Chapter 58: The Choice

In this room, which was somewhat lavishly furnished, but everything was vulgar, and full of cumbersome gold and silverware, William was irritable.

He was already halfway awake from his wine, and he was even more sober at the moment.

After listening to Hussein's account of the decapitation revenge, William became even more irritated and walked around the house.

"Why is he more interested in revenge than I am?" and why does he know that Hastings will help me?" William thought, as he walked around.

Although Hussein has left, William's heart is getting heavier and heavier.

If it was true that there was hatred against Li Mo before, but since the second attack battle, William has regarded Li Mo as an extremely dangerous opponent. Not only does the aggro decrease, but he even regrets that he shouldn't have provoked this opponent.

Because he had already learned his lesson twice and suffered two major losses, this result was enough for him to realize the reality: the human standing on the newly built wall, the young man with a faint smile forever, made William terrified!

The deeper reason is that William realized that this young man named Li Mo had never been afraid of the land of Three Ridges, nor had he ever been afraid of any Baron of Razor Ridge, and he had never been afraid of William's identity.

His appearance was like a mystery, and his terrifying subordinates quickly gathered around him, and he quickly established a tenacious force. It's like a spring thunderstorm, and when the explosion sounds, you realize that the sky has changed.

The reason why William was still afraid was that this Li Mo looked at him like he was looking at a prey that couldn't escape. Although twice he only wanted a ransom, he released William. But William felt that this was because Li Mo was sure enough to catch William many times.

Cat and mouse? No, it's a male lion patrolling the territory, and everything in front of him is prey!

Although William hated this idea, he knew that Li Mo was no longer an opponent he could provoke. Even if he ordered half of the main force of Razor Ridge to attack, led by the three major generals, he couldn't suppress that Li Mo.

William tugged at his hair in pain, panting for breath, and was so annoyed in the room that he wanted to roar and yell, to vent the clogged resentment in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.

Since the two defeats, although Hussein and Hastings have joined forces, the consequences of the fiasco have been suppressed. But William could already see that the attitude of the Baron of Bones was already filled with disgust and disdain.

The Razor Ridge Wolf Clan will never let a loser serve as a lord.

Although most of the baron's children were unsuccessful, William had just emerged and was proud and confident when he was suppressed and stepped on to the end. If you want to turn over again, it is very difficult.

Unless there are a lot of military exploits and glorious feats that are enough to be recited, can the confidence of the White Bone Baron be restored, William's image in the wolf clan can be glorified, and this heir competition can be won.

At this moment, William was either obedient to Hussein's proposal and carried out another revenge plan. or retreat and never be Li Mo's enemy again.

William slapped his face to calm himself down quickly, and even picked up a jug of spring water and poured it on his head.

Military merit! Glory! Authority!

This is something that William desperately needs to fight for.

But is it worth blindly following Hussein and facing that feared opponent again?

Suddenly, what Li Mo once said lingered in William's ears:

“...... I'm getting more and more interested in you, and I really want to make you a friend......"

“...... What if I could give you military merits? a lot of military merits, and even help you build an army, help you secure your successor......"

"There's still a chance, and hopefully you'll change your mind...... Cooperate with me, and you will be propelled to the lordship of Razor Ridge, and you will have an ally of interest and a friend who is willing to cooperate......"

William's eyes flickered with a flickering light, and he was pondering.

Hussein's motives were dubious, and the responsibility for the first two defeats was borne by William. Hussein was not only not implicated, but even purged a group of untamed subordinates and consolidated his power again.

He should know that Li Mo's strength, why did he take a risk?

The decapitation operation is definitely the most extreme operation.

With Hussein's city as a person, he would rather pile up a large army to fight a battle than take this dangerous road. And this dangerous road, as he said, is absolutely certain.

Thinking about Li Mo's side, the uncanny and powerful female adjutant, William was terrified. This enigmatic opponent is unlikely to be killed by the decapitation operation.

And Hussein's "Ring of Defiance", where did it come from? William had never heard of the land of the abyss of eternity. And this also means that behind Hussein, there is an unfathomable hidden background.

"I'm already at a crossroads where I'm faced with a choice, do I continue to trust Hussein and get the most benefit after revenge, or do I trust Li Mo and have the greatest benefit from cooperating with an external ally?"

William thought calmly.

Finally, a fierceness flashed in his eyes.

After making a decision, the whole person is also much easier. William went to the bookcase, took out the key, opened the drawer, and took out a wolf's head letter.

This is Hasting's seal of transfer, which William has kept on his behalf.

William stared at the wolf-headed decree and immediately turned to leave.

...............

Bang bang.

There was a knock in Qiao Xi's private office.

"Come in. ”

Qiao Xi leaned back in the high-backed chair and closed his eyes slightly. There were two beautiful maids squatting beside him, massaging him and relaxing his recent tired and irritable emotions.

As if silent, the scorpion needle pushed open the door and stood at the desk with his head down.

"How's the situation?" Qiao Xi opened his eyes and stared at the scorpion needle.

"Master Qiaoxi, I have already found out that Lin Jie's small organization of the Brotherhood has always maintained a secret connection with William, one of the heirs of Razor Ridge. All supplies were secretly distributed to William. Scorpion Needle said seriously.

"Hmph, as I guessed. Qiao Xi's eyes were scorching, "The battle for the successor of Razor Ridge is about to be revealed. The Iron Horse Brotherhood would bet on William, and it's not stupid. ”

"After searching, Lin Jie may have fled far away from the mountains and forests, and it is difficult to judge the specific injury. In addition, the old Bi of the Iron Horse Brotherhood is also missing, and his whereabouts are unknown. Scorpion continued.

"What's your suggestion?" Qiao asked faintly.

"I will continue to lead the scout battalion and hunt down Lin Jie. And, secretly monitor whether the Iron Horse Brotherhood will still ship. Inform you at any time, whether to seize it, or to swallow the goods under the pretense of werewolves. The scorpion needle figured out what Qiao Xi meant, and said respectfully.

"Hehehe...... It's really a first-time scout officer, you can do it, and provide me with information at any time!" Qiao nodded pleasantly, stroking the maid's hand and smiling.

"Yes. ”

The scorpion needle bowed and quickly left the office.

But his footsteps did not enter the exclusive workshop as usual. Instead, they walked through the sentry box and stealthily on the twisting path. But for a moment, it was like a puff of smoke, and it disappeared without a trace.

An hour later, the figure of the scorpion needle appeared in a certain mountain col.

He was still lurking in the shadows, clutching a thin feather in his hand.

The thorn bushes trembled, and Lin Jie, wearing a disguised gray robe with a masked face, appeared behind the thorn bushes, staring at the scorpion needle.

"Yes, my lord, let me come to see you, Mr. Lin Jie. The scorpion needle said, took out the coat of arms from his arms, and threw it to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie sensed the aura of heraldic breath, threw it back to the scorpion needle after a while, and stared at the scorpion needle suspiciously: "You actually took refuge in Li Mo?

"My lord, I am the greatest and wisest master I have ever met, and it is an honor for me to be able to serve under his command!" said Scorpion Needle, bowing down.

"It's also my Scorpiontail's honor!"

Another figure, like a blurred shadow, floated behind the scorpion needle.

Lin Jie looked at the twins with some stunned eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If the Iron Horse Brotherhood didn't stupidly take refuge in Qiao Xi, but continued to support Li Mo, how good would it be!

It's a pity, stupid people, have picked the wrong terrible opponent! Lin Jie shook his head, calmed his mind, and asked in a low voice, "What is Li Mo's instructions, and what is the next task?"

..........................

Ask for a ticket! yell: "Ask for a ticket, recommend a ticket! ”
