Dean and his party headed north.

In about three weeks, it passed through Yorkshire, Horshshire, and entered Vauban County.

Dean did not stay long in Yorkshire and Horshshire, but returned north to Vauban after giving a noble greeting.

Compared to the Marquis of York and the Earl of Holsh, the Marquis of Vauban was naturally much closer.

Whether it is the same camp or a private relationship, Dean cannot be the same as before, not to mention, his earliest territory is still nominally under the command of the other party.

Therefore, a day in advance, let the guards ride fast horses to inform the old marquis of the news of his return.

So, as soon as he entered Vaubonshire, Dean saw the greeting procession.

The emerald flag on a white background is waving in the wind.

And in Richard. Vauban bosom, a team of ten people, neat and solemn.

"Richard!"

Dean smiled and stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the other party.

For his former comrades-in-arms, every time they meet, Dean is happy.

"Dean!"

Richard, who was still hesitating about what kind of attitude to face Dean. Vauban saw Dean smiling as he walked in, and immediately forgot about these troubles, and he jumped off his horse and met him with a faster pace.

The two hugged and slapped each other on the back.

They greeted each other in a way that was completely inconsistent with aristocratic etiquette.

"Before, I was still thinking about how to face you, the third golden powerhouse of Jade...... OK. You're still like that! ”

Richard, who has the integrity of a soldier. Vauban was blunt.

"Maybe someone else will change. But some won't change! Don't forget...... We are companions who fight side by side! ”

Dean said with a smile.

"Of course!"

Richard. Vauban also had a hearty smile.

But. Obviously, he didn't understand the meaning of his companion in Dean's words, but simply thought that the previous battle to sweep away the bandits in the snowfield dense forest.

And Dean also didn't explain.

Such a thing cannot be explained at all, and as long as his attitude towards his companions and comrades-in-arms has not changed, then what is the need for explanation?

"Where's the Marquis?"

Dean & Richard. Vauban walked on foot.

"Father, I'm waiting for you at the Fortress of Seandre...... The fortress will be completed in no time! ”

Richard. Vauban said excitedly.

"Is it important to finish?".

Dean took a deep breath. There is a lingering sadness in my heart.

Seandre Fortress, known as the second barrier in the north, and the first barrier 'York City' can be said to be another major barrier for the jade to resist the north.

And in fact, it's the same.

After the outbreak of the Blood Moon War, the first barrier 'York City' fell, and the Emerald North relied on the solidity of the Seandre Fortress and the magic cannon to withstand the iron cavalry of Siti.

In the two-year tug-of-war of the First Blood Moon War, played a crucial role.

Only, in the Second Blood Moon War. The Seandre Fortress faced the gold-level powerhouse of the Sixtie Section, and it only fended off for less than four weeks. It's completely gone.

Before the fall of the fortress of Seandre, the old marquis became ill from hard work and died on the battlefield.

The comrades-in-arms and companions in front of them are also launching the final charge on the battlefield.

If the first barrier, Yorktown, was destroyed in an unexpected way.

Then, the second barrier, the 'Seandre Fortress', was also unexpected, because its existence dragged Siti into the Second Blood Moon War.

And again, the price to pay is enormous.

The entire county of Vauban was almost scorched.

Not one in ten people remains.

And the Vauban family has completely cut off the bloodline - whether it is direct or collateral.

Sti hated the Vauban family, who could resist his invasion to the death, and wanted anyone who was related to the Vauban family with a heavy reward.

Simple description: cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

It's unusually in line with the style of the king of Hitti.

"I will give back ...... tenfold"

Dean said abruptly, his words sonorous and powerful.

"What?"

Richard on the side. Vauban looked at Dean in bewilderment.

"Nothing, some not-so-pleasant memories come to mind!"

Dean smiled and waved his hand.

"Not very good memories...... The Zergaon family is back in your hands again, and the family you vowed to revitalize is really thriving, and you, to everyone's surprise...... Your parents, they will be proud of you, your family will be proud of you...... That's enough! ”

Richard. Vauban apparently misunderstood something again, and with a sigh, gently patted Dean on the shoulder.

And that empathetic look obviously shows that the other party also has a similar experience.

Naturally, Dean knew what was going on.

For Richard. For Vaubana, the biggest wish is to break through the limitations of the current strength and enter the silver level in the true sense.

So, the next moment, Dean looked at Richard. Vauban asked—

"Will a Midsummer Night go to the Emerald Capital?".

"Yes! What's wrong? ”

Richard. Vauban asked, puzzled.

"I need a sparring partner to be able to have the pleasure of having Richard. Does Lord Vauban hold this position? ”。

Dean asked Richard with a smile. Vaubana.

"Of course!"

Richard. Vauban was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Then, the only heir of the Vauban family, said very formally: "Thank you! ”

"It's the first time I've heard people thank me for being beaten!"

Dean said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"I know you said this on purpose, but why do I feel that my previous thanks are superfluous? Moreover, all kinds of uneasiness rose in my heart? Give me my thanks back! ”

Richard. Vauban said jokingly.

"There's nothing I can do about this!"

Dean responded with a smile.

And then. Both laughed at the same time.

smiled just like they should have at their age.

"That's right. Your realm and the trade of the barbarians. Be careful! ”

Suddenly, Richard. Vauban thought of something, reminding Dean.

"What's wrong?"

Dean asked, his expression becoming stern.

He knew that to Richard. Vauban is definitely not untargeted, and since he said so, then there must be something he doesn't know.

"Bu Gong's grandfather and father 'died of illness' a week ago - his grandfather was Chiktor!"

Richard. Vauban lowered his voice.

"Chectore?!"

Dean was stunned.

For the barbarian patriarch Bu Gong, Dean had already guessed that the identity of the other party was not simple. But I definitely didn't expect it to be Chicto's grandson.

The name of the barbarian tribe is very easy to understand, and whatever the patriarch is called, the tribe is called.

For example, the small tribe owned by the Cloth Hammer is called the Cloth Hammer.

Therefore, if Bu Gong's grandfather is Chiktor, then the name of the tribe owned by the other grandfather is also called Chiktor!

And in the north surrounded by ice and snow, there is only one barbarian tribe that can take the name of Chiktor.

That is the absolute great force in the barbarian settlement. With a population of 5,000, the Chiktau tribe has an extraordinary imagination throughout the snowy forests and the Northland ice fields.

More importantly. Most of the reinforcements that the Emerald Grand Duke borrowed from the barbarians came from this tribe.

As for Richard. What other Chektors Vaubane is talking about?

Dean didn't think the other Chectoes would make Richard. Vauban is so solemn.

"Bu Gong's grandfather and father 'died of illness' a week ago?"

Dean asked cautiously.

From Richard. In Vauban words, Dean heard something extraordinary.

"Well, 'death'...... At least that's what we got when we found out! ”

Richard. Vauban does not have any subjective implications, it is very objective.

"Can you believe it?".

Dean asked after a sneer.

"The living conditions of the barbarians are very bad, if the ordinary Emerald people are in that environment, it is estimated that they will not be able to survive even a winter, but the same ice and snow make the barbarians have a physique that is unimaginable for the Emerald people, they may not have skills, but just in terms of physical strength, an ordinary barbarian can be able to top the ordinary good hands in my knights! Not to mention the patriarch and son of Chiktor! ”

Richard. Vauban said slowly.

Then, looking at Dean, he took a deep breath and said, "So, I don't believe in the so-called 'death of illness'!" ”

"Richard, please tell the Marquis, I have some urgent matters here that need to be dealt with...... Tom! ”

Dean looked at Richard apologetically. Vauban said, then, calling to his servant.

Immediately, Tom came over with a box in his hand.

"This is my gift from the Emerald Capital to Lord Marquis!"

Dean handed the box to Richard. Vaubana.

"It's been a long time since my father has received such a valuable gift, and he will be happy!"

Richard. Vauban said with a smile.

It's not the value of the gift, it's the importance of the identity of the giver.

Dean now has the name of the third golden powerhouse of Jadeite, and under such a name, the gifts he gives are naturally extraordinary.

"But, Dean, do you really want to be involved in the infighting of that Cyktor tribe? Barbarians are very xenophobic, and although you have given them the convenience of trading, I don't think they will listen to you because of this! ”

After handing over Dean's gift to his subordinates, Richard. Vauban persuaded Dean.

"Believe me, I know exactly how to deal with barbarians! Moreover, I have a good relationship with Bu Gong, he must be alone at this time, I don't think I can stand by and watch! ”

Dean said with a smile.

"Alright! However, if you need help, don't hesitate to tell me - the Knights of the Northland are always happy to fight alongside you! ”

Richard. Vauban nodded, and said in an oath-bearing tone.

"It will be my pleasure!"

Dean nodded and stretched out his palm.

Richard. Vauban also stretched out his palm, and the two shook it vigorously, and then said goodbye to each other and cherished each other.

Dean and his party headed north at a faster pace than before.

"Aqiaoli ......"

In the carriage, Dean whispered the name.

No matter what the infighting of the Chiktor tribe becomes, this 'Northland Beast Tamer', he must ensure the safety of the other party.
