The northern dawn of late autumn was always fascinating, but our lord was still immersed in his own comfortable nest! Helen and Avril snuggled against his firm chest with deep satisfaction. Even if Ximen Yu was given a mountain of gold, he wouldn't trade it for such beauty and tranquility!
Perhaps tranquility existed to be broken!
A guard knocked on the door." My lord, we'll be here soon. Do you want to receive them?"”
After a long time, a lazy voice came from the room,""Get someone to close the city gate. All the soldiers retreat to a place where they can't be seen. Open it at noon. Remember, no one is allowed to open the gate!”The owner of this voice was none other than Rogue Overlord Ximen Yu!
The guards 'footsteps gradually faded away. Ximen Yu looked at the two delicate beauties on the bed with a lecherous look. Suddenly, he pounced on the two girls like a hungry tiger on fire, biting them everywhere! How could the two women tolerate such harassment from their lover? They immediately started to cry out!
After a while, a faint panting sound came from the room.
Archbishop Saipan led the Church Knights to the outskirts of Loulan City!
Logically speaking, the city gates should be opened on time in the early morning. Furthermore, he had already sent a letter to the lord here. Why was the city gates of Loulan City still tightly closed at this time? There was not even a single guard on duty. This made the Arch-Cardinal furious!
Although he was only a red-robed bishop, he was respected wherever he went on the continent. Even in the Orc Empire, he would not be neglected! But today, he had come to a small Loulan City, and he had actually been rejected! This made Saipan's expression extremely ugly!
Sitting in the car, Saint Alice asked softly,""Archbishop Saipan, why don't you enter the city? Aren't we in Loulan?"
Saipan said respectfully," Saintess, we have indeed arrived at Loulan City, but the city gate has not opened yet. I think the city gate will open soon. Then, we can enter the city!"”
It was a white figure riding a horse from the city gate. Saipan took a closer look and saw that it was a knight he had sent to report. However, when he saw the depressed expression on the messenger's face, he suddenly realized that the messenger had not entered at all. However, he still suppressed his anger and asked in a dignified manner,"What happened? Didn't I ask you to send a letter to that overlord? Why hadn't the city gates been opened yet?”
The knight bowed and replied,""Reporting to Lord Bishop, when I arrived here, the city gates were closed, but there were still guards. I told them about the plan and they asked me to wait for a while. However, after a while, all the soldiers on the city gates suddenly withdrew from the city gates. No matter how I shouted, they did not come out!”
Saipan's expression was extremely ugly. This was blatant contempt for the Church's authority. Since he had already told the soldiers guarding the city, then Ximen Yu would definitely know! It must have been his idea to withdraw the soldiers!
Alice stepped out of the carriage. Her white magic robe accentuated the holiness that a saintess should have. There was a golden cross embroidered on her left shoulder. A thick Bible was held in her arms by a pair of slender hands that were as white as jade! She was wearing a flawless white veil on her face, making it impossible for others to see the Holy Maiden's appearance!
Alice walked to the side of the red-robed bishop, looked at the exhausted knight, and said,""It's okay. Go and rest first! I think the city gate will open in a while. Bishop Saipan, let's just wait!”
Hearing the Saint's words, the red-robed bishop could not say anything. He could only wait patiently with the Saint!
When the sun shone on the earth, the city had already become lively! The peddlers 'cries rose and fell, and the slogan of the army's march could be heard clearly from miles away. However, the city gates of Loulan were still tightly shut, with no intention of opening them!
The church knights who had rushed over were already thirsty and thirsty, and the heavy armor on their bodies had long become unbearably heavy! Saipan was pacing back and forth in front of the city gate angrily, but Alice, who was far away, seemed relatively calm!
"This is contempt! Naked contempt! Why isn't the city gate open yet? Could it be that Ximen Yu really doesn't put our Church in his eyes? "Hmph," Saipan's exasperated face was really fascinating!
More than two hundred church knights were extremely furious. They had never been treated like this before. Each of them had a ferocious expression on their faces as if they wanted to smash open the gates of Loulan City! However, the Holy Maiden's words calmed their anger a little!
"As a knight of the church, you should learn to forgive. No matter what happens, you must face it with a kind heart.”Alice's voice wasn't loud, but every word was deeply embedded in the hearts of the church knights. Even the angry Symbian was ashamed!
At this moment, a group of soldiers wearing the Empire's standard battle armor slowly walked over from afar with solemn steps. On a blood-red flag, the two words 'Lou Lan' were written in a flamboyant manner! The leader was Lou Lan's sheriff, Lao Lun! Seeing the knight of the Church of Light in front of him, he was surprised. However, Lauren was not a warrior who only knew how to fight and kill. Looking at the tightly shut gate of Loulan City, he suddenly understood something, so he asked indifferently,"Why have you come to my Lou Lan?”
Saipan, who was already impatient, said coldly,"We arrived at Loulan City in the morning. Why haven't you opened the city gates? Aren't you looking down on the Church of Light?”
Lauren glanced at Saipan and said,""Esteemed Cardinal, I think there might be some misunderstanding here. We, Lou Lan, have never looked down on the Church of Light. I don't think that anyone on the continent would dare to look down on the Church of Light. However, if the Cardinal insists on imposing this crime on us, it might not be unreasonable, right?”At this moment, Lauren was not cowardly at all. He just looked at Saipan coldly!
"Good, good, good! Humph, looking down on the Church of Light is absolutely unforgivable! I will now represent God to purify you villains. Brave knights, pick up your swords. The honor of the church is yours to protect!”Saipan waved his hand, and all the church knights gathered together and prepared to attack!
Lauren looked at the knights of the church and sneered,""Since the archbishop is like this, does he really think that our Lou Lan is easy to bully? Hmph, line up!" Lauren shouted, and the soldiers behind him began to move! The three-layered tower shield was heavily stabbed into the ground, and the spear was placed on the heavy shield with a swoosh! The standard formation was completed quickly, and every soldier's face was exuding a unique calmness! The church knights who were still gathering in the distance were stunned!
Alice's expression turned cold when she saw the tense situation. Her entire body emitted a holy aura."Don't do anything. We're here to preach, not to fight. Besides, they're probably Loulan City's soldiers!”Then Alice turned to Lauren and nodded.""General, I'm the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light. My name is Alice. Can I trouble you to bring us into the city? We want to see your lord!”
Lauren looked at Alice in surprise and said,""You are the fourth princess of the Kaiser Empire, the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light, Her Highness Alice?”
Alice nodded. Because of the veil, Lauren couldn't see Alice's expression!
Although Lauren was surprised, he still said respectfully,""Saintess, I'm just an ordinary officer. Since the city gate hasn't been opened, even I can't get in for so long. You have to know that my soldiers have just returned from patrolling the border. I'm sorry, Saintess.”
Alice smiled slightly." If that's the case, then forget it. Please allow us to wait with your warriors. I don't think the city gate will be closed forever!" Besides, it was their honor to be with a warrior!”
Lauren looked at this seemingly gentle Saintess and felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. She clearly wanted to cling to us, but she still said it so pompously! Although he was unhappy, his reputation showed."Of course, Saintess. It's our honor to be able to wait with you!”Then, he waved his hand at the soldiers behind him. With the permission of the general, all the soldiers put away their spears, but they still looked at the Church Knights with unfriendly expressions on their faces.
Squeak, squeak, squeak. Lou Lan's city gate finally opened slowly!
After opening it, what surprised the red-robed bishop was that there was no grand welcoming team in the city, and no officials came forward to talk to them. Only a burly civilian walked out with a broom and swept the already clean pathway!
Looking at everything in front of him, Saipan was instantly furious. Without caring about his image, he went forward and grabbed a civilian who was cleaning and shouted,"Why did the city gates only open now! Don't you know about the arrival of the Church of Light?”
Ping Ming said innocently,""I'm sorry, my lord. I'm just a servant cleaning the city gates. I don't know anything! I heard that there was a pile of trash outside the city, so I came to clean it up!”
All the knights of the church could not believe their eyes. How could the usually humble bishop lose his composure today! Lauren almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene! The person sweeping the road was none other than his boss, Cameron!
The Cardinal looked at Cameron's confused face and immediately felt that he had lost his composure. He quickly let go and tidied up his makeup. He turned to Alice and said,"Saintess, since the city gate is open, I think we can enter the city!”
Alice nodded and got into the carriage. She then instructed the knights to escort them into Loulan City. Lauren followed behind and asked Cameron,""What's going on? You're the regiment commander of Wolf Fang. Why are you out here sweeping the road? Don't tell me you're here to do volunteer work. I know you're not that bored!”
Cameron chuckled." This is the general's intention. I'm just a temporary guest!" By the way, these few days, hand over the patrolling task to your subordinates. The training of the recruits must be intensified! You have to take care of the security in the city!”Lauren nodded and returned to the military camp with Cameron!
