Walking and talking along the way, Muse already knew that the strong man's name was Dak, and he was not a foreigner from the Great Moon Kingdom, but a person who migrated from the Empire of Light. Now he lives on this grassland and makes a living by hunting wolves and getting some wolf skins.
Although Dak's tent was said to be "not far away", it took the three of them half a day to walk all the way there. The place where Duck lived was not big, with two tents close together and two horses behind the tents. There are not many cattle and sheep that are essential on the grassland.
After entering the tent and placing Roddy on the felt, Dak carefully checked Rody's injuries. Seeing the frightening sword wound, a strange look flashed in Dak's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just took out the herbs and re-bandaged Rody. His technique was extremely skilled, and it was much better than what Muse had done.
Muse had been running around all night and was already very hungry and thirsty. She ate some dried meat and goat's milk that Duck gave her. My heart finally calmed down a little. After thinking about it, he took out a few small magic crystals from his arms, handed them to Dak, and said softly: "Thank you for saving us. I just made you throw away the prey you caught. These few gems It’s worth some money, so please accept it.”
Duck glanced at the thing in Muse's hand, and without being coy, he took it over generously and smiled faintly: "This is a magic crystal. Are you a magician?"
Muse was shocked and looked at Dark in surprise, speechless. She didn't expect that the hunter on the grassland was actually a discerning person. Dak waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not interested in your affairs. If you give it to me, I'll take it. For other things you don't want to talk about, I won't ask you any more questions."
Muse looked serious and said: "Mr. Dark, you must be no ordinary person. Judging from your skills, you should be a warrior, right?"
Dak raised his thick eyebrows and said with a smile: "What? I didn't ask about you, but you asked about me? But that's okay. I was a warrior when I was in the Empire of Light, but now I'm just a prairie hunter." After finishing, he strode to the tent door, turned around and said: "Your companion is seriously injured. It's best for you to stay here for the next two days and don't let him move around. However, he is in good physical condition and will probably wake up soon." Come here." After saying this, he opened the tent and walked out.
Muse was helpless, but she had no choice but to walk to the carpet, slowly sit down next to Rody, and sighed in silence.
Not to mention how Muse Roddy on the grassland escaped from danger, the Watt Fortress garrison mansion has been in chaos for so many days.
Reuenthal's army had retreated twenty days ago. The two lines of cavalry led by the Duke and Gislent went deep into the hinterland of the Great Moon Kingdom to attack and harass, which finally worked wonders. Gislend's group of troops had returned safely many days ago. Although they had a fight with a small group of defenders from the Big Moon Kingdom on the way and lost a few people, there was no big problem after all.
But the people from the Duke's group came back one after another, 300 people today and 500 people tomorrow. After careful questioning by Sieg, the returning cavalry learned that the Duke had ordered his troops to retreat, and that he was walking with a hundred soldiers.
But as day goes by, most of the Langya Army's cavalry returned safely. Although a few passers-by were lost to the enemy on the way, there were probably 10,000 people who came back. But the most important Duke, there is no news at all!
The tulip war flag is still hanging on the city head, but the Duke has not shown up for many days, and several rumors have been spread among the soldiers in the city. Although Sieg and Reuben tried their best to hide the suppression, the longer the time went by, the more unstable the morale of the army became.
Ruben ordered a few officers and soldiers who were talking nonsense to be arrested and beaten with military sticks, and this turbulence was temporarily suppressed.
After waiting for a few more days, something big happened this morning!
That morning, a group of dozens of cavalrymen from the Dayue Kingdom came slowly from the city, followed by a large cart. An officer from the Dayue Kingdom called the door loudly, saying that he was an envoy from the Dayue Kingdom and wanted to see Lu. This general.
Sieg knew something was wrong, and immediately sent a group of his own close soldiers out of the city to take the group directly to the garrison. I asked Reuben and Gordon to come over and meet the envoy together.
But what shocked the three of them was that the carriage brought by the people from the Dayue Kingdom actually contained the Duke's armored scimitar! Also sent along were the armors and weapons of a hundred soldiers of the Duke's side. The other party's envoy kept saying that Duke Tulip had been killed by them, forcing Ruben to surrender immediately and hand over the Watt Fortress, otherwise the war would restart in five days!
Ruben was immediately shocked and angry when he heard this. He absolutely could not believe that the Duke would die! But seeing that the other party had even sent back the Duke and all the armor of the soldiers around him, how could he sit still? According to Ruben's temper, the entire army will be dispatched immediately to fight for Reuenthal!
Fortunately, Sieg is a mature and prudent person. He sent his personal soldiers to send a group of envoys from the Kingdom of Dayue directly outside the city, and strictly ordered that the envoys from the other side were not allowed to stay in the city and talk to anyone! He held on to Ruben tightly. Sieg tried hard to persuade him, thinking that the Duke was not dead after all, but that he was probably ambushed on the road. If the Duke is really dead, I am afraid that the other party will not send armor and weapons, but directly send the human head. Although the other party is threatening, he is actually guilty!
Although Sieg said this, he was still uneasy in his heart. Seeing that all the armors and equipment of the elite soldiers he personally selected were in front of him, most of the more than a hundred elite soldiers had died in the battle. However, Ziege didn't say anything about the Duke's safety at the moment, but he was also beating the drum in his heart.
The three of them were originally subordinates of the old Lord Tulip Duke. They were old comrades in arms for many years, so naturally they could tell the truth in their hearts. At this moment, the armor and equipment sent by the enemy had been put away by their orders. All soldiers who saw the envoys of the Dayue Kingdom were all locked up to prevent the morale of the troops from being scattered. But even so, the morale of the soldiers in the military camp is still unstable. In the past few days, many leading officers have come to see Ruben. They were all stopped outside the garrison by Sieg's orders.
After all, Gordon had been in the palace for many years and had developed a cautious character. He proposed that he lead a small group of people to quietly leave the city and secretly enter the grassland to search around.
Sieg disagreed. He believed that after the big fuss last time, the army of Dayue Kingdom had already been prepared. Not to mention entering the grassland, they would probably be attacked by the opponent when they passed the Loulan Fort and Trier Fort occupied by the opponent. I found that if one person is not careful, the whole team may be eaten by the other party!
When a few people were scratching their heads and making up their mind, suddenly the soldiers outside pushed the door open, ran in with great strides, and loudly reported: "Sir! The special envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor in Imperial City has arrived outside the garrison mansion! ! Please get out quickly!"
The three of them were shocked! He immediately ran out of the hall in a panic, and saw a group of Royal Guards in golden armor rushing into the gate outside the guarding mansion. Gordon hurriedly cursed at the soldier who reported the news: "What are you doing? What happened! When did the special envoy enter the city? Why did the special envoy not report until he arrived at the door? "
The soldier knelt down and said loudly: "Sir! The special envoy has your majesty's order! The officers at the city gate dare not stop them! They are all Royal Guards, and the people guarding the gate of the garrison by Sir Sieg do not dare to stop them!"
Gordon was about to say something else, when he suddenly heard a charming voice: "Commander Gordon, why haven't I seen you for a few days? Your temper has gotten worse. I came here as soon as I came, what else do you need to report?"
When the three of them heard this, they looked over and saw a slim young woman walking through the door, followed by several Royal Guards officers in special uniforms. The woman had a pink face and a smile, her eyes were moving, and there was a slight smile in the corners of her eyes.
Gordon's expression immediately changed slightly - it was actually Her Majesty the Queen's sister, Miss Qiaoqiao! He works as an errand in the palace, so he naturally knows Qiao Qiao, and he also has some vague knowledge of the ambiguous relationship between His Majesty, the Duke, and Miss Qiao Qiao. At this moment, he suddenly saw Qiao Qiao, and he never thought that the special envoy from the empire was actually her!
Qiaoqiao's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Gordon. She ignored the surprised expression on his face, smiled lightly, and asked directly: "Where's Seth? Where is he?"
Gordon forced out a smile, welcomed Qiao Qiao into the hall, and then made a stuttering introduction. Ruben has been away from the imperial capital for many years, so naturally he doesn’t know Qiao Qiao. Ziege is just a commander. Although he has heard of Qiaoqiao, he has never seen him. When the two of them knew that the person in front of them was Her Majesty the Queen's sister, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Qiaoqiao's expression remained unchanged. She just patiently listened to Gordon's introduction without asking anything else. She just said: "Where is Seth? Where is he?"
Gordon's face immediately became extremely ugly, and he hesitated: "Your Majesty the Duke... Your Majesty the Duke is not in the city at this time."
"Not there? Then where is he?"
Ruben coughed, knowing that he couldn't do it without speaking, so he forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty the Duke... He led his troops out of the city to inspect the surrounding defenses... "
Qiao Qiao frowned, looked at the three of them up and down, suddenly raised his eyebrows, stared at the table, and shouted: "Nonsense!"
Gordon was startled. He knows how powerful this young lady is. In the imperial capital, she was the queen's sister, and His Majesty the Emperor was her admirer. Although there were so many nobles and wealthy families in the imperial capital, no one dared to mess with her!
Qiaoqiao's pretty face darkened and she said coldly: "You think I'm easy to lie to, don't you? Look at the way you talk! Hesitating, you must be telling lies! Why don't you tell me the truth! Where is Seth? ! Hehe! I’m telling you, I have something important to say to your Lord Duke this time! How dare you stop me?”
Sieg sighed and ordered his soldiers to come in and bring in the Duke's leather armor weapons sent from the Great Moon Kingdom. Qiaoqiao looked strange, looking at Zig's behavior, not knowing what he meant.
Seeing the soldiers go out and close the door, Zig sighed, walked to Qiaoqiao, and told what happened in a low voice. He had just finished speaking, but before he could finish his words, Qiao Qiao's face changed drastically and she yelled, "What!!"
