The boy's village was located not far outside the forest. From a distance, Ella saw the older children in the village lining up to practice assassination under the supervision of several soldiers.
Commanding these soldiers was a knight with a chest full of medals. Seeing the boy returning to the village empty-handed, he indiscriminately asked, "Where's your spear?"
The boy lowered his head and timidly replied: "Lost, lost."
"lost?"
The knight swung the riding whip in his hand and was about to hit the boy with his head, but Drague grabbed the whip. The knight looked at Ella and Drague with wide eyes, and asked sternly: "Who are you? Do you want to violate the laws established by the King of Knights?"
"French?" Ella's brows furrowed more and more tightly, "What on earth is Alfred doing? I want to see him."
"Meet the King of Knights?" the knight blurted out, "Just you..."
"Who wants to see me?"
A familiar voice from Ella came from the distance. Alfred rode on a white horse and walked towards this side surrounded by a group of knights. The knight was slightly surprised, and after giving a military salute, he asked: "King of Knights, why are you here?"
"Yesterday I received a report that there was a giant dragon here, so I came here with the knights. Do you have any new information about the dragon?"
Alfred's words surprised Ella. The place where they landed was just a remote town, some distance away from the capital of Britain. It would take half a day just to send a message to the capital. But they only stayed in the forest for one night, and Alfred actually led the team there in person. Such a fast reaction speed is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
Looking at Alfred carefully, it seems that he is no different from a few years ago. However, Ella vaguely felt that his eyes seemed a little more surly than before.
At this time, Alfred also noticed Ella: "King of Sweden? Why are you here?"
"I'm coming on a dragon."
Ella used this sentence to tell Alfred the whole story very concisely. Then, she looked pointedly at the child and the riding crop in the knight's hand.
"Gareth, what happened?" Alfred asked the knight on horseback.
The knight named Gareth replied: "King of Knights, this child failed the test and even lost his spear. I was just trying to teach him a lesson!"
Hearing this, Alfred rode up to the thin boy and asked, "What's your name?"
The child lowered his head and returned: "Nelson."
"Nelson, why did you lose your spear?"
"I met a pack of wolves..."
"You couldn't beat them?"
"My health has never been good..."
"Then why are you being chased by wolves?" Alfred asked after him, "Didn't Gareth teach you how to skillfully avoid the beasts in the forest and protect yourself?"
"Taught...but..."
"But it's not practical in reality? Or did you encounter an accident?" Alfred chased after him. "It doesn't matter. Repeat what you learned to me to prove that you are still a strong warrior."
The boy stammered and was speechless. Seeing this, Gareth said loudly from the side: "King of Knights, this guy has been skipping classes and has never studied seriously!"
Alfred stared at the boy: "Nelson, is what Gareth said true?"
The boy hung his head deeply.
Alfred emphasized his tone: "Nelson, if you can't protect yourself from the wolves, how can you face the Tianfang Empire's army? Do you think the Tianfang Empire is kinder than the wolves? Do you think that as long as you lower your head, they will not Will they point the sword at you? Do you think that with a few tears, they will untie the shackles of the slaves and set you free?"
"King of Knights, you don't need to talk so much to this guy!" Gareth said from the side, "He failed to pass the man's test. According to the law, he will be whipped!"
"My laws are not to consume unnecessary whips, but to train my people into strong warriors."
Alfred waved his hand, and his attendant walked up to the boy holding a shield and a sword.
"Nelson, I give you one more chance - take hold of the sword and shield I gave you."
The boy gritted his teeth and took the sword and shield from the attendant's hand.
"Gareth, train him from the beginning. He is not in good health. We mainly teach him how to prevent and avoid attacks." Alfred ordered the knight, then turned to the boy and said, "Nelson, try it next time. When you return, remember to bring your sword and shield with you - even if you come back lying on your shield, you must not throw it away."
After listening to a series of conversations, Ella asked doubtfully: "Alfred, what on earth is going on? I'm not surprised that the pirate kingdom is like this. Is this also a British custom?"
"King of Sweden, the Tianfang Empire has expanded its power to the Alemannic Federation, how can you sleep peacefully?" Alfred looked at Ella sideways, "In order to protect my country, I must make it a warless country. Invincible war machine!"
"war machine?"
"When everything is ready, I will send a final ultimatum to the Alemannic Federation. If they are still unwilling to break away from the Tianfang Empire, I will lead troops to attack the Palace of Versailles and use the Alemannic Federation as a weapon to fight against the Tianfang Empire. The front line." Alfred drew his sword and pointed toward the east, "I vow to attack Inns Farrakhan and kill the King of Kings. King of Sweden, when that happens, please send troops to help me. "
"Alfred, I am here this time for the Tianfang Empire." Ella took a deep breath and said, "The apostles of the Tianfang Empire just invaded the Qiqiu Empire, intending to resurrect the Son of God who died in battle a thousand years ago—— Alfred, in order to stop that apostle, I want to ask you to lend Meili a hand."
"Merry?" Upon hearing the name, Alfred's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. "Sorry...King of Sweden, Mellie can't help you now."
"Why?" Ella was anxious, "Those secular emperors, even if they imitate their predecessors and claim to be the king of kings, they are all false. But the Son of God - that is the real king of kings! If he is resurrected, will you still Can you keep your Britain?"
"Two years ago, I returned to Britain from the Pirate Kingdom, and met the magician from the Tianfang Empire on the way." Alfred said with a sullen face, "In order to protect us, Mellie fought desperately against the magician. But, that The magician is far more powerful than her..."
Ella held her breath: "What happened next?"
"Do you have to let me finish what I'm saying?"
With a "pop" sound, Drague fell to his knees and fell to the ground.
