Heart of the Castle

Chapter 785

If there is anything more frightening than Queen Fleischer embracing Sir Rodriguez, it is that the black armored knight actually hugged Her Majesty back, and at the same time said in his hoarse and cold voice, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment Just a moment, you will scare a lot of people who don't know."

"Then scare them!" Although half of Queen Fleischer's tone was joking, the other half seemed extremely serious, "But this armor is really uncomfortable, Master Frederick , can't the magic you cast be dispelled in advance?"

Mr. Dish, who finally put on the magician's robe again, stroked his snow-white beard, and replied in a somewhat apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, in order to prevent the magic from being dispelled by brute force, I'm trying to break the magic spell. The alchemy ceremony was used in the process, so...I am afraid that Master Li Wei can only maintain this image for a while."

Grunwalm looked at Queen Frasier with a somewhat depressed expression in confusion, and then turned to look at Regent Liviston standing behind Her Majesty the Queen. For a moment, he was a little confused about what he had just heard. mean.From the conversation between Her Majesty the Queen and Master Frederick, it seems that Li Wei is the knight in black armor, but who is this regent?
"That's fine." Regent Levi Stone, standing behind Her Majesty the Queen, said slowly, "Master Levi's safety is always our concern, but if I use my image, those demons should not take the risk. Are you reckless to come here and ask for trouble?"

A brisk and joyful note came from outside the tent, and then the blond bard Rist Robinson opened the curtain with a lyre in his arms, and walked into the tent with a smile on his face, "Sir Rodriguez, your image is really beautiful. Very deterrent, the evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, dared to talk about conditions with me, but as long as Master Li Wei snorted coldly in your tone, that guy would immediately lower his requirements obediently."

"In any case, death knights are more unreasonable than blazing angels." Mr. Dish nodded in agreement with a smile, and at the same time said in a low voice, "It's like Kuximo, the eternal sleep guide, who is more unreasonable than the lord of light, Flandala. Difficult to deal with."

This conversation made at least half of the team leaders participating in the military meeting speechless. It was hard for them to believe their eyes, but when the big crow jumped on the shoulder of the black armored knight briskly, and then used his When the helmet sharpened their sharp beaks, they finally believed what they saw.His Excellency the Regent's various abnormal behaviors before were also recalled. Although they were disguised to a certain extent, it was true that his personality was closer to that of Sir Rodriguez.

After a brief conversation, Levi Stern—now in the image of the Scourge—and Queen Fleischer returned to the middle of the tent and sat down, while the real Sir Rodriguez—now in the appearance of the young regent— —As usual, he stood behind the two with his hands on the hilt of his sword.This strange dislocation made many people seem very uncomfortable, but the important ministers of the kingdom, including the Marquis of Osiris and the head of Bamilian, remained calm.

Bamilian, the head of the palace who participated in the expedition as the master of the Sleepless Eye, was responsible for the analysis and explanation of intelligence at the military conference. For this expedition, the head of the palace also gave up his hobby of silk robes and smearing face powder, and put on a A studded leather armor that is more ornamental than defensive, a huge rose blooms on his right shoulder, and a prickly stalk coils around his heart.

"Everyone, please look, this is the topographic map of the Blade Rift Valley and the surrounding area of ​​the Holy White Rock Fortress." Director Bamilian knocked on the crystal ball in front of him, and then the light curtain unfolded, transmitting a three-dimensional image to everyone's eyes. "The Blade Rift Valley is an important pass in the south of Fermeyer, the capital of the Wing Guard King. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The cliffs on both sides are like knives. The narrow place at the bottom of the valley can only accommodate two fully armed knights riding side by side. , if it is replaced by heavy infantry, there can be no more than four people at most, which is very disadvantageous for the attacking side."

Not only is it very unfavorable, it is simply a desperate terrain.Although Grunwalm had never actually commanded a battle, he had at least carefully studied many battle cases and related analysis, so he was able to infer the difficulty of attacking this fortress from the dangerous terrain emerging from the light curtain.

To say it was a nightmare is probably not enough to describe it.

"My lord, what about the guarding power of the Holy White Rock Fort?" A rude voice sounded, loud as if it was thunder, and Grun Worm didn't even need to cast his eyes to know who was speaking. It must be Glen Worm, the Iron Fist Knight.

Manager Bamilian smiled disapprovingly, and then gracefully turned his palm over, and the image displayed on the light curtain above the crystal ball changed accordingly, from a panoramic view to a close-up of the Holy White Stone Fort.

"Sir Clever Mouth reported just now that about [-] to [-] demon troops have been assembled in the Holy White Rock Castle. Considering the narrow terrain of the Blade Rift Valley, this is a rather large number. In addition, there are several elite troops Team, if the commander of the demon defenders has some brains, we will deploy a group of long-range attack troops on the cliffs on both sides of the Blade Rift, and we will have to risk fireballs and stones falling from the sky. Fight fiercely with the oncoming demons."

After Bamilian's words fell to the ground, no one spoke for a long time, and the knights present looked at each other. It's not that they were intimidated by Bamilian's words, but that they didn't know the information minister. Why do you talk about so many difficulties that can shake the morale of the army.

A few cheerful notes jumped out from the corner of the tent, and then the blond bard stood up and bowed slightly with a smile on his face, "Master Bamilian, this is really a wonderful statement of information, but I'm afraid you're intimidating It’s up to these brave knights.” His tone was full of sarcasm, but it was just right that it didn’t arouse anyone’s anger, “It is true that there are [-] demon defenders in the Holy White Stone Fort, but among them Most of them are troops fleeing from the Dark Fortress, and they have no morale at all. At the same time, they are also very clear about what role they are playing. As long as we can maintain a high-pressure situation, it will not be an effort at all to take back the Holy White Stone Fort matter."

More than one voice of relief echoed in the tent, and many knights had expressions of "that's how it is" on their faces. It was easier to win than imagined, and for most of the team leaders, it was a blessing. A very gratifying thing.

However, this does not include the ice dragon knight Grun Worm.

At the moment Rist Robinson expressed his conclusion, the young title knight suddenly felt a convulsion in his heart, "Recapturing the Holy White Stone Fort is not an effort, gods! If the evil disaster is so easy If it is terminated, then how should the name of me... Grunwalm be remembered by people? Could it be that I was allocated a small piece of barren land in a remote area and built a crooked castle when it was time to reward my meritorious deeds? , and then spend a lifetime dealing with farmers, servants, slick merchants, and usurers?"

Grun Worm subconsciously clenched the hilt of the Holy Sword Granite Heath, "This is not the life I want..." He said to himself silently, "I should have made achievements in the shadow of swords and swords, I should have It should shine in the blood! I am the one chosen by God, I should lead the army and become the master of this kingdom! Everyone should prostrate at my feet and shout my name reverently..."

"Grunworm!"

There was indeed a voice that called out the name of the young title knight, but the tone of it had nothing to do with piety, but seemed very surprised.

"Grunworm, what's wrong with you today?" The voice continued, "Your eyes don't even have focus, why do you seem to be immersed in a nightmare that you can't wake up from?"

"Ah... no, I, I'm fine." Grunwalm suddenly woke up, and when he raised his head, he realized that the entire tent was empty. The military meeting had already ended, and only himself and Yan were left in the huge tent. There are two round knight Wilps. "I'm really fine." Grun Worm showed a tired look, and replied in a low voice, "Master Wilps, I may be a little too tired. I was too excited because of the preparations for the expedition last night. As a result, I didn't get a good rest all night."

The head of the Wilps branch in fiery red armor couldn't help curling his lips, "Knight Grunworm, this is not the first time you have gone out with the army, even as a team leader now, you shouldn't look so silly Rough." Then he glanced at the magic hourglass placed in the middle of the tent, silently estimated the time, "There is about an hour and a half before we start again, Grun Worm, if it was me, I would take advantage of it Take this rare opportunity to take a nap."

"Yes, Lord Wilps, I'm going to take a nap now." Grunnorm replied gruffly, then stood up with a numb expression, crossed his right arm and tapped on the breastplate, "Then... please Let me take my leave first."

Looking at the back of the young knight who had served as his attendant for a while in a hurry, Wilps' eyes flashed with confusion, "It's really strange, the last time Dirk City was firmly besieged by an army of undead , I didn’t close my eyes for three days and three nights, and I didn’t see him exhausted like this?”

Flaming Wheel Knight's confusion didn't last long, because as the sub-group leader of the first Griffin group, he had a lot of things to consider, and he couldn't spend too much time worrying about the emotional instability of a group leader under him. above. "Let's talk to him when we camp at night." Wilps made a decision in this way, but within half an hour, the complicated things made him completely forget about it .
