Imperial Crown

The war between Broca and Wessassin has become the most watched event in the entire Nord province recently.

Vesasin abandoned the city and fled for his life, Broca occupied the town of Koja, and the news that he was about to occupy the entire territory of Koja also spread like wildfire.

With the governor vacant, no one can mediate this dispute, which puts the entire Xuefeng County into a state of mild tension.

Eagle Town is no exception.

Coupled with the attack a month ago, the Eagle Eye Guard's patrols have grown in scope and intensity.

As a member of the Hawkeye Guard, Julia also conducts daily patrols.

It snowed again today, and the wind blew gusts, carrying the snowflakes into her collar. After being melted by her body temperature, she became wet and cold, and iceflakes even began to form on her breastplate.

Sighing slightly, Julia thought this would be another boring patrol - although nothing was a good thing, it was really boring.

Perhaps to give her something to do, when she was patrolling to the edge of the jungle southwest of Eagle Town, she heard a woman's scream.

"Don't come here, what are you doing!?"

"——Help, help!!!!"

Julia threw away her retinue and rode on horseback. When she arrived at the scene, her pupils shrank.

I saw two men wearing muddy and dirty armors, looting supplies from a carriage. A man was lying on the ground with pools of blood underneath him. He was obviously dead. Next to him, there was a woman holding a child and kneeling. Trembling on the ground.

The two men looked like they were going crazy with hunger. They poked the grain bags on the car with their long swords, and the golden wheat flowed out. The two men didn't bother to prick their mouths. They picked up a handful and stuffed them into their mouths.

With a snap, Julia shook off the whips and shouted sternly: "Eagle Eye Guard, put down your weapons immediately and capture them without mercy!"

She was so young that the two men looked first at her face and then at her chest, both showing lewd smiles.

"Ahem..." One of the men said as he took the grain of wheat in his mouth, "What kind of guards? It's weird in your place, using bitches to maintain law and order?"

Julia's face turned cold, she snorted coldly, handed the whip to her left hand, pulled out the eagle feather sword with her right hand, clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse forward!

The two men looked at each other, separated in a tacit understanding, and stood on both sides of the carriage.

In this way, no matter who Julia wants to attack, she must take care of the existence of the carriage. The existence of the carriage also makes it easier for the two of them to hide and deal with each other; and once Julia stops, she will be besieged by the two of them.

But Julia chose the third way.

Just as the black-blooded horse rushed to the edge of the carriage, Julia folded her legs, stepped on the saddle, and flew into the air, landing firmly on the carriage.

The two men were a little surprised, but also a little disdainful.

In their opinion, although Julia's move was exquisite, it put herself in a very disadvantageous position, and she was just a fledgling in actual combat.

Almost at the same time, they handed out their swords and stabbed Julia's slightly fleshy thigh.

At this moment, Julia bent down and moved her hands together, as if there were two wills controlling the two arms respectively. The whip on her left hand curled up and tightly wrapped the arm of the man on the left, and then chopped it off. He didn't move; he swung his right hand downwards and missed the incoming sword blade with a clang.

The two men were stunned. They didn't expect this little girl to be so strong.

What’s even more unexpected is yet to come.

Julia suddenly raised her left hand, tightened the whip with a creak, and pulled the man off the ground. Then to the right, the man pushed away two bags of grain, and then his head collided with his companion's with a bang. !

"Murder, robbery, resisting arrest." Julia jumped out of the carriage and pointed her sword at the two confused people: "There is no need for a trial."

"Hawkeye Guard Julia, I sentence you to death on the spot!"

As she spoke, she was about to hand out the Eagle Feather Sword in her hand.

"Wait!!" A weak cry sounded, and the trees nearby shook.

Julia looked over there warily and saw a knight wearing enchanted armor staggering out of the jungle.

There were many scars and several holes on his armor, and pus was flowing into the snow along the soles of his feet, leaving an ugly scar on the white snow.

"You are from the Eagle Territory, right? This is the Eagle Territory! I am... Imperial Baron, Wei Saxin!" Wei Saxin swallowed: "The two of them are my personal soldiers."

The two men on the ground were struggling, as if trying to stand up.

Julia suddenly drew her sword, and the sword sharply opened the gap in the armor, pierced the neck of the person above, passed through, penetrated from the bridge of the nose of the person below, and went straight into the skull.

Both of their bodies shuddered, and then completely softened.

"You!" Weissachin was so angry that his head was spinning.

He was so exhausted trying to evade tracking along the way that he didn't even have time to treat his wounds, and his injuries kept getting worse. Only these two soldiers had followed him until now, but now they were casually killed by Julia!

"They should be sentenced to death for killing people in Eagle Town." Julia stared at Wessassin: "And you said you are Baron Wessassin, what evidence do you have?"

Wei Saxin was furious for a moment.

Nowadays, in the entire Nord province, are there many people who can afford to wear enchanted armor, but are in such a miserable state?

But this cannot be the reason.

He is so weak now that he can't even use his fighting spirit. If he died in the hands of a woman in a daze, it would be too much fun!

"...Take me to see Baron Raven, he knows me!"

At this time, Julia's retinue soldiers had also arrived.

Julia looked at Wessassin and said, "Yell him, and I will personally take him to see the Baron."

Wessassin almost fainted from anger - if he had known better, he would have surrendered to Broca. At least Broca was really a noble and would not treat another noble so harshly.

But this also had its advantages. Seeing that he was almost unsteady on his feet, the followers almost carried him away.

Slowly, Wesasin regained some strength and vaguely saw a majestic and glorious building appearing in front of him.

Am I... dead?

Is this the country of the Lord of Light?

But Julia's words ruthlessly shattered his fantasy: "Eagle Eye guarded Julia. During the patrol, I found three broken soldiers robbing the carriage. Two of them were killed by me on the spot. The remaining one called himself Wesa." Baron Xin, I can’t tell, so I came here to report to Lord Baron.”

"Please open the city gate!"

The city gate slowly opened, and Wesasin's eyes widened.

This...this is Raven's new castle! ?

He had heard about Raven's construction of a new castle and had seen the construction site, but he couldn't see it clearly at that time.

I didn’t expect that it would be so majestic after it was completed!

If this castle was in my hands, how could it be crumbled by just 6 trebuchets? ?

Being taken all the way to Eagle City, Wessassin was almost dazzled. When he sat on the magic elevator, he gradually accepted the reality.

From a long distance away, Wessassin heard Raven's voice: "Hey, what did you do? Baron Wessasin is an old friend of mine. Untie his shackles!"

After a few clanging sounds, Wesasin looked down at the shackles on the ground, then looked up and saw Raven getting closer and closer, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

Then he fell to the ground with a thud and fell unconscious.

Raven's prepared words were of no use, and he looked at Wessassin on the ground: "Go and call the priest."

Since Lux left, the Eagle Town church has been empty. Since then, there has been only one priest in Raven's territory, and that is the third-level magician Herinder in Xuefeng Town.

He is a priest who fits people's stereotype very well. He looks to be in his thirties, of medium build, clean shaven, wearing a white-brimmed round hat, black priest robes, and a silver ∞ badge hanging on his chest. This Book of Sacred Words never leaves you.

Raven had risen rapidly and was well-liked by Archbishop Thomas. Herlind had always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Raven, so he rushed over as soon as he heard Raven's invitation.

After diagnosing and treating Wesasin and casting two more magical spells, Herinder wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Basically there is no problem. The injury on Baron Wessasin is not fatal, it is just infested by toxins." , I haven’t been able to get any rest recently, so I was overtired and excited to see you, so I fainted.”

"Now the toxins have been removed, and the wound infection has almost been treated..."

Before he finished speaking, Wesasin opened his mouth and moaned: "Water..."

"As expected of a third-level knight, he can wake up so quickly." Herinder was not very surprised: "He hasn't eaten for a long time. Logically speaking, he shouldn't eat too much, but the third-level knight has a strong physique, so he It’s okay to be full.”

Raven smiled and said: "Priest Lauchlinde is here."

"Where, it is my honor to work for you." Herinder put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "I also hope that one day, I can serve you as a bishop."

The Bishop of the Church of Light is usually responsible for the parish management of a county, and is only one level lower than Archbishop Thomas.

The original bishop of Xuefeng County went to Mansa County with Viscount John, and the position of the bishop here was vacated.

Nowadays, Raven's territory is developing rapidly. As long as Raven shows a positive attitude towards the Church of Light, Herinder may not have no chance of promotion.

Raven heard Herinder's intention and did not refuse: "I will work hard to let Priest Herinder get what he wants as soon as possible."

After sending Herinder away, Raven ordered someone to bring some water and bring it to Wesasin.

Smelling the aroma of toasted soft bread, Wessassin almost jumped out of bed, grabbed the bread on the plate without grace, kneaded it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it.

The sweet aroma of the bread melted in his mouth, and Vesassin's tears flowed out immediately.

It’s considered hot food!

After escaping from the battlefield, Wessassin gathered 6 broken soldiers, but as he walked, 3 of them ran away quietly, and 1 wanted to cut off his head and send it to Broca for credit, but he was Execution by hand.

From that day on, he never dared to close his eyes again.

The lack of rest and the cold weather caused his health to deteriorate rapidly, and in order to avoid being discovered, he did not even dare to approach the village.

What I drank was ice-cold blood water, and as for food - I only found a dead, frozen deer five days ago.

After eating two bites of venison, I had diarrhea for three days.

In the past five days, Wesasin had not eaten anything, otherwise he would not have been reduced to letting his men grab food.

He ate too hard and the bread got stuck in his throat. Wesasin couldn't bear to spit it out, so he choked and rolled his eyes.

The person next to him quickly handed over the milk, and he drank it in big gulps before washing down the bread.

This meal was simply the most delicious meal Wesasin had ever eaten.

A dignified baron, his clothes were stained with milk spots and bread crumbs, and he would twitch his fingers when he was drunk.

Wave~

The thumb was pulled out of his lips with a crisp sound, and Visacine burped again, slumped down on the bed, and felt that he was finally alive.

"How is it, Baron Visacine, are you feeling better?" Raven's concerned voice came.

Visacine's throat moved, and he slowly turned his head and saw Raven. Suddenly, he propped up the bed with his elbow, turned over, and knelt in front of Raven with a thud.

This action was completely beyond Raven's expectations. He hurried forward to help him, but Visacine was a third-level knight after all. After kneeling so seriously, Raven couldn't pull him up without real skills.

Raven said in a negotiating tone: "Baron Visassin, it's not in accordance with etiquette. We are both barons. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly."

"Baron Raven..." Visassin's nose was sour and his voice was a little trembling: "... Please save me!!!"

"It's gone, it's all gone. The hundreds of years of family business of the Korvoga family is all gone!! "

"Please, save me, save me..."

If you say that Visassin was still acting at the beginning, but when he said this, he really couldn't help it. Tears flowed like money and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

He was a baron, and he had been pampered all his life. Even after experiencing the battle with the Death Hand Cult, he never thought he would be in any danger.

But now, he lost the war, his territory was occupied, and he was wandering and destitute. He almost died on the roadside like a wild dog.

Now he finally came to the Eagle Territory and met Raven, who kindly took him in. This experience of escaping death completely broke his tense nerves. How could he not cry?

When he almost cried, Raven said: "Get up, Baron Wesassin, you are just too tired now, take a good rest for a few days, and then we will talk again."

"No..." Wesassin sniffed, wiped the tears on his face, crawled on his knees and grabbed Raven's trouser legs: "Baron Wesassin, County Governor Wesassin, please save me, otherwise, I will kneel here and die, and I will never get up!"

Coming to the Eagle Territory was the last decision Wesassin made when he was sober, because looking at the entire Snow Maple County, only the newly rising Raven had a chance to compete with Bloka.

Raven pulled his pants but didn't move, so he had to let him go, feeling a bit amused and helpless: "Baron Visassin, you asked me to save you, you have to tell me how to save you?"

Visassin breathed a sigh of relief: "... I hope you can summon Viscount Bloka as the county governor and ask him to withdraw from my territory."

"This..." Raven hesitated slightly.

This look made Visassin's heart settle down a little.

Bloka's behavior was too rampant, simply crazy. If Raven agreed at this time, Visassin would be nervous.

Visassin sobbed and said: "Baron Raven, I know this is forcing people, but I really have no other choice!"

Indeed, according to the imperial law, it is illegal to attack other noble territories without authorization, and the punishment is either a fine or a loss of title.

But the problem is that Bloka's two tough statements have a lot of rationality, and Visassin took the lead in killing many of Bloka's soldiers in a moment of impulse, which can indeed be regarded as a provocation.

Even if the case is reported to the Council of Nobles, the two families may not be able to get a result without more than ten years of accusations against each other.

And these ten years are enough for Bloka to establish a stable rule in Koga Territory and train Versacem's children into puppets. At that time, there may really be a drama of "taking the thief as the father".

Thinking of this, Versacem gritted his teeth: "Your Eagle Territory was also divided, you should know how cruel this situation is!"

"If you are willing to help me, then I, Versacem, am willing to swear on my own soul and the soul of my ancestors that I will never betray you!"

This is already a very heavy oath for the nobles. Raven thought for a while and decided to agree:

"Baron Versacem, you get up first."

But Versacem misunderstood.

This is the rhythm of not intending to agree to him!

In a different position, even if he is Raven, being begged by a person who has no relationship with him at ordinary times, and asking him to fight against the only viscount in the county, no one can agree to such a request!

That is to say, Baron Raven is kind-hearted and fair. If it were Visacim himself, even if he didn't hand the person over to Brocka, he would beat him out with a stick to avoid Viscount Brocka's misunderstanding.

Yes, it must have happened before Baron Raven still had a grudge.

Visacim suddenly felt a little regretful. There was no essential difference between his bullying of Lady Doreen's orphan and widow, and Brocka's invasion of his territory now. They were both bullying the weak.

If he hadn't had a conflict with Baron Raven, with Raven's spirit full of knightly glory, he would definitely help him without hesitation!

"Baron Raven, I know I was wrong. I always thought that the principles of the nobility were just a doormat. Now I know that if I don't lend a hand to others, I have no right to ask for help from others!"

Wesasi put his forehead on the ground, his voice pious and regretful: "Although my treasury has fallen into the hands of Bloka, if you can help me get the territory this time, then the vast plains of Koja Territory will become your horse farm, and I will give you 200 war horses every year as atonement!"

"In addition, my territory can also be divided..."

Hearing this, Raven quickly squatted down and grabbed Wesasi's shoulders, fearing that he would say something outrageous again: "Okay, I can take the warhorse, but don't mention the territory again."

For Raven, the warhorse is a good thing, but the territory is quite tasteless.

After all, the two territories are far apart, and no one can manage a small enclave, and it can't generate much profit.

And Raven gradually figured out Wesasi's psychology.

Wesasi suffered a sudden change this time, and his mind was shocked, and the whole person was in a very irrational state.

It's nothing to ask him for some warhorses at this time. If you really take advantage of the fire to take a piece of his territory, when he comes to his senses in the future, then the friendship will become a deadly enemy.

Versacine raised his head with hope in his eyes: "So, you are going to help me?"

"Of course, as the county governor, this kind of thing is my duty." Raven smiled and nodded: "You take a good rest first, I will write a letter to Viscount Broca and invite him to meet me."

Versacine stood up, but did not rest, but looked straight at Raven.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, Raven ordered someone to bring paper and pen, and wrote the letter on the spot. Versacine read the content, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person suddenly became depressed.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Raven could hear Versacine's thunderous snoring.

The door closed gently, covering up the deafening snoring, and Raven turned to look at Julia: "You handled this matter today very well, go to old Gordon to get a reward, and then take two days off and have a good rest."

"Yes, Baron!" Julia saluted respectfully and turned to leave.

Although she likes to go to work, Julia also enjoys vacation.

After receiving her bounty, she left Eagle City humming a song, bought a string of candied haws on the roadside, and ate it while slowly heading home.

Candied haws are really delicious, but it's a pity that spring is coming and she won't be able to see this good thing for more than half a year.

So Julia ate very slowly, and only threw the licked wooden stick into the trash can when she got to the door of her house.

"Huh..."

After closing the door and locking it, Julia, who was slightly sweaty, breathed a sigh of relief.

She wrinkled her nose, she hated this sticky feeling.

Standing in front of Angel's Glory, looking at the lovely person in the mirror, Julia pouted slightly and began to take off her armor one by one until the last breastplate.

This was her happiest and most painful moment every day.

Her onion-like fingers kept groping behind her back, and it took a long time for Julia to find the short rope on the rope, and she pulled it hard, and the breastplate popped out immediately.

Julia put her breastplate in place, and then confirmed that all the locks on the door were locked.

Then she began to take off her shirt.

Only after all the clothes were removed did Julia focus her eyes on the white bands on her chest.

Carefully peeled off the bands layer by layer, like peeling an onion, until they finally fell off.

Two huge rabbits suddenly jumped out of the cage.

Julia exhaled again, she had to worry about her figure every day.

After doing all this, Julia seemed to have drained every inch of her strength from her body, lying comfortably on her bed, smelling the faint fragrance coming from above, and couldn't help but fall into a daze.

This bottle of Angel's Kiss perfume was given to her by Lord Raven himself when she became an Eagle Eye Guard.

For some reason, the ceiling above her head began to distort and deform, and gradually gathered into the appearance of Baron Raven.

He always seemed to have a faint smile on his face, strolling leisurely and confidently.

It was very different from the image in the rumors.

When can I see Baron Raven again?

Julia's mind popped up this question for no reason, and then her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and her cheeks began to heat up. The shame of a woman made her feel that she was a little slutty. She was only 16 years old, but she was thinking about men day and night!

She quickly hid herself in the quilt and covered her head.

After a long time, after calming down, she secretly poked her head out of the quilt and ran to the bathroom in the room.
