Lord of War

v4 Chapter 82 - .Meet Roald

  St. Drones Fortress is a military fort built when the Kingdom of Lane was founded.

  At the very beginning, the scale of this fortress was not that big, it was just the most conventional standard fortress, and its defense strength has always been a defect of this fortress. This defect was used by the Millennium Covenant Empire in the war in which the Millennium Covenant Empire invaded the Kingdom of Lane, and became the most direct and straightforward breach.

  So when the Shield of Lion, known as the “Holy Wall”, Roald settled in this fortress and became the highest commander of the fortress, the expansion, repair and improvement of the fortress became a top priority. These secret work continued for nearly ten years before finally transforming the Fortress of St. Drones into a real empire-level fortress. Although it is still the lowest standard of the empire-level fortress, it is better than the original in terms of defense strength. When it is much stronger.

  Asuna’s childhood was spent in the ten years of fortress expansion, repair, and improvement, and she finally developed her current character and abilities.

  It can be said that Saint Wallold G. Evans is the real enlightenment of Asuna.

  If there is no later story, then Asuna will inevitably become the next master of this fortress-the entire Evans family has moved away from the extravagant capital and moved to this bitter cold land. Although there is no public statement in Lane, in fact, all the nobles secretly know that the authority of the frontier duke is extremely heavy, and no one can challenge the status of the frontier duke except the sword of Lane, let alone hold Iraq. Vance forced to leave the fortress.

   Therefore, anyone who takes over the position of the head of the Evans family is the consciousness of the new owner of this fortress and takes root in the minds of all Lane nobles.

  But destiny always likes to make jokes with people.

  So Asuna left here when she was an adult, relying on her own efforts to lay a foundation larger than Evans-the first Grand Duke in the history of the Evans family to obtain the right to establish an independent nation. Continue to develop according to this route, as long as the descendants of Asuna work hard enough, plus a little luck and timing, then the Evans family can also become a new royal family on the Marvel Continent.

  Since Asuna became Grand Duke Garrod, she has always been the object of worship by countless women in the entire Ryan aristocratic circle, and the object of countless men’s admiration, and of course the envy of many aristocratic families. Even since Asuna established the Tonis Fortress, the disagreement between the Evans family and Asuna has finally loosened slightly. For Asuna, she finally doesn’t need to sneak up on her own. Father contacted.

   can be just like that old saying.

   “Fate always likes to make jokes”.

  Now, Asuna has become a prisoner of the Kingdom of Lane, and has even been accused of “poisoning the prince, murdering His Royal Highness Adams, assassinating Prince Arlan, manipulating Princess Fulhis, taking the royal family of Lane, conspiring to seize the Kingdom of Lane” and many other crimes.

  As a result, the former female grandfather has now become a humble person who is scorned by everyone. The people of the Ryan Kingdom even made a very high call for conquest of the Principality of Garrod. Of course, there are some nobles who fan the flames. Under this situation, the Evans family naturally dismissed their relationship for the first time and announced that they had no relationship with Asuna G. Evans.

If it weren’t for Sean to act immediately after receiving the news of Asuna’s accident, plus the news that the Peace Council is now destroyed is no longer an April Fool’s rumors, otherwise, I’m afraid Ryan’s army has been stationed in Canada at this moment. Simi from the Principality of Rhodes started a confrontation.

  ……

  Roald G. Evans, now the patriarch of the Evans family, is also the riser of the Evans family.

For the entire Evans family, Roald’s hard work is beyond anyone’s imagination. Many people only know that he was already a real earl when he became the patriarch of the Evans family. How big is the gap between nobles and powerful nobles, not to mention how difficult it is to climb from earl to marquis. If Roald hadn’t shown his amazing talent and hard work when he was young, he would not have been deployed to the Fortress of St. Drones, and he would have been unable to become a powerful marquis of high authority.

  As for the duke nowadays, in fact, it has little meaning.

  Because the Kingdom of Lane had not been upgraded at that time, it was still the duchy under the Millennium Covenant Empire, so the title could only reach the Marquis. But in terms of actual performance, the Lion’s Shield has actually been able to become a Duke long ago-his performance can never be lower than his own daughter, but it is only because of some special reasons that he has achieved it. The reputation of Grand Duke Asuna.

Roald is now over fifty years old, but in fact he does not appear to be very old at all. On the contrary, perhaps because of better maintenance, he looks more like a 30-something. Mature man to forty years old. Of course, the powerful vitality fluctuations exuding in his body is another strong proof that he can maintain his youth-this is a person who has stepped into the realm of the sanctuary.

  As long as there are no accidents, it is not a problem to protect the entire Evans family for hundreds of years.

  But only a few people found out that since Asuna was arrested, Roald’s temples have turned pale, and his brows have been frowned.

  At this time in the corridor on the second floor of the mansion, Roald was walking side by side with a middle-aged man who looked approximately seventy-seven similar.

  It is guessed from the appearance that this middle-aged man should be Roald’s heir.

  The two seemed to be discussing something, and from time to time they could see the face of the middle-aged man next to Roald showing dissatisfaction. But the difference is that even if the middle-aged man faced Roald, he didn’t show respect. On the contrary, he had been fighting for reasons, which made Roald’s expression quickly reveal his dissatisfaction.

  Some of the maids cleaning up next to them, when they saw the father and son from a distance, they had already retreated.

  Although they don’t hear clearly, they also know that these words are not what they can hear.

  In the home of the Evans family, all servants will undergo pre-training and get qualified evaluation before admission. Therefore, they all know what their first priority needs to be dealt with in what kind of situation, and there will never be any people with many tongues and ears. However, it is precisely because of this that, to a large extent, the Evans family has cultivated the atmosphere of discussion and argument no matter when and where, even whether these topics are classified or not.

   Soon, the father and son came to the door of a room. The discussion between the two remained the same, but when Roald reached out to touch the doorknob, his voice stopped suddenly.

  The son standing by, immediately realized the problem, but he did not stop his voice, as if he was still talking.

   But Roald shook his head: “It’s useless, the other party has found us.”

   After that, the door has been opened.

The layout of the room is very simple. Except for the bookshelves and the books filled with bookshelves, there is almost nothing superfluous. There are even a few tables and chairs. Obviously this is a relatively private study. . Because all the books in the study have obvious signs of use, many of them are even manuscripts and dilapidated ancient books, and it can be seen that people who read the books obviously cherish these books.

  In the round table in the room, sitting a young black-haired young man, who looked at a manuscript with no one else, seemed to be attracted by the story inside, and did not notice the entry of Roald and his son. From time to time, he could see the young man reaching out and picking up the tea cup next to him, and then taking a sip. Roald could tell at a glance that the tea cup was filled with his private collection of dragon head fruit tea.

  This person is naturally Sean who sneaked into the Fortress of St. Drones secretly.

  ”Who are you!” Roald’s son took a step forward, his eyes sharp as an eagle.

  Roald glanced at his son, did not speak, but his gaze at Sean also became serious. He does not dare to say that his fortress defense layout is indestructible, but at least he is worthy of the word “strict”, especially in the area where his mansion is located. In addition to the multi-line cross patrol covering the whole area, almost every A monitoring point has at least three dark whistles to form a cross-monitoring perspective.

   But even so, he was invaded so quietly, which made Roald feel a chill in his back.

  He has recognized the identity of the other party.

  The Grand Duke of the Void Duchy, Sean Connery.

  Roald also knew that his son had actually recognized the identity of the other party, just as the other party had found them standing outside the door when sitting in the room. But his own son still wants to ask about the identity of the other party, as if this will allow him to gain momentum.

  Thinking of this, Roald shook his head helplessly: After all, his son is still not as grand and courageous as his daughter. He stretched out his hand to prevent his son from further questioning. In the current situation, this kind of action had no other effect besides appearing naive.

   “If I had known that Lord Void was visiting, I would definitely be out of the city to greet him.” Roald said with an angry smile.

At this moment, although the Kingdom of Lane and the Void Principality are at odds with each other-even if Sean unscrupulously allows the army to approach Tonis Fortress, at least the two sides have not officially teared their faces on diplomatic occasions, so the two sides can still be regarded as “Oneself”. Especially with Sean’s status as the Grand Duke, which is half a level higher than that of Roald’s Duke, so it is natural for Roald to speak politely first.

   “It’s okay.” Sean closed the book, then looked up at Roald, with a deep smile on his face, “This is the eldest son of the Duke, right? He is young and promising.”

“Haha, you are still not as good as the Grand Duke.” Roald smiled modestly, “You must know that you are a few years younger than my son, but you are already a grand prince of a country. He is just a viscount with a false title now. That’s it.”

“Well, the spirit is there, but the courage is still lacking.” Sean glanced at Roald’s eldest son, that is, Asuna’s brother, and smiled, “If you polish it well, the Evans family will count. Can’t go further in his hands, at least it’s not going to decline.”

   “What did you say!” Hearing such straightforward criticism from Sean, Roald’s eldest son immediately became angry.

   “What is your attitude!” Roald yelled angrily.

“My father, now the Void Principality sends troops to invade. This is already a kind of betrayal. You don’t need to be so polite.” Roald’s eldest son didn’t have the slightest fear, but retorted, “What’s more, this person is sneaking in. Come to our mansion, who knows if the other party is the Void Lord. We don’t even know the other party’s intention…”

   “I’m here because of Asuna G. Evans.” Sean glanced at the young man, but only swiped his gaze back to Roald, and interrupted him.

  And Roald, as understood from Sean’s eyes, Sean did not put his son in his eyes. It can even be said that in the eyes of Xiao En at this moment, his son is no longer a concern. Apart from his youthful spirit, he does not know how to be flexible at all, let alone understand the rules of communication in the aristocratic circle, just keep it simple. In other words, he can only be an aristocrat who guards the border. Once he goes to a place like the capital, he will probably be eaten so much that there is no scum left.

   “Asuna? She is no longer a member of our Evans family, she…”

   “Retreat.” Roald finally revealed the majesty of the patriarch of the Evans family.

   “My father…”

“I told you to retreat.” Roald said in a deep voice, his attitude has become obviously tough, “I am now commanding you as the head of the Evans family, not your father…. Before you officially became Before the patriarch of the Evans family, don’t forget what you should do now.”

   gritted his teeth, this middle-aged man, who was seven-point similar to Roald, finally nodded in silence, then turned and left.

   “Just made you laugh, Grand Duke Sean.”

“Is this the next patriarch who is going to replace Asuna to take over the Evans family?” Xiao En laughed, but the content of the words was not polite. Is the Vance family buried completely?”

  Roald fell into silence and did not answer Sean’s question.

  However, Sean didn’t seem to really want to ask for the result. After seeing Roald’s silence, Sean said again: “He doesn’t seem to convince you.”

“Atos, he won’t convince anyone but himself.” Roald shook his head, “I know his flaws, but he is the most suitable person to inherit the Evans family besides Asuna. Only by him can the Evans family continue to live here on the border and grow without any worries…. If I must answer, then the next generation of the Evans family will completely abandon the royal aristocratic circle.”

   Xiao En glanced at the closed door, and said softly: “He doesn’t seem to be a good obedient person.”

   “Indeed.” Roald nodded.

   “Don’t you worry that this will compromise your fortress military strength?” Xiao En laughed.

  Roald did not speak to answer this question, but looked at Sean with a smile, which let Sean know that Roald obviously wanted to test his own strength. If you want to go deeper, of course, Sean can also understand the other party’s approach. After all, after directly sneaking into the other party’s base camp, like entering the back garden of no man’s land, if he changes his nest to be invaded in this way, Shaun might not be able to sit and chat so quietly.

   “Ulamo, trouble you.” Shaun said, “Just a little bit of a lesson, don’t go too far.”

   “Follow your instructions, sir.” Ulamog bowed and saluted to Sean.

  At this time, Roald discovered that there was a person standing behind Sean, but neither he nor his son Athos actually noticed it! What’s even more incredible is that with Ulamog’s departure, a giant black and silver wolf suddenly stood up, which gave Roald a little illusion: Is this really in his study?

   “Okay, let’s talk about business now.” Sean said with a smile, and brought Roald’s attention back.

   “Cough.”

Roald coughed slightly to conceal his awkwardness. He glanced at the old man who had left with the giant wolf. His eyes were extremely complicated. Just now, he could not feel the strength of the opponent at all. It was obvious. Prove that the strength of the opponent is absolutely above oneself.

  However, this embarrassment quickly disappeared. After condensing his mind, he looked at Xiao En and said, “I know what you are here.” (To be continued~^~)
