The knight's gaze was silently around the people.

Just a dozen paces away, a group of men dressed like him were busy unloading, carrying boxes of goods to the body of the earth-walking beast, covering the skin and rain cloth on their faces, and tying them tightly with ropes to prevent the dust and wind and sand of the wilderness from invading.

They are temporary companions on this journey.

This group of people seemed to be just an ordinary caravan, and this small city probably received hundreds of similar caravans every day.

But Cummins knew very well that there were several swordsmanship masters who were no less than himself, as well as royal magic advisors from the royal capital, great wizards accompanying him, and even ......

He licked his dry lips.

The power of the Holy See, a young cardinal.

Because of the existence of this group of people, Cummins knew that he had to hurry, otherwise it would be very easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

"Mr. Comas, go and pour some wine."

A middle-aged man with a full beard took off his hood and walked over to this side. With a hearty smile, he threw the barrel to Cummins, and "Comas" was the pseudonym he now used.

Cummins had known this man since he was still in the Templar Order. His ancestors came from the Norse wilderness, and he was well known among the mountain people of the Rhine kingdom on the shores of Lake Alondin, and was nicknamed "Harry the Great Axe".

After making a name for himself in the Kingdom's triennial "Triple Champion of the Warriors" competition, Mr. Harry returned to his hometown and gathered a group of fellow villagers to form a "Troll Mercenary Regiment" to go to St. Michel's Castle to develop, and finally succeeded in connecting with the Pontifical Council and becoming a member of the so-called "Protector Army", a peripheral armed force nominally subordinate to the Holy See.

It is said that this man is extremely drunk and short-tempered, but in front of Cummins, he does not see the rumored cruelty at all, but has a kind face; In fact, he was very kind to everyone in this caravan, like an honest uncle from an ordinary family, and he did not show that he was a mercenary whose hands had been stained with a hundred lives.

Cummins nodded, taking the barrel over.

He knows why.

Because the "Giant Axe Harry", who is in charge of thousands of brothers and can be called a famous person in the underground world of the entire royal capital, is just an ordinary guard in this caravan......

Cummins smiled self-deprecatingly.

He didn't mean to look down on this uncle in the slightest. After all, he was once the youngest branch leader of the Templar Order, a genius knight with the reputation of "sword like lightning", and Cummins Morningstar, whose background was far more noble than that of a mountain mercenary, was now only half a pound or two in this caravan.

……

After Harry turned to leave, Mr. Knight knew it was a good opportunity, provided he didn't notice.

With an excuse to buy spare drinks, he quickly headed to the bar.

There were many people here, and he blended into the crowd in three steps and two steps, like a fish swimming into a muddy pond and quickly disappeared.

A few minutes later, Cummins came out the back door of the tavern with an empty barrel.

He took a deep breath. Mr. Knight lowered his head, only to realize that the fingers that were accustomed to the hilt of the sword, which should be as strong as steel, were trembling slightly.

There was no doubt that he was feeling nervous, a tension that had never been felt before.

If someone detects an anomaly in his body, it may reveal his connection to the leader of the Wizards of the Black Tower. At that time, my fate will not be too good.

The eerie voice of the wizard leader came from the other side.

"You say, His Majesty agreed...... Is it? ”

Judging from the tone of the other party, it doesn't seem to be unexpected at this time.

But in reality, the operation to save the queen would develop to this point was greatly beyond Cummins's own estimates.

He had thought that there was little hope because His Majesty Luther VII was not kind. To put it nicely, it is brave and fierce, with the spirit of an emperor; To put it mildly, he would agree to such an almost threatening condition.

Although in Cummins's view, the "Lion Oath" is actually not too heavy a burden for the king and the royal family, at least not compared with the daughter of the Duke of Hofburg, for Rhine, Queen Mary is an irreplaceable treasure.

This is not because Cummins has been carried away by Queen Mary's beauty, if this is said, except for some old people who eat old things and drown in their fantasies with the so-called "Rhine tradition", I am afraid that most members of the high society will have the same idea.

The knightly oath certainly has irreplaceable value, it symbolizes the prosperity and prosperity of the era of the lion king, and has always been only qualified for members of the royal family, but in fact, the people who know the content and master this oath are far more than the Rhine royal family.

Kingship does not last forever.

During the "Calendar of Kings", from the end of the reign of the Lion King to the official establishment of the Holy Alliance, the Rhine Kingdom prospered and declined, and had a dark history of weakness and poverty:

The great kingdom that once shook the continent fell to the end of being captured by most of the country, and even the gate of the capital was burned;

The king and his family servants had to take refuge in the church of Our Lady of Chartres to escape;

The entire city of Saint-Michel was looted by outsiders, and there were a large number of gold and silver treasures and precious ancient relics, including, of course, the centuries-old knight's oath;

In the end, it was the only undefeated dragoon commander who signed the compensation agreement at the negotiating table, and the mediation of the Holy See (then known as the Church of Dawn) allowed the invading army to withdraw from the capital.

This is a humiliating history for the people who have lived on this land for generations.

Among these raiders were the Violet royal family, which once ruled the Highland Kingdom, and the Medici family, the first ruler of Esperia.

Therefore, although everyone is now brothers and sisters who share the common faith in the Lord, and the three countries of the Holy Alliance are in harmony and peace, and do not mention the old things, in fact, the content of the lion oath has long been mastered by the top leaders of the other two kingdoms and the Holy See, and it is no longer a secret.

What's more, the male lion vows to exert the power it has, and the most important thing is a group of strong men who are willing to prostrate at the feet of the king.

But looking at the entire Middle-earth continent, I am afraid that it is difficult to give birth to a king with a personality as the Lion King, whose personality charm far exceeds that of ordinary people, so no king has ever been able to reproduce the majesty of the Lionheart Knights.

At least in the hands of Luther VII, the current ruler of the Rhine Kingdom, this thing can only be used to bring another layer of shackles to the guard family that has been brainwashed for hundreds of years, and there is not much difference between having it and not having it.
