"What, who the hell are you" The dungeon team leader clenched the sword in his hand, and his legs trembled unconsciously.

There is no second way out of the dungeon here, and the man in black is unhurried, and his eyes under the hood are like looking at a flock of lambs in a trap.

"Are you, the dark mage, aren't we allies, why are you doing this?" the team leader let out a frightened voice, and the terrifying speed and dark magic suddenly reminded him of the dark mage organization that appeared in Lord Marquis.

"Allies, ridiculous words, depending on you... A little marquis... Also worthy?" The man in black smiled contemptuously, and immediately made the cell captain furious, the dignity of the Marquis is something he can maintain with his life.

A dark blade was condensed in his hand again, shooting at the guards who couldn't dodge, and at the same time, his body moved, cutting a one-meter-long hole in the chest of another guard, the armor did not work at all, a large number of internal organs fell to the ground, and the smell of blood suddenly filled this narrow space.

"Dark magic! hey, give me the key, I'll help you," Ravel recognized the magic cast by the man in black and hurriedly shouted to the nearest guard with the key to the forbidden lock.

Falling into the hands of Vrnovic, with the connections of Count Rust, may be able to save a life, and falling into the hands of a group of dark magicians, God knows what will happen.

The team leader also figured this out, and quickly took off the key from his waist and threw it at Glick, while the other person also picked up the short crossbow in his hand and shot at the man in black.

The man in black sneered, his hand shook, and the long sword suddenly shot out, accurately knocking off the forbidden demon lock key.

But the short arrows flew straight through his body, but only a puff of smoke cleared.

'Shadow Double'

Before everyone could react, the man in black appeared in front of the guard with a short crossbow, grabbed him by the neck with one hand, and slowly lifted him off the ground.

"You... What the hell do you want to do, what's in it for you" Casting several dark spells in a row, the cell leader has already decided that he belongs to one of those dark mage teams, but he has to figure out why the side that originally belonged to the allies suddenly rebelled!

The man in black sneered, "Stupid, what if you help you, what if you don't help, the more people who die on the battlefield, the better, the so-called Marquis in your mouth is just a chess piece in our hands, which can be discarded like garbage at any time"

"What! You... I'm fighting with you!" The other six companions were all killed, and he couldn't escape, and the blood in his heart completely exploded, and his eyes were torn apart, and he rushed straight towards the man in black.

The two people in the cell also watched the battle outside with bloodless faces, and with this wall barrier, they couldn't help much!

"Die... Waste" Two red lights erupted in the black's eyes, appearing in front of him like two ribbons, and a punch slammed into his face before his long sword could fall.

Suddenly, his whole body, along with the heavy armor, flew out upside down, and smashed into a pile of debris, a dark black magic arrow followed, piercing the armor on his chest, and then a stinging pain came from his heart, the team leader lowered his head weakly, looking at the wound that came out of the blood, the proud Ford family custom armor was so useless in the face of powerful power......

"What's next... It's that the adults want the other two high-level death knights, the flesh of the fifth-order powerhouses... Tsk, that's good, it's a shame to give Vnovich that waste..."

"Bastard!Ravel?!"

"Ahh

"Come on, Kingdom of the Dead... I'm calling you!"

The contemptuous voice of the man in black seemed to be getting smaller and smaller in the ears of the squad leader, and finally his consciousness sank and he completely fainted.

.......

In the city of thorns, after the day's rush, the aristocratic coalition army that had taken refuge in the city of thorns guarded the camp rested quietly, and the night was still deep.

"Cole, gather all the knight captains of our family, I have an order!" Baron Moses shouted in a low voice to the knight leader of the fifth-order family at the door.

"Yes, my lord" Cole bowed slightly, he knew about the Earl's preparation to cooperate with the Marquis of Thorns to launch a rebellion, but this time it was too hasty, the people, grain and grass were not enough, especially the summer tax burden, which had just been handed over to the imperial capital, and it was too unwise to start a war just after paying the taxes.

If the war continues until the spring of the next year, they don't know if they can support the food and grass.

After a while, more than a dozen knights came to Lord Moses, the earl, and listened respectfully to what the Marquis was about to say.

"Do you think this so-called founding will be successful?" Moses coldly glanced at all the knights of the family who were loyal to him, and as soon as he spoke, he was shocked.

The knights here all showed hesitation, they all guessed that because of the elven slave incident, the earl was forced to participate in this operation, and if he succeeded, he would be the founding minister, and if he failed, he would be doomed.

But the Earl suddenly came here to ask, is it to verify their loyalty, afraid that they will secretly flee to report the situation of their forces in the southern imperial capital?

"My lord, whether we succeed or not, we will swear to follow the Earl's side to the death" Knight Captain Cole was smarter, and answered the Earl's question with a different concept.

The Earl snorted coldly: "What I'm asking is whether you think you can succeed, it's not a test of your loyalty, you have followed me for so many years, I can still trust you, I'm not that damn bastard of Funovic!"

This words of trust immediately moved all the knights, and Cole stepped forward and said bluntly: "My lord, we all know that you were forced to participate, but this operation is too hasty, and the strength of the enemy and us is not clear for the time being, and my subordinates dare not make conclusions."

That's right, at this time, many people still have doubts about why Vnovic dared to start a rebellion, especially the Imperial Capital coalition forces in the south, which are spreading scouts everywhere at this time to investigate the deployment of troops in Thorn City.

The so-called Dark Mage Legion, the Orc Legion, the support of the Kingdom of Northern Switzerland, the recognition of the Holy See, the capture of the little princess of Bright Blue... It has not yet surfaced in front of the public, and it was only announced early this morning.

Count Moses pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Let me tell you the truth, this operation is a conspiracy!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, the conspiracy?

"Isn't that Vanovic in charge of this operation? Could it be King Fürth!" Cole was equally shocked. If King Fürth had led the operation, he would have done a better job of eradicating all the noble forces in the Land of Thorns.

Because if they don't rebel and just send the criminal nobles to the elves to dispose of, their heirs will still inherit the inheritance of their fathers, but these local forces will be further divided with the Liangzi of the imperial capital.

"Worthy of being one of my most trusted men," the Count was pleased with Cole's words, nodded, and continued, "You must know that the king's target is not the nobles!

Aristocracy and aristocratic power are two completely different concepts. Many of Moses' subordinates were not nobles, but were nobles, and they were also included in the scope of King Radiant's purge.

Even if the king killed all the nobles of the Land of Thorns, the new nobles he sent would not be able to gain a foothold due to the influence of his power.

"The Earl... What should we do?" asked a family knight nervously, feeling the brutality of the power struggle for the first time.

The earl didn't answer, his eyes swept to everyone present: "Let's think about it first, where is the root cause of this matter?"

"King Fürth... Cole looked solemn, and the Earl was not as angry as before, which showed that he had already figured out a countermeasure.

"That's right!" said Moses, clenching his fists and heavily, "think about it, why did he lead us to start a rebellion because of his so-called ambition?"

"Hmph, although we seem to have some strength on the surface, but we don't have enough food leftover, this battle will obviously last for a long time, and the Holy See will definitely not come forward to stop it like the last time we stopped Yaolan from fighting with Swisston."

"Most of the Swiss Don Kingdom is also watching the fire from the other side, taking a territory into their own hands, or watching a force that is not under their control rise?"

As he spoke, Count Moses slammed his fist on the table in anger, and the other knights present were equally indignant.

"And why did you start a rebellion, my lord? It's impossible to do something you're not sure about," Cole suddenly thought to the crux of the matter.

The earl sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "Sure, of course he is sure, 100% sure, that is, to make our aristocratic forces... All to death!"

"What, let's die?" the knights present were all furious, what did it mean to let them go to their deaths?

"Could it be... He's just going to send us to death, and then he'll go to King Fürth, and then he'll be crowned a marquis?" Cole shouted as he figured it all out.

"That's right! If King Fürth wants to eradicate our 'aristocratic forces', he will definitely pay a lot of price for a frontal assault, but if he has an internal response... Hmph"

Everyone immediately gasped, worthy of King Winston, one poison plan after another, and it was unwilling not to fully include this land in his hands.

"What should we do, Lord Earl?" everyone looked at Count Moses steadfastly, now they were tied to the same boat, and there was no way back.

Count Moses looked at all the family knights with a determined look in his eyes, and a meaningful smile curled into the corners of his mouth.

In the dark cabinet of the room, another Earl of Moses, dressed only in underwear, collapsed inside with a pale face and a cold body, apparently dead for a long time...
