That anxious and respectful posture was rather strange to say that it was a surrounding party rather than a guarding party.

The senior deacon's face became even more ugly.

Charlotte was a little surprised and smiled:

"A commoner-born initiate? Not bad!"

"After this incident is over, transfer him back to the Earl's Mansion to be my personal guard."

After hearing Charlotte's words, the two officers became obviously excited.

You may be able to make a lot of money by working as an officer in a mine, but if you can follow a noble lord as a bodyguard knight, you have the opportunity to become a real noble!

They almost subconsciously wanted to salute, but after noticing the senior deacon's face, they quickly realized something was wrong, and quickly suppressed the excitement in their hearts and regained their composure.

At this moment, there was another commotion from the crowd of people watching in the distance, and the sound of neat footsteps of the military formation could be faintly heard.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she handed the porcelain cup to Sebastian, and then looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

I saw the crowd moving to both sides, and a group of well-equipped soldiers filed in.

All extraordinary beings, all enchanted plate armor made of fine steel.

This...is a group of Kingdom's regular troops!

The Kingdom's troops stationed at the Castres Silver Mine have arrived.

The soldiers of the kingdom came to the scene and were divided on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, a tall knight in full armor arrived at the scene surrounded by a group of knights.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, tall and powerful, with a hooked nose and a rather fierce face.

Seeing the middle-aged knight, the crowd on the scene became obviously commotion again:

"It's Viscount Remicio! The captain of the third detachment of the First Legion!"

"Is it the detachment captain who guards the Castel Silver Mine?"

"I heard that he has a good personal relationship with Steward Code, and he is also a second-level Silver Moon knight. He is only one step away from the Blazing Sun..."

"Hiss...then isn't the earl going to be in trouble?"

"Keep your voice down, that's not necessarily the earl..."

The miners who were watching were talking a lot, and many of them had expressions of fear after seeing the middle-aged knight. This ferocious captain of the Kingdom's Legion seemed to be very awe-inspiring in the mine.

"What happened?"

The middle-aged knight glanced at the crowd and asked.

Seeing the middle-aged knight, the senior manager of the mine was obviously relieved.

I saw him quickly coming to the other party, making a flattering salute, and then said angrily:

"Lord Remicio...someone pretended to be our Lord Count and brutally killed Lord Cord!"

As he spoke, he burst into tears and said:

"You are Lord Code's friend and a collaborator of the workshop. Please make the decision for Lord Code!"

"Oh? Pretending to be Count Castel? And also killing Cord? Who is so bold?"

The middle-aged knight's expression suddenly became a little dangerous.

"It's them!"

The senior steward pointed to Charlotte and others who were surrounded by guards.

The middle-aged knight's eyes immediately fell on Charlotte and the others.

Feeling the aura on his body that was no weaker than his own, as well as the well-equipped soldiers of the kingdom who could compete with Silver Moon, Sebastian's expression suddenly became solemn.

He took a step and stood in front of Charlotte.

"Elf?"

Looking at Sebastian, the middle-aged knight looked a little surprised.

But soon, he still set his sights on Charlotte and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the same time, the kingdom soldiers raised their weapons and prepared to attack.

For a moment, the originally "happy" scene suddenly became tense.

"Lord Remicio, that's her! She also slandered Lord Cord for colluding with outsiders!"

"Lord Remicio, you know that Lord Cord has always worked hard and is a great contributor to our Castel family!"

"This impostor not only killed him, but also deceived our Castel soldiers. You are the knight of the kingdom. Please make the decision for our Castel family!"

The senior manager of the mining workshop cried.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd onlookers became a little commotion again.

The steward of the workshop actually planned to ask the kingdom's army to take action and directly suppress the girl suspected of being Count Castells!

"Is this... the steward going to ask the kingdom's military to take action?"

"Isn't it good? Doesn't this give the military an opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the earldom?"

"What is the steward thinking?"

"This is really troublesome... I heard that Viscount Remisio acts without scruples and does things based on likes and dislikes. Lord Count... Unless she can prove immediately that she is really Lord Count, otherwise, I am afraid she will be in danger.

ah……"

The onlookers were talking a lot.

Among the miners, the old werewolf Logan's expression changed slightly.

His eyes fell on Noah and Lu Fu, and then he took a closer look at Charlotte, who was still sitting elegantly and extremely calm, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a slight hesitation, the old werewolf Logan gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted:

"I...I can testify! She is the Earl!"

"The Earl is here for a private visit incognito to investigate the truth behind the depletion of mithril mines! So he didn't bring any other nobles with him!"

After hearing what the old werewolf Logan said, the miners who were watching were stunned.

Then, he subconsciously took a step away from him.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the old werewolf, and even Viscount Remicio showed an interesting expression.

"Logan! You rip-off bastard! What are you talking about?!"

The senior steward's expression changed slightly and he cursed angrily.

"Guard! What are you doing standing still? Quickly take this werewolf who is colluding with outsiders into custody!"

He ordered again to the guards.

However, when the senior steward turned around, he was slightly stunned.

Not only did Castel's guards not take any action, they stood in front of Charlotte, looking at the Kingdom's regular army with vigilant expressions.

"Raymond! Frey! What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

The senior steward said angrily.

The two guard officers glanced at Viscount Remicio and said coldly:

"Your Excellency, are you crazy?"

"Regardless of whether this is the Earl or not, Castel's affairs...cannot be interfered with by nobles from other kingdoms!"

Seeing this scene, the old werewolf Logan was refreshed and became more courageous:

"Tribesmen! That is Count Castells! Your Excellency, the Count is here this time to rectify the mine!"

"Hurry up and follow me! Protect the Earl with the guards! Don't let these kingdom troops harm the Earl!"

As he said that, he actually took the lead, rushed out of the crowd, and stood on the side of Charlotte and the guards.

With his leadership, some clever miners immediately took action, picked up their mining tools and ran towards the mine.

In the blink of an eye, the mine was clearly divided into two factions, which was very dramatic.

The senior steward of the workshop stared blankly at the Castel guards and miners who quickly defected with the arrival of the Kingdom's army, and said tremblingly:

"It's contrary... everything is contrary to heaven!"

"Rebellion! This is rebellion!"

"Lord Viscount! These people have been completely bewitched! Please help me, the Castel family, suppress these traitors!"

After hearing what the senior steward said, Sebastian's expression condensed slightly.

"Master, this Viscount... I'm afraid he is also from that side."

He looked at the middle-aged knight warily and whispered.

However, when Sebastian looked at Charlotte, he found that Charlotte's expression was still calm.
