In less than ten days, the dusty investigation team came to the gates of Sharpster. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA knight in silver armor rode first to the gate guard, "Inform your lord to come out of the city to greet you, and say that the Marquis of Kara from the royal capital has come to visit." ”

"I'm sorry, our lord has gone out of the city on a cruise, and he won't be able to come back until night, so if you want to see your lord, go to the lord's mansion in the city and wait. The city gate guard said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Look for death!" the silver-armored knight had received such treatment, and he raised his hand and raised his whip and was about to fall. And the knights behind him also showed a look of good fun. Just as the horsewhip of the Silver Armor Knight was about to fall, suddenly a powerful coercion descended on his body from the sky, and the Silver Knight felt as if a thousand catties of weight had been applied to his body, and the bones up and down his body creaked. The knight in armor tried to twist his body to get rid of the mountain of pressure, but he fell off his horse, and his whole body was imprinted with a shallow dent on the ground.

The moment the silver-armored knight fell off his horse, the mountain-like pressure disappeared instantly, otherwise, under that pressure, the silver-armored knight would definitely fall to his death on the spot.

However, even so, the knight in silver armor was uncomfortable, and lay on the ground for a long time before getting up. Just as he was about to say something to find the field, he suddenly shot a sharp arrow from above the city gate, and shot straight at the knight's cheek, and then, the silver knight felt a hot pain, and he touched it with his hand, and a sharp arrow cut a wound on his face.

By this time, a platoon of soldiers in the city had already pointed a row of hard bows at them, and several soldiers even pushed a ballista from the tower. A soldier ripped the canvas off the ballista, revealing rows of cold, glittering bolts.

A soldier who looked like a captain shouted, "Listen below, you have been surrounded, immediately lay down your arms and prepare to surrender." Otherwise, you will be killed. ”

Many of the knights below immediately panicked. They are all guardian knights cultivated by some families since childhood, although there is no problem in loyalty, but they have no experience in war, even if there is a competition, it is an ordinary fight between knights, when they have been pointed at by ballistas and bows and arrows. What's more, the car behind them is full of important representatives sent by their respective families, and the worst is also one of the future principals of the family. (If it's too bad, it won't be selected for the investigation team.) If they want to avoid the ballista, then they are selling the people they want to protect behind them. It is a question of whether you will die or keep your oath to fulfill your duties as a knight to the end.

Just as the many guardian knights were hesitating, a middle-aged man in fine clothes stepped out of a carriage in the back, he was about 30 years old, with pale blonde hair, a dark black robe, and a bright silver iris pinned to his chest, this person was none other than the Marquis of Cara, a staunch ally of the Golden Rose family and the current head of the Iris family.

Seeing this person come out, many of the surrounding guardian knights hurriedly saluted, and one of the knights led by him stepped forward and asked, "Lord Marquis, why did you come out?" ”

Marquis Carla looked at the tense atmosphere and said, "If I don't come out again, I'm afraid you'll all be shot to death by them." ”

Hearing this, the knight at the head was taken aback, "My lord, how dare they?"

"Hehe, why don't you dare?" Marquis Carla smiled meaningfully, "You have not identified yourself, have you produced any proof objects, and you have intended to commit murder against the city gate guards, and the other party's city guards have every legitimate reason to kill you, even if your identity is proved in the end, the other party will at most say that the last sentence is wrong, and then give some compensation to pass." However, when the time comes, you will die in vain, and no one will come out to administer justice for you. Moreover, their lord is rumored to have slaughtered most of the opposition nobles in Sharpster, and you knights, what do you say they dare not kill. Marquis Carla said lightly.

After listening to Marquis Kara's words, the knight suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Although they usually practice martial arts, and they have also fought in the royal capital, but in the royal capital, all the struggles have a bottom line, and everyone is very tacitly involved in playing according to certain rules, and generally does not fight and kill. And now there is a sudden appearance of a person who does not play according to the routine, which naturally makes them extremely uncomfortable.

"Lord Marquis, what should we do now?" the knight asked.

"What to do, of course, is to follow the European procedures. Marquis Carla said helplessly. Then he took out a sealed wooden box from the carriage and handed it to the guards guarding the city gate, "This is a personal investigation order from Queen Catherine, which indicates our identity, please give this letter to the person who is now in charge of the city." We awaited his arrival outside the city. ”

The guards at the city gate looked at the wooden box in front of them, then looked at the other party's appearance, then took the wooden box and said, "You are all waiting here, I'll go and report it." With that, he turned and ran towards the city.

At the same time, the soldiers with bows on the city wall had loosened their bowstrings, but the arrows were on the bows and arrows, and they could shoot at any time if there was a situation, and the ballista on the city wall was still facing the people, and there was no sign of letting down their guard. This made everyone depressed.

A knight silently glanced at the soldiers on the city wall who were constantly patrolling and the guards at the gate of the city who were staring at them tightly, and muttered unconvinced, "Aren't they just a few guards? ”

After about half a day's work, when the members of the investigation team who were staying outside the city were sweating in the scorching sun, Rodhart, who remained in the city, slowly rode out of the city with a few followers.

He dismounted slowly, then glanced at the crowd, and then saluted Marquis Carla who was standing in front of the crowd, and then said, "Sharpster's deputy city lord Rodhart has seen the Marquis Carla of the investigation team, it is really disrespectful, due to his busy official duties, he just took time to have lunch before rushing over, I didn't let you wait for a long time, by the way, everyone has eaten, now that it is past the time for lunch, there is no lunch in the city lord's mansion." ”

Marquis Carla: "......"

Everyone: "......"
