"Thank you, Knight Claude." Ludwig patted him on the shoulder intimately, "——my daughter is 14 years old this year, but she hasn't guarded the knight yet. If you want..."
I'm super, don't.
Claude almost didn't hold back. If he became a guardian knight, he would be really tied up. You said that if you introduce your daughter to me, it's fine. At worst, you can become a female emperor, but I am a real guardian knight. Can't fix it.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust, but before my father died, he told me to restore the glory of the family on the battlefield, so I must refuse your kindness."
Whoever wants the identity that is used to play with the flirt, whoever wants it, Claude is very grateful.
If it’s the latter, I can only say that I’m used to it (tears) QQ Group Clothes ⑥⑧2一77①
The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 13
"Next, Claude, how about you act with my Knights?"
Ludwig invited.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, in addition to the letter to you, Knight Adelin also has a message for me to send to his family, so I may not be able to be with you in the future."
Claude bowed and apologized.
"This assassination will indeed be delayed for a long time... Then you go to the imperial capital, I will write you a letter, you go to my manor in the outskirts first, and ask the housekeeper to give you the pension and hand it over to Adelin's family Well, after I return to the imperial capital, I will appease them."
Ludwig's eyes were a little gloomy. Adelin was also an old knight who had been loyal to him for many years, and he did not expect to die because of such a thing.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"From now on, you can live in my manor. When I come back, I will arrange for you to enter the Imperial Military University." Ludwig is obviously very optimistic about Claude and is already planning his future path.
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness!"
Claude bows.
"Bring one of my war horses here." The third prince obviously understood what a knight lacked, "Claude, you should be careful on this return journey, after all, the culprit has not been caught yet."
"Okay, Your Highness, but before that..." the young man took the reins from a soldier, "I have to go to Miss Dania first and apologize for 'kidnapping her'."
"Go, I think Miss Dania will forgive you."
Ludwig laughed.
--------------------------------------
Ernst and the Leipzig Knights came in time, because Manteuffel was almost unable to hold on.Because his purpose is not simply to defend, but also to maintain the length of the entire defense line to ensure that no one team can break through.
The scene was so tragic that they wanted to block the passage with horses and the corpses of their comrades, but the opposing knights were still advancing slowly but resolutely.
Iowen has already stood at the forefront, relying on the strength of the Glory Knight like a god of war, Mantefil had to gather several captains and his own soldiers to fight with their lives, although he was temporarily held back, but lost After the effective command broke into a chaotic battle, the opponent was overwhelming the Lightning Knights with their numerical advantage.
"Eowen...I didn't expect it to be you."
Manduffel spat out a mouthful of blood gloomyly, just now he was hit hard on the chest by the opposite party.
"So what if it's me, do you still have a chance to say it?"
The man sneered, and raised his sword to push forward again.
Now we are fighting for time, so it doesn't matter if we are exposed or not.
Then the sound of horseshoes came from behind Manduffel, and then the bow of the knight's crossbow passed over their heads and plunged into the attacking troops behind.
"This is……"
Manteuffel suddenly turned around. What he was most afraid of was that His Royal Highness Ludwig did not retreat back, but came forward to support him.
When he saw Ernst, his heart was half cold, but when he saw the Leipzig Knights behind him, he immediately became ecstatic.
"Reinforcements have arrived! Lightning Knights! Gather the formation!"
He laughed loudly, retreated with the few remaining soldiers, and gave way to the guards to charge.
Eowyn's eyes were red.
It's all over.
"Damn—that vile, shameless Saxony!"
No amount of roaring would be able to save the situation, but Iowen didn't intend to stand still.
He also broke contact immediately, taking the opportunity to retreat back.
"Attack! Their rear has been blocked by us, and they can only attack us. Have you seen the blood on their bodies! That is the record of our rear guard!"
After all, there are very few people who can recognize the Leipzig Knights. In addition, the current state of the guards rushing forward is visible to the naked eye, so the morale of both sides is miraculously boosted.
This made it possible for Iowen to retreat with some people.
What he took away was a group of people who were absolutely loyal to him. Now the situation is irreversible. No matter what happens to His Royal Highness Joachim in the end, it is absolutely the best policy to retain his strength. .
After all, he knew exactly who was standing behind the second prince.
-----------------------------------
Just as the fierce battle ahead was raging, Claude had already caught up with Dania on horseback.
But looking at the Leipzig knights around your lady who wanted to eat him alive, he stopped tactfully.
"Get out of the way, let me go."
Dania ordered immediately.
"Miss!"
The knights around were startled, but Dania stopped them.The girl alone drove the horse under her feet and walked to Claude.
"What did His Royal Highness Ludwig tell you?"
"He said he wanted me to pledge my allegiance to him."
Claude smiled and showed the military badge of his Lightning Knights.
Dania's eyes dimmed. What she said before was actually serious. She really wanted to tie Claude to her side. It didn't matter if she really married him. After all, as a nobleman, feelings are the most ridiculous and useless things.
A 16-year-old Knight of Justice is almost certain to become a Knight of Glory before the age of 30, and even a Knight of War Soul is very likely, plus his wise plan...
But don't worry about what you can't get, but fight for possible benefits in time.
"It's more than that? Didn't he ask about the Leipzig Knights?"
"I asked, and I will give you all the credit." The young man smiled, "It was you who cooperated with my kidnapping, helped me find this place, and then charged with the Leipzig Knights. Now you are a loyal follower in the heart of His Highness." the one."
"You!" Dania gritted her teeth with hatred, "Did you do this to create your 'fool full of chivalry'?"
"No, you see, I'm only 16 years old, a bumpkin, and a genius who has become a fool in cultivation. Who would believe me if I can plan so much with a single letter?"
Claude said with a relaxed face, but these words surprised Dania again.
"You...really didn't know anything before you got that letter?"
The look in the girl's eyes was already mixed with fear. It would be understandable to say who the other party was behind, but if the other party was only involved and could cause such a big wave on a whim...
"you guess."
Claude tilted his head, Dania's reaction was what he needed.
"I said, don't disappoint the image I helped you create. Do you think I explained so much to you just to save His Highness?"
The boy lightly steered the horse and passed the girl.
"Don't forget, the Principality of Saxony is the principality closest to the imperial capital. You can hide the army of His Royal Highness Joachim, but can't you hide the army of His Royal Highness Ludwig?"
The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 14
"You...what are you going to do to hide the army!"
Dania suppressed the chill in her heart, even her voice trembled a little.
"you guess."
Claude turned the horse's head and left in the direction of Saxony.
"I won't do it. Even if you speak good words for me in front of His Royal Highness Ludwig, I will not become the third prince's henchman. After today, the second prince will surely collapse. The eldest prince is unstoppable. I won't Will help a doomed man."
"This sentence is a bit familiar. I remember that just a few hours ago, you seemed to say, 'His Royal Highness Ludwig is dead'. What about now?"
Dania took a deep breath and told her intuitively that she could no longer listen to a word of this man, because her thoughts and concepts had been changed again and again because of this man's words. It may really be beyond redemption!
But rationality told her that what he said was true, and he had no reason to harm himself, go and listen...
"I will choose to help His Royal Highness Ludwig ascend to the throne of God. You don't need to do anything deliberately, and you really think that I speak for you to get you into the camp of the third prince?" The young man sneered, "Don't be stupid , His Royal Highness Ludwig's approval is your only chance to inherit the Duchy of Saxony."
"Do you really think that your father is really optimistic about you by reserving your inheritance rights? Please use your brain and think about it! When a horse refuses to walk, we can give it a whip, but we can also lead Let another horse walk in front of it and tell it that its seat may be replaced at any time, so that it will obey, understand?"
Claude's words were like venom, spreading wantonly in Dania's heart, corroding the heart that was quite convinced of her father, and it was riddled with holes.
"'The First Grand Duchess of the Empire', what an alluring crown, do you really think that your father can have such courage?"
"No, impossible, father, he is indeed—"
"Shh, don't be so loud, the knights are all looking at this side." Claude chuckled, "Those powerful knights, who really obeys you? Which army is it you who gave the order?" I can go through fire and water for you, even if I assassinate a prince like today, can I fight to the death without retreating?"
"Even His Majesty the Emperor knows to ask his sons to form a knight order each to ensure their own safety before going to manage power. Would a grand duke not know? Think about that idiot brother you mentioned, do you really think Are you equal?"
The girl's hand holding the rein convulsed slightly.
"I... what should I do?"
Dania finally lowered her head dejectedly, her voice trembling, and asked Claude for help.
"Before I tell you the answer, please answer me, are you willing to serve His Royal Highness Ludwig?"
Dania raised her head and looked at the dark-eyed young man in front of her. She had already realized what the other party was really thinking.
"I...will."
The girl struggled to say this sentence, as if she had exhausted all her strength, her whole body seemed to be emptied for a moment, and she even couldn't help sobbing.
She knew that what she just said sent herself into an abyss, but she also knew that everything she dreamed of was just a pawn in the eyes of that abyss, so before she really became useful, the other party It will not be aimed at her.
"Go back and tell your father that the reason you did such a thing is because Joachim is going to charge the Grand Duke of Saxony and the First Prince with the crime of killing His Royal Highness Ludwig."
Claude lightly took out a folded paper and handed it to her.
"The detailed explanations are all above. You know your father better, and you know how to say it so as not to make him suspicious. As for the rest, you don't need to worry. There will naturally be news from the imperial capital. Your father will know when the time comes. What should be done."
Dania took the paper with both hands and held it tightly in her arms.
"When did you... write this piece of paper!"
"Didn't I tell you on the way here from Saxonburg, you were a pleasant surprise." Claude pulled the rein lightly and left in the opposite direction of the battlefield.
"I'm going to the imperial capital, Miss Saxon, I hope we will have a chance to meet again."
Dania stared blankly at his back, still holding the piece of paper in her hand.
This made the knights behind them whisper.
"I said, do you think the young lady's attitude towards that young man is a bit strange?"
"That can't be a love letter, right? The poor boy knight and the noble lady, that's what's written in the book."
"I think the eldest lady seems to be in love with each other?"
Hearing his subordinates chatting more and more outrageously, the captain coughed lightly, and fell silent for a moment.
"Stupid! I only realized it now? But Miss Fan is a little bit reluctant, we need to chase so far and still not be able to catch up with them?"
He squinted at his helpless subordinates.
"The captain is wise!" *N
The knights who were still giggling didn't know at that time what the content on that piece of paper meant to them.
-------------------------------------
【Are you very optimistic about that girl named Dania? 】
“How come you see?”
[You are subtly brainwashing her, using your words to make her have initial trust in you, and then accomplishing an impossible thing in an unbelievable way, which makes her subconsciously believe that your ability is far superior to his, resulting in After destroying the natural dependence of human beings on the strong, you then destroy the comfort zone in her heart, making her think that you are the only one left for her to rely on. 】
"You are at least +8 in anthropology. How could you be assigned to practice with me? Shouldn't you be the top student in the school?" Claude was a little strange.
