After two days of voyage, villages and farmlands appeared on the deserted green fields, and the walls of Chishui City were gradually revealed in front of the advance army.
As the largest city on the Chishui River, it has a population and resources comparable to the old royal capital. If it weren't for the minerals in Yinguang City, the ancestor Wimbledon might have set the capital in Chishui instead of the current Dawn City.
Brian raised his sight glass and looked at it for a while. What should he do when he arrived at the dock later?Let's shock them with a cannon first?
This may arouse hostility from the other lord. Our primary goal is the church, and everything else can be put aside. Iron Axe shook his head and said, "Follow your diplomatic process, submit the documents first."
The fleet immediately caused a commotion after docking at the suburbs. As the soldiers lined up outside the docks, the city gates quickly closed and even the suspension bridge of the moat was pulled up.
After Brian sent someone to send the document, he received a reply in a short while.
The other party said that the Lord welcomed His Majesty's army, but he needed to send an envoy to the city to explain the situation. Only after understanding the reason could he open the city gate and let us enter the city.Soldiers reported back.
What's going on?Didn’t the document make it very clear?Brian said unhappily, we are only targeting the church. Could he be trying to let those charlatans escape?
This is your rule?Iron Axe turned his head and looked at the accompanying staff members.
Uh... the aristocrats should do this. Pelo's chief guard Trav replied, "After all, it's not His Majesty Roland's presence, and Chishui City is not an area under his jurisdiction. It is normal for the other party to have doubts."Just send an envoy who meets your identity and explain in detail.
Conforming to identity?
A large family that can make the lord trust, Traff explained, such as honeysuckle in the Western Region.
Iron Axe, Brian and Vanna looked at each other. Before they became the commanders of the First Army, one was a Shamin, and the latter two were civilians. Not only did they know nothing about the nobles' communication, nor did they have the identity of being able to talk to the city lord in an equal manner.
It would be easier to just use guns to open the city gate. Brian became annoyed. As long as he got two guns, they would know what the right way was.
Let me do it, Itis spoke, The Kant family is a noble family in the northern border, and my father is also a duke, so it is no problem to be an envoy.
What if this is a fraud?Vannah hesitated, for example, the Lord of Chishui City has long been colluding with the church, and will arrest you after you go in, and then force us to retreat.
That would not do him well, and you wouldn't do it, right?Itis smiled. Any aristocrat with a normal mind would not think about the idea of hitting an envoy, as it would only arouse the disgust of other aristocrats and would not affect the overall situation.If he really colluded with the church, he would have locked down the city and fought directly. In fact, until now, there has been no bonfire or hot oil on their city walls.
I'll go with her, Sir Silter said, "At least I was a knight, and I can take care of her if I'm in danger."
Although I appreciate your concern, Northland Pearl does not need anyone to take care of.Itis said confidently.
I still took a team of soldiers and made the final decision. Once we heard the gunshots, we launched a strong attack.
……
Half an hour later, the city gate slowly opened and the suspension bridge was put down.
A group of people watched Miss Itise walk out with a dazed look under the escort of the First Army and a row of silver-armored knights.
Although the man was dressed gorgeously, his expression and manner seemed quite flattering to her, and at first glance he looked like a servant.
This is the lord of Chishui City Count Delta. When he came to everyone, Itis introduced that I also asked him to dispatch a patrol to surround the church, so that the priests and believers would have the opportunity to escape.Then she turned her head, they were His Majesty's First Army Commander, Lord Iron Axe, and Brian and Mr. Vanne.
Iron axe...what?It was probably the first time that the Count heard such an introduction and couldn't help but be stunned.
Don't worry, she smiled and said, this is what Your Majesty is used to.
So that's it. Delta cleared his throat. I've heard of the Fourth Prince... No, His Majesty the King's unique demeanor is indeed different.That... Chishui City welcomes you. May I ask, does Your Majesty really just want to eliminate the rebels in the church?
Is this person the lord of Chishui City?Brian thought in surprise, it was much different from the expected image.
That's right, Tie Axe nodded seriously, I think His Majesty's documents have been written very clearly. The church's attempt to annex the four kingdoms has become a fact, and you should have heard of the tragedy that happened to Yongdong and Langxin.Once the church's resistance is eliminated, we will leave.
Actually... there is no need to be so anxious. Delta rubs his hands. I will hold a grand banquet in the castle tonight. I hope everyone can attend.
Although he was inviting everyone, his eyes were always looking at the North Pearl.
Brian was about to refuse, but saw Itise responded. Thank you for your kind invitation. This is our honor, but we must wait until the task assigned by His Majesty is completed first.
That's of course, the count's eyes narrowed.
……
The First Army began to enter the city in an orderly manner under the guidance of the knight. While the Count was not paying attention, Brian walked to Itise and asked in a low voice, why did you agree to his invitation?The other party looked obviously malicious!
This is a common communication among nobles, and refusal seems too rude. She said disapprovingly, although I don’t know why Your Majesty completely excludes the nobles from the army, but you are now representing His Majesty Roland, so naturally it is impossible for you to completely reject these things.And now that we have established a good relationship, it will be much easier to recover Chishui City in the future.As for his bad intentions... she curled her lips. Can the male nobles show other expressions?
Uh... Brian was speechless for a while and after a long time he sighed, "Do you usually live this kind of life?"
Apart from being a little boring, there is nothing wrong with it. Itise's tone was a little sarcastic. Why, have you never envied the life of a noble?
I opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the front, as if someone was shouting something, and the sound of gravel hitting the ground.
What happened?The count asked.
The iron axe had raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. The whole army obeyed the order and warned on the spot!
The team immediately stopped moving, and the soldiers neatly took off the rifles behind them, and quickly changed from a column to several horizontal lines.
Just then, Sylvie, located in the middle of the team, whispered, beware!There is a magical reaction ahead!
As the largest city on the Chishui River, it has a population and resources comparable to the old royal capital. If it weren't for the minerals in Yinguang City, the ancestor Wimbledon might have set the capital in Chishui instead of the current Dawn City.
