The wait time always seemed extraordinarily long, especially to the Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church and the head of the Knights of the Light, Zeni Keamo. He had to be anxious, first of all, this morning, Prince Verdor Klein, who was about to become the new emperor of the Holy Asyr Empire (at least in his opinion, this is undoubtedly) had inexplicably become a murderer, and the victim turned out to be the prince's younger brother, Another contender for the throne, Prince Argu Crane, and then a girl of unknown origin intercepted the horse he was riding at night, and before the attendants could curse, the young girl left on her own and left on her own, and a large number of knights of the Holy Light searched the vicinity, but could not find any trace of the girl.

"The patience of the knights of the Blood Griffin Knights cannot last until the end of the council's trial, and if you want your Royal Highness to live to receive a fair trial, you would do well to visit the Imperial Capital Prison tonight. "That's what the girl who calls herself a Green Leaf Cultist said, and that's why the Archbishop led the Knights of Light to the Imperial Capital Prison late this night. Of course, the Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church would not take the words of such an unknown girl, but on the one hand, the girl was wearing the clothes of a lady-in-waiting in a noble mansion, which made the Archbishop believe that the girl might know some special inside information, and on the other hand, many of the city's residents privately informed the Church that the Blood Griffin Knights were gathering in their military camp in the northern part of Onyx City, and that the inhabitants were all Green Leaf Cultists, so what they said should be credible. After a little discussion with his subordinates, the Archbishop decided to lead most of the Knights of Light in the city to the Imperial Capital Prison to protect His Royal Highness, rather than worrying about the presence of Emperor Anfil XXXIV. and the leafy church of the body of Prince Jacques Klein, who was killed this morning, was attacked. It is better to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Fodor Klein first. Even in the palace of Prince Verdor. The worried princess felt the same way, but when the archbishop reported to the princess, Princess Sayari Klein, wife of the Minister of State, Baron Wesley Rueda, was in the princess's room, so the archbishop did not describe the girl's interception on the road to the princess.

But things were not expected by the archbishop. Before the recent series of times, especially before the assassination of Emperor Anfil XXXIV, the security of Onyx City, as well as the guards of the Imperial Capital Prison, were usually held by the Knights of the Holy Light and the Blood Griffin Knights stationed in Onyx City in turn. Although each place had its own guards, no one would refuse to join two of the three major knights of the empire, but after the Dragon's Tooth Knights entered Onyx, they immediately took over the position of guard that had been rotated or even shared by the other two knights. Therefore, tonight they will be guarded in the guards inside and outside the Imperial Capital Prison. There were no knights affiliated with the Knights of Light, and the first Knights of Light to arrive at the Imperial Capital Prison under the Archbishop's dispatch were stopped by the guards and the Dragon's Tooth Knights who assisted the guards.

The Archbishop did not send anyone to inform the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, Count Brad Klein, about tonight's action. The reason is very simple, the assassination of the prince this morning has made the three major knights of the empire lose face, and the archbishop can also see that the earl has not had a good rest for many days, although there is no interaction with the earl, but the archbishop does not want the earl to be overworked, after all, there are more important matters to be discussed by the imperial high-ranking tomorrow, including the trial of His Royal Highness Prince Verdor Klein, and the question of the emperor's heir. Zeni Keamo only hoped that even if the Blood Griffin Knights did come and try to attack the Imperial Capital Prison tonight, they would see a large number of Holy Light Knights nearby and give up such a ridiculous act.

Archbishop Cseni Keamo, who came to the gate of the Imperial Capital Prison, felt quite unhappy. When he arrived, the guards and the Knights of Light, who had arrived outside the Imperial Capital Prison earlier, were carrying the wounded on both sides in their own direction. "What's going on? I've sent you here to protect His Royal Highness. And not with the guards. Before he could dismount, the archbishop asked in a loud voice.

A high-ranking knight of the Holy Light approached the archbishop: "Your Excellency, they say that no one will be allowed to enter or leave the Imperial Capital Prison until tomorrow unless Count Brad Klein is there. ”

"Even so, make it clear to them that it was my order, why do I see people injured here?" said the archbishop, checking the wounded who had been carried out, and it was clear that they had only been injured by punches and kicks.

The Knight of Light answered his captain's question with some hesitation: "They say that neither the Bishop nor the Minister of State is present in person. This is the Bloody Earl ......" The Knight of Light suddenly noticed the archbishop's fierce gaze, he interrupted his words for a moment, and corrected the title of the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights: "This is an order from Count Brad Klein, and those who violate the order will only be punished by that one." ”

Legend has it that the Dragon's Tooth Knights punish those who violate their orders with only one measure, which is immediate execution. The archbishop frowned, jumped off his horse and walked towards the lifting gate of the Imperial Capital Prison. When several guards saw the archbishop's figure, they immediately greeted him.

Before the guards could speak, the archbishop said bluntly: "What are you doing? Get out of the way, we're going to go in and protect His Royal Highness." ”

"I'm sorry, but according to the order of the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, this place is not allowed until dawn. The guards replied rather politely.

"I'm Zeni Keamo of the Knights of the Light, and I order you to get out of the way at once. After glancing at the guards in front of him, and knowing that they were just ordinary low-level guards, the archbishop decided not to waste too much of his tongue on them. At this time, several knights also leaned over, the red cloak indicated that they were members of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, and one of the leading knights did not wear a helmet, and the long and short stripes on his breastplate were the marks of the senior knights of the Dragon's Tooth Knights. The senior knight walked up and bowed to the archbishop, "Good night, Lord Bishop." Our head of the regiment ordered us not to allow anyone to enter or leave, and asked the Bishop for his pardon. ”

"I ......" didn't expect to come in person. The archbishop, who would also be turned away, was speechless for a while. Instead, the members of the Knights of Light beside the archbishop began to make an uproar. Someone shouted, "What are you doing? How dare you talk to the leader of the Knights of Light like this?"

Hearing the shouts of the people, the senior knight of the Dragon Tooth Knights, who was facing the archbishop, smiled slightly, and bowed to the archbishop again: "Although I am only a small senior knight, I am not affiliated with the Holy Light Knights, so I can only obey the orders of the head of our knights. I think His Excellency Bishop understands our position, and if he is offended, he will not be surprised. ”

"Yes, both knights. I was also able to understand the meaning of the command. The archbishop glanced back at the crowd, but could not see who had just uttered such provocative words: "Although my knights seem to have had a bit of a conflict with you before, it is the purpose of our visit to go in and protect His Royal Highness. Or I will go in alone to accompany His Royal Highness, I am the same rank as the head of the Knights of the Order of Count Brad Klein, and the Count should not punish you for this. ”

Listening to the archbishop's words, the dragon tooth knights and the guards looked at each other, and even the senior knights led by them couldn't make up their minds for a while. After all, if the other party was speaking as the head of the Knights of the Holy Light, and if he was the only one to enter, Count Brad Klein should indeed not be held accountable for this matter. After looking down and thinking about it, the senior knight looked up and was about to speak. A stone suddenly flew out of the crowd, swept over the archbishop's shoulder, and struck the senior knight in the eye.

Whether it is the archbishop or the senior knight of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, the face of the archbishop. Everything changed immediately: the archbishop hurriedly turned around and tried to find the provocative guy from the crowd of knights, the archbishop had been sure that the dragon tooth knight in front of him would let him enter the imperial capital prison, while the senior knight covered the corners of his eyes, his face was full of surprise, he had no idea that he would be attacked so unexpectedly when talking to the head of the Holy Light Knights.

However, as a member of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, the veteran knight immediately decided to maintain his knightly dignity. I saw that the senior knight immediately let go of the corners of his eyes, and let the blood flow down his face into his neck armor: "I'm sorry, Lord Bishop. The order of our regimental commander is that no one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone, including the Bishop, of course, I will send someone to inform the Master of the Regiment, and ask the Bishop to be patient until the Count arrives. The senior knight's hand rested on the hilt of his sword at his waist, and the straightness of his waist seemed to confirm his determination to uphold the orders of his regimental commander. A dragon tooth knight behind the senior knight left the gate of the Imperial Capital Prison without hesitation under the gaze of his superiors, and after a few rude pushes and collisions, he disappeared into the crowd.

The archbishop is not a person who has not seen a big scene, the archbishop has participated in several battles in the west of the Holy Asserr Empire as the head of the Holy Light Knights, but now standing in front of him, after all, are members of the Dragon's Tooth Knights of his own empire, and they really can't be called enemies. The archbishop didn't know what to say, but raised a hand out of the corner of the senior knight's eye, and the archbishop's hand carried a medical magic that would stop the blood that still gushed out of the senior knight.

But the Knights of Light behind the archbishop were angered by the arrogant attitude of the senior knights and the rude actions of the Dragontooth Knights who had gone to report to Count Brad Crane. I don't know who was the first to draw the long sword, but in an instant, the surrounding knights of the Holy Light already held their skilled weapons in their hands, and the dragon tooth knights who saw this did not show weakness, and let their weapons leave the sheath at their waists, and the guards on the door also pointed their bows and arrows in the direction of the archbishop. In the midst of a golden symphony, the senior knight of the Dragon's Tooth Knights gently opened the archbishop's hand that was reaching out to the corner of his eye, and turned to walk towards the Imperial Capital Prison.

Seeing this, the Knights of the Holy Light were even more excited, and if it weren't for the slightly angry eyes of the archbishop turning around, it would have been difficult for the senior knights to return to the walls of the Imperial Capital Prison. The archbishop heard a rumbling behind him, and as soon as the Dragontooth Knight and the guards entered the gate, the heavy lifting gate fell with a bang, separating the Knight of Light from Prince Verdor Klein in the Imperial Capital Prison.

The Dragon's Tooth Knights and the High Knight Isis didn't like the mage Hess who rode along with him.

For knights who have been in the company of metal armor and swords for many years, mages who look weak on the outside (at least in the eyes of knights) are not too worthy of respect, not to mention the fact that the mage Hess has only been a member of the Dragon's Tooth Knights for only three years, but his status in the knights is similar to that of Isis, who has fought bloodily for thirty years to be qualified to engrave the surface of the cuirass as a symbol of the status of a superior knight. Although the number of mages is less than one-thirtieth of the total number of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, Hess, who leads the Dragon's Tooth Knights' mage group, is already one of the four high-ranking knights in the Knights.

Not only did he have a distrustful attitude towards Hess's mage profession, but the superior knight Isis also had an untrusting attitude towards Hess himself, and Isis, who had experienced four changes in the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, had always been very confident in the vision of the current leader, Count Brad Crane, but he could not agree with the use of Hess as the leader of the mage group.

Soon after Count Brad Klein took over the position of head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights four years ago, he formed a mage group composed of mages recruited from all over the world. It was at that time that Hess volunteered to join the Dragon's Tooth Knights, and Hess, who was not yet thirty years old, claimed to be a wandering mage, and did not have any of the hallmarks of the regional mage guild on him. A year later, Count Brad Klein realized that it was not a good idea to have other high-ranking knights at the helm of the mage group: knights who could not understand advanced arcane magic could not communicate well with them, and proud mages did not want to accept the command of knights with no knowledge of magic. It just so happened that the superior knight who was also the leader of the mage group at that time had reached retirement age, so when Isis was promoted to the rank of high knight, the mage group also had a new leader: this year, Hess, who had done quite well, was given the rank of knight by Count Brad Crane. The rapid promotion and some deliberate displays of his abilities made Isis always a little wary of Hess, and on several occasions Isis tried to speak to the regimental commander, Count Brad Crane, but the count claimed that his armor had magical protection and that he did not need to worry about the mage's surprise attack.
