Heart of the Castle

Chapter 727 An Overly Calm Half Year
The two landings of the large alchemy airship Rimang were impressive, and this was especially true for the second time. After a roar that resounded through the sky, the collapsed wreckage of the Rimang almost covered the entire airship port. Hundreds of people The Greencastle servants and guards were all dispatched, and it took three hours to complete the rescue work, and it took a week for all the wreckage to be cleaned up.

In contrast, the landing of the Holy Sword Warrior was much lighter. After the magic circle inlaid with flame gems was reduced in power, the hot air released was reduced. The golden ball on the flying ship gradually shrank, and the entire flying ship The ship then gradually descended, and finally docked firmly at the far right of the five flying ships of the same model in the port.The sound of the keel touching the ground was not even louder than that of a horn blowing from a watchtower.

As soon as the simple gangway was lowered to the ground, Bamilian, the head of the court, climbed down with a neat movement that was extremely inconsistent with his bloated figure, and then nodded to the young knight who came to greet him, "Lord Grunwalm, so You are still on duty late, it is really hard work."

"This is my duty, my lord." The young title knight replied blankly.Ever since Glenn Worm's fighting spirit reached the Tianhua stage and won the title of the youngest knight in history, he has always put on such an indifferent appearance in front of others, as if only in this way can he establish his majesty like. "Please go to the room of His Excellency the Regent immediately, if you and Master Sugad's health can still bear it."

"Of course I can bear it, Mr. Glenn Worm, traveling by flying boat is much easier than riding a horse." The Bamilian manager replied with a smile, "And thanks to the blessing of the regent, everything went smoothly on the way back to Greencastle. I have never encountered a slightly larger airflow."

A knight assisted the old red-robed scholar Master Sugard to walk down the gangway slowly. When the soles of his feet touched the solid ground, the old scholar finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then rubbed his forehead with his hands. "Merkativo, Lord of Wisdom, Chief Bamilian, your can of ale has too much stamina, it must be mixed with distilled alcohol."

"Where is it, it's true that you have had a few more drinks." Director Bamilian shook his head in denial, and then reached out to support Master Sugard's arm, "Do you want to find a priest and use magic to get rid of the state of drunkenness? Your Excellency the Prince Regent is still waiting for us to report."

Master Sujiad took a deep breath of the cold night air, suppressed the faint feeling of boredom in his chest, waved his hand lightly and said, "Don't bother, it's just that the final landing was a little bumpy, just take a walk. "

Two heavily armed Griffin Knights held torches and led Master Sugard and Bamilyan Chief through the long and gloomy corridor to the door of the room of Li Weiston, the guardian of the Kingdom of Arthur.The guard standing in front of the door had already received the order, and as soon as they saw Master Sujiad and a group of people coming, they moved away to the left and right, and opened the door for them.

Compared with half a year ago, Levi Ston, who has passed his 16th birthday, is more tall and straight, his shoulders are a little wider than before, and the lines on his cheeks are slightly angular, gradually showing a man's strength rather than a boy's. temperament.However, his eyes still shone with enthusiasm and determination, but he did not develop the cold aura of killing and decisiveness because of his long-standing position.

Due to the exceptionally calm situation in Northern County for the past six months, Levi Stern did not wear the knight armor with the griffin emblem etched on the chest when he was in the room, but wore a plain tight leather vest and a dark wool shirt. Trousers, but this does not mean that he has completely let go of his vigilance. This set of clothing can also be used as the lining of the armor, and you can even see clear indentations on it, while the saber is meticulously hung on the sword belt around his waist. .

Seeing Master Sugard and Chief Bamilian enter the room, Li Wei stopped talking with the others and got up to greet them. After a brief greeting, he arranged the two of them to sit on the seats closest to the fireplace.Master Sugard accepted the young regent's kindness with a smile, but the chief of Bamilyan refused. He put his hands on the shoulders of Donna the Roaring Bear who had just got up and was about to give up his seat, and forced the Ice Wall garrison commander to press down. went back.

"Oh, Commander Donna, sit down, sit down." The eunuch said softly but firmly, "Don't be polite, you just came from the Great Wall of Ice yesterday morning, riding a horse After running around for a full day and a half, it is much more tiring than us."

"The news about the Sleepless Eye is really well-informed." Tang Na shook his head in disbelief, and then a big smile broke out on his face full of bushy beards, "It was really a difficult journey, but this time I went back His Excellency Li Wei has just promised that all the latest four airships will be assigned to the defenders of the Great Wall of Ice.”

"That's really congratulations, Commander Donna, with these four airships, your subordinates' control over the extreme arctic ice sheet will be further enhanced, and you don't have to brave the wind when the north wind is picking up." Xue has dispatched the light cavalry to carry out scouting." The Bamilian manager congratulated with a smile on his face.

There was a satisfied expression on Tang Na's face, but the words that came out of his mouth were a little worried, "It's not that easy, my lord, I'm afraid you haven't seen the extreme arctic ice sheet in winter, right? The north wind mixed with the blizzard At the time of the attack, the whole world was in chaos. Looking down from the sentry tower of the Great Wall of Ice Wall, even the nearby Heihe River could not be seen clearly. It can freeze the skin, even though the fires in the outposts were burning day and night last winter, more than 30 defenders suffered from frostbite, and some even had to have their dead fingers amputated."

"That's true, so Master Li Wei is very concerned about this, and specially asked the alchemy studio to rush to manufacture a batch of special equipment for the defenders of the Ice Wall Great Wall, including gloves, boots and helmets. These equipment are embedded with small heating magic circles, Relying on the flame gem powder as energy, each filling is enough to last for three days." Mr. Dish twisted his beard and said, "Commander Donner, the first batch of [-] sets of equipment has been debugged and installed on the Persistence and Heihe. In the cargo hold of the Guardian, it should be allocated to the soldiers on guard after returning home."

"That's great. On behalf of the two thousand Ice Wall defenders, I would like to thank His Excellency the Regent for your generosity and concern, as well as Master Frederick's perfect alchemy skills." Tang Na excitedly hit the table with his fist. Zhixiong has become more and more depressed since he served as the garrison commander of the Ice Wall Great Wall. Only at this time can he vaguely see the heroic qualities of the well-known adventurer back then.

"My lords, let's come here first if we want to exchange pleasantries. We can talk to our heart's content during dinner later." Li Wei cleared his throat and turned the topic back to the direction of the discussion just now, "Now we know that the ice wall has The situation near the Great Wall is very calm. Even on the extreme northern ice sheet, there are no traces of barbarians, orcs, or goblin robber tribes, let alone demon troops. It seems that the bloody battle last year has given these guys a taste of the past. The taste of broken blood, coupled with the instinctive aversion to severe cold of the creatures of the abyss, before next spring, there should not be too much threat in the north. Is there a problem with my judgment?"

"It's absolutely correct, Your Excellency Levi, your analysis is very correct." Tang Na nodded his head in agreement. "Before next spring, the Ice Wall Great Wall does not need to continue to strengthen its troops, but the inherent strength is already very tight. In order to ensure safety, there is no way to deploy manpower."

"In my opinion, you don't need to worry too much. Without gathering more than three legendary powerhouses, the demon side would not dare to attack Beijing County." From the farthest place from the fireplace came a sound like crackling flames. The voice was speaking of a magician with red beard and hair, who was shaking like a living flame.Unlike the others in the room, this magician sat on a special metal seat with asbestos padding that has a fireproof effect, and leaned beside him was a luxurious wand inlaid with a huge flame gem .

"Lord Jono Ann Meriste is absolutely right, but with all due respect, the Lord Regent is not discussing with us how to defend the border, but how to take back the capital, right?" The voice of the Bamilyan chief It was as soft as ever, but it was like a thunderbolt to everyone's ears.

"What, take back the capital city of Fermeyer?" The important minister of the kingdom, Marquis Jeros, showed a surprised expression, "My lord, Your Excellency Li Wei didn't say a word about taking back the capital city just now, and if I remember correctly , you just entered the room again, how did you know?"

More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked over at the same time. Obviously, what Marquis Jellos asked was the question in their hearts. Even Master Sugard, who was stretching out his hands to warm himself, couldn't help showing doubts, and then he frowned and began to think.

"This is my conjecture, but it should not be far from the truth." Director Bamilian showed a shallow smile, with the confidence and pride that professionals have when they talk about their favorite fields, "My lords , please recall the recent developments in Northern County, especially the first, third and fourth divisions of the Griffon Knights moved to the south of the Dusk Forest, and the second division took over the defense of Greencastle. Is this the same as the preparation half a year ago? Is there any similarity between the movement of the Allied Forces to rescue Abraham and the two eastern counties? At the same time, the garrison troops in various villages and towns have also received orders to strengthen their vigilance. True intention!"
