Chapter 118: "Conspiracy" (Part II)

After Edward's departure, the atmosphere in the barracks of the Battle Banner Legion still did not ease in the slightest, and even intensified, and everywhere the disgruntled and grumbling soldiers looked at the town not far away, in addition to confusion and incomprehension, there were all kinds of complaints and opinions about that town.

Because of Edward's previous agitation, the soldiers of the entire Battle Banner Legion decided that they were here to "save the city", the "reinforcements" of His Royal Highness Anson Marcherus, and now these miserly cowards actually gave them this kind of treatment, let alone reinforcements, that attitude was like sending beggars and robbers, which made the soldiers resentful.

And after experiencing the rounds of wars, the originally poor soldiers also have some savings - for the reward and salary after the war Edward has never been stingy, and the hands of the soldiers are also the most unable to save money, Edward has been using the reason of "going to Hantu City" before, and there is not much place for them to spend money in those barbarian tribes, many people are counting on being able to rest for a while after camping.

And the centurions could not do much to appease these restless big-headed soldiers, except for scolding them with sticks. Moreover, they were also unable to sleep and eat, and the hearts of the entire legion were fluctuating, so in order not to collapse the atmosphere of the legion, Lybinus had to order the soldiers to be fully armed and ready for battle at any time, and assigned tasks to all the flag regiments, so that they would not have nothing to do but complain in the barracks.

But even Lebinus himself knew that this would never work. After the Red Horse Canyon and the Eagle's Nest Valley, the Banner Regiment was not an obedient herd of sheepdogs, but a well-trained pack of wolves - only the head wolf of Edward Witwood could make them bow their heads. And for that reward and promise to fight the enemy bloodily. Whoever the others are. Even Lord Witwood's wife would never be able to command this bloodthirsty beast!

What worries him even more is whether Edward Witwood will actually come back alive - because no matter how you look at it, it feels extremely strange.

"Chief centurion, someone's coming!" a sentry standing outside the barracks fence pointed out, and Lepinus immediately looked up to see several men on horseback galloping towards the barracks, holding the banner of a flaming goshawk in their hands.

Soon. The group had already arrived at the gate of the barracks, and a middle-aged man wearing a satin robe and a gilded belt rolled over from his warhorse, followed by two retinues, and cocked his chin quite arrogantly: "I am Sir Garcia, the herald of Hantu City, and I have been ordered to come and deliver orders to the Battle Banner Legion. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Herald, but it's a pity. Running down his head, Repin humbly replied, "Lord Edward Wittwood has gone to the Twin Towers. If you're going to read the order, wait a minute - I'm going to gather all the officers in the barracks. ”

"Then hurry. What are you rubbing?!" Sir Garcia snorted coldly, and arrogantly knocked away Repynus and walked into the barracks. The silent chief centurion slapped the dust off his shoulder, only to glance at the richly dressed fellow with disdain.

Soon, all the flag commanders in the entire barracks, as well as Iska, Donner, and the little Robin, all gathered in the commander's tent, and watched the imposing herald standing in the original position of Edward, still holding a parchment scroll in his hand, and looked around at everyone before slowly reading the order written on it: "In the name of His Highness Anson Marcherus, the highest honor is bestowed on the Banner Legion - you have safeguarded the safety of the Green River Valley, and the Kingdom thanks you for your achievements!"

"Edward Witwood's illegal and disrespectful acts of collecting taxes and recruiting soldiers in the Green Valley will be punished by the Kingdom in accordance with the law, and all captured booty and property shall be surrendered to the city of Hamtu, and the recruited soldiers shall be dismissed immediately. ”

"In addition, starting today, the Battle Banner Legion will be taken over by Sir Kolbo, the chief guard of the Twin Towers, and your original leader, Chief Flag Officer Edward Witwood, will no longer be your commander, and the Battle Banner Legion must also restore the size of the original auxiliary legion as soon as possible, and reduce the supply pressure of Hantu City - everyone, all for the kingdom, God bless Turin!"

After reading this order, the whole tent was cold, and Sir Garcia haughtily glanced at the silent whispering fellows around him, and put his hands behind his back.

"What do you mean?" Donner, who was standing behind, scratched his head and glanced at Iska next to him, but the tribal leader was also at a loss, not understanding what the other party was saying.

"That is to say, these nobles of Hantu City don't need our protection. Herty, the commander of the Second Banner, sneered, and hid behind the pillar and glanced at the "Sir Garcia": "They think we are too many now, and they want to drive away a few people who eat rice!"

"So what do we do?" the little man jumped out, "We signed a deal with Lord Edward Wetwood, and now he doesn't care about it, who will pay the rest of the commission?"

"Wait until later, you are not allowed to leave this camp now, and wait for Master Kolbo to take over!" Garcia waved at him in disgust, not even thinking of looking at it more, "Now you are not Edward Witwood's subordinates, do you understand?!"

"And what about Lord Edward Witwood?" said Lybinus, "What will happen to you?"

"Edward Witwood is dead!" said the utterly impatient herald, "this heinous maniac, a lowly nobleman who has committed many crimes, will personally send him to hell with Master Kolbo of the Twin Towers!"

"Bang-!!!"

Before everyone could react to this shocking news, an explosion had already smashed the door of the tent, and a lone figure walked in from the outside, making Sir Garcia twitch his throat: "Excuse me, may I ask this uh...... Who are you, ma'am?"

"What you just said, say it again. There was only a piece of dead ash in his blue eyes, and Alan walked in a little dejected, staring at the herald standing there: "Say it again, Edward Witwood...... What's wrong with him?"

"That heinous maniac is dead, and he was killed by the hands of Master Kolbo of the Twin Towers!" snorted, looking at the blonde girl who walked in, Sir Garcia raised his chin arrogantly and pointed at her face: "Also, you haven't answered my question yet, what's your name...... Ah!!!!h

Before he could finish the last word, Eren drew his saber and rushed through the guards standing on either side of Garcia like a gale, piercing the herald's neck into his body and piercing his heart with a heart-rending howl echoing in her ears.

"Allen of the Kwyn family. Alan glared at his frightened face, pulled out his dagger and plunged him in the abdomen again: "My name is Alan Wittwood!"

The two guards who had just reacted at this time immediately drew their swords, but the little ones standing next to him, Robin and Lybinus, reacted faster than them - the chief centurion had just drawn his broadsword and stabbed one of the guys in the back of the neck, and Robin Clover pulled an arrow directly from the quiver and threw it hard, piercing the back of the head of the other guard, and the blood-stained arrow pierced out of his mouth, tearing his tongue to pieces.

All the flag leaders were stunned in place, completely stunned, and watched in a daze as Eren pulled out the gorgeous saber from Garcia's corpse, and the blood splattered red the ends of her hair, looking at everyone like a monster: "Edward left yesterday, and if we leave now, we may be in time." ”

"I need your allegiance to me, Excellencies. The blonde girl with a face like death, with a cold expression, raised the sword that was still dripping blood, and pointed at everyone present: "If anyone decides to betray Edward here, I will forgive him......"

"But I'm going to kill him!" Alan said almost through gritted teeth, "I will do what I say!" (To be continued.) )
