Chapter 279 Banquet Ⅰ
Not only the great knight Norton, but the silver knight Mot Carr also appeared in front of Dean, and the middle-aged man who was dressed in aristocratic clothing with a blue background and white border beside the silver knight was naturally the county of Hosh County King: Earl Hosh.
The earl's skin is fair, his figure is slightly fat, and his curly hair hangs over his shoulders, which is obviously carefully groomed, and a wrinkle at the corner of his eyes shows his true age. , with a slightly upturned mouth, always with a smile.
No sarcasm or disdain, just a habitual smile.
The appearance of a good gentleman can easily make people feel good.
In fact, this Earl Hosh is a good gentleman among the four kings of the four northern counties.
This is true not only for the citizens and soldiers under his jurisdiction, but also for outsiders.
Just like the former Lion Mercenary Group, if it weren't for the support of the earl, it would never have developed to the point where it is now comparable to a local knight group.
And at this time, the earl, seeing Dean and the Grand Duke Swordsman walking out, came over on his own initiative——
"Your Excellency 'White Rose', and Lord Zelgang, I'm really sorry before, my subordinates are really offended!"
said the Count apologetically.
Very decent, without concealment, admitting mistakes frankly.
I don't know how many times stronger than those guys who don't repent.
However, Dean frowned in his heart.
Because, Dean keenly noticed the earl's address to those mercenaries: "My subordinates"!
Such a title is enough to attract Dean's attention.
After all, this meant that he wanted to wipe the Lion Mercenaries from Horsh County. The difficulty is definitely rising in a straight line. He might even face the Earl Hosh directly.
And that's definitely not what Dean wants to see.
As for frankly speaking?
What the earl called those mercenaries before. Enough to make Dean give up on this unreliable idea.
Even though Earl Hosh showed his calmness and grandeur,
But Dean is very clear that this is based on 'the other party's mistake'. If there is no mistake at all and he is 'slandered', Dean believes that this Earl of Horsh will definitely not do nothing, let alone What's more, the head of the lion mercenary group is not a guy to be underestimated.
Able to have subordinates at the Grand Knight level. It is also possible to have such a good relationship with the king of a county.
Whether it is its own strength, prestige, or wrist, it is worthy of Dean's attention.
"If you can't do it overnight, you need to figure it out!"
With a plan in mind, Dean responded to the earl with a smile——
"It's an honor to meet you, Earl Horsh, I was too much before!"
Dean said so.
Dean, who has already won the final victory and got quite a bit of XP, shows his humility, especially when facing a good old man like Earl Horsh, it is not difficult.
"I have prepared a welcome banquet. Please follow me!"
Facing the slightly humble Dean, Earl Hosh immediately smiled. He extended an invitation to Dean and the archduke's swordsman.
Three carriages appeared not far away.
One belonged to Earl Hosh himself, one belonged to Dean, and the remaining one belonged to the Archduke Swordsman.
Although Dean came on horseback, in order to show Earl Hosh's respect, riding in a carriage is a must.
The young people of the Fitzgerald Knights followed Dean's carriage - the front one was naturally Earl Hosh's own carriage, followed by the Grand Duke's swordsman. According to his status, Dean's carriage was at the back; therefore, The Feichalun Knights can easily follow behind, and they are divided into left and right followers with the Horsh County cavalry.
However, this is only a part of the Horshshire cavalry in the team.
In front of the team, on both sides of the Earl of Hosh, there are still many cavalry from Hosh County.
Each of them has a bright armor and a heroic appearance, looking like an elite soldier.
However, when the young men of the Feichalun Knights suddenly appeared beside them, although these cavalrymen were still brightly armored, they were a bit inappropriate for their heroism.
A special aura appeared behind the young people of the Fei Chalun Knights, which slightly discounted the extraordinary prowess of these cavalrymen.
And this scene fell into Mort Karl's eyes, feeling the bloody smell that seemed to emanate from his body, but made the eyes of the silver knight who hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end shrink.
"Blooded Soldiers!"
Mot Karl commented like this, and then, looking at the last carriage, he had more scrutiny.
Snapped!
When everyone was seated, the driver of Earl Horsh's carriage waved his whip.
Immediately, the whole team followed suit.
Horsemen in Hoshshire must have a straight back, neatly aligned, and step in step.
On the other side, the young people of the Fei Chalun Knights were in a slightly bowed figure, and their war horses were walking slowly forward in small steps.
This scene fell in the eyes of the civilians in Horsh County who were watching on both sides. Naturally, they thought that their own cavalry was better, and subconsciously smiled more.
But in the eyes of some people who are familiar with the military, there is a slight change in their complexion.
Because, the young people of the Feichalun Knights entered the state of vigilance the moment they set off, and they could attack and charge violently at any time to deal with unexpected situations.
And the Hoshshire cavalry...
Stronger than the guard of honor.
"Where did the elite soldiers come from? It's almost like the knights under the Marquis of York!"
The silver knight had more doubts in his heart, and looked at Dean's carriage with more scrutiny.
However, these have nothing to do with Dean.
Dean, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the previous XP gains——
【xp+280】
This seemingly ordinary message made Dean think about the overall strength of the Lion Mercenary Corps.
Except for the 100xp given by the 'snake man' Rolt, the remaining 180xp were all given by the opponent's subordinates. Twelve people gave 180xp. enough to show. These mercenaries are extraordinary.
And more importantly, the 'snake man' Rolt in the lion mercenary group is just one of the captains.
Even if the ranking of the queue is divided according to strength.
The opponent is the second team, which is the strongest other than the first team. However, this kind of strength is definitely not insurmountable like a natural moat, at most it is the strength of the leader.
Just like Kesde, the captain of the first team of the Lion Mercenary Corps, is a great knight, so is the captain of the second team, 'Snakeman' Rolt. But Kasted is obviously better than Rolt.
Therefore, Kasted became the captain of the first team, and Rolt was the captain of the second team.
Therefore, the lion mercenary group is the most noteworthy, except for the group leader and several captains, etc., are the mercenaries under the opponent's command.
"If they are not dealt with properly, these mercenaries are definitely more troublesome than bandits; after all, in order to continue to survive, the bandits nearby know not to kill chickens to get eggs; but these mercenaries are different, after they lose their restraint. They will be like locusts, wreaking havoc around—everywhere they pass. Not a single blade of grass will be left! After all, they won’t stay here anymore, and they don’t need any consideration at all!”
Dean's fingers tapped lightly on the window frame inside the carriage.
"It must be a fatal blow!"
Dean tapped his finger on the window frame of the carriage, paused slightly, and the plan in his heart was added again.
...
With the sound of wheels and wheels, the carriage passed through the lower city and upper city of Horsh City, and finally stopped in the inner city——
When Dean got out of the carriage, the first thing that caught his eyes was a large stretch of buildings that looked like mountains, with layers upon layers of different heights and sizes.
There is a clear distinction between residences and towers.
In it, Dean also found two buildings similar to military camps.
Except for the barracks, Dean didn't think there would be other possibilities for that kind of wide playground.
"The inner city of Huosh City is built on the mountain itself. Every time you enter, you need to go up the mountain road. Even if there is no strong city, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack!"
While Dean was looking at the inner city of Horsh City in front of him, Mot Karl, the silver knight, came over and introduced the inner city of Horsh City with a smile.
"Dean, is this the second time we've met? Although the first time I was in a coma... don't you mind if I call you Dean?"
The Silver Knight shrugged self-deprecatingly.
The last time the two sides met was at the auction of the Marquis of Vauban. That time coincided with the Brotherhood's attack. The Silver Knight was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Then, after a series of treatments, the Marquis of Vauban sent someone to send the silver knight back to Horsh County.
Therefore, this can be regarded as the second meeting between the two parties.
"Of course, Mort!"
Dean nodded with a smile at the character of the other party's real knight in the Blood Moon War in his previous life.
"I heard that your talent is 'Giant Transformation'?"
Facing Dean's address, the Silver Knight laughed, and then asked directly.
Although under normal circumstances, it is disgusting to inquire about the talents of knights, but Dean's almost "public" situation is a special case.
"Yes, I'm lucky!"
Therefore, Dean has nothing to hide.
"It's not just good luck, gold-level reserve, this can't be explained simply by luck... Moreover, the strength you have shown now is far beyond that of ordinary great knights, and you are starting to approach the silver level. I just completed my first knight baptism more than two months ago, which really shocked me, who always thought of myself as a 'genius'!"
Mott shrugged his shoulders, curled his mouth, and looked shocked. It was hard to think that this was a silver knight.
"However, this cannot change the fact that you are a genius. You are just in your early thirties, and you are already a Silver Knight. This is a height that no one else can reach in their lifetime!"
Dean said with a smile.
"Yeah, a height that other people can't reach in their lifetime... But why do I feel that you are boasting? You must know that you have a chance to become gold!"
Mott nodded first, and then couldn't help but add something.
For the latter sentence, Dean threw his hands together, signaling his innocence.
Then, with a chuckle, the two walked along the mountain road. In front of them were the Earl Hosh and the archduke's swordsman, and behind them were the young men of the Feichalun Knights and Hosh. County cavalry.
Obviously, Mott came to talk, definitely not at random, but a mutual symmetry between identities.
This is a kind of etiquette among nobles.
However, for such etiquette, Dean just doesn't hate it.
