer, Hugo, who was galloping on horseback, had a smile on his face. These soldiers thought they were allies and did not make any response to the enemy at all. They showed their backs defenselessly. in front of yourself.

However, before Kaluner's department, there was an army belonging to other slave owners in Twin Star City. This slave owner thought that by placing his troops further back, he could avoid many casualties, but now, the expeditionary force was running towards him.

The Lannister cavalry first crushed the slave owner's army, and the lion's cavalry easily ran through the slave owner's team. These infantry were either guards of the manor or stewards who suppressed the slaves, as well as a small number of former slaves who had gained free status, and The mercenaries recruited had no fighting spirit in the first place, so the attack of the cavalry in front of them naturally collapsed at the first touch.

As the Lannister dispersed the useless slave owner army in front, the troops of the Karen family also appeared in front of Hugo. The army of the Karen family was different from the trash they just faced. They were well-equipped and well-trained. Being more knowledgeable needs to be faced seriously.

Hugo took the lead and entered the camp of the Kaluner army. His horse knocked over the soldier who was caught off guard at the front, and then trampled on it mercilessly. Then Hugo kept slashing left and right, letting his sword fall on the timidly retreating infantry. As they retreated, a gap in the enemy's line immediately appeared, and a large number of expeditionary cavalry poured in.

These Karen soldiers never expected that the expeditionary force, which they regarded as their saviors, would ruthlessly insert daggers into their backs.

The Karuner infantry cannot be considered strong. They are a qualified infantry, but that's all. Even if the elite infantry faces the heavy cavalry head-on, it will be difficult to stop them, let alone them, and these infantry are still on the back. Engage the enemy.

Like facing a torrent of sand, the Karuner army melted and disintegrated rapidly. Some people tried to escape from this killing field, but in the end they were nailed to the ground by knights on war horses. Hugo roamed the Kaluner army like no one was in a desert, and the people of the expeditionary army were even more so. "Long live the Seven Gods" and "For the Seven Gods", as well as various ethnic languages ​​​​and city names came and went. .

Many people in the expeditionary force became fanatical. Such unscrupulous maneuvers among the enemy's array ignited the emotions of many people, and people shouting and fighting could be seen everywhere.

Hugo saw Bonifer, the man who controlled the public funds of the expeditionary force, leading his hundred-man jihadist group to the front. He captured three enemy flags in a row, and the Karen soldiers fled in front of him.

An Andal warrior challenged him, but he was defeated by Bonifer in a blink of an eye. Bonifer's skill with a lance was so proficient that few people could stand in front of him.

Seeing this, Hu Ge was not to be outdone. As a favored person of the gods and the core of the expeditionary force, how could he be weaker than his subordinates? This thought drove Hu Ge to rush towards the nearest flag holder and snatch the military flag. Come down.

The expeditionary force watched the show on the foothills for a long time. They recuperated for a long time, and the fighting power burst out from the Kalun soldiers without reservation.

After the cavalry, a large number of expeditionary infantry also followed. They were like locusts, flooding the land that was in a mess after being attacked by the cavalry.

However, compared to the elite knights, most of the infantry of the expeditionary force were like beggars, with most of their equipment incomplete and some holding shields made of door panels. After all, more than half of them were infantry organized by strong men.

After boarding the battlefield, some of these strong infantrymen immediately began to loot corpses on the battlefield, but soon they continued to follow the large troops under the shouts of officers and priests.

The only ones who looked decent were the lord's family soldiers and the barbarians of the Crab Claw Peninsula. The former were considered professional soldiers, while the latter had learned what was more important on the battlefield during the endless conflicts on the Crab Claw Peninsula.

In normal times, this would definitely be fatal for a large number of infantry, but now it is a smooth battle. The infantry only needs to follow the cavalry and drive the enemy away with the cavalry.

As the expeditionary force advanced at an unstoppable pace, soon the old and unwilling face of Varian Kallen appeared in front of Hugo.

Hu Ge could see that there was reluctance, pain, and dissatisfaction on that face. Finally, determination appeared on the guy's face. He put the dagger on his neck, but just when he was about to stab it, Hu Ge put his hand He threw the sword away and knocked the dagger away, cutting the guy by the way and leaving him sitting on the ground in embarrassment.

Even in such a bad environment, the loyal guards of the Karen family bravely faced Hugo's team. However, with the swing of Hugo's sword, they all fell under Hugo's sword. As for the others, their front line They were dispersed as soon as they were rushed by the expeditionary force.

When a person makes up his mind to face death but survives, his fear will explode immediately. This is the case with Vorian. The slave owner now only has fear in his heart, the fear of dying just a short distance away.

"Surrender, I surrender." Looking at the dagger on the side, Warrian lost his courage and hurriedly rushed towards Hugo and knelt down.

"Tie him up." Hugo just ordered, "Let's keep moving forward. Don't let the slave owner's army have any possibility of organizing. Keep moving forward!"

"Yes!" Countless voices with strong fighting spirit responded to Hugo. They all knew that the killing time had just begun.

The forces of the Karuner family were torn apart like this, Vorian risked everything for Pentos' plan, and now, the foundation of their family's survival has been shattered.

The collapse of the Karen family also represents the collapse of the slave owners. The battle has come to an end, and the loyal believers of the Seven Gods have won.

The battlefield after the war will always be full of corpse raiders active in the corpse pile, digging out all available items, and crows jumping around in the corpses, devouring eyeballs one by one. As the old saying goes, after the war, human beings Collecting steel, crows eat eyeballs.

"Gleicher, come here, let your father take a good look at you." On the battlefield, Gretchel finally saw his son with the same name. The moment he saw his son, Gretchen almost shed tears.

"Father, it's me. I'm glad you're in the right cause. I've also heard that you have to go through seven penances to atone for your sins, which is really great."

Little Gleicher was also very happy, but the happy aspect was different from his father. He was even more happy that Gleicher had finally taken the right path and finally broken with that damned slavery.

Little Gretchel's words made Bylan feel ashamed. What did this kid say? But Gretl'chel didn't care at all. In front of his son, he didn't show the slightest gloom. He looked like a father who had gone through hardships and finally met his son.

Gleicher has always been very tolerant towards his son. He was busy with business matters for a long time, so he neglected his son's education, so that he became a fanatic who believed in the Seven Gods and had a strong belief in slavery. Disliked, but even so, he still indulged his son. If little Gretchel wanted to embark on the path of faith, then go ahead. He still had the ability to let his son do what he wanted to do.

However, little Gleicher could not see his father's painstaking efforts. In the past, he always criticized his father's slave-catching behavior and even had conflicts with Gleicher.

However, fortunately, as he grew up and came into contact with some things, he was not so radical. However, his original intention never changed. He still hated slavery deeply, still couldn't understand everything his father did, and was not even willing to inherit his father's legacy. cause.

Therefore, after Gleicher sent a letter stating that he would stand with the expeditionary force, abolish slavery, and repent for his crimes with seven confessions, little Gleicher was very happy, extremely happy. .

In response to her son's words, Gretchen just smiled and said, "Okay, let's deal with the aftermath of the war. I once taught you that even if you win, you can't relax too much."

"Of course, I understand." Little Gleicher said, and then ran over immediately. Only Gleicher and Byland were left here.

"This time we are standing on the opposite side of almost all the Free Trade Cities. Gleicher, are you sure you made the right choice this time? Last time you vowed that we would take the right path, the men of Pentos directly Betrayed us."

Different from the complete joy of little Gleicher, Byland's words were full of worry. Gleicher's last painful experience was still vivid in his mind. What could the new master he found this time bring to them? What kind of future?

"Bailan, this experience has made me understand one thing."

Gleicher did not answer Byland immediately, but brought up a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with the exchange.

"What?" Bailan was naturally puzzled. Why did he suddenly mention this?

"I am not a person with the courage and ability to lead everyone forward, so I have to rely on others and walk on the path drawn by others. The goal I set for myself was to become a member of Pentos, but they didn't want me , in this case, then I will not take this road, and since this road is closed to me, I can only choose the opposite road."

Byland said nothing. He understood the subtext of Gleicher's words: they only had this way to go, that's all.

"So, Bailan, I think you have no doubts. Come back and burn all the debts in the manor for me, and then sign a more reasonable contract with them. Isn't it just to give more benefits?"

"Let's make some profits... You said it so lightly. For our family, this is not as simple as some profits." During this period of time in power, Bylan saw a lot of things, and also made him understand that if all those debts were burned, If so, what impact will it have?

"We can eventually come out. What we pay now and what we can gain in the future are just a drop in the bucket." Gleicher said firmly.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. By the way, you have to go through the seven confessions. Are you sure you can bear it? Oh, and also, that guy Chedik is dead. It seems that he was trampled to death in the rebellion. ”

"It's easier for him, otherwise I will let him understand how I deal with traitors. As for confession, I have endured the more difficult things. Just seven confessions are nothing." Gleicher's face was full of indifference, but his forehead The beads of sweat on his face showed that he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface, "I can handle it. I can guarantee that there will be no problem."

Seeing that his brother-in-law was like this, Byland didn't say much. He just patted his shoulder and walked aside, leaving Gleicher alone to look at the battlefield in front of him.

Gleicher looked at a broken crown flag planted on the ground, kicked it, and completely trampled the flag under his feet. Then he smiled and left here.

.

To be honest, this battle was very baffling for many soldiers. The rebels who were originally meant to assist became enemies who needed to be attacked, and the slave owners who were originally meant to be attacked became allies.

However, when the God's Favorite from the Expeditionary Army and the Saint from the Rebel Army explained this chaotic battle, everyone understood. No one doubted the words of these two people. They were people favored by the Seven Gods.

After the victory, the two armies naturally joined forces and held a grand banquet. These people who were suspicious of each other yesterday were now feasting and having fun with each other without any gaps. I have to say that banquets and entertainment are truly worthy of resolving human hatred. The most effective channel to deal with dissatisfaction.

Whether it's the slave owners in Elysium, the expeditionary force in Westeros, or the Andals in the river valley, when the wine glasses are raised, those hatreds are temporarily forgotten.

However, the leaders of the two armies were not as relaxed and leisurely as below. After appearing at the banquet, they hid behind the scenes. There was still a lot to discuss.

"Gleicher, are you sure you want it so fast? I can indeed arrange it for you tomorrow, but are you sure you can hold on?"

Looking at Gretchen and his son, Hugo asked again. Gretl's temperament was not as gloomy as before.

As for little Gretchen, he looked at Hugo with eyes full of admiration. Hugo had seen this kind of fanatical look from devout believers. He did not expect that Gretl would have such a son.

"Lord Hugo, this is what the Tite family must do if they want to truly become a member of the expeditionary force. I have ordered the liberation of the slaves. Now I must go through seven confessions so that the Tite family's sins can be truly washed away."

Looking at the father and son in front of him, Hugo was secretly stunned. Gleicher treated him so cruelly. Hugo originally thought that he would gradually downplay the seven confessions. After all, with all the resources Gleicher brought, , enough to get him some privileges, but he is still determined to do so.

And Gretchel's words were not finished yet, "Lord Hugo, I still have a suggestion. My son, Gretl, has admired you for a long time. Therefore, I am here to ask you to let my son become your attendant."

Even Proton proposed so proactively, Hugo continued to sigh in his heart, Gleicher really spent a lot of money to get on his ship, but it was okay, he needed such a local snake, if he could only use the Lord of the Hills, in the future How he checks and balances all parties in Andas.

"I agreed."

Others were so proactive, so what reason did Hu Ge have to refuse?

Little Gleicher's expression was one of surprise at first. His father had never mentioned this matter to him. Then he was uneasy. He hoped to become the attendant of the God's Favorite, but he was also afraid that the God's Favorite would look down on him. Finally, he just couldn't stand it at all. Unable to hide the excitement and joy.

"Go down, Gretchel, and calm down your son. I don't need a servant who is not rational enough." Looking at little Gretchel's almost jumping posture, Hugo said quickly, letting the young man People can go out and have a good time.

The two Gretchers retreated after being ordered to do so. Hugo rubbed his temples, and then showed a very serious expression, because the person he was going to see next was very important, and he had to brace himself to greet him.

She is the saint of the river valley, Statina Vali.

When the Saint of the River Valley walked in, Hugo was able to take a really good look at the person who was stirring up trouble in Andas.

First of all, Hu Ge has to admit that the saint is very beautiful, which easily reminds people of the description of the "girl" in the "Seven Star Bible". She exudes a strong self-confidence. When Hu Ge's eyes met the blue When he looked at his eyes, he didn't see any timidity in them.

Hu Ge didn't care if he underestimated the person in front of him, but she was a woman who could find opportunities to win over outside forces even though she was under strict supervision. Moreover, this woman also made a huge bet through clues. If she was just used as a vase, she would definitely have to pay a price. .

"Ms. Statina, I think this is our first conversation." Hugo looked into her eyes, "Can you tell me why you did that on the battlefield?"

Hugo didn't hesitate, he spoke very directly, and Statina smiled sweetly. That smile made Hugo subconsciously feel a sense of suffocation - but only for a moment.

"Hello, Mr. Hu Ge, you are really not a gentleman, you are too direct. How can you ask a lady so directly?"

Statina didn't feel any nervousness when facing Hugo. Instead, she acted very casually. It was completely different from the vase-like feeling during the last meeting. "However, since you are so direct, then I will also be more direct. I I didn’t want to be my father’s puppet. I never wanted to be this saint. They forced me to do it. At first, I just wanted to be an ordinary lay believer in Andas, but they didn’t give me a chance. I was prepared for this. For a long time, I thought this battle was an opportunity, so I took action, and the results proved that my decision was correct."

Under Statina's frankness, Hugo became the one who was caught off guard. She seemed very frank and obviously relied on her. In a flash, Hugo also thought of what she relied on: among the Andals, She is still the saint of the river valley, which represents her capital and her strength. This is an important reason why she is not afraid to sit here.

Seeing Statina looking at him seriously and meeting a smart person again, Hu Ge thought in his heart, but this is also good, it saves a lot of communication time, and then just negotiate the conditions directly.

"Then, Ms. Statina, let me be honest. I still need your help, I need your reputation, and I need the Andal warriors under your influence. In return, you are still the saint of the river valley. In this game After the war is over, you will also receive land that matches your status.”

If it were not an enemy, Hu Ge would not mind sharing some of the glory of the Seven Gods. However, the prerequisite for him to be willing to share some was that the person facing him was a woman. If it was a man, then Hu Ge would definitely have to worry a lot.

Moreover, Statina's situation is simply the best choice for him to marry. If he can marry her, then many of the problems caused by his status as an outsider will definitely be resolved.

However, it is not convenient to mention the marriage directly now. It would be too abrupt. Even if some things are so naked, dignity must be taken into consideration.

"That would be great, Lord Hugo." Statina showed a charming smile, "Then I will also give you a gift. You know that the Pentos people are preparing an army, but you don't You know, where this army will be sent, and I can solve that problem for you.”

"Oh?"

"My father knows Valerion's plan. I only need you to cooperate with me, a little trick, and I can know from my father where the Pentos army will be sent."

Hugo didn't care much about Statina's words, "There's no need for you, madam, in the hands of my torture officer, he will spit it out soon."

"My father is not someone who will succumb to torture, Lord Hugo." Statina said, and then she stood up, "But since you are so sure, let's talk about it after you have tried it."
