After placing the two girls in his tent, Narant finally had time to continue the celebration lunch with his lucky daughters.
After continuing to eat with a few lucky girls for more than half an hour, the luncheon came to an end.
Because his own tent was occupied, Nalant finally had to go to Vivian and others' tent to rest and practice.
When Nalant started practicing, what he didn't know was that there was already an explosion outside the camp.
"Have you heard? Miss Stella and Miss Natasha entered Nalant's camp at the same time, and sat on Nalant's left and right respectively, behaving very intimately!"
"What? Your news is out of date. I heard that Miss Stella and Miss Natasha entered Nalant's tent at the same time. It's been more than an hour now, and I heard they haven't come out yet!"
"Hiss! This...can't be possible! What did Miss Stella and Miss Natasha do in Nalant's tent for so long?"
"What do you think?"
"But Miss Stella is usually so... so arrogant... how could she possibly do such a thing? On the other hand, I believe that Natasha can do it!"
"Who knows, but I saw Miss Stella and Miss Natasha enter Nalant's tent with my own eyes!" This man was categorical, because he had indeed seen them around Nalant's camp before.
However, he did not say that Nalant did not actually enter the tent with Stella and Natasha, but continued to eat and drink at the table for a while.
Of course, he only waited for more than half an hour, and he was also not sure whether Nalant would enter the tent after he left...
"Hiss... this bastard... is so lucky..." In an instant, the other person's face became a little distorted.
"Yes, this bastard Narant is so lucky..."
This person doesn't care at this moment whether what happened between Nalant and Stella and others really happened.
Just the fact that Nalant could sit and dine with two peerless goddesses made him filled with jealousy.
So now he is eager to throw more dirty water on Nalant, so as to attract more people to be jealous of Nalant.
In fact, this kind of thing is not only done by this person, but also everywhere in the Tulip Camp. After all, there were more than one or two young people who were secretly watching outside the camp.
With these people's deliberate push, the news spread that Stella and Natasha had an intimate lunch in Nalant's camp, and then entered Nalant's tent and did not come out for an hour.
covered the entire camp.
It is even spreading rapidly towards other count camps.
You must know that Stella and Natasha were the two flowers of the principality at the Royal Academy of Nobles.
Now it is actually reported that he had lunch with a young knight and also entered his tent for a long time.
This news was absolutely shocking and aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of countless young people towards Narant.
"Sir...Sir, I just heard a rumor outside!" In Bernard's big tent, Bernard was looking down at a simple map of the Northern Principality.
At this time, his personal servant came to the tent and spoke carefully.
"What rumors?"
"Sir, it is said that Miss Stella just went to Sir Nalant's camp to have lunch, and she behaved quite intimately!"
"Huh?" Bernard was stunned, then raised his head, "Really?"
"Sir, it should be true. I did see the young lady going to Sir Nalant's camp earlier..."
"Haha, this kid is quite lucky!" Bernard was not angry at all, but smiled and nodded.
He originally selected Nalant and other second sons in order to find a son-in-law for Stella. Now Stella has taken a fancy to Nalant, which is exactly what he hoped for.
Bernard was happy, but the personal servant looked hesitant, obviously he hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Why, do you have anything else to say?"
"Sir... Your Majesty, rumors also say... that Miss Stella entered Sir Nalant's tent after finishing lunch. It has been more than an hour and she still hasn't come out yet!"
"Huh?" Bernard frowned immediately. This was not like his daughter's style.
Did Stella really fall in love and decide on the candidate?
Bernard frowned for a moment, then relaxed. Although it felt a little unbelievably fast, after all, as long as his daughter liked it, he was not prepared to interfere.
However, Bernard's mind had not completely calmed down, and his personal servant dropped another bombshell, "My lord...there was another lady who entered Nalant's tent with the lady, Miss Natasha from the Frank family.
Both of them entered the tent and haven't come out for more than an hour... Now the news has spread to other counts' camps!"
Bernard: "???"
"Come, follow me to Nalant's camp!" Bernard's face turned dark and he couldn't sit still immediately.
Although he felt that his daughter would not be that stupid, the fact that he could not handle this matter even caused his personal servant to report it to him showed that it was not just a matter of catching wind.
No matter how open-minded he is and how doting his daughter is, he can't just let something like this go unchecked!
When Bernard got up and headed to Nalant's camp with anger, there were still many people surrounding Nalant's camp. After getting the news, these people poked their heads outside to check whether the rumors were true or false.
.
But the Nalant camp was located on the edge of the Chinese army, and there were Earl guards on duty, so no one dared to make any mistakes and could only look inside from the outside.
"Ah! The Earl is here!"
"The Earl is really here. Is this rumor true?"
When Bernard arrived outside Nalant's camp, there was an immediate commotion among the melon-eating youths around him.
Bernard frowned when he saw this dense crowd.
"Let them all disperse!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, driven away by the Tulip guards, the surrounding young people dispersed.
The news of Bernard's arrival in the camp was quickly reported to Narant by the guards.
"I've met the Earl!" Nalant immediately stopped practicing and quickly walked out of the camp to greet him.
"Where's Stella?" Bernard's tone was a little unkind.
"My Lord Earl, Miss Stella is resting in my tent!" Nalant felt a little surprised. The Lord Earl's tone today seemed not quite right.
"Still resting?" Bernard's face turned even darker. Sure enough, he was really resting in Nalant's tent. "Take me there now!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, please come this way." Nalant was a little confused and could only respectfully lead Bernard there.
Soon, Nalant brought Bernard to his tent.
"I've seen the Earl!" When she saw Bernard arriving, Lina was startled and quickly shrank her head in greeting.
"Take me in!" Bernard had no time to pay attention to the little maid.
"Yes, Lord Earl!" Lina responded immediately, then opened the curtain of the tent and led Bernard into the tent.
The space inside the tent is not small, but the layout is very simple, just a large bed and a small table.
As soon as Bernard entered the tent, he saw his daughter and Natasha sleeping on Nalant's bed covered with blankets, and their hair seemed to be a little messy.
Bernard's face immediately turned green.
"Boy Narante, what's going on?" Bernard scolded.
"Uh!" Nalant trembled in fright at the sudden scolding.
Is this the way I wake up in the morning, right? Why are everyone making trouble for me?
But this was his immediate boss after all, so Narant could only explain: "Your Excellency, Miss Stella and Miss Natasha got drunk drinking wine at my place, and then I let them rest in my tent.
…”
"Huh? Drunk?" Bernard, who was still angry at first, was stunned.
"Yes, Lord Earl, at noon, I was going to have a barbecue lunch with my subordinates, but..." Nalant began to explain immediately.
"Well, it's better to be drunk! Since they are drunk, let them have a good rest!" After hearing Nalant's explanation, Bernard actually smiled and was obviously relieved.
Upon seeing this, Nalant suddenly had a guess in his mind.
This...he wouldn't think that I gave his daughter to...
The more he thought about it, the more Nalant thought it was possible, and he immediately rolled his eyes.
What is this thing called?
After confirming the cause of the incident, Bernard was worried about disturbing his daughter, so he immediately led everyone out of the tent.
Immediately, Bernard looked at Nalant and said, "Boy, you have to think more carefully when doing things in the future. Do you know how dangerous this matter is for you today?"
"My lord, please inform your subordinates!" Nalant still didn't understand.
"Boy, it has been spread outside the camp that Stella and Natasha are resting in your camp, and the rumors say that you can go find out for yourself later!"
"This matter is not only related to Stella's reputation, but also related to the reputation of this young lady of the Frank family."
"Do you think that if this matter reaches the ears of the eldest prince and the king and they misunderstand what is going on, you will have a good life?"
"The king has always had the idea of marrying Natasha to the eldest prince. It was only because of Natasha's strong reaction that the matter was put on hold. But the king has never given up on this matter!"
Bernard points to that.
"Has it spread all over the place?" Nalant was shocked and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
As someone who has experienced the Internet era in his previous life, he understands the destructive power of this rumor. If three people become a tiger, then the mud will fall on the crotch, and it will be either shit or shit.
"Okay, don't worry too much. I will go into the palace and tell His Majesty the King in person about this matter later, and then everything will be fine!" Bernard saw Nalant's expression and knew that he had warned him.
Once it worked, I stopped scaring him.
"Thank you, Lord Count!" Nalant finally felt at ease after hearing this, and then thanked him with lingering fear.
…
Time flies to three days later.
Ever since two 'big incidents' happened that day, Nalant has been staying in the camp honestly.
The main reason is that he was in too much limelight the past two days and had to keep a low profile to get through the storm.
In addition, one needs to guard against Lakoff's dirty tricks.
After all, with his current strength, it would be really embarrassing if Rakov sent a few silver knights to plot against him.
This morning, Narant washed up early and had breakfast, because today was finally the day for their expedition.
The date of departure was announced yesterday morning, because Batman finally arrived in the evening the day before yesterday.
At this point, all the armies of the Agate Principality have gathered.
Woohoo!
When all the equipment and supplies were loaded into the trucks, groups of guards lined up neatly in the camp, and loud horn sounds came from the wall of Fire Dragon Fort in front.
"Let's go!" The earl rode a horse and ordered the vassals after hearing the sound of the horn. Then a group of nobles followed him on war horses to the foot of the city wall.
Leaving the Fire Dragon Fort Fortress means arriving at the battlefield, so before setting off, His Majesty the King needs to conduct a pre-war mobilization as usual.
Soon, all the noble and lords of the entire Agate Principality gathered under the Fire Dragon Castle.
A newly minted nobleman like Narant finally saw the true face of His Majesty the King of the Agate Principality for the first time.
This king looked more majestic than Nalant expected, and the awe-inspiring aura he exuded was even greater than that of Bernard.
"Meet His Majesty the King!"
A group of nobles sat on their war horses and bowed their heads to the king.
"Nobles of the Agate Principality, there is no need to be polite!"
The king took two steps forward and stood on the city wall, raising his hands to show his displeasure.
After the nobles below sat upright again, the king continued: "Today is another great and glorious day, because this year's autumn campaign is about to begin!"
"Every year, we will witness countless brave knights gain meritorious service and families gain glory in the Autumn War!"
"The Northern Principality is a country established by traitors and usurpers. Back then, my father, Harold Glory Agate, could not stand the despicable behavior of these traitors, so he united a group of warriors to resist!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Today, the betrayers still exist and have not been defeated, and I, Culver Glory Agate, will inherit my father's will and will fight against the betrayers and
The usurper has made it his lifelong goal!”
"Here, I want to ask you if you are willing to follow me to defeat the traitors and restore the glory of the empire!"
King Culver stood on the city wall and used fighting energy to bless him while shouting.
Although it could not spread throughout the three armies, the noble lords standing under the city wall could hear it clearly.
"I am willing to serve you! Your Majesty the King!"
Whether it was true or false, all the nobles, big and small, responded loudly.
Of course, everyone is well aware of the crusade against betrayers and usurpers.
It's already hundreds of years ago, so who cares about that?
What everyone really cares about is that the Autumn March means harvest and wealth.
King Culver was very satisfied with the enthusiastic response below, nodded and continued: "Then let us defeat the usurper and restore the glory of the empire!"
"Destroy the usurper and restore the glory of the empire!"
"Destroy the usurper and restore the glory of the empire!"
"Very good, I declare that this year's autumn Northern Expedition has officially begun! Open the gate of Fire Dragon Fort, all troops, set off!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Woohoo!
As the horn sounded, the heavy doors on the north and south sides of the Fire Dragon Fort were completely opened.
Soon, Nalant and other minor nobles returned to the camp under the leadership of their respective counts, and then teams began to wait, preparing to pass through the Fire Dragon Castle Fortress to the land beyond the Tianqi Mountains!
…
After leaving the Fire Dragon Fort Fortress, strictly speaking, it is not considered to have set foot on the land of the Northern Principality.
Because neither side has actual control over this area.
There is a blank area of nearly a hundred miles between the Agate Principality and the Northern Principality. It is more like a buffer zone between the nobles. Both sides can move freely as long as they like. There is no stationing troops or cultivating fields.
Normally, in addition to the Autumn March, small-scale conflicts often break out here, and the rangers from both sides will compete here.
Rangers, as the name suggests, have the same nature as the scouts in previous lives.
Most of them are organized into a group of dozens or hundreds of people, and then use highly mobile war horses as cover.
Its main function is to detect military situations, harass enemy troops, and suppress enemy ranger scouts.
As the team marched, Nalant discovered that the landscape of this northern principality was indeed much better than that of the Agate Principality, and was more suitable for farming.
After only traveling for more than twenty miles, the road ahead gradually became wider, and the mountains that could be seen around it also became low, with the highest not exceeding two or three hundred meters.
Compared with the peaks of Agate Principality, which range from seven to eight hundred to several thousand meters, these hills can only be regarded as small earthen parcels.
However, although the road was wide, the marching speed of these more than 100,000 troops became even slower.
In addition to the large number of people, another reason is that as they move away from the Fire Dragon Fort Fortress, enemies gradually begin to appear in front.
It was the Ranger team from the Northern Principality that was roaming in this buffer zone.
These rangers of the Northern Principality greatly reduced the field of vision of the Agate Principality army.
For the sake of safety, before the opponent's rangers cannot be suppressed, the army must move forward cautiously to avoid falling into the opponent's ambush.
