Wizard From Afar

"Do you really want to go?"

In a corner of Byrne Barracks, I accidentally saw a one-armed Knight Lucian hurried forward , Shouted the silhouette of this about to leave.

On the fourth day of the fall of Silver Helmet Mountain, Byrne's entire army received the order to assemble and rushed to the battlefield to rescue the main force of the besieged Boi army.

Despite the great controversy, Loren Torino still insists on going his own way. What is strange is that count Eckert, who has always been prudent, has taken the initiative to stand up and fully support the Duke's decision this time.

Some Byrne count objected, but in the end they were all overwhelmed; on the contrary, the oldest rock fort, Count Angelt, yelled in favor. It seemed to be such an "arbitrary" and adventurous duke. To his appetite.

"I should have answered this question." Knight never looked back, swearing that hurried soldiers and officers passed by the two, their ears were full of orders and shouts. The noise:

"Séyol has been banished to the void, and there is no threat in a short time...I have no reason to stay."

"even more how Your master has an army of tens of thousands, and thousands of loyal Knights have served him. If even you can’t protect his life..."

He slowly looked back and glanced over In the muddy trenches, the soldiers of Byrne who shuttled between the camp tents glanced behind them: "Then a trifling oath Knight, what can be changed?"

"But you are different from the others—— They didn’t know what this war meant, but thought it was no different from the past, the war between Boye, Byrne, and the Centaur."

Recalling the corrupted horror silhouettes, and Everything that has been seen in the giant dragon king city, the gray-eyed boy's expression is slightly touched, his eyes are firmer: "You... and Lord Loren, you know that there is no such simple thing behind it!"

"Those centaur are no longer the barbaric races of the past, but the running dogs of the'Black Cross' Seror-how can you leave without worrying about them?!"

Looking at an urgent face The gray-eyed boy swore that Knight face doesn't change, but turned around on his own initiative.

"If everything is as you said, why didn't Loren Torino stand up and stop me?" Oath Knight asked rhetorically.

"That, of course it is because of..."

"Because he knows that things are not that simple, and that even if I stay, I can't change too much. Instead, let me go Look for clues to Serel’s plan." Oath Knight’s voice was flat:

"He knows a lot, but he never told you."

Lucien frowned. Knitting his lower lip and raising his eyes, Knight stared straight at Oath.

After all...still a child.

"I know what you are thinking, as a guard...no, as an Allerman, your loyalty and trustworthiness are impeccable." Swearing Knight lifts the head, look at him sternly :

"Protect your master. Although he is an incurable villain with no faith at all; but sometimes in order to fight evil, we have to by fair means or foul."

The stared wide-eyed stared wide-eyed of the gray-eyed boy… This swearing Lord Knight actually cares about Loren?

"Also... I'll give you a piece of advice." Ignoring Lucien's expression, sighed's oath Knight continued coldly:

"When an Evil God tells you, you It is his friend, he is willing to selflessly help you realize your wishes, even prove himself with actions, and protect you at a heavy price, that only means one thing..."

" You are part of his plan, and your existence is in line with his key interests, nothing more."

"Remember, they are not humans, and their feelings are just a tool for disguising and deceiving trust; you In their eyes, it is no different from a chess piece."

The voice fell, Lu Sien lowered his head, and his expression gradually became complicated.

Oath that Knight looked at him plainly, took out a short blade from his arms, and bluntly handed it to the gray-eyed boy.

"This is..."

The moment the silver-gray pupils focused on the weapon, a little consternation appeared.

"The only thing left is the tip of the gun used by the Dragon Knight of the giant dragon kingdom." Oath Knight slowly said: "I found it when I left the ruins of Niederhogg. It's a souvenir. "

Lu Sien took the gun blade with both hands, and kept looking at the streamlined leaf-like ridge of the blade—a weapon that was at least hundreds of years old is as new as old, but with a little more rust. And wear and tear.

But even if it’s just the tip of the gun, the size is not inferior to the standard dagger, and even slightly wider; the shape of the tip and the two blades are obviously specially designed to tear apart the scales and flesh. Showing off one's ability on the smooth lines, elegant and fierce coexist.

The tip of the gun alone is about one meter long, and the overall length of the gun may not be less than three to four meters; and it is just a gun, not the Dragon Knight long spear that is really used to fight giant dragons. .

What kind of monsters were the Dragon Knights of the Niederhogg era?

"Dragon Knight's weapons are mixed with Mithril, and the forging technology is much stronger than that of the Empire and the Dwarves." Oath Knight said: "Fix it a little bit. It shouldn't be better than the one you lost. The saber is inferior."

The gray pupil lifts the head, looking at the oath Knight with complicated eyes, and involuntarily said: "Why do you want to help me?"

Oath Knight did not In response, just staring at him faintly.

"There must be some reason, impossible for no reason, right? You promise Knight, if it is not for some necessary reason, impossible will lend a hand to me."

Gently squeezing the blade tightly, Lu Sien's throat choked up: "Take a helping hand to an...'Evil God Apostle'."

"I know you wanted to kill Loren more than once. Your lord, and just because he holds the Holy Grail of the Nine-pointed Star in his hands."

Giving him a deep look, he vowed that Knight turned around and turned his back to the gray-eyed boy: "Because I suddenly remembered. "

"I...it seems to have been an Allerman before."

Huh?

Lu Sien was very surprised and his expression was stunned.

What is the reason for this?

"Don’t ask questions about me, waste time." The vows of Knight’s words came: "Hold your loyalty and protect your master... if you really want to Give everything here."

Before the gray pupil could say anything, another silhouette was suddenly inserted between the two and interrupted the conversation.

"You! I remember...you are Captain, the guard next to the Duke, Lord Lucien, right?"

Lake City count...the Lanma who succeeded Bosival Lord Rose?

I was shocked by Knight, who was in a hurry in front of him, with two guns still hanging behind his back. When Lu Sien came back to his senses, the silhouette of the vow Knight was gone; helpless Lu Sien I had to deal with two sentences: "Yes, what's the order?"

"Dwarf, the dwarf of Silverhelm Mountain!" This Lake City count can be described as swift and decisive, and the wording is simple and straightforward:

"They asked for negotiation!"

……………………………………

"Cisa Mihailo, Silverhelm Mountain Chief-In-Charge, Chief Execution Officer, leader of the Mihai Luo Family."

The thick-bearded, expressionless dwarf sat across from Loren; the torn coat and messy hair The beard, the iron complexion and the deep-set eye sockets all made him look very depressed, but the gestures between the gestures were still full of imposing manner.

It seems that he is not in the barracks of Byrne's army at this moment, but is dressed in formal clothes, standing in the hall of a certain palace.

"Loren Torino, the Duke of Byrne." Looking at the other person's serious expression, Loren replied meticulously: "I don't know what I can do for you, Master Mikhailo?"

The dwarf Mikhailo sat up straight, his eyes swept over Byrne and Boye’s Knights one by one, and finally stopped on the black hair wizard:

"Dear Lord Duke, there are tens of thousands of people of the Yunling Kingdom outside your barracks. They have nothing except clothing; no food, no clean drinking water, no shelter from the wind... And winter is coming."

"We need your help to overcome the current difficulties, otherwise more than half of the people in Yunling will be killed by starvation, disease and cannibalism in two days. Die..."

"Maybe you didn't notice that we are at war with each other, Your Excellency Mikhail."

Eckert interrupted him coldly:" In the battle between Byrne and Yunling Kingdom, is there a precedent for helping the enemy?"

"even more how we are an army, our soldiers also need clean water, food, and camps. We There are also wounded soldiers in need of treatment-dozens or hundreds of people may still be able to figure out a solution, but tens of thousands of refugees... are beyond their ability and have no such obligation!"

Silence.

The dwarf lowered his head, his beard’s fallen cheeks remained calm, and he did not growl and reprimand loudly, accusing the Byrnians of the "disrespect to the people of the Yunling Kingdom", not to mention coldly snorted, proud He raised his chest and turned and left.

He just sat there, his stiff complexion rose to red.

This can also prove from the side how embarrassed the dwarves outside Silverhelm Mountain are now.

If only a few dozen dwarves are left alive, they may leave silently, or go their separate ways;

If it is replaced by hundreds of people, they will probably be proud Persevere till the end, rather die than submit;

But their number is tens of thousands. Under this huge number, all small contradictions and problems can be intensified in an instant;

Ten thousand people, and still maintain a complete social system... In order for the ethnic group to be able to maintain, they will become easier than ever to compromise.

Of course, with such a proud race of dwarves, any compromise is absolutely limited.

For the dwarf, being able to admit that he needs "help" is already a compromise to the utmost extent-even the dwarf Paulis before, is still upholding "cooperation." Rather than the principle of "seeking for help," he didn't let go until he died.

It was quiet for one minute, and Mikhail the dwarf slowly lifted the head, and under the sunken eye sockets a pair of bloodshot eyes looked towards black hair wizard:

"Dear Duke, I know that you and Paulis Mikhailo once had an agreement."

Loren's expression changed slightly, and Eckert on the side was sinking, but also Surprised glances were cast at him.

How did he know?

"I always think that in keeping promises, Byrne has always been a model of duchy in the empire."

As the dwarf Mikhailuo silently spoke, the surrounding worship Well, the Knights all subconsciously raised their chests, and their faces showed the expressions of wanting to laugh but sorry.

"So... if you think that the Mihai Luo Family has complied with the agreement, shouldn't you also fulfill your promise?"

Eckert's expression froze: " It's not you..."

"Yes!"

Loren reached out and stopped the Count of Fury, his eyes motioned to him to calm down.

"I can fulfill my agreement. Please rest assured, Your Excellency Mikhailo." black hair wizard indifferently said: "But our agreement is limited to Mihai Luo Family and his Family, this is what I promised Paulis."

The dwarf Mihailo's eyes moved, his expression was obviously different from before.

"So if it’s just you and a few hundred of your relatives, I can ensure your safety; I can even set aside a certain mountain in Bayern as your autonomous territory, but... the entire silver There are tens of thousands of survivors in Helm Mountain, and I am impossible to do it."

Loren said decisively.

But the dwarf Mikhailo sees a certain kind of hope-he is the Chief-In-Charge of Silverhelm Mountain. The bureaucracy in the entire ruling system is best at understanding this " hint".

As long as there is no rejection, then everything is possible...It's just a matter of how much to pay.

"Thank you for your promise, Honorable Duke, but Mihai Luo Family is impossible to abandon the entire Silverhelm Mountain survivor and live alone." The dwarf Mihailu paused:

"So I would like to represent the Yunling people of Silverhelm Mountain, and hope to reach a better agreement with you to save all the survivors of Silverhelm Mountain."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Count of Fury Castle stood up again and interrupted the words of the dwarf Mihailo: "I have already said that the Byrne army does not have such sufficient supplies to save everything. The survivors of Silver Helmet Mountain."

"Even more how. The problem is not just Silver Helmet Mountain and Byrne-the traitors who took in the Yunling Kingdom will set the Yunling Kingdom Cloud Peak's Where is the Supreme King? How much damage will it cause to the alliance between Yunling Kingdom and Byrne, and even the empire?!"

"All of this can be explained and can be resolved; But the problem of the survivors of Silverhelm Mountain is imminent!" Mikhail the dwarf also stood up excitedly:

"Your Honorable Duke, I know this will definitely bring you a lot of trouble. , But it also allows you to win the gratitude and loyalty of the entire Silverhelm Mountain-the loyalty of the dwarf is only the loyalty of you alone!"

"So please tell me incomparably now, exactly what you have to pay What a price it will cost you to agree to save the survivors of Silverhelm Mountain?!"

The impassioned voice of the dwarves echoed in the camp, loudly.

Pushing the corners of their lips, Loren and Eckert couldn't help but glance at each other.

The dwarves of Silverhelm Mountain, the Boys of Thousand Tent City, the Empire Legion of East Sackland...

Very good

The First Support Army has been Here it is.
