Chapter 279: Sturdy folk

The next day, after packing, the messenger group was on the road again.
The old Basil was sitting in the carriage as yesterday.
There is not much distance to the destination of Lancaster for this trip, and it will definitely be able to arrive by this evening at the latest.
For him, the core figure of the messenger group, the most important thing in the moment is to think carefully about the attitude of Lancaster.
Is it an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away from the beginning, and setting the boundaries of official affairs, or is it pretending to be enthusiastic and paralyzing the other side, while arrogating the other side?
As soon as these two thoughts came to mind in the old man of Basil, he was immediately denied by himself.
It is certainly not possible to show apathy or even hostility.
Although Her Majesty the New Emperor will definitely find a target to kill chickens and tamarins, but if Her Majesty's selection is not Lankester, then his behavior is likely to mislead the Lord of Lankester, causing him to think that he is also the target of the blow. In a sense, it is not wrong, but after all, it is not the time to push Lancaster to the enemy's side, or worse, it may cause the army of the new emperor to fall into the back of the enemy.
Regardless of the victory or defeat at that time, I absolutely cannot escape the blame.
Pretending intimacy is not a good way to know that in addition to protecting yourself, the responsibilities of these kings are also the most loyal eyeliner of Her Majesty the New Emperor. Although they are superior in force, their brains are very dead. Lancaster City's lords and snakes, they will not believe 80%, and will tell the new emperor everything jealously.
Although Her Majesty the New Emperor is able to see through his purpose, it is safe to say that he still does not want to be included in the chaos. They may not be clear, but the old people in the dynasty like Basil have long realized that the New Emperor wants Eliminate all instability in the entire Valla Empire.
Including the descendants of the duchy of the Principality in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic, the great aristocrats who threatened the royal family, the lords who did not listen to the dispatch, the old ministers of Tierra, etc ...
The Lancaster city occupies the last two items, plus the status of a commercial city that even the royal family has eyes on. It is a proper target for clearance, but it is not known what order it will be in the order of the clearance list.
Basil was able to live so much under the lord, and his character was quite slippery, so he didn't want to have anything to do with the reserve of the chaotic party.
"Anyway, if Knight Monan is right, there are no powerful fighters in the Lancaster city guards, so just let the Cavaliers give them down for Lancaster. After that, I will be a little more enthusiastic, and I should just I can leave a deep impression. "
Basil murmured to himself.
Before the old man Basil thought of a better way, he suddenly felt the carriage stopped.
"Are we there yet?" Elder Basil opened the curtains, and his expression changed slightly. "But it doesn't look like a city in front."
"Sir Basil, someone is blocking our way."
Mo Nan directed the solo bird near the carriage, and his voice sounded weird.
The old man didn't think too much, and opened the front door of the carriage, only to see who was blocking the road.
A tall but not burly figure was standing in the middle of the road, and seemed to be confronting other kings and knights.
His clothes looked very rude, but even so, he could still see the angular muscles through his old clothes.
But the most noticeable thing is not the dress of the opponent, or the single-edged weapon that is obviously longer than the ordinary sword.
It was the ornament on his head.
That's a pink flounder hood.
The halibut's tail is facing up and its head is facing down, and the two eyes on the same side of the body are staring at everyone present with extremely pure dead fish eyes.
At first glance, it seemed as if the head of the person in front of him had been swallowed by a flounder.
"What kind of person are you!" The elderly Basil yelled at the other person ten meters apart.
"A passing ... oh no, I'm from Lancaster City to meet the Royal Messengers."
The pink flounder answered honestly.
The content of what was said was very normal, but the sand sculpture wearing the halibut hood was so surreal that it gave people a sense of ridiculousness that he was joking.
Even the elderly Basil began to adjust the evaluation of the Lancaster Lord secretly in his heart from 'a wise man who can make a wise decision and save a considerable part of his strength under the pressure of the army' to 'whether he should not Is it an idiot? The emperor may be more concerned about his face, and he does not want to grab things from the mentally handicapped ’…………
Of course Basil soon drove the thought away.
There is no way for a mentally retarded person to operate a city like an iron barrel. There is even a sense of incompatibility in the capital, and even the baron who almost tore his face and forced an airborne death somehow died in the slum. Many big men in the city find it tricky, and can only buy a small batch of nobles who are not important in Lancaster to slowly erode the interior.
In this case, there is only one reason why the other party would send this kind of guy over, and it is undoubtedly 'provocation'.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of understanding in the eyes of the old Basil.
It turned out that the other party intends to use this seemingly tough attitude to test my attitude to determine the meaning of Her Majesty the New Emperor?
What a wonderful hand! Change to another messenger with insufficient experience, I am afraid that I have been disturbed by the sand sculpture situation of the other party, I can only let him walk by the nose. After Lancaster, he will weaken the opponent by three points.
It's a pity that all of them were seen by my husband!
Elder Basil froze his beard, and whispered to the Knights of the South, asking, "Is this the boy of the McCobery family you said before?"
"Absolutely not ~ EbookFREE.me ~ That guy has the pride of the knight and can't wear such a funny hood ..." Mo Nan watched the fluctuating halibut tail and fins, his eyes twitching constantly: "This is to the opponent Disrespect! "
"That's good."
The old man was sure, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Your Excellency is justified, and it would be too unreasonable for us to follow you here; but I heard that General Lancaster's soldiers are extraordinary in strength, so let me The attendant fights with you one or two to prove your hypocrisy! "
The old man thought that the other party would refuse. After all, the army on Lancaster's side seemed to be really bad. Once the other party did this, it was naturally that he had taken the initiative on his own side.
The result was that the pink halibut did not hesitate to pull out the single-edged long knife that he was carrying, and said happily, "I thought it was a boring errand. I didn't expect you to be so open! I like it. Let ’s, Who's going to hit you? "
Old Basil :? ? ?
When did Lancaster become so sturdy?
