Knight with Wand

The heavy drawbridge door on the east side slowly lowered, and the heavy wooden planks banged, raising dust and pressing on the spike trench, paving the way for the reinforcements to enter Longka.

Led by Azerien and four other riders in the front, the army held high the thorn flower battle flag and stepped densely across the drawbridge of the east gate.

The sixty-something troops in the front were naturally the conscripted soldiers from the people of Selva.

And the fifty infantry troops in the back, with a four-grid pattern robe on their chests, were neatly dressed and all wore nose-protecting steel helmets. Under the cuffs of the robes, it can be seen that they were wearing chain mail, and each of them had complete hand armor and shin armor, carrying a long-handled sword or halberd.

Among them, ten people fell behind, each holding an iron chain and leading a huge war dog.

Although the ten fierce and loyal giant dogs were muzzled, the civilians who were pulling the baggage were still trembling with fear and kept a considerable distance from the terrible war beasts, fearing that they would get close to the terrible Duwana war dogs.

".Leon!" Azerien left the team with several knights and cavalrymen who came to help, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards his companions.

"Thank you for your hard work, Azerien." Leon stepped forward and gave his companions a hug, patted each other's back armor, and then turned his head and looked at the four people beside him.

The handsome and capable middle-aged man wearing gorgeous plate armor and a neatly combed big back hair was obviously a noble knight. The other three were also fully armored and should be the accompanying knights.

"Excuse me, who is this sir?" Leon asked.

Azerien raised his hand and introduced with a smile: "This is Sir Perrin, Lady Adelina's guardian knight, who was recently transferred to Selva by the lady."

"Ledo Perrin, it's an honor to meet you, Lord Pendragon."

Knight Ledo looked at the young man in front of him, respectfully held his chest and bowed his head, and bowed with sincere gratitude: "Thank you for saving the lady, I will remember this favor in my heart. This time, I am here with the order of Lady Adelina to help you defend the territory. You are at my disposal."

Madam's guardian knight?

Leon really didn't know the concept of this identity.

However, Lady Adelina really gave him a big surprise.

I really don't know where Knight Ledo and his team of soldiers were transferred from. They looked different from the army of Farolis City, but these well-equipped soldiers were obviously not temporary militiamen, but undoubtedly elite standing soldiers who could serve as the main force.

With their long-term presence, the safety of Longka was directly improved to a higher level.

"Thank you for coming all the way here. I dare not tell you the mission, but I will rely on your help from now on." Leon thanked politely.

"Please rest assured, I will do my best." Redo made a promise, then turned around and introduced a young man behind him: "This brave young man who volunteered to come to Longca is not my squire, but he has the permission of Lord Elliver and also hopes to come here to repay your kindness."

Leon looked at the young squire in confusion, and then remembered his face.

Isn't this the knight squire who was stripped naked by the thieves that night and was almost framed by the conspiracy to rape and murder the baroness?

"My name is 'Filippo Anquila', Lord Pendragon."

Filippo pounded his breastplate hard and swore excitedly.

"You have protected the honor of me and my family, and I cannot repay you enough. In the name of Anquila and Farolis, I will fight to the death for you and your territory."

I didn't expect that the young man of the Anquila family was such a person of temperament. Leon also patted his shoulder gratefully to encourage him.

At this time, even one more person means more combat power, not to mention that the other party is a long-trained heavy cavalry capable of fighting in armor.

Leon led the reinforcements and baggage team to camp in Longcane, and took Azerien back to the village house. After careful inquiry, he learned the identity of this unexpected powerful reinforcement.

The Knight of Redo, although now also loyal to Baron Farolis and a vassal granted a fief, he is not a native of "Gray Fir Valley Territory".

But like the Baroness, he is from "Great West Territory" in the west of the kingdom.

The other party was originally from Duwana County, under the command of the Rahman family, the eldest son of a baron, and still enjoys a considerable fief in Duwana County.

But when he was young, he fell in love with the daughter of Count Duvarna, Adelina, and swore allegiance to her, becoming a "sworn guardian knight" who swore to protect her for life.

When Count Duvarna's daughter got married, he really kept his oath and gave up his inheritance of the baron's throne. He followed Adelina with an army and a lot of property. To some extent, as part of the various rich "dowries" of the Count's daughter, he came to Farolis together and swore allegiance to Adelina's husband, Baron Thorn Flower.

Listening to Azerien's explanation, as a traditional Chinese, Leon, whose worldview was severely impacted, was so confused that his mind was about to be tangled.

He even suspected that he had heard something wrong.

The middle-aged handsome knight was deeply in love with Baron Elliver's wife

This was not even a shameful secret.

It was a good story that was made public and praised by Baron Elliver.

Of course, as far as the oath is concerned, this guardian knight naturally did not have any irregular physical relationship or intimate contact with Adelina.

Apart from occasionally accompanying her, guarding her safety, and obeying her orders, from beginning to end, Sir Redo's love for Adelina was what Azerien called "knight's love".

That is spiritual love.

According to Azerien's gossip, the reason for this situation is not that Knight Leido is born Plato.

It's just that when he was young, he expressed his love to Adelina, but was rejected. He didn't want to be too entangled with the other party and cause trouble, so he changed to a way that can be recognized by the public, hoping to protect the person he loves for life.

According to the culture of this world, it is a romantic knight story.

In addition, Knight Leido has already married and had children in the fiefdom in the north of Farolis, and has his own family.

I don't know if Lord Leido's legitimate wife thinks this is a good story, but since they are married, she must have forgiven him before marriage.

Putting aside the gossip of the nobles, this army is naturally Knight Leido. Or, it is Lady Adelina's private guard.

They have been stationed in the area north of the Thorn Flower Family's territory, but recently, they were transferred to the south to protect Adelina.

After listening to his partner's explanation, Leon rubbed his head helplessly.

It was the first time that he felt such an obvious cultural shock.

After all, the original owner was just a hunter boy, and his head was mostly filled with memories of the city and the countryside, so how could he understand the culture of knights and the aristocracy.

To be honest, with his deep-rooted oriental traditional concepts, this special knight culture of the Feru people was really weird.

Although his wife was so popular and admired by others, it was something to be proud of to some extent.

But if the man who loved his partner was around his wife every day

i didn't get it, i was just in awe.

Leon's expression was like a certain director named Li, shaking his head repeatedly, thinking: I don't understand, but I was shocked.

Even if the other party was strict with himself, fulfilled his duties, abided by his oath, and did not overstep the line, it was still disgusting to think about it.

This was true for both parties. One side was the god-level Feiyangyang, and the other side was really too open-minded.

However, as an outsider, I was not qualified to comment on the cultural customs of the locals.

Without continuing to offend Sir Redo who came to help, Leon changed the topic and asked about the situation in Selva and other places.

At present, according to the distribution of the Thorn Flower Family's troops that he knew, Baron Elliver, who marched south to Cantadar, took away most of the troops and pulled away a full 4,000 people.

At present, there are only 300 standing troops stationed in Farolis City, which is not a large number and will not be easily mobilized, but if the main city is really attacked, Elliver's eldest son who stayed behind can immediately summon the conscripted militia from the huge population of citizens in the city to assist in defending the city.

There is no need to worry too much about the safety of the main city, especially the tall and solid castle inside. It is impossible to fall in a short time without a regular army more than ten times the size.

In addition to Farolis City, the remaining troops of the family are currently gathered in three places.

They are "Wachter Castle" where Knight Marcelo is stationed, with 200 soldiers.

East of Selva, there are 100 soldiers in the baggage transit camp.

And, here in Lonka, he had put together a force that he had urgently raised by overdrawing the territory's manpower.

Counting his own commanders and the reinforcements sent by Lady Adelina, the number of people who could fight was about 250.

Leon measured the strength in his hands.

A total of 180 infantrymen were recruited from the three territories, and they were roughly divided into three equal infantry squads based on their hometowns.

The Pletton and Lonka phalanxes were composed of pure spearmen.

The Selva phalanx was a special infantry phalanx with a 2:1 ratio of spears and thorn hammers.

Only this squad had undergone the short and special cavalry tactics training that Old Brian had received some time ago.

This unit also had the highest morale among the three places. After all, after receiving the ransom, the residents of Selva had all become wealthy families.

However, now that the elite troops of Knight Redo have joined, the task of fighting against the possible cavalry troops in the future can still be handed over to them.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The number of other types of troops in Longka's army was pitifully small.

Not counting the six of his own personal heavy infantry guards, there were only twenty archers.

As for the cavalry, even if we count the four riders who were temporarily picked from the rich families in Pletton and put on the remaining armor in the warehouse to make up the number, as well as himself, Corvis and others, and the new reinforcements.

There were only a dozen cavalrymen in Longka.

The good news was that they were all heavy cavalrymen wearing heavy armor.

The bad news was that considering the command needs during combat, the number of cavalrymen who could form a formation and charge at any time had to be slightly discounted.

Who said that the south was the real battlefield of the Farolis family? The two hundred heavy cavalrymen under Baron Elliver all crossed the Nightmare Forest and were transferred to the southern battlefield, and had no time to take care of the current conflict.

Later, Leon summoned everyone and held a military meeting with his helpers.

After getting a group of additional elite troops, Old Brian looked much more relaxed. He and Knight Redo made some adjustments to the original tactical process.

Ten people expressed their opinions on the topographic map they had drawn after reconnaissance during this period, and the meeting lasted until the sky darkened.

After the military meeting, Leon had wine and meat served, and everyone had a simple welcome banquet for Sir Redo and his party.

The alcohol content of ordinary alcohol in this era is too low, and everyone grew up drinking alcohol as if it were water, so they didn't worry about getting drunk.

After just warming up their bodies, everyone dispersed and went back to rest.

After washing up, and finally finding some free time before going to bed, Leon did not forget to go to Corvis's room to see the griffon cub that happened to be born at this stall.

Pushing open the door, he saw the blond boy lying on his side on the bed, supporting his head with one hand, and gently stroking the "little fat chirp" who curled up and slept peacefully like a cat.

The egg liquid on the little guy's body when it broke out of its shell has long been cleaned up by Corvis' magic. The little griffon is not as ugly as a fledgling. The newborn griffon cub comes with soft and warm down. Look It looks very cute.

When Corvis saw his master coming in, he quickly raised his finger to his lips and whispered to silence: "Shh~ my master, speak softly."

"Oh, sorry." Leon smiled awkwardly and tiptoed to the edge of the bed.

The little gryphon seemed to have heard the movement, but it just curled up in the arms of the blond boy and dug its head inwards.

"It has just eaten and just fell asleep. Don't wake it up, otherwise it will wake up with that voice and everyone in the house will stop sleeping tonight." Covis said with a wry smile when he saw Leon reaching out to touch it.

"Tsk, okay,"

Leon regretfully retracted his hand that tried to rub the little fat girl.

Anyway, as long as the death claw of its father or mother doesn't come around, there will be many opportunities to rub this little guy.

After saying good night to Corvis silently, Leon exited the boy's room.

Walking through the house next to Corvis, Sir Ledo has been arranged to stay there.

Leon already knew that he was teased by his little mage that day.

There are clearly vacancies on the second floor of this big house, but there are not enough rooms.

but

Now there is really no room.

The corners of his mouth curved, and Leon came to Olivia's bedroom door with wind on his feet.

He coughed slightly to alert the girl in the room, raised his hand and turned the doorknob.

Sure enough, it wasn't locked.

Just like every night for the past two days, I kept the door open for myself.

Pushing open the door with a calm expression, Leon saw Olivia lying on the back side of the bed, her brows twitching slightly.

Aha~

Pretending to sleep?

We've been sleeping together for two days, haven't you gotten used to it yet?

Holding back laughter at the girl's cute look, Leon took off his coat, sat on the edge of the bed and unhooked his boots, turned around, lifted up the quilt, and got in.

The bed was already slightly warmed by the girl's body temperature.

Just leaning sideways, resting his head on his arms, staring at the beautiful girl close at hand with trembling eyelashes with a smile, Leon's eyes were filled with deep love.

Feeling the breath next to her and the fiery eyes, Olivia's cheeks turned red, and she could no longer pretend anymore.

The girl shrank down, half of her face was hidden under the quilt, only her eyes were exposed and she complained softly: "Oh~ stop looking, turn off the lights and go to sleep."

"If you don't see enough, you won't be enough in a lifetime." Leon said with a smile.

He leaned over and kissed Olivia on the forehead. Then he turned around with satisfaction, raised his hand and flicked his fingers at the candlestick on the table not far away.

The subtle flow of magic power swept the wind and blew out the candle flame immediately.

The room fell into darkness and Leon closed his eyes.

I closed my eyes peacefully and tried to fall asleep. My breathing gradually became even. After a while,

Suddenly, he felt the back of his hand being touched lightly by Olivia's fingers.

Leon didn't hesitate, opened his palm directly, and took the soft and slender hand into his palm without any ceremony.

"!"

"~" Leon raised the corners of his mouth.

When her hand was caught, the girl only shook it symbolically, not even resisting, but obediently held the other person's hand.

But then, Olivia felt that her fingers were spread open by Leon's fingers, and their fingers were intertwined, and their palms finally touched each other intimately.

Opening her eyes shyly, Olivia turned her head.

In the dark room, she looked at Leon's hazy profile. While sweet, she couldn't help but feel uncontrollable worry.

Perhaps because they couldn't see each other clearly in the dark room, the girl's shyness was relieved a lot.

She held Leon's hand behind her back, couldn't help but move closer to her body, lowered her head, and rested her forehead on the other person's shoulder lovingly.

"Leon."

"Um."

"You will be fine, right?"

Leon, who had his eyes closed, raised his eyebrows in confusion, sensing the worry about him in the girl's voice.

Too.

The assembled troops brought the tense atmosphere in Roncane to its peak. This was the first time Olivia truly faced the coming war. Not to mention the girl in front of her, everyone tightened their heartstrings.

"Don't be afraid. All the preparations we have made these days are to take precautions before they happen. The battle may not happen, or it may not happen in Lonka."

Leon tightened his palms and comforted the girl: "Archesburg in the south is defenseless. As long as it lasts these two months and ensures the security of the rear territory, and the Baron makes a surprise attack and seizes the city, he can spare some of his troops. When they come back, especially the Thorn Flower family's powerful heavy cavalry, they won't be afraid of Gunnar's attack.

At that time, we will show off everything about the Nightmare Forest to the nobles. The great lords above, especially Count Trossa, and even the king as far away as the royal capital, will not allow the fighting to continue on the forest border. "

Leon explained to Olivia softly, tilted his cheek, and rubbed the girl's hair lustfully.

"I'm just" Olivia turned around, put her right hand on Leon's shoulder, and instinctively moved closer to feel the other person's real presence.

"I dreamed that you were injured, and even dreamed of Selva's tragic situation." The girl's voice became sad, and her right hand unconsciously grasped the clothes on the other person's shoulders: "I am too weak. This is not a fight alone. If it is like I faced the same siege from too many knights and soldiers back then. I'm afraid I can't protect you at all.

I can't imagine losing you."

Listening to Olivia's confiding voice, Leon's back felt like an electric current, and an indescribable feeling of happiness rushed straight to his forehead, revealing this weak and extremely warm heart to the other person.

He stretched his left hand to his side and covered the back of the girl's hand that was tense as if she was afraid of losing him.

"I will be fine. Don't underestimate me. Back then, I was only with Azerion and Rohak. I was so embarrassed and could overcome all the difficulties and dangers to come to you.

Now that you are by my side, with your current martial arts skills, your own army, and the support of your allies, what does this small scene mean? In the future, I will command thousands of troops to fight back to my hometown.

Besides, we also have reinforcements. If we really can't defeat them, we can retreat. We don't have to stay in Longka and fight the enemy to death.

Besides, have you forgotten that your fiancé is a knight of the flag of the Thorn Flower family? "Leon boasted pretentiously.

He whispered into the girl's ear with a weird voice: "Even if I am defeated accidentally, as long as I don't die on the battlefield, the enemy will not take my life easily and will save me. My life is very valuable." , that guy Mamel is worth a thousand gold, I am worth at least two thousand gold.

At that time, you can't just ignore me just because we haven't consummated our marriage yet. You must pay enough ransom to save your husband, otherwise I will cry my tears dry in prison."

Leon's funny voice kept coming to her ears, and Olivia couldn't help but laugh. She was so amused that she raised her right hand in annoyance, touched the other person's cheek, and pinched it hard: "How can I have so many gold coins? No. I’m going to save you, don’t let me lose~”

"hiss"

Leon bared his teeth, the girl's strength was no joke, he quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, my highness Olivia, I swear, can't you guarantee victory? Be gentle, it hurts~!" "

Hearing this, Olivia forced a reassuring smile, she stopped pinching, and then gently rubbed Leon's cheek: "I'm sorry, staying with you is so comfortable, it always makes me want to act coquettishly towards you. .”

Leon closed his eyes and enjoyed the girl's caress on his face, and smiled: "What are you talking about? We are lovers. What's wrong with you acting coquettishly to me? It's too late for me to like you. I can't wait to be close to you like this every day."

He couldn't restrain himself anymore, stretched out his arms, hugged Olivia, and hugged the girl tightly happily.

"But I shouldn't put pressure on you. You're too tired."

Olivia obediently fell into the other person's arms, lowered her eyes, and felt remorse in her heart.

"tired?"

Leon was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath.

He patted the girl's back and comforted her in a gentle voice: "What are you thinking about? I'm tired. I'm fine. Only those lumberjacks are tired."

"Everyone is very tired, but there is always time to empty their heads. But I see you are always like this, constantly smiling at everyone but carrying everyone on your shoulders all the time, never stopping your mind." Ollie As Wei Ya spoke, she stretched out her hands distressedly, put her arms around her lover's neck, and softly comforted him: "Leon, you need to rest."

"."

Leon relaxed his tense nerves lightly.

He narrowed his eyes and lowered his head with nostalgia, feeling the girl's ears and temples rubbing together.

I feel tired and exhausted, and an unprecedented sense of vulnerability fills my heart that seems to always be able to put everything aside.

"Thank you, Olivia."

Leon slowly felt that he had lost some of the confidence and strength he had always had.

He couldn't even help but pray to the girl: "I, I want a kiss, just like that day. Is that okay?"

He just felt as if the woman he loved in his arms could tolerate everything about him at this moment.

My own weakness, my own worries, my own cowardice, my own exhaustion

Olivia smiled, without any hesitation, and responded to his request in a sweet voice.

"Hmm~"

The girl held Leon's cheek lovingly with her hands.

Leaning her head forward, Olivia's soft lips gave the other party a green and warm kiss.

Feel the tenderness of a girl.

Leon seemed to melt into Olivia's love.

After being entangled and separated, Leon once again felt a heartbeat like first love.

Hugging each other hard, he was even afraid that what he had was just a long hallucination.

"Olivia. Olivia"

Whispering the other person's name, Leon felt the petite and soft physical presence of the other person.

He endured his longing for fear of awakening this intoxicating dream.

"Leon~" Feeling the warmth, Olivia pressed her side face against it.

The girl's eyes were misty.

She climbed into the other person's ear, endured her shyness, whispered, and comforted the other person with a dependent whisper: "It's okay. Leon, I don't want to lose you.

If it helps you relax, I'll do it.

Accept everything about you.”

The rapid breathing made Leon's heartbeat rise to the top.

The blood and impulse went straight to his head.

For a moment, he wanted to possess the other person at all costs, invade the other person, and blend them together.

But in a daze.

The love in his heart made him slowly calm down again.

This is not the best of times.

Now it's just the recklessness born out of a fragile heart when the heavy pressure is suddenly released.

Although Olivia is willing to accept it completely, taking hasty actions will still leave regrets in the end.

It shouldn't be now, nor should it be this moment.

It’s not like the American blockbusters I watched in my previous life. There must be a sex scene before the war?

Leon didn't want the union of each other's hearts to become such a shallow memory.

He wants to pursue a more perfect moment with Olivia.

".I feel.I'm much better."

Leon hugged the girl tightly, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and took a long breath of relief, intending to stop there.

Being able to enjoy the wonderful touch of the other person in your arms can already relieve the pressure that has accumulated in your chest for a long time.

In the darkness, Olivia leaned against Leon's chest quietly, and suddenly bit her lip, a little hesitant, but more of a small dissatisfaction.

Unable to see clearly in the dark environment, she finally boldly proposed to the other party, but she still noticed that Leon was obviously suppressing a heart full of pressure that could not be released.

"You lied"

Olivia whispered.

"I'm not lying, with your kiss, I'm satisfied tonight." Leon defended with a smile.

Olivia lay on top of the other person, her eyes lowered quietly, her cheeks red and she secretly glanced down.

She moved a little, as if she was a little scared, but she mustered up the courage to reach down and reach out her little hand.

"You lied"

The girl was angry and shy and got the tangible evidence that could prove her argument from just now.

He never expected that the key would be suddenly grasped, and Leon's eyes widened in the darkness.

The rationality that originally had the upper hand suddenly became erratic.

Can't blame him.

He has tried his best to control the big head.

How could he hold a beautiful girl like Olivia in his arms and he was not a cripple?

"I!!"

Clenching his teeth, his back trembled, feeling the girl's thirst for knowledge like a curious baby, Leon's pupils were shaking.

No, if this continues, the devil in my heart will overwhelm the angel.

Leon lifted the girl's shoulders and pushed her to sit up from beside him, temporarily relieving himself from his embarrassing situation.

With his eyes slightly adapted to the darkness, Leon looked at the extinguished candlestick on the table beside him. He recalled Miss Laura's teachings and controlled the weak magic power in his body to condense on his fingertips, driving the discrete elements in the air to move at high speed.

With a snap of his fingers, Leon threw the thermal reaction towards the candlestick from a distance.

Bang~!

After a subtle burning sound, the dim candlelight illuminated the room.

"Le Leon?"

Seeing the candle light up again, the pretty girl with a flushed face instinctively hid behind the bed.

For a moment, she lost the courage and curiosity she had when she was "holding a sword" in the dark. Olivia awkwardly grabbed the quilt to cover her thin figure.

Leon looked back with burning eyes, looking at the timid lover who suddenly opened his eyes and blinked for mercy.

He originally wanted to imitate the boss's speech and say something, girl, you are playing with fire.

However, that thought was immediately thrown out of the window.

He was already a ball of flame that was about to explode.

"Olivia, I want us to feel sweet and unforgettable for that happy moment every time we recall that important day in the days to come. What do you think about such a day, the only time we became partners? "

Leon approached the girl and smiled softly.

Just the flickering candlelight reflected his shadow on the wall, like a dragon approaching the kitten.

Olivia nodded ignorantly, her tension slowly dissipated, and her eyes were filled with recognition.

Leon raised his hand to caress his lover's pretty face, moved affectionately to the girl, and pecked her soft lips, causing her to slowly relax and immerse herself in his love.

"But now, I understand your thoughts. I really long for your beauty and your comfort."

".I want to teach you a swordsmanship. Are you willing to help me?" Leon evoked a real bad smile.

He held Olivia's cheek and gently brushed her beautiful pink lips with his thumb.

At midnight.

Covis turned over and woke up with his lips pressed, feeling thirsty.

The young man rubbed his eyes, without disturbing the little gryphon sleeping soundly beside the bed. He stretched out his index finger, lit up the weak magic light, got out of bed and came to the table.

He picked up the kettle that he had become more and more accustomed to filling with cold boiled water since he followed his master.

He originally wanted to pour a glass of cold water to moisten his throat, but his unbearable thirst still made him raise the kettle eagerly.

Raising his head slightly, the young man opened his lips and held the cold spout.

Gu~Gulu~

The clean cold water slid along the young man's throat, moistening the dry throat.

"Gu~cough"

After drinking heavily, it was inevitable that I would choke slightly.

His hands were shaking when he coughed, and the cool liquid splashed onto his face. Corvis had no choice but to put down the kettle, cover his mouth, and helplessly wipe the water stains on his face.

After quenching his thirst, the young man yawned and crawled back to bed, lying on the bed, sleeping comfortably and having sweet dreams.

But the night goes on.
