The gates were soon opened, and an old man in knight's armor led a group of soldiers and Mark towards Gray, the Pula Knight, who looked a little haggard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Knight Gray, warrant from Lord Earl!" Pura handed Gray a parchment scroll sealed with the crest of the Lockton family's sword intersecting roses.

The content of the warrant was to order Gray to hand over his soldiers to the Pula Knights, and the battle ahead had changed a little, and reinforcements were urgently needed. After reading the contents of the earl's warrant, Gray took a serious look at the inscription on the back.

"Pula Knight, may the Goddess bless you!" Gray took out the command sword at his waist and handed it to Pula Knight, then he looked at Ruken next to him and said, "You know, my squire is dead, and Deputy Captain Ruken is temporarily my squire!"

Pura nodded, "Of course, he will continue to serve you, Knight Gray." ”

Now the only person who saw Gray kill Sir Garnard was Ruken, and Gray had planned to get rid of him, but the rules of knighthood taught by the instructor had been coming to mind recently, and Ruken's life was left behind.

However, he will not let Ruken go out of his control, at least not yet.

Naturally, Ruken could hear the conversation between the two knights, and although it was a matter of his own fate, he didn't dare to interject, just lowered his head to show his respect, or perhaps to hide his uncontrollable expression now.

"Alright, the military situation is urgent, so let's do it for now, Lord Count is already waiting for you in the castle!"

The Pula knight read the head of the Count to the soldiers, and then gave a new order, and although the soldiers had been on their way for a day, they could only listen in silence until the new order.

Gray led Ruken into the city of Herion with Thor and Mark, the gates closed the moment they entered, and the pontoon was pulled up.

There was no panic in the city, at least not now, and each family was doing its own thing, and they were accustomed to wars between nobles.

After arriving at the castle, Thor went in first to report the situation, Mark returned to the station of the knights' guards, and Ruken could only be outside the castle, and Gray was the only one waiting quietly in the corridor outside the main gate of the council hall.

"Knight Gray, Lord Count let you in!" said one of Earl Lockton's personal soldiers, opening the door to the hall.

Gray looked at him and straightened his clothes, his knight's armor had been cleaned by Lunken last night, and it was still clean, but the damaged parts had to be repaired by the castle's blacksmiths.

There were a lot of people in the council hall, they were all the noble lords of the Herion Domain, the vassals of the Earl of Lockton, and they no longer had the relaxed look they had in the Red Rain Forest camp before.

The nobles were not wearing noble robes now, but each wearing armor, and they were divided into many small circles, gathering together to discuss their little abacus, and when Gray came in, they only glanced at it lightly, and no longer cared!

The Earl of Lockton was not in the council hall, and the earl's soldiers in front led him to a small room next to the council hall, which was the study of the earl of Lockton.

The soldier knocked on the door, and in a moment the door was opened, and Gray's uncle, Sir Dale, poked his head out, and when he saw Gray, he nodded, and said softly, "Come in!"

The Earl of Lockton sat in the woolen chair behind his desk, Thor stood on his left, and when the Earl of Lockton saw Gray coming in, he said, "You have done a good job this time, and we will send more troops to completely wipe out the goblins in the forest!"

Earl Lockton spoke very slowly, and every word clearly reached Gray's ears: "However, now that the territory is in a little trouble, this matter will be like this first, the main task at present is to repel Viscount Donna's army." ”

Gray could only listen quietly.

"You'll be my new Captain of the Knight's Guard, Sir Grey!" said the Earl of Lockton suddenly.

Except for the Earl of Lockton, the other three people in the room were stunned, and Thor was the first to react, he looked at Gray thoughtfully, and Sir Dale frowned.

Sir Grey?

Gray reacted suddenly, this was talking about himself, his heart was happy, and his face couldn't help but want to show it, he hurriedly bowed down and lowered his head to hide the uncontrollable ecstasy, and said: "My oath will never change, Lord Earl!"

The Earl of Lockton nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Sir Dale, who was a little worried, and said, "Old man, what's the matter?

Sir Dale immediately shook his head: "It's just a bit of a surprise, Lord Earl, you know, he's just turned twenty years old this year, and the territory is at war now......!

Before Sir Dale could finish speaking, the Earl of Lockton stopped him, and the Earl leaned back slightly, sinking into the wool on the seat, and then looked at Sir Dale: "He has proved his courage, and the next thing is to prove his wisdom!"

"Besides, I'm already twenty years old, old man, and I've fought with my father in several battles at this age!" said a hint of memory in Earl Lockton's faint tone.

Sir Dale stopped talking.

Sir Lockton was obviously on good terms with Sir Dale, and he smiled and said, "Besides, this time I am in charge of the army, and your precious nephew is only assisting me, and we should give the young people a chance to learn from the experience, right?"

"All right, while the nobles in the realm are all here, they should be let know about it, right?" Count Lockton stood up and walked towards the door of the study, and Gray hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door first.

When the nobles in the hall saw Count Lockton come out, the large and small circles immediately dispersed, and Count Lockton frowned imperceptibly after glancing at it, he hated the small groups of these nobles, this was a challenge to his authority.

The Count walked over to the lord's chair on the front steps of the hall and sat down, behind him a huge coat of arms intertwined with swords and roses.

Glancing calmly at the nobles seated below, the Earl of Lockton said, "Sir Garnard must have known that we have lost a brave warrior!

No one dared to challenge his authority when Earl Lockton spoke, and only his clear voice echoed in the hall except the breathing of the crowd.

"This Knight Gray!" Earl Lockton pointed to Gray standing to the right of his throne, then glanced at all the nobles present, and said, "He has proven his mettle, and from now on, Sir Gray will be the new captain of my knight's guard!"
