I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

The Lionheart Duke ordered several knights to continue exploring the south. Not long after, several of the knights returned to report the reconnaissance situation: "Sir, there are city walls and towers ahead. After we encountered an attack from archers, we temporarily retreated."

"Archers attack?" Zhang Wei frowned slightly. "Did you see the faces of those who attacked you?"

The knight glanced at Zhang Wei and replied nonchalantly: "No, we came back when we were attacked. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Zhang Wei felt that the knights of Lionheart Castle were quite disrespectful to him. He jumped on his horse and said to the Duke of Lionheart, "Your Excellency is a good leader of soldiers. They came back without knowing anything. It is not easy for Lionheart Castle to be preserved until now. No wonder even such an important facility as the teleportation array could be destroyed."

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he rode his horse south.

The Duke of Lionheart didn't say anything, so Zhang Wei gave him enough face along the way.

However, a kind person is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden. The more Zhang Wei showed weakness, the more the Lionheart Duke indulged his men to test Zhang Wei's bottom line.

Now that Zhang Wei has exploded, the Duke of Lionheart is also satisfied.

After riding for a few minutes, Zhang Wei arrived at the city wall that the knights mentioned. He originally thought that it was just a wooden wall at most, but when he saw the ten-meter-high stone wall and the even higher stone tower, he was stunned.

Suddenly, a dozen humans emerged from the parapet and shot arrows at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei, who had been prepared, used a magic shield to block the arrow. When he saw that it was a human, he shouted, "Brothers, I am one of you. I am also an adventurer and an inspector of the kingdom!"

The reason why Zhang Wei said this is because he didn't understand why there would be a human stone stronghold here, so he wanted to use his identity as an adventurer and kingdom official to enter the stronghold and investigate the current situation of Huai'en Town.

As a result, before Zhang Wei could finish his words, people started shooting at him again, and some magicians even started chanting attacking magic spells.

Seeing that he could not communicate, Zhang Wei could only use magic to take away a few arrows and go back north to find the Duke of Lionheart.

When Zhang Wei returned to the team, even though some knights saw that Zhang Wei was in a rather embarrassing situation, they did not mock Zhang Wei or test his bottom line.

"There are human arrows, some are military standard, and some are adventurers' arrows." After checking the arrows he brought back, Zhang Wei handed them to the Duke of Lionheart.

"Unable to communicate?" asked the Duke of Lionheart while checking the arrows.

"I can't help it. I said I was an adventurer and an official of the kingdom, but even magicians came out to attack me."

"Could it be a stress reaction due to excessive fright?" Duke Lionheart handed the arrow in his hand to the knight beside him.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Zhang Wei dismounted, making it clear that he would not get into trouble again.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Give them some time to rest." Duke Lionheart ordered to find a suitable place to spend the night.

That night, when everyone was most tired, Zhang Wei and his men were attacked by the enemy. However, the enemies who attacked them could not break the knights' defense, and apart from causing a riot, no actual casualties were caused.

However, because the enemy was still fireproof, and the enemy's wind magician took advantage of the lack of wind to launch a fire attack on Zhang Wei and his team.

Faced with the raging fire, Zhang Wei and his companions had no choice but to give up counterattacking and had to flee northward in a panic. The enemy drove them all the way out of the forest before stopping their pursuit.

"Fuck it." Zhang Wei couldn't help but start cursing.

The reason why he didn't take action before and just now was because he couldn't figure out the origins of these humans. Were they the remaining human survivors in Huai'en Town, or were they human traitors who were recruited into the team by Zhang Xiaodan and her team using some method?

If it was the latter, he would be harming his own interests if he acted rashly. The reason why Zhang Wei was more inclined to the latter was that he did not think that the human survivors had the ability to build such a tall stone wall and stone sentry towers on the wall.

Zhang Wei's cursing also caused some knights who felt aggrieved to start cursing as well. The Duke of Lionheart did not say anything to stop them, but let his men vent their anger.

"My lord, what do you think?" Duke Lionheart rarely addressed Zhang Wei as Lord.

"I suggest that we go to the town of Bourne to see what's going on. The appearance of the city wall is too strange. According to the laws of the kingdom, building city walls in baronies and viscounties is considered treason." Zhang Wei suggested going to the town of Bourne to see the situation.

"We can also go west to Newt City. If there is a rebellion in the kingdom, I think at least the possibility of being instigated and captured there is lower." Duke Lionheart proposed marching westward.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Wei looked at the Duke of Lionheart in surprise, and said, "This line is your territory after all. If I remember correctly, Newt City is on the side of the Duke of White Tiger. If you think something has happened inside the kingdom, aren't we walking into a trap if we go to Newt City now?"

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Duke Lionheart smiled and said, "It is precisely because that place is close to Duke White Tiger that we have to go there to investigate. If there really is someone who is capable of inciting rebellion in my territory to attack me, I think the real culprit behind it will definitely not expose himself in other ways."

Zhang Wei didn't insist when he heard what the Lionheart Duke said. The sudden appearance of the city wall and human enemy troops in the town of Huai'en was indeed too confusing. At this time, the risk of going to the town of Bourne was indeed much higher than going to Newt City.

Many days later, Zhang Wei, Duke Lionheart and others arrived in Newt City.

Although Newt City was calm and the city gates were open as usual, the officer on duty did not dare to let Zhang Wei and others into the city, but quickly reported to the city lord.

Not long after, the city lord led his troops out to inquire about the purpose of the Duke of Lionheart's visit.

The reason why the city lord reacted so strongly was mainly because of the knights led by the Duke of Lionheart. Although their number was small, the knights were of high combat power after all. These knights led by the Duke of Lionheart were enough to make the city lord feel the actual defensive pressure.

The Lionheart Duke explained his purpose to the city lord, but the city lord asked the Lionheart Duke why he did not go east to the town of Bourne. After all, that was also the noble territory of the Lionheart Duke's line, and Newt City had nothing to do with the Lionheart Duke.

"My lord, do you not trust us? Or are you deliberately making things difficult for us?" Zhang Wei saw that the Lionheart Duke was unable to deal with the mayor of Newt City. He was a little tired and did not want to rush eastward to the town of Bourne again just because he was turned away, so he stepped forward.

"Are you Lord Zhang Wei?" When the city lord saw Zhang Wei coming out, he asked about Zhang Wei's identity out of caution.

"That's right." Zhang Wei took out the token of the Northern Inspector.

"Please come in, sir." The city lord invited Zhang Wei into the city, but stopped the Duke of Lionheart and other knights who wanted to follow Zhang Wei into the city.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Wei looked at the city lord with some dissatisfaction and asked, "Do you think I will collude with the Duke of Lionheart to attack here?"

"Your Excellency is joking. It is my duty and I have no choice. If Lord Lionheart and his army really want to enter the city, I have to report to each higher level and only after approval can I let them in." The city lord was neither humble nor arrogant, but just stopped Lord Lionheart from entering.

Duke Lionheart sighed and said, "Let's go to the town of Bourne instead. Master Zhang Wei can go into the city to rest."

After Duke Lionheart finished speaking, he turned his horse and rode eastward, followed closely by the other knights.

Zhang Wei wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the city lord.

"Master Zhang Wei, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart. Please bear with me."

Zhang Wei looked at the Duke of Lionheart who was walking away, and then looked at the city lord who was holding his reins. Since they were on someone else's territory, Zhang Wei still had to give face to the city lord.

Zhang Wei dismounted from his horse and signaled the city lord that he could speak.

"Please move aside, sir." The city lord handed the reins to his men and asked Zhang Wei to walk a few steps to a deserted place nearby.

"You go ahead." Zhang Wei said.

"Your Excellency, please allow me to report. I would never dare to offend you unless it is absolutely necessary. However, some time ago, the northern border of the kingdom was attacked by monsters on a large scale. Dozens of people were killed and injured in Xinna Port. His Majesty the King was furious. This was when the city walls were used for defense. The situation in Huai'en Town, Bourne Town, Jinhou Town and their affiliated villages may be even worse."

"So what?" Zhang Wei was puzzled. What did this have to do with not allowing him to pursue the Duke of Lionheart?

"Sir, a nobleman asked me to bring you a message. Xinna Port can go north or west, but as the inspector of the north, you have never been to Newt City, Sahel City, Corno Fortress and Naville City in the north. You just informed Duke Lionheart to go to the capital to meet His Majesty, and you don't need to escort him all the way. On the contrary, if you don't inspect these cities, someone might take the opportunity to make slander and make things difficult for you."

Zhang Wei looked at the city lord's flattering smile, and he suddenly realized that perhaps there was a third source of those human enemies, and that was the people of the White Tiger Duke...

Zhang Wei received a warm welcome and hospitality in Newt City and Sahel City, but was turned away at Corno Fortress.

The officers of the fortress relied on the fact that they were directly under the king and refused Zhang Wei entry. They even insulted Zhang Wei for not fulfilling his duties as an inspector of the north and instead accepting bribes in Newt City and Sahel City.

The reason the officers insulted Zhang Wei was Zhang Wei's huge convoy and the armed escorts.

Zhang Wei did not argue with him, but ordered the team to continue heading south to their final destination, Naville City.

In the city of Naville, the king's herald conveyed the king's order, and the king asked Zhang Wei to go to Xina Port to investigate the previous incident of monsters entering the city.

Zhang Wei asked the messenger to bring back to the capital the gifts that the local nobles presented to the king and the royal family.

The herald readily agreed, and as a result, the herald took away all the convoys and the armed escorts. Yes, Zhang Wei deliberately swaggered through the city to provoke those who might attack him. When the enemy jumped out of the darkness, they would no longer be scary.

The chief officer of Xinna Port committed suicide at home the day before Zhang Wei arrived at Xinna Port...
