In the early morning of January 30, a group of knights with bright clothes and angry horses came to the foot of Cole City. The silver-white battle armor, the snow-white horse, the sword with a golden cross handle, and the sun badge worn on the left chest all represent their noble status as the Holy Light Knights of the Divine Court and the most loyal warriors around the Lord.
Martin walked at the front of the team. He glanced at the small city before his eyes and frowned slightly: "Lanling's army and the Eagle Mercenary Group relied on such a weak city defense to fight against the Sunset Army. How is this any different from risking death?"
"The news of Link's appointment with Prince Duis has already spread a lot. He even received the news from the Divine Court early. "Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!" Although there were instructions from the top to investigate the dark magic and not get involved in the war between the two countries, given the special situation of Cole City and the current situation, he had to spend more time to understand the situation here.
When Martin and the knights arrived at the city gate, Simon, who had already been drowsy by the sun, immediately cheered up and led a group of people to greet them.
"Simon, the priest of the Divine Court in Cole City, Lanling Principality, welcomes the Holy Knight!"
"On behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Mok and Her Royal Highness Princess Yunina, Commander-in-Chief of Lanling Frontline Zhu En, welcomes the Holy Knight to Cole City!"
Martin looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but be a little surprised. As a special envoy of the Divine Court, it is normal for Simon to come to greet him. However, Lanling's general also came to greet him personally, which caused some problems. When he thought that Cole City was currently at war with the Sunset Empire, his heart suddenly felt like a mirror.
Turning over and dismounting, Martin looked at Simon. He smiled and said, "Priest Simon, I'm just here to deal with some minor matters within the Divine Court. Why do you need to alert General June?"
After saying that, he nodded slightly to Zhu En: "General Lao came to greet you despite his busy schedule. Martin felt very uneasy!"
"Lord Martin, you are serious. Now that the sunset army is approaching, we are taking the opportunity to welcome you to come out and breathe! Otherwise, we really don't dare to leave the city, for fear that we will become prisoners of Duis accidentally!" June smiled. road.
Accompanied by several guards, Martin walked toward the city while chatting with June and others. The hundreds of knights accompanying him were also picked up by people sent by June and taken to the temporary campsite.
"Link. Do you think this is useful?" on the street. Yuna looked back at the large number of citizen representatives behind her and frowned.
"Are you doubting me, dear?" Link looked at her and said dissatisfied.
"How dare I?" Yuna sighed. "I'm just a little worried. The audience was unimpressed after my performance. How do I leave the stage?"
"This is not very feasible. According to the information I have, this Holy Knight Martin is shrewd and mature. He acts cautiously. It is indeed difficult to open a gap from him." Link said, "But a young man like him who has achieved success at a young age is really difficult." , usually there are two weaknesses.¡±
"What two weaknesses?" Yuna asked happily. Others' weaknesses are often Link's opportunities.
"First, I love saving face! Second, I feel sad about being a beauty." Link said.
After Martin entered the city, he didn't go far when he saw a young woman walking towards him along the street surrounded by people. The woman is very beautiful. She is dressed in civilian clothes, which cannot conceal her elegance and nobility.
"Princess Yunina of Lanling, on behalf of her father and the people of Lanling, respectfully welcomes Lord Martin, the special envoy of the Divine Court. May the merciful Lord of God forgive the sin of killing in the world, and may the glory of the Lord of God drive away the bloody clouds of the earth!"
The woman came straight to Martin, bent down and bowed slightly, and said sadly.
Martin's face hardened, and he hurriedly returned the courtesy with the courtesy of a knight, saying loudly: "The princess met you, and Martin was so frightened!"
Although Lanling is small, it still nominally has the same status as other countries in the mainland, and Yunina's identity is far more noble than a paladin of the Divine Court. She met him on the street in person, which surprised Martin and also caught him off guard.
"A weak country and a weak people are like lotuses in the rain and drifting flowers in the wind. In the eyes of many people, the identity of the princess is just the laughing stock that caused this war." Yuna said lightly.
"Although Lanling was weak, Martin was moved and admired by the princess's heroic performance on the battlefield. And the character of Lanling's soldiers and civilians in this war also won the respect of the world. Martin I believe that after this war is over, Lanling will welcome a new tomorrow!" Martin said with emotion.
What he said was not entirely rhetorical, but also his personal views on the war. When everyone thought that Lanling would succumb to the powerful sunset and Princess Yunina was destined to become a victim, she and her country loudly said no to power and embarked on the arduous road of war.
After listening to his words, Yuna smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you are very grateful. We have devoted all our efforts, and we have just ushered in a slight turning point in the war. I originally hoped to persist until the peace talks and persist until the sunset army retreats, but it is a pity that well!"
"What a pity?" Yuna sighed, making Martin couldn't help but ask.
"Someone was dazzled by the victory and stimulated Duis hard."
"Link, the leader of the Condor Mercenary Group?" Martin asked. When he came to Cole City, he had always hoped to see with his own eyes this extraordinary young man who changed the direction of the War of the Roses.
"Yeah." Yuna nodded, "What's even worse is that Duis seems to take what he said seriously!"
"h¨£oxi¨¤ng yes. On the way here, I saw that Duis's army was marching towards the city."
"Now that things have come to this point, there is no way out. For my future happiness, in order to defend the dignity of the country and the final glory of the Lanling royal family, I am determined to lead my army in a decisive battle against the Sunset Empire in Cole City." You. Na said absolutely.
Martin mingb¨¢i means what she means. She can't blame Link, because with the appearance of ruguom¨¦iyou, the War of the Roses may be over. However, facing this war, she did not have confidence. It seemed that since she came to greet Ziji in person, she must have something she wanted him to help with.
"I came to Cole City under the orders of the Divine Court to investigate the matter of dark magic. I will not and cannot intervene in this war. I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess will understand and forgive me!" With this in mind, in order to avoid rejecting Yunina Feeling embarrassed, Martin took the lead in expressing his attitude.
"I'm aware of this. However, I just need a few days to prepare. The people of Cole City have always served the Lord of God with the greatest sincerity. I believe that the Lord of God will have mercy on his servants." Yuna said, placing a list Passed it into Martin's hand.
This is a list of donations made by Cole City nobles and businessmen to the Divine Court. The amount on it is as much as three million gold coins.
Martin hesitated for a moment, looked at Yuna and asked solemnly: "How many days do you need to stay?"
"The Sunset Army is expected to complete the siege of Cole City the day after tomorrow." Yuna said, "Starting from today, I will need five days to complete." (To be continued.)
