Because of this attack at the South Gate, the case of the dwarven convoy encountering bandits has risen to a new level.

Although Roy and the others have been questioned before. However, when they arrived in the army, they were still arranged in a separate room to be questioned, and they told in detail about the encounter with bandits and the attack on the south gate. And these are recorded as testimony after they take the oath.

This time, Lulian sent more than 20 clerks, hundreds of sergeants, and more than a dozen public and criminal law officers, large and small, and the atmosphere was severe and tense.

It is said that the attack on the South Gate angered Archduke Adolf. Not only did he order a city-wide search. Moreover, they immediately summoned representatives and responsible persons of major aristocratic families and chaebol forces, and issued a subtle and stern warning in the form of reporting the case and asking for assistance in the investigation.

At the same time, the search for the escaped murderers is also underway. Not only did the Munyi City Guard come out, but even the Bavarian Knights and the Coastal Mercenaries joined them. At every intersection in the city, soldiers were inspected, and heavily armed knights moved back and forth as if they were facing a great enemy.

And just as Roy and the others were being questioned, dozens of knights gathered around a group of carriages and drove into the barracks quickly.

The carriage stopped, and the nine lords of Lulian hurriedly got out of the carriage and met with Fano and other Lulian generals who were waiting. They had come on the orders of Adolf to form a court of nobles to investigate and try the case.

"Marquise Joyce, Marquis of Engels......" Fano said simply after greeting these lords who represented the top nobles of Lulian one by one, "please follow me." ”

The lords followed behind Fano and Avery through the hallway with stern expressions.

"General Fano," asked Mrs. Joyce, "is there any news of the escapees?"

"Not yet. Fano shook his head. "The background of these guys is not simple, there should be someone to pick them up, and there are hidden places in the city. ”

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly: "You should also know that there are some places that we can't search at will. ”

The lords glanced at each other. The expressions are a little solemn.

The identities of these attackers are not difficult to guess. Everyone can be sure that they are people who have gathered under the hands of some family or chaebol power in the city of Muni.

However, in the absence of direct evidence, even Fano could not directly lead troops to break in and search.

"I heard that we have caught a magician and a knight of glory?" asked the Marquis of Engels, who was walking beside Madame Joyce, in a deep voice, "have they spoken?"

Engels was an important minister under Adolf. All the while, he followed Adolf everywhere in battle.

He was tall, with a square face that was not angry, and he was a man of integrity and fortitude, and he was very prestigious among the lords of Loulian. Especially during the period when Adolf was defeated and trapped, Engels never gave up, led his soldiers to bloody killing, and repelled the enemy's attacks several times. Meritorious service.

This time, Adolf sent him directly. It can be seen that the importance attached to this matter is obtained.

"This ......," Fano said with a slight frown, "Actually, I have caught someone, and it is not difficult to get an answer." But the question is......" he looked around, "is this answer, should we be better or not?"

The lords listened. There was silence for a moment.

Indeed, as Fano said, since someone has been caught, as long as the other party is not a well-trained dead soldier, there are ten thousand ways to make them speak. Sentenced, or less than three minutes. This guy with a weak constitution will confess all the bedwetting when he was a child.

But what about speaking out?

Some things don't necessarily benefit from knowing the truth. On the contrary, these truths may put Lulian in a dilemma.

You must know that the people gathered in Lulian now are all wealthy families from all over the Salvation Continent. Many families have extremely deep heritage and strength, and their power is huge.

As the smallest of the five principalities of the Solan Empire, Lulian was the weakest. Especially after more than a year of war, the land was deserted and the people's livelihood withered, and Adolf almost emptied his family.

At this moment, Lulian finally relied on the bloody battle from top to bottom, and only then did he get a little time to recuperate and recuperate. If for some reason the hard-won peace and tranquility were broken, it would be a blow that the whole Principality could not bear.

After being silent for a while, Engels nodded and said slowly: "From a rational point of view, this is indeed worth our concern. However, I think that as knights and nobles, we should think more about glory and dignity than politics and interests!"

He looked around: "Lulian may not be strong. But don't forget, we defeated the Philerites, and the Lanrees planted a fight here. Think of our valiant warriors, think of what we've been through over the past year or so, and what else is there to fear?"

Engels's voice echoed through the silent corridor.

When he reached the iron fence leading to the prison, Engels stopped in front of the guards and turned his head: "Do you remember the black-haired boy?"

The lords looked solemn and nodded.

They knew who Engels was talking about. Perhaps in this continent shrouded in the divine light of the Heavenly Kingdom, the name of that young man has become a taboo. However, in their minds, this young man is a hero who saved Lulian, and also saved everyone and every family here.

It's hard for them to imagine what they would have become without Roy.

Families are ruined, wives are separated, and this kind of thing has happened to too many Lulians. Not so long ago, these disasters were so close to themselves that they were almost within reach.

It was Roy, who, in a near-hopeless situation, brought about a miracle. It was this teenager who, at the most critical moment, stood in the most critical position and turned the tide.

After the war, the lords returned to their realms.

They are frightened when they see the quiet castle in the morning light, the people who live peacefully and work hard, the children chasing and playing, and the wives and families who rush to hug them.

Just a little bit, they lost this qiē.

When they put their arms around their daughters and tell them stories, when they tour their territory and nod to the saluting people, when they sit at the table. When they looked at the gentle wife and the servants who walked by, they couldn't help but be grateful to Roy.

Grateful for what he has done for this land, these people.

That war had engraved the name of that black-haired boy on the heart of every Lurian. carved into the land. Even if he is punished by heaven, even if he is condemned as a heretic by the heavenly envoy. It will not affect his status in everyone's minds in the slightest.

"I've been telling myself that we can't even be inferior to an eighteen-year-old. The courage he showed would have made me ashamed of every hint of cowardice and hesitation I had for those damned reasons. ”

As he spoke, Engels pushed open the iron door.

"This time, no matter who is behind the scenes, we must defend the justice, glory and dignity of Lulian ourselves. From the moment they killed our soldiers, they were already our enemies. They are the ones who should be afraid. And not us!"

Engels stood in the doorway, looking sideways at the lords.

In silence, Mrs. Joyce smiled slightly, signaled to Engels, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked in elegantly. Behind them, the lords glanced at each other, and they all rushed in without hesitation.

When Fano walked at the end, he passed by Engels. Engels raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "General Fano." Now, you won't doubt our resolve anymore, will you?"

"I don't mean to be suspicious, just to warn of the consequences," Fano laughed, "I knew you wouldn't care." ”

"Get in!" Engels sneered as he pushed him through the door. "Don't come to this set. I don't know you yet, but what are your plans?"

"Of course it's a tooth for a tooth," Fano sneered, "To be honest, this demon invasion is coming. Since His Majesty has issued an order to summon the lords from all over the country to transfer troops to the north, we Lulian naturally cannot avoid it. In every way, we want the support of these aliens..."

He walked side by side with Engels, went down the gloomy revolving stone staircase, and said: "After all, we have just fought a battle with the Filies, and the three directly subordinate armies have lost more than half of their personnel. There aren't many private armies left under your lords' commands. And if you really want to go north and play with the demons, the ones who will be drawn must be the elite of the elite, and let's count, how many people can we come up with?"

Engels nodded solemnly.

Although Lulian is located in the south of the continent, he still has an unshirkable responsibility in the war against the demon race, which is related to the life and death of all mankind. Soon after, Grand Duke Adolf will personally lead the army to the north to join the ranks of the Solan Empire army fighting against the demons.

And this war is different from the previous fight against the Filipino invasion.

With the invasion of the demons, the traditional form of war has been profoundly changed. The main forces of the warring sides are no longer legions dominated by ordinary soldiers. Rather, it is an elite army led by a powerhouse of the Holy Domain. The duel between the strong will decide the outcome of the war on a large scale.

And the other soldiers, even if they are only performing logistical support and garrison tasks, are at least knights above the level of bravery. Ordinary people do not play any role at all in such a war.

Lulian was not originally a place rich in knights, and the number of high-ranking knights was extremely small. Coupled with a war that lasted for nearly two years, Lulian was already in a state of devastation. Therefore, Grand Duke Adolf was tormented by this expedition. The list of candidates for selection is discussed every day.

Under such circumstances, it would be self-deception to say that Lulian was not moved by the power of these alien races.

"But," Fano said, "I also know that with our current strength in Lulian, there really is no way to compete with those guys. The two principalities of Sinasiri and Saxony are stronger than us. It didn't hurt the muscles and bones, and we couldn't open the price they offered. ”

Fano wrenched his fingers: "Even if these two strong rivals are removed, there are also Donald's gang, as well as the four major families of the imperial capital, as well as the nobles and chaebols of several regions that are now united......"

He counted, sighed dejectedly, and said, "Forget it, the Grand Duke understood better than us at the beginning. I don't expect these aliens to take refuge in our Lulian. However, we can't argue, we can even stand by and watch these guys toss with those unseemly means..."

Speaking of this, Fano was already murderous: "But if they want to provoke us, then even if they are blind! Even if their backstage is the Heavenly King Laozi, they have to hand over the murderers who killed the guards of my Muni City to me!" ...... Restore fù update, ask for a monthly ticket!
