Chapter 38: The Knight's Wandering (2nd Update)

"Assemble everyone!

"Don't light the torch!

"Keep your voice as quiet as possible! Get out of the residential area! Get to the port!"

In the starry night, in the barracks of a residential area separated from the port, all the soldiers were mobilized.

"There are too many of us, we must transport them in two parts! The cavalry will get on board first! Landing from this location, and after landing, we will retreat to the left first, and go around the rear! Don't disturb the other side!"

"The infantry must seize these two heights before dawn and then suppress them with bows and arrows!"

"Assemble before eleven o'clock tonight, load the ship at twelve o'clock, load the ship by two o'clock in the morning, and start landing at three o'clock. Before dawn, all the troops must be transported to the other side! The first ray of sunshine is the signal for our decisive battle! Do you understand it?"

"Understood!" the knights in attendance all slammed their breastplates.

Glancing towards the crowd, Ireen hesitated, "Where's Gray?"

"I don't know, I've already sent someone to find it. Abby Robles said.

"Didn't he know we were going to attack tonight?"

"It should be. We kept this matter strictly confidential and hardly told anyone who didn't need to be involved in the preparations. And of course he too. ”

Irene looked at Shelley, who was standing behind Earl Grugru.

"I, I don't know. He said that he was going to stay in the barracks today, and he didn't let me follow. Shelley said with a wink.

Irene sighed helplessly. I don't know why, faintly, a little uneasy.

......

At this moment, Gray was leading the horse in the White City.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the streets of the White City were quiet. Almost all the shops are closed.

Walking down the street, you can occasionally hear the voices of residents returning to their homes, or the sound of laughter, or quarrels, or the sound of beating and scolding children.

The voices were as distant as if they were coming from another world.

Gray walked alone down the street, looking.

"I think I should do something, but I don't know what I should do now. ”

"Perhaps...... You can go to a knight's show?"

Gray lowered his head, took out the crumpled "Knight Success Guide" that he had read countless times from his armor, held it in his hand for a long time, but put it back again, and said softly: "I don't want to watch knight dramas now." ”

"It's so rare that you don't want to watch a knight drama. ”

"I want to talk to someone and you say you want to pay attention to other people's feelings. I want to know what other people think of me. I'd like to give it another try if I can. ”

"Try what?"

"Try to be a great knight. ”

"Well, who are you going to look for? Shelley? In her mind, you should already be a great knight. ”

Looking up, Gray found himself at the castle gate.

It's so late today, and the castle gates are still open. But there were several times more guards. On the city walls, rows of torches kept coming and going.

Through the door, Gray saw the mansion from afar, and saw Shelley's room, the lights had gone out.

In Irene's room, the lights were also off.

There is also the room of Count Gruglu. The whole mansion was silent, and almost all the lights were extinguished. It looked like there was no one.

Standing there in silence for a long time, Gray whispered, "I want to go to the tavern." ”

"Do you want to win again?"

"It's not. ”

"You can't drink. ”

"Not really. I just thought, once I get there, maybe I'll be in a better mood. Forget about today's events, and continue to be a knight in the same way. Although it may not be that great. ”

With that, Gray had turned around with his bone horse and began to search the tavern in the street.

"Oh my God, you still want to use the same method...... Well, the Lich's ideas are always unexpected. However, in fact, you don't have to forget about today's events, you can also follow the original method. It's easy to do, isn't it?"

"It's not easy to do. ”

"Why?"

Gray didn't answer, but walked slowly with the bone horse, strolling along the bluestone paved stone path.

......

"Hasn't Gray been found yet?" said Irene.

"Haven't found it yet. Mike panted and said, "The whole camp was searched, but I couldn't find it." The guard said he left in the evening, and it was not known if he had returned. I sent a horse to the city, and the guard of the castle said that he seemed to have seen him. ”

"Like?"

"It's pitch black, I can't see clearly. I don't know where I went after that. ”

Ireen held her forehead, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

At the moment of the war, as a knight, he actually left the barracks without permission. Not only that, but even his whereabouts are unknown.

"Do you want to send someone to look for it?" Mike asked quietly.

"No need. Hall on the side said: "Do you want to turn the whole White City over to him at this time? He is just a knight, not a commander or a general, without him, it will not have any impact on the situation of the battle." After all, he is just an unstable factor. What we need to do now is to seize the opportunity to attack while the enemy army is not ready in all aspects, and win in one fell swoop!"

After thinking about it, Irene replied softly, "Okay, then let's get ready to go, don't wait for him." ”

"Yes!"

......

Gray gently pushed open the tavern door.

All of a sudden, all eyes converged on him.

"Yo, Baron Gray?"

"Why did he come to the tavern at this time? Isn't he supposed to be in the barracks preparing for war?"

"Who knows?"

The drinkers are all talking.

A drunkard drunkenly walked up to Gray: "Baron Gray, remember me? I rewarded you with two silver coins, remember?"

Gray was stunned for a long time before he remembered: "I remember, I gave you silver coins." ”

"Yes, you gave me a hundred, and then I rewarded you with two. The drunkard drunkenly took Gray's hand and laughed: "I lost all my money again, it's all your fault, you gave me so much money, and now I not only lose it all, but I also owe a lot of money to others." It's your responsibility, you have to make it up to me and give me some more money. This time I want two hundred. ”

"But I don't have any money. ”

"You don't have any money?" the smile on the drunkard's face disappeared, and he shouted, "Who are you fooling? You are a nobleman, how can you have no money? Don't you want to give it to me?"

Gray looked at him dumbfounded.

"Give me the money! you must have money in you!" said the drunkard, holding out his hand to search Gray's body.

The bartender at the bar couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Drag this guy out." ”

Soon, three strong men appeared in front of Gray. They separated the drunkard from Gray, and then carried the drunkard out the door.

The drunkard was still struggling and shouting, "You won't give me money! What kind of knight are you! What is your chivalry?"

"Shut up! Believe it or not, beat you up?"

The drunkard was thrown out.

When he came back, the strong man spread his hands at Gray and said, "I'm really sorry for sweeping your Yaxing." Hopefully Baron Gray doesn't mind. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Gray bowed to them sincerely.

"No thanks. The brawny men whistled back to their seats.

There was a burst of laughter in the tavern, and the scene was lively again.

Gray also found a place to sit down.

"Do you need something, Lord Baron?" asked the bartender, wiping his glass.

Gray looked left and right for a moment, and realized that there was no one in the tavern gambling today. I can only say: "I don't have any money." ”

"No money, oh, do you need me to treat you to a drink?"

"No, no. Just let me sit here for a moment. ”

After thinking about it, the bartender said, "Okay, anyway, there aren't many guests today." Location is available. We hope you enjoy your sitting. ”

"Thank you. ”

Gray just sat quietly, motionless, as quiet as a suit of armor laid out there.

The people around him also paid attention to him from the beginning, but gradually forgot about it in the end. Each is looking for his own happiness.

The black cat whispered, "The human world is complicated, you gave that guy money, and he lost even more because of it. At the end of the day, just remember that he rewarded you with two silver coins. Are you sure you're helping him?"

In the tavern, a prostitute quarrels with her client, who slaps the prostitute and swears her.

"Look at that woman, according to chivalry, you should help her. But she was a prostitute and had no other means of earning a living. You helped her teach her a lesson, and she will be in trouble in the future. ”

An alcoholic was beaten out because he didn't have the money to pay his bills.

"Look at that man, according to chivalry, you should also help him. But he's a heavy drinker, and if you give him money, he'll drink more. And alcohol is not good for the body, and he may die suddenly in a corner somewhere. Then the poor orphans and widows were left alone. ”

A musician is forced to apologize when a drunk drinker throws a drink on his face. The abuser laughed as he raised his glass.

"If you help him, he won't be able to perform here again. You have to leave your home...... Not only will he not be grateful to you, he may resent you. Do you want that?"

"I don't want to, but...... What exactly should I do?"

"I don't know, after all, I've never been a knight. But I think maybe no one knows what to do, that's why there are so few good knights in this world. Everyone will just stand by and watch, and they won't make a move. This is the chivalry that the vast majority of people in this world understand. There is always a reason behind everything, and it is not a single person who can change it. ”

"What is the point of vows that cannot be fulfilled, and are knightly oaths meant to be broken from the beginning?"

"I know it's going to make you feel bad, but it's true, Gray. Chivalry has withered, it is not what it is in knightly dramas. You may be the last 'adult' in the world to believe in a knight's oath. If a hundred and fifty-year-old lich could be considered an 'adult'. ”

Gray slowly stood up.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm getting out of here. Not only did it not have the answer I wanted, it made me even more confused. Gray said.

......

At this moment, Irene was already standing in the harbor and preparing to board the ship.

A large number of soldiers had already begun to line up and get on board in the dark.

"Be careful, don't worry, make too much noise and you'll be discovered by the other side!"

"Shhhh

Turning her face sideways, Irene looked at the other side of the wind.

The camp on the other side looks like it's going to be business as usual, so I guess we haven't noticed it yet.

The river is about two kilometers wide. At such a distance, even if there is any movement here, it is not easy to detect it there. Unless torches are lit, or a whole army is making a fuss.

Of course, even if you find out, don't be afraid, Ireen has a way to solve it. Although she really didn't understand why the king attacked the Duchy of Besil in this way, it was undoubtedly the best opportunity now.

As long as she defeats the king once, then she will successfully defend the Belhill family.

"There shouldn't be any problems. She gritted her teeth and said to herself, "Yes, I will definitely be able to defend the Belsil family!"

"Miss Irene! Baron Gray has been found!" said Mike, panting.

Irene turned her head suddenly, but she seemed to feel that she was a little out of shape, and hurriedly collected her thoughts and said, "Where did you find it?"

"Just outside the camp. ”

"Bring me where he is. ”

"Yes!"

"Miss Irene......" said Robles.

Irene sighed lightly, "Gray is my lucky knight, I'm relieved to have him here." ”

Soon, Gray was brought to her. It was pushed over, and it seemed to be a little flustered.

"What are you doing?" said Irene, as she dismissed the soldiers who were pushing Gray.

Gray watched her quietly.

"It's good to be back, get ready to get on board. Just follow me. With that, Irene turned around and was about to walk onto the trestle.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

"Gray" suddenly roared, pulled out a dagger, took a step forward and hugged Irene from behind, pressed the dagger against Irene Throat, and strangled Irene back to the trestle.

All of a sudden, the whole scene was chaotic, and everyone was dumbfounded. One by one, the swords were quickly unsheathed.

"Gray, what are you going to do——!" Halls roared first.

"You're not Gray. Irene gasped heavily, staring at her captor out of the corner of her eye.

"I didn't say I was. A hoarse voice rang out, and the man in the same armor as Gray giggled and said, "How did you come up with the idea of leaving someone in the army who no one had ever seen his real face?" It's not too easy to pretend to be him. Hahahaha. ”

Irene stared at each other in horror with wide eyes.

......

At this moment, the real Gray was still lying on the lawn where he and Shelley were picnic and staring at the sky in a daze.
