"Just at the gate of the city, the guards caught a knight suspected of being of the Carol clan, and found this amethyst necklace from him, I saw that it was crystal clear and very precious, so I hurriedly sent it to the city lord, and the temperament of the lady must be very compatible. ”

After snatching the necklace, General Dika did not keep it for himself, but hurriedly gave it to the lord of the city.

"This kind of necklace is all over your sister-in-law's closet, you don't need it, you should give it to the girl you like." ”

Gladstone was busy checking the approval without raising his head, and the news from the front had just arrived, saying that Carroll had mobilized 20,000 elite knights from Star City overnight to conduct military exercises on the Mitchell Line.

It may not be as simple as it seems, but at the moment Gladstone is unclear about Carroll's true intentions.

We can only wait, wait for him to be exposed, and then we can take further measures.

"Then I'll keep it for myself. Decca reached for the necklace back.

"Wait!" Gladstone stopped him and snatched the amethyst necklace away, his face suddenly became very serious, and he trembled and roared, "Where did this necklace come from?"

"City Lord, there is ...... Is there a problem? I just told you about the necklace, I searched it from the Carol knight. "Decca was stunned, had never seen Gladstone lose control of his emotions like this?

"Where is that knight now? I'm going to interrogate him myself. ”

Gladstone put on his armor, picked up the sword on the wall, and commanded the squire at the door, "Tell the Knights of the Guardian of the City Lord's Mansion to assemble and standby." ”

"He's being imprisoned in the water prison south of the city! Don't be impatient, city lord, I'll send someone to escort him over. ”

I don't know why, but looking at Gladstone's overreaction, it seems that the problem is serious.

"I can't wait, lead the way, let's go straight to the water prison. ”

The prison door was opened, and two guards fished Chen Feng out of the dirty water with barbs.

"Tell me, where did you get the necklace? stole it, or did you pick it up?" Gladstone pulled out his sword and put it on Chen Feng's neck, "If you dare to tell a half-lie, I will kill you." ”

"This necklace is a personal token given to me by Princess Leia, and it is she who asked me to inform Lord Gladstone of the situation in the Mitchell Line. ”

"When death is on the verge of death, you dare to talk nonsense, if Princess Leah goes to the Mitchell Line, then why haven't we even received any news?" Dika interrupted Chen Feng's words.

"It's true, everything I said is true, Princess Leah secretly patrolled the Mitchell fortifications on behalf of King Monty, and it's normal for you not to know. Chen Feng tried his best to argue.

"He's right, this necklace is a full moon gift from me to Princess Leah, she has not taken it off for sixteen years, and if it were not for the danger to her life, she would never have given it to outsiders easily. ”

Gladstone put away his sword and said solemnly: "I am Gladstone, the lord of Petersburg, is Her Royal Highness the princess okay at the moment?"

"It's safe for now. ”

"For now?" Gladstone's face froze.

"She's now being held in the orc's lair......"

"What a presumptuous, the orcs dare to imprison our noble princess, do they want to tear up the peace treaty?"

"Dika, don't interject, let this little brother explain everything clearly. Gladstone stopped Dika and told him to calm down.

"Time is pressing, I will only pick out the main point, it was Carol who sent people to attack the Golden Knights, sent the princess and the guard knights to the territory of the Li tribe, blamed them for this incident, and tried to provoke a war between the two tribes, Princess Leah hopes that you can send troops to stop it. ”

"I see, I'll take care of the rest. ”

Gladstone waved behind him and called for his attendant, "Prepare the wine and meat for this little brother, and then change him into clean clothes." ”

After leaving the Seungeon in the south of the city, Gladstone returned to the sand table to discuss countermeasures with Decca.

"City lord, shall we report to the king first, after all, the princess's distress is not a trivial matter. ”

"From Petersburg to the Intramuros, five days were wasted. ”

Gladstone planted a flag in the sand table and instructed: "Dika, you personally led the 50,000 silver knights of the southeast battalion, under the guise of training recruits, in the plain fifty miles away from the Star City, once the signal sounds, surround the Star City, and I will carry it around if something happens." ”

"City Lord, what about you?"

"I led three hundred knights of the Guard to the Mitchell Line, Her Royal Highness the Princess is in danger at the moment, and I will not allow a moment of delay. ”

"Let your subordinates go instead of you, Carol is not a good guy, he is so shameless that even the princess dares to plot, he still has 20,000 elites in the Mitchell defense line, and you only bring 300 guard knights......"

"I'm the only one who can hold Carol at the moment. ”

Decca was about to argue, but was stopped by Gladstone, "Your mission is also important, be sure to bluff the defenders of the Star City." ”

"Let the little brother lead the way, and the Knights of the Escort will follow me, to the Mitchell Line. ”

Three hundred knights, opening the road on both sides, rushed to the destination under the stars.

......

In Mitchell's southern defensive line, the Black and Gold Knights launched an offensive formation, shouting and killing, one after another.

"The Orcs, treacherous, violating the peace treaty, brutally murdering Her Highness Leah and her Guardian Knights, the means are extremely despicable, today I, Carol, will represent the royal family of Monty and the Holy Temple, exterminate the Li tribe, avenge Princess Leia, and maintain the majesty of the Monty Kingdom. ”

Carol was mobilizing before the war, and Princess Leah's death legitimized the plan to invade the orcs, and by the way, it could also inspire the fighting spirit of the Knights.

"Brothers of the orc clan, take up your weapons and fight and drive the invaders out of our homeland!"

The horn sounded, and the forest at the northern end of the line was crowded, and the orcs were also ready for battle.

The big war is on the verge of breaking out!

"Stop me!"

A team of Silver Knights, interspersed with the Black and Gold Knights, stopped them outside the Mitchell Line.

Gladstone raised his sword and shouted, "See this line, its name is the Mitchell Line, and it is a military demarcation line that you are not allowed to cross by the double honor of the Pope and the King, and if you step on the Mitchell Line, it is equivalent to stepping on the face of the King and the Pope." ”

"Gladstone, you don't retire in Petersburg, why are you here to join in the fun?" Carroll was a little impatient, and the anger that had just been fanned by Gladstone's words was extinguished.

"Don't listen to Gladstone, knights, raise your sword and follow me across the line to avenge your royal highness!"

"Princess Leah, she's still alive......"

The hatred incited by Carol was extinguished by Chen Feng's words before it lasted two seconds.
