"Owens, from now on, you are the captain of the other four. I hope you can arrange for them to fight together in the war. Of course, everything will still be under my command."

Owens nodded respectfully, "As you command, my lord."

Maybe this Owens might become his first Swadian Iron Knight in the future.

"Okay, let's work harder and continue heading deeper into the mountains!"

Everyone nodded respectfully, "Yes, my master."

This mountain range is full of various fruit trees and is full of vitality.

The woods are filled with a light fruity fragrance, which is intoxicating.

The temperature is just right and there are clear springs on the mountain.

It can be said that on this chaotic and turbulent continent, this piece of pure land is truly refreshing.

Later, poets often compared the Abyss Mountains to heaven, and De La Salle felt that they were not exaggerating.

[Comment: You are really sentimental. I asked you to play Mount & Blade, but you are just here to enjoy the scenery? ]

Shut up, shut up, you boring system, De Lassel responded in his heart.

By chance, De La Serre saw a girl beside the spring...

The girl has a graceful figure, a pure and lovely face, and is wearing a decent and elegant green dress.

Well, very good, she is very beautiful and charming, really like an ethereal being.

De La Salle thought so in his heart.

【Mission Completed】

【Meet the Character: Safiya】

What the hell? I'm here to find Long.

You want to trick me with just a beautiful woman?

Also, mission completed, damn, where's my reward!

De Lassel said to himself, System, please explain.

[Please continue the game]

Very good, really “very good”!

After calming down his excitement a little, De La Ser slowly walked towards the girl.

Is her name Safiya? Hmm, sounds nice...

Safiya is a war orphan who was fortunate enough to be adopted by the dragon clan of the Eastern Abyss Mountains. Since childhood, she has been able to live in harmony with the unruly ancient dragons.

But there have never been other humans in the mountains. She wanted to go out of the mountains and see the outside world countless times, but was ruthlessly rejected by the dragon clan every time.

The dragon race is a peaceful people and does not want her to drag the kingdom's army and war into the Abyss Mountains. This rare pure land, this rare harmony and tranquility, cannot be defiled.

"Hello, miss, my name is De Lassel." At this time, the Baron came up and greeted her.

Having not seen a human for more than ten years, Safiya was actually excited to see a living creature. She danced and cheered.

"Oh, my God, a living person! How is this possible? Where did you come from? How did you get here? What are you doing here..."

The girl kept talking as if she had never spoken in her life, and for a while, De La Salle couldn't get a word in.

Seeing the man in front of her blushing, embarrassed and at a loss, the girl chuckled and spoke slower.

"Sorry, I'm so excited. I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time. My name is Safiya."

"Well, that's a nice name."

"So, De La Serre, where are you from?"

"I'm from the 21st century... No, bah bah bah, I'm from Uxhall."

[System prompt: What's going on? You can't think straight when you see a beautiful woman? Is your mouth burning when you talk?]

Go away, don’t interfere with my train of thought, De Lassel mentally signaled the system not to mess with him.

Hearing this, Safiya subconsciously took a half step back, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Oops, she didn't bring her bow and arrow, not even her dagger...

At this moment, she noticed that there were a few ragged recruits not far away.

She stole another glance at De Lassel. Although his clothes were not fancy, his natural leadership qualities and the strange flag erected behind him that she had never seen before made her feel that he should be a noble of the kingdom.

What is even more terrifying than these is the sword hanging from De Lassel's waist, which is stained with the blood of the robbers.

"So, you...are you from...the Kingdom of Swadia?"

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. To be honest, I am the Earl of the Kingdom of Swadia, and Uxhall is my territory."

She will always remember that afternoon in her hometown, the village of Norma.

The fruit trees in the village are full of vitality.

Farmers happily called out to each other, pollinating the fruit trees.

The creaking of wooden pumps, the cries of livestock and the sound of water flowing through the canals carefully maintained by farmers make the village look prosperous.

Suddenly, a Swadian cavalry unit broke the peace and harmony of the village.

They burned, killed, and looted without any humanity, and her parents died under the knights' swords.

Later she learned that these were Uxhall's troops, coming to conquer the village.

The Lord of Uxhall at that time was the old man who was assassinated a few days ago...

The grief and fear of her childhood were awakened, and Safiya became more and more panicked, asking the dragon clan for help.

"Don't come over here! Rollins, come and save me!"

Rollins, the legendary black dragon of the Abyss Mountains, can also be said to be the "Black Death".

On the road to hell, Rollins sent countless lives...

Its entire body is burning with fire, and it can spit out flames that can destroy the world. It is its adopted daughter, Safiya.

This was also the only time that the "Black Death" showed mercy and compassion to mankind.

At this moment, Rollins, who was not far away, seemed to have a telepathic connection. He gradually woke up from his sleep and sped away.

It flapped its wings violently as it flew, creating a powerful wind that shook the entire mountain range. It radiated intense heat from its entire body, and the forest was almost on fire.

De La Serre and his troops were knocked off their feet and collapsed to the ground by the strong shaking.

Damn, dragons are so powerful and scary!

De Lassel couldn't help but sigh in his heart that humans were too insignificant in front of it.

In an instant, Rollins had flown in front of everyone. Seeing Safiya's terrified look, he suddenly became furious, his dragon face became ferocious, and he let out a roar that pierced the sky:

“Ouch!!!”

[Who dares to touch my child Safiya! ]

“No one touches your child.”

"Oh?"

[Humans can actually understand what I say? 】

"As you can see, I do understand. My name is De La Serre."

“Ah…”

[Only the prophesied chosen son of the dragon race can understand our language, De Lassel...]

"It seems that I am the child of prophecy."

“Oh.”

[Don't be so confident, or I'll throw you into the sea to feed the crocodiles. ]

"I was wrong, I'll just shut up."

Safiya was stunned by the scene before her. She had lived here for more than ten years.

Normally, I would judge Rollins' meaning by looking at his eyes and expression, and I couldn't understand what he was saying at all. I never thought that the baron in front of me could actually understand the dragon's words and communicate with it.
