Avery was pacing back and forth like a trapped animal.¤Literary Bar: wxba¤
Several officers of the Munich City Guard were whispering to the side with serious expressions. Aguli and Debata were sitting at a heavy and old wooden table, waiting and drinking rum.
The firelight flickered, reflecting on everyone's faces, flickering brightly and dimly.
"What's going on?" Avery kept asking from the moment he entered the room. At this time, he couldn't help it anymore.
He suddenly stopped next to Aguli, his eyes red.
"Who told you that Lord Eugene went to see Mrs. Joyce? Why did you say it was a trap? Who are we waiting for here?"
Questions were thrown at Aguli like a barrage of cannons. Looking at his violently rising and falling chest, it seemed as if Aguli was about to explode if he didn't answer!
The officers around him also looked at Aguli closely. Everyone's expression was extremely nervous.
They didn't know the news from Avery until just now. When they heard that the private meeting between Eugene and Mrs. Joyce was a trap, everyone exploded.
You must know that Lulian is now in a critical situation of life and death. Whether it is the Saint Solan Empire, Archduke Adolf, or the millions of people in Lulian, this is a war that absolutely cannot afford to lose.
.
Once defeated, countless soldiers will be killed by Fei Lie's butcher's knife, countless homes will be turned into ruins, and countless civilians will be separated from their families and their families will be destroyed.
The same is true for the nobles who rule this land. In fact, they and their families are the biggest beneficiaries of this land. Even if it is just to protect their own territory, their power, status and
Wealth. They should also fight to the death against the invaders.
But now, not only do they not want to unite, fight against the Phile people, and rescue Archduke Adolf from the siege, but they are colluding with the ill-intentioned Lanlith people. They are daydreaming, delusional, hoping to join the Lanlith people to continue their survival.
of wealth and glory.
Only those with true foresight know that this is nothing more than luring the wolf into the house and drinking poison to quench thirst.
Neither the Phillies nor the Lanlithians are good people. If they become the rulers of this land, these nobles will understand that instead of taking their own destiny into their own hands, they hand it over to others.
What a stupid mistake.
This time Eugene went to meet Mrs. Joyce, originally hoping to make one last effort. He hoped to persuade the nobles to recognize the situation, join hands and fight side by side.
It's not that he has no expectation of the danger of his situation. It's just that, compared to the overall situation, he is more willing to put life and death aside, and he is more willing to believe that these people who have sworn allegiance to the empire and Archduke Adolf, and swore to uphold the honor of the nobles and knights
The lords still have a trace of loyalty and integrity left.
I never thought...
The officers were anxious for a moment. They looked at Aguli anxiously, hoping that he could give them a definite answer. Let them understand the situation so that they could discuss countermeasures or go directly to rescue General Eugene instead of just sitting here and waiting.
Someone is coming.
Although they are also curious about this mysterious figure who vaguely controls the ragtag army and controls high-level knights like Aguli and Debata. But now the situation is urgent and every second is raced. No one is more important than time.
importance.
And at this moment, the room door was pushed open.
The light of the tallow candle was swayed by the wind that was drawn in. In the candlelight outside the door, a frail young man walked in, surrounded by a knight and two guards.
"Master." As soon as they saw the young man walking in, Aguli and Debata stood up at the same time and saluted.
Avery and the officers, who were staring closely at the two men, suddenly turned their heads and looked at the young man. When they saw clearly the young man's appearance and the knight beside him who was like a loyal and humble follower, they gradually
, everyone’s eyes opened wider and wider. This kid is...
"Roy, yes, he is Roy."
"What's going on? That's Herman. Why did he..."
Everyone was a little confused.
Roy, who was originally supposed to be imprisoned in a cell, appeared in front of them like a free neighbor boy visiting the house, while Herman, who was supposed to be in control of his life and death, stood in the position of a follower so humbly.
superior.
If this was not shocking enough, then the shout from Aguli and Debata was like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone.
They knew exactly what kind of characters Aguli and Debata were.
They are not only powerful knights of glory, but also veterans who have fought bloody battles with Fei Lie's army on the border for many years and walked out of the mountains of blood. Whether it is strength, military exploits, fame or qualifications, even Avery can't compare. See.
After meeting him, he had to respectfully call him "Sir." And the hundreds of wolves in the ragtag army obeyed their orders. Even if they mutiny and surrounded the logistics escort team, which might cause their heads to fall, they would not do it.
Follow along!
Everyone has various speculations about the people standing behind Aguli and Debata. These speculations include the royal family, a certain noble or a certain force in the imperial capital, and even the border army and the Ministry of Supervision.
Wait, wait.
But no one expected that it was Roy - this poor first-year freshman in the first training camp who was locked up in a dungeon and whose life and death depended on others!
Avery, in particular, was stunned.
No one knew that just a second before the door was pushed open, he was planning to force the logistics escort to release Roy, or even directly ask the Military Law Department to send someone to take Roy away in exchange for Aguli's information.
.
But who would have known that before the words were spoken, the young man he used as a bargaining chip would appear in front of him in this way.
Master!
Did you really hear it right?
The man behind the scenes who has been guessed countless times is actually him?!
How is this possible?
"Master," Aguli walked up to Roy and introduced, "This is Sir Avery. Captain of the fifth-long knight brigade of the Munich City Guard Knights, and also the deputy commander of the coalition forces."
Roy nodded, saluted Avery, and said, "Hello, Sir Avery."
"Hello...Hello..." Ai Flori looked at this young man with a confused look and a somewhat reserved manner. He did not believe that he was the master loyal to a strong man like Aguli.
However, Roy did not give Avery too much time to dwell on this issue. After nodding his greetings to the officers present, he said to Herman behind him: "Mr. Herman, tell me what you just said."
Let me tell everyone what I said before."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Herman.
Although Avery and others still don't know how this high-ranking knight from the noble side turned into the depressed follower next to Roy, they can all see that this glorious knight has no restrictions on his body and fighting spirit.
, seems to be afraid of something.
Hermann began to explain.
Herman is the chief knight under Count Natasha. Not only does he have the strength of one star of glory, but he has also maintained a secret underground lover relationship with Natasha for many years. The level of intimacy and trust far exceeds that of Natasha.
Tasha's last two short-lived husbands.
Therefore, after receiving Schilling's instructions, the first person Natasha found was Herman.
After meeting Herman, Natasha told him everything Schilling said. In addition to instructing him to kill Roy, she also told him about the person, location and some details about the attack on Eugene.
, and asked for his advice.
The meeting place between Eugene and Mrs. Joyce was chosen at Joyce's manor in the Wallen district in the east of the city. It was the property of Mrs. Joyce's natal family in the early years, because it was only worth two or three thousand gold coins. The narrow house
The house is small, so it is usually taken care of by the housekeeper, and Mrs. Joyce herself has never been there once.
The reason why I chose that place is because it is located at the junction of the wealthy area and the civilian area. The roads are accessible, but it is quiet and secluded, making it a good place for a secret meeting.
But now, this manor named Shannon has become a place of death.
The nobles headed by Natasha and Wells and their knights have completely surrounded Shannon Manor. In the woods next to the manor and in another manor not far away, the most elite knights in the hands of the nobles are ambushed.
.And everyone, including Mrs. Joyce’s housekeeper, has been bribed.
This means that as long as Eugene enters the manor, Mrs. Joyce will not be able to let him go even if she wants to.
With the pen and paper on the table, Herman simply drew a topographic map of the manor, and then marked the number and strength of the ambushers one by one.
By the time Herman put down his pen and paper, Avery and the knights around him had fallen into a dead silence.
In order to deal with Eugene, the nobles spent a lot of money this time.
They mobilized almost all the power they could mobilize. As far as Herman knew, there were four Knights of Glory and more than twenty Knights of Justice. And these powers were what Avery and the others had always been wary of.
Maybe after the two sides fell out, the other side invested the main force!
And this does not include the power in Mrs. Joyce's hands.
As the most powerful leader among the nobles, the power in Mrs. Joyce's hands has always given people a feeling of unfathomable. Once she had a secret meeting with Eugene, she was forced by the situation to collude with the nobles who launched the attack.
It is almost impossible for General Eugene to have any chance of survival.
The only good thing is that in order to avoid the notoriety and use of the Lanlith family to directly lead the rebellion, Schilling does not intend to use the force at his disposal. He will maintain this powerful deterrent force composed of the Lanlith knights going south.
, as a bystander and an "impartial intervener" in emergencies, leading this rebellion until the dust settles tomorrow.
However, it is no longer important to Avery and others whether the Langris people are directly involved. The map in Herman's hand and the power configuration on it are enough to plunge them into despair.
Excluding the long knights who were dispatched to surrounding areas, Avery now has only more than forty long knights in his hands. Including themselves and the commanders of each battalion, if all of them are dispatched, they may be able to match the power used by the nobles.
To compete with each other. However, this also means that the military camp will be unguarded.
At the same time, it was impossible for such a large-scale operation to be hidden from the aristocratic private army generals. Once the knights of the Eugene family rushed out of the camp in full force, it would actually mean an open civil war.
Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the cold water.
Now recalling what Eugene said when he left, it is obvious that the reason why he asked Avery to protect Munich from falling into the hands of betrayers in case something happened to him was because he had known for a long time that with Avery's hands
With the strength of the knight inside, it is simply unrealistic to rescue him.
The only thing Avery could do was to hold the barracks and city gates in the name of justice after the nobles openly rebelled, lead the Munich Guards and the troops loyal to Archduke Adolf, and wait for General Farno's army to turn around.
.
This is relatively easier than a firefight that could destroy all high-ranking knights, officers and generals on one's side or a full-scale civil war.
There was total silence in the room, except for the sudden flickering lights of the butter candles, which made a subtle beeping sound.
Avery slammed his fist on the table!
What to do?! Should we send troops to rescue Eugene at all costs, or should we just watch him fall into the enemy's hands and carry out his orders?
Avery has never been so confused and miserable.
Knowing that Eugene was in danger, he couldn't do it if he wanted to stand by and watch indifferently. However, if he rescued him, let alone the consequences, the gap in strength between the two sides was an insurmountable obstacle.
This is not a war that ordinary soldiers and low-level knights can participate in. It is not an open and fair showdown.
This is a silent contest hidden in the night!
Both sides are fighting for the biggest card in their hands!
Avery turned around and looked around, how could he and his men possibly rescue Eugene?!
In despair, a young voice suddenly rang in the ears of him and his subordinates.
"Mr. Avery, I have a plan to rescue General Eugene..."
Everyone looked up and saw the black-haired young man with a confused smile. He said with some restraint: "I will lead our people to Shannon Manor. I think rescuing General Eugene shouldn't be a difficult task.
, you just need to wait for the results with peace of mind..."
The officers looked blankly at the young man talking to himself. They couldn't recover for a while.
Wait, what is he talking about?!
He led his men to rescue General Eugene?
Not a difficult thing?
What does this mean?
You know, as early as a few days ago, General Eugene already knew the news about the possible betrayal of Joyce and other nobles.
The reason why the general has not dared to launch large-scale arrests and purges is because he has gathered a long knight brigade and many noble lords loyal to Archduke Adolf, who can only compete with Mrs. Joyce's group in terms of high-level knights.
Everyone is evenly matched.
If this were not the case, why would the general hesitate to strike first, why should he be afraid of fighting to the death with his opponent, and why should he risk his life for that slim chance?
Now, this kid actually said that this was not a difficult matter. What was even more ridiculous was that he seemed to imply that people like him were not needed, and he only needed to lead people there.
Avery and the officers looked at each other and frowned.
Although they also admitted that the scene they saw today gave them quite a shock. They never dreamed that a young man who seemed to be at the mercy of others could actually be the master of powerful men like Aguli and Debata.
Moreover, he was still controlling the rabble behind the scenes, and even Herman had obviously fallen into his hands.
However, this kid is still too confident. You know, even if Aguli and Debata are powerful, they are only two people after all. Even if they include those ragtag knights that everyone has seen before,
May be the opponent of the elite knights of the nobles.
Just when Avery felt that it was necessary to use the information he had to remind Roy how strong his opponent was, he saw Roy smiling at him, showing a few white teeth, and then waving behind him.
He waved and said, "Mr. Alston and Mr. Algernon will go with us."
These are two unfamiliar names.
What shocked the officers even more was that the people corresponding to these two names turned out to be the two guards who came out from behind Roy.
The guard's face was illuminated in the flickering firelight.
These are two ordinary faces. The lower edge of the helmet covers most of their foreheads, and the ear protection protrudes from the ears to the cheeks, so that only the front part of their faces is exposed.
The one on the left looks taller, thinner, and fairly handsome. The other one is shorter, stouter, with a pair of bull's eyes, a big fleshy nose, and a full face of beard.
These two people...
The officers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why. However, they were surprised to see Aguli and Debata bend down respectfully and salute the two men in the manner of a low-ranking knight meeting a high-ranking knight.
Following their salutes and greetings, the two seemingly ordinary guards suddenly let go of their restrained auras.
Two extremely powerful pressures, like storms in the snowfield, swept across the entire room. Under this terrifying atmosphere, only a series of bangs, bangs, and bangs were heard. All the tables, chairs, and benches in the room were unconsciously absorbed by Avery and others.
The fighting spirit that broke out caused the ring to stagger around.
Great Bright Knight! Turns out to be two Great Bright Knights!
Avery and the other officers were all dumbfounded, their hearts beating wildly. For a moment, all the hairs on their bodies felt like they were being hit by a traveling electric current, and they were standing upside down.
They never dreamed that the two guards following Roy were actually two great knights of light - possessing a small domain and sixteen battle rings, one person could sweep a small army, no matter where they were placed.
The Great Light Knight can be called the top powerhouse anywhere!
At this moment, everyone just felt that their minds were completely confused and blank.
I don't know how long it took before their eyes slowly turned from the two knights of light to the face of the black-haired boy in front of them.
Looking at that confused and reserved smile, the officers' eyes were filled with shock, horror, disbelief and a slowly rising ecstasy brought by boiling blood!
No wonder this kid was arrested in a cell and walked out on his own.
No wonder that from beginning to end, Aguli and Debata only surrounded the logistics escort team but did not take action.
No wonder Herman is so well-behaved and honest.
No wonder he told himself so calmly and calmly that he would lead people to rescue General Eugene and just let people like himself wait here.
It turns out that in his hands, he holds such a powerful force, which can even be said to be unparalleled in the current city of Munich!
