Chapter 192 Under the Night

There were about fifty people who came, all dressed in armor, shining in the sun. Of the four flags in the eight teams, three were the High Tower Flag with Two Spears, which symbolized the royal family of Graycastle, and the other was the High Tower Horsehead Flag. After thinking about it for a while, he recognized that it should belong to the Howth family in the north. sign.

One of the knights walked out and shouted: "I am Lehman Hoss, the envoy of King Timothy. I have brought the decision of the king's capital. Please lower the drawbridge."

"Where's the certificate?" Pei Luo poked his head out and asked loudly.

The opponent took off the bow and arrow from behind, tied a scroll of paper to the arrow, and shot it directly at the top of the city.

The guards around him immediately picked up the arrows for him. Pei Luo unfolded the parchment, and saw that there were intertwined gold threads faintly embedded under the document, and the seal of the Wimbledon royal family was stamped on the lower right corner, which was indeed the emissary of the new king.

"Fall off the bridge, open the door." Pedro took a deep breath, he had probably guessed the content of the so-called king's decision - most likely it was related to Roland Wimbledon. Since the other party is not a fake, I have no reason to reject the new king's envoy, otherwise it is tantamount to being an enemy of the King of Graycastle. Once this news gets out, the other members will definitely point their fingers at Honeysuckle's territory without hesitation, and the suppressed undercurrent in the city will instantly rebound.

However, Timothy only sent a delegation of fifty envoys to inquire about the situation, which also confirmed the statement of the fourth prince—the new king may not have the time to govern the western region right now.

Since His Royal Highness was able to repel the duke's coalition forces of more than a thousand people, these fifty people may have to return without success.

Of course, His Royal Highness Roland still needs to be notified of this news as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he called the previous knight, "Westeros, take three short-tailed horses and transfer along the way, and tell the Lord of Border Town the news as soon as possible. Just say, Timothy's men are here." .”

"Yes." Westeros nodded.

Seeing the knight turn and leave, Pelor sighed, "Let's go down to meet the new king's envoy."

...

When he stood at the gate of the city, he realized that, except for the ten or so people walking in front of the team who seemed to be full of energy, the rest of the knights looked a little sluggish, sitting on their horses and hunched over, as if they were about to fall down at any time.

"Hello, Sir Lehman," Pei Luo nodded, "I am the manager of the fortress, Pei Luo Hermon of the Honeysuckle family."

The word fortress manager made him feel a little bit awkward. If he was really the ruler of the western region and the Duke of the fortress, he would not have to salute the envoy, or even greet him at the door. He could just stay in the lord's castle and wait for the messenger to ask for an audience.

"I've heard your name before in Cold Wind Ridge, "Your Excellency the Duke,"" Lehman turned off his horse, walked up to him and smiled, "Your western region is really a strange place. Taking down a small town only cost his own life, which is rare in Graycastle. Of course, this may be good news for honeysuckle. "

Pei Luo automatically ignored the sarcasm in his words, "How are your subordinates? They look a little... uncomfortable."

"Don't worry about them," Lehman glanced back. "It's probably because of the long journey and acclimatization, just rest for a while. To be honest, this place is too hot."

"It's too cold in the north." Since the other party didn't care, Pei Luo didn't bother to bother about it. "I'm curious why His Majesty's envoy came from Cold Wind Ridge instead of from the capital?"

"Because His Majesty Timothy is in the northern border at this time," he said bluntly, "Duke Ace created riots in the north when the border guards were empty. He was suspected of rebellion, and the king had to put down the rebellion."

Rebellion? Pei Luo frowned. This was unreasonable. Although the border guards had knights and mercenaries from all over Graycastle, most of them were still subordinates of the Duke himself. How could there be any reason to start a rebellion when his subordinates suffered heavy losses? Thinking of the letter that the Duke of Lane planned to take this opportunity to annex the Northland, he felt a bad premonition... Could it be that Timothy Wimbledon had the same idea?

"Then what is the king's decision?"

"Recall order," Lehman said, "The purpose of His Majesty sending me here is precisely because he doesn't want to see the Western Territory also fall into war. If I remember correctly, as early as the month of demons, His Majesty the King asked Roland Wen Buton sent a recall order, but he still hasn't returned to the capital."

"The document should have been sent to the fortress five months ago, but His Highness Roland did not return to the fortress to take refuge before the fall of the evil moon like those lords in previous years." Perot paused, "At that time, he was leading the border town. His people resisted the invasion of evil beasts, so they couldn't set off immediately to return to the capital."

"It's almost three months since the end of the month of demons," Lehman said irrefutably, "The king sent me to escort him back to the capital."

"When are you planning to go to Border Town?"

"Leave early tomorrow morning."

If you travel normally, it will take three days to reach the small town. If the knights you send travel day and night, you can deliver the news in one day and one night. In this way, His Royal Highness Roland should be ready to deal with it. Petrov thought, what he can do Yes, there are only so many.

Bringing the envoys to the fortress camp, he stopped in his tracks and said, "This was originally the base of the Duke's Knights. You should rest here for a good night, and someone will deliver the dinner. As for Mr. Envoy," He looked at Lehman Hoss, "The castle will hold a sumptuous dinner for you, please be sure to attend."

"Thank you for your generosity, Sir Pedro." The latter laughed.

*******************

After the dinner, Lehman returned to the camp, walked into the central tent, and several subordinates immediately surrounded him.

"How's the situation?" he asked.

"People are watching all around, and there is a troop of nearly 100 people stationed at the exit, but most of them don't have complete armor. They should be city patrols," Yirenhui reported. "It seems that the lord is not worried about us."

"At least the information is correct, and the information I inquired from the banquet also confirmed this point." Lehman said solemnly. "After the Duke's defeat, most of the knights were captured and taken to Border Town. There are not many elites in the fortress that can be used for combat."

Before arriving here, he had already learned about the situation of Longsong Fortress in detail. His Majesty Timothy gave him a very simple task, that is to find out the reasons for the Duke's failure, and then take corresponding measures to seize control of the Western Territory as soon as possible.

"Those who took the medicine...how are they?"

"It's almost at the limit," said another. "Now they'll do anything if you give them the pill."

The messenger group is just a cover, a team of fifty people, only thirteen real knights, and the rest are mercenaries pretending to be knights. Under the influence of the church pills, they are now more obedient than hounds, and stronger than evil spirits. The beast is even more ferocious. This is the key to Lehman's capture of the city gate. According to the plan, another militia team of 1,500 people is slowly approaching the fortress. As long as the city gate is opened, the city will fall into their own hands.

"Divide the pills, let ten people stay to deal with the patrol team, and the others go towards the east gate." He ordered. (To be continued.)
