Alien Knights

The carriage heading for the royal city had not yet reached the city gate, and Todd, who was sitting in the carriage, could hear the noise coming from far ahead.

Cumberland's unique loud voice was the first to reach his ears: "This is a despicable murder! The Crusaders should be regarded as His Majesty's direct troops, but they have caused such a big scandal! This is all Because you are used to being arrogant!"

As the commander of the Crusaders, Ackerman argued rationally: "Grand Commander, no one wants to see what happened today, but it is indeed an accident."

Cumberland raised his voice: "What a bullshit accident! Then let me ask you, since the last attack, Jacqueline has been ordered not to leave the Crusader camp without permission. How did she sneak into the wedding venue? How? Pretending to be a maid?"

"I believe this was some oversight at work."

"Negligence?! You should know better than me. If someone hadn't been behind it, where would she have had the chance to sneak in?!"

Ackerman was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "This was an accident."

"Find a mirror and look at your face! Your expression right now is telling me that you don't even believe your own words!"

The voice of the Kingdom's Prime Minister Emerson rang out: "Stop talking about it. Now that this has happened, there is no benefit in blaming each other. How to deal with it is the key!"

Cumberland said angrily: "Randall has a knighthood. He participated in the battles of Lone Rock City and Holy Acropolis. He is a human hero known to the entire city! But his wife is now lying in the hospital with her life and death uncertain. This black man Pi Xiaozi actually told me it was an accident!"

Several Crusader Shamans of different species looked at each other, wanting to open their mouths to defend themselves, but they didn't know what to say.

The leader of the Valkyries, Evie, leaned against the city wall with her arms folded in front of her chest, watching the group of people quarreling there as if watching a play.

Finally, with a shout from the guard, the argument came to an end.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Todd's carriage slowly approached the gate of the royal city.

However, accompanied by the clatter of wheels rolling over stone slabs, the carriage had no intention of stopping.

Everyone watched the king's carriage pass by and enter the inner city.

The impatient Cumberland wanted to step forward, but found a valet trotting over and said to everyone: "Your Majesty has ordered that everyone go to the side hall and wait for a moment!"

Ackerman scratched his head: "Wait a moment?"

Emerson called to the attendant: "Does your Majesty have any other matters that need to be dealt with urgently?"

The latter shook his head and said: "I don't know, His Majesty just ordered everyone to wait."

Evie looked at everyone's confused look, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, turned around and walked into the inner city.

Walking into the king's audience room, Todd changed into casual clothes, sat on a chair, and began to flip through the reports and information on the table.

There was no knock on the door, and before the guard guarding the door had time to report, Evie opened the door and walked in.

Todd didn't even raise his head: "I've reminded you before, say something before you come in."

Evie snorted: "When you called me to the bedroom at night, I never heard you complain about this."

Todd smiled bitterly and shook his head, waving the guard to retreat.

Evie fell back on the sofa, grabbed the snake fruit on the silver plate with her right hand, rubbed it casually on her body, and bit it directly.

Todd asked while reviewing the documents: "Barbara's injury?"

"It's not good, it's not bad either."

"What's the meaning?"

"All Crusader soldiers have regenerative powers of varying degrees of strength, and elves are no exception. Unless there is a direct fatal injury to the head or heart, the Crusader soldiers will not die on the spot." Evie chewed. While chewing the pulp in his mouth, he said: "But the place where the dagger penetrated was a little bad. It injured part of the heart muscle."

"Myocardium?" Todd stopped the pen in his hand: "What did the doctor say?"

"Barbara will survive, but she won't be able to do any strenuous activities that damage her heart for the rest of her life."

"Can't do any strenuous activities that may damage the heart?"

"Huh? Daily operations are basically fine, but there is a problem..."

Todd sighed: "Procreation."

Evie nodded and said, "Yes, the doctor said that giving birth to a child will put a huge burden on the heart, make the wound on the heart serious, and may be life-threatening."

Todd closed his eyes: "So, the doctor suggested that they give up the unborn child."

Evie's expression was a little gloomy: "Besides, it is recommended not to get pregnant in the future."

"What did they say?"

"When I left, Randall had already learned the news, but Barbara was still in a coma. As for their decision, I don't know."

Todd stood up from the chair, looked out the window and said: "Give up the child..."

Evie whispered: "If it were me, I would never give up the child."

Todd shook his head and asked in a low voice: "What is the outside reaction to this matter?"

"Quarrels, conflicts, confusion."

"Tell me more details."

Evie put down the snake fruit and said slowly: "Jacqueline was caught by the Knights at the wedding scene and was imprisoned directly in the prison of the Knights' military camp. The shaman assembly was very dissatisfied with this matter and demanded that she be transferred to the Saint Go to the Jiajun’s prison.”

"The Knights not only rejected this request, but also publicly stated that they would thoroughly investigate the murder. They believe that someone must be assisting the murderer behind the scenes."

Todd asked again: "What is the attitude of the people?"

"Some of the human residents who attended the wedding have already protested to the Crusaders. They gathered and called on all humans to launch a march to protest this unfair treatment."

Todd nodded slightly.

Evie asked strangely: "Aren't you going to stop these people?"

Todd turned around and asked Evie, "What would you do if it were you?"

Evie raised her eyebrows: "The supreme god does not need restless believers. All those who cause trouble will be executed on the spot, and their souls will fall into the extremely cold hell forever."

Todd shook his head and said: "Doing this is equivalent to pouring a can of oil on the flames of hatred."

"So what should be done?"

Todd did not answer the question and asked Evie: "Have you found the person I asked you to find before?"

"He's in the hallway."

"Let him in."

Evie glanced at Todd, turned around and walked out.

A moment later, a middle-aged man followed the Valkyrie and entered the king's audience room.

The middle-aged man has a standard Slavic face, with a long skull, a high forehead, low cheekbones, thin lips, a slightly protruding chin, slightly white temples, and a tall but slightly fat figure.

Seeing this person, a rare warm smile appeared on Todd's face.

The excited middle-aged man rushed to Todd, knelt down on one knee and performed a standard audience ceremony.

Todd smiled and said: "Hudgens, you have gained weight and your hair is whiter than before..."
