MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 48 : closed city gate

This is a serious dereliction of duty. If the captain finds out, it will definitely be too much to go around. So the guards began to consider whether they should characterize this group of people as gangsters with evil intentions and just silence them.

Forget it, let's ask the way first, the guard thought to himself.

The guards were not stupid either. If the group of people below had some background, wouldn't they be asking for their own death.

Tenants, civilians, merchants, mercenaries, as long as these people are directly designated as bandits here, then killing them is no big deal, after all, it is useless to seek justice for these people.

But if there are nobles among the people below, it will be different, and his "framing" will be exposed immediately.

Because every nobleman is involved in a huge network of relationships, and noblemen can't be bandits, so it's better to ask clearly.

"People below, report your identities." The guard quietly held the longbow hanging by his side, and winked with his companions who had just "arrived" next to him.

The guards who arrived understood what he meant, so they stretched out their hands to their longbows.

These guards who just arrived are even more excessive than the guard who has been here. The guard is just dereliction of duty, but they are already AWOL.

The punishment for leaving without authorization is even more terrifying than dereliction of duty. If people find out, even the captain can't protect them, and the guards who just arrived don't want it to get out.

At the gate of the city, Xi Weier's face gradually turned serious. After fighting for decades, he could already faintly feel the killing intent coming from the city wall.

Of course, Xi Weier didn't think about other places, but simply thought that the guards on the city wall showed their killing intent because they were wary of them.

After all, in Xi Weier's impression, the lord's private army around the Gru Mountains would not do such a thing of killing good people and taking meritorious deeds.

But what Xi Weier didn't know was that Dougherty City was different from the territories around the Gelu Mountains. The peace here all year round made the discipline of the army here already corrupt.

It is not uncommon for guards to extort civilians. There have even been a few cases of killing good people for meritorious service secretly, all of which were done by high-ranking officers for merit.

It was also because of this that when the guards found out that they had left their posts without authorization, and it might be spread by others, the first thing they thought of was killing people to silence them.

After all, the dead will shut up forever, and they can add credit to themselves, so why not do it, so the only problem now is the identity of Simon and others.

As long as they are not nobles, they will all be killed, but if they are nobles, then these guards can only consider themselves unlucky. After all, the crime of murdering nobles is much more serious than leaving their posts without authorization.

If AWOL is discovered, it will only be 20 lashes and half a year's military pay, which the guards can bear with gritted teeth.

And murdering nobles is a proper death sentence, and there is no room for relaxation.

"I am the vassal of Earl Hawke of the High Mountain Territory, the knight Xavier." In order to make the guards on the city wall let down their guard, Xavier loudly revealed his identity.

"Geta", the guards on the city wall trembled in their hearts when they heard Xi Weier's words. What they were most worried about happened.

Among the group of people at the gate of the city, there were indeed nobles, not the kind of weak nobles, but the retainers of an earl.

"Here, Knight Xavier." The guard on the city wall was a bit embarrassed, and shouted to Xavier: "The city gate has been closed, can you come back tomorrow?"

In fact, it is not impossible to open the door for Xi Weier and his group, but these guards are afraid that after Xi Weier and others go in, they will expose their departure without authorization.

If they wait until tomorrow to enter the city, firstly, they have already changed several shifts at that time, and under such heavy rain, Xi Weier can't see their faces clearly, and even if they report it tomorrow, they won't be able to recognize them.

The second is that if Xavier goes to report tomorrow, there will be no evidence. If you say that I left my post yesterday, then you can show evidence.

"Uh", well, Xi Weier is a nobleman, and the words of the nobleman are the evidence.

But it's nothing, it's not that he was caught on the spot and bribed his boss with some money, then it's nothing, after all, Xi Weier is just a knight, and the weight of what he said is not very heavy.

To sum up, the current strategy of these guards is just one word, procrastination, if they procrastinate until tomorrow, they will have room to operate.

"Well, what should I do?" Xi Weier was an upright knight, of course he would not force the guards to violate the rules, so after hearing what the guards said, he also fell into a dilemma.

"Hey", Simon, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed, he knew that he had to go out, they had to go into the city today, or else they would have to spend the night in a nearby village in the dark and in the rain .

"Knights of Silver, let me tell them," UU Reading www. uukanshu.com got out of the carriage, Simon said to Xi Weier beside the carriage.

"Well," Xi Weier nodded, he also understood that his group of people had to enter the city, but the knight's morality made him not want to embarrass these guards.

Master Simon has been very eccentric since he was a child, so he should have his own way to make the guards open the city gate obediently, Xi Weier thought to himself.

"Hey, people above, listen up." Simon has not undergone warrior training, and his body is weak after all, so shouting in this heavy rain is not as easy as Xi Weier and the guards.

He was almost shouting at the top of the city wall. Hearing Simon's sharp voice, the guards on the city wall couldn't help booing each other, and then laughed in their hearts: "The knight below can't let us open the door, you alone What's the use of a brat shouting."

"I am the great-great-great-grandson of Grand Duke Gaseppe. Grand Duke Gaseppe knows that I am coming today and is waiting for me in the mansion. If you don't let me in, you will bear the consequences," Simon shouted angrily.

"Haha, cough~", Guy, who was sitting in the carriage, laughed and coughed directly after hearing Simon's shout.

Made, obviously I am the great-great-grandson of Grand Duke Gaseppe.

Guy wanted to think about it, but he didn't come out to expose Simon. After all, he was ashamed to be like Simon, shouting at the top of his voice like a psychopath.

"Fuck," the guard cursed inwardly when he heard Simon's shout, and luckily asked about the identities of this group of people.

If they had just acted in a hurry, they would probably have hanged the whole family, but the premise was that the people below were really the great-great-grandson of Grand Duke Gaseppe.

"Here, how do you prove your identity?" The guard was still thinking about whether the people below deliberately lied to them in order to let them open the door.
