Chapter 25: Conflict (2)

There were about fifty Kingdom soldiers in the inn, standing facing the direction of the staircase, and the members of the Seven Feathered Eagles lined up on the staircase, blocking the only access to the upper room, and the expressions on both sides were serious, and the whole hall was filled with a tense atmosphere that could fight at any moment.

"So, are you planning to shield the fugitives?" Standing at the forefront of the soldiers, the bearded man who was making eye contact with the adventurers shouted in a somewhat out of tune shrill voice.

"Chief Wallace, we didn't mean that, since she is a fugitive, can I ask her what crime she has committed?" Compared to Wallace's excitement, Anjief's tone seemed very calm.

"This ...... None of your business! Hand them over! Without a positive answer to Angelf's question, Wallace's somewhat angry attitude could not help but cast doubt on the veracity of the fugitive's claim.

As if sensing that Wallace's statement was inappropriate, the other man standing behind him coughed and added, "She is a servant of the lord's family and has stolen the lord's belongings!" So we need to bring it back for interrogation. ”

"Who are you?" Anjefu turned his gaze to the man who spoke.

"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm the captain of the garrison directly under the lord, my name is Kurumman!"

Kurumman? This name may sound familiar, could it be the guy I met last time in Gu'an Village?

"Mr. Carter!" Just as I was thinking like this, Ranjes noticed me standing in the doorway.

The soldiers' eyes followed Rangers' voice to the door, and when they saw me in full armor, they alertly rested their hands on the saber at their waists.

"Who? How did you get in? Wallace waved his hand, and a group of soldiers surrounded me.

Kuruman looked surprised when he saw me, and then moved a little timidly and hid among the soldiers, and sure enough, it was the guy.

"I don't want to get in trouble, I'm just living here," I said, holding up my hands to look harmless.

"Humph! Unrelated personnel go aside, don't get in the way of my case! ”

Although Wallace's arrogant commanding tone upset me, I nodded obediently and stood aside.

"So are you going to get out of the way?" Wallace refocused his attention on Angel and the others.

"Theft? When I found that girl, she was already dying, and naked, obviously being persecuted, and slandering her for stealing, so we are not so easy to deceive! Peter clenched his fists and took a step forward with fearless momentum.

"You, what do you want to do! Don't give me back yet! Wallace hurriedly rebuked in a stern tone, but anyone could see the panic in his heart at the moment, there was no soldier as he should be, and it seemed that he could not sit in this position because of his heroic performance on the battlefield.

"Peter!" Feeling that the situation would develop to the point where it was uncontrollable, Anjief hurriedly stepped forward to stop Peter, "I'm so sorry, Sir Wallace, Peter has no ill intentions. ”

"Hmph, take care of your teammates!" Feeling that the crisis was over, Wallace straightened his clothes and returned to his previous arrogance, "Captain Anjief, if you don't get out of the way, I will arrest you all in the name of obstructing official business!" ”

Wallace's patience had been exhausted, and he raised his arm as a signal that the soldiers had drawn their swords.

"It's up to you, let's try it!" Peter also showed the dagger at his waist, and the other team members behind him also entered the combat mode, they looked at Anjief and waited for the captain's nod.

The cold light of cold weapons reflected in the hall, and the conflict between the soldiers of the kingdom and the adventurers was on the verge of breaking out.

"Everyone, put away your weapons!" For such a tense atmosphere, Anjief still behaved quite calmly, "Sir Wallace, that girl is seriously injured, my team members are treating her, I am afraid that her life will be in danger if she is taken away now, if she dies, it will not be possible to carry out interrogation work, why don't you go back first, and when the treatment is completed, I will inform you?" ”

"Captain Anjev really likes to worry about it, we will carry out the treatment of fugitives, I must take her away today!"

"I'm afraid this is not moral, it is not in accordance with the law, right?"

"Huh?" Wallace laughed as if he had heard a joke when he heard the word law, "Law? Arresting the fugitive is the order of the lord, and the order of the lord is the law, Captain Anjief, you are a smart person, you should know the consequences of angering the lord, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and daughter. ”

Wallace looked at Angel with a cruel smile like a hunter looking at a prey that had fallen into a trap.

As far as the facts are concerned, Wallace's words hit Anjeve's soft underbelly and made his heart visibly shaken.

"Get that fugitive out of here!" On Wallace's orders, the soldiers began to rush to the stairs.

"Captain!" Peter looked anxiously at Anjief, who shook his head in silence.

The soldiers pushed away the adventurers standing on the stairs and rushed straight up.

"Despicable fellows," the adventurers whispered indignantly, and a smug smile appeared on Wallace and Kurumman's faces.

"When did that Delnis's words become law? Only the words of His Majesty the King are the law! Wallace, are you trying to rebel? Stop it all! ”

The loud voice came along with the sound of the door being pushed open, like a sudden cold wind that made the expression on Wallace's face instantly freeze. He turned his head with a somewhat stiff movement, and the figure that appeared in the door was the man who made his master, Lord Delnis, hated - the great general Balikaf.

The soldiers all stopped, although their direct supervisor was not Ballycalf, but Ballycalf enjoyed great prestige among the soldiers, and most of the soldiers respected him quite much, so his words made the soldiers want to obey from the bottom of their hearts.

"General, General," Wallace changed his previous arrogance and saluted Ballycalf respectfully.

"What's going on here?" Ballycalf asked with a disdainful glance at him.

"We are here to capture the fugitives on the orders of your lord......"

"Since I'm here, it's good to hand over the fugitives to me, you can go, and I'll interrogate." Without waiting for Wallace to finish, Ballycalf interrupted impatiently.

"General! This is a prisoner of the lord, so it's not good! Hearing that Ballycalf was going to keep the prisoner behind, Wallace became panicked and said in a half-pleading, half-threatening tone.

However, it is clear that Ballycalf is not afraid of Delnis's power.

"Your Excellency, your lordship, leave this kind of trivial matter to me, is there anything else hidden here?" Ballycalf looked at Wallace with eagle-sharp eyes that made him shudder.

"Ah, no, no, it's just a fugitive, and I don't bother the general, so I'd better hand it over to my subordinates for interrogation." Wallace still refuses to give up.

"Wallace, can't you trust General Ben? You can go! ”

Under Ballycalf's reprimand, Wallace could only flee with his men in a huff.

"Ballycalf, why are you here?" Anjef let out a long sigh of surprise, a look of surprise and delight.

"Just cleared the east of the forest of monsters, so I'm here to resupply the city," Ballycalf smiled lightly, and then turned to me, "See you again, Mr. Carter." ”

"What a coincidence, General Balikaf," I nodded to him amicably.

"Do you know each other?" Anjefu looked a little surprised.

"Well, he's the lifesaver of that Lankan kid."

"No, no, it's just mutual assistance." I waved my hand modestly.

"Father, were you calling me just now?" At this time, Lanka also walked in, and after seeing me, he showed a moment of hesitation, and then asked in an excited tone, "You are Mr. Carter, right?" Did you change your mask? ”

That's when I remembered that I had already changed my mask, and I was really lucky that Ballycalf could recognize it at a glance, but there shouldn't be many people dressed like me, but it's normal to be recognized by changing a mask.

"Ah, Lanka, how are you doing?"

"I met you here, you must instruct me in martial arts this time."

"Haha, I know, I know."

While I was chatting with Lanka, Ballykaf also asked Anjief, "So, what is the situation with the fugitive that Wallace just talked about?" ”

Although Wallace was dismissed, Ballykaf still had no idea about the situation.

"Ah, that's how it is......" Anjef asked Ballycalf to sit down in a bunch of chairs, and began to explain the cause and effect of the incident.
