Chapter 496 [The Man of Seed] (I)

At night, it seems that there are a forest of torches on the shore, and it is not known how many troops are gathered there. And when the men shouted for their horses, they saw archers galloping along the way on the shore, and cavalry galloping back and forth.

Many of the small boats that were recruited were full of soldiers.

As soon as I saw this posture, something very big had happened.

This boat was originally a big ship owned by the church, and Chen Daolin took advantage of the church on this trip, and the boat on this boat belonged to the church's property.

At this moment, there were officers and soldiers on the shore shouting, and naturally there were also people from the church who came forward to deal with it.

Soon, the boat slowed down, and small boats approached nearby.

The officers and men on the boat lit torches, and someone shot an arrow with an arrow folded off the arrow, and a note tied to the shaft of the arrow, opened it, but it was an official military order.

The boat began to land, and several small boats around quickly came up, leaned against the side of the boat, and after lowering the ropes, soldiers boarded the boat.

More than a dozen people came up, Chen Daolin stood in the cabin on the top floor and looked at it, and he could identify it at a glance, it was wearing the uniform of the Wangcheng Guards, and two of them were actually wearing the standard armor of the Royal Forest Army.

Chen Daolin saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

This place has already left the imperial capital, and it is reasonable to say that it is beyond the jurisdiction of the royal city guards. And...... Even the Imperial Forest Army was alarmed and appeared here, so I'm afraid this thing is not small!

After watching the people who boarded the ship and talking with the owner for a while, a clergyman of the church came forward and walked out of the cabin to negotiate with the other party - the clergyman Chen Daolin recognized that he was the leader of the group of people sent by Pope Heynckes, and in the Temple of Light, it seemed that he was also in charge of the position. I used to talk to myself on the way.

The soldiers seemed to be much more polite when confronted with the head of the church. Two officers also saluted him. But then they looked at the conversation, as if it were not very pleasant, and the attitude of the two officers gradually became very resolute, and the head of the church seemed to try to explain something, but the two officers only shook their heads.

After a few moments, the head of the church turned and left the deck, and walked up the steps towards the upper cabin.

Chen Daolin sighed in his heart, and simply took the initiative to walk out of the cabin and stood at the top of the stairs.

"Master Darling. ”

This church minister came to the top. He bowed to Chen Daolin first, and then said in a low voice: "Something has happened, these officers and soldiers want to requisition our ships." ”

Chen Daolin smiled: "Requisition our ship?"

"Yes. The head of the church seemed to be a little unhappy, shook his head and said: "It seems that there is a big case, a group of bandits have escaped from the imperial capital, and they are also coming here by boat." These officers and soldiers copied up from the land route first and intercepted them here. They were in too much of a hurry to mobilize the ships in the army. I had to recruit civilian boats on the spot to block this river. ”

"Oh, that is, those bandits, right now in the river behind us. Are you heading here?" Chen Daolin immediately remembered that he had heard the movement from behind him before.

The head of the church looked a little ugly: "These guys are so stubborn that I can't listen to what I say." The ship was the property of the Church, according to imperial law. They have no power to expropriate. But these rude people in the army can't be reasoned with, and they only come with military orders to requisition our ships. It's useless for me to come up with the identity of the temple. ”

Chen Daolin smiled faintly: "So to speak." We can't do anything but dock and get on the boat, and give them this boat?"

The head of the church looked embarrassed, and there was a faint annoyance in his eyes.

This is why the Temple of Light is now weak. Now, even two small officers dare to point fingers at the people of the temple. If it were a few decades ago, when the temple was huge, these officers would not say that they intercepted the temple's ships, and even if they encountered them along the way, they could only salute and watch them off on the sidelines. Where would anyone dare to be so tough on the head of a temple?

Just when the main person was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, the soldiers on the deck below seemed to be waiting impatiently. A man wearing the uniform of an officer of the Imperial Forest Army shouted: "Is it okay in the end? The case is urgent! Where is there so much verbosity! The military headquarters has ordered the requisition of ships, and you must not disobey them! Do you disembark by yourself, or do we ask you to disembark!"

In the last sentence, the threatening tone was already unabashedly used.

The head of the church turned pale with anger, and at this time, in the cabin below, several holy knights of the Holy Knights had already strode out, swords in their hands, and glared angrily at these soldiers.

But these royal guards and royal forest soldiers were not afraid at all, but they also pressed the hilt of the sword on their waists and glared back fiercely, and some of them sneered in a low voice: "What about the church ship?

Chen Daolin patted the person with an annoyed expression, walked past him, and slowly walked down the steps.

Although Chen Daolin is alone, he doesn't look very old. But after all, he is used to being a leader in the northwest, and he naturally has an aura that people dare not underestimate.

He walked down so slowly, and the soldiers who were still scolding and scolding in a low voice were impatient when they saw him, and they couldn't help but close their mouths.

Chen Daolin walked down the steps, stood there, and glanced at the two leading officers - looking at their epaulettes, their positions were not too high, and among them, the one of the Wangcheng Guards was a commander...... Vice.

"You're going to requisition my boat?" said Chen Daolin's tone calmly.

The deputy commander of the Wangcheng Guards glanced at Chen Daolin, seeing that Chen Daolin was extraordinary, he hesitated, and his tone was a little polite: "I was ordered to block the river, and the civilian ships along the way are ......all within the scope of military order collection" Speaking of this, he didn't seem to know what psychology it was, and politely added: "It's just a temporary requisition, and this ship will be returned to you later." ”

Chen Daolin nodded, didn't speak, and his eyes drifted to the officer of the Royal Forest Army next to him. Suddenly smiled: "Red Feather Ride?"

This officer of the Royal Forest Army stared at Chen Daolin carefully several times, and suddenly his face became a little strange: "Pavilion, Your Excellency ......"

"It seems you know me?" Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes.

“...... Something familiar. The Imperial Guards officer hesitated.

"Well, you used to be the Thunder God Whip?" Chen Daolin thought for a moment: "The Second Division of the Thunder God's Whip?"

The officer's eyes changed slightly: "Who are you?"

"I saw you on New Year's Eve. The first to storm the main hall...... Looks like you're the only one?"

This sentence made the face of the officer of the Imperial Forest Army change greatly, he took a step back, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and glared at Chen Daolin: "You...... Who the hell are you?"

Chen Daolin smiled slightly, took out a magician badge, and shook it in his hand.

The mage badge wasn't actually his own...... You know, so far, Brother Darling has not gone to the Magic Guild to assess the level of a magician.

This magician badge was something he had taken from his disciple to play with. Poor necromancer McQueen. Not only did he sell himself to Chen Daolin as a cook, but his magician badge was also cheated away by this teacher.

As soon as the officer saw the magician badge - the person who could become an officer of the Imperial Forest Army, and the person who could become the deputy commander of the Wangcheng Guard, naturally it would not be a turtle who had never seen the world, and immediately recognized this thing.

"Magician?"

Chen Daolin took back the badge with a smile: "I remember, the laws of the empire can't control the head of the magician, right? The magician has immunity from most of the laws of the empire. Especially...... As I recall, even an emperor could not just deprive a magician of his property. Has the Imperial Code been amended now?"

Chen Daolin looked at the two of them with a deliberate smile. Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two officers.

Seeing that the attitude of these two people had changed, Chen Daolin thought that this matter could be solved.

Unexpectedly, after exchanging glances, the two took a step back at the same time. Stand with your own men!

"I'm sorry! The officer of the Imperial Forest Army had a gloomy face: "This matter is urgent! This matter is very important! We must block this river! There is no other boat here at the moment, so this boat of yours ...... We're going to have to requisition tonight anyway! If we offend you...... You can accuse me and take revenge on me afterwards! But tonight, we're going to use this boat!"

Hey?

Chen Daolin was stunned.

Unexpectedly. These two officers are so kind?!

"You ...... Don't you be afraid at all?" Chen Daolin couldn't laugh or cry.

"I can't care if I offend you!" the Imperial Forest Officer took a deep breath and slowly pulled out his knife, the blade rubbing against the scabbard. He said hatefully, "If you don't...... We have no choice but to be rude! I know that magicians are not easy to mess with, but we have several teams of soldiers and horses here! If we do this, I think even if you are a magician, this thing will not end well!"

Chen Daolin couldn't help laughing!

"Unexpected...... The Imperial Guards actually have such a kind of person as you. Chen Daolin clapped his hands and spread out: "Okay! It seems that what you have encountered is quite strict...... With such a strict matter, I think Gu Le must have come out in person, right?

When the Royal Forest Army officer heard this, his face suddenly turned strange.

He looked at the deputy commander of the Wangcheng Guards beside him, hesitated for a moment, and frowned at Chen Daolin: "Your Excellency...... Know General Gule?"

"I know, and I'm very familiar. Chen Daolin said lightly.

"So...... Your Excellency doesn't seem to know yet. The officer of the Imperial Forest Army said coldly: "General Gu Le has been kidnapped by a gang of bandits in the imperial capital tonight! We gathered soldiers and horses here in the starry night, and the Wangcheng Guards and the Royal Forest Army have all been dispatched to intercept the bandits here and rescue General Gu Le!"

Chen Daolin was really shocked.

"What?Gu Le??That guy was actually kidnapped??Who is so kind?!" (To be continued......)
