Chapter 514 Puccilio arrives at Feiliu Castle
At noon in autumn, although the turbid sunshine has fallen, there is still a dry and cold atmosphere in the air.
Under the sun, the towering walls of Feiliu Bao dragged out a thick curtain of shadow, covering the land on the outskirts of the city.
Dust was flying on the broad road, and the low hum of horse hooves was mixed with the clang of metal armor.
Groups of elite mercenaries and domestic servants lined up, flanked by high-ranking knights wandering around, bringing with them nearly a thousand knights.
The Brokenhorn Ox family emblem, representing the most noble family in Thorn Garden, is flying on the land of Qianhe River Valley.
After nearly two months of preparation, the first batch of reinforcements from the Osla family finally arrived at Feiliu Castle at noon in late November.
Looking at the dust flying all over the sky, Prince Kong Dai snorted imperceptibly.
Although he needs the help of the Osla family, he still has not forgotten that it was the Osla family that funded Blue Bee and took away his throne.
But at this time
His face was stern, his eyes were sharp, but there was a just right smile on his face, covering up his anger and arrogance.
This is an attitude he has honed over the years of enduring humiliation and humiliation. Even when facing countless nobles who have ruined his family, he still has to put on this polite smile.
Among the many armored infantrymen, a dozen cavalrymen were guarding a young man wearing a gorgeous fine hunting suit with gold trim.
This man is naturally Puccilio, the patriarch of the Osla family, a famous family in the Thorn Garden, and the son of Duke Omes.
Facing the people who greeted him, Puccilio straightened his back, although deep down he already felt regretful and uneasy about this trip.
Especially when he saw the giant Prince Condai, his confident smile almost made him unable to hold back.
Puccilio's figure is not short, but he still looks so thin and short in front of Prince Condai's height of nearly three meters.
“Welcome to Feiliu Castle, my friend Puccilio.” Prince Condai laughed heartily and walked forward, giving Puccilio who dismounted his horse a huge hug.
"It's my honor to meet you, Your Excellency Prince... Hiccup... On behalf of the Osla family, I bring you a gift." The shoulders on both sides were almost squeezed together by Prince Condai, There was an impeccable smile on Puccilio's purple face, "A foal of a dragon's blood horse."
"Oh?" Prince Condai's original hearty smile showed an extra Somewhat sincerely.
You must know that for titled knights like Prince Condai, who are only one step away from becoming a great knight, they have already shown some of the characteristics of a great knight.
First of all, they are too tall and strong. Those who can carry them cannot be used as war horses, and those who can be qualified as war horses cannot be used as carriages.
No matter what horse Prince Condai rides, he always gives people the impression of a fat man riding a dog. Only a naturally tall horse like a dragon blood horse can bear his weight.
The price of a dragon-blood horse is usually over a thousand gold pounds, which is a price that Prince Condai cannot afford.
But the problem is that the dragon blood horse is a tribute from the Leia royal family. Although it can be bought for 800-1,000 gold pounds, not everyone is qualified to buy it.
As a remnant of the previous dynasty, Prince Condai had to make an appointment first if he wanted to buy a dragon-blooded horse, and then waited three to five years before one came out to him from the fingers of the nobles.
He had waited five years to get one, just for the sake of the old pope.
But in the blink of an eye, it was accidentally shot through the stomach by Horn with Ferdinand, the orichalcum bow.
“A good horse...but it’s too small.” Prince Condai said regretfully while stroking the mane of the colt whose mouth was clamped by an iron halter.
Such a pony has to wait at least a year and a half before it can be ridden, which is of no use to the current war.
It was just a minor dragon-blood horse, almost as big as the war horse next to it. Unfortunately, this size still couldn't carry Prince Kongdai.
This does not prevent Prince Condé from being a Hermes lover of this pony.
He and Puccilio were so busy discussing the foal that he almost forgot about the real thing.
Fortunately, Lacuneo, who was accompanying him, did not forget. Riding on horseback, he glanced at the army in front of him, but he slowly frowned.
There seem to be less than four thousand people here. Although it is a new force, it is not the same as Lacunho imagined.
"Your Excellency Puccilio, are these the first batch of reinforcements?"
"To be precise, they are the troops avenging Countess Marika." Puccilio said Prince Condai straightened the clothes that were wrinkled by Prince Condai, "This is not the first batch, but the whole army that came with me."
Prince Condai caressed the little pony without even looking at it. This way.
"Are these four thousand people the only ones?" Lacunio looked at the young man.
"Of course there are more than 4,000 people." Puccilio bowed to Lacunio first, and both parties introduced their family backgrounds and identities before continuing.
“My brother Derrick will lead a thousand family private soldiers to the gravel plains, and the local nobles will form a coalition army, ranging from three thousand to six thousand.
When the time comes, we will go to River County in the name of attacking the Salvation Army. Meliati will definitely not agree, and we will take the opportunity to attack and help you contain them. "
The army of Gravelfield... …
A flash of light flashed in Racunio's eyes, Ludwick was dead, and the Gray Knights were attacking Lujiao Township, together with the army of Ruishiyuan.
If Puccilio wasn't still here, La Cunho would have wanted to go back and look at the map and sand table immediately. He seemed to have discovered a perfect opportunity.
Prince Kong Dai, who had finished being intimate with the little dragon blood horse, patted the hoof prints on his thigh and turned around: "What are you talking about here? We'll talk about the business later. Come on, come on, you send me off If you give me a good horse, I will give you good wine.
Who, please bring the last barrel of blue blood wine out of the cellar. Please bring it to me.
Remember to bring this pony to me. I want to raise him personally, Your Excellency Puccilio, please come with me."
Puccilio, Prince Condé and Lacunio left the army, and Barney. Foss led the army towards the predetermined camp.
Back in the palace, the kitchen was already preparing a banquet, but neither party paid much attention to it. The habit of Leia nobles was to attach importance to dinner and despise lunch.
In their opinion, only those who cultivate the land value lunch because they have to work in the afternoon.
They, the disciples of the old Blue Bee Banner, were born to enjoy the blessings. When their father followed King Fergie Newman into Changsong City, he had done all the work he should do in his life.
Who will earn the money from the blind work? What about risking your life?
So at lunch, there were only a few cream pastries, filling jerky and a few pots of fruit on the table.
After a glass of ice-cold wine, Puccilio unbuttoned his collar and sat back on the carved soft chair in the tea room.
He glanced sideways and saw Prince Condai showing an appreciative and relaxed expression. He picked up the copper cup and took another sip to hide his proud smile.
Starting from the outskirts of the city, he found that Prince Condai seemed to be the kind of rough person, and he must like this informal style.
Proficiently changing expressions and styles is one of the reasons why Puccilio is loved and recognized by most core nobles.
Both of them were born into noble families, and their hobbies and interests were similar, including ceramics from Brand City, crystal glass from Shenmao Port, tea trees from Zealand Islands, and a very plump girl from Changsong City.
In complete contrast to the two of them, La Cunho had not touched any wine and was writing and drawing on the parchment map with a charcoal pencil.
It wasn’t until the two of them had finished chatting that La Cunho stopped holding the charcoal in his hand: “I wonder what your Excellency Puccilio wants from coming to Thousand Valley?”
Prince Condai and Puccilio both suppressed their original smiles, knowing that this was the time to get to the point.
"Of course it is to avenge Countess Mallika..."
"Your Excellency Puccilio, my palace is impregnable and no one can enter." interrupted Puccilio. After Ao's speech, Prince Condai pointed to the serving maids and male servants and said, "They are all illiterate mutes. Just say what you want to say.
Don't stop talking about revenge for Countess Marika. Even children can't be fooled by such talk. Let's make it clear, isn't it good? ”
