Although the Eternal Sleepers are a despicable cult group, the spiritual network they have established is really amazing to Gawain. It is hard for him to imagine that the overall development level of this world is still at the level of the Middle Ages. Under such circumstances, how did a group of cultists think of establishing such a spiritual network and building a virtual world in the spiritual network - not even just the spiritual network, there are too many things in this world that are incredible to Gawain. , it maintains an almost medieval backwardness and darkness at the bottom, but the top floor is as advanced as the near-future world on earth. Two completely opposite and contradictory situations appear in the same world at the same time, even though it is clear that the cause of this situation is magic. Gawain still couldn't help but be amazed at the unique development patterns of technology and the aftermath of the demonic tide hundreds of years ago.
Just like now, he saw Patty, whom he had not seen for many days, in the spiritual network. The two people separated by hundreds of kilometers could talk face to face in the spiritual network, but in fact, in the real world outside , most ordinary people may never hear about new things happening in the city next door.
Whenever he thinks of this, Gawain becomes unbearable - the extraordinary people in this world may have been accustomed to enjoying convenient magic technology while appreciating the struggles of the lower class civilians and the poor, but the more he gets the more The more you come into contact with these, the less you can accept them.
Fortunately, a key step in the Magic Network communication technology has been taken.
While Gawain was having these emotions in his heart, Patty, who was resting next to the flower bed, finally saw "Uncle Selsey" not far away - the little girl was sitting alone today. , and she didn't run around, which was really unusual - she stood up from the bench and waved her arms at Gawain: "Uncle! Uncle! I'm here!"
Gawain had already confirmed that Selina Gerfen was not around, so when he heard Patty's greeting, he smiled and greeted him. He glanced at the little girl curiously: "Are you alone today?"
"Sister Serena seems to be sick these days and hasn't been here." The little girl pouted and seemed a little unhappy, "Uncle, you too, haven't been here for several days..." "
"Uncle is usually very busy." Gao Wen smiled and pressed the little girl's hair, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart: Selina Gale was "sick"? Are you really sick? Or are there any big projects for Eternal Sleeper? Or is there something else going on?
Of course little Patty had no answers to these questions, and Gawain was only a little confused. Then he put it aside temporarily and started chatting with Patty.
Then, without any surprise, he heard the current news about Glenland——
"Mom went out, and she took a lot of knights with her," Patty said unhappily He said, "The people in the castle said there was a war outside, but they all thought I was a child and were unwilling to say anything more to me... Only the maid sister told me that my mother would definitely come back..."
< p>"Of course youBelieve the maid, your mother will definitely come home. "Gawain said with a smile, stroking the little girl's hair.Of course he knows the whereabouts of Countess Ropenny Glen.
The countess should have been gathered in the north. The remnants of the nobles who had collapsed in the area, and were taking them to the rock fortress on the border of the Holy Spirit Plains. She was accompanied by the loyal guards she had trained over the past ten years, as well as dozens of well-trained and well-equipped Cecil soldiers. Walking on his own road of revenge, and moving forward without fear of any pain or suffering.
The hatred accumulated in ten years of forbearance is not easy to release. The shelling on the Gravel Ridge is a terrible time for Gawain. The beginning of retaking the Southern Territory is the starting point of revenge for Dame Luo Penny Glen. To be honest, Gawain never thought that the seemingly weak and weak lady would actually achieve this step - when she came Even he was shocked when the secret report stated that he would continue to send those nobles to death.
But he knew that it was best for him to let Luo Penni do it. In this matter, there was no way. People can do better than her and do it with more dedication.
He only needs to do what he promised - destroy the last aristocratic resistance force when the time is right, and in the process. Just protect Glen Ling and her daughter.
He looked at little Patty who was sitting next to him, dangling her feet, and asked casually: "My mother is not at home, are you afraid?" ? "
"Don't be afraid," Patty raised her neck with a proud look on her face, "I'm so brave! Moreover, I am accompanied by my maid sister at night...and the new maids and guards who have recently arrived in the castle. They will also tell me stories. "
"The new maids and guards. "Gawain made a perfunctory remark and felt a little settled.
Those so-called "maids and guards" all entered Grant Castle through the channels of Baroness Luo Penni before the war began. They were trained The mission of a well-trained Steel Ranger soldier and Military Intelligence agent is to protect Ropenny Grant's castle and daughter while she is away from the territory - on the other hand, it is also to monitor the situation in Grant Territory
Gawain has great trust in Baroness Luo Penni. He believes that Baroness will not break the covenant he made with her even for revenge, but he cannot trust the loyalty of other people in the noble territory in this era - especially It is in the Glen Territory, a place where there has been a history of rebellion, and Luo Penni Grant herself obviously agrees with this.
No one can guarantee that the countess will leave the territory and her "whereabouts are unknown". How long can the internal stability of Glenland be maintained? According to the information Gawain has obtained so far, order has already emerged within a week after the news of the disastrous defeat of the noble coalition spread in Carroll, Peibo, Consco and other areas. He couldn't let Glen Ling be in this kind of situation.
Looking at the little girl Patty in front of him, Gawain fell into thought for a moment.
At this time, Luo Penni? Gulen should have arrived orHe was about to arrive at the Rock Fortress. According to the previously agreed timetable, it was time for him to send out men to "receive" the Glen Territory - after all, it would be very difficult if Cecil's army deliberately ignored the Glen Territory after winning a complete victory. Easily arousing suspicion.
......
Walking in the wild and boundless wilderness, eating the poorest food, wearing tattered clothes, not only having to tangle with the mud and gravel in the wilderness , and always be prepared to fight those wandering wild wolves and brown bears... The past ten days have been a nightmare for Carroll and his companions.
Not to mention that there are shadows of the Cecil people in this nightmare, as well as the shadows of terrible magic with sharp whistling sounds that may set off devastating explosions around them at any time - although they are The second half of this nightmare no longer appears very often, but whenever he thinks of everything he experienced on Gravel Ridge and on the way to escape, Viscount Carroll can't help but feel chills all over.
But fortunately, any nightmare will have its time to wake up, and the long night will eventually usher in the sunrise.
After more than ten days on the run, the only remaining noble army—probably the last glorious bloodline in the southern land (at least that’s what the people in the team thought) finally arrived. The end of the escape journey.
On the northern border, the majestic fortress standing on the border of the Holy Spirit Plain finally appeared in front of them.
When the towering walls of the Rock Fortress appeared in sight, Viscount Carroll almost burst into tears. The wind blew on his face that was chapped and gray due to many days of hard work and neglect. It hurt like a blade cutting it, but at this moment, the Viscount could completely tolerate and ignore the pain. He immediately waved his arms and shouted to Viscount Consisco next to him: "Look! Rock Fortress! We are finally here!" We are safe!”
“Thank you to the gods for your protection...” Viscount Consisco also said excitedly, not forgetting to take a look at the admirable man with outstanding ambition who was leading the team not far away. Madam, "Thank you to Baroness Luo Penni...she really saved us all!"
Viscount Mari Olan couldn't help but glance in the direction of Luo Penni Grant. After seeing that Behind the slender figure on horseback, a complicated expression appeared on the face of the Viscount, whose territory was only separated from Glenland by a small river.
This is one determined lady...really determined.
But his complicated expression at this moment was fleeting, and the sense of security brought by safely arriving at the Rock Fortress defeated everything at this moment.
The commander of Rock Fortress, Sir Maryland, who is directly loyal to the royal family, stands on the high city wall, watching all the changes around the fortress with a vigilant look.
The news coming from the north and south of the fortress in recent times has made this high-ranking knight lord extremely worried. He heard about the great changes that have taken place in the royal family - although he only heard part of it that is not accurate. news, but it seems a huge change is about to loom over the kingdomBut the more worrying thing is in the south: south of the Rock Fortress, the Cecil family, which has been silent for a hundred years, is finally no longer silent.
Business travelers traveling from north to south brought shocking news, and the news came one after another. First, it was said that more than forty nobles in the south suddenly united to conquer Duke Cecil, and not long after that Immediately, news came that the 70,000-strong aristocratic coalition had been defeated by Cecil's Grand Magician Group and was completely annihilated—it was unknown where this fantasy-like "Grand Magician Group" came from.
When Sir Maryland received these messages, he couldn’t believe them to be true. What a joke, 70,000 coalition troops! How many people are there in Cecil now?
That was 70,000 people, 70,000 people led by noble lords and knights! Even if there were 70,000 pigs to be caught by the Cecil people, it would be impossible for them to catch them all so quickly, right? !
However, what happened after that was deeply disturbing, and even made Sir Maryland couldn't help but believe that what those businessmen from the south said was true - since then, and the South All communications between the noble families were interrupted.
The nobles in remote areas may not have contact with the Rock Fortress for several months, but even the Carroll family outside a hill to the south has lost contact, which is not a good situation. .
Sir Maryland was walking a little irritably on the city wall, wondering whether he should send a team of knights to the south to check the situation - or send a team of envoys in the name of visiting the Carroll Territory. He looked to the south, but just when these thoughts came to his mind, a soldier suddenly ran up from the side.
"General! Below the fortress... there is a large group of people coming below the fortress!"
Sir Maryland is accustomed to letting the soldiers call themselves generals on any occasion. This is why he is in charge of this place. Looking at the slightly flustered soldiers in front of him, the general looked a little unhappy: "Why are you panicking - a big group of what kind of people?"
"It looks like They are beggars - but they call themselves the nobles of the South!"
Sir Maryland's expression froze.
It seems that he does not need to send any knights or envoys to the south.
