It was snowing outside the house, and the wind was bitter, and although there was a scorching magic stone to heat the house, Legovis still felt a chill approaching.This is the best room that the Red Sand Fortress has to offer, and even if it can block the cold wind outside, it can't stop the biting cold from seeping in little by little.The heat released by the scorching magic stone is still not enough.Unable to stand the cold, Legovis grabbed the sides of the table with both hands, and with a sharp force, he lifted a solid wood table with various things very steadily, and then moved it to the edge of the fireplace.Feeling a little warmer, he slowly lowered the table.Moving his chair over, Legoves sat down at the table and picked up a letter from the royal capital.Opening the envelope, he glanced at the contents of the letter, and immediately threw it impatiently on the table.Knock knock!
At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door outside."
Your Highness, may I come in?""
Okay, come in."
Permission was given to enter the room.He was Legoves' bodyguard, named Yafin."
Hmm—it's cold outside."
Yafen patted the snow off her body, then closed the door, "It's still warm inside." ”"Your Highness, this is what you want."
Walking to the table, Yafen placed the package he was holding on the table."
Oh!
Great, thank you, Yafen. ”Reaching for the package, Legovis couldn't wait to open it and take a look.The eldest prince has an easy-going personality, usually very aggressive, and does not have the arrogance of other nobles at all, and is very easy to get along with.As the Grand Prince's bodyguard, Legovis often asked him about the Templars.For more than a month, the two have formed a good friendship."
My pleasure, Your Highness."
Noticing the letter on the table, Yafen asked, "Is it another letter from the royal capital?"
Is there something going on in Junhui City?
”"My father seems to be sick because he is worried about me, and he is currently recuperating."
Legovis stopped what he was doing and said unhappily, "The most annoying thing is that Count Terry is always urging me to go back. ”"That's a big deal!"
Yafen was shocked, "Your Highness, aren't you going back?"
”"Nope."
Legovis shook his head, "When I set off, my father's body was obviously very strong, probably because he had a cold.There are experienced doctors in the royal capital, so it would be good for them to go and see their father.I don't know what Count Terry is anxious about, what's the use of telling me to go back?
I don't know how to heal, is it possible that my father will be able to get well immediately as soon as I go back?
”"This ......
Anyway, it's also your father, won't Your Highness go back and pay a visit?
”If it was really a minor illness, there should be no need to urge the eldest prince to go back.However, this is an internal matter of his royal family, and Yafen is not very easy to say."
When I was a child, I admired the brave soldiers who made great achievements.I finally came to the Red Sand Fortress that I have always longed for, and I don't want to waste this opportunity.Once I go back, my father may not allow me to go to war next time. ”"The living conditions in the Red Sand Fortress are harsh, and it's a shame that you've managed to make it to this point, and people here say you're a strange prince."
Yafen said."
Haha!"
Legovis laughed, "I want to be a powerful warrior in the kingdom like Hughes Banjar, and that's nothing. ”As a great prince, why don't you learn how to be a good king, but you want to be a powerful warrior?
It's incredible.Of course, Yafen just complained in her heart, but didn't dare to say it.In fact, Legoves's real thoughts are very simple.He thinks that his father will reign for at least ten years, and that during this time, he wants to make a name for himself with his great military exploits, and then the most courageous prince of the kingdom will become the next king.As soon as the words fell, there was a horn sound outside, which was a signal for the discovery of a large-scale undead monster."
Your Highness."
Yafen's face froze."
Let's go!
Go see what's going on. ”Placing the package back on the table, Legoves walked to the wall and picked up his weapon—a broad, heavy broadsword—behind his back, and hurried out of the room toward the city walls.On a watchtower on the wall of the Red Sand Fortress, in addition to the scouts on the surveillance mission, there were also two men with extraordinary spirits, whose status could be seen from the full-body armor worn by the two of them.At this moment, they were looking into the distance, observing the movements of the undead monsters.Although the snow has not stopped, and the vision is not very good, you can still see dense black spots in the distance."
The number of enemies is estimated at about two and a half thousand."
The man who spoke was a brown-haired man in armor with gold trim on a white background, Commander of the Knights Templar, Al Thorfen."
Tsk!
Attack when it's snowing, but it shouldn't be a problem to hold the walls. ”The other exuded a sense of majesty, the armor on his body had many traces of battle damage, and there was a solemn aura between his eyebrows.There is a claw mark on his face that cuts through his right eye, but does not hurt the eyeball inside.The crimson-haired man was none other than the aforementioned Knight Chief, Hughes Banjar."
If it's just these miscellaneous soldiers, don't worry, I'm afraid that they will send some difficult undead monsters to carry out a sneak attack."
Hughes said in his somewhat hoarse voice."
Indeed."
Orr nodded in agreement.On the snow more than 1,000 meters away from the city wall of the Red Sand Fortress, the same kind of undead monsters were arranged in several fairly neat phalanxes on the battlefield.They all showed hideous and ugly appearances, as if they wanted to kill all the humans in the fortress.In contrast to the situation in Frontier Town, the Red Sand Fortress is not only facing more undead monsters, but also has a commander controlling them.In the center of this group of undead monsters, a black-robed skeleton mage sits on a tall carrion elephant, holding a staff made of pure ice in his hand, giving various orders to the undead army.Unlike normal skeleton soldiers, this skeleton mage has two dark red pupil flames dancing in his eye sockets, which is a symbol of wisdom.The entire undead army followed the instructions of the skeleton mage, which greatly increased the difficulty of defending the Red Sand Fortress, and the intensity of the battle was by no means comparable to that of the border town."
If only I could catch the skeleton mage and ask about the whereabouts of the Kaztu."
Hughes said coldly.As long as the Immortal King is completely destroyed, this will be over.For two hundred years, the Dawnlight Kingdom has paid many lives to resist the southern invasion of undead monsters.In order to replenish the number of soldiers, the Red Sand Fortress is forced to recruit soldiers from other places every year, and criminals from all over the country will also be sent over.Hughes valuingly valued everyone's life, including those criminals.Some criminals have committed crimes that are not serious.For example, someone who was forced to steal some food in order to fill his stomach was also sent with a brand.Once branded, this life is bound to the Red Sand Fortress.Respect for every soldier is one of the reasons why Xius has a high prestige in the Red Sand Fortress.
