king of the castle

Chapter 74

"It's finally saved!" Seeing the gate of the pass slowly open, Roger couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. 【】

The kind-hearted Lisa had red eyes and whispered behind Roger: "If this door had been opened earlier, so many people would not have died..."

Hearing the girl's words, Roger immediately looked serious, and quickly turned around and said to everyone: "After entering the Lington pass, no one can mention what happened just now, and you are not allowed to show any dissatisfaction in front of others, did you hear that!? "

When Roger said these words, his words were harsh, and everyone who had never seen him so strict was timid, and they nodded in agreement.Anna next to him looked at Roger with admiration, feeling that he was thoughtful and considerate in all aspects, but he was not a person who was blindly impulsive and brave.

Seeing civilians slaughtered by undead creatures but not rescuing them, the soldiers guarding the pass are not small.If everyone is reluctant to give up on this point, these cornered soldiers will do anything to protect themselves.There are so many soldiers at Linton Pass, Roger and the others will never be able to escape in case of a conflict.

Right now, he can only pretend that he doesn't care about the killing of the refugees, and slowly settle accounts with these guys when he returns to the capital.Anyway, from Captain Wade who gave the order not to open the door, to the soldiers below are all named, and they are not afraid that they will not be caught.

Roger obviously thought of this, so he sternly warned others not to mess around.For Roger, who is a time traveler, he is used to all kinds of intrigues whether on TV or in life, so it is not a problem to think of this.However, by the standards of the Turonzo world, Roger's performance is already much better than most people, no wonder Anna appreciates him so much.

As soon as the gate of the pass was opened, Wade in military uniform strode out, greeted the proud Anna with a big smile on his face, and said, "Miss Hamilton, welcome to Lington Pass."

As the captain of the garrison at the Lington Pass, Wade is simply the emperor of the land here. Not long ago, hundreds of refugees were massacred because of one of his orders.However, if you look at the entire kingdom, Wade is just a little guy who is not popular at all.Whether it was the Marquis or the Earl, he couldn't afford to offend them at all, that's why Wade acted so humble when facing Anna.

Anna ignored Wade at all, and directly took out a piece of identification written on parchment and handed it over.At this time, she showed her aristocratic demeanor, and she was completely different from when she was with Roger and others before.

Wade took the parchment carefully and carefully.Beverde is acting very respectful now, but in fact, he has already made preparations secretly. As long as Anna can't prove his identity, he will immediately execute everyone on the charge of pretending to be a nobleman, so as not to spread the news that the defenders will die. go out.

However, to Wade's disappointment, all kinds of seals on this certificate are complete, whether it is the seal of the Privy Council of the Kingdom or the private seal with the Hamilton family crest, it is absolutely an impeccable proof of identity.This made Wade sigh secretly, knowing that his plan to find trouble with the other party's identity had failed, and he seemed to have to think of other ways to conceal the fact that he and his subordinates were desperate for refugees.

While Wade was thinking to himself, Anna said impatiently: "Why don't you let us in? The smell here is too bad, why don't you know how to clean up the corpses of these untouchables?"

For the vast majority of nobles, the status of commoners is similar to that of livestock, and their life and death are naturally not a big deal.Anna's words made Wade happy. The Duke's daughter, like other nobles, didn't care about the life and death of civilians at all, which made him feel much more at ease.

"As you wish, Miss Hamilton, I will immediately order the soldiers to dispose of the corpse!" Thinking of this, Wade hurriedly saluted Anna: "Please come with me, I have already arranged for you and your followers to rest place."

Anna turned a blind eye to Wade's attentive attitude and walked straight into the pass.This kind of attitude is in line with the style of a nobleman, and Wade doesn't think it is disobedient. For him, as long as Anna doesn't pursue the matter of himself and his subordinates refusing to save the refugees, everything else is fine.

But Wade's joy lasted only a little while.When he noticed Roger and those soldiers, his heart that had just let go immediately hung up again.

"A young man with black hair and black eyes, and soldiers with similar looks... Isn't this the guy that the adults mentioned in the letter?" Wade looked Roger up and down, wondering: "Why did he have a relationship with the Hamilton family? How can we prevent him from entering the pass? This is going to be troublesome!"

Wade's fear of that "adult" has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow. Although he knew that he would offend Anna, he still bit the bullet and stopped Roger: "Sorry, you can't go in!"

"Presumptuous!" Before Roger could speak, Anna turned around and scolded Wade, "These mercenaries were specially hired by my father to protect me. Do you want to question Duke Hamilton's decision?!"

Of course Anna would not just sit back and watch Wade embarrass Roger, and simply move out her own father, forgiving that a small character like Wade would not really dare to confront the Duke face to face.

As expected, Wade was scared off by Anna, and quickly said with a smile: "So they are mercenaries protecting you. Of course it's different. How dare I stop it!"

Anna snorted coldly, turned around and left, and of course Roger and others followed closely behind.Only Wade seemed to be at the end inadvertently, thinking secretly how to not offend Anna and complete the task assigned by "that lord".But this is easier said than done, Wade racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, his brows were furrowed with worry and his face was clouded.

Anna didn't take this little episode seriously, and in her eyes, a small role like Wade was not worth mentioning at all.After entering the Lington pass, she did not go to rest, but let Wade lead the way, and sent Rosberg directly to the Church of the Supreme God, asking the pastor to help expel the dark power in her cousin.

Because with the help of Roger and others, Rosberg was sent to the church in time, so the ceremony to drive out the dark power went smoothly.It didn't take long for the pastor to come out with a smile on his face and tell everyone that the dark power in Rosberg's body had been completely cleared, and it would be back to normal after only a few days of cultivation.

Hearing the good news, Anna finally let go of her hanging heart, and Roger and others were also happy for the young earl.To say that the only person present who was unhappy was Wade.
