A white light slowly appeared on the edge of the skyline, and as soon as the sky dawned, the civilians of Thorn City woke up one after another, preparing to go to the central square early this morning, saying that their lord had something important to announce.

The residents walked out of the house, speculating on what the Marquis was about to announce, and wondering if it was the undead dragon incident in the north... Or those nobles who bought forest elves as slaves are about to be sent to the Flower Language Forest in the east.

But I didn't know that the Marquis's Mansion at this moment was full of blood, and Lint looked at the corpses all over the ground with a gloomy face.

The family guards who were good yesterday turned into corpses early this morning!

Sir Lint is the most approachable of Fnovic's men, and has a very good relationship with some of the family's ordinary knights and guards.

The scene in front of them was like a slap in the face

"Who the hell is going on?" said Sir Lint with indignation, a great anger suppressed in his deep voice.

Because they fell asleep last night, the surviving guards were honestly afraid, and they couldn't help but feel lucky in their hearts, but more of a fear of the unknown.

"Big... My lord, we don't know what's going on, there was really no sound of fighting at all last night, and when I woke up... That's what happened."

"How's going in the dungeon!"

"This... The subordinates haven't gone down to inspect yet, but no one below has answered, and I guess..."

"Go down!" scolded Sir Lint, and his heart suddenly filled with deep anger at these incompetent guards.

"Yes, my lord" The guards around him immediately ran to the cabin, opened the entrance to the secret passage, jumped in, and after a while came out and shouted to Lint: "My lord, there is a brother who still has a breath"

Lint's face changed, and he quickly ran over and jumped into the dungeon, and saw the dungeon team leader who still had a trace of breath in the pile of debris, and the two people who were originally imprisoned in the dungeon were also gone, I don't know if they were rescued?

"Lin... Special.. My lord..."When the leader of the dungeon team saw Lint, he immediately let out a faint voice with difficulty, not to say what happened last night... He doesn't blink an eye!

"Don't talk, you'll be fine," Lint walked over quickly, half-kneeling to check on his injuries.

The head was wounded, the blood had clotted, but fortunately it didn't hurt the brain, but it was only enough to faint. The only thing that kills is that the armor of the heart is pierced like a sharp arrow... No, it's magic!

Blood is still oozing out of the heart... He has injured the major arteries and the vital part of the heart, although the extent is limited, but he... Death is inevitable, and it is a miracle that it has survived until now.

"Big... Man, I'm not good anymore, let me finish" The middle-aged man squeezed out the last of his strength and grabbed Sir Lint's arm, his eyes almost bursting into flames with endless resentment.

"It's okay, what happened last night, speak slowly" Lint patted him on the shoulder and whispered comfort.

"Yesterday... Night, Men in Black... Dark Mage, get here"

"Dark mage, are you sure?" Rint turned his gaze to the others, all of whom had more or less fatal injuries caused by magic, and immediately thought of the dark mage organizations that the Marquis had contacted.

"No.. Wrong, it's those dark mages... cough cough" was so angry that the team leader suddenly coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.

"He... He said, we're just... Chess pieces! can be used at any time... Abandon it!" The team leader stared at Lint's eyes and said from the bottom of his heart: "They don't really help us at all!"

Everyone present had a chill down their spines, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, and now, the curse did not help them resist the Bright Blue Royal Wizard Legion... So what should they do?

"Why... Could this be?" Lint couldn't believe this fact, and turned his eyes to look at the two missing people in the cage: "No... What about the two of them? Why did the mages save the two of them?"

"The two of them... Hehe, there is a necromancer among them!I'm going to be a death knight!" The team leader roared angrily as if he had returned to his glory: "Necromancer! My lord, what they want is not the kingdom of thorns! but the kingdom of the undead! We are all just pawns, the more we die, the better!"

"Impossible... This can't be!" Lint shook his head blankly, if he was telling the truth, then... What will they do... There is the Bright Blue Coalition in front, and behind it are 'allies' who can stab at any time.

After the captain of the cell roared, the whole person was like a deflated balloon, and his breath weakened, and he let out a last low voice: "Lord Lint... For the brothers... Revenge."

“......”

Everyone fell silent, panicked and overwhelmed. There was no need for the mortal to deceive them, especially since he was a brother who had worked together in the Marquis's Court for many years.

His heart was injured by magic, but fortunately, the magic position was a little off, and he was not killed on the spot, and the magician seemed to have had time to check his injuries, so that he survived until he was found in the early hours of this morning.

The specific situation successfully fell into the ears of Sir Lint, who can be described as the Marquis of God.

After a few moments, Lint gently closed the squad leader's dead eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.

"You keep watch here, don't make a noise, I'll report to the Marquis. Lint glanced coldly at the rest of the dungeon, threw out the sentence, and turned to leave the blood-filled dungeon.

......

On the streets of Thorn City, residents watched in amazement as rows of heavily armed soldiers ran towards the central square of Thorn City.

If it is said that it is the garrison of Thorn City, it will be forgotten, after all, the Marquis speaks, and it is necessary to maintain order on the scene.

But why!? Their armor indicates that they are the knights of the captured nobles? Shouldn't their masters be sent to the forest elves for trial? Why are they here?

Could it be to save their master, but why did they appear on this street in the open, and the marquis's subordinates also turned a blind eye to it. The common people had no choice but to remain silent, secretly thinking to themselves what the Marquis was going to say.

The big people with heads and faces in Thorn City all walked towards the big square in the center, and some people thought of the disappearance of the imperial capital's envoy who had made a lot of noise before, and had a premonition that something big would happen.

......

"Necromancer, are you sure?" Sir Lint said," Fnovich stared at Lint with burning eyes.

Things have come to this point, the Land of Thorns and the Yaolan Emperor are just the last layer of paper that has not been pierced, and this kind of thing has happened!

"It's true!My lord, although there is no direct evidence that they killed our people" Lint clenched his fists with both hands, and said hatefully: "But that dark magic, the identity of the man in black, I believe he will not be mistaken, is there still someone in the imperial capital who will use dark magic?"

"But why do they do it, and the so-called necromancer, no, you can't make such a hasty decision" Fnovic shook his head, a thick look of heaviness in his eyebrows.

When you think about these questions last night, it's easy to see a lot of details that are not right...

The forces that should be assembled have all arrived last night, and this fork has occurred again at a critical time...

"But... My lord, we really don't know enough about them to even know why they helped us" Lint didn't believe that the dark mages were just trying to build a country where they could hide well.

There must be a bigger conspiracy, and more undead armies may be their true purpose, and letting them lose both is the main thing.

What's more important is that the inner response of the Holy See they say is too flawed, how can a dark mage be combined with a ginseng who believes in the goddess of light.

Without the support of the Holy See, the war has lasted for a long time, and the strategic material is insufficient, they are bound to lose!

Fnovich sighed deeply: "Lint, it's been so far... We have no way back!"

There is no way back...

Lint suddenly thought of the angry and unwilling eyes of the dungeon team leader, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted angrily: "But... We are willing to be driven by them... Can you use it as a pawn that can be discarded at will!?"

"Sir Lint... Calm down, know that we don't have direct evidence that they did it," Fnovich frowned at him and said in a deep voice.

"If they really did it last night, it wouldn't do them much good, or it's not too late to do this kind of thing after the war is over, anyway, with their terrifying strength.... Forget it, I'll keep an eye on them, you go down first"

“.... Yes, my lord" Lint took two deep breaths and calmed down, indeed, there are still many loopholes in last night's events, and you can't easily jump to conclusions, bow deeply to the marquis, and then close the door and leave.

It just so happened that the Marquis's loyal subordinate, the governor of Dubai, passed by Lint and walked in.

"Dubai, you're late today" The marquis twisted his eyebrows together and still didn't spread, and it was a point of aggravation to see Dubai walk in.

"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, my subordinates were too excited last night and didn't sleep well" Dubai saluted the Marquis, his eyes were slightly circled, and his face still had a tiredness that could not be concealed.

"Forget it, pay attention next time" The Marquis thought of being a little busy in the last few days, especially after he had been running before and after, it was really difficult for him.

"Thank you, sir" Dubai bowed his head slightly, and said: "My lord, what about the envoy of Swisston, as soon as you finish speaking, our combined army will set off for the south, and their army is still stationed at the foot of the Pingxi Mountains."

The marquis snorted coldly: "There is not enough strength, I don't think they will make a move easily, otherwise they won't be so procrastinating"

"But they have all sent people, and we must also show a little sincerity, you go and ask Green to take the envoy of the Kingdom of Swisston to the place where their army is stationed, explain our attitude, and ask their army to come to the vicinity of Thorn City by tonight, with their deterrence, as long as we withstand the possible battle this afternoon, after that it will be an advantage"

Previously, Fnovich had not directly sent people to the army of the Kingdom of Swisston, firstly, he wanted to leave a little leeway, for fear of colluding with the enemy, and secondly, he wanted to test their attitude and how much he was willing to help them.

Through yesterday's conversation, he had already guessed that they would help if they could, and if the gap was too big, they would immediately turn around and go home.

In order to minimize casualties, he decided to send his youngest son to the temporary residence of the Snow Leopard Knights with the Swiss Ton envoy, both as a sign of respect and for his safety.

The message has not been replied to, and most of the eldest son has already encountered an accident...

Dubai took his leave, and Vnovich sat up slowly, it was not too early for him to go to the central square of Thorn City, and proclaim his great state-building to their vast people.
