Chapter Twenty-Four: Martial Judgment [Seeking Collection]

Duke Wolf revealed his roots in the north to the royal family.

In three days, the Duke's extraordinary appeal allowed him to see a huge army at his doorstep.

A standing army of 12,000, a militia of nearly 30,000 signs, 5,000 mercenaries, and an army of about 50,000 people allowed the nobles of the whole country to see the power of the duke again.

Cangye put on the armor under the service of the cicadas, and the dragon scale armor was worn as the innermost layer of chain mail, and Cangye would always wear it even when he was asleep, so the cicada did not know the existence of this armor.

Looking at the night when the knife walked out of the door, the cicada's expression was a little complicated, she could see the maids around her casting the eyes of their master's admiration, and she could also see their naked and undisguised jealousy.

The complex thoughts reminded the cicada of a man's figure.

……

Ephas arrived in an ornate and overly decorative armor, and the envious glances of the nobles next to him made the duke's young son feel a sense of pride.

However, this good mood was ruined when the night came.

The night itself was dressed in pitch-black heavy armor, without much ornamentation, but he himself just stood there, and everyone's eyes naturally focused on him.

With his fists clenched, Ivas naturally had reluctance in his heart, but he was unwilling to show it, especially when his father intended to marry his most beautiful sister to him.

Duke Seleucid glanced at the night with a smile, but the look at Ephas was much colder.

Efate could clearly read the disappointment in his father's eyes, which made him hate the night even more, and the carefully groomed nails of his hands were so shallow that they were bleeding profusely, but the sharp pain could not soothe the anger in Ephas's heart.

The army set out, and the herald of the Duke of Seleucid took the edict given to the Duke by the royal family to obtain the passage of various cities and noble territories, and not only that, but the Duke collected supplies and gathered soldiers from all over the country with the edict granted by the royal family to crusade against the Scarlet Mandala Dynasty.

The authority of the oracle was slightly exceeded in the hands of the Duke of Evil Wolf, and as long as any nobleman dared to refuse, the Duke would lead an army to break through the castle of the nobles and hang their bodies in the square on the charge of "betraying the interests of the state" or even "fornicating with foreign enemies".

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the aristocratic territory that Duke Vicious Wolf used to express an attitude of "only the royal family is the first to look forward" on the bright or dark side.

In the face of Seleucus's provocation, the royal family was furious but helpless, and could only lament over and over again the untimely death of the only great prince who could balance this evil wolf of the north, so they hated the murderer of the eldest prince extremely much, and further added the bounty.

By the time they arrived at the border with the Scarlet Mandala, Seleucus' army had reached 70,000 men.

However, strangely, in the face of an army several times the number of its own, the Scarlet Mandala did not move any additional troops, and after the arrival of the northern army, for three consecutive days, neither side made any moves, and the border area that should have been on the verge of breaking out showed a strange peace.

The nobles could not figure out the purpose of the Scarlet Mandala, nor could they guess Seleucus's thoughts, until a few days later, a guard of honor from the Church of the Blood God entered the front of the two armies.

This is the mediation team, which is responsible for mediating disputes between the secular countries of the Blood Alliance. The setting of the mediation mechanism in the brutal and belligerent Church of the Blood God is a complete joke, like the battle between Roman and Hesse, and the Church of the Blood God sits and watches with great interest.

However, there are times when mediation teams are dispatched, such as when a country pays a large amount of tithes to the church, and they will symbolically send a mediation team to achieve the purpose of the tax-paying state.

When the royal family learned of the arrival of the mediation team, the enraged king whipped dozens of slave girls to death that night.

……

On both sides of the Chen Bing border, the atmosphere at the moment seemed unusually harmonious. From time to time, the camp of the Duke of Evil Wolf can see the scarlet mandala soldiers coming from the opposite side, drinking, gambling, and wrestling...... A harmonious scene, the scene of the barracks on the opposite side is similar to this one.

Seeing that the war could not be fought, the local peddlers, who had been hiding far away, rushed to the barracks with bread, bacon, inferior ale wine, and some novel knick-knacks to sell them, and even saw warblers in some places, which was not at all what a war should be.

Cang Ye didn't care about everything, and it had nothing to do with what his colleagues were doing, and he had to undergo four hours of mechanized training every morning, day after day.

The main direction of training is physique and strength, especially the strength attribute, which has been reduced to a shortcoming in the five-dimensional value.

The five items of physique, strength, agility, intelligence, and spirit are collectively known as the "five dimensional values", and it is easy to improve through training in the physical state before entering the supernatural realm.

Before the Oriental people reach adulthood, the body function will be greatly improved with the growth of age and nutritional supplementation, Cangye is now seventeen years old, and the time when the body of the Oriental race stops growing can be up to 22 years old at the latest, coupled with the dragon bloodline awakened by Cangye, it is estimated that the growth time has also been extended to thirty years old, if it is really a plane with a mystery of more than 500, the true dragon bloodline will be activated to the greatest extent, and Cangye will not even reach adulthood until he is fifty years old.

In the world of "Anpoque", the professions attached to the bloodlines above the golden species will be several times or even dozens of times stronger than the professions without bonuses, and the bloodline of the night is not considered excellent, and the owner of the god's bloodline is located at the top of the plane, and this kind of existence is the rank of a demigod once it becomes an adult, and the force value is even much stronger than the mythical level of the sixth order!

Cangye deliberately squeezed his potential, and the physical exhaustion had exceeded the limit that ordinary people could bear, but Cangye's spirit and will directly touched the boundaries that a first-order professional could touch, and the indifferent mind like ice and snow had long exceeded the constraints of the physical body, which was quite a bit of a 'spiritual wandering outside the object'.

If anyone saw the body of the night, they would surely cry out in horror.

Because this body has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, every muscle is extremely well-proportioned, and there is hardly any fat, like a perfect body like a marble sculpture, as if seeing a god in a trance.

At the end of the training, Cangye walked into the tent wearing only a thin shirt, and at this time, the attendants beside the duke had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the matter?"

Cangye spoke.

"Your Excellency Frankenstein, the Duke invites you to come over."

The squire's attitude towards Cangye is extremely respectful, as a squire beside the Duke of Seleucus, he has been serving the duke for I don't know how many years, how could he not know that the master intends to marry his youngest daughter to Cangye, if he is not mistaken, Cangye has a great possibility to inherit everything from the Duke as a son-in-law, including the territory and title.

For their own sake, the squire completely treats Cangye as the future Duke of Frankenstein.

Cang Ye naturally didn't know what the attendant was thinking, and he didn't ask the duke what he told him to do, so he nodded and left the tent, and the attendant hurriedly followed.

And on the Duke's camp, in addition to the Duke and his powerful followers, even Ephas and his brothers are also here, and it seems that they are going to announce something big.

When the night came to the camp, in addition to his own people, the mediation team from the Blood God Church and the envoy team of the Scarlet Mandala Dynasty were also here, led by a great nobleman with a bright red beard and a majestic demeanor.

Glancing at the night, the red-bearded nobleman said in a hoarse voice:

"Herod, cunning wolf, is this your good hound? It looks like it's just a milky kid. ”

The Duke of Seleucid laughed:

"My friend, this is the knight who represents Antioch, my dearest Sir Frankenstein, who alone can win against all three of you, and this time we won."

"You are too arrogant, Herod!"

The red-bearded nobleman apparently scoffed at such a statement:

"The two sides of the military judgment designate three people to fight, and the one who lives to the end wins, since you are so arrogant, we will win this low-hanging fruit, come out, my warriors!"

The red-bearded nobleman's voice fell, and two majestic figures walked out of the ranks.
