The matter of pretending to be a man with illusion, even if it is temporarily revealed. Luo Ming didn't ask, and Sherlock didn't say anything more.

In fact, as long as Luo Ming is tight-lipped, this incident is no different from not happening.

Luo Ming knew that after all, there were so many mysteries in the world, and if he investigated them one by one, it would be impossible to find out all the lives of mortals. The more knowledge a person has, the more ignorant he will be.

In the instinct of the superior, Sherlock has not completely let go of Luo Ming, but she has also cleverly and selectively forgotten about it. It's a big deal to wait until this incident is over, and then I can't interfere with the current situation because of this.

============================

The next day, early in the morning.

The sun rises below the horizon, and the crowing of roosters brings life back to the earth.

The two pastors and their assistants prepared good food, which could be said to be a delight for the guests and hosts.

After all, the temple has always received no less offerings, and the food can be compared to the level of the nobility, and in this temple, the attendants of these gods will definitely not have the courage to poison, which is blasphemy.

After that, they lingered in the temple and waited for a long time.

Yesterday Sir Severn sent another messenger to the knights in the night, and told them of the Cultist's appearance. In such a major matter as the survival of the territory, they had to get serious.

Early in the morning, a group of people and horses came to gather outside the town, and several different flags fluttered there, vaguely with some momentum.

The townspeople pointed out and talked about this, until Sherlock himself stood up, rode his horse from the temple to the outside of the town, and let many people see his appearance, that the restless minds of the crowd were calmed.

To be honest, the common people in these years, although they have their own cunning, are still relatively naïve in looking at the lord. They do not know what human rights and what dictatorship there is, they only know that it is their duty to support the lord, and at best they complain that this lord is not as generous as that lord, or that they are proud of an outstanding lord.

Of course, Sherlock looks like a child, but the child is just right. There is no arrogance and impersonal feelings, the image of a simple, handsome and cheerful young man makes the residents of the town feel close at a glance, and the baron has involved her in the handling of many events when he trained her in the past, and everyone knows her. At this moment, some people have already begun to shout in advance for Lord Baron.

"Looks like you've made the right choice. ”

"The heir personally chosen by the Baron Lord has been taught by hand for so many years, who should I support if I don't support him?

It's you, who used to talk about neutrality, why are you running here again?"

On a hill outside the town, two knights were talking.

"Originally, it was just a family dispute between a few heirs, and this kind of thing often happened among nobles, and in the end, no matter who was in power, it was impossible to do anything to us landed vassals, and they had to rely on us.

But that's different now...... Collusion with cultists is a felony. If we leave it alone, we may suffer ourselves. ”

The knight, who had intended to be a spectator from the wall, sighed: "What a foolishness, to be tainted with the color of a cult, isn't this just pushing us in the direction of Sherlock?"

"Oh, look, they're coming. As vassals, let's go and greet them. ”

With that, the two of them rode down the hill and headed in the direction Sherlock had arrived.

According to the laws of the principality, every knight should provide a certain amount of military assistance to his feudal lord in time of war, including weapons, food, and logistics personnel...... And, of course, most importantly, the soldiers.

The first knight brought with him two cavalrymen, eight infantrymen, and two archers, well equipped and well-groomed, followed by twelve peasant soldiers with spears.

And the second knight brought a cavalry, five infantrymen...... Perhaps in order to save money, he also brought more than 20 peasant soldiers to fill the number. However, even if there are only peasant soldiers, it is not bad, after all, there is always an advantage in numbers.

The third knight did not come in person - he inherited his father's title, and now he is far from coming of age, and his mother is in charge of the affairs of the family. This family has a good relationship with Sherlock, and the number of people sent is not less than the first two, and the quality is not bad.

But the fourth knight in the barony didn't send even a single one, and it seemed that he was determined to be strictly neutral, and even went along with the other party.

Although the baron's butler is also a knight like Severn, he is a civil official after all, and he has mainly worried about the affairs of the main family all his life, and he has not trained many people. He had only sent two soldiers with six peasant soldiers to show his face—he himself was still fighting with Sherlock's cousins, and he couldn't send too many people here for his own safety.

In any case, this made a team of almost two hundred people.

Drawing out a part of the men brought by these knights to be the overseers, you can rest assured and bold that those captured bandits can only move forward with their lives. The Warlords may be hesitant to cut down the villagers, but they will never be soft on these bandits who don't know anything about them. In the same way, the bandits will not know the soldiers on the other side, and they will have to fight to the death if they rush forward, and they will not be like the peasant soldiers, who will retreat after pretending to fight twice after encountering, taking into account the affection of the villagers.

There are two knights here, and Sir Thein is also a soldier, and even Sherlock is not the only one who knows a lot. So Luo Ming got through it at one point.

However, the arrangement of arrays is the arrangement of arrays, and it is not yet time to go to war. Even sworn enemies tend to blame each other for a while before declaring war. What's more, this is nominally an internal matter of a family inheritance dispute?

So when the army was still a kilometer from the baron's castle, it stopped and set up camp.

And the castle gates were closed, and it was obvious that it was going to resist.

One of the servants rode away with Sherlock's brief letter towards the baron's castle.

Hundreds of men spread out outside the castle, which made the castle defenders uneasy - even if the baron himself lived, there would not be more than twenty people stationed on a normal day. Fearing that they would lose their will to fight in the face of Sherlock, they confiscated their weapons and temporarily found more than 20 people to replace the task of defending the city, and there were 200 people on the opposite side, so even a brutal attack without using their brains could be victorious. If you only besiege the city without attacking it, you may starve them all to death.
