Chapter 169 War(1/2)
"Emilya, if you don't want to be called by Heloise, I will reject her. The Kingdom of Gilt is using people, and she dare not turn against me."
When she got home, Ender talked about Heloise with his wife and finally said.
At worst, you can take your wife to fight with you. Although this is not safe, you can attack and retreat or defend. At worst, you can see that the situation is not good, and you can take your wife's feet with oil. With your martial arts skills, you can live well everywhere, but these foundations cannot be saved.
"Dear, I know this. His Highness Heloise has already told me about it." Emilia said, holding Ender's waist.
"How did you know?"
"Didn't I say some time ago that Veronica introduced me to join a noble women's alliance - the Rose Society? His Highness Heloise is the president of the Rose Society. This time she can become the surveillance princess, and the Rose Society has made great efforts."
——————————————
"Emilya, I have given you the title of the court baron in the name of Gilt." Heloise said, putting the unblacked knight sword in his hand on the shoulder of Emilya who was half kneeling in front of him.
"I will show my loyalty to His Highness Heloise!" Emilya said seriously.
"I look forward to your loyalty." Princess Heloise said, pulling Emilya from the ground.
She stared at Amilia's serious little face and suddenly laughed out loud: "Dear Amilia, don't be so serious, we are good sisters."
"I am your guard, Your Highness." Amilia said seriously.
"Okay, OK, it's not the first day we met. If you do this, Sir Ander will be even more worried." Heloise hugged Emiliya's shoulder intimately, pushed her around, and they leaned against her head and looked at Ander Tills standing next to her.
Ander Tills was tall, with a beehive arms and a beehive waist, a stern spine and a shoulder spread, a big red cloak hung on his shoulders, and his long legs were slightly apart. He stood there like a slight slight shaking his feet, as if nothing could push him a little.
But this person was posing with a bad face.
My silly wife is so happy to be taken to be a hostage, and of course Ender's face is not good-looking.
"Sir Ander, now Emilia's title is more than you. Aren't you happy for her?" Heloise teased.
"Hmph!" Ander snorted coldly.
Amilia broke free from Heloise's hug, walked to Ander, gently pressed her hand on Ander's chest, and whispered: "I understand, my dear, I must work hard for our future. Don't worry, my dear, I am safer than being a pioneer knight by your side."
As he said that, Amilia's voice became lower, like a mosquito and flies: "You must come back safely-"
If Ende had not surpassed the limits of human beings, he would not have heard such a whispering sound at all.
I wouldn't hear the sound of Amilia's tears falling on her chest and clothes.
Ander gently stroked Emilya's long hair and said nothing for a long time.
No one spoke in the entire enthronement room.
After a long time, the Bronck Knight couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Ender?"
"Huh, my dear, I'm leaving." Ander gently patted his wife's head.
"Yeah." Amilia stood up, took two steps back, and left Ender's arms.
Ander glanced at his wife deeply, then glanced at the eldest princess Heloise with warning, turned around and walked towards the door.
The big red cloak flew and danced as he turned around, and the door automatically opened on both sides. Ander Tills walked all the way and never looked back.
The Bronck Cavaliers quickly followed.
He is also a member of the vanguard, responsible for assisting Ander Tilles in control of the army. After all, everyone knows Ender's bravery, but no one has seen his ability to command and fight.
In that game in the arena, no one was injured on Ender's side and perfectly defeated his opponent with a record of zero casualties.
But that victory has nothing to do with Sir Ander Tilles's battlefield command ability.
——————————————
After the shadow of Ender was completely unseen, the bishop of the God of Battle, who witnessed, came over and congratulated with a kind smile on his face: "Baron Amilia, congratulations."
Behind the bishop, the court secretary closed the book of the registration of Amilia's identity and put it in his pocket carefully. The book of the book will be sent to the Elders' Courtyard for unified custody.
Although the value of the palace baron is far less valuable than that of the real Baron and is not recognized abroad, the rights in the Kingdom of Gilt (particularly in the kingdom and public areas) are equivalent to other real Barons - for example, when paying taxes, merchants pay for forty percent, and the jazz pays 30 percent, and the baron only pays twenty percent.
In addition to taxation, baron-level nobles are already considered real nobles and have other rights, including but not limited to lawsuits without having to attend, entering the social circle of real nobles, using their credibility as money, etc.
Amilia smiled on her face: "Thank you for your testimony, Bishop Roford, I will go to the temple of the God of Battle to worship later."
"Barl Emilya, this is what I should do. My Lord Krato will dominate all battles, which can help you, and will bless Sir Ander Wuwei Longsheng."
Ander Tills didn't think about how strong people who could reach such a state at this age were all arrogant and might think of the gods, but Amilia could still make a decision.
"Thank you, but I am already Ms. Altolan's apologist." Emilya declined.
"That's a pity." Bishop Roford said regretfully.
"Sister Amilia, if Sir Ander makes great contributions this time, I guarantee that he will refer to the precedent of the Wind Knight Vinson and become the Earl of the Palace."
Heloise walked over, grabbed Emilia's hand, walked towards the back door, and said, "Today, we have only two days to prepare - the faster we set out, the more we can handle them."
Amilia, this time we Rose will do our best to set a way out for ourselves. Without looking at the face of our husband's family, we can also become nobles."
"That's your thoughts, and Ender has never felt wronged me." Amilia was not very happy.
She joined this rose to expand her connections and lay the foundation for the Tilles family to gain a foothold in the capital.
There are strong women in the Rose Club, with many female professionals, which is the famous women's alliance in Kalantuo. But who would have thought that His Highness the Princess was so ambitious and took the opportunity to take the position of governor in one fell swoop. And now it seems that this is not the end of His Highness the Princess, and she seems to have some big plans.
"That's because you're married well." Heloise sighed: "Not many sisters can have the luck of you. If others don't try to take their destiny into their own hands, we will regret it when the destiny really comes."

The wind roars and the horse gallops.
Nearly five hundred war horses were divided into eight rows, with horse hooves rising and falling.
There are only less than 500 war horses, but because of their uniform formation, they have an invincible momentum during their marching.
A light cavalry squadron has about 200 people, and the specific number is expanded depending on the functionality. For example, their light cavalry squadron, which is a vanguard, has expanded the spell vanguard responsible for reconnaissance, a combat mage responsible for conveying information, and a archer team responsible for long-range strikes.
In order to march at the fastest speed, each person in this team was equipped with two horses except Ender. One horse carries manned and one horse carries supplies and armor.
"Mr. Ender, are we going to have a break? Your horse—" Bronck asked.
He was not worried that Ande could not stand it, but that Ande was worried about the frost wind giant horse sitting down.
This giant horse is known for its cold resistance, but the other side of cold resistance is that it is afraid of heat. Don’t be exhausted and die of heat from the body that cannot be dissipated.
Moreover, everyone rides on two horses, only this pioneer knight, Ander, rides on one horse.
"Go ahead thirty miles and rest for two hours, then change horses and move forward."
"Okay." The Bronck Cavaliers were kind-hearted, but since Ender himself said so, he would no longer ask.
When he reached the state of Ende, even if he knew nothing about riding, he could feel the state of a war horse under his crotch by relying solely on sensing. Since he said it was okay, it was no problem.

If a caravan full of cargo is on a flat road, it would be good to go twenty kilometers a day. If the terrain is bad, it would not be surprising that you can't walk five kilometers that day.
A well-trained army can travel forty kilometers a day under good road conditions. If it is forcibly marching day and night, it can travel for80 kilometers a day as fast as 10 kilometers a day.
The reconnaissance elite light cavalry squadron led by Ander is a highly trained elite cavalry with level three or above, including fifteen first-level knights, two middle-level knights, four spell vanguards, and two army combat mages, which is considered a super luxurious configuration.
Not to mention it is used for reconnaissance, even if it is a head-on confrontation, as long as the opponent is not a heavy cavalry or a heavy infantry, their reconnaissance team will defeat a fully armed team of thousands of people just like playing.
This is still the case when Ender doesn't take action.
"Where have we been?" In the temporary camp, Ander asked, looking at the map.
"Just passed by Bitterwoodland, the Homes Plain in front of it." Thorne, the spell pioneer who served as the scout, pointed at a point on the map with his finger, indicating that everyone's location was here.
Although this map is so simple that there are only a few graphics representing mountains, forests, rivers and cities, the scale is amazingly accurate. After all, it is a magical world. Although there is no tools such as contours and scales, there is still a set of rules to draw maps.
"We have traveled 540 kilometers in these three days? Are there still 300 kilometers from Querren City?"
Every war horse in their team is a carefully selected ice-scale horse.
The ancestors of this war horse were more like donkeys than horses. They were only infected by the aura of the remains of the ice dragon and mutated.
Although it cannot be said to be a monster, it is more courageous than ordinary war horses, has stronger endurance, eats less, and is both satisfied with speed and explosive power.
However, although it has mutated, its size is still relatively small and its load-bearing ability is average, so it can only be used as a light cavalry mount and cannot afford the knights wearing full heavy armor charge.
(The Frost Wind Horse is an authentic monster, but its explosive power is a bit a bit useless, so it can only be used as a horse, so many people do not regard this kind of horse as a monster.)
Horse Grain is an alchemist refining pill, which can provide all the nutrition without carrying a lot of forage - of course, taking this pill for a long time is not good for war horses, but it is impossible to care about such an emergency.
"If the king is still alive and is escaping toward the Kingdom of Gilt, we may encounter them at any time from now on." said Mint, the wizard of the army.
"How can we ensure that we will not miss His Majesty the King?" Ender asked.
"It is impossible to guarantee that, but if the king has not fallen into the opponent's hands and there are a certain number of pursuers, we may not be able to meet the king, but it is not difficult to find the pursuers."
"How many pursuers do you think do you have?" Ender turned around and asked the Bronck Knight, who had the most experience in war here.
"King Osverde took 20,000 soldiers to go to war. After joining the Marquis of Clarence, there were 30,000 soldiers. According to the last news from the mage of the army, when Marquis Clarence led the king to break through, the royal guards and the Ice Dragon Knights were well organized. I estimate that the king still had at least 3,000 elite troops around him. If you want to chase the king, the other party must dispatch at least 20,000 troops."
Speaking of this, everyone's faces are not very good-looking.
No matter how elite their team is, Sir Ander, no matter how brave he is, he doesn't have to think about dealing with the 20,000 troops.
"Thank you for your hard work tomorrow, everyone will have a good rest tonight and be ready for the fight tomorrow."
Ender ordered that everyone responded to their orders, and as the pioneer knight, he had the final say here.
