Avery paced back and forth like a trapped beast.

Several officers of the Muni City Guard whispered to the side with stern expressions. Agul and Debata sat at a heavy, old wooden table, waiting, sipping rum.

The light of the fire flickered, reflecting on everyone's faces, flickering and dimming.

"What the hell is going on?" Avery asked from the moment he entered the room. At this time, I couldn't help it again.

He stopped abruptly beside Agul, his eyes reddening.

"Who told you that Lord Eugene had gone to see Mrs. Joyce, and why did you say it was a trap? Who are we waiting for here?"

One question after another smashed at Aguli like a cannon, looking at his violently undulating chest, it seemed that if Aguli didn't answer, he was about to explode!

The officers around him also looked at Agul closely. Everyone's expressions were extremely nervous.

It wasn't until just now that they learned the news from Avery Mouth. As soon as they heard that this private meeting between Eugene and Mrs. Joyce was a trap, everyone blew up.

You must know that the current Lulian is in a crisis of life and death. Whether it was for the Empire of St. Soran, for the Grand Duke of Adolf, or for the millions of people of Lulian, this was a war that could never be lost.

Once defeated, I don't know how many soldiers will be buried under the butcher's knife, I don't know how many homes will be turned into ruins, and how many civilian wives and families will be scattered.

The same is true for the nobles who rule the land. In fact, they and their families are the biggest beneficiaries of this land. Even if it's just to protect one's territory, to protect one's power, status and wealth. They should also fight to the death against the invaders.

But now, instead of uniting to fight the Firetes and rescue the besieged Archduke Adolf, they are in cahoots with the ill-intentioned Lanriths. Daydreaming, delusional hopes of continuing their wealth and glory by taking refuge in the Lanris.

Only the truly visionary knows. This is just to lure the wolf into the house and drink to quench the thirst.

Neither the Philes nor the Lanris are a good thing. If they become the rulers of the land, these nobles will understand what a foolish mistake it is to not take their own destiny into their own hands, but to hand it over to someone else.

This time, Eugene went to meet Mrs. Joyce in the hope of making one last effort. I hope to convince the nobles to recognize the shape and join hands. Fight.

It was not that he had no foresight of the danger of his situation. It's just that, compared to the overall situation, he is more willing to put life and death aside, and he is more willing to believe that these lords who once swore allegiance to the empire and the Grand Duke of Adolf, and swore to honor the honor of nobles and knights, still have a trace of loyalty and integrity.

I didn't think about it.........

The officers were in a hurry. They looked anxiously at Agul, hoping that he would give them a definite answer. Keep them informed. In order to discuss countermeasures or go directly to the rescue of General Eugene, instead of sitting here stupidly waiting for someone to arrive.

Although they are vaguely accused of this rabble. The mysterious figures who control high-ranking knights like Aguli and Debata are also curious. But now the situation is urgent, and every minute counts. No one is as important as time.

And at this time, the door of the room was pushed open.

The glow of a butter candle. The wind that was swept in swayed. In the candlelight that threw himself out of the door, a thin boy, surrounded by a knight and two guards, walked in.

"Young Master. As soon as he saw the young man walking in, Agul and Debata stood up at the same time and saluted.

Avery and the officers were staring at the two of them. Huo Ran turned his head and looked at the young man. When they saw the young man's face and the knight beside him who looked like a faithful and humble retinue, gradually everyone's eyes widened. This kid is ......

"Roy, that's right, he's Roy. ”

"What's going on, that's Herman, how did he ......"

Everyone was a little confused.

Roy, who was supposed to be in a prison cell, appeared in front of them like a boy next door who was free to visit the door, but Herman, who was supposed to be in control of his life and death, stood so humbly in the position of his entourage.

If this wasn't shocking enough, then the sound of Aguli and Debata's young master was like a thunderbolt, shaking everyone stupid.

Aguli and Debata, what kind of characters they are, they know very well.

They are not only powerful knights of glory, but also veterans who have fought bloody battles with the Filiet army on the border for many years, and walked out of the sea of corpses and blood. Whether it is strength, military exploits, fame or qualifications, even Avery can't compare. When they met, he also had to call him an adult respectfully. And the hundreds of wolves of those rabble are even more obedient to them. Even the mutiny surrounding the logistics escort team and other things that may lose their heads, they also followed!

There have been all kinds of speculations about the people standing behind Aguli and Debata. These speculations include the royal family, including a certain nobleman or a certain force in the imperial capital, and even the border army and the Ministry of Supervision, etc.

But no one expected that it would be Roy - this poor first-year freshman in the first training camp who was locked up in a dungeon and lived and died at the hands of others!

Avery, in particular, was even more dumbfounded.

No one knew that just a second before the door was pushed open, he was also ready to force the logistics escort team to release Roy, and even directly ask the Ministry of Justice to send someone to take Roy away, in exchange for Aguli's information.

But who knows, before the words came out, this young man who was used as a bargaining chip by him appeared in front of him in this way.

Master!

Did you really hear me right?

The main messenger behind the scenes, who has been guessed by everyone countless times, turned out to be him?!

How is this possible?

"Young Master," Agully said, walking up to Roy, "this is Sir Avery. Captain of the Fifth Captain of the Knights of the Knights of the Mooney City Guard, and the deputy commander of the coalition forces. ”

Roy nodded and saluted Avery. "Hello, Sir Avery Eyver. ”

"You...... Hello......" Eflori looked at the young man with a confused face and a somewhat restrained demeanor, and did not believe that he was the master of the allegiance of a strong man like Agul.

However, Roy didn't give Avery much time to dwell on the issue, and he nodded his head to the officers present. Then he said to Herman behind him: "Mr. Herman, tell everyone what you just told me again." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Herman.

Although Avery and the others still didn't know how this high-ranking knight on the aristocratic side had become this mentally ill follower beside Roy, they could all see that this glorious knight, whose body and fighting spirit were not restricted in any way, seemed to be afraid of something.

Herman began to confess.

Herman is the chief knight under Count Natasha, and not only has the strength of a glorious star. And for many years, he has maintained a secret underground lover relationship with Natasha. The intimate and trusting Cheng Dù even far surpassed Natasha's last two short-lived husbands.

Therefore, after receiving Schilling's instructions, the first person Natasha found was Herman.

After meeting Herman, Natasha told him what Schilling had said. Except for instructing him to kill Roy. Also on the attack on Eugene, in the candidate. The location and some details were consulted about his construction.

The meeting place for Eugene and Mrs. Joyce was chosen at one of Joyce's estates in the Wallen district east of the city. It was the property of Mrs. Joyce's family in the early years, because it was worth only two or three thousand gold francs, and the land was narrow and the house was small. On weekdays, they were taken care of by the butler, and Mrs. Joyce herself never went once.

It was chosen because it is located at the junction of the rich and the common. The road is accessible, but it is quiet and secluded, and it is a good place for secret meetings.

But now. The estate, Shannon, has become a dead place.

The nobles led by Natasha and Wells and their knights have surrounded Shannon Manor, and the woods next to the manor and another manor not far away are ambushed by the most elite knights in the hands of the nobles. And everyone, including Mrs. Joyce's butler, has been bought.

This meant that as long as Eugene entered the manor, it would be impossible for Mrs. Joyce to let him go.

With the pen and paper on the table, Herman drew a simple topographical map of the manor, and then marked the number and strength of the ambushers.

By the time Herman put down the pen and paper, Avery and the knights around him had fallen into a dead silence.

In order to deal with Eugene, the nobles have made a bloody investment this time.

They mobilized almost all the forces they could muster. Herman alone knew of four Knights of Glory and more than twenty Knights of Justice. And these forces were originally the main forces that Avery had been wary of, and it was possible that after the two sides turned their faces, the other party put in!

And that's not even counting the power in Mrs. Joyce's hands.

As the most powerful leader of the aristocracy, the power in the hands of Lady Joyce has always felt unfathomable. Once she had a secret meeting with Eugene, forced by the situation, and joined the nobles who launched the attack, it was almost impossible for General Eugene to have any chance of survival.

The only thing that is fortunate is that in order to avoid the notoriety and leverage of the Lanrith family to directly lead the rebellion, Schilling does not intend to use the force at his disposal. He will maintain this formidable deterrent force of the Knights of Ranris who have gone south, and lead the rebellion as a bystander and an "impartial intervener" in an emergency, until the dust settles tomorrow.

However, whether the Lanrees were directly involved or not was no longer important to Avery and them. The map Herman had in his hand and the power configuration on it alone was enough to plunge them into despair.

Excluding the long knights who were sent to the surrounding area, there were only about forty long knights in Avery's hands now. Coupled with themselves and the commanders of the battalions, if they were all dispatched, they might be able to compete with the power used by the nobles. However, this also means that the barracks will be unguarded.

At the same time, such a large-scale operation could not be concealed from the generals of the aristocratic private army. Once the knights of Eugene's family galloped out of the camp in full armor, it effectively meant an open civil war.

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the icy water.

Thinking back to Eugene's words when he left, it's clear that he asked Avery after he had an accident. Protecting the city of Muni from falling into the hands of traitors is because he has long known that with the knightly power in Avery's hands, it is simply impossible to rescue him.

The only thing Avery could do was to take the place of justice after the nobles openly rebelled. Defend the barracks and city gates, lead the Muni City Guard and the army loyal to Archduke Adolf, and wait for the return of General Fano's army.

It's relatively easy than a firefight that could wipe out all of your high-ranking knights and officers, or a full-blown civil war.

In the room, there was no sound, only the sudden dancing of butter candles, making a subtle beeping sound.

Avery slammed his fist on the table!

What should I do?!Will I send troops to rescue Eugene at any cost, or will I watch him fall into the hands of the enemy and carry out his orders?

Avery had never been more confused and miserable.

Knowing that Eugene was in danger. If he wants to stand by and watch, he can't do it. However, if it is rescued, let's not mention the consequences, but the difference in strength between the two sides is an insurmountable obstacle.

This is not a war in which ordinary soldiers and low-ranking knights can participate. Nor is it an open, open-minded showdown.

It's a silent contest hidden in the night!

Both sides fight with the highest card in their respective hands!

Avery turned his head to look around, and it was up to him and his men. How is it possible to save Eugene?!

In despair, suddenly. A tender voice rang in the ears of him and his subordinates.

"Mr. Avery, rescue General Eugene, I have a plan......"

Everyone looked up, but saw the black-haired young man with a confused smile. Somewhat reservedly, he said, "I'll lead our men to Shannon Manor." I don't think it's too difficult to rescue General Eugene, you just need to wait for the result with peace of mind......"

The officers looked at the boy talking to himself in a daze. I couldn't come back to my senses for a while.

Wait, what is he talking about?!

He leads his men. To save General Eugene?

Nothing difficult?

What does that mean?

You know, as early as a few days ago, General Eugene already knew the news of the possible betrayal of Joyce and other nobles.

The reason why the general has not dared to launch large-scale arrests and purges is because he has concentrated a brigade of long knights and many noble lords loyal to Archduke Adolf, and they can only match the high-ranking knights with Mrs. Joyce's group.

If this is not the case, why should the general hesitate to strike first, why should he be afraid to fight to the death with the other party, and why should he risk his life for that glimmer of opportunity?

Now, this kid actually said that this is not a difficult thing to do. What's even more ridiculous is that the implication of his words doesn't seem to be his own people, he just needs to lead people there.

Avery and the officers looked at each other and couldn't help but frown.

Although they also admit that the scene they saw today gave them a considerable shock. They never dreamed that a young man who seemed to be slaughtered by others would be the master of strong men like Aguli and Debata, and moreover, he was still controlling the rabble army behind the scenes, and even Herman was obviously planted in his hands.

However, this kid is still too confident. You know, even if Aguli and Debata are strong. But there were only two of them. Even if you add those rabble knights that everyone has seen before, it is impossible to be the opponent of the elite knights under the nobility.

Just when Avery felt the need to use the information he had to remind Roy of how strong the opponent was, he saw Roy smile at him, showing a few white teeth, and then beckoned behind him, saying, "Mr. Alston and Mr. Algernon, will go with us." ”

These are two unfamiliar names.

What made the officers even more shocked was that the two guards who came out from behind Roy corresponded to these two names.

The faces of the guards were illuminated by the flickering firelight.

These are two ordinary faces. The lower edge of the helmet, which covers most of their foreheads, and the ear guards that protrude from the ears to the cheeks, so that only the front part of their face is exposed.

The one on the left looks taller, thin, and fairly handsome. The other, on the other hand, was shorter and stocky, with a pair of bull's eyes and a large fleshy nose, and a full beard.

These two ......

The officers looked at each other head-on, not knowing why. But he was surprised to see Aguli and Debata bowing respectfully, saluting these two with the etiquette of a low-ranking knight to a high-ranking knight.

And with their salutation, the two seemingly ordinary guards suddenly let go of their restrained aura.

Two powerful coercions, like a storm in the snowfield, swept across the room. Under the shroud of this terrifying aura, only a series of bang-bang sounds were heard, and the tables, chairs and benches in the room were all staggered by the fighting spirit that broke out unconsciously by Avery and the others.

Knights of Light! It turned out to be two Knights of Light!

Avery and the officers were all dumbfounded, their hearts pounding. For a moment, I only felt that the hairs all over my body were as if they had been hit by a swimming electric current, and they were upside down.

They never dreamed that the two guards who followed Roy would actually be two Great Knights of Light - the Great Knights of Light, who have a small domain, have sixteen battle rings, and can sweep through a small army by one person, no matter where they are placed, they can be called the top powerhouses!

At this moment, everyone only felt that their minds were completely confused and blank.

I don't know how long it took for their gaze to slowly move from the bodies of the two knights of light to the faces of the black-haired young man in front of them.

Looking at the confused and restrained smiles, the officers' eyes were full of shock, appallation, disbelief and a kind of ecstasy brought about by the boiling blood, slowly rising!

No wonder this kid was caught in a cell and was able to swagger out on his own.

No wonder from beginning to end, Aguli and Debata only surrounded the logistics escort, but did not make a move.

No wonder Herman is so disciplined and honest.

No wonder he told himself so calmly and calmly that he would take people to rescue General Eugene, and just let his people wait here.

It turned out that in his hands, he held such a powerful power, and it could even be said that in the current Muni City, it could be called an unbeatable power!

The Holy Emperor is above...... (To be continued......)
