Chapter 81: Dismounting

Early one morning, as soon as the closed city gate was opened, a cavalry team passed through the tall city gate tower and drove away without hurry.

It was the Hilton family team, and the leading boy was the family enshrined in Anthony.

Looking at the direction in which the cavalry left, the early risers were all talking. I don't know what amazing moves this young genius of the Hilton family will have.

A small number of people who knew the content of the settlement agreement between the Hilton family and the Fontaine family looked thoughtfully in the northwest direction, and had a vague answer in their hearts.

This young man, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, wisdom and martial arts cultivation has made his peers desperate, I don't know if he can create a miracle again and solve the problem that the Fontaine family has been troubled for many years in one fell swoop.

Count Silvio's eyes followed closely with the figures of the cavalry, and it was not until they disappeared into the faint morning mist that he turned around and walked back first.

The core members of the family who came to see them off together had serious faces, and they couldn't squeeze out a smile no matter what.

Out of the corner of his eye, he scanned the reactions of the surrounding crowd, and Count Silvio suddenly realized that Anthony's arrangement might also conceal the meaning of protecting the Hilton family.

After a series of events, Anthony's strength and role have been fully proven. Not only did the Hilton family adore him, but the entire city of Edinburgh, both friend or foe, convinced him from the bottom of their hearts.

It can be said that Hilton's biggest deterrent power comes from the worship of this young man who has only joined the family for a year.

If the other nobles know that Anthony has left Hilton, they are afraid that the good situation that has just stabilized will make waves again.

With such an arrangement, people only think that Anthony is going to the newly acquired fiefdom to solve the headaches of the Fontaine family, and there will be no other ideas. By the time the truth of the matter was revealed, months had already passed. At that time, it was time for the Hilton family to develop a new and powerful force.

So scheming, so cautious.

What a terrible and admirable teenager!

……

To the west of the province of Edinburgh, northwest of Edinburgh City, there is a modest mountain range called the Sunset Range.

The Sunset Mountain Range was originally known as the "Falling God Mountain Range", and legend has it that this place was the place where the ancient gods fell.

Of course, a legend is a legend because of its mystery and illusion. Coincidentally, at the beginning of the Sunset Mountains, where the head of the legendary "True God" is located, it was detected to be rich in a very precious metal.

It doesn't matter if the legend is not a legend, the benefit is the most practical.

As a result, this land, which is not vast and the soil is not fertile, has become the target of many forces.

After repeated open and secret battles on the battlefield and at the negotiation table, the Fontaine family became the masters of this land.

Of course, that's not anymore.

"Gotta get ......"

A not-so-dense sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, breaking the silence of the mountain forest. A few tired birds returning to their nests were startled and flew low in circles around the canopy, their crisp cries resounding through the sky.

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow shot out and nailed to the ground not far in front of one of the horses at the front of the cavalry.

Two stout men with muscles all over their bodies holding longbows slowly walked out.

One of them shouted at the cavalry, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

The rider who was running at the front took the reins and shouted, "Bold! We are ......."

A young man in the back slowly stepped forward and waved his hand.

The rider immediately stopped talking, and with the utmost respect he bent down and stepped aside.

The boy drove his horse to the place where the arrow had landed, and stretched out his hand.

The arrows nailed to the ground flew lightly into the boy's hands as if they were being pulled by invisible silk threads.

The two big men who blocked the road saw that the young man showed his hand, and their faces showed surprise.

The boy asked, "Is this the Sunset Mountains?" But the one behind is leaving the village? ”

The two big men looked at each other, and the man who spoke just now replied, "Yes! ”

The young man asked again, "Then are you from the clan?" ”

"Yes!"

The boy asked again, "You really don't know who we are?" ”

The two men looked at each other again and shook their heads at the same time.

"We don't know you."

"Huh." The young man carefully examined the faces of the two of them, and saw that their expressions did not look like fakes, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"It seems that some people don't want us to take over this fief."

The young man suddenly turned his horse's head and said to the riders behind him, "In that case, then we need not be bored. Let's go. ”

"Yes!" Despite the doubts on their faces, the riders were as obedient to the young man's words as if they were gods, and did not hesitate to give up their orders.

"Wait a minute! Please wait a moment! ”

Just as the visitors were about to return the same way, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran over while shouting loudly.

The young man pulled the horse's head and turned back again. Squinted at the middle-aged man and didn't speak.

The middle-aged man ran up to him out of breath and asked, "Excuse me, but Mr. Anthony from the Hilton family?" ”

The young man looked surprised: "Oh, so there are still people here who know about the Hilton family?" ”

A trace of anger flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and then he said embarrassedly, "Mr. Anthony said he was smiling." It was my negligence in my work that I did not explain clearly to these vulgar subordinates in time, and neglected Mr. and others. ”

"Oh~"

Young Anthony rode on his horse and looked at the middle-aged man condescendingly.

"Is it really just a momentary oversight? Don't mean anything else? ”

The middle-aged man's smile became more and more embarrassed: "No, absolutely nothing!" ”

Anthony took out a stack of sheepskin scrolls and threw them into the arms of the middle-aged man.

"Now, go back at once and tell the people above. Let him quickly prepare the affairs of the fiefdom handover, and come to meet us in person. Otherwise, this fief is not wanted by our Hilton family. Let your master take these deeds and return them to the Marquis of Socrates. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly held the scattered scrolls, and finally couldn't suppress his anger.

"Mr. Anthony, you are not qualified to give us orders. We, the Fontaine, signed a settlement agreement with the Hilton, not a surrender to the Hilton. ”

"Really?" Anthony sneered, his voice even colder than the biting cold wind blowing from the far north, "Now we will rest here." Before we get to rest, if your head hasn't come to me. Or later in the handover process, there is anything that I feel unhappy with. Then, the fief will be returned to you. Settlement agreement, null and void! The two of us continue to settle the old accounts that have not been settled before. ”

The middle-aged man was shocked and angry, and his face turned red: "You are not the patriarch, what qualifications do you have to decide that the agreement is invalid." ”

Anthony didn't answer his words, but took the lead in turning over and getting off the horse, and ordered without looking back: "Get off the horse and rest in place!" ”

"Yes!" The riders responded in unison and turned over and dismounted together.

The movements are neat, clean and unobtrusive, and it is clearly a well-trained elite.

It's just that all the riders looked at the middle-aged man with strange eyes, and their expressions were like looking at an idiot.

The middle-aged man's face turned a little pale.

Such an elite must be an extremely important force in any family. can let these arrogant soldiers prohibit them and support them wholeheartedly, and you can imagine the status of the young man in their hearts.

Thinking of some rumors about this genius boy, the middle-aged man's face turned even paler.

Not to mention, it is really possible for this young man to do what he says. What's more, he does have the energy to turn those words into reality.

The pig-headed steward who kills a thousand knives! What's the situation, and I still want to get some kind of dismount.

Now, they are dismounted. But in the next game, I hope you can settle the matter with a pig's head.

The middle-aged man turned around and ran wildly without saying a word.

There were only two thoughts on his mind now: one was to get out of here quickly, to leave this terrible boy; The second is to quickly find the top boss who sent him over, and throw all the hot potatoes in his arms to him.

I'm not going to get involved in this anymore!
