Chapter 276 Horsh County II

Dean and his party were invited by the guards to enter the city of Hosh. They waited for the news of the great Norton knight in a post behind the city gate. This is a building made of solid wood. It is short and narrow. After burning a brazier, there was only room for three people to stand.

Obviously, this outpost is more of a sentry post.

Rejecting the guard's invitation to go up the tower to enter the real outpost, Dean and the archduke's swordsman entered the outpost and waited quietly.

"Instructor, are you familiar with that Mort Karl Silver Knight?"

Standing by the brazier, Dean asked suddenly.

Of course, such a question does not have any special meaning, it is just pure curiosity.

Dean still has some understanding of Mort Karl who only had a "one-sided relationship" - in Dean's memory, the other party fell in Horsh County, died in battle, and accompanied Earl Horsh Fulfilling the promises of nobles and knights; Dean has considerable admiration for this silver knight.

After all, under the circumstances at that time, if the opponent really wanted to run, he would definitely be able to rush out.

Under such a premise, the opponent chose to die in battle. Just this point was enough for Dean to classify the opponent into the friendly camp.

And in order to get to know the other party better, Dean naturally wanted to ask the Grand Duke Swordsman who seemed to be quite familiar with the other party.

"Mott once traveled to the three southern counties. I have fought against him several times, and after that, we have developed some friendship! It's not what you think, it's just mutual admiration because of strength!"

The archduke's swordsman said simply; however, when he saw Dean's thoughtful expression, he frowned. Added a sentence.

"Well, I know!"

Dean nodded.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, this is trying to cover up. But with the Grand Duke's swordsman, it is completely feasible.

after all. The other party doesn't like men.

When Dean knew this in his last life, he was in a bad mood.

but,

This life is here and then, get used to it.

Of course, for the sake of the teacher-friend relationship between the two parties, Dean would never say it so bluntly.

There are some secrets that always need to be hidden in the bottom of my heart.

It's like a secret in his own heart. You can't tell anyone else, can you?

Because he already knew the secret of the Grand Duke Swordsman, Dean was very calm when faced with the explanation of the Grand Duke Swordsman.

As if, as it should.

However, such a reaction made the Archduke Swordsman a little puzzled.

She could see that Dean was actually approving of her explanation, not making excuses - which was certainly a good thing. Compared with her usual explanations, the jokes of friends and companions around her are undoubtedly much stronger.

but. Inexplicably, the Archduke Swordsman always felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that my secret has been discovered?"

Subconsciously, such thoughts arose in the Grand Duke's swordsman's heart.

However, soon, she shook her head, throwing such thoughts out of her mind - because, she can be sure, she did not show any flaws.

Whether it's with Dean. When Dean was not around, he was very cautious.

Even when teaching the daughter of Baron Tyre. She also tried her best to restrain herself.

"It's because of our relationship, so. Do you trust me?"

The thought in his heart, the swordsman who led the Grand Duke subconsciously looked at Dean. In this small and narrow outpost, Dean was still standing upright, like a javelin, and the giant sword stood on his side like this. Next to him, there was a faint smell of blood, which was enough to make ordinary people turn pale with fright and feel fear in their hearts.

However, the Archduke's swordsman is not like this. Her military career has already made her used to this kind of atmosphere, and she even feels closer.

And under the light of the flames, Dean's side face was flickering, showing the determination and sharpness of a warrior on the battlefield.

"It's a pity that it's a man..."

The archduke's swordsman watched Dean, and finally sighed silently.

Dean naturally felt the sight of the Grand Duke Swordsman, but he didn't care—in this small, narrow outpost, just the two of them, whether there was anything to care about around them, and their eyes were on each other's Naturally, it is a very normal thing; moreover, based on the relationship between the two parties, there is no malice in such a scrutiny.

So Dean took it lightly.

Coupled with some plans in his mind for this trip to the south, Dean couldn't care less about these trivial matters.

For a while, in the outpost, apart from the crackling sound of dry firewood in the brazier, there was tranquility.

However, when a series of slightly heavy footsteps sounded outside, Dean subconsciously pushed open the door of the outpost——

A group of people dressed in different clothes, some in leather armor, some in steel armor, and a few in cotton robes, the man with all kinds of weapons in his hands appeared in front of the outpost.

"Mercenary?"

Dean frowned.

Originally, Dean thought it was the Earl Hosh who had arrived, but what he didn't expect was a group of mercenaries.

Of course, and more importantly, Dean felt a strong sense of malice from these mercenaries - it was really obvious to see the slightly provocative waving of weapons and the sarcasm of the mercenaries.

"stop!"

Chad and Maher yelled and stopped the mercenaries, and the veterans of the Knights of Fei Chalun all drew their weapons in unison.

They didn't have a good impression of the mercenaries themselves, and coupled with the hostile intentions shown by these mercenaries in front of them, almost immediately, Chad and Maher included each other in the ranks of the enemy.

"Oh, what's the matter? Is this the etiquette in Vauban County? What a disappointment!"

The slippery and deep voice sounded, which made people unconsciously disgusted, especially when the owner of the voice came out, it made the young people of Fechalen Knights frown.

With a thin figure, cheeks, and narrow eyes, no matter how you look at it, you have a mean look.

Plus that bright red tongue. The licking back and forth at the corner of the mouth made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

"Etiquette in Vauban County? What is your status, do you want to treat you with the etiquette of a county? Just rely on your status as a vulture or ghoul on the battlefield? Etiquette in Vauban County. It's not that cheap! "

Dean stood there, speaking slowly. The sound spread clearly around.

Immediately, the expressions of the leading mercenary and the surrounding mercenaries changed.

However, they have no way to refute - because, as Dean said, their identities are not qualified!

Seriously speaking, mercenaries are just more free people.

There is no respectable status such as nobles.

even. In some places, they are generally expelled as thieves.

And the leader, Rolt, the captain of the second team of the Lion Mercenary Corps, hated him deeply. He didn't expect that he wanted to taunt the other party, but the other party seized the opportunity.

A sharp-tongued guy!

While cursing in such a low voice in his heart, Rolt remained the same on the surface. He looked at Dean and asked knowingly, "Is this Lord Dean Ken Zelgaon?"

"When did civilians stop being polite to nobles and call them by their first names?"

Dean didn't answer the other directly. Just sneered a few times.

When civilians meet nobles, they usually greet the nobles with etiquette such as taking off their hats, or simply bending over and kneeling on one knee.

but. In most cases, a hat-off is more appropriate.

Of course, in some places, kneeling worship is the mainstream - for example: Xiti!

"You're offending me, you know? Or...you can't understand the crime of offending nobles at all? You really should be hanged here, as an example to others!"

Seeing the change in the other's face, Dean didn't stop, but continued talking.

The other party has already shown strong hostility, so it is the enemy.

And for the enemy. Naturally, Dean would not show mercy.

"Earl Hosh is really too kind to let you lowly things walk on the streets calmly—compared to the citizens, you jackals. The gutter is the place where you should stay... "

With a hint of slanderous nature, Dean said every word, but very fast.

Immediately, the faces of the mercenaries who came to make trouble in front of them changed from bright to dark in such words, especially Rolt, who encouraged most of them to come, his face was completely ashen.

"I, I, want to challenge you!"

In the end, the second captain of the Lion Mercenary Group, who was only planning to taunt Dean, roared.

"Challenge me, are you worthy?"

Although Dean wished for the other party to be like this, the sneer at the corner of his mouth remained.

After all, the other party is a great knight at any rate, and he is still hostile. Once he is let go and tricks him secretly, it is likely to cause him some trouble.

Coupled with the identity of the opponent's lion mercenary group, Dean has no reason to let the opponent go.

As for why Dean is so sure?

Apart from the Lion Mercenary Group, Dean couldn't think of anyone else who could have Grand Knight-level mercenaries in Horsh County.

As for this mercenary regiment who had been taken care of by the King of Horsh County many times, but when the Xiti soldiers approached the city, they directly defected, Dean had no more emotions at all except for the killing accident.

To put it simply, the lion mercenary group except for a few people.

Dean was going to kill them all if he could.

However, what Dean didn't expect was that before he had figured out what to do, the other party came to his door!

Of course, Dean would not let go of such a good opportunity.

However, considering the face of that Earl Hosh, Dean would never propose it, but was waiting for the other party, as if now——

"I am Rolt, the captain of the second team of the Lion Mercenary Corps!"

As if to prove his qualifications, Rolt roared loudly.
