Section 218 Crisis

The Count of Champagne stood on the watchtower of the castle, his eyes fixed in the direction of the Duchy of Burgundy, and behind him stood the Count's chief of court spies, who seemed to be reporting something to the Count.

"That's enough, don't tell me about your plans, I just need one thing." Suddenly, the head of the Count of Champagne would not interrupt him, and the Count's tone was quick and decisive.

"What is it?" The spy leader asked, puzzled.

"All I need is the Duke of Burgundy's head." The Count of Champagne gritted his teeth and turned his head to his courtiers.

"Please rest assured, my monarch, if the duke is usually in a heavily guarded castle, our spies can't do anything, but now that they have carelessly walked out of the castle, you will definitely hear the duke's obituary." The spy leader straightened his back and assured the Count of Champagne.

"Yuge, this bastard, dared to castrate my son, I must not spare him." The Count of Champagne clenched his fists, Francis was his most valued heir, the original marriage with the Princess of Burgundy made Francis in Champagne a lot more prestigious, if they could give birth to an heir normally, then they would be able to inherit the County of Champagne and the Duchy of Burgundy at the same time, but now everything is in vain.

The Duke of Burgundy did not seem to be aware of the spies lurking in the forest, and he and his family were enjoying a pleasant hunt, with young nobles chasing their prey in the woods, and even competing with each other for the first place, with some innocuous horseback fights inevitable.

"Hey, Laurie Ferdinand, where are you?" A nobleman wearing a red and white feathered hat, riding a horse with his hound, and a string of rabbits hanging from one side of his mount, it seems that although he did not hit a large animal such as a bear, he also gained a lot, but he was inadvertently separated from his servant. And another of his companions also disappeared.

"Wang~~." At this time, the noble's hound barked wildly at the bushes, and from time to time let out a low roar, and the nobleman hurriedly put his bow and arrows on his hand, kicked his mount with his heel, and walked towards the bushes.

"Gales. What do you see, is it a bear? The nobleman said curiously to his dog.

"Whew~~." Suddenly, the head of a stag peeked out of the bushes, and the nobleman breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not a ferocious beast, he could cope with it alone.

"Hey, baby come here, I'll treat you well." After breathing a sigh of relief, the nobleman couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, if he could take down this stag. Even if he didn't hunt a bear, it would be enough to show his face in front of the duke.

"Squeak~~." The nobleman jumped from his horse, and he cautiously bent forward, and with the sound of a bowstring being pulled away, he aimed at the stag that looked like a branch.

"Whoosh~~." Suddenly, the stag man hiding in the bushes stood up, and the nobleman was so frightened that he forgot to release his arrow, and there was a whoosh sound of breaking through the air.

"Oh~~." I saw a crossbow bolt nailed straight into the throat of the nobleman. Blood erupted from the nobleman's mouth, and the bow in his hand fell to the ground. I couldn't help but reach out and cover my throat, blood flowed down my throat, and the nobleman's mouth made a terrible sound of drinking.

"Brush." The stag came out of the bushes, and it was then that the nobleman realized that it was a man disguised as a deer with a deer's head, and he had a crossbow in his hand.

"Deal with him." Out of the woods came several men with green grass tied. One of the big men commanded the man disguised as a deer.

"Yes." The man disguised as a deer drew the dagger at his waist, strode over, grabbed the nobleman's head and shook it a few times, and slashed it with the dagger.

"Wow~~." And before the nobleman's dog could bark, he was shot by the cross bow in the hand of the big man. A whimper came out of his mouth and he collapsed in a pool of blood.

"The Duke is in the clearing." The man with charcoal ash on his eyes said to the leader.

"Surrounded by the past, the Earl ordered that he must be killed." The leader reached out and beckoned to the left and right, and the sound of brushing sounded from the grass on either side of the woods.

Arold looked at the red wine, his thoughts had drifted into the distance, and he came to the Duchy of Burgundy to design and prepare funds, on the one hand, he really thought that he was more sure to go out in person, and on the other hand, the reason was hidden in Arold's heart, that is, Princess Josie's misunderstanding of him, which made Arold feel a little frustrated.

"Arrod, what are you thinking?" Harvey wore a long brown dress, and as Arold's "wife" at this time, she was also given the opportunity to attend, and mingled among the noble ladies, although Harvey was clearly not used to the atmosphere.

"How's our business going?" Arold looked around with his glass, and when no one noticed, he said to Harvey.

"It's arranged, Cashbox and Miss Shirley have already been arranged by the brotherhood, and they got into the carriage and left first. When the nobles return with their prey, we can take advantage of the opportunity to leave. Harvey said to Arold.

"Yes, it's time for us to go, the Duke of Burgundy's spy chief is already suspicious of me, if I don't leave, I'm afraid there will be an accident, fortunately there is a cover for this hunt." Arold nodded with satisfaction, Harvey is not a proud spy leader, she is really neat and tidy.

"Speaking of Green, though, he did send some people to follow us." Harvey gently brushed his hair with his hand and said to Arold.

"Oh?" Arold's brows furrowed, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the Duke of Burgundy's side, Green, who was talking to another courtier of the Duke of Burgundy, as if he sensed Arold's gaze, he turned his head and smiled at Arrod.

"Rest assured, his people have been put down by us, hehe." Harvey reached out to cover his lips, those Burgundian spies were really vulnerable.

You must know that the members of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops are all trained by Harvey, and it is completely a ruthless competition mode, as well as an elimination system, every member of the Brotherhood knows that staying in the Brotherhood, he and his family can get the best care in Mecklenburg, so they have to work hard to train themselves, in comparison, the spies of the Burgundians are just young masters or villains.

"It's weird." Arold said to Harvey.

"What's wrong?" Harvey asked.

"It's been too long to hunt, isn't it?" Arold said with a strange feeling.

"What's so strange about this, who doesn't know that the duke is recruiting a son-in-law, those young nobles are all in good spirits, like a stag in estrus." Harvey said.

"But it's strange that no one has returned." Arold felt the slightest bit wrong, and Harvey was alerted by Arrod's reminder, and they looked into the surrounding woods, instinctively aware of the dangerous aura, which had been cultivated by the perennial fighters on the battlefield, while the Burgundian nobles were unaware of the pleasure in the camp.
