Tiger Ross stepped into the gate of the hotel with a sad face. He was in a very good mood today. He played nine consecutive victories in the afternoon, won four sets of knight equipment, four horses and more than 200 Goldfords, which were sold to second-tier dealers outside the competition. Nearly two hundred gold coins were credited again. So he decided to take a few wandering knight friends he just met in the tent area of the square to have a good night's drink. He heard from them that the Rose Tavern by the square had a few very coquettish dancers in the past few days. It can only be a feast for the eyes. . . .
Tiger Ross weighed the purse in his hand and showed a lewd smile. He can relax at night. Anyway, the second round of the duel will be a few days away, so he is not afraid that he will not have the energy to play after playing too much... Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Tagle appearing in front of him with a serious face. It was over, Tiger Ross lamented that he had bargained with that second-hand dealer just now and didn't put down his mask. It was too late.
Seeing the tiger Ross who hastily lowered his head to avoid his gaze and tried to confuse him, Tager smiled: "Lord Ross, don't hide. When you show off your glory on the court this afternoon, the Lord will see that it is you. He wants you to be there." Show up to him before dinner, you know the place, good luck."
Now the tiger Ross stood in front of Lorist with a huddled body, as if this would reduce his figure from being seen by Lorist. Seeing his humble appearance, Lorist was very happy: "Stand up, don't hide in the corner like a quail. Ross, you just left your army behind and ran to the city of Windbury alone. Let's play. Can you tell me where the regiment you are leading now?"
"My lord, the Corps is fine. It is under the leadership of Knight Yuri now. It is less than fifty miles away from the royal city. If something happens, Knight Yuri will be there immediately." Rose stood up straight and reported.
"So you left the regiment and came to participate in the knight tournament by yourself?"
"My lord, Yuri would have come too, but I'll come if he loses in the boxing game..." Ross expressed aggrieved.
"You guys... you're mad at me." Lorist didn't know how to scold for a while.
It was Baron Felim who rescued Tiger Ross. He opened the door and came in to see, "Hey, Ross, are you here too?"
Then, before Tiger Ross could answer, he came over to Lalorist: "Locke, let me introduce you to someone. Hehehe, I am so happy today. Do you know that Bonaparte finally agreed to be my friend?" Family knight. Let me tell you, Bonaparte..."
Lorist was dragged out of the room by Baron Felim just like that, without even saying a word of explanation to the Tiger Rose in a hurry, Schwader hurriedly followed.
"Uh..." El said, "I've got to get the guards to follow my lord."
Tiger Ross looked at the rest of the people in the room: "I should be fine now."
Jost said: "It depends on whether your lord is free in the next few days, or whether you can remember that you haven't received punishment yet."
Reddy said: "I'm going to rest first, and I have to accept the challenge in the ring tomorrow."
Tagle said: "I think you should behave better in these two days, don't make the adults angry, maybe the adults will let you go."
Tiger Rose rolled his eyes at him: "It doesn't matter, I won a lot today, and I will invite everyone to drink tonight. It is said that there are a few charming dancers in the tavern, they are very seductive."
Jost said: "No, I have to continue the game tomorrow morning."
Tagle said, "I'll accompany you. Drinking is fine, but women don't have to."
…
The person Baron Felim wanted to introduce to Lorist was the Knight of Bonaparte they met on the way to Windbury. According to Baron Felim, after he defected to the second prince, he and Bonaparte became two heroes under the second prince's command because of his military exploits. It's just that Baron Felim is good at charging and fighting, and the more fierce the battle, the better he will perform. Unlike Lorist, the elder brother who took the lead and died in battle, Baron Felim's best skill is long-term battles. He was unscathed in the battle, and the troops assigned to him by the second prince often suffered heavy casualties, but Baron Felim always won the victory and brought his family's private soldiers back triumphantly.
Knight Bonaparte and Baron Felim are different types of troop commanders. He is very similar to the traditional military generals of the former Krissen Empire, focusing on military discipline and combat efficiency, as well as casualties of soldiers. He is the most popular commander under the second prince. Two of the three battles to establish the Kingdom of Iberia were won under the command of the Knights of Bonova.
One time was to wipe out the coalition formed by eight nobles who had defected to the prince in the southern province. The knights of Bonaparte led 10,000 mobs to fight against the 18,000 private soldiers of the coalition of nobles. Three months later, the coalition of nobles was defeated and the eight nobles The family ended up being uprooted. If this war fails, the southern province will become the sphere of influence of the eldest prince, and even threaten the safety of Winston province.
The second time was the first time that the second prince commanded an army to attack the Principality of Melain, but was defeated by the Grand Duke Melain and the Storm Legion. The Bonaparte knight sent to escort the food and grass rushed to save the second prince's life. At that time, the second prince was out of his wits, and he ran away early on the pretext of going to the Grand Duke Fesabrun to borrow troops, and left the mess to the Bonaparte knight. The Knights of Bonaparte remained calm, while ordering the logistics and supply troops to choose a dangerous place to camp, while gathering the scattered routs, and using the Duke of Melain to counterattack and enter the enemy's territory while the victory was chasing, cutting off the enemy's way back, turning defeat into victory, More than 8,000 enemies were wiped out in one fell swoop, forcing Grand Duke Melain to flee back to the principality with dozens of horsemen in embarrassment.
Such an excellent military commander has always been hated and suppressed by the second prince because of his numerous military achievements and outspokenness, and cannot be reused. Even when the Kingdom of Iberia was established for meritorious service, the knight of Bonaparte should be a real baron with at least military exploits, but the second prince asked him to give a huge amount of property as a tribute to the financial poverty of the kingdom. Subsidies are required to obtain titles and territories. The knight of Bonaparte left in anger and returned to the manor to live in seclusion.
After seeing the family emblem and banner of the Bonaparte knight on the road that day, Baron Felim has been looking for his whereabouts in the royal city for the past few days, and finally found him. After asking about his situation, he found that the Bonavist knight was in a very bad situation. Seriously, both the Felim family and the Bonova family were fellow villagers. The traditional territory of the Filim family was in the southern province, and The ancestor of the Knight of Bonaparte was also a baron. Later, he was implicated in the riots in Windbury and deprived of his title and territory, leaving only a knight's manor in the southern province.
Like Baron Felim, Cavalier Bonaparte is also striving for the revival of the family, but he does not have the bravery of Baron Felim. Although he is also a gold one-star knight, the progress in fighting qi training does not mean that his skills are outstanding. On the other hand, the Bonaparte knight is more like a master of military strategy who is good at planning.
Come to participate in the Knights Tournament held by the Fisabrun family, Knight Bonaparte was also forced to do so. More precisely, he came to sell himself and wanted to find a backer for his family. The knight's manor of the Bonaparte family is in the southern province, and the southern province has long been reduced to ruins by the battle between the Grand Duke Melain and the second prince. The Knight Manor of the Bonaparte family is not big, and the combined young and old are less than fifty, which is more than enough for defense and not enough for offense. Even though Knight Bonova is a master of military strategy, he is powerless in the face of hundreds of bandits, and even has to worry about the safety of women, children, old and young in the manor.
Therefore, the Knight of Bonaparte moved his mind to relocate, but where to relocate and how to ensure the safety of the road is a big problem for him. Hearing the news of this conference, he wanted to try his luck. He knew very well that his martial arts would be It's hard to stand out at the conference, but he just wants to see if there are still people who remember his past fame and come to recruit him.
It is a pity that the Knight of Bonaparte asked to see Her Majesty the Queen and was rejected on the first day, and Her Majesty the Queen had no time to see a knight. The next day I also did not see the Grand Duke Fesabrun, who was very busy. On the third day, Knight Bonova learned to be obedient and went to meet the nobles of the southern provinces he knew well, but the result was still disappointing. The nobles in the southern provinces knew his talent, but so what, the current situation of the Iberian Kingdom can only be said that it is better to die than to live, money is not money, soldiers are not soldiers, and there is no room for the Knights of Bonaparte.
At this time, Baron Felim came to the door, and he continued to come to the door for several days. The Bonaparte knight was finally moved when he learned that the Felim family had formed an army of 46,000 people in the Northland. In particular, Baron Felim made it very clear that when he followed the second prince, the troops below were not his own anyway, so it didn't matter how many people died. But now this legion is a family army that has been built with a lot of effort and cost. Baron Felim doesn't want to waste it in vain, and commanding legions in battle is the skill of the Bonaparte knights, so Baron Felim seeks talents. thirsty.
Baron Felim was overjoyed to be recruited by the Knights of Bonova, and held a banquet for three days in a row. Lorist was with him all the time, and he also agreed to Baron Felim with one condition, that he would send Joost after the archery and swordsmanship competitions were over. He and Reddy took a thousand guards and Baron Felim's five hundred cavalry to the southern province to escort all the family members of the Bonaparte knights.
Because of the holding of the Knights Tournament, Windbury Royal City finally glowed with a glimmer of vitality and became lively. The market is also somewhat prosperous, and the nobles have resumed some of their favorite activities in the past. In the Rose Palace, there is a big banquet for three days, a small banquet for two days, and a ball every night. The well-dressed nobles and gorgeous ladies make the Rose Palace a nightless day.
But to Lorist, all of this is extremely boring. He can't compete in martial arts, and he doesn't like to associate with nobles, especially those banquets and dances, where everyone wears a hypocritical mask. Just like the ladies and ladies who clustered around him, those who were willing to recommend themselves as a pillow had something to ask for. Lorist is not a saint, he also has lust, but the problem is that he is not suitable to find a bed partner at the moment. The purpose of his coming to the royal city this time is to propose to Princess Sylvia, and he doesn't want to be dissolute and flirtatious. As a result, rumors spread all over the place Wang Cheng finally made that little girl angry and angry.
The strange thing is that after twenty days have passed, Princess Sylvia has never returned to Windbury, and the Grand Duke Fessabrun has been angry about this matter, which made it impossible for Lorist to meet Fessabrun The Grand Duke made a request to marry Princess Silvia. The current situation also made Lorist very upset. The only thing that made him happy was that the Norton family's prestige became more and more prominent in this knight tournament. Jost won the archery championship, and Reddy was even more astonished. He took the title of the first silver-level fencing to challenge the first gold-level fencing, and won in only ten minutes.
The second round of the competition in the biggest event, the Immediate Duel, has ended, and two of the ten winners are knights of the Norton family, known as the most champion-like Tiger Rose, and this is why Lorist gave up. reasons for punishing him. Another one is El. Both of them passed five stages and defeated six generals, successfully advanced to the third round and became one of the ten winners. In a few days, the third round will start, and it will be decided who will be the champion and runner-up.
In the second round of the immediate duel, the Tiger Rose faced Earl Dalek of the Principality of Sabaji. The two fought for nearly a hundred moves. In the end, Earl Dalek surrendered and was eliminated. In the evening of the same day, Lorist received a report from Tagle that Earl Dalek and Earl Churchwick of the Duchy of Handela had already packed their luggage and set off on their journey back home with Faisabrunn.
Lorist stroked his chin and thought, could it be that his premonition was wrong? It's so strange, it seems that these two people really came to participate in the knight tournament. After being eliminated, Lima went back, which was really neat and tidy. But let's go back, maybe my premonition is really wrong, maybe it's because I care too much about Princess Silvia, so everyone looks like a competitor.
While waiting for the third round of the duel to end the meeting, Tager appeared in front of Lorist: "My lord, the Grand Duke Feisabrun returned to the Eastern Wasteland with a team of guards early this morning. Yes, we think he might want to bring back Princess Sylvia. After all, many nobles and knights who came to the Knight Tournament wanted to see the beauty of the princess. After a long time since the princess came back, there were already complaints in the royal city. Rumor has it that the princess left the palace because she was scolded by the Grand Duke Feisabrun. So His Royal Highness could no longer bear the pressure and went back to bring the princess back... "
But six days later, the Grand Duke Fessabrunn finally came back at the end of the third round of the duel, just in time to present the bonus and prizes to the first Tiger Rose. When the award was presented, Grand Duke Feisabrun's face was not good-looking, it can be said that he forced a smile. Everyone knew the reason, because Princess Silvia didn't come back with him.
As soon as he left the gate of the arena, Lorist saw a guard of the Grand Duke Fessabrun. The guard said that the Grand Duke invited Lorist to meet him in the palace hall.
"His Royal Highness, I don't know if there is anything I can do for you?"
In the palace hall, Lorist saw the slightly tired Grand Duke Feisabrun.
"Hey..." Grand Duke Feisabrun sighed for a long time: "Lock, I know the purpose of your visit this time. Do you want to marry our Feisabrun family and ask to marry Sylvia?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness." Lorist replied bluntly.
"Time flies so fast, the little girl back then has reached the age of marriage." Grand Duke Fesabrun said quietly: "When I was young, I spoiled her too much, so that when I grew up, I got a little disobedient Such a big temper made my grandpa lose face and made everyone laugh."
"..." Lorist was speechless.
"I have no objection to getting married with the Norton family, and I'm even happy to see it happen." Grand Duke Feisabrun said.
"Uh..." Lorist was pleasantly surprised: "Your Highness, are you agreeing?"
"Yes, I am also very optimistic about you, Locke, you have to call me grandpa after the marriage is settled. Haha." Grand Duke Feisabrun laughed: "However, I am curious, what price the Norton family is willing to pay to come How about marrying Sylvia, the most precious pearl of our Feisabrun family?"
"Your Highness, please tell me clearly, as long as our Norton family can do what you need." Lorist patted his chest.
"Okay, simply. I only have three requests. One, I ask the Norton family to assist our Feisabrun family to open ten workshops in Makinohara Province, so that the daily necessities in our Feisabrun family's territory can be produced within two years." Achieving self-sufficiency, don’t worry, we won’t force you to open an iron smelting factory, all you need is a daily necessities workshop, can it be done?”
Lorist nodded: "Yes."
Grand Duke Feisabrun's falcon-like eyes fixed on Lorist, and stretched out his second finger: "Second, I want the standard equipment on your guards, 10,000 sets, no discount."
Lorist smiled wryly: "His Royal Highness, even our own family only produced 3,000 sets of this set of standard equipment. If you ask for 10,000 sets, it will add up to nearly two million gold dollars. It is very troublesome. But for Sylvie Princess Ya, I promise you!"
"Haha! Good! Refreshing." Feisabrun laughed openly: "The last request is trivial. Sylvia is the baby of our family. I don't want her to suffer a little bit of grievance in your family. In this way Well, just drive away your former concubines and illegitimate children and let them leave the Norton family, lest Sylvia feel uncomfortable seeing it."
