king of the castle

Chapter 275

A group of dusty soldiers walked into the town slowly under the leadership of the officer, although the soldiers seemed a little tired due to the long journey. 【】But everyone still straightened their backs, and the team lined up very neatly. One knew that this was an elite division.

"One step too late!" Roger couldn't help sighing inwardly when the soldiers walked towards the square, knowing that the plan to deal with Farrell directly had failed.

"I am Edward Knight, the captain of the guards appointed by the military to protect Earl Farrell!" An officer on horseback stepped forward and said to Chris who had already controlled Farrell: "Who are you, why do you want to salute Lord Farrell?" ? Tell your reasons, or you will be executed for attacking the nobles of the kingdom!"

"I told him to do this." Roger on the side said lazily: "This person claims to be a nobleman but he can't provide any proof. I suspect he is a fake, so I asked someone to take him back to investigate carefully. ,is there a problem?"

"Excuse me, who are you?" Edward asked with a glance at Roger.

"I am Baron Roger Lee, the local lord, and everyone in the town can prove it." Roger squinted at the other party and said, "You claim to be a knight, what proof do you have?"

Unexpectedly, this unassuming young man was the lord here, and Edward was also a little surprised.However, he quickly adjusted his mood, got off his horse and saluted Roger: "Please forgive me, my lord. This is my identification card, please!"

Roger took the identity handed over by Edward and found no problems, so he said with some regret: "Welcome to my territory, Edward Knight."

According to Roger's original plan, as long as there is a problem with Edward's certificate, he will seize this opportunity to kill him and his soldiers, and then send Farrell to go on the road with them.But this Edward was obviously not such a fool as Farrell, and he didn't leave any flaws, which made Roger helpless.

"Lord Roger, on my honor as a knight, this is indeed Earl Farrell." Edward pressed on step by step, "I believe that the documents that can prove his identity must be in the carriage, please let him go." .”

Roger couldn't turn his back on a real knight of the kingdom in public, so he could only signal Chris to let Farrell go, and then said with a smile: "Earl Farrell, I'm really sorry, it was just a misunderstanding ,Ha ha!"

Although Roger apologized to the other party on the surface, it was Farrell who really suffered.Not only was the servant chopped off by Roger on the spot, but he himself was beaten a few times in the process of resisting Chris just now, and even his clothes were torn.

Of course, Farrell was very dissatisfied with Roger's insincere apology, and was about to twist his head and say a few more words to save face, but Edward stopped him calmly, and said to Roger with a smile: "Baron My lord, we are exhausted all the way, can you find a place for Lord Farrell and others to rest?"

Hey, this knight is a character, much more difficult to deal with than that idiot nobleman.Edward's reaction made Roger pay more attention to him, but on the surface he still smiled and said: "Of course, everyone, please come with me. Although my territory is very barren, I will definitely make everyone feel at home. Feel."

Although Roger's words are nice, it's another matter to actually do it.Farrell and Edward were placed in the hotel in the town by him. Although Roger kept asking the boss to give the two distinguished guests the best room, Farrell was still very dissatisfied with the environment of the room.

The hard bed boards, dirty sheets and the inability to eat food were completely unbearable for Farrell, who was used to enjoying himself in the capital.According to him, even the servants at home are living well now.Edward, on the other hand, faced all this very calmly, with a kind of disdain for humiliation.The furious Farrell wanted to go to Roger several times to comment, but was stopped by Edward.The reason the knight used to persuade Farrell was very simple: this is a major matter ordered by Lord Vatel, and we should not lose our composure because of some small setbacks. If Lord Vatel’s plan is destroyed...

Edward kept silent every time he said this, but his deterrent effect on Farrell remained undiminished.As one of Vettel's confidantes, Farrell certainly knew what would happen if he angered the lord.Even a dude like him didn't dare to bear Vettel's anger, so he could only hold his nose and endure such treatment.

In fact, the treatment of Farrell and Edward is pretty good. After all, they still have the titles of nobles and knights. Roger can't do too much, otherwise he will be impeached by those guys in the Senate.

Roger was not so polite to Edward's soldiers. He said "there is not enough room in the town" and sent these guys to camp outside the town.What a joke, these soldiers are elites with rich combat experience. Although they are not as good as Roger's soldiers, the guards are definitely not their opponents.Roger was worried about letting such a force of more than a hundred people stay in the town, so naturally he drove them out of Kent Town immediately.

It was Phil who arranged the camp for these soldiers.Bie Qiqiu usually looks like a good old man, but he is not inferior when calculating people.He directly took those soldiers to set up a camp near the vineyard. The apparent reason was that there was a source of water here and it was close to the estate, so that it was convenient for these soldiers to replenish food and drinking water.

In fact, Phil did this entirely because there were frequent traces of orc activities near the vineyard recently, and he wanted to create some conditions for the "accidental encounter" between the orcs and these soldiers.It would be the best result if the two sides fought to lose both. Even if the orcs did not dare to attack the vineyard because of the appearance of soldiers, it would be good. This means that the soldiers brought by Edward worked for Roger for free to protect the estate for him.

"Phil, you've done a good job." Roger was very satisfied with the knight's arrangement, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "According to the kingdom's law, do we have to provide supplies for these soldiers?"

Chris said with disgust on his face: "We know that these soldiers are used by others to deal with us, but we still provide them with food and drink. It's really disgusting!"

"This is the kingdom's law. We must implement it, otherwise Vettel will definitely use this as an excuse to attack us." Roger sneered at Phil: "Our Kent County is notoriously barren and cannot afford too many soldiers. .Each soldier is given half a piece of black bread every day, and the clean water pipe is enough! I think we have tried our best, so is this enough for them?"

The knights wanted to laugh when they heard Roger's words, but they still suppressed their nods and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we are in a difficult situation!"

"You have to listen to me in my territory. You don't even think of coming here to do seven tricks!" Roger said to Phil: "Go and inform those two people and tell them that I will entertain them at the baron's mansion tonight, Watt What kind of bad idea did you come up with!"
