The next day, after packing their bags, the envoys set out on their way again.

Old man Basil sat in the carriage as he had done yesterday.

It's not much away from Lancaster's destination, and it will certainly be there by this evening at the latest.

As for him, the core figure of the envoy group, the most important thing at the moment is to think carefully about what attitude he should take towards the city lord of Lancaster.

Is it to put on an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away from the beginning, and draw a good line in a business-like manner, or pretend to be enthusiastic, paralyze the other party at the same time, and set up the other party's old bottom?

As soon as these two thoughts popped into Old Man Basil's mind, he immediately dismissed them.

It is certainly not possible to put on a cold or even hostile attitude directly.

Although His Majesty the new Emperor will definitely find a target to set an example, if His Majesty does not choose Lancaster, then his actions are likely to mislead the Lord of Lancaster, making him mistakenly believe that he is also the target of the attack, although in a sense it is not wrong, after all, it is not time to push Lancaster City to the enemy's side, or worse, it may cause the army to fall into the embarrassment of the enemy.

When the time comes, no matter whether you win or lose, you will definitely not be able to escape the blame.

It's not a good idea to pretend to be affectionate, to know that the duties of these kings around you are not only to protect themselves, but also the most loyal eyeliner of His Majesty the new emperor, although this group of big-headed soldiers is outstanding in force but very brainy, even if they say that they are just fighting with the city lord of Lancaster, they will not believe it, and will tell the new emperor everything with oil and vinegar.

Although His Majesty the new emperor can see through his own purpose, but to be on the safe side, he still doesn't want to be classified into the chaos They may not know, but old people in the court like Basil have long sensed that the new emperor wants to eliminate all the unstable factors in the entire Valla Empire.

This includes, but is not limited to, the descendants of the principalities who were divided in the early days of the founding of the country, the great nobles who posed a certain threat to the royal family, the lords who did not listen to the dispatches, and the former ministers of Tiera......

The Lord of Lancaster occupies the latter two, and with the status of a commercial city that even the royal family covets, it is properly a target of purge, but it is not known in what order it will be in the order of the purge list.

Basil was able to live at such an age under the lord, and his personality was quite smooth and quick-witted, so he didn't want to have anything to do with the reservists of the rebellious party.

"Anyway, if Knight Monan is right, there are no strong warriors in the Lancaster City guards, so just let the knights give the Lancaster people a dismount, and then I will be a little more enthusiastic, and I should be able to leave a deeper impression."

Basil muttered to himself.

Before Old Man Basil could think of a better solution, he suddenly felt the carriage stop.

"Are we there yet?" The old man Basil lifted the curtains, and the expression on his face changed slightly: "But it doesn't look like there is a city in front of you." ”

"Lord Basil, someone is blocking our way."

Monan commanded the lone bird to approach the carriage, and his tone sounded strange.

The old man didn't think too much about it, opened the front door of the carriage, and saw who was blocking the way.

A tall, but not burly figure was standing in the middle of the road, seemingly confronting the other royal knights.

His outfit looked very rudimentary, but even so, he could still see the angular muscles through the old clothes on his body.

But the most striking thing is not the way the opponent dresses, or the single-edged weapon that is obviously much longer than a normal sword behind his back.

It's an ornament on his head.

It was a pink flounder hood.

The flounder's tail is facing upwards and its head is downward, and its two eyes on the same side of its body are like that staring at everyone present with the eyes of an incomparably pure dead fish.

At first glance, it looks as if the head of the person in front of you has been swallowed by a flounder.

"Who are you?" The old man Basil shouted to the other party from a distance of ten or so meters.

"A passing ...... Oh no, I'm sent by Lancaster City to meet the Royal Emissary Corps. ”

Pink Flounder replied honestly.

The content of what he said was very normal, but the appearance of the sand sculpture wearing the flounder hood was so surreal that it gave the impression that his words were also joking.

Even the old man Basil began to adjust his evaluation of the Lord of Lancaster in his heart, from 'a wise man who can make wise choices under the pressure of a large army and save a considerable part of his strength' to 'He can't be an idiot, right?' The emperor may have been more concerned about face and did not want to snatch things from the mentally retarded'......

Of course, Basil quickly drove this thought away.

The mentally retarded can't run a city like an iron bucket, and there is even a feeling of being unable to intervene in the imperial capital, and even the baron who almost tore his face and forcibly parachuted in died inexplicably in the slums, which makes many big people in the imperial capital feel tricky, and can only temporarily buy a small group of nobles who are not very important in Lancaster to slowly erode the interior.

In that case, there is only one reason why the other side would send such a guy, and that is undoubtedly a 'provocation'.

Thinking of this, a hint of understanding flashed in Old Man Basil's eyes.

I see, is the other party planning to use this seemingly tough attitude to test the attitude of my side in order to determine the meaning of the new emperor?

What a wonderful hand! Replaced by other inexperienced messengers, I am afraid that they have been confused by the other party's sand sculpture situation, so they can only let them lead the nose, and when they reach Lancaster, they will weaken the opponent by three points in momentum.

It's a pity that all of this has been seen through by the old man!

Old man Basil stroked his beard and whispered to Knight Monan beside him, "Is this the kid you mentioned earlier?" ”

"Absolutely not, that guy has the pride of a knight, it is impossible to wear such a funny hood......" Mo Nan looked at the flounder tail and fins that kept shaking, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching: "This is disrespectful to the opponent!" ”

"That's good."

The old man cleared his throat and said loudly: "Your Excellency's words are unfounded, and it is too unreasonable to want us to go with you; However, I have heard that General Lancaster's soldiers are extraordinary, so I might as well let my squires fight you to prove your truth! ”

The old man thought that the other party would refuse, after all, the army on Lancaster's side seemed to be really bad, and once the other party did this, it would naturally be his own side that took the initiative.

As a result, I didn't expect that the pink flounder actually pulled out the one he was carrying without hesitation
