Chapter 264: Chapter 227: Accidental Encounter with the Queen’s Wedding?

The table was piled high with roasted meats, stacked layer upon layer.

The villagers of Emerald Hill were very clear about their current situation, so they brought out all their reserves. The roasting meat, infused with the fragrance of fruitwood, sizzled as it cooked over the fire, finally being served up dish by dish on the table.

Although there appeared to be a lot of meat, with dozens of Great Knights around, even ten times as much would not be enough.

Add to that the residents of Emerald Hill, nearly two hundred people squeezed together.

Lind had not wanted to abruptly hold a "feast", nor had the Soldiers, for they could easily conquer such a village time and again, as easily as drinking water, with nothing whatsoever to celebrate.

It was only the sudden news of the Blackfire Brothers that had brought Lind joy. More than celebrating, it was extremely important now to replenish their strength and prepare for the battle ahead.

He also harbored dissatisfaction with those at the Snake People’s fortress, as the exchanges between them had always been reserved.

It was likely that viscount’s reluctance to tell him the truth had to do with Lind’s intention to cross through the fortress. Had Lind known at that time that the Blackfire Brothers were in the central region, he would have definitely crossed the fortress, and no one could have stopped him.

The viscount probably held a similar understanding.

But the people were dead, everything was now in the past, and speaking of those things to the dead was pointless.

The scene was quiet.

The Soldiers revered Lind, even consciously controlling their own breaths, feeling within their Lord the blaze of a fire, an indication they might soon be thrust into another battle.

The villagers of Emerald Hill were caught in the midst of this unexpected banquet, the scene of their leader being effortlessly slain still vivid before their eyes. There were dozens of powerful Soldiers present, riding monstrous steeds with long fangs, circled overhead by bald and bizarre birds, leading gaunt yet ferocious hunting hounds.

The beautiful golden Armor and terrifying companion creatures caused one’s heart to quake, while the presence revered by such fearsome beings could, just by standing there, conjure countless terrifying legends in one’s mind.

If this meal wasn’t enough, could one become part of the next dish?

The figure was dressed in a suit of golden Armor, a cloak wrapped around his shoulders like a carried banner, the twisting patterns on the chestplate converging to form a simplified lion, a strength that involuntarily weakened one’s knees.

Lind indeed had not suppressed his aura. When the power of five types of Knights burst forth, even the soldiers of Star Dragon City felt dazzled.

The only one busy at the scene was Miss Doris, her pen moving frantically, deeming this moment of great value to record.

"This is our first return to the central region," Lind said, "However, I have received some not-so-good news. But rest assured, I won’t prattle on too long."

The Soldiers relaxed a bit at the atmosphere, but everyone was more concerned about the "not so good news". If the Lord himself said it was not so good, it must mean trouble was brewing.

"What awaits us is not just Calamity, but also a deeply entrenched rebellion. The power of Star Dragon City might seem quite fragile in the face of this force." Although Lind was unwilling to erode morale, starting a war with the arrogant Songbai Knight Guard of Permafrost Land would be a very irrational act.

Lind had no intention of concealing the strength of the enemy they would face, nor of exaggerating it. They had defeated countless enemies along the way, so it was best to face them head-on.

Doris thought she had come to understand Lind’s character through prior interactions. Before this, she had only a slight impression of Lind. If Lind had married Hedwin to become a prince consort, his name would perhaps appear frequently in her records. But later Lind became engaged to Miss Tione, that silent, gentle, and tall maiden.

The two had little contact, an uninheritable knight’s daughter was not a match for a future Baron. Although Armand was only a hereditary Baron, they had the right to enter the council, giving Armand’s rights more power than most Viscounts.

She had not heard the love stories of the two, and she had been curious at the time, for a chronicler should always be curious.

Upon meeting him again, she was nearly certain that Lind was after Miss Tione’s beauty, desiring to share a bed with a gentle and elegant maiden was not an unspeakable matter, and Lind never hid his thoughts. She admitted that she didn’t object to this notion.

But now, her contact with him at the dining table took Doris by surprise.

It wasn’t because he spoke of the morale-crushing intelligence; anyone who stayed here long enough was bound to hear such news. It was his attitude.

Aggressive?

She thought it was a very apt description.

It was as if something was chasing him, compelling him to initiate the next war without delay.

"We don’t have much time. I need to reach Dark Night Orchard within seven days to capture the Blackfire Brothers, and then leave!" He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if discussing a trifling matter with an already determined outcome.

His strong confidence made Doris catch her breath.

Blonde hair, a handsome and rugged face, and the intense confidence now on display shone like gold, dazzling Doris.

She was certain that when she had encountered Lind in the Royal Palace, he had not shown such charisma.

"After this meal, we move out," Lind continued, "I will lead the team!"

The roasted meat had cooled somewhat, but the Soldiers ate with relish, their teeth crushing into the meat and squeezing out the juices with a sizzling sound that made one’s mouth water.
