Release that Witch Chapter 192: Under the night
About 50 people are coming, all wearing armor and shining in the sun. Among the four flags in the team, three were the high tower double gun flags that symbolized the Greycastle royal family, and one was the high tower horse head flag. He thought about it for a while and recognized that it should be the logo of the northern region Hawse Family family.
A member of the Knight team stepped out and shouted: "I am Lehman Hawes, Timothy King's envoy, I brought the resolution of Kingdom Capital, please drop the suspension bridge."
"What about the credentials?" Petrov poked his head and asked loudly.
The opponent takes off the bow and arrow from behind, binds an paper roll to the arrow, and shoots directly to the city head.
The guards around him immediately picked up arrows for him, and Petrov unfolded the parchment paper. I saw that there was a staggered gold wire embedded under document/secretary, and the lower right corner was covered with the Wimbledon royal seal. It was indeed envoy of new King.
"Fall the bridge, open the door." Petrov took a deep breath, he probably guessed that the content of the so-called Kingdom Capital resolution is probably related to Roland Wimbledon. Since the other party is not impersonating, there is no reason for him to shut out new King envoy, otherwise it is equivalent to being an enemy of Greycastle Kingdom Capital. Once this news spreads, other people will certainly point the finger at the Honeysuckle territory without hesitation, and the undercurrent suppressed in the city will rebound instantly.
However, Timothy only sent a fifty-person envoy group to inquire about situation, which also confirmed the claim of Fourth Prince. new King may not have time to rule Western Region.
Since His Highness the Prince can repel more than a thousand Duke coalition forces, I am afraid these fifty people will only be able to return without success.
Of course, this news still needs to inform His Highness Roland as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he called the Knight before him, "Westeros, you bring three short-tailed horses, transfer all the way, and tell Border Town feudal lord as soon as possible. Just say, Timothy is horse."
"As you bid." Westeros nodded.
When Knight turned and left, Petrov sighed, "Let's go down to meet new King envoy."
...
When he stood at the mouth of city gate, he found out that, except for the dozen or so people who walked in the front of the team, the other Knight looked a bit sluggish.
"Hello, Sir Lehman," Petrov nodded and complimented, "I'm the stronghold manager, Honeysuckle Family's Petrov Hull."
The word stronghold manager makes him feel a little bit jerky. If you are really in charge of Western Region and stronghold Duke, you don't have to salute envoy or even meet each other at the door, you just need to stay at feudal lord castle and wait for the other party to see you.
"I have heard your name in Cold Wind Ridge, acting for Duke," Lehman rolled over and smiled in front of him. "You Western Region is really a strange place. The Duke Ryan assembly army failed to win an small town. , But lost his life, which is rare in Greycastle. Of course, this may be good news for Honeysuckle. "
Petrov automatically ignored the irony in his words, "Are your men okay? They look a little ... uncomfortable."
"Don't worry about them," Lehman glanced back. "It's probably running all the way and being unconvinced. Just rest for a while. Honestly, this place is too hot."
"It's too cold for north." Since the other party didn't care, Petrov didn't bother to bother about it. "I wonder why the Your Majesty's envoy came from Cold Wind Ridge set off instead of Kingdom Capital?"
"Because Timothy Your Majesty is now at northern region," he bluntly stated, "Esse Duke created a riot in north while the Border Guard was vacant, and suspected of rebellion. King had to send troops to counter-insurgency."
Rebellion? Petrov frowned. This is not in line with common sense. Although the Border Guard has Knight and mercenaries from around Greycastle, most of its members are still under the control of Duke himself. How can he launch a rebellion under his situation with heavy losses? Remembering that Duke Ryan was going to take this opportunity to annex the letter of Northern Lands, he had a bad hunch in his heart ... Could the Timothy Wimbledon have the same idea?
"What is the resolution of Kingdom Capital?"
"Recall order," Lehman said, "The purpose of Your Majesty sending me here is not to see Western Region in trouble. If I remember correctly, His Majesty The King sent it to Roland Wimbledon as early as Months of Demons. Recall order, but he still has not returned Kingdom Capital. "
"The time for the document/secretary to be sent to stronghold should be five months ago, but His Highness Roland did not return to stronghold asylum before the advent of Months of Demons like the feudal lord of previous years," Petrov paused, "At that time he was leading his people in Border Town Defend against Evil Beast's attacks and cannot immediately return to Kingdom Capital. "
"It is almost three months now that Months of Demons is over," Lehman said indiscriminately, "King sent me to **** him back to Kingdom Capital."
"When are you going to Border Town?"
"set off tomorrow morning."
If you are on the road normally, it will take three days to arrive at small town. If you send Knight by day and night, you can send the message one day and one night, so that Your Highness Roland should be able to prepare for it. Petrov thinks that it can Only so much has been done.
Bring the envoy group to stronghold camp, he stopped the footpath. "This is the place where the Duke Knight group was originally stationed. You can take a good rest here. Dinner will be delivered by someone. As for Mr. envoy, "He looked at Lehman Hawes," The castle will host a sumptuous dinner for you, please be sure to attend. "
"Thank you for your generosity, Sir Petrov." The latter laughed.
*******************
After the dinner, Lehman returned to camp, walked into the central tent, and several men immediately surrounded him.
"How about situation?" he asked.
"People are under surveillance all around, and there is a force of nearly a hundred people stationed at the exit, but most of them do not have complete armor, and they should be urban patrols," Yirenhui reported. "It seems that feudal lord is not assured of us."
"At least the information is correct, and what I heard from the banquet confirmed it." Lehman whispered. "After the defeat of Duke, most of the Knight went to Border Town in caught. There are not many elites in stronghold that can be used for combat."
Before arriving here, he had learned about situation of Longsong Stronghold in detail. The task given to him by Timothy Your Majesty is also very simple, that is to find out the cause of Duke failure, and then take corresponding measures to seize control of Western Region as soon as possible.
"What is the status of those who take the medicine ..."
"It's almost at its limit," the other said. "Now they just give them pills and they're willing to do anything."
The envoy group is just a guise. A team of 50 people has only 13 real Knights. The others are mercenary pretending to be Knight. Under the influence of Church pills, they are even more obedient than hounds. More ferocious than Evil Beast. This is the key to Lehman's capture of city gate. According to the plan, another 1,500-person militia team is slowly approaching stronghold. As long as city gate is turned on, the city will fall into its own hands.
"Distribute the pills, leave ten people to stay with the patrol, and the others heading towards the east gate," he ordered. (To be continued.)
