"His Royal Highness, Baron Badr from the Tupt Forest sent someone to report... He said that there was a team coming from the east under the flag of Laglan Dragon. There were about a hundred people in total. They were well-equipped and they all seemed to be professionals.
Your level is not low!" Renault suddenly lifted up his tent and came in.
"What?" Roland, who was teasing the Smurf in his hand, immediately changed into a black question mark face. Roland searched his memory carefully and it seemed that he probably had not sent troops to the east of Tuput Forest, right?
"No way..." Suddenly Roland's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had signed up for a plot event not long ago - the Crusade!
"Could it be that the remnants of the Crusaders escaped here?" Roland boldly guessed, and his guess was the truth.
"Prepare your horses, I'll go take a look!" Roland finally decided to take a look in person, but Roland had probably determined the identity of this remnant army, which should be the Eastern Expedition Army of the Principality of Nyx.
"However, I don't know what happened to Grand Duke Nyx... It would be a pity if he was killed like in history!" Roland shook his head gently. After all, Grand Duke Nyx was indeed good-looking, so he could be considered a good-looking man.
She is an otaku goddess.
"My lord, what are you thinking about? About the army from the east?" the ace loser Kaslo asked considerately.
"Well, it is indeed true, but I have probably guessed the identity of this troop. They should be soldiers from the Principality of Nyx..." Roland said casually.
"Ah? The easternmost principality in the empire?" Kaslo said in surprise. This is a bit outrageous! The Lagran Empire collapsed, how did the Nyx Principality maintain its big place? Kaslo said no
Understand……
"Haha~" Roland smiled mysteriously.
Accompanied by the clear sound of horse hooves, Roland and Castro led the El Niño rangers on the eastward path.
…
"What's going on?" Roland's eyes showed exhaustion. He patted the plate armor casually, and the dust on his body suddenly scattered. Roland and others were working very fast along the way and did not get a good rest at all.
"Your Highness, please take a rest first!" Badr looked at Roland's bloodshot eyes and consoled him.
"It doesn't matter! Where is the army with the Lagran flag? I want to see them!" Roland waved his hand and interrupted Bader. He just wanted to see what the quality of the team that defected to him was like.
Knowing that there was once a knighthood in this Crusade! Roland thought that this breakout army should be the Cross Bauhinia Knights. After all, the others did not have that strength. As for why they did not ride horses, it was possible
It was the fierce battle that turned them from cavalry to infantry...
"Okay, Your Highness, they are stationed not far ahead!" Balder had no choice but to lead Roland and his party to the place where Nyx and others were stationed.
"Well! A well-organized camp! Although it is small, it is fully functional!" Kaslow looked at the camp in front of him. When he saw the wooden walls surrounded by logs and the arrow towers standing on the four corners, he immediately felt a strong sense of identification with this army.
A lot.
"It should be one of our own. This method of tying the wooden wall is unique to our Lagrange!" Kaslow used the eyesight of a dragon knight to notice the appearance and position of the ropes fixed and tied on the wooden wall and nodded lightly.
After all, each race and force has different methods of setting up camp.
The group of people slowly came to a stop 200 meters in front of the camp. As for why they chose this distance, it was precisely because they wanted to guard against the heavy javelins and armor-piercing spears that were the greatest threat to the knights! (In fact, shooters of the same level have a very strong deterrent effect on knights.
Small, it is difficult for them to cause a fatal blow to a knight. On the contrary, those peers and warriors equipped with throwing spears and javelins and other melee professions pose a fatal threat to a single knight!
Roland glanced at Caslow, and Caslow immediately understood. He took two steps forward on his horse and said vigorously: "The army in front! It proves that it belongs to you, Lagrand, and the king has come in person! If you dare to deceive His Highness, believe me,
You will regret it!"
"Your Excellency Knight! Please prove the king's identity! We need to make sure you are not deceiving us!" the Guards Captain said cautiously.
"It's really troublesome!" Kaslo spat lightly. He really admired the caution of these soldiers. If they really opened the door and bowed their heads after he finished shouting, then he would have to doubt their
Identity.
Kasluo casually pulled out the dragon flute hanging around his neck. In the melodious sound of the flute, a giant dragon more than twenty meters long, with green scales all over its body, two wings and four claws, appeared in front of everyone. Although it was not the same as the real giant
There are still some differences in the size of the dragon, but the thick dragon power and the ferocious dragon horns all reveal that this thing is a real dragon! In other words, the somewhat ruffian-looking knight in front of me is a real dragon knight!
"Dragon Knight!" The guard captain's pupils shrank sharply. Now even if he doesn't believe that the person opposite is from the Lagrand Kingdom, he can only resign himself to his fate. After all, a dragon knight riding a dragon can completely lift the cross by himself.
The army is treated as a copy and swiped here and there.
"Your Highness, you may want to take a look, the dragon knight has appeared!" the guard captain jumped off the wooden wall and came to the tent and said respectfully to Nyx.
"Dragon Knight? That's the peak combat power of the empire!" Nyx narrowed her eyes with a smile, showing her strong sense of belonging to the Lagrand Empire.
…
"Grand Duke Nyx asks to see Your Majesty!" Nyx walked out of the camp cheerfully. She lifted her skirt and curtsied. More importantly, she addressed Roland: Your Majesty! This is exclusive to Emperor Ragland.
The title shows that Lagrand is still the same empire in Nyx's heart at this moment!
"Grand Duke, please rise. I am not worthy of your Majesty. The empire is in dire straits. Our territory is so small that it is difficult to maintain the size of the kingdom, let alone the empire!" Roland got off his horse and walked forward. Roland could hear that
There was a touch of bitterness in his words.
"Is there still a force in this land that can defeat the Dragon Knight?" Nyx asked curiously with a red face. After all, in her mind, the Empire's Dragon Knight is invincible!
"It's not the enemy, it's our sparse population that limits our development!" Roland sighed. After all, there are only so many refugees joining every day, and the population base cannot increase. Roland is also helpless!
"Well..." Nyx nodded obediently. She suddenly thought of the broken principality and the wandering army. Maybe the principality could be recaptured, but the loyal Crusaders... thinking about Nyx.
Tears just flowed down.
"Wipe it!" Roland handed over the handkerchief in a gentlemanly manner.
"Thank you!" Nyx took the handkerchief, then raised his head and smiled at Roland.
Roland suddenly stood there as if he had been struck by lightning. Oops! It was a heart-pounding feeling! This was so beautiful! Her delicate facial features were as beautiful as the sky without makeup, and the faint traces of tears on her face made me feel pity for him.
!
"Oops! Your Excellency is obsessed!" Kaslo slapped himself on the face. It was so embarrassing! After all, he is also the king of a country! How could he stare at other women like this, let alone
That pig brother is almost drooling...
"Why did you show up here? Is the Principality of Nyx okay?" Roland asked knowingly.
"Wow wow~" Roland didn't say anything, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Nyx, who had just stopped crying, opened the floodgates of tears again, and tears burst into tears in an instant...
"They...all sacrificed...all...for...to protect me..." Nyx plunged into Roland's arms in front of everyone's surprised eyes, and howled loudly.
Start crying.
"I'll go! What's going on?" Looking at Nyx buried in his chest, Roland's innocent eyes widened, and then he turned around to see Castro with a look of disgust.
"I'll wipe it! What's the look in your eyes? She was the one who made the move first!" Roland defended.
"..." Kaslo.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. Welcome home." Roland patted Nicks in his arms gently and felt relieved. After all, she was just a little girl. She had gone through so much and only collapsed now.
The quality is good.
"Uh~uh!" Nyx sobbed.
…
"Hey! Are you shy? You didn't look like this when you just came over!" Roland joked.
At this moment, Nyx was sitting opposite Roland with a blushing face, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. After all, his behavior just now was too unreserved.
"So these are the only ones you have left?" Roland sighed and returned to the topic.
"They...may come on their way again..." Nyx's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and even she herself gave up hope...
"A team of one hundred Lagrand Royal Guards! One second-level fire mage, three second-level priests... Sigh..." Roland sighed. He remembered that the system's abridged version of the Crusade had five thousand
There are more people, but now that's all standing in front of me, it's too miserable...
"Come with me back to Flowing City. Although everything is in ruins, it's better to be safe. There are also our allies around us who can help each other." Roland patted Nyx's shoulder and consoled him.
"Hmm..." A voice as soft as a mosquito's whisper came out of Nyx's nose.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully meeting Grand Duke Nyx and successfully achieving the achievement: the first Duke! Reward 100 Lagrand Royal Guards*!"
"Royal Guards? Those solid iron cans?" Roland smiled, this reward is not bad! Including the Royal Guards brought by Nyx, there are two hundred of them! Blocking the gap in a large-scale war
That’s enough!
"Okay, pack up, let's go back!" Roland said to Nyx and others.
"Baron Bader, I have received your loyalty. I hope you will fulfill your duties, protect your territory and defend the kingdom's land. You did a good job this time! I will ask someone to send you the reward later." Roland did not hesitate to give himself.
words of praise, after all, these people have indeed proved their loyalty to Roland!
