This will be Hesse Territory's most solid and powerful ally! It is a robust friendship that cannot be destroyed no matter how it is provoked, a pact forged from loyalty until death!
Who can still say Su Li has no external support? With an Elector's Territory as backing, Su Li is confident Hesse Territory will possess unparalleled potential for developnt.
Soon, a team of knights was personally greeted by Fastrick and Ariana, and they entered the room.
Su Li imdiately recognized the leading knight; he was once a Hesse Guard Knight, and Su Li could na every Hesse Guard Knight.
"You are the Great Horned Beast's nesis, Bertrand de Lioness, who once consecutively beheaded three Great Horned Beasts in the Battle of Black Water River and single-handedly repelled a Roaring Beast herd at the edge of Blood Pine Forest."
Bertrand, visibly moved, nodded imdiately and said, "Yes, my Lord, it's ! I followed your orders to escort Philis to Sulande Province. We were fortunate enough to succeed and escort her into Avalon Palace."
Su Li eagerly asked, "Tell us how Philis managed it?"
Everyone looked at Bertrand with blazing eyes, eager to know the details.
Faced with this intense gaze, Bertrand could not help but straighten his chest, honored to have directly participated in it all!
"My Lord, we executed according to your suggestions. Philis had no engagents with other nobles, avoiding any petty politicking upon reaching Sulande Province. We first publicly declared that Philis was about to give birth. In truth, this was not a lie. Many nobles sent doctors and cultivators to diagnose her, estimating only one or two days left until her due date."
"One or two days! During this period, the obstetricians had confird that Philis was facing severe contractions and labor pains, which should have had her lying in bed preparing for childbirth."
"But this greatly lulled all the nobles of Sulande Province into complacency. They all believed that Philis had no energy to partake in political struggles during this period, rely awaiting others to decide her destiny. The nobles assud they had at least one or two months to exchange interests and make mutual compromises."
Su Li couldn't help but clench his hands, knowing that during Philis's weakest monts, she urgently needed him by her side.
However, she not only lacked a warm and safe ho but instead fell into a dragon's nest. At her most vulnerable mont of childbirth and nurturing new life, nurous nobles, like cruel jackals, turned her into prey, eager to consu her entirely.
Su Li clenched his fists tightly, knowing his woman was in the midst of a dangerous whirlpool. He must quickly grow stronger and provide her with powerful support, rescuing her from peril!
He couldn't help but ask with concern, "And then what? What happened next?"
Bertrand, looking admiringly, sincerely praised, "When the nobles were caught off guard, Philis bit her teeth and ordered a full march towards Avalon Palace!"
"Although the Eternal Light Knight Order had past conflicts with our territory, it's indisputable that they are elite of the present age, truly worthy of standing toe to toe with the Fla Sun Knight Order. They execute orders swiftly, as fast as the wind, and with 12 Divine Chosen Knights as the vanguard, they quickly charged into Sulande Province's capital, Ivy City, before most could react."
Su Li listened tensely to Bertrand's account, not missing a word, and imdiately asked, "But Ivy City is the capital of Sulande Province, where nurous nobles have entrenched themselves. How could your knight order just barge in?"
"Indeed." Bertrand nodded heavily, "That is precisely the admirable part of Princess Philis. As the knight order escorted her to Avalon Palace, they could no longer push through. Ahead was a dense array of guards, a silver line spanning the sky, elite guards covering the square before the palace, numbering at least tens of thousands. While the nobles hadn't reacted, the palace guards, relying solely on their regulations and training, completed assembly and obstructed us. If they successfully stopped our advance, waiting for other Dukes to arrive, we'd be dood!"
"Yet at that mont, Princess Philis stepped forward! Despite severe contractions making her face as pale as paper, with sweat soaking her silver hair, she gritted her teeth, supported by Avril the Chief Steward, as she walked step by step towards the palace!"
"Facing countless sharp swords, she showed no sign of fear, leading the knight order from the front! All the guards staggered back before her frail body, none daring to harm her."
"However, the sinister noble henchn saw this and ordered the palace gates to be shut!"
"Then, Princess Philis stepped forward, fearlessly facing thousands of arrows aid at her atop the city wall. I still rember that unparalleled mont, as the wind from Sulande Province blew through her silver hair, thousands of strands fluttering in the air, seemingly surpassing the flying banners of tens of thousands of years."
"Any arrow on that wall dropping down could instantly take her life. But she showed no fear, and her voice resounded powerfully as she shouted into the city: Sulande's proud longbown! Silver Spear Guards! And all noble knights devoutly believing in the Goddess of Justice!"
