Lord Chronicle

Chapter 115
On this day, Thor was going to find Leo to get the 50 dwarf warriors and prepare for the Diviji Fortress.A garrison member hurried over and said, "My lord, the king's messenger is here."

"The king's messenger?" Sol was stunned.

"Yes, he came from Dusk, the capital of the kingdom. He brought you the king's handwritten letter, and he is waiting at the lord's mansion." The guard said.

The last time the king's personal letter made Sol arrogant, he led his troops out to serve the king in high spirits, but he almost died in the chaos, and he worked as a guerrilla in Ferris for several months, which can be said to be unlucky .

This time the king actually sent him another personal letter, and Sol couldn't help muttering, won't Lao Tzu's bad luck come again?

But the muttering was the same, the messenger still had to see him, so Sol had no choice but to turn around and go back to the lord's mansion.

"Master Marquis Sol, I brought you a letter from His Majesty the King." Seeing Sol, the messenger immediately said to him respectfully.

"Marquis?" Sol was startled, when did I get promoted?

The messenger explained: "Based on your heroic deeds in Diviji Fortress, His Majesty the King has decided to promote you to Marquis as a reward. In addition, all the warriors in Lovell who fought with you will also be rewarded."

It turned out that this was the case secretly, and Sol casually took the promotion order from the messenger.This is good. In less than a year, he was promoted from lord to earl, and then in less than a year, he became marquis again. This promotion speed is as fast as riding a rocket.

You must know that with the honor and favor of Cliff at the beginning, he has only stayed in the position of Marquis for decades and has never been promoted again, which shows how difficult it is to be promoted to this title.From this point of view, Sol's promotion speed is absolutely unprecedented in the history of Dinar.

In fact, Saul didn't care whether it was a Marquis or an Earl.In his opinion, nothing is as real as a yellow gold coin in his hand.

However, Jessica and the guards on the side were overjoyed. They were deeply honored that the lord was able to obtain such an honor in such a short period of time.

After Saul thanked His Majesty the king for his kindness as a routine, the messenger carefully took out the king's letter and handed it to him: "This is a letter from the king, please read it."

After receiving the letter and verifying that the sealant was intact, Sol took out the letter and read it.The letter was very short, less than half a page, but Sol was stunned after reading it.

"What's wrong?" Jessica asked, noticing that his expression was wrong.

Thor swallowed his saliva, and handed him the letter: "The king recruited me, you, and Kress to the capital."

When reading the letter to Sol, he didn't let his subordinates back down, and handed the king's letter to Jessica without any scruples, the messenger was taken aback.But this is Sol's territory after all, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

"What?" Jessica took the letter and read it again, also full of surprise.

The king's order was very clear, let Sol take Jessica and Kress to leave for the capital immediately, but did not specify why.

"Well, do you know why the king summoned us?" Saul couldn't help asking.

The courier shook his head and said, "This is beyond the reach of villains. You have received the letter, so please leave as soon as possible. Mr. Kress is waiting for you to meet at Diviji Fortress."

"Have you notified him yet?" Jessica asked.
The messenger said: "Yes, I first went to Diviji Fortress and came to Lovell after learning that the Marquis had returned to the territory. The task is completed, and I will return to the king's capital to report."

Wrote a reply letter acknowledging receipt of the letter, and Saul sent the messenger away.At this time, he was full of doubts, why did the king ask Lao Tzu to go to the capital for no reason?Wouldn't it be to reward me face to face?Even so, why did they call Jessica and Kress?
Ask Jessica, and she can't tell why.Finally she asked, "What are you going to do?"

The secret passage is really "the first sentence, the lower one will break your leg", ah, who made me work for the king?He smiled wryly: "What else can I do, of course I have to go."

As he spoke, he continued, "It's just that if you leave, what should you do about the territory?"

Jessica thought about it for a while and said: "It's not a big problem. Many things have been on the right track for a while, and the rest are just some finishing touches. I can ask grandpa to come forward to help deal with it, and there are a few officials to help him It is good to leave the defense of the territory to Dylan, and let Manson take charge of the construction, and there will be no problems with those dwarf craftsmen."

Seeing that she arranged the territory in an orderly manner with a few words, Sol couldn't help but said: "Jessica, I am so lucky to have you in charge."

Jessica blushed pretty, and looked away as if she couldn't help Sol's gaze.After a while, she said in an imperceptible tone: "In fact, it is my luck to meet you, the lord..."

"What? What did you say?"

"No." Jessica quickly turned her back.

"No, I heard it clearly, you said luck or something, what exactly is it?" Sol's curiosity arose, and he kept asking around her.

"I hate it, it has nothing to do with you." Jessica pushed Saul hard behind her back: "Go find Manson and the others, we have to arrange things after we leave."

Saul had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and walk towards the door.Just when Jessica secretly breathed a sigh of relief to get rid of the embarrassment, Sol suddenly turned around: "Jessica, you just said that you are lucky to meet me, right?"

"Ah, you..." Unexpectedly, Sol heard it all, and Jessica blushed so much that she covered her ears.

"Hey, my ears are very good." Amidst the triumphant laughter, Sol ran away in a hurry.

************************************************** *******************
"No, I'm going to Diviji Castle too!" Kafir said firmly.

"This..." Sol looked at Lesta, who gave him a helpless look.

"Kaffir, it's the front line, and it's surrounded by the enemy. It's very dangerous, not suitable for girls..." Saul persuaded earnestly.

Kafir interrupted him without hesitation: "Although I don't know how to fight, you all need a doctor. I am a combat priest, and I will definitely be useful."

These words reminded Sol that although there is no shortage of medicines in Diviji Castle, there are not many doctors. If there is a large-scale battle, unnecessary casualties are likely to occur.Since we want to take the dwarf craftsman there, it is better to take the opportunity to recruit some doctors in the territory.

Seeing that he was silent, Kafir stomped and said, "Sol, just let me go."

"No, you stay in the territory and let other doctors go." Sol said in a non-negotiable tone.

Kafir froze for a moment, and then tears welled up in his eyes: "But...but I..."

"Kaffir, listen to me, that's not where you should go. Stay in Lovell obediently, the residents of the territory need you too." Sol patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.

Unexpectedly, Kafir waved his hand away and said angrily, "Why, why do you always look down on me?"

"Ah? This... I don't have it." Sol was stunned.

Regardless of the crowd watching from the sidelines, Kafir said excitedly: "Then why do you still treat me like a child and refuse to admit that I can already be on my own? Jessica is also a woman, why do you do dangerous things every time?" But you always bring her with you? I am no longer that wayward kid who went to the death group, and I can help you too!"

Saul couldn't help being silent. Only then did he know why Kafir, who had always been sensible, was so stubborn today.It seems that Jessica was recruited by the king together with him, which deeply hurt her, so she wanted to prove to Saul that she was not useless and only knew how to stay in Lovell and wait obediently.

In fact, Kafir has been proving herself to Sol all along, hoping to attract his attention. The most typical example is that she takes over the town's hospital and uses her ability to do her part for the territory.In fact, she did a very good job. Under her leadership, the medical level of the town's hospitals has been greatly improved.

However, Saul didn't notice this. He was used to relying on Jessica in everything, but ignored this girl who was silently working hard for him behind the scenes.Finally, Kafir, who felt that he was obviously at a disadvantage in the competition with Jessica, finally couldn't help it.

That's why she asked to go to Diviji Castle to prove to Sol that she was no longer the wayward girl she was back then, and that she could also be a good helper to the lord.Going one step further, you have the qualification to compete with Jessica.

Knowing this, Saul hesitated a little.Kafir is a very stubborn girl, if she refuses blindly, it may completely break her heart.However, Diviji Castle is located on the front line, so it is very dangerous. If there is something wrong with Kafir...

Difficult to make a decision, he had no choice but to look to other people for help.

Facing his gaze, Dylan said calmly: "My lord, Kafir is no longer a child, she can be responsible for her actions."

Lesta patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my sister is not that weak."

Manson stroked his beard with a smile: "What a nice girl."

"Hmph." Jessica didn't speak, and only gave Sol the back of his head.

Sol knew that Jessica must have also noticed Kafir's intentions. Obviously, women will never be generous in this kind of matter.

However, from the moment he realized Kafir's determination, Sol already knew what answer he would make.He could only secretly say God bless, and hope that Jessica can calm down soon.

He nodded seriously: "Okay, I promise you."

"Really? Sol, you are so kind!" Kafir was overjoyed and hugged Sol.

"I won't let you down."

Just when everyone was gratified that this matter was resolved perfectly, Jessica said coldly: "If you want to be intimate, please go outside, we still have a lot to do."

Kafir was in such a good mood today that he won a small game, so he didn't bother to care about her cynicism.She made a face at Jessica in a demonstration, and sat aside happily.

Looking at the two women who are incompatible with each other, Sol can only cry and laugh. It seems that many things will happen in the future. I just hope that I, a pond fish, will not be affected.

Afterwards, they will arrange matters for everyone after they leave. Dylan is still responsible for the defense of the territory, supplemented by dwarf warriors, which can achieve double insurance; while Manson is also responsible for the construction of the territory. Once the factory is built, A batch of high-quality equipment will be produced immediately.In addition, if the dwarves find mineral veins in the mountains, they must be put into production as soon as possible.

In addition, Saul also gave Manson a blueprint, which contained some items that he thought of that could be made with the current manufacturing level of the territory.However, he didn't know how to make many things, so he could only provide a general direction, leaving the rest for the dwarves to figure out by themselves.

Manson was overjoyed to get this blueprint. Although he had more and more power, his heart still burned with the dwarven nature of forging.After a cursory look, he patted his chest and promised to make the contents as soon as possible.

And the internal affairs of the territory were handed over to Vince, the old steward. He patted his chest and promised Sol that he would take care of everything.Although Vince's energy was not as good as before, Sol was quite at ease with his rich experience and prestige in the territory.

After being busy for a while, Sol finally explained the matter.After leaving everyone behind for a farewell banquet, Sol and Jessica set out on the road the next day.

This time Thor recruited about 15 doctors and priests from the territory, most of which were provided by the Adventurer's Guild, and they were all led by Kafir.

Due to the tight order of the king, Sol decided to go first with Jessica, while Lesta set off with the group of dwarf warriors and doctors.

Early the next morning, many residents outside the town spontaneously came to see him off. After hearing the news that Sol was leaving, Marlene cried until she was dark. Jessica came to a corner to comfort her softly.

Taking a moment, Sol pulled Kafir aside, and said solemnly: "When I arrive at Diviji Castle, I will leave the winged horse there. Kafir, you have to promise me that if any danger happens , you must ride it away.”

Kafir was greatly moved by his words, but when she thought that although she could go to Diviji Castle, she still couldn't stay by Sol's side like Jessica, she felt aggrieved, and tears began to glisten in her eyes.

Sol was taken aback, and couldn't stop comforting him, finally making Kafir smile through his tears.After another quarrel, it was finally time to set off.

Sol summons Simba to ride Jessica, while he and Chip ride the winged horse.Under the reluctant eyes of everyone in Lovell, two monsters carried the three of them soaring into the sky, and quickly flew into the sky.

************************************************** ************************
There was no words all the way, and two days later, the three arrived at Diviji Castle.

The sentry at the highest end of the castle spotted two monsters in the distance, and when Gein came to the platform after receiving the report, Sol just jumped off the winged horse.

"Congratulations, your kid's title has been promoted again." Gein joked as he stepped forward to give Sol a warm bear hug.

Sol punched his breastplate unceremoniously: "What about you, what kind of official position did you get?"

Gein sighed pretendingly: "It's just a Royal Medal of Honor, a viscount and the commander of Diviji Castle, nothing compared to you." But looking at the look in his eyes, he was obviously very proud of it.

Sol looked helpless: "Come on? I just got promoted and I have to run to the king's capital. There must be nothing good."

Gein also heard about Sol's being recruited by the king, and he asked strangely, "Don't you know why?"

Sol shrugged: "It's good to know. By the way, how is the castle recently?"

Talking about this, Gein was elated: "After you left, I repelled several large-scale attacks by the enemy, and even killed their commander with a cavalry raid. Now those guys have retreated to the edge of the forest and never dared to attack again." I attacked rashly. In addition, I have received a lot of rebels, and now the castle has more than 8000 defenders."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "It's a pity that the damage to the city wall is getting worse and worse, and one of the trebuchets is not working properly. If no craftsman can be found, the situation will be even worse in the future."

Thor said: "Don't worry, 50 dwarf warriors are already on their way here, and I also found a dozen doctors and priests for you. How about it, is it interesting?"

Gein was overjoyed: "You're fine, boy. There are a lot of casualties in these days of fighting, and I'm worrying about the lack of doctors. This is good. When will they arrive?"

"There are several women in the pastor, so it may be slower, but it will arrive in half a month at most." Sol thought for a while.

"Woman!?" Gein was immediately excited, as if he didn't even know where to put his hands.

Sol thought to himself why I almost forgot that this guy is also one of the "Four Lows", and his true nature was highlighted in one sentence.

"How about it, are you young? Are you beautiful? Are you open?" Gein kept asking.

"Let me warn you first, one of them is Lesta's younger sister, you'd better not get her idea, otherwise Lesta will split you in half." Sol didn't want Kafir to fall into The guy had it in his hand, so he warned in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that orangutan's sister." Gein curled his lips in disdain. Obviously, in his opinion, with Eliest's appearance, his sister must also be a shrew.

Sol still wanted to remind him, but he was afraid that it would arouse this guy's curiosity instead.But on second thought, what are you afraid of?With Kafir's mace and Lesta's meticulous "care" for his sister, it's still uncertain who will be unlucky.

So he said: "Anyway, you must never attack her. Brother, I am doing it for your own good. The others are really good, but whether you can succeed depends on your kid's ability."

"Two years, two years, since I was dragged into the army by my father, I haven't even touched a woman's hand for two full years, which is really insulting to the name of the Four Masters. But the god Dinisos did not abandon me, poor man, after all. The pure and innocent boy, Gein's spring is coming! Hehehehe..." Immersed in his own fantasy, Gein let out a strange smile.

I really didn't expect that the usually resolute and brave captain would have such an unbearable side, and the few guards on the side looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Ahem..." Just as Gein was thinking about it, two dry coughs came from the side.

Gain woke up with a start, and looked back, only to find that Jessica was staring at him with an angry face. It was obvious that she had heard all the nasty conversations between the two men just now.

Seeing Jessica, Gain's eyes lit up immediately, and he opened his arms with a lewd smile on his face, "Oh, Jessica, so you're here too? Come on, let me hug you and see you!" Have you lost weight recently…”

Seeing Jessica with a frosty face pressed her hand to the hilt of the sword, Sol could only silently say to Gein who was still unconscious: Brother, you can go with peace of mind...

A moment later, a scream resounded throughout the castle from the high platform: "Wow... Jessica, I was wrong, don't stab there, I haven't used it yet... Help!"

************************************************** ***********************
After a night's rest, Sol stored the winged horse in the castle, joined Kress, brought two Yeying players and five defenders, and the group embarked on the journey to the capital.

Since the castle was surrounded by enemy troops, their plan was to go east from the Primo Mountains behind the castle, leave Ramoland and enter Dixland, and then try to enter the capital from the front line of Overland.

Since they had to pass through enemy-occupied areas along the way, everyone in the group was cautious, and the Yeying team members were responsible for guarding along the road, and then tried to take remote roads to avoid encountering the enemy.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and soon they passed through Dixland and came to the border area with Overland, and further on, it was the place where the Lulin Army and King Dinard's army confronted each other.

On this day, in a forest on the border of Overland.

"How is it?" Saul asked lying on the grass.

Quickly glanced out, Chip whispered, "It's over."

This afternoon, just as they were about to sneak into Overland through the woods, they encountered a battle unexpectedly. In order to avoid being affected, they had no choice but to hide in the woods first.

This is a typical encounter, the protagonists are Dinard and Lulin's troops respectively.The two sides met unexpectedly, and the battle quickly ended. This small army of Dinard was completely wiped out, and more than 50 corpses were scattered in the open space outside the woods.

The remaining Lulin Army quickly cleaned up the battlefield, but did not leave.Just when everyone was surprised, Chip suddenly said in a deep voice: "It's not right!"

At the same time, two mysterious mages dressed in gray mage robes, with their heads and faces hidden in wide hoods, slowly came out from Lu Linjun's side.

The identity of the other party is not difficult to identify. In fact, Saul has dealt with them many times.It's just that he was surprised to see them here.

"How come, what is the necromancer doing here?" Kress murmured at this moment.

The other party quickly gave them an answer.I saw two necromancers slowly walking into the battlefield full of dead bodies. They gathered a strange black energy in their hands. Every time they passed the corpse of a Dinar soldier, a black energy rushed over, and then Amidst a rattling sound, the dead body on the ground began to wriggle.

"My God, these people are collecting corpses." A guard couldn't help exclaiming.

In a short time, half of the corpses on the battlefield were "resurrected" by them.These dead bodies were dripping with blood, with terrible wounds hanging on their bodies, and some had broken arms and legs, and were incomplete. However, at this moment, the dead people who should have been lying on the ground stood up one after another.

"What's going on, when did the Lulin Empire start cooperating with the Necromancer Guild? Why did they allow them to collect corpses on the battlefield?" Jessica asked in amazement.

Sol shook his head: "I don't know, but one thing is for sure, the relationship between them is not simple."

At the same time, everyone also noticed that the Lu Linjun who were waiting aside all showed disgust on their faces. Obviously, they also couldn't see the necromancer's behavior, but no one stopped it.

Obviously, they had been ordered not to interfere with the necromancer's actions.

"This has happened. If even the Necromancer Guild gets involved in this war, it will definitely be a terrible disaster." Jessica said worriedly.

Her worries are not unreasonable. The Lulin Empire has put Dinar in jeopardy. If these guys who can manipulate corpses are added, the situation facing Dinar will be even worse.

Everyone had seen the ruthlessness and cruelty of these living dead in the last battle of Lowell, and they didn't think that these guys collected corpses just out of some peculiar hobby.

"Don't think so much, we have to leave quickly before the other party finds out." Chip whispered at this time.

The enemy is too strong, they can't do anything, it's better to leave as soon as possible.Just about to order everyone to evacuate, Sol's heart moved, and he suddenly waved to Chip.

Taking out two magic crystals that he had picked up from Diviji Castle for self-defense on the road, Sol whispered something in Chip's ear.Chip nodded without saying a word, took the magic crystal and ran out quietly.

Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, he moved to the edge of the woods.There were two corpses of Dinar soldiers who were shot in the back as they tried to escape, and because they were far away from the battlefield, no one noticed them for a while.

After quietly reciting a few spells, Kip pressed the magic crystals under the corpse, using the weight of the corpse to delay their eruption.In this way, as long as someone removes the corpse, the magic crystal below will explode, which is the simplest and most effective trap.

After setting up, Chip gestured to the crowd, and the group retreated quietly along the woods.

At this time, the two necromancers had collected the corpses of all the Dinar soldiers. Suddenly, a necromancer noticed the two corpses by the woods and walked over.

Waved a wave of black energy at the corpse, and while the corpse was struggling to get up, the necromancer was surprised to see two groups of fiery red lights suddenly bursting out from under the corpse.

Walking through the woods for a while, everyone heard a shocking explosion behind them, and at the same time, two flames rose into the air.Sol couldn't help showing a smug smile, and didn't bother to think about the chaos over there now, and the group left in a hurry.
