As December gradually drew to a close, the first, second, and third generation crossbows were all in place on the walls of Adri. Soldiers wearing silver armor and helmets patrolled back and forth, and the walls were neat and solemn.
The smell of war has spread throughout the city.
Under the influence of the overall atmosphere, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but feel nervous and excited, but also a little bit uneasy. Although he knew that this blood moon did not cause major casualties, what if?
Oh, may God of Light bless you, Amen!
But before the blood moon came, Lin Xiaoman received bad news.
That day, the four of them had breakfast together, enjoying the last tranquility before the war. After putting down her knife and fork, the Duchess suddenly asked Ange, "Ange, what do you think of Miss Xia?"
"Ah?" Angel's face was full of confusion. He held a piece of bread in his mouth with a thoughtful expression, trying hard to think about who Miss Xia was.
Lin Xiaoman, who was also chewing bread, paused, his heart skipped a beat, and a group of alpaca galloped past.
It's over, she had a bad feeling.
"It's Miss Sia Capa." The Duchess, who knew what her son was thinking by looking at his expression, added, "You've met the Marquis Capa's eldest daughter the other day when you went to greet the Capa family when they entered the city."
"Oh, it's her." Ange breathed a sigh of relief after finally matching the person. He asked in confusion, "What happened to her?"
"The Capa family is very powerful. If you can marry Xia Capa, an alliance with them can ensure their loyalty, which is good for us." The Duke explained, sighing in his heart, with a bit of regret.
My son is capable, but he's a complete idiot. My daughter is smart, but only a trainee. As expected, you can't have both strength and intelligence.
However, one has his strengths and the other has his weaknesses, hey, he really gave birth to a pair of good children who complement each other perfectly.
"Ah?" Ange finally reacted, then thought carefully about Sia Kappa's appearance, chuckled, and nodded, "She's pretty good, I quite like her."
For Ange, as long as she is pretty, the rest is decided by her parents.
"Keith, after this blood moon ends, I'll first mention it to Madam Kappa. If they have no objections, you can then formally discuss it with Marquis Kappa, okay?"
"Okay, that's it." The Duke nodded with a smile, obviously very pleased with the marriage with the Kappa family.
Lin Xiaoman: A song "Liangliang" for myself.
Who is Sia Capa? She's the daughter of that old thief Capa who fell in love with Rex!
A word of MMP!
So the plot was automatically corrected to: Ang and Xia got engaged, and then Xia fell in love with Rex as in the plot, and then he came to grab the bride at the wedding, and duel?
The marriage partner changed to Xia, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being KOed by Rex?
hehe!
So she worked hard for most of the day, but it was all in vain!
No no no!
Efforts will definitely pay off!
Humph, I must be determined, certain, and must kill that old thief Kappa!
Less than three days after this little episode about the marriage proposal, the north wind howled, heavy snow fell from the sky, and then, suddenly... so abruptly, the whole world was covered with a thin layer of pink, and the snowflakes turned from pure white to pink.
The sun, covered by dark clouds, lost its last luster, and the red moon slowly approached at a speed visible to the naked eye, getting bigger and bigger, and the red light became more and more intense.
It gradually became darker from light red. Within 3 hours, the sky and the earth were blood red. The red moon was so huge that it seemed to be falling to the ground.
The blood moon battle officially begins.
With loud shouts, pots of flames were lit on the city walls. Archers, soldiers, crossbow operators, logistics personnel... everyone entered the first level of combat readiness.
Wearing simple tights, a "heart guard", his own small sword at his waist, and his own small medicine box, Lin Xiaoman went into battle lightly.
Oh, and also put on a big fur cloak to block the wind. It’s really cold and snowy in the winter!
Although she was only a lowly trainee, she was still considered a combatant, and the Duke and Duchess had no objection to Lin Xiaoman's proposal to join the battle on the city wall. However, she was his daughter after all, so in addition to the senior knight Finger, the Duke also assigned her the captain of his personal guard to protect her safety.
This captain of the guard is also an old acquaintance.
Viscount Modo is a knight and also a magician. However, his talent for magic is relatively poor. He is nearly 50 years old and is still a junior magician.
After the fall of Arred, Viscount Modo was the old knight who took the original owner on the escape. He finally arrived in the royal capital and died of illness.
When she saw Uncle Modo, Lin Xiaoman remembered a person she had forgotten about, the original owner's future scumbag husband - Knight Rock.
Oger is a country with clear hierarchies, and people are divided into different classes. If ordinary civilians want to improve their status, they either have to be smart and become a "master", such as Lin Xiaoman who invented the bed crossbow, or they have to be strong and join the army, and then be promoted based on their merits.
Being promoted based on one's own strength and becoming a knight means one has stepped into the ranks of the nobility.
The knights here are divided into two types, one is the free knight, who only accepts employment, and the other is the exclusive knight, who is loyal to the great nobles.
The knights affiliated with the Laurent family have all sworn an oath to the God of Light to be forever loyal to the Laurent family. Unless the Laurent family is destroyed, it is impossible for them to defect to another master.
In this country that believes in the God of Light, swearing allegiance under the witness of the God of Light is an oath, a lifelong commitment to loyalty, and most people will abide by the oath.
As the daughter of a duke, when Amy was 16 years old, Duke Laurent selected two knights as her exclusive knights, or simply put: bodyguards.
Rock is one of them.
Rock, who has sworn allegiance to Amy, is equivalent to her permanent bodyguard.
In Oger, where the hierarchy is clear, it is absolutely impossible for a duke's daughter to marry a knight, unless the knight has made great achievements and is eventually granted a title.
It was one thing that Amy was willing to marry him, but it was a violation of chivalry and a betrayal that Rock forced Amy to marry him.
What's even more asshole-like is that men, if they can't get what they want, they make a fuss, but if they get it, they become like shrews.
Rock, this scumbag, later hooked up with the daughter of a minor noble in the royal capital.
The original owner died young due to depression. One reason was that he was stimulated by Resk and Olena, and was angered by the scumbag Rock, which was definitely an important reason.
The original owner did not ask to kill the scumbag, and because she had not seen him for a long time, Lin Xiaoman forgot about the scumbag.
Now that I think about it...
Ugh, scumbag!
Anyone who betrays their oath to the God of Light is not a good person!
He must be dealt with.
This kind of scumbag is just the right person for her to use as a guinea pig for drug testing.
