While the festive atmosphere was still permeating everyone in the secular world, chaos arose in the small square outside Sharif Hatton Castle that ran counter to the spirit of the religious holiday. This is an intolerable act of barbarism, a malaise and a bestiality that must be severely rebuked and punished.

However, judging from the two factions that were at odds, it was the Spanish heavy arquebuses from the Caribbean islands that caused the confusion. The presence of the Spaniards' thermal weapons in the wrong place at the wrong time was bound to change the lives and perceptions of the people of the North.

Isabel walked in the open space between the two factions with her arms folded, her eyes surveying the group standing on the west side of the small square. After pondering for a moment, he immediately walked up to the person in charge and said sharply, "Peter, I was told that you had an armed fight because of arquebuses, didn't you?" ”

After the Duke's Palace was relocated to Sharif Hatton Castle, Isabel merged the two guards to put them under unified supervision. Simmons, one of the two former captains, remained in the position of captain, while Peter, the captain of the second guard, took on the role of vice-captain. To appease Peter's emotions, she suggested to the Duke of Richmond that Peter's annual gratuity be kept at the same level as Simmons's.

After Baldwin, Fast and others, who had known Peter for a long time, returned to the Duke's castle, Peter, as the vice-captain, naturally welcomed the old guys back with enthusiasm. However, while they were chatting, they got into an argument over the arquebus that appeared in the castle.

Peter and some of the Guards, who can be regarded as conservatives, spoke of the arquebus with contempt and disdain in tone and language. They believed that the arquebus, having completed the firing of the first projectile, simply could not withstand the attack of the enemy knights.

Fast and others, who had accepted the advanced idea of hot weapon warfare, certainly held a sneering attitude towards the conservative ideas of Peter and others. They told Peter and others that the musketeers would never fight alone when they entered the battlefield, but would fight in phalanxes according to the tactics of Professor Isabel.

The idea of phalanx warfare, which had been perfected and matured within the Spanish Army, was tantamount to suicide in the eyes of Peter and others. They believed that after dozens of musketeers had gathered together and fired the first shot, the enemy knights would rush over and kill the musketeers while they were reloading the second projectile.

How to solve such a question, Isabel Walton can quickly answer. However, Fast, who had little education, and the guards who had been to the Caribbean became a little speechless. In this way, conservative guards such as Peter were even more convinced that the arquebuses in the hands of Fast and others were a pile of rubbish.

The grumpy Fast and the young guards from Hall, Miller and others immediately confronted each other about why Isabel and them had to go to great lengths to ship hundreds of guns from the Caribbean to the north of England if arquebuses were waste.

Peter, who knew Isabel better, did not argue further, realizing that the noble lady who worked for the Duke must have her reasons for doing so. However, a young guard who did not know how to behave in the world and liked to be competitive said without thinking, "This is very simple, Your Excellency intends to boast to Your Highness that you have been to the Americas or the Caribbean, so as to be rewarded by Your Highness." ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the anger of Fast and others. As a result, the other dozen or so guards who supported Fast and the others planned to teach the arrogant young guards a hard lesson. Of course, the young defenders will not easily admit defeat, and pull in the vice-captain Peter and young partners of the same age to prepare to compete with Fast and others.

The two groups challenged each other and agreed to settle their dispute with weapons in a small square outside the premises. Seeing that a bloody clash was about to unfold between dozens of dukes' guards, Fast finally planned to report the armed dispute to Isabel first.

———————————

Vice Captain Peter looked up at Isabel and replied calmly, "Yes, Your Excellency." Well, not exactly because of arquebuses. ”

Isabel looked at him with some surprise, and then at some of the guards beside Peter, "Peter, tell me why." ”

As a Catholic, Peter did not dare to lie, let alone deceive Isabel, so he had to tell her the words of the young guard. Isabel pondered and smiled lightly, "Rewarded by His Highness?" Peter, where is this guy now? ”

Peter then led Isabel and gentleman Beard Smith to the young guard, who was talking wildly. Isabel looked at the young guard calmly, and suddenly turned her head to look at old Beard, "Gentleman, I suppose this guy probably doesn't know my identity and title, does he?" ”

So far, the Duke of Richmond's guard has more than 130 guards. Beard Smith, a gentleman who was a retainer of the Duke of Richmond, did not seem to remember the face of every attendant because he was so busy with all kinds of business every day. At this time, he hesitated and said cautiously, "I am sorry, Your Excellency, but Your Highness's castle always attracts the attention of many gentlemen, second sons and youngest sons from the family of gentlemen, yoman, and the keeper of the book, so I always forget the names and families of these remnants when I am busy with other affairs. ”

"Gentleman, no matter what, you still have to remember their names." Isabel kindly reminded the gentleman, then turned her gaze back to the young guard, "Hey, what's your name?" ”

"Your Excellency, my name is Enoch Dewey, and my father is a yoman from the village of Westerlylin."

"Well, Yoman's son. Enoch Dewey, do you know where your name came from? What does that mean? ”

"Your Excellency, my father told me that my name comes from the Bible, and that it means ......," said Enoch, who said again because he could no longer remember the meaning of his name.

Isabel looked at Wei Cong coldly, the corner of her mouth on the right side of her mouth turned slightly, and said, "Enoch, your father named you after the name in the Bible in the hope that you would understand the meaning of dedication. ”

Although Enoch did not understand the meaning of dedication, he still raised his own question, "Dedication? Sir, do you mean dedicated?! ”

"Enoch, in fact, your name has two more meanings, one for the beginning and the other for the mentor."

"Your Excellency, I... I don't understand. ”

Isabel raised her head to look at the guards standing near Enoch, sneered and continued to speak loudly: "Enoch, it is God who made your father choose the name 'Enoch' in the dark, and also made you the main messenger of today's chaos. ”
