Alendor helped Ryan out of the tent, the town in front of him was completely devoid of the scene when Ryan and they first came, the entire town of Giethoorn was cleaned up and buried, and the battlefield two days ago was basically the same: the burned trees, the blood stains that had seeped into the ground, all told the fierceness of the battle two days ago.

Ryan shook his head, he knew that he was afraid that most of it was caused by his fireball technique, and he didn't want to do this, but the situation was critical, and in order to eradicate the thieves, he had to do this. Ryan didn't feel guilty about it.

Under the guidance of Elendor, Ryan met Bacon in a corner of Giethoorn, the leader of the Holy Knights who had grown a beard, and it seemed that he had been under a lot of pressure for the past two days.

When Bacon saw Ryan coming, he hurriedly greeted him warmly, and made a standard royal knightly salute with his right fist on his left chest. It's a pity that Ryan hadn't seen it, thinking that everyone would meet like this, so he clumsily followed Bacon and did it again, and slammed his left hand on his right chest, causing Bacon and several holy knights to smile kindly.

Ryan scratched his head, not understanding why the knights were laughing.

Bacon smiled and explained to Ryan: "This action of mine is a salute unique to the Royal Knights, you are not a knight, you imitate it, and you do it completely wrong, you should use your right hand You use your left hand, you should gently place it on your left chest, but you pound it your right chest." ”

Ryan listened to Bacon's explanation and laughed too.

This sincere laughter immediately brought the two parties closer.

Seeing that it was nearly noon, Bacon invited Ryan and Alendor to have lunch with him, and Ryan and Alendor gladly accepted.

The three of them sat around a small wooden table, eating and talking.

Bacon first told Ryan and Allendo about himself.

Almost 20 days ago, Senat rebelled. This Senat is the lord of the city of Mori City, a city in the southeastern part of the empire. The location of Mori City is very important, as it is a necessary route connecting the imperial capital, the commercial city of Yegnas, and the largest port city, Seabreeze City.

Sena's special time was very good, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Northern Thor Fortress had just changed its defenses, the recruits were still training, and the veterans should go home to rest, at this time, the empire could not draw enough troops in a short period of time!

General Orlando, the head of the Royal Knights, decided to take a dangerous move and personally led the Royal Knights, who were originally responsible for the security of the imperial capital and the palace, to quell the rebellion. Orlando only brought 5,000 Holy Knights, but the Imperial God of War still skillfully arranged the rebellion of Senate to exhaust them, and finally had to engage the Holy Knights who were the best at charging on the plains outside Maury.

Although Senat had a thousand hoplites skilled in cavalry, and two thousand archers, his cavalry force was insufficient, with less than 500 men, barely used as scouts. Orlando, with his near-perfect command on the spot, fought fast and slow, formed a local superiority, bypassed the defensive positions of the hoplites, and cut into the archers' positions, and after eliminating the archers, the Holy Knights had no enemies to threaten them. Orlando easily commanded the Holy Knights to slaughter Senat's 30,000 infantry legions, while the only hoplites who could inflict damage on the knights could not catch up with the Holy Knights due to their poor mobility. After a bitter battle, Orlando eventually commanded the Holy Knights to defeat Senate's rebels.

Unfortunately, seeing that the battle was not good, Senat quickly fled the battlefield under the protection of his personal guards. The "left hand" that Ryan dealt with in Giethoorn was Senate's personal bodyguard.

Orlando, after all, was the supreme military governor of the imperial capital and could not be away for a long time. In this rebellion, he transferred the Royal Knights who originally defended the imperial capital, and for the safety of the imperial capital, Orlando had to stop the war and return quickly. However, before Orlando returned to the imperial capital, Bacon was ordered to lead 200 holy knights to continue the pursuit of Senat.

Bacon led his team to track Senat to the edge of the South Talon Prairie. Along the way, Bacon fought with Senat's army repeatedly, and suffered heavy losses, but the results were also great, annihilating nearly 1,000 Seinat.

Perhaps having suffered enough of the lack of cavalry outside the city of Mori, after arriving in the South Talon savannah, Senat began to send men everywhere to rob the herdsmen's horses. After several robberies in a row, he was finally caught up by Bacon. Unexpectedly, Senat was so scheming that he sent someone to disguise himself as having Bacon on the prairie for two days, draining the strength of the Holy Knight and setting up an ambush in Giethoorn.

As a holy knight, Bacon once swore in front of the gods of light to defend honor and protect the weak with his life, so he knew that Senate might have set a trap, and he rushed into Giethoorn without hesitation. After all, there are nearly 1,000 herders in Giethoorn, and if you let Senat Hu come, you will definitely lose a lot.

Ryan and Allendo knew the rest of the story, and Bacon didn't go into details.

Ryan asked again about the casualties of the Holy Knights, and Bacon's face was full of melancholy, and he said softly, "Of the 200 brothers, there are less than forty left." ”

Ryan accidentally asked Bacon about his sadness and felt very sorry, but Bacon could afford to take it and put it down, and in turn comforted Ryan again and again, telling Ryan not to care too much. From the day Bacon became a holy knight, defending honor with their lives was their greatest pursuit.

Bacon asked Ryan and Alendor about their plans, Ryan thought for a while and said, "Alendor and I have learned a lot this time, we plan to go back to Elfa City first, make this experience our own valuable experience, and then after the victory day, we will go to the imperial capital." Ryan also told Bacon about his preparation for the Race Royale.

Bacon is very happy, every year in the Atlético Royale, the Holy Knight will send people to participate, maybe in this year's tournament, Bacon will have a chance to fight Ryan.

Ryan is also looking forward to taking on the Holy Knight in competitive tournaments. Throughout the history of the Holy Empire, the Holy Knights have been the backbone of the Empire, and have won many competitive tournaments. Orlando was just an ordinary knight 20 years ago, and he was a sensation at Atlético Royal that year, and was appreciated by Fernando XII at the time. Eventually, he became the head of the Royal Knights, the strongest force in the Empire!

While the three of them were talking, two holy knights approached with an old man in their arms. Ryan accidentally saw that the old man turned out to be the mayor of Philiple.

Bacon saw that his men had taken Philip over, and apologized to Ryan and Allendo, interrupting the conversation between the three. Then he stood up and said to Phile, "Mayor Philip, I want you to tell me where almost a third of the herdsmen in Giethoorn have gone?"

Philosopher glanced at Bacon, did not speak, he stared at Ryan with his gaze, if his gaze could kill, maybe Ryan had died dozens of times.

Ryan turned to Bacon and said, "Bacon, Alan and I have seen Mayor Phillip and Senate standing together, and it seems that they are familiar with each other. And Azimu in Giethoorn was killed by his own hands. ”

Philip gasped as he clenched his hands into fists and his eyes fixed on Ryan. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh and lowered his hands, with a helpless look on his face.

Bacon listened to Lane's words and asked Philler, "Mayor Philley, do you have anything to say about the accusations that this magician Lane has accused you?"

Zhelile seemed to have suddenly aged dozens of years, and he said decadently: "I really regret that I shouldn't have issued that mercenary mission." I was going to use this mission to bring the Soul Eater into Giethoorn in name, but I was taken over by two guys who didn't know how to do it, and ruined my plans for years. ”

Ryan asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you've been in contact with Senat before, and Azimu was actually deliberately pushed out by you, right?"

"Yes," said Phillip, "with Azimu, those who disobey me in Sheep's Horn Town will come to me, and I can use the power of the thieves to eliminate them all." ”

Ryan asked, "What you told me that night was all fake, right?"

Philip hastened to argue, "No, it's not. Our ancestors used to have countless glories, but when they settled down, they slowly lost that kind of toughness, I thought about restoring the glory of our ancestors through efforts, but this group of old stubborn, saying that the current life is very stable, do not want to be like the ancestors. We are slowly degrading and cannot go on like this. A few years ago, Lord Senat sent someone to find me, and we slowly got in touch. I deliberately turned Azimu against me so that I could be prepared to use Senat's power to purge those who opposed me!"

Bacon was very unimpressed by Philip's words, and he said, "Phillips, do you want to kill your own people for the sake of a so-called glory?"

Philip said disdainfully: "They are not worthy of being my people! The strength of a race is based on bloody killing, and whoever stands in the way must be ruthlessly eliminated." Didn't Fernando do that? How many lives did he kill to achieve the glory of the empire?"

Bacon shouted: "Your Majesty Fernando, you can talk about it casually, his great achievements back then ......"

"Hmph!" said with a contemptuous smile, "No matter how great the great feat, it is just to kill more people, he can kill, why can't I?"
