Because of the attack at the South Gate, the seriousness of the dwarf convoy encountering bandits has risen to a new level.
Although Roy and others had been questioned before, when they arrived in the army, they were still arranged to be questioned in a separate room and told in detail about their encounter with the bandits and the attack on the South Gate. All of this was done after they took the oath.
The testimony is recorded.
This time, Lulian sent more than twenty secretaries, hundreds of police officers, and more than a dozen large and small security and criminal officials. The atmosphere was solemn and tense.
It is said that the South Gate attack made Archduke Adolf very angry. Not only did he order a city-wide manhunt, but he also immediately summoned representatives and leaders of major aristocrats, wealthy families, plutocrats and other forces to inform them of the case and request assistance in the investigation.
A veiled and stern warning was given.
At the same time, the search for the escaped murderers is also underway. Not only the Munich City Guards are out in force, but also the Bavarian Knights and the Coast Mercenary Group are joining in. Soldiers are checking every intersection in the city, and they are fully armed.
The knights move back and forth as if facing a powerful enemy.
While Roy and others were being questioned, dozens of knights surrounded a group of carriages and quickly drove into the military camp.
The carriage stopped, and the nine Lurian lords hurriedly got out of the car to meet with the waiting Lulian military generals such as Fano. They came on the order of Adolf to form a noble court to investigate and judge the case.
"Marquise Joyce, Marquis Engels..." After exchanging greetings with these lords who represented Lullian's top nobility, Fano said simply, "Please follow me."
The lords followed Fano and Avery through the corridor with serious faces.
"General Farno," Mrs. Joyce asked, "is there any news now about those people who escaped?"
"Not yet." Fano shook his head and said. "The background of these guys is not simple. There should be someone to support them, and they also have hiding places in the city."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "You should also know that there are some places that we cannot search at will."
The lords looked at each other with serious expressions.
The identity of these attackers is actually not difficult to guess. Everyone can be absolutely sure that they are members of a certain family or plutocratic force gathered in Munich.
However, in the absence of direct evidence, even Fano could not directly lead troops to break in and conduct a search.
"I heard that we captured a magician and a knight of glory?" Marquis Engels, walking beside Mrs. Joyce, asked in a deep voice, "Have they spoken?"
Engels was an important minister under Adolf. He had always followed Adolf in military campaigns.
He was tall, with a square face that was calm and self-reliant. He was upright and resolute, and had a high prestige among the lords of Lulian. Especially when Adolf was defeated and trapped, Engels persisted and led his soldiers in bloody battles.
Charged and repelled the enemy's attacks several times. His achievements were outstanding.
This time, Adolf sent him directly. This shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.
"Well..." Fano said with a slight frown, "Actually, it's not difficult to get the answer after catching the person. But the question is..." He looked around, "Do we want this answer, or do we not want it?"
When the lords heard this, they immediately fell silent.
Indeed, as Fano said, once you have caught someone, as long as the other person is not a strictly trained dead soldier, there are ten thousand ways to make them speak. If you are sentenced to death, it will take less than three minutes. This guy with a weak constitution will kill him.
He confessed everything about bedwetting when he was a child.
But, so what if you say it?
There are some things that are not necessarily beneficial to knowing the truth. On the contrary, these truths may put Lulian in a dilemma.
You must know that the people gathered in Lulian now are all wealthy families from all over the Redemption Continent. Many families have extremely deep foundations and strength, and are huge in power.
As the smallest of the five principalities of the Solan Empire, Lulian was the weakest. Especially the war that lasted for more than a year had left the land desolate and the people's livelihood withered, and Adolf had almost emptied his family fortune.
At this moment, Lulian finally got a little time to recuperate and regain his strength through a bloody battle from top to bottom. If for some reason the hard-earned peace and tranquility were broken, it would definitely be unbearable by everyone in the principality.
blow.
After being silent for a while, Engels nodded and slowly said: "From a rational point of view, this is indeed worthy of our concern. However, I think that compared to politics and interests, as knights and nobles, we should consider
It’s glory and dignity!”
He looked around: "Lulien may not be powerful. But don't forget, we defeated the Feili people and made the Lanlith people stumble here. Think about our brave warriors and think about the past year or so.
After everything we have experienced, what else should we be afraid of?”
Engels's voice echoed in the silent corridor.
When he reached the iron fence leading to the prison, Engels stopped in front of the guard and turned his head: "Do you remember that young man with black hair?"
The lords looked solemn and nodded.
They knew who Engels was talking about. Perhaps in this continent shrouded in the divine light of heaven, that boy's name had become a taboo. However, in their minds, this boy saved Lulian and everyone here.
Man, the hero of every family.
Without Roy, it's hard for them to imagine what they would be like.
Families have been destroyed, wives and children have been separated. Such things have happened to too many Lulians. Not long ago, these disasters were so close to us, almost within reach.
It was Roy who brought about a miracle in an almost desperate situation. It was this young man who stood in the most critical position at the most critical moment and turned the tide.
After the war, the lords returned to their territories.
Every time they see the quiet castle in the morning light, the peaceful and hard-working citizens, the children chasing and playing, and the wives and families rushing to hug them, they will feel scared.
They were just one step away from losing it all.
When they hugged their daughters and told them stories; when they patrolled their territory and nodded to the saluting citizens; when they sat at the dining table and looked at the gentle wives and servants walking past, they
I can't help but be grateful to Roy.
I am grateful for everything he has done for this land and these people.
That war has engraved the name of that black-haired boy on the heart of every Lulian and on this land. Even if he suffered divine punishment, even if he was pronounced a heretic by the angel of heaven.
It will not affect his status in everyone's mind at all.
"I have been telling myself that we cannot be inferior to an eighteen-year-old young man. The courage he showed will make me feel ashamed of every cowardice and hesitation I have for those damn reasons."
With that said, Engels pushed open the iron door.
"This time, no matter who is behind the scenes, we must take it upon ourselves to uphold Lulian's justice, honor and dignity. From the moment they killed our soldiers, they were already our enemies. They should be afraid
It’s them, not us!”
Engels stood at the door, looking sideways at the lords.
In the silence, Mrs. Joyce smiled slightly, nodded to Engels, lifted her skirt slightly, and walked in gracefully. Behind her, the lords looked at each other and filed in without hesitation.
When Fano, who was walking at the end, passed by Engels, Engels raised his eyebrows and whispered: "General Fano, now you won't doubt our determination anymore, will you?"
"I don't mean to doubt it at all, I'm just reminding you of the consequences," Fano said with a smile, "I knew you wouldn't care."
"Go in!" Engels pushed him into the door and sneered. "Don't do this. I don't know you yet? Tell me, what are your plans?"
"Of course it's a tooth for a tooth," Fano sneered, "To be honest, this time the demons invaded. Since His Majesty has ordered the lords from all over the country to mobilize their troops to go north, we Lulian can't avoid it. No matter from which aspect, we also want to get it.
The support of these foreign races…”
He walked side by side with Engels, walked down the dark spiral stone staircase, and said: "After all, we just fought a battle with the Feili people, and the three major armies were reduced by more than half. The private armies under your lords are also
There aren’t many left. But if we really want to go north and fight the demons, the ones we will recruit will definitely be the best of the best. Let’s do some calculations, how many people can we bring out?”
Engels nodded solemnly.
Although Lulian is in the south of the continent, he still has a duty to fight against the demons in a war that affects the life and death of all mankind. Soon, Archduke Adolf will personally lead the army to the north to join the Soland Emperor in the fight against the demons.
go in the ranks.
But this war is different from the previous fight against Fei Lie's invasion.
With the invasion of the demons, the traditional form of war has been profoundly changed. The main forces of both warring parties are no longer legions mainly composed of ordinary soldiers. Instead, they are elite troops led by strong men from the holy realm. Strong men
The duel will determine the outcome of the war to a large extent.
The other soldiers, even if they are only performing logistical support and garrison tasks, are at least brave knights and above. Ordinary people cannot play any role at all in such a war.
Lulian was not originally a place rich in knights, and there were very few high-level knights. Coupled with a war that lasted for nearly two years, Lulian was riddled with wounds. Therefore, Archduke Adolf was troubled by this expedition.
The list of candidates for the expedition is being discussed every day.
Under such circumstances, to say that Lulian is unmoved by the power of these alien races is to deceive himself and others.
"However," Fano said, "I also know that with our current strength in Lulian, there is really no way to compete with those guys. The two principalities of Sinasili and Saxony are stronger than us. And they are not broken.
We can't offer the price they offer."
Fano twisted his fingers: "Even if we remove these two powerful enemies, there are still Donald's gang, the four major families in the imperial capital, and the nobles and plutocrats from several regions who are now united..."
He counted, sighed dejectedly and said: "Forget it, the Grand Duke knew better than us from the beginning. He didn't even expect these aliens to join us, Lulian. However, we don't want to fight. We can even stand by and watch these guys go."
Tossing people with unspeakable means..."
At this point, Fano was already murderous: "But if they want to offend us, then even if they are blind! Even if their backstage is the King of Heaven, they still have to kill the murderers of my Munich guards.
