The center of rule in a region of the empire, with only one castle;

The castle was used to manage the cities and villages under the rule of the Shock Guard;

Since the empire was ruled by both the emperor and the nobility;

The officials of the castle were also appointed by the emperor and the local nobles;

The emperor is in charge of the emperor, and the nobles are in charge of the nobility;

They generally do not interfere with each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the wall in front of the Governor's office at Jiang Castle hangs a metal seal carving a complete map of the southern part of the East 8th District;

Pushing the door in, there are two huge floor-to-ceiling glasses;

The glass blends well with the castle and doesn't look abrupt at all.

Outside the window, the scenery of the river is unobstructed;

Directly facing the river was a huge desk, but it was empty.

Right now, above the huge desk—

Four holograms of costumed figures rose at the same time.

The first is Fietu Mundi, a member of the Jiangcheng Capital Circle in the south of the East 8th District and the president of the Southern Comprehensive University;

the second is the knight of the Tiber River Lord in the southern part of the 8th East District, Bired Chika;

the third is Sir Alex Ferguson, Lord of Stone Ridge in the southern part of East 8th District;

The fourth is Kebin Tlos, a knight of the aristocratic troops of the Jiangcheng capital circle in the southern part of the East 8th District.

At the desk is a masked baron in a neat military uniform standing upright;

Behind the desk is the Governor of the Jiangcheng Capital Circle in a bloated uniform;

The Governor put his hands behind his back and looked out the window at the river.

Suddenly, the hologram on the desk becomes another photograph;

It is a few lines of words engraved by Zhou Yuan in Shiling Cuprite Cave with 'hope':

"The Human Resistance, Dawn Excalibur—"

"Kill Alex, Lord of Stone Ridge, the most heinous of all;"

"Execution of the most heinous Stone Ridge Lord, Berus;"

"Kill its lackeys, ghouls, 500. ”

.....

Just listen to the 'bang', a dull and loud crashing sound from the desk;

But it was just right enough not to be damaged.

However, the hand that struck the table was bruised, and its owner was extremely angry.

"This is a provocation!"

"This is a provocation to the majesty of the Empire, a provocation to Her Majesty the Empress!!"

"The Empire has lost a councillor, a knight, and two knights!!"

"Where is the face of the Empire—?"

"Where is the majesty of the Empress—?"

"Where is the glory of the nobility—?"

'Bang', 'Bang', 'Bang' three rhythmic taps;

At the same time, he issued three sonorous rhetorical questions.

"I'm so sorry!"

The masked baron put his white gloved right hand on his chest and gave a beautiful apology.

But that's not all.

"It's all you noble lords who don't do anything, and go your own way-"

"It's the result that there is no army and no way to enter the territory;"

"Cause the rogue to run around and harm the Quartet!"

"Hmph, if you cooperate sincerely, why is this happening?!"

"Why is this so!!"

......

In the large lord's office, the Masked Baron received another half-hour reprimand from the Doge;

At the last moment, the governor was able to see the dagger and reveal dry goods:

"Next time, I'll say next time—"

"For the security, prosperity and stability of the entire empire:"

"As the Governor, I must send my direct troops!"

"You have to have the right of way to the territory!"

The Masked Baron bowed gracefully again and said:

"I will convey your request to the Earl. ”

Then the Doge waved his hand, and the Masked Baron slowly withdrew from his office.

Soon, the Masked Baron appeared in the office of his boss, the Count, for the first time.

The earl has a territory, and there is a count's house;

But the earl was given the responsibility of administering the nobility locally;

They must 'assist' Her Majesty in administering the local nobility, even if it is not their own;

So he was moving to the castle to work.

The Count was still so cold, he listened to the Baron of the Mask relay the words of the Governor;

There didn't seem to be any waves, just a faint nod:

"Do you understand?"

"My subordinates understand—"

"Then you just do it. ”

"The subordinates will personally go out this time, and they will return with victory!"

......

The moment the Masked Baron bowed out of the room, and turned to go out the door;

The corners of his mouth curled up with a sinister expression.

Every time Zhou Yuan and his party eliminated a lord or knight;

And he put one of his own men in -- the agent.

Because his army pursued Zhou Yuan and his party all the way.

These agents are with the consent of Lord Earl;

After reporting to the Imperial Court, it is official.

And he, the Baron of the Mask, is the biggest beneficiary:

Get the territory!

Get a position of real power!

Gain power!

......

However, it would be better to have 'hope'!

'Hope' will add some possibilities to future plans.

The Masked Baron pinched his white gloves, and as he sat in his office, he exclaimed:

"Pass the knight Loren!"

"Hello!"

......

Knight Loren is always a knight's dress, a full set of knight's armor;

But in non-war times, it's really good to still play in front of your boss-

It's not an exaggeration to call it a dead brain;

"I heard that you fought a duel with Zhou Yuan, the most wanted criminal in the Empire?"

"And it's better than losing, and retreating back with the remnants of the defeated general?"

"......" the knight Loren remained silent.

The Masked Baron groaned for a while, and said:

"Then you should rest for a while while while you are unwell. ”

"Restoration matters, waiting for notice. ”

Loren, the "......." knight, remained silent, but he exited the room.

In this way, the Baron of the Mask once again easily took control of a position of real power.

It's really going well.

Today's knight Loren is a bit strange, though;

Unexpectedly calm, but not angry?

No matter!

......

Zhou Yuan and his party continued on the road, this time they were closer to their goal.

One more village is a secret harbor;

This is one of the Resistance's routes to Hope Island;

Through it, you can easily go directly to Hope Island.

Trek hard all the way, cutting through thorns and thorns;

It's finally here!

I don't know what my life will be like in the future?

While Zhou Yuan thought so, the team was also filled with a cheerful and relaxed mood.

Even the crisis of being intercepted by the Imperial army was survived by them with zero injuries;

What other difficulties could stump them?

However, after all, there are many people in the team.

Now is not the time for Zhou Yuan, Uncle, Xiao Luo, Ah Zi, and Xiao Hei to be four people and one cat;

There are hundreds of people in the team, and their logistical supply pressure is quite high.

But as a human being;

First of all, we have to solve the problem of water!

Ah Zi pointed to a line in the holographic projection and said:

"This is our location, this is the target village, and the two points are drawn in a line;"

"There's a lake here, and we're here to rehydrate. ”

She pointed to a point outside the line, which was near the middle of the line.

Everyone applauded in unison, and they all sent words of praise to Ah Zi.

Looking at the high-spirited A Zi, Xiao Luo lowered his head in shame;

She also wants to help her big brother!

But I'm always so useless.
