That's very badass

Chapter 54
There are also several well-equipped patrol teams on the avenue outside the city. They patrol this section of the road tirelessly and repeatedly, protecting the civilians on this road.

Their main task is still to mediate disputes and maintain law and order. It cannot be said that there are no petty thefts and people who pick quarrels and troubles, but all kinds of people are raised, and there will always be some people who try to get something for nothing, and things that cannot be explained.

Occasionally, these small vendors will hand them a mazza to let them take a break, invite them to drink a meager bowl of water, or leave some snacks for them when the snack vendors close their stalls.

They feel that they deserve it, and they often go to mediate when people have disputes.Most of the time, people just seek justice. When the two are at loggerheads, these patrolling soldiers will step forward to understand the situation and conduct some mediation. Of course, they must be approved by the majority of people. Foreshadowed.

After going back and forth more often, everyone knows their justice, and they will come to them whenever they encounter problems, which has become their responsibility beyond their duties.

As we approached the city gate, the number of pedestrians became sparse.There were only hunters who came into the city occasionally, pedestrians who were preparing to leave the city carrying a bag of wheat, and messengers who went out with flags.

The sharp eyes of the sergeant on duty scanned everyone who came in and out. Although generally no one would make trouble at the city gate, he still faithfully carried out their tasks.

Looking around, what came into view was a squad composed of about [-] cavalrymen. Their armor was bright, and the lances placed next to the saddle were cold and cold, revealing a piercing chill.

What made the sergeant feel strange was that they didn't see any family badges from their clothes, nor did they display any noble banners. Obviously, this was an army that did not belong to any nobleman.

Thinking of this, the sergeant waved his hand and summoned the soldiers on both sides who were checking, and they quickly blocked the city gate.Prepare to find out the affiliation and purpose of this team. If it is an unknown person whose origin cannot be explained clearly, they will go to prison for a while.

The sergeant thought so secretly in his heart, after all, this is the city belonging to the Duke of the North.At the same time, he held the hilt of the sword, showing an expression ready to fight.

Although he knew that this team would definitely not come to attack, but the military code said so, he had to do this, because they represented the face of the Osborne family, and they did not allow it to have any loss!

The civilians who were watching the theater nearby immediately dispersed a large area when they saw this scene.

Roland looked at the blocked city gate, which made him feel a little annoyed. He also noticed that a group of soldiers with noble banners entered the city before, and they were not interrogated. This made him deeply aware The importance of nobility.

"Everyone slow down, take off your helmets, and stay in formation."

After Roland finished speaking, he opened his visor with a wave of his hand, revealing a face with sharp corners. Although he was not handsome, the masculine aura was extremely strong.

Roland slowed down his horse, and the soldiers behind him also slowed down. They took off their helmets and hugged them with their hands, looking friendly.

The sergeant who saw this scene secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It has to be said that the heavily armed cavalry has a natural suppressive force on the infantry.After Roland and the others took off their helmets and revealed their faces, the oppressive feeling disappeared, and their hands were also removed from the hilts of their swords.

"Explain where you belong and why you are here, soldiers."

Facing the question, Roland didn't answer the question immediately. He still looked left and right to see if there would be soldiers rushing up to surround them. To be honest, he was already a bit shadowed.

Seeing the leader of the team looking around, the sergeant suppressed his dissatisfaction and was about to ask again.

"We come from the frontier of the Forest of Eternal Night. This trip is to seek the Duke of Osborne. Of course, we came here to ask for help after being informed by Viscount Whitnet."

After Roland heard that Viscount Whitnet was loyal to the Duke of Osborne, he planned to borrow his name, anyway, to help him brag about his title, not afraid that he would know.

The sergeant didn't know where he was when he heard about the pioneering territory of the Evernight Forest, but after hearing about Viscount Whitnet, he remembered that place. It was the place where Whitnet's first ancestor died in battle. Since then, it has been called the Forest of Evernight.

Unexpectedly, this is a quasi-noble. He probably came to find the loyalty and support of the adults, as he is also in the northern land, which is adjacent to the orcs.In addition, the land was seized from a foreign race, and he couldn't help but feel a little close, so he said after a salute.

"You haven't asked for your lord's name and family yet?"

Roland was a little puzzled by the sergeant's suddenly friendly attitude.In the heart that people respect me a foot and I respect others, he jumped off his horse, and he wanted to talk to people on an equal footing.

"My name is Roland, but I'm not an adult. As for the family, I don't have one."

Although it was not the first time to be called an adult, it was completely different this time, with serfs on one side and soldiers under the duke's command on the other, it felt completely different, and Roland felt respected for the first time.

I heard that Roland did not have a family, which made the sergeant even more confused, although it was not that no one had established a pioneering territory without the support of a family.But this kind of situation is extremely rare, and looking at them, it doesn't look like they are short of money, which made the sergeant pay attention.

"Is there any certificate, Mr. Roland?" Although he was still doubtful, he saluted without forgetting the etiquette.

Hearing the need for certification documents, Roland was very glad to have listened to Andal's words, and brought Viscount Whitnet's authorization documents, which Roland handed to the soldier.

The soldier saw that it was stamped with Viscount Whitnet's family imprint, and he was sure of it, but it was just a document for lending the territory, and it couldn't explain the issue of the pioneering territory.

"My lord, this is just a document for lending territory, not a certificate of development."

Hearing this question, Roland didn't know what to say. Although the pioneering certificate is indeed easy to issue, it only needs to be issued by any lord above the viscount in the surrounding area. It will even indicate the scope of the land for future territorial division. of credentials.

But when he thought of the huge amount of land inside, he couldn't find other nobles in the surrounding area to issue a bill.Because at least the viscount is needed, and the viscount himself has thousands of troops, plus vassals, which will bring war to his territory.

Even if he withstood this wave, if things got serious, he would face more people coming.

Although the purpose itself was to prevent being annexed by others, they did not expect that someone would occupy a territory larger than the Viscount's land, which caused this embarrassing situation.

"Yes, this is indeed a territory leasing document, but if you look carefully, does it indicate that it is on the outskirts of the Evernight Forest, which is our forward base. We will use this as a springboard to conquer the Evernight Forest. "

Speaking of this, Roland hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Because in public, it is obviously not a good idea to slander a nobleman at will, and he is also Osborn's vassal.
