When the queen heard Lann's words, she immediately frowned and said with a fake smile: "Then Ciri doesn't have to marry the prince of Weiden, right?"

The atmosphere is not right? Lan was stunned by the queen's change, and replied subconsciously: "Yes, and I think Ciri herself is not very willing..."

The queen slapped the chair and stood up: "That's enough, Lan. Maybe my tolerance towards you has caused you to misunderstand and give rise to thoughts that you shouldn't have. Don't think about things that you shouldn't think about!"

Hey, why do you turn against me so quickly?

Wait, what do you mean by these words? What do you mean by things you shouldn't think about?

Lann was kicked out of the reception room before he could react. Didn't he just offer advice and suggestions to save Cintra? What a loyal minister.

The guards outside the door looked straight ahead. It was true that the queen often got angry, but she was always kind to Lann. It was rare for her to get as angry as she did today.

Lan En looked around awkwardly and asked a familiar guard beside him: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ciri for a long time. Where is she recently?"

The guards looked straight ahead.

Lan En was puzzled. What happened today? These people were not usually like this.

The door to the reception room opened again, and the castle's butler walked out.

"Princess Xi Ruila is learning court etiquette. She won't be able to see guests for a while until the maids agree." The housekeeper said slowly, looking Lan En up and down with an inexplicable expression, "Her Majesty the Queen asked me to take you to hand over the city guards."

"Please follow me, Lord Lannister."

Lann heard the steward put a deliberate emphasis on the name "Lannister".

Cintra is one of the most powerful countries in the entire Northern Kingdom and one of the few countries with a large standing army. It is unlike some small countries that have to hire a large number of mercenaries when going to war.

In terms of city defense, the capital of Cintra has a standing 2,000-man city defense force. Lan followed the royal butler and quickly arrived at the city defense camp. Since it was daytime, there were not many soldiers undergoing daily training. Most of the city defense soldiers had daily patrols or other tasks.

The royal butler left when he brought Lann in. It was obvious that he didn't like the environment of the military camp. While Lann was watching the training, a deep laugh came:

"Hahaha! Lan, our new tournament champion! Welcome to join our city defense force!"

Turning around, he saw a tall knight with a scar on his face walking towards him with his arms open, and giving him a bear hug without any explanation.

The hand is very strong, it's a **. And the armor is very painful.

"That last fight was a great one. You chopped Vidonni so hard that his sword flew off his chest!"

"That was a tough battle." Lann said with a smile, his tone was not without kindness, "Long time no see, Uncle Carl."

People like Lann, who were parachuted into the army with a title and had no military merits, were easily excluded. However, Lann's situation was special. Not to mention that he had won the tournament championship and became the nominal "first swordsman" of Cintra.

He is also a royal aristocrat and the second generation of the Canadian military!

Sir Carl patted Lann's shoulder vigorously and looked at his body:

"You have not brought shame upon your father. You are as handsome as he was in his youth, and as heroic as he is now. If I were not unaccustomed to it, I would have almost called you Lannister just now."

The "Lannister" here does not refer to his surname, but the name of his father. They use the name of the founder of the family as their surname.

"I really miss the days when I fought alongside your father." Sir Carl said with some sadness, but he quickly calmed down.

"What do you want to do in the city defense army? It's a pity that you are too young, otherwise I can directly promote you to deputy commander!"

"I can't do it even if you give it to me. I know nothing about command." Lan En said distressedly, "I originally wanted my aunt to allow me to go to the battlefield to train myself and start as a low-level officer."

"That's definitely not possible. Do you want the Lannisters to perish?" Ser Carl shouted. "How about this, we recently recruited a hundred new soldiers. They have not been trained for two months. How about you be their captain? Whether you want to use them for training, or take them out for patrols, it's up to you."

"New soldiers are better. I'm afraid that if I start rashly, it will disrupt the daily arrangements for the city's defense."

Lann thanked him with a smile. Did he really think he wanted to come here to defend the city?

Lann quickly went to count his men. It was indeed a bit too much to take all 100 people out at once, so Lann left half of them to continue their daily training and led 50 people into the street in a mighty manner.

After all, it's just a patrol, not a fight.

In front of the Three Crows Tavern.

The deputy captain of the centurion team stepped forward boldly and asked, "Lord Lannister, has this tavern offended you in any way? Shall we kick the door open now?"

"No, this is where we're going to drink tonight. I plan to invite the brothers to have a drink here tonight." Lann looked at the bulletin board in front of the tavern.

The deputy captain's eyes lit up. This earl seemed quite generous.

"But before that...ha, got it." Lan's eyes lit up and he reached out to take down a notice.

Generally speaking, public security issues in cities are solved by specialized law enforcement forces. However, due to the limitations of the technology and ideological atmosphere of the time, there are many unsolved cases and wrongful convictions, and soldiers often even ignore them.

Therefore, there are unofficial notice boards in the city center, squares, and taverns, where help seekers will post notices seeking help, hoping to get help from mercenaries or other people who want to do odd jobs. This situation is especially common in villages and towns.

The system prompt sounded at this time:

[Discovery Mission - Arsonist:

The blacksmith shop of Old Wei, a blacksmith in the east city, caught fire, but he felt that someone must be jealous of his recent booming business and was behind it. Whether his suspicion was true or not, he needed a little help now.

Accept/Reject】

He handed the task list to the deputy captain:

"I leave it to you. Take ten people with you and complete it today. I will go to Lao Wei to ask about the situation later. Don't be lazy."

Vice Captain: “???”

I have heard that my new captain likes to help others solve their problems, but what does it mean to let him do this?

It was evening.

[Mission: Arsonist - Completed]

Hearing the system prompt and looking at the rising experience bar, Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the result was still good.

This is his real purpose in asking Calanthe for the position!

While the deputy captain led his men to the blacksmith shop, Lann also took his men around the city, so -

[Mission: Cattery - Completed]

[Mission: Repeated Thief - Completed]

[Mission - Unpayable Gambling Debt - Completed]

[Character level increase +1]

evening.

Inside the Three Crows Tavern, soldiers in city defense uniforms filled nearly one floor.

"cheers!"

"You know, this is the first time I've come across someone who runs an 'orphanage' for wild cats, and she's an old lady. I think she's out of her mind!"

"Stop talking. I met a gambler here. I went to his house and he even had the wild idea of ​​trying to cheat me out of my money. The five of us surrounded him and beat him up!"

"Hey, you don't know, this is the first time I've seen a thief steal things from someone's house over and over again, and it's been almost a month, and no one's doing anything about it?"

"Dude, this is something we should be in charge of..."
