Imperial Crown.

Chapter 270 Kind-hearted Lei Wen [4 more]

The war between Broca and Versasinn has become the most watched event in the entire Nordic province in recent times.

The news that Vissasim abandoned the city and fled, Brocka occupied the town of Koga, and was about to occupy the entire territory of Koga spread like wildfire.

With the governor's position vacant, no one could mediate the dispute, which plunged the entire Xuefeng County into a state of tension.

Eagle Town is no exception.

Coupled with the attack a month ago, the Eagle Eye Guards' patrols have increased in scope and intensity.

As a member of the Hawkeye Guard, Julia also conducts daily patrols.

It snowed again today. The wind blew the snowflakes into her collar. After being melted by her body temperature, they became wet and cold. Ice flowers even began to form on her breastplate.

Julia sighed softly. She thought it would be another boring patrol. Although nothing was wrong, it was a bit dull.

Perhaps to give her something to do, just as she was patrolling to the edge of the jungle southwest of Eagle Town, she heard a woman's scream.

"Don't come over here, what are you doing!?"

“——Help, help!!!”

Julia left her entourage behind and rode over on horseback. When she arrived at the scene, her pupils shrank.

I saw two men wearing muddy and dirty armor looting supplies from a carriage. A man was lying on the ground with a pool of blood under him, and he was obviously dead. Next to him was a woman holding a child, kneeling on the ground and shivering.

The two men looked like they were almost going crazy with hunger. They poked the grain bags on the car with their swords, and the golden wheat flowed out. The two men didn't even bother to pierce their mouths, but just scooped up a handful and stuffed them into their mouths.

With a snap, Julia shook off her whip and shouted, "Eagle-Eye Guards, put down your weapons immediately and surrender!"

She was really too young. The two men's eyes first looked at her face and then at her chest, both revealing lewd smiles.

"Ahem..." Swallowing the grains of wheat in his mouth, one of the men said, "What guards? Your place is really weird. You use whores to maintain law and order?"

Julia's face turned cold and she snorted coldly. She handed the whip to her left hand, drew out the eagle feather sword with her right hand, squeezed the horse's belly and urged it forward!

The two men looked at each other, separated tacitly, and stood on both sides of the carriage.

In this way, no matter who Julia wanted to attack, she had to consider the existence of the carriage. The existence of the carriage also made it easier for the two to hide and maneuver; and once Julia stopped, she would be besieged by the two of them.

But Julia chose the third way.

Just as the black-blooded horse under her crotch rushed to the edge of the carriage, Julia retracted her legs, stepped on the saddle, and flew into the air, landing steadily on the carriage.

The two men were somewhat surprised, but also somewhat disdainful.

In their opinion, although Julia's move was ingenious, it put her in a rather unfavorable position and she was just a novice in actual combat.

They drew out their swords almost at the same time and stabbed at Julia's slightly fleshy thigh.

At this moment, Julia bent down and moved both hands at the same time, as if there were two wills controlling her two arms. The whip in her left hand wrapped around the man's left arm tightly, making it impossible to cut it anymore; her right hand swung downward suddenly, and with a ding, it deflected the attacking sword.

Both men were stunned. They didn't expect that this little girl was so strong.

Even more unexpected things are yet to come.

Julia raised her left hand suddenly, and the whip tightened with a creaking sound, pulling the man off the ground. Then she pulled him to the right. The man pushed away two bags of food, and then his head collided with his companions with a bang!
"Murder, robbery, and resisting arrest." Julia jumped off the carriage and pointed her sword at the two confused people: "There is no need for trial."

"Hawkeye Guard Julia, I sentence you to death on the spot!"

As she spoke, she was about to hand over the Eagle Feather Sword.

"Wait!!" A weak cry was heard, and the bushes nearby rustled.

Julia looked over there warily, and saw a knight in enchanted armor staggering out of the jungle.

There were many scars and holes on his armor, and pus was flowing down the soles of his feet into the snow, leaving an ugly scar on the white snow.

"You are from the Eagle Territory, right? This is the Eagle Territory! I am... the Imperial Baron, Wesasi!" Wesasi swallowed his saliva and said, "They are my personal soldiers."

The two men on the ground were struggling, as if trying to stand up.

Julia suddenly drew her sword, and the tip of the sword pierced through the gap in the armor and pierced into the neck of the man above, passing through it, and muffledly penetrated the nose of the man below and went straight into the skull.

The two of them shuddered at the same time, and then went completely limp.

"You!" Visasi was so angry that his head was dizzy.

In order to avoid being tracked along the way, he was exhausted and did not even have the time to treat his wounds. His injuries kept getting worse. Only these two soldiers had been with him until now, but now they were killed by Julia with ease!

"They killed people from Eagle Town, so they should be sentenced to death." Julia stared at Wessacine: "And you said you are Baron Wessacine, but do you have any evidence?"

Vesasi was furious for a moment.

Are there many people in the entire Nordic province who can afford to wear enchanted armor but are so destitute?
But this cannot be a reason.

He is so weak now that he can't even use his fighting spirit. It would be so much fun if he died in the hands of a woman!

"…Take me to see Baron Raven, he knows me!"

At this time, Julia's followers had also arrived.

Julia looked at Versacine and said, "Put him in shackles. I will personally take him to see the Baron."

Versacine almost fainted from anger - he should have surrendered to Brocka earlier. At least Brocka was a real noble and would not treat another noble so harshly.

But this also had its advantages, as he could barely stand and his followers almost carried him.

Slowly, Vissaxin regained some strength and vaguely saw a towering and magnificent building appear in front of him.

Am I... dead?
Is this the kingdom of the Lord of Light?
But Julia's words mercilessly shattered his fantasy: "Eagle-eyed guard Julia, during patrol, I found three fleeing soldiers looting a carriage. Two of them were killed on the spot. The remaining one claimed to be Baron Versacem, and I couldn't tell him apart. I came to report to the Baron."

"Please open the city gate!"

The gate slowly opened and Versacem's eyes widened.

This... is Raven's new castle! ?
He had heard about Raven's construction of a new castle and had seen the construction site, but he couldn't see it clearly at that time.

I didn’t expect it to be so majestic after it was completed!

If this castle was in my hands, how could it be knocked down by just 6 catapults?!

Being taken all the way to Eagle City, Vissaxin was almost dazzled. It was not until he sat on the magic elevator that he gradually accepted the reality.

From a distance, Wessacine heard Raven's voice: "Hey, how are you doing it? Baron Wessacine is my old friend. Quickly remove his shackles!"

There were a few clanging sounds, and Vissasim looked down at the shackles that had fallen to the ground. Then he looked up and saw Raven getting closer and closer, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

Then he fell to the ground with a thud and fell unconscious.

Raven's prepared words were useless. He looked at Vesasi on the ground and said, "Go and call the priest."

Ever since Lux left, the Eagle Town Church has been empty. Since then, there has only been one priest in the Raven Territory, and that is the third-level divine magician Herlind from Snow Maple Town.

He was a priest who fit the stereotype of people very well, he looked to be in his thirties, of medium build, clean-shaven, wearing a round hat with a white brim, a black priest robe, a silver ∞ badge on his chest, and he always carried a copy of the "Sacred Word" with him.

Raven rose rapidly and was highly appreciated by Archbishop Thomas. Herlind had always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Raven, so he rushed over as soon as he heard Raven's invitation.

After examining and treating Wessacine and casting two spells, Herlind wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Basically, there is no problem. Baron Wessacine's injuries are not fatal. He was just poisoned and has not been able to rest recently, so he is overly tired. He was also excited to see you, so he fainted."

"Now the toxins have been removed and the wound infection has been almost cured..."

Before he could finish his words, Versacine opened his mouth and moaned: "Water..."

"As expected of a third-level knight, he woke up so quickly." Herlind was not very surprised: "He hasn't eaten for a long time. Logically, he shouldn't eat too much, but a third-level knight is physically strong, so it's no problem for him to eat enough."

Raven smiled and said, "Thank you, Priest Herlind."

"No, it's my honor to work for you." Herlind put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly. "I also hope that one day I can serve you as a bishop."

The Bishop of the Church of Light is usually responsible for the parish management of a county and is only one level lower than Archbishop Thomas.

The original bishop of Xuefeng County went to Mansa County with Viscount John, and the bishop's position here became vacant.

Raven's territory is developing rapidly now. As long as Raven shows a positive attitude towards the Church of Light, Herlind may have the opportunity to be promoted.

Raven understood Herlind's intention and did not refuse: "I will try my best to make Priest Herlind achieve his wish as soon as possible."

After seeing off Herlind, Raven ordered someone to bring food and water to Vissaxin.

Smelling the aroma of soft baked bread, Vissaxin almost jumped up from the bed, grabbed the bread on the plate without any grace, crumpled it into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously.

The sweet aroma of the bread melted in his mouth, and Wessacin's tears flowed out in an instant.

Finally I can eat some hot food!
After escaping from the battlefield, Versacine gathered six defeated soldiers, but three of them ran away secretly. Another one wanted to cut off his head and send it to Broca to seek credit, but he was executed by himself.

From that day on, he never dared to close his eyes again.

Lack of rest and the cold weather caused his health to deteriorate rapidly, and in order to avoid being discovered, he did not even dare to approach the village.

They drank cold blood water, and as for food, they only found a dead, frozen deer 5 days ago.

After eating two bites of venison, I had diarrhea for three days.

For the past five days, Versacem had not eaten anything, otherwise he would not have been reduced to asking his men to rob food. He ate too hard and the bread got stuck in his throat. Versacem was reluctant to spit it out, and he rolled his eyes because of choking.

Someone nearby quickly handed him some milk, and he drank it in big gulps to wash down the bread.

This meal was simply the most delicious delicacy that Vissasim had ever eaten.

He was a baron, but his clothes were stained with milk spots and bread crumbs, and he would lick his fingers when he was eating to his heart's content.

Wave~
His thumb was pulled out from his lips with a crisp sound, and Visasinn burped again, slumped down on the bed, feeling that he was finally alive.

"How are you, Baron Vissaxin, are you feeling better?" Raven's concerned voice came.

Visasi's throat moved, and he slowly turned his head and saw Raven. Suddenly, he supported the bed with his elbows, turned over, and knelt in front of Raven with a thud.

This action was completely beyond Raven's expectations. He hurried forward to support him, but Visasi was a third-level knight after all, and he knelt so seriously that Raven couldn't pull him up without real strength.

Raven said in a negotiating tone: "Baron Versacem, it is not in accordance with etiquette for you to do this. We are both barons. If we have anything to say, let's talk slowly."

"Baron Raven..." Wesassin's nose felt sore and his voice trembled a little: "...Please save me!!!"

"It's gone, all gone. The Kvoga family's hundreds of years of property is all gone!!"

"Please, save me, save me..."

At the beginning, Visasi was still performing, but at this point he really couldn't hold it back anymore. Tears flowed out like crazy and fell to the ground, wailing loudly.

He was a baron who had lived a life of luxury all his life. Even after the battle with the Death Hand Cult, he never thought that he would be in any danger.

But now, he had lost the war, his territory had been occupied, he was wandering and destitute, and almost died on the roadside like a stray dog.

Now he finally arrived at the Eagle Territory and met Raven, who kindly took him in. This experience of escaping death completely broke his tense nerves. How could he not cry?

When he had almost finished crying, Raven said, "Get up, Baron Versacem. You are just too tired now. Rest for a few days, and then we can talk again."

"No..." Wessacine sniffed, wiped the tears from his face, crawled on his knees and grabbed Raven's trouser legs: "Baron Raven, County Governor Raven, please save me, otherwise, I will kneel here and die, and I will never get up!"

Coming to Eagle Territory was the last decision that Vissaxin made when he was sober, because looking at the entire Snow Maple County, only the newly rising Raven had a chance to compete with Brocka.

Raven pulled at his pants but didn't twitch, so he had to let him go, feeling a little amused and helpless: "Baron Versacem, if you want me to save you, you should at least tell me how to save you, right?"

Versacin breathed a sigh of relief: "...I hope that you can summon Viscount Broca as the county governor and ask him to withdraw from my territory."

"This..." Raven hesitated slightly.

This look made Wesasi feel relieved.

Brocka's behavior was too outrageous, simply crazy. If Raven agreed immediately at this time, Visasi would be worried.

Versacem sobbed and said, "Lord Raven, I know this is unreasonable, but I really have no other choice!"

Indeed, according to imperial law, attacking other noble territories without authorization is an illegal act, with penalties ranging from a fine to deprivation of the title.

But the problem is that Broca's two tough statements were quite reasonable, and Versacine impulsively killed many of Broca's soldiers, which could indeed be considered a provocation.

Even if the case is reported to the Council of Nobles, the two families are accusing each other, and it may take more than ten years for the results to come out.

These ten years are enough for Broca to establish a stable rule in Koga Territory and train Vissasim's children into puppets. By then, a drama of "recognizing the thief as the father" might really be staged.

Thinking of this, Wesasi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Eagle Territory was once divided, so you should know how cruel this situation is!"

"If you are willing to help me, I, Versacine, swear on my own soul and the souls of my ancestors that I will never betray you!"

This was already a very heavy oath for a noble. Raven thought about it for a moment and decided to agree:

"Baron Versassin, you get up first."

But Versacem misunderstood.

This seems like she's not going to agree to his request!

Being in a different position, even if he was Raven, if a person with whom he had no relationship came to him alone and asked him to fight against the only viscount in the county, no one could agree to such a request!

In other words, Baron Raven is kind-hearted and fair. If it were Viscus himself, even if he didn't hand the person over to Brocka, he would beat him out with a stick to avoid misunderstanding from Viscount Brocka.

Yes, it must have happened before Baron Raven was still holding a grudge.

Wesassin suddenly felt a little regretful. There was no essential difference between his bullying of Lady Doreen, an orphan and her widowed mother, and Brocka's invasion of his territory now. Both were bullying the weak.

If I had not had a conflict with Baron Raven, with Raven's spirit full of chivalry, he would definitely help me without hesitation!
"Baron Raven, I know I was wrong. I always thought that the principles of the nobility were just a doormat. Now I realize that if I don't lend a helping hand to others, I have no right to ask for help from others!"

Versacine put his forehead on the ground and said in a pious and regretful voice: "Although my treasure has fallen into Bloka's hands, if you can help me get the territory this time, then the vast plains of Koja Territory will become your horse farm. I will give you 200 war horses every year as atonement!"

"Besides that, my territory can also be divided..."

Hearing this, Raven quickly squatted down and grabbed Versacine's shoulders, fearing that he would say something outrageous again: "Okay, I can take the warhorse, but don't mention the territory again."

For Raven, war horses are good things, but territories are quite useless.

After all, the two territories are far apart, and no one can manage a small enclave, so it can't generate much profit.

And Raven gradually understood Visasi's psychology.

This sudden change in Vissasim's mind was shocked and he was in a very irrational state.

Asking him for some war horses at this time is nothing, but if you really take advantage of his situation to seize his territory, when he comes to his senses in the future, our friendship will turn into a mortal enemy.

Versacine raised his head with hope in his eyes: "So, you are going to help me?"

"Of course, as the county governor, it is my duty to do this." Raven smiled and nodded: "You should have a good rest first. I will write a letter to Viscount Broca and invite him to come and see me."

Versacine stood up, but did not rest, instead he stared at Raven.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, Raven ordered someone to bring paper and pen, and wrote the letter on the spot. After Visasi read the contents, he heaved a long sigh of relief, and his whole body suddenly became listless.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Raven could hear Versacine's thunderous snoring.

The door closed gently, covering up the deafening snoring. Raven turned to look at Julia and said, "You handled this matter very well today. Go get the reward from old Gordon, then take two days off and have a good rest."

"Yes, Baron!" Julia saluted respectfully and turned to leave.

Although she enjoys working, Julia also enjoys her vacation.

After receiving his bounty, he left Eagle City humming a song, bought a string of candied haws on the roadside, and ate them while slowly walking home.

Candied haws are really delicious, but it’s a pity that spring is coming soon and we won’t be able to see this delicious thing for half a year.

So Julia ate very slowly, and only when she reached the door of her home did she throw the skewer, which had been licked clean, into the trash can.

"call……"

After closing and locking the door, Julia, who was slightly sweating, breathed a sigh of relief.

She wrinkled her nose; she hated the sticky feeling.

Standing in front of Angel's Glory, looking at the lovely person in the mirror, Julia curled her lips slightly and began to take off her armor one by one until the last breastplate.

This is the happiest and most painful moment of her day.

Julia's onion-like fingers kept groping behind her back. It took her a long time to find the short end of the rope. She pulled it hard and the breastplate popped out immediately.

Julia put on her breastplate and then confirmed again that all the locks on the door were locked.

Then he started to take off his inner shirt.

Not until all her clothes were taken off did Julia focus her eyes on the white straps around her chest.

Carefully peel off the tape layer by layer, like peeling an onion, until it finally falls off.

Two huge ones suddenly jumped out of the cage like rabbits.

Julia let out a long breath again. She worried about her figure every day.

After doing all this, Julia seemed to have drained away every inch of strength in her body. She lay comfortably on her bed, smelling the faint fragrance coming from it, and couldn't help but fall into a daze.

This bottle of Angel's Kiss perfume was given to her by Lord Raven himself as a reward when she became a Hawkeye Guard.

For some reason, the ceiling above began to distort and deform, and gradually took the shape of Baron Raven's appearance.

He always seemed to have a faint smile on his face, strolling leisurely with confidence.

It is very different from the image in the rumors.

When will I see Baron Raven again?
This question popped up in Julia's mind for no reason. Then her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably and her cheeks started to feel hot. The woman's sense of shame made her feel a little slutty. She was only 16 years old, but she was already thinking about men day and night!

She quickly hid herself in the quilt and covered her head.

After a long while, when he calmed down, he secretly poked his head out from under the quilt and ran to the bathroom in the room.
