Chapter 582 Return II

Dean and his party headed north all the way.

It took about three weeks to pass through Yorkshire, Horshshire, and entered Vaubanshire.

Dean didn't stay in Yorkshire and Horshshire for a long time, but after giving aristocratic greetings, he returned all the way north to Vaubanshire.

Compared with the Marquis of York and the Earl of Horsh, the Marquis of Vauban is naturally much closer.

Whether it's the same camp or private relationship, Dean can't be the same as before. What's more, his earliest territory is still nominally under the opponent's command.

Therefore, one day in advance, the guards rode fast horses to report the news of his return to the old Marquis.

Therefore, just after entering Vauban County, Dean saw the welcoming team.

Emerald banners on white waving in the wind.

Richard Vauban was riding on a war horse, his body was as straight as a javelin, his hazel hair was sticking to his scalp, and he stood upright, and his eyes, which were also brown, carried the unique sword edge and strength of a soldier.

And in the arms of Richard Vauban, a team of ten people, the military appearance is neat and solemn.

"Richard!"

Dean got out of the carriage with a smile and walked towards the other party.

For former comrades-in-arms, every time they meet, Dean is happy.

"Dean!"

Richard Vauban, who was still hesitating about what kind of attitude he should take to face Dean, saw Dean walking in with a smile, and immediately forgot these troubles. He jumped off his horse and walked up to him at a faster pace.

The two hugged and patted each other on the back.

Greeting each other in such a way that is completely inconsistent with noble etiquette.

"Before, I was still thinking about how to face you, the third emerald gold powerhouse... It's okay. You are still the same!"

Richard Vauban, with his military integrity, was outspoken.

"Maybe others will change. But some won't! Don't forget...we are comrades in battle!"

Dean said with a smile.

"Of course!"

Richard Vauban also showed a hearty smile.

but. Obviously, he didn't understand the meaning of the companion in Dean's words, but simply thought that it was the previous battle to clear the bandits in the snowy jungle.

And Dean didn't explain either.

Such a thing cannot be explained at all, and as long as his attitude towards his companions and comrades-in-arms has not changed, then what is the need for an explanation?

"Where is the Marquis?"

Dean and Richard Vauban were on foot.

"My lord father is waiting for you at the Saiander Fortress... The fortress will be completed soon!"

Richard Vauban said excitedly.

"Is it important to finish?".

Dean took a deep breath. There is a lingering sadness in my heart.

Seandel Fortress, known as the second barrier to the north, and the first barrier "York City", can be said to be another big barrier for Emerald against the north.

And in fact, it is.

After the outbreak of the Blood Moon War, the first fortress 'York City' fell, and the Emerald North relied on the fortress of Saiander, and the magic cannon forcibly withstood the iron cavalry of Xiti.

In the two-year tug-of-war of the first Blood Moon War, he played a vital role.

However, in the second blood moon war. Facing the partially recovered gold-level powerhouse from Xiti, Saiander Fortress only resisted for less than four weeks. It fell completely.

And before the fall of Saiander Fortress, the old Marquis fell ill from overwork and died on the battlefield.

The comrades-in-arms and companions in front of me are also launching the final charge on the battlefield.

If it is said that the first barrier "York City" was destroyed overnight in a way that was beyond people's expectations.

Then, the second barrier, Fort Seanderer, was also beyond people's expectations, because its existence abruptly dragged Xiti into the second Blood Moon War.

And again, the price to pay is huge.

The entire county of Vauban was almost plunged into scorched earth.

There is no one in ten people.

And the Vauban family has completely severed their bloodlines—whether they are direct or collateral.

Xiti hated the Vauban family who were able to resist her invasion to the bone, and wanted to arrest anyone who had a blood relationship with the Vauban family without hesitation.

Simple description: Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots!

It is very in line with the style of that King Xiti.

"I will repay you tenfold..."

Dean said abruptly, his words sonorous and forceful.

"What?"

Richard Vauban on the side looked at Dean puzzled.

"It's nothing, I remembered some unpleasant memories!"

Dean waved his hand with a smile.

"Not so good memories... The Zelgon family has returned to your hands again. The family you swore to revitalize is really thriving, and you yourself surprised everyone... Your parents , they will be proud of you, your family will be proud of you... that's enough!"

Richard Vauban obviously misunderstood something again, with a sigh, he patted Dean's shoulder lightly.

And that empathetic appearance obviously shows that the other party has a similar experience.

In this regard, Dean naturally knew what was going on.

For Richard Vauban, his greatest wish is to break through the limitations of his current strength and truly enter the silver level.

So, the next moment, Dean looked at Richard Vauban and asked—

"Will Midsummer Night go to the Emerald City?".

"Yes! What's the matter?"

Richard Vauban asked puzzled.

"I need a sparring partner, can you have the honor to ask His Excellency Richard Vauban to take up this position?".

Dean asked Richard Vauban with a smile.

"certainly!"

Richard Vauban was taken aback for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Then, the sole heir of the Vauban family said formally: "Thank you!"

"First time I've ever heard of someone thanking me for getting spanked!"

Dean shrugged.

"Although I know you said this on purpose, why do I feel that my previous thanks are superfluous? Besides, there are all kinds of anxiety in my heart? Give me back my thanks!"

Richard Vauban said jokingly.

"I really can't do anything about this!"

Dean responded with a grin.

Then. The two laughed at the same time.

Showing a smile just like they should be at their age.

"By the way. Your territory is trading with barbarians. Be careful!"

Suddenly Richard Vauban thought of something and reminded Dean.

"What's wrong?"

Dean asked, looking serious.

Did he know that with Richard Vauban's character, he would never be aimless. Since he said so, there must be something that he didn't know about.

"Buche's grandfather and father 'died' a week ago - his grandfather was Chektor!"

Richard Vauban lowered his voice.

"Chector?!"

Dean was taken aback.

As for the barbarian patriarch Bu Qie, Dean had already guessed that the identity of the other party was not simple. But it never occurred to him that it would be Chektor's grandson.

The names of barbarian tribes are very easy to understand. Whatever the patriarch's name is, the tribe will be called.

For example, the small tribe owned by Buqie is called Buqie.

So if Buqie's grandfather is Chikdo, then the name of the tribe owned by his grandfather is also called Chikdo!

But in the north surrounded by ice and snow, there is only one barbarian tribe that can be named after Chektor.

That is the absolute power among the barbarians. With a population of 5,000, the Chektor tribe has an extraordinary imagination in the entire snowy forest and the northern ice field.

What's more. Most of the reinforcements that Grand Duke Jade borrowed from the barbarians were from this tribe.

As for the other chectors that Richard Vauban said?

Dean didn't think the other Chectors would be as serious as Richard Vauban.

"Buqie's grandfather and father 'died of illness' a week ago?"

Dean asked cautiously.

From Richard Vauban's words, Dean heard a hint of something extraordinary.

"Well, 'died of illness'... at least that's what we found out!"

Richard Vauban did not add any subjective meaning, but said it objectively.

"Do you believe?".

Dean asked after a sneer.

"The living conditions of the barbarians are very harsh. If ordinary emerald people are in such an environment, it is estimated that they will not be able to survive even one winter. However, the same ice and snow make the barbarians have physiques that are unimaginable to the emerald people. They may not have skills. But just in terms of physical strength, an ordinary barbarian can stand up to ordinary fighters in my knight order! Not to mention the chief and son of Chektor!"

Richard Vauban said slowly.

Then, looking at Dean, he took a deep breath and said, "So, I don't believe in the so-called 'death of illness'!"

"Richard, please tell the Marquis that I have something urgent to deal with...Tom!"

Dean said to Richard Vauban with apologies, and then called his servant.

Immediately, Tom came over with a box in his hand.

"This is a gift I brought to Lord Marquis from the Emerald City!"

Dean hands the box to Richard Vauban.

"Father hasn't received such a precious gift for a long time, he will be happy!"

Richard Vauban said with a smile.

It is not that the gift is expensive, but the importance of the identity of the gift giver.

Dean now has the title of Emerald's third gold powerhouse. Under such a title, the gifts given are naturally extraordinary.

"However, Dean, do you really want to participate in the internal strife of the Chekedore tribe? The barbarians are very xenophobic. Although you have given them the convenience of doing business, I don't think they will listen to your opinion because of it. !"

After handing over Dean's gift to his subordinates, Richard Vauban persuaded Dean.

"Believe me, I know how to deal with barbarians! Besides, I have a good relationship with Buqie. He must be alone at this time. I don't think I can stand by and watch!"

Dean said with a smile.

"Okay! However, if you need help, please feel free to tell me—the Knights of the Northland are willing to fight with you at any time!"

Richard Vauban nodded and said in a sworn tone.

"It will be my pleasure!"

Dean nodded and held out his palm.

Richard Vauban also extended his palm, and the two shook hands vigorously, and then bid farewell to each other and said goodbye to each other.

Dean and his party headed north at a faster speed than before.

"Aqiaoli..."

In the carriage, Dean murmured the name in a low voice.

No matter how the infighting between the Chektor tribe turns out to be, this 'Northern Beast Tamer' must ensure the safety of the other party.
