Chapter 83: Witness of Seven Gods
??Chapter 83 Witness of the Seven Gods
??In the not-so-spacious camp, Dorne knights in armor walked in one after another, making the place look a bit crowded.
??As dusk approached and the light was dim, Princess Arianne asked the soldiers to light candles.
?? and other desert lizard oil smell permeated, and there were already hundreds of knights in the camp.
??Princess Arianne's eyes slowly swept over these people, recalling their surnames, forces they belonged to, and habits and preferences in her mind.
?? This is a skill that superiors must master.
Standing first on her left was a man with a huge hooked nose, silver and black hair, and lavender eyes. Arianne knew that this man was the "Dark Star" Jelo from High Hidden City. Dane.
??Dyne of Gaoyin City is the most powerful branch of the Dane family in Starfall City. With the main bloodline withered, it is obvious that he has the ambition to become the main branch of Starfall City.
??Therefore, among the reinforcements conscripted this time, Gaoyin City had the largest number of troops, with 3,000 people, so it can be said that they came out in full force.
?? It's just that Geraldine, the eldest son of Gaoyin City, doesn't seem to have a good reputation, and Arianne doesn't like the way this person looks at her.
??But she will not alienate him because of this. On the contrary, she thinks that Geraldine is indeed a suitable candidate to inherit Starfall City.
?? At least better than that Natalie Dean who came out of nowhere.
??So, she met the other party's fiery gaze, and returned a charming smile.
?? Sure enough, Geraldine's breathing quickened instantly, and his waist straightened even more.
?? "Sir Gerald, your surname is also Dane, and now the people of Hewan are standing on the territory of the Dane family, what do you think should be done?"
?? "Drive them into the sea!" Jie Luo slapped his chest heavily and roared loudly.
?? "Very good! This is the real Dane!" Arianne said meaningfully.
?? Then, her gaze turned to another young knight beside him. On the armor on the chest of that person was a black vulture, holding a pink baby in its claws—this was the coat of arms of the Bremont family.
??Arianne recognized the young knight as Penrose Bremont, the eldest son of the Bremont family. She remembered that this person had once served as her uncle's attendant, and it was also his uncle who made him a knight.
?? Seeing the princess' eyes, Penrose quickly bowed his head and saluted.
?? This is a reliable knight.
??Arianne nodded secretly, and asked:
?? "Sir Penrose, what's your opinion?"
?? "The Bremont family will always follow in the footsteps of the Sun's Halberd!" The young knight blushed slightly, as if he didn't dare to meet Arianne's gaze.
?? "Very good! The Bremont family is always as reliable as a mountain!" Arianne praised, and continued to look down.
Beside the team of the Bremont family, there stood five knights with a golden crown and skull coat of arms on their armor, but Arianne didn't know any of them, and could only tell from the coat of arms that these were the Manwoodi family of King's Grave City. knight.
King's Tomb City is located at the Prince's Pass, guarding the northern gate of Dorne. Its position is very important. The Martell family has been trying to win over them, but this time, none of their family's direct descendants came. Lian En's heart sank slightly.
But she still said: "The Manwudi family has always been at the forefront of fighting against the river bend. If I remember correctly, the golden crown on the coat of arms of your family was released after killing an ancient river bend king. Come on."
?? "Yes, Your Highness." A knight of the Manwudi family stepped forward and said, "We have a deep hatred with the people of Hewan, and we will never give in and compromise!"
??Arianne nodded in satisfaction, and turned her gaze to the right, where a dozen or so knights with red and yellow flame emblems printed on their chests were particularly eye-catching. They all came from the Uller family of Hellgate Castle.
??The illegitimate daughter of Earl Harman Uller is Uncle Arianne's lover, and she gave birth to four illegitimate daughters for him.
??These "sand snakes" were all Arianne's childhood playmates, so she looked at the knights of the Uller family very kindly.
??Earl Harman Uller also responded positively to Princess Arianne's call. This time, he sent his younger brother Sir Urik Uller to lead an army of two thousand families to support him.
?? Before Arianne could speak, Ser Urik took the initiative to step forward and saluted:
?? "Your Highness, the long sword of the Wule family will always be brandishing for you!"
?? "The loyalty of the Uller family will never be questioned!" Arianne responded with a smile.
??Her eyes continued to turn, greeting every family that came to support.
??The Kogel family in Sandstone City, the Fowler family in Tianji City, Yronwood...
??Until she saw the last blue-eyed blond knight standing at the door of the tent, Arianne's pupils shrank slightly.
??The badge on the man's chest was a black gate in the sand—the coat of arms of House Yronwood.
??The Yronwood family has many titles, "Earl of Yronwood City", "Noble Blood", "Guardian of the Bone Road", "Lord of Green Hill"...
?? But they once had a more prominent title - "High King of Dorne".
As one of the most powerful families in Dorne, the Yronwood family was once the biggest obstacle on the way for the Martell family to conquer the whole of Dorne. Although they have bowed their heads to the Sunspear now, the relationship between the two families The room is always undercurrent.
Arianne's uncle was suspected of poisoning an Earl of Yronwood, and in order to appease the anger of the Yronwood family, Prince Doran gave his eldest son, Quentin Martell, to the Yronwood family as an adopted son. .
?? It is said to be an adopted son, but it is actually a proton.
Arianne did not expect the Yronwood family to send someone to call for reinforcements this time. After all, the relationship between the two families is not good, and Yronwood City is located in the middle of Dorne, far from Starfall City. send troops.
?? But unexpectedly, the other party actually sent troops.
??But only one knight was sent, plus more than 30 cavalry.
?? It is said to be support, but it is more like coming to watch the battle.
??But Arianne still treats this person equally: "I am grateful that the city of Yronwood has come to support from thousands of miles away."
??The blue-eyed and blond knight bowed and said, "Your Highness, you are welcome, this is our duty."
?? "Is my brother okay now?" Arianne asked suddenly.
?? "His Royal Highness Quentin is fine. The Earl is planning to marry Miss Gwenise to him."
?? "Really. Thanks to the Yronwood family for taking care of my brother." Arianne suppressed the churning thoughts in her heart, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder if you are still willing to follow Martell's footsteps?"
?? "Of course. The Yronwood family will always be the most loyal subordinates of the Martell family."
?? "Very good!" Arianne smiled and clapped her hands.
??The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and a camel was brought in.
??Arianne drew out her long sword, and walked up to the camel amidst everyone's doubtful eyes.
?? Chi!
??The long sword thrust out suddenly, and went straight into the camel's front belly, leaving only the hilt outside.
??Blood spurted out, drenching Arianne all over.
??But she didn't dodge or dodge. After the camel fell to the ground with a wail, she drew out her long sword, took a few steps back and stood still, watching everyone quietly.
??Damon Shad reacted first, drew out his long sword, and stabbed the fallen camel.
??When the rest of the knights saw this, they immediately understood and followed suit.
?? After everyone's swords were stained with blood, Arianne showed a satisfied smile.
??I saw her holding the long sword high above her head, and her voice was as hard as iron:
?? "Before the invading enemy is completely wiped out, if anyone dares to disturb the morale of the army and retreat lightly, he will surely die under the swords like a camel! May the seven gods bear witness for us!"
??All the knights also raised their blood-stained swords and shouted:
?? "Seven Gods Witness!"
