The four people here went shopping until it was already late. The guards who accompanied them were more like little followers, with large and small bags of "trophies" hanging on their bodies. The three of them had a great time shopping, and only Peter wanted to cry.
tears.
While shopping, whenever Fiona caught her eye on any rare treasure or even paid attention to it, the generous second prince would immediately buy it without hesitation. If it hadn't been dark, he would have faced a lot of trouble if he continued shopping.
Bankruptcy.
The carriage stopped at the Shire's carriage house. Eloise and Fiona said goodbye to Ekaterina and Peter, who looked pained, and walked into the house.
As soon as Fiona entered the door, she asked the guards to move all kinds of rare treasures bought by Peter, the swindler, to the warehouse. She was not as obsessed with these valuable items as she was when she was shopping.
Eloise was a little surprised, "Shouldn't you move into your house and have some fun?"
"Do you think I really like these things? I am different from those brainless aristocratic ladies." Fiona said disdainfully, "These jewelry and other items are enough to cover the expenses of a thousand-person team for a year. Take them back.
Fill up the coffers."
"My Fiona is really sensible. It's a pity that the second prince's kindness is too much."
"Humph, I have seen clearly. That Peter may not necessarily like me. I always feel that he has a deep understanding of the city. What he likes is just for the identity of the future Grand Duchess." Fiona said very sensibly.
Eloise's eyes lit up. It turned out that her childhood sweetheart, who was slightly older than herself but always behaved immaturely, had grown up. She just didn't think about it in that way before, but with her intelligence and her growing growth
With his experience, he will definitely be a qualified ruler of the Principality of Shire in the future - Grand Duchess Fiona.
"It's good that you know that today the Second Prince is just using excuses to pay for our consumption. In fact, he is trying to win us over. Nuo, I'll give this to you. All the jewels put together are not as good as before." Eloise took out a piece of jewelry from his arms.
String pendant.
This pendant is very gorgeous and the workmanship is extremely exquisite. You can tell it was made by a famous artist at first glance.
But what shocked Fiona was not the appearance of the pendant, but the clear feeling of the huge magic power contained inside.
"Is this a magic trinket?"
"Yes, this is a magic item that can defend against a full-strength strike from a gold-level powerhouse. It contains gold-level magic—absolute defense." Ilos carefully brought the pendant to Fiona's slender and graceful neck.
.
The moment the pendant was brought to her neck, the huge magic power contained in it could no longer be sensed. It seemed like an ordinary pendant. Fiona immediately understood how precious this pendant was.
"You are weak and don't practice hard at ordinary times. Bringing this with you is a way to save your life..."
Before Elos finished speaking, Fiona grabbed his face and kissed him...
Their lips parted, and the two hugged each other and stared at each other affectionately.
"Actually, this pendant is worth 30,000 gold galleons. Peter paid for me. I don't know why he wants to win me over?" Eloise was a little confused. Logically speaking, she should be Peter's "love rival."
Fiona put it bluntly, "You have touched the threshold of the sanctuary at such a young age. You are a strong man who is likely to become a legend in the future. Any force will win over you."
"Really?" Elos scratched his head. He had never thought that he was powerful. It was just that with more battle experience, his strength naturally increased.
"Of course, my Eloise is the best!" Fiona looked proud. Of course, the man I like is the best!
Back then, when the two-year-old Eloise was brought back to the official residence of the Charles by the Grand Duke, the four-year-old Fiona looked at the cute little boy with black hair and black eyes, and couldn't help but feel a desire for protection.
"Boy, I will be your eldest sister from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me!" His bold words soared into the sky.
This memory has always been engraved deep in their hearts and will never be forgotten!
The day for the alliance of the Three Kingdoms was approaching. After bidding farewell to Charles III, Grand Duke Gros and the great magician Nielas Ellan led some soldiers back to the Principality of the Shire. The orcs in the north were ready to move, and there must be a heavyweight in the Storm Fortress.
.
Fiona and Eloise, on the other hand, represented the Principality of Shire and attended the alliance with the Albrex Empire delegation under the leadership of Charles III.
The location of the alliance was set at the valley plain at the common junction of the three countries. It was nearly a month's journey from Waldenhof. So the royal alliance team and Fiona and others set off from the imperial capital towards the valley plain.
Go ahead.
In order to demonstrate the strength of the empire and ensure security in this alliance, Charles III not only brought a thousand Praetorian Guards and a thousand Frost Knights, but also three thousand soldiers of various types to follow.
Fiona and Iloth led five hundred Silver Hand knights, and the rest of the army was brought back to the Shire by the Archduke.
Before leaving, the Archduke made some explanations to the two of them: "This alliance is against the Holy Empire. The Pope will not watch us form an alliance. There is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. I will leave this Silver Hand to you."
, if the timing is not right, use your high mobility to run back to the Shire. In addition, I also left a trump card that will help you when necessary."
The Grand Duke did not say what the trump card was, and the two immediately felt that this trip was not as simple as imagined, and that the seemingly calm surface actually hid a murderous intention.
In this way, a team of thousands of people set off from Wadenhof.
The further south you go, the warmer the weather becomes. The ice and snow in the north gradually disappear, and the surface gradually changes from white to black, and finally to light green. The people of Albrex who are used to the cold feel extremely comfortable and warm, and they take off their heavy fur coats.
and burqa, everyone couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.
According to the reports from the scouts ahead, the river valley plain can be reached in less than three days, and the envoys of Emperor Siriel and Batoria will also arrive soon. The top leaders of the three countries are deliberately controlling the speed to avoid becoming the first
The country that reaches the alliance location first.
Three days later, the three emperors of the Albrex Empire, the Sirel Empire and the Batoria Empire finally found an open space in the river valley plain at the same time and began an alliance, known in history as the Three Kingdoms Axis Agreement.
This is also the largest anti-church alliance on the continent in the millennium since the founding of the Holy Empire.
In a luxurious military tent with a length and width of hundreds of meters, Charles III, Imperial Emperor Sirel Heinrich, Knight King Ryan of the Batoria Empire and their respective ministers launched fierce negotiations here, aiming at the Holy Empire.
The two key issues of expansion and the imminent invasion of the orcs were debated endlessly, and no one was willing to give in.
Especially the people of the Cyril Empire were even a little gloating about the fact that the orcs were about to go south to invade the Albrex Empire. Emperor Heinrich even shouted: "Let these northern barbarians fight the orcs alone!"
The first day of the alliance ended with all kinds of abuse and unhappiness.
This kind of meeting full of various political transactions and intrigues did not please Eloise and Fiona, and they found it extremely boring. However, because they represented the Principality of Shire as a vassal state of Albrex, they had to attend.
People struggled to survive until the meeting was over.
The river valley plain at night has never been so lively in history. Hundreds of large and small military tents are dotted on the plain. The military flags of the three empires and various noble family emblems and flags are planted on the ground.
, highlighting the thousand-year history and glory of the three empires.
The most eye-catching one is the heavily armored knights with both men and horses. This time, four of the seven major knights of mankind on the continent came to this alliance.
The Knights of Order of the Albrex Empire, the Knights of the Silver Hand.
The Knights of the Red Lion of the Cyrel Empire.
The Guardian Knights of the Batoria Empire.
Although only a small part of the four major knights came, it was enough to make any force tremble. It’s just that no one among the four major knights obeyed the other.
Order and the Silver Hand are on the same front. They formed their army later than the Red Lion and the Guardians, and their combat effectiveness was only formed after a large number of Sharmas entered the army. Therefore, the Red Lion and the Guardian Knights are very arrogant. Although the soldiers quarrel with each other,
It is normal to be fierce and competitive, but it still makes the knights of Order and Silver Hand hold a breath of bad breath in their chests and want to find an opportunity to vent their anger.
The next day, the meeting continued, and the knights of the four major knight orders spontaneously held traditional knightly competitions outside the tent.
The first event is a team competition of knights and horses. Each knight group has 50 people, holding wooden lances for training. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, all knights slow down their horses and do not seek impact and damage.
, using only the dye-stained spearhead of a wooden lance to pierce accurately, and in the end, the group of knights who fell off their horses the least and had the fewest marks on their chests from lance stabs won.
The final draw results are as follows, Silver Hand vs. Guardian, Order vs. Red Lion.
As the future Grand Duchess and captain of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Fiona has trained with the knights since she was a child, and she led the team to compete in the first horse fighting event.
With just one order, the Silver Hands led by Fiona and the Guardian Knights engaged in a fierce confrontation at limited speeds. In an instant, only several Silver Hands, including Fiona, were left on the field.
Knight of the Hand, first formation, Silver Hand wins.
The Knights of Order and the Knights of the Red Lion had a second horse battle, and the Knights of the Red Lion won miserably.
The third game, which was the last game of the horse battle, was between the Silver Hand and the Red Lion. In the end, the Silver Hand won the championship of the horse war event with Fiona being the only one left on the field.
In this knight competition event, the four major knights have a tacit agreement not to arrange for strong players to participate. The highest knight participating is the silver level. Fiona, who is the pinnacle of the silver level, can naturally be proud to the end. Of course, this is also indispensable.
All the knights were turned on to take care of the only female knight on the field.
Although they are not convinced by each other, the spirit of chivalry will never be compromised. The knights who can enter the four major knights are not only superior in strength, but also outstanding in moral conduct, and they all recognize the results of the competition.
The second event was an infantry battle. This time Fiona did not participate, and the winner was the Guardian Knights.
The third event is the highlight, the championship showdown.
