Chapter 403: The Battle of the Gorge of the Dead (3)(1/2)
Colin looked up at Knight Thomas's cheek, feeling a little complicated. This guy can be regarded as a wise person and can be respectful to the wise and polite.
But from another perspective, this guy is a completely blind man.
Colin decided to accept this guy's recruitment and get away with it first.
Colin showed a very "real" surprise smile and said, "That's great. The Sailing Earl is one of the four Counts on the island, as dazzling as the bright moon in the sky. I have long wanted to be a knight under the Count's command."
Colin's attitude made Thomas Knight very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Don't worry. You won't regret the decision you made today."
"I'm going to get a trip to Ardennes, please come with me. When I return, I will take you directly to meet the Earl."
Knight Thomas told Colin about his destination.
Colin was shocked when he heard this, but he did not reveal any flaws. His heartbeat and blood flow were completely normal. He showed regret and said, "Your Excellency. It's really a coincidence. There is still the last part of my journey. I hope to complete this last journey and go to Sailing Harbor to visit you."
Thomas Knight frowned slightly, but accepted it. It can be seen that this Knight Hami Martin is a knight with a firm willpower.
Since he has set a journey, it will definitely be completed.
"Okay." Knight Thomas respected Colin's wishes, then took out a piece of magic paper and wrote a magic letter to Colin. He said, "After arriving at the sailboat port, I will take out this letter. If I am not here, my servant will receive you."
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Colin took the letter seriously and thanked him.
Not long after, Knight Thomas left here, at a very fast speed, astonishingly fast. Colin watched the knight leave and showed a deep look.
What an accidental and exciting encounter.
He doesn't know me. If he knows me, he will think of many things.
And I know him...
When he went to Ardennes, he must have been looking for the Void Knight. If the Void Knight fell to the Sailing Earl, it would be a huge problem.
Colin's eyes showed a solemn look, but then he was a little discouraged.
Thomas Knight is too powerful, and he cannot stop him.
"Oh. I can only look at the attitude of the Void Knight." Colin sighed slightly, then walked towards the inn ahead.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and the belly is the biggest. Let’s fill your stomach first.
................
Under the warm wind with a slightly moist atmosphere of the ocean, Thomas arrived at the center of Ardennes, the town of Ardennes.
The Arden family is also an ancient family, and knights have served the Campbell family throughout the ages. In this small town, the Arden family has been operating for many years.
The Arden family's collateral bloodlines in the town are as numerous as cows. Unless the army hits the border and razes the town to the ground, even if the rulers on the archipelago are replaced, this place will always belong to the Arden family.
However, to razor this place to the ground, powerful military power is needed. The Ardennes Knights of all generations are extremely powerful existences.
This is even more so for Irving and Ardenne of this generation. He is known as the Void Knight and is a person with great fame on this sea.
Now that the Necromancer and Alex disappeared, this Arden Knight is the well-deserved leader of the Necromancer territory.
But when Knight Thomas arrived in Ardennes, he showed a surprised expression. He did not sense too many living people in this town.
Of course there are no undead.
Although the Arden family serves the Necromancer, they are not good at Necromancer magic.
After walking a short walk along the clean and tidy streets of marble, Knight Thomas arrived at the Arden family's castle. It was an ancient castle full of mottled marks, with mossy surfaces.
It was the first time that Thomas Knight came. After a moment of admiration, he pushed open the crimson door and entered the hall.
In the spacious and simple decoration of the hall, a white chair stood. A powerful knight sat upright on the chair.
He has a national face that is rare among the nobles, a pair of big and round dark eyes, an extremely tall and strong figure, and his whole body exudes a strong aura.
This face and this figure and momentum make him powerful without being angry.
"Thomas. What did you bring?" Knight Irving looked up and looked at Thomas, a deep voice echoing in the hall.
"War." Thomas gently revealed a heavy word.
"What kind of war?" Knight Irving's voice brought a momentum like waves of the sea, and huge wind and waves rustled.
The wind blew the Thomas Knight's sleeves danced, but his face was unpredictable.
"Destroy the war that Campbell ruled here." said Thomas Knight.
"You said you would destroy the monarch of the Arden Knight." Knight Irving became more and more angry, raised his head and glared at Knight Thomas.
"So what?" asked Thomas Knights back. "The necromancers of all ages are all a group of guys with strange personalities and only know how to deal with necromancers. You hereditary knights are not close to them."
"They don't care about their knights, nor do they want to manage their own territory. They don't have the ambition to expand. This makes the entire Necromancer like a rotten dead branch, dead. Isn't it?"
Knight Irving was silent for a moment, and the wind and waves stopped. He raised his head and his black eyes lit up.
"But the Count of this generation is very good, right? She led her own army of necromancers and risked huge dangers to fight the believers of the evil gods. Without her, the territory of the necromancers would have suffered a blow."
Knight Thomas nodded slightly and affirmed Knight Owen's words. But then he also said: "His Count Alexhia is indeed very good. But it is just a meteor that flashes in the sky. After the war with the believers of the evil gods, she hid in the Dead Canyon for some reason and survived."
"According to our guess, she may die soon, and may have a terrible enemy who is coveting her. You know. Although the Campbell family is not a competent lord, it is an ancient surname. This family has many secrets. Perhaps there may be terrible enemies."
Speaking of this, Knight Thomas concluded: "All in all, the existence of this family has no meaning to you hereditary knights and the people on the archipelago."
"on the contrary."
Thomas's face showed a flying look, which was very rare. He said: "Since coming to the archipelago, every generation of sailing Counts has been working hard to manage the territory. This generation of sailing Counts is even more outstanding. As long as you help sailing, the sailing Counts will inevitably unify the South Island, and then sweep the entire archipelago and establish a kingdom."
"As long as the kingdom is established, the archipelago has the capital to fight against the pirates. The richly profitable ocean trade will bring us endless wealth."
"This is good for everyone. Isn't it?"
This time, the Knight Irving was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his voice returned to deeper and he said, "I understand. Give me ten days to think about it. If I agree, I will go to see the Count of Sailboat."
"I hope you can make the right judgment." Knight Thomas nodded, then he turned around and planned to leave, but stopped again, turned around and showed an apology, saying, "I forgot something. If the sailing ship really unified the archipelago and became the sailing king, they would each establish a smaller marquis fief in the South Island and the North Island. One is mine and the other is yours."
After saying that, Knight Thomas owed a little to Knight Irving, and then turned around and left.
In Knight Irving's black eyes, a bright light flashed. The reason why the Necromancer is disconnected from the knights under his command is because the Necromancercer and the knights have different ideas.
The knights believed more in the laws of aristocracy.
If the Sailing Earl becomes the Sailing King, and the Arden family becomes the Marquis.
The nobles and people of the entire archipelago will also benefit. The kingdom will have the capital to deal with the pirate kings and generals and fight.
This made the upright Irving Knight very moved.
As the lord, the Count of Necromancer is too incompetent.
"But it's not that easy. There are four earls on this archipelago. The other two earls are ancient and powerful families, just like the Necromancer.
"Even if you integrate the forces on the South Island, you will not easily unify the islands. The Counts will not give up their territory and authority."
Knight Owen sighed softly, then closed his eyes and began to think.
...........
Knight Thomas once again left the town along the clean and tidy streets. This time he showed a thoughtful look.
"He moved away everyone in the town."
"Irving Ardennes has already become aware of joining the war. If he does not fall to us, he will fall to the Count of the Necromancer. He will not escape."
"I hope you don't make wrong decisions. Because even if you add you, you won't win us. Since the Sailing Earl's Territory, our generation is the most powerful."
Thomas's face once again showed a flying look, and his eyes were filled with bright light.
............
One day later, Colin came outside Ardennes.
"Well? Isn't this a town with tens of thousands of people? Why doesn't there even have one person?" Colin felt it with his perception, revealing an unexpected look.
Then, he became solemn.
Although there are no living people in the town, his goal, the most powerful person in the town, is still here to stay.
The other party did not escape, but migrated all the people.
The Irving Ardennes Knights will definitely participate in the battle.
And whether I can convince Irving. Ardennes is on our side, it depends on him.
Although Colin had experienced many strong winds and waves, he was still a little nervous at this time. Not to mention the two battles, at least he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Colin touched his nose a little awkwardly, then took a step and came to the front door at a very steady speed.
The red door was open, and Colin could clearly see the man sitting on the chair with his eyes.
A momentum that was tens of millions of times heavier than the mountain peak came to his face. Colin let out a breath before he stepped in tremblingly.
He is only level 5!!!
The other party is already the top mortal.
"Who are you, boy?" Knight Irving felt Colin coming in, restrained his momentum, and looked at Colin with a gentle look.
Colin suddenly felt relieved and exhaled a long breath. Then he tidied up his clothes a little, bowed to the Irving Knight very formally and said, "I am Colin Russell."
"The source of my bloodline is Duke Russell."
