Chapter 280 Banquet II
Dean and Mort talked as they walked.
The latter introduced the entire inner city of Horsh City to Dean, especially some buildings with age or special significance, which were extremely detailed——
"That sentry tower is the first sentry tower in the inner city. With its existence, Hosh City began to be built in a real sense. It is understandable to say that it is the biggest hero of Hosh City and the 'first building' !"
Mott pointed to a guard tower in the distance and introduced.
It was a sentry tower that could feel the breath of time just by looking at its appearance.
It is made of dark brown bricks and stones, and the outer wall has been slightly mottled. Black and green moss has emerged from the cracks in the wall, and the height of about ten feet is built on a high cliff on the ridge, where It was originally the highest point of this mountain, and after being raised again, it is undoubtedly possible to clearly see the entire Hosh City and everything beyond it when standing on it.
On the sentry tower, two figures obviously noticed this place and bowed slightly to salute.
Obviously, even at this time, there are guards there, serving the original function of the sentry tower.
"If there are one or two sharpshooters serving as sentries, you can clearly see the surroundings even at night... What a good sentry tower!"
Dean admired.
Of course, it's just good.
After all, in Dean's view, even if Horsh City could see invaders similar to Xiti in advance, it would be impossible to resist with the quality of those soldiers.
Therefore, that sentry tower is just not bad.
At least, let the unprepared battle become prepared.
Of course. The results are only based on current standards. There is no change.
"Well. This sentry tower is one of our important military buildings! Dean, your subordinates are very good, how did you train them?"
Hearing Dean's appreciation, Mott nodded happily, and then asked along the way.
In fact, he had such a question when he saw the young people of the Feichalun Knights.
Can hold back until now. It is enough to show the patience of the silver knight.
"Actual combat,
Continuous combat! "
Dean didn't hide too much, and said truthfully.
"Continuous actual combat?"
Mott frowned, subconsciously talking to himself.
"Well, there are a lot of bandits near my Zelgaon Territory, especially in the depths of the snowy forest, there are thousands of bandits... Those bandits are my soldiers' best opponents!"
Dean nodded.
"What about the casualties? Will it be huge?"
Mott asked.
"I'm trying my best to control it, so it's still acceptable! At least. I didn't give more pensions!"
Dean laughed again.
Although he really wanted to conceal this fact, there was something about the record of the Fechalen Knights. There is no way to hide it. You only need to go to Vauban County to inquire about it.
So it's far better to be honest.
"In terms of commanding troops, you must be better than me!"
Involuntarily, Mott admired him like this.
Afterwards, before arriving at Earl Horsh's real mansion, the direction of the two's discussions changed from the surrounding buildings and scenery to battles, battle formations, and military training.
However, after just a simple conversation, Dean discovered Mott's previous humility.
Whether it's military training or small group battles, the opponent has considerable experience.
Moreover, it is definitely not the kind of talk on paper.
"Mott, have you ever fought pirates in the South?"
Dean asked.
"Did Etris tell you? Well, I spent half a year fighting pirates there..."
Mott was taken aback, but then he reacted, and after nodding, a look of reminiscence and fascination appeared on the face of the silver knight.
Looking at the appearance of the other party, Dean stopped speaking very appropriately.
Until entering Earl Hosh's mansion——
"Because of the haste, it's a bit crude, please forgive me!"
After simply arranging the accommodation, Dean and the archduke's swordsman walked into the hall of Earl Horsh's mansion. Looking at the two people who walked in, the earl couldn't help but say.
Undoubtedly, these were once again polite words.
The red carpet has a soft feeling as soon as you step on it, and twenty long tables are lined up in two rows, and each long table is six feet long and four feet wide. Food, starting from muffins and golden bread served on sterling silver plates, to grilled lamb chops and pork legs, and then, there are pots of fresh vegetable salads, and there are buckets of palm Wine barrels made of wood.
Although it was only opened a little, the mellow aroma of wine had already begun to overflow in the entire hall, making people twitch their noses uncontrollably.
"Ha, white wine and cranberry mead!"
Mott, who was standing beside Dean, took a deep breath and laughed straight away.
Obviously, this is a silver knight who likes to drink.
"Mott, you can drink freely, but the premise is to take good care of our original guests!"
Earl Horsh looked at Dean with a smile, and motioned for Dean to come with him.
After the letter from the Marquis of Vauban was handed over to the earl, the other party's attitude towards Dean has improved again. If it is said that Dean was just a guest and an ordinary lord passing by, then this At that time, he had already regarded Dean as a friend—although he was not a close friend, an ordinary friend was far more than a passing guest.
Ding, Ding!
Earl Hosh took a silver spoon and lightly tapped the silver wine glass in his hand—it was a silver wine glass with a thin edge, tall feet, and a wide mouth. Pleasant sound.
"My loyal knights and allies, I'm here to introduce a guest... well, it's actually two, but I think that lady doesn't need my introduction!"
The name 'White Rose' is naturally well known, and Earl Hosh's slightly humorous opening. Immediately, the guests around burst into laughter.
And in such laughter. Earl Hosh continued: "Come on. Look at the young man next to me, the lord of the Zelgon Territory in Vauban County, who has the talent to transform giants, and the future gold powerhouse: His Excellency Dean Ken Zelgon! "
Following Earl Hosh's words, the guests present turned their attention to Dean.
In fact, a few people had been staring at Dean long before.
After leaving aside a few unremarkable goals. In the end, Dean quickly locked on two special people——
One is a middle-aged man standing beside the great knight Norton.
This man has a resolute face, brown skin, and red hair curled up on his scalp. He is not particularly tall, but standing there in ordinary clothes, he looks like a mountain, which makes people unable to resist. The high mountain looks up.
Silver Knight!
The sense of breath made Dean recognize the identity of the other party at the first time.
Another Silver Knight in Horshshire: Bosa.
It is different from the origin of the nobles of Mott, or the origin of wealthy merchant families like Shiva, the Silver Knight of Vauban County. This Bossa Silver Knight is an out-and-out civilian.
The son of a blacksmith.
Naturally, such a background. The achievements of the Silver Knight are undoubtedly people's guesses.
Even, in some respects, it is legendary - and after the fall of Horsh County, the commoner silver knight went straight to the Xiti camp to assassinate the king of Xiti, which made such a legend even more intense point.
Because, while facing two gold-level powerhouses at the same time, King Xiti, who was unscathed, was injured by the assassination of the silver knight who faced this commoner.
Although only minor injuries.
However, this is enough to make people remember this commoner Silver Knight.
In fact, Dean's subsequent series of assassinations are also related to this civilian knight to some extent - the behavior of the other party gave him some hope.
It's just that Dean only saw such hope, but didn't grasp it.
"It will definitely not happen this time!"
Dean said this to himself from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, facing Bosa's gaze, he nodded slightly in response.
Of course, it's just about treating the Silver Knight.
As for the other person standing beside the silver knight who drew his attention, Dean looked indifferently.
Long blond hair draped down his shoulders, handsome but tough face, smooth chin, divine eyes, tall and strong figure.
Anyone who sees each other will think that this is an attractive man.
However, after seeing the badge belonging to the Lion Mercenary Group on the opponent's leather armor, Dean immediately raised his vigilance.
Head of the Lion Mercenary Group: Lorsid.
This man with the title of "Lion King" is not as loyal and brave as his title.
When facing the Xiti Iron Cavalry, it was the opponent who opened the city gate and turned against him.
However, that is for the future.
But now, the other party is still so personable and extraordinary.
Holding the wine glass, like a nobleman, he smiled and nodded to the ladies and ladies around him, and those ladies and ladies who were gestured lowered their heads shyly; however, when this "lion king" ''s gaze, as soon as he shifted, he raised his head again immediately, and looked at the 'Lion King' with even more eager gaze.
Dean can be sure that the other party can clearly feel it.
However, the other party did not seem to notice.
"'Lion King'? Tsk!"
Dean sneered with disdain in his heart, and at this moment, the 'Lion King' obviously noticed Dean's gaze, and immediately raised his wine glass as a signal.
He couldn't see the appearance of his capable subordinate who was killed by Dean just before.
Regarding this, Dean continued to sneer from the bottom of his heart, but on the surface he nodded.
Dean is no stranger to acting.
"Now, let us welcome your Excellency!"
Earl Hosh's words continued, he raised his wine glass, and immediately, all the people present raised their wine glasses together.
Whether it's really welcoming Dean's arrival, or just looking at Earl Horsh's face, anyway, it looks like a happy atmosphere.
