These knights are wearing heavy armor, and each of their faces is covered by a cold steel mask. They are tall, ride equally tall and majestic horses, and are well-trained in their movements. The lances on the horses are carried on their backs.
The long sword is as sharp and cold as their eyes.
In front of these knights, the crowd was like foam hitting a rock, retreating one after another. Many of them were forced backwards and fell by the horses that were higher than their heads, and the scene was chaotic.
After separating the people, six of the knights turned their horses' heads, rode directly along the steps, and rushed onto the terrace with such brutality that everyone was shocked and fled. The leader, a knight in red armor, kept running wildly.
The horse rushed to Xilin, turned over, shook his stirrup, and took off his helmet.
This man had a large square face, thick eyebrows, and messy blond hair. He had a beard that covered his mouth and chin. He had a pair of eyes that were full of fierceness.
"Dina! The Lanlith family, the Great Bright Knight of the Dragon Claw of the East Branch!" One person in the chaotic crowd of nobles lost his voice, "He is actually here."
"Who is Dana?" someone asked quietly next to him.
The man gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said: "This damn guy is a vicious dog of the Langris family. A two-star knight of great light, with a secret fire-focusing fighting spirit and the Fenyun personally passed down by Leonardo, the leader of the East branch.
Combat skills, arrogant and domineering. I don’t know how many innocent souls are under my command!”
"Oh my god, a two-star knight of great light..." someone exclaimed, "Archduke Adolf is not here, and General Fano is also gone. Who is still his opponent in Munich now?"
More than that!
The people standing on this terrace are all nobles from all over the empire. They are well-informed. They are very familiar with the Lanlith family and the armed forces under their command.
In addition to Dana and the others, the other five knights are also familiar to everyone. They are all genuine long knights of the Lanlith Dragon Claw Knights!
Leonardo, the patriarch of the East Branch family, and the Dragon Claw Knights under his command, have always been a bright weapon for the Lanlith family. Whether it is conflicts, attacks, assassinations, or bodyguard protection of important members. As long as you can see the Lanlith family,
On the golden dragon flag, you can see the shadow of the Dragon Claw Knight.
There are three levels of dragon claw knights. The lowest level is the knight of justice. The second is the long knight who is the knight of glory. There are ten high-level dragon claw knights. They are all great knights of light. The patriarch Leonardo
and the three great dragon claw elders, who possess the strength of sword masters or paladins.
For more than two hundred years, the Dragon Claw Knights have been fighting everywhere, making great contributions to the expansion of the Langris family.
They are powerful and fierce. Some of them are carefully selected from thousands of knights in the Principality of Lanlith. The other part are strong men recruited by the Lanlith family among the three empires. They are the most loyal members of the Lanlith family.
Warriors, go through fire and water, be brave and fearless of death!
Everyone has lost count of how many legends about the Dragon Claw Knight are circulating on the mainland.
But whether it is the Dragon Claw Knight running thousands of miles to hunt disrespectful people and traitors; or breaking into a noble's well-defended castle, slaughtering all the people in the house, and walking away; or setting up an army to capture the castle and beheading the city lord and the nobles in the city.
...All the legends prove one thing - never go against the Dragon Claw Knight.
These guys are cruel, cold-blooded and pious. For the Lanres family, they will do anything. Whether it is sacrificing their lives, or committing crimes against others!
A Dana, plus these five dragon-claw knights and dozens of knights in the audience, this kind of power is enough to sweep the city of Munich. Unless Eugene dares to bear the blame of thousands of people and destroy the city of Munich.
Falling into a civil war that engulfs everyone, otherwise, he will definitely lose this confrontation!
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Kazins and the nobles around him looked livid. Even if they wanted to fight Xilin, they had no chance of winning. Adding these people together with the guarding knights around him, it would not be enough for Dana to fill the gap in his teeth!
The eyes of others looking at Xilin were full of shock and fear.
The curtain of this grand drama has just begun, and the ending is already about to unfold!
The noble lords who betrayed openly, plus these Dragon Claw Knights, today. At this moment, there is no force in Munich that can compete with the Langris people.
Unless Archduke Adolf miraculously leads the main force to fly out of the Philanthropic encirclement, or Fano risks a major rout, retreats in front of the Philanthropic army, and leads his army back to the city within one day, otherwise no one can stop Schilling.
The footsteps of this second-level butler of Langres to rule the city!
Lulian is finished!
This was the thought that flashed through the minds of many people present.
Even those who hate the Lanlith family the most have to admit that in this continent, the Lanlith family is the well-deserved first family! This greedy and powerful golden dragon is only thousands of kilometers away from Lu in the south.
Li An pressed his little finger and already suppressed his opponent to death!
In the Principality of Lanrith, Schilling was just a second-level butler with a not-so-prominent status. But in the city of Munich at the moment, he was the master of everything!
By this time, General Eugene, who was supposed to be Schilling's opponent, had not shown up yet.
"What?" Looking at Kazins, who was pressing the hilt of his sword with exposed veins, and the nobles beside him, Xilin said with contempt: "Do you still want to take action now?"
In the deathly silence, Kazins gritted his teeth and said: "Xillin, don't be too arrogant. General Eugene will never let you succeed! All of you will pay the price for this!"
"Eugene?" Schilling laughed.
Everyone looked at each other. In Xilin's laughter, they heard something unusual!
"How..." Earl Kazins's expression changed, and he looked at the many nobles behind Xilin in surprise. Facing his gaze, those people silently avoided it.
"I have always wanted to meet General Eugene and discuss with him the defense measures of Munich. I think what he and General Fano did was irresponsible. They devoted the few remaining troops to rescuing Adolf.
In the Grand Duke's bottomless pit, where do they want to put the lives of the people in the city?"
Schilling looked at Kazins, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered: "However, I heard that General Eugene left the military camp last night and never came back. I don't know where he is now. Mr. Kazins,
If you know where General Eugene is, you might as well ask him to come out and meet us."
Seeing Xilin's confident smile, the crowd was in a commotion!
Which of these people present is not a good person who is accustomed to intrigues and good at observing people's opinions? If based on Xilin's attitude and these words, they couldn't guess that something happened to Eugene, then it would be an insult to their intelligence!
"General Eugene is not in the army?"
"Where did he go?"
"Could it be that Xilin and the others..."
"No way."
The scene was chaotic for a moment. If everyone had heard a little bit of news about the previous public betrayal of the nobles and the appearance of Dana and others, and was somewhat mentally prepared, then Xilin's words were like a thunder.
Everyone was shocked.
What if Eugene was... A terrible thought was rolling in everyone's mind. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xilin's face.
"You..." Count Kazins was shocked and angry, "What did you do to General Eugene?"
"Huh?" Xilin said strangely, "Don't you know where General Eugene is? Why are you asking me about it? It's as if I have him under house arrest. Let me state first that this matter has nothing to do with me.
Maybe the general thought it was difficult to clean up this mess in Munich, so he just ran away overnight?"
"Xillin, you..." Count Cazes was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his hands and feet were cold.
At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Eugene must have fallen into Xilin's hands. This discovery made him despair.
Everyone was talking a lot. Whether it was the representatives of the four major families, the female envoys of the Holy Lady Palace, or the nobles representing all the forces, the way they looked at Xilin at this moment had all changed.
Although it is still not certain that Eugene fell into the hands of Xi Lin, but Xi Lin dared to be so confident, I am afraid the truth is not far away.
The fight between the two camps involves tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line, Archduke Adolf and the people of this city. It can be said that it is life and death. But not only is Eugene's strength inferior to his opponent, but he himself does not even know where to go, so how can we fight?
It would be better to just lie down and get beaten.
This news was so shocking. None of the nobles dared to neglect it and sent their servants to check the authenticity.
After a while, the news came back.
What Schilling said is true!
Since leaving last night, Eugene has never returned to the military camp. Until now, the army is commanded by Avery, the acting commander appointed by Eugene before leaving.
It is reported that Avery had issued martial law last night, and this morning the defense of the military camps had been strengthened. All major camps were not allowed to mobilize any soldiers without his order, otherwise they would be punished as rebellion!
The rain is coming!
Everyone felt a chill from this news. Only then did everyone realize that under the calm lake in Munich, there was already a turbulent undercurrent.
Obviously, since Eugene did not return all night, Avery had realized some danger. As the acting commander, he issued martial law, which was the only option to deal with the aristocratic lord forcing the palace.
His position was assigned when Eugene left. Now, he is the highest commander in the army. Noble officers, including deputy commander Darnell, must obey his orders. As long as he does not order the lifting of martial law,
No one dares to act rashly.
Although these nobles have surrendered to the Langris people, they do not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and blatantly order an army to rebel. Doing so will not do them any good.
As local nobles, what they want is a complete city of Munich and a complete coalition army to deal with the invasion of the Phillies and protect their property and territory. The purpose of the Langris people is to establish their prestige. They
I don't want to get involved in a civil war and settle the facts.
Therefore, if they want to gain control of the coalition forces, it is useless for the nobles to stand outside. They have only one way - to let Avery out!
In this coalition, these noble lords who led their own private armies have no command authority, but in name they are also members of the Senate of the Headquarters. According to military regulations, if the commander is missing or killed in battle, the nine
The Senate President always has the right to elect a new successor.
At this moment, among the nine noble senators and elders, there were seven standing behind Xi Lin, accounting for the majority.
Avery has been maintaining a state of martial law, and these people can't do anything to him. But once he comes out, they can immediately initiate a motion to elect a new coach. By that time, unless Eugene comes back, or Avery can prove that these nobles have committed a crime
A certain crime disqualified him from being the Senate President. Otherwise, he would not be able to hand over power even if he wanted to.
What is disgusting is that although Eugene cannot come back, there is no way for Avery to deprive these noble lords of their Senate seniority.
Because, firstly, the St. Solan Empire and the Principality of Langris are not belligerent countries, and Schilling is a guest rather than an enemy in name. There is no crime in their friendship with Schilling. Secondly, they have not publicly announced their betrayal.
They have not done anything that violates military law. Therefore, even if they stand behind Xilin at this moment, no one can crucify them according to the law and condemn them.
On the contrary, if this group of so-called Senate elders collectively launched an attack, it would be Avery's crime to refuse to hand over power or even take action first.
I have to say that Xilin's move was really vicious.
The only hope now is that Avery simply hides in the military camp. Anyway, sending troops today has come to nothing. It is better to simply blockade the military camp. As time goes by, maybe General Fano, who is far away on the front line, can respond.
resolve this crisis.
Amid the discussion, time passed by minute by second. The sun became brighter, but the atmosphere in the square became increasingly dull and depressing.
Everything that happened on the terrace was like the shock wave of an explosion, spreading to the surrounding crowd, triggering a tsunami of exclamations and curses from the crowd.
The angry crowd began to riot, but the camp gate remained closed. The guards at the gate and on the watchtower were like sculptures.
Seeing that Avery had decided on the strategy of defending behind closed doors and leaving his opponent outside, everyone present turned their attention to Xilin. Unexpectedly, this second-level housekeeper of Langris. After playing a set of combination punches, he was facing
Do you have any other tricks for Avery who keeps his door closed?
"It seems that Avery is not stupid." Xilin looked at his slender fingers. He half-squinted his eyes and said quietly to Natasha beside him.
Among the group of nobles around Xilin, Natasha is the most determined one.
After taking action last night, she had no way out. Today, she had to either seize control of the coalition forces and Munich City and fight the Langleys family to the end. Or, she would suffer a total defeat. If she, Wells and others' crimes in attacking Eugene were exposed
, I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to escape death.
Therefore, facing the contemptuous looks of everyone around her, Natasha turned a blind eye and chuckled: "I think Mr. Avery needs some time to think about it carefully. General Eugene is missing, and his acting commander's abilities are not up to par.
How can we, the elders of the Senate, trust him with our troops?"
As soon as she finished her voice, she heard Count Cazes spit on the ground and cursed: "You son of a bitch!"
The old man was strong-willed by nature and hated evil as much as he hated evil. Although this curse was really against the aristocratic demeanor, it also won a burst of laughter and praise from everyone around him.
From the moment she went to the terrace of the Hera Hotel, Natasha shamelessly stood next to Xi Lin, following every step with a proud face. She seemed to be close to Xi Lin, and from then on she rose through the ranks and was superior to others. Compared to her
Mrs. Joyce and others next to her seemed much more flamboyant.
Everyone has long been dissatisfied with Natasha's face.
Natasha looked suffocated, and her face turned blue and white. But after a while, she regained her composure.
She turned to look at Count Cazes with a sarcastic look, and said calmly: "Mr. Cazes, don't forget, this is Lulian. As a guest, you stay here honestly, we welcome you. But you
Don't forget the rules of identity and try to interfere in our affairs."
After saying that, she snorted coldly: "Don't be so shameless!"
"You are outrageous!" Someone from the crowd around him immediately yelled angrily.
"Okay!" Count Cazes laughed angrily, "Today I will stand here and watch. See what other shameful methods you can use. It's better for me to watch the show here than for some shameful betrayers.
It feels good to be left out here and scolded."
"Do you think there's nothing we can do against Avery because he's pretending to be a coward?" Before Natasha could retort, Xilin glanced at Count Cazes lightly and sneered, "If he doesn't come out,
Can't we force him to come out? I just want to see how long he can hide with a slap on the face!"
With that said, Xilin glanced at Natasha.
Natasha stretched out her hand to summon a knight and whispered a few words in his ear. The knight nodded repeatedly. After Natasha finished her instructions, he bowed and saluted, mounted his horse and galloped away. Soon he passed through the hurriedly avoiding people.
The crowd left the south city gate.
"What do they want to do?"
Everyone speculated one after another. The nobles who were leaning towards Grand Duke Adolf had solemn expressions, while several female envoys from the Holy Maiden Hall were full of curiosity.
Xilin stole the show today.
It was originally an evenly matched contest between the two camps, but it turned out to be his overwhelming personal performance. If he can force Avery out, then after today, this second-level butler of the Lanlith family will definitely be famous in Solan.
.Wherever he goes in the future, he will be greeted with awe.
I just don’t know, what will he do?
