Lord Pender

Chapter 43: Great changes in the capital

Boom...

There seems to be a faint turmoil in the capital. In the originally quiet night, there was a bit of fighting. The guards in the capital were quickly gathering, and there were bursts of shouts from time to time, causing the huge city of lions to fall into a daze. It was weird for a while.

Many people's expressions changed. This is the capital of the king. After so many years of calm, how could there be such a big turmoil?

"Team one guards here, the second team all climbed the building, the third team...hoho..." A big man who looked like a knight on foot was shouting, and suddenly a cold light streaked across the night sky, and the dark crossbow arrows ripped through the air. , pierced straight into his neck.

"Sir!" Many people were furious, hiding their heads behind the heavy kite-shaped shield, standing back to back, not counting from the gap between the shields, scanning the surroundings, trying to find the murderer hidden in the dark night, but the murderer After releasing the crossbow arrows, I saw that many longbowmen in the lion realm were also searching for their targets in secret places.

"Hmph," Les, who was hiding in the darkness, watched the infantry knight fall directly to the ground with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth. The biggest danger had been removed, and the remaining armored infantry did not pose much threat.

As for those slingshots? Ah, no, it was a longbowman in the lion realm, and he was too lazy to say the threat. Les flipped out of the window lightly, and when he landed, there was a small movement. After a shock of blood, he stopped talking. uncomfortable.

But……

"What!" Rice's expression changed, and six figures stared at him all around him, the heraldic chain robe glowed with a faint light, and the long sword of the Knights of the Lion Realm was already aimed at him. .

Six rank seven armed infantrymen of the fierce lion realm!

For a while, Rice's scalp felt numb. As a shadow assassin, he hid in the darkness. Once he made a move, he would explode with thunder, but he was surrounded by people, and for a while, his scalp also felt a little numb.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that all the eighth-rank halberds of the fierce lions had blocked all the escape routes. The guards of honor seemed a little scary when they were serious. The boots almost covered the whole person.

Although the honor guard has been criticized a lot on the battlefield, in this city, he is an assassin, and it is difficult to kill one!

It's just the next moment, Les has no time to imagine, because the few armed infantrymen who are close have already wielded their long swords to kill...

At this time, Leo in the tavern had already woken up, and he was shocked by such an astonishing cry of killing. This is the capital, how could there be such a big turmoil?

But fortunately, the Kent tavern has an extraordinary history after all, and it seems that the footsteps have been heard under the tavern.

It's just that Leo couldn't fall asleep again at this time. Fortunately, he walked out of the room and looked at the first floor where many tenants had woken up and were communicating.

"What's the matter? I've been in the capital for five or six years, and nothing like this has ever happened." A bard muttered, looking a little surprised.

"Who is so daring to make trouble in the capital?" Many people were also shocked. This is the power center of the Lion Realm. The huge Lion City has been quiet for so long. make trouble?

"Uncle Wente, look at who he is, he is a little too bold." Leo said with a frown, he really didn't want to encounter anything in the capital in just a few days.

After all, the Royal Capital is too high for him, and a small wave surging in the undercurrent is enough to knock him over.

"I don't know either, it's hard to imagine that this kind of thing can happen in the Lion City, and it's really..." Uncle Wente smiled helplessly, even in his heyday, such trouble here would never come back.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Get everything sorted out as soon as possible, and then go back to our barondom," Leo smiled bitterly. "It's really shocking that something happened here."

One night, accompanied by a lot of shouts and fires, this royal capital, which had been quiet for hundreds of years, became noisy again, and many great nobles also recalled their own soldiers from the barracks to guard the mansion.

Of course, Leo is not like this, because at present he is still relatively unprofessional and lives in a tavern, and there is no need to recall soldiers.

……

Inside the palace, King Ulric looked at the secret treasure in his hand, swept the vase on one side to the ground, and slapped the table with a huge broad sword, ignoring the crumbling of the table, and said viciously, "Count Pabrett?

How could he also be involved with those snake cultists? He is in charge of a quarter of the city guard! "The roaring King Ulric almost swelled with anger, his curly blond hair spread out, and his expression was extremely ferocious, like a lion that chose to devour him.

"Your Majesty, you forgot, Count Palbright, his great-grandfather, was once a member of the Griffin Knights." The court attendant Hut was not intimidated by the King Ulric in front of him, and he used a song almost Aria said in a tone of voice, "This time, it may be that the Griffin Knights and the people who worship the snake did it together.

Only the members of the Griffin Knights would be so familiar with the capital, and those who worshipped the Serpent Cult would appear suddenly and then leave silently. "

There is naturally no such thing as a (political) trial in Pandeland. The intermarriage system that is rampant among nobles is more or less related to some relatives. King Ulric did not think that it was already extremely distant blood connection. , it will remain to this day.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what Hut said makes sense," said Marquis Kerrake. "What we should do now is to stabilize the capital and slowly hunt down those remnants of the Snake Cult.

Retrieving the abducted Serpent Cult priest, as for the guilt of Count Pabray, it can be discussed later. "

"It's easy to say," King Ulric snorted softly, "I remember that the niece of the Marquis of Kerrake was married to the nephew of Earl Palbright."

"Your Majesty, my Stan family will never be involved in this matter!" The Marquis of Kerrake said hurriedly, but he was not too afraid. After all, he was sure that his family would never be involved.

As for the other aristocrats, they were all anxious, worried that the golden lion in front of them would do something that would make them unacceptable.

"Okay, let's go out first." King Ulric waved his hand irritably, looking at the nobles in front of him, he was also quite agitated.

"Hut, who do you think is the most reliable of those people?" Seeing that everyone had already left, King Ulric had a shrewd look on his face that didn't match his appearance, "I didn't expect that Pa Earl Brett would even be involved."

"Your Majesty, after all, Earl Pabrett is in charge of many people in the city guard. Naturally, the Griffin Knights will not give up him easily. It is estimated that they have tried every means to be able to communicate with Earl Pabrett," Hut said. He said respectfully, "A Pabrett is not a big deal, it can't be turned upside down."

"One Palbright can't turn the sky, but who knows how many Palbrets are hidden in this capital," King Ulric scratched his hair irritably, "The Wind Patrol didn't even notice all this, and It's really their dereliction of duty, um, no, I remember... hiss..."

Hut didn't dare to make a sound at this time. He could see that the anger of King Ulric in front of him was constantly rising.

"What a Brand," King Ulric almost suppressed his anger. Brand was the wind watcher of the wind watchers, and he could be regarded as an important position in the entire dynasty.

Ulrike is not sure now, whether Brand is a dark channel song, or he has leaked water for some reason, but in any case, this is something that Ulrike cannot tolerate.

"Hut, you say, how many people can you believe in the huge capital now?" King Ulric shook his head and said helplessly, and even walked aside, holding the flag of the Lions Realm and holding the flag in his hand. Blue veins burst.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, there are many loyal ministers in the kingdom, and those who can buy them are those nobles who have fallen for themselves," Huth said quickly, "The foundation of the kingdom, like the Duke of Alama, is absolutely loyal, and it is impossible to share the same Those thieves are in secret."

"I don't doubt the loyalty of the Duke of Alama," Ulric choked out angrily, even if it was a raging lion, it seemed to be a little less stern to the loyal interior of this childhood costume, but it was still the same. Helplessly shook his head and said, "The ones who are sure of their loyalty are too powerful.

The Wind Watchers can't be controlled by them, otherwise I won't dare to use the Wind Watchers again, even for a few days. "

Hut understood for a while, and he also knew that this was the truth. Those dukes were all characters who could faintly stand against the king. How could the wind watchers be assured of handing them over.

"Then, Your Majesty, why don't you let the Wind Patrol slowly rectify the screening," Hut said softly.

"No," Ulric waved his hand heavily, almost smashing the table that was on the verge of breaking, "The priest of the Serpent Cult must be still in the city at the moment, and he must be arrested as soon as possible, and in the capital tonight, I'm afraid not. So clean.

After all, the wind patrol is still a weapon of the royal family, and it is indispensable, especially at this critical time, but I can't guarantee right now that there is absolutely no problem with who it is. "

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten one? If it is a short time, it is a pretty good choice to serve as a wind patrol." A figure flashed in Huth's mind, and then he smiled at King Ulric in front of him. said.

"Huh? Who are you talking about?" King Ulric asked with some doubts.

"That earl who is new to the capital," Hut said with a smile, "he was originally a baron in a remote area, and he was destined to not be a member of the Griffin Knights.

The Duke of Alama said inadvertently that Captain Moore also had a good relationship with him, so he should have no entanglement with the Snake Cult. The ability is also good. "

"That's right, that's right! This kid looks like he's capable." King Ulric really brightened up~www.readwn.com~ and was a little distressed, "but his friendship with Alama is not shallow."

"Your Majesty, don't forget that he was not brought into the palace directly by the Duke of Alama," Hut chuckled, "The Wind Patrol checked him, and it is only a matter of the past few days that he has made good friends with the Duke of Alama. .

When the matter is over, His Majesty will reward him again and let him go back. "

"Okay, okay!" King Ulric also turned from anger to joy, "It's him!" In the kingdom, many positions are also held by nobles in the field. After all, in Pande, nobles have good education, and the success rate is far higher than Civilians are too tall.

As soon as the morning light fell on this day, many people were already on the street. After all, in the middle of the night, the capital had already returned to calm, and teams of neat lion soldiers patrolled around to calm people’s hearts. The powerful background also seems to be searching for something.

"Let's not say anything else, these honor guards in the Lion Realm are quite calming from the appearance," Uncle Went said with a chuckle, but no, although I heard that the honor guards in the Lion Realm did not perform well on the battlefield, But looking at the piles of spurge soldiers, the appearance is still quite good.

Ordinary citizens looked at such a halberdier and seemed to feel a lot more at ease.

"Let's hurry up, understand things early, and try to leave the capital directly," Leo shook his head with a wry smile, "If you can sell the goods, you can sell them, and if you can't sell them, leave this Lion City quickly. That's the key."

Naturally, the first important thing was to go to pick up the slaves who had placed the order yesterday. With the voucher issued at that time, Leo had already arrived at the Baku Chamber of Commerce's **** camp.

However, the **** camp at this time had a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
