Once the war mobilization order is issued, all knights with titles must unconditionally obey the deployment of the Red Fort and go to the battlefield.
Whatever you gain, you will definitely lose something. This is an eternal truth.
A knighthood is the highest pursuit of a knight. Having a knighthood brings wealth, status, power and everything else. But at the same time, the title is also the biggest constraint for knights. If you want to keep your wealth, status, and power, you must do your best to maintain this system.
The Grand Duchy of Shadowflame is in trouble, and all nobles have no choice but to shoulder their responsibilities.
Russell did not complain about anyone, not the Grand Duke Kunstein who issued the war mobilization order, nor the Baron Roman who recruited him to the battlefield, because he received too many benefits from the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame and the Netherlight Valley.
certainly.
The more important reason is that he has prepared an escape route for himself.
“Baoli, my fighting spirit chain is about to succeed. No, to be precise, I have succeeded several times. After I practice hard for a few more days and master the fighting spirit chain, we will start a contract!” Russell said alone in the small yard. Feeding the horned beast Baoli.
“Contract, Russell, are we going to merge? This progress seems a bit fast, but… I am very willing.”
A strange murmur sounded in Russell’s ears.
There is no doubt that this is the phantom whisper of Unicorn Paulie.
A drop of sweat fell from his forehead. Russell wanted to accuse Baoli the Unicorn. He should be careful with his words so as not to cause misunderstanding.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it and said with a smile: “Just wait for me if you want!”
In this way, Russell practiced hard until the dinner began. After the dinner, he found Baron Roman and borrowed a batch of magic potions on credit.
“No need to pay it back, this is my compensation to you.” Baron Roman simply gave all the magic potions stored in the small yard to Russell, “Don’t be too busy to refuse. As a father, I only have one request from you.”
“Father, please give me your instructions.”
“Train into a Phantom Beast Knight as soon as possible, and then don’t put yourself in danger. I will arrange for you to continue in the support formation… The only requirement is to survive.” Baron Roman said, seeming to feel that it was a little too sensational.
So he shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: “If you lose an arm or a leg, your mother will fight for my life.”
Russell thought for a while and replied: “Mother has been caring about us at the Fluorescent Castle.”
“I know.” Baron Roman seemed to understand what Russell wanted to say, “Don’t worry, the three of us, father and son, have taken care of everything outside. After returning to the family, the family can continue to live in harmony.”
“It’s not like I have to deal with anything.” Russell smiled.
“Don’t talk too much. Only men can understand men. When you become a man one day, you will understand your father and brother.” Baron Roman snorted, feeling a little displeased with his second son’s pretense of innocence.
There is no cat in the world that doesn’t steal fish.
……
After completing their rest and supplies, the Knights of the Netherworld Valley, led by Baron Roman and escorted by the clay dragon Rose, continued to head north.
After passing through the Rapids Province, we entered the Thousand Lakes Province.
Running along the galloping road built by the Grand Duchy, you can see beautiful lakes dotted on both sides of the galloping road.
Moreover, Chidao will have special inns according to the distance, which can facilitate the check-in of knights, so the journey is not too hard. Occasionally it snows, but in a blink of an eye the trees are green again and the scenery is truly dizzying.
It took two days to cross the Thousand Lakes Province and enter the Mountain Province.
Unlike the Thousand Lakes Province next door, which is full of lakes, here there are mountains and mountains, and large areas are wasteland – no knight likes to cultivate here.
“The volcanic oasis is vast, and many places are uncultivated. The most important thing is that the conditions here are not as rich as those in other provinces.” Baron Roman explained to Russell while riding the fantasy beast-the nightmare ghost horse.
The Nightmare Ghost Horse is very cool, all black and with flame patterns.
However, compared with the unicorn Baoli, she seems more domineering but not elegant enough, and even feels like she is down a notch.
“Father, I heard that our family, the generation before my great-grandfather, lived in the Mountain Province?” Russell asked.
“That’s right.” Baron Roman pointed to the west, “Close to the edge of the volcanic oasis, our ancestor’s manor is there… More than 300 lords and lords in the entire Grand Duchy are basically distributed on the edge of the volcanic oasis.”
It’s not that the Grand Duke of the Good Place is unwilling to enfeoff, but that the lords and lords must guard the borders.
Otherwise, the territories of counts and barons can also be entrusted in volcanic oasis, without going to warm enclaves with difficult conditions.
“Is that place now being entrusted to others?”
“No, it’s a manor under the jurisdiction of the provincial governor.”
Then he entered a new province, Yunze Province.
According to the records of “Geography of the Prehistoric Era of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame” that Russell had read before, the author Franken inferred that in prehistoric times, Yunze Province and the fire ant swamp in the northwest were part of the ancient Daze.
The swampland is dangerous, but the land is very fertile.
Therefore, the population here is much larger than that in the mountainous provinces, and villages and farming villages can often be seen on both sides of the Chi Road.
The smoke from the cooking pot is curling up, which is very textured.
That night, the knights entered the inn to rest, but Russell rode the unicorn Baoli into a nearby grove.
Knight Commander Eric and his golden and silver wolfhound Kevin accompanied him as escort.
“Sir!” Eric’s eyes were firm, “Kevin and I will stay here and no one will come to disturb you!”
“Um.”
Russell nodded.
He gently stroked the unicorn Baoli’s silky mane: “These days, I hardly dare to relax for a moment. I have worked hard to practice the fighting spirit chain. Finally, I can master it skillfully before entering the fire ant swamp… Baoli, we are going to start. “
“Hmph!” Paulie snorted and nodded slightly.
“Then it’s time to be promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight!” Russell muttered softly, and then reached out to touch Baoli’s back.
In an instant, the fighting energy was released and injected into Baoli’s body along the palm of his hand. This fighting energy was condensed and not dispersed, like a chain. In an instant, it came into contact with the energy in Baoli’s body, and then a mysterious and mysterious change took place.
Dou Qi and Yuan Li are tightly combined.
But bonding is just the beginning.
While maintaining the chain of grudges, Russell comforted softly: “Baoli, combine your thoughts with Yuanli, then feel my thoughts, and bite my arm with your mouth open, and let the blood serve as a medium to carry your and my thoughts! “
Baoli felt the changes in her body. She had been prepared for it for a long time. She turned her head slightly and bit Russell’s stretched out arm.
It didn’t have the sharp teeth of cats and canines, and its teeth were almost all flat teeth, but this didn’t stop it from rubbing its teeth lightly and then scratched Russell’s arm, and blood immediately flowed into its mouth.
Blood drips.
As if brand-new power had been injected into the chain of fighting energy, Baoli’s thoughts carried in Yuanli and Russell’s thoughts carried in fighting spirit began to collide and blend with each other with the intervention of the medium of blood.
Buzz!
As if ringing in the ears, a strange mind imprinted itself on Russell’s mind.
“Russell!” This strange mind began to call.
At the same time, Russell’s thoughts seemed to follow the chains of fighting energy, along with Yuanli, and with the blessing of the blood medium, entered another ocean of pure thoughts. He saw this ocean of thoughts outline the image of the unicorn Baoli. .
So she softly called out: “Paulie!”
boom! It sounds complicated, but it actually only takes a moment.
The thoughts of one person and one beast are perfectly synchronized at this moment. At the same time, Yuanli and Dou Qi undergo rapid and violent changes through the Dou Qi chain.
It’s like a bridge connecting two forces. In an instant, the power in the body of a person and an animal is transformed through the communication of this bridge, transforming into a brand new surging force that is independent of each other.
Yuanxi!
“Ah!” Russell shouted. His limbs and all his meridians were no longer fighting energy, but Yuan Qi.
“Go high, go high!” The unicorn Baoli also raised her head and roared, feeling this new power as well.
The roar dispersed.
Russell, who had just been promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight, was already riding on the back of the unicorn Baoli. He nodded gently to Eric, who was protecting him: “I’ll be back as soon as I go.”
