Chapter 8: Sudden Message
"When the door of the hall opened, I even thought that I had entered the palace of the legendary emperor, and that the countless luxurious and exquisite utensils and ornaments were enchanting, and he sat in the center and listened silently to the report of the knight with me, and slowly walked up to me with a smile, and comforted me softly, I swear, at that moment his figure was like a god walking in the world.

"My lord, there's something we must know about you!" Although the gate behind the knight was quickly closed, the crowd had temporarily lost interest in eating and drinking
Picking up a silk scarf and wiping his mouth, Leo first asked a less relevant question, "Where is Captain Anthony?" â
"My lord, Captain Anthony is leading people to make a careful inspection around the city, because we are not sure if there are more men nearby," the knight quickly replied in response to a question.
With the help of the conversation, Leo had already walked in front of the man who was being controlled by the two knights
"Your Lord, for your safety, please don't get too close, this man is a soldier!"
"With you here, I don't have to worry about getting hurt, do I? My friend."
Looking at the knight who reminded him, Leo smiled, and he really didn't worry about anything in his heart, not to mention that this person was controlled by two punishment knights with explosive combat power, even if there was an accident, don't forget that the attributes you modified were completely the same as those of the Punishment Knights.
"Well, of course, your trust is our highest compliment!" The knight said no more, but secretly became more cautious about the detainee's every move, allowing Leo to walk in front of him.
After a cursory look, Leo understood why his knight had concluded that this man was a soldier, not tall and strong, especially the muscles of his arms were thicker, and there were still purple-brown blood stains on the linen clothes on his shoulders and waist, which seemed to be old wounds he had received before
The upper body is draped with a set of tattered half-length chain mail, although there are obvious fractures and scratches in many places, which looks very worn, but in this era when metal is worth a lot of money, this kind of chain mail is not something that ordinary civilian rangers can equip.
Frowning, Leo did not have some of the stinky problems of the medieval aristocracy for the time being, and directly reached out to lift the chin of the person, and a foul smell came from the surface, and the facial features covered by the black mud and unknown objects could not be recognized, and only a standard Western face could be seen vaguely
The cheekbones are thick, and a scar that pulls from the back of the ear to the corner of the mouth brings out a little hideous and fierce, but the hair is so dirty that it has long been impossible to distinguish the color.
Shaking his hand, he took the silk scarf handed by Keith who was following him and wiped his hands, Leo handed his puzzled gaze to Finn, and Finn, who understood what he meant, didn't talk nonsense, and spoke directly
"A professional warrior, an axe warrior or a spearman, according to his height, the most likely axe warrior is not a miscellaneous soldier, it should be a squad leader who is biased towards bravery."
Leo nodded, he didn't have any doubts about Finn's words in his heart, just kidding, what kind of character is the Grand Master of the Punishment Knights with explosive attributes, although he has not shown his strength here, but in the game, he was able to use a few hundred people under the command of Leo to capture thousands of defenders without damage
Such a person will hardly be wrong in judging combat power and troops, and it can even be said that he can enter Finn's eyes, and this person can be regarded as having a little bit of strength.
After adjusting to the light in the hall, the already dim eyes of the visitor looked at the people in front of him in surprise, and of course, the most important thing was to see the group of knights behind Leo who were obviously amazing, and suddenly burst out with a look of hope
The dry and cracked lips squirmed desperately to say something, but this could make a strange sound of "hoho~" from the same dry throat.
Noticing this, Leo directly motioned to the two knights who were escorting the man, "Take him down to wash it, then change into clean clothes and come back to see what he wants to express"
"Yes, my lord," one of the knights pushed the man out of the room, there was a special bathing place in the nearby knights' station, and even the most brainless people could not let anyone who came to the mansion use the facilities of the mansion, while the other knight stayed where he was, and explained to Leo softly what had happened.
From the narration, Leo learned that while Anthony was patrolling the city walls, this person and another person, perhaps attracted by the lights on the walls of Stormwind, suddenly rushed out of the forest, beating and shouting desperately under the walls
Because when they were discovered, both of them were carrying weapons, Anthony did not dare to slack off, and directly led a few people out of the city to subdue the two, because the people kept shouting words like "messenger, for help", Anthony sent someone to escort him to Leo to inquire personally
As for another companion? "Probably the old wound was quite serious, but he didn't survive it, and he died outside the city." The knight who reported said disapprovingly, "And Lord Anthony, I am afraid that there are other people lurking in the woods, so I took a few people to search for it, and this is roughly the case, what else do you have to arrange, my lord?" â
"Well, thank you for your hard work, go to the table and drink a glass of wine to warm up, and eat something by the way to rest for a while" Leo waved his hand to the knight, and the other party was not polite after saluting, and directly found a place to eat and drink.
"Woo ~~~~~" let out a sigh of relief, Leo couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, one person is dead, one person is half dead, and it turns out that his subordinates said so indifferently and so naturally......
It seems that he has not fully substituted himself into the role, where is this? This is the Middle Ages when man eats man and is shrouded in darkness, do pity and mercy really work here? Leo couldn't help but ask himself.
Seeing that Leo didn't mean to speak for the time being, Fain and Keith waved their hands to let the other knights return to their original positions and continue to eat and drink, but the two of them stood quietly behind the silent Leo, and although the others continued to eat, the voices of their conversations with each other were much lowered.
About the time to drink two large glasses of ale, the leaving knight pushed the person in again, probably washed directly with cold water, this person was frozen and blue, and a fine linen underwear that was obviously larger was put on this person, with this person's short neck and huge head for a while, there was a funny feeling
Frowning and glancing at the person who was still shivering cold after entering the hall, Leo said directly, "Get him some food and drink, and call him to come to my side when he recovers, I have doubts and need his explanation." With that, he walked straight back to his seat.
At LÊo's order, a knight who had eaten and drunk about the same amount stood up, took out a few pieces of jerky bread and cheese from the table and put them in the basket, and poured a whole large glass of ale without being nibbled on it or not
He walked over and motioned for the knight who had been escorting him to get something to eat, then pulled the man into a corner with one hand, threw the food basket to the floor and stuffed the ale into the man's arms, and looked at him with a blank face
"Hurry up and finish eating, wait for the adults to ask you, don't make the kind adults wait for a long time!" After that, he stood quietly with his hands on his shoulders, and his absolute strength made the knight not worry about a possible attack at all.
Seeing the fragrant food in front of him, as well as the rich malt fragrance and clear liquor in his hands, Sean felt as if he was living in a dream, or suspected that he had died and was summoned to heaven by the Lord
However, he hadn't eaten anything for more than a day, and his body's instinct put aside his doubts for a while, first pouring in most of the ale wine, and then leaning over like a hungry wolf to pounce on the hearty food
Kneeling on the floor and munching on soft white bread that he had never tried before, tearing at the spiced jerky, tears of happiness slid down Sean's rugged face
"Listening to the words of the person just now, the adults here are nobles? But who had ever heard of even the most benevolent nobles treating a lowly soldier in such a way? Expensive white bread for yourself as an inferior person? â
Sean, who didn't stop talking, remembered to catch a glimpse of the outline of the huge city and the extremely luxurious hall in front of him before he was caught again
"Lord Leicester's castle is like a dirty, cramped stable compared to this...... "Sean said disrespectfully to his lordship.
