Chapter 280 Cold Breakfast (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)

"That's right." Leiter said, "So don't worry. I have enough power to protect myself in this cold wave defense line, and I will try my best to ensure the safety of my men."

Then, he added: "However, the battlefield is not a greenhouse. In the face of the cruel test of life and death, there is no such thing as absolute safety. We must face this storm fearlessly. I believe that by crossing this cruel sea, the Green family will face unprecedented challenges. Metamorphosis.”

"Unprecedented transformation..." Ruilai murmured to himself, chewing these words over and over again, and suddenly said: "Is your father planning to fight for the title of Grand Duke?"

Leiter glanced at Rylai and shook his head with a chuckle: "Yes, and no. The Grand Duke is just a symbol of our strength, but our strength does not depend on the Grand Duke..."

Seeing the smile on his father's lips and his calm tone, Rylai couldn't help but be exaggerated by this confidence and smile. In addition, after learning that his father was now a great mage, the pressure in his heart was relieved a lot, but he seemed to be thinking of other things and still said with a hint of worry:

"I believe that my father's strength will definitely overcome this difficulty, but the knights under him will have to sacrifice a lot..."

"You have to cross the ravine and face the heavy rain." Leiter was silent for a moment and said, "If everyone wants to escape, how can there be stability and peace."

Ruilai was silent for a moment and said with emotion: "It is true that ending a war with war is the most correct and effective way."

"Well, but in this war, you don't need to follow me."

"Why?"

"Dark Eagle City needs you more. After I leave, no one is more suitable to manage the territory than you."

"No, father, I want to follow you too!" Ruilai's face changed slightly and he said hastily.

"Child, be obedient." Leiter patted Ruilai on the shoulder, softened his tone, and said, "You have grown into a goshawk in your own right. You have your own sky. You don't need to follow me to practice every time. After I leave, , you can still play a role in stabilizing everything in the family.”

"After all, today's Dark Eagle City is not the same as Young Eagle Town when the war broke out in the canyon defense line five years ago. The territory has expanded several times, and the extraordinary number has increased dramatically. It needs more effective management! Different environments require different Different strategies. In today’s situation, if we just walk away, our internal risk control will be too poor.”

"This..." Ruilai looked quite unwilling, but he knew in his heart that what his father said was right, and he choked on his words for a moment.

Leiter continued: "I will let White Hat stay. As a sixth-level magician, I can suppress all unstable factors!"

"Huh." Ruilai took a deep breath and said, "I understand, then just follow what father said. If you have any needs, you must tell me in time."

"Well, you will help me draw up some letters later and pass them on to all the nobles in the southwest border, asking them to prepare military forces in advance in accordance with the kingdom's laws. When the kingdom's recruitment order is issued, they will gather in the grassland east of the Yak Jungle." Lei Te said thoughtfully. Yak Jungle is not far from Shenyan Village, and the terrain is open. It is convenient for gathering people and can also provide supplies. He thought of a good place.

Ruilai nodded and said: "Understood, I guess they have already started to prepare their forces. After all, this matter is important and no one will slack off."

With such a major incident happening, the two of them were no longer in the mood to continue hanging out. After briefly chatting about some details, they returned to Dark Rock Castle for breakfast.

Today is the weekend. Taylor and Mina are both in Dark Rock Castle. They came down the stairs and happened to see their father and Rylai coming in together. Thales said hello energetically: "Good morning, Father, Rylai."

Riley forced a smile: "Good morning, Taylor."

"Eh? Rilai, you seem to be in a bad mood. Why do you look so sad?" Thales looked at Rilai's downcast expression, and a trace of curiosity emerged in his heart. In his impression, Ruilai was very calm, able to deal with everything calmly, and rarely showed sadness, which was really rare today.

"Have you encountered something difficult? Mina, wearing an off-white dress, asked from the side.

Ruilai glanced at the two of them with complicated eyes and nodded: "That's right."

Mina pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you share it with us? We can also give you some suggestions."

"That's right, this is the first time I've heard of something that gave Rylai a headache, please share it with us." Taylor didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, but asked with interest.

“It’s not that I have a headache about the matter itself, but that I can’t do anything about it.”

Ruilai was silent for a moment, suddenly said something meaningful, and then sat down in his seat.

"What? It's inexplicable..." Thales blinked and looked at Rylai's back, confused.

Seeing that Taylor's face was still curious and wanted to ask more questions, Leiter waved his hand aside and said, "Okay, Taylor, I will make a unified announcement when everyone gets here. Please take a seat first."

"Okay, Father." Thales shrugged, holding Mina's hand and returning to his position.

Soon after, Tucker, Vanessa and Dick also came down, and after greetings a few times, they began to sit down. Seeing everyone gathered, Cook Maru began to push the dining cart through the passage, and the kitchen maid loaded the delicious dishes one by one. The dinner plate was brought to the table.

The dishes prepared this morning include steamed blueback crayfish, giant tooth scallops with garlic sauce, barbecued meat with frost-shell crab roe, seafood soup, vegetable and fruit salad, purple potato puree, braised rabbit meat, cured venison shank...

The table was filled with fragrance and steam. Tucker had already held a knife and fork in his hand, fully armed, waiting for the order to start eating, and then he started to eat the food in front of him.

"Children, don't rush to eat. There is an important thing to announce to everyone."

Rhett's voice broke the calm. He glanced at everyone's face and then said:

"We just received a message that the war on the cold front line has escalated. We were attacked by orcs who broke the rules and suffered heavy losses. The royal family is ready to attack in a big way. It is estimated that the conscription order will come down soon."

"Ah!" Mina covered her mouth in surprise and took a breath.

In panic, the tableware in her hand accidentally fell off and fell on the white plate, making a crisp tinkling sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent hall.

Ding Dong

"Father, father, how could the news come so suddenly? Is it really reliable? Could someone have made up a rumor?" Vanessa asked with a trace of worry. She felt her heartbeat speed up when she heard the news, and an invisible pressure was like a heavy stone, pressing on her heart.

"It's not a rumor. I can guarantee that the news is absolutely true. Many people in the southwest border have already known it." Rhett tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

Tucker opened his mouth and shouted: "Ah? According to this, after going to the battlefield, won't you be able to eat exquisite food!"

Vanessa heard this, rolled her eyes at Tucker, and said unhappily: "You only know how to eat. Don't you know the danger of the cold front? It's good enough to save your life, and you're still thinking about food..."

"Haha, as long as father goes, I will follow. With father here, there will definitely be no danger!" Tucker touched the back of his head and smiled honestly.

"I want to go too, I want to go too, I want to fight the orcs!"

Suddenly, a childish voice came from Vanessa's left. It was Dick waving his fists and shouting excitedly, his little face full of fighting spirit.

These two shouts eased the solemn atmosphere of the scene a little. The maids around the dining table also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again after hearing Dick's voice.

"Little Dick, you are brave. When you grow up, I will take you there again!" Rhett smiled gently.

Then he looked at everyone and said, "Speaking of which, when the call comes, as the Marquis of the Southwest Border, I must not sit idly by and must respond to the call for the Cold Current Defense Line."

"But...what if the Canyon Defense Line is unstable again?"

At this time, Klina rolled her eyes and asked, "Father is the Marquis of the Southwest Border, so he should pay more attention to the situation of the Canyon Defense Line, right?"

Rhett turned his head and said, "Aren't there the Brian family and the King family? In fact, my arrangement for the nobles of the Southwest Border for the call for the Cold Current Defense Line is that one of these two earl families will stay behind, The rest of the small nobles must be mobilized. "

"And the situation on the canyon defense line is very stable now. The orcs have no intention of increasing their offensive. Their forces against our Jinlun Kingdom are currently all concentrated on the cold current defense line, and it is impossible to disperse them to other fronts. "

Rhett explained a few words, then looked at everyone and said, "I have discussed with Ruilai just now. This time we go to the cold current defense line, Ruilai will stay in the territory, and Tucker and Taylors, you two will follow me to the battlefield. "

After the voice fell, the scene was briefly quiet, and the butler Sveta behind sighed softly, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Tucker said carelessly: "No problem, are you going to fight with father again? Ahaha, this time I must blow up the orcs' dog heads!"

"You should worry about yourself, don't brag!" Vanessa was helpless, turned to look at Rhett, and said with hope: "Father, this time we go to the battlefield, the blood of the Green family depends on your blessing, of course, you have to protect yourself."

"Don't worry, I will." Rhett nodded.

Mina's face next to him was even more worried. She looked at Thales and then at her father. In fact, she wanted to ask if Thales could make potions in the Alchemy Tower, but this excuse was too cowardly. She hesitated for a long time and didn't say it.

Thales scratched his head and said: "Father, this time... do you still want me to be the executioner?"

"Well, your strength is the weakest, so you should be an executioner. I will apply to the higher-ups, and this should be no problem." Rhett glanced at Thales and said.

Hearing this, Mina's beautiful eyes lit up, and her heart was filled with surprise again. She looked at Thales and said, "Yes, you can be the executioner!"

"This... Actually, I also want to follow my father to the battlefield." Thales said a little embarrassedly: "I have finally practiced spellcasting training for several months, and I just want to see the real war scene."

"No, you don't want to!" Mina, who was usually quiet, rarely showed anger, stared at Thales, and said, "If you want to go to the battlefield, then I will go with you!"

"Oh, no, don't be like this, Mina, how can you go..." Thales looked embarrassed.

"Okay, Thales, I will let you go to the front line next time I have the opportunity, and this time you will do it according to the order." Rhett waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone. Now that Thales is a second-level magician, if he is placed on the canyon defense line, he basically can't provide much destiny value, but fortunately it is the cold current defense line, and the strength of the orc captives is generally higher, so he can continue to provide some help!

Taylors looked at Mina's determined eyes and sighed helplessly, "Okay, father!"

After the simple arrangements, the family began to have breakfast together. However, due to the upcoming battlefield, many people were heavy-hearted and did not talk much. The atmosphere of this breakfast was somewhat deserted.

After breakfast, Rylai went to Dark Eagle City to deal with urgent matters, while Leiter took Tucker to the training ground.

After telling Tadel and Coors about the situation of the cold current defense line, the two people naturally looked extremely surprised. After thinking deeply, their eyes were filled with incomparable solemnity.

After a moment of silence, Tadel couldn't help but ask: "Lord, how many people do you plan to bring this time?"

"How is the strength of the knights in the training ground now? Let's report first." Leiter said thoughtfully.

"No problem." Tadel nodded and said: "Currently, there are thirty apprentice knights in the training ground, forty first-level knights, and twenty-three second-level knights. As for the third-level knights, they are all performing various patrols and Security mission.”

"Then bring all the second-level knights and first-level knights. In addition, among the knights patrolling the territory, nearly half of the second-level and third-level knights will also be allocated." Leiter said in a decisive tone. .

After hearing this, Coors was greatly surprised and said in confusion: "Lord, may this mean that the standing strength of our territory is somewhat insufficient?"

"No." Leiter waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and told the two of them about White Hat's strength.

Because White Hat has not been a member for a long time, Leiter has not revealed his strength to everyone before, and only a few people know about it.

But now, the two of them relaxed after hearing this, and there was a touch of surprise in their eyes. They didn't expect that the lord had a sixth-level magician under his command? This is absolutely shocking news!

They were originally worried that the lord was gone and the external situation in the kingdom was serious. At this critical juncture, there would be chaos in the territory. But if there is a sixth-level magician sitting in charge, it will be very different. Even if the standing patrol force is slightly relaxed, there will be no trouble.

"This time... it will be hard work for you two. You have had the experience once, and you must be more adaptable this time." Leiter looked at the other party directly and said: "If it is still the canyon defense line, I can directly bring a group of new people, but The cold wave defense line is different, I have to bring the old and new people together.”

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed, "Haha, what are you talking about, Lord Lord? If it weren't for your help in Bingtianxueli, we would probably be killed by the claws of the ice-spiked bear. It’s our duty to follow you on your journey.”
