Chapter 203: Knights of the Yellow Shield
"Hall Leader, it's finally here."
Gu Fan looked at the sky in the distance through the window of the carriage, where there were several black smoke that reached into the sky.
These days, everyone in the convoy has been nervous, not daring to relax at all, in order to prevent any accidents.
But fortunately, the attack they guessed did not come, and perhaps the people behind the scenes thought that the assassination was successful.
However, crossing the border between the Duchy of Etro and the Holland, there has been almost no sign of people in the past few days, and only occasionally you can see the footprints of some people who have been here on the roadside, and some household garbage or bones.
It wasn't until today that Gu Fan finally confirmed that he had come to the border city of the Hall Territory through the black smoke in the distance, after all, except for the places where humans lived, it was impossible for other places to have this kind of black smoke.
After a long time, the convoy finally came to the small city not far away, looking at the five-meter-high city wall, and the occasional crowd in and out, Gu Fan nodded, and finally came to a place with a large population.
As the convoy approached the city gates, several soldiers in light armor quickly ran up and stopped the convoy.
"Who are you?" The leading soldier looked at the guards in the convoy with a cautious expression, as if he were facing a great enemy.
The ordinary convoy naturally did not make him look like he was facing a great enemy, but although the convoy in front of him only had more than ten guards outside, plus the coachman and others, there were only about twenty, but these people were wearing a well-made armor and weapons, and the momentum exuded on their bodies was by no means an ordinary guard, which had to make him cautious.
After all, as the first layer of defense of the Hall Lord, their border city can occasionally encounter some aristocratic private soldiers who have fled or other scattered forces who are plotting against them, who knows if these people come to the border city with malicious intent?
Don't look at the fact that only a few of them stepped forward to stop the convoy now, in fact, most of the more than a dozen soldiers near the city gate are also looking at this side, and if they find something wrong, they will immediately come forward to support, or close the city gate.
And there are nearly 100 elite soldiers in the city who can come to support at any time, which is the biggest reason why they can defend the border city.
As long as it did not face a large-scale attack by other forces, it was easy for the border city to be lost.
"Bold, this is Young Master Felimon Hall's convoy, you dare to stop it?" Pilco stepped forward and reprimanded without hesitation.
As he spoke, he threw a token and a badge at the lead soldier.
Master Felimon Hall?
The face of the leading soldier suddenly changed drastically, and in a panic, he picked up the badge and token that had been thrown on the ground and put it in front of him.
The delicate Hall flower on the badge has some special feel and material that can never be faked, and this kind of badge has always been only the direct family members of the Hall family, or important officials of the Hall Collar are qualified to wear it.
The token is an exclusive identity token owned by the Hall family's close guard group, the Knights of the Yellow Shield.
If it were an ordinary soldier, it would be impossible for him to recognize this token, but as a squad leader, he had also heard the description of the Yellow Shield Knights from the commander, and now he found that it was very similar.
Suddenly, he immediately put the badge and token on his hands, respectfully sent it to Pilco, and said in a trembling voice: "Please spare my life, sir, I was blind, so I didn't realize that it was the convoy escorting Young Master Filimon." ”
Seeing this, Pickle did not continue to be held responsible, but waved his hand coldly and said, "Lead the way!" ”
Although he was a little angry, he also knew that these ordinary soldiers had never seen himself and others, and when they saw the excellent pretense of themselves and others, they would inevitably come up to inquire for the sake of safety.
On the other hand, if they don't know their own side of the people and don't come up to ask, it is a loss, and Pickle will tell Philemon about it.
Immediately, the leading soldier led the way, and let the other two soldiers next to him go first, and went to inform the soldiers near the city gate, so that they could clear the position of the city gate, so as to facilitate the entry of the convoy of Young Master Filipmonhuo.
At the same time, a soldier at the city gate, after learning that it was the convoy escorting Philippon, glanced at the convoy that was about to arrive at the city gate from a distance, and saw that no one noticed him, so he quietly left the city gate and ran into the city.
At this time, the eyes of the other soldiers were respectfully and excitedly placed on the convoy, and even the civilians near the city gate were all attracted by the convoy, and did not pay attention to the soldier's departure at all.
More than a dozen guards were located in the front and back of the convoy and on both sides, their neat and upright posture, as well as the faint bloodthirsty atmosphere on their bodies, as well as the graceful and spiritual horses that sat down, and the standard and uniform movements, so that the soldiers at the city gate could not help but envy.
"Is that the legendary Knights of the Yellow Shield, who are responsible for protecting the Hall family? Just by looking at their appearance, you can feel how powerful they are. ”
"It would be great if I could also enter the Yellow Shield Knights, not only do I have such excellent weapons and horses, but I heard that the benefits are very good, and the salary is at least twenty times higher than ours."
"Haha, dream about you, don't look at your little arms and legs, even if someone else comes to the Yellow Shield Knights with empty hands, they can get rid of you."
"What do you know if you haven't been beaten?"
"I'm so envious......"
“......”
Some people are envious, some people are jealous, and some people look at the Yellow Shield Knights with sparkling eyes.
After all, although the Yellow Shield Knights are only the guard knights of the Hall family, they are also one of the several elite knights in the Hall family, shouldering the responsibility of guarding the safety of the members of the Hall family, with supreme glory and corresponding benefits, compared to the soldiers on their own borders, it is like a heaven and an earth, unattainable.
And the eyes of civilians are mostly on the carriage.
"Is Master Felimon in the convoy?"
"Surely that's right, didn't those soldiers at the gate say that the convoy was the one escorting Master Felimon? Does anyone dare to pretend to be one? ”
"But why do those carriages look so shabby? It doesn't feel as good as my carriage, at least it's new. ”
"You know what? In my experience, it must have been a deliberately old carriage, it should be for safety, worthy of Master Philippon's carriage, so eye-catching. ”
"Wow, I really want to meet Master Filimon, I heard that he is very handsome and polite."
"Young Master Filipmont is also something you can see? He is our future lord! ”
