Although Doug was very nervous, he still did not forget to show off his aristocratic air. He quickly sat down again and forced himself to speak in a slow tone: "Are you sure it is really the messenger?"
"It should be correct." The butler replied cautiously: "Although he only came alone, the letter of appointment and identity certificate are complete. I have checked them all, and they are really correct."
"What?!" The butler's words shocked Doug again. He stared at the other person and shouted loudly: "Say it again!"
Shocked by the owner, the butler said tremblingly: "His letter of appointment and identification are both genuine..."
"No, you mean he came alone?" Doug interrupted the housekeeper impatiently: "Are you clear?"
The steward said categorically: "I understand, sir. This envoy did come alone. He is the only one who asked to enter the town today."
"Great!" After receiving the butler's affirmative answer, Doug became very happy. Although it was a bit strange for the messenger to come alone, it seemed to have created excellent conditions for Doug to take action. For the Baron, this was a great success.
This is the only good news in recent days, how can he not be overjoyed?
"Let Knight Daniel go to greet him." Doug originally didn't want to go out in person, but then he changed his mind: "No, I'd better go in person and let Knight Daniel go with me!"
Doug naturally has a reason for doing this. Being more enthusiastic about the envoy at this time can also show from the side that he is very much in favor of negotiating with the barbarians. When the envoy is killed by the barbarians, Doug himself will also be suspected.
Smaller.
Doug quickly finished preparations and walked towards the town entrance with the knight Daniel who arrived in a hurry. Knight Daniel was also one of Doug's confidants. He also took action when he hunted down the barbarians last time. However, Daniel acted late.
A little while later, after Roger showed off his might and killed several companions, he immediately chose to escape, so he was able to survive until now.
Although he was lucky enough to save his life last time, Daniel was deeply impressed by Roger who killed many charging cavalry with just one move and did not dare to leave the town to hunt down the barbarians again. For this reason, he found an excuse to say that he was injured.
Unable to ride a horse, he became the only knight under Doug left in the town, so he was called by the baron to fill the scene.
Roger had been waiting outside the town for a while, and finally Doug hurried over with a knight in full armor. Looking at the false smile on the other man's face, Roger couldn't help but secretly feel lucky. Fortunately, he had chosen to arrive quietly first.
Beifeng Town inquired about the situation before caring about exposing Doug's conspiracy. If Ming Dynasty came here to negotiate with the barbarians, he would really be tricked to death by this guy. Now it is very likely that he will fight with the barbarians for self-protection.
What a fierce battle.
If that happens, not only will Roger be unable to complete the task assigned by the king, but he will also be used by Doug. He will most likely kill all the barbarians and let Doug, who planned all of this, get his wish. When he thinks about how he was almost killed by Doug,
When Gertang used the gun, Roger hated this guy so much that he secretly determined to get rid of him.
Seeing Doug getting closer and closer, Roger also forced a smile, but he thought bitterly in his heart: "Boy, I won't beat you to death this time!"
"Sir, something is wrong!" Before the two of them could speak, Daniel, who was following Doug, had already pulled him and whispered: "This man seems to be the guy who rescued the barbarian last time!"
Daniel's words startled Doug. He quickly stopped and said, "Are you sure?"
Daniel looked at Roger carefully a few more times, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, that's him!"
Now Doug panicked. If the kingdom messenger rescued the barbarians, not only would his previous arrangements be completely useless, but even the conspiracy he deliberately provoked with the barbarians for personal gain would be exposed to the world. This pair of Doug's
This is definitely not a good thing, and may even cause the king and the Senate to directly strip him of his title and demote Doug to a civilian status.
For Doug, who is used to being domineering in his territory, now is definitely a life-or-death moment. It is said that people will burst out their full potential at critical moments, and Doug seems to be no exception. At this moment, he was called a "mad dog"
His mind was extremely clear, and he said to Daniel calmly: "Go to the priest immediately and tell him that the envoys sent by the kingdom rescued the barbarians, and he will know what to do."
"Yes!" Daniel also knew that this matter was not trivial, and quickly turned around and ran towards the church in the center of the town. Doug forced himself to calm down and continued to smile and walked towards Roger who was still waiting at the entrance of the town.
"Young man, you really know how to pretend!" Looking at Doug who seemed to be serious, Roger cursed in his mind. With his current strength, it was not difficult at all to hear the conversation between Doug and Daniel just now. Of course Roger
He knew what Doug meant by asking his knights to go find the priest, but he had Angela as his trump card, so he had nothing to fear from the priest.
"Welcome to Beifeng Town, Your Excellency." Doug intentionally stayed in the town and did not go out of the town's walls. He stood at the gate of the town and saluted Roger with a smile: "I am the local lord Doug.
Baron, please let the distinguished envoy rest at the Baron's Mansion first!"
Doug had already made up his mind to kill the envoy sent by the kingdom. After knowing that it was the envoy who rescued the barbarians, this idea became even more determined. At this time, the baron had already thought about it. If the other party didn't turn his back immediately, then he would
Escort him to kill him on the way to the barbarian territory. If the messenger shows an aggressive behavior now, he can only use Father Paul's authority to immediately declare the other party as a heretic and incite the followers of the Supreme God to deal with him.
Of course, Roger could guess what Doug's conspiracy was, but in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks are scum. Roger had no intention of pretending to be a snake with Doug, but directly shouted:
: "Doug, do you know your guilt?!"
Seeing that the messenger was the first to attack, the fake smile on Doug's face disappeared instantly. He raised his head and said firmly: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
"Humph, for your own benefit, you tried to seize the hunting grounds of the barbarians, deliberately provoked conflicts between the kingdom and the barbarians, and deliberately sabotaged negotiations, trying to drag the kingdom into the abyss of war!" Roger said in one breath!
Doug's conspiracy, sneered and said loudly: "I have already talked with the barbarians, and I have already understood all your conspiracies!"
"You are a slanderer! You pretended to be an envoy of the kingdom and deliberately ruined my reputation!" Of course Doug would not admit this and immediately shouted angrily: "Soldiers, are you just going to let me be framed by this guy? Close the door
Townsmen, shoot him with arrows!"
Doug also learned from his subordinates that Roger was very powerful, so he gave this order. He was just a small nobleman guarding the border areas. He had never seen anything big in the world. He only thought that no matter how powerful Roger was,
It was impossible to resist the attacks of so many bows and arrows. It was just that the baron had never imagined how powerful a high-level silver man was, and that dozens of ordinary soldiers could not do anything to Roger.
After all, Doug was the local lord. Although Roger exposed his conspiracy in public, the baron's power was still there. After listening to his order, several soldiers immediately ran over to open the heavy door.
Seeing this, Roger frowned slightly and quickly summoned a group of soldiers behind the slope furthest from Beifeng Town. Roger naturally did this in order not to reveal the secret of the castle hub. When this group of soldiers came
After arriving in the main material world, they immediately let out a loud roar, and the huge sound startled Doug and his soldiers.
Just as everyone looked in the direction of the sound coming from outside the town, the soldiers summoned by Roger slowly appeared in front of them. First, there were dozens of cavalry wearing chain armor, holding lances, and riding tall horses.
They quickly approached Beifeng Town in a typical stormtrooper style.
Although Doug also raised some cavalry, they were far from being comparable to these cavalry in terms of quantity, equipment and quality of horses. Especially the kind that contained terrifying murderous intent and were not messy even when charging.
The formation is incomparable to the cavalrymen under Doug.
The difference between the two sides is so obvious that even Doug's soldiers can tell it at a glance. This makes many soldiers murmur in their hearts. Obviously only the kingdom can afford such an elite cavalry, so Roger's identity is also
There was nothing to doubt. This thought made the soldiers who came to close the door stop their movements and stood there hesitantly, not knowing what to do.
Immediately behind the cavalry came a group of infantry, which included both heavy-armed spearmen and half-armored swordsmen, numbering in the thousands. These soldiers were also well-equipped and well-disciplined, having experienced hundreds of battles.
The elites of the kingdom. Their appearance made everyone believe that Roger was indeed the envoy sent by the kingdom to negotiate with the barbarians.
"Soldiers of Beifeng Town, don't be bewitched by Doug anymore!" Roger stood outside the town and shouted loudly: "I represent the kingdom to deal with the barbarian rebellion. If you go against me, you are going against the kingdom.
Do you all want to follow Doug and commit treason? Don’t forget how the kingdom will treat traitors. This is your last chance to correct your mistakes!"
Roger's words made Doug's soldiers even more panicked. Treason is punishable by beheading, which means that even if you die, you will not be able to go to heaven. Roger's reminder and the huge intimidation of the soldiers behind him
Under pressure, many soldiers had given up the idea of resisting and planned to surrender to the Kingdom's envoys outside the town.
Seeing that the morale of his soldiers was shaken, Doug couldn't help but become anxious and shouted loudly: "Don't believe that man's words, he is just a fake messenger, the real messenger has not arrived yet!"
However, Doug's words were so pale in the face of the facts that even he didn't believe it, let alone the soldiers. Just when Doug was almost desperate, a rapid cry suddenly sounded from the tower of the town's central church.
