一名衣着华丽的大贵族终于忍耐不住了，由于对方是个注定与王权无缘的王子，所以他说话间也丝毫没有顾忌：
“我们完全有能力将魔怪抵挡在第一线！”
“这么说你是承认他们完全有能力做到这种事，对不对？”华莱士王对方耸了耸肩膀。声音中的讽刺更甚：
“再让我们大胆猜测一下……”
“够了！”
加里国王没有让他继续说下去，冷着脸望向红衣主教：
“吸引罗赛维亚人的注意力，使他们分散力量布置到北部防线，我们已经做到了一半，希望教宗陛下不会抛弃他的忠实信徒。”
“当然，国王陛下您做的很好。”红衣主教欣然点头。
“那么我需要教宗陛下兑现他的承诺。正如我儿所说，没有足够的援助，我们无法抵御罗赛维亚反扑的阴谋。”
“第一批援助很快就会抵达，请你尽管放心。”约瑟夫主教微微一笑，抚胸鞠了个躬：“教宗和法王两位陛下都不会放任罗赛维亚人毁灭高地王国，这里将是冷战的前线。”
“请恕我冒昧。”
一个不适时宜的声音再次出现在大厅中，华莱士王子学着红衣主教的姿势，夸张的鞠了一躬，恭敬地说道：
“各位知道为什么会有长城这种东西吗？”
“当然是那些懦弱的罗赛维亚人畏惧我们！”凯尔特战士们闹哄哄的抢先答道。
“那为什么他们弱着弱着就变成了中央帝国，而我们强着强着就被一直从小亚细亚赶到了凯尔特岛？对了，你们将这里称作大陆，好吧，我们为什么会被赶到凯尔特大陆？”王子摊开双手，满脸渴求的问道。
这一席话下来，整个大厅的气氛在瞬间停滞，人们的脸色顿时阴沉下去，尤其是肯尼斯和约瑟夫二人，他们的表情已经能聚起一片乌云了。
“够了够了，华莱士，你给我立刻从这里消失。”老国王以愤怒的咆哮打破了沉默，右手直指门庭，示意对方赶紧滚。
“他们建造长城不是为了防御，而是阻挡我们的退路，分割和侵蚀我们的土地，将我们残留的力量闷杀在长城之内！”
华莱士王子走到大厅中心，厉声继续说着：
“数百年之前，我们退出了中庭之地，连凯尔特岛都失去了一半，看着那绵延的长城，却笑着敌人的懦弱。数百年之后，你们居然还是分不清楚攻守之势，甘愿充当自由联盟的马前卒！这高地王国，我看是迟早要完！”
“卫兵！把这个疯子拖出去！”
加里国王气的浑身颤抖，摘下头顶的王冠，重重的砸在了对方脑壳上。（。）
第七十章 便宜行事（）
格拉摩根——伯爵府。
尖锐的汽笛声中吗，一辆长达四十码的飞艇从空中缓缓落下，伴随着螺旋桨喧嚣的旋转声，飞艇降落在了宽敞的庭院内，一阵阵强劲的气流使得草木纷纷匍匐在地。
砰——咔——！
飞艇中部的舱门霍然侧弹打开，落下一架登高梯，走出一名相貌英俊的青年骑士，他有一头紫色的短发，穿着一身骑士军服，袖章的军衔已经是校级。
“欢迎你，奥瑞德少校。”亚雷、夏琳、布鲁诺、妮可四人站在飞艇右侧，面朝着登高梯迎了过去。

第七十一章 魔怪总督（）
。
深夜，伯爵府依然灯火通明，幽灵女仆们蜷缩在角落里窃窃私语，一只只巡逻的南瓜灯在花圃庭院中时隐时现，半空中回荡着石像鬼振翅翱翔的轻响。
半圆弧的白阳台上，亚雷一身深蓝色的骑士军服，双手撑着护栏，短发被夜风吹的微微后扬。
这是一个没有星月的夜晚，黑暗中的天空和大地再也不分彼此，他的身影也仿佛在此刻融入了黑暗。
“普利特以后会住在二楼，可以方便你和他的交流。”伴随着青羊悦耳的声音，夏琳推开阳台的滑门，走到了护栏边。
“谢谢你，夏琳。”他扭过头，出神的看着绿发少女。
“你是在担心高地王国的事情吗？”她将双手交叠平放在护栏上，仰起俏脸看了一眼漆黑的夜空。
“算是吧。”亚雷注视着随风轻舞的绿色秀发，缓缓的说道：“我在考虑如何整合整个南部凯尔特的力量，组成军队去讨伐高地王国。”
“不是吧……”夏琳惊讶的偏头看着他：“皇帝陛下只是要你将高地王国压力隔绝在中庭之地外，没有让你去进攻它啊。”
“傻瓜。”黑发骑士忍不住伸手摸着她那头丝绸般的秀发，笑着道：“凡是都要考虑到最坏的一面，才能避免｀｀最坏的事情发生。”
“哼！”绿发少女不服气的侧开脸蛋。
“铛铛铛铛！”妮可口中模拟着餐车的声音闯进阳台，手里还捧着两杯热牛奶，看着并肩靠在护栏上二人。脸上浮出一丝奸笑：
“你们两个躲在阳台干什么呢？玩高级露出游戏吗。姿势不对啊？”
“咳！”
亚雷、夏琳同时捧胸闭目。满脸痛苦。
“好吧好吧，别做出这幅表情，我知道你们的爱情很纯洁，纯洁到停留在牵手的程度，啧啧啧，真亏你忍得住。”
妮可将一杯热牛奶递到绿发少女面前，将后背贴着阳台，脸上挂起了甜蜜的追忆：
“克拉克那家伙连三个月都没能坚持住。就被本小姐给搞定了，不要看他平时那么木讷，关键时候可是很有情趣的。”
“你总是这么刺激亚雷他们，觉得很有趣么？”
布鲁诺捧着两杯清茶，跟着走入了阳台，将其中一杯递给黑发骑士，撇脸嘲讽道：“还是说，和进入更年期的女性一样，总喜欢秀莫名其妙的优越？”
“这里是成熟男女的聚会场所，没有单身汪说话的权利。”妮可挑起眉尖。轻蔑了瞄了他一眼：
“等你找个男朋友再说吧。”
“噗！”三人刚刚饮入口中的液体喷出了一道抛物线。
“你！”银发少年秀丽的脸庞涨得通红，额前爆出根根青筋。修长苗条的身体因为愤怒剧烈颤抖着，从薄唇中挤出几个音节：
“决斗吧！我要和你决斗。”
“决斗的事，以后再说吧。”亚雷连忙按住好友的肩膀，狠狠的瞪了女汉子一眼：“妮可，你要是再这么欺负布鲁诺，以后让你去驻守长城。”
“好吧，总督大人，我错了……”女骑士瞬间焉了，服服帖帖的说着。
“总督……”
黑发骑士像灌酒那样仰头灌下清茶，脸上露出几分无奈。
没错，他现在是总督了，全称是凯尔特临时总督兼驻卫军团长，普利特抵达这里的时候，就奉上了这份临时委任状。
辖区内的人口是六万，辖区的经济规模差不多二十亿索尔，其中格拉摩根贡献了一半以上。名义上虽然是军团长，但是手下只有一支哈德良长城驻卫队，而且直属于中央军，他真正能控制的军队人数是零。
如果只靠这么一个空壳总督加光杆军团长，去对抗千万级人口、并且日益强大的高地王国，难度绝对是地狱级。
“总觉得这个总督封的太轻率……”夏琳将瓷杯抵在唇边，悻悻的说着。
“皇帝陛下只是想让亚雷在这里拖时间而已，整个帝国主要的精力都放在工业改革上，对外横下铁幕，对内残酷剥削，总觉得……”布鲁诺说着叹息了一声，硬生生将下面的话咽了下去。
“我不管啦，亚雷赶紧用总督的权限封我做大官，先爽一把再说。”妮可到是没什么压力，反正就是拼呗，实在拼不过就撤嘛。
“你们不要这�
