Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 58
But nine out of ten times life is not as it should be.

Bachelor Romon scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Your Excellency, the situation may be a bit complicated. Xingyun was inherited by the previous earl, your father, 30 years ago, and according to him, it was lost by the Blackwater River, but we privately Everyone below thinks he used it as collateral for gambling debts..."

Why are you crying?Stannis stood facing the wind, touching his teary face.

"Don't play with me like this." He muttered to himself, the difficulty of hell adjusted for himself by time travel?

"Boss, don't be overwhelmed! If you commit suicide, who will support me in the future." Robert said anxiously.

Stannis glared at him, "The first thing before I hang up is to hack you to death!"

Life still has to go on, since the most pleasing long sword has been lost, I can only pick a good one from the remaining ones.

"What is this pointed stick?" He picked up a short stick with a spear point and swung it twice. It didn't look too heavy, suitable for a beginner fan of cold weapons.

Robert came up and gave a thumbs up, "Boss, you have eyes, this thing is amazing, it can stab and smash, one weapon can have two effects."

That is not good at anything, he put the thing back, and finally picked it up, his eyes fell on a one-handed pickaxe, not because of anything else, but because it was the only thing he could swing with one hand...

Picking up this hammer-like weapon, Stannis didn't feel the soul resonate.

"What's the name of this war pick?"

Bachelor Romon quickly flipped through the cowhide book. It seemed that not many people chose this weapon, so even the old pedant didn't know anything about it.

"'Broken Knee', it is rumored that dwarves forged a weapon against giants. I don't know when it was passed down to your family. It is usually used to smash walnuts. The most famous deed seems to be because of accidentally smashing a passerby to death."

That's it!Because Stannis resonates strongly with the same background as this weapon, just as confused, just as useless.

"From now on, it will be my exclusive equipment." The lord announced in public.

Before the three people congratulated him, suddenly, a curl of cooking smoke ignited from a distance, and the white wolf smoke reached the sky.

"It's the beacon fire alarm!" Bachelor Romon shouted in shock.

But Korodov and Robert were gearing up excitedly.

"What's that?" Only the unknown Stannis routine asked.

"A warning has come from the frontier! You need to respond to His Excellency the Duke's call and prepare your army to join us."

Stannis understood the meaning of this sentence, and an inexplicable throbbing came from the bottom of his heart.

"So, there's going to be a war!"

On the second day after the smoke ignited, a scout from the royal capital brought Duke Tanis' letter, asking the Red Dragon Family to fulfill their oath to him.

Bachelor Romond took the edict and quickly read it, "It turned out that there was a conflict with the Duchy of Savoy in the south. It is said that a marquis under the Duchy of Savoy decided to change the object of allegiance, so His Excellency Duke Tanis prepared to Lead the army to meet him."

"Eh...does the empire not care about this situation?" Stannis clearly remembered that there was an emperor on top of these dukes. Could it be that the emperor in the Westland was just a rubber stamp like the Holy Roman Empire?

"The imperial envoy has failed to mediate. The dukes of both sides agreed to decide the outcome on the battlefield. Judging from the current situation, the imperial army stationed here does not seem to be moving."

"Could it be that the empire is happy to see the two duchies under it fight for petty gains without forcibly intervening?" The lord felt unbelievable. How can a country like internal fighting?

Bachelor Romon sighed, and he looked to the west worriedly, "Your Majesty the Emperor is probably happy for this to happen. No matter who wins or loses in a war between two emperor electors, it is a war that is not worth the candle, and the weakened Only after the princes can make His Majesty the Emperor sit on the throne more securely, maybe the royal family is indispensable in the cause of the war."

Having said that, Stannis understood that it seems that the cruel politics of ancient and modern China and foreign countries are not outdated in any world.

"Also, Your Excellency, it says on it that you must arrive at the 'Sunset Pass' within three days. All the lords of the Principality have assembled there with their troops." Bachelor Romond continued.

But Stannis was suffering from lazy cancer, and there was no benefit in running so far, so he wanted to play a rogue again, "Do you have to go? I am afraid that the Duke will not like me."

"Your Excellency, don't you want to refuse the call!" Bachelor Romon turned pale in shock, because everyone knew what it meant to do so in this world that valued the relationship between subordinates and subordinates.

"Don't say it so badly! I'm just saving some trouble for Your Excellency the Duke. Wouldn't it be great to have less mouths to eat?" Only Stannis still didn't understand. Even if you don't go there, no one will find out."

The old man calmed down and said seriously: "Your Excellency, you know what you mean by doing this! 'A vassal who is not loyal to his lord is considered a rebellion', you are going to be an enemy of the people in the entire Principality of Stani."

The lord was frightened for a moment. He didn't expect that the basic law should be taught in war. Although he saw that he was just going to join in the fun, he couldn't imagine that if he didn't join in the fun, the end would be so serious. I'm afraid he would be flattened by others tomorrow.

"It's just a joke to keep the atmosphere alive. Don't be so serious. How can a great man like me, who is so loyal and patriotic, take it as his own responsibility to defend the country?" He changed his tone instantly.

Bachelor Romon nodded. He picked up a pen and prepared to record it in the cowhide book, "So, Your Excellency, who are you going to lead the army this time?"

Korodov took a step forward without hesitation, and loosened his collar proudly. Every time the Duke issued an edict, the Earl sent him to take a group of peasants to join the battle. Strictly speaking, it was more like It is labor, because these peasant uncles can only dig trenches and dig tunnels.

"No, this time I will personally lead the team." Stannis said firmly.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, because they knew that he hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, at least a year.

"What's the matter, is it strange for the lord to go to the battlefield?" He also felt something wrong with their surprised eyes.

"Of course not, Your Excellency, but why did you suddenly decide to go to the battlefield? You are the last direct descendant of this family, if you are not careful, it will be very..." Bachelor Romon did not continue.
