Chapter 144: Hatred
It was already dawn, and Colin returned safely to Remlos Fort with his party.
As soon as he returned, before he could rest, Colin immediately took Vincent who had been tied up and went straight to the castle.
"Colin, you're back! How's it going?
As soon as Murphy heard that Colin was back, he hurried from the study to the living room, only to see Vincent next to Colin.
"Your Highness, allow me to introduce you to the fact that this is my former teammate who I worked with in the Southern Rutherland Fortress, and is now the new patriarch of the Aldrich family. ”
Colin gave Murphy a military salute under Vincent's strange gaze.
"Welcome home, Colin, and welcome, Count Vincent Aldrich!"
Murphy first gave Colin a standard military salute, and then said to Vincent.
"It is my pleasure to meet you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, Murphy Cyrus. ”
Vincent bowed to Murphy Mechanical, with a signature aristocratic smirk on his face, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was forcing a smile.
"I've heard that the Aldrich family has joined the rebels, is it true?" Murphy didn't talk to him much, regardless of whether he was forcing a smile or not, and went straight to the point.
"Your Highness, I think there is a misunderstanding here, I was forced to get involved, my uncle ......"
When Vincent heard the question, a wry smile appeared on his face, he felt that he had been smiling bitterly all the way, and he had to explain helplessly.
"Well, it's true that most of what he said is true, and although there is a few things to hide, it is understandable that you should be cautious about strangers who meet for the first time. Murphy's voice rang out in Carolen's ears.
The Great Lich has been keeping an eye on his situation, and no trace of the Lich can escape the Lich's soul fire scanning, unless it is a combat power or mind resistance greater than or equal to Carolen, or there is a substance on his body that blocks the soul from reading minds, it is almost impossible to avoid this kind of scanning.
With Carolon to help identify the authenticity, Murphy doesn't have to worry about any enemy spies infiltrating the castle, just as no enemy has infiltrated the royal court, and Murphy's small castle is already higher than the counter-espionage specifications of the royal capital.
Every family and every citizen living in Remlos Fort has become Murphy's eyeliner, and once he finds a person, he will report it to the nearest security station as soon as possible, and then hand over the rest to the police.
Moreover, the anti-crime and anti-evil eliminated several underworld organizations that were rampant in Thunderburg after the last war, and the rats did not dare to show their heads, and those spies just wanted to find rats to buy intelligence and had nowhere to buy them.
"Your Highness?" Colin was used to Murphy's sudden daze and distraction, and he wouldn't say anything at all in normal times, but today isn't there anyone else present!
"Sorry, I'm distracted. Well, Count Aldrich, I believe your word, and I will accept you as a member of my realm. Murphy came back to his senses and said to Vincent.
"I would love to promise you, Your Highness. Vincent shook his head again, "But forgive me for not being able to, my family is still in the hands of the tyrant, and if I don't go back, they will be killed by the tyrant." ”
"How long will it be before you're missing before the rebels decide you've escaped or died?" Murphy narrowed his eyes.
"If I don't go back before dark today, I'll be the only one left in our family. ”
Vincent said after a two-second silence.
"Then you don't have to go back, I'll try to wipe out the rebels before it gets dark. ”
Murphy was confident, and Vincent looked suspicious.
He had heard of this prince's unruly and reckless behavior, but he did not expect that he would blow such a big cow in such a thing.
"Your Highness, what you said is a bit exaggerated, isn't it? And I am willing to contact my family and pay you a ransom. Vincent's face was a little ugly.
In fact, he was saying this euphemistically: What are you bragging about here?
"Don't you believe me, then come with me to the front and have a look! As for the ransom, oh, does my Remloth Fort seem to be a place where I am short of money?"
Murphy carried his hands behind his back, and he looked like a tall man.
Vincent sighed when he saw this, he could only give up, sure enough, what kind of lord has what kind of subordinates, he thought that Colin had tied himself back, maybe he would be released by paying a ransom at the lord's level.
They are all raccoon dogs!
"Philip, prepare the car, I'm going to take our newcomers to Rayburg to inspect our troops!"
Murphy shouted at the door, telling Philip to prepare the carriage.
............
The front, the command office of the 1st Guards Division of Fort Remlos.
"You mean, you'd like to join us?"
Simon looked at the guy in front of him with some suspicion.
"Yes, after these two days, I am tired of the war, and I only want to avenge my family now, and then enjoy the remaining hundred years in peace. Lucius let out a sigh of relief.
He is not young, he is already more than a hundred years old this year, but he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties because of his cultivation of Dou Qi.
Lucius, who had sworn to take the head of the Leviathan, had been paralyzed by the mine.
Trapped in a minefield for two days, he is now tired of war and no longer wants to experience hunger.
If it weren't for the killing of family members.
"Well, I respect your choice, but before I do that, I want to ask you a few questions, and I ask you to answer them truthfully. ”
Simon sat up, looking formal.
"Your Excellency Simon, as long as it does not involve privacy and family interests, I will answer truthfully. ”
Seeing Simon formalize, Lucius also looked serious.
"First question, why did you join the rebels?"
"I was forced to be coerced in because of my family, and if I didn't join, my family would be killed by them, and I had no choice. ”
"Okay, second question, how did you deal with your vows?"
"Actually, basically every nobleman in the rebel camp is a rebel army who is forced to join, in order not to affect our combat effectiveness, Haraus did not force us to betray the oath, but used his family to control us, but because our hearts are all towards the kingdom, and we have not done anything hurtful, so the oath did not turn against us. ”
"That's good, next question, why are you going to take refuge with us?"
"In fact, there is a rule in the rebel army, if the noble general does not return to the barracks within thirty-six hours to report, he will kill his entire family, and eighty percent of my family has been killed now, so I simply join you to avenge my family, and then I will never participate in the war again. ”
Lucius's eyes were filled with emotion, anger, sadness, and hatred.
"I'm sorry, Lord Lucius. ”
Simon said apologetically.
"You don't have to, Sir Simon. ”
Lucius waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't care.
