Not long after several gendarmes rushed out, a faint commotion could be heard from behind the heavy wooden doors of the courtroom. Although the sound is not loud, it is very clear in the quiet atmosphere of the heraldic courtyard. Driven by curiosity, everyone stretched out their ears one by one, eager to know what was going on outside. You know, the House of Heraldry is the highest overseer of the kingdom, and for most people, it is a terrifying place like a ghostly hell. No one dared to be presumptuous in this forbidden place where countless powerful people were buried, and it was even said that even pirate ships never dared to approach its airspace.

In fact, the gendarmerie guarding the heraldic academy is not an ordinary army, but an elite soldier carefully selected from the 6th Army of the kingdom, and then trained by the chief of the gendarmerie himself, whose combat effectiveness far exceeds the level of ordinary soldiers. In the past, there was a certain unknown nobleman in the kingdom who was summoned by the heraldic court for committing a serious crime, and the great nobleman gathered a thousand private soldiers to guard his mansion, determined to resist arrest by force. Fifty gendarmes were sent to arrest them, and a thousand private soldiers were annihilated, and the nobleman was brought to trial in the House of Heraldry on the same day*.

In other words, the gendarmes guarding the heraldic court all have this kind of combat effectiveness, which is one of the reasons why all the nobles and military officers regard the heraldic court as a ghost.

But what is the sound that is coming to the ears now?

The angry cries of the gendarmes......

The clanging of swords ......

The roar of masonry as the walls collapsed......

A variety of sounds mingle together to form a picture of a fierce battle in the listener's mind.

But the battle in the heraldic courtyard?

Fighting in the heraldic courtyard of the highest inspectorate of the kingdom under the protection of the gendarmerie?

Could it be that the Duke of Isère, when he learned of his daughter's arrest, mobilized a large army to attack the Heraldic Academy?

Even if the news of the air bandits' large-scale attack on the royal capital would not be more shocking, everyone looked at each other with incredible expressions, but no one dared to say what was in their hearts. Everyone's eyes were focused on Noyin's body, but Noyin pursed her lips tightly and stared in the direction where the voice came from.

Of course, she knew that it was impossible for her father to do such an exaggerated thing, but listening to the sound of the battle outside getting more and more intense, if it wasn't for the army, who could fight with the gendarmerie to such a point? Noyin wondered if it was his subordinates who had rushed to make trouble, but it sounded like the source of the sound was getting closer and closer here, and the gendarmerie couldn't stop the other party? To suppress the gendarmerie, at least tens of thousands of troops would be needed, right? But for a battle of this scale, the movement outside was too small. Noin judged the situation outside with expert intuition, and suddenly a name popped into his mind.

"Kiri ......"

It only took a second from doubt to conviction, and Noyin subconsciously covered her mouth, almost calling out the name.

At this moment, the noise outside suddenly fell silent. Everyone's attention was pulled back for a moment, and they watched the entrance of the courtroom with bated breath.

Just as they expected, in the next second, the thick wooden door weighing half a ton slowly opened, and a young black man slowly walked in.

In an instant, countless eyes converged on the young man's body. In the eyes of everyone, the young man was holding a wooden stick found from nowhere, but only half of it was left, his clothes had become tattered, his hands and feet were scarred everywhere, and his right eye was black. If you want to say wolf bèi, it is really to the extreme.

However, no one present could laugh.

Because as long as you look a little farther away, you will see that in the long corridor behind the young man, there are nearly a hundred gendarmes lying horizontally and vertically. Some of their heads were buried in the earth, some of them were sunk into the floor, and some of them were pulled out of the holes in the ceiling, all of them looking more miserable than the youth, and all of them were incapacitated.

“...... Don't worry, I've got out of the way, they're just passing out for a while. ”

Sensing the gaze focused on his body, the young man shrugged his shoulders and explained. But when they heard his explanation, they felt a deeper fear -- what kind of concept was it to have nearly 100 gendarmes as opponents and spare mercy from their subordinates?

Looking at the young man's expression, which was completely devoid of tension, Noin felt that he was about to pass out.

With a "click", the iron-faced chief of the gendarmerie stepped down the steps, the metal heels and marble countertops striking with a shocking crisp sound.

With a bang, the chief of the gendarmerie pulled out the sword of law at his waist.

The blade of the sword reflecting the cold light made an arc in the air, and when it was withdrawn, it was already across the young man's neck.

“...... Oh?" Qilin raised an eyebrow, looking at the blade around his neck in surprise.

"Who are you, why did you trespass into the Heraldic Courtyard?" Nowes's voice was not emotional, and the hand holding the sword did not shake in a bit.

"Well, in fact, I came to escort witnesses, but those guys at the door didn't let us in, so I had to use some extraordinary means in a hurry......" Qilin shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and emphasized again: "But I really didn't have a heavy hand, they only broke bones at most, as long as they recuperated for a few days." ”

"You say...... Witness?" Norwes raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, a witness to the trial. The unicorn threw away half of the stick in his hand and beckoned to the back. "Erie, you can come in. ”

........................

With the Qilin's greeting, a young man in white who looked like a barbarian poked his head out of the door. Noticing everyone's gaze, the young man seemed a little cringe for a moment, but then showed an expression of resignation. After taking a deep breath, the young man came out from behind the door, and under the cold gaze of the chief of the gendarmerie, his every movement seemed trembling.

“...... Is he the witness you are talking about?" Nowes confirmed to Kirin.

Although there was no fluctuation in his tone, in fact, the chief of the gendarmerie was desperately trying to endure the shock in his heart. Unlike the wolf bèi appearance of the unicorn, Yili, who appeared later, almost did not see an obvious abrasion on his body, except for a few traces of crawling on his clothes. Of course, Norwes did not think that the son of a weak merchant would have any strength to defend himself before the gendarmerie, but if he did not, it would be quite frightening to speculate.

He shifted his gaze to Kirin's body again, sighed lightly, and withdrew his sword - if the other party really had the strength to get Eli safe and secure all the way to the Inquisition under the gendarmerie's interception, then such a small trick should not work.

"I'll tell you first, it's a felony to storm the heraldic court, and you have to be mentally prepared. Norwes announced to the Kirin. "However, the impeachment of Captain Isère is now being tried, and the matter of the collision with the heraldic court is left to be discussed later. Since you have brought witnesses, let me sit as a spectator, do you have any opinions?"

“...... Huh?" Kirin was surprised.

Originally, he thought he would be treated more harshly. Judging from the silent sword just now, the strength of this gendarmerie commander seems to be unfathomable, and Qilin is even prepared for the worst. But what he didn't expect was that the other party was an unexpectedly reasonable character, giving priority to maintaining the trial, and stopped the spread of chaos in an instant. At the same time, Kirin could not help but raise his vigilance against the chief of the gendarme—if he were an opponent, he could be said to be a formidable enemy that Conrad and his ilk could not compare with.

"Wait, you're ......" Kirin suddenly shouted. Although he didn't notice it at first, he recognized the appearance of the chief of the gendarmerie in front of him by the impression of the voice.

"You were last night's ......" The chief of the gendarmerie in front of him was the knightly man who chased him and the duke into desperation last night and jumped into the Rhine to be saved!

"Last night?" Nowes frowned.

"No, it's okay...... It's the auditorium, right? I'm going to go. Kirin lowered his head, and large drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Having said that, it was already dark when he bumped into the chief of the gendarmerie yesterday, just like he didn't immediately recognize yesterday's knight man, and Kirin also hoped that he would ignore his appearance.

"Alright, Erie, I'll take care of the rest. Qilin turned around and said hello to Shaodong of the Gray Chamber of Commerce, and then walked straight to the auditorium and stood still.

This was a pre-negotiated response, and based on the information provided by Rachel, the three of them discussed the various situations they might face in the tavern and worked out corresponding countermeasures. Due to Rachel's sensitive status, if she also intervened, it would inevitably put Noin in a more disadvantageous position, so in the end, it was decided that only Kirin and Erie would come to the heraldic court. Considering that Kirin was not familiar with the laws of the kingdom, the plan was to escort Eli to the Inquisition, and then leave the rest to the merchant's son, who only needed to assist him when the time came.

"'I'll leave it to you'...... That's a good point, and I wish I could say that to others......" Erie muttered to himself with a bitter face, and his steps towards the courtroom were unusually heavy.

Although the countermeasures had been discussed, when he actually set foot in this legendary forbidden place, Yili still felt his knees tremble terribly. Whether it was the commander of the gendarmerie who was silent behind him, or the presiding judge who was high up in front of him, or the terrifying gendarmes who were eyeing each other on both sides, for this young man from a merchant background, he was a predator in the food chain. The hostility from all around pierced his skin, and Erie's head involuntarily conjured up the image of a poor fawn crashing into a pack of wolves.

If he was the only one, I am afraid that he would have to stand still and wait for the wolves to devour him, right? But standing behind him at this time was the strongest beast king on the earth.

There was nothing more trustworthy than that, and the fear in Erie's heart vanished at the thought of the black storm that had swept through the gendarmerie earlier.

(Since there is no way back, let's just learn from him and just think about moving forward...... Erie closed his eyes and retracted his thoughts.

A few seconds later, when his eyes opened again, the uneasiness and panic had disappeared from his face, as if he were now at the negotiating table in the trading floor instead of the Inquisition of the Heraldic Court. The son of a businessman who has been trained in a hundred battles with a shopping mall as a battlefield shows a confident smile that he is accustomed to, and gently steps on the guard seat.
