Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 151 The Spear of the Holy Tree
In the evening, the Ducal Palace.

Since the bloody conflict broke out during the day, the Rodell knights and the Duke's guards who surrounded the mansion each retreated tens of meters, leaving a buffer zone of about [-] meters on both sides of the wall. The swords, guns, swords and halberds and the bloodstains that have not completely dried up still reveal a tense atmosphere.

Half a day ago, the mediation team sent by the city hall originally planned to take away the seventh team involved in the incident, but before they could take a few steps, they were stopped by the guards of the Holy Tree Palace who followed, and they had to send more than [-] people on hand. The knights handed over.

Since then, the temporary command of the No.20 Nine Knights Squadron has also been taken over by the knight commander Finley sent by the Holy Tree Palace. Looking at his age, Finley is just a young girl, but as long as he takes half a step closer, he can feel her The spear-like unstoppable momentum on his body.

As the most trusted guard knight commander beside the two gods and men of the Holy Tree Hall, even looking at the entire Golden Dynasty, Finlay is undoubtedly an outstanding existence among the younger generation of knights.

Under her command, although the encirclement receded slightly to the surroundings, the actual blockade was tighter. In each direction, there were guard knights from the Holy Tree Palace mixed among Rodel knights to ensure that there was no possibility of accidents.

At this time, a team composed of dozens of heavy knights came aggressively towards the blockade area. Everyone who came was wearing gold heavy armor, but the decoration on the surface of the armor was obviously much more luxurious than Rodel's knight armor. The tops of the fixed rivets are decorated with brilliant gemstones, and a large cape made of bright red brocade flutters behind it, as bright and dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail.

The knights surrounded a huge carriage drawn by eight dragon-scaled horses. Its specification was much more luxurious than that of the Sky City Royal Carriage that Lucia took when he went to the capital. It was like a small mobile palace.

Both sides of the carriage were engraved with the emblem of the House of Friedel in gilt, but even if you don't know anything about the genealogy of the aristocratic coat of arms of the Golden Dynasty, just looking at the extravagant design style of this carriage is enough to determine the identity of the owner.

The grandson of the former king Ge Fulei, the eldest son of "Golden" Godwin, the most orthodox and noble golden bloodline - demigod Grek.

"Stop coming!" the Rodel knight who blocked the block shouted.

The Frederian knights in the front line slowly reined in and stopped their horses, making way for a passage on both sides. Greg's car continued to move straight forward until it almost touched the horse's head of Rodel's knight.

Greg came out of the carriage with a tomahawk in his hand, tapped the knight blocking the way with the blade of the ax a few times, and said, "I want to go in and check on the Duke's injury, go back and ask your superiors if they dare Stop me."

A Rodel knight was about to go back to ask for instructions, when he saw a knight girl with a long spear galloping towards the horse, leaping to the front of the two phalanxes and reining in the horse, the horse neighed loudly and stood up high, kicking up dust It almost hit the faces of the Templars of Freder.

The girl nailed the end of the spear into the masonry pavement beside her with a bang, then neatly rolled over and dismounted, struck the breastplate with her right fist and gave a knightly salute, saying: "I am Finley, the Knight Commander of the Holy Tree Temple. Lord Gregor."

Greg narrowed his eyes slightly, leaning on the battle ax and said, "I've heard of you, why, are you here to stop me?"

"Don't dare," Finley said with a downcast smile, "His Royal Highness Mikaela has ordered that if His Highness Gregor comes to visit, I will let him go immediately, but"

She raised her head, glanced at the guards beside Greck, and said calmly, "In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts like earlier today, please enter the room alone."

Greco was furious, raised his battle ax, and said angrily, "You—"

However, Finlay seemed to completely ignore his anger, and still stood there calmly, not even looking at the long spear standing on one side. Nearly a thousand Rodel knights and the Knights of the Holy Tree behind her coincided with each other. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

After a stalemate for a long while, the veins in Greg's palm holding the handle of the ax burst out several times, but he finally put down the ax and said in a voice that seemed to come out of his teeth: "Okay, you're fine."

He waved his hand back, indicating that the guards who were also waiting for an opportunity to stand still, turned over and jumped on a prepared horse, clamped the horse's belly suddenly, and drove the horse into the blocked area.

The Duke's guard on the other side seemed to have gotten the news, and opened the middle door almost at the same time, and welcomed the demigod in.

"Resume the siege."

Finlay ignored the group of angry-looking Frederian knights in front of him, pulled out the spear that was nailed deep into the road, got on his horse and said, "Let's not talk about people, even dogs are not allowed in, I understand Is it gone?"

"Understood!" Qianqi shouted in unison.

On the other hand, Greg had no intention of pursuing Finlay's offense, but headed straight to the Duke's bedroom under the guidance of the Duke's housekeeper.

When they arrived at the door, the butler informed the room and bowed to leave. It was the only son of Duke Duoris, Carlisle, who opened the door.

As soon as Greg entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, which was also mixed with a lingering bloody smell.

The Duke himself was lying flat on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, allowing the doctor to raise one of his arms to change the ointment under his ribs, and he seemed to have no strength to move.

"What's going on here?" Greg frowned and said, "It's agreed to be a joke, are the people in the seventh team so hard?"

"Father specifically asked for this." Carlisle replied with his head down.

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this conflict is just an excuse given to the Duoris family by His Royal Highness Godwin and you, but my father said that even if it is just a bitter show, he has to act more realistically. After all, this time I want to There are far more nobles who fall into trouble than those who are willing to defend him."

Greck thought of the group of gold nobles who openly opposed him and voted for the deliberations in the court meeting in the morning, and his face became even more gloomy. It had been arranged long ago, and we didn't even have the chance to have a trial by combat."

While speaking, the Duke had already woken up slowly, his eyes signaled the doctor beside him to step back, and he said in a hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness Greco"

Greco immediately took two steps forward, sat on the original doctor's seat, bent down and held the Duke's palm, and said, "Don't worry, take your time, I'm right here."

The corners of the Duke's mouth twitched slightly, trying to show a smile, and said, "It's all because I was deceived by heretics this time, and I made a big mistake by not realizing it for a while. Now I really have nothing to do. I can only entrust His Highness Godwin and you for the follow-up matters."

"Please rest assured that Lucia is just a little dragon with no hair on her head, and she is by no means my opponent. Besides, father and Priest Furshanks will return to the capital soon, and everything will be possible by then." Gregor vowed .

Duke Duoris nodded with difficulty, and said hoarsely: "After this matter, no matter what the final result is, the Duoris family is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness Godwin and you, and will not hesitate to do so."

"You are serious. Even if you only look at the friendship that Carlisle and I grew up with since we were young, these are all things we have to do."

Greco smiled and gently put down the Duke's hand, re-tucked the quilt for him and said, "From now on, you just need to rest in peace. You might as well leave the affairs of the Duke's Palace to Carlisle temporarily, and I will naturally handle the outside affairs."

After comforting Duke Duoris, and after he fell back to sleep, Grek confessed to Carlisle a few more words and got up to say goodbye. He went out to join his guards and returned to Freddie Hall.
