harmed the interests of the indigenous people. So over time, these refugees have become synonymous with unpopular people in the Empire. From then on, Since then, Cruzians have refused to admit these refugees.

What is happening now is obviously exactly this scene.

“Sister, what are they going to do?” The youngest of the Golan-Elson’s youngest of all, a little scared, asked.

“They will be treated as thieves and tramps, tied here on pillars to show publicity, and then driven back …”

The offspring of the several Eruin nobles had a somewhat awkward look on their faces.

“It’s a shame. The kingdom’s face made these pariahs a shame.” Efram couldn’t help but muttered indignantly: “No wonder the imperial nobles always show superiority in front of us.”

Everam wanted to say something more, but suddenly found that Brando was staring coldly at him, and quickly narrowed his neck, swallowing the second half of the sentence into the fat belly. The convoy of the ambassador continued to pass by the imperialist soldiers and refugees. Most of them said nothing when they shivered through the men, women, and children. Enid, the Duke of Viero, realized that The atmosphere in the team was a bit weird. The little loli from Golan-Elson’s family held her mother’s hand tightly, a little timid, and Aiko, who was behind Brando, was eager to try. It looks like he wants to help those refugees. He keeps looking at Brando’s direction, but he doesn’t get permission. The non-commissioned officer from Yanilasu followed behind him, rested his hand on the hilt hanging from his waist, his eyes only on those Imperial soldiers.

Qiyala stood on the sidelines. This little girl with a hugely incoordinated scholar hat stood next to Enid, looking at all this with a cold look beyond her age, but only occasionally revealed Express a sarcastic look at the people of Efram. As for Shire, Hipamila, and Metisha, each had their own ideas when they saw this scene, but they all stood behind Brando and waited for the order calmly; while Yuta looked at the refugees, only wrinkled gently. Frowning, she has seen so many scenes in this country.

Brando didn’t even look at the refugees. His eyes didn’t stop at the soldiers of the empire for a moment. He pursed his lips and led the convoy through the chaos with a cold face. The Imperial Knights passing by him seemed to be ignored by him as air. Although the people in the diplomatic corps have been together for nearly two weeks, they are still unfamiliar with the temper of the commander. They only know that he is a courtier around His Royal Highness, and they also have the same strength as the former Grand Prix of Antioch, Afram. Yeah, the Duke of Viero has a lot of money, and most of them are reminded before they travel, so that they try not to offend this Earl, who is bound to be powerful in the future, so Brando does n’t speak, and they dare not act. The team remained silent, only step by step near the towering gate of the Black Sword Barrier.

The ambassador quickly passed the caravans, and the detained refugees were already left behind. For a moment, only Ecco looked at the back reluctantly, and he frowned, his face unflinching. Concealed anxious look, as if he did not understand why his eternally revered, chivalrous Earl did not let him shoot, but Brando’s image in his heart had already reached a height beyond reach, the latter did not speak, he though My heart is like a cat scratching, but I can only stay in the team in peace. He looked back and found that the little Lolita of the Golan-Elsen family was turning back, and she looked at him with a crooked head, and her light brown eyes were full of incomprehensible look-it seemed that they did not understand why those people wanted She was arrested and she was only seven or eight years old. The noble world was too far away from her.

The scouts in front of the ambassador had already informed the Cruzians, so at this time the Cruzians also knew the origin of the aristocratic team, and the team slowly reached the black sword barrier city before Brando raised his hand to stop everyone. Not long after the team stopped, three Cruz knights came to them in front of the traveling dragons. The headed knight wore a silver-gray ceremonial breastplate, and the breastplate was covered with bright medals. Brando looked The color of his straps and long mane on his helmet made him realize that this man was a knight-chief-and behind him, the daughter of Archduke Viero had changed his face slightly, following the normal etiquette of the Temple of Fire and its subordinate countries, For the official envoys of their kind, the empire should at least verify their identities with the deputy of the Supreme Chief personally, and welcome them into the city. The Cruzs now send a knight to replace him, which is already naked and arrogant.

This is not the first time this happened. As early as three years ago, Cruz’s envoy went to the empire to meet the emperor and Asa New Year, and he was treated as such. Or even earlier, long before the frost years, the kingdom’s envoys seemed to have become accustomed to such lightness. It was just that when the duke Qianjin read these contents from literature and history, she only felt that Eruin had a weak national strength, and it was only natural for a behemoth like the Empire to be superior to him, but now it was her turn to experience the cruelty of the Cruzs herself. When I was still in my heart, I could not help but anger.

But she did not speak sensibly.

Others in the team were more or less aware that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong, but with the exception of Chiara and Shire, others had limited knowledge of the diplomatic process and could only wait silently for Brando to make a decision. Brando had expected it this way, and he patted Evram, who was still ignorant, on the shoulder and asked the meatball to submit paperwork. Then the latter responded, and quickly took out the paperwork and the seal, and respectfully came to the Cruz knights and put his hands up.

He was already very humble, and even the officer behind Ai Ke looked a little bit dissatisfied, but the Cruz Knight did not appreciate it. He took the paper impatiently, took a look, and then threw it back to Ai Fram’s hand. These light movements made even the most ignorant Afram react—the instrument in his hand is solemn and can be regarded as the Eleus’s national script. If the other party is an empire The Marquis of the Border, then even if he throws the national script back to his face, he dare not say a few words, but the other party is just a little knight captain, strictly speaking, it is not a true nobleman-he can’t help it Some looked at each other with a stunned expression, wondering where the other side’s confidence came from.

But the Cruz knight saw him as nothing, and he looked at the meatball in disgust and waved his hand: “Come with me.”

Efram stood there without daring to move. He subconsciously turned back to see Brando. This was no longer the etiquette that the empire greeted the other nations under the Temple of Fire, or no etiquette at all. He is as stupid as he understands that if he makes a good claim, today he will be accused of diplomatic misconduct. But the meatball discovered with tears and tears, as if Brando hadn’t seen him, he stood motionless.

In desperation, he had to tremble and say to the Cruz knight: “Master, this … does not seem to conform to the rules?”

He hoped that it was Cruz ’s negligence and forgotten diplomatic etiquette, but to his disappointment, the knight glanced at him indifferently: “It is a time of war, we cannot open the door of the knight. Welcome you, if you are not satisfied, you can choose to detour or return to the same way. “

(Note: Knight’s Gate, the name given by the Duke of Sempri to the fortress’s main entrance, in honor of the Cruz soldier who died at the fortress.)

Return the same way?

Everam was sweating all over his head. Now he can truly see the eyes of the Cruzians. He used to take this for granted. The world is proud of its strength. Cruz ’s fists are big and hard. Attitude is also tolerable. But when he enjoyed this arrogance himself, he realized how hateful this arrogance was, and if he could, he could not wait to punch him in the face of the guy in front of him, and then throw a punch back in the **** Count Tonigel’s face.

Of course,
