Zhou Qingfeng held a "grievance meeting" and the whole secret camp was crying.
Banshee Castle did not hold a 'grievance meeting', but hundreds of noble family members were still crowded outside the city lord's palace, crying as if the world was ending.
These same family members cheered for their children to go out to fight in the city a week ago and encouraged them to come back with glory and wealth.
The reason is that Banshee Castle has stepped up to the plate this time.
Before nightfall, Tias rode on horseback for a long time, and together with more than a dozen scattered knights, they rushed back one after another like a bereaved dog.
The moment he dismounted, the rookie knight's legs were weak and he fell down. When he touched his thigh, he found that his entire trousers were soaked with blood. The arrow in his butt was still stuck.
Tias was the most miserable among the knights who escaped because he was hurt by arrows as he was galloping all the way. This tragic situation made him attracted attention, and he was quickly sent to the city lord's palace.
The family priest treated him, and Lord Friedman even came to ask what happened. The truth made all the nobles of Banshee Castle turn blue.
Exon brought more than a hundred knights to investigate the attack on the transport convoy. As a result, the attackers not only did not evacuate, but instead stayed to set up an ambush. Currently, only a dozen knights can escape.
The others were either killed in the battle or fled in all directions without any news. This is equivalent to killing dozens of nobles in one breath, and most of them were young and strong.
Although most of Exon's men are remnants of the original Longlegs family, the nobles of Banshee Castle cannot laugh. This loss cannot be taken lightly.
The family members of the knights who accompanied Bishop on the expedition heard the news and came to inquire about the situation.
Some of them breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that their family members were safe and sound. But more of them didn't get the news, so they all crowded in front of the city lord's mansion and cried.
Your Excellency the City Lord, who likes to go 'step by step', is not going to have a good night's sleep tonight. His face is sullen, his mouth is pursed, and even his breathing seems to be venting hot anger.
Incidents are developing too fast, one after another, and it can no longer be dealt with with a normal mentality. Banshee Castle must send investigators again as soon as possible to expel and preferably eradicate the external attackers.
But just as Zhou Qingfeng imagined, the Bucci family will not be able to make a real response until tomorrow at the earliest. Because according to the situation described by Tias, the opponent is very strong.
The huge earth-walking dragon mount cannot be ridden by ordinary people.
Cold Wind City even sent troops across a distance of hundreds of kilometers. Although the number may not be large, the harm was too great. This boldness surprised the nobles of Banshee Castle.
The investigation team of Phils's death also came back to report that the enemy included not only prophecy wizards, but also necromancer wizards. They were of high rank and very powerful.
War is not a chess game, and there are no rules for who can definitely win.
All kinds of unexpected situations were like punches one after another, making the nobles in the city dizzy. They clamored crazily for revenge a hundredfold, but they had to endure the pain and admit that their opponents were not vulnerable.
The wizard's communication skills in the city were all used up in an instant, all flying familiars were sent out, and the subordinates of various noble families were forced to mobilize.
There were also a large number of reconnaissance cavalry who set out throughout the night, trying to figure out the whereabouts of the enemy.
Friedman opened a special living room and summoned family officials to discuss how to deal with it. Everyone frowned and were forced to act and think faster.
As a witness to the war, Tias was questioned repeatedly no less than twenty times.
Late at night, butter candles were lit everywhere in the city lord's palace, making it impossible to sleep. Tias was allowed to go home and rest. He endured the pain in his butt and limped out of the mansion gate.
The priest's healing skills helped Tias heal his wounds, but the heavy blood loss still made him feel dizzy, and the psychological trauma also made him feel that he needed to rest for a few days.
Outside the mansion, there are many families of dead knights waiting for news. They cannot believe that their husbands/children died on the battlefield, and they all hope to see a miracle.
But Tias knew that no miracle would happen. The noble knights slaughtered the untouchables and were killed by the enemies when they turned around. The relationship between life and death was really fair.
"Tias." Someone in the family circle shouted, and a middle-aged lady ran over holding a petticoat and stared at the rookie knight with a serious face.
"I heard that my husband Exon has died in the war. As my husband's personal attendant, can you give me a definite answer?"
The noble lady was in her forties, and even applying makeup and powder on her face could not hide her wrinkles. However, she was dressed luxuriously, and she was followed by two servants who helped carry her skirts. There was a luxurious carriage waiting for her orders in the distance.
Thinking about what he had shouted on the battlefield, Tias lowered his head sadly and cried: "I'm sorry, madam. I failed to take good care of the lord.
He was facing a terrifying earth-moving dragon, which was beyond my ability. Sir..., he asked me to come back and report the news, saying not to let his sacrifice be in vain."
The 'rookie' learned to 'change his face' without a teacher and was ready to accept scolding. But the middle-aged lady was not very sad at all. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself:
"Poor Exxon, I hope his death will not be too painful. But that's okay, I will inherit all the family property, and no one can stop me from remarrying."
Uh..., this actually surprised Tias.
After saying that, the middle-aged lady looked at the young Tias thoughtfully and said, "Poor little boy, you must have been frightened a lot today. I have also suffered a lot of psychological trauma. Can you come and accompany me?"
me?"
The rookie followed Exxon and didn't learn anything else. He heard a lot of the tricks of the nobles.
In aristocratic marriages, there is little emotional factor, and property is the main factor.
Why do so many family members of dead knights come to cry outside the city lord's palace? Because most of them have too little dowry and must rely on their husbands to survive.
But Lord Exxon's wife is a little different...
The rookie was having some thoughts when a clear voice called out from behind him, "Sir Tias, can you excuse me for a moment?"
Tias turned his head and his pupils instantly expanded.
Princess Inisa, dressed in a smart outfit, appeared outside the city lord's palace with her attendants. Her original crying voice was a little weaker, and her young and beautiful face seemed to be radiating radiance all the time.
She doesn't need any words or expressions, she just needs to stand quietly and immediately become the focus of everyone's attention.
The rookie immediately forgot about the noble lady and walked up to Her Royal Highness the Princess's horse as if he was charmed. He held his breast respectfully and saluted: "Hello, Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
The princess sat still on the horse, leaned over and asked, "I heard that Cold Wind City sent people to attack you?"
"Yes, I have fought against those people before. I am relatively familiar with them."
When talking to Lord Freedman, Tias's mind was not as flexible as it is now. He talked about his experience in Green Valley Town, the shield-carrying rangers and halfling rogues, and the Cold Wind City
The unique slender crossbow arrow.
"By the way, I saw a beautiful elf. And your beauty, Your Highness..."
Tias thought of the female elf he saw when he escaped, and wanted to say that her delicate face was comparable to that of Ynessa. But he stopped when he started, feeling that this was an offense.
But Inisa already knows who this is talking about?
Victor Hugo's side can compete with His Royal Highness in appearance and temperament, and the only one who can make people unforgettable is Sili. And if Sally is there, Victor Hugo must be there.
"You said you saw an earth dragon?"
"Yes."
"Did you see a silly orc?"
"I seem to have heard others mention it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
"Have you ever seen a skeletal war horse that likes to say weird things?"
"No."
"Have you met Victor Hugo in person?"
"I'm not sure because I don't know the monsters in the Black Forest."
Inisa asked a few questions, thanked her, and then dismounted in front of the city lord's mansion. She entered the mansion wrapped in a dark red cloak. Tias stared at her back until he could no longer see her and then let out a sigh of relief.
The middle-aged lady came up from behind, gently touched the rookie's shoulder, and asked with a chuckle: "My dear little poor thing, you don't fall in love with that princess, do you?"
"No, no, no." Tias quickly denied, "I know my identity very well, I just... I admire her."
Tsk..., the middle-aged lady sneered and took the initiative to hold Tias's arm, "When will you men understand your own identity? You always overestimate yourself."
The strong smell of fragrant powder filled the novice's nose, making him want to break free.
But the middle-aged lady increased her strength to hold Tias tight, and snorted and sneered: "Poor little boy, I know you must be very tired, why don't you throw yourself into my arms."
"Wait a minute, you are the lord's wife. The lord just died."
"So what? I happen to be in need of a young lover, and I'm also a rich widow."
The word 'rich widow' struck a chord with Tias. After feeling the noble lady's thick and powerful arms, he was half-pushed and dragged into the carriage parked nearby.
Fell.
