On the continent of Acacia, even if betrayal has become commonplace in the future, at least for now, loyalty is still a noble quality that is praised by people, and the old count, as the former "lion of Savoy", is naturally regarded as orthodox, and these so-called enemies, their allegiance is not Matthew, but the orthodox count of Savoy.

That is, if it can be proved that Matthew is a usurper and Caesar is orthodox, then these enemies can also turn against Caesar at any time and throw themselves into the arms of Caesar?

Of course, Belea's move out of this edict is out of kindness and does not want to add meaningless killings, but from a political point of view, isn't this a clever move? Even if you kill this group of soldiers, it will only add to the corpses.

But if these soldiers are let go, they will naturally make the matter of the edict public. You know, no matter what world you are in, there are a few things that are the most difficult to control, and one of them is the human tongue.

Once such rhetoric spreads, then Matthew's legitimacy will naturally be questioned, challenged, and even shaken. In the future, although Caesar only occupies the territory of Marseille, he is the real Count of Savoy, and with his prestige, he can still barely compete with Matthew, who occupies the territory of Turin and Cadelzan.

Bellia put away the edict, rolled it carefully, then wiped away her tears, and sincerely persuaded: "Matthew doesn't know how many innocent lives he has buried in order to catch his own sister, and is it worth it for you to sacrifice for such a person?" ”

The enemy was silent.

Is it worth it?

It's not that these soldiers can't afford to pay with their lives, but they know what they're fighting for. They need to know whether they are fighting for the rightful count of Savoy or for a usurper who is ruthless to his relatives.

If the earls to whom they are loyal turned out to be the latter, then they would rather choose to give up.

The enemy's gaze showed hesitation, and his actions were a little wavering, but he never retreated. Although Belea's words shook the enemy's mind, but just because of this, she wanted the enemy to retreat? Hehe, this ability to negotiate does not exist in reality.

Looking at the obsessive approaching enemy, Spider Ji couldn't help but let out a sigh of pity, she whistled, and the five secondary demons climbed on the tunnel wall and pounced directly on each other's bodies!

With a miserable and fierce wail, the two soldiers in front were thrown directly to the ground, and the flesh and blood on their bodies were gnawed one bite after another, and the sound of this chewing was so eerie that people shuddered to hear.

And immediately after, Don Quixote stabbed out with a sword, directly piercing the chests of the other two enemies!

In the darkness of the tunnel, the soul fire in Don Quixote's eyes reflected the great sword in his hand, showing the appearance of the sword... It was, the Night Shadow, which had been Robert's sword, but now it was in Don Quixote's hands.

"See? This is Robert's saber. Now that Robert has been killed by me, do you think you will be more powerful than him? ”

Of course not.

The enemy's eyes were fierce as he stared at the dark shadows of the night in Don Quixote's hands, and his eyes showed fear and panic.

Warmth and kindness may touch people's hearts, but this is a battlefield, where only blood and killing can keep the enemy back.

In the face of such a strong and unsympathetic Spider and Don Quixote, the enemies who were afraid in the dark looked at each other, and finally chose to evacuate.

…

And the other side.

Matthew stood at the east gate of Turin, looking out into the darkness in the distance, and for so long, his face finally showed a smile of triumph.

Yes, although he was not able to kill Caesar, he had received the old count's dictated edict, and as long as this edict was present, then his legitimacy as Count of Savoy could be guaranteed. In addition, if we want to meet again in the future, Matthew already has the territory of Cadelzan, and tonight's coup d'état took control of Turin, and with the economy and troops of the two cities, against Caesar, who only occupies one city in Marseille, it will undoubtedly have the upper hand.

Just when Matthew was in a good mood, a soldier stepped forward and reported at an inopportune time: "Report to Lord Earl, it has now been confirmed that Robert was killed in battle, and the murderer is unknown." In addition, the little princess Belia escapes under the protection of some mysterious characters. ”

When he heard the news of Robert's death in battle, Matthew's body trembled uncontrollably. He slowly turned his head and looked at the soldier who had reported the news, his bloodshot eyes overflowing with disbelief. He grabbed the other party's collar, roared like a beast, and said hysterically, "Robert is the strongest warrior under my command, how could he die?" How could he die? Did you see it with your own eyes? Has anyone seen it with their own eyes? ”

The soldier who reported the news lowered his head, not daring to look Matthew in the eye. He said timidly, "I'm sorry, I didn't witness Robert's sacrifice, but according to the front-line soldiers, Lord Robert is indeed dead, because they saw Robert's sword: Night Shadow in the hands of a mysterious knight next to the little princess." ”

"Shadows of the Night?!" Matthew closed his eyes in some pain when he heard the name.

Although he hates to admit it, Robert is just dead.

The strongest warrior under his command, the best butcher knife, was broken.

"Who are the mysterious people around Belia?" Matthew raised his head and asked coldly.

"It's not known yet, but one of them's voice is a lot like the necromancer Gadoth who shines on a hunt."

"Gauldoth... Gaudos—" Matthew kept repeating the name, and asked, "Is there any other good news?" ”

"Don Quixote is dead."

Matthew's face softened. He turned his head and glanced at Adams, the chief of staff, and Adams's eyes were like a bottomless abyss.

It can be said that the reason why this coup was successful was that Adams made all the plans, from the marriage of the Medis family, to the entire troop allocation, and finally the sudden mutiny, taking the city of Turin in one fell swoop, all in his plan.

The only thing he didn't count was Denisha.

If it weren't for the smiling Denisha who forced the news from Matthew's marriage partner, Maria's lover, then tonight, no one would be spared, whether it was Caesar, Belia, or Gaudus, or Don Quixote.

The last time he murdered Belia to blame Caesar, Adams contributed his wisdom and almost succeeded, this time the coup d'état, which succeeded in killing the old count and taking the city of Turin, he devised a conspiracy that was almost unsolvable.

Not only is Matthew vs. Caesar in politics and military, Don Quixote vs. Robert's fateful duel, but even Adams and Dinisha are endlessly fighting for wisdom and scheming. And this time, it is clear that Matthew won, Adams won, and although Robert died, Don Quixote was also forced to become a heroic spirit who was neither human nor ghost.

But Caesar, too, did not lose, nor did Denisha.

The first Ringdon Quixote has been born, and Spider Queen has been promoted to Spider Lady, and a new chapter is about to begin.

Volume 1, Turin Chaos, end.

The second volume, The Necromancer's Hibernation, begins.
