Chapter 319 Returning victoriously, the war is coming again
Yeats achieved great success in curling. News spread back to the Golden Lion from the frontier and soon caused a sensation in the three major provinces.
The scale of this victory is comparable to the victory of the Lionheart King at Morning Frost Ridge.
While dealing a heavy blow to the tribal forces, the reputation of Duke Honeysuckle spread throughout the two countries!
Golden Lion Domestic.
Duke Lannister had heard about the orc invasion for a long time, so he stood still and watched with cold eyes, wondering how his majesty's newly appointed duke would survive this crisis.
Until the battle report came, Duke Lannister locked himself in his study, racking his brains to figure out how Yeats did it!
The candlelight flickered, and Duke Lannister examined the parchment, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed wonder.
More than 10,000 orcs! Even if there were 10,000 pigs, the defenders would not be able to catch them all in three days, but the more than 10,000 orcs were completely wiped out in three days!
This miraculous victory was actually achieved by a young commander less than twenty years old. Duke Lannister was deeply surprised, and there was even a trace of fear in his heart.
The abilities displayed by Yeats far exceeded Duke Lannister's imagination!
His gloomy face looked a little pale in the dim study room. Looking at the shocking numbers in the battle report, sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yeats Brondi, known as the Duke of Honeysuckle, has become a powerful figure.
This is an upstart in the kingdom that cannot be controlled at all. If he becomes an enemy of Lannister in the future, it will create great resistance for Lannister!
The Duke of Lannister suddenly regretted that he did not show favor to Yeats, but instead interfered with his canonization ceremony.
But no one could have imagined that this young man would have such amazing execution and courage.
"Guarding the border, fighting against the orcs, and achieving great victory..." Duke Lannister murmured to himself, "Even better than his famous father!"
You can only blame me for being blind at first, Duke Lannister thought. Now, I can only find a way to make up for the relationship with him.
His fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and the sinister man's eyebrows showed worry, and he sighed:
"June seems to have a close personal relationship with Yeats, why not let her go on a mission?" Morningfrost Ridge, a gift... as a token of Lannister's goodwill."
After a while.
“Okay, I understand, father, don’t worry, I will go give Yeats a gift right away!”
Looking at June Lannister who was busy going out to collect gifts. .
Duke Lannister's face was full of confusion.
This is more than just turning the elbow outward...
You might as well just live in someone else's house!
White Night City.
In the Lord's Hall, there are piles of cheesecakes, baked puddings, and honey cookies on the table. The sweet smell arouses appetite.
Thomas looked solemn, waved his hand, pushed all the desserts aside, unfolded the battle report just sent from the front line, and read it carefully.
Soon, his expression became uncertain, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing shock.
After putting down the battle report in his hand, Thomas's face was full of shock, and he murmured in disbelief:
"Three days...just three days, Yeats has already defeated the orc army?"
< br>The battle report clearly pointed out that Yeats used the tactic of starvation, which caused the tens of thousands of orcs to defeat themselves without attack.
However, Thomas still felt puzzled.
After all, the grain transport team must be heavily guarded. Yeats was able to move deep into the enemy's hinterland while moving like the wind, repelling the defenders and burning the baggage. It can be said that he was both wise and brave.
The next moment, Thomas' eyes became solemn, and he thought to himself, before I even had time to send troops to Chenshuang Ridge, Yeats had already ended the battle like lightning. Now the morale of the garrison in Chenshuang Ridge is high, and they really can't compete with them.
However, after this battle, Yeats's prestige, personal strength, and power will further grow. If he misses this opportunity, his chances of winning in future competitions will become smaller and smaller.
Thomas stood up and paced back and forth in the Lord's Hall, his eyes fixed on the sweet cheese cake. He grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling the satisfaction brought by the sugar.
Thomas chewed the cake and gradually narrowed his eyes.
“The army in Chenshuang Ridge is as powerful as a rainbow and is invincible on the battlefield.”
"But Yeats fought many tribal chiefs, and he must have been injured..."
"I might as well give him a letter of challenge... Regarding the territorial issue, according to the tradition of the Golden Lion, in the form of a duel, Let’s decide the winner!”
Whether it’s Golden Lion or Roland, duel culture is prevalent among nobles. Whether it is a dispute over the ownership of treasures or even territory, the outcome can be reached on the duel field.
White Night City is nominally Yeats's territory, but it is currently occupied by Thomas. Both parties have the position and qualifications to take over White Night City. At this time, compared to war, a duel is simpler and more effective. means.
What’s more important is that, in Thomas’ view, this duel is just waiting for work. Yeats has just experienced many battles. If he is willing to take up this challenge, he still has a good chance of winning!
Tie a challenge to a white-faced owl's leg and send it flying to Morningfrost Ridge.
Thomas stared at the owl messenger flying away and nodded with satisfaction:
"The advantage is mine!"
*
Morning Frost Ridge.
When Yeats returned, a grand triumphal ceremony was held in the territory.
In the cold winter months, the young Duke, riding a snow-white horse, paraded around the city center square to the impassioned march.
Colorful flags were flying, cheers were loud, the whole street was filled with water, and the warm atmosphere seemed to melt the flying snow in the sky.
After this battle, the name of honeysuckle has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Yeats also ordered people to hang the flag of the honeysuckle coat of arms on the streets of triumph.
At this moment, the flag of honeysuckle is stretched in the wind over the territory, and the cheers like a tide are endless.
On a terrace with a wide view, a blond girl wearing a white dress and pearl earrings looked like a noble and beautiful swan, her blue eyes staring at the triumphant figure of the hero.
Colin stood in Theresa's shadow, just like standing behind the Lionheart King, silently, and slowly said:
"Your Highness, the battle on the front line is over... ...It’s time for you to return to the Lion Palace as soon as I arrive. Your Majesty, he must miss you very much.”
Teresa nodded gently and said: “I understand, but please give me some more time.” Say goodbye to His Excellency Yeats."
Ke Lin was startled, and something strange flashed through his heart, thinking that His Highness might be...
Teresa smiled slightly, as if she had penetrated Colin's mind, and said:
"Excellent people always have something worthy of our love and learning."
"Here on the front line. Over time, I learned a lot." Teresa lowered her eyes, put her hands on her chest, and said softly, "These valuable experiences will become the basis for my future judgments... and now..."
< br>Teresa looked at the figure of the young Duke in the crowd, listening to the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, her eyes were soft, and she smiled:
"Let me and everyone celebrate this victory together. .”
The voice of high reputation and praise echoed in Yeats's ears.
"Long live the Duke!"
"For Morning Frost Ridge, for the Duke of Honeysuckle!"
The victory was obvious to all, and the praise was full of sincerity. Yeats looked around the crowd and said The faces that may be familiar or unfamiliar reveal admiration, excitement and awe.
Yeats couldn't help but feel emotional.
In just one and a half years, the territory has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has gone from a declining baron to a popular duke.
Right now, this big victory at Curling Pass is enough to severely weaken the orc tribe, and they will not dare to invade Morning Frost Ridge for a long time in the future. However, it is far from time to sit back and relax.
First of all, the battle with Thomas is related to the pattern of the northern province.
If he can be defeated, other nobles in the northern province will not pose a threat.
Secondly, according to the direction of the plot, the civil war between the Lannister and Vic families will break out soon. At that time, it will be necessary for him to stop this civil war to avoid internal friction in the national power of the Golden Lion Kingdom and help Theresa ascend to the throne.
This is not only a promise made to the Lionheart King, but also Yeats’s own position.
However, at least today, we can have a feast and enjoy the fruits of victory!
Sword Winter Castle.
The atmosphere of the dinner is strong.
All the courtiers attended the banquet, and Phokas and Ax, who had distinguished themselves in the battle of Curling Pass, received admiration and greetings from everyone.
Yeats also emphatically praised the performance of the two men, and thought about how to help them advance to the fifth ring, thereby improving the overall combat power of the territory.
Phocas’s peak strength is the fourth ring. If he wants to advance further, he still has to rely on the power of magic potion. Knights who believe in the God of War can rely on [Leyline Bull Potion] and [Human-Faced Lion Potion] to complete their promotion.
The Leyline Bull is relatively common than the Moon Pig, while the Human-Faced Giant Lion only appears in the deserts of the Southern Continent.
Yeats has already sent a message to Lena from the Starlight Chamber of Commerce, asking her to help pay attention to the idle five-ring [Emperor Snake Potion] in his hand and exchange it if necessary.
As a Vulcan believer, Akers, a kind of [Saloman Snake Potion] with regenerative ability, is very suitable for him.
The Saloman snake, named Snake, is actually an elf representing the element of fire. It is shaped like a salamander and only appears in high-temperature volcanic craters.
This creature radiates hot flames, but its body is very cold. The reason is that it secretes a mucus to protect its body from the effects of high temperatures.
After Vulcan believers digest the extraordinary power contained in [Saloman Snake Potion], they will have the ability to be immune to fire. The current Akers will still be counterattacked by the flames of fighting spirit. If he can obtain this ability, his combat power will definitely be greatly improved!
While Yeats was thinking.
In order not to alarm everyone, Hilud went to the back garden and summoned the giant wolf Frye from the familiar plane.
“What is this?”
The giant wolf Fry looked at the soup Hilud put in front of him, and saw traces of ham and scallops floating on the steaming soup surface. And colloid, incomprehensible and authentic.
“Try the shark fin soup that Yeats personally made for you.” Hillud said.
Giant Wolf Fry was stunned for a moment, looking back and forth at the shark fin soup, with a subtle tone:
"Isn't this made from the fin of the Bloodtooth Shark?"
"Who knows?" Hillud said.
Giant Wolf Fry hesitated for a long time, but decided to have a taste. As a soul body, it still retains its sense of taste, and every year the tribe brings offerings to him, which it will also happily enjoy.
At the moment of entrance, the giant wolf Frye's eyes widened.
The next moment, it buried its head in the basin and started gobbling it up!
Herod: "...be more restrained."
Giant Wolf Frye: "It's so delicious! Yeats's cooking skills are very good, quite good!"
Xilud De smiled hoarsely and said:
"After all, his culinary skills are enough to make even the goddess of the night pay attention."
The giant wolf Fry was stunned and thoughtful. .
In this case... the reason why the senior who is suspected of being Ratatosk follows Yeats...
Could it also be related to Yeats's miraculous culinary skills?
At the banquet.
Envoys came to visit one after another.
The "Frost Whisperer" Philus, who had met Yeats at the Aurora Poetry Society, claimed to represent the will of King Hallagh of North County and came to present Yeats with a pair of amber horn cups. Indicates that His Majesty invites Yeats to visit Oslo when he is free in the future.
"At that time, His Majesty will personally host a banquet for you." Philus said respectfully.
The Fourth Ring Mage who needed to be looked up to at the beginning has now become quite humble.
Yeats played with the beautifully crafted horn cup and found that it was a treasure that could cure poisoning, but it was of little use to himself who had the blessing.
Yeats returned intact and said with a smile:
“Thank you to the king for my kindness, and I will definitely visit you next time!”
Seeing this, Philus felt a little regretful, but said nothing and stood up respectfully to say goodbye.
During the banquet, June Lannister also came to visit with gifts. The gifts were precious spices from the southern continent, which are more precious than gold, and ten barrels of olive oil sold by the Youth Cult. It is said to have the effect of preventing diseases.
Yeats accepted it happily and invited June to the table.
"My father was very shocked by your performance this time. He locked himself in the study and pondered over the battle report all night."
June said bluntly: "He The purpose of letting me visit this time is to apologize for the little tricks he did before.”
"I accepted the gift." Yeats said calmly, "But that doesn't mean I forgive it."
June:?
“You’re quite vindictive!” June smiled, “But, you’re a lot like me in this regard... Forget it, let’s not talk about unpleasant things, which dishes were you cooked by yourself?”< br>
“No.” Yeats said, “I just returned home triumphantly, so I don’t have time to cook.”
June was not interested: “I’m going back.”
Yeats: "..."
Do you want it to be so real!
“Your Majesty the Duke!”
Butler Derek stepped forward quickly, holding the parchment in his hand.
“A letter has been sent from Baiye City and I want you to read it in person!”
Yeats nodded slightly, unfolded the parchment and read it, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
This is actually a letter of challenge from Thomas!
"What is written in the letter?" June was a little curious, "I can't say, just pretend I didn't ask!"
"Duke Thomas, asked me to decide the White Night City in a duel. "
Yeats said calmly: "The place is decided by him, and the time is decided by me, to show fairness!"
June was slightly startled and said: "You two have been fighting openly and secretly for so long, and in the end you ended up using such a hasty method?"
"A duel is not hasty, it is the glory of a knight."
< br>Yeats rubbed his chin and murmured:
"The simplest way is the most effective way. Maybe this is called...conspiracy!"
