Chapter 457: Ambush II
Dean rode his horse towards Gaosai Palace.
The body rises and falls very rhythmically as the horse moves forward.
This is a pretty good war horse. Not only are its four hooves strong and powerful, but it also has a broad back. On the whole, it fits the term 'tall horse' - the one selected by Dean is undoubtedly the best among all war horses. The best, although Dean doesn't know equestrian skills, but a simple distinction can still be made.
In fact, in the stables of the military port, every war horse is quite good.
Moreover, it can be seen that the people who take care of the stables are very conscientious.
Not only are the stables dry, but all the horses are also clean and tidy.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube, from small to large.
Dean frowned slightly at Gao Sai's military accomplishment, especially after comparing it with Jade, which made Dean sigh deeply.
Except for the Grand Duke of Emerald, even the dedicated old Marquis of Vauban might not be able to achieve this level.
As for the Duke of York?
The opponent is undoubtedly strict in running the army, his subordinates are also well-trained, and he is also a gold-level powerhouse. Everything is so perfect.
The only pity is that the other party is not really on the side of the Emerald Royal Family.
"The aristocrats are extravagant, the armaments are slack, internal strife, looking around from outside—the real internal and external troubles!"
Dean narrowed his eyes.
For the Marquess of York, he has nothing to do until now.
Not only because of his position, but also because of the other party's pride, made him unable to do anything.
For someone like the Marquess of York who is truly proud to the bone. The best way to persuade the other party. It is to defeat the opponent in the place where the opponent is most proud.
And as the gold-ranked Marquess of York. The most proud thing is undoubtedly its own strength.
As the veteran gold powerhouse of Jade, he defended the Jade City and defended the entire north of Jade, and made great military exploits.
However, Dean is also aware of the difficulty of defeating the Marquis of York.
At least, he can't do it now.
Incomplete gold level, suppressing any silver is not a problem. But when dealing with real gold, it is still a lot worse.
Although the Emerald Duke can do it, but the identity of the Emerald Duke's royal family prevents her from doing so—because, once she does this, it will be a break between the Emerald Royal Family and the nobles.
With Jade's current situation, once such a situation happens, it will undoubtedly be a civil war.
And Jade absolutely cannot bear such a civil war.
That was definitely something more cruel than the Blood Moon War.
After all, any civil war is to give foreign enemies the greatest chance.
"Strength... strength..."
Dean muttered silently. However, the next moment. His eyes turned to the front——
There, Princess Gao Sai and several young people, as well as a team of guards and waited there
"Sorry, am I late?"
Dean rode his horse to the front, got off his horse, and smiled apologetically at Princess Gao Sai, while at the same time, looked at Princess Gao Sai who had changed into a hunting suit.
The white lining, under the waist of the brown leather armor, looks whiter and more elegant. The black breeches and riding boots reveal the slender legs of Princess Gao Sai.
And in the black gloves, a red hunting bow exudes a breath of flames.
Dean just took a look, and found that the hunting bow in front of him was unusual.
It's not just as simple as an ordinary magic weapon, but the familiar sense of coercion on it makes Dean's heart ache.
"Is it soaked in dragon's blood?"
But then, Dean shrugged slightly.
Weapons soaked in dragon blood are undoubtedly extremely precious.
However, for the Gaosai royal family, it was nothing!
The King of Conquerors back then was the real dragon slayer. Apart from the [Dragon Head Great Sword], it would not be difficult to make one or two more auxiliary weapons.
However, Dean was a little surprised that the high game king didn't absorb this 'weapon'.
"Is it reluctant? Or can't you?"
Dean wondered.
"No, no, we gathered a little earlier—Your Excellency Zelgon, can you see the difference in this hunting bow?"
Princess Gao Sai waved her hands again and again, and then put the hunting bow in her hand in front of Dean.
Dean glanced at Princess Gao Sai, and on the premise that the other party had no objection, he took the hunting bow, and at the same time glanced around without a trace.
The few young people who were pretending to be chatting had stopped chatting at this moment, and set their eyes on him, obviously waiting for his answer.
And when Dean glanced at Princess Gao Sai again, seeing the smile in her eyes, he couldn't help laughing.
Undoubtedly, the other party was very dissatisfied with the 'cooperation' with him before, and at this time, they would trouble him with such a 'small matter' - it was completely childlike.
Still, Dean would never deny the futility of such a child's approach.
In fact, such a child's approach is quite useful.
After all, he is now an Emerald Man, born in the Frost Nobility, and even, to some extent, represents the Emerald Duke.
Once there is any inappropriate behavior, it will definitely shame herself and Jadeite.
So, the next moment, Dean replied——
"This is a magic hunting bow, improved from a longbow. The bowstring and bow are long and narrow, making it suitable for women to use. The power of the flames doubles the power of this longbow... Most importantly, it is a longbow. Take the weapon soaked in dragon's blood!"
Dean said slowly, at the critical moment, he deliberately paused.
After glancing at the sarcasm on the faces of several young people around him, Dean continued to speak.
Seeing the stiff faces of those young people who were forced to hold back before the sarcasm appeared on their faces, Dean gracefully stretched out his hand and put the hunting bow back in front of Princess Gao Sai.
"Your Excellency Zelgon, have you seen other dragon blood weapons?"
Princess Gao Sai took over the hunting bow and asked like this.
Faced with such a simple problem. But Dean's heart skipped a beat—there weren't too many dragon blood weapons. Even quite rare. And most of them are related to King Conqueror.
"Is this a temptation from King Gao Sai?"
Reminiscent of Gao Saiwang's special choice, Dean couldn't help but guess.
However, on the surface, he replied very frankly: "I have seen it!"
"Oh, what kind of weapon is that?"
Princess Gao Sai got on her horse and signaled the team to move forward, while asking Dean beside her.
"A throwing ax—should be one of the set!"
Dean thought for a moment and replied.
This is of course not a lie, the flying ax soaked in dragon blood is real - in the previous life, Dean had seen this flying ax in an underground auction house.
According to reliable information. There should be at least three flying axes, but only one was found in the damaged ruins.
A simple inference is that although that set of throwing axes is related to the Gaosai royal family, it has long been lost.
Therefore, Dean is not worried about being found out.
"Throwing axe?"
Princess Gao Sai murmured, the expression on her face changed rapidly.
Seeing the change in Princess Gao Sai's face, Dean smiled—this kind of item exists but is lost. The most worrisome, especially when it belongs to you.
Dean was sure of it. Princess Gao Sai has already thought about digging out more information from him.
However, this is obviously not an easy thing to talk about. Even Princess Gao Sai needs to think for a while.
And at this time, one of the young people who had been following behind was flattering and catching up——
"Your Excellency Zelgon!"
The young man sitting on the horse was dressed in a neat black and red knight uniform, with a long sword on his waist, and a long bow and quiver on one side of the saddle, with more than a dozen arrows neatly inserted into it.
"Morty Drey, the eldest son of the Drey family!"
With a hint of arrogance, this handsome young man introduced himself.
"Dry family?"
Startled, Dean asked back.
The Delai family is considered a veteran family in Gaosai, and the current patriarch is Gaosai's Minister of Military Affairs!
However, the Minister of Military Affairs is a bit useless, because the existence of the Prince Fendel is like a fake to Fang Fang, basically not of much use.
In fact, the entire Gaosai is in a similar situation.
When the royal family dominates, the role of nobles becomes negligible—and the emerald is just the opposite.
"certainly!"
The eldest son of the young Drey family raised his neck and replied proudly.
"oh!"
Dean nodded modestly.
"you!!"
Seeing Dean's appearance, the proud young man immediately stared and grasped the long sword at his waist—in his opinion, this emerald man knew that he was a member of the Dreyer family. Even if you don't greet your heir with fear, you should at least give him some respect.
Then, he took advantage of the opportunity to express that he didn't like having other men staying beside His Royal Highness Vivienne.
Then, the other party pushed away in a panic, and he stepped forward, riding alongside His Royal Highness Vivienne.
Such a situation has already been rehearsed in his mind more than once.
However, he never expected that Dean would be so indifferent, as if he didn't exist.
Such contempt immediately made this young man who grew up in Gaosai Wangdu and enjoyed flattery extremely angry.
Subconsciously, he was about to draw out his long sword and chop off Dean, who had offended him, to the ground.
However, when he saw Princess Gao Sai beside him, this proud young man deliberately restrained his temper and snorted angrily.
Then, he returned to the back, got together with a few fellow travelers, and muttered.
And Dean could even hear the so-called plan they were discussing in low voices—it was nothing more than making him look bad.
"Your Highness Vivienne, your flower protectors are really unique!"
Dean couldn't tell if it was a mockery or a compliment.
"Out of town!"
Princess Gao Sai frowned, but she didn't answer, she just pointed to the city gate in the distance.
