Civilization Guardian Front

Hearing this, many people were stunned.

"Eldoriya actually participated in the competition?"

"Still eliminated in the group stage?"

They only knew that Eldrie was transferred back to the capital, and that the command of the Dadeherh surveillance fortress was handed over to the golden osmanthus knight Alice a few days later, but they didn't know that the above-mentioned episode happened in the middle.

"Yes."

Earl Jobst sat upright and continued:

"It is said that Sir Eldoriya was specially called back to Centoria by Guinila to test the champion. Judging from Guinila's favorable attitude towards the champion after the match, this statement is not entirely unfounded According to. That's why I said that there is a reason for the special mention of this person's appearance. Think about it carefully, so far, this person has been involved with at least three women of high status. Is it just a coincidence? ?"

Chapter 920 Three? A woman with a story is the most interesting

"You can go."

Raising his hand to signal the new members to move freely, Chios turned and walked towards the edge of the eaves.

clatter...

Falling from the six-meter-high roof, the movement caused by touching the ground is as light as stepping on a small step.

Compared with Chios, Hasasaki and others are not so chic.

In order not to break their legs, they could only climb the eaves with their hands, step on the protruding footholds with their toes, and climb down two floors carefully before finally letting go and jumping back to the ground.

Safe, but not aesthetically pleasing.

Who made them misunderstand before, so they had to bite the bullet and go up to the roof together with him...

Looking back, Chios smiled lightly, and quickly glanced at the members of the regiment who left with depressed faces. Facing the slightly dazzling sunlight, they looked at the main castle building in the central square.

It is estimated that in the near future, someone from the noble alliance will come to find him.

Chios didn't expect those powerful lords to focus on him because of a competitive match.He knew very well that the intersection of himself with the archbishop, the chief knight, the Duke of Miche and even Lord Soltilina was the key factor that allowed him to enter the vision of the Western elite.

The battle between the noble alliance and the faction supported by the archbishop has been expressed successively by the noble lords in various places. Now that there are very few neutrals left, it can be said that it is only one step away from the conflict coming to the surface and a military confrontation.

It's just that at this stage, neither side is fully sure of winning, and because of the lack of a justifiable pretext for war, there has been no large-scale military conflict.

Beneath the surface of peace is already a raging undercurrent.

The two factions are wary of each other.

Any personnel dispatch or military deployment may be a precursor to war.

In the recent incidents, there are at least two things that are enough to attract the attention of the noble alliance...

The Grand Master of the Knights Templar takes over command of Dedhay Fortress.

The Duke of Michigan had an audience with the archbishop, suspected of joining a faction.

If we look at these two things together, it is easy to lead to the judgment that there is a relationship between the two.

The Dadehead Surveillance Fortress is located in the western part of the Earl of Renateville, leaning against the Celine Mine in the north, occupying a dangerous position, like a dagger inserted in the middle of the Longvira Plain, guarding the passage into and out of the hinterland of the Theocracy.Among the [-] garrisons, there are [-] knights and armed followers, who can not only flank the passing enemy troops, but also detour to the rear to cut off supplies.

If the noble alliance wants to send troops to the east, it must first remove this stronghold.Similarly, if the archbishop's faction wants to attack the west, it will definitely send troops and import supplies to Dadehaven's surveillance fortress.

So, what prompted the archbishop to make the decision to replace the fortress guard in recent days...

Is it because the Duke of Michigan has secretly taken refuge in the archbishop, giving the archbishop the confidence to go to war?

Or maybe the archbishop guessed that doing so would make the decision-makers of the noble alliance have doubts, so he cast doubts?

Since there is no way of knowing the answer for the time being, considering the worst possibility, the Alliance of Nobles should hope to attack the Duke of Michigan as soon as possible, and solve this worry once and for all before the north poses a threat.

Although he doesn't know what means will be taken, Chios believes that Duke Orudana will take action in the near future.

And at this time, he, who has been in contact with the Duke of Michigan and the chief knight at the same time, will become a valuable source of information that cannot be ignored, and even a bait for carrying out a conspiracy.

Therefore, Chios is not worried that the noble alliance will not come to him.

The only thing he needs to consider is how to win the trust of the western lords.

Even if he left the central capital and came to the fortress city, it revealed to a certain extent that there was a rift between him and the archbishop, but this alone was not enough.

Having a close personal relationship with Alice, it is destined that it will be difficult for him to be accepted by the noble alliance in a short period of time.

People with no power and power have only loyalty as a bargaining chip. Once they are suspected in this regard, they will be unable to move a single step.

Therefore, first of all, you have to show your strength to let those nobles understand how much loss will be caused by underestimating his value...

Chios concluded inwardly.

Winning the championship in the competitive competition is just laying the foundation. From now on, he will set up more dazzling military feats on the border, using hundreds or thousands of corpses to pile up a monument of honor.

Touching the hilt of the sword at his waist, he sensed his desire to kill, and the Godslayer Demon Sword vibrated, expressing his excitement.

Chios turned his head and met the priests recruited at Shirley's Tavern last night.

The breeze blew by, bringing the young girl over her left shoulder, tied with a white ribbon, and her long blue hair, like tassels, swaying gently in front of the priest's robe.

There was no expression on the girl's upright and beautiful face.

It was like being frozen by an invisible thin layer of ice.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the money is well spent." Keo Stein said.

Such a beautiful girl is willing to follow her all day long for the employment fee of two silver coins.

To be precise, inviting the other party to join the team doesn't even cost money, the cost is only one-sixth of the adventure spoils, which is the amount allocated to each person when the normal team is full.

However, since Chios is a silver-ranked volunteer soldier, even after one adventure, even if distributed according to the above method, one-sixth of the profit is still too much, so a fixed fee was charged instead.

"It's you, why don't you seize the opportunity to make more money?"

"...I am not qualified to ask for more." After a brief silence, the girl said:

"I know there are very limited things I can do for you. The only thing I have to do is to protect myself and not become a burden."

"fair enough..."

She lowered her gaze, supported her slender arm with one hand, and said in an extremely thin voice.

"Hmm..."

Chios stared with interest at the girl's slightly out-of-focus eyes with a hint of melancholy.

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but it seems that for you at present, the money in your hand is enough to keep you alive, and a life that is too good will make you miserable."

Hearing this, the girl's expression changed.

She tightly squeezed the hammer spear as a weapon, and looked at Chios with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't dig into your past."

Chios' tone was as gentle as possible to appease the other party.

As if to prove what he said was true, he turned his back to the girl after speaking, and walked towards the gate of the city.

Heh, that's interesting.

Putting his hand on the hilt of the sword, the corners of Chios' mouth slightly raised.

His bad taste broke out.

There are two ways to deal with women with stories.

One is to remove the opponent's defense layer by layer like peeling an onion.

The other is to cruelly cut off all self-protection, and spread the fragile side bloody in the sun.

Which method should I use this time...

! ?

The shoulders of the girl who silently followed the young man's footsteps trembled suddenly, feeling a chill permeating her skin invisible.

Chapter 920 Four? Wasteland

Riding out of the city, with your back to the rising sun, go south through the mountain path on the west side of Oludana.

click, click...

The green shade of the branches flashed out of the corner of her eyes, the horseshoe stepped on the soil and kicked up dust behind her, and the jolt of the horse made Mei Li lean forward nervously, her hands tightly grasping the shoulders of the young man in front of her to avoid being thrown off the horse.

She had been a volunteer for some time, but had never ridden a horse.

Buying a horse for transportation is an unaffordable luxury for the vast majority of volunteer soldiers. In addition, learning how to ride requires a considerable amount of money and time. Therefore, including her and the colleagues she has known so far, traveling far is a must. Mainly on foot, occasionally meeting a friendly caravan, maybe taking a ride in a horse-drawn carriage, that's all.

All the teams that Meili has joined so far have taken risks in this way.

The existing experience has affected the cognition, so that when she accepted Chios' offer last night, she didn't even consider the current situation at all.

Meili finally realized her innocence when she saw Sharon leading the war horse and seeing off her master at the city gate earlier.

The foreground in front of me is divided into two along the center line of the road, and flashes quickly from left to right; the warm summer wind is strengthened due to the relative speed, making the clothes rattle, and even makes the eyes dry and stinging; It impacted the pelvis, and the whole upper body shook accordingly.

Riding is definitely not a pleasant experience for those who are not familiar with riding skills and do not know how to swing with the movement of the horse to resolve the force.

The faster the horse, the more uncomfortable the person.

Mei Li was dizzy after only going down the mountain for more than [-] meters.

"Slow, slow down..."

"Sorry, it's too windy to hear clearly, what did you just say?"

Sitting in front of Meili, Chios, who manipulated the reins with superb technique, raised his voice.

Of course it was on purpose.

His hearing is so keen that he can even capture and locate the slight sound of falling leaves, not to mention the words of a girl who is close at hand.

It's a pity that Mei Li didn't know anything about it, and really believed what Chios said, thinking it was because of the wind.

Mei Li had no choice but to move her body closer to the young man's back, and brought her lips to the other's ear:

"Can you ride a little slower?"

This time, Chios did not pretend to be deaf.

"not comfortable?"

"Um."

Hearing this, Chios tightened the reins slightly, signaling the horse to slow down.

"now what?"

The ups and downs of the horse's back slowed down, and Mei Li's pale face finally regained some blood.

She nodded.

"Feeling better now."

"That's good." Chios turned his head and looked at Mei Li with apologetic eyes.

"It was my negligence, and I didn't consider your feelings."

The gentle words blew on her cheeks with her breath, and it was only then that Mei Li realized how close she was to Chios.

In order to let Chios hear clearly, she almost leaned on the opponent's back, but now that Chios turned his head, the tip of their noses almost touched.

"!?"

When she came back to her senses, she quickly shrank back, and the hand on the young man's shoulder was pulled away as if she had been electrocuted.

But she forgot that she was on a horse, and being in a hurry could easily lead to loss of balance.

Coincidentally, at this time the war horse suddenly turned its head and turned slightly...

"what!"

Unprepared, Mei Li's figure flickered, and she fell to the left.

"Be careful." Chios reacted extremely quickly, changing hands instantly, and stretched out his left arm to wrap around the lower back of the falling girl.

Shi force pulled the man back onto the saddle, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"Obviously giving the impression of being an iceberg beauty, how can you act recklessly?"
