vs 144 Old Sir Rand
Sir Rand had died a day earlier, and Gray had learned of it in an urgent letter from the Knight of Cent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the captain of Gray's personal army, the Taqia Knight naturally came with the team, and he quietly looked at his father's body, and the sadness on his face was uncontrollable.
Gray stared at the quiet face of the old knight, and unconsciously recalled the scene of the first meeting with the old knight, when the old knight held a white flag and walked out of the gates of Gerson Town.
He left Sir Rand behind him only to help him get acquainted with the environment after he captured the town of Gesen, or rather, to have someone in front of him when the power was handed over, so that the people could accept the rule of outsiders at ease.
The old knight was the only one of Gray's subordinates he couldn't understand, he seemed loyal, but he had other ideas, and it was rumored that he was old-fashioned and strict with the rules of chivalry, but Gray didn't think he was that kind of person.
So much so that he was later transferred to Covinde City, and Gray had no choice but to take his son hostage and tie him to his side.
"Hey!"
Gray sighed.
The newly promoted Knight Hanks next to him, hearing the sigh, subconsciously turned his head to look at his own Viscount, and then stared at Sir Rand, this sir, Knight Hanks is very familiar with it, after all, he has lived in Gesen Town for more than ten years.
In Hanks's impression, this knight is one of the few knights who maintains a sense of honor, and Sir Rand has a high reputation in the circle of commoners, so as soon as he walks in here, he subconsciously takes off the knight's helmet on his head.
"Let Tacia be alone with his father for a while," said Gray, speaking to the people around him, and then instructed Sente, "Let the whole battalion attend Sir Rand's funeral in the evening, and he should walk decently." ”
Grey was generally indebted to him, and he immediately ordered the clerk of the army to prepare a document for the canonization of the baron, and Sir Rand deserved his rightful place.
Far away, Gray asked, "What can you find?"
When Cente heard this, he immediately replied: "Sir Rand's saddle has been tampered with, it must have been done by a groom, and on that day, only this groom had touched the mount of the Knight of Cent, but the man was gone!"
"How can you let a groom fiddle with a knight's outfit at will, squire?" Gray subconsciously stopped, his gaze falling on the Knight of Cent.
"The squire went to a dwarven blacksmith shop in the city that day to retrieve his new knightly equipment for Sir Rand, a one-handed sword forged by a dwarf.
Cente investigated carefully.
"Expand the scope of the investigation, arrest all those who have problems, Cowin City can't withstand any turmoil now!" The murderous aura in Gray's eyes loomed, and he planned to kill him by mistake.
When Sente heard this order, he was stunned at first, but he never questioned that the character of his boss's order was well played, "I'll give the order immediately!"
Inside the camp of the main tent.
The Knights of Central had made a brief report on what had happened recently, but in fact, there was nothing to report, and Gray had learned about the situation on Earl Borg's side through his urgent reports every less than two hours.
This change in the situation caught Gray a little off guard, according to his expectations, even if Viscount Uriah got the help of the other two families, with the military strength of Count Borg on the border of the Seku territory, as long as he could not hold out, he should be able to hold out for a long time.
However, in just one day, their army was forced to retreat, and although they still retained a certain strength, their advantage had been lost.
The offense and defense changed so quickly that Gray had to pay attention to his opponents.
After listening to the briefing from the Knights of Cent, Gray asked, "There's nothing going on in Covinde City lately, right?"
If it does go to war, then the front-line wartime supplies transported from the Herion and Harrence realms will need to be stored here, so this city is extremely important.
"Don't worry, this city is firmly in our hands, and the Prime Minister, Sir Laura, was Sir Dale's former deputy, so you must be familiar with him, right?"
This Sir Gray has the impression that he has often been seen in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Dale before, he is a middle-aged man who does not smile, he takes problems very seriously, does things meticulously, and is not very well treated by his subordinates, but his character is very favored by his superiors.
"Knight Cent!" Gray was a little dissatisfied with Cent's carelessness, he said directly: "I want to remind you, this is an extraordinary time, it is not excluded that the city has been mixed with other clans' rats, once the war starts, the importance of this kind of city, do you need me to remind you again?"
Cente just said it casually, he didn't expect Gray to be dissatisfied, he was in Covinde City in recent times, it can be said that he was proud, and even Viscount Keith couldn't do anything to him.
Sir Rand had been in the barracks with him since he took over Cowind, and rarely showed up, so the young knight enjoyed the feeling of being in power, and spoke more and more freely.
Naturally, Gray could see the change in this knight, and he could understand the feeling of being in power, and when he first became captain of the guard, he was the same as Cent, and it was a strange feeling, as if everything had changed the way he looked.
At the time, if it weren't for the Earl of Lockton, he might have looked like Cent.
Gray went from captain of the guard to the title of baron, and then now, while enjoying the satisfaction of being in power, he was like walking on a tightrope, carefully planning and not daring to slack off.
Originally, according to Gray's plan, the garrison in the Covinde area was to be handed over to this knight in the future, after all, he was the son of Sir Pra and a person who could be trusted.
However, now it seems that this matter has to be planned, after all, the commander of the city's garrison can not only be trusted, he must withstand the temptation of the outside world, and be able to deal with all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships.
Thankfully, the Earl of Lockton had sent a good prime minister, Gray thought to himself.
"Are the troops ready?How long can the supplies in Covinde City support the troops to fight?" Gray thought a lot in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
Naturally, Sente didn't know how important he had missed, and after hearing Gray's question, he hurriedly replied: "After receiving the letter of help from Count Borg, I ordered the troops to enter a state of war, and all the officers on leave have been recalled!
