All this happened so quickly that Tripp fell to his knees before Califord and others could react.
When William finished saying "Lock him up and wait for the punishment decision".
Kelly Ford opened his mouth, his eyes struggling:
Do you want to resist orders and save Tripp...?
He has always been an invisible emperor in the Barron Territory. Even the previous lords relied on him. The most obvious thing is that his position is the commander of the garrison. This position has not changed for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, he has experienced three lords.
The nobles of the Barron Territory all say that he is the lord of flowing water and the commander of the iron army!
Not unreasonable.
Some of the previous three lords were ennobled by the nobility of the royal capital, some were promoted as knights...but there was never any prince.
From this point, the ministers of the Baron Territory all knew that this prince was not taken seriously in the royal capital, and was not even compared to the heirs of some great nobles. At least he had the full support of his family.
And Prince William? He just has the title of prince.
The night before, he held a banquet and invited all the ministers to have a conversation, and the guests and hosts had a great time.
In the end, a tacit understanding was reached: the lord was supreme, but the iron-clad legion commander could not be shaken.
This not only helps Kellyford, but also helps them themselves. Due to frequent changes in lords over the past decade, the interests of the territory have long been divided up by various forces.
Kelly Ford is the spokesperson for all forces.
Seeing Tripp being forced to kneel on the ground, gagged, and about to be taken away, everyone's eyes were focused on Kelly Ford...
William sat firmly on the high platform, as if he couldn't see their little thoughts.
However, Guland had been observing his expression covertly, and glanced along William's line of sight, Selanie?
William blinked, Selanie clenched her fists excitedly, and hugged Tibbers to her chest...
This is?
Witnessing this scene, Guland quickly buried his head in thought:
He was not the local minister of the Barron Territory. Those people thought Selani was just a little girl, and only the accompanying guardian knights knew how terrifying she was.
"Selanie's expression is very familiar... very much like that night..."
My heart felt cold.
Guland had a bad guess.
Perhaps, this was a test that William gave to Califord and others: William gave in when it came to intervening in the garrison.
If punishment of Tripp is still prevented...
Will Selani take action?
…
"Hmm~!"
Although Tripp struggled hard, he was gradually dragged out of the hall. When he looked at Califord for the last time, he only saw the other person's lowered head.
He was silent and retreated.
Kelly Fu, whose expression was neither happy nor sad, sighed:
"Lord, since Tripp took office, he has worked diligently and made many achievements. If he is punished severely, it may hurt people's hearts."
"Since Captain Kelly Ford pleads for mercy, let's give him a lighter punishment."
"Thank you for your kindness."
The ministers on the left touched their chests, saluted, and expressed their thanks.
As for Tripp, unfortunately for him, he became the victim in this confrontation.
William lowered his gaze, looked at Guland, and said:
"Knight Guland, you have always been fair and careful. The Public Security Department is in need of talents like you right now. Are you willing to share my worries?"
Taking this opportunity, he not only masturbated Tripp and publicized his rights, but also took control of the Sheriff's Department.
As for the person who takes over the Public Security Department, he must be strong in order to withstand possible difficulties from local forces...
Except for the two great knights, everyone else was lacking.
Looking at the solemn and solemn Gulland, William had another obscure thought in his mind: he was unsure about his loyalty or not, and he had extremely high force. It is better not to get too close to such a person...
Click.
Iron boots stood still, Gulande saluted respectfully:
"Your command is supreme!"
…
After the reception, everyone left and returned to the castle for the welcome banquet in the evening.
After walking out of the castle gate, Calif looked back at the black rock monster, got on his horse, and headed for the garrison camp.
A slightly faster horse's hooves suddenly sounded behind him:
"Lord Califord, Tripp is our backbone, why not keep him?"
As the black horse approached, the man on top whispered:
"Even if the lord gets a handle, it's not a serious crime. Why should he..."
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish speaking, Califord sternly shouted to stop him.
Walking forward in silence until far away from the castle, Califord dismissed his attendants and rode alongside the man:
"What do you want to say? Why should the lord punish Tripp?"
"I'm just not convinced."
"Not convinced?" As if he heard a big joke, Califord sneered: "I would like to ask why you are not convinced. The lord's rights are supreme. In the Barron Territory, he can punish anyone.
Not to mention Tripp, even if he wants to punish me.
All I can say is thank you for your kindness."
After giving the man a sideways glance, Kellyford warned in a deep voice:
"The former lord's indulgence has caused you to lose your respect for the lord."
"Go back and do your job."
"……yes."
Go all the way and arrive at the garrison camp.
This is an area located on the left side of Fengrao City, specially isolated for the garrison. There are 3,000 soldiers in it, which is the core guard force of the entire Fengrao City.
Get off your horse and enter the camp.
"Legion Commander!"
Wherever he passed, everyone he met greeted him with a respectful salute.
Most of these soldiers were recruited and trained by him personally. They were formed in the first lord and perfected in the second lord, and they made outstanding achievements during the second lord.
By the third lordship, he, Califord, had become the uncrowned king of the garrison.
Even when the third lord tried to control the garrison, he used various means to avoid or resolve it.
Until the elite aliens entered Fengrao City and carried out beheadings in revenge.
"Unfortunately, Lord, you are still too eager. Please note that I am not a soft persimmon."
He didn't know whether the lord he was talking to was the third, fourth... or even more senior.
Summon all the officers and talk in secret for half an hour.
In the following period, the garrison was intensified and its training intensity increased by one-third.
At the same time, he met with the core representatives of the local forces in private, often talking in the middle of the night, and he looked confident when he left.
The moon and stars are sparse, the wind is cold and the people are quiet.
Wearing simple linen clothes, Kelly danced the sword alone under the moonlit night.
Either tease, cut, stab, or block...
Half an hour later, he slowly sheathed his sword. His face was not red, his heart was not beating, but there was white mist rising above his head, as if a small opening had been opened in a high-pressure boiler, steam gushes out, and then turned into water mist under the cooling of the outside air.
Let people see the ethereal scene.
Opening your eyes, a cold light suddenly appeared.
Go back to your room and sleep peacefully, waiting for the arrival of the lord.
He thought that William would not be able to help but come to inspect the camp and do some small things, such as publicizing the rights of the lords, and then give rewards, reassure them, and take over the military power...
But a few days passed, and William stayed in Black Rock Castle without even going out.
