Master Overlord - Chapter 408

Fengxi city.

Eugenie, escorted by six knights, rode slowly on her horse.

She was dressed in black leather armor, with a dagger at her waist, her hair tied into a horsetail, and her childish face showed a serious look that was very inconsistent with her age – this should not be the dress of a noble lady, especially a young girl.

Eugenie’s appearance suddenly quieted the noisy street.

People stopped one after another to wait and see. First they looked surprised, and then they bowed respectfully.

Someone poked his head out of the upstairs window, someone got up from the wall, and the children stopped running and were pressed by the adults.

The invasion of wild people is different from the past.

The Duke and knights garrison the city wall, ready to fight to the death with the wild people; Pace led the troops outside and risked his life to deal with the enemy; Mrs. Jenny asked the family for 100000 feather arrows.

Now, even miss Eugenie, a minor of the kewilt family, came out of the castle, took off her gorgeous dress and put on her strong leather armor.

“You don’t need gorgeous skirts, which can’t set off your beauty ~”

In Jingyi, a wandering singer stirred the Yueqin in her arms and sang a new song.

“You don’t need expensive jewelry, it can’t show your nobility ~”

“Oh, my lady, courage and wisdom deserve your beauty ~”

……

“Eugenie?”

On the wall, the Duke looked at his baby daughter in surprise.

“God, why are you here? You should stay in the castle. This is not where you should come!”

Then the Duke stared angrily at the six guards behind Eugene: “who asked you to bring the young lady here? Don’t you know that the wild people are coming!”

“I ordered them to bring me.” Eugenie stepped forward and walked towards the edge of the wall in a surprised look.

“Listen!”

The Duke stepped forward quickly, twisted his daughter’s shoulder, and showed a rare look of seriousness on his face.

“You are smart and sensible. You should understand that this is not the place for little girls to come! You should return to the castle immediately. I will let Jenny take good care of you!”

Eugenie looked at the wrinkles on her father’s forehead and the sparse top of her head. Instead of making him look younger, the gorgeous armor made him look older and haggard.

“Father, I’m not an ordinary little girl. I’m your daughter and a member of the kewilt family.”

“Yes, you are my precious daughter, but you are not an adult!” the Duke looked sternly. “Minors are just children, not to mention you are a girl. This is a battlefield, not a place for girls and children. Eugenie, this is messy enough. Now I want you to return to the castle immediately and don’t go anywhere!”

“But before I came, I had made a big circle in the city. People knew that I had come to the front line. They also praised the bravery of our kewilt family. If you drive me back now, they will be greatly disappointed.”

“You, you’re making trouble!” the Duke stared at his baby daughter angrily. “What do you want to do? Is there anything important? You don’t understand. This is a battlefield. Once the wild people start to attack the wall, the Knights have to fight to the death, and no one can protect you. If you have anything important, you can return to the castle immediately! This is an order!”

“There should be nothing more important than fighting the enemy?”

Eugenie looked determined.

“Father, if it’s not safe here, the castle won’t be safe. I don’t need other people’s protection, and I won’t make trouble for you. Pace is outside to deal with the wild people. You lead us to resist the wild people here. My name is kewilt. Although I’m still a minor girl, I don’t want to hide in the castle and tremble. I’m protected by you. I’m worried about you!”

Eugenie stepped to the crenel of the city wall and looked at the civilians who were desperately building fortifications below.

“Look,” she said back, “even the ordinary people are willing to pay for this war. I am your daughter, and there is no reason to retreat and avoid!”

Eugenie’s words moved the surrounding vassals and knights and respected her.

Sir Kiefer willier, commander of the town garrison, said, “Miss Eugenie, if our knight can have half your courage, even if there are twice as many wild people, it will be easy to win!”

“Lord Carver, knights will only be braver than me! Especially your soldiers.”

Eugenie looked at the Knights around her one by one, and everyone who looked at her raised her chest.

“So you should trust us,” continued Sir willier, “With your father and us, wild people without minions and teeth can’t break the wall. Look at these powerful crossbows. Giants are living targets. You’ve done well enough. I’m sure everyone is encouraged to see you come in this dress. No one will be dissatisfied with you because you’re in the castle. It’s the glory of all knights to protect a girl like you.”

“Thank you. But I didn’t come to dispel my discontent or praise. Lord Carver, this is also my war. What’s the problem with me fighting for myself? I have weapons.” Eugenie put her hand on the dagger around her waist.

Sir Carver willier wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Ted Barrett.

“Duke, I think we can let Miss Eugenie stay for the time being.” he suggested, “with Miss Eugenie, I don’t think anyone can have any reason to shrink back! But the south gate is really dangerous. I suggest arranging a position for Miss Eugenie at the east gate or the north gate, such as your flag officer.”

“Lord Ted, are you crazy!” Sir willier scolded immediately. “Even if Eugenie is not here, no one will choose to shrink back. When will your courage need a little girl to support you! The wild people will not give us a chance for peace talks!”

“Then I’ll choose the east gate!”

Without waiting for the Duke and Ted Barrett to speak, Eugenie had come forward and took her father’s arm and happily decided, “but I’ll stay with you now and wait until the wild people’s army arrives.”

Looking at Eugenie, the vassals and knights showed warm smiles. This sudden change looked like a little girl who was afraid to be at home alone and insisted on staying with her father.

……

At night, the house temporarily requisitioned behind the city wall. The Duke was staring at his daughter discontentedly.

“Come on, why do you insist on running to the front line? You’re a smart man. You can’t be unaware of the danger of doing so, and it won’t help the war!”

Looking at her father, Eugenie said straightforwardly, “nothing. Just don’t worry about Barrett and the Knoxville family. They sent people to hunt down pace. Now they may take the opportunity to make trouble. Pace didn’t say that the wild people are speeding up to us.”
