Major Thomas temporarily distanced himself from Locke, leaving him alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Around him, the Grand Court, dressed in red, ruled that the soldiers, intentionally or not, observed his movements. This made Locke's heart even more suffocating.

How?

So go back to trial? Or take the soldiers with the escort and turn back to Eva? If they wanted to go back, they couldn't stop themselves.

It's just that if he really does this, then it will make the Great Lord Mograini feel cold, after all, he was cultivated by them.

Their own betrayal will be a huge blow for them. Moreover, the attitude of the soldiers is really hard to say.

Alas, I did violate the discipline of the army by doing so, and I can't blame anyone else.

And if I don't, the Crusaders will lose the opportunity and end up falling behind, just like in history.

It's just that the horizontal and vertical are all for the better development of the Crusaders.

Come to think of it, it won't be too serious.

"Hey, why are you here alone?" Bridget chased after the group with an excited Dalyan.

"What happened to them? Your new guard? She pointed to the adjudicating soldiers around her and asked, "How do I see them as soldiers of the Grand Court?" ”

Dalyan took over, "Sister Bridget, they're the soldiers of the Grand Court, and they're here to keep Locke safe. ”

Dalyan shook his short red hair and grinned, "I heard Attorney Ethanlien say that he sent these soldiers. ”

Are you afraid that you won't be able to stand this grievance and run away in a rage? Locke secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

When he came out this time, he really didn't bring a non-commissioned officer of the guard company to escort him, and he was accompanied by 1,000 soldiers of the cavalry and infantry wing.

The strength of these adjudicators is enough to act as their own guards. And Ethanlien must have sent them with deep meaning, so let's wait and see what happens.

"Locke, you haven't told me where you got so much food and so much armament," Dalyan asked excitedly as he walked beside Locke, "I didn't expect you to be better off over there than we are!" ”

"That's a long story." Locke smiled and said, "If you want to hear it, you have to clean your ears." ”

"Okay! I'm ready! ”

"That day, we left Gadar ....."

At this time, far away in the crusader headquarters of the monastery, the Grand Lord Mograini and the Grand Procurator Ethan Lien were discussing something.

"They'll be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Ethan Lion walked around the cathedral with some uneasiness. "Rather than this, it's better not to recruit him!"

"I know what this kid thinks!" Ethan Lien sighed, "The young man has a good face, and he wants to be alone without relying on the help of his elders, hoping that he will win the praise of his elders by defeating a piece of territory, and that's it." ”

"He shouldn't be treated like a traitor, he's just a kid!" Ethan Lion said with some distress, "Who is it that has revealed these things to those dead-brained members of the Brotherhood of Light!" And let the vampires know that they can't get our hands on us! ”

"It's useless to say that now." The High Lord, Mograine, stood up and paced around the cathedral, "I believe he has no treasonous thoughts, otherwise he would not have received the letter and immediately set out to return, taking with him some troops to take care of the supplies." ”

"The priority now is how to convince the other paladins and the other members of the Brotherhood of Light." The High Lord Mograini touched his bearded chin, "As long as you make sense of them, those nobles' ideas will be frustrated." ”

"It is impossible for us to hand over control of the army now, and likewise, it is impossible for me to hand over the land we control to them. It's not that we're greedy for these things, it's because it's not yet time. ”

"So be it!" The Grand Lord, Mograini, came to the hanger and took off his cape. "I'm going to try to get through the paladins, you go to the priests, and you can't see how to convince them. As long as we, the devout of the Light, are united, then the nobles will not want to force us to back down! ”

"Alright! Then let's split up! ”

※※※

Over the next two days, everything went according to plan.

Locke suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and talked and laughed with Brigitte and Dalyan along the way. On the other hand, High Lord Mograini and High Prosecutor Ethan Lion are also trying to make sense of those who hold different views of the Light.

On the other hand, the nobles would not let them get their wish easily.

The atmosphere in Gadar and the monastery became a little eerie.

After the first horse-drawn carriage loaded with supplies drove into the town of Gadar, the townspeople became agitated.

Horse-drawn carts laden with grain were far more eye-catching than armaments.

So, they asked the soldiers who were maintaining order along the way, trying to get answers from the soldiers. The civilians who followed the party also left the group, searching for their families in the town, recounting what had happened to them in the Silver Pines Forest.

Soon, the citizens of Gadar knew why, and the whole city began to boil. Countless citizens poured into the streets, trying to get news of the Silver Pine Forest from the refugees who had come over there, or to find out about their loved ones.

For a while, the town became unusually lively.

"Lieutenant Felicia."

Locke called out to the female officers who had gathered their soldiers in the distance.

"What do you have to tell the Legionnaire!" Lieutenant Felicia, rode over and saluted.

"Keep an eye on the supplies, where they go, and make sure that these things can only be handed over to the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien! Do you understand? Locke stared at her and admonished, "When you're done, wait for my news at the station." Let the soldiers not run around! ”

"Obey the Legion Commander!" Lieutenant Felicia saluted, rode his horse with cavalry and infantry, and followed the logistics convoy advancing in a line in front.

Locke looked at the soldiers in the distance.

Thomas reminded Locke, "It's getting late, we need to hurry forward so we can get to the monastery before dark." ”

"Oh, let's go!"

Passing through the bustling streets of the town, the knights hurried to the monastery at the top of the hill.

And Locke's heart was both frightened and angry, and all kinds of indescribable emotions came to his heart.

To this day, he still doesn't think he's guilty. What's more, the value created by their own actions is far higher than they imagined.

At most, one reprimand.

Passing by the cemetery of Archbishop Fao, Locke went to pay his respects to the cemetery, which had been newly renovated and the slabs and land had been reorganized.

At dusk, Locke and the others finally arrived at the Whispering Garden.

At the gates of the Garden of Whispers, a group of adjudicating soldiers was waiting for them.

"Bridget, go back first." Locke turned and handed her the reins of the warhorse, "Take a good look at the warhorse for me." ”

"Oh? Aren't you going back? Bridget asked curiously.

"Well, I still have some things to deal with, you can go in first." Locke smiled, "I need to see the Grand Attorney Ethanlien, and these soldiers are here to wait for me." ”

"Alright then," Bridge had no choice but to take the reins of Lightning, "when you are free, go find me at my lodgings, and I will hand over the horse to you." ”

When handing over the war horse, Bridget also secretly tugged Locke's palm in full view of everyone. Then she grinned and said, "Then I'm leaving." ”

Locke smiled and nodded.

Bridget then pulled two horses and walked into the Garden of Whispers.

"Locke, why don't I go with you to meet the Grand Attorney?" Darian looked at Bridget in the distance and patted his chest, "It's weird! How do I think Bridget has changed a lot? It's really not as scary as it used to be?! Is this my delusion? ”

"You heard Sister Bridget, and she might be tugging at your ear again." Locke straightened the cloak for him, "You go back quickly, maybe I'll meet the Great Lord later." ”

"Do you want us to wait for you to eat?" Dalyan asked with a grin. "Today there is smoked venison, which is my father's craft. You know, he hasn't cooked for a long time. ”

"No, you can eat first, I'll go another day." Locke waved his hand.

"Are you worried about investigating you?" Dalyan burst out with something that surprised Locke and Thomas. "Don't worry, it's just an investigation, it's normal. I've heard people say, it's nothing special, don't worry. ”

"You didn't tell you about Sister Bridget, did you?" Locke asked, surprised.

"It's not a secret now, it's been whispered all over the monastery. It won't be long before she'll find out. ”

Locke breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't know at this point. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for her to make a fuss.

"Alright, you can go back. Don't let the Great Lord wait. Locke soothed him. I'll go to dinner in the morning and evening. ”

Dalyan lowered his head and pulled his horse into the Whispering Garden.

When Dalyan was gone, Thomas stepped forward.

"Let's go, Locke."

The soldiers around him also meant to urge Locke forward.

"Where will I stay tonight?" Locke asked as he walked. "Also, when am I being investigated?"

"I don't know." "My mission is to bring you safely back to the cathedral, where your safety will be assured." ”

"What!? Did anyone really want my life? Locke couldn't help but sneer, "How much risk does it take to kill a paladin like me?!" Who would do that? ”

"No, you're thinking too much." Thomas smiled wryly and said, "This is the heart of our crusaders, our base camp, who would do such a thing here?!" This is all arranged by the Grand Prosecutor. ”

After the Whispering Garden, the soldiers became more numerous, and they stood idly on both sides of the road, chatting idly.
