Ride and Cut

"I understand. Your Majesty hopes that I will fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield with the will to die and make meritorious deeds for Pompeii." The lord stretched out his hand and slowly brushed the surface of the "coffin", with an extremely dignified and resolute expression, like an alien version of Dou E who is about to go to the execution ground.

The leader of the military convoy was also a fine man with a quick reaction, and immediately realized that the Eagle Knight must have been mistaken for a coffin. It's wrong to improvise a pre-war mobilization.

It is quite old-fashioned to support the coffin, and the words such as honor, mission, magnificence, and invincibility are sold at the wholesale sale without money, which aroused the blood of the soldiers in Gaoshan Castle and screamed, wishing to take a knife and go to the Stuart immediately.

The young people were full of enthusiasm, but old fritters like Buckland didn't like this, and complained in private-even if a nobleman was captured on the battlefield, he still had the right to spend money to redeem himself, so what's the matter with sending a coffin?

But later the leader of the team told Li Cha the truth in private, "My lord, this is actually a simple teleportation array."

Li Cha was going to reach out and touch the broken gemstones inlaid on the side of the "coffin", because it looked very similar to a magic crystal, he wondered if he could dig it out and sell fakes. Hearing this, he retracted his hand again—that is really a magic crystal!

"Teleportation circle?" Li Cha suspected that there might be something wrong with his ears

"It can automatically accumulate enough magic power every half a month, and can teleport one person to a designated location, but every time it is used, it has to wait for half a month to accumulate magic power again. It is also very simple to use, just lie down and twist the cross wheel clockwise."

"Why did you get me such a thing?" The lord held his forehead and couldn't laugh or cry.

He had heard of the famous alchemy item, the teleportation circle, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. But for the Alpine Fort that was about to face war, such a flashy thing could not be as strong and simple as various military supplies.

After all, war is not a game of one or two people, but a collision of tens of thousands of people from two forces. It can only be transmitted once in half a month, and it is still a single-person directed transmission. No matter how it sounds, it sounds like chicken ribs.

"My lord, don't be too satisfied." The little official sighed, and plucked the white feathers on the helmet. "The entire northeast province has no more than ten teleportation circles. Even a simple magic circle is worth astonishing. If it wasn't for His Royal Highness Bedrick's willful request, you wouldn't be able to get it so easily."

"It's him." Li Cha thought of the big black man with braids all over his head, and unconsciously stretched out his hand and scratched his head.

"Your Highness asked me to pass a message to you." The leader officer looked at Li Cha with obvious apprehension on his face. He still doesn't know what kind of person the Eagle Knight is. If he is a very tough and militant hawk, he will definitely be furious when he hears the next words.

"What words?"

"Kill the enemy bravely, make meritorious deeds..."

Looking at his expression, Li Cha knew that there must be a second half of the sentence, and asked directly: "Well, what then?"

The little official blinked twice, "Your Highness also said that if you really can't win...then seize the opportunity and run as fast as possible. The priority is to save your life. The battle belongs to the country, and your life belongs to you."

Co-authoring and sending a teleportation circle is not to expect to be useful on the battlefield, but to let him save the critical moment to save his life! The lord was silent for a long time without holding back, and finally he patted his thigh and started laughing wildly.

His smile led the little official to start laughing too, and the two of them faced each other hahaha for a long time, neither of them could stop the car.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Cha wiped away his tears.

"I don't want to laugh, but I can't help it."

"Damn, me too." To be honest, the lord was a little moved. It's really hard to find such a caring highness these days, that is, Bedric can do it.

"This directional transmission, where is the destination?"

"Your Highness said it's the Northeast Palace." The little official suppressed his smile, and it was obvious that he was already trying to maintain his seriousness, but the twitching corners of his mouth from time to time betrayed him.

It turned out to be the Northeast Palace! In Li Cha's mind, Bedric's level of unreliability has risen to another level. Although he doesn't understand magic, he also knows that it is absolutely risky to casually give away the teleportation circle connected to the palace.

"Tell him after you go back, just say I know."

Now that the Qimen military aid has been handed over, the transportation team should naturally return. The lord invited them to have lunch, which was considered a joy for the host and guests. The unique dishes of the halfling chef in the Alpine Castle almost made them swallow their tongues.

Before leaving, the little officer commanded the entourage to work together to carry the "coffin" to the private room of the lord of the Alpine Fort. However, even a blind man could tell that such a giant made of metal must be quite heavy, and he was a little troubled for a while, even considering whether to bother those centaurs and barbarians who looked very majestic at first glance.

"No." Li Cha stretched out his hand to stop it.

The little official cast a puzzled look at the lord, not knowing what he was going to do.

Li Cha took a deep breath to activate the surging power, and the powerful force penetrated the whole body with a warm current that seemed to be real. He leaned over and hugged the "coffin" with both hands and let out a low growl, the muscles of his arms bulged high, and the veins like earthworms swelled and spread.

Several attendants couldn't help pointing at this scene. It is conservatively estimated that it weighs a full two tons. Isn't it a bit overwhelming to lift it by one person?

The doubts didn't last long, because the facts they saw with their own eyes were like a storm, destroying their traditional cognition like a storm.

The heavy metal "coffin" was lifted abruptly! The Eagle Knight himself didn't seem to be struggling too much. He bent his arms and continued to rise until he put the box firmly on his shoulders. He turned and walked towards his room step by step, not even forgetting to wave goodbye.

The little official opened his mouth wide, looking at the two strings of clear footprints on the dry and hard ground that were as deep as a finger deep, and then looked up at Li Cha's back. His eyes were completely rigid, and a trace of saliva slipped from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

…………

When the time entered November, there was absolutely no possibility of success in church mediation, which had become the consensus of all people of insight.

The two countries maintained the utmost respect for the Church itself, just as they completely disregarded all intermediary envoys.

On the day when the first hoarfrost appeared in Alpine Castle in the early morning, the falcon flying from afar landed on the falcon. The falconer took off the letter box and fed the letter falcon a few shreds of meat as in the past, and then handed over the letter box layer by layer to the big man who is qualified to read the letter.

After a while, there was a little chaos on the hill, and it subsided in an instant. The news that the Church had failed to mediate between Pompey and Stuart had already spread within Alpine Castle.

The church's mediation may indeed be based on the compassion of a religious person, but in the face of naked interest disputes, all of this is so pale and powerless after all.

War broke out!
