Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 181 The Victims
Stannis walked out of Barrow's room, and he was completely different from himself who had just entered, because just now he learned the truth about the betrayal who he thought was closest to him.

But he still couldn't believe that his fiancée would do such a thing, there must be a misunderstanding!Although it was too much for the ex-Stannis to tear up the engagement, isn't everything reconciled now?The woman also persuaded her father to accept her again. If she really hated herself so much, why did she confuse herself like this?She could have killed herself in a more direct way, but she made it so complicated, why did she do this?
At this time, Robert, who didn't know what to do, jumped out again. He didn't seem to realize that Stannis was in a huge blow, but pointed to Stannis' waist and shouted in an excited tone.

"Boss, isn't that right, Barona gave you their family's ancestral sword!"

Stannis lowered his head, the Fire Kiss sword was still inserted in the scabbard on the left side of his belt, and on his right side was another sword with the family crest of the Buffalo family painted on the scabbard.In the house just now, the grateful and guilty Baron IV handed over the Frozen Death Sword to Stannis. Now that he can no longer fight, he hopes that the Dragon Raider can use his sword.This will also allow him to contribute to tomorrow's battle.

"I'm just borrowing it." Stannis pulled out the two swords after he finished speaking. The essence of the sword-slashing technique that Stannis learned before is dual wielding. Now he can finally use his full potential, although he doesn't remember how to use it. ...

The sharp-eyed Robert found out that one of them was the Kiss of Fire sword. Although there was no flame coming out, he clearly remembered the shape of the sword after fighting with it for a while, and he rushed over excitedly to snatch it. , but was dodged by Stannis with a deft dodge and kicked him over.

"I want to use my weapon again, I won't be hit again!"

Robert sat on the ground covering his buttocks and howled dryly like a brat whose toy was robbed, "Boss, you can't do this, this sword can play its best role in my hands, it's not that I look down on you, can you do it?" ?”

Stannis inserted the sword back into its scabbard domineeringly, "You don't have to worry about it! Anyway, this sword belongs to me!"

Robert stood up unwillingly, he rolled his eyes and thought of other bad ideas, "I remember that you sold this sword to Baron Fateis, even if he is dead now, he should return it To the family, Boss, you will be punished for occupying the owner’s property like this~~”

Stannis didn't expect this guy to eat inside and out like this, so he glared at him angrily, "He doesn't have any family here now! I'm just taking care of it!"

Robert still wanted to say something, but when he saw Seaworth walking towards him, he immediately shut his mouth tactfully.

"Your Excellency Justin, Marquis Enrique ordered you to go to the pre-war meeting to prepare for the upcoming battle."

The little brother next to him burst out laughing, but Stannis didn't blame him. That little guy had already failed as a leader, and his prestige had already been lost. Take its shame.

But Stannis couldn't bear to see others fail to step down, and he still had to act on the surface, so he nodded to Seaworth, "Okay, I'll go with you."

A few minutes later, Stannis dragged the unhappy Robert into the largest house in the abandoned village.

In the room, Enrique was biting his fingernails and walking back and forth. It seemed that his words had lost their influence in the expeditionary force. Except for Stannis, only three lords attended the meeting, among them There is Wayne who has always been against the little Marquis.

"It seems that no one will come again, Your Excellency Justin, you can start." Seaworth closed the door, unexpectedly he did not let Enrique speak, but let Abbot Stannis preside over the meeting.

"Me?" Stannis asked curiously, pointing at himself.

Enrique had changed the nail biting of one hand, and he seemed to acquiesce to this fact, and the remaining lords were fine.

"These are the lords I have found who are brave and willing to fight. Sir Wayne, Sir Phibos, Sir Turania, and Sir Barrow also agreed to hand over the soldiers under your command."

"But why me?" Stannis was still very dissatisfied with being pushed into the command position.

"Because you're the only one of us who's calm enough when we see monsters, and that's what we need right now," Seaworth continued.

Stannis originally wanted to shirk, but seeing everyone's serious eyes, he had no choice but to be the supreme commander of the Erasia Expeditionary Force.

He dipped his fingers in some water and roughly drew the battlefield situation on the table, "Sir Phibos, you and Sir Turania are guarding the right side, and Wayne, you and Enrique's men are guarding the left side, I and Baro's men guarded the front with the Rhodoks."

Everyone else obeyed Stannis' orders, but Wayne asked, "Can we really hand over the task of guarding the only passage to those Rhodoks? If they betray us, the consequences will be devastating!" "

Stannis showed the aura of the leader, and said with righteous words: "I believe that these Rhodoks, if they want to see us killed, they have completely stood by before. For this, you can trust me as much as you trust me." them."

Although the suspicion in his eyes didn't diminish, Wayne didn't continue talking.

"If you have no doubts, go back and prepare. Those monsters won't attack until the river freezes, so let you guys rest quickly. We won't get reinforcements until tomorrow afternoon."

"If there is any," the viscount named Phibos complained in a low voice, and then he deliberately raised his voice and complained: "It seems that this is the end of my offending Mr. Garcia, and I was sent to die."

His unintentional remark touched Stannis's keen nerves, because he is now also the thorn in the Duke's side.

"What did you say!" Baron Turania, who was about to walk out, took back his steps, and his reaction was even bigger than Stannis.

"What's the matter?" Phoebes paused strangely, "Are you asking me why I offended His Highness the Duke? In fact, it is also unlucky. Didn't Whitney be conferred by the Duke last time? I helped him say something. Good words, I was a little impulsive in my language, and I may have drawn my sword, maybe I offended His Highness the Duke since then."
