Chapter 272 Knock Hard Down

Wangdu Uglu.

Spring finally came to this thousand-year-old city, and the warm spring breeze passed through the city, driving away the last chill of winter.

Suddenly, there were many more colors on the street. Those noble ladies and ordinary girls changed into thick winter clothes and colorful spring clothes. Their silver bell-like laughter and graceful postures added countless bright colors to this ancient city.

And a victory news from the north brought Uglu into the carnival atmosphere.

On the Far North Icefield, the expeditionary army composed of the Far North Guards and 100,000 territorial troops defeated the barbarian allied forces and killed 100,000 barbarians at the cost of 35,000 soldiers killed in battle, and 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, and advancing the dividing line of the two sides to the north for a hundred miles. This was one of the most glorious victories of the Kingdom of Bemon in decades. The severely damaged barbarians retreated to the depths of the ice field, the most important harbor forest. The port of Sk was directly exposed to the threat of the Bemon Legion.

Although he achieved unprecedented results, this time the commander of the Bemeng Legion was not carried away by the victory, did not rush into the enemy, but consolidated the defense line step by step.

This is because in the previous wars, the barbarian army annihilated the adventurous Bimon army more than once. They used horsebacks to disturb the supply line of the Bimon army, used the tactic of dividing the encirclement, and repeatedly made the Bimon army suffer great losses.

Of course, the Bemon orcs will not make such a mistake again.

The superior Far North Garrison can completely use the tactic of boiling frogs in warm water to continuously attack and harass the barbarian tribes, dragging their opponents into endless war of attrition and tug-of-war. The barbarians with great vitality are 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 victory came back to Uglu, how happy the millions of residents of Wangdu were, and the protracted war with the barbarians in the far north paid them a lot of price and made many people tired.

Now I can finally take a breath.

So people walked out of their homes and walked to the streets, singing and dancing to celebrate the victory, and the whole king fell into a sea of joy.

At this time, Leon and Corinna, as well as the convoy of priest Shiling and a team of temple knights, quietly left Ugru and embarked on the journey to Sarling.

When he left, Leon's title was promoted from viscount to earl, and he had a vast new territory, which really ranked among the senior nobles of the kingdom.

In just a few years, he was promoted from a commoner to an earl. Although this is not unique in the history of the kingdom, it is a height that countless nobles can hardly reach in their lifetimes.

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

If he hadn't led the Thunder Beast Brigade to attack Linsk Harbor and destroy the supplies of the barbarians, the barbarians would not have been in a hurry to seek a decisive battle with the expeditionary force, and the result would have suffered a great defeat.

With the credit of Leon, it is logical to be promoted to the count. If it hadn't been for his identity as a temple, the title would have fallen on him long ago.

Even if he was suppressed, Leon's promotion to the count was handled in a low-key way, but he still attracted too much attention in the royal aristocratic circle.

People enjoy talking about the life-and-death duel between Leon and Sayat, marveling at the amazing wealth he has gained, talking about the losses of the Rhine family with regret, gloating and so on, gossiping about the affairs between Leon and Corinna... All these things make Leon feel a lot of tangible and invisible pressure, so he Decisitively decided to leave Uglu.

The water in Wangdu is too deep, and the undercurrent is surging. If you don't pay attention, you may be crushed to pieces.

His idea was supported by Corinna.

Since Corinna came forward to negotiate with the Duke of Barkley, she has been regarded as a traitor to the Rhine family and has no longer been seen in the aristocratic circle.

But Corinna not only did not have any loss, but also had a sense of relaxation from the cage. She just wanted to leave with Leon and go to Sal for a free life.

As for Xiling, the beautiful daughter of the Siwo family and the brightest pearl of the kingdom, few people knew that she went to Salling for trial, and all of them kept their mouths shut.

She changed into an ordinary robe and covered her peerless face with a veil. Even the temple knights who served as guards disguised as mercenary warriors and kept a low profile to the extreme.

Because once she is found to have left Uglu, I really don't know how many admirers will follow her crazily. Those young and impulsive knight pursuers are enough to form a hot-blooded army to defend their dream lover.

In such a situation, it is Leon and Xiling herself does not want to see, otherwise her trial will become a farce.

A small fleet of less than 20 people galloped along the road to the south. After a five-day journey, it reached the border between Shengyao Province and Southwest Province.

In the carriage with little space but luxurious interior, Corinne carefully rummaged through the thick books in her hand on the soft couch. Reading is her hobby and the best way to pass the boring time of long-distance travel.

The priestess in the same car with her is not so peaceful. From time to time, she lifts the curtains and appreciates the scenery of the outside world.

Spring is the most beautiful season in the glorious continent. In this sparsely populated place, the mountains in the distance, the wildflowered wilderness and the small rivers winding through the plain are all pleasant scenery.

It's just a similar scene. It's enough to be annoying to watch it for a few days, but the swan lady still maintains a strong interest. Even a few bison running past the road will attract her curious eyes.

For this, Corinne can more or less understand, because this beautiful girl has left Uglu for the first time since she was a child. She is like a flower cultivated in a greenhouse and has never experienced the baptism of wind, rain and snow in the outside world.

So on the road of cultivation, Xiling, who has a very high talent, has encountered a bottleneck and can't break through in a critical place.

Therefore, the high priest Farns, who is a mentor, let her go to the trial of the Saar. The south of the Saar is the Nucang River, the wild forest and the Great Swamp area in the west, and the dark place in the north, which is the best place for the shaman's trial.

"Miss, after crossing the river in front of you, you will travel to the southwest!"

A temple knight immediately paralleled the carriage and reported to Xiling, "It's getting dark. Let's camp by the river at night!"

This temple knight is in his forties. Although his figure is not particularly burly, it shows the fierce breath of the wolf knight. The dark brown wolf eyes are full of divine light, giving people a deep and unfathomable feeling.

His name is Lex. Wolf is the captain of the Cavaliers.

In order to escort Xiling to Salling safely, the Holy Mountain Temple sent a total of 12 temple knights.

Although the number of people is not large, the twelve temple knights are all good, and the worst is the strength of a three-level madman, and as the captain, Lex is a five-level soul ring warrior.

According to the arrangement of the high priest Fanes, this team of temple knights will accompany Xiling until she completes the trial, and Lex will also serve as the instructor of the Thunder Beast Regiment, teaching all aspects of the skills of the warriors of the regiment.

Serious, rigid, serious... In this knight, the advantages and disadvantages of the temple knight coexist, and his loyalty and persistence are also respected by Xiling.

"Okay!" The girl nodded.

After leaving Uglu, she took off her veil and didn't know what means she used on her face. Her face became much more ordinary, at least it would not cause trouble to be seen by others.

"Sister Corinna, isn't it annoying for you to be with me? Why don't you go to Count Leon? The girl turned her head and asked with a smile, "I think he really wants to be with you!"

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

It's only until now that she knows that under the angelic innocence of the girl priest, there is a restless devil's heart.

Perhaps the serious atmosphere of the Holy Mountain Temple suppressed her surname, so when she left there, her original surname was exposed.

Along the way, she asked Corinna curiously about the history of her relationship with Leon, such as how she met? Is love really so fascinating? Is there any problem with Leon? There are some problems that made Corin feel blushing and heartbeat, but the little girl opened her big innocent eyes, as if she didn't know how embarrassing these topics were.

"Yes..." Corinna closed the book and said with a smile, "I'll sleep in a tent with him at night!"

"That's not okay, Sister Corinna..." Xiling laughed and jumped into Corin's arms, stretched out her little hand into her dress, and skillfully stroked the towering mountain: "I like to sleep with you in my arms. Yours is so big!"

This little devil! Corinne bit her lip and stared at her with hatred.

When she was touched by her hand, it was a completely different feeling from Leon, which made Corinna feel a very strange feeling in her heart.

But Corinna is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and her backhand also pressed Xiling's chest: "Uh-huh, yours is a little smaller!"

What she didn't expect was that her little counterattack made the swan girl close her eyes, stretched out her snowy and white neck, and let out a thrilling moan.

Unexpectedly, she leaned over and kissed Corinne's lips.

Corina was stunned.

At this time, the carriage stopped.

The door of the carriage was suddenly pulled open, and Leon poked his head in.

"You can..."

The scene in

made his voice stop abruptly!

"Ah! ~”
