Chapter 568: Disputes
After the battle with the Eight Banners, the centaur warriors suffered many losses, but Garo Twindden resolutely led his people to take on the task of interception, detouring behind the Dawning Fortress, galloping back and forth to attack villages and drive away the population, trying to create a blank space between the Dawning Fortress and other cities of the Holy Griffon Empire, and try to block the pace of human reinforcements.

But even so, because the Hun cavalry summoned by Leo appeared out of thin air, completely annihilating all the contributions made by the centaurs. Not to mention the credit, now the centaur clan has long been hated by the three major vassal tribes, and is determined to sue the centaur in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
At nightfall, the Dawn Fortress looks like a giant ship floating in a sea of green, and the surrounding area is illuminated by layers of lights. After a day of intense tension, the Golden Legion soldiers had a chance to change their guard and recuperate, and those soldiers who were all injured but still insisted on guarding could finally take a good rest and relieve the aches and pains in their bodies.
Officers of all ranks went in groups to a tavern and drank a glass of ale, even if it didn't taste good, they just used it to relieve their spirits. While raising a glass and drinking, these rugged men naturally had to talk and brag, but the topics and characters they discussed today were almost without exception the mysterious Grand Duke of Pritz.
From the mystery of his origins, to the endless elite legions under his command, and even the huge and hideous bipedal wyvern that can be tamed, this Grand Duke of Pritz seems to have an endless secret. The most admired by these men in the army are people with ability and ability, and they despise naturally the kind of people who are incapable and cowardly, and today on the command platform, Commander Dick Gus, who was placed by Leo, happened to be the object of everyone's unanimous contempt.
The Grand Duke of Pritz, who selflessly put the human alliance first, led his legions to gallop thousands of miles to help the Dawn Fortress, and this friendship can all be remembered in the hearts of these soldiers, for whom they praised Pritz, and Dick Gus, as the villain, was wantonly teased and amused in everyone's mouths.
Anyway, everyone is from the Golden Legion, and those guys from the Silver Legion are stationed in the fortress, so the noise in the tavern rang out unscrupulously, and the scolding of ridicule, ridicule, and contempt instantly resounded throughout the tavern. Clusters of laughter erupted, and everyone seemed happy to see the captain of the Silver Legion being so belittled.
But the stubby men did not notice that in a gloomy corner of the tavern sat a man in a gray robe, facing the corner with his back to the hall, and even if he was reluctant, the tavern was so loud that the noise continued to reach his ears.
If anyone could have noticed him under the table, they would have seen that one of his hands was clenched into fists, and his nails were almost sunk into the flesh of his palms. The fists were still shaking, as if they were about to burst out if they couldn't hold back their emotions.
At this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome aristocratic young man walked into the tavern from the outside, bringing a cold wind full of autumn to the tavern in full swing. Many soldiers couldn't help but shudder, and when they were about to shoot the case and scold, they were shocked to find that the young man was actually the Grand Duke of Pritz, one of the two protagonists they were discussing.
"Welcome, Your Excellency Grand Duke Pritz!" was the bartender at the tavern who was the quickest to respond, greeting Leo loudly and reminding the drinkers to be on the lookout.
Only then did the soldiers come to their senses, and they all raised their glasses and shouted to Leo: "Honorable Grand Duke of Pritz!" "Cheers to His Excellency Grand Duke Pritz!"
Leo nodded to the drinkers with a smile on his face, and looked around the tavern to find an empty seat. Just as he noticed the robed man sitting alone in the corner, and walked over, the door to the tavern was slammed open again.
Dick Gus's lieutenant burst into the tavern with four silver soldiers, and looked anxiously from the tavern door as if looking for someone.
"Get out, you rude fellows!" "Shhhhhh
The soldiers, who had been interrupted twice in succession, were not happy at the moment, and one by one they cursed and shouted, waving their fists at the adjutant and making all kinds of threatening gestures. The lieutenant ignored them, though, and the nervous look on his face was immediately relieved when his gaze fell on the corner of the tavern.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, I have finally found you, come with me, His Royal Highness the Prince wants to see you!" the adjutant crossed Leo in three steps and two steps, and came to the table in the corner, and reached out to take the arm of the robed man.
With a bang, the robed man punched the adjutant in the chest with a backhand, knocking him straight out, and at the same time stood up and turned his head and said loudly: "Presumptuous! What is your identity, dare to order me?"
As soon as he turned around, the drinkers immediately recognized him as the other male protagonist who had been talking about so much earlier: Captain Dick Gus. The boos, whistles, and shouts rang out in the tavern, and under the stimulus of alcohol, and the outnumbered number of people, the officers of the Golden Legion did not like Dick Gus, and they were even more disgusted with his arrogance, and their mouths became more and more unpolite.
Dick Gus, who was born into a famous nobleman and was pretentious, was usually the focus of attention wherever he went, where did he receive such ridicule and scolding? Just now he drank another suffocating drink, and under the surging of alcohol, and saw that the Archduke of Pritz, whom he hated and hated, he could control his temper, and immediately ordered the adjutant and the soldiers of the Silver Legion in a rage: "Bastard, quickly arrest all those bastards, dare to despise and insult the officials, I will skin them!"
The adjutant who had been knocked away finally stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Dick Gus say this, he immediately became embarrassed, and the four soldiers of the Silver Legion also looked at each other in embarrassment.
Judging from the military uniforms and titles of the drinkers present, these are all officers of all levels of the Golden Legion. If it was enough to provoke friction between the two legions according to the orders of Dick Gus, such a thing would be enough in peacetime, but now in wartime, the orc army is stationed not far from the fortress, and now the officers of the two legions are actually fighting in the tavern, which is enough to be dismissed and imprisoned according to military law.
