Nothing happened all night.
Except for a prairie rabbit that strayed into the camp, no accidents occurred.
As for the prairie rabbit, it became rabbit stew for breakfast.
After breakfast, the group loaded up and set off.
Rush to the Canyon Fortress.
Walking through the relatively bright woods, casually fighting off a group of mischievous monkey creatures.
Finally, around eleven o'clock in the morning, Nok and his party passed through the woods and saw the towering city wall standing in the middle of the mountains.
The huge city wall surprised Nok.
Others were not surprised at all.
They have either seen it or heard about it.
So I have some clues in my mind.
Only Nok looked at the hundred-meter-high wall, which was just a small section stuck in the mountain. He didn't know how many hundred meters or even kilometers there were from the mountainside.
Anyway, Nok, who was standing outside the woods, did not see the top of the Dokosom Mountains.
The team didn't let Nok's shock stop them.
The convoy slowly rushed towards the entrance of the fortress.
The woods are not too far from the fortress. The distance of two legal distances can be reached in a short time.
However, what puzzled them was that the gate of the canyon fortress was actually closed!
Fortunately, the people at the checkpoint had already discovered their convoy.
When they arrived at the checkpoint, they saw the city gate opened a crack and a soldier walked out of the door.
"Who are you! Where do you come from and where are you going!"
This time, Nok and the others did not move.
Jon rode out on horseback and came to the city gate. He clasped his fists at the soldiers and said, "I am the guard of the Tatemora family in the royal capital. I will accompany our Marquise to transport the tribute saplings of Danfengbailu back to the royal capital.
On the way, the camp was attacked by monsters at night. Our wife was escorted by other guards to break out. I wonder if she is in the fortress now? We were trying to save saplings, so we fell behind. "
Jon's explanation made the soldier's eyes light up.
"you sure?"
"That's natural. If our wife is in the fortress, you can report it and you will know the truth."
"No need. The Marquise is a guest at the general's residence in the fortress. She has already told us to report any news about you immediately. Follow me."
After saying that, the soldier got back inside the door.
After a while, the city gate creaked open, and then a group of cavalry rushed out and surrounded Nok and others.
A man who looked like a cavalry captain explained to Jon: "Don't get me wrong, we are just escorting you into the city. The fortress has not been very peaceful recently."
Looking at this fifty-man team, Nok and others did not dare to have any objections.
Not to mention whether they can deal with this well-equipped cavalry, there are also powerful crossbows, hidden arrow grids and mechanisms on the city wall to defend the city.
No matter what the situation was, it was too late to run away now.
Fortunately, when they entered the fortress, they found no surprises.
But inside the fortress, it seemed a little deserted.
You know, the Canyon Fortress, called the Fortress, is actually a city.
As a transportation fortress traveling from north to south, this city is quite prosperous.
But today, what Nok and the others saw were deserted streets and closed shops.
Not even the city gate was opened.
You know, it is a time of peace in the Kingdom of France.
In addition, there are no other villages or cities near the Canyon Fortress, so there will be no attacks between lords.
Except for the occasional outbreak of beast tides, no one without foresight would dare to attack the fortress.
For the convenience of transportation, the gates of the fortress are opened at seven in the morning and closed at six in the evening.
In order to open and close the city gate on time, the kingdom even hired goblin engineers to build a large bell tower in the fortress at a high cost, which was not as fast as the royal capital.
But what Nock and others saw was not a bustling big city, but a deserted and empty city - an empty city.
Of course, it is impossible to live in an empty city.
Nok could still detect prying eyes in the stores on both sides of the road. There was no malice, just curiosity.
"My lord, I wonder what happened in the city?"
Jon also saw something was wrong, and immediately got close to the knight captain who was leading the team.
The knight captain looked at the convoy that was a little far away from them, and immediately whispered to Jon in a low voice.
"Brother, I won't hide it from you. Anyway, you will know the same when you see the Marquise later.
There have been undead in the city these days, and our general is almost worried to death. But because this is a kingdom fortress, for the safety of the fortress, there is no Adventurer's Guild in the city.
Nowadays it is difficult to find someone to solve the problem.
Fortunately, your wife said that there are experts in your team who may be able to solve this problem.
You tell me which brother is the master, so that I can have a good relationship with you. "
Jon looked at this guy whose style suddenly changed speechlessly, unable to complain.
"I'm not sure about this. As you can see, we only have this few people in our team. How can there be any masters? If there are masters, why do we need to be so embarrassed?
Of course, it’s not necessarily certain that there really are the masters our wife talks about inside, but I definitely don’t know. Why don't you wait until you meet Madam and you will know everything! "
The knight captain did not expect Jon to be so smooth and impeccable in his words.
He felt a little unhappy, but it was not easy for him to have an attack.
After all, even their general paid a three-pointed salute to that marquise.
I heard that I personally go to the other courtyard to serve him every night.
After walking through the long and deserted street, Nok and his party finally stopped outside a heavily guarded mansion.
"You guys wait a moment, we'll go notify Madam."
Although the people were brought here directly, they were "protected" by fifty riders who were not afraid that these people were fake.
But before entering the General's Mansion, it is still necessary to confirm the identities of these people.
In order to avoid causing trouble in the general's palace, he could not escape the blame for Senna's final suppression of Xia Li.
Fortunately, after a while, Freya's guard Jack came out of the general's mansion.
Seeing Jon outside the door, Jack's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he laughed exaggeratedly and hugged Jon.
"Jon! I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Thank you for your concern. Jack, is Madam okay?"
"With our protection, what can happen to Madam?"
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Jack's eyes, and he replied pretending not to care.
Little did he know that his reaction would all fall into the eyes of Nok, Leo, and sisters Sophia.
"Eh? Why are these traitors here! Plant, arrest these traitors quickly!"
When Jack saw Nok and the others, a trace of gloom flashed across his face, and he immediately shouted to the knight captain.
The knight commander was confused. You were hugging someone warmly just now, and now you want me to arrest him?
wrong! Why are you, a little guard, giving orders to me?
Knight Commander Plante asked dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Jack, what do you mean? You asked me to arrest people, do you mean these people are fake? But you just warmly hugged this Mr. Jon .”
"Let me answer for him, sir."
Nok jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Jack.
"Jack, you, a little guard, dare to do something like this and frame your boss? Don't forget, my wife ordered me to handle all matters on the road with full authority.
How dare you fake an order and ask this officer to arrest us. Do you want this officer to be questioned by his wife?
Even if you run away from the battle and are afraid of being accused by me, you should not give false orders in private.
Don't forget, you are just a guard, you have no right to order an officer of the kingdom! "
Plante is just a squad leader, but these days are a little special, and his superiors don't dare to go out on patrol.
Then he handed over all the people in his hands to Plante and let him command.
At his level, he is not considered an officer of the kingdom at all.
But it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to gain respect from others.
Nok's "sir" was heard in his heart.
What's more, he heard that it was the man named Jack who asked him to arrest people.
He wants to use his own hands to avenge himself!
Huh, if this Jack makes good friends with him, he, Mr. Plant, can't help him and make things difficult for these people.
But just now Jack spoke to him in a tone that sounded like he was bossing around, so he was a fool to help Jack!
"Jack, this is what's wrong with you! I asked you to identify people, but you actually want to avenge yourself and frame these people. You are so brave!
I won't argue with you now. I will report it to the general afterwards. Now, tell me honestly, are these people my lady’s people? If you dare to tell a lie, I will ask the madam to come out and identify the person in person right now! "
Plant's outburst made Nok and others secretly give a thumbs up.
Mr. Plant is also a wonderful person to befriend.
Jack was a little panicked when Nok exposed his lie.
He even broke into a cold sweat when he heard Plante say that he wanted to report to the general and his wife.
At home before, he had never found his wife to be so scary.
At most, I think Madam has more lovers.
But when he watched his wife get angry in the past two days, she made the general of the Canyon Fortress, the majestic lord of the city, kneel in his yard.
After kneeling for two nights, he finally realized how extraordinary his wife was.
The status of the Marquise alone would definitely not scare the dignified general.
Madam must have another layer of identity that they don't know about.
Therefore, Jack wants to replace Jon as the lady's confidant, and even replace Ryan as the lady's guest!
But all this was ruined tonight by the news that Nok and Jon had returned safely.
He would act on impulse and do stupid things.
"I'm sorry, Lord Ryan, and Brother Jon. I was confused for a moment. I didn't say you were traitors, I meant those women. If they hadn't poisoned the team, how could we have been separated!"
Jack, full of desire for survival, immediately targeted the members of "Lark".
Nok immediately sneered and said: "Why, if you fail with the first plan, you will try the second one?"
“I said that I have the final say on the team’s affairs, so naturally I have the final say on who is rebellious.
You Jack ran away from the battlefield and failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a knight.
Instead, this group of female adventurers who were persecuted ignored their past grievances, fought side by side with us, and defeated the monsters that attacked the camp.
The tributes presented were also protected.
They have been loyal to their wives and to His Majesty the King, and have made great contributions.
Why do you, a deserter, think they are sinners and traitors?
On the contrary, you, a coward who ran away from the battlefield, still have the nerve to speak nonsense and frame others again and again! "
Knock pointed at Jack and reprimanded him.
Nock turned to Plante who was standing aside and clasped his fists and begged: "Sir, if you believe me, please ask someone to take down Jack who is spreading rumors and causing trouble, and wait for his wife to be punished. Now I have to trouble you to run for a while." Come on, Madam, please come out and identify the person in person.
Only in this way can he be speechless and convinced. It also prevents others from saying that you are colluding with us, pretending to be Madam’s cronies and trying to murder Madam. "
Nok's words immediately made Jack's eyes darken.
He shouted: "No!"
However, judging from Jack's reaction, Nok's side was the one with the upper hand.
Of course Plante would not fail to sell Nock this favor.
"Come here, please keep Mr. Jack under my watch, and I'll ask the Marquise to come out and verify the authenticity in person."
After conveying the order to his men, Plant did not forget to give Nok and Jon a smile.
"You two and others, please wait a little longer. I will go and ask the lady to come out personally."
"Thank you sir."
"Excuse me, sir."
Nok and Jon both politely sent Plante off.
Then he looked at the anxious Jack and smiled at each other.
