Demon Royal Family

Beverly said: "Ivo has appeared and is fighting with Jameson and Donald. It is said that his men are fleeing outside the city."

The Marquis of the North, McPherson, said in a deep voice: "The king transferred the garrison the day before yesterday, and the fortresses on the defense line are unmanned. The right to mobilize the city guards rests entirely with the king, and no one will stop Ivo's men. escape."

Beverly chuckled, "That's not necessarily the case, Marquis McIver, I remember that your son Leon serves in the city guard."

McPherson snorted. Leon was originally a member of the garrison, but because he secretly recruited officers, he was kicked out of the army and could only become a city guard.

Beverly looked at Marquis Nilan again and said, "Your Excellency, I remember that your wife is the wife of the acting commander of the Unicorn Garrison Corps."

Nilan chuckled.

"Two Marquises, as long as you instruct the family members to temporarily dispatch the city guards and persuade the garrison to return, we can attack from both sides and easily capture Ivo and all his subordinates." Beverly looked sure of victory. expression.

Marquis McIver hesitated, "This... is not good. Interfering with the army without permission is a felony that will be tried by the noble court."

Beverly laughed, "As long as Ivo is caught, even if it goes against the law and the king's plan, it is still a great achievement. This is a good opportunity. Don't you want to take it to the next level like me? Knowing that Ivo is still holding the title of Duke, whoever catches him... haha."

Nilan's eyes lit up and he pretended to stroke his beard, "Ivo destroyed the city, hurt the king, and let the prisoners go. He committed a series of serious crimes and should be killed according to law!"

Marquis McIver frowned, "Duke Beverly, why are you dealing with Ivo?"

Beverly smiled coldly, "I have never liked that guy. He stole my grandson's fiancée. His behavior has repeatedly smeared the aristocracy. He is a commoner, not even a human being, and he is on an equal footing with me. I absolutely Can’t tolerate him!”

Marquis McIver hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I promise you too."

Beverly's face lit up, and he took out a bottle of red wine from his collection and distributed it to everyone, "Very good, let's look forward to the day when Ivo goes to the gallows."

Talper, who had never had a chance to speak, had a complex expression on his face, "Your Majesty, why did you call me here?"

Beverly glanced at him and smiled, "Your Majesty the Marquis, it is not Linches' fault that the Gold family's fiancée was robbed. When Ivo Fu is executed, we can still form a new friendship. I remember you have another one." Son, it just so happens that I also have a granddaughter, hahaha."

Talper remained silent and slowly put down his wine glass, "I'm sorry to have to obey."

Beverly's face turned cold, "You rejected the Gold family and chose to side with that thug?"

"He is my son-in-law." Talper shook his head. He would not be brainwashed by Beverly's few words. From the day Nafi was betrothed to Ivo, he decided to always stand in Ivo's camp, except for that little bit. Apart from feelings, the most important reason is that Talper is extremely optimistic about the potential of Ivo and Nafi. After the baptism of the Northern Continent War, he has understood how false glory the noble status of a small kingdom is.

Only power is truth.

"Hmph, then please stay here for the time being." Beverly looked unhappy and clapped his hands, and several guards walked in. Since he wanted to deal with Ivo, he naturally wanted to prevent Talper from tipping off the information.

"You can't catch him." Talper followed the guards calmly and left with a calm expression.

Beverly snorted and said to the other two marquises: "Without further delay, contact the army immediately."

"good."

…

Leon put down the communication badge, his eyes flashed, and he made up his mind.

Ivo is the nominal real leader of the garrison. He once joined the Unicorn Legion under Ivo's generous recommendation. However, Leon secretly infiltrated the legion and wanted to develop his own power. However, he was betrayed by the acting commander at the time. Upon discovery, he was directly dismissed from the garrison and became a captain of the city guard.

Leon has always been depressed, until today, he saw the hope of becoming famous again.

Without telling the commander-in-chief, Leon called all the city guard captains, explained the situation, and said: "If you don't gamble, your life will only be like this. If you try hard, the worst case scenario will be He was dismissed from the military for arbitrarily mobilizing the army, but he was given an opportunity to climb up the ranks!"

Dozens of city guard captains looked at each other with some hesitation. However, the captains who were secretly loyal to the Xili family began to perform and said excitedly, "You're right, we listen to you..."

"This time we did it!"

"We are here to capture prisoners. Even if we fail, we will not be held accountable."

Hearing this, the other hesitant team captains gritted their teeth and decided to seize this opportunity.

Under Leon's command, dozens of city guard squads, totaling 3,000 people, were sent out without permission to pursue the prisoners led by Barlow through the streets and alleys.

…

A hundred miles away from Harricon's defense line, the Unicorn Legion camped here to carry out investigation tasks. Because the task was easy, the soldiers were also very relaxed, and some officers even brought their families with them.

In the main tent, the acting army commander was having an affair with his wife.

Although it is called agency, due to Ivo's crimes, everyone knows that these two words will soon be replaced by "official".

After it was over, the acting army commander chatted with the blushing wife in his arms, with a satisfied look on his face. He was very satisfied with this distinguished lady from the Farui family. When he thought of the other party's identity, he was on the bed. Don’t feel a sense of conquest.

"My captain, my father just sent a message. Ivo appeared in the city and was causing trouble. The king fainted in anger. Aren't you going?" The wife asked with a flash of eyes.

The acting team leader was shocked, "Such a thing happened in the city?!"

"Yeah, if the garrison doesn't go back, it will definitely not be able to control the situation..." The wife followed Marquis Nilan's request and kept giving the acting commander a heads up.

The acting captain narrowed his eyes, looked at his wife thoughtfully, and his smile faded a little, "Since the king has not given the order, the garrison will not go back."

The wife was a little anxious, "But..."

"Okay, stop talking, I'm tired." The acting team leader covered himself with quilt and fell asleep.

The wife looked unwilling.

The acting captain in the bed had a sneer on his face, and said to himself: "The Farui family has some evil intentions. I managed to avoid Ivo, how could I go back? Anyway, the king has no order. The bigger the trouble Ivo makes, the better." , my position as leader is more stable.”

The acting head of the delegation knows very well the principle of being a courtier. It is better not to do unnecessary things than to do the right things.

…

In a tavern in New Laces City, a regular customer hurriedly ran into the tavern and shouted: "Lord Ivo is back!"

The people in the tavern stopped their discussion, looked surprised, and asked hurriedly.

The regular customer narrated that he was attracted by the sound of fighting and saw Ivo from a distance. He told the story again and the whole tavern was boiling.

"It's true, the city lord is back!"

"They are actually dealing with the heroes of the kingdom!"

"How despicable!"

The uproar in the tavern attracted many passers-by and citizens, who were filled with indignation after learning the details.

Someone slammed the wine table and shouted: "The kingdom was invaded a few years ago and we were displaced. It was Ivo who built the Harrican Defense Line and became a resting place in troubled times. Our survival is all because of Ivo." Each of us owes him Wo’s protection, and now he is in danger. How can we stand by and watch as the kingdom is slaughtered?”

"Yes, during the war, the royal family's attitude towards Ivo was considered good, but now, they want to kill Ivo, which is simply shameless!"

"I still remember the commotion at the investiture ceremony. The Holy Court came to capture Ivo. It was us who stood up and protected Lord Ivo. Today, like that day, it is our turn to stand up and let the royal family and nobles know that they No matter how hard they try to cover it up, they can never shake the truth. The kingdom cannot fall into crisis again because of their wrong decisions. We want the royal family to show the faith of the people!"

The people in the tavern were so excited that they rushed onto the street. This scene was played out in all corners of the city at the same time. The city guards who were supposed to maintain law and order were chasing the prisoners, and no one could stop these passionate citizens.

If the people's emotions are not checked, it will eventually turn into an avalanche of frenzy!

The citizens rushed to tell each other, and the momentum grew like a snowball. This is a city that belongs to the people. When the citizens unite, the entire city will have no secrets. They soon discovered Ivo's traces.

On a residential street, a middle-aged man holding a pipe in his mouth and enjoying the cool air at the door looked surprised when he saw a large number of people running past. He grabbed a citizen and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let me go. Ivo is really back. That's not a rumor. We are going to help him!"

The middle-aged man was slightly startled, silent for a while, then carefully put the old pipe into his arms, returned to the house, took off the sword hanging on the door panel that had accumulated a layer of dust for a long time, and hung it on the With his back on his back, he walked out of the house without looking back, muttering: "The lord is back, old guys, we don't have to suffer anymore."
