In the past two days, an alarming piece of news has been spreading from the northern part of the empire to the imperial capital.

A terrifying team of paladins is marching towards the imperial capital.

Along the way, the team continued to grow, from the initial more than 30 people, and soon gathered more than 60 people.

Moreover, these people are all in the prime of life, and they are generally in their thirties, which is the year of fighting.

Many people don't understand why these paladins, who were supposed to enjoy the status of officers in the legion, have been hidden in all corners of the empire all these years.

These paladins were all dressed in silver-white armor, and on the breastplate on their backs was a roaring lion head.

Some of the older veterans recognized it as the insignia of the Lion Knights, but the armor they wore was many years old, a far cry from what the Legion uses today.

On the business road, an old merchant who was in a hurry saw the army of paladins galloping in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "I didn't expect to see them after so many years." ”

A young merchant beside him couldn't help but quip, "Old lame, don't pretend here, they're all paladins!

For a while, there was a lot of laughter and echoing voices around him, and he didn't believe that the old merchant really knew the army of paladins passing by.

But the old merchant said, "You young people have no idea how dangerous the real battlefield is. You always call me lame, so do you know how my left leg became lame? I was lame on the battlefield more than ten years ago!"

Where would those young businessmen believe this? Naturally, a dozen of them were sour and sour.

The old lame man suddenly became anxious, blushed, and raised his voice and shouted, "Don't believe it, I drank with the head of the Lion Knights back then! ”

The news of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the imperial capital has not yet spread throughout the empire, so for now, many people still regard Aofeng Green as a nobleman.

As soon as they heard the old lame man talk more and more outrageous, everyone was a little too lazy to pay attention to him.

But at this moment, one of the young merchants pointed into the distance and shouted, "Look!"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, but they saw that the paladin army, which was originally rushing to the south, suddenly stopped.

The leader of the leader behind him "feathered" wings flapped hard, and the whole person drew an extremely beautiful arc in the air, and fell lightly in front of the caravan.

Those young merchants were all silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound at all, after all, in front of the paladin, they ordinary people were too weak.

But there was only the old lame man, and there was only respect in his eyes, but there was no fear.

"Wesley, I recognize you, is your left leg okay?" asked the knight who took the lead.

The lame man's lips twitched slightly, and he gave an extremely standard military salute to the knight in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Deputy Commander Aofeng, I didn't expect that you still know such a small person as me. ”

Ao Feng smiled freely: "All the soldiers who worked hard for the legion back then are worthy of my respect. What's more, you let your left leg be seriously injured in order to save a good brother, and then you fell into the root of lameness. ”

Wesley's eyes were red, and he had thousands of words to say in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, and in the end he could only turn into two cloudy tears and a helpless sigh.

The other young merchants, seeing that the old cripple was really an old acquaintance with this Aofeng Paladin, they all looked incredulous.

Who would have thought that the old businessman, whom they had always called the old lame, would also be a hero of the Imperial Legion.

After stopping for a while, Ao Feng quickly said goodbye to the caravan, returned to the large group, and continued to rush in the direction of the imperial capital.

Wesley looked at the departing back of the Knights, and said to the young merchants beside him: "You have all seen it, that is the former deputy head of the Lion Knights-Aofeng Green, as a general, you must have the same temperament and strength as him! This is what a real imperial general should look like, but it is not comparable to the current officers who climb up by slapping their whiskers!"

The young merchants looked at each other, as if they had not yet come to their senses.

Ao Feng led such a terrifying team that could almost threaten the rule of the empire, and crossed most of the empire with such fanfare, such a formation is not insignificant.

But as Ao Feng said, he went to save his son, so why did he need to be secret? What he did was what a father should do and must do.

In that year, Ao Feng refused the dukedom reward, and left the legion directly, choosing to retire.

At that time, many people couldn't understand his choice, and Ao Feng offended the royal family of the empire because of it, and those people thought that this was Ao Feng humiliating them, an insult to the royal face.

Therefore, after Ao Feng made such a decision, the royal family did not hesitate to stand up and accuse him of arrogance and rampant.

But just such a move offended the entire Lion Knights at once, and almost overnight, more than half of the paladins of the Lion Knights chose to leave the Imperial Legion, follow in the footsteps of Ao Feng, and choose to go into hiding.

Moreover, these people are often bachelors who have no relatives and no reason, and they are all a group of elites recruited by Ao Feng when he was in office, and many of them owe Ao Feng's life. So there is no need to say much about the heartfelt heart of this group of people for Aofeng.

At that time, the repercussions of this incident were so loud that it shocked the entire empire.

In order to save his face, the royal family will naturally charge these people with some rebellion, but the royal family does not dare to arrest these people seriously, after all, they were all heroes who saved the Garneman Empire.

Therefore, at that time, this matter was basically thunder and rain, and it was revealed.

For such a terrifying team of knights, it naturally quickly attracted the attention of the spies of the Imperial Military Intelligence Department, and they immediately transmitted the news back to the imperial capital.

At this time, in the Cathedral of the Light, Robert was standing respectfully beside Earls.

"Father, that kid has been tortured and still refuses to hand over the dragon inheritance, which is indeed a bit difficult. When Robert spoke, he was somewhat apprehensive.

Robert has always been respectful and afraid of his father, and he has felt that his father has not smiled at him since he was a child, but he welcomes outsiders with a smile.

Robert had never been able to see what was going on in his father's mind.
