Chapter Twenty-Seven: Cutting down the tree first, then removing the roots

The light flickered in the Hall of Justice, and a person suddenly appeared on the holy white rock.

Heavily armoured, gold and silver. The broadsword in his hand, like his shoulders, is both broad and heavy!

The pale blue cloak moved without the wind, and the resolute face was expressionless.

Iron boots stepped on the white rock floor, and Justter didn't take a single step.

His head was impartial, his eyes were neither humble nor arrogant, and he slowly surveyed the layout of the Hall of Justice.

Click, click......

Heavy steps go to every corner.

White rock pillars, ring star patterns, stone knights kneeling on one knee... Finally, it stopped in front of the two 16-meter-tall sword knights in the center.

Reaching out to stroke his palm, William noticed that his fingers were trembling slightly.

For a moment, the hall fell into complete silence.

William silently observed Just's movements:

Although he couldn't see any emotion on the other party's face, William knew that he must not be at peace in his heart.

Compared to summoning Thranie at the beginning, William didn't know how to greet this partner for a while, and say hello? Or welcome? ……

Between thoughts,

Just patted the pedestal of the stone knight and said in a vicissitudes of life:

"I was here to receive the king's edict and become a knight captain of the fearless vanguard."

"That day, it seems like it's only been a long time, and it seems like a long, long time."

"Yes......"

Walking slowly to his side, William said, "Is there anything here that needs to be modified compared to the Hall of Justice you remember?" ”

"Everything else is good, except here, where a line of words is missing."

Just stretched out his finger and pointed to the stone pedestal:

"When I took the oath here, the moment I leaned over, I saw a sentence engraved here, Long live Pleggwe!"

William raised his eyebrows and drew his sword with a clatter.

Coming to the place where he fingered, using the sword as a carving knife, he made a few clicks and carved out the words:

Long live Pleggwe!

"I'm sorry, I haven't carved it, so it might look a little ugly."

Blowing a breath, blowing away the stone chips, looking at the line of words, William was quite satisfied, but he still said modestly and politely.

"No, it's perfect, it's perfect."

Muttering to himself, Justt slowly stood up, facing William with his head slightly bowed for the first time.

Kuang Ran let out a sound and knelt on one knee, like the posture of the six stone knights around him.

With a sword in one hand, he said angrily:

"I, the power of Plegine, Justter Thorn, am willing to offer you loyalty, love what you love, hate what you hate, and have no regrets in life and death!"

"I, William Sydes, accept your allegiance, love what you love, and hate what you hate!"

……

The door to the Hall of Justice slowly opened, and William stepped out, followed by Just.

Scott and Brayman hurried up to meet him, surprised.

Brayman glanced at the Hall of Justice.

Having followed the lord's orders before, he had emptied everyone present, when did this strange heavily armored knight appear?

Feeling the momentum coming from Just, Breman's heart trembled.

It's not just him.

Even the Grand Knight Scott, when he met Just's eyes just now, he was secretly shocked.

There was not the slightest ferocity in those eyes, but they were full of feelings such as firmness, justice, and pity.

Scott couldn't help but look away.

He was afraid that if he looked any further, he would be burned.

The group returned to the Black Rock Fort parlor, where three people were waiting, Psius, Goland, and Thranny.

"Picios, is the investigation clear? Who is our friend and who is the enemy in this Barron's territory? ”

"Look at ......"

Vice-Executive Inspector Piccius handed over the paper:

"According to our preliminary analysis, there are several big enemies in Barron's territory, namely Kelliford, Tripp, Byrne, and Pelodon. Some of them are ministers of government affairs, some are nobles, and they and the forces behind them control more than eighty percent of the power of the Barron Territory.

Although they have not yet overtly shown hostility, power clashes are inevitable.

In my opinion, they are enemies. ”

While listening to the report, I looked at the documents, and nodded from time to time.

The documents show that the Barron Lords formed five hills starting with the second lord of the previous one.

One of the largest hills is called the Lord's Castle.

The other four hills are smaller, but together they can surpass the castle of a lord.

And the spokespeople of the four hills are those four names: Kelly Ford, Tripp, Byrne, and Perodon.

Originally, when the second lord was elected, the small hill was surrounded by the big mountain, but unfortunately, the big hill fell, and the third lord who took over the big hill failed to complete the great cause.

"Of the four, the one to watch out for is Kellyford, who is in charge of the garrison of Plenty City."

"Tripp has been taken, and the other three don't seem intent on saving him."

"Byrne and Perodon are both great nobles with a long history, and they have been rooted in the Barron for many years, and no one knows how many roots they have."

William nodded, looking at the others, and everyone was silent.

The reason why Gulander did not speak was partly because he analyzed this data together with Pisius.

On the other hand, he wished that William could force Kelly Fu and the others to rebel, and then repeat the old story of the third lord.

On the couch, Serranie hummed and dangled her legs.

With a small backpack on his shoulder, he carried Tibbs in his arms......

She didn't care about these boring things, and if it weren't for William saying that she was a mage representative, she wouldn't want to attend.

For the others, Scott advocated that it was enough to follow orders, and did not want to speak. Just seemed to have the same attitude as him.

See this.

William smiled slightly:

"Big trees depend on their roots for nutrients, but can the roots still bear fruit without them?"

"Picios, I agree with your analysis. Now that they have eroded the rights of the Barrons, it is time to hand them over. ”

"I suppose you have investigated their whereabouts and where they live?"

Picios nodded: "As far as I can see, they didn't intend to hide it. ”

"Good."

Closing the document, his eyes suddenly became majestic, and he said in a deep voice:

"The order for action is hereby given."

"Gouland, you take someone to deal with Byrne and Pelodon, their highest level of force is nothing but knights, think you can do it."

"Yes, Goulander is on command!"

From William's arrangement, everyone can guess his plan, which is a decapitation operation.

Cut off the trees that block the sun, and then slowly process the roots underground.

"Also, when the mission is complete, bring their loyal men here."

"What if they don't obey?" Goulander asked.

"It's simple, kill those who don't obey, and bring those who are willing to follow."

"......" Gouland.

Listening to William's gentle and smiling words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

simply said "If you don't obey, you will be killed", according to his experience, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground.

William is going to kill "loyalty" as "disloyalty"!
