Chapter 230: Tension at the Sword
Unlike Cuenca's casualness, Isabel hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out her hands and put the small crystal card into her arms, and after a careful inspection, she sighed, and walked straight to the two strong men despite the opposition of her subordinates. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The small crystal card that the other party casually threw over was a pass issued by the Emperor of the Shadow Inheritance Country!
People who have never seen it naturally don't know how precious this thing is, but she is the chief knight of the Royal Knights, so it is naturally impossible not to know this thing, and after confirming the authenticity of the pass, she knows that she really misunderstood.
Looking at the two tall men in front of her, Isabel returned the pass in her hand to Cuenca, bent down and gave a knightly salute, and then whispered apologetically, "I'm sorry...... I misunderstood you. ”
"I'm sorry and that's it? Money! ”
"Alright, you're a psycho." Gently and habitually scolded Cuenca beside him, but the moment he saw Isabel's strange gaze, he suddenly realized that as a squire, he didn't seem to be talking like this, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "We still have something very important, don't we?" ”
Ignoring the blunt transfer of gentleness, Isabel leaned slightly and said softly: "But even if it is an envoy of the Iron Sail Country, at this time, he can only enter the Vigil Fort through our Royal Knights, after all...... Now it's extraordinary. ”
"We have heard about the affairs in your country, and it is naturally best to confirm our identity, after all, we are short of time, and we don't have too much effort to waste on your investigation." Since the other party is soft, it is not good to be gentle and unforgiving, not to mention that there is really not much time left for him, pointing to the old locomotive behind him, he said softly, "We don't expect to rely on this thing to get in, but because there is no means of transportation, so we thought of a temporary way." ”
"Your battleship...... Didn't stop at the port? ”
Isabel's question stumped Gentleness, and just when he was at a loss and didn't know what to say, Uncle Cuenca, who was huffing beside him, said in a thick voice: "Your broken port is so far away, it's not like I haven't been there, and the ship's fuel doesn't cost money?" Who would have thought that you would be under martial law, I came from here more than ten years ago! This side is close! ”
Listening to Cuenca's serious nonsense, Wen Wen also laughed secretly in his heart, but he would not be stupid enough to be more serious with his own people, but if he was not serious, it did not mean that Isabel in front of him would not be more serious, I saw that the young female knight said seriously: "Obviously...... It's closer, right? ”
“……”
“…… I don't care, I just think this is close, I'm going to go this way! Isabel choked and couldn't speak, even if it was Cuenca, he couldn't help but blush, and in the end there was no way, the old rascal could only play a cheeky scoundrel, "What's the matter, can't it?" ”
"Okay, okay...... You think it's close. Isabel had a headache to deal with the old rascals in front of her, after all, the unreasonable virtues of the Tiefan people are basically the same, in fact, it's not that they are unreasonable, they just don't bother to be reasonable......
Can do it, never compare.
"Then I still have to trouble the two of you to go with me to our Royal Knights' Regimental Headquarters, after all, the envoy visited, and asked to meet the Emperor This kind of thing is a big matter, and it is not something that I, a knight captain, can decide casually."
"No problem, as long as the steps of inventory are omitted, it can save time, and you can take us wherever you like." Waving his hand gently, he continued, "Anyway, we're really short on time, and I hope you can save as much red tape as possible." ”
"Okay, I'll do my best, I'll leave two of my men behind, and you can ride their horses and follow me in a while." After speaking, Isabel turned her head and said, "Wesker, you stay and take care of Mel, the four of you continue to be on duty, you have to report to me as soon as possible, the others follow the envoy, let's go back to the regimental headquarters first, oh yes, Andy, you don't have to go with us, you take a small path and go straight to inform the earl and my brother, just say that the envoy of the Iron Sail Country has an urgent matter, and ask to meet the emperor, so that the two of them can come to the regimental headquarters quickly." ”
"Is it so cumbersome?" Wen Wen was naturally afraid of trouble, he pursed his lips and asked softly, "We are in a hurry, and we can't take the path." ”
"It's already dark, so many of us are too easy to get out of danger when we go to the path, I know you are in a hurry, so I called the Earl directly, he can take you directly to meet the Emperor, this is already the limit of what I can do." Isabel spread her hands at Wen Wen and whispered helplessly, "I can't just take you to meet the Emperor." ”
"That's what you say...... But you still think it's so troublesome, can't you simplify it a little more? ”
"I really can't."
In the end, despite Isabel's gentleness, she honestly rode behind the other party, but fortunately, the female knight was not a slow man, and several of them galloped along the main road towards the night keep under his leadership.
Of course, if it weren't for Cuenca, the admiral who squeaked and screamed on horseback, they would have been faster.
He can't be blamed for this, after all, it was the first time in his life to ride a horse......
In the dark night sky, the bright light of the Night Watch Castle pierced the sky, and even though it was night, the whole city was still as bright as day.
Because of martial law, the busy caravans in Gentle's memory have long disappeared, replaced by solemn guards and armor shining with cold light, and it is not too much to describe the current state of the Vigil Fort with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, without Isabel's leadership, Gentle can't think of a better way than to rush into it with a bloody path.
Countless barricades and fortifications have been erected, and even now, the sappers in cloth clothes have not stopped in the slightest, and the beautiful and generous night watch fort has become unrecognizable, and if he had not been here, he would have even mistaken it for some frontier fortress.
"It seems to be very tense." When they reached the range of the Night Watch Fort, the horses under several people also slowed down, and gently followed Isabel, and said knowingly, "What happened to you here?" Even the capital of a country has become like this. ”
"Alas...... It's a shame to say, but you must already know that the situation within our country has changed a bit, a prince has openly rebelled with his own private army, and now, they are gathered on the plain west of the night keep, and they may launch a surprise attack at any time, so the entire Royal Knights are in a state of readiness, and my family is no exception. ”
Although I don't want to say it, but now that this situation is in front of her, Isabel can't hide it even if she wants to.
What's more, the purpose of this trip is just that.
