Chapter 607: Persecution
In the room, sitting at his desk, Asily was thinking bitterly.
Before the Battle of the Southern Fortress began, Prince Grull was a good choice, but after the Southern Fortress was captured and the Karo area was occupied by the Duke of Senai, the prince's momentum was much less than before.
The Karo region is the home base of Prince Gruul and the home of Prince Gruul's maternal family.
The fall of the Southern Fortress not only meant that the relationship that Prince Grull had been operating for many years was shattered, but the Caro lords who originally supported him suffered heavy losses in this battle, falling behind in the competition with the northern lords, and the probability of inheriting the throne was much less than usual.
Choosing to join Prince Gruul's camp at this time, even if it is just to give people such an attitude, is not a wise choice.
It's just that in front of him, Prince Grull is not easy to dismiss.
If you refuse directly, it means tearing your face.
After all, the other party is a kingdom, not only is he a kingdom lord, but behind him is the lord of Carlo, who has a lot of energy, and it is not something that a viscount like him can offend.
What's more, the other party's side is still following a silver knight at this moment.
Viscount Asily knew his situation well. The two bronze knights, and the silver knights, were not his subordinates, they were just sent by a certain highness to assist him, and at most they stayed here for a while before leaving.
At that time, without the protection of these knights, that one silver knight alone may be enough to kill him.
Thinking of this, his heart became more and more entangled, until in the room in front of him, a rush of footsteps sounded again.
"What!Lord Chris is killed!!"
Asiri stood up suddenly, looked at the subordinates who came to report in front of him, and his face was full of disbelief: "What the hell is going on!"
"Not only His Excellency, but also the two Honorable Lords, were also killed, and even the corpses were placed together!" In front of him, the old butler who came to report had a panic on his face, and he looked equally incredulous about what had happened: "Their bodies are still in the room, and their heads have all been cut off!"
"Damn!!" Hearing the news, Ashili's mind first flashed with anger, and then after reacting, a wave of fear.
After this happened, he knew in his heart that the time had come to make a choice.
Originally, he may have the possibility of pleasing from both sides, but now, he has no choice.
"In a short period of time, killing two bronze knights, one silver knight, so that they can't even make a sound, this kind of thing, only one person in the entire castle can do it..."
He took a deep breath, and for a moment the figure of someone flashed through his mind.
Outside the door, a crisp sound of footsteps sounded slowly.
Asiri looked up, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
Outside the door, Gruul was wearing a blue-sleeved robe with a long sword at his waist, and was walking towards Asiri with a smile on his face.
And beside him, the young knight named Yasuo was tall, dressed in black and swaying gently in the wind, the smell of blood on his body had not been washed away, and there was a little residual blood on it, clearly telling him that this knight had just experienced a bloody battle.
As Adil and Gruel walked in, Asiri's face became more and more ugly, and he affirmed his thoughts in an instant.
"Viscount Asiri, the request during the day, I don't know if you have thought it through. ”
Looking at Asiri in front of him, Grull had a smile on his face, and he looked as happy as if he had picked up a lot of gold coins: "It doesn't need much, just a few dozen people are enough." ”
"His Highness Grull has seen the outside. Asiri's face was ugly, but at this point, he forced out a smile, looked at him firmly, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "It's just my honor to send someone to escort His Highness to the royal capital." ”
"With His Highness's identity, how can dozens of people be enough, I am willing to send two hundred knights to escort His Highness all the way to Tamu City. He said this, although his heart was gloomy, but his face was still full of smiles.
In a short period of time, he has figured out the cause and effect, as well as the possibilities of the present.
There was no doubt that the death of the three knights in his castle had left him with no choice.
He couldn't explain it to the people behind the three knights.
Without witnesses, the people behind the three knights would not believe his explanation, but would only think that he had taken refuge with Gruul, and then together with Gruul, they killed the three knights.
Even, even if the other party believed him, the family behind the three knights would not choose to let him go.
Two bronze knights, one silver knight, behind each knight, there must be their own family and power to cultivate these people.
Now, the knights cultivated by these families have died like this, in the castle of his Viscount Asiri, even if His Highness knows his innocence in his heart, he must give an explanation to the family behind the three knights and use him as a scapegoat.
So at this moment, he already had no choice.
"Thank you Viscount Asily for your generosity. ”
In front of him, listening to Viscount Asiri's words, Grull had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Viscount Asiri's final statement.
"Then, as a gift, these few things will be given to you. ”
He smiled, showing a mouthful of neat teeth, and then stepped forward himself, put down the three wooden boxes, and then turned away with Adil beside him.
Beside him, he glanced at Viscount Asiri, Adil shook his head secretly, and then followed Gruul and left directly.
After they left, Viscount Asily trembled his hands, looked at the three wooden boxes placed in front of him, smelled the little blood coming from them, took a deep breath, and then slowly stepped forward and opened the three wooden boxes.
A strong bloody aura rose violently, impacting Viscount Asily's mouth and nose in an instant, making his face extremely ugly.
I saw that in front of me, among the three wooden boxes placed in front of me, there were three living human heads.
On the human head, a little blood flowed, and the hideous and incredulous expression on his face had frozen, as if he couldn't believe that he had died like this.
Looking at the three heads, it took a while for Viscount Asily to recover and gently close the three wooden boxes, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat directly on the wooden chair as if he had lost his strength.
Outside the door, on the way back to his room, the two of them walked on the road.
"Yasuo, this time, thanks to your idea. ”
Walking down the narrow road, thinking about the scene when he had slain the three knights earlier, Grull still had some lingering palpitations.
After meeting with Viscount Asiri and formally proposing to let the other party escort him back to the royal capital, Gruul was in a tangle, and was a little worried that Viscount Asiri would not give in.
After all, compared to the one who instructed the other party, he was able to take out too few chips at the moment, and the following of a mere silver knight didn't mean anything.
The Kahlo region fell, and the southern lords who originally supported him suffered heavy losses, which meant that the strength that originally supported him was greatly weakened.
When those lords saw this, even the lords who originally supported him were probably worried.
This was the case with Viscount Asiri.
As Gruul's father-in-law to some extent, the Viscount of Asiri also supported Gruul at first. But after the fall of the Southern Fortress and the defeat of Gruul, his attitude immediately became ambiguous, and a group of knights from other forces gathered around him to attack him.
In this case, it is not easy to get the other party to fall back into his arms.
His mood and concerns, Adil naturally cleared, but he was also a little impatient.
For Adiel, this level of confrontation is really a bit boring, so he simply came up with an idea.
Kill the knights sent by other princes directly, and directly frame the head of Viscount Asiri, and you will have a great chance of forcing the other party to comply.
Strictly speaking, this option is not too safe, but it is the only way for the moment.
Grull immediately agreed to Adiel's plan, and with his sword in his own hand, he prepared to enter the chamber of the three knights overnight to assassinate them.
Unexpectedly, the other party also had the same idea as them, and the three of them gathered together directly, and a premeditated assassination directly turned into a forcible killing.
In a fight, Adil once again showed his worth, and the three knights were directly killed by him, and the whole process did not even reveal a sound.
Thinking of the previous fight, Grull couldn't help but shake his head, looking at Adier's eyes, and couldn't help but become even hotter.
"With such a strong knight by your side, as long as it's not the Golden Knight himself, what's there to be afraid of?"
He had a smile on his face, and for the first time since he had fled, he felt a sense of security.
"But... Not insured..."
In the blink of an eye, other thoughts appeared in his heart: "Yasuo will follow me, just I can give him a chance and a future, but this, my eldest brother can also do it..."
"It takes more to get him to serve faithfully..."
For people like Grul, they don't believe in the so-called family affection and friendship from the bottom of their hearts.
Yasuo's second sister is indeed his wife, but in Gruul's eyes, it may not have much weight.
When it comes to relationships, Asiri is still his father-in-law, and in the end, seeing him defeated, isn't it the same as turning to other princes and wanting to imprison him?
Baron Doru is Yasuo's father, but when Baron Doru was defeated many times and fell into crisis many times before, why didn't Yasuo come forward to help his father fight?
It can be seen that this genius knight may not care much about his father and family, and he has little hope of relying on this to tie up the other party.
"Rather than that..."
As if remembering something, Gruul smiled again.
