Chapter 28 [Political Impact]

In the evening of this day, the soldiers and civilians in Banjiao City were working hard to repair the city wall. At this moment, a cloud of dust was rising far away on the road outside the city!

In the dusty sky, a group of cavalry galloped towards Banjiao City.

These cavalry were all wearing the standard armor of the Empire's local garrison. After arriving at the edge of the city, they immediately drove straight in.

"I want to see your highest officer!" the cavalry captain, a fifth-level imperial knight, shouted with a stern face while riding on his horse.

Soon, Knight Spann, with half his body bandaged, was pulled out.

The cavalry captain glanced at Spahn while riding on his horse. He bowed slightly and said, "Dear knight, I am Colon, the deputy commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment directly under the Governor of Lille. By order of the Governor

, From now on, the area within a radius of three hundred miles with Banjiao City as the center is temporarily designated as a military management area! I take over the highest command here. "

As he said this, the knight named Goron threw over a document: "This is a document signed by the Governor himself!"

Spann was a little surprised: "The Governor...is the Governor nearby too?"

"No, the Governor is in the capital." Knight Goron looked ugly. He glanced at the injured Spann Knight and sighed: "Your Excellency, Knight, I need to remind you that you have caused a big trouble! The Empire

The eldest son of Count Raymond, Vice President of the Headquarters, was attacked and disappeared in the place under your jurisdiction. The Governor was very shocked when he learned about it. I think you need to be mentally prepared for your serious dereliction of duty. This emergency appointment

The document was sent by the Governor directly to the various armies participating in the spring drill through the magic union's transmission magic circle. According to this appointment from the Governor, all the 30,000 local garrison troops in the province of Lille will stop this spring drill.

, immediately use Banjiao City as the center to conduct an all-round search for the whereabouts of the young master of the Luo Lin family! And this time, you reported an incident of a magician openly attacking a local military camp. I think... you must also make some preparations.

.It is very likely that the Governor asked you to rush to the capital in person, and he wants you to attend the trial to testify. You must know that your report is likely to cause tension between the imperial military and the magic union!"

Knight Spann's face was ashen. He knew that his future in the army was probably over. The garrison camp where he was responsible for guarding was attacked by a magician, and the young master of the Luo Lin family was lost.

Although it is difficult to blame myself for this kind of thing, after all, facing such a powerful magician, I, a small fourth-level knight, am powerless.

However, if such a big thing happens, someone has to take the blame and take responsibility, right?

Knight Spann saluted and tried to straighten his waist. He was still injured. Standing upright like this, he was sweating from the pain, but he still said proudly: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency, I will

Obey every order of the Governor. Now I will hand over all the command here to you, and... the Governor ordered me to go to the capital, when should I set off?"

"Now." Knight Goron looked at Spann, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said loudly: "According to the second order from the Governor! Knight Spann, deputy captain of the cavalry of the local garrison in Banjiao City, has been temporarily deprived of his duties due to serious dereliction of duty.

For the position of deputy captain, all officers of Banjiao City's local garrison will be demoted by half a rank! I hope you will make meritorious deeds and use your merits to wash away your dereliction of duty! Knight Spann, you must hit the road immediately. The Governor hopes that you will arrive before sunset tomorrow night.

Capital!”

Seeing the injuries on Knight Spann's body, Knight Goron suddenly felt something in his heart and whispered: "Knight Spann, I know you are not responsible for this matter. Seeing the injuries on your body, privately I think you should try your best.

Yes. I will report everything I see. I also think that you are not negligent in your duties, but that things are far beyond your ability to control."

"...Thank you." Knight Spann sighed, shook his head and said: "I did neglect my duties... Well, Your Excellency, Knight Robert of the Luo Lin family is in the garrison camp outside the city. I think you need to go.

I just met him. Besides... nothing else."

Seeing the injured Knight Spann being stripped of his helmet and the imperial officer's insignia by the soldiers, Knight Goron couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Spann, Spann... do you know what consequences your report caused!!

On the surface, this incident seems to be about the young master of the Luo Lin family being kidnapped by a female magician... But in fact, even if the young master of the Luo Lin family has a noble status, how can he stop the 30,000 local garrison?

Are you going to look for him?

The root cause of this matter lies in the conflict between the military and the magic union!!

Even though magicians are recognized as a transcendent group that can be above the law, this time, a magician dared to openly attack the local garrison of the empire! The nature of this behavior is extremely bad in the eyes of the imperial military!

This is a blatant provocation against the imperial military! It is also a provocation against the imperial rule! Furthermore, it can even be regarded as an act of rebellion and treason!!

Because of this matter, now in the capital of Lille province, the governor's staff are already quarreling! It is foreseeable that after this report is reported to the military headquarters, how big of a response will it cause?

The leaders of the Empire have always been dissatisfied with the Magic Union's behavior of overriding the Empire's laws, and have always believed that the Empire has given magicians too many privileges. This incident will cause tension between the Imperial military and the Magic Union... It is even said that

His Majesty the Emperor has also been quite critical of the Magic Guild in recent years, because during the last Southern Navy expedition, the Magic Guild did not send enough magicians to support the army.

His Majesty the Emperor has the intention to reduce the preferential treatment that the Empire provides to the magic union every year. Even when the attack was first reported to the capital of the province of Lille, the news was revealed, which aroused great indignation among the officers in the army!!

Even before the Goron Knights set out, thousands of officers from the Empire's local garrison had already signed a petition asking the Governor to order the Magic Union to severely punish the attackers!

But... trying a magician, and a high-level magician at that?

This is unprecedented in the history of the empire!!

Sent off Knight Spann who was riding a carriage to the capital of the province of Lille - although he was covered in injuries and was really not suitable for traveling in such a hurry in a carriage, but the Governor's strict order was suppressed, and he could only hold on with all his strength.

.

Knight Goron immediately took over the city defense with his own people, and then sent out people to quickly repair the city wall that collapsed in last night's earthquake. Then he came to the garrison camp outside the city. He met Knight Robert who was returning to change horses.

Robert was also injured, but the knight was still working hard to support him. He had been running around for a day. His body was exhausted, but his spirit was still strong. But the horse could no longer bear it, so he had to return to the military camp.

Change horses.

Knight Goron immediately met with Knight Robert. The two talked for a while. Robert was slightly relieved when he learned that the local garrison had gathered here to conduct a large-scale search.

"Besides... I think the Luo Lin family's private army has also begun to gather. Tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the Luo Lin family's light cavalry should be able to enter the province of Lille. The impact of this incident will be great... I'm afraid

…”

Robert is worthy of being a retainer of the Luo Lin family. As a person in such a wealthy family, of course he knows some things through his own eyes and ears. He immediately said: "Is it... the influence of the magician's attack on the military camp?"

"Yes." Knight Goron said slowly: "I brought a thousand cavalry, and the large troops behind are still gathering. Now the command of the three hundred miles radius here belongs to me. But to be honest, I don't have much in my heart.

Confidence. But the Governor issued a strict order to find Master Du Wei. Because..."

Knight Goron looked around and whispered: "Because, regarding this matter, the governor himself said in the secret letter to me: Although the impact is very fast, the big bosses above must not dare to discuss this with the Magic Guild.

If you fall out, at most you will just take the opportunity to suppress it, and there will be no big action. Even His Majesty the Emperor may not dare to offend the Magic Guild rashly. However, you still have to pretend, and you will also send some official letters to condemn it. Then

, most of the big things will be reduced to trivial matters. Although the military was attacked, no one died. At least there is room for relaxation. But... that little noble is the key!

If...to put it bluntly, if something happens to Master Duwei...I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult to resolve! Robert Knight, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Robert thought for a moment and nodded.

If...if anything happens to Master Du Wei, or even...

So, with the status of the Luo Lin family, the count's eldest son died, so naturally he couldn't let it go! Even if it is said that the count did not like this son, but the young master of the Luo Lin family died, even if the count did not like this son, for Luo Lin's sake

To save the face of the Lin family, he will definitely pursue it to the end! Otherwise, how could the glorious martial arts family for hundreds of years! How could the great Luo Lin family be so casually violated and insulted?! If even the murder of his own son was ignored

If you can bear it, in the eyes of outsiders, the majesty of the Luo Lin family may be on the verge of collapse!

As the patriarch of the family, the Earl will definitely pursue it to the end!

And if the earl doesn't let go... with the Luo Lin family's status and connections in the imperial military, the Luo Lin family can lead a considerable group of imperial military forces!!

By then, if there is a head-on confrontation between the imperial military and the magic union, things will be in big trouble!

Therefore, whether young Master Du Wei can be retrieved is the key to whether this matter can be settled!

"What's the response from the Magic Guild?" Robert asked.

"Magic Guild? Huh!" Knight Goron's tone was also a bit disdainful. It can be seen that after this incident, Knight Goron was also quite dissatisfied with the Magic Union: "What can those queens say? Lille is fine.

The response from the magic union in the provincial capital was: They will handle this matter internally. Did you hear that? Handle it internally! A blatant attack on the imperial army! This is a blatant act of rebellion and treason! They just said "handle it internally" and that was it!

They always protect the shortcomings of magicians, and their so-called internal processing often fails. These guys are very arrogant and think that the empire cannot lack the help of magicians! Huh!"

Robert pondered for a while and suddenly said: "Knight Goron, I think it may not be enough to just search within a radius of three hundred miles. Because the strength of the female magician who attacked the military camp is far beyond ours.

Imagine, I think she may have run out of the three hundred miles range, so I suggest..."

"I know." Knight Goron nodded: "Although the governor's order stated three hundred miles, the knight also told me in a secret letter that the scope can be appropriately expanded, even if it extends beyond the province of Lille.

, he has already contacted the local officials in the surrounding areas. Even, you know, the sea is three hundred miles away. The Governor has even asked for the support of the Imperial Navy. I think the Luo Lin family has deep roots in the Navy. This time

We will definitely have no problem getting the support of the navy."

Robert smiled bitterly: "I just don't know how Master Du Wei is doing now..."

•;

How is Duwei doing now?

He is not good! Very bad!

Du Wei's shoes were torn. The noble lambskin boots on his feet were not suitable for walking in the woods, and the legs of his trousers were torn by some thorns.

He leaned hard on a wooden stick, one end of which was sharpened so that it could not only be used as a crutch, but also as a weapon.

Now that the powerful magician around them has no magic, and he is only half a teenager, the two of them must be careful about whether there are any ferocious beasts in the forest.

Although it is safest to stay with the dragon, the two of them always need to look around...at least to find something to eat! And fresh water!!

After walking around the island, Du Wei could basically determine that most of the island's terrain... was all woods!

Their mouths were so dry that they were almost on fire, but what made Du Wei anxious was that they couldn't find a drop of fresh water! There didn't seem to be any springs or small freshwater lakes here.

No way, this island is not big. The overall terrain seems to be a slightly flat circle. It only takes about half a day to walk from the east end to the fourth end. According to Du Wei's estimation, the diameter of this island

About five miles or so.

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

Du Wei shook his head and could only sigh.
