Blue Sword

The atmosphere in the camp was becoming increasingly tense.

On the one hand, life is really depressing. Since the military market was forcibly closed, the only place for soldiers and knights to spend time is gone. They can only stay in tents all day long, or be sent out to the battlefield to fight with unknown soldiers. Pain, life and death, what a machine fight.

On the other hand, there are rumors spreading like wildfire. It is said that a certain knight was killed and had his face taken away by a infiltrated synthetic assassin. Then the synthetic assassin pretended to be a knight and killed thirteen comrades in a row. be found.

This rumor soon caused panic in the military. Although the repeated orders from the knights above were just rumors, the blade warriors guarding the entrances at each checkpoint were hinting that a similar infiltration incident had indeed occurred.

Who knows whether the companions he spends day and night with have been silently replaced by steel monsters?

Under such intense pressure, one day in a tent, a soldier had a fierce quarrel with his comrade. As a result, he pulled out his gun and shot his comrade.

The soldier who killed his comrades without authorization was quickly subdued by the knights who arrived, and eventually became one of the hanged corpses hanging outside the camp. However, similar incidents continued to occur in other camps.

Most of them were violent expressions of tension and pressure, while a few were secretly linked together to direct their grievances and spearheads at the upper echelons of knights, dukes, and even...

emperor.

But these things have nothing to do with the Blue Sword Mercenary Group.

While others were sleeping in small, dark and damp tents, unable to fall asleep listening to the snoring and teeth grinding of their companions, the girls were sleeping comfortably on the comfortable big bed in the bedroom of the manor on Fire Island.

While others were bored to death in the camp, sitting on wooden posts holding their weapons and looking at the senior knights walking nearby with dark eyes, the girls were planting flowers and practicing martial arts on the sunny Hearth Island. , reading a book, or studying the weapons presented by the two demigods.

As a reward for assisting in the conquest of Sarmatia, Mason, the bear of the wasteland, gave a shield, which was said to be mixed with some kind of material called chaos rock. This material from the abyss is an existence between a living body and a mineral. It can automatically react when damaged by external forces.

The reward of the God of War Leopold is a short knife, which is made of blue glass material. This kind of glass is of course not ordinary glass, but is made through special forging technology to form a stress distribution of external pressure and internal tension. Its dense structure is enough to block the frontal impact of bullets, and it is very light in the hand.

These rare weapons made of special materials are indeed a powerful enough boost for the Cang Qing Sword team - after all, ordinary steel weapons are too fragile on the battlefield of hot weapons.

The shield was given to Eleanor, and the dagger was given to Mia.

"Something has been wrong with Ellie recently." Nora said worriedly, "She is training more and more fiercely, and she is learning the swordsmanship almost all the time, Aske..."

"I know." Ask replied, "Have you read her mind?"

"No." Nora looked at him angrily, as if to say, "Am I the kind of person who can pry into other people's thoughts casually?"

Then she read it, and Ask asked silently in her heart: "Aren't you?"

In any case, Nora's meaning is very clear. We must have a good talk with Eleanor, otherwise her mental state will worsen.

I walked around Hearth Island, but still couldn't find Eleanor's shadow. So the two of them teleported to the real plane and saw Sidrifa, who was responsible for preserving the ancient books today.

"Have you seen Eleanor, Sydfrifa?" Nora asked her.

Hildrifa was sharpening her battle ax - although the North Wind Ax was extremely hard and could not be sharpened, she still sharpened it on the whetstone boredly and said:

"She went to a family meeting."

Only then did the two of them remember that the Weisbach family held a family meeting at four o'clock every afternoon, and of course Eleanor, as a member of the family, had to attend.

The situation in the Principality of Bavaria has not been optimistic recently. The superior knights have reported that war weariness has generally appeared among their soldiers. A few days ago, there were several small groups who tried to sneak out of the camp and escape, but were blocked by the Fire Lord. Caught back.

The mere presence of deserters would be fine. It is said that just this morning, three knights from the Principality of Franconia led dozens of soldiers to ambush at the entrance of the emperor's camp, trying to take His Majesty's "military advice" hostage.

Although this overestimating "military remonstrance" was put down by the Blade Warrior immediately, it still greatly stimulated the emperor's suspicion:

First, the Duke of Franconia was imprisoned, and all his knights were recruited by the Blade Knights. The restless ones were even directly killed and hanged.

Secondly, a large number of secretaries organized by the Blade Warriors began to be stationed in the armies of various dukes to act as supervisors.

According to the original feudal system of the empire, the emperor, as a vassal, could not transcend his vassals and manage the armies of his vassals.

But now His Majesty the Emperor really wants to be willful, and there is nothing we can do about it. Therefore, the Weisbach family, like other big families, has begun urgent discussions on how to deal with His Majesty the Emperor's crazy moves.

The two came to the gate of Weisbach camp, intending to wait for Eleanor to come out, but they saw Eleanor at the gate, arguing with her second brother Henry.

"You don't understand!" Henry grabbed his hair irritably, "I am a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy and a reserve member of the Blade Knights! In this case, I can only stand with His Majesty!"

"Did His Majesty ask you to arrest all the knights in our family?" Eleanor was furious.

"It's not an arrest! It's just a review, review!" Henry explained impatiently, "These knights have left the camp recently! And you have seen those synthetic assassins who can disguise themselves from your father, right? You Can we ensure that these knights who leave the camp are not quietly replaced by synths?"

"I have also left the camp recently! And it was with the two demigods from Thuringia and Carinthia!" Eleanor said coldly, "Why don't you arrest me and the two demigods, respect? Lord Blade Warrior?"

"Of course you and demigods are different." Henry didn't know how to explain it, "but these knights... I can't take this risk."

"By the way!" He suddenly remembered something, "In other words, other people in your team have also gone out with you recently? Are you sure they have never left your sight?"

"Henry!" Eleanor almost jumped up, "If you dare to take action against my companions, I will never let you go!"

"I know, I know." Henry rubbed her head helplessly, just like he did to his angry sister countless times when he was a child.

However, he soon realized that the knight girl in front of him was no longer the sister who followed him around.

"Where are they being held?" Eleanor was also slightly startled, then she straightened her messed up hair and asked with a sigh.

"In the prison of the Blade Warrior." Henry turned his eyes and saw Ask and Nora walking over. "I'll take you there."
