Chapter 276: Horsh County II.
Dean and his party were invited into the city of Hosh by the guards, and in a post behind the gates, they waited for news from the Grand Knight of Norton, a low, cramped building made of solid wood, where only three people could stand after a brazier had been placed.
Obviously, the duty of this post is more of a sentry.
Refusing the guards' invitation to go up the tower to the real outpost, Dean and the Grand Duke's swordsman entered the outpost and waited quietly.
"Instructor, you and that Mott. Is Carl Silver Knight familiar? β
Standing by the brazier, Dean suddenly asked.
Of course, there is nothing special about this kind of inquiry, it is just pure curiosity.
For the Mott who only has a 'one-sided relationship'. Karl, Dean still has some understanding - in Dean's memory, the other party fell with the fall of Horsh, died on the battlefield, and accompanied the Earl of Horsh to fulfill the promise of nobility and knight; Dean has a lot of admiration for this Silver Knight.
After all, under the circumstances, if the other party really wanted to run, they would definitely be able to rush out.
And under such a premise, the other party chose to die in battle, and just this is enough for Dean to put the other party in the camp of friendly forces.
And in order to get to know the other party better, Dean naturally wanted to ask the Grand Duke Swordsman, who seemed to be quite familiar with the other party.
"Mott once traveled to the three southern counties, and I fought him several times, and after that, we had some friendships! Not what you think. It's just a simple mutual admiration for strength! β
The Grand Duke's swordsman said very simply; But. When I saw Dean's thoughtful expression. But he frowned and added.
"yes, I know!"
Dean nodded.
Perhaps, this seems to others to be covered, but in the case of the Grand Duke Swordsman, it is completely feasible.
After all, the other party doesn't like men.
This was something that Dean knew in his previous life. The whole person is not good.
However, in this life, I got used to it.
Of course, for the sake of the relationship between the two parties, Dean would never say it so bluntly.
There are some secrets that always need to be hidden in the bottom of your heart.
It's like his own inner secret, he can't tell anyone else, can't he?
Because he already knew the secret of the Grand Duke Sword Master, so, in the face of the explanation of the Grand Duke Sword Master. Dean is very calm.
Like, as it should be.
But. Such a reaction made the Grand Duke Sword Master a little puzzled.
She could see that Dean genuinely approved of her explanation, not perfunctory - this was undoubtedly a good thing, compared to her usual explanations, the jokes of her friends and companions were undoubtedly much stronger.
However, inexplicably, the Grand Duke Swordsman always felt that something was wrong.
"Could it be that my secret has been discovered?"
Subconsciously, such a thought rose in the heart of the Grand Duke Sword Master.
Soon, though, she shook her head and threw the thought out of her mindβfor, she was sure, she wasn't showing a flaw.
Whether it's with Dean or when Dean isn't there, he's very careful.
Even when teaching the daughter of the Baron of Tyre, she tried her best to restrain herself.
"Is it because of our relationship, do you trust me?"
Thinking in his heart, the chief swordsman of the Grand Duke subconsciously looked at Dean, in this short, narrow outpost, Dean was still standing straight, like a javelin, the giant sword stood beside him like this, exuding a faint bloody aura, such an aura was enough to make ordinary people frightened and frightened.
However, the Grand Duke's swordsmanship is not like this, and her military career has already made her accustomed to such an atmosphere, and even, she has a feeling of getting closer and closer.
And in the light of the flames, Dean's side face, flickering in light and darkness, carried the perseverance and fierceness that belonged to the battlefield general.
"It's a pity that it's a man'......"
The Grand Duke's swordsman looked at Dean and finally, sighed silently.
Dean naturally felt the gaze of the Grand Duke Swordsman, but he didn't care - in this short, narrow outpost, just the two of them, if there was anything to care about around, it was naturally normal for his eyes to be on each other's bodies; Moreover, with the relationship between the two parties, there will be no malice in such a look.
So Dean took it in stride.
Coupled with some plans in his mind for this trip to the south, Dean didn't care about these trivial things.
For a while, in the outpost, except for the 'crackling' sound of dry wood in the brazier, it was quiet.
However, when a series of slightly heavy footsteps sounded outside, Dean subconsciously pushed open the door of the outpost-
A group of men dressed in different costumes, some in leather armor, some in steel armor, and a few in cotton robes, with various weapons in their hands, appeared in front of the outpost.
"Mercenaries?"
Dean frowned.
Originally, Dean thought that the Earl of Horsh had arrived, but what he didn't expect was a group of mercenaries.
Of course, more importantly, Dean felt a deep sense of ill-will in these mercenaries - it was obvious to look at the slightly provocative wielding of weapons and the sneering smiles of the other men.
"Stop!"
Chad and Maher shouted loudly and stopped these mercenaries, and the veterans of the Knights of the Knights of the Fercharon around them drew their weapons in unison.
There is no good impression of the mercenaries themselves, and the ill intentions of these mercenaries in front of them are almost immediately, and Chad and Maher put each other in the ranks of the enemy.
"Oops, what's going on? Is this the etiquette of Vauban County? What a disappointment! β
The sound of the voice in the oil and low voice was unconsciously disgusting, especially when the owner of the voice stepped out. It made the young people of the Knights of Fecharon frown.
Emaciated figure, cheeks. Thin eyes. No matter how you look at it, it's a mean look.
Coupled with the bright red tongue, licking back and forth at the corners of the mouth, it made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
"Manners in Vaubonshire? Who are you who want to treat you with the etiquette of a county? Is it just your status as a vulture and ghoul on the battlefield? Vauban etiquette is not so cheap! β
Dean stood there, speaking slowly, his voice clear all around.
Suddenly, the faces of the leading mercenary and the mercenaries around him changed.
But. They had no way to refute it - because, as Dean said, they weren't qualified!
Mercenaries, in all seriousness, are nothing more than freedmen.
There is no nobility and so on, what a respectable status.
In some places, they are even expelled as thieves.
And the leader Roalte, the captain of the second team of the Lion Mercenary Group, hated it from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't expect that he wanted to mock the other party. was seized by the other party.
Sharp-toothed guy!
scolded in his heart, but Robert was still the same on the surface. He looked at Dean and said knowingly, "This is Dean. Willing. Lord Zelgaon? β
"When will it be permissible for commoners to bow to nobles and call them by their first names?"
Dean didn't answer the other party directly, just sneered a few times.
When commoners meet nobles, they generally greet nobles with hats off, or simply bend down and kneel on one knee.
However, in most cases, a hat hat salute is appropriate.
Of course, in some places, prostrations are the norm - for example: Siti!
"You're offending me, you know? Or rather...... You simply can't understand the sin of offending the nobility? You really deserve to be hanged here to make an example! β
Dean looked at the other party's face and did not stop, but continued.
The other party has already expressed strong hostility, then it is the enemy.
As for the enemy, Dean naturally will not show mercy.
"Count Horsh is so kind that he allows you lowly things to walk the streets calmly - compared to the lords, you jackals, the gutter is where you should be......"
With a hint of slander. Sex. Quality, Dean said word by word, but spoke very quickly.
Suddenly, the faces of the mercenaries who were in front of them changed brightly and darkly in such words, especially Roalte, who had encouraged most of the people to come, his face was completely pale.
"I, I, I'm going to challenge you!"
In the end, the second captain of the Lion Mercenary Regiment, who had only planned to taunt Dean twice, yelled.
"Challenge me, are you worthy?"
Although Dean wished that the other party was like this, the sneer on the corner of his mouth was still the same.
After all, the other party is a big knight, and he is also hostile, once he lets the other party go, if he does something bad in secret, it is likely to cause him some trouble.
Coupled with the identity of the other party's lion mercenary group, Dean has no reason to let the other party go.
As for why Dean is so sure?
To be able to have a great knight-level mercenary in Horsh County, Dean can't think of anyone else except the Lion Mercenary Group.
As for this mercenary group that has been taken care of by the county king of Hosh County many times, but when Xiti's troops came to the city, they directly defected to the battle, Dean did not have any more love at all.
To put it simply, the Lion Mercenary Group excludes a few people.
If he could, Dean was going to kill them all.
It's just that what Dean didn't expect was that before he could figure out how to start, the other party sent it to the door!
Of course, Dean will not let go of such a good opportunity.
However, considering the face of that Earl of Horsh, Dean would definitely not take the initiative to bring it up, but waited for the other party, as if now-
"I'm the captain of the second team of the Lion Mercenary Regiment, Roalte!"
As if to prove that he had the qualifications, Roalt yelled loudly.
