That's very badass

Chapter 24 Entering the City and Being Trapped

Silas, who was guarding the city wall every day, watched waves of people entering the city, leaving with hope and returning with disappointment every day.

On this day, Duke Osborne was inspecting the city wall.I also saw Silas of the Kirwan family, and saw him hiding and crying. Duke Osborne shook his head helplessly, and did not intend to go up to comfort him. He thought it was because Silas had to rely on himself to get over Overcome difficulties.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Although asking this question itself is a very stupid thing, but who made the orc go crazy and cleaned up all the fortresses on the northern border? According to the rules, he must ask this question, who made him speak loudly.

Roland: "."

"I am the Andal Knight under Baron Cowan. The man next to me is Roland, the leader of the Dawn Mercenary Group employed by the Cowan family. We are here to avoid the orcs."

Although Roland was speechless, Andal clearly knew the procedures, and he answered truthfully.

Silas wiped away the tears on his face when he heard Baron Kirwan's words, and happily ran to the top of the city to look down.Seeing that everyone below was wearing armor and a helmet, he couldn't see clearly, so he immediately ran to the city gate.

"Open the gate."

Seeing Silas running down in a hurry, Duke Osborne knew that his parents were dead.Otherwise, it would be impossible for a knight to identify himself. As for himself, he wanted to see what the neat array of elite mercenaries Silas mentioned looked like.

Accompanied by the roar of the hinges, the five-meter-high fine iron city gate slowly opened.

Soon, soldiers filing out surrounded Roland and his party.

Roland had some expectations for this. After all, he was besieged the last time he sent Silas back to the city, and he was used to it.

Faced with such a situation, the soldiers quickly formed a circular formation around Roland under Mirron's call. They drew their swords and raised their shields, as if they were going to fight.

This obviously also made the garrison of the North Wind Fortress nervous. Although this is only a necessary procedure, if they fight because of this, their responsibility will not be small.

I saw that they also began to draw their swords, and for a while, the sound of drawing swords was heard everywhere.

"Okay, put away your weapons."

Roland gave an order, and the soldiers put away their weapons. "If someone is not careful and the gun goes off, he will have to spend the rest of his life in prison."

Seeing this, the other party breathed a sigh of relief, and put away all the weapons.

At this time, a boy happily ran over and hugged Andal: "Uncle Andal, where are my father and mother?"

Faced with Silas's question, Andal obviously didn't know what to say, so Silas quickly let him go and started looking for his parents, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

When seeing Roland: "Hello, Captain Roland."

Roland nodded towards him.

I searched around but couldn't find my parents, and all the people in this group were silent.Silas seemed to understand something, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"Uncle Andal, have my parents died in battle?"

"Yes, they have died gloriously in battle, and I have already buried them." Andal said with an expression on his face.

Looking at his trusted Uncle Andal, he said expressionlessly that his parents had died in battle, which was obviously hard for him to accept.

"Andal knight, why can you be so cruel, as a vassal, why didn't you go with the lord. And you, Captain Roland, were employed by my family, why didn't you protect my family? Father."

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The parents he was looking forward to day and night did not return, but waited for the news of death.Distraught, he blamed all his faults on others.

"Shut up, you, you know very well why the Andal knight as a vassal did not die. He should have followed you to the Northwind Fortress, but he chose to stay and fight. He even performed your duties and buried you parents and soldiers loyal to the Kirwan family."

"As for me, I still chose to rescue your family when I found out that the city gate had been breached by the orcs. I also fulfilled my duty."

Roland obviously didn't get used to the mind of a brat. He didn't show any sympathy for those who fled the battle but turned to criticize others, and his contempt was obvious.

Roland's words obviously hit Silas' pain point, and he shouted madly: "Andal knight, I, Silas Cowan, in the name of the new baron of the Cowan family, deprive you of your knighthood."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and everyone looked at Baron Xin Kewan in disbelief.

"As you wish, my lord." Andal took out his knight documents and handed them to Silas Cowan.

The Duke of Osborne stood out from the crowd: "You can't do this, boy."

"No, I can do this, it's my right." After Silas Cowan finished speaking, he took the paperwork with a gloomy face, and left without looking back.

No one saw the resentment in his eyes when he left.

As for Roland's previous decision to hand over the inheritance to Silas, now it is all his own. Of course, Roland selectively forgot about it.

"Okay, forget about all the unpleasantness, I will go and persuade the child." Duke Osborne tried to break the embarrassment.

"I've heard Silas say it many times. I thought he was just exaggerating. Dare to draw your sword in the face of more people, and quickly form a circle, which proves your elite." Duke Osborne paused, He continued: "Nice to meet you, Captain Roland, and of course our Andal knights."

"It's my honor to meet you, my lord." After bowing respectfully, Roland shook hands with Duke Osborne.Andal was also silent and shook hands with him.

"Andal Knight, come with me, let's talk to Silas together."

"No, Duke Osborne, I am no longer a knight. With the help of Commander Roland, I collected the body of the lord. Since the Kewan family no longer needs me, it is time to serve Captain Roland gone."

Facing Duke Osborne's hopeful eyes, Andal rejected him without hesitation.

"Well, welcome to this big family, Andal."

Although he had already accepted Andal's allegiance and appointed him as the deputy head, but Andal said so, he could only welcome it again.

"You need to stay here for a while, because we are not sure yet whether the orcs will attack. Of course, the city will provide you with necessary food and camps, as well as a small commission. During this period, no one can leave the city."

"Since you young people don't want to talk to me, an old man, then I won't bother you."

Seeing that everyone was not happy, Duke Osborne ended the conversation after telling them the rules.
