Soon it was the day of the July Flower Festival, which was the evening of the last day of June.

Far exceeding Philip's estimates, a full half a million people have gathered from far and wide to this beautiful flower capital.

On the afternoon of the opening ceremony, not only were all the hotels full, but even the city hall had to divide a large open space and place a lot of temporary tents to finally solve the problem of accommodation and toilets.

At the same time, this also allowed the permanent residents of Lily Villa to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the goods that had been hoarded for a year were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.

Philip, Sam, and another cadet, Neville, formed a patrol squadron that was stationed at the entrance to the plaza where the opening ceremony was held, dressed in neat armor and conscientiously acting as a proper mascot.

Neville is very popular because he was born with a pair of smiling eyes and a likable nature.

But that's not the main reason why Philip chose him as his partner.

Even though Neville was born in the southwestern province of the Wardsman Empire and was naturally in the same camp as Philip, it took a lot of effort for Philip to snatch Neville's right to partner with a group of people.

Don't look at other people's small eyes, but small eyes focus on light, Neville's innate ability in addition to the second-level speed and family martial arts skills, but also has extremely strong eyesight.

His enhanced vision, unlike ordinary farsightedness or dynamic vision, is reflected in the observation of details of objects.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if he wanted to, he could instantly see the slightly open heart of the charming young woman 50 meters away from where he was standing now, depict in detail the delicate pattern on the surface of the small copper buckle on the lining, or count the facial expressions of the no less than 20 tourists in the hotel lobby opposite within three breaths, which are not less natural and very perverted.

Philip and Duke may have far better eyesight, but they can't be as fast and accurate as Neville.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was also a cadet of the Knight Branch, Philip would have wanted to recruit him as his follower, because this ability is too practical in the battlefield of counter-terrorism.

"This group of aunts is so welcoming. Sam easily coped with the middle-aged and elderly tour group who came up to take a group photo, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he didn't complain about wearing a full suit of armor in such a hot weather, and if it weren't for the protection of this hard metal, his upright ass might have been pinched and swollen by now.

Philip and Neville were also sweating profusely, and even though they were in excellent shape, they still felt a little collapsed when they stood in the naked sun in heavy armor for an entire afternoon during the hottest season of the year.

Today was the first day of official duty, and the situation on the scene was completely different from what they had expected, the noisy atmosphere, the crowded crowd, the excitement of the adults and the snacks in the hands of the children, coupled with the rich fragrance of flowers in the air, the whole city had turned into a super large bazaar, not in the slightest with the terrorist attack that they had feared before.

Fortunately, in another hour, the sun will set completely, and at that time the city defense will be taken over by the local temple forces, who will participate in the opening ceremony as a guard of honor, which is a small break.

"Neville, notice the eight o'clock bearing, 60 meters away, the man in the blue jacket, he seems to have something in his arms. Philip snapped reminded.

"Don't worry, it's supposed to be an oil cake, and the shirt is soaked in oil.

Wearing a jacket in such a hot weather, I don't know what he thinks, now I'm afraid those oil cakes are already rancid.

So it's understandable that the expression is a little hideous, right? Neville explained disapprehantly.

"110 meters in front of ten o'clock, on the second floor window, there is a metallic reflection behind the pink curtains. Sam was also in the fun.

"Let me see, a small mirror on the dresser, round, with sapphire embellishments on it, well, the gem should be fake, maybe glass?

I said two big brothers, don't be so sensitive, okay, let me rest for a while, there is also a time limit for the ability to activate. Neville grumbled with a bitter face.

Sam snickered, and was about to start teasing, when Philip suddenly shouted, "It's still ten o'clock, the man in the checkered shirt, he seems to have a weapon attached to his waist." ”

"Losing my goal, being blocked by bunting and street walls, I can't turn a corner. ”

"I'll go up and check it out. Listening to Philip's tone, it didn't look like a joke, and Sam took the reins.

At this moment, Duke, who had been guarding behind Philip, suddenly stepped forward half a step forward and interjected: "It's a short knife, it's not good, he took it out." ”

"I'll go, Neville will spread out in formation, and Sam will stay where he is and watch for any accomplices around, ready to answer me.

Team 1, follow me. ”

At his command, Chand had already rushed out first, while Alet and Duke tightly guarded Philip from the left and right and ran forward.

Neville glanced at Duke as he galloped past him, then commanded his followers to shift into battle formation to follow.

Facing the crowded and crowded streets, Natalie, who was already bored, snorted excitedly and tossed and turned, only a few steps to the corner.

Although there were a few exclamations, not a single innocent tourist was encountered.

At this time, the man was with two accomplices, blocking a little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old in the blind corner, and the short knife in his hand had been raised.

Before Philip could give the order, an arrow was plunged into the back of the man's hand, nailing his hand to the street wall.

It was only then that the man reacted, and let out a miserable cry from his mouth, attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd, and Duke and the others turned around from the street corner.

No one could see how Duke's arrow was shot, as if it could turn around, which was completely inconsistent with the laws of physics, but Philip and the others looked calm, and it seemed that they had long been used to it.

The battle was over before it even began, but it was just three local ruffians, and the little girl who had been robbed didn't even have time to scream in fear, and the three bad guys who blocked her had already fallen to the ground.

The pink little face with a few cute freckles looked up at Philip's handsome face, revealing a hint of shyness and a little longing, as if she had become the heroine of romance.

After a brief transcript, the three unlucky men were taken back and thrown into a large cage surrounded by iron bars.

Sending away the reluctant little girl, who turned back three times in one step, and told her to find her family and friends as soon as possible, Philip returned to normal duty.

By dusk, the makeshift prison surrounded by iron bars had been filled with seven or eight unlucky ghosts, either petty thieves or street robbers.

Even Philip wondered a little, were these people stupid, so close to their own squadron, they dared to blatantly attack, one can imagine how bad the security in this small city must be on weekdays.

Finally, when it was time to assemble, he nodded and said hello to Robin, who met him, and Charlton and a few people greeted him.

Maybe they've gotten acquainted lately, but these guys have gotten a lot closer, often fooling around together, and even Robin, who has always been a bit out of place, has participated a few times.

"It's said you've done a good job today, ten unlucky guys. ”

Philip took off his helmet, and his long, flowing white-blond hair was now soaked, and it was reduced to locks hanging down to his ears.

"I don't think it's a good thing, it's weird.

There were also a few people whose hands and feet were not clean and were rude in the crowd, and we beat them up and let them go, otherwise the cage would not have fitted. ”

Charlton laughed: "This is also a feature of the July Flower Festival, and bastards from all over the world have come over to make a windfall.

It's a pity that they met us this year. ”

"As long as the sheriff here doesn't blame us for acting on our behalf. ”

"I guess it's too late for him to be happy, for we wish we had done all the duty during the festivities, so he had to hide and drink. ”

Philip smiled and nodded, and then took someone to wash up and change clothes.

It's strange if I don't mind, Philip always feels a little weird about today's events.

The Knights of the Templars, or the sheriff, the middle-aged fat man named Joey, whom Philip had seen before, had been a Templar warrior in this small city for more than ten years.

It is also said that he is also inextricably linked to Charlton's great-grandmother's family.

In his 50s, he has a fat head and big ears, and I don't know how he passed the three-year round of professional assessment, in short, he looks like a not very responsible old fritter.

If you warn those bastards in advance, I believe that although it will not be as good as He Qinghaiyan, at least it will not be as fearless as today.

But none of this is Philip's concern, as long as he gets through the past few days smoothly and then fulfills his promise to Sophia.

As the princess of the Wardsman Empire and the current supreme ruler of the southeastern provinces, Sophia's courtesy here is naturally transcendent.

Not only was he taken to the Grand Hotel next to the temple for guests, but he was also seated on the rostrum at the opening ceremony of the festival in the evening, accompanied by a female bishop from the Southern Temple.

While exchanging a word with the kind-looking bishop, Sophia searched the crowd for the familiar figure.

Anne and Miranda sat beside her, appreciating the ladies and comparing their sunscreens.

No one would be worried about the safety of these dignitaries on the rostrum, not to mention the 50 female knights of the Red Rose led by Calitan, as well as the escorts of other dignitaries, this year there were two paladins and a second-degree bishop in person, who would be blind to make trouble here.

Finally, when all the lights in the square were turned on and reflected on the white fountain pool, a majestic procession came out of the street in a neat formation.

The ornate armor with a blue glow of silver, the red cloak and tasseled hair, and the pure white unicorns made these young knights win earth-shattering cheers as soon as they appeared, especially those of the young girls and young women.
