She Is Not a Witch

The western border of the empire, Oakshield 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 the envy of the nearby lords.

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

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

Now, after leaving the Griffon Land, the capital of the western region, Jaylann took his knights all the way southward, sending messengers to inform those lords who might support him, and gathered in the Oak Shield Land in the south.

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

Below the castle is a large plain near the river valley, where some recently harvested wheat fields are distributed, and some haystacks that have not been transported away can still 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 are many ups and downs on the dry dirt road, and the carriage full of haystacks seems to be a little unstable. It wobbles and creaks along the way, slowly moving towards the distant village.

A little bit of gravel and mud were 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 am afraid that some merchants will occasionally come to the town to sell some gadgets that I have never seen before. I heard that those are all produced 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.

"Has Adi not come back yet?" Nong Han asked the woman, and the Adi they said was their son.

"He was called to train by Li Weiwei 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."

"It's a 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 few dollars."

"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 rich." 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 used to have a younger brother, 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. At that time, I wanted to be a soldier, but no one wanted me."

"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 a chance." Nong Han felt less hungry after eating a few pieces of cake, 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've heard that the south side seems to be fine."

"South?"

"Well, do you still remember, I have a cousin who was 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 jar 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 a worker in the southern border, and can support the whole family. My cousin has four children, and now she takes care of the children at home every day. You don’t have to go out to work anymore, it’s very easy.”

"Ha, is it so good? It shouldn't be a lie, just like in those years, the master who recruited soldiers said that the empire was victorious at the front, 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, the masters would have already taken it first." After finishing speaking, the farmer lay down on the kang beside him, This is more comfortable.

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

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

"Who would buy such an expensive thing just to deceive people, and even entrust a caravan along the way to deliver it?"

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

"well…"

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

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

There was silence in the room 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 it's far away, in the richer counties in the north. I heard them talk 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."

"well…"

"It would be great if Adi can be selected. If he joins the army and gets the method of practice, he might be a genius. When he has a Sequence 5, even the master knights in the town will nod and bow when he sees it."

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

"Haha, you woman thinks pretty well. It's farther than what I thought when I was young. I was just dreaming at the time. I thought that I could have a Sequence 3 and be a captain, so I could steal the limelight."

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

When the farmer couple were talking slowly at home, there was a rush of horseshoes rushing across the road outside the village. The hoofs made of fine steel hit the ground and made a trembling sound, while the friction of the metal armor The sound is reminiscent of many.

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

"That was just now?"

"I don't know, I just heard the voice come out."

"It should be the cavalry, no, it is the knights, the sound of the armor and horseshoes is too heavy, and ordinary 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' by the field and saw those knight masters passing by. I can say that this is the most powerful knight master I have ever seen."

"How is it so powerful?"

"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 The round shield hanging on one 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 said, this is no 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. His family has their own cavalry, but you usually don't see them, 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. The formation was as mighty as possible. They were all wearing silver armor and their family's coat of arms. Burqa."

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

"It seems not. The lords of our western region obeyed the order of the Duke of Griffin and did not go to the front line. They just ceased fighting and deployed defenses on the border."

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

"Haha, you boy, I will 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 they are not allowed to buy or sell casually."

"Is it a 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. 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, it's better to take a chance."

"Then what if we lose? It's the master's business to lose. We have a lot of mountains, so it's good to hide in the mountains for a while. Anyway, we don't have much wheat at home. I'm just afraid that if the master loses, he will not be able to pay the tax." up, alas."

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

Viscount Robertson's Castle.

At the time when the lights should be turned off in the past, the lights are brightly lit at this moment, 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 reflection 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 little 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 by the window sill of the castle, Overlook the small town and fields below, as well as the scattered villages.

Not long 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 this 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 his head.

Although this generation of Viscount Robertson 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 joins 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 my family members, I can easily tie them to our chariot. This way, it is very easy even without killing. Securely 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.

"That's up to you, Grace."

"No problem, Your Highness."

"Well, let Trask and Lindon follow you. They both carry holy swords and are 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 region 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 ~www.readwn.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 also followed, holding their torches high, rushing into the cold in the night.

After the allied team set off, the castle was still lit. Some armor and weapons piled up 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 order spread throughout the villages and towns in the territory, and the teams that used to patrol the mountains and the militia guards from all over the place will be summoned.

Receive training, distribute armor and weapons, and prepare 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, but 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.
