The reason why Leon returned to Lion City was originally due to an accident.

Sending an order from Lion City to Foxtown to Godric is basically all the way north, and the entire route is plain, so it doesn't take much time.

This is also the important point of the three-way intersection in Fox Town - after passing Fox Town, the road to Lion City is relatively smooth and safe.

A few days ago, Leon waited for the royal city guards to leave the lion city, because his guards were all Noldor elves, and it was best not to walk with the royal city guards, so as not to cause unnecessary friction.

The Kings Guard was ordered to oversee Godric and Amy, and the two commanders were also the deputy envoys of the herald, with Baron Gaydon, the commander of the guard, leading the troops at the front, while the deputy commanders, Inna and Leon, walked together.

But just over half the way, they had an accident.

Near Harlem Gosburg, north of the Lion City, they encountered stonemasons and quarrymen who were being hunted down by a horde of degenerates, including Sigismund......

After Sigismund led the scouts away the Fallen, he realized that he could not get rid of them, so he immediately ordered his troops to withdraw in the direction of Talboa.

Because Talboa has few inhabitants, most of the people here are quarrymen - mostly able-bodied men, and most of them are criminals who have been exiled here.

This is indeed the most suitable place to evacuate, not only to cause casualties among innocent residents, but also to allow these young quarrymen to help stop it, and to send news back to other places.

Sigismund didn't let the scouts scatter again, and he felt that it would be better to concentrate the Fallen in a remote place than to let the Fallen scatter and cause wreak havoc - the former civilian knight still maintained a simple kindness.

But Sigismund made a mistake in his consciousness after seeing the wind and the waves—he ignored the courage of ordinary people at the time.

He and his men had burned down the temples of Desha, fought large-scale wars, and seen even more terrible Legions of Dread, so they had no fear of the Fallen, and they didn't expect that the quarrymen had not seen the world as well as they did.

Most of the quarrymen were indeed criminals, but they were not warriors and had little knowledge, so they were unprepared to see a skinless monster like the Fallen.

Therefore, when Sigismund lured the Fallen to the quarry, he immediately caused a great panic - this is the most normal behavior of ordinary people after seeing skinless monsters......

Seeing the panic of the quarrymen, Sigismund immediately realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly led the scouts to help the quarrymen unshackle and other restraints, and then led them to run away.

Probably slightly better than the average villager, the quarrymen and stonemasons did have the ability to run, after all, most of them were young and strong men, and they were even faster than Sigismund's tired scouts.

Only a small number of stonemasons or their families were old and infirm, but there were many vehicles used by Talboa to transport stones, and the speed of the fallen was not fast, and most of them were able to escape.

As a result, Sigismund, who had attracted the Fallen with less than a hundred people, was now more than a thousand people hunted down by the Fallen—which drew the Fallen even more thoroughly.

The panicked quarrymen would not listen to anyone, of course, and would only rush to the nearest castle, hoping to be protected by the walls......

The closest castle to Talboa is Haringosburg, north of Lion City.

So, Baron Gaydon, who was at the forefront with the royal city guards, fought an encounter with the Fallen unprepared.

Baron Gaydon was a young lord raised by Ulrike and a former member of the Lion Order, and was somewhat similar to Rayman's nature - in short, he was both a close confidant of the king and a representative of the nobility.

After Ulrique removed Andrew from his position as commander, Gaydon was transferred to the commander of the King's Guard, and he was the heir to Haringosburg.

The lord of Harlem Gosburg, Gaydon's father, is now old and paralyzed in a hospital bed, so Gaydon has officially inherited the barony as the eldest son in the family.

After his father's death, Gaydon would be relieved of the Royal City Guard and become master of Haringosburg.

With a large number of Fallen Men hunting down civilians in the heart of the Lion Kingdom, and being so close to his own castle, Gaiden must be eliminated.

The quarrymen and stonemasons were saved, as was Sigismund, but Baron Gaydon died a tragic death at the hands of the Fallen, who bravely rushed to the forefront to protect his homeland.

Perhaps Gayden really didn't expect that the seemingly fluffy sword of those fallen people could not only cut through his plate chain composite armor, but also cut him into two pieces......

The Wangcheng guards killed and wounded a dozen people on the first contact, and then they realized that something was wrong and immediately began to retreat.

Fortunately, Leon's Noldor Guard was not far behind, and they rushed to support as soon as they found out about the fighting.

The Noldor Elves are indeed the natural nemesis of the Fallen, and it takes little effort for these marksmen to take out the Fallen in such plains—the Noldor are already fond of shooting at the head of their enemies.

The Fallen were all cleaned up after an hour, but this little accident made Leon very difficult.

In fact, there were not many dead in this bad battle, and the royal city guards were all cavalry, and they only lost a dozen people in total - the first group of people who followed Gayden to charge.

The problem is that Commander Gaydon died in battle, and at the hands of the Heretics......

Gaydon was the herald's lieutenant and the head of the overseer, who was supposed to oversee Godric.

This led the Kingsguard to believe that Godric and Amy might have done the work of these degenerates, as Amy was now accused of being a 'heretic leader'......

The Wangcheng guards didn't suspect Li Ang, after all, it was Li Ang's troops who killed the Fallen.

However, they insisted that Leon return to the Lion City to explain the situation to Ulrik, and that the king order the original plan to be maintained, and to send other overseers to the lieutenants, otherwise they would not obey anyone's orders.

It's normal for them to have such concerns, this kind of thing of dying in the middle of the road just after accepting the mission is indeed easy to see as a conspiracy, if something really goes wrong, the royal city guards will be responsible.

So Leon had to go back with Inna, ready to explain what had happened, and he had to bring a few stonemasons to testify that Gayden had died in battle to save his hometown.

Fortunately, Inna is sensible - he was assigned by Anna to assist Leon, and of course he would not work against Leon.

Therefore, Leon and Inna turned around and returned to the Lion City together, and because they were carrying a stonemason, they were naturally not fast, at least twice as slow as when they came.

On their way back to the Lion City, Leon hears the Owl Knights' characteristic teleportation sound, the night owl's cry of 'hoohohooooo'.

It was Orth, who had brought back news of Fox Town for Leon.

Orth has been searching for information on Fox Town and the surrounding area for Leon these days.

Before Leon left Long River, he asked Wendy to order the garrisons to prepare for war. The Owl Knights of Orth had previously been stationed in Trubrun, and the order would naturally be passed on to them as well.

Troubrun was a station lent by Leon to the night owls, eating the food provided by Leon and living in the territory provided by Leon, so Ors naturally had to respond to Leon's war mobilization.

So after receiving the order, the Knights of the Owl set out, only a day later than Klose.

This time, the news brought back by Orth himself was the information that Leon had never known - the crow village had been slaughtered, and there was no one left!

At the same time, many small villages around Weihu Town were slaughtered.

"Lord Leon, the situation has become very troublesome now...... The Crow Village is Godric's hometown and the fief of Lady Filina, and it is not the heretics who slaughter the Crow Village, but the people of the Lion Knights! They must have deliberately turned against Lord Godric! ”

Ors was nervous: "We confirmed with Klose that Klose had saved several villagers who had been abused. This was done by the scumbag led by Oswood's scumbag, and at the behest of the Lion Knights, who were thugs who specialized in helping the Lion Knights do the dirty work! ”

"The Raven Village was slaughtered...... Where are Lady Filina and Lord Andrew? Other than that...... Did Godric and Amy know about this? ”

Leon also realized the trouble with this situation - if something happened to Filina and Andrew, then Godric would definitely rebel!

Leon knew that Godric was already extremely dissatisfied with the current Lion Knights, and Amy, the princess knight, would not have any fear of rebellion or anything like that!

If it weren't for Lady Firina and Andrew, Godric would have been a rebel with his friends at a young age!

"Andrew is missing...... You should know what this disappearance roughly means. Lady Filina is supposed to be in the Lion City, and we found her retinue, who said she had gone to the king alone......"

Orth quickly explained the situation: "As for Miss Amy...... Sir, this was the first thing Klose found out, and he joined Miss Amy with your silver hand before I arrived—that's why I came back to tell you......"

"Knowing that Raven Village had been slaughtered, Master Godric and Miss Amy thought that the King had done so on purpose, and they had no choice. By the time I left Foxtown, they had already made up their minds to fight the Lion Knights! ”

Leon sighed heavily......

This meant that if the Fallen hadn't been encountered, and if Baron Gaydon hadn't died, Leon would have been able to reach Foxtown before Godric and Amy made such a decision.

After conveying the king's new order, Godric and Amy will not be impulsive, and everything is still redeemable.

But now...... Fox Town is already bleeding, right?

It's not a question of whether Godric and Amy can win or not, with Klose with the silver hand to help, the father and daughter duo won't lose at least.

However, this nature is different!

Li Ang accepted the reality very quickly, and since the situation had escalated, he could only go back to Lion City first and find a way to solve this completely different problem.

For example, bring Lady Filina to Godric.

Leon actually didn't expect that Filina would be in Lion City, and after asking Inna, he learned that Filina was locked up in the House of Nobles.

It was also at this time that Inna met his own father.

The communication with Inna has always been smooth, Inna is just infatuated with Anna, and there is nothing wrong with other aspects.

And the Three Prophets in the Lion City have not done anything bad at all, except to confuse the king, nor have they used any strange sorcery - in the vicinity of the Forbidden Demon Tower, it really can't be used.

So in Inna's eyes, Anna may indeed be a heretical witch, but not an evil monster.

He had no ill feelings toward the Three Prophets, and he had done nothing bad himself.

And Princess Anna asked Inna to cooperate with Leon, so he told Leon very honestly that Filina was in the tower of the House of Nobles, and cooperated with Leon to enter the House of Lords.

But no one expected that what they saw in the House of Lords would be such a scene......

Lady Filina's mutilated body lay among the flowers;

King Ulrik knelt before Filina's corpse and wept silently;

On the top floor of the tower, Anna was still standing at the window, still holding a strip of cloth in her hand—she was also a little overwhelmed, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

But this scene looks so obvious that basically everyone will think that Filina was pushed down by Princess Anna......

It's murder!

Ulrik probably thought so much - so he kept shaking, silent, hesitating, but not giving any orders.

And Leon's heart had sunk.

Filina is dead! The last person who could solve the problem is dead!

And...... This is indeed forcing Godric's family to rebel!

Oh, then there is no way......

Amy is her own 'apprentice' and does not distinguish between each other...... Family.

Godric is an elder who has been genuinely helping him.

Lady Filina, Helen's best friend, is always the aunt who defends herself.

Go to the prophet of Peculi, go to the king of Peculi!

Now, what conspiracy, what trickery, what power, what interests, what civil war is not a civil war...... It doesn't matter anymore.

It's already destined to be an enemy!

So, what needs to be done now is no longer to solve the problem......

It's the one who solves the problem of making!

– whoever they are, and whether they are human or not!

"Your Majesty......"

Finally, a guard couldn't help but break the uncomfortable silence.

"...... Get out of here! ”

Ulrik drew his sword suddenly, and roared in rage, as he had done when he had hacked the two maids to death, and began to rage completely uncontrollably.

The guards had all seen the tragic situation of the two maids, and no one wanted to follow in their footsteps, so they avoided them.

However, this time, Ulrique did not slash people indiscriminately, but rushed into the tower of the House of Lords with a sword with a blue face.

Tears in his eyes slid down his somewhat puffy face.

Innar panicked and hurriedly followed.

Leon also rushed forward with Inna, but he did not enter the Tower of the House of Lords.

He rushed straight at Lady Filina's corpse.

Taking advantage of the fact that the king had just dispersed the guards, Leon quickly left the place with the corpse in his arms, without even looking back.

The guards didn't stop them, in fact the guards didn't know what to do at all......

They didn't get any valid orders, and no one knew what was going on.

In this case, as a guard, it is best to do nothing and stick to your duty - as long as you guard the tower where the king is located and prevent people from entering and leaving, it is considered dutiful, and nothing else is seen.

Those who can serve as guards in the noble house are not fools, they really think they are blind, anyway, they all turned their backs and let Leon take the corpse away.

As soon as he left the gate of the House of Lords, Leon shouted at the gate, "Risa Dilan! Open the gates! Take the guards into the city! ”
