Because Charles had just arrived in Lorraine and had a lot to do, Byrne and Foreman had only taken five days off from charles.

At that time, everyone thought that five days was too short, but on the third day, Byrne and the others decided to leave New Lake Town and return to Nancy City.

When the five of them came, they were full of anger, and they all wanted their families to know that they were doing well outside, but when they left now, they were depressed and dissatisfied.

In the past few days, they have enjoyed the warmth given by their families, but they have also felt the resistance and estrangement of some people, especially some middle-level leaders of the Free Council, who do not get along well with the five "knight masters".

"Severed Finger, are you really not going with us?"

Just the day before leaving, the eldest severed finger suddenly decided not to leave, but to stay and live with his family.

"Captain, I'm old, I can't hold the spear and gun tightly with my fingers, I have injuries on my body, I always can't use my strength on rainy and cloudy days, and I always drag you back, so I'd better stay with my family!"

"And Aunt Mary is not in good health, and the sailor's father is always unable to find anyone to drink with, so I can take them all to my castle, and we will not live together in a lively way?"

Both Byrne and Foreman sighed, and they understood that the sailor was not unable to hold the spear or kill the enemy, but that he was beginning to worry about his family.

In the past, the knights of the Free Council never worried about their families, and each knight's family was respected and cared for by others.

Foreman hugged Severed Finger, "Thank you Severed Finger, although I still can't marry Lisa, I really appreciate that you can help me take care of my mother!"

"Get out! My Lisa doesn't worry about getting married at all, and two handsome young men came to my house yesterday to propose!"

"Bragging rights! Gerson and I are the most handsome in the whole town of New Lake, and those two things you are talking about must be ugly!"

Foreman sneered and dodged the flying foot of the severed finger, stepped on the head of the war horse and ran away without looking back.

Byrne also hugged the severed finger, "I will explain to the Marquis, you can stay at home with peace of mind, don't be impulsive when you encounter anything, you must know how to protect yourself!"

Severed fingers and arms hugged Bourne, saying that they all knew, they were all old brothers who fought together on the battlefield, and they understood each other's intentions.

The sailor also came over and whispered, "When I have saved enough money, I will go to the beach and buy a boat to settle down, and we will be together then!"

Severed Finger's eyes lit up, "That little town in Bayona is good, it's a good place!"

"Well, then Bayona. ”

...........

...........

Byrne and the others silently urged the horses all the way, and at sunset they had already rushed outside Nancy City, and seeing that they should be able to enter the city before dark, they slowed down their horses to let the horses take a breath.

When he was about to reach the city gate, Gesen suddenly gestured to Bourne, so the two dismounted and released the water, and Gesen whispered: "Bourne, there is something I want to tell you, and you have to make up your mind on how to deal with it." ”

"Well, say!"

"Do you remember when we first arrived in New Lake, Saville and Dickpole were not in town, and it took a long time to come back to deal with our affairs?"

Byrne nodded, "Do you know where they went?" I asked Saville but he didn't. ”

"They went to a mine in the back mountains, and it was a newly discovered silver mine. ”

"Silver mines?"

Byrne was amazed that the Lorraine region was rich in mineral deposits, especially iron ore and coal mines, but silver mines were rare, and the value of a silver mine was immeasurable.

Gerson lifted his pants, "Yes, it's the silver mine, in order to keep it a secret, Saville and Dickpole spend most of their time in the silver mine, and the affairs of the town are entrusted to the management of that Shirley's brother, so there are too many inappropriate things." ”

"Keep it a secret?" Byrne asked thoughtfully.

Gerson glanced at Byrne and said, "That silver mine is a little far from our town, not in our territory. ”

Bourne suddenly understood, and said anxiously: "Then we can't mine that silver mine, it belongs to the Marquis, we are stealing, we must go back and stop them!"

Gerson smiled and turned back to find his horse, "Byrne, after the events of the past few days, we are now suspected and jealous by the council, if we hinder their interests any longer, something will happen that you don't want to see, and you and I can't stop this matter." ”

Gesen turned on his horse and whispered to himself, "The purpose of what I tell you is not for you to stop them yourself, but in case the Marquis knows, you have a reason to clear yourself." ”

“..........”

Watching Gerson chase after Foreman and the others, Byrne hesitated for a long time, and suddenly found that he didn't even know which side he was on now.

In order to fulfill the tasks of the council, Byrne accepted the knighthood from Charles under the orders of the council, but now the duties of the knighthood hindered the interests of the council, and this feeling of being caught in the middle made him very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

..........

..........

Before dark, Byrne caught up with Gerson and the others at the West Gate of Nancy City, but he did not return to New Lake Town to stop Savile and Dickpole from continuing to mine silver.

At this time, a team was entering the city, and the members of Byrne's team were all blocked out, acting as spectators along with some locals who were also rushing into the city.

"These Pruss are really old-fashioned, you see that they even have to walk in line, or walk along the foot, the stupid look is ridiculous, hahaha!"

"Do you think they're stupid? It's serious, serious, and it's disgusting to be a loose Frank like you!"

"You say we are hateful, you rude Bavarian, this is now the land of Flens, if you dare to slander us, you will be sent to Sunset Castle, and if you have the ability, you can tell the Marquis what you just said!"

“............”

Ethnic tensions in Lorraine have always existed, and the locals at the gate are clearly divided into two factions, and they almost quarrel as they talk, but the skirmish, under the notoriety of the new lord, Lord Charles Chevalier, ended in a deflated pro-Prussian community.

After all, the Marquis is now loyal to the royal family of Florens, and the act of hanging more than a dozen nobles at once a few days ago has made his name loud enough, if he really enters the Sunset Castle, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Byrne and the others were also observing the Prussians entering the city, but they did not laugh at the stereotypical marching patterns of the Prussians, and were surprised at how these Prussians, who were obviously not soldiers, could have such strong discipline.

Gerson leaned over to Byrne and whispered, "Many of them have burn scars on their faces, they should be Prus's steelmakers, and this private army that keeps their guard is not like a private army, but more like Prussia's main battle force." ”

Byrne nodded slightly in agreement with Gerson, his attention focused more on the private army.

They were all wearing half-worn knight's chain mail, but they were all clean, and Bourne, who had experienced countless battles, could tell at a glance that this was the best quality that only the elite army of Prus was qualified to equip.

Everyone's armor is a uniform half-used color, so these armors are not inherited from their parents, but only show that this army is an elite division honed collectively on the battlefield.

And the leader of the private army standing quietly at the gate of the city made Byrne feel a strong threat, and he was obviously not an ordinary character.

"Let this kind of army enter the city, what is the Marquis going to do?"

Byrne, who didn't know Linal's exact identity, was full of doubts.

"What is he going to do, Charles? I brought so many people to help him, and he didn't go out to meet me?"

Linar, with a frosty face, stepped into the halls of Sunset Castle and murderously went to find trouble with Charles.
