Much later, Mrs. Joyce still remembered this night clearly.
She remembered that that night, there were four large fire pots at the door of Shannon Manor. The fire pots were set up high with tree stumps. There were also torches on the walls on both sides of the door and on the stone bridge at the door.
The red flames swayed in the night wind, pushing the emitted light clusters to the left and right.
She also remembered that she was standing at the window of the living room on the second floor when five knights escorted General Eugene, who was tightly tied with chains, and galloped out of the manor gate and stepped onto the stone bridge at the door.
At that time, she never thought that things would turn around.
Even though Wells had fallen into Roy's hands, even though the changes in this night made her quite dizzy. But at that moment, she could only stand at the window and watch helplessly. Looking at the things that belonged to
Other noble knights abandoned Wells and took Eugene away.
The key to today's confrontation is General Eugene.
He is the highest military commander in Munich and the number one guarding general after General Fano. Whether he fell into Schilling's hands or a knight next to him, he swung a sword and cut off his arm.
Head, the outcome is devastating for the current city of Munich.
Without Eugene, the soldiers loyal to Archduke Adolf would be leaderless. The angry Avery and others would turn the entire city of Munich into a bloody hell. The nobles who launched the rebellion first and had blood on their hands
, including myself, there will never be a way back.
But she never dreamed of it.
At that moment, in the dancing firelight, she and everyone in the living room and the manor downstairs saw with their own eyes the leader, Justice, who was wearing a silver-white stainless steel heavy armor and a fish-mouth helmet.
The knight, like a piece of limestone struck by a swinging iron rod, was transformed into thousands of bloody lumps!
Some of this flesh and blood was sprinkled on the bodies of the other four knights, dyeing them as ferocious as demons. Some of it fell into the brazier, making a chirping sound. But more of it was like gorgeous fireworks in full bloom, so unscrupulous.
It hit their eyeballs!
Although Mrs. Joyce is no longer an aristocratic woman who has never seen blood, such a cruel scene still made the hairs on her body stand up, and a bone-chilling chill ran down her back.
Climbing up. Then, she heard a huge exclamation from downstairs.
The whole manor exploded in an instant!
Looking around, it was already chaos. Dogs were barking, horses were neighing, and the servants in the manor were running away. The knights on both sides who were fighting also broke away from each other and retreated in groups with pale faces. Every time
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the door of the manor, their eyes full of fear and shock.
But in the living room, there was just dead silence.
Wells's face, full of sarcasm and sneer, lost all color in an instant. His teeth trembled uncontrollably, making a fine knocking sound. His eyes stared blankly at the gate of the manor, as if he had not yet opened the door.
I woke up from that nightmare scene.
After the big axe-wielding man smashed the leading knight with his axe, he did not take action again. Instead, he grabbed Eugene and carried him back across the stone bridge, disappearing into the endless night.
It sounds slow, but in fact it only happened in a few seconds.
It wasn't until the man with the ax left that the other four private knights, who were imprisoned by the domain, regained their freedom. As soon as their bodies moved, their first action was to rein in their horses.
Four war horses were crowded on the stone bridge, making a mess. Two of the knights couldn't even wait to turn their horses' heads, so they simply jumped off the horse and ran back rolling and crawling. They wished their parents would have two more children.
How could there be any trace of the calmness and nobility of a just knight in his wretched appearance?
However, they ultimately failed to walk back to the manor on their own - they were thrown back.
After the axe-wielding man retreated with Eugene, several glorious knights suddenly walked out of the night and attacked them from behind with eight dazzling battle rings.
After knocking all four of them unconscious, these knights of glory walked to the manor and threw them like broken sacks at the feet of Wells.
In the dead silence, the leading knight who looked like an iron tower warned: "I'm sorry, gentlemen knights, this place has been surrounded by us. If you want to play, just play here, don't do it."
Go out..."
As he spoke, he pointed around and said with a joking look on his face, "...of course, don't climb over the wall, otherwise, it won't look good if you get knocked unconscious and thrown back."
When everyone followed their fingers and looked around, they discovered that at some point, there were already fully armed knights standing on the walls of Shannon Manor.
What is shocking is that these knights, without exception, are all knights of glory wearing eight battle rings! Someone counted them, and what they saw alone was twelve knights of glory. And on the wall
Besides, I don't know what kind of terrifying power is hidden in that night.
Coupled with the terrifying axe-wielding man who was at least as powerful as the Great Light Knight, the facts before his eyes shocked everyone present. Whether it was the knights on Wells's side or the knights of Mrs. Joyce's family,
As they looked at each other, they found that each other's expressions had completely changed.
All along, they thought that after Fano led the army to leave, the current city of Munich was already theirs.
As for high-level knights, except for the long knight brigade led by Avery, there are only forty or fifty in the hands of noble lords. Especially the glory knights, there are simply a handful of them. Whether they are under the noble lords or especially
In the golden hands, everyone can name everyone.
But no one expected that just when they all focused their attention on Eugene, at some point, a dozen Glory Knights and a Great Bright Knight would appear here.
No one knows how they appeared here, and no one knows what kind of people and forces are standing behind these powerful men. But when they walked out of the night at the same time and appeared in front of everyone, everyone...
I felt a kind of fear in my heart.
This feeling is like a group of wolves biting hunting dogs, but suddenly found that they were all surrounded by a group of lions. Their proud minions were so weak and pitiful in front of their opponents!
At that moment, the entire manor was as silent as a tomb.
The knights, who were like petrified sculptures, and their pale faces were clearly engraved in Mrs. Joyce's mind.
What impressed her most was that when she turned her head and cast her eyes on Roy, the young man who had just called out lazily gave her a somewhat reserved and innocent smile and said, "My
Was the sound too quiet and they didn’t hear it?”
Every time she thought about it, Mrs. Joyce was glad that she made the wisest choice that day. Otherwise, she had no idea how to face this insidious boy and his extravagance at that time.
Damn smiley face.
Whether she cursed him in the most vicious and mean words, rushed to scratch his face, spit on him severely, or gave him a slap in the face! And no matter what method she used, she knew that it was nothing more than a slap in the face.
It's just the final act of madness by a loser driven mad by anger.
She didn't have to do that. At that time, she stood there so elegantly and comfortably. She covered her mouth with a snicker and turned to look at Wells.
I have known Wells, an old fox, for many years. In Mrs. Joyce’s impression, this old guy not only has a precise vision and is good at speculation. He is also very sophisticated and has always been indifferent to joy and anger. But that day, in her eyes,
Wells was as despondent as an old pheasant that had been soaked in water.
He stood there blankly, watching everything happening outside the window, then turned around mechanically and asked Roy: "Are they all your people?"
Roy smiled and nodded, a little embarrassed.
Wells felt dizzy.
From the moment he saw these glorious knights, he knew that not only had his operation at Shannon Manor failed, but even Xilin's plan tomorrow might be in danger of being shattered. Those Lanrith knights going south were not necessarily
Is the opponent of these guys.
And the funny thing is, before that, he thought it was already his trump card. From the beginning to the end, they didn't include this civilian boy in their calculations.
Whether in Xilin's eyes or in his eyes, this kid is just a victim. Just like an animal on an altar or a corpse hung on a city wall, its function is only to offer sacrifice and deterrence.
.
No matter how troublesome he is, he is just a kid who can cause trouble. In terms of personal strength, he is no more than a just knight. In terms of identity, background, status and financial resources, he is a joke. Any little noble can do it.
Crush him. When the incident is over, no one will think of him again. His body, along with his legends that are difficult to tell whether true or false, will be swept into the garbage dump and rot under the wheel of time.
And no one expected that just when everyone thought he was just a lamb to be slaughtered, he would appear in front of him with two great knights of light and more than a dozen knights of glory. Like a clad
A wolf in sheep's clothing, no, it should be a tiger in sheep's clothing, showing his sharp claws and ferocious face.
Two great knights of light and a dozen knights of glory, what a luxurious lineup this is.
In front of such a lineup, Lulian's well-dressed nobles and lords, who looked arrogant like proud red roosters, gathered in the gorgeous castle, drank wine, talked and laughed, and thought they had everything under control.
What a joke!
In this game that they thought belonged to them, a civilian kid slapped them with a loud slap in the face with a jaw-dropping card! Just like at this moment, although he didn't speak, he just smiled. But Will
Si could clearly hear his voice echoing in his ears.
"You guys are a piece of shit!"
………………………
………………………
Ten minutes later, Eugene walked into the living room, escorted by several glory knights.
Although he was captured for a time and received some rude treatment, when he walked into the living room, Eugene was still neatly dressed and walked calmly. Even when meeting the embarrassed Mrs. Joyce, there was no sign of confusion on his face.
No grudge at all. It seemed like nothing had happened.
Only when his eyes fell on Roy, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Wells and his gang were defeated, and Wells simply announced his surrender. Surrounded by twelve glorious knights, his knights obediently disarmed, took off their armor, and were put under guard. Shannon Manor, again
Control is back in Mrs Joyce's hands.
It only took less than half an hour of prayer. The smashed living room had been restored to its general appearance as the servants tidied it up. The floor was re-carpeted and the furniture was brought from other rooms.
It was moved over. The garbage was cleared away, and several crystal lamps were hung on the ceiling.
Until he sat down on the chair in front of the table, Eugene's eyes never left Roy.
The night was turbulent. Even before he came to see Mrs. Joyce, he had been prepared to sacrifice his life for charity. And the development of things was indeed heading towards the worst situation. The attackers who attacked Shannon Manor in Wales
At that moment, he no longer had any hope.
But he never expected that just when he was already a prisoner of his subordinates, someone would lead an army to surprise Shannon Manor and suppress the rebellious Wells. In less than an hour, the situation was over.
Reversed.
What made him even more unexpected was that the person who changed everything was actually such a young man with a thin body and a childish face.
Two Great Light Knights and twelve Glory Knights. Such a lineup made Eugene shocked, curious, and a little wary of Roy. After all, until now, he only knew Roy.
It's just some superficial information. But in these information, these high-level knights do not exist.
A little handyman from Baron Polabel's mansion and a young master who has the Great Light Knight following him are basically two different worlds. But now, these two people have merged into one in front of his eyes. This has to be done.
It creates a sense of absurdity and inevitable doubt.
"What kind of identity does he have? What kind of force is standing behind him? What is his intention in coming here today?" Questions were rolling in General Eugene's mind.
While Eugene was sizing up Roy, Roy was also sizing up the two-star imperial general he had seen from afar in the back camp.
To be honest, in Roy's opinion, Eugene is too orthodox, even orthodox to the point of being a bit pedantic.
As the supreme commander of Munich City, he holds great power and holds the title of justice. He has too many ways to deal with the Lanrith family. However, his moral code makes him here.
In the chaotic fight between monsters and monsters, he was completely at a disadvantage.
If it were him... Roy thought to himself, he would first use Munich's safety as an excuse to respectfully invite the Langris people out, or keep them under strict supervision in the name of protection.
Cut off their channels of communication with local nobles.
Secondly, they used the method of pushing and pulling, using interests and threats to divide the nobles, making them panic, suspicious of each other, and even conflicts broke out.
In the end, even if all these efforts fail in the face of the temptations of the Langris people, then when it is time to take action, we must take action without hesitation.
As long as they deploy in advance, disrupt the position of the nobles, and seize the core with an iron fist. The nobles on both sides may not be willing to fight to the death. They can surrender to the Lanlithians for their own interests, and they will also return to the Lanris people for their own interests.
Returning to Lulian's flag, adjusting to the wind and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages were originally their means of survival.
Moreover, for the sake of the overall situation, some sacrifices are inevitable. Even if one day the city of Munich becomes a river of blood, compared with Munich falling into the hands of betrayers, compared with thousands of soldiers on the front line and the city of Meding.
The lives of countless people in the North are also insignificant.
Roy has never been in the army, let alone a general. But he will always remember the words of the veteran who explained everything about the army to him when he was a child.
"War is war. Apart from life and death, there is no such thing as integrity, kindness and mercy. On the battlefield, whether you are a general or a soldier, there is only one thing you need to do, and that is to win.
No matter what means are used, no matter how insidious or cruel, you must do what you should do. Even if you do something wrong, even if you are criticized by everyone, don't hesitate. Just do it as quickly as possible and in the shortest time.
Only with victory can war, the monster that keeps devouring human lives, stop."
At that time, the veteran was lying in a hammock between two trees, half-squinting his eyes, seemingly lost in memories of past years.
"Little one, I don't know why your grandfather paid me to tell you this, but if one day you really go to the battlefield, then remember, the winner is king.
No matter what you want is wealth and glory, fame in the world, or just protecting someone, you have to rack your brains and use all means to win. And losers are not qualified to make any demands."
These words were particularly agreeable to Roy, who had grown up in a jungle where the jungle was dominated by the jungle. Therefore, he could not understand Eugene's choice.
Why are you so polite with those nobles? Because you are afraid of giving Archduke Adolf the bad reputation of attacking the lords who came to serve the king? Because it violates the spirit and moral code of chivalry? Hey, let’s not talk about people like Wells.
Mrs. Joyce, how could she be innocent?
However, even though he didn't understand it, when he saw Eugene walking calmly into the living room, Roy still sincerely admired this upright knight.
It is this kind of knight that achieves the glorious title of knight.
Just like Baron Brian who charged at the Feili Army a year and a half ago to cover the escape of civilians; just like Tom who died on the cliff to protect himself; just like the appearance of being cold and unhuman, but in fact it was for the students' benefit.
Kameni’s great teachings of improving and sparing no effort.
To a certain extent, Eugene is the same as them all.
Roy believes that he can choose to go into danger alone to uphold his moral principles and chivalry. Then, when facing the enemy on the battlefield, he will definitely choose to move forward bravely. He may not be cunning enough or wise enough, but he will definitely
No one can doubt his bravery and character.
Such a person deserves everyone's trust! This may be the reason why General Fano finally chose Eugene to succeed him!
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Eugene saluted Roy cautiously and said: "Mr. Roy, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..." He said, turning to look
He looked at the ashen-faced Earl of Wales, smiled slightly and said, "I have lost my head."
"General Eugene, you're welcome." Roy quickly returned the greeting. In terms of status, Eugene was much higher than him. In terms of age, Eugene was also an elder. As a soldier under Eugene, he was ordered by the highest officer
He saluted and thanked him. Even with Roy's heartlessness, he was a little flattered for a moment.
"Can I ask a question?" Eugene looked at Roy and asked.
"Of course," Roy nodded.
Eugene looked around, his eyes passing over the young gentleman and the knights beside him, and said with some confusion, "I want to ask, how did you know that Mrs. Joyce and I met here?
?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Joyce also cast the same curious gaze on Roy.
Tonight's meeting was leaked, and Schilling and Wells's gang learned that although it was unexpected, it was not surprising. It was just that the people around them had been bribed.
But what they can't understand is that Roy is just a new student in the first training camp. Not to mention that he is not in this whirlpool. Even if he is also a child of a certain noble family, before tonight, he was also
Mann was put in a cell. How did he know all this, and how did he bring people here.
"Well, it's a long story..." Roy touched his nose and smiled, "To put it simply, Herman told me."
Eugene and Mrs. Joyce's eyes widened at the same time.
Under the surprised gazes of the two people, Roy told what happened.
From how he was unexpectedly assigned to the rear camp, how the E-Brigade encountered unfair treatment, how he smelled a conspiracy against himself, and how he inferred that the nobles and the Langlis people colluded...the more he talked about it, Joey
The expression on Mrs. Si's face became even more embarrassing.
Fortunately, Roy quickly skipped this paragraph and talked about how he used the opportunity of Herman and others to publicly punish Griffin to get into a fight because of his suspicions, and even deliberately exposed a magic weapon on his body.
, induced Herman's greed, and then voluntarily gave up resistance and was thrown into prison.
Sure enough, because of the Fire Wing Soul-Eating Armor, Herman went to the prison in person. This gave Roy an opportunity to use the bandit army to isolate the news and attack Herman at the same time. But what he didn't expect was that from He
From Mann's mouth, he unexpectedly got the news that Schilling and the nobles were plotting to attack Eugene.
Then came this night attack.
Because he got the news too late, he didn't know Eugene's situation or Mrs. Joyce's attitude. In addition, he was afraid that the other party would jump over the wall and kill Eugene. Therefore, Roy asked the dozen bandits who followed him to honor him.
The knight secretly surrounded Shannon Manor, pretending to be Auston's servant, and entered the manor with Auston. After testing Mrs. Joyce's attitude, he took action to capture Wells.
It took Roy more than ten minutes to finish what he said. Although many of the things about the bandits and himself were concealed, it was enough to make Eugene and Mrs. Joyce stunned and shaken.
.
As the core figures between the pros and cons of this conflict, neither Eugene nor Mrs. Joyce expected that when they focused their attention on each other, right under their noses,
There was such a boy watching me silently.
Judging from his frank narration, the current ragtag army has almost become his personal armed force. And in the series of treacherous changes tonight, this kid hit the mark as soon as he took action. Not only did he save Eugene
, and also secretly captured the back camp, which was regarded as the back garden by the nobles.
Turning around to look at the two great knights of light next to Roy, and then thinking about the dozen glorious knights who controlled the manor, Eugene and Mrs. Joyce both shuddered.
If there is only one winner in this conflict, then this person is not them, nor Xilin, but this ordinary boy who is not outstanding in appearance and always has a vague smile! What if he wants to do something now?
If so, even I can't escape from his grasp!
"Why?" Eugene looked into Roy's eyes and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
This is his biggest question.
No matter how you look at it, Roy has nothing to do with this dispute. He is neither a loyal knight under Archduke Adolf, nor a lord or a nobleman with entangled interests. What is happening in Munich and how the situation has changed?
, he can completely ignore it.
With two great knights of light and a dozen knights of glory in his hands, even if he wanted to intervene, he could always wait for a price. At least Eugene himself believed that if before tonight, he and his people found him and opened a
For the price, I will definitely not refuse.
"Lulian cannot do without Archduke Adolf, and the empire cannot afford to lose this battle. In this city of Munich, there are thousands of civilians who may lose their lives..." Roy smiled slightly and said, "What do you think about these words?
If it's too hypocritical, then all I can say is..."
In front of Eugene and Mrs. Joyce, the young man's smiling mouth revealed his white teeth.
"It's a man from Lanlith who provoked me first."
In the quiet living room, candlelight danced.
Eugene and Mrs. Joyce looked at Roy blankly.
They had heard about some conflicts between him and the Lanlithians, but they didn't know much about the specific details. If some other boy said the same thing in front of them, they would just find it ridiculous. After all,
, it is not surprising for a behemoth like the Langris family to provoke anyone.
Over the past two hundred years, they have provoked more than tens of thousands of people. But how can it be so bad? Even if they are a powerful family, even if they are heroes in the world, except for those who endure humiliation and live in espionage, no one else wants to
Those who fight against the Langris family eventually become their stepping stones.
In this continent, they are like a giant stepping on an ant's nest, ferocious, arrogant and wanton. Any counterattack against them will eventually prove to be an egg against a stone.
Nowadays, the Langris family rules a large principality and controls the political arena of the Pompeii Empire. With the support of the Holy See, it can be said to be all-powerful and unscrupulous. Even the royal families of the three major empires are not looked down upon by them. What's more, they are nothing.
A basic civilian boy?
Provoking this kid is just a way of giving him face. Could it be that he still wants to do something to the people of Lanlis?
But at this moment, Eugene and Mrs. Joyce had no funny thoughts at all.
They looked at the young man in front of them.
With a thin body, a somewhat big head, delicate features, and a confused smile, he always makes people feel a little friendly.
But they were just glad that it was the Lanlis people who provoked this kid, not themselves.
After a long time, Countess Joyce's voice sounded in the room.
"Roy, what should we do next?"
"I think..." A sly smile appeared on the black-haired boy's face, "Our first step is to trouble Mrs. Joyce and go to Xilin's place..."
.
I wish everyone a happy new year and all the best.
