[Thank you karsuszhang@ Baidu, Laughing Face Party, Sam Cai, Sue in the war, Brother Xiang, Starry Sky Ghost, King of Bones, Three Years and Three Years, Monk Hein, manianLB and other brothers for their tips and monthly passes during this time.] In the past few days, Erbao at home has a cold and fever, and he is very busy, and he has not seen everyone's encouragement for the first time. This year's cold wave is fierce enough, everyone should pay attention to keep warm, don't catch a cold! ]

As it turned out, Onte was still a big kid. couldn't stand Fei Lin's several begging, and after three or two tickles, she threw away her armor. Completely forgetting what he had just said, he had already built a crooked snowman with Felin a moment later. The two of them used the dead branches they had picked up as their hands, and Fei Lin somehow found two red fruits and put them on the snowman's head, turning them into eyes.

I don't know who started it, but after the two of them built the snowman, they started a snowball, and you and I played it so lively.

Alan sat by the carriage door, his legs dangling from side to side. He bit a yellowed grass root, looked at the two people who were fighting, and said, "I remember when I was a child, there was a heavy snow on a winter night. I was so excited that I finally waited until dawn, and I ran outside to build such a snowman without worrying about eating. As a result, the snowman didn't make it, but was beaten by his mother. ”

"Oh?" Belmode chuckled, "Lady Lannie is right, the radiation on the surface was quite severe ten years ago. Radiant snow, in particular, is simply a deadly substance. Instead, I'll beat you up. ”

"When I was young, I didn't know so much, so I thought how this snow was so beautiful. Why does it snow so much, and where do they come from? I was angry and annoyed that the snowman wasn't built that day. I am sometimes very stubborn, and I don't cry when my mother beats me, so I hold my breath. Later, my mother had no choice but to say that she would build a snowman with me next year, and I cried. ”

Alan looked up at the white sky: "As a result, the next year we haven't built a snowman yet, and the predators are here." Then, everything changed. ”

Belmode looked at him, slowly lowering his gaze.

"Don't talk about that." Alan looked at his first servant, "Have you read the news from Darkblade?" ”

"Everything you need to know knows." Belmode nodded.

Alan sneered, "I know as much as you do." ”

Belmode spread his hands and said I didn't say anything. Alan restrained his smile and said, "Ryked is recruiting." ”

This is a well-known thing, but the news from the dark blade is not the 3,000 troops that the early wind has spread outside. According to Darkblade's information, the current strength of the mountain city has reached five thousand, or even more. For an earl, raising a legion of five thousand men was beyond his authority and ability. When it comes to the Jazz Private Army, the Empire has strict restrictions to prevent lords from holding their own armies.

Five thousand private troops, that is already the formation of the marquis's army. Moreover, although the mountain city is not poor, it is far from being rich enough to flow oil. Even if Luckd can afford to raise this army of 5,000 people in a short period of time, he will definitely not survive half a year before the wealth of the mountain city will be exhausted.

But now, Rykerd is clearly holding up. Not only did they buy grain on a large scale, but the weapons workshops in the mountain cities were working day and night to produce equipment for the army. Edward's Hidden Blade in the mountain city revealed a shocking piece of news, and Rykerd had purchased a batch of horses through some secret means, enough to equip a cavalry army of 2,000 men.

With such an army, if you don't put aside the high-end combat power, the army of the mountain city is enough to sweep through several territories, including Allen.

"The old earl has great ambitions." Belmode had an indifferent smile on his face: "He can endure it, but he has endured it for half a year." And I heard that not long ago, Huo Yi's son went to the mountain town to toss him, and he also lost Luckd to pay for his smiling face, and sent a late compensation to Ark Harbor. ”

"Can you be ambitious? As you can see, Darkblade's message says that there are more than just humans in the barracks. Rykerd has set aside an independent camp to prohibit outsiders from being within 100 meters of the camp. The violator was immediately killed on the spot, and it took a lot of effort for the Dark Blade to find out that there was a foreign figure in that independent camp. Alan narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, it's the alien race of the Heavenly Star." ”

"The Duchy of Shadows?" Belmode frowned: "Does Rykerd still want to rebel against the empire?" No matter how ambitious you are, cooperating with Shadow Park is tantamount to turning against the Empire. He is a small Southern Earl, worthy of the Emperor's Thunderous Fury? ”

"Who knows. Maybe he's bold. Maybe he didn't do it voluntarily, or was it both? Alan laughed: "But if there are traces of alien activities, it is difficult to ensure that there are no masters and powerhouses of the Shadow Principality in the mountain city." ”

"Then it won't be so easy to kill Rycde." Belmode tried to ask, "Why don't you transfer Hubble and Lola?" ”

"Time doesn't allow it, and there's no need to say anything more. This time we're in the killer business, not the enemy. It's easier for the two of us to move, and if there are too many people, the goal is too obvious. Alan patted the Red King next to him and said: "I don't have anything to worry about dealing with Rykede, the empire is not a vegetarian, even if the Shadow Principality cooperates with Rekde, it will not dare to blatantly transfer too high-level powerhouses over." Otherwise, the empire would have found out earlier, so I bet that the alien powerhouses in the mountain city would not survive beyond level twenty-five. The count's combat power is not yet a strength earl. Honestly, it's really no match for me. ”

"What's more, I don't think Rykerd has that much power to dare to stuff a twenty-fifth level alien powerhouse into his territory. That's no longer cooperation, it's luring wolves into the room. ”

"The Earl of Rykerd has three sons. The ending must be two lives and one death, which two are born and which one dies? Alan seemed to be asking himself questions.

Suddenly, there was a soft shout.

The conversation between the two was interrupted and they raised their heads at the same time. It turned out that Ferrin threw a snowball at Onte, who shrank his neck, and the snowball smashed into Darang's face as he walked towards them. The snow puff fell, and Darang was expressionless. He seemed to inadvertently hit Onte, who immediately fell to the ground in the snow. Fortunately, the snow was soft, so I didn't have any problems falling. But Onte looked annoyed, propped up his body and glanced at Alan first. The latter smiled and did not say anything, and Onte frowned and walked away without saying a word.

A smile was evident in Darang's eyes.

"He did it on purpose." Belmode said softly, his right hand raised slightly.

Alan stretched out a finger and tapped the back of Belmode's hand without a trace, and a black flame quietly dissipated from the palm of the latter's palm.

At this time, Dalang made a gesture to help Onte, and the boy snorted and withdrew his hand. Darang was not angry, and smiled: "I didn't pay attention just now." But the slightest touch of it knocks you on the ground, and it surprises me a little. Little guy, if you have time, you should practice your sword or exercise your body, what kind of man is it if you only play with girls? ”

Although he was talking to Onte, he looked at Alan.

Alan clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Darang is right, did you hear it?" In the future, it would be good to play less with Miss Felin and practice more swords. ”

Darang cursed "rice bucket" in a voice he could hear, but he didn't know who he was referring to. With an impeccable smile, he beckoned to Ferrin, "Uncle Woch is looking for you." ”

Fei Lin spat out and said, "Got it." Then he waved his hand at Onte, and then stole a glance at the red hair like flames, and unfortunately the man looked back. The girl jumped up like a cat, and then ran with her head down, her heart fluttering uncontrollably.

Darang narrowed his eyes, taking everything in his eyes, but didn't say anything. Just nodded to Allen, and chased Fei Lin away.

Annoyed and walked back, kicked Alan and said, "Why don't you help me?" ”

"Why should I help you?" Alan gave him a blank look: "People are looking for trouble with you, and you have the ability to get back to the field yourself." ”

Onte snorted, "He's borrowing me to taunt you, you won't be able to hear it." ”

Alan laughed: "Even you little guy can hear it, unless I'm deaf, otherwise I can't hear his little thoughts." ”

"Then you can still laugh!"

"Why can't you laugh?" Alan plucked out his ears, looked at the snowy scene in the distance and said, "If an ant bites you, do you have to pinch it to death?" If so, how small do you have to be. If you want to trample a piece of a small thing like this with one foot, why be angry about one of them. Even if the ant thinks it's unique. But it's still an ant. ”

Onte doesn't seem to understand.

At the other end of the camp, Darang and Hunter met, followed by four or five young mercenaries. As if they knew what Da Lang was going to do, Hunter deliberately bumped into Da Lang and said, "How about it, those two young masters didn't turn their faces with you?" ”

Dalang smiled and shook his head, Hunter and a few mercenaries were the retreat he left. If they annoy the two nobles, and their guards want to do something, let Hunter and them go to the round. And Ferrin was on the side, and if something really happened, Wolf would have to intervene if he wanted to intervene with his daughter. And as a result, he won't have any, at most the Thousand Bird Mercenaries or Wolf will suffer.

But the result was unexpected.

The red-haired nobleman was neither angry nor reckless. But the practice of looking for yourself under the stairs looks like a retreat no matter how you look at it.

"It's just two rice buckets, don't care." Darang casually said, glancing in the direction of Alan's carriage. Dalang smiled coldly and beckoned the Hunters to leave.

After a short rest, the caravan continued its journey. The journey lasted an afternoon, and it was not until the sun waned that the caravan found a small forest to rest for a while. A number of clearings were cleared in the woods for caravans and mercenary groups to rest. Night soon fell, and the world was pitch black as seen through the campfire. It's so dark that you haven't seen a single star, and the weather is always oppressive.

Darang assigned the men of the night watch according to Walch's orders, and he was in charge of keeping watch late at night, so he went back to the tent to rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as the man lay down, he felt a shock to the ground.

Regular vibrations!

Horseshoe on the ground!
