Medieval Empire Soldier - Chapter 185

Draco Baron, Lord’s Castle, Baron’s bedroom on the third floor.

In the luxurious and cleanly decorated bedroom, Adrian and Eureka were standing at the head of the bed, looking at the pale and weak Lailun lying on the bed, and Baron Draco himself sat upright, leaning on his back. Two pillows, the dizziness and headache made his eyes cloudy, and the scene of the confrontation with the blood knight Aimille Kyle was vividly in his mind.

Lelun, who woke up from a coma, learned two things from the words of Eureka and the others.

He has been in a coma for two days and two nights.

The blood dragon knight is dead, and Nikas Francis and the eternal knights found his wreckage in the heart of the northern forest of the Barony, as well as the blood knight’s saber, the blood blade sword.

When the seriously injured and fainted Lailun was discovered by the eternal knights, the baron’s flag-bearer, the witch hunter and several knights were almost stunned. Baron Draco, who was stronger than the chosen one, the emperor’s pro-appointed imperial hero, After being seriously injured, the calm baron’s affairs officer Pittman and the witch hunter Eureka immediately helped Adrian and others to block all the news, and the knights present were all given a gag order.

Lelon is the backbone of the Draco Barondom. If it is missing, the consequences will be disastrous.

According to Eureka’s brief description, when everyone found him, the young baron was seriously injured, his whole body was covered with dirt and dust, and he was very weak. The most terrifying thing was that she felt two unusual surges in Lailun’s body. Powers, by no means human powers, blend, split, and collide with each other, with one force seemingly gaining the upper hand and slowly suppressing the other.

On the soft bed, Lailun took a deep breath, exhaled, closed his eyes and concentrated, the gentle power of holy light filled his body, healing the young baron’s body.

At the same time, Lailun also felt the special power that Eureka had mentioned, wisps of tiny, life-filled emerald green, surging in his veins, and like the Holy Light, continuously repairing his body.

is unfamiliar and cold, but this special power is not harmful to Lailun.

Lailun was lying on the pillow and mattress, Eureka took a thick quilt from the servant, put it on the Baron, and carefully spread the quilt, Francis and Adrian both stood on the bed Looking at the baron whose complexion gradually improved, the deep doubt and anxiety on the faces of the two sergeants also disappeared. After doing all this, Eureka took Lailun’s hand, Crimson eyes carefully observed Lailun’s face, and his concern surfaced on his face.

“Hu—” He let out a sigh of turbidity, and Lailun opened his eyes, his eyes were no longer cloudy, and returned to their original clarity, he subconsciously looked at his hand that was being held, and grasped the warmth in his palm instead: “Thank you for your hard work. , Eureka, I’m fine.”

Eureka’s little hands were a little warm, the cold-natured witch hunter nodded lightly, her beautiful crimson eyes stared at Lailun with a reproach, her voice was full of sorrow and sighs: “You know, I see At that moment, you thought you were already a cold corpse, lying alone in the bushes, surrounded by a mess, with a pale face without a trace of blood.”

“You should let me go with you…” Eureka lowered her white swan neck and clasped Lailun’s big hands with both hands.

“It’s all right now.” Lailun patted Eureka’s little hand soothingly, turned his eyes to his flag officer, and said softly, “Adrian.”

“I’m here, my baron.” The flag-bearer hurriedly walked over to the head of the bed, put his hands behind his back, tugged his wrists tightly, and lowered his head: “Baron, I’m sorry…”

As the guardian knight and flag officer of Baron Draco, his duty is to destroy the incoming enemy in the name of the baron, so Adrian deeply blamed himself for his dereliction of duty, and received knight education and training from a young age. The strong sense of responsibility for the doctrine made him feel deeply guilty.

“No need to blame yourself, Adrian, the blood dragon knight is stronger than all of us. He was the knight commander of the White Wolf Knights before he fell. My defeat can be regarded as a lesson for me.” Lailun’s tone of consolation tried his best to dispel Adrian’s inner self-blame. All this was not his reason. The baron then asked, “Have you found the remains of the blood knight?”

“Yes, my baron, to be precise, what we found is a pile of scattered scraps, along with his sword and dragon scale shield, the dark power on it has been removed.” The baron flag officer nodded, “Pastor Luther Huss has taken the paladins to purify the forest, making sure not to miss any vampire corruption.”

“The terrifying power, the power that can completely purify the blood knight and make his soul have nothing to hide, I can confirm that none of the church’s great chanting masters have such power.” Eureka frowned, she She briefly described the special power that completely purifies vampires, and at the same time she looked at Lailun, hoping that Baron Draco would know the reason: “Lailun, do you know who it is?”

Lilun also looked dazed. The only thing that was certain was that the blood dragon knight Emile Kyle was not killed by him, and someone else exiled the blood knight.

The young baron shook his head, indicating that he had no way of knowing.

Lilun suddenly remembered something, stretched out his right arm and looked, the two imprints on the top where the vampire fangs had bitten had not healed yet, and now, the flesh and blood around the imprints was purple-black like bruises, with an incomparably deep color.

“This is… the trace of the blood kiss! Lailun, did the blood knight curse you with the blood kiss?!” The witch hunter had destroyed countless dark creatures, and the phenomenon of vampire corruption was obvious at a glance, and she was stunned Holding Lailun’s right arm, she looked flustered. Soon, Eureka suddenly realized something: “However, it’s amazing that you haven’t been transformed into a vampire…”

Lailun didn’t answer, just nodded sullenly.

He was indeed kissed with blood by Ameler Kyle. The blood knight’s life-threatening counterattack was to corrupt the wolf **** champion, in order to mock the white wolf **** of war Uric and his church, and the vampire curse did affect Lailun. , which led to the last young baron raising the Hammer of Heram, wanting to end the dizziness and dizziness of Ameler’s filthy eternal life, and taking advantage of the momentary gap, the blood knight could escape from death.

But now, Lailun just felt that he was a little weak after being injured. The blood kiss of the blood knight seemed to be sealed in his right arm, the black crack could not spread along the forearm, and the poison in it was continuously being removed. .

“The patterned pattern on the forearm looks like some kind of seal.” Eureka held Lailun’s right arm in her hand and focused on identifying the complex pattern on it: “I am certain that the several great purification gods of the Justice Church. No technique has such an effect…”

The    seal is composed of some kind of hieroglyphics, and only Lailun can see the pattern on the arm, the writing of an ancient race.

Holy Guardian

Lailun realized that someone or something was secretly helping him, and the divine protection on his arm was the best explanation, which could stop the curse of the blood kiss from the root, perhaps the blood knight Amelia Kyle It was also killed by the guy who imposed the seal.

“Lailun, Lailun, are you listening?” Seeing Lailun’s distracted appearance, Eureka increased her grip.

“Uh, um, Eureka, I’m listening.” The young baron was no longer distracted, and responded, “Anything special?”

“No.” The witch hunter shook her head very simply, “If you weren’t still alive, I would really like to cut your body with a dagger and take a good look, the blood kiss of a vampire is nothing to you. It doesn’t work, is there anything you can’t do?”

“There are many things I can’t do, Eureka, this time, it’s just a coincidence.” Lailun smiled bitterly, only he knew that he was telling the truth.

“Forget it, there are more secrets hidden in you, and I won’t ask too much. Rest well, your subjects need you.” Eureka finally covered Lailun with a thick quilt , everyone in the baron’s room also retreated and left.

In the next period of time, there were no emergencies in the territory, and Baron Draco was able to rest in his lord castle for a while, and his body gradually recovered.

A message came from the Drakovald Forest patrol battalion in the north of the Baron. For a period of time, the border patrol battalion led by Gavin often fought with the small beastmen that appeared in the forest. Sometimes, the patrol battalion also encountered small beasts. The threat of the human war gang, interspersed with several minotaurs and big horns.

Fortunately, the baronial army is equipped with fine muskets from the Nunn Gun Factory.

One hundred and twenty musketeers and two musket battalion companies, under the non-stop training of Sutson and the dwarf engineer Kagg, have mastered the weapons in their hands. No matter the reloading speed or the salvo power, they have reached the expected effect.

Although he has further expanded his military strength, Lailun still ordered the patrol battalion to fight steadily and slowly clean up the threats in the forest to the north.

In mid-October, the autumn rain season in the north ended, and after entering the late autumn season, the weather became more and more cold.

With several heavy rains in the fall, winter is coming to the north of the Empire. This year’s winter is very early and expected, and the cold wind is blowing the earth, and people have to wear thick clothes and animal skin cloaks to resist It was cold, and with the complete planting of winter wheat, the homesteaders in the territory began to enter the slack time again.

The fixed tax implemented by the baronies also played a role. After paying part of the fixed tax, the farmers left more than enough grain for the family to eat, and the grain stock of every household was quite considerable. Even before the winter wheat matured, there was a lot of surplus.

And the food that can’t be eaten can’t be stored for long, such as vegetables and beans in the fields. Because of this, many farmers are moved, and they ask people to inquire in the baron’s town to see if there are any merchants buying food.

The northern part of the empire lacked everything except food, so many chambers of commerce came to the Barondom of Draco. The merchants raised the prices of some agricultural products, bought them frantically, and shipped them to other provinces.

Therefore, in the days after the slack, the roads leading to the town gradually became congested, and many carriages and carts entering the city were crowded together, and the passing speed became obviously slow.

In the early morning of late autumn, a drizzle of last night washed the lead in the territory, and the air was fresh and dry.

Early in the morning, the roar of the dwarf gyrocopter’s engine resounded in the sky above Oaktown. Since the supply of sufficient kerosene fuel, the dwarf engineer has become more and more enthusiastic about the feeling of flying in the gyrocopter.

Lailun was sitting in front of the fireplace in the big study room, looking towards the territory outside the balcony. His body has almost recovered, and his strength has even improved a lot, which is a blessing in disguise.

“My baron, the war between Marienburg and the Duchy of Bastogne has been drawn into a tug-of-war, the trade routes of the Grey Mountains have been cut off, the trade routes of Britania and our empire’s overland trade have been cut off, and there is no The food imported by the Knight Kingdom, Osterland, Styr, and Ostermark have all experienced a certain degree of food shortage, so now merchants are buying food on a large scale and at a high price. Just yesterday, from Baron Fourteen tons of barley flour were brought out.” Pitman, the clerk, sat aside.

In addition to the military, the affairs officer knows almost all aspects of the baronial territory, which is one of the reasons why Lailun entrusted Pittman with the important task.

“Yeah.” Lailun responded calmly,

The land trade was cut off, and the empire still had sea transportation. There were only a lot of trade galleons in Brittany that sailed from the Principality of Boldero and the Principality of Colony. The Emperor Karl Franz invested in the reconstruction of the Nord Navy. Gold coins played a role at this moment.

The combined naval fleet of Rick and Nord was directly blocked at the estuary of the Rick River, and special treatment was given in special times.

Reckling and the Duchy of Bastogne have signed a non-aggression agreement. Although the two sides are not a defensive alliance or a military alliance, the Rickling fleet can use the war period as an excuse to strictly check the past merchant ships. The caravan, docked temporarily and waited for the follow-up investigation to be clear.

Nominally, Marienburg is a municipality, but the municipality belongs to the empire both legally and culturally, so the longer the war lasts, the more the empire’s authority and the emperor’s influence will be lost.

For example, a rebellious child who ran away from home was beaten outside. As the head of the family, he must protect his shortcoming. If his child was beaten by others, he lost his face.

And every merchant ship sailing from Marienburg must purchase an “Imperial Temporary Trade Certificate”. The price is based on the size of the ship and the value of the goods carried, ranging from 50 to 600 gold coins. Without a certificate, the joint The naval fleet directly detained the merchant ships and let them go when the war was over.

Protect the short and return to the short. The rebellious and runaway children are causing trouble outside. As the head of the family, they must be severely punished, and the temporary trade card is the emperor’s big stick.

By selling trade certificates, Karl Franz and Elector Theodoric of Nord extracted a staggering amount of gold coins from the merchants of Marienburg.

With the emperor’s disturbance, the battle between the Duchy of Bastogne and Marienburg was deadlocked again, and it was difficult to resolve it for a while, so it was not far away for the two sides to coordinate and negotiate.
