The First Legion is a city defense force, which is responsible for the security work of Silvermoon Fort, which has 4,000 soldiers, complete arms, complete equipment, and is equipped with military mages and healing shamans, which is a formed professional army.

Confronting such an army head-on, not to mention Shabolai and Rosen, even if they add 500 Silver Moon Rangers, they may not have a chance.

It's absolutely not okay to come by force.

But it's not all without opportunities.

One of the biggest opportunities is that this army has always been under the direct control of Count Omisia, loyal only to Count Omisia.

Although the situation has changed recently, and the count is seriously ill and unconscious, in just one day, Vobos will certainly not be able to fully control this army.

At most, it is to install some cronies, and the control of this army is definitely far less strong than the second army directly under his control.

On the way to the city defense barracks, Rosen carefully briefed Chapole on the current situation of the barracks.

"During the day, Vobos has sought out the Legion Commander, the Banksy Knight."

"He directly promised Banks to be the Baron of Crescent Town, and Banks was very impressed, but also had a lot of concerns, and was currently vacillating, and did not directly defect to Vopos."

Shabolai was immediately angry.

"Big brother is so shameless, he actually took out things that are not his own to do favors."

"This Banksy is also shameless, and he dares to be moved!"

"Even if the eldest brother gives him Crescent Town, can he be a martial artist from a small aristocratic background?"

The Banksy family is just a minor aristocracy and has always been obscure.

If it weren't for Kempland. Banksy has a strong talent for martial arts, and with the careful cultivation of Count Sophia, the Banksy family declined decades ago.

Such a small family, with no prestige, no connections, and no military exploits, with the strength of a great samurai, dares to covet the position of baron, it is really a toad who thinks of the moon and dreams at night!

Maybe hundreds of years ago could, but times have changed now.

Rosen thinks this is normal: "It is the dream of every nobleman to become a lord, and in the face of such a promise, people will be confused."

"And the Banks Knight didn't agree directly, just hesitated, indicating that his mind was already rarely clear."

Shapole shrugged his shoulders: "Well, you're right."

Soon, the two were at an altitude of 500 meters above the barracks.

Looking down from above, you can see that the barracks are brightly lit, and it looks like a great enemy.

Shabol was a little surprised: "What's the situation?"

"The emergency evacuation of the military mage will naturally alarm the Banks Knights."

"Although I didn't guess our plan, out of the instinct of the commander-in-chief, the camp was greatly strengthened."

"What then?"

"Don't do anything, just continue according to the plan."

If there were mages in the barracks, there would be no chance of infiltrating.

But now there is no mage, it is still night, and he also knows the location of the various detection spells in the barracks, so there is no difficulty in sneaking in.

Seeing the rest position of the commander of the legion, Lawson used a dandelion, and the two began to slowly fall to the ground.

As he fell, Lawson's mind moved again, and he directly applied a high-level spell Thorn Shield with extreme dexterity on himself and Shabolai, and then borrowed the auxiliary spellcasting bracelet to release two high-level physical thorn shields with extreme dexterity.

Breaking through the mana strength of Master Level 2, coupled with the powerful effect of the Mana Torrent Staff, made the strength of these two high-level spells break through to the ultimate level of Master Level 2.

It's just a little bit away from Master Level 3.

If you use the Calm Mind Bracelet again, you can break through to Master Level 3.

Of course, calming down is a life-saving trick, so naturally it will not be used at such a time.

After the four high-level spells with extreme dexterity, Lawson's mana still had more than sixty percent, and it was rising wildly at a rate of recovering one percent in one minute.

"Uncle, in case the Banksy Knight is confused and wants to be a baron, we have to kill him, and then I will strike first, and you will follow immediately."

Xia Bolai's expression was grim: "Banks has been a great warrior for more than two years, and it is said that the highest attack strength has broken through to the master level 2, can you kill him?" ”

"Don't worry, no problem."

The power of a samurai and a mage is not the same.

The samurai's strength exploded rapidly, almost instantaneously, but it lacked the key step of 'focusing', and there was basically no big gap between the combat skills that erupted and the strength in the body.

However, mages are at the other extreme, and have gone to the extreme on the path of 'power focus', so low-level mages can often burst spells far beyond their own strength strength.

Of course, the trade-off is a slow cast speed and a lack of strain.

However, powerful mages can use a variety of techniques to circumvent this flaw as much as possible.

For example, Lawson has a soul spell, and the calm and leisure technique can be perfectly circumvented.

At this time, only 200 meters from the ground, Rosen had a thought, and used an extraordinary mirror technique on himself and Shabolai.

After a few seconds, Rosen's appearance changed to that of a Bige mage, and Shabolai became a normal mage retinue.

The mirror spell is just a low-level spell, even if it is changed to an extraordinary version, the camouflage ability is actually average.

During the day, ordinary people can find flaws when they get closer and take a closer look.

But it's midnight, and not only is the light dark, but everyone is sleepy, so it can be almost perfect for camouflage.

When he was done, Rosen took out a mage badge and hung it on his chest, but it was an ordinary mid-level 9-star badge borrowed from Big.

"Uncle, don't talk later, just follow me. I'll take care of everything. ”

"Okay."

The altitude continued to fall, and soon fell into a remote shadow, about 50 meters from the commander's barracks.

It's not that Lawson doesn't want to get closer, but the commander's barracks has a constant lot of detection spells, and even if the mage withdraws, it is difficult to get close quietly.

Following the route provided by Master Bige, Rosen calmed down a little, and then took Shabolai and swaggered out of the hideout, towards the commander's barracks.

After walking a few dozen meters, I met a group of patrol guards.

When the patrol leader saw Rosen, he immediately shouted: "Stop! Report your identity! ”

Rosen stopped and lowered his voice: "I am a follower of Vobos, a mid-level mage Bige, I have received a secret order from the marshal, and I have something important to see Commander Banks!" ”

As he spoke, Rosen pulled out the Legion ID that Master Bige had given him from his pocket.

The captain of the guard stretched out his hand to take it, and after a careful examination, his face was puzzled: "Didn't the mages have something to do?" Why are you back? ”

Rosen frowned, and urged impatiently: "This is an urgent order from Marshal Vobos, and the time is very tight. Lead the way, guards! ”

Hearing him say this, the patrol captain was shocked, although he was a grassroots level, he vaguely knew the situation, so he naturally didn't dare to offend the mage at this time.

"Then follow me!"

He waved at the two of them and led the way.

After a while, he led the two of them to a huge stone building.

This stone house was the barracks where the commander lived, with three floors, covering an area of at least one acre, and two tall and sturdy guards stood on either side of the gate.

Although it was early in the morning, he was still upright and vigilant.

The equipment on his body is also very sophisticated, wearing steel chain mail on the outside, silver chest guard on the inside, a silver shield in his left hand, and a spear in his right hand.

When the two saw the patrol leader coming with two mages, they stopped talking from afar.

"Come, stop! Inform your identity! ”

The patrol leader immediately said: "It is Marshal Fubo's confidant, Master Bige, who said that he brought the marshal's urgent order. The identity has been verified and there are no problems. ”

The two guards were much more vigilant, and their eagle-like sharp eyes swept over the group of people, and a suspicious look quickly appeared in their eyes.

"Master Bigo, I remember you didn't just leave the camp?"

Rosen nodded: "I just received a call from the Mage Guild and had to answer the call. ”

"But I soon received a secret order from the marshal that the summons of the guild were most likely the work of the people of Shapole."

"The marshal ordered me to rush back urgently, just in case."

"In addition, I have brought a new message from the marshal to inform Commander Banks."

When the guard heard this, he said, "If you have any message, tell me directly, and I will pass it on on your behalf." ”

Rosen sneered: "I said, you are bold enough to dare to spy on the marshal's words?!" ”

"This"

Seeing the guard's hesitation, Lawson seized the opportunity, glared at him, and let out a low shout.

"The military situation is urgent, you can't delay at all, why don't you lead the way quickly?!"

The two guards were only mid-level samurai, and in terms of subtle spiritual defense, they were defeated by Lawson, who had half the soul of a master, in one fell swoop.

He was restrained by Rosen.

The guard only felt a burst of timidity in his heart, and only promised: "Okay, good~ I'll lead the way." ”

He turned and opened the barracks door and waved at Rosen, "Come with me, Master Bige." ”

Rosen followed, and Shabolai followed.

The guard immediately stopped: "You stay, just go in alone." ”

Rosen sneered: "Guard, don't be too troubled!" This is my most trusted retinue, and he is there wherever I am! ”

The guard was timid again, and backed down again: "Okay then." ”

Then, the two followed the guards into the sturdy stone tower.

The inside of the stone building is not very spacious, and there is a spell lamp installed in the corner, and the light is quite bright.

Elite guards can be seen guarding every corner, and their strength is generally at the middle level, or even the peak of the middle level.

Rosen also knew that in addition to these elite guards, there were also two high-level peak warriors living inside, who were the left and right overseers of the First City Defense Legion.

For traditional mages, this kind of narrow place with no room for maneuver is no different from the Dragon Cave, and if there is a real conflict, they will be killed in an instant.

Fortunately, Lawson is not a traditional mage.

The first floor of the stone house is the council hall, and the second floor is the secret meeting hall.

At this time, it is natural to go to the secret meeting hall.

Arriving at the secret meeting hall, the guard pointed to the chair: "Sit down first, I'll go and inform the commander." ”

With that, he turned around and went to the third floor.

Rosen sat in a chair, and Shabol stood beside him as a retinue.

After a full quarter of an hour, there was an unusually dull sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the hall.

'Gaz~Gaz~~Gaz~~'

The wooden hallway groaned, as if it would be trampled down in the next moment.

As soon as he heard this voice, Xia Bolai's spirit tensed to the extreme, and his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the knife.

Rosen also clearly felt a tremendous oppressive force, which he had never experienced in other samurai.

Not even when he faced the leader of the Ice-Blooded Samurai Regiment in White Horse Town.

Obviously, the person who came should be the first warrior of Silvermoon Castle, the great warrior Kampran, known as the Silvermoon Sword God. Banksy too.

After a while, a tall figure of at least one meter nine appeared at the door of the secret meeting hall, and the flickering lights in the hall reflected on him, reflecting a blue metallic luster.

This guy actually wore a heavy Serquim plate armor, and his whole body was firmly wrapped, leaving only a breathing hole and a narrow observation slit in the helmet.

And such a plate armor like a tin can, which definitely weighs more than 80 kilograms, is no wonder it makes such a terrible movement.

The weapons of the visitors were two large swords with a length of more than one and a half meters.

It was obviously a two-handed sword, but this person used it as a one-handed sword, and it was inserted upside down on the weapon rack behind his back, which looked extremely powerful.

In short, this is the number one macho man in Silvermoon Castle.

He walked into the chamber and his eyes circled across Shabolae's and Rosen's faces, and a cold sneer erupted from Serkin's helmet.

"The prodigal young master Xia Bolai and his capable mage child actually came to my barracks at midnight to pretend to be ghosts, it's funny~~ It's really funny."

He saw through Lawson's illusion of spell at a glance.

Lawson was not surprised, because his mirror technique could only deceive ordinary people.

Then since it was recognized, there was no need to pretend.

Shapole took a step forward and asked in a condensed voice, "I want to ask you, knight of Banks, are you still loyal to my aunt?" ”

Knight Banksy didn't answer directly, he walked to the head of the conference hall and stood on the main seat of the conference hall.

It's not that he doesn't want to sit, it's that it's uncomfortable to sit in plate armor.

His eyes stared at Shabol through the observation slit.

"Madame has a great kindness to me, and of course I am loyal to her."

Shapole took out the Earl's Succession Scroll, walked to the lamplight, opened the scroll, and showed it to the Banks Knight.

"After my aunt fell into a coma, she briefly woke up with the help of the High Priest of Fao, and wrote this succession book."

Kampland's eyesight is amazing, and from a distance of seven or eight meters, he can also see the handwriting and emblem on the secret order.

He was surprised: "Is the Count mad?"

Xia Bolai shook her head: "My aunt is very sober-minded, since she trusts me and is willing to pass on the throne to me, I will not refuse." ”

"Now I wonder if you, as the commander of the First Legion, who have sworn allegiance to the House of Omixia, are willing to follow the Count's orders and support me as the new Count."

Banksy was silent, his hands propped up on the conference table, lost in thought.

After a long time, he spoke: "During the day, Vobos asked me something similar. And I can't be sure of the authenticity of your succession, as it is likely that you forged it with Malkyry. ”

Upon hearing this, Shabolai's brows furrowed.

Rosen immediately knew that Banksy had been moved by Vappos' words, but he had not yet completely fallen to Vappos.

He is saying this now, most likely because he wants to take advantage of this wave to seek greater benefits for himself.

He said directly, "Banks, do you think you can be a good Baron of Crescent Town?" ”

The Banksy Knight shrugged: "I'd love to try." ”

Rosen said: "It just so happens that I also want to become a baron of Crescent Town, and it is also me who personally created the current Crescent Town. ”

"If you want to be a baron, you are my mortal enemy, and at the same time, you are also the mortal enemy of Maple Leaf Town, Fanggu Town, and Riverside Town."

"Trust me, even if you become a Baron of Crescent, you will have nothing."

Banksy tapped his finger lightly on the table, making a 'tuk-tuk' sound.

After a long time, he spoke: "I think that you may be the only enemy of mine. If you're gone, the other three towns won't turn against me, at most I'll accompany them for some money. ”

Xia Bolai was shocked and angry when he heard this: "Banks, my aunt values Lawson very much, you dare to do it, when she wakes up, the first one wants you to look good!" ”

Rosen smiled faintly: "Actually, you know very well that you can't be a baron, otherwise you would have dealt with me by now, instead of saying such nonsense." ”

Banks spread his hands: "Mayor Rosen really understands people. ”

He turned his head to look at Shabolai, "I'll just say it, Shabolai, I can acknowledge the succession and support you to become the new High Lord of the Highlands." ”

"But what your eldest brother promised is the Baron, what about you, what can you give me?"

Shabolé hesitated, because he couldn't promise two barons to the other party, right?

While he was hesitating, Rosen's psychic voice came from his side.

"Uncle, this Banksy has been aroused by Fupos and has become very arrogant, and he must be suppressed fiercely, otherwise it will be difficult to control it in the future."

If you simply give money, double, three or even five times it's okay, but this guy covets the lord's position, and even ignores the earl's succession book for this, then it's a big problem.

If you don't suppress him in time, let him realize the hardships of the world, and satisfy his greed, then his appetite will grow bigger and bigger, even to the point where he can't end it.

Originally, Rosen wanted to show Fei Lun's death certificate to convince the other party, but now, he has changed his mind.

Xia Bolai was stunned: "How can you suppress it?" ”

"Uncle, don't worry, let me come."

With that, Lawson stood up and looked at Banks in a cold voice.

"Knight Banks, it seems to me that your ignorance of the Count's succession means that you have forgotten your original oath and have been carried away by greed."

"But I'm going to tell you, you're not that important, and you're not as powerful as you think."

Banks was stunned, he didn't expect Rosen's attitude to be so rigid.

He spread his hands: "So, are we talking about it?" ”

Rosen shook his head: "No, I'm just going to make you know where you are!" ”

Banksy snorted, "How do you recognize it?" ”

Lawson was standing with the old god: "Let's go to the school field, I'll stand in place, motionless to pick up your six swords!" ”

"If you can break through my spell defenses, you're the Baron of Crescent."

"Otherwise, you will honestly put away your thoughts, be the commander of your city defense legion, and support Shapole to become the new count."

"Of course, we won't let you suffer."

"Fifty thousand kroner reward, paid in one lump sum."

Banksy chuckled.

"Interesting~~ It's really fun!"

"It's the first time I've heard such arrogant words in the two years since I became a samurai, and it has aroused my desire to win very violently!"

"You're only 16 years old this year, and you can say such things in front of me, no wonder you have such an achievement."

"Then my words are here too."

"If you can really take my six swords, I don't want a single gram, and fully support Shapole to become the Earl of Silvermoon Castle!"
