.

  Although the beautiful wings have degenerated into mere ornaments, the swans never gave up their dream of the blue sky, and their gaze has always belonged to the azure heavens.

  The Swan Tribe, like the Fox Tribe, is also a tribe that produces beautiful women. The Swan Maiden is the most beautiful and sacred maiden in the entire continent. Their pure white wings make them seem like angels descending from heaven to the mortal world. If the Fox Maidens' charm can stir up every man's heart, then the Swan Maidens' sanctity undoubtedly makes all men have a desire to possess and protect her.

  Similarly, the price of Swan Maiden in the human black market is also astonishingly high, and like the Lonely Clan's maiden, it is a rare commodity.

  Many people also believe that the angels depicted in the frescoes of the Cathedral of St. Paul, which has the widest dissemination range on the Aegean continent, are actually Swan Maidens, with the only difference being that the Swan Maidens do not have a halo on their heads.

  The Swan Tribe's territory is located in the southwestern part of the Kingdom, facing the Sunset Marsh. The Sunset Marsh is the domain of the Druids, where dozens of marsh druid tribes live, with a population of around 50,000 people, which has already reached a level that threatens the safety of the Kingdom of Bimon.

  Druids and elves have an inexplicable blood relationship, but druids do not have the innate beauty of elves. Most druids are rough and rugged in appearance, with thick, mysterious tattoos on their faces that make it difficult for strangers to distinguish between male and female.

  Druids, also known as Aviari, are the best beast tamers. The ancient druidic art of taming can subdue many powerful beasts for their use. On the continent of Aegina, there was once a brief but glorious elven dynasty, and the druids played an indispensable role in it, often appearing in the poems of traveling bards.

  However, for some unknown reason, the Druids and Elves split apart later on, never to see each other again in life or death, no longer acknowledging a blood relationship between them.

  Feral Druids are excellent fast and agile melee troops, as they can not only lead a beast army but also transform into powerful bears and eagles that soar over mountains and forests. In the heyday of the elves, druids were the trump card in their battle lineup, providing the best shield for the elven archers behind them with their robust bodies.

  According to legend, when a Druid cultivates to the highest realm, they can even transform into the strongest creature on the mainland - the giant dragon, possessing some of its unique dragon powers.

  The intention of King Bimon in arranging the Swan Tribe here is to seal off the airspace with the "Forbidden Sky War Song" of the Smaug Tribe, cutting off one of Drui's powerful transformation abilities.

  Imagine if there were no Swan Tribe, the capital Sabak would have countless hawks descending from the sky overnight and transforming into bears on landing. What a concept?

  The Swan Tribe has three vassal tribes. This is an exception unique to the Kingdom of Bhiman, even the royal families of Rhein and Taego only have two vassal tribes each.

  The Ostrich tribe is a hereditary vassal of the Swan family, but was dispatched to the desert area on the northwest border. Therefore, the two amphibious water tribes that were left intact after the sea-land war 2,000 years ago and guarded the Sunset Swamp together with the Swan tribe are the Left Dan Nu Frog Warriors and the Turtle Warriors of the Mote Tribe, assisting the Swans in guarding the borders adjacent to the Druids.

  Gatani Knight's father is the kingdom's "Sacrificial Legend" Murini Lord, such a noble family came to Florence, even Helen felt a bit honored, let alone others who were still civilians like Bimon.

  The great shame is the legendary noble among nobles, Smay Swan. The helmet was removed, and Gottani let everyone's eyes be satisfied.

  Swan Knight Song Tanni not only has a slender, icy silver armor that can't be wrapped around her proud figure, but also has a breathtakingly beautiful face. The lower corner of her beautifully lined lips has a beauty mole, and due to her extremely pale skin, this black beauty mole is particularly eye-catching.

  At a glance, it's clear that the armor and cross-shaped long sword are masterpieces, and her elegant and noble temperament is coated with a layer of bold and refreshing heroic spirit.

  What still catches the eye is the pair of pure white wings behind her, the wings matching her absolutely beautiful face, exuding an unspeakable sense of holiness, this sense of holiness will make people who see it involuntarily feel ashamed.

  This may be an advantage, and it can also be said to be a disadvantage.

  Because of those holy wings, Gottani's beauty has always been a bit unapproachable. Her eyes, as if carved from ice and snow, only show indifference, and her entire being exudes an aura of noble elegance that rejects everything within a thousand miles.

  "She's a piece of ice that refuses to melt." Jingyu whispered behind Liu Zhen's back, whispering to Eve.

  "I'm glad to meet you." Liu Zhenhong nodded towards Gatan with a big smile. This girl, although beautiful, was from the prestigious Smai tribe and was the beloved daughter of "Sacrificial Legend" Muriniu, her noble status almost rivaling that of the kingdom's royalty. The fact that the temple had sent her as the guardian knight for Little Fox showed just how much they valued Helen.

  The temple's "favor" made Liu shocked and suddenly vigilant, making him even more resistant to this swan.

  "Miss Kotani, you're actually Master Munio's daughter! I've heard Coach Cui mention you before, and I couldn't believe it at the time - how could a Swan Tribe member become a warrior? Now I know everything the coach said was true." Helen warmly grasped the female knight's hand.

  "Helen, the Temple sent me to protect you, it's my honor." Gottani removed the silver thread gloves from her hands, smiled faintly, and patted Helen's slender small hand with a clear and crisp voice that was as charming as her appearance: "The Smay tribe has warriors, but the Matchika tribe having a priestess is even more sensational."

  This sentence made Liu feel shocked and unpleasant no matter how he listened to it.

  "The temple has reported to the main temple in the royal city that Helen has produced a 'Life Hymn' and successfully subdued a dual-system magical Komodo War Beast. This matter has even shocked the highest-ranking Red Robe High Priestess." The beautiful snake smiled as she looked at her beloved disciple Helen: "The kingdom's concern for this matter exceeds your imagination."

  "This is not good," said Liu Zhenhua.

  The kingdom's re-emergence of the Komodo War Beast ritual from the dust of history has caused quite a stir, and the Kingdom Temple still needs to conduct another round of consultations on the issue of Helen's future. The Northeast Temple is also in intense debate over whether to add Helen's participation quota to the 'National Olympic Ritual Festival' to be held next spring - if the temple knows that Helen naturally evolved the 'Bimon War Dance'. This controversy should have been completely suspenseless.

  The beautiful snake said: "As for the remote wilderness of Feilongcui, the Great Shaman Vian actually doesn't trust it either. Due to the outbreak of war in the northwest, all border troops had to withdraw their elite forces to rush to the front line, so recently the defense power of the northeastern province has appeared somewhat empty. The temple hasn't seen your two followers' strength as warriors. So we must send two excellent Temple Knights here to feel at ease. If necessary, I can also stay for a while after teaching you the corresponding war songs."

  "Combining Waltz and Battle Hymn at the same time can produce two different effects of Battle Hymn. If Lady Helen doesn't participate in the 'National Olympiad', it's simply a blasphemy!" Even Silver Knight Song Tanni nodded in agreement.

  A dragon's sacrifice and a Templar's vigilance suddenly made Elder Anduril nod in approval. A sense of security surged.

  This old man didn't know that his lord's demonic pet, Guo Guo, was actually more powerful than the undefeated Northeastern Province champion, and even more formidable than a sub-dragon demonic pet.

  "What the Temple of the Kingdom thinks is their business, but wherever Helen goes, I must go too. She's my mentor and can't abandon me." Liu Zhen felt that the temple had the intention to take Helen away from him, so he immediately threw out the ugly words first.

  "Richard, don't be so controlling anymore. Helen's future is no longer something you and I can control." The beautiful snake sighed softly: "For the sake of Helen's prospects, you should let go a bit and not always constrain her."

  "Isn't the Temple being too realistic? When Helen's family and all the Foxes in Maple Village were kidnapped and killed, why didn't the Temple take emergency measures? Now that Helen has produced 'Life Praise' and 'Natural Evolution', they're changing their tune?" Liu Zhen's words fell on deaf ears.

  "That's life, Richard." The beautiful snake instructor's voice was a little hoarse.

  "This is sycophancy, my mentor. The temple can do whatever it wants, but there's one thing... " Liu Zhenshen said: "Hailan will not go anywhere! She'll be right by my side."

  "Lord Richard, be careful! Your words have a blasphemous tone!" Gottani said coldly from the side.

  "Stop bothering me! Obis Laichi! Desecrate this temple!" Liu Zhen was now feeling someone peeping at his treasure, a burst of ghost fire suddenly appeared, and he was worried that there was no place to vent.

  "Richard..." and Helen chimed in unison, wanting Liu to shut up quickly. Such blasphemous words could be considered a serious crime, depending on how one looked at it.

  Gatani's movements were much faster than their words, and after a soft cry, a cluster of faint silver air burst out all over her body. Her long white gold hair moved automatically without wind, bringing strong pressure to Liu Zhen, and Gatani's beautiful and slender eyes were also filled with indignation and anger.

  Liu Zhen's entire body did not emit even a hint of radiance, but the ferocity in his eyes far surpassed that of Song Tanni, the female knight.

  "Chi energy?" The elderly Anduril beside him was stunned.

  "Dou Qi" is a profound martial art, always the exclusive domain of high-ranking human warriors, and as famous throughout the continent as the high-ranking warrior's "Autonomous Frenzy" of the Demon Clan.

  But among the Bamum, there are no warriors who practice this mysterious martial art. This young Swan Tribe knightess, known for her physical weakness since childhood, was able to burst forth with "dou qi" at a very young age, which is quite astonishing and unconventional.

  Even Cui Pei couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment. However, she quickly understood that Lord Murini had traveled to the human kingdom before and had a follower who was an outstanding human warrior, and this swan-like young lady's fighting spirit was probably learned from her father's follower.

  "What's the use of having internal energy or not, just swing a big blade and go. What internal energy is also useless." Liu Zhen was cold and hummed, he had seen many cases of brick-breaking martial arts and knife-breaking qigong, this kind of seemingly beautiful thing could intimidate others, but intimidating him was just a dream.

  The militia of Feilongcui saw the hostility of the Swan Maiden Knight. One by one, they let out a tiger's roar and surrounded the female knight in a flurry, each trying to be the first.

  "Come on and fight me!" Korina strode forward, a massive ivory greatsword held aloft in her hand.

  "What are you trying to do? Want to rebel?" Liu Zhenpeng burst out in a loud scolding: "Are you crazy? The Knights of Gotany are the followers of Lady Helen!"

  "Lord Richard, I demand you apologize for your blasphemy against the temple earlier!" Gottani seemed to be a stubborn one too, completely disregarding the menacing aura of the group of burly men in front of her. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with cold stars as she rested her hand on the hilt of the cross-shaped sword at her waist, staring intently at Liu Zhen.

  Her words caused another stir among the militia of Feilongcui, and Gu De narrowed his eyes, clenching his fists with a loud crack.

  "It's easy for you to apologize, if you can pick up this stick I will apologize." Liu Zhen took over the dense array and threw it in front of the Swan Knight.

  The Swan Knightess gave him a cold glance. The silver aura's radiance surged violently, lifting the Wolf Fang Club that was stuck in the ground, and although it was extremely strenuous, she managed to pick it up.

  Guo Guo and the little piglet circled around her a few times, their beady eyes staring at Liu Zhen, with mischievous intentions written all over their faces. Jing Yu hastily came over to take them away. "Wow, that's amazing!" Liu Zhen exclaimed, "Ovis Laichi, this is the effect of Dou Qi's additive, right? Amazing! I apologize!"

  "As a guardian knight, I will be responsible for all of Helene's daily life and diet. The temple has granted me this authority." Gatanie "rustled" open a sheepskin scroll: "Even the Lord of Falcoln has no right to interfere with or restrain me."

  It's all over; from now on, don't even think about touching Helen again. Liu Zhen was heartbroken.

  "Who does this little hoof think she is? Isn't she just a noble? Obis Laichi!" Evele was getting a bit fed up.

  Gatanni glanced at the crystal crown on Avril's head, looked up and down at the mermaid, didn't say a word, let out a cold hum, turned around and gave Avril a back of the head.

  "Haha......I've met a madman." Liu Zhen said.

  Helen returned to the cave under Gantney's urging, one step at a time.

  Liu Zhen looked intently at the two of them as they walked away into the distance.

  Everyone feels a bit disheartened, originally quite happy, but after being messed with like this, there's no interest left.

  A loud crash. Gu De slammed the large wine cup made of bamboo root to the ground, stood up in anger, took big strides to the edge of the bamboo forest, squinted his eyes and looked around for a while, then knocked down a thick Buddha's belly bamboo, and pulled off all the leaves and twigs on it with three or two handfuls.

  "Pan Shuai, what are you doing?" Jingyu looked at Gude.

  "Go beat that little girl into a concussion first..." Gu De didn't even turn his head as he went up the red earth slope, the bamboo pole half dragging on the ground, leaving behind a long streak.

  Jingyu wanted to go up and pull him, but was held back by Liu Zhen.

  In a short while, a dull hum came from the kiln cave on the red soil slope, and a tall and sturdy figure flew straight out of the kiln cave mouth, fell onto the phoenix tree in the red soil square, broke off several branches, and heavily fell to the ground.

  Dust flew everywhere, Gu De's face was pressed against the ground, with a handful of leaves on the back of his head.

  There was a stone on the ground. When Gu De fell down, his face happened to hit it and the stone split into three pieces.

  A bamboo stick also flew out of the cave and fell to the ground with a loud crash, breaking in two.

  Corina sprang up and so did Bellamy.

  "Stop!" Cui Peishan gave them a cold glance.

  Good got up from the ground, rubbed his nose and sniffed. Fortunately, there was no blood.

  "Keep drinking." Liu Zhenhong patted Gu De's shoulder and shouted around.

  "Richard, as a toastmaster, wouldn't it be better to drink less?" Cui Peishan said thank you to the little girl who gave her "ice cream", and smiled ambiguously at Liu Zhenshen.

  "Know know......" Liu Zhen felt his head was really splitting into two.

  This is not allowed, that is not permitted, what am I living in this world for? Liu Zhen thought to himself.

  Bella noticed the old man's displeasure and immediately urged the slaves to speed up their eating. A large group of slaves were hastily dispatched, wolfing down their portions quickly, and were driven back into the huts.

  "This is what I got for you at the temple." The beautiful snake guide took out a silver-glowing Medusa badge from her pocket and handed it to the depressed Liu Zhen: "Once the war with the desert humans starts on the northwest front line, the entire Northeast Province's military strength will be a bit tight. As the vanguard of the Northeast Province, the territory of Feilong will become a shield for protecting civilians north of the Sanggan River in the future. You, Li Cha, will have to bear great responsibility. This badge is given to you, wishing you can harvest another giant demon pet soon."

  "Didn't the temple ask you to bring some gold coins?" Liu Zhen took over the badge, and the silver badge changed its angle to reflect a beautiful glow.

  "Gold coins?" The beautiful snake instructor smiled, pursing the corner of her mouth: "If the war continues, I'm afraid the noble upper house will come to collect military expenses from you too, who made you a noble as well."

  Whoever comes to collect taxes will be beaten. Liu Zhen was shocked, his face smiled but not his heart, and he nodded silently, with the idea of taking this silver badge to exchange for money sprouting in his mind.

  "Every year at this time, the human merchants from Dongbei Province return home. You can set up a ferry and charge some corresponding fees." The beautiful snake stood up: "I can only teach you that much, as a mentor, I shouldn't have taught you how to grab money, which is a demon that blinds your heart."

  Liu Zhen looked at the beautiful snake instructor who had gone up to the red earth high slope, went to the den of the little fox and the swan female knight, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

  "Are we going to continue attacking the Razor Hill quilboar and the Defias bandits tomorrow?"

  "I'm not going." Liu Zhen shook his head, grasping the wine cup, thinking for a moment before putting it down. He tore off a large piece of roasted lamb leg and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously.

  "Why didn't you go?" Corina gasped, having just heard Good blow his own trumpet and was itching to try out her own skills tomorrow.

  " Pacify the internal before expanding abroad!" Liu Zhen was shaken and burst out laughing.

  The first dinner party of Feilongcui ended quietly in this very awkward atmosphere.
