Chapter 228 Encountering the Queen’s Wedding?

The table was filled with barbecue, stacked high.

The villagers of Cuigang were well aware of their current situation, so they took out all their reserves. The barbecued meat, which was filled with the aroma of fruit wood, was roasted on the fire until it sizzled and oozes oil, and finally served on the table in plates.

The meat may seem like a lot, but with dozens of big knights here, they can eat ten times as much meat.

Together with the residents of Cuigang, there were nearly two hundred people crowded together.

Linde didn't want to hold a sudden "celebration". Not only him, but also the soldiers. They could easily capture such villages time and time again, as easy as drinking water. There was nothing worth celebrating.

Linde was just happy to hear the news about the Blackfire brothers. Rather than celebrating, it was more important to replenish his energy and prepare for the battle.

He still had some dissatisfaction towards the people in the Snake Fortress, and the communication between the two sides was always reserved.

The reason why Shizi was unwilling to tell him the truth might be related to his intention to pass through the fortress. If Lind knew at that time that the Blackfire brothers were located in the central area, he would definitely pass through the fortress and no one could stop him.

I believe Shizi has a similar understanding.

But the person is dead, everything is over, and there is no point in saying those things to the dead.

The place was quiet.

The soldiers were in awe of Lind and even tried to control their breathing. They could feel a fire burning in the lord's body, which meant that they were likely to participate in another battle.

The villagers of Cuigang were caught in this sudden banquet. The scene of their leader being easily killed was still fresh in their minds. There were dozens of such powerful soldiers on the scene. They rode evil ponies with fangs, with bald strange birds circling above their heads and leading skinny but ferocious hunting dogs.

The beautiful golden armor and the terrifying evil pets are heart-pounding, and the figures who are in awe of such a group of terrifying beings, just standing there, make people draw countless terrible legends in their hearts.

If this meal is not enough, will I become one of the ingredients?

The other party was wearing a set of golden armor and a cloak on his shoulders, just like he was carrying a flag. The armor pattern on his chest twisted and condensed, like a simplified lion. It was so powerful that one could not help but feel weak in the knees.

Lind did not suppress his aura. When the five kinds of knight power bloomed in his body, even the Star Dragon soldiers were dazzled.

The only one busy at the scene was Miss Doris, whose pen was very busy. She thought these scenes were very worth recording.

"This is our first time returning to the central region," Lind said. "But I got some bad news. Don't worry, I won't talk too much."

The atmosphere among the soldiers relaxed a little, but everyone was more concerned about the "not so good news". If the lord could say it was not good, something must be wrong.

"What awaits us is not only disaster, but also a rebel party with complicated forces. The power of Star Dragon City may appear very fragile in the face of this force." Although Lind was reluctant to discourage morale, it was very irrational to go to war with the Song White Knights of Yongshuang Land with arrogance.

Lind did not intend to hide the strength of the enemy they were about to face, nor would he deliberately exaggerate it. They had defeated countless enemies along the way, so they just had to face them head-on.

Doris thought that she had roughly understood Lind's character through previous contacts. Long before this, she only had a slight impression of Lind. If Lind would marry Hedwin and become a prince, perhaps his name would appear frequently in her records, but later Lind was engaged to Miss Tionne, the taciturn, gentle and tall girl.

The two sides had almost no contact, and the daughter of a non-hereditary knight was not worthy of a future baron. Although Arman was only a hereditary baron, they were eligible to enter parliament, which made Arman's power even stronger than most viscounts.

She had never heard of their love story, but she was very curious at the time. As a recorder, one should always remain curious.

When they met again, she was basically certain that Linde must be coveting Miss Tione's beauty. It was not unspeakable to want to sleep in the same bed with a gentle and elegant lady, and Linde never hid her thoughts. She admitted that she did not reject this feeling.

But now the contact at the dinner table surprised Doris.

It's not that he revealed the morale-destroying information, because if you stay here long enough you will definitely hear that information, but his attitude.

Aggressive?

She thought it was a very good adjective.

It was as if something was chasing him, forcing him to start the next war immediately.

"We don't have much time. I need to get to the Dark Night Orchard within 7 days, capture Brother Blackfire, and then leave!" He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was talking about a trivial matter whose ending had already been determined.

His strong self-confidence made Doris hold her breath.

His golden hair, handsome and tough face, and the strong confidence that radiated from him at that moment were as dazzling as gold, making Doris feel dazzled.

She was sure that he had not yet displayed this charm when she met Lind by chance at the palace.

"Let's take action after we finish this meal," Lind continued, "I'll lead the team!"

The barbecue was a little cold, but the soldiers ate it with relish. The sizzling sound of the meat squeezed out by their teeth made them swallow their saliva.

Seeing this, the Cuigang villagers also tentatively reached out to grab a piece of meat. No one cared, they really could eat it.

It is easy to get closer at the dinner table and the atmosphere becomes very harmonious.

They did not stay in Cuigang for too long. They came in a hurry, killed the leader of Cuigang, had a meal, and left.

This casualness seems to say that we can leave at any time and come back at any time.

"Are you sure you want to follow?" Lind looked at Doris. She was wearing a long dress, which should have been brought out from the palace. The purple-dyed dress bulged out on her towering chest, revealing her white bra, and there was also a necklace that made people curious about its specific appearance.

She dressed very modestly, but still maintained the basic etiquette of a court lady.

"I am also a wizard," Doris emphasized. "If you need magical help, I can help you. I am good at listening. As your recorder, I should always follow you, including on the battlefield."

She was a little excited when she spoke: "I hope to be able to record every victory of yours in person. Every great lord needs a recorder. I will record your greatness and compile it into a book to be passed down to future generations."

"In fact, I really hate reading biographies of lords," Lind complained, "They don't even know how to brag about their historical achievements."

Who could understand that he finally found a book, thinking it was a collection of poems from a certain belief or religion, but after opening it he discovered that it was actually a leisure book recording the boring life of a lord.

Especially that day when a fight broke out in the village over a bucket of honey, it made his scalp tingle.

After a pause, Lind emphasized: "I have not yet inherited the title."

He was a lord and sole heir, already a baron in every sense of the word, but he was not yet a baron, so there was no need for him to have a war correspondent.

"You have fought your way back from the north, and you have won countless honors." Doris didn't want to be left behind. She had had the opportunity to leave before, but it was not until she saw Lind's power that she became firm in her mind.

He possesses strong enough power. Although Doris identifies with her profession and is prepared to devote her life to it, it does not mean that she wants to die.

Otherwise, why didn't Doris go to find Her Majesty the Queen? The dangerous journey was one thing, and another reason was the hostility of the new nobles towards the old nobles. She knew very well that if the two sides really went to war, Her Majesty the Queen would undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, hiding quietly in Cuigang is more in line with her survival strategy.

She was still trying to convince Lind, organizing her words.

"Do you scream when you're scared?" Lind asked again. "What?" Doris felt offended. She had seen many battles before.

Doris, who had been responding calmly, had her cheeks slightly reddened with anger. She discovered that the lord she had just decided to serve seemed to have a bad character.

"This is a battle." Lind seemed to like Doris's embarrassed look and had a smile on his face.

He was teasing her on purpose, but the meaning behind his words was very clear.

"I will not allow deserters to exist," Lind said, "even if you are a chronicler. But you can rest assured that I will not die before they are all dead."

He just pointed at the soldiers around him.

A lord actually said such a thing?

Doris thought Lind was crazy. No matter how cowardly a noble lord was, he would avoid making such remarks. But when she turned to look at the soldiers, she found that they held their heads high with expectation in their eyes, as if this was an honor for them.

"And you won't die until I die."

"You are invincible!" Doris no longer had the calmness she had when she first met Lind. She felt the strong self-confidence in the man in front of her, but she didn't know whether he was confident in his invincibility or confident in protecting himself.

"I will record your..."

"Let's go. We still have a long way to go and we can't delay for a moment."

Doris was unable to share a horse with Lind, and although sharing a horse with a beautiful woman would add some pink to the journey, it would also slow down the march.

She sat on the reserve carriage carrying supplies, next to the iron barrel.

It took them seven days and nights to reach the Dark Night Orchard after starting from Cuigang.

But before that they will encounter many disasters.

Doris tried hard to demonstrate her professionalism and ensured that she was not like what Lind said, who could only scream "ahhh".

"There are a group of pipers ahead." Doris felt dizzy after the bumpy journey.

Calamity horses do not feel tired, but compared to war horses they are sometimes like leopards or lions, running up and down on the bumpy road with cruel and sharp claws.

Doris began to remember what she had eaten this morning, and the food was already welling up in her throat.

It was a circus, and they were wearing colorful costumes and holding recorders in their hands.

The sound of music that made people sound anxious drifted over with the wind.

As the poster girl of the "Novice Village", Doris has some information from the undead, such as the Pied Piper, who block the road.

What's even more annoying is that these guys are difficult to kill and can only be driven away, and the Pied Piper is very fast.

The entire team did not stop for a moment. The golden knights rushed forward like a surging golden river, completely drowning the piper.

Doris was stunned. She didn't try to disperse or control the attack, but was simply overwhelmed.

The flute player that the undead were complaining about just disappeared without a trace.

The team continued to move forward, but Doris became quiet. She was very sure that she had boarded a large ship that was sailing.

The entire team kept moving forward at a high speed, and Lind did not really intend to smash everything. He would choose to take a detour around some troublesome objects, but he would record everything.

In the early morning after the third day and night.

Doris got up from the tent. Although Lind said that he would never stop to rest during the rapid journey, he still chose to stop and rest halfway through the journey.

Her skirt was more wrinkled than ever before, but Doris felt that this morning was a rare good mood for her recently.

She slept very comfortably.

"Is there a town ahead?" Lind was already unfamiliar with the unrecognizable central area. He had walked so far but still could not see the iconic places that appeared in his memory.

But the rising city walls caught his attention, with flags on them that he had never seen before.

"The territory of Lord Baia," Doris said, "the former territory of the Duke of the Mountain Trolls."

"Mountain goblin..." Linde chewed on the word. It was not the first time he heard it, but it still sounded a little uncomfortable for him. He didn't know what nickname he would get. Oh, he already had one, Lin Dog.

"We are just passing by." Lind did not intend to have any interaction with Lord Baya. The soldiers on the city wall obviously noticed them and looked at them warily.

The Lander Kingdom's infantry armor is easily recognizable.

"Go, go."

The team moved on.

But not long after leaving, Doris said, "I heard something."

Although Doris has mentioned her ability as a narrator many times and that she can hear many secret things, her skill of "eavesdropping" has never been used.

Her voice was not too loud, but if everyone present was not at least a great knight, her voice would have been drowned out by the sound of horse hooves and wheels.

"What?" Linde slowed down slightly and moved side by side with the carriage she was sitting in.

"It seems that Lord Baia is about to hold a wedding with Queen Rania."

"Oh?" Lind was surprised. He really wanted to watch the fun, but unfortunately he had more important things to do.

So the Lord of Baia is the winner in life. He killed the duke he was loyal to, obtained the other party's territory, and finally married the queen.

Can it be considered as reaching the pinnacle of life?

"anything else?"

"Someone mentioned the Snake Catcher's Fortress," she said.

"what?!"

"That thing," she said, "someone said that thing."
