Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the beginning of 1178 in the imperial calendar

Under the intelligence of Carlos and the urgency of the difficult challenges ahead, Saru and Aeoris led the Knights of Glory, the Knights Templar, and the knights of other clans, and returned directly to the imperial capital with lightning speed without even waiting for the Pope to arrive

An army of more than 2,000 pure knights caused a great sensation, their torn armor and scarred bodies made it possible for anyone to see what they had been through, and the soldiers of the city defense army and some civilians who did not know the truth even thought that their expedition to His Majesty the Emperor had been victorious, so that these knights were spontaneously cheered when they entered the city......

More than twenty days of almost sleepless rushing and fighting, almost squeezed out the last trace of physical strength of the knights, but as they knew the inside situation, they understood that now was definitely not the time to rest, just entered the city, under the order of Saru, in the astonishment of the city defense officers, some of the glory knights resolutely and even somewhat brutally quickly controlled the key nodes of the city wall, as well as the most important city gate

Under Aeolith's orders, the hundreds of Templars who remained behind in the Church quickly integrated into the army, giving them a few more powers at their disposal

The solemn look, the unsheathed weapon, the terrifying silence, the extraordinary and strange momentum of the army walking on the main road of the imperial capital, made even the most stupid people see the unusual taste, the shop quietly closed the door, and the civilians were holding their wives and children in the low stone hut and peeping outside, trembling, they could only hope that the final result would not be too bad......

The anomalies of the Knights of Glory and the Knights Templar also attracted the attention of many nobles, and the waves of messengers who inquired on behalf of the various families did not send the news back to the lord's house, Saru did not hesitate to detain these people, and occasionally a few evil servants who believed in the noble status of the family were also killed on the spot by these bloody knights, and in such intentional control, when those high-ranking nobles who had some unknown intentions learned the news, the Knights had surrounded the Imperial Capital Noble House, which once represented supreme majesty......

The imposing walls are only slightly lower than the palace, and the huge stone blocks are covered with exquisite stone carvings by artists from all eras, and two tall bronze sculptures stand on either side of the gate large enough for four carriages to drive into, the knight-like bronze statue on the left hand holding a long sword in both hands, and the figure on the right is a nobleman in a noble costume holding a book, the two figures proclaim in the most straightforward way the means of the ruling class of this era - force and knowledge......

Immediately stepped forward with Aeorisze, the courtyard in front of them had once made them feel suffocated and in awe, every decision made in the room inside that even the Emperor had to pay attention to and even compromise, and today, the courtyard was still the same, but the different rotten aura inside made Saru feel mocking and disdainful

Of course, there is also a lot of credit for Rolf's life, he has been committed to reducing the power of the nobility, especially the great nobles, after sitting on that throne, through killing and other means to make the House of Nobles more like a symbol than before...... And today, Saru and Eoris are going to completely trample on the dignity of this last shred of symbolism!

"Let's make some noise, and let the old men who are hiding inside probably already shivering know that we're coming......"

After watching it for a while, the two lost interest, and Aioris shook his horsewhip in a bored tone and commanded his subordinates behind him

Soon, two heavy ropes were tied to the mahogany bronze gate, and the two Templars who were holding the other end in place smiled at each other as their companions left, and began to sped up......

"Crunch squeak~"

The wood was stretched with an unbearable noise, the iron deadbolt groaned and deformed under the force of the pull, and finally, with a loud bang, the awe-inspiring gate shattered and collapsed into the smoke and dust like a pile of garbage

"Stop! What do you bastards want to do, that door from the hands of the great Michelangelo is more precious than your lives! I swear, I'm going to hang you, all the people present, everyone...... Understand, everybody ......"

The loud noise was like a naked mockery, making it impossible for the people in the room to pretend to be ignorant, and with the support of several frightened guards, the current president of the House of Lords, an elderly nobleman dressed in the garb of a noble duke, roared hysterically at the end of the stairs

Flapping his hand in front of his nose, Saru didn't know whether it was to disperse the smoke or disdain, and he kept his grace on his horse and stroked his chest slightly, and the Grand Master of Glory sneered and spoke

"Honorable ...... Your Excellency Lord Grantham, forgive me for taking the liberty of disguising you, no matter how disguised you are, you are still far from the original Duke of Lancaster, and perhaps the Duke and His Majesty do not agree in philosophy, but in contrast to the old man's fearlessness and wisdom, you are more like a monkey in a beautiful garment......"

"Snort~~~"

Although he understood that it was not an occasion, although he felt that what he said was out of character, but after hearing the last sentence, many knights behind Saru still couldn't help laughing directly, only Aeoris beside him looked at him deeply, he understood that Saru was not having a good time these days, the grief of Rolf's death, the pressure of the future invasion of strong enemies, and the depression that forced him to succumb to Leo due to the environment, all of which led him to need a catharsis, unfortunately, the duke, who was sent to the door in front of him and happened to be in the goal of cleanup, unfortunately obtained this. Honors'......

"You...... You...... What did you say? ”

With his eyes wide open, he didn't expect Saru to say this, Duke Grantham trembled uncontrollably under his anger, and the scepter in his hand, which was beautifully crafted to represent his status, was even subconsciously clenched by his withered palm with an unpleasant friction sound

Rolling his eyelids, Saru probably realized the problem of his mentality, and didn't bother to say anything more, and pointed forward with the horsewhip in his hand

"It is reported that the Duke of Grantham and other nobles of the House of Nobles are suspected of betrayal and conspiracy to subvert the Empire, and are suspected of detaining or murdering Baron Carlos, in the name of the Grand Master of the Knights of Glory, the guardian of the Empire, I declare that from this moment on, the above-mentioned people and others will be temporarily deprived of the rights due to the nobles, and after being seized, the laws of the Empire will be reviewed and the Duke and others will be given a fair trial, and now, take everyone here, the water prison in the imperial capital will be their new home, if there is resistance, I authorize that they can be killed on the spot, regardless of identity!"

As soon as Saru's words fell, hundreds of glorious knights who had been prepared behind him rode in, and the sounds of crying, cursing, and begging for mercy were soon heard from different corners of the vast courtyard, and there was the occasional but soon subsidence of the intersecting of weapons and the movement of fighting......

At this time, the Duke of Grantham on the steps could no longer pretend to be calm, and sat limply on the cold bluestone, his eyes were so dilated that he didn't even notice that his cherished scepter was rolling down, but kept muttering

"No...... You can't do that...... We are nobles...... It's noble...... We will enjoy the rights and status that we are born with...... You can't treat us like pariahs...... I did not betray the Empire...... No...... There is no ......"

A stench came with the wind, covering his mouth and nose, Saru glanced at the once high-ranking duke in front of him in disgust, and the disgusting yellow-brown mark on his wet body made him suddenly realize why Leo had such unconcealed disdain whenever he talked about most nobles

Perhaps, as Leo said, their souls were no more noble than the others, except for their clothes and their appearance of pretense of majesty......

Vaguely glancing at Eoris beside him, looking at Duke Grantham, who had to be dragged by two glorious knights to walk, Saru said in a deep voice

"I've done what I'm supposed to do, of course, the Knights of Glory aren't easy to handle in the future, but now we need a cohesive and united imperial capital under absolute control, and I'm sure you won't let everyone down, right, my friend?"

Subconsciously appeasing the restless horses, the Grand Master of the Templars continued to glance at the nobles who were struggling to be dragged out of the courtyard with an intriguing gaze, nodding heavily without any hesitation, and a cold cruelty slipped out of the corners of his mouth

"Of course, the burning of some of the higher pagans will undoubtedly make the ignorant civilians more fanatical and fearful......
