After leaving the study, Freya did not stay directly with two guards went to the maid special rest place, to Ai Li said this matter of confidentiality.
Under a little threat, Avery really scared only dared to nod and guarantee, for the baron's terror in the castle under the servants are very well aware of, even a simple theft, will be punished with death Xing, not to mention this kind of military secrets of the big event.
Until the taken Avery disappeared from sight, Freya returned to her bedroom.
Taking off the tattered dress used for disguise, simply washing up and changing into civilian clothes, a fresh Frya sat in front of the desk.
Although the cross sword in her hand was not yet at the point of being scrapped, she still went to the armoury to replace it with a new one as she had high requirements for weapons.
Touching her chest, the trace of heat flow did not subside after the battle, but instead had a tendency to vaguely break through, and a faint sense of chi ran through her chest through her limbs and even all parts of her body.
Vaguely Freya felt that her body was undergoing a wonderful change, it seemed that the trace of heat flow was slowly stimulating all the qualities of her body, of which agility was particularly prominent, just a simple walk can now bring up the sound of the wind, which was a natural reaction that she had not yet adapted to her own changes.
"This battle actually forced out your potential?" Feeling the changes in herself, Freya had a joy in her eyes.
However, when she thought about it carefully, this was also an inevitable result, originally she was just short of the critical foot, even without this battle she thought that she would break through in the next few days, this time it was just an accelerated catalyser.
Once she broke through the Knight level, her own physical quality would increase drastically to the point of transcending the ordinary to reach a new level.
If the current Freya faced that group of soldiers, just the suppression of physical quality can easily kill them all, this is the difference between Knight level and ordinary warriors, simple quantity already has no great effect on this level of powerhouse, only by relying on the equal strength of the people can fight with one.
Gently waved her new cross sword, silver sword light in her hands flashed, in not far away from the chair suddenly missing a corner, once again a flash, in the window is fluttering a small insect immediately fell down, it is certainly she cut off a wing.
Looking at her casual strike, Freya nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, the sky had all but darkened, and the pitch-black castle was lit with a single torch on the main road.
Just as Freya was immersed in the matter of her breakthrough, a large escort on warhorses flew out of the castle gates, looking like there was some kind of urgent event.
And inside a window below Freya's bedroom, a large black bird suddenly flew out of it with great speed.
Vaguely, she saw a rolled up piece of parchment and a round object wrapped in cloth tied to the legs of the large bird.
"Looks like the message has been sent." Freya narrowed her eyes slightly, not closing her gaze until the bird became one with the night. "Next, it's up to father's decision..."
After all, if there was a war, the Grimm territory would undoubtedly become a battlefield for both armies, and this would undoubtedly be the biggest blow to the Grimm family, which had been operating for many years.
Now if Freya was allowed to sit in the baron's position and think about it, then sending troops first while the other side was still in hiding would be the best outcome for anyone.
Because of the forest's obstruction, the people sent by Saladin will definitely not be many, even with Beltar's support it's impossible to make a big wave, at most they will be considered as advance troops, cannon fodder used to fight the first battle.
But it wasn't the Baron's place to say anything about this kind of decision, the next thing to look at was still the people sent by the Empire.
For Freya's disappearance for a day and Avery's house arrest in the castle did not play any ripples, only Mary and her brother Eric asked once, was Freya with a haphazardly made up reasons to race past.
And the baron after this incident also did not mention to go to Kent City, Freya after returning to the castle, more than ten days in a row are in the self-summarising refinement of their own swordsmanship and now the body's adaptation as well as the qi sense of stimulation.
In order to adapt to their own knight level power as soon as possible.
And in the iron mining area that night, with Howard as the leader of the soldiers in the Belta formally issued a raid, but got only a symbolic resistance, Belta and his family members, as if they are all hunkered down in the territory do not dare to go out again, all quiet and do not know in the brewing of what things.
Fifteen days later ......
Wearing a long goose-coloured dress, Freya quietly sat on one of the high platforms in the castle, holding a thick book in her hands and carefully looking at it.
It was a popular novel that seemed to be from this world, the author was an unsigned bard who wrote it, the content was very mixed but felt very real, most of it was written about things and objects that the author saw in his travels in various places, and the most fascinating part of it was the story written about the legend of the sorcerer, which made Freya feel very interesting.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
She knew that there were many intelligent races that existed in this world besides humans, but nothing was known about the transcendent powers, and those fey were just creatures like humans.
As for sorcerers, no one had ever really seen them, at least not in the places she knew, and those that did were merely rumours.
The backwardness of civilisation also had a great limitation on the source and transmission of information, she could only look for clues through some books, it was said that a kind of human called Mystics often appeared in the countries to the north, most of them had inhuman strength, only the description of that particular group of people was very vague, just from the word so that there was no way for her to tell.
And this world is much, much bigger than the Earth, the human living space and origin is only a small part of it, in some unknown places or mountains or the sea, there will always be some strange and weird things appear, and some of them some are legendary in the human books, and some of them are just common in normal times.
As for wizards, Freya still looked at it with a curious and interested mind.
Gently closing the book, Freya stood up from the high platform, the wind in the distance blowing her hair in a very comfortable feeling.
A 'rumbling' sound seemed to be audible in the distance
Slightly squinting her eyes, formally entering the knight level her eyesight also seemed to have been strengthened, within her line of sight, in the distance the main road leading to the castle a row of thick smoke blew up, vaguely a row of armies on warhorses were spreading over, vast and mighty.
Looking at the length of the line, the number of people was no less than two thousand.
The leader is a black-haired male without a helmet, about thirty years old, his appearance is not very handsome but very heroic, his hair is blown wildly by the wind, his well-proportioned body is wrapped in golden armour and appears to be heroic, it looks like he is the leader of this team.
At the entrance of the castle, the Baron and Howard, who had already returned, and others lined up to greet the army from the Empire with a grand salute.
The front of the army carried two large banners depicting an axe and a crossed swords crossing each other below the two weapons was a cloud of blood-coloured thorns, which Freya knew to be the symbol of the Byron Empire.
"The Imperial army has finally arrived!"
Freya narrowed her eyes slightly, the arrival of the army would mean the beginning of something, something that was unknown to be good or bad.
The people in the territory must have seen the arrival of the army as well, the blockade of military secrets would surely be released that day as well, as for what they thought and how they made their decision, it was no longer in the Baron's hands.
Soon the army arrived at the entrance of the castle, the leader of the black-haired man skilfully rolled over and dismounted from his horse, directly walked up and smiled with the Baron and Howard a person to come to a bear hug, looks like it seems to be familiar with the person.
After a few people climbed in front of the castle and talked for a few moments, the Baron reached out and pointed to her standing on a raised platform in the castle.
The dark haired man smiled and looked in the direction the Baron was pointing and froze when he saw Freya standing on a raised platform with a book in one hand then he smiled and opened his mouth and waved as a greeting.
The voice was muffled from the distance, as if it meant something like 'hello', but Freya nodded with the same smile in return.
"Looks like an old acquaintance of father's." Mentally speculating, she jumped straight off the high platform and headed towards the Baron and the others.
The army of two thousand people was not all going to be inside the castle, they would have a chosen camping site, which might not be too far away from the castle's location, after all, once the war started Grimm's Castle would directly turn into a base point and logistic point for the imperial army.
Soon Freya arrived at the castle gates and stood with the Baron, the army in front of them had already left one by one, leaving only the dark haired man and two tough looking soldiers behind.
"This is Earl Philip" the Baron smiled as he took her hand and introduced the man to him "and this is my third daughter Freya."
'Earl?' Freya glanced at the dark haired man who was clearly under forty, she didn't realise it was actually a count...
"Greetings, Lord Earl Philip" Without much thought, she lifted her long skirt and slightly curtsied.
"What count not count, you are too polite teacher." Philip directly forward to pick up the salute of Freya, smiled and said "If it is not you saved me at the beginning, I so far may have long been buried in the wilderness, if at that time you and big brother Bailey follow me back to the imperial capital, how can only be confined to this kind of countryside small place it."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that after so many years have passed, you still remember about this matter." The Baron laughed "Back then, I was used to seeing the collusion in the army before I was unwilling to go to the imperial capital with you, and since this is the root of my Grimm family, how could I leave this place behind."
"I and Andre have the same idea's, I also don't want to live a life of playing mind games all the time." Howard interjected.
"Ugh..." sighed Philip.
