Liu Yifei was "sharpening his sword", but the garrison commander on the other end seemed hesitant - after the royal mage group who arrived later confirmed the authenticity of the badge in his hand, he realized that he was surrounded by his troops at this moment.
The hundreds of people below are probably from the "Kingdom Guards", a mysterious, powerful and extremely "backstage" place...
If a conflict breaks out between a group of bastards and a patrol force in the royal capital, it will not be easy to deal with it~ Even if there is a chamber of commerce or a small or medium-sized noble standing behind the other party, it will not be easy!
A blatant attack on the kingdom's regular troops, no matter how big your head is, you wouldn't dare to withstand such a thunder...
But if the royal family is involved in the background, the situation will be completely different~
After all, the entire royal capital, and even the entire kingdom, belongs to the Geffenhart royal family. Which is more important is a group of ordinary patrols and a group of young heroes from the Kingdom Guards? These are almost two poles that need not be compared...
However, when the garrison commander asked the patrol squadron leader what happened, he didn't know the cause of the incident. The squadron leader himself was at a loss. How could he give any valuable information?
The Royal Mage Group does have the qualifications to come forward and deal with the opponent...
But the monks are crazy to stand up and protest at this time!
If we have to compare, the relationship between the "Royal Mage Group" and the "Kingdom Guards" is closer. The order they received this time was to rush to the scene to maintain order. At present, no further conflict broke out between the two parties. After eating, they were full.
Only then would he offend his future colleagues in the Guards for the sake of a mere low-level patrolman...
And just when everyone was helpless, the belated palace guard finally arrived.
Since the city gate guards had already taken control of the scene and even evacuated a large number of ordinary city residents from the periphery, there was no large crowd gathering nearby to watch the palace guards. However, the surrounding quiet streets and empty cityscape instead
The already majestic and gorgeous palace guards are even more impressive!
Compared with the "simple" armaments of the city guards (including city patrols and city gate guards), the palace guards are so gorgeous that they blind the eyes of others: a knight's standard half-breastplate, lined ring mail,
Iron gloves, greaves...
Compared with the cloth armor and light mail armor of the city guards, the cost of arming a palace guard is probably enough to arm thirty or forty first- and second-level ordinary soldiers~
Of course, being able to afford this armor also requires a formidable foundation of strength, not to mention the eye-catching two-handed swords in the hands of the palace guards and the conical half-shields they carry on their backs.
Those who can become elite guards in the palace area also start with the third level of basic combat strength. Compared with the geniuses of the guard army, the only thing they are at a disadvantage is "age" - these are all demonstrated to a certain extent.
They are powerful warriors who are loyal to the royal family and the kingdom. Although they have passed the youth period where their strength has rapidly improved, their rich combat experience and powerful combat skills are still enough to support them to become the leading elite force in the kingdom...
The momentum of the palace guards was so strong that even the city gate guards stationed on the outside did not dare to attack them lightly. Without any notice, the encirclement automatically gave way to the passage and allowed them to pass.
A squadron of the palace guard (100) entered the encirclement under the watchful eyes of a crowd of city gate soldiers. At the command of the leading officer, everyone stopped and stood at attention at the same moment.
The chants even echoed in the field, making the ordinary city guards around them subconsciously jump in their eyelids~
Although everyone is nominally considered a "brotherly force" to defend the royal city, the gap between them is really indescribable...
"Master, what exactly happened here?"
After the troops were stationed, the commander of the palace guard who stepped forward alone ignored the city guard officers who were standing quietly beside him, as if he only had eyes for the master monk whose face was covered by the hood of his robe.
Faced with such rude behavior, the commander of the city gate garrison and the ill-fated patrol squadron leader did not even dare to fart. They just stood aside, just like the most ordinary soldiers.
"Someone caused some riots here before, and the situation has been brought under control. However, the origin of the other party is somewhat troublesome, it is..."
The master monk didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and told him everything he had learned since arriving here.
Although in terms of personal strength, any one of the monks is stronger than the commander of the palace guard force, after all, everyone has different powers. If we really want to talk about the command right at this time, the guard captain in front of us has the highest status~
"The 'Guards' came out?" After listening to the master's narration, the guard captain was also a little surprised. He finally understood why the place was heavily guarded but no further fighting broke out.
And because of his responsibilities, he also knew today that the new recruits of the "Kingdom Guards" who had just returned to the royal city had a rare holiday. Many of them were resting in the royal capital at the moment, and they could really cope with the situation in front of them.
"Since it's about the 'Guards', then our palace guards will be responsible for taking over the follow-up matters, and the city guards will be responsible for the peripheral defense~" After pondering for a while, the guard captain then said to the city guards on the side
The commander said solemnly.
The commander of the garrison was previously troubled by the current dilemma. How could he not be happy when he suddenly heard that the other party had directly taken over the whole situation? He immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and left, and began to organize the deployment arrangements for the outer martial law circle.
Seeing the other party leaving, the guard captain didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, he led the palace guard squadron that had just stopped to move forward and trotted towards Liu Yifei and others in the field ahead who had noticed the change here.
On the other hand, the monks on the side, even if no one greeted them, followed the palace guard forward with their arms folded, as if they were "insurance personnel" to prevent uncontrollable changes in the situation.
"I heard that you are part of the 'Guard Army'? How many people are there? Why did the conflict break out with the city guards?"
After the palace guard captain led the team into the core area, he didn't waste any time and stepped forward to ask loudly at the hundreds of tall and sturdy "suspicious persons" on the opposite side.
The next moment, Liu Yifei, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and said loudly: "Sir, except for those lying on the ground and this little brother, the rest of the people present are all recruits from this 'Guard Army'.
However, they did not break out into a conflict with the city guards. It was just me who had a fight with them, and then the rest of the guard brothers were afraid that I would suffer a loss, so they reminded me, and then I was accidentally involved in this matter.
As for why I fought with the city guards...
Sir, I am reporting this with my real name! Among the city guard patrols in this area, some people have been bullying and beating their colleagues for a long time. They have ignored their duties and royal laws and snatched my weapons in the street. They have framed me one after another, and even wanted to at one point.
To murder me!
Why did I have a conflict with the city guards?
Precisely because if I don't fight back, I'm afraid I will become the soul of the opponent's sword at this moment!
Sir, do I have a choice in matters of life and death?"
As soon as these words came out, including the guards behind Liu Yifei and the commanders of the city guards in the distance, their expressions suddenly changed!
In fact, almost everyone present had no idea why Liu Yifei got into a fight with the patrol team in the first place. They thought it was related to the only city guard patrolman named "Dasiji" who was still standing in the room.
However, until this moment, what Liu Yifei said shocked everyone's eyes!
The guards did not expect that the situation would turn out to be so serious - as a member of the "Kingdom Guards", they would be robbed and surrounded by lower-level soldiers in the streets of the royal capital...
This is no longer even something that can be described by "a fantasy"~
It was just a matter of words. Originally they were just looking at the ordinary city guard soldiers with disdain and sarcasm, but they were already filled with anger. They pressed their respective weapons with their hands, even if they were dozens or hundreds of meters apart.
The distance between them is very small, but they are ready to rush in and fight if they disagree with each other.
It’s no wonder that the Guardsmen are so brutal. From any point of view, it is a ridiculous thing for the “City Guards” to dare to disobey the “Guards Soldiers”. After all, although the latter are named “Soldiers”
", but the worst ones are all "non-commissioned officers" with level three or above strength, and they are directly responsible to His Majesty the King...
Is this something ordinary soldiers can afford?
As the "first person" among the new recruits of the Guards, and even known as a "hero", Geralt was actually surrounded and killed by lower-level soldiers in the royal capital... Any member of the Guards
After hearing this, I’m afraid I won’t let it go~
The city guard commanders on the periphery, who were also paying careful attention to the changes in the field, were even more frightened to death!
It doesn’t matter that all the people in the field are elite members of the “Kingdom Guards”…it doesn’t matter if a conflict breaks out among everyone…even if a few unrelated soldiers die on the city guard’s side, it’s not a big deal!
However, when the other party reported in real name that the city guards intended to rob and murder him, the nature of the matter was completely different!
What's even worse is that it's the palace security forces that are handling this matter right now!
It is almost unnecessary to think about it and you can guess that the other party will definitely report this matter. I am afraid that before evening today, what happens today will be enough to cause an earthquake-like sensation in the royal capital!!!
And what makes all the commanders feel their hands and feet are even colder is...
They hardly feel that there is any possibility that things will turn to their side...
"Are you sure everything you said is true and are you willing to accept discipline and follow-up investigation?"
The palace guard captain was still calm and just followed his duties and asked in a deep voice.
"Everything depends on the arrangements of the adults~"
"Master, look at this..." At this time, the guard captain asked the monk master who walked up to him silently.
"Although this matter is shocking, it generally does not exceed the normal regulations. It is left to the adults to make the decision~"
The master monk kept his mysterious manner of folding his hands in his sleeves and covering his face with his robe, and replied calmly.
"In that case...come here! Bring back all the city guard soldiers and these escort soldiers..."
The "Royal Capital Riot" that started without warning came to a hasty end, but it was a complete "awakening" for Standwick, who had been silent and peaceful for decades!
Although all the people involved in the incident were brought back to the palace by the palace guards and were undergoing secret follow-up interrogation, the relevant news spread quickly through the mouths of a large number of passers-by and soldiers who witnessed the incident.
In less than half a day, even many "sources" in big cities all over the country had heard about this matter, and it suddenly attracted great attention from the powerful people in the kingdom and the top brass of the army!
That afternoon, Liu Yifei's battle experience was quite unique. He almost spent it in rounds of repeated "interrogations". Even according to his "confession", his sword "Greedy" was also brought over.
, and repeated comparisons and tests with the "wounds left in the battle" on his body...
If it were any other new player to deal with everything in front of him, I'm afraid he would make various mistakes unintentionally~
After all, even among the most "professional" senior players, how many of them have experienced similar "criminal interrogation" battles? If you are slightly relaxed mentally, you may be taken advantage of by various interrogators~
It's a pity that Liu Yifei, an old man, has already mastered the art of being thick-skinned. What's more terrible is... the current situation is, to a large extent, even caused by his deliberate "control"!
As early as the way he was brought back, he had already made a detailed draft of what should be said and what should not be said, how things should be explained, which key points should be mentioned, and which things could be lightly skipped.
It's clear~
All he needs to do in the end is repeat it again and again... Anyway, everything is true, and Liu Yifei is not worried about any problems with his "testimony"~
It's just that the old gods on his side are dealing with various interrogators. As his "testimony" is constantly tested, circumstantial evidence, and submitted, other people directly involved in the matter are in bad luck!
The first ones to bear the brunt were the first batch of "off-duty guards" including Crocker!
These people were the first parties to have conflicts with Liu Yifei, and they were even the parties to the so-called "robbery and murder" reported by his real names in his testimony!
Since the matter directly involved the life and safety of an "important member" who was found to have a very special status among the recruits of the Guards, even if several nobles including Baron Feizat tried their best, they could not avoid their nephews.
The younger generation endured rounds of torture - after all, Liu Yifei was still involved in the development of the "Awakening Series of Potions"! If his life was threatened at this time, wouldn't it bring trouble to the entire military system?
Such a serious problem may not be something that even Baron Faizat himself can handle, let alone his youngest son...
