Chapter 208: Duke Leonard
In the darkness of the night, the people awakened by the sound of the bells looked out of their windows with fear, and in the light of the moon, the cavalry roared by, and behind these cavalry, the infantry ran forward with neat steps and marched in a hurry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Many people have never seen the city guards marching in the city, and I am afraid that only those who are a little older, the old residents of Shenghui City, still have relevant memories.
And Duke Leonard took the lead, leading the 1st Cavalry Wing, galloping all the way towards the Hawley district, and when they reached the gates of the Manny and Hawley districts, they noticed something unusual.
Several soldiers in ordinary uniforms lay on the ground, looking at them as if they were more than lucky, and behind them, the city gates were wide open, and there was no barrier between the two areas.
"It looks like it was raided and the gates were taken. Behind him, the chief of staff analyzed.
Duke Leonard nodded, it was the obvious thing, "Let's see if there are any survivors." He ordered, although the situation is urgent, it is the norm in the army not to die without saving friendly troops.
Several elite scouts dismounted in response and quickly checked, they moved quickly, their hands and feet were neat, but in a moment they made a discovery, "Report to the general, there is a survivor, the other soldiers have been killed, we are bandaging the wounded, he is seriously wounded." ”
Duke Leonard immediately ordered: "Leave a small team to take care of it, you immediately go and notify the military doctor of the rear team to come, and the rest of the people continue to advance." With his order, the 1st Cavalry Wing passed through the city gate and continued to advance.
Now is a race against time, and there can be no momentary delay.
It's just that when I entered the Hawley district, everything was completely different from what Duke Leonard expected, there was no fire, no thugs, no fighting and screams, the Hawley district was still the same Hawley district, but there were many more people on the road, they pointed and pointed, as if people were not sleeping, and ran out.
It's just that the sudden appearance of the army really scared everyone.
The clock had stopped ringing as if nothing had happened. Duke Leonard didn't dare to be careless, he frowned, remembering what Aaron had warned him about, "That kid is not a man of gibberish. ", he said to himself.
Immediately, he led the cavalry to the Shenghui Avenue, and the next scene made him unable to forget it for a long time, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves.
The Avenue of Radiance, which represents the glory and history of the kingdom, gathers the most powerful nobles of the Kingdom of St. Tereland, named after the city, and in a sense, symbolizes the City of Radiance, and suddenly trembled violently, as if there was going to be some natural disaster.
The originally docile mounts all became irritable and almost uncontrollable, and if it weren't for the fact that the cavalry of the First Cavalry Wing were all good at equestrianism, some of them would have to be pushed down on the spot.
Then, in front of everyone, a large three-story mansion collapsed.
It's like a castle of sand built by children, and it can easily collapse. At first, the ground there was torn apart like a scone for breakfast, and then it was like a rag, kneading it haphazardly, and the whole ground was uneven, as if it had been twisted and destroyed by a big hand.
The other murderer shook like a toy, and cracks began to appear on the surface, and finally the whole house could no longer support it as the foundation moved, and collapsed from the bottom to the top.
The castle, like sand, melted away as if it had been watered.
"Fuck. Duke Leonard, who is a nobleman, scolded a foul language, even if it was the bloody night of the imperial capital back then, the fire that displaced countless people, Duke Leonard had never seen such an outrageous thing.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
Everyone was stunned, including the mounts under their crotches, which seemed to be shocked, and there were more and more nobles gathered on the road, wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothes and covered in jewels, as if the nobles of the entire Hawley district had gathered here.
Duke Leonard had experienced a lot of wind and waves, and he immediately reacted from the shock: now is the most critical moment, there are so many nobles gathered here, and it seems that each of them is not small, if someone has bad intentions and leads to the death of a few, then the entire kingdom of St. Teresa will be in chaos.
"Dismount, watch!", he commanded in a loud voice, and the cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Wing all dispersed and began to be on guard. The nobles who noticed them were a little confused, after all, they hadn't seen real soldiers in Hawley for many years, and even some politically sensitive guys began to think crankily: "Isn't there something happened in the palace, and the bell is to summon the city guards to come to King Qin?"
Looking at the somewhat chaotic scene, Duke Leonard cursed again and shouted, "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
"Maybe I'll be able to clear up your doubts below. Someone responded.
Duke Leonard fixed his eyes on two young men walking towards him, but they looked very embarrassed.
One of them, Duke Leonard, recognized it as Aaron Adrian, and the other saluted him with a noble salute, "Good day, Lord Leonard, and below you is Marquis El Edward." ”
"The unfortunate owner of this poor mansion. ”
......
Compared to the rapid response of the city guards, the response of the Police Department was much slower, and it took a long time for Director Scott to arrive with dozens of police officers. In the face of Al, a great nobleman, Director Scott's posture was very low, and after hearing Al say that someone had sabotage, he first expressed his condemnation of the criminals and his determination to bring them to justice, and then subtly expressed his respect and longing for the Iron Thorn Family.
Unlike Aaron, Director Scott, who is also a commoner, seems to be completely integrated into the aristocracy, and he is no different from a minor nobleman at this time.
As for the police department's questioning, Al was very cooperative, because he knew that these transcripts were not only for Director Scott's view, but also for the appearance of Grievous the Great and the noble Elders' house, so he adopted a strategy of seven truths and three falsehoods, concealing his plan to lure the snake out of the hole, but describing himself as a hunting joy for a mage genius, and inadvertently breaking a huge mysterious organization entrenched in the Holy Radiance City, of course, those speculations about the collusion between Director Scott and the mysterious organization and the prince were all concealed and never mentioned。
