When Brian woke up, the first thing that caught his attention was the white ceiling.
The sunlight shining through the window was somewhat bright, so he had to close his eyes slightly. Then when his eyes got used to the sunlight, he opened it again, only to find the scene in front of him unchanged .
Feeling it was not a dream, he thought, I .. am still alive? He tried to move his body, but soon realized that he could only raise his finger slightly. It seemed like the entire strength of his body had been lost.
Then he heard someone yell, "He's up! Go and tell Your Majesty!"
His majesty? Brian felt his brain was filled with pasta and his thought process was much slower than usual. What happens after I pass out? I can only remember that Viper pierced my chest and that I was dying, and in my last moments, he said, I can see a ghost woman who defeated all enemies in an extraordinary way ...
Shortly afterwards a servant came to help him stand up so that he could sit on the bed. Then another waiter came holding the basin and sat down next to him and immediately began to help him clean his face. Throughout his life Brian had never experienced such a comprehensive personal ministry, plus his servants were all young women, which made the situation very awkward.
Fortunately, the situation did not last long. As soon as the 4th Prince entered the room, everyone left.
Brian could feel the surging heat in his heart. He asked too many questions, but then, when he tried to open his mouth he did not know where to start. But contrary to what he expected, Roland nodded and said, "I've known all your achievements in the past, and Brian, you deserve the title of hero."
Hearing the word "Hero", Brian suddenly felt his eyes begin to glaze over . He started sobbing and his voice choked, "No ... Your Honor, my friend ... is real ..."
Roland patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
Just like Nightingale predicted. After Fierce Scar was dragged into the torture chamber, he began to tell her everything he knew even before the warden laid his hands on her.
The person behind this group was not his sister or any of his other siblings, but the Longsong Fortress Elk family. Count Elk contacted his distant relative Hiller Dmitry. After that, Fierce Scar controlled most of the city's patrols with the lure of rewards. In addition, he also sent an assassin to replace one of the members in the team to prevent accidents from happening during action . The purpose of this group of people was not to kill Roland as he thought, but rather they intended to burn the food reserves in order for him to obediently return to the fortress.
Their conspiracy resulted in the death of an innocent man - the Greyhound. He tried to stop Fierce Scar when he heard about his criminal intentions, but he was stabbed to death with a dagger by one of his own subordinates. The whereabouts of the patrol members replaced by Vipers is unknown. When he does not see the fire on the castle grounds and realizes that Fierce Scar failed to return, he may realize that his plan has been found and escaped ..
To help stabilize Brian's mood, Roland promised him, "Your friend Greyhound, he'll get a funeral ceremony for his sacrifice, and his family will be well cared for, they no longer need to worry about food in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Brian took a deep breath, "I must know. Fierce Scar .. is he dead?"
"No, he's alive."
Brian painfully closed his eyes. He would have preferred if they had not saved Fierce Scar so that he would be dragged to hell rather than the two of them staying alive. But now, the chance to fulfill his wish became slim ... There was no doubt that Fierce Scar was guilty, but sins committed by nobles could always be redeemed for money. As long as his uncle was willing to protect him, it was highly likely that Fierce Scar would not die. Most likely he doesn't even need to go to jail.
Brian was shocked, "But ... But Your Majesty, members of the nobility can get their freedom, this rule cannot be alluded to -"
Roland waved his hand in a disdainful manner, indicating that Brian should not concern himself with it, "He is a Noble? Perhaps for you, she was born in the Elk family branch family, so your status and her are as far away as heaven and earth . However, it was a fact that he did not have any title or land, so he could not be considered a noble. Moreover, even if he was a noble, to lead the invasion to the temporary royal residence of the prince and try to burn down the food supplies, ignoring the fate of the two thousand people in Border Town, he said, it brings enough guilt. By adding these three sins together, he could not be forgiven. "
By the time Roland ordered Tyre's death, he felt a bit of hesitation in his heart, but Fierce Scar belonged to the category that was completely unforgivable. If he succeeded, all of Roland's future plans for Border Town would be ruined, and he would never get the chance to turn things around. This was more hateful than a direct assassination attempt against Roland himself.
As for the possibility that his actions would disturb Longsong Stronghold? Who cares! Since the other party didn't want to cooperate with him, naturally he wouldn't compromise with them, they even tried to choose a fraudulent tactic to trap the entire population of Border Town . At the same time this incident also gave Roland a lesson - The political struggles of this world were different from what he had known from his previous world, there they will mostly concentrate on competing under the table, but here they are more likely to put aside and use a much bloodier method. “Rest well. You lost too much of your power, so don't leave the castle. I've arranged for someone else to take over your patrol work, and at the end of Devil's Month, I'll hold your canonization ceremony. "
"Your Majesty," after hearing the words 'canonization ceremony', Brian looked at the prince in disbelief, "You mean ..."
"Yes, you will be one of my knights, Mr. Brian," Roland replied with a smile.

"Prepare - stab!"
Van'er pierced the wooden puppet with a spear, and on both sides his team members also did the same, with the same power and also from almost the same angle.
This time, it had already become his hundredth stab.
He only had a tingling feeling left in his arms and he already thought that he would never survive this training. Despite the fact that he started to have these thoughts after the fiftieth stab, he still persisted. After one week of conditioning, it was already his natural reflex to obey every command given. To be honest, he himself was most surprised that he could still survive.
"All - rest!"
After Iron Axe shouted his orders, Van'er could suddenly hear a breathing sound from his surroundings. Van'er let in also exhaled a breath, then he put down the spear while sitting on the ground.
Now, he finally realized that their own militias were not responsible for becoming envoys of the guards or the knights . After one week of eccentric training, the training changed more to the portion of the battle. For example, now they stood on the city walls and brandished their spears according to the captain's orders - although these spears were replaced with wooden poles, anyone could imagine their role in the future.
The logistics team would never do such a drill, so this also meant that they would face the evil monsters on the wall. Naturally thinking of this, Van'er felt afraid. He even thought of sneaking away, but he did not know why, looking at his teammates around himself with the thought of three meals a day and a good salary slowly changed his mind.
