The mage arrives

After the Grand Duke finished speaking, he paused for a while, waiting for the emotions of the people in the square to start brewing, and then continued: "When the orc army crossed the Anduin Great Wall and the news of the massive invasion spread throughout the North, someone asked me with a mournful face: Grand Duke, we What should we do? Indeed, the situation is not good for us. The number of enemies far exceeds the two standing legions in Farfrost Province. Even if we mobilize all our forces, we will face three times or even four times the disadvantage. The orcs are thriving They broke through one fortress after another and destroyed one village after another. Our land is being trampled on and our people are bleeding... So, whenever someone asks me what to do, I say: We Will fight!"

"We will fight! On the plains, among the hills, in the forest, on the walls, wherever the orcs appear, we will fight!"

"We shall fight! With swords, with spears, with hoes, with pitchforks, with fists, with teeth, with all the weapons available!"

"We will fight! Use courage, use wisdom, use loyalty to the empire, use belief in the Platinum Dragon, and use our strongest willpower to fight!"

"We will fight! Until the filthy orcs are driven from our lands, until the evil head of the orc warlord Ugru is hung on the walls of High Rock, until we have won complete victory, we will continue to fight !"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Grand Duke Rob Antello's speech was like a spark, completely igniting the blood in people's chests.

The overwhelming shouts kept hitting the eardrums, making Gordon feel his scalp tingling.Even as calm as him.At this time, he also began to be infected by such an atmosphere.

"Knight Dellington, Mage Gordon, go up!" At this time.The host signaled Gordon and Durrington to step forward and stand beside the Grand Duke.Regardless of who has overwhelmed whose limelight, the two of them are two war heroes deliberately created by the Grand Duke in the eyes of the public through various means today. At this time, it is natural to stand with the leaders of the Northland to show The determination of the Fereidon to fight on and achieve ultimate victory.

Gordon stood on the podium.He could see the flushed faces in the crowd.His neck was knotted with veins from the hoarse roar, and his eyes were full of tears because of the emotion, he could clearly feel the real and powerful power.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"If the morale mobilized by the Grand Duke can be maintained forever, our chances of victory will also increase a bit..."

A very successful celebration meeting finally came to an end.

After Gordon met Xiona, he did not stay in the square again.The siblings were separated for some time.There is a lot to talk about.

After Xiona recovered from her injury.When he met Gordon today, the latter found that his sister's strength had improved a lot.

The little girl excitedly showed Gordon a few new sword skills learned from Ms. Bishop. Although Gordon didn't know much about martial arts, it could be seen from the most intuitive standards such as speed and strength that Xiona's The strength has indeed improved significantly.

According to Xie Oona, although she has never been to the Warrior Guild for a level assessment, she must have reached the level of a ninth-level fighter by now.Although she still has a certain gap compared with high-level fighters above tenth level, such as Viscount Demon and Antonov, who fought side by side with Gordon before.But with its very rare "flash" power, in front of those masters.Even if you can't win, at least you can protect yourself.

"Sister, when did your strength improve so much? This is really a surprise."

Xiona wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I'm not particularly sure. It's just that after the injury, every time I practice, I can feel that I have made significant progress, as if there is a mysterious energy in my body that is constantly pushing me. to a higher limit..."

The younger sister's description was a bit vague, but since the two key words "injury" and "energy" were mentioned, Gordon speculated that either it was in the healing medicine that Fritz Ivy Grand Druid prepared for Xiona, Containing some special ingredients, it not only repaired Xiona's injured body, but also further strengthened it.Another possibility is that in order to save Xiona, Gordon injected the power of the Dragon God into her body with the Platinum Seal, which played a role.

Moreover, Gordon believes that the second possibility is more likely.

Anyway, the results are pretty good now.Gordon has the golden thigh of the system, and now he is only a ninth-level mage, but his sister is now at the same level as him.Perhaps compared to Gordon, she is the real genius.

However, Xiona is not complacent about her achievements: "Although I have made some progress, Faria's changes are really surprising. When I first met her, she was only stronger than me. It’s just a little better, but after recovering from my injury this time, although my strength is improving every day, the gap with Falia is getting bigger and bigger. I really don’t know how she did it.”

Of course Gordon knew why.In the Cold Mist Mountains, after the silver dragon blood in Faliya's body awakened, it was very normal for her strength to improve by leaps and bounds.However, since the grand duke's daughter is unwilling to reveal her secret, Gordon will not reveal it either.

"Who knows? Maybe Grand Duke Antaello gave his daughter some magical potion." Gordon pulled the Grand Duke out to block the gun, "By the way, how is Faria?"

"Hee hee... Brother, you really can't hold back... Don't worry, your Faliya is very good, but when you are with me, she often mentions you." Xiona laughed coquettishly.

"What is my Faliya..." Gordon felt that his sister seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't explain much, and asked again, "Then is she still in Clear Water City? With her character, she shouldn't sit idly by. A war. Grand Duke Antaello may let her stay in Clearwater City for her daughter's safety, but Falia will definitely not obediently obey."

"Brother, you know more about Faria than my good friend. Faria and I left from Bishui City together. It's just that she went northwest with Ms. Bishop. It is said that the task arranged by the Grand Duke , Let her act as an envoy to contact the tribes of Orlandos and contain the orc army from the side."

Grand Duke Antaello's move is very ingenious.In Faliya's capacity, she is indeed the most suitable candidate to serve as an envoy, and she should be sure to persuade the tribes of Orlandos to send troops.In this way, the positive pressure facing Gao Yancheng can also be alleviated to a certain extent.And staying away from the main battlefield can not only satisfy the fighting desire of the young lady with the blood of barbarian warriors flowing in her body, but also ensure her safety.

Although he said at the celebration meeting that he would fight the orcs at all costs, the Grand Duke is also an ordinary person and has selfish intentions, and he does not want his only daughter to be in danger.

Faliya has a good father, and the hard-working Freeman brothers and sisters can only rely on themselves.

Gordon stretched out his hand and gently brushed away Xiona's hair sticking to her cheeks due to sweat: "Sister, I'm afraid I'll be very busy these two days, so I won't be able to spend too much time with you. Since you've been doing well recently , then practice more swordsmanship, so that when you actually go to the battlefield, you can also have a little more ability to protect yourself."

"I see, brother, you don't have to worry about me." Enjoying her brother's gentle movements, Xiona's long eyelashes trembled slightly because of shyness, she really wanted time to stop at this moment.But when she mentioned this war, her face became serious again: "I know that although I have made great progress, it is still far from enough. The commander of the orc army, that Ugru Iron Claw who once killed our father, It is said that he is a powerful fighter above level [-]..."

Gordon knew that Xiona had always cherished the obsession to avenge her parents, but if the war really started, the possibility of achieving this goal was almost slim.

Although Xiona is a smart girl who knows how to measure and will not act recklessly, Gordon feels that he still needs to take some measures to protect her.

After the brothers and sisters reunited, Gordon sent Xiona to the room prepared for her next door, went to the backyard to check the progress of the dwarves and Dalinar's work on repairing the Black Titan, and then left the fortress.

He was going to find Chuck McDougall.

The Platinum Centurion has been at home since returning to Gaoyan City.The military has been busy reorganizing the troops retreating from the front line, as well as the private armies of the nobles who are constantly gathering, and they have no time to pay attention to him, a small officer whose subordinates were almost dispersed in Fortress Salvatore.Among the remaining defenders of Fort Salvatore, except for the two centurions with only one-third of the personnel remaining, and the re-recruitment of the auxiliary soldiers, all the remaining officers have disappeared.

A few days ago, Chuck had been to the Red Rock Fortress several times and wanted to see Gordon.But at that time, Gordon was running around in High Rock City in order to repair the Black Titan, so he didn't have time to see him.Now that Xiona is here, Gordon thinks it's time to meet Chuck.

The centurion lived in the middle area between the city wall and the inner city wall in High Rock City, where most middle-class citizens and officers lived.

When Gordon found Chuck's house according to the direction Dalinar pointed out, he found that Chuck was drinking in the narrow courtyard against the cold winter wind.

Mrs. McDougall, who has the temperament of a typical urban middle-aged woman, saw a guest coming, and then caught a glimpse of the noble crest on Gordon's newly changed mage robe, and immediately welcomed Gordon in a little panic but respectfully.

"Baron Freeman, why are you here?" Chuck quickly wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and asked in surprise.

"I'm here to ask you, Chuck, are you willing to serve the Freeman family?" (To be continued...)
