Chapter 303 Lana
The army assembled, and David roughly understood that the army going south this time included 400 knights from the Knights of Tiran, 100 knights from the Knights of the Guards, 1,000 fully equipped elite soldiers, and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers.
This is the main force of the Kingdom of Tilan, and it only obeys the orders of His Majesty King Abelson.
In addition, it is not easy to count the specific arms of the coalition brought by many lords. There are knights, cavalry, fully equipped infantry and ordinary infantry with only weapons.
There are also auxiliary soldiers, but it is really difficult to distinguish the soldiers under the lord from the auxiliary soldiers. It can only be roughly determined that the number of the lord's coalition army is close to 4,000.
Only in terms of quantity, the number of the lord's coalition army is about the same as the main army assembled in the capital, but if it is really going to war with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, the main force will still be the four hundred knights of the Tiran Knights.
"David..."
Riding in the group, David looked like many of the surrounding lords, with three or five cronies, and followed His Majesty to the south.
Even though the armor on David's body is very gorgeous, the shoulders still exude a soft golden halo, and there is an elf beside him, but everyone is still too lazy to pay too much attention to him, and they are all on their way. Say a few words to your confidant.
"His Majesty the King..."
"Shh~"
David raised his fingers and made an unspoken gesture, then nodded to Cirvanas, expressing that he knew what was going on.
After seeing this, Cirvanas retracted her words, and continued quietly pretending to be a guard.
It turned out that after walking together for a while, Cirvanas keenly sensed that there was something wrong with His Majesty King Abelson in front of him. Although there seemed to be no problem on the surface, some auras were still a bit weird, which aroused Cirvanas Attention the Ranger General.
As a hunter, tracking ability is what he is good at, and how to identify the correct target is naturally a must-have ability.
Although he couldn't see any flaws, Cirvanas still sensed something was wrong.
As for David, he also found a problem. After all, he is also a hunter, the increase in strength has greatly improved his perception ability, he even noticed the abnormality earlier than Cirvanas.
This is not to say that David is better than Cirvanas in terms of hunter ability and talent, the key is that Cirvanas has never met Abelson before, and only had the opportunity to meet the king when he was traveling together these few days .
In comparison, David often chatted and even ate with His Majesty the King during this time. He had met more times, so he was naturally familiar with him.
So, when Abelson in front was replaced by a substitute, David noticed it immediately.
"I don't know if the real His Majesty the King rushed directly to Baiyan City, or mixed in with the army?"
David didn't know, but after traveling south for several days, and when he didn't see His Majesty the King coming out for activities at night, David guessed that Abelson might have secretly left the large army.
"What can I do if I go to White Rock City in advance?"
"I don't know, inquire about the news? Appease Marquis Otto? Or maybe you want to quickly find out what the purpose of the Holy Gunter Kingdom is?"
David chatted casually with Sylvanas, Laura, and Jaina during the break. Their small circle is very conspicuous at night, because the Quinjet fighter plane is parked next to it, and it will attract the curiosity of other lords and knights from time to time. look.
Several people didn't pay attention to these gazes, and continued to discuss whether they should also go south in advance?
With Kun-type fighters, they can reach Baiyan City quickly. If they follow the large army, the speed is too slow.
"What are you doing so early?" David was not in a hurry, he felt that it would be better to walk slowly: "Winter Knights will not enter the battlefield early, even if a war breaks out with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, the army brought by these lords will be relied on in the early stage , the next stage is the performance stage of the Knights of Tiran, and it is not our turn to play."
It’s too early, should the Winter Knight drive away the Holy Gaunt Kingdom in advance? If he did that, not only would Abelson not be grateful to him, he might even blame David for sabotaging his plan.
After all, Abelson didn't even hint at David, it was simply expressly expressing that David should not participate in the battle early.
"Just take it as an outing."
There are so many people accompanying them on an outing, what a grandeur, ordinary people can't enjoy this kind of ostentation!
David's mentality is very good, the whole process is to watch the excitement, especially after he finds that many lords reject him, this mentality of watching other people's excitement is even more sufficient.
He can understand that these lords 'repel' him. After all, he has almost become the son-in-law of His Majesty the king. The lords and David really have nothing in common to talk about. If they talk too much, they may be feared by the king. No contact is the best OK
Now, no one can stop David's heart to watch the excitement.
Continuing on the road, the army traveled for many days, and finally arrived at Baiyan City, the southern important town of the Kingdom of Tilan.
When Baiyan City, whose entire city walls were snow-white, appeared in sight, David also felt a little 'shocked'.
"Wow!"
It’s not that White Rock City is so majestic and majestic, but that this pure white city has very distinctive features. The city and various buildings are completely made of local specialty white rock mixed with other materials, plus a little bit and Tilan Kingdom. Most areas have slightly different architectural styles, making White Rock City unique.
The army did not enter the city, but still camped in the open space outside the city.
The lords began to arrange various matters, and David was summoned alone. Together with several important ministers who came with the army, he entered the city with His Majesty the King. Even the people around David did not have to stay outside the city. The difference with other lords.
David didn't care about the "envy, jealousy and hatred" that bet on him, and rode a horse and followed His Majesty the King into White Rock City comfortably.
Came to the lord's castle in White Rock City, and David was not surprised to see another His Majesty 'Abelson' here.
The king who was in front had disappeared at some point, but no one was surprised by this situation. It was obvious that everyone here knew that His Majesty the King had left the brigade first.
"David-Earl Glamorgan, just let your fighter planes land in the open space over there."
A vacant space was specially cleared inside the main gate of the castle. It should be that Abelson ordered someone to clear it out for David. This order also made other people pay more attention to this young and extremely fast earl.
The soldiers in White Rock City were curious, not only curious about David, but also curious about the few Kun-style fighters that were slowly landing.
If His Majesty the King hadn't greeted them in advance, they would have launched an attack on the monster that had been hovering in the sky for a long time.
As the Quin-jet fighter plane landed steadily, Princess Sophia ran out of the fighter plane and embraced the young woman standing next to Abelson warmly. Only then did David confirm that the woman who looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old was indeed Sophia's. Sister, that is, Abelson's eldest daughter, Lana Tilan.
Now, she is also the wife of Marquis Otto of White Rock City.
David quickly checked around, but he didn't see any man who looked like Marquis Otto.
Soon, his questions were answered. On behalf of her husband, Lana welcomed the noble officials from the capital, and explained the reason why her husband did not show up.
"The Marquis of Pryor-Otto has been unwell recently, and it is difficult to see guests. I have to represent him to welcome His Majesty the King and you."
After a brief chat, everyone dispersed to do their own things: survey the surrounding environment, observe the weather conditions, formulate various combat plans and records, and even formulate possible retreat and escape plans.
David and Sutton were left together and got to know Lana Tillane well.
"This is the Earl of David Glamorgan, Sophia's fiancé." The lord of Winter City in the northern plain has already been introduced in advance, and with the previous forced population relocation order of the Kingdom of Tilan, people all over the country Know where Winter City is.
As Abelson's daughter, Lana naturally understands more details.
Compared to the simple greeting before, Lana looked David up and down seriously at this time: "A very outstanding young man, and Sophia is a good match."
As for the female elves, female mages, and female archaeologists who followed her, Lana directly ignored them.
Perhaps in the heart of this princess, as long as David, the young earl, has no problem with his mind, he knows how to choose.
A simple 'family dinner' ended soon.
Lana arranged a separate residence for David and his men. It was a manor not far from the castle. It originally belonged to a noble official of White Rock City. Not long ago, this man was executed for a felony. David lives in this group.
Earl Sutton-Stewart and his cronies are also arranged here. As for other important ministers and nobles, they live directly in the barracks and do not have this special treatment.
"I don't know why, but I think Sophia's sister is a bit weird." After arriving at the residence and making sure there were no outsiders, Cirvanas frowned and said what she found: "I always feel that there seems to be something in her body." A strange force."
"I also have this feeling, but if there is nothing, I even suspected it was an illusion." Jaina had the same opinion, but because she only glanced at it a few times, she was not sure whether her judgment was accurate.
In the end, everyone turned their attention to David. David had been in contact with the Marquise for the longest time and was also close. He should be able to make a more accurate judgment.
"Your feeling is correct. The fluctuation on Lana's body should be the power of a certain **** in the temple."
