Facing the officer's seemingly respectful but actually wary inquiry, Caliya opened her mouth and gave the answer she had prepared long ago.

"I am Arturia Wycliffe, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Wycliffe. This is my teacher, Mr. Sander. Our trip was originally for knight training. Unexpectedly, we suddenly encountered such a disaster and had to temporarily interrupt our training and try to find a way back home. It was also a surprise that we met you."

Callia calls herself Artoria Wycliffe, so she is naturally particular about it.

Artoria is the name of her favorite protagonist in the stories about female warriors and female knights told by Ye Ting. , and Wycliffe is her grandfather and the surname of the queen family of Terenas.

As the daughter of Queen Lianne Menethil and the niece of the current Duke Wycliffe, Calia naturally shares the same family name as her uncle. The appearance is very similar, and she is not afraid of being recognized if she gives this fake name.

But to the soldiers in front of her, her careful preparation is like flirting with a blind man.

Although she is the leader of this team, Ao Niens himself was just a country bumpkin from Andorhal. Although he had heard of Duke Wycliffe, he had not heard of Artoria Wycliffe, so he could only pretend to look at the two of them. , then nodded, and outwardly enthusiastically invited the two of them to go together. At the very least, these two did look like real nobles, not madmen who cursed the cultists. In the environment where the undead natural disaster spreads, human beings are at least better than The undead can be believed.

O'Niens comforted himself like this, and then led the team on the way home.

Unlike the centralized ancient Han people, the Westerners in the Middle Ages were truly feudal, and their land managers were not developed. bureaucracy, but one military lord after another.

In this case, the center of power in many small places was often not a densely populated urban center, but the lord's castle in the countryside. The lord himself and his military forces were mostly stationed in Here, this is why even though the city has fallen, the lord can still survive in the castle.

Ye Ting and the two followed these soldiers and civilians to such a place.

The tall and strong castle is located between the mountains and the river. On a small plain. Due to the natural disaster of the undead, the village that originally had no defense facilities near the castle has now built a simple wooden wall with the castle as the backing, and sentries have been set up everywhere. You can see it from a distance. The sentry looked into the distance.

With villages and castles as the core, signs of human activity finally appeared nearby. This scene was very different from the wild places where few people visited a few days ago. It was not easy to see his compatriots, even Calia's mood It was much better.

At the entrance of the village, the two of them saw a lot of people from a distance, and it seemed that they were coming to greet this group of teams that were out searching for resources.

Most of them were ordinary people in simple clothes, and a small number of soldiers surrounded a well-dressed man. A polished aristocratic man. Most of the people around him looked at him with fear and obedience, as if he was the master here.

Seeing the team that went out to search return, the aristocratic man couldn't wait to greet him, and he didn't talk to his soldiers and civilian husbands. After saying hello, he looked directly at the goods on their trolleys, as if he wanted to find something good among them.

However, what could be found in the ruins of the city?

Just some undamaged ironware such as candlesticks, knives and forks, and dishes. Such porcelain, various cloths, and food only have long-term storage types such as sausages, dried meats, and grains.

Then Ye Ting saw that the noble man's face looked much uglier.

"Is this all you found?"The man asked O'Niens,"It's okay if we didn't find the weapons and armor. Didn't we also find the batch of spices sent by Kul Tiras? And what about the tapestry I put in the town hall?"

Every time the man said something, O'Neill's head dropped a little bit.

"Sorry, sir, there are too many undead in the ruins. Our people can't go deep enough to enter the chamber of commerce's warehouse and city hall. We can only search the periphery."

The resolute and brave officer on the battlefield can only explain obediently now.

"Haven't you been bragging about how powerful your scouts are, able to sneak around even the most alert elk? You can't even do this now, what a waste!"

The immediate superior is unhappy, and naturally his subordinates are unhappy as well. The soldiers led by O'Niens were willing to take risks to find a few trucks of supplies from the ruins of a city full of dangers. They thought they had made a great contribution, but now they are being held responsible for this. , also lowered their heads.

The other civilians were even more afraid to speak.

However, Calia had fought side by side with those soldiers before, and she had some comradeship. She was not a subordinate of the nobles in front of her, so she spoke for the soldiers angrily. :

"I think they did their best. You should go and see for yourself. The center of the ruins of Andorhal is full of undead. Even the best stalkers dare not say that they can infiltrate there. It is normal for them not to be able to fulfill your request."

"oh? and who are you?"

As the local lords, the nobles here are equivalent to the local emperors. No one else, whether military or civilian, dared to disobey his orders. Now that he was suddenly refuted, he immediately became subconsciously dissatisfied.

He turned to look in the direction of Caliya, and then His eyes lit up.

The appearance of the woman in front of him was so beautiful that a small local village girl could not compare with her.

But before his heart was occupied by lust, the nobleman was suddenly startled and his pupils shrank.

He recognized the identity of the woman in front of him.

"Jia...Her Royal Highness Princess Calia?!"

"you know me?"After her identity was revealed like this, the girl raised her eyebrows.

"It is normal for Her Royal Highness the Princess not to recognize me."After confirming the girl's identity, the aristocratic man's expression changed in the blink of an eye. From the original irritation to politeness, he performed a knight's salute in a semblance of manner:"Your Majesty, Laurie Bishop, Andoha Baron Dalson of the Duchy of Er, I once had the honor to see your face in Lordaeron. Your beauty is something I will remember to this day. It is truly an honor for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come to Baron Dalson now. I just don’t know why the princess is traveling with her subordinates?"

"They just met in the ruins of Andorhal, and then fought off the undead together, that's all."Jalia explained a few words and then turned to the original topic:"So……"

Before she could excuse the soldiers again, Baron Bishop immediately said to the soldiers:"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess speaks for you, the punishment for not completing the mission this time will be cancelled. Now, send all the supplies to the warehouse. Then disband."

After hearing the baron's words, everyone pushed the cart away as if they were granted amnesty.

Seeing this scene, Caliya frowned and wanted to say something.

It wasn't until Ye Ting tugged at the corner of her clothes suggestively that she gave up.

After sending away his soldiers, Baron Bishop looked at Calia again, with a smile on his face that seemed to overflow:"Welcome to Your Highness the Princess. Since the undead natural disaster came, there have been no distinguished guests in Dalson for a long time recently. If you don't mind, please let me entertain you well."

Ye Ting pushed Jialia, so the princess nodded reluctantly and followed the baron in front of her into the village.
