Chapter 691: Viscount Eli has a secret

Wheat City is 23 kilometers away from the border between Stovia Region and North Asia Cape Region.

Two hours later, the group arrived at the gates of Maili City.

A hundred meters away from the city gate, I looked up and saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate were relatively calm with the civilians entering the city.

Looking back, more than thirty people belonging to the third squadron of Viscount Eli's Punishment Army were panting from exhaustion and out of breath.

Weilin just glanced at it lightly, not paying attention.

A mere twenty-three kilometers, marching at full speed, can be completed in twenty minutes.

"Sir... Sir, I will go down... to report." The middle-aged man came to Weilin, bowed and said respectfully.

Seeing Weilin nodding, the middle-aged man did not dare to delay, entered the city, and ran towards the Lord's Mansion of Maili City.

After a while, a high-level silver knight walked through the two doors, came to the study, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing the Lord's voice, the high-ranking silver knight opened the door, came to the middle-aged man, leaned down to salute, and reported: "My Lord, Viscount Qixing is visiting?"

After hearing what his confidant said, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then came back and asked with some uncertainty: "You are talking about Verin Akers, the grandson of the Duke of Moravia."

"Yes, my lord."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man stood up, picked up his staff, and was about to walk out the door. When he stepped out with his left foot, he stepped back and asked with some hindsight: "No, Viscount Qi Xing and I I’m not familiar with him, why would he come to me?”

"this……"

The high-ranking silver knight suddenly realized that he had just heard the report from the Punishment Army officer and hurried over to report it, but he forgot to ask the reason.

"Take me to the Punishment Army officer first." Looking at the guardian knight's expression, Eli Doyle did not blame him.

"Yes, Lord."

In the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion, the middle-aged man looked at the guards around him, feeling a little uneasy.

"grown ups."

Hearing the guard's voice, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the middle-aged strong man walking straight towards him. He subconsciously knelt on the ground and knocked his head on the ground.

When he executed Lord Maili, he watched with his own eyes as Viscount Eli smashed Lord Maili's head with his own staff.

In his eyes, although Viscount Eli was a mage, he was an elemental mage who was better at close combat than a warrior.

Eli Doyle came to the middle-aged man and asked, "Tell me why Viscount Qixing came to Maili City."

The middle-aged man did not dare to hide anything and reported truthfully, including what Deputy General Les had done.

"My lord, Viscount Qixing is informal and kind to others. I'm afraid he came here this time because of the brother and sister." The high-ranking silver knight leaned into Eli's ear and whispered the report.

"You're right." Eli nodded in agreement, "In the western region of the kingdom, Viscount Qi Xing has a very good reputation. He treats people kindly and does things fairly. The most important thing is that he doesn't eat alone. If it weren't for his fifteenth army No one, I really want to join him."

Seeing this, the high-level silver knight took the opportunity to propose: "My lord, this is an opportunity. That underground place..."

Having said this, the high-ranking silver knight shut up and stopped talking.

Eli looked down at the middle-aged man, his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Go and arrest all the senior officers of the Punishment Army."

"Yes, Lord."

The high-ranking silver knight beat his chest in salute, summoned a group of guards, and walked towards the disciplinary army station in the northern district of Maili City.

"Stand up."

Hearing the voice without any emotion, the middle-aged man stood up tremblingly, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Take me to see Viscount Qi Xing. You performed well. I may consider sparing your life." Eli said expressionlessly.

"Yes, sir."

The middle-aged man replied quickly and immediately led the way.

Eli ordered a few personal guards and headed to the east gate of Wheat City.

Outside the east gate of Maili City, Weilin had nothing to do, stroking Xiaohong's mane.

Feeling the life energy coming from the master's palm, Xiaohong closed her eyes comfortably.

"Lord, people are coming."

Kyle came to Verin's side and whispered.

Looking up, he saw a middle-aged strong man walking towards his direction with several guards and the officer of the Punishment Army.

"Your Excellency Verin, I am Eli Doyle, from the province of Knuu. I am currently serving as the deputy commander of the third battalion of the Twelfth Army. I temporarily manage the lordship of Wheatley and the surrounding thirteen baronies. My subordinates are responsible for I'm sorry for your offense."

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, but Weilin did not show an aggressive attitude.

"Viscount Eli, I'm glad to meet you here. I'm just interrupting on a whim, so please don't mind."

"Hahaha, I don't mind. If there was no matchmaking, I would have wanted to get to know you a long time ago." Eli continued to communicate along with Weilin's topic.

After a few words, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

"Your Excellency Wei Lin, I have only more than 600 troops directly under my command, and including the Crusaders, there are only 1,200 people. It is very difficult to control this land with an area of ​​​​6,000 square kilometers, so I recruited local adventurers and mercenaries. Soldiers, and selected some prisoners who converted to form a punishment army with about 1,500 people to strengthen the security of the place and assist the Life Church in preaching. I did not expect to encounter such a situation. "

Hearing Eli's explanation, Weilin smiled and said, "Viscount Eli, you don't have to worry about being enemies with me. We are both nobles of the Kingdom of Eliya. Some things can be discussed openly. After all, we have no conflict of interest."

"As other nobles said, you are kind, humble and polite. Thank you for your understanding." Eli breathed a sigh of relief and said with gratitude.

Weilin smiled and replied, "Haha, it's just their flattery. Don't take it seriously."

Not long after, 17 high-ranking officers of the Punishment Army were escorted to the east gate of Wheatgrass City. They knelt on the ground with horror in their eyes.

Weilin glanced at them and performed a camp detection. Six of them were in the lawful camp, four were in the neutral camp, and the remaining seven were in the evil camp.

Eli watched this scene with a little embarrassment on his face. After all, these people were selected by himself.

"Lord Eli, this is your army, I won't interfere."

"Sir Weilin, don't worry, I won't let these seven damn bastards leave this world easily alive." Seeing this, Eli patted his chest and promised.

"In this case, I won't stay for long."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Eli hurriedly said: "Sir Weilin, wait a moment, I have some private matters to discuss with you."

Looking at Eli's expression, Weilin nodded and followed the other party to the side.
