Two days later, the scouts sent out reported back and found that an army of about 30,000 people had arrived very close to Kent Town and would arrive tomorrow at the latest.【】
After receiving this news, Roger decisively decided to summon the castle to abandon Kent Town. After all, the walls of Kent Town were not really strong defenses. They might still be able to hold on when facing a small number of enemies, but tens of thousands of troops were currently attacking.
Even when approaching, Roger didn't dare to be careless.
It is conceivable that when a majestic castle suddenly appeared in the open space near Kent Town, it caused great shock to those who did not know the details of Roger.
The guards, the townspeople, and even the knight Ralph were all surprised. They looked at the sudden appearance of the castle with a mixture of shock and fear, and the astonishment in their hearts was completely palpable.
"Don't be stunned, everyone enter the castle." Roger ordered everyone, and his capable men also began to direct everyone to enter the castle in an orderly manner.
There were not many people left, but most of them were ordinary civilians, so it took some time to wait for them all to enter the castle. It was not until the evening that everyone entered the castle.
The door slowly closed, and everyone's uneasy mood calmed down a lot. Even if the civilians had to come out, such a majestic and strong castle would be difficult to break, so everyone naturally became more confident in defeating the king.
The scale of the castle is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, so more than 3,000 people, including security guards and civilians, poured in, which did not make the castle seem too cramped. However, except for the elderly and children, most people can only stay in the castle.
They set up tents and other things to stay temporarily inside, and only Roger and his followers who were close to him could live indoors.
Even so, everyone is very satisfied. In the current situation, ensuring safety is everyone's biggest request. It is a very merciful decision for the lord to allow civilians to settle in the castle.
After the upgrade, the size of the tavern has become much larger. If the rooms are squeezed together, it can accommodate nearly a hundred people. Roger occupies a separate room on the second floor of the tavern and is calculating with the castle master how many people have come in.
In addition to the guards and civilians who are willing to stay, Roger's other followers have also entered the castle. As for Anna, Bonnie, Lisa and Sophia, of course, they all have their own rooms on the second floor of the tavern.
Even the twelve female slaves Roger bought in the desert were assigned to a room. Although it was a little crowded, it was still much better than sleeping in the wild.
Angela still lives on the highest floor of the tower. Seraph Archangel likes to be quiet, and she will not show up in public unless necessary.
In addition, some people also lived in the training ground. They were the elves who were trained by Roger as griffin knights. The elves didn't get along well with humans, and they had to take care of their own griffons, so they all volunteered to live there.
At the animal training ground, Roger didn't have a lot of trouble.
Apart from these people, the only ones left are the more than 50,000 soldiers trained by the Castle. However, these soldiers usually stay in the secondary space of the castle and do not need to eat or drink anything. They only need to be summoned when needed.
As long as they come out to fight, it can be completely ignored.
"I said... we have such strong strength, we shouldn't lose this battle, right?" Roger pointed at the tall and strong city wall outside and said to the castle commander: "It's all because of that guy Alonso III, otherwise
There’s no need to fight this battle.”
"I don't dare to say whether you win or lose, but at least you can't die." The castle leader replied honestly: "You signed a symbiosis contract with the dragon. If you will die in this way, you must be stupid."
"Bah!" Roger raised his finger at the castle hub in his mind. Just as he was about to say something to refute it, the door was knocked heavily.
Roger opened the door and found an angry-looking Chris standing outside. He quickly asked: "What's wrong with you? It seems like someone owes you ten thousand gold coins and hasn't paid back."
"Sir, those guys have gone too far." The grumpy knight ignored Roger's teasing and stood at the door and shouted loudly: "If they continue like this, I will not be able to control the security of the castle."
Roger knew that "those guys" that Chris mentioned were the nobles who had recently come to Kent Town to defect to him. These nobles used to follow Hamilton, and there really was nowhere else to go. Roger was working with the old Duke and Anna
He took them in for his own sake, and naturally brought them into the castle this time. Originally, Roger didn't take these down-and-out nobles to heart, but now it seems that these guys have brought a lot to Chris.
trouble.
"Don't worry." Roger handed Chris a glass of water and said, "Tell me slowly, what's going on?"
"Those guys were quite honest a few days ago, but they have become uneasy since entering the castle." The knight said angrily: "One moment they asked to live in a tavern, but I refused and then said they wanted to live in a tower, but they were chased away by the soldiers again.
I'm going back. If that's all I have to do, forget it.
Oh, just now there were two guys who actually wanted to molest a girl in the town. When I found out, they plausibly said that it was the power of the nobles and asked me to mind their own business. Now Phil is arguing with them. Let me report to you.
, how to deal with this matter."
After hearing what Chris said, Roger frowned. Obviously, these nobles were so honest before because they were worried about their safety. Now that they feel safe after entering the castle, their true nature is exposed. But these are in their own territory.
Roger couldn't control them no matter what, but now they are so arrogant when they are dependent on others. If they are not allowed to be more honest, they will definitely be a destabilizing factor in future wars.
Before Roger could say anything, Qiu'er, a slave girl with a voluptuous figure and honey-colored skin, walked past the door. Qiu'er was also obviously unhappy, with a sad look on her pretty face, even when Roger's door was open.
He didn't notice it until he almost bumped into Chris before he came back to his senses and quickly said hello to Roger and the Lord Knight.
Roger knew that Qiu'er was usually smart and lively, and would never be so lost if she hadn't encountered something. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Qiu'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look worried when you go up?"
Unexpectedly, Roger noticed something unusual about her. Qiuer hesitated for a while and finally told her what happened. It turned out that she was helping Anna deliver a message to Bonnie who was busy outside. Unexpectedly, she failed to find the female knight and was instead beaten by several people.
A nobleman stopped her. Seeing that Qiu'er was beautiful and exotic, the nobles actually swarmed up and wanted to molest her. Fortunately, Bonnie happened to pass by and stopped these guys.
But these nobles did not give up, and actually threatened Qiu'er, saying that as long as they spoke to Roger, Roger would definitely give Qiu'er to them. These nobles claimed that they came all the way to Kent Town to support Roger, and Roger would definitely
I won't offend them over a female slave.
Although Roger has always been very kind to the female slaves, Qiu'er also feels that the words of those nobles are quite reasonable. Especially since Roger has never had an intimate relationship with any of the female slaves, Qiu'er has a sense of crisis and feels that the master is indeed very kind.
It is possible that she will give herself away, so Qiu'er will be full of worries and depressed.
After hearing Qiu'er's words, Chris became even more furious and asked loudly: "What are the names of those guys? I must teach them a lesson. They are so presumptuous that they even dare to have ideas about your adult's women. They are simply a bunch of bastards."
The knight's words "my lord's woman" made Qiu'er a little happy. After thinking for a while, she whispered: "Actually, one seems to be called Douglas, and the other... should be called Newey."
"It's really them." Chris said angrily to Roger: "Sir, I'm talking about them too."
"Chris, come with me." After hearing this, Roger stopped hesitating and immediately walked out of the tavern. When he reached the stairs, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Qiu'er, who had not yet left, "Qiu'er, you
Come too."
Qiu'er anxiously followed Roger to the outside of the tavern, and was led by Chris to the place where he had a dispute with the nobles. Roger heard the noise in the distance, and several nobles were surrounding Fei in the distance.
I yelled. Although Phil still maintained restraint, it was clear from the knight's angry face that he was very angry. Fortunately, the mature and steady Phil could be so calm. If it had been Chris, he would have taken action long ago.
.
Many civilians gathered around the nobles and knights, watching the development of the incident in silence. The authority of the nobles had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so although their behavior was very disgusting, the other civilians stayed far away and did not say anything.
Someone who dared to step forward and speak to Phil.
When Roger got closer, he heard the nobles shouting "We are here to support your lord", "What big deal is a common woman?", "How dare a mere knight interfere in our affairs?"
Something like that.
Phil ignored these nobles at all, and just looked at them coldly, protecting a slender commoner woman behind him, obviously intending to fight them to the end.
A sharp-eyed nobleman arrived at Roger first, and immediately said loudly and proudly to Phil: "Your lord is here, just wait to be punished. We must advise Sir Roger to abolish your status as a knight and let you return to your old ways."
Go to the humble commoners”
Phil showed no reaction to the threats from the nobles and just treated these guys coldly.
Roger soon arrived in front of everyone. One of them, a very wretched-looking guy with a lewd look in his small eyes, spotted Qiu'er who was hiding behind Roger. He immediately laughed loudly at her and said, "Girl, I
Just say that Lord Roger will send you to us, right? How about Shaozi? Now that the master has sent you here in person, you have to be obedient now, haha."
