Chapter XXVIII: Conversation at the Earl's Court

Ten days later, the royal capital, the residence of Count Cassikud

In the Earl's study, the Count had just finished his meal and was meeting with great interest a guest, a very important guest who did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sitting opposite the Count was a gray-haired old man, who looked to be in his late teens, and was in a state of aggrieved spirit, and who spoke with a weak voice, as if he were about to die at any moment, but there was not a single person who knew the inside story who did not fear him. He was the king of the Assassins, the legendary Master Assassin Tiberon.

"It's a great honour for me that the Master of Action is willing to come out in person," said the Earl, smiling

What the earl said is not wrong, although this master usually does not see the light, but he is also the guest of honor of the major nobles of the royal capital, once a person reaches a certain realm, then everything will be invincible, especially assassins, once there are assassins to the strength of the legendary level, then even this kind of unsightly profession will be flocking to it.

All kinds of nobles have many enemies, and they all have political enemies who want to get rid of them quickly, so this kind of assassin is undoubtedly a sought-after existence even among the major nobles.

Especially for the territorial officials who are in cahoots with the king, such nobles cannot be eliminated by conventional means, then this kind of legendary assassin is the most suitable candidate.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, people are old, and occasionally moving their muscles and bones is not a bad thing for the body. Besides, I met a lot of young people who amazed me this time, and it was worth the trip. The old man Taberon said lazily.

"Does the gentleman mean Cecil?" The Count laughed.

"I don't know their names, but a paladin, a dragon warlock, and a necromancer. They are all talents with great potential, and the future is limitless. The old man said slowly.

Andy and Cecil went to inspect the territory of the Earl knows, when it comes to the dragon warlock, the count doesn't care, but when it comes to the necromancer, the earl's eyes widen in shock, necromancer? How can there be a necromancer?

"Sir, how can there be necromancers in Kent?" The Earl hurriedly asked, there was already an anxious and urgent look in his words, the appearance of a necromancer is not a trivial matter, and the appearance of a necromancer in his own territory is not a good thing for him in any way.

"Your acting officer Henry is also a genius, thinking that you will find someone to assassinate him, and it is really difficult for an acting officer to hire too strong troops to protect himself, so he asked the necromancers in Dia Valley for help." The old man suddenly stretched and said disdainfully.

It wasn't surprising that Henry, the stupid pig, thought so, but there seemed to be no need for Deya to protect him, and I couldn't think of anything he could come up with to make Deya's heart move. If he goes too far, such as killing the subjects of the realm by openly killing the subjects of the realm to make the undead, then it is tantamount to rebellion, and the king will not let him go first," said the Earl.

The old assassin Tybron shook his head: "Then you are underestimating your acting officer, his territory has something that makes him happy, and there is no need to kill the living, and it can be secretly handed over to the undead, and it doesn't need too many people." “

"What do you mean?" The Count wondered, and suddenly he remembered something, "Could it be .........?"

"Lord Count has finally remembered that your ancestral tomb is still under the jurisdiction of Wharton? When I went, the coffin of your brilliant ancestor was in the small living room in the backyard of Henry's mansion. ”

Despite some guessing and being mentally prepared, the Earl was still furious by the news, "Henry, you bastard, you dare!! ”

"Don't worry, Earl, I killed 3 of the 4 horror knights who mixed in, and the remaining one was killed by the little friend you sent, and the other necromancer was also injured by me, I saw him escape from Henry's mansion with my own eyes, and I didn't kill him because I have always admired this kind of capable young man, and I am also very optimistic about his future." The Earl smiled and immersed himself in the memories of that day, and compared to this, Henry's head on the table seemed to have been cut off by hand.

The Earl was slightly shocked, Cecil and Andy were able to kill a terrifying knight who was at least an 8th-order force He didn't expect it, after all, both of them were only in the early 3rd order, but they were more glad, because if the remains of their ancestors were made into death knights by Diya, then how could the Earl have the face to continue to mix in the royal capital.

"Thank you for helping the ancestors protect the body in time, I am really grateful, please take the agreed 1 million gold coins, this is a small reward you deserve." As he spoke, the Count handed out a small box, which contained a full 100 magic diamonds, which were definitely worth more than 1 million gold coins.

"I'll take the money, but I don't know if your ancestors' bodies can be saved." Tybron is back in a state of laziness.

"What's wrong? Is there something unexpected? The Earl was shocked again, and asked hurriedly

"The undead are determined to get this corpse, when I went out of the city, I happened to see an undead army daring to Wharton City, it is really a skeleton army, although this army is very single, but in terms of the defense force of Wharton City, I am not very optimistic." There was already an element of banter in Tybron's words.

"An army of the undead? How could they possibly reach the interior of the kingdom through the defense zone of the Shield Paladin, and if they attacked the city, would the Shield Paladins be completely wiped out? "The Earl is in a big surprise this time, Dia's necromancer is attacking the kingdom, and it is likely that a full-scale war between the kingdom and Diya will break out, which is a big event.

"That's not it, as the only regular army in the south of the kingdom, the Knights of the Shield are second to none in combat effectiveness, and 10% of the troops there are paladins of the Temple of Dawn, except for the King's Guard, there are almost no troops with such a high proportion of Temple professionals. But the problem is a small section of Henry's defense, you know.

"Understood, Henry, that bastard, but sending a few terrifying knights to steal the corpse and sending a large army to rob the corpse are not the same concept at all, the former humiliates me personally at most, and the latter humiliates the entire kingdom. Even if it is not cost-effective to attack the undead lord of Diya now, the kingdom will send troops to attack the undead lord for the sake of glory afterwards. When the time comes, that undead lord has enemies who are also undead inside, and the overall revenge of the kingdom outside, does he really not think about the consequences? The Count's words grew harsher.

"Hehe, Lord Earl is really knowingly asking, now the war kingdom between the north and the orc kingdom has mobilized 200,000 troops, and the demon gate kingdom also has 100,000 troops on defense, although the war with the El Luk Empire has ended, but the state of distrust between the two sides still exists, and at least 50,000 soldiers are needed to defend each other, where do you think there are mobile troops in the kingdom to attack Diya? In fact, it is because there is only one Shield Paladin Order on the southern line of the kingdom now, but it has to defend the 300-kilometer border with Diya, and the troops are really stretched, so they have to hand over a small section of the defense line to the acting officials of the lords to assist in the defense, so did this incident occur? "Although this old man is an assassin, he seems to know a lot about the military and political situation in the kingdom.

The earl didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, in fact, the earl didn't know about the current situation of the kingdom, but he still had a glimmer of hope, I have to say that this Lord Diya was very smart and chose a good time to march, although it seems that the troops attacking Wharton City are not very strong, but the earl of Wharton City's city defense is also well aware, plus the acting officer is dead and the dragons are leaderless, it is almost impossible to block an undead army.

If the Shield Paladins received the news that they wanted to return to Wharton City, it would take at least 3 days, and I am afraid that not only would the bodies of their ancestors have already been transported back to Diya, but even the people of Wharton City would be killed. Thinking of this, the Count also broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing the Earl's anxious appearance, Tybron didn't say anything more but offered to leave, the Earl was actually still dissatisfied with Tyberon, as a legendary, if he stayed in Wharton City to help stay and retreat from the enemy, the undead troops in front of him would never have been able to attack Wharton City. But the Earl would never dare to say such a thing to Tyburon, first, the contract only wrote that he killed Henry and did nothing else, in fact, Tyburon's character killed a few terrifying knights and was already a big gift to himself; Rather, this assassin's personality is indeed eccentric, and he is afraid that he will annoy this master again and lose his favor out of thin air.

In the end, the earl had to compliment Tyburon and send him away, after Tyburon left, the earl was immediately as anxious as an ant on a heat pipe jumping up and down, the key is that he didn't know what the situation was in Wharton City now, under normal circumstances, it would take 20 days to get from here to Wharton City, and Tyberon could come back from there in 10 days, but after ten days, the situation there may have been turned upside down, and Wharton City may be ransacked by the undead, The legendary bones of his ancestors, a symbol of glory, could be made into Death Knights, and the thought of these counts makes one feel anxious.

He immediately sent for his daughter, who came to his study a few minutes later.

"Ophelina, gather all the private forces we can gather now, and go to Wharton City with me." The Earl said.

"Isn't that Henry's parendum? Daddy, didn't you send Cecil and them to do things? Ophelina said puzzled.

"Don't worry about Cecil, except for big things in Wharton City, gods willing, the worst must not happen."
