Freya's eyes were still a little red. She went to see the cemetery of Aunt and Uncle Sil. This cemetery was in an open space in the forest. It was simply filled with wooden tombstones. Most of the tombs did not have real tombstones.
The owner only wanted to comfort the souls who died in the war. In the square, the patrolling cavalry squatted there in an orderly manner, being looked after by Butchi's young men. However, no one bothered them, and even the injured were given
Take care of.
Brando and Madden were standing together and talking. The old man also came after hearing the news, but he didn't expect to meet him and Freya. This veteran of the November War and Butch's old guard captain was obviously very pleased.
With the growth of Brando and Freya, especially the current identities and status of Brando and Freya, he saw the hope of the Butchi people. In fact, it has to be said that this old soldier has great feelings for Eruin.
The nature of the nobles is somewhat understood. It is indeed not a trouble for today's Freya to change the situation of the Butchi people. It does not even need to be troublesome for Brando to use Tony Gelber's identity, even if it is her
His position as the knight captain of the Royal Knights is not something that Count Nagin is willing to sacrifice for a piece of forest.
This may sound a bit sad. For the Butchi people, this is a matter of life and death, but for Count Nagin, it is just a matter of face. As a noble, of course he is not willing to let a group of refugees oppress him, but if this
Behind the group of refugees, there is a minister next to the princess to take care of it, which is naturally different. Freya does not even need to remind her personally. As long as this Valkyrie, whose reputation is rising day by day, reveals her origins as Butch, Earl Nagin will only
I am afraid that I will automatically withdraw my proposal in the House of Lords.
News of the fight between the patrolling cavalry and the Butchis soon spread like wildfire.
This is not a trivial matter. The Buchi people know clearly that it represents the views of the nobles in Prague. Many people came here worriedly after hearing the news. They still don’t know what happened and whether the House of Nobles has already
Come to the conclusion. Should we drive them away? The crowd quickly gathered and spread various rumors. Most people generally had a generally sad and angry mentality. No one spoke or shouted. The scene was very
Depressed, because no one knew what to do next. Only the anger was silently accumulating in the silence, and the patrolling cavalry in the open space looked at this scene in fear, and then they realized how much trouble they had caused.
Fortunately, Freya personally intervened to persuade her - just as Brando said, after all, she was the daughter of the Butch people, and she once led the refugees from Lidenburg with Brando to break out of the siege. Many people
They all recognized her, and when they knew that the daughter of the Buchi people had become famous today - although they were still a little doubtful, they at least felt a little relieved and no longer looked so restless.
Brando watched this scene and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Historically, in the Frost Moon of the Year of the Swift, the conflict between the nobles and refugees in Braggs completely intensified for three years. When the nobles
When they began to expel the refugees, the intolerable Butchi people broke out overnight, and then riots swept the entire Prague area. Many people died in the disaster. After that, the Butchi people were suppressed by both locals and nobles.
The situation went from bad to worse. Golan-Elsen was also severely damaged by this, but the more serious disaster was that a kind of cold suspicion took root in this area. This caused the kingdom to completely lose its prestige in this area in the future.
But today, it looks like this disaster at least won't happen again -
But when Freya returned to Brando, she seemed a little depressed. "Brando, this is a little different from what I imagined." She replied quietly.
"Do you still remember what I said to you? One day, you can rely on your own strength to protect Butchi. Let the Butchi people control their own destiny and not be at the mercy of the nobles." Brando seemed to understand what she was thinking.
, said with relief: "You have accomplished this today. All this proves that your efforts were not in vain. You set a goal for yourself and finally fulfilled your promise."
"But……"
"But what?"
"But I can't help but think, what would have happened if I didn't have the status I have today? Brando, how much I want the Butchi people to control their own destiny, but - the power to determine everyone's destiny is just from
The nobles have been transferred to my hands, and they may be able to live a peaceful life from now on, but even they themselves are not aware of this. If one day I want to push them into a pit of fire, everything will happen again." Fu.
Leya replied quietly.
"My boy, you wouldn't do that, would you?" Madden replied.
"I know, but..."
The old man seemed to know what Freya was going to say, and interrupted her: "These are the rules of the nobles. If you are among them, you must abide by these rules. You have done enough, my child."
Freya pursed her lips tightly, intending to refute, but she didn't know how to speak. She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know where the problem was. Uncle Madden didn't seem to be wrong, but she
She felt very frustrated, as if after working hard, she didn't get the results she wanted; but she had a vague feeling that if there was someone here who could answer her doubts, then that person must be Brando
.
Just like every time she was confused, she still looked at Brando immediately.
"Captain Madden is indeed right, Freya," Brando replied calmly, as if this question had never been a problem to him: "Under the rules of our time, this is already the most
That’s a good idea.”
Brando's words were like a flame that illuminated the darkness and haze in Freya's heart. She reacted immediately, raised her head suddenly, and asked: "Brando, you mean, the rules - yes
Can it be changed?”
Brando smiled at her: "Isn't this what we have been doing all along? I, you, Her Royal Highness, and everyone are looking for the way forward."
Freya opened her mouth slightly.
Madden seemed to hear a hint of it, and couldn't help but look at this young man whom he had only met twice during the Black Rose War. He felt that he saw more of the other person each time, but each time he got more
So much surprise.
Brando replied softly: "So Freya, you must not belittle yourself, you must know that what you are doing is far more glorious and glorious than you imagine. Your origin, your qualifications, in this
In front of ideals and beliefs, they are like a grain of sand, not worth mentioning at all. Those who ridicule you and ridicule you have no idea what you are thinking, because they cannot imagine the ancient glory of Eruin - this
It is the great deeds of ordinary people, just like the oath the late king swore in front of his sword."
"Young man," Madden said after listening for a while, "do you believe this?"
Brando nodded: "I am sure, because I know that many people have sacrificed everything for this, and until now, many people are fighting for this belief and ideal. I dare not say whether it will definitely happen."
Success or failure, but at least I understand. I won't let it stop halfway."
He turned back and said to Freya: "Freya, do you still remember what you once said? You swore an oath to fight for an independent destiny for the Butchi people, so that everyone who pursues happiness and beauty can
One day you will no longer be at the mercy of others. Do you still remember what I said to you that day?"
"I remember," Freya nodded vigorously. It was as if the haze that troubled her heart was just a layer of mist, which had disappeared long ago with a gentle blow. She replied like an oath: "Brando
, I understand, I will continue to persevere, even if I shed all my blood one day, I will never regret it. Brando, do you believe me? I will definitely do it."
"You did it, silly girl." Brando heard Freya say that even if she shed all her blood, she would never give up. In the history of Eruin, this Valkyrie indeed shed her blood for this ancient kingdom.
Used the last drop of blood.
Eruin's ancient glory. It was a scene described in the legend. Madden did not dare to imagine it, but he would not easily criticize the young man's passion and impulsiveness. In any case, as long as the Butchi people can tomorrow
Living a better life than today is enough for him. He has seen too many illusory things. He is getting older and no longer easily believes in the so-called beautiful vision, thinking that it is just a kind of illusion; but
He at least understood that Freya was a good girl and would never push the Butch people into the fire pit, and that was enough.
Butchi, who has experienced war and pain, only hopes to return to the peaceful life of the past.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but the patrolling cavalry did not dare to act rashly. After a while, these young people finally figured out the identities of the two people in front of them - so they did not dare to act rashly anymore, but each of them had a big heart.
It's called unlucky. Braggs had just experienced a war. It was the coalition of Tonigel, Lantonilan and Viero people who rescued them from the desperate situation. However, in this war, Count Tonigel and Princess
The prestige of the Valkyrie next to His Highness is at its peak. Those of them who are related to both the army and the nobility will have heard of the names of these two people, and when they learned that these two people were both from cloth,
With Qi's background, everyone suddenly felt like they were being kicked on the iron plate.
They didn't have time to sigh for the blind Earl Nagin, because compared to Earl Nagin, it can be said that the ignorant is innocent, but they bumped into others. If the Earl wants to deal with them now, I'm afraid
No one dares to stand up for them.
The patrolling cavalry were panic-stricken, but they did not expect that Brando and Freya had forgotten them a long time ago - Brando was not so petty after all, not to mention that he knew very well about Golan, Elson and even Karasu.
According to customs, it is very common for young people to fight or even duel with each other. Both sides are relatively well-behaved. Although some people are injured, almost no one kills them. He has no intention of being harsh on this. As for these patrolling cavalry coming,
Making extra money is such a trend that he can't stop it even if he wants to. Moreover, he believes that with this lesson and the background of himself and Freya, the other party will probably not make this kind of mistake again in the future. There is no need to do it for no reason.
After offending people, the Butchi people still have to live here after all. Most of these young patrolling cavalry are local gentry and nobles. If they really want to form enemies, he and Freya cannot be here to take care of them all the time.
And Freya had no such intention at all. She finally returned to her hometown once, and all she saw were familiar faces, especially people from the past militia like Little Phoenix, who surrounded her and insisted that she spend this time together.
Let's tell her past experiences, the story between her and 'Count Tonigel', but she and Brando don't have so many stories to tell. Freya blushed and hesitated for a long time.
So why do you remember the patrolling cavalry?
The captain of the patrol cavalry, Ou Jin, waited there for a long time in fear and worry, but no one came to announce their death penalty or pardon. At first, he thought that the earl deliberately wanted to let them hang out here, but after waiting,
After a while, he finally felt that that was not the case. He finally got a chance. A young man from the militia asked him why. He had surrendered his sword before, and he was very polite to him for his swordsmanship.
, and then came to ask Brando what to do with these guys. Only then did Brando remember that there was still such a group of people waiting for him to surrender.
When Ou Jin appeared in front of him with some fear, Brando couldn't help but feel a little funny. He knew these guys very well. He had witnessed these with his own eyes both when he was a player in his previous life and later in Lidenburg.
The domineering and proud cavalry. In the early years, the patrol cavalry was still part of the kingdom's professional army responsible for local security and defense. However, since the establishment of the garrison, it has become a place where nobles place their cronies and arrange the way out for their heirs. The aristocraticization of the army is inevitable.
This inevitably led to the laxity and corruption of discipline. After the Year of Flowers and Summer Leaves, patrol cavalry was basically a dispensable establishment in many cities. In border cities like Prague, it was slightly better, and it could still be used.
Maintain basic combat effectiveness. And those cities deep inside the territory are just a bunch of moths.
In fact, the reason why he had forgotten these guys before was because he subconsciously thought that these guys had escaped. But he forgot that in front of his powerful Earl, it seemed that even if these patrolling cavalry were brave, they would not be able to do anything.
Dare to leave without asking.
Eugene was a little surprised when he saw Brando for the first time. He probably didn't expect that the legendary Earl would be so young, but he also thought of other rumors about Earl Tonigel - such as
Talking about the grandson of Sword Saint Darus and some rumors about him and His Royal Highness the Princess - I feel relieved again. Besides, it is often said outside that this master is a young genius that Eruin can only see in a hundred years. He is only worthy of being like this.
He deserved the title of young genius. He coughed quickly, straightened his posture, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, what happened today... is actually a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Brando was still thinking about how this guy would apologize. Unexpectedly, it was still such a boring old routine, with no creativity at all. He couldn't help but yawned and asked: "What misunderstanding?"
"That's it, sir," Ou Jin hurriedly continued: "...Everyone thinks that we are here to help Count Nagin drive them away from here. This is actually a pure rumor. Let's not say that we are going to drive everyone away.
The fact that they were driven away from the forest is just a rumor, and even if it is true, it is not within the scope of our responsibilities. In fact, sir, we are here because of other official duties."
"Other official duties?"
"Sir, we heard reports earlier that a group of extremely vicious gangsters appeared in Prague. These guys left the city around dusk. Later, our eyeliners discovered that they were wandering around here, so I chased them all the way.
come over."
"Let me guess, then you bumped into Little Phoenix and the others and had a fight along the way, right?"
Ou Jin nodded. In fact, of course he could put aside all the responsibilities, but he knew that he might not be able to deceive the young Earl, so he might as well tell the truth to avoid making people unhappy. Brando nodded, probably understanding.
The cause and effect of the incident is that these people searched all the way and then met Little Phoenix and his party. There was already a grudge between the two parties. The patrolling cavalry took advantage of their large number of people and wanted to seize the opportunity to report the grudge. This is more reasonable.
Brando knew very well that the so-called mission would not be a big deal to these nobles in the future. As for the so-called vicious criminals, it would be considered a credit if they were caught. If not, forget it. Anyway, they do not lack that.
What I call credit.
But what he was a little curious about was what kind of group of so-called extremely evil people existed. Theoretically speaking, there were quite a few desperadoes in Prague, and to attract the attention of these patrolling cavalry, one must at least be satisfied.
Two conditions - first, they must not be locals. Most of the local desperadoes have some connection with the Brotherhood of Thieves or other organizations in the gray field. These organizations are generally inextricably linked with the local nobles.
, so patrol cavalry generally do not cause trouble for their own family members. Although even Brando can't explain why the patrol cavalry and the desperadoes became their own family members, this can be regarded as a part of Eruin's scenery in this era.
Secondly, there must be a certain number. One or two lawless elements are not in the eyes of the patrolling cavalry. It's not that they don't want to take care of them, but because of their work efficiency, they probably won't notice the existence of such one or two people.
The current situation is obviously that a large group of lawless elements have sneaked into the city, so much so that even the patrolling cavalry has been alerted. No matter what Brando thinks, he feels that this is a bit like the behavior of a cultist.
But when he asked about it, before Ou Jin could tell the reason, little Finnis on the side seemed to hear something. He ran over and said, "Brother Brando, I seem to know these guys."
