"Lord Marquis!"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look and saw a soldier running from a distance in a hurry.Owen had a little impression of this person, it seemed that it was his turn to guard the castle gate this morning, could it be that something happened on the castle side?
Running in front of Owen, the guard reported, "Lord Marquis, three Templars have arrived at the Frontier Town, saying that they have asked to see you. ”"What!"
Mapel, who worshiped the Templars, reacted extremely quickly and stepped forward and asked, "Are you serious?"
Are you sure the other party is not a faker?
”"There's no mistake, those three are indeed wearing Templar armor."
The guard's tone was very affirmative, "Under the arrangement of Chief Ryne, they were ushered into the reception room to wait for the Marquis. ”"It's coming so slowly, they must have come by land.After all, now that the road is closed by heavy snow, it is not easy to hurry. ”Viscount Jarvis guessed.Then he said to Owen, "Marquis Eisen, I won't accompany you there, there are still some affairs to be taken care of on the north side of the wall." ”Ever since he had his own musket, Viscount Jarvis didn't seem to have much interest in the Templars, and Frontier no longer needed to rely on their power to deal with the undead."
Well, then you go get busy."
Owen nodded in agreement.Turning to the guards, he said, "Let's go, let's go back and meet the three late Templars." ”The Templars stationed at the Dongsheng Fortress must have been unable to see the undead monster for a long time, and realized that something was abnormal, so they decided to send someone over to check on the situation.They have all been deceived by Duke Eddie, and now is the time to expose the lie.All the wishful thinking has come to naught, I wonder if Duke Eddie is losing his temper in his castle at the moment?
…… Led by Ryan, Bree Gulgefer, the captain of the second team of the Knights Templar, and two members of the team made their way to a reception room.As captain, Bray was entitled to sit in his seat to rest, while the two members of his entourage stood slightly relaxed behind him.Bray's mind was a little confused right now.There was a big discrepancy between what he saw in the border town and what he knew, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.At first, when Bray saw that there were still people in Frontier Town from a distance, he immediately understood why he couldn't wait for the undead monster to appear in the Dongsheng Fortress.It turned out that Frontier Town was fighting the undead monsters alone.But why are there still people here?
Didn't Duke Eddie send a ship to pick them up?
Could it be that the selfish Lord Eisen has sealed off the town and forbade anyone to leave.Without the support of the Templars, could the ordinary knights of the border town hold the northern wall?
No way.Could it be that Lord Eisen really used his own people as cannon fodder and sent them to the front line to fight against the undead monsters?
Thinking that the people of Frontier Town might be in dire straits, Bray and his party couldn't help but speed up their pace.Entering the border town, he did not see any blockade facilities, and people's movement was not blocked.On the street, someone is clearing the snow from the ground with tools; Although there were not many people who went out, they talked and laughed in the streets, and they did not worry about the threat from the north.Those who don't know may think that this is just a quiet and peaceful town.The situation in front of him is very wrong, is it the Marquis of Eisen who successfully blocked the attack of the undead monsters?
In order to find out, Bray immediately led the two members of the team to the Lord's Castle.At this moment, the door opened, and a young man dressed in aristocratic attire and a female knight entered.Seeing this, Bray immediately got up and greeted him."
When we first met, you must be the new lord of Frontier Town, Lord Marquis Owen Eisen, right?""
That's right, what do you call you?"
Owen replied heartily."
I'm Bree Ggergerf, Captain of the Second Templar Order.""
Captain Gergjief, let's sit down and talk."
The two sat down facing each other, and the maid hurriedly brought the freshly brewed tea.There was silence for a short while before Bray spoke, "Lord Eisen, why didn't you evacuate?"
”"We have enough strength to keep the enemy out of the walls, so why evacuate?""
But Duke Eddy says your walls are ......"
"About the gap in the walls."
Owen suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the other party's words."
The northern wall has long been repaired, and it is very strong, more than enough to withstand the undead monsters.From the beginning of winter to the present, the border town has been safe and sound, which is the best proof. ”"You mean to say that I was lied to, right?"
At this point, Bray suddenly reacted to the fact that he was blinded by Duke Eddie's lies."
Isn't that a plain truth?""
Damn!"
Bray couldn't help but clench his fists and said indignantly: "Duke Eddie also said that he would send a lot of ships to help the civilians of the border town take refuge, so that we can prepare to deal with the undead monsters, but this time it was all in vain." ”"Humph!"
Owen sneered, "How could he be so kind to send a ship to pick up people, but instead sent spies over and plotted to burn down the granaries in the border town to force us to evacuate, but fortunately we were discovered in time." ”"I'm really sorry, it's all because I, the captain, am incompetent, and I easily believe Duke Eddie's words."
Bray felt guilty for wasting so much time."
No wonder Duke Eddie won't even lend us a boat, so I can only pick two members of the team to go north on foot to reconnoiter the situation.""
You don't have to apologize."
Owen didn't blame Bray, it was all Duke Eddie's fault.Now, everything is clear, and Duke Eddie's credibility should have dropped to freezing point."
Even without your support, we are confident that we can protect the border town with our own strength.""
Marquis Eisen, are you able to defend the northern wall because you have a powerful weapon?"
Bray asked curiously."
That's just one of the reasons, if you're interested, you might as well follow me to the northern wall.""
Then trouble Marquis Eisen."
Owen and his party left the castle and set off for the northern city wall.Seeing the intact city wall from afar, Bray was both amazed and puzzled, how exactly was the gap in the wall repaired?
I remember that Duke Eddie said that it was made of gray mud and rough stones, which was obviously very strategic.At this moment, the two team members behind Bray suddenly drew their long swords and said vigilantly: "Lizardmen?!"
”It's a professional habit.As the Templars also dealt with cases of subhuman races, who usually did not hesitate to kill humans, they had to make sure that their lives were not threatened.Even if the new faction is already promoting the idea of racial equality, the sub-ethnic hatred of human beings is not a day or two, and it is impossible for the two sides to put aside their hatred and live in peace all at once.
