The lord is red again

Dorothy had been staying in the upstairs room of the tavern for the past two days.

The queen did not invite them to stay in the palace. The explanation given was that the chaos at the time caused some houses to collapse. At present, all forces were concentrated on rebuilding the walls and roads of Goliath, so the palace could only be postponed.

The dilapidated palace could not accommodate guests.

But Dorothy knew very well that being treated coldly was probably related to her poor performance in the palace, and she could do nothing about it.

She thought that Linde was exaggerating and was a flatterer who tried to control the queen to control the entire Rand Kingdom. Of course, he would not have a good tone.

With nowhere to go, they could only stay in the tavern.

Fortunately, they could enjoy the treatment of nobles by spending money here, and Dorothy was very happy to eat.

"How did Linde prepare weapons?" Dorothy (3_3) gently wiped her glasses.

The kitten jumped off her knees and meowed towards William at the door of the room.

Dorothy was very concerned about things related to Linde. She did not believe that Linde was really willing to selflessly donate so many military supplies.

Moreover, this expeditionary force will gather thousands of undeads, and their appetites are not so easy to satisfy.

"He didn't give it." William bent down and picked up the cat.

"What?" Dorothy didn't think that Linde would break his promise. The Duke's reputation is more important than property, and she didn't think that Linde would not be unaware of the characteristics of the undead. There is no benefit in angering the greedy and crazy undead.

William continued: "The soldiers we arranged to participate in the expeditionary force have received allowances, weapons and clothes, but he gave the undead something else."

"What?"

"A kind of voucher, which can be used to buy things in the store at a low price."

"What store?" Dorothy felt that she must have missed something.

"The only benefit of the undead joining the expeditionary force is that they have the qualifications to buy the weapons and equipment sold by Linde at a high price."

"Ah?"

Not to mention Dorothy was confused, even William is still confused now.

This is not just a free-for-all. I won't give you what I should give you now, but let you fight and pay you, and then buy it after you get your salary.

"The undead agreed?" Dorothy thought that the possibility of the undead agreeing was not very high.

"Those weapons and equipment are all good stuff." William commented, and he was also envious of some of the armor.

It's not that Linde didn't bleed, he really cut his flesh and bled a lot.

"We can't get those things from Griffin Castle." William's last sentence made Dorothy fall silent.

Dorothy always felt that something was wrong, but she reluctantly believed that Linde was really dedicated to dealing with the Great Rift and voluntarily spent all his wealth.

Such a huge amount of wealth made her feel terrible and even more heartbroken.

From the perspective of the nobles, wars should not be fought in the way that Linde spent all his wealth. No matter who the enemy is, the war should be for profit. If you can't get richer and richer, then the war should not be provoked from the beginning.

But Linde's selfless attitude changed Dorothy's concept of Linde.

The expeditionary force is about to set off, and the soldiers are responsible for logistics, while the undead who have no organization and discipline stand lazily aside.

Dorothy will not go to the front, she wants to go back to Griffin Castle.

At present, the Griffin family has not paid much, just some undead who are not obedient, and they will come back in the end. Apart from that, there are only dozens of soldiers.

When Dorothy put on her glasses, she saw William wearing a brand new armor and carrying a secret sword: "Where did you get these?"

"General Linde gave it to me!" William replied.

"Linde?" Dorothy had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, she heard William say: "Yes, Dorothy, I won't go back to Griffin Castle with you, I'm going to fight on the front line!"

"This is different from what we agreed." Dorothy was a little anxious.

On the front line, they can send other knights instead of letting a "Griffin" take the risk.

Bastards are also brothers and sisters, and blood relatives transcend everything.

But William was very serious: "The general promised to let me be the deputy captain of the assault team. I will go to the deepest part of the abyss!"

Dorothy kept shaking her head: "That's sending yourself to die!"

William said calmly without caring about life and death: "Maybe, but someone has to go deeper."

"Where is Linde? Didn't he say he would go to the front line too?" Dorothy asked. She had a worse and worse impression of Linde who put his brother in the most dangerous position.

"He is the captain of the assault team!"

Dorothy was silent.

Looking at William's expression, Dorothy knew that she couldn't persuade him back, so it was better to find Linde now.

When Dorothy walked out of the tavern with her skirt lifted, she saw a few familiar undead people. They took the initiative to say hello, but Dorothy saw more things. She found that these undead people all had lion badges on them, which was Alman's family emblem.

It's bad. Not only was her brother pried away by Linde, but even the undead people all chose to be loyal to Linde in a very short time. When they came, they were sure of victory, but when they went back, they might become lonely.

She bit her lower lip lightly and got on the carriage.

The road was smooth, and the horse trail was the first to be rebuilt to ensure normal passage and material transportation.

When arriving at Alman Manor, the carriage was stopped.

After the notification, the carriage was soon allowed to enter. Dorothy went to the living room of the manor under the guidance of the housekeeper. Many rooms were blocked, and only this room was open.

She sat down and found a portrait hanging on the wall.

It was a weak and frail boy.

Just as Dorothy was staring at the portrait, Lind's voice came from behind: "I was 17 years old, Boyd helped me draw it, it looks like two people, right?"

She turned around and saw Lind who was already wearing armor.

Compared with the elegant look when they met in the palace last time, Lind now looked full of oppression, and the ferocious armor was like the fangs and claws of a lion.

Lind walked to the portrait, then turned around and looked at Dorothy.

It was like the young him and the young him were in the same time and space, the immaturity disappeared, but it was more like two completely different people.

"You let William go to the Big Rift?"

"He wanted to go there himself." Lind walked to the table and poured a glass of wine for Dorothy.

But after finding that Dorothy shook her head, he raised his head and drank it himself.

Not wasting is his principle, always the same.

"You can't let him go."

"Okay."

Looking at Lind who agreed decisively, Dorothy opened her mouth: "You agreed?"

"He wants to join the expeditionary force," Lind said, "I didn't ask him to join. If you can let him go back, I have no objection."

Dorothy clenched her fists. She thought Lind really agreed to help. It turned out that he had seen through William's character and knew that William would never leave.

"Only today!" Lind put down the wine glass, "The army will set out tomorrow. If he wants to leave again, he will be treated as a deserter."

He has already got the potion formula, and Lind really doesn't care what will happen to the protagonist of that version.

A heroic knight cannot influence the situation of the war.

Dorothy's favorability towards Lind, which did not exist to begin with, has once again decreased, but she has no choice but to stare at Lind twice more.

Griffin Castle did not take out anything to participate in the expedition except the undead.

By bringing back the undead, let Lind compromise?

Dorothy knew she couldn't do it at all.

Although those undeads have no loyalty at all, if they accept the "mission", they will not fear death and will be extremely loyal.

This is really bad.
