0103 Things are always going to get in the way
Hucaro City is not too far from Boris City.
Even with the army, there were dozens of donkey carts for freight, and the speed was relatively slow, and after a day's walk, they reached their destination in the evening.
Unlike the towering and tall walls of Boris, the walls of Hucaro are much smaller.
The walls of Boris were made of stone.
Hucarlo's walls are mud bricks, and they are just over five meters high, which is a little higher than Hadi after he transforms into a Nightmare Knight.
Hardy reckons that if he gives his Nightmare Form a light maneuver, he will be able to jump over the wall.
As the sun sets, the city is shrouded in orange light, and it looks very warm.
At the gates of the city, merchant caravans and civilians came and went, and there was a little harmony.
The city did not have a dedicated military passage, so it had to squeeze a gate with ordinary people.
Just when he got closer, the civilians went into hiding.
The passage to the city gate was vacant.
There is no way, anyone who sees more than 100 soldiers and more than 100 cavalry walking towards him will subconsciously retreat.
But when the guards at the gate saw the army coming, they subconsciously closed the city gate.
Rogge ran to the front first, shouting, "The new owner of Hucaro City, Viscount Hardy, is coming to take office, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate to greet him?" ”
The team leader who was in charge of guarding the city gate looked at the army of more than two hundred people below and swallowed.
Now in Hucaro City, there are only more than 100 guards at most, and he looks down at the angel banner raised by Hadi and others, and then looks at the more than 100 cavalrymen full of silver armor, and his head is in a cold sweat.
He already knew that the person below should be the real thing, but he still shouted, "Please wait, I need to ask His Excellency Eiffel for instructions to verify your identity." ”
Rogge didn't feel anything, in his opinion, it was normal to verify the right body.
But when he returned to Hardy, he found his owner smiling strangely.
"Master, is there something wrong?"
"When I was chatting with Lady Sissi, I learned that Evel was supposed to be Lady Sissi's housekeeper when she was a girl."
The city of Hucaro was originally the fiefdom of Lady Sissi, who spent her time here from the age of eleven to her marriage at the age of fifteen.
Rogge reacted: "The master means that this Evel butler has become the de facto master of Hucarlo?" ”
"It should be." Hardy nodded: "Otherwise, I can't understand why the defenders would ask a butler for instructions." ”
Rogge was immediately furious: "A mere civilian, how dare you ...... like this"
He couldn't find an adjective.
Hardy shook his head indifferently: "I guess it's because the Jeanne family hasn't taken care of this place, at most, the tax money is handed over, so I don't care." ”
"Master, do you want us to prepare for the siege?" Rogge smiled sadly.
Thanks to Hadi's behavior of throwing coins, the soldiers under his command are not afraid of battle at all.
I even wish there was a fight.
If you win and get a lot of money, your family will be guaranteed if you die, and you're afraid of a ball.
"Alas, the order was given to set up a siege formation." Hardy stepped back a bit, out of range of the opposing archers.
Hardy felt that it was appropriate to be prepared for both.
He is not afraid of evil to the other party, he is the rightful lord of Hucaro City, and everything he does is right.
But if the other party really dares to have some crooked thoughts, it is not a bad choice to kill it directly.
After this order was given, both infantry and cavalry took up positions.
The squad leader on the city wall trembled with fright.
But even so, he still didn't let the city gates open.
Hardy sat on the horse, looked at Hucaro City from afar, and sighed: "I thought I could take it over smoothly, but I still have to make something happen?" ”
A silver-armored cavalryman walked up to Hardy, and the knight on the horse opened his mask to reveal his face, which was the knight Marlock.
He looked at Hadi and asked, "Your Excellency, we don't have siege equipment, and it is a little difficult to forcibly open the city gates. ”
"It's okay, this gate is made of wood, I'll break it open later."
Listening to Hardy's understatement, Mallock subconsciously swallowed his saliva and stepped back.
He thought of Hardy's Nightmare Knight form, the kind of giant monster that would be easy to break through a broken wooden gate.
After waiting for a while, the sky was about to completely darken, and when Hardy was about to transform into a Nightmare Knight and charge, the Butler of Evel finally appeared on the city wall.
When he came up, he still didn't care about it: "Isn't there just a viscount?" No fuss, let's make the Rangna family ......."
Then he saw the army under the city walls, which had been formed in battle.
All of a sudden, he was so frightened that he was sweating all over, and at the same time hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, open the city gate quickly." ”
"Don't you need to check it?"
"Check a ghost, if you dare to say that you want to check your body, the other party will come in."
The gates quickly opened, and Rog led the infantry inside.
This was followed by Hadi and the logistics troops, and the cavalry was cut off.
As Hardy entered the city, he saw an elderly man kneeling on one knee on the side of the road.
This old man is dressed quite luxuriously, not only in good clothes, but also in good quality.
Hardy sat on his steed and looked down at him, "You're Ever?" ”
"Your Excellency, Dear Viscount, yes."
"I heard from Lady Sissi about you, and he said that you are a very honest and reliable person."
Ever's expression paused for a moment, then smiled, "I haven't seen Miss Sissi for a long time, and I miss her very much. ”
"You can go to Jeanne Manor in the city of Boris and find her and continue to serve her."
"I'm old, clumsy, and my head is not flexible, and now I am prone to make mistakes, so I won't bother Miss Sissi."
The other party was respectful and answered all questions, but Hardy still heard unconvinced from the other party's tone.
"Since you're old, retire, I have my own housekeeper, you take care of your old age."
Ever's body paused, and he looked up, about to speak angrily, but then he saw Hadi's smiling face.
He was handsome, but his eyes were cold.
Evre's body trembled, and he immediately lowered his head and said in disappointment, "Yes, Your Excellency the Viscount." ”
Hardy stopped looking at him and rode away.
After walking for a while, the Maloc cavalry leaned up and whispered, "Your Excellency Hadi, don't you give that old man enough severance pay?" ”
Because Hardy has always given people the impression of being very sympathetic and caring for his subordinates.
This kind of direct dismissal doesn't seem to fit well with Hardy's image.
But he's confident that Hardy won't mess around for no reason.
Hardy smiled: "It seems that your previous life was quite hard." ”
Mallock didn't understand even more, what does this have to do with himself?
Hardy explained, "The suit on his body is about the same price as your armor and horse armor combined. Are you still worried about him starving to death? ”
Marlock's eyes widened.
