"Your Majesty the Marquis!"

Hearing the sound, everyone turned around and saw a soldier running over in a hurry from a distance.

Owen had some impression of this person. It seemed that it was his turn to guard the gate of the castle this morning. Could it be that something happened over there?

Running up to Irving, the guard reported: "Your Majesty the Marquis, three Templar Knights have arrived in Border Guard Town and want to see you."

"What!"

Mapel, who admired the Templars, reacted very quickly. He took a step forward and asked: "Are you serious? Are you sure the other party is not an impostor?"

"There is no mistake. Those three people are indeed wearing the armor of the Templars." The guard's tone was very sure. "Under the arrangement of Manager Ryan, they were received into the reception room to wait for the Marquis."

"They came so slowly, they must have come overland. After all, the road is blocked by heavy snow, making it difficult to travel." Viscount Jarvis guessed.

Then, he said to Owen: "Marquis Aisen, I won't accompany you there. There are still some matters to be dealt with on the north side of the city wall."

Ever since he had his own musket, Viscount Jarvis seemed to be less interested in the Templars. Anyway, Border Guard Town no longer needed to rely on their strength to deal with undead monsters.

"Well, then you go and do your work." Owen nodded in agreement.

Turning to look at the guards, he said: "Let's go back and meet the three late Templars."

The Templar Knights stationed at Dongsheng Fortress must have been unable to see the undead monster for a long time, and realized something was abnormal, so they decided to send someone over to check the situation.

They had all been deceived by Duke Eddie, and now was the time to expose the lie.

All the good plans have come to nothing. I wonder if Duke Eddie is throwing a tantrum in his castle at this moment?

…

Under the leadership of Ryan, the captain of the second team of the Templars, Bray Gedef, and two team members came to a reception room.

As the captain, Bray was entitled to sit in his seat and rest, while the two entourage players stood slightly relaxed behind him.

Bray's thoughts were a little confused now. The situation he saw in Border Guard Town was very different from the information he knew, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

At first, when Bray saw from a distance that there were still people in Border Guard Town, he immediately understood why he could not wait for the undead monster to appear in Dongsheng Fortress.

It turns out that Border Guard Town is fighting against the undead monsters alone.

But why are there still people here? Didn't Duke Eddie send a ship to pick them up? Could it be that the selfish Lord Aisen sealed off the town and did not allow anyone to leave.

Without the support of the Templars, how could the ordinary knights of Border Guard Town hold the northern wall? Impossible.

Could it be that Lord Essen really used his subjects as cannon fodder and sent them to the front line to fight against the undead monsters?

Thinking that the people in Bianzhu Town might be in dire straits, Bray and his party couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Entering Border Guard Town, he did not see any blockade facilities and people's travel was not hindered.

On the street, someone was clearing the snow on the ground with tools; although not many people went out, they were talking and laughing on the street, not worried about the threat from the north.

People who don't know may think this is just a quiet and peaceful town.

The situation in front of him was very strange. Did Marquis Essen successfully block the attack of the undead monster? In order to find out, Bray immediately led two team members to the Lord's Castle.

At this time, the door was opened, and a young man dressed in noble clothing and a female knight walked in.

Upon seeing this, Bray immediately stood up and went to greet him.

"This is our first meeting. I guess you are the new lord of Border Guard Town, Lord Owen Eisen, right?"

"Yes, what do you call me?" Owen responded cheerfully.

"I am Bray Gedef, captain of the Second Order of the Templars."

"Captain Gerald, let's sit down and talk."

The two sat down facing each other, and the maid quickly brought the tea that had just been brewed.

After a short moment of silence, Bray said: "Lord Aisen, why didn't you evacuate?"

"We have enough power to keep the enemy outside the city wall, so why do we need to evacuate?"

"But Duke Eddie said your city wall..."

"About the gap in the city wall."

Owen suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the other party's words.

"The northern city wall has been repaired a long time ago. It is very strong and can more than resist undead monsters. From the beginning of winter to now, Border Guard Town has been safe and sound. This is the best proof."

"You mean I was cheated, right?"

At this point, Bray suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Duke Eddie's lies.

"Isn't this an obvious fact?"

"hateful!"

Bray couldn't help but clenched his fists and said angrily: "Duke Eddie also said that he would send many ships to help the civilians in Border Guard Town evacuate and prepare us to deal with the undead monsters. Now it's all in vain."

"Hmph!" Owen sneered, "How could he be so kind as to send a ship to pick up people? Instead, he sent spies over and plotted to burn down the granary in Border Guard Town to force us to evacuate. Fortunately, he was discovered in time."

"I'm really sorry. It's all because of my incompetence as a captain. I believed Duke Eddie's words so easily."

Bray felt deeply guilty for wasting so much time.

"No wonder Duke Eddie wouldn't even lend us a boat, so I could only select a few team members to go north on foot to investigate the situation."

"You don't have to apologize."

Owen didn't blame Bray, it was all Duke Eddie's fault. Now that everything is clear, Duke Eddie's credibility should have dropped to freezing point.

"Even without your support, we are confident that we can protect Border Guard Town on our own."

"Marquis Aisen, is it because you have a powerful weapon that you can defend the northern city wall?" Bray asked curiously.

"This is just one of the reasons. If you are interested, you might as well follow me to the north city wall to have a look."

"Then I'll trouble Marquis Aisen."

Owen and his party left the castle and set out for the northern city wall.

Seeing the intact city wall from a distance, Bray was amazed and confused. How on earth was the gap in the city wall repaired? I remember Duke Eddie said that it was made of gray mud and rubble. Obviously, this kind of mud was of great strategic use.

At this moment, the two team members behind Bray suddenly pulled out their swords and said warily: "Lizard Man?!"

This can be said to be a professional habit.

Because the Templars will also deal with cases involving the demihuman race, these demihumans usually kill humans without hesitation, so they must ensure that their lives are not threatened.
