The guard captain focused on Chen Feng and Liya. Seeing that they were tightly wrapped, he suddenly became suspicious.
"Espionage activities have been rampant in the city recently, so it is necessary to verify the true identities of the two of them."
Just as the captain of the guard was about to reach out and take off Leia's scarf, Count Heyman stopped him with the hilt of his sword, "How outrageous, how noble are these two people? How dare you interrogate me? Who gave you the courage?"
"Sorry, Lord Earl, this is my duty!" The guard captain waved back, and the four knights disarmed and came to Chen Feng and Liya.
"You two have distinguished status, please help yourself! If you let the brothers do it, the process may be very rude."
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy? You move very quickly. If you become suspicious, arrest them immediately. You would rather arrest a thousand innocent civilians by mistake than let one fish slip through the net."
General Leighton happened to come across this scene after patrolling the city wall with a toothpick in his mouth.
Especially Heyman's six-star knight tattoo attracted his attention.
Six-star pattern is equivalent to deputy commander-in-chief. Only marquis and king are qualified to hold this position. I haven't heard of any earl who can take on this important task?
"Earl of Leiden, brothers will complete the investigation as soon as possible, but this earl has a special status and it will take some time."
"Forget it, everyone disperse, I'll come and check it myself!"
General Leighton jumped off his horse, straightened his back, and came to Count Heyman.
"Brother, it feels very unfamiliar. I can't say that I know all of the more than 400 earls in the Monty Kingdom, but at least I know most of them. I have never met you before."
"My position is special. I can't participate in banquets. I have to hide my identity when necessary. It's normal that you don't know me."
The head of the Petersburg Intelligence Network, this position cannot be leaked casually.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I said you were fat and you were breathless, but your acting is almost like the real thing. With all your talent, it would be a pity not to sing."
"Excuse me, I just acted in my true colors. To be honest, if it weren't for the war, I would have really wanted to quit the military and go to a theater to set up a stage to sing." Earl Heyman responded with a smile.
General Leiden took off his knight's medal and weighed it in the palm of his hand, "Can you be more serious about your forgery? Doesn't he want the count's medal to look good with a five-star medal? He must use a six-star medal. You
Do you know what military position the six stars correspond to?
You said that our identities are counts, and I have been loyal to the Monty Kingdom for twenty or thirty years, but this five-star knight Wenyao has never been able to rise to six stars."
"Deputy Commander, at a critical moment, you can make an exception and serve as the commander-in-chief." Count Heiman took back the knight Wenyao and put it back on his arm. "Wenyao is the lifeblood of the knight and cannot leave his arm at any time."
"Ha, that's interesting. Now I suspect that you are an orc spy."
General Layton drew his sword and pointed it at Heyman, "Catch these spies. I will interrogate them properly, General."
"Leiden, are you finished? I'll give you some face, right?" Leah casually threw the dried meat and fruits in her pocket towards General Leighton.
"Be brave, someone is assassinating the general, let me catch her."
Several knights wanted to rush to Leia's side, but they were stopped by Leiden, "Wait a minute, don't be impulsive. Every time a familiar voice sounds, my hair stands on end. I will never forget this terrible feeling."
"
General Leiden wiped his face, shocked, and wanted to get closer to see what happened?
"Are you very majestic? You have become the city guard general." Leah placed the Redbud Knight Sword across General Layton's shoulders, frightening him to the ground.
"General, are you okay?" the guard captain hurriedly came over to help.
"It's too hot, and the bluestone floor is cool. I want to stay here for a while and you all should leave." Layton rubbed his knees against the floor, hid his face and cried bitterly.
"Earl Leyton, aren't you going to investigate?"
"Check your sister! Get away as far as I can." Leiden waved his riding crop and dispersed the knights. Then he ran to Leia on his knees and hugged her legs. "Your Highness, I miss." You are."
"I'm a wanted criminal now. What do you want me to do? Go against the Pope's theocracy?"
Princess Leia shook off Layton, "Get out of here, I'm wearing a skirt."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, no offense intended!" Layton slapped himself hard, and the civilians passing by couldn't help but glance over.
"Hurry up and become the generals who defend the city. Can you not be embarrassed?"
Leah took the initiative to distance herself from Layton. His nose was full of tears, not to mention how disgusting he was.
"We need a place to stay now. Take us back to the palace to hide. As the saying goes, the most dangerous places are often the safest."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will lead the way for you right now, but there are Templars stationed in the palace now. If you go, you will definitely be discovered." Leiden hesitated.
After all, being wanted by the Pope, it is quite troublesome to move around freely in King Monti City.
"Lend me your Redbud Knight sword." Chen Feng reached out and took away Leah's sword, then pushed General Leiden away, "Earl, I will lend you your war horse and I will return it to you later."
"What are you doing? Don't mess around!"
Liya wanted to stop Chen Feng, but as soon as he whipped down the horse, the war horse had already disappeared.
When he came back, he transferred 80,000 forbidden troops from the school field in the west of the city.
"Are you making such a big noise because you're afraid the Pope won't know I'm back?"
"If you don't do this, you will have no choice but to hide here and there like a rat crossing the street, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the sacred temple to seize as much military power as possible in your own hands."
Chen Feng returned the Redbud Knight Sword to Leah, ran up to the tower, and showed the Neutron Sword in front of the sword-wielding knights, "Your chief assistant is back, and he will fight against the orc army with his brothers in the future."
The knights were stunned for a few seconds. After they recognized the neutron sword, they all put down their swords and knelt down.
"Congratulations to the chief minister and his return to the royal city!"
The sword-wielding knights were mostly civilians with humble status. They worshiped Gladstone, the god of war, rather than the pope who was a supporter of theocratic rights.
Even speaking, there is some hatred. It was the Pope's ideas that divided the Monty Kingdom into three, six or nine classes, and they were reduced to civilians.
After occupying a city gate, Chen Feng handed over the imperial army to Count Heyman, who personally led the battle against the Templars and captured the Monti Palace by force.
"Welcome back Princess Leia, welcome back our crown prince."
Amid various calls, Leia, with the support of the Forbidden Army, returned to the palace and released the seal of the palace.
Subsequently, the palace announced the activation of first-level security equipment, and the imperial army occupied various fortresses and patrolled them 24 hours a day.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, climbed up to the highest attic of the palace. Lying down here, he could overlook half of King Monti City, and even the sacred temple was within his sight.
