When cheese and Lyon went to their destination separately, Lothar''s heart was almost jubilant, which was different from that of the mage and the Knight Commander. There is nothing more challenging for the count of Montenegrin than to confront an unknown enemy. Observing the enemy in combat, and then thinking about how to conquer the enemy, is Lothar''s favorite entertainment. Although the act of war is a means for almost all commanders to obtain resources or protect territory and people, as far as the count of Montenegrin is concerned, this direct and large-scale armed conflict is not only his obligation to fulfill his noble responsibilities, but also his interest.

    A childhood assassination caused heavy losses to the Heishan family. The former count of Heishan and his wife both died. At that time, Lothar survived because of a short trip invited by a friend. Although fortunately escaped the assassination, the murderer and behind the scenes were quickly found out to be guilty, but the death of her parents made young Lothar fall into a never before confused. Although the king of Cangshi expressed his concern for the only Heishan Heishan family, he took Lothar to Wangdu for education, but perhaps it was because no one could really take the place of his parents to give him direction. For Lothar at that time, he had nothing to do with his family, his title or even his kingdom. He was just an orphan who lost his direction. The king and the teacher''s teachings did not make him find himself. As time went on, Lothar seemed to be in a depression.

    In such a situation, degeneration is almost a natural thing. Spending time on endless pleasure and enjoyment seems to be the best way to paralyze yourself, but Lothar does not. As a young man without the constraints of his elders, he behaved too abstinent. The young count even refused to be assigned to his servants by the king. In the days of the capital, Lothar seemed to appear only in two places outside his residence: the great library and the arena of the capital.

    As the carrier of knowledge, books are precious and rare in the secular Kingdom, so whether it is the Lion Kingdom or other human countries, or even in other intelligent races, books must be carefully kept. The Great Library of Wangdu was built by Cangshi kingdom to save books. The books obtained from the kingdom or from outside the kingdom were basically kept in backup. If you want to enter or leave the big library, you must be a nobleman in the kingdom or a scholar with corresponding proof. As for the ordinary people, the big library is not open to them. Of course, it is not that the king does not want his people to know more, but as mentioned before, knowledge is a precious resource in this era.

    It seems that Lothar, who often goes to the big library, should have accumulated a lot of knowledge during that period. This knowledge may become his strength. When he returns to Heishan to take power when he is an adult, he will become an excellent ruler. But in fact, this is not the case. Although Lothar spent a lot of time reading books in the big library in his youth, what he read was not geography and history, nor mysterious astrological medicine. The count had read only one type of book in the Great Library - the collection of bards. If this is not clear enough, the so-called Bard''s volume is a collection of stories told by various bards. In other words, it''s fiction.

    However, just when the nobles and scholars of Wangdu sighed that there would be another absurd aristocrat who was addicted to Knight biography or magic and weird, Lothar did not act as ridiculous as they had intended. On the contrary, the count''s behavior became more and more courteous. People would not be frightened by a count who brainwashed the knight''s biography. However, Lothar''s performance was more and more difficult to understand. Strange black mountain was the nickname of Lothar when he was in the capital.

    Compared with these, luosa''s exquisite martial arts in the martial arts arena makes people think it is more logical. When Lothar returned to Heishan to inherit his title and territory the year before last, he was able to deal with the Three Kingdom Knights without armour. Such force made the king unabashedly hope that he could become the military Lord of the kingdom. After returning to his territory, Lothar quickly reorganized the bear hunters into a well-trained army. And since then, Lothar began to actively apply to the king for orders to fight. His bear hunters became the most frequent force in the whole kingdom of grey lion. Of course, many nobles in the Kingdom began to take good care of the young Lord. The invitation to dinner and dance was said to be used as fireplace fuel in Heishan castle. However, in the face of these olive branches, Lothar was not moved at all. At the invitation of other people, the count of black mountain just buried himself in the battle. If it was to show his loyalty to the king, Lothar also refused the marriage to the third princess of the kingdom. His style is so weird that no one knows exactly what the man is thinking.

    Actually, Lothar didn''t think about anything. Just because he never came out of the shadow of his childhood. Back in time, the count of black mountain urged his mount and soon came to the outskirts of chuoluo, where bear hunters and Royal Knights fought against rat men. Rat people, like crazy ghosts, rush into the streets of Zhuoluo town from outside the town. They do not pay attention to tactics and efficiency. They just blindly and suicidal attack the defense lines of human soldiers. With an axe, a rat man leaped down from the roof. He drove his horse, also wearing armor, to trample on the monster with his front hooves."Watch your head! They are on top of the house The count of black mountain called out to the soldiers around, warning them to be on guard.

    This is the case. Although the human side has the absolute advantage in equipment, the trained and well-dressed soldiers can kill the rat people several times when they are in the defensive formation. But these native rodents have the right to choose the direction of attack, overhead, underfoot, or in the shadow of a corner. Lothar saw with his own eyes that a native rat man had broken through the gravel road of Zhuoluo Town, and from behind would have rifled a soldier who had not been found in time. These crazy monsters follow their instincts and attack the soldiers from their weakest point of view.

    "Don''t leave alone, move in small groups!" So Lothar gave a second order.

    With Lothar and Gregory on the scene, the soldiers, who had lost their front positions and were demoralized, began to recover their status. After the count of Heishan rushed into the rat people and killed them for a round trip, they also knew that the enemy they were fighting against was not the product of a nightmare. They could also be killed. But seeing that the battlefield situation was gradually leaning towards the human side, Lothar''s face did not look good. It''s so easy. It''s like the rat man becomes vulnerable when he comes to the battlefield. Although Lothar asked himself that his ability to command battles should be among the best in the Kingdom, he would not believe that his simple two instructions and a display of force could defeat the monsters who had taken a large number of positions from his troops at a very fast speed. Something''s wrong.

    "GAH!" His mouth stinks. The count''s gold armor is the most striking sign on the battlefield. A rat man suddenly emerges from the ground and grabs the count''s horse''s retreat, trying to pull the horse down and make him fall off. However, his attempt was futile. As Lothar''s Mount, the horse experienced more battles than ordinary soldiers. Without the command of the count, a simple back kick brought the rat man out of the ground, and then fell heavily on the ground behind him.

    Lothar, sitting on the horse, was not surprised by this little episode. He was already used to the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, and he also developed the ability to keep thinking in this environment. Many people will give up thinking after entering the combat state, and even completely rely on their previous instinct or experience, which is similar to suicide in Rosa. The count of black mountain was dealing with the rat man who was rushing towards him, and was also looking for something that he thought was wrong. Finally, after a close encounter, he found out why the rat men looked so crazy.

    "On them, on fire?"
