king of the castle

Chapter 423 Do you want to treason?

Although Doug was a little nervous, he still did not forget to put on his aristocratic demeanor. 【】He quickly sat down again and forced himself to say in a slow tone: "Are you sure it's really the messenger?"

"It should be correct." The housekeeper replied cautiously: "Although he came alone, but the letter of appointment and identity certificates are complete, I have checked them all, and there is really nothing wrong."

"What?!" The butler's words surprised Doug again, staring at him and shouting loudly, "Say it again!"

Startled by the master, the housekeeper said tremblingly: "His commission and identity certificate are both real..."

"It's not that, you mean he came alone?" Doug interrupted the housekeeper impatiently, "Do you understand?"

The butler said decisively: "I understand, my lord. The messenger did come alone. He is the only one who asked to enter the town today."

"Great!" After getting the butler's affirmative answer, Doug's mood became very happy.Although it was a bit strange for the messenger to come alone, it was suspected that it created excellent conditions for Doug to do it.For the baron, this could be regarded as the only good news in the past few days. How could it make him not be ecstatic?

"Let Knight Daniel go to meet him." Doug didn't want to go out in person, but he changed his mind after thinking about it: "No, I'll go in person, let Knight Daniel go with me!"

Naturally, Doug has a reason for doing this.At this time, being more enthusiastic about the messenger can also show from the side that he is in favor of negotiating with the barbarians.When the messenger is killed by the barbarians, Doug himself will be less suspicious.

Doug quickly finished his preparations and walked towards the entrance of the town with the knight Daniel who rushed over.Daniel Knight is also one of Doug's confidants, and he also shot when he hunted down the barbarians last time.However, because Daniel acted a little late, after Roger killed a few companions with great power, he immediately chose to escape, so he was able to live until now.

Although he was lucky enough to save his life last time, Daniel was so impressed with Roger, who killed many cavalrymen who were charging, that he didn't dare to leave the town to hunt down the barbarians.For this reason, he made an excuse that he was injured and could not ride a horse, and became the only knight under Doug who remained in the town, so he was called by the baron to fill the scene.

Roger had been waiting outside the town for a while, and finally Doug rushed over with a knight in full armor.Looking at the hypocritical smile on the other party's face, Roger couldn't help but secretly feel grateful.Fortunately, I chose to go to Beifeng Town quietly to inquire about the situation, and only then did I care about exposing Doug's conspiracy.If Daming came here to negotiate with the barbarians generously, he would really be tricked to death by this guy. Now it is very likely that he will fight fiercely with the barbarians for self-protection.

If that happened, Roger would not only be unable to complete the task entrusted by the king, but would also be used by Doug. He was likely to kill all the barbarians and let Doug, who planned all this, get his wish.Thinking that he was almost used by Doug as a gun, Roger hated this guy, and secretly made up his mind to get rid of him.

Seeing that Doug was getting closer and closer, Roger also squeezed out a smile, but thought bitterly in his heart: "Small, this time I won't kill you!"

"My lord, something is wrong!" Before the two of them could speak, Daniel, who was following Doug, had pulled him back and whispered, "This guy seems to be the one who rescued the barbarian last time!"

Doug was startled by Daniel's words, he stopped quickly and said, "Are you sure?"

Daniel looked at Roger carefully again, nodded heavily and said, "That's right, it's him!"

Now Doug panicked. If the messenger of the kingdom rescued the barbarian, not only would his previous arrangements be completely useless, but even the conspiracy with the barbarian deliberately provoked for personal gain would be revealed to the world.This is definitely not a good thing for Doug, and it will even cause the king and the Senate to directly cut off his title and demote Doug to a commoner.

For Doug, who is used to being domineering in the territory, this is definitely a moment of life and death.It is said that people will burst out their poor potential at critical moments, and Doug seems to be no exception.At this moment, he was called "Mad Dog", but his mind was very clear, and he said to Daniel calmly: "You go to the priest immediately and tell him that the messenger sent by the kingdom rescued the barbarian, and he will know what to do. .”

"Obey!" Daniel also knew that this matter was no small matter, and quickly turned around and ran towards the church in the center of the town.Doug forced himself to calm down, and continued to walk towards Roger who was still waiting at the entrance of the town with a smile.

"Small, you really know how to pretend!" Looking at Doug who seemed to be serious, Roger cursed inwardly.With his current strength, it is not difficult to hear the conversation between Doug and Daniel just now.Of course Roger knew what Doug meant by asking his knights to find the priest, but he had Angela in his hand, so he wasn't afraid of any priest.

"Welcome to Beifeng Town, Your Excellency." Doug stayed in the town deliberately, and did not walk out of the town's walls. He stood at the gate of the town and saluted Roger with a smile: "I am the local lord Doug Baron, please come to the baron's mansion to rest first, the honorable envoy!"

Doug had already made up his mind to kill the envoy sent by the kingdom. After knowing that it was the envoy who rescued the barbarian, this idea became more determined.At this moment, the baron had already made up his mind. If the other party didn't turn his face immediately, he would kill him on the way to escort him to the barbarian territory.If the envoy is acting aggressive now, he can only immediately use Father Paul's prestige to declare the other party a heretic and incite the believers of the Supreme God to deal with him.

Of course Roger can guess what Doug's general conspiracy is, but in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is scum.Roger didn't intend to be a snake with Doug at all, but directly shouted: "Doug, are you guilty?!"

Seeing that the envoy was the first to attack, the smirk on Doug's face disappeared instantly, and he raised his head and said stiffly, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"Hmph, for your own benefit, you are trying to seize the hunting grounds of the barbarians, deliberately provoke conflicts between the kingdom and the barbarians, and deliberately sabotage the negotiations, trying to drag the kingdom into the abyss of war!" Roger said in one breath. Doug's conspiracy, he sneered and said loudly: "I have already talked with the barbarian, and I have already understood all your conspiracy!"

"You are bloody! You are pretending to be an envoy of the kingdom to deliberately ruin my reputation!" Of course Doug would not admit this, and immediately shouted angrily: "Soldiers, are you just letting me be framed by this guy? Townspeople, shoot him with arrows!"

Doug also learned from his subordinates that Roger was strong, so he gave this order.He is just a small nobleman guarding the borderlands, where has he seen any big world?I just think that no matter how powerful Roger is, it is impossible to resist the attacks of so many bows and arrows.It's just that the baron never imagined how powerful a senior silver man is, and dozens of ordinary soldiers can't do anything to Roger at all.

After all, Doug was the local lord. Although Roger exposed his conspiracy in public, the baron's prestige was still there. After listening to his order, several soldiers ran to move the heavy gate.

Seeing this situation, Roger frowned slightly, and quickly summoned a group of soldiers to the back of the slope furthest from Beifeng Town.Naturally, Roger did this in order not to reveal the secrets of the castle hub. After the group of soldiers came to the main material world, they immediately roared loudly. The loud noise startled Doug and his soldiers.

While everyone was looking in the direction of the voice outside the town, the soldiers summoned by Roger slowly appeared in front of them.First of all, dozens of cavalrymen wearing chain armor, holding lances, and riding tall horses, lined up a typical stormtrooper and quickly approached Beifeng Town.

Although Doug also raised some cavalry, they were far from comparable to these cavalry in terms of quantity, equipment and quality of horses.In particular, the formation that contained a terrifying murderous aura and remained undisturbed even when charging was incomparable to the few cavalrymen under Doug.

The difference between the two sides is so obvious that even Doug's soldiers can tell it at a glance.This caused many soldiers to murmur in their hearts. Obviously, only the Kingdom could afford to support such an elite cavalry, so there was nothing to doubt Roger's identity.This kind of thought made the soldiers who came to close the door also stop their movements, and stood there hesitating, not knowing what to do.

Immediately behind the cavalry was a group of infantry, including heavy spearmen and bust swordsmen, numbering as many as a thousand.These soldiers are also well-equipped and well-disciplined. One is the kingdom's elite who have experienced many battles.Their appearance convinced everyone that Roger was indeed the messenger sent by the kingdom to negotiate with the barbarians.

"Soldiers of Beifeng Town, don't be fooled by Doug anymore!" Roger stood outside the town and said loudly: "I represent the kingdom to deal with the barbarians' rebellion, and if you oppose me, you are opposing the kingdom. Don’t you all want to follow Doug to treason? Don’t forget how the Kingdom will treat traitors, this is your last chance to correct your mistakes!”

Roger's words made Doug's soldiers even more panicked.Treason is punishable by beheading, which means that even after death, you cannot go to heaven.Under Roger's reminder and the tremendous coercion of the soldiers behind him, many soldiers had already given up the idea of ​​resistance and planned to surrender to the kingdom envoy outside the town.

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers under him was shaken, Doug couldn't help feeling anxious, and quickly shouted: "Don't believe that man's words, he's just a fake messenger, the real messenger hasn't arrived yet!"

However, Doug's words were so pale in the face of the facts that even he himself didn't believe it, let alone those soldiers.Just when Doug was almost desperate, a rapid bell rang suddenly from the tower of the town center church.
