The wind blows the flags, the hunting sounds, the courtyard on the top of the mountain is large-scale, and the huge observation deck stands on the edge of the cliff, and when you look down, the difference of hundreds of meters is dizzying.

Quint Hokus held his hands on the thick stone railings and stared at the farmstead at the foot of the mountain in the distance, where the peasants were busily walking around, looking like ants from above.

"My lord, Earl Callon asks to see you. The pale, silver-haired man on the side bowed.

Quint looked down the cliff, which was full of gray rocks and lifeless.

"Your Excellency, ......?"

"Let him in. Quint withdrew his gaze, his meticulous blonde hair untouched by the wind.

A man dressed in a fancy costume with loose hair barged in, his wrinkled face smelling of alcohol.

"Hehe, Master Quint, this is as you wish? Now that the three families of Cheburg are the only ones left, and you refuse to let go, how did you promise me in the first place?"

"I promised you to rule Cheburg on the condition that the Colin and Horton families were on my side, and what did they do?"

"They were originally supported by the royal family, even if the power is not as strong as before, it is not so easy to manipulate, I need time to convince them, but you killed them!"

"They are going to Monge for help, trying to incorporate Cheburg into Silver Leaf City, which is unforgivable. Quint's gaze shifted to the count's face, "As for the time, I've given you enough time. ”

"The head of the family is dead, the people of the two families have fled in all directions, and the territory has been stripped away, what does the current Cheburg still mean to me?" asked the Earl of Kirton, in a hoarse voice.

"The current Cheburg is for you, Lord Earl, you are wrong, the current Cheebel has nothing to do with you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't complete the agreement between us, you didn't convince them, but instead made me spend more effort to deal with this matter, so Cheburg has nothing to do with you in the future, you need to move to the wasteland, where you will be given a new territory. ”

"What did you say?"

Earl Cottonn was stunned, if he hadn't betrayed the alliance of the three families of Cheburg under the coercion and lure of Quint, Chaburg would not have fallen to the current fate, and now he actually wants to drive him to the wasteland?

There is nothing in the wasteland, and it will take decades to open up new territories, which is simply pushing him to a dead end.

"Quint, don't push me to death, I'll do anything for the sake of Cheburg!"

"Are you threatening me?" Quint sighed, "I wanted to let you live, but now it seems that there is no need for it." ”

"Don't force me, or I'll go to His Highness Bron to plead guilty. Earl Cottonn laughed maniacally, "If I don't go back today, someone will immediately pass the news to His Highness Bloom, and then it will be too late for you to regret it." ”

Quint looked at Kirton, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Give you one last choice, you jump from here yourself, I will leave your youngest son alive, and your daughters will not die, you can go to the night courtyard to live. ”

"You demon! I'm going to kill you!" Count Kirton, with his red eyes, swooped down, and drew the dagger hidden at his waist in his right hand.

The pale, silver-haired man appeared behind him ghostly, his right hand outstretched, sharp fingers pinching his arm, the sound of bones shattering, and Earl Kirton let out a terrible howl and fell to his knees.

"It looks like you're giving up on that option. Quint turned around and continued to look down the cliff, as if something was there that was attracting him, "Throw him down." ”

The silver-haired man grabbed the trembling Earl Callon by the throat, turning his terrified howl into a hoarse roar, like a dying beast, red liquid spurting from his neck and spilling onto the marble floor.

Earl Kirton was dragged to the stone railing, his neck twisted unnaturally, a streak of blood stretching under his body, his eyes widened and he tried to breathe, but the air could not enter his lungs.

The heavy body rose into the air, climbed over the stone fence and fell, quickly turning into a small black dot, if you close your eyes and imagine it, you can hear a muffled pop.

Quint closed his eyes and twitched his nose slightly, feeling the beauty of the bloody breath.

"How's it going?"

"The people he slipped out to see had all been killed, and there were no survivors. ”

"What about him?"

"To-morrow I will inform Cheburg that the Earl of Kirton fell off a cliff drunken and died, and if they wish, they can come and pick up the corpse, and if they are lucky, they can probably pick up a few whole pieces. ”

"Good. ”

"His family, tomorrow will start moving to the wasteland, and then ......"

"Let them move to the wasteland outside the Cracked City, contact those people in the Misty Mountains, and do it on the way, kill all the people of the Kirton family, and let them deal with the rest. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"What about the women of the other families in Cheburg?"

"It has been transported to the night courtyards in various places as planned, a total of 378 people, 21 people resisted and executed, and 5 people collapsed because they couldn't bear the nerve potion, and they were also directly disposed of. The silver-haired man paused, "Only thirty of them have been selected and sent over there, and the adults don't seem to be satisfied." ”

"So small?" Quint frowned.

"It's because there are more people on the outlying islands this time, as many as fifteen, so there are a little fewer over there. ”

"Fifteen? That's good news. ”

"Yes, my lord, this is the largest number of people in the last decade. ”

"Walter, let Faceless himself get on the boat and escort him to the outlying islands, and warn him not to let him do anything to these women, or I'll chop him up and feed him to the fish. ”

"My lord, I'm afraid this is ......"

"Pick a few from the rest of the people and give them to him, a few women have to be killed every month, what a. Quint's fingers as he pressed the stone fence turned white, "Damn bastard." ”

"My lord, just a few women. ”

"Walter, you have to remember that this is his weakness, and those who have weakness don't live long. ”

"Yes, sir. The silver-haired man lowered his head, "Why don't you let me go to the outlying islands?"

"No, you have more important things to do. Quint retracted his gaze from the bottom of the cliff, "Contact the Black Ghost and ask him to finish what he did last time." ”

"My lord, this time doesn't seem to be a good time. ”

"Things that will be done sooner or later, Ember City is too far away, something happens and it is difficult to control, we are short of manpower over there, and we can't add more variables. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Over there in the palace, there is probably news coming out soon, and our Majesty the King is still dying. ”

"Time is running out for him. ”

"It's the same for us, time is running out. Quint looked into the distance, his eyes cold, "What about Madame?"

"Madame and General Guf have been staying in the palace...... Walter said cautiously, but surprisingly, he did not see Quint angry.

"The future queen of the chalk pampered her generals, and I will fulfill her and bury them in a cemetery. ”

Broken corpses?

Walter didn't speak, just lowered his head.
