Chapter 13: The Domineering Castle Lord

"Is it true that the princess is still alive?"

"Has anyone seen the body of Her Royal Highness?"

"Could it be that Lord Carroll is lying to us......"

The Knights were in an uproar, speculating whether the princess was dead or alive?

After all, it was Carol who had been talking about the princess being attacked and killed by orcs, but no one in the knights present had seen the princess's corpse with their own eyes.

"Don't listen to this little bastard's nonsense, Princess Leah is out of breath, how can she come back to life?"

"Lord Carroll, how do you know that Princess Leah is out of breath?" Gladstone asked, "Could it be that you were also involved in the plot to murder Princess Leah?"

"Fart, how dare I have bad thoughts about Venerable Princess Leah?"

Carol realized that she had just said the wrong thing, and hurriedly found a topic to prevaricate.

"So, what about the princess's body, and if you don't see the body, how can you judge that Your Highness is dead?"

Gladstone stopped his horse at Carol's side, leaned in and reminded him in a low voice: "You know this, I know, God knows, and I don't deliberately hide it, if you withdraw the army, I will not know, and I will not report this matter to the king and the council."

If you insist on getting past the Mitchell Line, I'm sure you'll pay a heavy price. ”

"What can you do to me? Can you still eat me?"

"Draw your sword and defend the majesty of the King and the Pope, but anyone who crosses the Mitchell Line will be killed!" Gladstone drew his sword and stuck it across the ground, "Use this sword as a boundary, retreat!"

"Dare to threaten me? Is it really intimidating that Carol is scared? Can a few hundred guards stop the 20,000 elite knights behind me?"

A knight with a sword hurriedly came to report, "Commander, something happened, the Star City was surrounded by a large number of silver-armored knights, and according to rough statistics, the number of people was guaranteed to be 50,000. ”

"Heh, it's really interesting, for a girl's film, as for the whole city's strength to fight with me?"

50,000 knights, this is almost the entire force of Petersburg.

"As for Princess Leah, all the sacrifices are worth it. The corners of Gladstone's mouth trembled slightly, "If I can, these three hundred guard knights are also willing to accompany me to fight to the death." ”

"Don't say such high-sounding words, I really want to vomit when I hear it. ”

Carol looked at the northern end of Mitchell's line, the desert behind the woods was full of smoke and dust, and the orcs must have prepared to defend themselves.

At this time, morale was weakened, and a rash attack could not take advantage.

"Count you ruthless, I'll withdraw! But please remember, I'm not afraid of you, how can I Carol be afraid of you Gladstone? I just don't want to start a civil war and let the orcs take advantage of it. ”

The mobilization of heavy troops by the two major castles is not a trivial matter that can be concealed, and it is impossible for the royal city not to hear the movement.

Gladstone called the historian and greeted: "Remember, on April 26, the actual combat exercises in Petersburg and the Astrological City were successfully concluded. ”

"Little brother, according to the previous agreement between the two clans, the knights of the Monty Kingdom are not allowed to cross the military demarcation line, so you can negotiate with the orc clan on my behalf, no matter what harsh conditions the other party offers, you can consider it. ”

"Understood!" Chen Feng carried the white flag, crossed the defensive line, and walked towards the territory of the orc clan.

"Isn't this the spy who was locked up in the cave? "Why did you run away?" Satan kicked at the orc beside him, "It's useless, even a human can't look at it." ”

"Chief, I have come to negotiate on behalf of the Lord of Gladstone, hoping to get Princess Leah back. ”

"Do you still want to go back to the fat meat that was delivered to your mouth?" Satan wants to use Princess Leah as a bargaining chip to exchange the Monty Kingdom for the fertile coastal plains.

Therefore, it is impossible to return the princess easily with just a few words.

"As I just said, it's a negotiation, and you can make any conditions. ”

"I want Princess Leah, unless I trade it for Laika Town. ”

Satan is not stupid either, and wants to reclaim all the plains that have been encroached upon at once, which is obviously unrealistic, so he just needs to go back to Laika Town.

"It is said that this Mitchell defense line is not only against the Knights, but also against the orcs, if you want Laika Town, you must cross the line, then don't you break the agreement first? ”

Chen Feng explained that when it comes to national territorial issues, even Gladstone has no right to trade.

If you exchange it for an item, it will be relatively easy.

"This ...... What you say seems to make a lot of sense. Satan touched his head, "What can I do? ”

"It can be discounted into commodities, such as weapons and food. "Chen Feng knew that orcs lacked these two things the most.

For now, this is more important than territory.

"Just do as he says, and return the princess as soon as possible, to avoid the outbreak of war." Several old men supported Princess Leah and walked towards her.

In the orc system, the elders are generally the previous leaders and prominent orcs, who have the power to veto the unreasonable decisions made by the current leader of the tribe.

"Elders, send it back like this? ”

Satan is obviously reluctant, but the elders still have to give face.

"Symbolically change something, but don't go too far. ”

The orcs pushed forward, stopping on the north side of the Mitchell Line, facing the Silver Knights across the line, and the Elder entrusted Princess Leia to Chen Feng, who had come to negotiate.

"It's all agreed, they need weapons and food. Chen Feng hugged Liya and crossed the defensive line.

"Leave all swords and dry food to the orcs. ”

After Gladstone picked up the princess, he did not go against the promise and left, but ordered the knight of the guard to throw his sword and food at the north side of Mitchell's line.

"Send Her Royal Highness back to Laika Town to rest. ”

The Knights of the Silver Armor turned around and forcibly stormed the town of Laika, and all officials were hanged for treason.

As for Mayor Laika, he has a collateral bloodline of the Carol family, and is considered half a nobleman, and according to the laws of the Monty Kingdom, no one can pronounce the death penalty on nobles except the Pope.

"Lord Gladstone, you can't help but attack the town of Laika, kill the officers and soldiers, and capture the nobles, if this matter reaches the royal city, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

In front of Gladstone, Mayor Laika didn't act nervous.

He knew that the higher the rank, the more he knew how to uphold the authority of the law.

A lord of a large castle like Gladstone, with his noble status and prominent position, could not have broken the law in order to vent his anger, and at most would only escort him back to the Holy Temple to be judged by the Pope.

And the pope would carefully consider his nobility and replace the death penalty with exile.

"I don't think you've misunderstood something? I'm not arresting nobles, but traitors who colluded with the orcs to murder Her Highness. Gladstone drew his sword, and the cold light flashed by, severing Mayor Laika's head.

The glorious palace of Laika Town was subsequently demolished, leaving only an attic to distribute all the belongings to the townspeople.
