That's very badass

Chapter 163 The False Dragon Banner

North Wind Stronghold, meeting hall.

A messenger walked in straight away. He didn't pay attention to the family members around him, but when he came not far from the Duke of Osborne, he knelt down on one knee and said.

"My lord, Earl Roland has arrived. He also brought a group of nobles with complicated banners, which should be the abandoned southern nobles."

Upon hearing the news, Duke Osborne smiled immediately, "Okay, you can go down."

Seeing the orderly who had left, Duke Osborne stood up, "Let's go, let's go and meet this 'member of the Osborne family' that His Majesty called.

Aren't you always wondering who I will give the TOEFL to?The Lord has come, don't you want to go and see? "

This remark made everyone stunned for a moment, and some people even said directly: "Now I kind of believe that this guy is your illegitimate child, Eric.

When did it happen, tell me about it? "

Hearing these words suddenly, the gossip souls of everyone burned instantly.

For a moment, all eyes locked on the Duke of Osborne.

Faced with such a situation, Duke Osborne just spit out the word 'roll', and left here quickly.

He doesn't want to continue explaining things that have already been explained, it doesn't make any sense.

The family members are just a little puzzled, and at the same time, they are a little bit reluctant to let go of the younger generations of the family. They are just asking questions.

They didn't know much about Roland, so they naturally had doubts about entrusting the younger generation.

He still has some things to be sure, and only after he is sure will he explain his reasons to these people.

Only in this way, they will accept the result, otherwise Duke Osborne has no confidence to persuade them.

After all, Earl Roland is also on the list of the Rhodes family, unless he is powerful enough.

And this kind of power is exactly what the Duke of Osborne needs to prove.

"Earl Roland, you have brought [-] elite soldiers and have not received due courtesy. The Duke of Osborne does not seem to welcome us, why don't we return to the territory."

Looking at Earl Roland who was still standing there, Wilmore stepped forward with a 'wink' to put forward his opinion.

In his opinion, it is not a wise move to bet most of his wealth in the North Wind Fortress. As for the things after the orcs enter the customs, it is even more necessary to have a strong force in their hands.

As a representative of pioneering nobles, his words represent the opinions of the vast majority of them.

Roland's memory was interrupted, and he didn't have much trouble. Instead, he looked at Wilmore in front of him and said, "I know your thoughts, Wilmore, and I also know that this is the thoughts of your group."

Roland's eyes swept over the pioneering nobles one by one, until they lowered their heads, and then continued: "I know you are very disappointed with the Rhodes Kingdom.

But don't forget that you are a human being first and foremost.

Only with human beings can you have the status of nobles. It is also the responsibility of our entire noble group to protect civilians from aliens.

Perhaps the orcs frustrated here will choose to attack your territory, but you can still choose to withdraw and wait for them to complete their self-destruction.

At that time, as those of you who have contributed to the war against the orcs, you can still choose to return to the recipient prairie and open up more land there.

I believe that both me and the Duke of Osborne will definitely support such a behavior and prevent other people who try to take advantage of it from entering the orc prairie.

As for other things, I have already told you, so I don’t need to repeat them.

What's more, do you think the Rhodes family will allow you to enter without seeing the orcs?

You must know that you were regarded as hidden dangers and scourges in the kingdom, so your family was abandoned by the kingdom and expelled to the north at the same time.

Whatever our reasons for accepting you, I hope you will recognize at least one thing.

That is we all live in the North.

We also have a common name now, the nobles of the northern border. "

Roland's words completely shattered the timidity and luck in their hearts. It wasn't that they couldn't figure it out, it was just that they were a little scared out of their wits by the situation created by the Osborne family.

Of course, there may also be dissatisfaction with the Osborne family.

As helpful as they were, they didn't get the expected welcome in the aisle.

Such a gap made them a little disappointed. After all, they still couldn't let go of the family's past glory.

"Andal Knight, are your eyes uncomfortable, that's why you keep blinking?"

Roland also wondered why these pioneering nobles had strange eyes, and some even winked and blinked at him, which made his skin crawl.

Forget about others, Andal also joined in the fun, Roland wanted to beat someone up, and he forgot about entering the city.

At this moment, Roland heard applause behind him, and looked back, only to realize that it was the Duke of Osborne who had arrived, and he was accompanied by a crowd of people.

Judging from the coat of arms on them, these belonged to the Osborne family.

The Duke of Osborne nodded at Roland first, and then came to the pioneering nobles and said, "Earl Roland is right, we are all nobles in the north.

No matter what kind of help you need, I will provide it to the best of my ability, with all my strength, without any strings attached. "

"Thank you for your kindness, Duke Osborne, actually we really need help, it would be even better if we could provide some armor for our soldiers.

Although Earl Roland has been providing us with armor, but the time is too short, and most of our soldiers still wear leather armor and cotton armor.

Of course, we didn't come here to cheat for the armor. These soldiers have all experienced wars with orcs and alien races. Earl Roland can testify to this.

Last time, we also cooperated with Earl Roland to eliminate a 3000 orc wolf cavalry. "

Wilmore almost habitually started bragging, looking at the righteous master in front of him, and then honestly told the truth.

"This is a small problem. The armor stored in Beifeng Fortress is piled up like a mountain. I am still worried that the armor will not be used by soldiers. You can report as much as you need, but you can't make a false report.

How about this, Earl Roland agrees with your quantity, and I will sign directly.

Then you just need to go to the quartermaster to get it. "

As soon as the Duke of Osborne finished speaking, the pioneering nobles immediately looked at Roland. It was a little strange. They obviously remembered the rumors in the northern border.

This also made Roland frown. He didn't know why Duke Osborne did this, but he still explained their relationship.

It drew a burst of laughter from the members of the Osborn family, "Don't worry about the playfulness of these family members, because they can even shout the slogan of rebuilding the empire.

Well, let’s get to know each other again, I’m Eric Osborne, the current Duke of Osborne, and also the head of the Osborne family. "

Duke Osborne stretched out his right hand as he spoke, while also paying attention to the changes in Roland's expression.

It's just that under such heavy news, Roland didn't have any special expression, his reaction was exactly the same as that of the surrounding nobles.

Well, a look of seeing a ghost.

"Roland, the current Earl of Roland, is also the head of the Roland family."

Such words made Roland a little uncomfortable, so he simply introduced himself according to the format of Duke Osborne.

It's just that the result was not very good. Not only did he become more and more embarrassed, but even Duke Osborne was taken aback by his words.

"Is this Earl Roland reliable, why does he look like a fool?"

"Hey, I really think so when you say it."

"I feel so too."

"Fuck off, I shouldn't have brought you idiots here, and said others, look at how stupid you all are."

Duke Osborne had expected these intermittent sicknesses, but what he didn't expect was that these people didn't even care about the occasion.

There is no such "whispering" in this world, and there is nothing wrong with saying that they are idiots.

"Duke Osborne, this time I brought a full [-] elite soldiers. Most of them have experienced a lot of battles, and they can be called elites in all battles.

At the beginning, I said that I could bring you [-] elite soldiers in one year. Now that three years have passed, this figure has tripled. "

Seeing the displeasure on Roland's face, Duke Osborne sighed, "You have indeed fulfilled your promise, and I am also grateful that you were able to persuade the southern nobles to come.

The Osborn family owes you a favor. If we can withstand the attack of the orcs, then you can come to us for any problems in the future, even if it is a war against the Rhodes family.

We are well aware of what the Rhodes family has done to you and regret it.

At the same time, I also need to tell you a piece of news, that is, apart from the soldiers in the entire northern border, we no longer have any reinforcements.

Please also enter the city, we have been standing here for a long time. "

"Everyone, follow me into the city."

Hearing this, Roland also sighed, and led the army to follow Duke Osborne into the city.

Afterwards, the entire army began to enter the Northwind Fortress in an orderly manner, and they were quickly assigned to a barracks. However, Roland was invited by the Duke of Osborne and did not go with the soldiers.

Seeing everyone in the Osborn family in front of her, Vicky immediately asked for a companion.

Duke Osborne felt a little funny, and simply said: "As long as Earl Roland thinks he can trust, anyone can follow."

Looking at his companion who was eagerly looking at him, "Okay, let's all come together."

Roland knew clearly that the Osborne family had no reason to assassinate him when the orcs invaded. Now that Duke Osborne has spoken, let's satisfy their curiosity.

They headed all the way to the main building complex of the North Wind Fortress. After opening a mechanism, they entered a relatively hidden room.

In the very center of the room, hung a striking flag. When Fox saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he told Roland that it was the flag of the empire.

This made Roland a little stunned. Could it be that the Osborne family is really planning to rebuild the empire and recruit themselves into the group? Is the orc thing really just an appearance?
"I don't know what the Duke of Osborne means by bringing us here. If you want to rebuild the empire, we won't join you."

With the system, Roland has inexhaustible manpower and soldiers. He doesn't have any plans to help people rebuild the empire. If he can, he hopes to get the throne himself.

It's just that Duke Osborne didn't make any reply to Roland's words. Instead, he came to a huge iron box and took out the key to open the box.

This made the members of the Osborne family open their mouths. They are now completely sure that Roland will not be a member of the Osborne family, because the things in that box do not belong to them.

The Duke of Osborne took out a flag and came to Roland under his puzzled eyes, "This is the dragon flag of the First Empire, which was sent over when the empire was destroyed."

The word dragon flag has a special meaning to Roland. Although his system does not provide the task of finding the dragon flag, everyone who is familiar with riding and hacking will definitely remember it.

After completing the task of piecing together the Dragon Banner, you will immediately get two opposing tasks, that is to rebuild the empire or destroy the empire, there is no third option.

In the story mode, owning a dragon flag is a proof that you can stand on your own!

Roland didn't know if this was the dragon flag, he kept telling himself that it was just a coincidence.

However, thinking of the sudden rise of the First Empire and the fact that he traveled here, he somewhat believed that this was true.

After his physique had improved countless times, this was the first time he felt his heart beat faster, accompanied by shortness of breath.

Roland swallowed hard, his hands couldn't stop shaking, and he stretched them out directly.

Then he realized that it was not given to him by the Duke of Osborne, so he withdrew his hand.

The whole person also slowly calmed down.

All of these fell into the eyes of Duke Osborne, and he is still not completely sure, "Give it to you."

Roland took the dragon flag subconsciously, and after looking at Duke Osborne vigilantly for a while, he stepped aside and began to examine its uniqueness.

He first turned on the system, and what surprised him was that there was no hint of getting the item. He checked it over and over without giving up, and finally confirmed that it was a fake.

Or it wasn't the dragon flag he thought.

"I don't want this thing, it means nothing to me."

After speaking, he directly pulled out the saber at his waist, and his wife and companions also quickly pulled out their weapons when they saw this, and pointed at everyone in the Osborn family.

His agitated performance just now completely fell into their eyes. No matter what their purpose was, the most important thing now was to protect themselves.

Only by holding the sword in his hand can he feel a burst of peace of mind.

What puzzled him was that everyone in the Osborn family didn't respond to this, but he didn't have time to hesitate,

Roland stepped forward directly, holding the Duke of Osborne in his hands, and only then felt a burst of peace of mind.

What puzzled him was that, even now, the Osborne clansmen still stood where they were, without any movement, questioning, or anger.
There was even a hint of complexity in their gazes at Roland?
Roland didn't know if this was an illusion.

But he was already thinking about what to do next.
