"I still plan to take a detour to avoid Chalong Forest!" Constantine continued. "In addition to the vampires, there are greenskins and beastmen there. The villages on the edge of the forest are often attacked. We have to organize them every once in a while.
Use your troops to clear it out, otherwise the next time you go there will probably be ruins."
"No problem!" Snorri directly agreed to Constantine's plan. There is nothing wrong in listening to the locals' opinions when he has no better ideas.
After a night's rest, Snorri and his troops set out on the journey after the sun rose, while the night watchmen from the previous night rested in the carriage carrying the artillery.
Snorri clearly smelled a hint of uneasiness along the way. Although there were not even a handful of greenskins who dared to show up along the way, he could still feel the prying eyes from the woods on both sides of the road while sitting on the blue sheep.
.
"Perhaps this is the result of that talent?" Snorri thought to himself. He boredly poked at the title of "Seeing Through Tricks" that he got after killing Skarsnik in the system, but naturally he didn't react in any way.
I didn't get it, and I couldn't find anyone to verify it.
"Your Majesty the Regent, I'm afraid it's not peaceful around here, right?" Stringer whispered a few words after being called away by his advisor, then shook his head and walked over to Constantine to talk.
Snorri saw this scene in his eyes, and he found that Yu Balin was more guiding him and teaching him to do some things than Stringer's advisor. In fact, this was indeed the case. The eldest son's advisor often had to bear the responsibility.
There are more people, and certain experiences need to be imparted by them.
"Hahaha! More than that!" Constantine took another sip of wine. This time he had finished the rum, and he should have drank the wine he just bought.
The good wine of the Bordero people is also famous throughout Bretonnia. The quality of the wine produced along the coast there is good, and more importantly, the output is also large, so the price is low. Even though the principality is relatively wealthy, the general public can also consume it.
rise.
There has always been a saying to describe the Bordela people's love for wine: "If a Bordela man catches the full moon of Mansribu, the month of kindness, on his tenth birthday, then he may be able to keep it alive for a day.
Stay sober and don’t drink.”
"This section of the road is full of peasant thugs! They come in groups and organize to rob passing merchants. It's just that there are so many of us that these bastards dare not take action! Do you know how much effort it took me to disperse these bastards when I came here?
"
There was a hint of anger in Constantine's voice, and it was clear that the young regent had had a bad experience. "These guys, who are slipperier than the fish in the sea in the woods, wipe everything they can find on their own filth."
Dirty weapons! Shit fork, literally!"
Stringer's mouth twitched when he heard this. For people with noble status like them, giants may not be as scary as dung forks. Even if you lose in a battle with giant beasts, it will be considered an honor. Even if you win with these peasants, you will have to win.
I felt nauseous for a long time.
Snorri's army passed two villages in succession, and their leaders chose to close the doors tightly in the face of such a torrent of steel.
Although Snorri didn't think it was necessary to pull out his cannon. The old wooden door couldn't even withstand the physical impact of the anvil guards, but it could give some psychological comfort to the poor people inside.
"Almost all of the nobles in Bastogne are outstanding knights, but the proportion of their qualifications as lords can be reversed!" Constantine had some opinions on the behavior of his neighbors. Gu
The knights of the kingdom with these two villages as their fiefs gave up their duties and joined the king's expedition with their attendants. This was true for the real knights who already had territories, not to mention the chivalrous knights who needed to make achievements!
It can be said that you cannot find any chivalrous knight in the wilds of the entire Principality of Bastogne. If you meet one on the road, the possibility of him being a blood dragon vampire may be higher.
Both villages are managed by the stewards of the knights or the village elders. They only rely on their slightly trained infantry and temporarily recruited farmers. Only the goddess of mercy knows whether they can save the villages.
After spending a few silver coins to replenish the convoy with water from the village's well, Snorri and his men had a simple meal and set off again. At dusk, they finally arrived at a larger town.
The human settlements in Bretonnia are very simply divided into three levels: the lowest level is the village, which usually only has simple walls. The only two decent buildings are the house of its owner, a knight of the kingdom, and the chapel of the Lady of the Lake.
, the lord's subordinates are just a few knights and a small group of infantry.
The second level is towns. The one in front of me and the Sanlac Castle I passed before are both in this category. They usually have relatively solid stone walls. These towns are usually located on traffic arteries or borders, and their lord will be a
A nobleman with a title.
Compared with the subordinate kingdom knights, these nobles have better-trained infantry and the right to mobilize the kingdom knights and chivalrous knights in the territory.
The most high-end one is of course the Duke's castle. In addition to commanding the low-level nobles under their command, the Dukes will have some higher-level troops with local characteristics depending on the situation. There will also be prophetesses and saints who serve the Lady of the Lake to provide magic.
support.
"The owner of Cheverny Castle, Count Cairo, is a Holy Grail Knight. We all have to be restrained in front of him!" Constantine reminded Snorri at the gate of the city.
"Good guy!" Snorri praised. He had learned about the Holy Grail Knights a long time ago. This was probably the most popular unit in the previous game. But here, these living saints cannot be a team like in the game.
Recruit randomly into a team.
In fact, no one knows how many Holy Grail Knights there are in the entire Knight Kingdom. The human empire on the other side of the mountain has been trying to figure this out.
But what is certain is that even if we count the people who directly obey the orders of the spokesperson of the Lady of the Lake in the mortal world on the "Lily Island" where the legendary Lake God Fairy lives, and the total number of people who protect the goddess's sanctuary in secret places.
There will be more than 200 people.
"Compared with other principalities, the nobles of Bastogne have an unusually large number of Holy Grail Knights. This may be a reflection of their chivalry!" Constantine sighed when he saw Snorri in a daze.
The castle in front of them looked nothing special, and even looked a little depressed. As they had been notified in advance, the count's subordinates ushered the leaders of the troops into the city at the city gate, and designated an area for the army to camp outside the city.
Snorri and his party walked through the gate and went straight to the inner count's residence, which was a small city. They soon arrived at the door of the inner tower.
