in the name of the queen

Chapter 69 Buying your life? not enough!
  After Wharton fell to the ground, several wolf-like royal guards rushed up and dragged him away.

What awaits him will be the best treatment and the cruelest torture.

You offended Her Majesty the Queen in person and still want to run away?
  He probably never dreamed that the Queen would be so angry that she wanted to execute him herself.

Wharton was taken down, and the Golden Knight and Silver Knight standing under the high platform were a little panicked. They all thought of one thing at the same time. They had both submitted letters of allegiance to Wharton.

Old guy Wharton should keep these damn things well hidden, right?

If this thing is exposed, their fate may not be better than Walton.

The panic-stricken high-level knight secretly cast his eyes on Stanley.

He is the only deputy commander left. If something happens to him, will they still have hope?

With everyone watching, Stanley walked out calmly. He looked at Wharton who was being dragged away like a dead dog with righteous indignation, and loudly condemned:

"Captain Roland, this bastard Wharton is really hateful. He sent someone to the Chamber of Commerce to repay back wages. I thought he wouldn't do anything, but it turns out he even dared to take Her Majesty the Queen's money!"

Seeing Roland's expressionless face, Stanley knew that words were useless, so he gritted his teeth and explained:
  "Captain, I admit that I have made mistakes, but I have my own reasons."

"Over the years, in order to keep the brothers of the Knights afloat, I have had to work hard to use my connections to run the Chamber of Commerce."

"We know that internal funds are tight, and we don't dare to complain. Fortunately, God bless our emperor, and our chamber of commerce is running quite well."

"The proper management of the Chamber of Commerce not only ensures the food and clothing of the brothers, but also ensures basic training and equipment expenses. This is His Majesty's blessing."

Stanley praised her endlessly and attributed all the credit and glory to the Queen's name. He also defended himself, saying that not doing so would be damaging the interests of the royal family.

According to his idea, Roland was very busy and had to rely on the old men of the Knights to manage the Knights.

The former leader of the Knights followed the late emperor and the deputy leader Wharton was taken down. He is the only deputy leader left.

He is not as domineering and domineering as Wharton. He does not directly intervene in many things, so it is not easy to scratch his sore feet.

In his opinion, the wisest thing for Roland to do was to scare him and let him help manage the Knights.

However, Roland didn't express the slightest sign, and Stanley felt a little panicked.

Seeing the slightly mocking look in Roland's eyes, Stanley knew that what Roland wanted was more than just a few nice words.

He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, secretly cursing Roland for being greedy.

He took a deep breath and decided to cut off his wrist to survive.

He raised his voice and announced loudly, "Captain Roland, although the Stanley Chamber of Commerce has my hard work, it is the result of the joint efforts of the brothers of the Knights."

"Since His Majesty has asked you to manage the Knights, I am willing to hand over the entire Chamber of Commerce to you!"

He decided to give in.

Pay money to save your life.

Looking at Stanley's cheeks that were shaking due to the flesh cutting, Roland raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked teasingly:

"Deputy Captain Stanley, I'm a little curious. How dare you take the Knights' public assets and bribe them in public?"

Stanley looked at Roland in astonishment. Before he could defend himself, Roland categorically justified his behavior.

"Stanley! Listen to me, there is no such thing as Stanley Chamber of Commerce. The funds to establish the Chamber of Commerce are funds you misappropriated without authorization, and the labor force to develop the Chamber of Commerce is the entire Knights."

"In accordance with the supplementary provisions of Article 279 of Chapter 8 of the Commercial Code, when determining the rights and interests of a commercial entity, a reasonable proportion is determined based on the amount of capital and effort based on the principle of who benefits from the investment. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce is His Majesty and the Knight The group’s assets have nothing to do with you!”

Stanley looked livid.

To prove the authority of this passage, Roland turned his attention to his fellow senior prosecutors.

The prosecutor nodded expressionlessly, "Captain Roland, you are right. Your grasp of the law is even better than many of my colleagues."

Roland didn't pay attention to the sarcasm implicit in the prosecutor's words.

Nonsense, how can you take advantage of loopholes if you are not familiar with the law?
  As a law-abiding citizen, knowing the law is a must.

Stanley looked at Roland dumbfounded, and then looked at the prosecutor.

His face looked as ugly as death. The baby he was planning to buy his life for didn't actually belong to him?
  Looking at Roland's increasingly furrowed brows, he knew that there was no time to hesitate. Once the judicial process started, his fate would not necessarily be worse than Wharton's.

He hurriedly took a few steps forward and said in an almost pleading voice: "Captain Roland, I have something to report to you alone."

He kept hinting to Roland with his eyes that he could continue bleeding.

Roland glanced at his waist.

Stanley very wisely took off his sword and pistol and placed them next to him.

To prove that there was no hostility, he even took off his light armor and jacket.

Roland nodded and pointed to the woods not far away.

Sif stood in front of her vigilantly, stopping Roland with her eyes.

She silently reminded: "He is an extraordinary person, there is no need to take risks. No one can withstand him in front of the torture officer."

Roland shook his head slowly and rejected Sif's suggestion.

If Stanley was not a transcendent, he would not be qualified to be dealt with by him personally.

But he is.

After having the knight sub-class, you can gain growth by killing, defeating and capturing extraordinary beings.

There is a subtle sense of connection between extraordinary beings. Both Roland and Sif could sense that Stanley was an extraordinary person, and that he was at the ninth level.

Sif believed that Roland would win, but she didn't want Roland to take risks.

Wharton's desperate blow made her sweat profusely, and she did not want Roland to face the same danger.

Roland is the brains of the team and cannot make any mistakes.

Seeing Roland's refusal, Sif could guess what he was thinking.

She did not continue to persuade, but took off her face armor and forced Roland to put it on.

Then she took off the outer armor and handed it to Roland.

“It adapts to size and fits on instantly, that’s an order!”

Roland held the armor in his hands and felt the slight warmth remaining in the metal. He always had a strange feeling when he thought that this was something Sif had just worn.

He quickly dismissed his distracting thoughts and put the armor on his body.

This is care from a good friend, which cannot be lived up to and there is no need to be pretentious.

The white rose armor inherited from the royal family is a perfect combination of magic and alchemy. It can adapt to the size of the user's body, has strong resistance to physical magic, and is resistant to poisons and negative effects.

The armor is not heavy, but the concern is like a mountain.

Sif took off her outer armor, and there was still mail and velvet armor inside, so she wasn't worried about being cold.

She took the coat and cloak from the guard and put it on casually.

While Roland was putting on his armor, she silently refilled her pistol with ammunition.

She chose the special bullet with the fastest muzzle velocity.

The physical quality of ninth-level extraordinary beings is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but after all, they are flesh and blood and cannot withstand the penetrating power of bullets.

While Sif was loading ammunition, the old man from the Heraldry Academy who was standing not far behind her was dumbfounded and his knuckles were clenched until they turned white.

This, this, are those rumors not rumors?

Just when the old man was dumbfounded, Sif had already handed the loaded pistol to Roland.

"If he dares to take action, shoot him immediately."
