About fifty people came, all dressed in armor, shining in the sun.The four flags in the procession, three are the symbol of the gray castle royal high tower double gun flag, there is a high tama head flag, he thought in his mind, recognized this should be the symbol of the northern Hoss family.

One of the knights came out and shouted, "I am Lehman Hoth, the messenger of King Tiffico, and I have brought the decision of the king's capital, please put down the drawbridge."

“What about the certificate?”Perot leaned out and asked loudly.

The other side took off the bow and arrows from behind, tied a piece of paper to the arrow, and shot directly into the city.

The guards around him immediately picked up arrows for him, Pero opened the parchment, saw the staggered gold silk hidden under the script, and the royal seal of Wimbledon in the lower right corner was indeed the messenger of the new king.

“Bridge, open the door.”Pero took a deep breath, and he had probably guessed that the contents of the so-called Wangdu resolution were nine-ten and nine related to Roland Wimbledon.Since the other party is not fake, there is no reason to exclude the new king's messenger, otherwise it is equivalent to being an enemy to the gray castle king.Once this news spreads, several others will certainly not hesitate to point the finger at the honeysuckle territory, and the undercurrents suppressed in the city will rebound in an instant.

However, Tfeico sent a delegation of 50 emissaries to inquire about the situation, which also confirmed the claim that the new king may not have time to govern the western land.

Since His Royal Highness could repel the Dukes of more than a thousand, these fifty men would have to return without success.

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

Thinking of this, he called the knight before, "Westello, you take three short-tailed horses, change all the way, and tell the border lord as soon as possible."Then came the men of Tifeko."

“Follow the orders.”Westero nodded.

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

...

Standing in the gate, he found that in addition to the ten or so people who were walking in the front of the team, the rest of the knights looked somewhat flagging, sitting at once, as if they were going to fall down at any time.

"Hello, Sir Lehman," said Perot, "I am the fortresskeeper, Pero Hermon of the Honeysuckle family."

The word fort manager made him feel a little treacherous.If you are really the prince of the west, the fortress, you do not have to salute the messenger, or even meet each other at the door, just stay in the lord's castle and wait for the other party to see.

"I heard your name in the cold wind, Lord of the Duke," said Lehman, turning over and coming up to him and laughing, "it is a strange place for you in the west, where the great army of Prince Lane has not been able to fight a town, but has lost his life, which is rare in the gray castle.Of course, this may be good news for honeysuckle.”

Pero automatically ignored the irony of his words, “Is your men all right?”They look a little... hard."

"Don't worry about them," Lehman looked back, "probably all the way to the water and the soil, just rest for a while."To be honest, it's too hot."

"It is too cold in the north," said Perot, who did not care, and since the other party did not care, "I am curious why His Majesty's messengers set out from the cold wind and not from the royal capital?"

“Because His Majesty Tiffaco is in the north at this time,” he said bluntly, “the Duke of Ace, took advantage of the emptiness of the Border Guard to riot in the north, suspected of rebellion, and the king had to fight back.”

The Rebellion?Pero frowned, which is not common sense, although the border guards have knights and mercenaries from all over the castle, but most of the members are still the duke's own men, where is the reason for the rebellion in the case of heavy losses of their own subordinates?Thinking of the letter that the Duke of Lane intended to take this opportunity to annex the North, a bad presentiment arose in his mind... Did Fico Wimbledon have the same idea?

“What is the king’s decision?”

"Recall order," said Lehman, "the purpose of your majesty's sending me here is precisely not wanting to see the West and being in the midst of war."If I remember correctly, His Majesty the King sent a recall order to Roland Wimbledon as early as the month of the Devil, but he still did not return to the royal capital."

“The time it was supposed to be sent to the fortress five months ago, but His Highness Roland did not return to the fortress to take refuge before the evil moon comes before the evil moon, as in previous years,” Peroton said, “while he was leading his people against the evil beasts in the border town, and could not immediately return to the royal capital.”

"It is almost three months since the month of the devil has ended," Lehman could not say, "and the king sent me to escort him back to the capital."

“When are you going to go to the border town?”

“Let’s go tomorrow morning.”

If the normal way to get to the town takes three days, if the knight sent by himself will be able to send the news day and night, so that His Royal Highness Roland should also be able to prepare for it, Perot thought, he can only do so much.

With a group of messengers to the fortress camp, he stopped and said, "This is the seat of the Duke's Knights, you have a good night's rest here, dinner will be delivered."As for Mr. Messenger," he said to Lehman Hoth, "the castle will have a rich dinner for you, please attend."

"Thank you for your generosity, Sir Peero."The latter laughs.

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

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

“How is the situation?”He asked.

“There were people watching all around, and there was a force of nearly 100 people at the exit, but most of them were not fully equipped and should be city patrols,” one reported."It seems that the Lord does not mind us."

“At least the information is correct, as confirmed by what I heard at the banquet.”Lehman whispered."After the defeat of the duke, most of the knights were taken to the border town, and there were not many elites in the fortresses that could be used for fighting."

Before he arrived here, he had already learned more about the long song fortress.The task given to him by His Majesty Tiffico was also very simple, that is, to find out the reasons for the Duke's failure, and then to take corresponding measures to seize control of the West as soon as possible.

“What about the drug users?”

"It's almost the limit," said the other, "and now give them pills and they'll do anything."

The messengers were but a guise, a team of fifty men, only thirteen true knights, the rest were mercenaries posing as knights, and under the influence of the church pills, they were now more obedient than hounds, more murderous than evil beasts.This is the key to Lehman's capture of the city gate.According to the plan, another 1,500 militiamen was slowly approaching the fortress, and as soon as the city was opened, the city would fall into its own hands.

“The pill was distributed and ten people were left to deal with the patrol, while the others headed east in the direction of the east gate.”He ordered.(Unfinished.
