Chapter 28 [Political Influence]

Chapter 28 Political Influence

That evening, the soldiers and civilians in Half-Corner City were working hard to repair the city walls. At this moment, on the road in the distance outside the city, a cloud of dust was raised in the distance!

In the dusty sky, a group of cavalry galloped towards Half-Horn City.

These cavalrymen were all wearing the standard armor of the local garrison of the empire, and when they arrived at the edge of the city, they immediately drove straight in.

"I want to see your supreme officer!" The captain of the cavalry was a fifth-level knight of the empire, riding on his horse and shouting with a calm face.

Soon, Spanknight, who was half bandaged, was taken out.

The cavalry captain rode on his horse and glanced at Span, and he owed slightly: "Your Excellency, Knight, I am the deputy commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Lord Governor of Lille. By the order of Lord Governor, from now on, the area within a radius of three hundred miles with Banjiao City as the center will be temporarily designated as a military management area! I take over the supreme command here.

Saying that, the knight named Goron threw over a document roll: "This is a document signed by Lord Governor himself!"

Spann was a little surprised: "The Governor... Is Lord Governor close by as well?

"No, Lord Governor is in the capital." The Knight of Goron had an ugly face, and after glancing at the Spinn Knight, who was covered in injuries, he sighed: "Your Excellency, I need to remind you that you have broken into a catastrophe!" The eldest son of Count Raymond, vice-president of the Imperial High Command, was attacked and disappeared in your jurisdiction. Lord Governor was shocked to learn of this, and I think it is necessary for you to make some mental preparations for your grave dereliction of duty. This emergency appointment document was transmitted by Lord Governor through the magic union magic array directly to the various armies of the spring exercise. According to this appointment of Lord Governor, the 30,000 local garrisons of Lille Province will stop this spring exercise, and immediately take Half-Corner City as the center to search for the whereabouts of the little young master of the Luolin family in an all-round way! And this time, you reported an incident of a magician openly attacking the local barracks, I think... You also need to be prepared. It is likely that Lord Governor asked you to rush to the capital in person, and he asked you to testify at the trial*. You must know that your report is likely to cause tension between the imperial party and the magic union!

Spanknight's face was ashen, and he knew that his future in the army was probably over. The garrison barracks where he was in charge of guarding were attacked by a magician, and he also lost the little young master of the Rollin family.

Although this kind of thing, it is difficult to say that the responsibility is on himself, after all, in the face of that kind of powerful magician, his own small fourth-level knight is also powerless.

However, when something so big happens, someone has to take responsibility for it, right?

Knight Spann saluted, trying to straighten his waist, he still had injuries on his body, so straight, the pain was so cold that a cold sweat came down, but he still said proudly: "Thank you for reminding, Your Excellency, I will obey every order of Lord Governor." Now I'll hand over all the command here to you, and... Lord Governor ordered me to go to the capital, when do I leave?

"Now." The Knight of Goron looked at Span, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and said loudly: "By the second warrant of Lord Governor!" Spanknight, deputy captain of the cavalry of the local garrison of Half-Horn City, was temporarily stripped of his position as deputy captain due to serious dereliction of duty, and all officers of the local garrison of Half-Horn City were demoted by half a rank! I look forward to your dereliction of duty with meritorious service! Knight Span, you must hit your way immediately, Lord Governor wants you to be in the capital before sunset tomorrow night!

Looking at the wound of the Spanian Knight, the Goron Knight suddenly moved in his heart and whispered: "Spanian Knight, I know that the responsibility for this matter is not yours. Seeing the injuries on your body, privately I think you also tried your best. I will report everything I see, and I also think that you are not negligent, but that things are far beyond your control. "

"... Thank you. Spinrider sighed and shook his head, "I do have something wrong with my duty... Well, Your Excellency, the Robert Knight of the Rollin family is in the garrison barracks outside the city, and I think it is necessary for you to meet him. Furthermore... Nothing more. Watching

the injured Spanian Knight being removed by the soldiers and the imperial officer's badge on his body, the Goron Knight couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

Span, Span... Do you know what a consequence your report caused!!

On the surface, this matter seemed to be the matter of the little young master of the Luolin family being kidnapped by a female magician... But in fact, even if he is the young master of the Luolin family and has a noble status, how can he let the 30,000 local garrison stop the spring drill to find him?

The root of this matter lies in the contradiction between the military and the magic union!!

Even though magicians are recognized as a transcendent group that can be above the law, this time, a magician dares to openly attack the local garrison of the empire! The nature of this behavior is extremely bad in the eyes of the imperial side!

This is a provocation by the blatant team emperor! Also a provocation to imperial domination !! Further, it can even be regarded as an act of rebellion, an act of treason!!

For this matter, now in the capital of Lille Province, the governor's subordinate staff have quarreled! It is foreseeable that after this report is reported to the military high command, how much repercussions will it cause?

The heads of the Empire have always been dissatisfied with the overriding of the Imperial Guild, and have always believed that the Empire has given too many privileges to magicians. And this incident will cause tension between the imperial party and the magic union... Even, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has been quite critical of the Magic Union in recent years, just because in the last expedition of the Southern Navy, the Magic Union did not send enough magicians to support the army.

His Majesty the Emperor has the intention to cut the preferential conditions for the magic union in the empire every year, and even when this attack was just reported to the capital of Lille Province, the news was revealed, which caused great indignation among the officers in the army!!

Even before the departure of the Knights of Golon, thousands of officers of the local garrison of the empire had signed a joint signature, asking Lord Governor to order the magic union to severely punish the attackers!

But... Judge a magician, and still a high-ranking magician?

This is an unprecedented precedent in the history of the empire!!

Sending away the Knight Span, who was rushing to the capital of Lille Province in a carriage—although he was all wounded, he was really not suitable for such a hasty carriage, but the strict orders of the Lord Governor pressed down, and he could only barely hold on.

The Knight of Goron immediately took over the defense of the city with his own men, and then divided the people to quickly repair the walls that had collapsed in the earthquake last night, and then he went to the local garrison camp outside the city. I saw Robert Knight, who was returning to change horses.

Robert was also injured, but the knight was still trying to hold on, he had been running around for a day, his body was exhausted, but his spirit was still tough. It's just that the horses can't stand it anymore, so they can only return to the barracks to change horses.

The Knight of Goron immediately met with the Robert Knight, and after talking for a while, Robert was slightly relieved to learn that the local garrison had assembled to conduct a large-scale search here.

"Besides... I think the private army of the Rollin family should also begin to assemble, and by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the light cavalry of the Rollin family should be able to enter the province of Lille. This time the impact of things is great... I'm afraid..."

Robert is worthy of being a courtier of the Rollin family, and the people in this kind of wealthy family, of course, also know some of the situation, and immediately said: "Yes... What is the impact of the Sorcerer's attack on the barracks?

"Yes." The Knight of Goron said slowly: "The thousand cavalry I brought with me, the large army behind is still gathering, and now the command of the three hundred miles here belongs to me." But to be honest, I didn't have much confidence in my heart. But Lord Governor issued a strict order that Young Master Du Wei must be found. Because..."

The Knight of Goron looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Because, this matter, Lord Governor personally said in a secret letter to me: Although the impact is very fast, but presumably the big guys above do not dare to turn their faces with the magic union on this, at most they just take the opportunity to suppress it, and there will not be much action." Even His Majesty the Emperor probably did not dare to offend the Magic Union rashly. It's just that the appearance still has to be pretended, and some official letters will be sent to condemn it. Then, most of the big things will be reduced to small things, and the small things will be reduced to nothing. Although the military was attacked, no one died. There is at least room for moderation on this point. But... That little nobleman is the key! If... To put it ugly, if Young Master Du Wei had any accidents... I'm afraid it's hard to be good! Robert Knight, my words, you understand?

Robert thought for a moment and nodded.

If... If Young Master Du Wei had any accidents, even...

Then, in the identity of the Rollin family, the count's eldest son died, so naturally he couldn't give up! Even if, I heard that Lord Count does not like this son, but the young master of the Luolin family is dead, even if the count does not like this son, but for the sake of the face of the Luolin family, he will definitely pursue it to the end! Otherwise, hundreds of years of brilliant martial arts family! How could the great Rollin family be violated and bullied so casually?! If you can even endure the murder of your own son, then in the eyes of outsiders, the majesty of the Luolin family may be shaky!

Standing on the identity of the family patriarch, Lord Count will definitely pursue it to the end!

And if Lord Count doesn't let go... With the status and connections of the Luolin family in the imperial side. The Luolin family is the leader, and it can drive a considerable number of imperial forces! ! !

At that time, if it causes a head-on confrontation between the emperor and the magic union, things will be in big trouble!

Therefore, whether or not you can find Young Master Du Wei is the key to whether this matter can be calmed down!

"What was the response from the Magic Guild?" Robert asked.

"Magic Guild? Hum! The tone of the Golong Knight was also a little disdainful, and it could be seen that after this incident, the Giron Knight was also quite dissatisfied with the magic union: "What else can those family queens say?" The magical union in the capital of the province of Lille responded: they will deal with this matter internally. Hear no! In-house processing! Blatantly attack the imperial ** team! This is blatant rebellion and treason! They're done with a simple 'internal treatment'! The Magic Guild has always been short of magicians, and their so-called internal treatment often fails. These guys are arrogant and think that the Empire cannot do without the help of magicians! Hum!

Robert pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Lord Knight of Goron, I think that it is probably not enough to search within a radius of three hundred miles. Because the strength of the female magician who attacked the barracks is far beyond our imagination, I think she may have already run within three hundred miles, so I suggest..."

"I know." The Goron Knight nodded: "Although the order of the Lord Governor says three hundred li, the Lord Knight also told me through a secret letter that the scope can be appropriately expanded, even if it is out of the province of Lille, it doesn't matter, he has contacted the magistrates in the surrounding area." Even, you know, three hundred miles away is the sea, Lord Governor has even asked for the support of the Imperial Navy, I think, the Rollin family is deeply entrenched in the Navy, and it will definitely be no problem for us to get the support of the Navy this time.

Robert smiled bitterly: "I just don't know how Young Master Du Wei is now..."

•;

How is Dewey now?

He's not good! Very bad!

Du Wei's shoes were broken. The lambskin boots of the nobles on their feet were very unsuitable for walking in the woods, and the trouser legs were torn by some thorns.

He gripped a wooden stick hard, one end of which 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, and he is only a half-old teenager, the two of them always have to be careful whether there will be any fierce beasts in this forest.

Although it is safest to stay by the dragon's side, the two always need to look around... At least find something to eat! And fresh water!!

Having circled around the island, Du Wei could basically determine most of the topography of the island... It's all woods!

The mouth was already dry and about to burst into flames, but what made Du Wei anxious was that they didn't find a drop of fresh water! There don't seem to be any springs or small freshwater lakes either.

No way, this island is not large, the overall terrain seems to be a slightly flat circle, from the east end to the four ends, but only about half a day to arrive. According to Duwey's estimates, the diameter of the island is about five miles.

A small island. On such an island, in case there is no fresh water ...

Du Wei shook his head and could only sigh.

The problem now is that the dragon can't count on anymore, don't want to ride the dragon out of here. And this little silly girl also lost her magic, and her flying technique could only last for a dozen seconds at most... And all around is the vast sea!

The two can't leave the island!

If you can't find anything to eat and drink, then in two days at most, both of them will probably die here.

Vivian behind her followed behind Du Wei with a pitiful look, this female magician was terrified, she landed on this strange desert island, the magic she had been relying on was also lost, and now her heart is extremely dazed and uneasy.

And at this moment, it seems that this little nobleman in front of him who always bullies him, following him, can make Vivian feel a strange sense of security.

So, when Du Wei proposed to go around the terrain, Vivian insisted on going with Du Wei... Although, staying with the dragon is the safest.

Even if there are some terrible beasts on the islands... However, I am afraid that no beast in this world dares to approach the dragon!

Lost her magic and walked for a long time, Vivian's feet hurt, she suspected that the soles of her feet might even have blistered, but after glancing at the gloomy-looking little nobleman, Vivian didn't dare to say, just frowned and followed behind.

Although Du Wei was also a little irritable in his heart, he still saw the frown of the little silly girl behind him. After walking such a long way, for a delicate girl, it must be a little overwhelming.

"Take a break." Du Wei sighed, beat the wooden stick around next to him, made sure that there were no snakes or anything like that in the grass, and then helped Vivian to sit down.

Vivian's feet hurt so much that she was about to shed tears, she never thought in her life, it turned out that it felt so good to sit down!

Du Wei thought for a while, took off his coat, quickly tore it into several steps, and handed it to Vivian: "Give!" The soles of your leather boots are very hard, and of course your feet hurt when you go far. Then these cloths are wrapped around the feet, it will feel softer.

"Thank you... Thank you. After thinking for a while, Vivian had some faces: "I, we can, can there be a way to get out of here?"

"Leave..." Du Wei smiled bitterly, he couldn't bear to hit the little girl again: "We have to find food and water first, other things, and then plan slowly."

Du Wei pondered for a moment, and said positively: "After walking for a day, the situation I can confirm now is: First, according to the direction of the wind, I can confirm that this is the spring monsoon at sea, and according to these, I can confirm that we are on an island in the East China Sea of the Empire. Then, depending on the vegetation here, we should still be in the southern part of the empire, perhaps even in the sea east of the province of Lille. And..."

Speaking of this, Du Wei's face was a little strange: "I'm worried about a problem.

"What... What the?

"You find no, we've been walking for so long, we've walked half of the island... However, we did not find a single animal! Don't talk about any big beast, not even a snake, or a mouse!! It's like a lifeless island! There's not even a single animal here, and, you listen..."

Du Wei raised his hand and put it next to his ear and made a listening gesture, his tone was very strange: "Did you find out... Such a big island, such a dense wood... However, there was not even the sound of birds! It's not just that there are no animals on the ground... Not even birds! That's weird! "
