Law of the Devil Chapter 28: [Political influence]
Chapter 28 [Political Influence]
In the evening of that day, the soldiers and civilians in Half the Corner were working hard to repair the city walls. At this moment, a distant road outside the city, a distant dust rises!
Amidst the dusty sky, a team of cavalry rushed towards Half-Cape Town.
These cavalry all wore the armor of the Imperial Guard, and when they reached the city, they drove straight in.
"I want to see your highest officer!" The captain of the cavalry is an imperial fifth-level knight, riding on his face with a calm face and drinking.
Soon, the Span Cavalier with a bandage on his side was kicked out.
The cavalry captain took a quick look at Span on the horse, and he owed slightly: "Dear Knight, I am the deputy head of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Governor of Lille, Goron. Governor Bong My destiny, from now on, half a corner of the city will be temporarily designated as a military management area with half a corner as the center! I will take over the highest command here.
Speaking, this knight named Golomb threw a file: "This is a document signed by the Governor!"
Span is somewhat surprised: "Governor ... is the Governor also nearby?"
"No, the Governor is in the capital." Knight Gordon's face was hard to look at, and he looked at the wounded Knight of Span. He sighed: "Honest Knight, I need to remind you that you are in trouble Now! The eldest son of Earl Raymond, the vice president of the Empire Command, was attacked and disappeared in your jurisdiction. The Governor was shocked when he heard about it. I think you need to be prepared for your serious misconduct. This An emergency appointment document was sent directly by the Governor through the Magic Union's Teleportation Magic Array to the various troops in the spring exercise. According to the Governor's appointment, the 30,000 local defense forces in the province of Lille will stop this time. In the spring exercise, I immediately searched the whereabouts of the little master of the Rowling family with Half-City as the center! And this time, you reported an incident where the magician blatantly attacked the local barracks. I think you also have to do it Be prepared. It is very likely that the Governor will let you rush to the capital in person, and he wants you to testify at the trial *. You should know that your report may well cause the relationship between the Imperial Army and the magic union. Nervous! "
Span ’s knight is as dead as a face. He knows that his future in the army is probably over. The guarding barracks in his own place was attacked by a magician, and the young master of the Rowling family was lost.
Despite this kind of thing, the responsibility is hard to say to yourself, after all, in the face of that powerful magician, a little fourth-level knight is powerless.
However, with such a big deal, someone always has to come back and take responsibility, isn't it?
Knight Span salutes, straightens his waist, he still has an injury on his body, and after standing upright, his pain and cold sweat have come down, but he still said with audacity: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency , I will obey every command of the Governor. Now I will give you all the commands here, and ... the Governor ordered me to go to the capital, when will I start? "
"Now." Knight Gordon looked at Spoon, his eyes flashed helplessly, and exclaimed: "The second warrant of Lord Governor! The Cavalry Deputy Captain of the Cavalry of the Half-Cape Local Cavalry, Spoon Knight, due to serious misconduct. , Temporarily deprived of the position of deputy captain, all officers of the Half-Cape City Local Defence Force will be demoted to the semi-level! I look forward to everyone's diligence and use your credit to clean up your dereliction of duty! Spane Knight, you must go on the road immediately, the Governor hopes you will sunset tomorrow Arrived before the capital! "
Looking at the injury of the Knight of Span, this Gordon Knight suddenly moved in his heart and whispered: "Knight Span, I know that the responsibility for this matter is not with you. Seeing the injury on your body, I think privately You did your best. I will report everything I see. I also think that you are not negligent, but that things are far beyond your ability to control. "
"... Thank you." Knight Spoon sighed and shook his head: "I do have some misconduct ... Okay, sir, the Robert Knight of Rowling's family is in the garrison outside the city, I miss you It is necessary to meet him. Besides ... nothing more.
Looking at the injured Knight of Span, the soldiers took off his helmet and the badge of the Imperial officer on his body, and the Knight of Cologne could not help but sigh.
Span ... Span ... Do you know what the consequences of your report are? !!
On the surface, it seems that the young master of the Luo Lin family was hijacked by a female magician ... but in fact, even if the young master of the Luo Lin family has a distinguished status, how can he keep 30,000 places on guard? Does the army stop spring exercises to look for him?
The root of this matter lies in the contradiction between the military and the magic union! !!
Even though magicians are recognized as transcendental groups that can override the law, this time, a magician dare to attack the Empire's local defense forces openly! The nature of this behavior seems extremely bad to the Imperial Army!
This is a provocation by the blatant Imperial Army! It is also a provocation to the rule of the Empire! !! Furthermore, it can even be regarded as a kind of treason, a kind of treason! !!
For this matter, now the capital of Lille, the staff of the Governor's subordinates have been so noisy! It is foreseeable how much repercussions will be caused after this report is reported to the military commander?
The empire leaders have always been dissatisfied with the behavior of the magic union over the laws of the empire, and they always think that the empire has given too much privilege to the magician. And this incident will cause tension between the Imperial Army and the magic union ... even, it is said that His Majesty the Emperor has also criticized the magic union in recent years, because the magic union did not send enough in the last southern navy expedition. The magician supports the army.
Her Majesty's intentions to reduce the empire's preferential treatment of magical unions each year. Even when the attack was reported to the capital of Lille Province, the news was disclosed, which caused great indignation among officers in the army! !!
Even before the Knights of Goloon set off, there were already thousands of joint signatures of the officers of the Imperial Defence Forces asking the Governor to order the magic union to punish the attackers severely!
But ... trial a wizard, and still a senior wizard?
This is unprecedented in empire history! !!
Sponsored the Spoon rider who drove to the capital of Lille by horse-drawn carriage—Although he was all injured, it was not suitable for such a hasty ride on the carriage, but the Governor's strict order was suppressed, and he could only Reluctantly supported.
The Knights of Goloon immediately took over the city defense with their own men, and then dispatched people to quickly step up the repair of the city walls that collapsed in the earthquake last night, and then he came to a military camp outside the city. I met Robert Knight who was returning to change horses.
Robert is also injured, but the Cavaliers are still working hard to support it. He has been running around for a day. His body is exhausted, but his spirit is still tough. But the horses could not bear it anymore, so they had to return to the barracks to change horses.
The Knights of Gron immediately met with the Knights of Robert. The two sides talked for a while and learned that the local defense forces had assembled to go here for a large-scale search. Robert was slightly relieved.
"In addition ... I think the private forces of the Rollin family should also start to gather. By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the Rollin ’s light cavalry team should be able to enter Lille. This time the impact of this incident is very great ... ... I'm afraid ... "
Robert is indeed a family member of the Rollings. Of course, the people in this kind of giants, of course, know something, and immediately said, "Is it ... the influence of the magician's attack on the barracks?"
"Yes." Knight of Goloon slowly said, "I brought a thousand cavalry, and the large troops behind are still assembled. Now I have command of three hundred miles here. But to be honest, I know There is not much confidence. But the Lord Governor issued a strict order and must find Master Du Wei. Because ... "
Kololon looked around and whispered, "Because, in this matter, the Governor personally wrote to me in a secret letter: Although the impact was rapid, presumably the big brothers above didn't dare to stop there. Turning your face with the magic union, at most, it is only a chance to suppress it, there will not be much action. Even the emperor, I am afraid to rashly offend the magic union. However, the appearance is still to be installed, and some official letters will be issued to condemn Just a moment. Then, most of the things will be small and small things will disappear. Although the military was attacked, no one died. At least there is room for easing. But ... the little nobleman is The point! If ... say something awkward, if there is something unexpected about Master Du Wei ... I'm afraid it will be difficult! Robert Knight, in my case, do you understand? "
Robert thought for a moment and nodded.
If ... if something happens to Master Du Wei, even ...
So, as the Rollin family, the earl's eldest son is dead, naturally he can't give up! Even if I heard that the Earl did not like this son, but the young master of the Rollin family died, even if the Earl did not like this son, but for the sake of the Rollin family, he would definitely pursue it to the end! Otherwise, hundreds of years of glorious Wuxun family! How can the great Rowling family be so aggressive and bullied? !! If even the killing of his own son can be tolerated, then the majesty of the Rollin family may be shaky to outsiders!
Standing as the patriarch of the clan, the Earl will surely pursue it to the end!
And if Lord Earl does not let loose ... Is the status and connections of the Rollin family in the Imperial Army. The Rollin family can lead a considerable number of imperial forces! !!
At that time, if the confrontation between the Imperial Army and the Magic Union is caused, things will be in trouble!
So, whether you can get back Master Du Wei is the key to whether this matter can be calmed down!
"What's the response from the magic union?" Robert asked.
"Magic union? Huh!" The Knight's tone was also disdainful. It can be seen that after this incident, the Knight was also very dissatisfied with the Magic Union: "What else can those families say? The magic union of Lille's provincial capital responded: they will deal with this internally. Hear no! Internally! Blatant attack on the imperial army! This is a flagrant rebellion and treason! They just finished the simple 'internal treatment' The magic union has always guarded the magician, and their so-called internal processing is often left behind. They are arrogant and think that the empire cannot lack the help of the magician! Huh! "
Robert pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Master Knight, I don't think it would be enough to just search within three hundred miles of the surrounding area. Because the female magician who attacked the barracks was so powerful, it was far away. Beyond our imagination, I think she is already out of the 300-mile range, so I suggest ... "
"I know." Knight Gordon nodded: "Although the governor's order was written three hundred miles, the adult knight also told me in a secret letter that the range could be appropriately expanded, and the Lille line was calculated. The province is okay. He has contacted the local officials in the surrounding area. Even, you know, the three hundred miles is the sea. The Governor has even asked for the support of the Imperial Navy. I think the Rowling family is deeply entrenched in the Navy. , This time we have the support of the Navy is definitely no problem. "
Robert smiled bitterly: "I just don't know how Master Du Wei is doing now ..."
•;
How is Dewey now?
He's not good! very bad!
Dewey's shoes are broken. The kind of lambskin boots on the feet were not suitable for walking in the woods, and the trousers were damaged by some thorns.
He held a wooden stick hard, and the end of the stick was sharpened, so that it could be used not only as a crutch, but also as a weapon.
Now that the powerful magician around him has no magic, he is only a half-old boy. They should always be careful if there are any beasts in this forest.
Although it is safest to stay with the dragon, the two always need to look around ... at least find something to eat! And fresh water! !!
After a round on the island, Dewey can basically determine most of the island's terrain ... it's woods!
Mouth is almost hot, but to Dewe's anxiety, they didn't find a drop of fresh water! There don't seem to be any springs or small freshwater lakes.
No way, this island is not large. The overall terrain appears to be a slightly flat circle, from the east to the four heads. It only takes about half a day to arrive. According to Du Wei's estimation, the diameter of this island is about five miles.
A small island. If there is no fresh water on such an island ...
Du Wei shook his head, only to sigh.
The problem now is that the dragon can no longer be counted on, don't try to leave the dragon riding here. And this little silly girl also lost her magic, and her flying skills can only last for more than ten seconds and it will be planted ... and the surrounding sea is a vast sea!
They can't leave this island anymore!
If you ca n’t find anything to eat or drink, then I'm afraid they will die here for at least two days.
Vivian followed behind Du Wei with a pitiful look. The magician was terrified. She landed on this strange desert island, and the magic she had been relying on had been lost. Now, my heart is extremely bewildered and uneasy.
At this moment, as if the little aristocrat who had always bullied himself before him, following him, can Vivian feel a strange sense of security.
So, when Dewey asked to look around the terrain, Vivian insisted on following Dewey ... Although it was safest to stay with the dragon.
Even if there are any terrible beasts on the island ... but there are no beasts in this world who dare to approach the dragon!
Losing magic and walking for a long time, Vivian's feet hurt. She suspected that her feet might even be worn out. He just frowned and followed.
Although Du Wei was a little irritable, he still looked at the frowning girl behind him. For such a frail girl, it must be a bit too much for me.
"Take a break." Du Wei sighed, and beat around with a wooden stick, made sure there were no snakes or anything in the grass, and helped Vivian sit down.
Vivian's feet hurt so much that she almost shed tears. She never thought about it in her entire life. It turned out to be so good to sit down!
Du Wei thought about it, took off his coat, quickly torn into several steps, and handed it to Vivian: "Here! The soles of your leather boots are very hard. It hurts. Then wrap these cloths on your feet, it will feel softer. "
"Thank you ... thank you." After thinking about it, Vivian had a look on her face: "I, we can, can there be a way to leave here?"
"Leave ..." Du Wei smiled bitterly, and he couldn't bear to hit the little girl again: "We have to find food and water first, and other things, and then plan slowly."
Du Wei groaned, and said in full color: "It's been a day and I can confirm the situation now: First, according to the wind direction, I can confirm that this is the spring monsoon at sea. According to these, I can confirm that we are An island on the East Sea of the Empire. Then, based on the vegetation here, we should still be in the southern part of the Empire, and maybe even on the sea east of the province of Lille. And ... "
At this point, Du Wei's face is a little weird: "I'm worried about a problem."
"Why ... what?"
"You find no, we have walked for so long, we have walked half the island ... but we haven't found an animal! Don't say a big beast, even a snake, or There is no mouse !!! This is like a lifeless island! There is not even an animal here, and you listen ... "
Du Wei raised his hand and placed a listening gesture next to his ear. His tone was weird: "You haven't found an island of this size ... such a dense forest ... but, But there isn't even the sound of birds calling! There are more than ground animals here ... not even birds! This is weird! "
