Fun people from Blue Star

The city of Hukaro is not too far from the city of Boris.

Even with the army and dozens of donkey carts for freight, the speed was relatively slow. After walking for a whole day, they reached their destination in the evening.

Unlike the towering and tall city walls of Boris, the walls of Hukaro City are much smaller.

The walls of Boris were built of stone.

Hukaro's city walls are made of mud bricks, and are only a little over five meters high, which is a little higher than Hardy's height after he transformed into the Nightmare Knight.

Hardy estimated that his nightmare form could jump over this wall if he used a lightening technique.

As the sun sets, the city is shrouded in orange light and looks very warm.

At the city gate, merchants and caravans and civilians came and went, and there was a slight harmony.

There is no dedicated military passage in this city, so you have to squeeze into the same gate as ordinary people.

Just when he got closer, the civilians all ducked aside.

The passage to the city gate was empty.

There is no other way. Anyone who sees more than a hundred soldiers and cavalry approaching them will subconsciously retreat.

But when the guards guarding the gate saw the troops coming, they subconsciously closed the gate.

Rogge ran forward first and shouted: "The new owner of Hukaro City, Viscount Hardy, has come to take office. Why don't you open the city gate quickly to welcome him?"

The team leader responsible for guarding the city gate looked at the more than two hundred troops below and swallowed his saliva.

Now there were only a hundred or so guards in Hukaro City. He looked down at the angel flags held by Hadi and others, and then at the more than a hundred cavalry covered in silver armor, and felt cold sweat on his head.

He already knew that the people below were probably genuine, but he still shouted: "Please wait a moment, I need to ask His Excellency Eiffel for instructions to verify your identity."

Rogge didn't think anything of it. In his opinion, it was normal to verify his identity.

But when he returned to Hardy's side, he found that his master was smiling strangely.

"Master, is there any problem?"

"When I was chatting with Madam Sissi, I learned something. Ever is supposed to be Madam Sissi's housekeeper when she was a girl."

Hukaro City was originally the fiefdom of Madam Sissi. She spent her time here from the age of eleven to her marriage at the age of fifteen.

Rogge came to his senses: "What does the master mean that the Eiffel steward has become Hukaro's de facto master?"

"Probably." Hardy nodded: "Otherwise, I can't understand why the defenders actually asked a steward for instructions."

Rogge immediately became angry: "How dare a mere civilian do this..."

He couldn't find any adjectives.

Hardy shook his head indifferently: "It's probably because the Jeanna family hasn't taken care of this place. At most, they just paid the tax money and left it alone."

"Master, do you want us to prepare to attack the city?" Rogge smiled sadly.

Thanks to Hadi's behavior of throwing away money, his soldiers are now not afraid of fighting at all.

He even longed for a war.

If you win, you will get a lot of money, and if you die, your family will be protected, but you are afraid of a ball.

"Hey, I ordered the siege formation." Hadi rode back a little further, out of the shooting range of the opponent's archers.

Hardy believes that it is necessary to be prepared.

He is not afraid of offending the other party. He is the legitimate lord of Hukaro City, and whatever he does is right.

But if the other party really dares to have some evil intentions, going in directly would be the right choice.

After the order was issued, both the infantry and the cavalry set up their positions.

The captain on the city wall was so frightened that he trembled.

But even so, he still didn't let anyone open the city gate.

Hardy sat on the horse, looking at Hukaro City in the distance, and sighed: "I thought I could take over smoothly, but in the end something has to happen?"

A silver-armored cavalry walked up to Hardy's side. The knight on the horse opened his mask and revealed his face. It was the knight Malok.

He looked at Hardy and asked: "Your Majesty the Viscount, we don't have siege equipment. It's a bit difficult to forcefully open the city gate."

"It's okay. This city gate is made of wood. I'll break it open later."

Listening to Hardy's understatement, Malok swallowed subconsciously and then stepped back.

He thought of Hardy's Nightmare Knight form. It was really easy for such a giant monster to break open a broken wooden city gate.

After waiting for a long time, the sky was about to darken completely, and when Hardy was about to transform into the Nightmare Knight and charge, the Eiffel housekeeper finally appeared on the city wall.

When he came up, he still looked unconcerned: "Isn't it just the viscount? No need to make a fuss, our Jeanne family..."

Then he saw the army in battle formation under the city wall.

All of a sudden, he was so frightened that he was covered in sweat, and at the same time he shouted hurriedly: "Quick, quick, quick, open the city gate."

"Don't you need to test it?"

"It's a ghost test. If you dare to say that you want to test yourself, the other party will come in."

The city gate opened quickly, and Rogge led the infantry in first.

Hardy and the logistics troops followed, with the cavalry taking the rear.

When Hadi entered the city, he saw an old man kneeling on the roadside.

This old man was dressed quite luxuriously. Not only were his clothes good, but they were also of good quality.

Hardy sat on the horse and looked down at him: "Are you Ever?"

"Dear Viscount, yes."

"I heard Mrs. Sissi tell you that you are a very honest and reliable person."

Ever's expression paused for a moment, then he smiled and said: "I haven't seen Miss Sissi for a long time and miss her very much."

"You can go to the Jeanne Manor in Boris City to find her and continue to serve her."

"I'm old, clumsy, and my brain is not flexible. It's easy to make mistakes when I do things now, so I won't trouble Miss Sissi."

The other party was respectful and answered all questions, but Hardy could still hear the dissatisfaction from the other party's tone.

"Since you are old, just retire. I have my own housekeeper. You can take good care of yourself in your old age."

Ever paused, raised his head, and was about to speak out in anger, but then he saw Hardy's face that looked like a smile but not a smile.

He was handsome, but his eyes were cold.

Ever shook his body, immediately lowered his head, and said in despair: "Yes, Your Excellency the Viscount."

Hardy stopped looking at him and rode away.

After walking for a while, Cavalry Malok approached and asked softly: "Sir Hardy, won't you give that old man enough severance pay?"

Because Hardy has always given people the impression that he is very considerate and caring for his subordinates.

This kind of direct firing does not seem to fit with Hardy's image.

But he believed Hardy wouldn't mess around for no reason.

Hardy smiled and said: "It seems that your previous life was quite miserable."

Malok didn't understand even more. What does this have to do with him?

Hardy explained: "The clothes he is wearing are almost the same price as your armor and horse armor combined. Are you still worried about him starving to death?"

Malok's eyes widened.
