Chapter 272: A Hard Knock (Part 2)

Ugru

Spring finally arrived at this thousand-year-old city. The gentle spring breeze swept through the city, driving away the last chill of winter.

There were suddenly more colors on the streets. The noble ladies and ordinary girls changed into thick winter clothes and colorful spring clothes. Their silver bell-like laughter and graceful figure added countless bright colors to this ancient city.[]

And a victory news that came back from the north brought Ugru into a carnival atmosphere.

On the Ice Field of the North, an expeditionary force composed of the Great Northern Garrison and 100,000 territorial troops defeated the barbarian coalition and killed 100,000 barbarians at the cost of the death of 35,000 soldiers, severely damaged their main force.

After winning the decisive battle, the expeditionary force took advantage of the situation to launch a full-line attack, capturing the three fortresses of the barbarians in one fell swoop, pushing the dividing line between the two sides to the north for a hundred miles.

This was one of the most brilliant victories of the Bemon Kingdom in decades. The severely damaged barbarians retreated to the depths of the ice field, and the most important harbor, Linsk, was directly exposed to the threat of the Bemon army's army.

Although he achieved unprecedented results, this time the commander of the Bemon Legion was not lost in the minds of victory, nor did he rashly go deep into the enemy territory, but instead consolidated the defense line step by step.

This is because in the wars in the past, the barbarian army wiped out the risky Bimon army's rushing forward more than once. They used the rangers to harass the supply line of the Bimon army and adopted the tactic of segmentation and siege, which repeatedly caused the Bimon army to suffer great losses.

Of course, the Bemon Beasts will not make such mistakes again.

The extreme northern garrison army, which had the advantage, could use the tactic of boiling frogs in warm water, and continuously raid the barbarian tribes, dragging their opponents into endless war of attrition and tug-of-war. The barbarians with great energy were unable to invade the south within ten years.

The north of the kingdom will usher in a decade of peace!

So when the news of this victory came back to Ugru, how happy the millions of residents of the royal capital were, and how long-lasting war with the extreme northern barbarians made them pay a lot of money and made many people tired.

Now I can finally take a breath.

So people walked out of their homes and walked onto the streets, singing and dancing to celebrate the victory, and the entire royal palace was trapped in a sea of ​​joy.

At this time, Leon, Corinna, Priest Xiling and a team of Templar Knights quietly left Ugru and embarked on the itinerary to Thal.

When he left, Leon's title was promoted from viscount to Count, and he had a vast new territory, truly ranked among the top nobles of the kingdom.

In just a few years, he was promoted from a civilian to an earl, which is not unique in the history of the kingdom, but a height that countless nobles could never reach in their lifetime.

In addition to the efforts of the Rhine family and the Holy Mountain Temple, Leon's military achievements on the Arctic Icefield are also the key.

If he hadn't led the Thunder Beast Brigade to attack Linsk Port and destroyed the barbarian supplies, the barbarians would not have been in a hurry to seek a decisive battle with the Expeditionary Force, and they suffered a great defeat.

With Leon's credit, it was natural to be promoted to Earl. If it weren't for his identity as a temple, this title would have fallen on him long ago.

Even though he was suppressed, Leon's promotion to earl was handled in a low-key manner, but he still attracted too much attention in the royal capital aristocratic circle.

People talked about the life-and-death duel between Leon and Sayat, marveled at the amazing wealth he had obtained, talked about the losses suffered by the Rhine family, and gossiped about the romantic affairs between Leon and Corinna...

Such all these made Leon feel a lot of tangible pressure, so he decided to leave Ugru.

The water in the royal capital is too deep, and the undercurrents are surging. If you are not careful, you may be crushed to pieces.

His idea was supported by Corinna.

Since Corinna came forward to negotiate with Duke Barkley, she was regarded as a betrayer of the Rhine family and no longer had the same glory as before in the aristocratic circle.

But Corinna not only did not feel any loss, but she felt relaxed from the cage. She only wanted to leave with Leon and go to Thal to live a free and comfortable life.

As for Xiling, the beautiful girl of the Siwo family, the most dazzling pearl in the kingdom, there were very few people who knew that she went to Thrall for trials, and all those who knew were kept tight-lipped.

She changed into an ordinary robe and covered her peerless face with a veil. Even the Templar Knight who acted as a guard disguised herself as a mercenary warrior, and was extremely low-key.

Because once someone discovers that she leaves Ugru, I really don't know how many admirers will follow her wildly, and those young and impulsive knight suitors are enough to form a passionate legion to defend their dream lover.

Such a situation is something that Leon and Xiling herself don't want to see, otherwise her trial will turn into a farce.

A small convoy of less than twenty people ran along the road leading to the south. After a five-day trip, it reached the boundary between the Shengyao Province and the Southwest Province.

In the luxurious carriage carriage with a small space, Corinna leaned against the soft couch to carefully read the thick books in her hand. Reading was her hobby and the best way to pass the boring time of long-distance travel.

The priestess who was in the same car with her was not so at ease. He occasionally lifted the curtains of the car to enjoy the scenery outside.

Spring is the most beautiful season on the glorious continent. In this sparsely populated place, the continuous mountains in the distance, the wilderness of wild flowers and the small rivers that wind through the plains are all pleasant scenery.

It was just that the similar scenery was enough to make people bored after watching it for a few days, but this Swan Miss still maintained a strong interest, and even a few bisons rushed past the road, which attracted her curious gaze.

Corinna could understand this somewhat, because this beautiful girl left Ugru for the first time since she was a child. She was like a flower cultivated in a greenhouse and had never experienced the baptism of wind, frost, rain and snow outside.

Therefore, on the road of cultivation, Xiling, who has extremely high talent, encountered bottlenecks and obstacles, was stuck in a critical place and could not break through.

Therefore, the High Priest Farns, as a mentor, asked her to go to Thar to take the trial. Thar was next to the Nucang River in the south, the wild forest and the swamp area in the west, and the darker place in the north, which was the best trial place for the shamans.

"Miss, after passing the river ahead, it is the southwest province!"

A Templar Knight stepped forward and paralleled the carriage and reported to Xiling: "It's getting dark, let's camp by the river tonight!"

This Templar Knight looks in his forties. Although he is not particularly burly, he shows the ingenious aura of a wolf-born knight. The dark brown wolf eyes are filled with divine light, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

His name is Lakes Wolf, and he is the captain of the Knights.

In order to escort Xiling safely to Sarling, the Temple of the Holy Mountain sent a total of twelve Templar Knights.

Although there are not many people, all the twelve Templar Knights are very strong, and the worst one is the strength of a level 3 mad soul warrior. As the captain, Lex is even a level 5 soul ring warrior.

According to the arrangement of the High Priest Farns, this team of Templar Knights will always be with Xiling until she completes the trial, and Lex will also serve as the instructor of the Thunder Beast War Chapter, teaching all kinds of skills of warriors in the war Chapter.

Serious, rigid, serious... In this knight, the advantages and disadvantages of the Templar Knight coexist, and his loyalty and persistence also make Xiling respect it.

"Okay!" the girl nodded.

After leaving Ugru, she took off her veil and didn't know what methods she used on her face. Her beautiful face became much more ordinary, at least she would not cause riots if she was seen by others.

"Sister Corinna, are you very annoying to be with me? Otherwise, where are you going to Earl Reon?" the girl turned her head and asked with a smile: "I think he really wants to be with you!"

Corinna rubbed her eyebrows with some headache. She and Xiling had not known each other for a long time, but they soon became close friends who could talk about everything.

But she only realized now that the priestess' angel-like innocence was flat on the surface, but there was a restless devil's heart hidden.

Perhaps the serious atmosphere of the Holy Mountain Temple suppressed her temperament, so after Li Lan there, her nature was exposed.

Along the way, she asked Corinna curiously about her dating history with Leon, such as how did she meet? Is love really so obsessed with Leon? Is there any one with Leon...

Some questions made Corinna blush and her heart beat, but the little girl opened her innocent eyes, as if she didn't know how embarrassing these topics were.

"Yes..." Corinna closed the book and smiled sweetly, "I'll sleep with him in the same tent tonight!"

"That's not OK, Sister Corinna..." Xiling laughed and threw herself into Corinna's arms, stretched out her little hand to her dress, and skillfully stroked the towering mountain: "I like to hold you and sleep with you, yours is so big!"

This little demon! Corinna bit her lip and glared at her hatefully.

When touched by her hands, it felt completely different from Leon, which made Corinna's heart feel a very strange feeling.

However, Corinna is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she also pressed Xiling's chest with her backhand: "Yeah, you're a little smaller!"

What she didn't expect was that her little counterattack made the swan girl close her eyes, stretch her snow-white neck, and let out a seductive moan.

He actually leaned over and kissed Corina's lips.

Corinna was stunned.

At this moment, the carriage stopped.

The door of the carriage was suddenly opened, and Leon leaned in.

"You can..."

The scene inside made his voice come to an abrupt end!
Chapter completed!
