Section 37 Expedition
Lucken had been in the past few days, and he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his immediate boss, Knight Grey, kill Sir Garnard with a short spear. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lucken was forty-five years old, he had served in the army for more than twenty years, he had heard too many battles among the knights in the Knights' Guard, but he had never seen it with his own eyes!
At that moment, the fear in his heart almost broke down, and he even wanted to kill Gray and run away, but the thought of his wife and two children forced him to suppress this impulsive thought.
Later, Knight Gray asked him to dispose of the men around him, and he did, even though they were his most trusted subordinates in the army, and one of them was even his own nephew, but he did it anyway!
Because, Ruken knew that if he didn't do this, the knight lord had a thousand ways to make himself disappear, and he knew that as long as he did things according to Knight Gray's requirements, his life would be no problem for the time being, as for what to do later, he didn't think about it at all, maybe he didn't dare to think about it.
Things were as Ruken had imagined, and Knight Gray didn't pursue them any further.
Outside Herien Castle, when he saw Gray handing over the command to the Pula Knights, he really didn't know how to express the ecstasy in his heart, although the unknown battlefield awaited him in front of him, but as the deputy captain, there were many soldiers in front of him who could block the attack for him.
To get out of the way and then go home and run away with his wife and children! This was what he thought at the time.
But Knight Gray's request shattered his dream in an instant, he didn't have any ability to resist, and Knight Pula agreed without even looking at him.
Then Luck followed Gray to the castle where the Earl lived, it was the first time that Luck had seen the castle so closely, it was even more shocking than he had imagined, he felt like a mythical little man standing at the feet of a giant, he wanted to look up and take a serious look at the whole castle, but he didn't dare, he could only peek at it once in a while.
When it was almost dark, a warrant was issued to the noble district in the castle, and Knight Gray was appointed captain of the Knights' Guard, which was as shocking as the news that Knight Gray had killed Sir Garnard that day.
Could it all have been planned by them?
Immediately after, he suddenly reacted again, and became Sir Gray's attendant, the captain's attendant, oh! Goddess, did you hear my prayers?
It's a good position, and now that the territory is at war, Lunken has been fighting for so many years, and he is just one step away, he thinks he will never hope to take this step again in his life, but now his chance has come!
A chance to become a knight lord!, of course, it all depends on what Sir Gray means.
With a good mood, Ruken spent a few days in the Knight Guard.
On the morning of May 11.
Ruken was wiping down Sir Gray's armor, which he had to do every day, a brand new suit of armor, the one on the front that had been damaged and had been sent to the castle blacksmith to be repaired.
The troops and supplies have been prepared, and the military order is here, and the troops will be mobilized early this morning! Ruken got up early and carefully wiped down Sir Gray's armor and weapons.
He also heard that Sir Grey had been assassinated by an entire squad and had wielded a crossbow, much to Ruken's contribution, but then he saw that Sir Grey was unscathed, and he couldn't help but feel resentful of those who were swaggering.
If Sir Grey were to die unexpectedly now, Ruken really didn't know what his future would become.
The assassination gave Ruken a strange feeling, and after Sir Gray put Mark Knight in charge of the investigation, he stopped mentioning it as if it had never happened.
"Ruken, how are you preparing?" came Gray's voice.
"It's all right, Sir Gray!" Lucken stood up at the sight of Gray's tall frame.
Gray looked at his armor and said, "Yes, you're serious about your work!"
By the time Gray finished dressing and walked out of his room, the campus was already full of knights, with their squires leading their horses.
"Let's go!" Gray commanded, glancing at the many knights.
At this moment, the square outside the gate of the castle was already full of people on both sides, most of them noble ladies and children, who had come to see off their husbands or fathers.
"Sir Grey!" said Miss Nessa, standing to the right of the castle gate, and cried out at the sight of Gray, leading a horse, which was the mount of his father, the Earl of Lockton, and if it weren't for her duty, Miss Nessa might have met her.
Nesha's shout made most of the people in the square look at Gray who was surrounded by a group of knights in the middle, each with different expressions, and discussed in a low voice.
When Gray heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps forward and bowed: "Miss Nesha!"
Sir Dale was also at the gate of the castle, and he had Cateli, the stubborn girl, who looked at Gray with a look in her eyes a little evasive, apparently the last time had made her a little embarrassed.
After the Earl of Lockton left the castle, the top decision-maker of the castle was Miss Nessa, a young girl who was just sixteen years old, and of course Sir Dale would assist her.
"Uncle Dale! Catli!" Gray greeted first.
Gray they don't dare to ride horses now, the earl has not yet come out, the knights and the nobles who have gone out are waiting for their lord Earl Lockton to appear at the gate of the city gate, and the squire is leading the horse behind.
Cartli bit her lip and walked over to Gray's side, "Brother Gray, be careful yourself!"
Gray nodded and smiled slightly, Cartli saw Gray's smile and knew that the unpleasantness between them had passed, and also smiled lightly, Sir Dale smiled beside him and said: "Gray, be careful on the battlefield, pay attention to the safety of Lord Earl!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Dale!" said Gray, with a serious expression, and Sir Dale patted Gray on the shoulder again and said no more.
At this moment, a man stepped out of the castle, it was the Earl of Lockton in military uniform, his shining armor reflected the soft light of the morning sun, and his silver-white hair fluttered gently in the breeze.
He first walked to his daughter's side, whispered a few words, and then looked seriously at a group of knights and nobles in armor in the square, and a sense of confidence arose in his heart, and he skillfully turned over and shouted after getting on his horse: "Let's go!"
"Sir Grey!" Miss Nessa called out to Gray as he was about to leave after his father had walked some distance.
Gray was stunned for a moment, and Miss Nesha continued, "Protect yourself, and protect my father!"
"Don't worry, Miss Nesha!" Gray nodded solemnly.
With that, Gray took his leave, his steps were so fast that the many knights behind him did not dare to walk in front of him, so they had been waiting for him.
The soldiers outside the city were already on standby, and when the Earl of Lockton appeared, a series of orders were issued through Gray's side, and with the sound of trumpets and heralds, and the shouts of the commanders, the procession slowly marched towards the Ani River.
--------
"Sir Grey, have you found out about the assassins who assassinated you in the noble quarter last time?" asked Earl Lockton in the middle of the troop as he approached Gray.
"A little brow, Lord Count!" Gray replied sideways.
The Earl of Lockton sighed, "Sir Grey, kindness is a good quality, but excessive kindness is synonymous with weakness!"
Gray immediately nodded, "Yes, Lord Count!"
The Earl of Lockton stared at the advancing procession: "When necessary, necessary means!"
