Chapter 9: Trickery
I've seen two or three hundred meters tall buildings, and I've seen the bridge of the Century Project, but when he saw the Plantagenet City close at hand, Al still showed a shocked expression.
A majestic city appeared before El, towering majestically, covering the sky and the sun, across the plain, and connecting to the mountains in the distance.
The city of Goldfinch was built directly in a valley plain surrounded by mountains on three sides.
And the majestic walls, 60 meters high and 28 meters wide, were erected on the plain, shattering the confidence of any enemy who dared to invade. In the previous life, the tallest city wall in the history of China was only 18 meters high and 12 meters wide.
The entire wall is made of expensive limestone and is smooth throughout, without any footholds. The arrows, towers, and forts densely distributed on the city wall make people's eyelids tingle. The most striking thing is a huge magic crystal cannon erected on the city wall.
Among the southern kingdoms, only the capitals of a few large kingdoms can see this magic crystal cannon. As the foundation of the kingdom, it intimidates anyone with dissenting intentions.
At the highest point of the city wall, a black flag embroidered with gorse fluttered in the wind.
Al and his party slowly walked towards the central gate.
The carriage creaked on the bridge in front of the city gate, and the moat under the bridge, which was about 20 meters wide, appeared from time to time some hideous monsters, looming in the river water.
This made Al sigh a little, after hundreds of years of continuous improvement, the city of Plantagenet is almost equivalent to the capital of a kingdom in terms of security.
......
George, the captain in charge of the central gates, has never been so proud in the past thirty years. Some time ago, he was just a squad leader, and after meeting a noble young master by chance, he ruthlessly helped the noble young master do a few shady things.
Seeing that he was able to do his job, the young master made him the captain of the guard at the central city gate.
You must know that the upgrade of the army in Plantagenet City is very strict, timid, and with average talent, he worked hard in the first thirty years to get a team leader, and he was in charge of ten people, without any oil and water, and he had to work night duty.
But now it is different, it is said that the noble young master personally found the city gate officer, and Jack, who was in charge of the daily patrol of Goldagenet, was the boss of his immediate boss. Within a few days, George was promoted to captain and was responsible for the day-to-day security of the central gates.
Most of the soldiers at the city gate yearn for the central city gate where the nobles can walk, not to mention, the nobles passing by a little reward at will, a month, is comparable to their own three months' remuneration.
Not to mention the aristocratic lady in the carriage, just listening to the voice coming from the carriage makes people infinitely reverie, if they can be favored by a famous lady, tsk, at least thirty years of struggle in this life.
After learning the identity of this young master, George was dead set on him. The god of light is above, and he is actually the nephew of Lord Viscount.
Who in Goldfinch City doesn't know that Lord Viscount has a thin blood, only one son and one daughter, and the only son has been delicate and frail since he was a child, and rarely appears in front of outsiders.
Compared with Al, who has been frail and sickly since childhood, Louis, who is the nephew of Lord Viscount, has a tall figure and a handsome face, which is undoubtedly more in line with the image of the heir in people's hearts.
And after learning this, Louis, the fire of ambition also burned wildly in his heart, and through the relationship between the viscount's nephew, he was mixed left and right in the upper echelons of Goldfinch City. After that, with his good talent and the cultivation resources rewarded by the viscount from time to time, he entered the senior knight apprenticeship in one fell swoop a month ago.
Not long ago, he successfully hooked up with Tiffany, the two beauties of Plantagenet and known as the "Frost Rose".
After learning by chance that Al has a crush on Tiffany, Louis cleverly sets up a game and spends a lot of energy just to hear that the boy is dead. If it weren't for Lin Ran crossing over, he would have really succeeded.
The smooth sailing life of the past ended after that night.
It didn't take long for the upper echelons of Goldingegate to get the news that the little master would return in a month. And the upper-class nobles who learned the news even cleared their ties with him.
Thinking of this, Luis, who was a little manic with "Dong", couldn't help but slap his palm on the table.
Even Tiffany, who had secretly sent him a secret wave, was visibly estranged, and Louis's handsome face twisted a little when he thought back to Tiffany.
That damn woman, don't think I don't know what kind of character you are, you have a cold expression on the surface, but in fact, you are a chech who loves vanity and is obsessed with power.
As the fiery Louis who fought with Tiffany not long ago, he obviously has a lot to say. When he had the possibility of inheriting the Plantagenet, Tiffany took the initiative to contact him, and once it was determined that he was of no use, she immediately hated and disgusted him and stayed away from him without the slightest hesitation.
Thinking back to Tiffany's cold face, the coquettish look under the frost. Louis licked his lips that were a little dry, and his heart was hot, "It's a pity, if the news of Al's return to the city is a little late, maybe I will be able to take her."
And the imminent loss of hope of inheriting the Golden Bird City made him extremely angry, and anger filled his chest and drowned his sanity.
We can't sit back like this anymore, something has to be done.
After having such an enlightenment, he liked to plot behind his back, so he used the only remaining favor to arrange a team leader into the central city gate.
After instructing George to see the carriage and how to behave, he quietly hid in a room by the city gate, quietly looking at his masterpiece.
According to his own judgment, Zack, the commander of the guards who has no brains and a short temper, will definitely not be able to withstand the provocation and fight directly.
What is the gate of the Golden Bird City, a military stronghold. As the only city wall to the outside world, there are five thousand troops stationed in the vicinity alone, and three first-order professionals. Any riot will be ruthlessly suppressed, and whoever dares to resist on the spot will be killed on the spot.
In the early days, there were countless nobles who had planted their heels at the city gates, and even relied on the pampering of some bigwigs' favored women, and were directly killed mercilessly because of playing on the spot.
When the time comes, facing the majestic and ruined Al and his reputation plummeting, in the face of his heroic self, my dear uncle, will you consider your nephew?
Louis thought fiery inwardly.
At the same time, he quietly stared at the road at the city gate in anticipation.
......
Sitting in the carriage, El, who was thinking about how to build a group of his own forces, was awakened by the noise in front of him.
"Go ahead," the coachman, who heard the command, obediently drove his carriage to the city gate.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I heard Zack's loud voice.
"I'm blind to your dog's eyes, don't see whose carriage this is, you want us to drive one by one for you to check, and don't let me go."
At this time, Zack's green tendons were exposed, and his neck was thick and red, if he hadn't been afraid that this was the city gate, he would have slapped the face of the squad leader in front of him who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The little master of Plantagenet, under his own escort, was blocked at the gates of the city and asked to get out of the car for inspection.
It's a big joke, if that's the case, forget it if you kill yourself directly, and the angry Viscount will tear himself apart as soon as possible. When have you heard that the master of the city was bullied by the servants he raised.
It is a disgrace for the Lord to disgrace his subjects, and the disgrace must be washed away with blood.
Thinking silently about all this in his heart, Zack, whose eyes had begun to turn red, slowly lifted the knight's gun in his hand.
