1243. Challenge

In the morning, the sun shines on the hill city of Highlandza, and standing on the top of the bell tower, you can hear the cry of the mountain eagle......

The city of Hylanza went from quiet to noisy, and the streets were deserted at night filled with small traders and vendors, and the commoners hurried out of their homes to begin the day's toil, which was the life of most of the city's civilians.

Many people are accustomed to buying half of a wheat cake coated with jam on the side of the street and eating it as they go.

The nobles also began to plan how to expand the family estate, and they needed to prove themselves in order to gain the corresponding status in the family.

They sat in the magic caravan, their eyes slightly puffy, their expressions languishing, and some even dozed off, sitting in the carriage drinking sobering black tea.

Surdak walked down the central street, not far from the building of the headquarters of the guard battalion, Aphrodi was not with him, he looked through the harsh sunlight at the roof of the headquarters building above the canopy, took a deep breath, and strode towards the guard barracks.

The knights of the guard battalion walked into the gate in twos and threes, and Surdak also walked briskly through the crowd, and the guards at the gate were about to stop him, but when they saw the noble badge on Surdak's chest, the guards immediately hesitated.

As the guards hesitated, Surdak had already walked into the Guard Battalion headquarters building, and he even greeted several familiar faces on the way.

After all, he had saved many knights from the guard battalion, and although most of them couldn't be named, those knights were at least willing to smile and wave to him now.

Ms. Flora, dressed in a decent uniform and holding a parasol in her hand, was walking up the steps when she suddenly noticed a familiar face beside her, her eyes widened, and she said to Surdak: "Dak, why are you back, shouldn't you be stationed in a border town on the White Forest Plane now?" ”

"I had a short little vacation for the time being, so I'm back!" Surdak said vaguely.

"So you're just here to visit us?" Miss Flora asked curiously.

"Hmm...... Exactly! Surdak agreed.

The two walked side by side into the headquarters building of the guard battalion, and the receptionist, who was standing at the front desk, took the initiative to stand up and salute Flora.

Ms. Flora is the manager of the guard battalion, and when Surdak joined the guard battalion, it was all handled by Flora herself, and now that the two meet again, they can naturally chat casually.

Walking to the second floor, Lady Flora signaled that she was going to the end of the corridor, while Surdak stopped and pointed to Viscount Emmett's office opposite, signaling that she was ready to go to Viscount Emmett to catch up.

It was as if Ms. Flora had something to say to him, but she did not speak until the two parted.

Surdak walked to the door of an office with the words 'Office of the First Captain of the Guard Battalion' written on the sign at the door, Surdak stood at the door, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open and walked in......

He sat for a long time in Viscount Emmett's office.

In fact, it was not easy to convince this evergreen tree in the Hylantha guard camp, Viscount Emmett was quite prestigious in the city of Heranza, and he did not want to offend other nobles, so Surdak persuaded for a long time before finally making Viscount Emmett nod reluctantly.

Stepping out of Viscount Emmett's office, Surdak let out a long breath.

As Carr said, Viscount Emmett is a supporter of the Christie family, and he is also a member of Bernard. The young nobleman promoted by Marquis Christie, and now Surdak offered to let him support Darcy, and although Viscount Emmett hesitated for a long time, he finally agreed.

Surdak came to the headquarters of the guard battalion, and his second goal was to meet the commander of the guard battalion, Sauron. Aldington.

Originally, he was still the captain of Sauron, but now he has become the commander of the guard battalion, and I have to say that the Aldington family in Highlandsa City is still very powerful.

Knocking on the door, Surdak pushed open the outer door of Chief Sauron's office, and the assistant inside raised his head to stare at Surdak, his gaze fell on his chest, and then immediately recognized Surdak, her eyes lit up, and she smiled at Surdak.

"Is Chief Sauron here?" Surdak asked.

The assistant hurriedly replied: "Yes, Squadron Leader Surdak!" You were recently promoted to Earl? I'll go to the ceremony for you right away. ”

I have to say that the title of nobility is really a good stepping stone.

Soon the assistant came out of it, and behind him was the uniformed Chief Sauron, who was still strong and burly, but he was no longer as fierce in front of Surdak.

Chief Sauron smiled mildly and said to him, "Dark, why are you back, shouldn't you be stationed in the White Forest Plane?" ”

"I'm coming back to visit my family this time! Drop by and see you. Surdak said casually.

Chief Sauron smiled a little forcefully.

He saw the noble badge on Surdak's chest, and very politely invited Surdak into the chief's office.

As soon as Surdak sat down, he said straight to Chief Sauron, "I have come to see you this time in the hope that you will be able to stand in Darcy. Christie's side, for the rest of the year, will be able to support her unwaveringly, and I hope ......"

Sitting in his chair, Chief Sauron smiled unnaturally, waved his hand to Surdak, and said:

"Dark, how long have you been away from Hylanza, you know that the city of Hylanza here is no longer what it was when Marquis Bernard was in office, and the nobles of Hylanza City are now scattered like a plate of sand, do you know how many balls I have received in just this week?"

"How many people want to woo me!"

"Now that Darcy's power as Archon has almost been hollowed out, and people are terminally ill, how can I still put the chips in my hand on her, it is not in the interests of the Aldington family!"

After speaking, he shook his head again and again, and added: "This is impossible!" ”

"What do you say has become of the city of Hylanza now?" Surdak sat across from Chief Sauron and asked unceremoniously.

Feeling that Surdak's tone seemed to have changed somewhat, Captain Sauron was slightly stunned, and then his gaze fell on Surdak's chest again, and his expression was a little relieved, and then he explained with a smile:

"The Marquis Bernard is gone, and all the nobles who were once attached to him are now unable to get together as before."

"The Christie family alone is divided into several factions, and Darcy. Christie is currently in the power faction and can no longer control the Christie family, and now it is her two uncles Ryan who are in control of the Christie family. Christie and Piaro. Christie. Ryan is in charge of the Christie family's business, Piaro is in charge of the Christie family lords, and her younger brother Duam is in charge of all the Christie family's estates. ”

"These Christies don't support Darcy, which is why we have put this female consul of Highlandsa City in a dilemma, and now she can lie peacefully on the sickbed, which is the best result!"

Chief Sauron rubbed his hands together and rang the bell at hand.

The assistant outside pushed the door open, ready to accept the call of Chief Sauron at any time, Captain Sauron stood up directly, and said to Surdak with a smile: "I know your intentions, Dark, but the situation in Highlandsa City is very complicated now, so I can't promise you this matter!" ”

Surdak leaned back on the couch and did not stand up.

Under the watchful eye of the assistant at the door, Surdak took out a pair of silk white gloves from his coat pocket, showed a faint smile on his face, threw the gloves on the table of Chief Sauron, and said, "I challenge you, Sauron. Aldington, I think you're defying the Archon of Highlandsa. ”

"In order to defend the power of the Archon of the Green Empire, I challenge you!"
