Chapter 233: Rift

"Captain Bacon. Get out of the way!" Christina raised her head and shouted to Bacon, who was standing out of Orlando's tent, "You said that General Orlando was taking care of some personal matters, but now that a full eight hours have passed, even if he is not done, he still needs to eat, right?

Bacon was secretly anxious in his heart, because Orlando had been leaving through the teleportation magic array for almost a day, and in the afternoon, Christina, the personal guard of the former Queen Catherine, suddenly came to the door with some young holy knights, hoping to talk to Orlando face to face, and Orlando was not in the imperial capital at all, not only him, but even Faraz, Victor and they are not there, and they know what they are going to do, Bacon also knows it, he is very worried that if this matter is leaked, it will cause turmoil in the imperial capital, after all, the three people who can be in charge of the imperial capital now have all left together.

In desperation, Bacon had to use all means to delay until now, but after the night fell, the dark night sky still could not stop Christina and their beliefs, looking at their posture, it was obvious that they would never give up if they didn't see Orlando tonight, and Christina's attitude also told Bacon that once this matter was not dealt with, it was very likely that an evil incident would occur.

Bacon has a high prestige in the barracks, but that is among the older holy knights, in recent years, the barracks have greatly expanded their strength, these young knights and Bacon and other older knights have been together for a short time, and they can only be said to be familiar with each other, if you want to say who has the most authority among these young knights, I am afraid it has to be the Christina in front of you.

Under Catherine's instructions, Christina often came into contact with the young knights, who believed that the Imperial Capital's current methods were too gentle, and that the rebels should be forcibly subdued with a thunderous blow, and that the enemies of the Imperial Capital should be directly wiped out with a lightning attack, just as Orlando led the Royal Knights to defeat Senate's multi-fold army in just a few days.

However, because Orlando did not agree with this concept, under Catherine's slow inducement, many young and vigorous knights felt that Orlando was too conservative, and because of the struggle for power between Faras and Catherine in the imperial capital, these young knights thought that Orlando was likely to favor Farrath, because Catherine was nominally the only master of the empire, and under Catherine's inducement, many young knights believed that as long as Catherine was on the throne, they could solve the crisis of the empire by force, which also gave individuals the opportunity to make achievements and make them full of desire for the future。

"You have gone too far, Christina!" Bacon knew that he could not afford to be weak at this time, or the situation would worsen, and he rebuked Christina in a loud voice, saying, "Isn't this a barracks? Do you intend to disobey military discipline? I warn you, that your present behavior is quite dangerous!"

"I'll bear all the consequences today!" Christina glared at Bacon without fear, "Now, please come out and give us an explanation, Captain Bacon! Or is General Orlando not here at all, maybe he is with Faraz?"

"Someone!" Bacon's face changed, and he shouted to the guards next to him to step forward, while the eight guards on duty with long swords did not hesitate to draw their long swords and pointed them at Christina. Bacon's face was quite serious, and he shouted solemnly: "Please return to your military tent immediately, it is already late at night, according to the regulations of the Royal Knights, you are not guards on duty, and now you are still appearing on important occasions in the barracks, I can directly take you down and dispose of you, if you resist, you can be killed on the spot!"

Hearing Bacon's words, the faces of the young knights who followed Christina changed drastically, they were instilled with a lot of ideas such as obedience and obedience when they were receiving basic training for knights, and martial law at night in the barracks was an iron-clad rule, and they were now following Christina to ask Orlando for an explanation, which obviously violated this military discipline.

"Hmph, Mr. Bacon, you are so calculating!" retorted Christina without fear, "I am afraid that you have been planning to use this excuse against us since the afternoon, right?"

"I'll count to three! If you still stay here, you won't be killed! If you have something to do with General Orlando, please first report it layer by layer according to the rules of the barracks, are you all a rabble? You don't understand the rules at all? There are tens of thousands of people in the entire barracks, and everyone runs directly over to them, are we still barracks here? Or is it the invincible army known for its discipline?" Bacon's words once again struck the hearts of the young knights, and made them feel a sense of fear.

Seeing that Bacon had gained the upper hand, and the hearts of her own side were a little fluctuating, Christina decided to take a desperate gamble, she pulled out her long sword with a sigh, and then cut a scar on the palm of her left hand, letting her blood flow on the blade, and Christina said loudly on her face as usual: "I swear by my honor, I, Christina, want to see General Orlando today is not for my own personal grudge, as long as General Orlando answers me a few questions in public, I am willing to bear all the consequences." ”

When Christina said this, she changed the subject and said, "Now that things have come to this point, General Orlando still refuses to come out to see me......?

"Shut up! you have insulted General Orlando!" said Bacon angrily, "You are but a midshipman, and now you are inciting the people to make trouble here?"

"I've sworn a blood oath, now ask General Orlando to come out!" Christina ignored Bacon's words, she shouted at Orlando's military tent: "Everyone knows what the blood oath means, now please General Orlando come out and answer me a few questions face to face!"

Bacon cried out in his heart, because the blood oath of the Holy Knight is quite serious, and it would not be done unless it was a last resort or a firm will, Christina's hand not only resolved Bacon's advantage of standing as the commander of the barracks, but also directly forced Orlando to a point where he had to show up, otherwise it would be Orlando's disregard of a Holy Knight's greatest honor, which is second only to blasphemy for Orlando itself to be a Holy Knight.

But now that they are not here in Orlando at all, Bacon is anxious, but he does not know what to do, while the knights around him are emboldened after Christina swears blood, and shout in unison: "General Orlando, please come out!"

This momentum was higher than a Lang, and soon the entire barracks were swept over, and the knights who were supposed to be sleeping couldn't help but run over after hearing Christina's blood vow to see Orlando, and the whole barracks was in chaos at once.

The situation in front of Bacon was out of control, he gritted his teeth, and was determined to take Christina by force, but he would rather lose his reputation than affect the regimental commander, and just as he held the hilt of the long sword with his hand, the majestic voice of General Orlando came from the military tent: "What are you all doing?"

Orlando's voice was not loud, but his voice at a normal volume reached the ears of every knight present, like a hammer striking them in the heart, causing them to take a few steps backwards, leaving only Christina still standing.

"Squeak!", the door was pushed open, Orlando walked out with his head held high, Bacon was overjoyed, he was about to go forward to tell Orlando about the situation in front of him, but Orlando stood still, looked around, as far as he could see, every knight who was seen by Orlando couldn't help but take a few steps back again, leaving the boss in the middle of the open space.

"Don't you want to see me? I'm here now. Orlando's unangry voice reached everyone's heart: "Since you have refused to obey Captain Bacon's orders, since you have blatantly disobeyed the discipline of the Royal Order, and have to pay the price of blood oaths, just to see me? ”

"General Orlando!" Christina took a step forward without fear, she subconsciously gave Orlando a knightly salute first, and then said loudly: "I am a trainee knight Christina, I came today to ask General Orlando, where is our noble Majesty?"

"Is that what you're seeing me for?" Orlando had already guessed the purpose of Christina's trip, and in the process of protecting Catherine, Orlando had noticed that the former apprentice Holy Knight had slowly lost himself on the road of faith, and even kept inciting those young knights to turn to Catherine, but Orlando didn't know Catherine's true identity before, so she tolerated it, and now that Catherine has fled, her guard knight actually ran to the barracks to ask for an explanation from herself in person, whether Christina doesn't know the truth or she has become Catherine's loyal lackey?

"Lady Christina, first of all, I will deprive you of the honor of apprenticeship as a Holy Knight, because you have violated the creed of knightly humility, you have violated the discipline of the Royal Order, and from this moment on, you will no longer be a member of the Royal Order. Of course, Orlando couldn't follow Christina's question, wouldn't that give the initiative to others? So Orlando announced the punishment of Christina, and then solemnly said to someone in the venue: "Regarding Her Majesty Catherine, the former queen of the imperial capital, I can only regret to say that since the beginning of the new year, she has ceased to be our Majesty the Queen." ”
