Law of the Devil

Chapter 28 [Political Impact]

At the end of the day, the military and the civilian population in the Half Corner were working hard to repair the walls. At this moment, on the road far from the city, a lot of dust rises!

In the dusty sky, a cavalry flew towards Half Corner City.

The cavalry, all dressed in imperial local guard armor, arrived at the edge of the city and drove straight in.

“I want to see your supreme officers!” The captain of the cavalry is an Imperial Lv5 knight, riding his horse down and drinking.

Soon, a Spanner knight with a bandage tied to his side was taken out.

The cavalry captain looked at Spann on the horse and owed him slightly: "Dear Knight, I am Cologne, Deputy Commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Governor General of the province of Lille. On the orders of His Excellency the Governor, from now on, the area within 300 miles of each other will be temporarily designated as a military administration zone, with the center of Half Corner City! I take over the highest command here. ”

Saying, the knight named Cologne threw over a file: "This is a document signed by Lord Governor himself! ”

Spann was somewhat surprised: "Governor… is Lord Governor nearby? ”

“No, the Governor is in the capital.” The Cologne knight looked ugly and looked at the wounded Spanner and sighed: "I need to remind you, Sir, that you have made a terrible mistake! The eldest son of Count Raymond, vice president of the Imperial Command, was attacked and disappeared in your jurisdiction. The Governor was very shocked to learn of your serious negligence, and I think you need to be prepared. This Emergency Appointment Paper was sent directly by the Governor through the Magic Union's Transmission Magic Array to the various armies performing in the spring. According to the Governor's appointment, the 30,000 local guards in the province of Lille will stop this spring show and search for the young master of the Rollins in all directions, with Half Corner City at once! And this time, you reported an open attack by a magician on a local military camp, and I think… you should be prepared. Most likely, the Governor sent you personally to the capital, where he asked you to be present * at the trial. You know, your report is likely to cause tension between the Imperial Army and the Magic Union! ”

The Spaniard was ashamed, and he knew that his future in the army was probably over. A magician attacked the military barracks where he was in charge and lost the young master of the Rollins.

Despite this kind of thing, it is hard to say that the responsibility lies with yourself. After all, in the face of such a powerful magician, there is nothing you can do about a small fourth-level knight.

But after all this, someone has to carry the blame and take responsibility, right?

Knight Spann saluted a gift and tried to straighten his waist bar. He still had injuries on his body. All this straightening, the pain had come down, but he was still high: "Thank you for reminding me, Your Excellency, that I will obey every order of His Excellency the Governor. I will now hand over all command here to you, and... the Governor has ordered me to go to the capital. When do I leave? ”

“Now.” The Cologne knight looked at Spann, glistening helplessly in his eyes, shouting: “By the second order of His Excellency the Governor! Horn City Local Guard Cavalry Deputy Captain Knight Span, due to serious negligence, was temporarily deprived of the position of Deputy Captain. All officers of the Horn City Local Guard Army were demoted by half! I look forward to your sins and your faults being washed with credit! Knight Spann, you must go now. The Governor wants you in the capital by sundown tomorrow night! ”

Looking at the wounds of the Spanner, the Colonner suddenly moved in his heart and whispered, “Knight Spanner, I know you're not responsible for this. Seeing the wounds on you, privately, I think you did your best. I'll report everything I see, and I don't think you're failing, but things are way beyond your control. ”

“… thank you.” Knight Spann sighed and shook his head: “I do have a fault… well, Your Excellency, the Robert Knight of the Rollins is in the garrison outside the city and I think you need to meet him. Besides... nothing. ”

Watching the wounded Spanner knight take off his helmet and the insignia of an imperial officer by the soldiers, the Cologne knight had to have some heartfelt exclamation.

Span ah Span... Do you know what the consequences of your paper are!!

On the face of it, it seems as if the young master of the Rollins was abducted by a female magician... but in fact, even the young master of the Rollins, his honorable identity, how can 30,000 local guards stop the spring performance to look for him?

The root cause of this is the contradiction between the military and the Magic Union!!

Even though magicians are recognized as supergroups above the law, this time, a magician dares to attack the Imperial Local Guard openly! The nature of such acts is extremely harsh in the eyes of the Imperial Army!

This is a provocation by the Imperial Army! It is also a provocation to imperial rule!! Furthermore, it can even be considered an act of treason, an act of treason!!

For this matter, now in the capital of the province of Lille, the Governor's staff have quarreled! How much of a response is foreseen after the report is reported to the Military Command?

The heads of empire have always been dissatisfied with the fact that the Magic Union takes precedence over the laws of the empire and have always believed that the Empire grants too many privileges to magicians. And this incident will cause tension between the Imperial Army and the Magic Union… even heard that His Majesty the Emperor has been very flirtatious with the Magic Union in recent years because the Magic Union did not send enough magicians to support the Army during the last Southern Navy expedition.

His Majesty the Emperor had the heart to reduce the preferential conditions for magic unions in the Empire every year. Even when the attack was just reported to the capital of Lille Bank Province, the news came out and provoked great outrage among officers in the army!!

Even before the departure of the Cologne Knight, thousands of officers of the Imperial Local Guard signed a joint request to the Governor to order the Magic Union to punish the attackers severely!

But... judge a magician, and a senior magician?

This is unprecedented in the history of the Empire!!

The Spann knight, who was driven by carriage to the capital of the province of Lille - although all wounded and unsuitable for such a hasty journey by carriage - was crushed by the strict order of the Governor, who could barely support him.

The Cologne knight immediately took over the city defense with his own men, then split up to expedite the repair of the walls that collapsed in the earthquake last night, after which he came outside the city to guard the barracks. Meet Robert Knight coming back for the horse.

Robert was also wounded, but the knight was still struggling to support him, he had been around for a day, his body was exhausted, but his spirit was still strong. The horses just couldn't stand it anymore and had to come back to the barracks to change horses.

The Cologne knights immediately met with the Robert knights, and Robert was relieved to learn that the local guards had assembled here to conduct a massive search.

“In addition, I think the Rollins' private army should start to gather, and the Rollins' light cavalry team should be able to enter the province of Lille by tomorrow afternoon. This affects a lot... I'm afraid..."

Robert was the family minister of the Rollins, and the people in this house, of course, knew something, and immediately interfaced: "Is it the magician who attacked the barracks? ”

“Yes,” said the Cologne knight slowly, "I brought in a thousand cavalry men, and the large army behind me is still assembling, and I now have command of the 300-mile radius here. But to be honest, I don't have much confidence in my heart. But the Governor gave strict orders to find Young Master Dewey. Because..."

The Cologne knight looked around and lowered his voice: “Because, in this matter, the Governor himself said to me in a confidential letter: although the influence was quick, I'm sure the bosses on top would not dare to flip their faces with the magic union about it. At best, just take the opportunity to suppress it, and there won't be much action. Even His Majesty the Emperor may not dare suddenly offend the Magic Union. However, it still has to be pretended, and some official letters will be sent to denounce it. And then, most of the time, the big things get smaller and the little things get smaller. Although the military was attacked, no one died. At least there is room for moderation on this point. But... that little nobleman is the key! If... it's a terrible thing to say, if Young Master Dewey had any surprises... I'm afraid it would be hard to be good at this! Knight Robert, do you understand me? ”

Robert nodded slightly thinking.

If... if anything happens to Young Master Dewey, even...

So, as the Rollins, the Count's eldest son is dead, and naturally cannot rest! Even if I heard that the Count did not like this son, but the young master of the Rollins died, even if the Count did not like this son, he would definitely pursue it for the face of the Rollins! Otherwise, hundreds of years of glorious martial arts! How could the great Rollins be so randomly violated and bullied?! If you can even tolerate the killing of your own son, then in the eyes of outsiders, the Rowling family's majesty will be shaken!

Lord Count will surely pursue you in your capacity as the head of the family!

And if the Count is not relieved... by the Rollins' position and connections in the Imperial Army. With the leadership of the Rollins, you can mobilize quite a few Imperial Army forces!!

By then, if it creates a confrontation between the Imperial Army and the Magic Union, things will be in big trouble!

So, getting back to Young Master Dewey is the key to calming this down!

“What was the Magician's response?” Robert asked.

“Magic Union? Humph!” The Cologne knight's tone is also somewhat disgusting, as you can see, after this incident, the Cologne knight was quite dissatisfied with the Magic Union: “What more can you say after those houses? The magic union in the capital of the province of Lille responded that they would deal with the matter internally. You hear me? Open attack on the Imperial Army! This is blatant treason and treason! Just one simple word of 'internal processing’ and they're done! Magicians are always short-handed by magic unions, and their so-called internal processing is often lost. They are all arrogant and think the Empire cannot afford the help of a magician! Huh!”

Robert pondered for a while and suddenly said, "Lord Cologne, I don't think searching within 300 miles is enough. Because the wizard who attacked the barracks is far more powerful than we thought, I think she's probably 300 miles away, so I suggest..."

“I know." Knight Cologne nodded: “Though the Governor's order says 300 miles, the Knight also told me in a confidential letter that the scope could be expanded appropriately, even if it came out of the province of Lille, he had contacted the magistrates of the surrounding area. Even, you know, going 300 miles is the ocean, and the Governor has even asked for the support of the Imperial Navy, and I think that the Rollins are deeply rooted in the Navy, and this time we definitely won't have a problem with the Navy's support. ”

Robert laughed bitterly: "I just don't know how Young Master Dewey is now...”

# 8226;

How is Dewey doing now?

He's not good!

Dewey's shoes are broken. The nobleman boots on the feet are not good for walking in the woods, and the legs are torn by thorns.

He held a wooden stick so hard that one of the sticks was sharpened so that it could be used not only as a cane, but also as a weapon.

Now that the powerful magician around him has no magic, he is only a half-aged teenager, and the two of them should always be careful if there will be any beasts in this forest.

Though it's safest to stay with dragons, they always need to look around... at least find something to eat! And fresh water!!

After a lap on the island, Dewey has basically been able to determine most of the island's topography… it's all woods!

His mouth was already burning, but what made Dewey so anxious was that they didn't find a drop of fresh water! There doesn't seem to be any springs or freshwater lakes or anything.

No way, the island is not large, and the overall terrain appears to be a slightly flat circle, from east to four ends, only about half a day away. According to Dewey's estimates, the island is about five miles in diameter.

A small island. On an island like this, if there is no fresh water...

Dewey shook his head and sighed.

The problem now is that the dragon can no longer be expected, don't ride the dragon out of here. And this little silly chick lost her magic, and her flying skills can only last a dozen seconds at most and she will fall... and the sea is all around her!

Two people can't leave the island!

If you can't find something to eat and drink, then go down for two days at most, and I'm afraid they're both going to die here.

The miserable look behind Vivian followed Dewey. The sorceress was terrified. She landed on a strange deserted island. The magic of war had been lost, and her heart was now extremely confused and uneasy.

And at this moment, it's as if this one in front always bullies his little nobleman and follows him to make Vivian feel a strange sense of security.

So when Dewey offered to explore the terrain, Vivian insisted on going with Dewey... although staying with the dragon was the safest thing.

Even if there are some terrible beasts on the island... but I'm afraid no beast in the world dares approach the dragon!

Lost her magic, walked the small half-day road, Vivian's feet were all sore, she suspected that her feet might even have worn out bubbles, but she glanced at the gloomy little nobleman, Vivian did not dare to say, just frowned and followed.

Though Dewey was also a little upset, he still saw the look of the silly chick frowning behind him. It must have been a bit hard to eat for a frail girl walking this far.

“Take a break.” Dewey sighed, beat him around with a wooden stick, made sure there were no snakes or anything in the grass, and held Vivian down.

Vivian's feet were sore and tears were falling. She never thought of it. It felt so good to sit down!

Dewey thought about it, took off his coat, quickly tore it into pieces and handed it to Vivian: “Here! The soles of your leather boots are stiff and your feet hurt when you go far. Then these cloths will feel a little soft on your feet. ”

“Thank you… thank you.” Think about it, Vivian has some faces: “Me, can we, can we get out of here? ”

“Leave…” Dewey smiled bitterly, and he couldn't bear to strike the little girl any longer: "We need to find food and water, other things, then plan slowly. ”

Dewey shrugged and said positively: "After a day of walking, I can now confirm that: first, depending on the direction of the wind, I can confirm that this is a spring breeze at sea, according to which I can confirm that we are on an island in the eastern sea of the Empire. Then, according to the vegetation here, we should still be in the southern part of the empire, possibly even in the eastern waters of the province of Lille. And..."

Speaking of which, Dewey looked a little weird: "I'm worried about a problem. ”

“What... anything? ”

“Have you noticed that we've been walking so long, we've been walking half the island... but we haven't found an animal! Stop talking about big beasts, not even a snake or a mouse!! It's like a lifeless island! There's not even an animal here. Also, listen..."

Dewey raised his hand and put it next to his ear in a listening position, and his tone was weird: “Did you find... such a large island, such a dense forest... but not even the sound of birds screaming! Not only are there no animals on the ground here... not even flying birds! That's weird! ”
