Chapter 1173 Deterrence

Facing Haakon's suspicion, Joan didn't defend himself, and there was no need for it.

The galloping knights were all wearing blue imperial military uniforms, with magic crystal shotguns slung across their backs. There were no less than 300 knights in total. They were the ace troops of the Midgard colonial regiment, the "Blue Lancers".

Among the two leading knights, one of them was Joan's old acquaintance, the commander of the "Blue Lancers" and Major Battalion Commander Henry James.

Beside Major James, the heroic man in black armor, with a red battle ax slanted on his back, and riding a black horse is Baron Benedict Laval, the commander of the garrison of Fort Lindeep. The aborigines of the Asa tribe hated him as the "executor" and regarded him as the incarnation of the devil king in the world.

"Gods, this must be an illusion! How could 'Executioner' Laval appear in such a place?"

Haakon's eyes widened in surprise and he couldn't close his mouth.

"Don't be too happy!"

Slude came to Joan's side and stared coldly at the cavalry team on the other side of the Mead River.

"Laval may not have come to rescue us. With his usual style, he is more likely to join forces with the white dragons to kill us."

Hearing what she said, Qiao An also murmured in his heart, doubting the purpose of His Excellency the Commander.

Also unable to figure out the purpose of Baron Laval's visit was the group of white dragons in the sky.

Vignir whispered a few words, and a white dragon beside him left the formation, retracted its wings and landed on the opposite side of the river bank, and strode towards the cavalry formation.

"You despicable colonists, this is not the place for you to come, if you don't want to die, go back to Deep Fort—"

The white dragon's aggressive roar was interrupted by the sound of metal chains colliding.

Baron Laval took off the legendary battle ax named "King of Fire" behind his backhand, and suddenly threw it at the arrogant and powerful white dragon opposite him.

The flaming battle ax hovered and danced in the air, like a blazing fireball, dragging a chain and slashing towards the white dragon.

Bai Long was taken aback, forced to swallow the second half of the words, and hastily turned sideways to avoid the attack of the flying axe.

Baron Laval's face was expressionless, his wrist flicked lightly, and the chain rattled. The tomahawk flying in the air was pulled by the chain, turned a strange angle in the air, and passed against the white dragon's neck.

Dragging the chain, the tomahawk wrapped three times around the dragon's neck, entwining it tightly.

Sir Laval grabbed the chain with one hand, and he couldn't see how hard it was, and dragged the desperately struggling dragon, leaving a deep rut on the grass.

"Damn human! How dare you—"

The white dragon was dragged by chains to Jazz's horse, still struggling and cursing angrily.

Sir Laval's unusually strong black horse, with eyes like burning coals, stared at the white dragon coldly, suddenly raised its front hooves, and stomped heavily on the white dragon's head.

boom!

Bailong seemed to have been hit by a weightless hammer, his huge head was buried deep in the ground, his mouth was forced to close, and he whimpered and groaned in pain, but he couldn't even utter a complete syllable.

Sir Laval held the chain tightly with his right hand, slowly raised his right arm wearing a black iron glove, and hooked his index finger to Vignier in the air, his intention was self-evident.

The "White Prince" of Winterhold and the commander of Linyuan Castle, one in the air and one on the ground, looked at each other and faced each other silently.

Joan felt that the dull air was about to freeze. In this short minute, everyone including him held their breath, and their hearts were so nervous that they were about to jump out of their throats.

In the end, Vignier was the first to give up the confrontation, landed and turned into a human form, walked up to Sir Laval, stroked his chest with his right hand, and bowed in salute.

Sir Laval returned him a military salute on horseback, then turned off the horse, shook his arm, untied the chain around the white dragon's neck, and retracted the battle axe.

The white dragon got rid of the shackles, with a face full of shame and anger, and was about to pounce on Baron Laval violently. Vignier turned around and gave it a look. The cold eyes made the dragon shiver, and retreated angrily.

Sir Laval and Vignier were talking in low tones by the river. The distance was too far, Joan couldn't hear what they were talking about, and it was not easy to eavesdrop, so he had to hide his curiosity in his heart and wait for the development of the situation.

After a brief exchange, Vignir nodded reluctantly, turned back into a giant dragon and soared into the air, leading the White Dragon Guard to leave the river beach, and disappeared into the sky not long after.

Baron Laval got on his horse, shook the reins, and the dragon-fearing black steed under his crotch ran towards the opposite side of the river in small steps.

As the war horse waded through the water, the hooves of the horse actually floated up on the wide and swift river, as if stepping on solid ice, crossing the river calmly and ashore.

Captain Stone gave Logan and Elder Hunter a wink, and the three broke away from the refugee team and faced Baron Laval.

"Joan, let's go too!"

Haakon would not miss this good opportunity to join in the fun, and he dragged Joan to the shore excitedly.

Seeing this scene, Slude, Hailar, and Zion also followed.

"Your Excellency the Baron, I really didn't expect you to save us," Elder Hunter said with a complicated expression, "No matter what, my clansmen and I will never forget your kindness."

Baron Laval shook his head, and interrupted Elder Hunter to thank him coldly: "I have nothing to do with you Asa people here, and you don't need to be grateful."

Elder Hunter showed astonishment and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Baron Laval's indifferent eyes turned away from his face and turned to Captain Stone, with anger in his eyes.

"Wal Stone, you disappoint me."

"Uh, my lord... I'm very sorry, I did not fully follow your order." Captain Stone rubbed his hands on the back of his neck, and explained with a smile, "But we can't blame us all, it was the bastards of Winterhold who moved first. hand, the reconnaissance company was only forced to fight back."

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense. This is the last time I warn you. If you still dare to make your own way in the future, take off your military uniform and go back to your hometown to plant your cornfield!"

Captain Stone shrunk his neck, too frightened to make a sound.

Baron Laval looked at Joan, Hyrule, Audrey, and Holden. Although his face was still indifferent, there was a little warmth in his eyes.

"As for you four little guys, I originally expected a lot from you, but it's a pity that you are still too young, and you were spoiled by that bastard who was afraid of chaos by Wall Stone. These days, I have been worrying a lot."

"Before you got involved in the farce in Elk Town, your performance was pretty good. I can barely give you 10 points for this internship, and don't even think about it!"

After being reprimanded by Baron Laval, Joan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Hailar and the Zion siblings also showed expressions of relief.

Since the four interns followed Captain Stone into Elk Town, everything they did after that went against Sir Laval's intentions. To put it lightly, it was called "not doing business properly", and to say it seriously, it was "disobeying military orders."

Originally, they were all mentally prepared to be disqualified from their internships. Unexpectedly, Baron Laval's face was cold and soft-hearted. Instead of complaining to the school about their misdeeds, he even gave them an "excellent" internship score. He was born and died, and finally his work was not in vain.
