Chapter 47: Expulsion
"Brass beard! Did you make a mistake with that family map? We've been climbing up and down here for three days, digging through all the cellars, but we can't find a single piece of old weaponry except stones, stones, and bones, and you're sure the castle still contains the treasures left by the dwarves? β
In the Dragon Spear Castle, under an abandoned city wall, a warrior with a two-meter-high body carrying a big sword like a door panel was complaining impatiently, and there was a hideous scar on his face, which looked particularly hideous with his impatient expression.
"I swear by my grandfather's beard! There will definitely be treasure here, this is what my father's grandfather told my grandfather, unless my grandfather remembers it wrong. Otherwise, there will be treasure hidden here. Don't try to use your meagre intellect to question our dwarves' memory, big man. A dwarf half the height of a warrior and a beard longer than his hair roared impatiently.
"Alright, Copperbeard, Kuka. Stop arguing! A man in his thirties, who looked quite mature and steady, stood up and stopped the two of them from arguing, and said, "The map of the Copper Whiskers should not be wrong, after all, this is the castle built by the dwarves back then. However, that treasure is not always easy to find. After all, for hundreds of years, countless adventurers like us have come here to hunt for treasure, and even if there are any secret rooms in the entire castle, they must have been found long ago. It's normal that we can't find it now......"
This is a squad of more than a dozen adventurers, including warriors, archers, thieves, and shield guards, in addition to mages and priests, it is a fully equipped adventure team. They are the most common group of people in this dragon spear castle on a daily basis.
Although the Dragonspear Castle has been abandoned for a long time, the story of the treasure that originally buried the bronze dragons and dwarves here has been widely spread, so it has been attracting a steady stream of adventurers to explore and rummage through the area for hundreds of years.
When Dugu Feng had not yet cleared out the monsters entrenched in the vicinity of the Dragon Spear Castle, the daily life of the Dragon Spear Castle was even more exciting and lively than now. Adventurers and adrenaline-junkies will love exploring Dragonspear Castle. Many people were always rummaging through the half-hidden dwarven cellars, hoping to find something - of course, the easy ones had already been looted, and the others were ...... Well, trolls and orcs would lurk in the ruins waiting for their prey, bandits would sometimes be entrenched in fortresses, and more than a month of dark and windy nights would erupt in the castle with fireballs and lightning volleys of magic - it was a battle between different adventure groups, but these were either suspicions or accidental injuries, or they were entirely caused by the robbers sowing discord. These scoundrels are here to profit from the fact that they plunder the belongings of the wounded and dead.
Since Dugu Feng cleaned up the entire Supreme Wasteland, those monsters and robbers have never visited the Dragon Spear Castle again. However, the safer environment has allowed more interested adventurers to enter the area, and many of them even claim to have treasure maps left behind by the ancient dwarves......
Of course, no one else can tell whether the truth is true or false, but until today, the so-called treasure of the dwarves has not been discovered, and it is indeed something that everyone knows.
Like the squad that just had a quarrel, it's just an extremely ordinary one of the many treasure hunting teams. And, in addition to these teams dedicated to treasure hunting, there are also many fledgling adventurers who make this place the first destination of their adventures. For example, in the broken gap in the city wall at this moment, a young man with an elf-style sword straddling his waist, like a playboy more than an adventurer, was leisurely talking and laughing with the two beautiful companions beside him, without the excitement and concentration of treasure hunting.
"Look over there, someone's coming!"
Just as the adventurers in the castle were concentrating on exploring and searching for treasure, an adventurer close to the city gate suddenly shouted.
"Be careful, it's a big team!"
Soon, the adventurers in the castle noticed the movement outside the castle, and the sound of horses' hooves and ruts when the large group of people and horses marched made these adventurers who were accustomed to fighting in the wilderness suddenly become alert, and they gave up the treasure hunt and rushed to the nearest city walls and towers to observe the movement.
The world of Feren has never been peaceful, although there has been no trace of a large number of robbers in the Supreme Wilderness since the appearance of the Killing Princess, but given the previous reputation of the Dragon Spear Castle, the adventurers did not dare to be careless. However, when they rushed up the city walls and towers, and saw the phoenix banner flying high, they immediately let go of their thoughts about it.
"Oh, it's the Counts of Phoenix's army!"
"I saw that it was the Killing Princess in front!"
"Ah, since there is a Killing Princess, it is indeed the Lord's Guard!"
"It's strange, what is Your Excellency Princess Killing doing with so many troops? There are no more forces worth sweeping around the Dragon Spear Castle? β
"What's so strange about this, it seems that the Dragon Spear Castle has been classified as a county of Phoenix, and it is normal for lords to patrol their own territory!"
β¦β¦
When the adventurers in the Dragon Spear Castle discovered Dugu Feng and his party, Dugu Feng and the others had already seen the existence of the adventurers in the Dragon Spear Castle.
Without Dugu Feng's command, a column of knights stepped forward and planted a phoenix banner representing the Count of Phoenix on the wall of the Dragon Spear Castle. At the same time, a knight at the head also stood under the banner and announced loudly to the adventurers in the castle: "In the name of Lord Alita Anta * Silver Shield, Count of Phoenix, from now on, Dragon Spear Castle will become the capital of the county of Phoenix, and will be directly managed by Lord Count and the lord's palace." From now on, Dragonspear Castle will no longer welcome all adventurers who enter without permission. Adventurers who have already entered, please walk out of the Dragonspear Castle on your own before the last rays of sunset set. Otherwise, those who overstay will be considered hostile and the Lordship shall have the right to take all measures......"
"Ahh
The knight's announcement immediately caused an uproar among the adventurers, although many adventurers already knew that the Dragon Spear Castle and even the entire Supreme Wasteland had been assigned to the Count of Phoenix by the Council of Baldur's Gate, but it had always been their habit to think that the Dragon Spear Castle was still a free place, and adventurers could explore and hunt for treasures freely.
"Why, Dragon Spear Castle is a land of freedom, why should you kick us out with a word!"
"That is, the Dragon Spear Castle was established by the dwarves, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the Baldur's Gate, so why did the Baldur's Gate Council divide it to the lord."
"Even if you kill Your Excellency the Princess, you can't drive us all out with a single word!"
"Yes, yes, we want to see Her Excellency Princess Killing, and we have to make it clear to your face......"
The sudden change made the adventurers who were bent on finding treasure here suddenly dissatisfied, the sky and the earth were big, and their own interests were the greatest. Although Lord Aleita of Princess Slaughter is famous and famous in the Baldur's Gate area, many people have benefited from her good deeds of clearing the wilderness monsters.
But when Her Royal Highness the princess violated their interests, they still subconsciously resisted.
"Lord Aelita, please listen to us......"
"Lord Aelita, although you are the lord of this place, please think about it......"
"Lord Alita, you are a good lord, I have always respected your Excellency, but ......"
Although Dugufeng has the title of "Killing Princess", but because she has been killing people from the wilderness monster and evil camp for more than ten years, she has always been regarded as a lord of the good camp, coupled with the good governance she has implemented in the territory, which makes people put the impression of "justice", "kindness" and "benevolence" on her.
Therefore, although all the adventurers knew that Princess Killing was a powerful lord, they were not afraid of her because of her reputation for "kindness" and "benevolence", and they still had the courage to refute and protest in the face of the knights' notices, and even wanted to go directly to Dugu Feng to plead.
For this very interesting scene in front of her, the corners of Vilia Roland's mouth couldn't help but escape a smile, although through these time contacts, she knew that the killing princess Aelita was not as "righteous", "kind" and "benevolent" as others imagined, but she still looked at Dugufeng with interest, and wanted to see how she dealt with such a thing.
"Hmph, what a bunch of stupid and weak idiots, how naΓ―ve that a bunch of sheep would try to reason with a lion!" Viconia, the dark elf who had been bored all the way, looked at the scene in front of him and immediately smiled disdainfully, and at the same time said in a tone full of anticipation: "Lord Eleta, leave them all to me!" I promise to make these useless males understand that the majesty of the strong is inviolable......"
Ms. Yinlong was silent, but she had been paying attention to Dugu Feng's reaction, as if she wanted to judge her tendency by the way Dugu Feng handled this matter.
"No, leave it to the knights!"
Dugu Feng's eyes were calm, and she didn't bother to pay attention to too much, these things were naturally handled by her knights, and the left and right were just to expel a group of adventurers, how could there be such a troublesome calculation.
With that, Dugu Feng rode straight towards the gate of the Dragon Spear Castle, ignoring the adventurers who tried to make her protest, and left it to the knights to deal with it.
Inside the castle, there was soon a little friction and conflict, but under the overwhelming force of the knights, it was quickly suppressed and quelled. Although the adventurers were unruly, in the face of the absolute number and quality of the lord's guard, they still had to leave the dragon spear castle voluntarily or involuntarily under the "persuasion" of the knights.
Seeing the adventurers leave the Dragon Spear Castle one by one either dissatisfied or helplessly, and there were no unexpected accidents, Dugu Feng suddenly sighed and said with a little disappointment: "It's a pity! β
"What a pity?" Everyone who was closer to Dugufeng heard her sigh and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm sorry I didn't have the protagonist to make a move just now!" Dugu Feng smiled lightly, focused his eyes on a very normal-looking adventurer, and said meaningfully: "It's rare for me to play a negative role for a while, and I can sing the opposite scene without the protagonist!" β
"What?"
Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard it, but the silver dragon lady Ilya Sala followed Dugu Feng's gaze and suddenly saw a figure that surprised her.
"Magic ...... Olebo, you stop me! β
