Chapter 393: The Day the Rumors Arrived
The soldiers were to make a detour south of the City of Honor, and Glori didn't have to stop. In a curtain of flames that had not been lowered for a long time, Glori arrived at the Village of Happiness.
The village is also suffocatingly chaotic. In addition to the rumors, it is the people who are running.
There are also some people who are busy carrying food. People sweat when they put things in sacks or barrels and carry them onto wagons or carts.
No one really wants to ignore the strangers. If Glori gets close, they will run away as if they had bumped into a ghost at night. Some people simply ran home and locked the wooden door from the inside. There are also people who will say hello to Glori. However, many more people were kind enough to persuade Glori to leave the village and take refuge.
After many inquiries, Glori still couldn't find a place to stay. Looking at Fiona with a tired face, Glori must find a place to rest. A day and a night had already passed, and the early morning of April 30 also came when we arrived at Xingfu Village.
People's vigilance, but still the same.
I had no choice but to go with Fiona to the north of Happiness Village. The wind is a little cool. Staying in the forest is undoubtedly challenging the power of nature.
As he left the village, Glori sought out the villagers. Although I didn't get heavy clothes, a few linen blankets were enough. Glori, confident that he and Fiona will survive the cold in the woods.
Just out of habit, Glori still found a few flints along the riverbank. If only the truth of the matter could be as simple as finding a flintstone, then Glori wouldn't have to have a headache.
It's just a headache, and it's fine.
Quite different from the expected time to get the news, Glori didn't expect to spend a whole month in the woods. As a result, there is a small tree house in the woods. And June 3 was the day when Glori got the exact news.
Brushing aside the fire in the sand and roasting the last flames, Glori analyzed the impact of the news.
According to one of the villagers, the news was obtained from the soldiers guarding the City of Honor. To Glori's amusement, the news of Silver's attack on Honor City turned out to be a real event. And Silver's reputation can be regarded as a mess.
As a result, Glori believes that if Silver attacks the City of Honor, he should control the situation instead of making a mess of it. Further, someone designed Silver.
Perhaps, Wuver intends to part ways with Silver. However, according to common sense, Wolfer would fear Silver because of his weakness and rely on Silver, rather than offending Silver as something that could be done with swagger. Moreover, the rumors were indeed false, as Glori personally received the truth from the fleeing soldiers.
Absolute......
It is rumored that it must not be the divisive plan of the city lord of Honor City. Who, then, persuaded Wolfer to turn away from Silver?
Hausman?
Of course, it can't be Glenn.
In retrospect, Glori did not see Hausman at all in the camp of the Wolfer Legion. Moreover, Hausman was the one who was eager to bring Glori down. The hatred was so deep, how could Haussman not show up? Even if it was Wuver, didn't he want to kill Glori with poisoned wine?
Thinking about it a little more, Wuver is not the kind of person who can follow Hausman's command, just because Hausman does not rely on his own ability to obtain the title of high-level magic swordsman - in the face of a person who lacks ability and likes to go through the back door, Wuver will not stupidly listen to advice.
Glori, wondering.
However, another piece of news is that Silver's first round of attack on Emerald City went well. Although it did not take the Emerald City, it also made the fortifications of the Emerald City an ornament. The lord of the Emerald City, on the other hand, asked the King of Order for support. As for the support of the Lord of Order, it came first from the City of Honor, and secondly from the town of Wanyue far north of the Emerald Forest.
It's a pity that when Emerald City was attacked that day, Honor City was among them.
Things seem to be just by chance.
Is that really the case?
It stands to reason that Wolfer's actions should have been guided by Silver's orders.
It seems that the reason why Silver ordered Wuver to attack the City of Honor in advance was to contain the legions of the City of Honor. So, what's the deal with discrediting Silver's reputation?
The question seems to go back to the beginning, about who persuaded Wolfer to attack the City of Honor by night with a flaming trebuchet and borrow Silver's name.
Could that be Mr. Short?
If things are as complicated as they seem, then Mr. Short is ready to storm the city with a flaming trebuchet. Whoever tries to persuade him, Mr. Short will let the siege order be carried out to the end. Following this line of thought, Glori deduced the reason why Mr. Short had let the legion retreat.
It's just a feint.
As long as the news of Silver's siege can spread, the ultimate goal will be achieved. And Mr. Short is the one who has the ability to get the Legion out - from the news, Glori also learned that there are not many attackers who have lost in the City of Honor. 168 Books
Now, Silver may be going to fight Wolfer. And Wolfer, too, had to listen to Mr. Short, parted ways with Silver, and became the master who really did not need to rely on other forces - Wolfer was the one who wanted to become the king of Norton.
Heh, is Mr. Short championing Wolfer?
Whether it was Wolfer's legion or not, whether it was a feint or not, Glori had to confirm it himself. It's not okay to just listen to rumors and infer from them. Early in the morning, together with Fiona, Glori passed through the Happy Village and headed directly to the City of Honor.
Armed with the passage papers they had made earlier when they entered the City of Honor, Glori and Fiona were again subjected to interrogation at the North Gate. There was no disguise, no sword, only a basket on his back, and Glori was cold in his sackcloth clothes.
Fiona, it's a little better. Wearing Glori's cape, plus her own, Fiona wasn't cold at all. Fiona was clever and had long seen that Glori was cold, so she didn't say it, didn't ask, and snickered. And Glori, who obviously wanted to tremble, held back and moved his steps from time to time.
I stood in front of the city gate for a long time, but the investigation was still ongoing.
What Glorry couldn't bear in particular was that he was asked to wait for the nobles to finish moving the boxes.
The chests were carried out of the city gates by the guards one by one. The gate was so big, and it wasn't just Glori and Fiona who were waiting. Glori, looking at the people waiting. Most of them are dressed in coarse clothing. Sometimes, Glori could hear someone whispering curses at God.
The man was dressed in two identical linen clothes. One hand carries an extinguished oil lamp, while the other holds a child. Children, in swaddling clothes, squeaky and trying to learn to speak, are really cute.
Shaking his numb arm, the man said, "Damn, these officials are as cold as God." Lo and behold, the wind is blowing again. And we have to wait for the people who have the problem to finish the business at hand before we can enter the city!"
If you go up, it's a slap in the face.
Officials, the person who was beaten so that the child fell directly to the side of the road - and the person who was beaten was still a man in his thirties.
The guard on the east side of the north of the city can be regarded as saving face for the nobles who carry things, but he caused a sigh.
Glori, endure and endure. For a split second, Glori was about to help. At the very least, the child must not be allowed to fall! Even if the swaddling clothes are fine, Glori's heart that worries about the swaddling clothes slipping does not fall.
Well, some bad-hearted guards are bullying a man with a soft underbelly. Moreover, some people were asked to pay for the ridiculous things of the aristocracy and queue up. Things can't go on like this!
In the end, Glori still accosted the guards, and even made his speech so fast that he was slurred because of his anger: "Officials, have you dealt with the last battlefield?"
Seeing Glori glancing at the fallen man, the guard looked unreasonable, and reluctantly opened his mouth: "Of course, several of my brothers are also present!"
"So, do you know how many people attacked the City of Honor?"
Glori knew it wasn't good to be so direct. However, Glori could only ask.
Glori didn't want to wait too long. Glori asked, glancing at the man who hadn't gotten up yet. And the infant child was also crying. Some watched coldly, some frowned, and some looked pity. In short, Glori couldn't stand to watch a man with a baby in his arms get knocked down.
Moreover, the one who falls to the ground is already a father, and of course knows how to protect his beloved. How could he dare to anger the guards if it weren't for the sake of the infant child?, however, how reckless it seemed to the man who had fallen to the ground—an act of bravery that had led to something that had almost hit the ground.
After all, it's not the people who are knocked down, it's the harsh guards who make things worse.
For the sake of something important, Glori forcibly suppressed his anger. Anger has become a ghost wandering in the heart. The guard, on the other hand, lifted Glori's collar when he saw him look at the fallen man again.
Even though he was pulled by the neckline, Glori did not forget to remind Fiona with his eyes. Finding Fiona silent, Glori was relieved.
Pulled by the neckline, Glori was dragged to the inside of the city gate to the east.
So, Glori knew he couldn't get the answers he wanted from the guards. In lieu of answers, wait until the guards tell you who will be able to speak at the gates.
The first punch was immediately sent by the city gate guards.
Stretching out his left hand, Glori caught it steadily. With a forward punch and a push, Glori sent the guard back as his wrist was bent back. With such force that Glori watched as the guard leaned to the right and bent his right leg. In order to make the guards more honest, Glori used a slight momentary force. The guard, on the other hand, bent his legs and held the ground with his left hand.
Then, Glori snorted.
"In April's battle, did you repel the attackers of Honor City, or did they withdraw from the city on their own initiative?"
"We ...... No, they withdrew from the city!"
The man who spoke was a guard who came from the west side of the city gate, but he immediately became a beggar for mercy.
At this moment, both guards are bending their legs. The difference is that the guard on the west side is facing away from Glorry, and his right fist is being screwed behind Glorry's back.
