Chapter 70: Confrontation

"Where is the head of Hilton? Come out and talk to your grandpa! ”

Owen stepped out of the carriage and saw the mountain-tall Lothar, shouting at the back of the convoy. ^^^Baidu& Search for the Witch God + Read this book#Latest Chapter^^^

"I thought it was someone barking here, it turned out to be the third master of the Fontaine family. I don't know what advice the third master has? ”

As soon as the two met, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.

Lothar's brow furrowed, and he was about to have a seizure. Juster, who was on the side, hurriedly grabbed him and said to Owen, "Young Master Owen, can you come and talk?" ”

"Humph!" Owen snorted coldly, "Between our two families, there is something to talk about." ”

Juszt's face sank: "Young Master Owen was born in a noble family, and he should know very well that there are no certain rules for grievances and hatreds between nobles. Today's enemies may be tomorrow's friends. Even if we don't care about this, Young Master Owen should look at his own situation and think about whether to reject our kindness. ”

It turned out that before I knew it, the convoy had crossed the fork in the road and was on the hill road.

Where you are now, the rocks on both sides are towering, and the stone walls are smooth and difficult to climb. The path in the middle was long and narrow, barely wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.

If there are masters of considerable strength on Owen's side, such a terrain is a one-man affair. But now that the highest is only the bronze realm, in the face of Lothar, a silver fighter, there is not even a chance to rush forward and make up for quality with quantity.

Even a little bit of deterrence to buy time for a companion to escape may not be possible.

Owen was unmoved, and his face became even colder: "I'm just a small caravan leader, Second Master Juster's words, I should talk to my father." Listening to the tone of the second master's words, could it be that he has made up his mind to pay attention, and if he can't talk about it, he can't use it rudely? ”

Justt was silent. This result does not seem to be a surprise.

Over there, Lothar couldn't hold it back for a long time, and shouted roughly: "So what? ”

As he spoke, he took out an axe from behind his back and held it in his hand. The powerful warriors behind him turned over and dismounted, drawing their weapons.

The Hilton convoy was very nervous, and the samurai in the carriage at the end of the queue also took out their weapons and were on full alert.

For a while, the atmosphere became extremely tense, and a big war was about to break out.

Suddenly, a young voice rang out suddenly.

"I have long heard that the third master of the Fontaine family, Lothar, is a hero, but now that I see it, it is really as domineering as the rumors. It's just that I've always been timid, boy, I just hope that when the third master starts to kill, can I be careful, don't pay attention, and split me easily. ”

Lothar looked at the young man standing beside Owen and his eyes froze.

"Third Young Master? The third young master of the Marquis of Helmut? ”

The third young master has red lips and white teeth, his face is like a crown of jade, and his demeanor is like a worldly son. Hearing this, he grinned toothily and bowed to Lothar: "Exactly." Unexpectedly, the third master also knew the name of the kid. ”

With a "click", the pale-faced Justt fiercely clenched the folding fan in his hand into two sections.

This smiling young man was the third son of the Marquis of Helmut, one of the three major marquis families in Edinburgh, the patriarch of the Remet family. Because of his good looks and talents, he is a very outstanding ** person among the young generation in Edinburgh, known as the "Third Young Master". His original name, on the contrary, not many people remember.

Because the eldest son of the Marquis of Helmut, that is, the eldest brother of the third young master, has a calm and capable personality, and he is also a rare young talent. In addition, he has taken over some of the affairs of the Remet family for many years, and has made remarkable achievements, and is an undisputed and inevitable candidate for the future patriarch, and the third young master has no possibility of taking over the throne of the patriarch in theory.

However, people did not take him lightly because of this. It's just that the third young master and his eldest brother are both from the eldest lady of the Marquis of Helmut, and the two have had a very good relationship since childhood. It is foreseeable that when the eldest son of the marquis succeeds to the position of patriarch, the authority of the third young master will not be reduced in any way, but will only increase.

His sudden appearance in the Hilton family's convoy is needless to say.

Lothar saw his second brother, and secretly made a chopping action with his left hand.

Juster weighed his mind for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly.

Unlike the Hiltons, the Remet family has a deep heritage and an intertwined network of relationships throughout the glorious empire, and its strength is comparable to that of the Fontaine.

If the third young master, an important member of the Remet family, is killed, it is tantamount to fighting with the powerful Marquis family. Provoking a strong enemy when you are at your weakest is tantamount to seeking death.

Even if you don't let go of one person, no matter how clean things are, it's useless. Everyone can guess who did it. The Fontaine family dared to fight an aristocratic lawsuit with the nouveau riche Hilton, but they did not dare to play this game with the extremely old Remet family.

The third young master can't be killed, with such a heavyweight witness on the side, it can only be a dream to wipe out the people of Hilton silently.

Although the last interception plan failed, Just knew that his side had lost the initiative in the battle. But once again, the frustration of the operation still made him feel very lost.

Fortunately, the second master of Fontaine, who is known for his wisdom and strategy, has always been accustomed to keeping a back hand in his work.

Just snorted coldly and turned back into the carriage.

The Third Young Master and the Third Master have similar names to each other, but they don't seem to have anything in common. After a polite exchange without nutrition, they returned to their respective teams.

With Hilton in front and Fontaine behind, the two convoys continued to move slowly.

The third young master sat down safely and asked Owen for credit: "Young Master Owen, I helped you escape just now." ”

"Then thank you, Third Young Master." Owen thanked him insincerely, without even lifting his eyelids.

"Hehe, thank you no. But they couldn't do it, and they continued to put it on like a dog's skin plaster, what should they do now? ”

The Hilton and Remet families have obviously come together, but for some reason, the two of the younger generation are at odds with each other and seem to dislike each other.

Owen looked up at the sky: "Didn't you say just now, everything has already been decided, the third young master just sits and watches the play." ”

The third young master was silent, and looked up like him. The eyes flashed thoughtfully.

The two convoys moved forward in turn.

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor on the steep mountain wall. With a loud rumbling sound, several huge stones from the grinding disc rolled down from above.

The landing point was the first carriage of the Fontaine family, which was immediately behind the Hilton convoy.

In the face of the sudden onslaught, the driver of the carriage only had time to scream, and along with the carriage and the goods, was crushed underneath.

The warriors guarding next to him finally reacted quickly and jumped out of the way in time before the boulder pressed to the top, so as to avoid the bad luck of being crushed into meat sauce.

I saw several figures on a protruding boulder on the edge of the stone wall.

A big man who has the size of Lothar shouted: "I drove this road, I planted this tree, I want to fight here, and leave the road money!" ”

Another short old man smiled and said, "The old man of Hilton has already paid the toll and can pass safely." These are the noble lords of the Fontaine family, what do you say? ”

Tall and burly, it is a violent bear.

The short old man is the Rat King.

There was silence on the side, and the gray hair was a gray wolf.

In addition to the cunning fox, the four bandit leaders have reached three!

Juszt chuckled inwardly, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Miscalculated!

For this operation, he had made two preparations.

The first is to kill Hilton's entire caravan, while attacking the other party, it also boosts its own morale, and also deters those with dissent in the aristocratic alliance.

Another candidate is to follow the Hilton caravan and pass through the trade route. Let everyone in Edinburgh see that the business road is opened, not only the Hilton family will benefit, but everyone can come and get a piece of the pie at will.

For this reason, he had already ordered him to go down early, and if he encountered the bandits, he quickly caught up with Hilton's convoy and mingled with them. When the time comes, you have me, I have you, you have to fight together, you have to go together.

How do you know that the bandits seem to have expected it a long time ago, and they chose such a terrain and completely separated the two convoys with one move.

There are also capable people in the opposing team.

Just lamented in his heart, but he still pulled himself together and negotiated: "I don't know what is the algorithm for the money to buy the road of the leaders?" ”

The Rat King chuckled: "I see that there are many of you, many horses, and many cars." This toll is not cheap. ”

"How much should that be?" Juszt suppressed his anger, still hoping to talk as much as he could.

"Well, we don't need any money, just leave all the goods on the cart and you can pass. Rest assured, we're credited. I said let you pass, and there will be no more trouble for anyone else to come to you in the future. ”

The Rat King looked like he was "making you cheap".

At the right time, Owen's disastrous voice came from the front: "Masters of the Fontaine family, the time is not early, we still have to hurry, so we will not wait for you." Several leaders are very talkative, you talk slowly, everyone is close and close. Hahahaha! ”

We are caravanserais, not tour groups. The goods are gone, can't the past be sightseeing in Krakow County?

"That's not to talk about!"

Lothar shouted angrily, and without even greeting others, he stepped hard under his feet, and the whole person rose into the air and rushed straight towards the boulder on the stone wall.
