At the same time, Kale County, which is thousands of miles away from Nanhuang County.

Compared to the prosperity of two years ago, Kale County is now full of depression, with barren fields, ruined villages and towns, and emaciated homeless people everywhere, and the main reason for this scene is the devil.

It has been five years since the outbreak of the demonic disaster, and even if there were preparations to prevent the demonic plague in the early stage, under such a long period of consumption, many territories could not hold on and turned into powder.

People thought that the demon disaster would end in a few years at most, but who would have thought that it was indeed an increasingly fierce posture.

On the main road of the county, the mission sent by King Ferdinand to discuss with the lords the plan to burn the forest was trudging with difficulty.

The Marquis Bowen sat in the carriage with a tired face on his face, and he was now thinking about how to reply to His Majesty the King to the indignant and aggressive words of the lords.

In fact, he had long expected that the lords would react like this, and even he himself did not approve of this approach, let alone the lords and nobles who had interests related to him.

The purpose of the mission was not achieved, and the whole team did not have the feeling of showing off their might at the beginning, and even the lion-headed banner in the hands of the flag bearer looked a little depressed.

An indescribable silence enveloped the entire convoy, and only the creaking of wheels against the ground could be heard.

At this moment, a few whistles suddenly sounded in the grass in the grass in front of the right side of the mission, and then there was a crowd of people, and countless people in tattered clothes who looked like homeless people rushed out.

The guards of the mission immediately shouted: "Who are you!"

He was answered by an arrow that was extremely sharp, piercing the guard's throat.

Marquis Bowen, who was already in a very bad mood, heard movement outside, lifted the curtain and looked out, and then saw several sharp arrows coming towards his door.

He didn't show a panicked expression, he waved his hand casually, and the entire carriage was protected by pure yellow fighting energy.

The sound of arrows roared from all directions, and sharp arrows were like a torrential rain pouring on the Douqi shield.

Among them, two special-looking arrows were only slightly blocked, and they directly penetrated the Douqi shield, and at the last moment, Marquis Bowen raised his sword to block, blocking two arrows that were greatly reduced in power.

He didn't frown, and spat out four words from his mouth: "Demon Breaking Arrow!"

The rain of arrows came suddenly, and the speed was extremely fast, and the guards around the carriage were caught off guard and directly drowned in the dense rain of arrows.

The rain of arrows caused considerable confusion in the Mission, but the Mission's guards, all elite soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, quickly reacted and rushed towards the outcasts on all sides with their swords raised.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot state, with two hundred elite soldiers fighting against hundreds of displaced people, but the result was surprising, the two sides were evenly matched.

Seeing this, Marquis Bowen's brows suddenly twisted, and he said to his entourage gathered around the carriage, "You go up and help." ”

The six entourages did not talk nonsense, and rushed forward with their knives.

The addition of the six men, all of whom were vindictive warriors, changed the situation on the battlefield, and after paying the price of hundreds of men, the attackers fled in a hurry.

The battle came and ended quickly, and the losses of the mission were not large, more than 40 people were wounded and eight were killed.

The six relatives ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and they returned to the carriage and reported: "Lord Marquis, the other party has retreated. ”

Marquis Bowen's eyes were gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is the attacker?"

The six relatives looked at each other, and finally the highest-ranking leader replied: "It looks like it should be a bandit, but it's ......."

The retinue looked hesitant, as if there was something unspeakable.

The Marquis of Bowen understood and ordered, "Come forward and talk back." ”

When he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Marquis Bowen's face became worse and worse, and finally knocked the wheel of the car hard, and scolded: "Damn, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's recent breakthrough to the legendary realm, he would really have the Tao." ”

After a long time, he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Check carefully to see if there is any alive." ”

The six followers left with the order, and in less than ten minutes, the leader returned again: "My lord, we found three alive. ”

The murderous intent in Marquis Bowen's eyes was fleeting: "Interrogate them separately to see who really wants Lao Tzu's life." ”

In fact, he has already made up his mind in his heart, but he just lacks human evidence.

Two hours later, the envoys were on the road again, and Marquis Bowen's already unhappy mood was once again covered with a thick haze because of the time of the attack.

Maybe he knew that the head of the regiment was in a bad mood, and the guards around him were all avoiding, for fear of annoying the other party somewhere.

Marquis Bowen sat in the carriage and flipped through the rosters of the various lords of Cabbage County, more than half of whom were members of the Creighton family, and each member had a big cross after their name.

Needless to ask, these are the people who oppose the King's plan to burn the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Gently closing the roster, a wry smile spread across his face, always feeling that His Majesty the King would push the Kingdom of Arthur into the abyss.

At this moment, the rear of the mission suddenly came to report from Pegasus, approached the carriage in person, and muttered in a low voice: "Lord Marquis, I have interrogated clearly, these people are all hired adventurers, and it is not clear who the employer is. ”

Perhaps as expected, Marquis Bowen's face was extremely calm: "I know, the food is cleaner." ”

He nodded, a subtle smile on his face, and then turned the horse's head and galloped away.

When the surroundings were quiet again, Marquis Bowen couldn't help but sigh, with an extremely tired look on his face, he leaned back on the sofa, as if he was taking a nap, in fact, he was thinking about how to report the matter.

If expected, the only people who dared to attack the mission so blatantly were the Clayton family, apart from the Cronin family.

Now that he is on the territory of the Creighton family, who is ready to make a move.

First, the Cronin family and the royal family were separated, and then the Clayton family openly sent people to attack the mission.

Even if there is no direct evidence that the other party did it, it can be determined that the two families have completely broken with the royal family, but they have not completely torn their faces for the time being.

The power of the two families is not enough to shake the kingdom, but the two epic warriors are enough to bring the kingdom to ruin.

Troubled times are coming, the kingdom of Arthur has fallen into turmoil, and now how many people are willing to be loyal to the royal family?

Louis Hart, Frank Tours, and ......

Marquis Bowen tapped the armrest lightly, counting the top warriors standing on the side of the royal family, and immediately seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth suddenly smiled.

He opened his eyes, opened the window of the carriage, and let the cold wind pour into the carriage, and his spirits were immediately lifted.

Saion is not a blessing, and now is not a great opportunity to shuffle the cards.
