Chapter 1010 Chapter 241. King's Pilgrimage
The King's Tour has finally arrived.

The city guards and the Knights were on high alert, patrolling the newly renovated streets. People on the streets were not allowed to spit anywhere, and even those who were not dressed properly would be dragged to the dungeon and locked up.

Fortunately, the Free Blade did not jump out at this time. They were honest, and the city guards were happy to turn a blind eye.

As for whether they would direct and act in the assassination themselves... probably not, after all, assassination is also an insult to the royal power.

Except Annan.

He didn't think that the king who had spent three years running such a huge kingdom to the point of collapse would dare to run to the outer city. So even on the day of the pilgrimage, he still searched the streets for traces of the "Free Blade", which made Dirk and others itchy.

"Boss, that woman is right. Killing Clo won't solve the problem. The ones who really oppress us are these bastards..." someone said, while others were eager to try.

Dirk said without even turning his head: "For us, is there any difference between killing the king and killing the city guards?"

"We can't kill the king, and can't we kill a city guard?" The members were dissatisfied.

"We are not as strong as they are, our weapons are not as good as theirs, and we do not have as many people as they do. What else can we do except die?"

Some of his men are radical, but Dirk doesn't think this is a bad thing... those who don't have a rebellious spirit are still being oppressed by the nobles.

"Do our own thing and don't let other Freeblade brothers make fun of us."

At this moment, the king's pilgrimage team left the palace in a mighty manner.

The residents were forced to stand in the cold wind, feeling the chill, and yet they had to express their love for the king's motorcade.

When Annan was wandering around the outer city with his men, the military minister's confidant came hurriedly and said, "The king has left the inner city and is heading towards you!"

Discovered?

Annan couldn't be sure, so he rushed back to Hot Street with his men.

At this time, the king's procession had just reached Case Street, several miles away. He was not discovered, but the king chose a route that would pass through Hot Street.

Annan was worried about Dirk and feared that they would bring disaster to the people on this street, so he asked Maria to observe the area to make sure they showed no signs of taking action.

As the king's motorcade approached, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette in front knocked on doors from house to house and asked everyone to stand in the cold wind to welcome the king.

Because of the changes that had taken place on Hot Street over the past two days, the residents had become a little more honest, standing on both sides of the road and looking toward the end of the street at the huge convoy that was slowly approaching.

Annan stood in the crowd, looking at the soldiers in the front row with their heads held high, the knights riding tall horses, the court wizards floating in the air, and the king's chariot pulled by a golden dragon.

Annan's gaze lingered on the golden dragon pulling the cart for a long time, then he raised his eyes to look at the figure sitting behind the veil.

Clo would never have imagined that his mortal enemy, whom he had been thinking about day and night, was standing by the road at this moment, standing with countless tiny people like dust.

The Freeblades that are encircling the kingdom are getting closer and closer, and the day they overthrow you won't be far away...

Annan undoubtedly exuded some malicious intent, and he was horrified when he saw the malicious intent detection spell maintained at the back of the team - but the spell still deceived itself with a green glow.

It was just some kind of modified illumination.

It seems that the court wizard is not stupid. As long as you don't detect it, it doesn't exist.

The king's parade drove away from Hot Street. As Annan had just evacuated the residents, he saw several pairs of knights galloping hurriedly on the street, chasing the convoy that had just left.

"what happened?"

Annan stopped the city guard officer who was running at the end.

"The King's convoy was attacked!"

It's not to make Free Blade behave himself... or is it other righteous people who did it?
Soon, Annan got the inside information from the Minister of Military Affairs: several Holy Grail Knights' followers launched a revenge operation, and it was not the Freeblade who did it, but both the officials and the guards swore that they were the Freeblade. After all, the Holy Grail Knights always stood on the side of justice, so who was the evil one?
They must be Freeblades, and only Freeblades.

Annan couldn't help and could only capture more Free Blades to "avenge" these companions.

At this time, Sheafield brought good news: a new group of Free Blades had arrived outside the city.

"Continue the investigation, don't act rashly, and tell me when you have any news." Annan said.

Sheafield's men continued, "It's too late. These Free Blades are being hunted down by the Knights!"

Annan stood up immediately: "Bring people and catch them!"

……

The high walls of the new capital not only block the cold wind, but also the hopes of the slums stretching out in the suburbs.

This group of "Free Blades" who escaped from the slums are rampaging on the streets because they are being hunted by the Knights.

The locals were horrified by the Freeblade's appearance and wanted to show the Knights the direction in which they could escape, but everything changed when the Knights raised their swords and killed him.

The Knights couldn't tell who was the Freeblade, and to prevent them from escaping, they surrounded the streets and killed anyone they saw.

The Free Blades who escaped into a big house saw the brutality of the Knights and rushed out to fight them desperately.

As a result, they were stopped by a group of residents at the door of the big house. They said, "I will help you stop them, you run!"

An old man stepped forward and said, "I know a way out!"

"you……"

"We can't survive, so we might as well fight them to the death. You are hope, so leave quickly," the residents advised.

Freeblade remembered their help and ran out to the street following the old man.

On the way, a young mother rushed out and handed her several-month-old baby to the Free Blade.

She was betting everything she had that Freeblade really wouldn't abandon the baby as the rumors said.

She made the right bet, Freeblade did not abandon the baby.

She also made a wrong bet, because the old man led them to a crossroads guarded by a knight.

The old man ran forward, shouting as he ran: "Sir, I brought the Free Blade!"

The knights launched a charge, and the old man thought, Don’t blame me, don’t blame me… You have brought disaster, and only when you die will everything stop… Why are they charging at me?
The old man, who had no time to dodge, was knocked high into the air by the knight, sliding six or seven meters away like a rag. Before the old man died in agony, a bloody swaddling cloth fell beside him.

……

When Annan and his men arrived, the streets were littered with frozen blood and corpses. The knights drove the residents, who were wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold wind, into prison carts like driving lambs.

A knight from the periphery rode up to Annan and said arrogantly, "This is a matter for the Knights of Sesu. City guards, get out of here."

Annan said nothing, continuing to scan the tragic scene on the street, and suddenly pulled out the long sword Maria was carrying. "You are the Free Blades."

"What did you say?"

"The people who protect this country will capture and massacre their own people? You must be the Freedom Blade!"

Annan pointed his sword at the knight on horseback and shouted coldly, "Attack, life or death!"
