When Aaron and Bruce came to the bottom of the castle, the soldiers on the wall also recognized Aaron and asked aloud in surprise, "Aaron, why are you back?"

Because there was a quasi-knight adoptive father who was the captain of the brigade, Aaron was still a relatively famous person in this circle of soldiers with a total of more than 200 people, and many ordinary soldiers knew him. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info On the contrary, Bruce is because of his low-key behavior, and he has not yet exposed the strength of the quasi-knight, he is far less well-known than Aaron.

"The village has been attacked!" Bruce yelled in response, "Hurry up and call Lord Luke Steward, we have very urgent information to report to Lord Viscount!"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and saw the traces of blood on the two of them that had not yet dried with the help of the firelight, and immediately did not dare to delay any longer, agreed, and hurried to find Luke's butler.

Luke, who is said to have been a comrade-in-arms who fought with Viscount Steve in the Battle of Dawn. After the war, because Luke's achievements were not enough to divide the land, he only received a nominal baron title, so he simply defected to Viscount Steve and became a grand steward in the Viscount's castle.

(Baron is the lowest rank in the aristocratic hierarchy, often as a purely honorary title, with nothing to do with the actual fief.) ）

Although Luke is only a butler in name, he is a comrade-in-arms of Viscount Steve, and he has the trust of the Viscount, plus Luke is also an official knight himself - along with Viscount Steve, the captain of the first brigade, he is the three official knights in the territory.

Therefore, Butler Luke's status in the castle is extremely high, it can be said that 'under one person, above a thousand', even if Viscount Steve's only beloved daughter, Angel Leo, has to be called 'Uncle Luke' if she sees Butler Luke.

On weekdays, Luke slept at night in a fortress not far from the corridor of the city wall, where beds and other furniture were placed, but it was no different from a normal room.

(The aisle of the city wall, also commonly known as the 'road of soldiers', is the flat land above the city wall, which is provided for soldiers to walk and defend the city.) ）

Aaron couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the soldiers leaving, it seemed that the castle was indeed as he expected, and was not attacked by the enemy scouts. Moreover, he and Bruce were obviously the first soldiers to flee back, and as for the soldiers stationed in other villages, maybe they were still fighting the invading enemy, or maybe they had been completely wiped out.

Fortunately, the village where he was stationed was not far from the castle, and if he had been stationed in the most remote village, I am afraid that on the way back, he would have been discovered and killed by the scout troops who invaded other villages along the way!

"Luckily, as long as we get back to the castle, we'll be safe for the time being. ”

Aaron rejoiced inwardly.

Soon, the soldiers on the city wall summoned Luke's butler, who had a hint of anger on his face—whoever was suddenly awakened from his sleep in the middle of the night would have such a bitter and bitter expression.

Luke is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with short black hair, a medium-looking uncle's face, and bronzed skin all over his body.

However, when Butler Luke saw the blood stains on Aaron and Bruce's bodies clearly, his expression changed, and he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?

"Lord Luke, we have been attacked!" Aaron replied first, "And it's not just our village that has been attacked, besides, this attack is not just as simple as an enemy invasion, as for the details, the stakes are high, can we go in and talk to you now?"

Luke's butler thought for a moment, waved his hand very confidently, and asked his soldiers to open the city gate and let Aaron and Bruce in.

Soon, Aaron and Bruce, led by the soldiers, walked in front of Luke's butler, and got closer, and Aaron quietly scanned it with a chip-

"Subject: Luke, Strength: 5.4 Agility: 5.1 Constitution: 5.1 Strength Stage: Official Knight"

Aaron's eyes lit up, although he had been prepared for the strength of the official knight in his heart, but when he really learned the data of the official knight, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and the feeling that his fate seemed to be out of his control came again-

The official knight in front of him is quite strong, strong enough to kill himself anytime and anywhere, and he definitely can't last three rounds under his hands!

This is the feeling in my own secrets, as if I am facing a premonition of a terrifying natural enemy!

Fortunately, Butler Luke will not make a move on himself, but at the same time, Aaron's inner desire for greater power can't help but become stronger and stronger - I must become a full-fledged knight in order to firmly control my destiny in the next situation!

"Now, you can tell what's going on in the village?"

Luke waved off the soldiers guarding next to him, leaving only himself, Aaron, and Bruce to ask, full of confidence.

This is the full confidence of a full-fledged knight in his own strength, even if Aaron and Bruce are quasi-knights, they can't threaten his life, let alone set off a storm.

Aaron took a deep breath and spoke, "We were attacked by the vanguard of Earl Bell's team, and George from the team also defected to us and cooperated with them in besieging .........."

Aaron told Luke exactly what had happened, but omitted the details of the battle, and instead of detailing his reversal of the situation by slashing two soldiers and then three with one sword, Aaron blurred it into the fact that he and Bruce killed most of the soldiers together, and the rest of his teammates were killed in the process.

In addition, Aaron also concealed the news that he had broken through to the quasi-knight within a few days, and explained that he had already secretly broken through to the quasi-knight.

It's just that because his goal is to become a captain, he concealed his true strength, and even did not hesitate to beat someone up in the bar last week.

Because the entire city guard army is so small, there are more than 200 people in total, a total of 8 brigades, even if you become a quasi-knight, there is no captain's position for you immediately. If the news of his promotion to a quasi-knight is exposed too early, he will definitely be suppressed by the captain of the team to which he belongs, lest this new quasi-knight steal his position.

Where there are people, there will be conflicts of interest, even in a small circle like the city guards.

To be precise, this is also the reason why Bruce hides his strength - obviously Bruce is also an ambitious soldier.

This reason seems a bit far-fetched, but Luke didn't go into details, probably considering that Bruce's parents are servants in the castle, and the possibility of early rebellion is extremely low, so he directly dropped a sentence:

"Come with me, let's meet Steve. ”

Under the curious gaze of the guards along the way, the three of them went directly to the third floor of the castle's accommodation area, and stood in front of Viscount Steve's study, Luke knocked lightly on the door-

Aggressive~!

"Lord Viscount, we have something very important to report~!"

"Please come in. ”

Viscount Steve's voice came from behind the door, Luke pushed the door open and entered, Aaron and Bruce followed closely, but Aaron's pupils immediately shrank imperceptibly-

"Steve, Strength: 6.1 Dexterity: 5.9 Constitution: 6.0"

The scanning results of the zero chip were clearly displayed in front of Aaron!
