Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 501 The significance of generations of guarding

"Fabris has recently had some realizations and is unable to leave the castle, so I have been asked to come and congratulate the new Earl of Hamilton on his behalf since I am relatively close to him."

Knight Ortiz spoke the most unbelievable 'truth' in the most high-sounding tone.

Fabrice, 420 days a year, is in a state of awareness every day.

It is said that he publicly admitted that as long as he did not pass level 10, he would not leave the gate of Montes Territory.

In fact, in all the years since he succeeded the throne of Earl, he had left the main city of Montes no more than 10 times.

The main purpose was to inspect the territory, let the people of Montes recognize the face of the Earl, and give the most sincere greetings to the loyal and capable generals like Knight Ortiz who have been stationed on the walls of Montes for many years.

The Montes family has absolutely no regrets in this regard.

Even though Lori had many ideas of causing trouble in his mind, he never acted on any of them. He even tacitly approved of Mrs. Yagris's care for Fabrice because of this.

Even though the family encountered such a disaster, the dying Count of Montes had no intention of calling back the several great knights stationed along the walls of Montes to the castle.

The main force of the Montes family will always guard this past border line at all times.

They knew very well that this was, or would be, the last line of defense of the Northern Kingdom.

The city walls need maintenance, including the fortresses on top... If no one lives there for a long time, it might be more difficult to restore them than to rebuild them.

This section of the city wall is of course not limited to the Montes territory. Before the mountain defense line that was snatched from the Ice Country sixty years ago, it was a stone wall only ten meters wide and twenty meters high that was built with manpower and material resources, relying on the mountains occupied by several territories.

In the past, the North was actually no different from other border territories. Although enemies attacked every year, the Ice Kingdom was unable to organize any decent battles.

Otherwise, it would not have been the case that the country sent the least number of troops, but ended up suffering the greatest losses inflicted by several neighboring countries.

Although the White Dragon King had to fight hard on several other borders, many small nobles rushed into the North before the war started, hoping to gain merit points in exchange for territories.

Fortunately, the Montes family sat firmly and stood upright, and the old count had a son who followed His Majesty the King to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen to his family.

Moreover, no matter whether the Earls of Montes had problems in their nature, they always fought on the front line and ensured that they led the troops.

The Montes family could originally have twice as many great knights as they do now... but when the Ice Kingdom unexpectedly invaded, half of them died while refusing to retreat.

Even the old earl himself fell into a period of decline due to the burning of his bloodline several times, forcing Count Montes to end his military career following the king and return to inherit the title of earl.

After that, he did all kinds of weird things because he was unwilling to give in... Choosing allies is a technical job.

If you insist on going forward even though you don't have the skills, you will only end up with injuries all over your body.

Grand Knight Ortiz was actually about the same age as Count Montes, and he was also one of those who advanced later… The fortress he took over was the battlefield where the old count had once been, and where his own father had fallen.

Therefore, he never wanted to leave the fortress for a long time, even though the walls of Montes had long lost their significance as the most important line of defense on the border.

Just for these people, neither Lori nor Yagris would do anything to the Montes family just because of the shadow in their hearts.

Even Madame Yagris would take the initiative to help Fabrice.

Because she knew very well that the little extra she did would not only help Fabrice himself, but also his former comrades stationed on the city walls.

Otherwise, no matter how determined Fabrice is, he will have to bow to reality.

It is precisely because of Lori and Madam Yagris' attitude that Valera and others have always treated the great knights of the Montes Territory with respect.

Ortiz naturally recognized Valera.

No matter how much he hated leaving his base, it was impossible for him not to attend Count Montes's funeral.

Although Ortiz felt sorry for the Count's fate, he also knew that even if his family's strongest level 12 knight was present, he would still be giving away one more life... and if the evil god had not appeared, Count Montes would have actually controlled the situation.

He even had to be thankful that the disaster did not happen on the day when these great knights returned to the main city for their annual report.

Otherwise, the Montes family would really be wiped out.

'Kyle' might let Fabrice go, but he might not let them go.

He had a deep impression of Valera.

This little girl, who also lost her parents in the disaster, was able to help Mrs. Yagris arrange the hasty funeral in the chaos, so that the deceased did not lose even the last bit of glory due to the powerlessness of reality.

At that time, Valeera was responsible for receiving the knights who had rushed back from outside.

Of course, there is a profound meaning behind Mrs. Yagris's arrangement.

How could Ortiz and his people accept so easily that the Montes family's position was replaced by Earl Hamilton!

They had fought for so many years, and the blood of their ancestors was soaked in the wall... not to bring glory to the royal bastard.

Therefore, even though some of the anger was suppressed due to the presence of the White Dragon King, Ortiz and the others definitely had a bad attitude.

Those people from Tiger Blade suffered a lot from them.

But the one who arranged for Ortiz and the others was Valera, who had just helped Tiger Blade. Although Valera could not be said to be a completely ordinary person, her professional level was no different from that of an ordinary person in front of these formal professionals, who were at least level eight.

As long as the two sides show a little momentum to confront each other, the first one who can't stand it is Valeera.

Tiger Blade They certainly couldn't bear to see her suffer.

As for Ortiz and the others... they already knew that the girl had been transferred to Lowry's name, so they didn't dare to do anything too extreme.

At that time, in that atmosphere, who would dare to provoke Lori Montez, who was known for his bad temper and vindictiveness?

The third young master was always angry and even dared to mock the King.

So, after all the trouble, Ortiz only remembered how pitiful Valera was.

Although I haven't seen her for many years, Valeera still looks like the morning dew.

After a few pleasantries and a brief exchange of recent events, Ortiz, who had agreed to set off with Qingfeng, looked at the girl sitting on the horse, wearing a light green long skirt and a flowing white satin cape, and felt as if he didn't know what day it was. "Aren't you cold?"

Valera didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only smile gently: "These clothes are made of magical materials. They just look like silk, but they are actually very warm."

If someone else asked her, Valeera would definitely just answer with one word: magic equipment.

But not Ortiz.

This great knight has a very persistent character...very much in the old Montes family style.

Speaking of which, the Montes family used to be more stubborn.

Count Montes and his sons, on the contrary, were mutants.

Fabrice is the throwback.

Lowry once complained that this must be the contamination of the Sepefia bloodline.

Valeera felt that their baron was really unconscious sometimes... He was the one with the most Cebephia style!

Only those who are crazy know.

In short, when talking to Knight Ortiz, try to be as detailed as possible so that he can understand better.

If the meaning is unclear and mysterious, he will definitely get to the bottom of it.

An answer like Valeera's is the type that the Great Knight can accept... His understanding of magic items is that as long as you have money, you can have anything.

Ortiz did not ask any more questions, but just frowned at her and said, "Are the things you carry with you okay?"

Unlike other great knights who are either focused on defense or offense, most of Ortiz's knight specialties are related to inspection.

After all, in the North, enemies who are good at sneak attacks basically appear during the coldest period of winter.

The pure white creature was hiding in the ice and snow, and heavy snow was falling from the sky... If it was not discovered, the entire fortress would be doomed.

The Montes family will naturally try to find solutions to these disasters.

In the end, the family knights took two paths.

Residents and fighters.

In the days when there were still many Dragon Vein Rhinos, the choice between these two paths was the easiest to decide... Those who could gain the recognition of the Rhinos would become warriors, and those who couldn't would become fortress defenders.

As the number of Dragon Vein Rhinos decreased, most of the family knights, especially those from branches, basically followed the choices of their elders.

This is the case with the Ortiz, whose generations have defended the walls of Montes for more than five hundred years.

It wasn't just his father who poured his blood into that fortress... Just because Ortiz could reach level 12 didn't mean that everyone in his family could.

Ortiz is a rare person who can tell with his eyes where there is life.

Their whole family has cultivated this special skill, and even if they have not mastered it very much, they can at least discover the existence of high-level magical animals in the snow.

For example, Ice Dog.

Not to mention Ortiz, who can even sense the life flames of ordinary people.

So, the expression on his face when he looked at Valera was very interesting.

Valera smiled and pulled up a thin vine from her light green robe: “Knight Ortiz, don’t worry, this is my symbiotic plant Micro.

Mikro also raises a lot of cute little bees~"

Ortiz narrowed his eyes at her and said, “I’m not worried.

I want that person... I don't have to worry about it."
