Chapter 31 White Horse
"The Baron still hasn't woken up, please go back."

When Knight Loren saw the merchant Adrich running towards him again, he shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to refuse the other party's passage.

Considering that in just this morning, this was the fifth time the other party had come over.

Knight Loren, who thought he was not right, gave him some advice:
"Perhaps you should contact that Rhodes Knight and ask him to urge the Baron to let you pass."

Knight Loren's father was originally just an ordinary soldier of the kingdom. Thirty years ago, he followed "King" William to the north to open up the country.

He was awarded medals for his military achievements and eventually stayed in the Principality to become a knight lord here.

Although the family had lost their territory and had fallen into decline, Knight Loren grew up listening to his father's stories.

He still retains the glory of the knight family and respect for the royal family in his heart.

And that Knight Rhodes was the son of the noble Duke of Jianling, and had sacred royal blood flowing in his veins.

In Knight Loren's opinion, since the other party dared to come to the North, he chose to become a pioneer knight.

He must be a powerful knight with extraordinary skills, leading a glorious group of knights filled with experts.

So he couldn't understand Mansaru's stupid behavior of making things difficult for the other party, and just hoped that this matter would pass quickly.

"I have already informed that adult." Adrich glanced at him and sighed in his heart.

The rumor about Rhodes's gardener spread among the upper nobles of the kingdom.

Other people in the Northern Frost Principality have no channels to learn about it, and might be frightened by the name of the royal family.

Adrich, who works at Jianling Chamber of Commerce and understands the actual situation, does not hold out too much hope.

It's impossible to grow flowers in the North, so it would be good enough if the gardener knight could take care of himself outside. He really didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes.

Just as the two were silent, the sound of a horn from the watchtower made Knight Loren's face change drastically, and he hurried out.

Adlic wondered if this had anything to do with the caravan's predicament.

After hesitating for a moment, he kept a distance and followed.

At this time, the town was in chaos.

The soldiers ran back and forth, and the serfs in the town were driven to pick up dung forks and hoes, lowered their heads and ran towards the outermost wooden wall, ready to meet the enemy.

Women on the street kept hiding pots, pans, tables and chairs inside their houses, and then closed their doors out of fear.

Because what sounded was the war horn of Hekou Town.

It means enemies are coming!
"Damn it, someone tell me what's going on? Why is the war horn being blown?"

Baron Mansaru rushed to the wall, even wearing his coat inside out, and cursed.

He touched his crotch, and when he thought of Flynn's resentful look when he left, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Mansaru swore that if the horn was blown accidentally by some fool.

He would strip that idiot naked and hang him on the castle, making him regret being born into this world!
"Loren, didn't you hear me? Are you deaf!"

Seeing Knight Loren on the high platform staring out the wall in a daze, he walked up angrily.

When Mansaru was about to reprimand, he suddenly saw the scene a hundred meters outside the wall. At this moment, his eyes shrank in fear.

Outside the wall stood a team of more than thirty soldiers, with the leading knight's armor stained with blood.

On the surface of the armor, the metal scars left by the brutal battle were clearly visible.

Rhodes was not wearing a helmet, and Mansaru, who recognized him, was confused and didn't understand why this guy who was supposed to be dead was here.

But what really frightened him was the wooden pole erected in front of Rhodes.

The heads of more than seventy Wolf Chief soldiers were piled up next to a wooden pole.

Above them were the heads of six Wolf Chief warriors and six Iron-backed Black Wolves, which were neatly hung there, staring at him unwillingly!
"Rod, what do you mean by this? Why are you here with soldiers?"

The panic in his heart made Mansaru lose his composure, and he roared in the direction of Rhodes.

The striking head made him realize an unacceptable fact: in the planned attack, the ones who died were not the enemy but the soldiers of the Wolf Pack!

How is it possible? Mansaru couldn't believe it.

"Just two days ago, soldiers from the Wolf Chief tribe, led by six wolf cavalrymen, attacked my territory." Rhodes said calmly.

The sound rang clearly in the ears of the soldiers behind the wooden wall.

"They are dead, their heads are hanging here. Now it's your turn, Mansaru Winter, the traitor who leaked my information to the barbarians." Seeing his own soldiers, especially the Knight Loren beside him looking at him in astonishment, Mansaru forced himself to calm down.

"Enough!" he shouted. "Knight Rhodes, do you understand what you are saying? The heads of the barbarian soldiers are your honor, but that does not mean you can frame a baron of a duchy. This is the land of the Northern Frost Duchy!"

At this moment, Mansaru was actually glad that the Wolf Chief's soldiers were completely wiped out.

Because this way the other party would have no evidence to prove that they were colluding with the barbarians.

Given the current complex situation in Dragonbreak Fortress, the Grand Duke of North Frost and the Pioneer Knights are maintaining a fragile balance and not interfering with each other.

As long as there is no evidence, even if it is the royal family, what does it matter? The pioneer knights dare not touch him, the baron of the duchy.

Because that was a provocation to the Grand Duke, and no one could bear that anger.

He really had no evidence, and Rhodes watched Mansaru draw his sword, but he didn't need evidence.

The snowfield horse under him received the instruction and began to speed up with the neighing of horse hooves, running towards the wall of Hekou Town.

"Damn it, are you crazy?"

Seeing that Rhodes was charging here alone, Mansaru gritted his teeth and yelled to the soldiers around him, "Shoot!"

Knight Loren stood still, his eyes moving between Rhodes and Mansaru in doubt.

As for the other soldiers, they didn't know who the charging knight was, but they knew the horse he was riding.

That is the white horse on the coat of arms of Grand Duke Beishuang!

For a moment, only a few arrows shot past Rhodes from a distance.

Rhodes was not surprised by this situation.

When he was in Hekou Town half a month ago, he could clearly feel that Mansaru's control over the army was weak.

The symbol of the snowfield colt in the principality is no less than the golden hair of the royal family in the kingdom.

In the brief moment when the soldier hesitated, Rhodes had already crossed a distance of a hundred meters and arrived in front of the wall.

Raven Feather!

His body became light, and the snowy horse carried him up into the air.

Under the dazed gaze of the soldiers, he stepped over the three-meter-high wall.

When the horse's hooves hit the ground, a dazzling flower of ice mist bloomed, forcing the surrounding soldiers to retreat uncontrollably and make way.

Seeing Rhodes rushing towards him, Mansaru, sensing murderous intent, picked up the saber beside him.

"They are all a bunch of rubbish, stop him! Anyone who dares to retreat is a traitor, and his entire family will die!"

Seeing the soldiers retreating in fear, Mansaru became extremely angry.

Rhodes had already arrived in front of him, and the weapons of both sides collided.

"You, how dare you?" Looking at the sword blade piercing his chest, Mansaru couldn't believe that he would be defeated in an instant.

The look in his eyes before death was filled with reluctance and hatred.

He couldn't understand how the other party dared to kill him, a baron of the duchy, in front of so many people.

Rhodes watched him lose his life quietly, recalling his father's words in his mind.

If a butcher puts a knife to your neck, don't try to reason with him.

"Blade forward." Rhodes recited the family motto and drew out the sword.

Mansaru's body fell to the ground with a thud.

"I am Rod Rossdale, a descendant of the North Frost, and the knight of the white horse."

Rhodes turned around and looked at the soldiers around him who were holding weapons.

"Not long ago, my soldiers died in a barbarian raid. Their deaths should have been glorious, but were tarnished by shameful conspirators."

As he spoke, the snowfield colt behind him let out an angry cry.

"The Baron of the River Mouth Town, Mansaru Winter, this conspirator betrayed the principality and chose to collude with the barbarians. At this moment, under the witness of the white horse, I will execute him in the name of Beifrost."

"The rest of you lay down your weapons and I will forgive you for what happened."
