About fifty people came, all dressed in armor and glistening in the sun. Three of the four flags in the procession were the twin spear flags of the tower, which symbolized the royal family of the Grey Keep, and one was the tall tower horse's head flag, which he thought about for a moment and recognized as the emblem of the Hoth family in the north.

One of the knights stepped out of the ranks and shouted, "I am Lehman Hoss, messenger of King Tifeko, and I have brought the royal capital to lower the drawbridge." ”

"Where's the credential?" Perro asked, poking his head out.

The opponent took off his bow and arrow from his back, tied a paper roll to the arrow, and shot it directly at the head of the city.

The guards around him immediately picked up arrows for him, and Perro unfolded the parchment, only to see that there was a staggered gold wire faintly embedded under the paper, and the lower right corner was stamped with the royal seal of Wimbledon, which was indeed the messenger of the new king.

"Drop the bridge, open the door. Perrot took a deep breath, he had already guessed the content of the so-called royal capital resolution - nine times out of ten it had something to do with Roland Wimbledon. Since the other party is not a fake, he has no reason to turn away the new king's envoy, otherwise it is equivalent to being an enemy of the king of the Gray Keep. Once this news spreads, the other people will definitely not hesitate to point the finger at the honeysuckle territory, and the undercurrent suppressed in the city will also rebound instantly.

However, Tifeko only sent a delegation of fifty envoys to inquire about the situation, which confirmed the fourth prince's assertion that the new king might not be able to rule the western lands now.

Since His Royal Highness the Prince can even repel the Duke's coalition of more than a thousand people, these fifty people may only return in vain.

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 from before, "Westeros, you take three bobtails, change all the way, and tell the Lord of Frontier as soon as possible." And he said, Tefeko's men came. ”

"Yes. Westeros nodded.

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

......

As he stood at the gate of the city, he noticed that except for the dozen or so people who were at the front of the procession, who seemed to be in good spirits, the rest of the knights looked a little sluggish, sitting on their horses and lying on their bodies, as if they were about to fall down at any moment.

"Hello, Sir Lehman," Perro nodded in greeting, "I am the keeper of the fortress, Pyro Hermon of the Honeysuckle family. ”

The word fortress manager made him feel a little astringent. If you are really the ruler of the Western Frontier and the Duke of the fortress, you don't have to salute the envoy, or even greet the other party at the door, you just need to stay in the lord's castle and wait for the other party to ask to see you.

"I've heard your name in Coldwind Ridge, Lord Acting Duke," Lehman turned over and dismounted, walked up to him and smiled, "It's a strange place in your western realm, Duke Ryan didn't take a small town with a large army, but instead lost his life, which is rare in Grey Keep. Of course, this may be good news for honeysuckle. ”

Perro automatically ignored the sarcasm in his words, "Are your men okay?" they look a little ...... Uncomfortable. ”

"Leave them alone," Lehman glanced back, "probably because of the travel and the water and soil, just rest for a while." Honestly, it's too hot in this place too. ”

"It's too cold in the north," since the other party didn't care, Pei Luo didn't bother to pay attention to this matter anymore, "I'm curious why His Majesty's envoy set out from the Cold Wind Ridge instead of from the royal capital?"

"Because His Majesty Tifeko is in the north at this time," he said bluntly, "Duke Ace took advantage of the lack of strength of the border guards to create a rebellion in the north, and the king had to send troops to quell the rebellion. ”

Rebellion?Perro frowned, this is not logical, although the border guard has knights and mercenaries from all over the Grey Castle, most of the members are still under the Duke himself, how can there be a reason for his own subordinates to start a rebellion when they have suffered heavy losses? Thinking of Duke Lane's letter that he planned to take this opportunity to annex the Northlands, a bad premonition rose in his heart...... Could it be that Tifeco Wimbledon had the same idea?

"So what is the resolution of the royal capital?"

"Recall," Lehman said, "Your Majesty has sent me here precisely not to see the Westside plunged into war. If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty sent a recall order to Roland Wimbledon back in the Demon Moon, but he still hasn't returned to the capital. ”

"The document should have been delivered to the fortress five months ago, but His Highness Roland didn't return to the fortress before the Evil Moon as the lords did in previous years," Perro paused, "he was leading his people in the border town to defend against the invasion of evil beasts, and he couldn't leave for the royal capital immediately. ”

"It's been almost three months since the end of the Demon Moon," Lehman said undeniably, "the king has sent me to escort him back to the royal capital. ”

"When are you going to go to Frontier Town?"

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

If you are in a normal hurry, it will take three days to reach the town, and if the knights you send are traveling day and night, you can deliver the news in one day and one night, so that His Royal Highness Roland should also be ready to deal with it, Pei Luo thought, there is only so much he can do.

Bringing the envoy group to the fortress camp, he stopped and said, "This was originally the garrison of the Duke's Knights, you can rest here for a good night, and dinner will be delivered by someone." As for Mr. Messenger," he looked at Lehman Hoss, "the castle will have a sumptuous dinner for you, so be sure to attend." ”

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

After the dinner, Lehman returned to the camp and entered the central tent, where several of his men immediately surrounded him.

"How's it going?" he asked.

"There are people on all sides, and there is a force of nearly 100 men stationed at the exit, but most of them are not fully armoured, so they should be city patrols," one person reported. "It seems that the lord is not worried about us. ”

"At least the information is correct, and what I heard from the feast confirms it. Lehman said in a deep voice. "After the Duke's defeat, most of the knights were captured and sent to the border towns, and there were not many elites in the fortress that could be used in battle. ”

Before arriving here, he had already learned about the situation of the Changge Fortress in detail. The task given to him by His Majesty Tifeco is also very simple, that is, to find out the cause of the Duke's defeat, and then take corresponding measures to seize control of the western frontier as soon as possible.

"Those who take the medicine...... What's the status?"

"It's almost the limit," said another, "and now they can do anything as long as they give them pills." ”

The emissary regiment was nothing more than a façade, a team of fifty people, of only thirteen real knights, and the rest were mercenaries disguised as knights, and under the influence of the church pills, they were now more obedient than hounds, and more ferocious than evil beasts. This was the key to Lehman's capture of the city gates. According to the plan, another militia of 1,500 people was slowly approaching the fortress, and as soon as the gates were opened, the city would fall into their hands.

"Distribute the pills and let the ten stay to deal with the patrol, while the others head in the direction of the east gate. He ordered. (To be continued.) )
