Heart of the Castle

Chapter 757 Invoke the teacher to ask the crime, the camp riot

The brilliance of the Silver Moon Maya hangs low to the western sky, casting countless shimmering silver ripples on the water of the Oath River, while the Red Moon Mata hangs high in the sky, like a weeping scar on the black sky.The night wind blew across the broken walls of the dark fortress, echoing with whimpering, making this already restless night even more bleak and bloody.

A gust of night wind blew across the team, as if invisible sharp claws were tearing at the flag. The regent of the Kingdom of Arthur, Liviston, flinched unknowingly as he rode the Dark Nightmare of the North. Exhausted, yet the development of the situation never allowed him to lie down and rest.

The examination of the corpses of the dark elves who were found performing the curse ceremony in the ruins has ended, and no evidence was found on the corpses to prove their identities. However, Hai Hua, who once belonged to the second branch of the Death Knights, Jazz was surprised to recognize the appearance of one of the dark elves.

"It's Thomas Jansen's direct subordinate." Sir Howard said with unquestionable affirmation, "Dark elves are rare, I will not admit it wrong, and I still remember James, the captain of the Reaper Special Operations Team, issued a message to him. challenged and failed disgracefully."

The name James made Levi's face show a trace of emotion. After solving the crisis of the Rotten Swamp last winter, he encountered the terrible assassin and his troops in the Dusk Forest on the way back. If it wasn't for the same trip One of them was the dragon king Fidel Adams, who was interviewed privately in a micro-service. Perhaps the entire group would die under that terrifying black long sword.

At that time, the Kingdom of Arthur had not yet been fully invaded by demons, and the capital of King Fermeyer was still standing on the banks of the River of Oath... Recalling it is almost like what happened 100 years ago.

"If this is the case, then the actual controller of the Second Eastern County, the Lord of the Eyes, Tomad Jansen, can't escape the responsibility anyway." Li Wei suddenly stood up, and his tone came to a conclusion, "Marquis Gerald, Master Sugard, please report the relevant situation to the leaders of the Shining Alliance; Master Frederick, Sir Rodriguez, and Marquis Osiris, let's go to the camp in the second eastern county together to see that Thomas Deyang What kind of explanation can Master Sen give?"

Since the last break with the leaders of the Shining Alliance, the camps of the Second Eastern Counties have been separated from the joint camp of the Shining Alliance and set up in the opposite direction from the camps of the northern troops.Considering the tense relationship between Dongfang Second County and Beijing County, although such a location makes the rift more superficial, it is absolutely guaranteed in terms of safety.At least when Li Weiston and the others led thousands of Griffin Knights to question their sins, the first thing to be alarmed was the Hundreds of Thousands of Glorious Alliance.

Even though Marquis Jeros, who is good at diplomacy, and Master Sugard, a knowledgeable red-robed old scholar, had gone to report the situation first, the reaction of the Radiant Alliance was still to dissuade them.The gate of the camp opened with a bang when the Griffon Knights approached, and then the two Guardian Knights, the Sword of Conviction and the Hammer of Judgment, rushed out like two long steel rivers, forming a horizontal array in front of them.

According to Sir Rodriguez's suggestion, the Griffin Knights should approach the past with the momentum of a charge, to see if the Guardian Knights of the Shining Temple dare to fight to the death.However, this suggestion was unanimously opposed by Levy and Mr. Dish.According to the young regent, if there is a bloody conflict between the Shining Temple and the new King Arthur's court, it may just happen to fulfill the wish of the Lord of the Eyes.

The Scourge Knight was indignant, and it was Mr. Dish's addition of a few explanations that completely dispelled Sir Rodriguez's thoughts. "Religious fanatics never know right from wrong, but they don't take their lives seriously. I have to admit that the overall strength of the Radiant Temple is not much inferior to ours. After defeating these two Apologist Knights, are we going to defeat the [-]-strong army of the Glory Alliance?"

Sir Rodriguez nodded reluctantly, then waved his hand. The horn blew shrilly, and the entire team of thousands of knights immediately reined in the horses. Their movements were neat and uniform, and there was no unnecessary noise. Only the golden griffin flag was fluttering above their heads, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

"Unimaginable discipline...unimaginable." The head of the Hammer of Judgment let Layton admire in a low voice, his eyes shining behind the white high helmet with the golden sunburst crest, which belongs to the real The fighting spirit surged in the knight's chest, even if he was a devout follower of the Lord of Radiance, he couldn't completely contain it. "As a knight, if you can confront such an army, it should be regarded as the highest honor."

"Jean Layton, it seems that it is a pity that you don't believe in the god of war Balud." Ingram, the head of the Sword of Condemnation, commented indifferently. The victim's face was expressionless, but the right hand tightly grasping the hilt of the waist revealed that his heart was not without waves and ups and downs.

Especially when seeing the black armored knight behind Levi—Sir Rodriguez.

Sir Rodriguez was keenly aware of the fiery eyes cast from the opposite array, and a happy smile was drawn behind the ferocious black visor.Death knights can be said to be an outlier among the undead creatures. They have the same straightforward character and faithful practice of the motto of the knights as before... although the way of practice is not the same as that of ordinary people.For them, being able to sleep forever in the fierce confrontation is the best ending, at least this is the case for the leader of the Scourge Knights, Upondra, the deputy leader Sarabel, and the "Broken Face" knight.

"It would be a pity if I missed it..." Sir Rodriguez's eyes showed a sincere regret, "If it wasn't for Master Levi who was not out of the dangerous situation, this would be the perfect time for me to get the best destination." Chance."

Both parties eager for a war know in their hearts that they must rein in the precipice.Chief Ingram first looked away, and at the same time moved his right hand, which was faintly shining with fighting spirit, from the hilt of the saber.Sir Rodriguez also turned his head away afterwards, "Master Levi, someone is coming from the opposite side." He announced a little too much.

Li Wei glanced at the black-armored knight in some puzzlement, then nodded slowly, and turned his gaze back to the tall, thin man in a cardinal's robe and holding a sun-rayed scepter who rode out from the middle of the formation of two apologist knights. film.

"His Excellency Liviston, the Regent of the Kingdom of Arthur." Cardinal St. Bogdan tapped twice with his scepter as a greeting, and then deliberately made a solemn tone among the steel arrays facing each other, "Golden The sun has not yet risen, and the haze of night has descended on the earth. According to the usual practice, it should be time to recuperate. What happened, you didn’t even have time to wait until the dawn of tomorrow, so you led a large group of armed forces Coming to the camp of the allies in a menacing manner?"

The Dark Nightmare in the North snorted angrily, causing the white steed under Cardinal St. Bogdan to stagger back two steps, almost throwing the person on its back off.Li Wei hastily stretched out his right hand, stroked the spiral black horn on the forehead of the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory, in order to calm its emotions, and cleared his throat at the same time.

"Lord Cardinal St. Bogdan, I think Marquis Jeros and Master Sugard have already informed the members of the Shining Alliance of the incident before, do I need to repeat it here?" Although Li Wei's voice was not high, But it pierced through the howling night wind like a sharp knife, and slightly shook the solemn expression on Cardinal St. Bogdan's face.

"His Excellency Li Weiston, Regent of the Kingdom of Arthur, I believe you will not hide anything about being attacked by an inexplicable curse." Cardinal St. Bogdan slowed down his tone, trying to make his attitude appear impartial, "But The evidence provided by Marquis Geros and Master Sugard is not complete enough, at least not to prove that Thomas De Jansen, head of the Death Knights, is the mastermind behind those dark elves."

"Cardinal Bogdan, what did you just say——Thomad Jansen, head of the Death Knights?" The vigorous voice of the fire mage Master Juno Ameriste sounded from the other side, with a heavy and straightforward tone, "Please Pay attention to his name, the Knights of Death is one of the four major knights in the Kingdom of Arthur. Since the establishment of the kingdom, they have all belonged to the Magic Mountain family. The descendants will survive, but according to the law, the ownership of the Death Knights should belong to His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Arthur, so what qualifications does Tomade Jansen have to succeed as the head of the Death Knights?"

Cardinal St. Bogdan showed a somewhat embarrassed wry smile on his face, "This... this should be regarded as the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Arthur. I am afraid that the Shining Alliance has no right to interfere. After all, the second eastern county has supported another heir to the Kingdom of Arthur. King, so the ownership of the Death Knights..."

"So please don't interfere with the adults of the Glorious Alliance. As you said just now, this is the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Arthur." Li Wei interrupted impatiently. "Our actions tonight are by no means detrimental to the Glorious Alliance, but only aimed at the ghostly behavior of that Thomas De Jansen! If the adults of the Glorious Alliance have any doubts, please send representatives to follow us to the second eastern county. Let's camp."

Cardinal St. Bogdan frowned deeply. Li Weiston's words have indeed left him no excuse to evade.He certainly couldn't worsen the relationship between the Alliance of Glory and the new King Arthur's Court just because of defending Thomas De Jansen, so after a moment's hesitation, he nodded reluctantly.

"Brother Layton, and His Excellency Grand Duke Zandora of the Kingdom of Deldes, please invite the two representatives of the Shining Alliance to go and witness the answer of Lord Thomas Jansen."

Commander Layton of the Judgment Hammer Knights stroked his chest with his right hand, bowed deeply and said, "I am willing to obey, Brother Saint Bogdan."

But Grand Duke Zandora seemed a little hesitant. He looked at the heavily armed knights under the Griffon banner, and then at the expressionless face of Cardinal St. Bogdan, "If I... As for the witness representative of the alliance, how many knights should I bring with me?"

"Grand Duke Zandora, what are you talking about?" Chief Layton frowned in confusion, and his attitude seemed not very polite, "We are going to witness how Thomas Jansen answered His Excellency Leviston's question, Instead of deterring both sides by force, the entourage only needs a few dozen light cavalry."

"But...Let Lord Layton, if the two sides start a confrontation, our safety..." Grand Duke Zandora still looked embarrassed, and refused to move.

"Then pray to the Lord of Radiance, and hope that they will not engage in confrontation!" Let Leighton turn around like lightning, his eyes flashing with anger like flint in the twilight, "With all due respect, Zando Grand Duke La, if the two sides are fighting fiercely and you still want to ensure your own safety, I am afraid that even if you take half of the Guangyao Alliance there, you will not be able to ensure your own safety!"

It's hard to say whether the Lord of Glory's mercy has come to the pale Grand Duke Zandora, but until the team arrived in front of the camp in the second eastern county, it was still immersed in darkness, except for the people on both sides of the camp gate. Guards holding torches can be vaguely seen on the watchtower, and there are no signs of activity in the entire camp.

Sir Rodriguez and Chief Jean Leighton frowned almost at the same time. If Thomas Jansen was really the mastermind behind those dark elf assassins and priests, then the darkness in this camp seemed too abnormal.With the deep and deep palace that the lord with eyes has always shown, he should at least be prepared to fail.

"Master Levi, something seems wrong." Sir Rodriguez said in a low voice.

"It's really strange." Li Wei's eyes were shining with the strange light of probing skills, and his eyes penetrated through the barriers of the camp's outer fortifications, all the way to the center of the camp, "The camp in the second eastern county is too quiet. , The number of patrols is pitifully small. Although there are many soldiers in the camp, there are very few strong men worth noting. I even rarely see the existence of regular knights..."

The light in the eyes of Master Juno Anmerist, the fire wizard, suddenly flashed, dazzling like two miniature fireballs in the twilight, "Your Excellency the Regent, let's just go in!" He suggested in a fanatical tone, At the same time, he raised his hands, and the reddish flame elements began to condense above his head, "I only need a flame storm, and I can break open the gate of that camp."

"Please wait a moment, Master Merister." Levi stopped and said, "It's easy to break open the gate of the camp, but it's not a good thing to give someone a handle. Knight Glenn Worm, blow the horn and tell the people in the camp , The Griffon Knights are here!"

The Glenn Worm knight who was following Li Wei raised his fist and knocked on the breastplate, "Your Majesty, Li Wei!" Then he took out a beautifully shaped silver horn from his waist, and brought the end to his mouth. side.

Surprisingly, the camp in the second eastern county responded quickly. Just as the first high-pitched and passionate notes echoed in the dark sky, there was a burst of noise and chaos in the camp, and the light of the torches flickered in the camp. , and getting bigger and bigger, it seems that even some tents were set ablaze.

All the people who were listening attentively showed expressions of surprise and incomprehension, and looked at each other.The icy night wind was blowing head-on, bringing echoes from the camps of the two eastern counties. There seemed to be the sound of swords clashing, wooden shields and heavy hammers, iron boots trampling the ground, and horses panicking. There were hisses, bows and arrows whizzing through the air, as well as the screams, begging for life and cursing of the wounded.Even the guards on the watchtowers on both sides of the gate of the camp panicked. Someone wanted to rush down to stop them, but was blocked by their companions, and then pulled up on the watchtowers.

"Lord of Glory, Flandala, I seem to have heard that there is internal strife in the camp in the second eastern county?" Grand Duke Zandora wiped the sweat from his forehead with an embroidered handkerchief, blinking his eyes in confusion, " How is this possible? Is there something wrong with my ears?"

"There is absolutely no problem with your ears, because you are not the only one who hears these noisy voices." Commander Leighton shook his head, then raised his voice, trying to let his words be heard by Levi Stone. "Your Excellency King Regent Lee Weiston, it seems that there has been a commotion in the camp in the second eastern county. We should open the gate immediately to stop any tragedy that may happen!"

Just now, Master Merister, the fire mage who was advocating blasting the gate of the camp with flame magic, has completely changed his position now. "I'm afraid this is not good. Lord Layton, those people in the second eastern county do not recognize the authority of the new King Arthur's court and the regent Lord Li Weiston. What kind of stand should we use to stop them? Why don't we wait until this riot After it's over, go talk to those who can make decisions in the camp, shall we?"

Master Merister's words sparked a burst of laughter among the crowd, Iron Fist Knight Dragosson laughed especially loudly, the voice of the quick-tempered Riat was second only to him, and even Wilps, who was acting prudently, showed Approving smile.

Only Li Wei's face was serious. He thought about it for nearly a minute, until the laughter gradually subsided, and then he said carefully, "The people in power in the second eastern county have betrayed the orthodox kingship of the Kingdom of Arthur, but the people there are not like this. Forced by power, or blinded by lies, in short, you should not bear too much blame. Master Merister, please use fire magic to blow open the gate of the camp; Sir Rodriguez, Marquis Osiris, please lead the Griffon Knights The regiment enters the camp, we must suppress this riot!"
