Section XXXVI
At night, Gray slept in a lounge next to the office, all the utensils in the lounge were newly purchased, which should have been made by Taylor, Gray admired Taylor a little, it was difficult for him to be able to buy it so neatly in such a short time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day, it was a busy day, Gray had never been so busy, he didn't even have time to participate in the daily knight training!
Gray first had to familiarize himself with the work of the captain of the guard, then he had to communicate with Sir Dale about the recruitment of soldiers, and then the Earl would often summon him to inquire about the progress of the recruitment.
The knights under his command didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary here, after all, it was wartime, and now the law was different from usual, a high hat with it, maybe even his life would be lost.
The commander of the newly recruited infantry regiment, and the commander of the regiment, Gray had no idea who to appoint! The two brigades of cavalry could be led by Mark, who had learned this from the count's son in his youth.
Before he knew it, it was already dark, and the day went by, and Gray felt that the day was so bad that he didn't even know what he had done!
"Knock! knock!" there was a knock on the door of the guard's office, and Gray looked at a document submitted by the clerk, a document on the city's security problems in the past few days, "Come in!" Gray's voice was tired.
"It seems that this captain of the guard is not as easy as he thinks!" was Thor's voice.
Gray immediately put down the document in his hand when he heard this, but Thor stepped forward to pick it up, and then looked at it with interest.
"Is there a knight in your knightly guard named Cente Is?" Thor said slowly, looking at the papers.
Gray was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this Cente Iss Knight is about the same age as Gray, mainly he is still the son of the Pula Knight, Gray's relationship with the Pula Knight is okay, if his son is given a better position, then their father and son will definitely come over.
The post of commander of the Second Infantry Regiment was to be taken over by the knight of Cent, but this appointment had to be approved by the Count.
"Don't worry, Lord Earl doesn't want to see you bothered by trivial matters every day, and his captain of the guard doesn't do trivial things every day!" Thor put down the papers in his hand.
Gray was quick to understand, he threw away the papers in his hand, he decided to appoint the captains of the two new city defense brigades tomorrow, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too merciful.
"How about it? Would you like to have a few drinks in the tavern?" asked Thor.
Gray asked, "Which tavern to go to?"
"The one in the aristocratic quarter!" Thor replied, and Gray smiled.
It was dark outside, the sky was dotted with stars, the moonlight was completely obscured by clouds, and Gray and Thor had just stepped out of the Knight Guard's station when they came across a squad of patrolling soldiers.
Gray's knight's armor had been taken off, and of course the command sword that symbolized his status at his waist had to be carried with him, and the saber was still hanging around his waist, and the early spring night was a little cold, and a woolen coat was put on Gray's body.
Suddenly, a cold breath came, making Gray shiver all over his body, and this coldness invaded the marrow of the person!
No, this is a murderous aura, Gray reacted instantly, his face also changed, and Thor next to him also reacted at the same time.
But I saw that the oncoming group of patrol soldiers actually had a crossbow in their hands, and all of them were pressed strings, and the crossbow arrows had been loaded, and as they raised their crossbows with both hands, the crossbow arrows emitted a faint cold light in the faint starlight.
Thor quickly unleashed a magic shield circle, and the crossbow on the other side had already shot crossbow arrows, only to hear the screech of "whoosh!whoosh!" and several crossbow arrows piercing the air.
The magic shield shattered instantly, and Gray and Thor immediately rolled to the side.
"Pounce! pounce!" A few muffled sounds, Gray felt pain in his chest, and secretly said: Oh no!
The group was well-trained, and their crossbow bolts blocked all directions around them, allowing them to hit no matter which way they were dodging.
There was a sudden muffled "hum" from the side, Gray turned his head to look, but it was Thor who pulled out the crossbow arrow in the seat of his right shoulder, Gray's eyes lit up, and he also resisted the severe pain and pulled out the crossbow arrow in his chest.
This pain is really not something that ordinary people can bear, Gray trembled all over his body, and the cold sweat instantly wet the linen clothes he wore inside!
The team of 'patrolmen' in front saw that the two actually stood up again, immediately threw away the crossbow in their hands, drew their swords and rushed towards the two of them, this is a noble area, they have to fight quickly, there is no time to pull the crossbow string.
Looking at the group of people rushing over, Gray took a few deep breaths, and suddenly exerted force under his feet, but instead of retreating, Thor next to him retreated a few steps, drawing a magic array in his hand, and a magic shield appeared around Gray's body.
Gray's speed was extremely fast, and he caught the other party off guard, the sword on his waist was instantly unsheathed, and then a horizontal split, a beautiful cold light flashed, and the two fell down in an instant, their throats were full of a deep sword mark, and their mouths were spitting blood, saying words that they couldn't hear clearly, and they lost their breath after two convulsions.
The rest of the 'patrolmen' were shocked, but they didn't dare to stop for a moment, "Ding, Ding!" Several swords stabbed on the magic shield beside Gray, and the magic shield disappeared immediately, and Gray also took the opportunity to retreat a few steps to avoid another round of attacks.
Suddenly, "Bang, bang!" two muffled sounds, two of the enemy were hit by Thor's fireball technique, the burning flames instantly lit up a large area, the two people who were burning seemed to go crazy and ran around, and Gray took the opportunity to kill another person.
There were only five people left in the first team.
Some people nearby may have heard the voice, and they all walked this way, this is the aristocratic area, most of the men have swords around their waists, and the swordsmanship is passable, the women obviously frown and stand far away, but they are not afraid.
This is the difference between the nobles and the commoners, and if this happened in the commoners, it would have caused a riot long ago.
Gray raised the Captain of the Guard at his waist and shouted, "I'm Gray Cage, the Captain of the Knight Guard, these patrolling soldiers are assassins, catch them!"
Some of the nobles immediately came to their senses, stabbing the two burning Assassins to death with a few swords, and then slowly surrounding the remaining Assassins.
At this moment, a group of people ran out of the Knight Guard's station, led by Taylor, who drew his sword from his waist and ran behind Gray, surrounded by many nobles surrounding the remaining five Assassins.
Taylor was stunned for a moment, then met everyone's gaze, then turned to the knights behind him and shouted, "Quick, protect Sir Grey, kill these assassins!"
Taylor's swordsmanship was so high that Gray had to admit that the remaining Assassins were killed on the spot after only a few more attempts in the face of the siege.
Thor wanted to stop him, but Gray stopped him, and he only smiled, and the cold light in his smile couldn't help but make Thor tremble.
"Sir Grey, are you alright?" said Taylor, who had put away his sword, and bowed as he came, his attitude as respectful as he said he was, and the blood on his face was very uncomfortable to see with the way he was now bowing and humbling.
