Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

But the next morning, Youfu Ma didn't need to make excuses and couldn't go to Longquan Palace.

A messenger hurried to the hotel and told Youf Ma an urgent message: "The sister of the Duke of Burgundy was attacked on her way to Ghent, and her whereabouts are unknown!"

Since most of the Burgundian army had gone to the front line of Calais, Philip III had few men on hand, and even if he sent all of them to rescue, he would be stretched too thin.So he had to come to Yofu Ma for help.

In order to let Youfu Ma do his best to help, Philip III also revealed a piece of news.

In addition to reconciling England's relations with Burgundy, the Duchess of Bedford's wife had another mission: to discuss the possibility of an armistice with France.

It is said that Britain was willing to cede Mann in order to obtain peace.

This time, Yoo Ma can no longer ignore it.

He took all thirty shield dwarf halberdiers and forty human guards with him, left Ghent, and met the priest Milot, the guide left by Philip III, outside the city.

"It's unfortunate to encounter such an emergency. I'm sorry to have to trouble a distinguished guest like you." Pastor Milot bowed.

"It is our duty to help the women in distress." Youfu Ma said politely.

The two exchanged information while rushing on their way.

Mrs. Anne was scheduled to arrive in Ghent this morning, but was attacked last night when she was staying in a small village called Avni in the south of Ghent.

Around the early hours of the morning, the survivors of Mrs. Anne's entourage rushed to the city of Ghent and told Philip III of the situation.

The Duke immediately dispatched his troops to search for the trace of his sister.

"Any information on that?" Yoof Ma asked.

"The survivors just said that the attack came from above."

"A human or a monster?"

"There was no property damage. Except for those who were killed on the spot, everyone else was taken away." Pastor Milot thought for a while and said, "It should be a monster."

The group rushed all the way, and after about an hour, they arrived at the small village where the accident happened.

The entire roof of the hotel where Mrs. Anne stayed was destroyed, and the cold wind poured into the messy room from the big hole above her head, which looked particularly desolate.

"Lord Marquis, please take a look." Priest Milot said, pointing to a piece of armor that was riddled with corrosion. "Those monsters can spit out strongly acidic liquids."

"It can fly, and it can spit strong acid. It's big enough to grab adult humans. Although there are not many such monsters, there are several kinds." Ma Youfu said.

There was no shortage of well-informed men under Philip III.The information Ma Youfu deduced was actually detected by other rescue teams.

"You're right," said Reverend Milot. "Those monsters took people away, mostly as food reserves. Humans are having a hard time this winter, and so are the monsters. The most important thing now is to find Mrs. Anne as soon as possible. The longer it drags on, the more likely something unspeakable will happen. The Duke and his sister have a very good relationship and don’t want any misfortune to happen.”

The monsters that attacked the village were able to fly, leaving no trace in the snow.

Philip III invited several wizards to try to find his sister with the spells of the prophetic school, but nothing came of it.So he had to use a stupid method, send all his hands, and use a carpet search method to find it.

"Um..." Ma Youfu was weighing the pros and cons.

He does have props on hand that can make it easier to find people.Whether it is worth using the Stone of Guidance for the Duchess of Bedford, however, is debatable.

The military value of the Guidance Stone has been proven.Need this precious magic item to rescue a stranger?

"Mann..." Youfu Ma muttered the name of the place.

This land has nothing to write home about, just a flat area suitable for farming.The most famous city is Le Mans, which has existed since Roman times.It's a pity that Youfu Ma is not a racing fan, and he has no feelings for this city famous for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in later generations.

Of course, land and population are the most important resources in this era. If Mann can be obtained, it will definitely greatly enhance Ma Youfu's strength.

Moreover, Mann is the domain of the Duke of Anjou.It was only ceded to the British after the Battle of Vernay.After getting Mann, if you don't want it, maybe you can use it to make a deal with Queen Yolande.

Of course, Yoof Ma also knew that if he wanted to get Mann, he had to sign a truce with England.

The enemy will get a precious respite.The time to regain Paris and even the whole of Normandy, and to regain his own fief Rouen, has to be extended for a long time.

The above situation is impossible.

Because Mayouf knew that if the Duke of Bedford wanted to make peace with him by ceding the land, the contract had to be signed in secret.If the main war faction in England and the increasingly radical people know the news, there will definitely be a huge opposition.

Therefore, if Ma Youfu is intentional and deliberately leaks a little information, it is easy to induce England to actively break the agreement and continue the war.

If done right, capturing Mann for the brief duration of the contract would certainly be the best outcome.If not, you can also prostitute a claim.

It is also justifiable to take Mann as his own in the future.

Using the last chance to use the Guiding Stone to exchange for a territory with an area of ​​more than 1 square kilometers and a population of more than [-], there will definitely be no loss.

So, Yoof Ma took out the stone of guidance and injected magic power.

When the magic line that guides the target appeared under his feet, Youfu Ma rode on the horse and led the way, and the group ran towards the destination.

The surrounding terrain gradually swelled, turning from a plain to a rocky hilly area, Priest Milot exclaimed: "Oh my God, those monsters' lair is actually near the Longquan Palace! If you don't clean up all the monsters today, then Even the Duke's family may be in danger!"

Ma Youfu looked at the gorgeous palace looming in the complex terrain in the distance, and smiled: "It seems that today I have to go to Longquan Palace. After killing the monsters, it must be very pleasant to soak in the hot spring."

After a while, the terrain became more and more rough and it was no longer possible to ride a horse.So the people dismounted and walked.

After walking for about 5 minutes, Ma Youfu saw the corpse of a soldier who had been corroded beyond recognition by acid and exposed bones on the side of the road.

"Looks like someone is a step ahead of us."

"Hope they're all right." Pastor Milot made a gesture of prayer.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a hissing cry from the sky, and then a group of Burgundians retreated to the front in embarrassment.

"Knight Roland, what a coincidence." Yofu Ma shouted when he realized that the knight leading the team was an acquaintance of his.

Roland Knight also saw Yofu Ma, and while desperately trying to spread his gestures, he shouted: "Lord Count? Thank you to the Seven Saints for bringing reinforcements. But you can find a place to hide, those monsters are coming!"

"It should be Lord Marquis." Priest Milot corrected him, and then asked, "What monster makes you so embarrassed?"

"It's the flying scorpion! The flying scorpion that migrated from Pomerania because of the cold winter! The shells of these damn things are too hard for ordinary bows and crossbows to penetrate, and they can fly in the sky and spit venom! I have lost seven of them. They are all brave boys!"

Knight Roland thumped the ground angrily, and said: "Unless you can find spellcasters above the fifth level and use third-level spells to deal with them! But if you do that, everything will be too late. Alas, poor Mrs. Anne, you must Eaten by ugly big bugs."

Chapter 120 IX The First Test

When Youfu Ma and his party encountered the flying scorpion, a gorgeous team also drove out of Ghent in a mighty manner.

The young nobles in the team were all well-dressed, as if they were going to a grand banquet.Some people even gave up the warm and comfortable fur and wore shiny full-body plate armor on their bodies, giving them a majestic look.

It's just that wearing a layer of iron shell in winter, if there is no magic as a means of insulation, it will not feel good.When riding on a horse, a gust of cold wind blows, and the person in the armor often shakes more than the colorful feathers on the helmet.

Probably these knights and gentlemen belong to the same species as the Japanese JKs who wear short skirts in the winter.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with young men doing this.They are participating in a grand courtship event and must bring out the best in themselves, just like many males in nature.

The little princess Mary also abandoned the carriage today and rode a beautiful white pony.The winter clothes on her body have constant magic with heat preservation effect, and she is relaxed and leisurely along the way, without feeling the slightest discomfort.

On the contrary, the maid Catherine next to her had a hard time, and Joan's nose was red with cold.

Several of the highest-ranking suitors were surrounded by the stars and the moon around Little Princess Mary.Perhaps to liven up the atmosphere, a curly-haired aristocrat said, "It's a pity that the Marquis of Lamanche didn't come to participate in today's outing to Longquan Palace."

He was Hadwin, a German nobleman with a fief in Bohemia.Although the family only has the title of earl, he himself has inherited two baronies, and he stands out among a large group of sons of nobles who do not have their own fiefs.What he said immediately attracted the echoes of some nobles, and it was a pity that the Marquis of La Manche missed today's event.

However, these people didn't have a pity look on their faces, but rather a kind of schadenfreude.

"It's a pity that the Marquis of Lamanche encountered an 'emergency' at such a time."

"Perhaps the Marquis knew that Her Royal Highness would use the most fair and open method to choose her husband, so she suddenly encountered an 'emergency'."

"I guess the Marquis's 'emergency' needs to be dealt with until Her Royal Highness the Princess elects her husband."

"Weak Seris, as thin as a dog that has been starving for half a year!"

"The Marquis of La Manche has been in the French court for so long, and even the only virtue of the French - bravery, has not learned."

"Why does the Marquis of Lamanche, who lacks power and wealth, dare not compete fairly with everyone? This is really a difficult puzzle. Haha!"

For a time, cheerful laughter echoed in the winter field.

Albert stopped everyone with a displeased face: "Enough, everyone. Isn't it a shame to laugh at others behind your back? If you have the courage, dare to face the Marquis of Lamanche in front of those words just now. ?"

As soon as these words came out, most of the people were silent.

Laughing at others behind their backs like a long-tongued woman is indeed a very disgraceful behavior.

If it's a bunch of men bragging and spewing shit while drinking in private, it's okay to say these words.But the problem is, Princess Mary is also there!

Is the image missing?

Isn't mocking the Marquis of Lamanche to discredit this most threatening competitor in front of the princess?

For this, I lost my impression of myself in the heart of the princess, but it was not worth it at all.

Haven't you seen Albrecht, who looks rough but is shrewd, hasn't made a statement?

Albert, who bravely stood up for the Marquis of Lamanche, was also nodded and applauded by the little princess.

Most people woke up immediately and closed their mouths.

However, there are still guys with a high probability of intelligence attribute not exceeding 10 who continue to argue with Albert.

"Bavaria boy, why are you helping foreigners?" someone asked.

Because of the special connection between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Holy Roman Empire, many of the candidates for husband-in-law selected by Philip III for his daughter were from the German region.

It is a traditional art of human society to divide "who is one's own and who is outsider" based on regional origin.So after arriving in Ghent, most of the German nobles naturally formed a small group.

As the light of Western European civilization in this era, the French look down on the barbaric and backward "Chief Alemanni".

And the German aristocrats did not like the arrogant and exaggerated French.

"Mr. Albert is only on the side of virtue and justice. Have you all forgotten the teachings of the Seven Saints? Well, they are indeed a group of barbarians who grew up in the Black Forest!" said a son of a duke from Italy.

The German nobles began to form a group, and the nobles in other regions naturally united and fought against it.

"Italian libertine, what did you say?!" The German nobleman immediately counterattacked.

Seeing that the situation was about to develop into a regional dispute, little Princess Mary spoke up.

"Okay, gentlemen. I choose my husband for character and ability, not your native language."

Little Princess Mary's crisp and sweet voice immediately overcame the rude quarrels of the men.

After convincing everyone and quelling the quarrel, Mary said: "Gentlemen, go to Longquan Palace today, please enjoy the hot springs, food, and beautiful scenery. Every guest who comes from afar will receive Burgundy. The best hospitality for the family. Of course, it would be great if you could use art as a medium to express your feelings or feelings.”

The nobles, who listened carefully, immediately understood that this was the first "test" for the little princess.

However, except for some heirs of the great nobles who started from relatively wealthy families and started from a relatively high realm and pursued spiritual wealth, other young nobles who were wielding knives and guns since childhood and only used their money for food, drink and enjoyment, the test of the little princess began immediately. Blind.

Art?

These nobles are very good at getting on horses to chop men and dismount to ride women.
