Chapter 446 Don't Worry, Your Highness. The Viscount Is Not Dead Yet.

It's a pity that no matter how superb his words were, he still made a fatal mistake in the end.

——He shouldn't have asked this question.

So Chongshan immediately grasped this topic that could be used to make a big fuss, pouting the mustache on his lips, his face full of emotion.

"Yeah! That's right, that's why I brought many mages who are good at fire magic this time!"

"Don't worry, friend, with the help of fire magic, everyone will definitely not be frozen due to the storm. Please, please come with me!"

Jusen:? ? ?

At this point, he could only nod as he accidentally dug a hole for himself.

"Of course..."

Although Duke Jusen, who was originally here to fish, only brought 20,000 people with him on this trip, he joined forces with Chongshan and there were a full 60,000.

So when the third prince who finally escaped found them by accident, the young man almost jumped up with joy.

But he still failed to jump up after all, not because he was steady, but because he still had to face the doubts of the two grand dukes.

——"Your Highness, why did you come here with so many people? Have the enemies retreated?"

"Ah this."

But this didn't bother Lao San. Sadness immediately appeared on his face, and he punched his thigh angrily.

"To be honest with you two Grand Dukes, we held on for seven full days. We had run out of ammunition and food and had no choice, so we launched a breakout in the evening..."

After beautifying what just happened from his own perspective, the third prince successfully redefined his betrayal of his teammates into a tragic story of "the loyal soldiers actively sacrificed themselves and gave me this opportunity to escape".

"Oh, so that's it. Your Highness, please express your condolences."

The two dukes naturally knew what was going on, but they did not criticize him and accepted his statement obediently.

But sometimes things in this world are really coincidental, as if fate was deliberately playing up the effect of the show.

Before they finished speaking, they discovered that thousands of scattered figures in extremely embarrassed shapes appeared in the direction from which the third prince came.

A group of cavalry scouts immediately set out to check. After a while, they returned here with a few timid guys.

Grass!

The third prince had an ominous premonition in his heart. When he saw that familiar face, he cursed secretly and rushed forward to stop him.

"General Feng En! Why are you here? Could it be that you also successfully broke out? How are they doing?"

Although he mainly cried and howled, the third prince's words were full of emphasis, and the hand holding Feng En's shoulder was even more forceful.

But in fact, even if he didn't hint like this, Feng En could still understand what His Highness meant.

So after reaching out to wipe away the ice particles and embarrassment on his face, no matter how bitter his expression was hidden under the wind and frost, he could only nod at this moment.

"Your Highness, it's Viscount Christine! She exchanged her life for our lives!"

When the third prince heard this, he was shocked, heartbroken, and shouted loudly.

"How could this be so, how could this be so!"

The two dukes quickly lifted up the third child, who was about to fall down, and said repeatedly.

"Your Highness, don't panic, what happened?"

The third prince was in great mourning, his face full of sorrow.

"The two princes don't know something. During this trip, this prince met an extremely brave and skilled general..."

Good guy, this is really adding fuel to the fire!

It can only be said that the third son really can't stand it and goes to tell stories under the overpass. In a few moments, he almost made Christine the most loyal and loyal warrior god in the world.

Of course, the main reason why a noble like him, who has his own interests in mind, is willing to give medals to a dead man is mainly because these honors can be returned to him twice as much.

Therefore, at least until he heard Feng En say, "Your Highness, don't worry, His Excellency the Viscount is not dead yet," the third son was still crying hard at the grave.

"ah?"

I have to say that the nobles in the deep forest are really good, they are indeed more qualified than the ones in the glow.

To be able to show such overflowing surprise even on a face that was full of tears was a wonder in the world.

Feng En naturally knew that what he said was tantamount to insulting His Highness's face, and even worse, it was a slap in his face.

But now the matter is urgent and I really can’t control that much.

He could only kneel down with a plop, perform a double-knee salute that nobles generally would not do, and said in a loud voice.

"The loyal Lord Viscount is still leading our brave warriors to fight endlessly, so we still have a chance to make a comeback!"

"Your Highness, please give me the order!"

The general's words were sonorous, but the third prince did not speak in a hurry, but quietly looked back at the people behind him.

There is no way, even if I was high-spirited before, I only had more than 10,000 soldiers. Now that I am under the eaves, I should keep my head down...

Chongshan is pretending to be dead to delay time, but Duke Jusen, who is essentially a traitor, is ready to pull the big one.

So he stepped forward and responded loudly.

"I heard that His Highness is known for his kindness. It must be because he has established a very close friendship with his subordinates."

"Such friendship is so precious, so now that your soldiers are suffering on the battlefield, I, as a minister, naturally can't make it difficult for you."

"So Your Highness, please give me the order. We will definitely do our best to help you, loyalty and sincerity!"

But he was so happy that he was shouting, and Chongshan beside him was really numb.

——Nima, when it comes to being obedient, it’s only “I”, but when it’s our turn to contribute, it’s “us”, right?

As for the reason why he kept silent, it was also very simple. Although it sounds abnormal, according to the interests of the [Third Prince Chongshan] group, not going or going later is actually the best strategy.

Including why the Third Prince cried like his father died when he mistakenly thought Christine was dead.

Because the "dead" can't speak, no matter how powerful she was when she was alive, now she can only be used as a gun by the living and can be manipulated at will.

But now.

Okay, you are kind and righteous, you repay the favor, you rescued her, and then what?

You have already sold the person, you can't bet whether there is a knot in the other party's heart that can completely break the friendship.

So if you praise? It's easy to make enemies, if you don't praise? It's easy to be criticized, and then it will be a dilemma.

It's better to bite the bullet and delay time, wait for that person to be killed by the grassland people, hey, now...

Hmm? Oh, who here is clean? You're not afraid of getting blood on your body, are you? It's not a big deal.

The only loophole is that Duke Jusen is also there. This guy is likely to keep the fact that they betrayed the Viscount secret.

But...

So what?

As I said before, a dead person is a gun for a living person.

Even the ancestor of the Deep Forest, Giuseppe, can't escape this law, let alone a small Viscount?

When the second brother finds out that this bullet is not actually easy to use, time will help them to wear out everything, don't worry!

So...

So they know this, how could Duke Jusen not know it?

You don't want me to cheat you, right? What a joke, if I don't cheat you, how can I explain to His Royal Highness the Second Prince?

So he began to frantically frame the Third Prince and Duke Chongshan, constantly exerting moral pressure on them.

Seeing that they were still hesitating and refusing, he simply slapped his thigh and shouted.

"Come here, where is General Kraut?"

A male dragon with red scales on his body came out from the army behind him and saluted with a snap.

"Dear Duke, your loyal Kraut is always here!"

Duke Jusen nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, this duke likes tough soldiers! If they are dragging their feet, what a disgrace!"

Duke Chongshan: Mom, there is something behind your words, right!

The Third Prince: Who is a coward? Who are you calling a coward? Who are you calling a coward!

But Duke Jusen could not hear their inner subtext, and just raised his whip.

"Since the Third Prince and Lord Chongshan are more cautious, let us explore the way for them."

After that, he pointed at the blurred figure that was still jumping in the depths of the wind and snow.

"Giant Forest Army, listen up! Everyone, follow me to the battle!"

"Got it!"

How could the Dragonborn general not understand what his master meant? He immediately began to deploy his troops and set off in less than half a minute.

"Hey, you, hey, hey!"

Lao San and Chong Shan were grinning at his move - this really put them on the fire!

Just when they were about to follow the group, who knew that the damn fate had not yet been exhausted, because people came again in front.

And this time, the sound of horses' hooves was also messy. Considering that there should be no second batch of cavalry carrying the Deep Forest flag on the battlefield, it can only be...

"Your Excellency, the Viscount, look, it's His Royal Highness the Prince, he brought two Dukes to rescue you!"

In theory, Christine, who was already trapped in the enemy's camp, had no chance of breaking through. In Maxim's original plan, it was enough to save only her.

But who asked the Deep Forest Army to come? He gritted his teeth and covered the entire cavalry regiment to run over this distance.

After all, he knew the character of the third prince too well. It was impossible to expect him to save you on his own initiative. He must be forced to save you.

After seeing Christine, the third prince once again performed Sichuan Opera face-changing and immediately took the credit for saving her.

That's right, this prince did not run away. This prince went out to meet the two dukes to save you (tough)!

? ? ?

Duke Chongshan: Well, then I must follow his words, otherwise?

Duke Jusen: Oh awesome, this is all credit.

General Feng En: Haha, what else can I say? Okay.

Everyone chose to remain silent without any prior agreement, and the situation did not allow them to hesitate any longer.

Because the main force of the grassland people came closely following the cavalry.

At this time, the total number of troops on both sides on the battlefield had exceeded 100,000, and the gray-black color covered the earth, which was truly connected to the earth and the sky.

If they fight again, it will surely shock the world and make ghosts weep. It will be a bloody battle that will be recorded in the history of Deep Forest.

——So they didn't fight until the end.

Because after taking the people they surrounded as prisoners, the Pemos people slowly retreated in the low grassland ballads.

"This... what is this?"

The Deep Forest soldiers who were ready to fight looked at each other, and no one could understand what the enemy was doing.

But some elite backbones have already contacted their colleagues and senior officials, preparing to unite and hunt down the grassland people together.

After all, no matter what they want to do, since they dare to turn their backs on us, the Deep Forest people must rush up and bite off a piece of meat. This is the ancestral precept!

However, unexpectedly, facing the happy situation of these 60,000 elites attacking more than 40,000 tired soldiers, the superiors did not issue any orders.

Because why?

Why should I, Jusen, as a member of the second family, help you achieve a hearty victory?

Indeed, this may be good for me, but a quick look at the history books will show that the fate of the betrayed camp is very ugly.

This is also the fundamental reason why, although five hundred years have passed, the twenty-four northern duke families still exist, but not every one of them can still be worthy of the "grand" character of the Grand Duke.

You are kept for everyone's face, and you are excluded because you are really shameless.

So in the face of this kind of cool situation where you can gain something as long as you take action, this time it is the turn of Duke Jusen to drag his feet.

He has been dragging his feet and not moving his troops until the grassland people have completely withdrawn, and then he set up a cannon after the horse and started intensive bombing.

"Hey, if they can be braver, they will definitely be able to withstand my terror!"

Although he dared not step on the third prince, it was no problem to secretly step on the not-so-tall Duke Chongshan.

"But when the time comes, you must come back on a tall horse, and don't do it like today. Oh, it's too frustrating."

And with his mouth cannon, the snowfield battle that lasted from dusk to dawn finally came to an end.

Interestingly, after the news about the battle reached the ears of the people on both sides, they found that both sides actually announced that it was their victory.

The Pemos Khanate announced that it was their victory, because under the leadership of the great Khan, they successfully defeated the direct troops of the third prince of Shenlin, and tied down at least five powerful dukes and more than ten castles, which can be said to be stirring up the situation.

The Deep Forest Kingdom announced that it was their victory, because under the leadership of the third prince, they successfully showed off their power on the grassland and forced back the grassland army that entered the Deep Forest border to seek revenge, objectively destroying the last chance of Pemos to go south this year.

Although it sounds like they are opening their own rotten champagne, it seems to be true.

Since our army won a great victory in this battle, the Lionheart King was very pleased and would definitely reward them according to their merits.

However, neither the third prince nor the two dukes could be given any more titles, so the great credit fell on Christine and Feng En.

So Old Feng finally got what he wanted and got the title of Viscount that he had always dreamed of. He started a leisurely vacation with his wife and daughter that would last at least until spring.

And Christine also went one step further from Viscount and was awarded the title of Earl, which was not too big, barely a quasi-noble title, and got a pretty good fiefdom.

It sounds very easy, and the life dreams of the two were simply realized.

But if you lift the curtain and steal the script, you will find that it was not so smooth in the first place, and it was the result of someone behind the scenes fueling the flames.
