The Knight's Journey to the Empire

So Allen resisted the pressure coming from Kaedigoya, looked him in the eye and asked, "Excuse me, sir, who are you? What do you want to see my master for?"

When Kaedigoya saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Because he could see that Allen was in a state of extreme tension.

This situation is like facing a flood or a ferocious beast. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.

In this situation, most of the official knights would like to obey his orders and resolve the matter quickly, or pass on the blame and not bother him.

But Allen actually withstood the pressure and directly asked someone who was obviously several times stronger than him.

So I have to say that this kid's willpower is still very good.

But Kedigoya was only slightly surprised.

After all, Allen was just a stranger to him and not worthy of his excessive attention.

On the other hand, Allen felt the pressure increase sharply under the cold gaze of Kedigoya.

This caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead and his calves to tremble.

But he still held on, maintaining a respectful appearance, waiting for Kedigoya's reply.

Because "no matter how strong the opponent is, anyone with unknown identity cannot be easily allowed into the territory." This is the principle that Allen follows when guarding the outpost village checkpoint.

Even if it costs him his life, he will never retreat.

Fortunately, Kaedigoya did not embarrass Allen: "Just say that he is the son of the Marquis of Barbatos family, and your lord's former classmate when he was studying at the Donbass Knight Academy. Kzero is here to visit."

Upon hearing this, Allen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party did not make things difficult for him.

He knew that the Barbatos Marquisate was one of the three major marquisate families in the Kingdom of Midburg, and the family's territory was located in Cassel County in the south of Ganise County.

Allen also knew that his lord had studied at the Donbass Knight Academy. He had heard Deputy Captain Ramos talk about it.

So combining these two pieces of information, he knew that what the other party said was true and was not deceiving him.

Moreover, given the opponent's powerful strength, there is absolutely no reason for him to deceive himself.

After all, if the other party really wants to rush into the White Bear Territory, it would be impossible for us, who are just a few of us, to stop them.

So Allen's tone became more respectful: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will have someone inform you. I believe someone will come out to greet you soon."

Kedigoya nodded without commenting.

Then he turned his horse and headed towards the carriage where Kzerovinia was.

Allen immediately turned back to the checkpoint and ordered a knight from the White Bear Knights to ride as fast as he could to Flanders Town to report to the political officer, Lord Adam.

……

In fact, Allen could have easily shirked the responsibility by saying, "My lord is not in the territory now, he is in the city of Ganise."

After all, the other party is looking for their own lord, and since the lord is not in the territory, they naturally will not stay in the White Bear Territory for long.

But Allen didn't know the specific reason why the other party was looking for his lord, so he didn't rashly reveal the lord's location.

After all, what if the other party is here to seek revenge?

You know, there was news not long ago that someone was going to assassinate their own lord!

And Allen just happened to know that the political officer Adam had studied with the lord at the Donbass Knight Academy.

Then the lord’s classmate is naturally also Lord Adam’s classmate.

Therefore, it would be best to let Lord Adam receive the other party first and find out their purpose at the same time.

……

Kadigeya rode back to the side of Kzerovinia's carriage and reported to him, "Master, please wait a moment. They have sent someone to inform us! Someone should be out to greet us soon."

"Okay! Thank you Uncle Kadigoya for your help!" Kzerovinia said very politely.

At the same time, his beautiful face showed a bright smile that made people feel like spring breeze.

Although nominally, Kedigoya is a subordinate of Kzerovinia and needs to obey his orders and dispatches.

But strictly speaking, there are some differences.

First of all, Kaedigoya is loyal to the contemporary Marquis of Barbatos. He is an old man who has served the Marquis of Barbatos’ family for twenty to thirty years, so he can be said to be an elder of Kzerovinia.

Secondly, Kaedigoya himself is a powerful upper knight, and Xerovinia is only at the professional level of a brave knight, so he needs to maintain basic respect for the strong.

Finally, in his future escape, Kzerovinia will need to rely heavily on Kedigoya's strength and assistance.

Therefore, to sum up, it is necessary for Kzerovinia to maintain the utmost respect and flattery towards Kedigoya for both emotional and rational reasons.

Now, with the fall of the southern defense front, the destruction of the Kingdom of Midburg has almost become an inevitable reality.

Therefore, this also led to the hereditary nobles in the Kingdom of Midburg beginning to look for ways to escape and preserve their family bloodline and heritage.

The most popular retreat option is to prepare to migrate to the neighboring ally, the Principality of Glia.

After all, the road to the south has been basically cut off. If we retreat to the Principality of Glia, even in the end the Principality of Glia would be conquered.

Then they could also move further west and retreat into the territory of the Chaos Empire.

Therefore, including the Marquis Barbatos family, they all chose to use the Principality of Glia as a retreat.

So Kzerovinia made this trip, which was to escape to the Principality of Glia.

This time they took a detour through the White Bear Territory, only because Xerovinia wanted to take his "friend" Soran with him.

……

In the carriage where Kzerovinia was sitting, besides himself, there was also an old man with half-white hair and beard.

"Grandpa James, you must be tired after sitting in the carriage for so long. Do you want to get off and take a walk?" Kzerovinia asked with concern.

The old man named James had been resting his eyes, but when he heard what Kzerovinia said, he said kindly, "Good boy, if you want to go, go ahead! Take your sister and little Nia with you, and go out for some fresh air!"

"As for me, you don't have to worry about me! I'm not tired, I'll just wait for you in the car!"

"Okay, Grandpa James! I'll go down first then!" Kzerovinia grinned and said respectfully.

Then he bowed and jumped out of the carriage, and James watched him go with a kind smile on his face.

It is worth mentioning that although Kzerovinia calls James grandpa, there is actually no blood relationship between the two.

Even James' last name is not the last name [Barbatos].

In fact, James, like Cadigoya, was just a retainer loyal to the Marquis of Barbatos.

However, the difference is that James has not only been loyal to the Marquis of Barbatos family longer than Cedigoa, but is also stronger.

Because James is a top-notch warrior whose knight professional level has reached the Pillar State Knight professional level.

Moreover, he is not just an ordinary Pillar Knight, but a Pillar Knight who has comprehended the laws of nature to the highest level.

Such strength can be ranked among the best even in the northeastern part of the Knight Continent.

So now, he naturally becomes the most relied pillar of Kzerovinia.
