Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This is not the first time Grohan has been to Cantland, he has followed Overred many times, the most recent of which is probably in early autumn.
In front of the guards guarding the gates of Cantrandland, Groan familiarly showed the nameplate representing his identity, and after some verification, a group of guards who had already received the notice from above rushed over, so they quickly entered the bustling inner center of Cantland.
The streets of Cantlan are as bustling as ever, and the defeat on the front lines has not affected the people here at all, or rather, they are used to life as they are now, and their lives will remain the same without the trauma of the war.
Groan does not reject this kind of peace, although it is said that as a soldier must have a strong sense of crisis, but most of the people in Cantran are ordinary people, they are not soldiers, so there is no reason for him to make them like a soldier, and as a soldier, isn't his duty to protect the lives of the people in the territory?
Whenever they passed through the wide and smooth alleys, the people around them would subconsciously hide on both sides of the road, after all, no one would stupidly stand in the way of a cavalry team that looked good on the outside, especially if this cavalry team was still led by the Cantland City Guards.
Cantland is very big, the streets extend in all directions, but Gloan is no stranger to it, it turns out that when he came to Cantland with Ofred, Ofred likes to take him around in Cantland to appreciate the customs here, so he has a lot of imprints on the size of Cantland.
Gradually, an unnatural look of confusion and solemnity appeared on Groan's face.
Because he discovered something strange.
The direction they were heading towards was not the inner city of Cantland.
And the so-called inner city is the center of Cantland, and generally speaking, the inner city is inhabited by the rich and noble people of Cantland, and as the people invited by the Earl of Heather, the place where they should go correctly is the inner city, which is an indisputable thing.
But why didn't the guards lead them to the inner city?
So, he decided to ask the captain of the guard who was leading them forward.
"Why have we strayed from the direction of the inner city? Could it be that the Earl has changed the place where we are received? β
He said with a hint of speculation in his heart.
The captain of the guard was a middle-aged, ordinary man, and his expression was indifferent. Just like Xia Lan beside him, but that indifference is not a level in front of Xia Lan at all, Groan can question loudly in front of the captain of the guard, but he will be cautious when speaking in front of Xia Lan, so it forms a stark contrast, the gap between strength and status will really cause people to be treated differently.
"I'm just doing my duty, and I can't answer any other questions." The Captain of the Guard replied as indifferently as his face.
Old-fashioned, strict sΓΉ.
The captain of the guard formed this impression in Groan's mind in an instant.
He has seen a lot of this kind of person, so he knows the character of this kind of person very well, and if he continues to ask questions, it will only be boring for himself. So he especially hates these kinds of people. Although he knew that such people were generally good soldiers.
He wasn't worried about anything going wrong at Cantland. Especially Cantrand, where Lord Heather was in charge, so he had to keep his mouth shut and quietly wait for what kind of "surprise" the guards would bring them next.
As they went, they began to drift further and further away from the center of the crowd. The scene around them changed from bustling street merchants to empty and deserted dirt avenues, and Groan saw in his eyes, and he already knew in his heart about where they were going.
If nothing else, they are on their way to the barracks where the soldiers are stationed outside Cantrand.
Odd? Why did they take them to the barracks?
After this question came to his mind, Groan began to think carefully, and when his eyes caught glimpse of the taciturn Xia Lan beside him, he seemed to have a sudden sense of enlightenment.
Was it him?
Indeed, a high-ranking powerhouse of unknown origin is already fearful, and if he appears in the inner city with other intentions, he will burst into trouble. The impact of the results will be absolutely devastating.
But the barracks are different, at least the barracks can protect against the threat of a high-ranking powerhouse.
Thinking that after figuring out the connection, Groan's heart also relaxed and calmed down, just hoping that the other party would not have any dissatisfaction, otherwise the first person to be bad would be himself.
Long.
They appeared in front of and behind the blackened barracks. The captain of the guard stepped forward and said nothing to the soldiers guarding the barracks, and they were easily allowed to go.
The scene in the barracks was undoubtedly boring and simple, except for the black tents, there were military supplies everywhere, from small knives, guns, clubs, to urns, drums and ballistas, this scene Groan had seen too much, even more exaggerated than what was in front of him, but after a brief observation he lost interest.
It wasn't until they came to a camp site surrounded by a wooden fence and a corner that they finally stopped their progress.
There was a tall belvedere at the outer entrance of the camp, and two soldiers stood on the platform, one of them poking his head out to look at Groan and the others, his face was grim, and his eyes seemed to be as guarded as if he were looking at an inexplicable enemy.
Through the gaps in the wooden fence, you can occasionally glimpse rows of patrolling soldiers, and the air is mixed with the smell of slaughter, which shows that this should be a very important place in the barracks.
The captain of the guard who led them took on the task of communication again, and Groan did not hear the conversation between the other party and the camp guards, and not long after, the captain of the guard returned to the queue and spoke to Groan, "I have done my duty, and the rest will be taken over by the people here." β
With that, the captain of the guard left Groan's group with his men.
"It's a nuisance."
After Groan whispered a grumble, an officer at the gate of the camp came into their sight.
"Hello, in Lower Stun, I have come to receive you on the orders of Commander DeWitt."
The officer stood in front of him with his back straight, his expression solemn, but his tone was gentle.
"Hello, in Lower Groan."
After greeting the other party with a nod of his head, Groan's mind was momentarily attracted by the name of a certain person revealed in the other party's words.
"You're saying that it's Commander Devit who is in charge of receiving us right now?"
"Yes, Commander DeWitt has been waiting inside for a long time now." The officer said.
I didn't expect Lord Heather to dispatch Commander DeWitt, and it seems that something is not going well.
Gro thought about it with peace of mind, but said in his mouth: "I'm bothering you so much." β
As soon as the words fell, Groan prepared to follow the officer's guide into the heavily guarded camp, but after a few steps, he felt that something was wrong.
Turning his head, he was shocked to find that Xia Lan was actually standing motionless, looking like he didn't mean to move at all.
"Your Excellency, let's go."
So, he reminded softly.
Xia Lan didn't answer, just shook her head briefly.
"Your Excellency?!" Groan said with a puzzled look on his face.
"I'm not going in."
"Your Excellency, may I ask why?"
"Because there's a trap in there." (To be continued)
