Chapter 143: The Bloody Night of the Kallan Family (2)
"Brother. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Edith looked at the young man, Edith raised his eyebrows slightly, and whispered hello.
Igor, the eldest son of the Count of Rohm, was twelve years older than his sister Edith, a fellow mother, and his face was a little vicissitudes of life after a long period of military experience, revealing a serious temperament that was in the same vein as a Teutonic man, and when he heard this, the latter nodded stiffly, and walked around Edith into the study of Count Rohm.
Listening to the sound of the door closing, Edith sighed softly and turned back to his room.
At this time, Count Rohmon in the study glanced at Igor, and his face couldn't help but flash a touch of surprise, since he announced that Edith was the first heir in line to the family, his son had not come to him, and tonight he could come to talk to him, Rohmin couldn't help but feel a little relieved, after all, this is his own son, and he once pinned on his infinite expectations, as long as there is a slight possibility, he does not want to have a problem with Igor.
Standing up, he took out a bottle of rum and two crystal cups inlaid with an ice-blue magic core from the wine cabinet next to him, and when Luo Men poured the amber wine into the glass, he saw the blue light of the magic core at the bottom of the glass flash, and the wine immediately came out with a cold air.
Smiling and handing one of the cups to Igor, Rohmon chuckled, "You were only six years old when you first came to my study to steal a drink when you were a child, and I remember that you were so young that you weren't even as tall as that desk. ”
A faint smile appeared on his stiff face, and Igor whispered meaningfully: "Yes, although more than twenty years have passed now, I still remember the scene at that time, when you also poured me a glass of rum like today, and after I drank it all in one gulp, you carried me on your shoulders and walked outside into the snow, the winter in Fran City was wet and cold, but that glass of wine made me warm all over, and my head was chaotic, just sitting on your shoulder and shouting something, But I remember when you were happy to say to me that the men of the Kallan family should drink and fight happily, and you have to learn these things well in order to lead the family well, and that's what you said, and that's what I did. ”
"For more than 20 years, I have worked hard to learn swordsmanship, and I have trained hard with the family's private army, just to take on the responsibility of leading the family, but on that day sixteen years ago, my dear sister was born, she was lovely and intelligent, like a beautiful angel, and when she was twelve years old, she showed amazing business talent since she was a child, she was in charge of more than fifty percent of the family's foreign business, and held more than 10 million gold coins in her hands. My dear sister Edith is a business genius, and she will henceforth be the head of the family's business, providing a steady stream of gold for the family's development, but on the night of her birthday, when you revealed at the dinner party that you would appoint Edith as the heir, I, Igor, who had been working hard for twenty years to take over the family, finally woke up. ”
"You are the head of the family, you are the honorable Earl of Calland, and all the affairs of the family are decided by you in one word, but I must say that even you can't erase my twenty years of hard work with a single word, so in any case, please think about the candidate for the heir of the family again!"
With a deep sigh, Count Rohmen took his glass and drank the amber liquor, but the wine that used to be mellow and fragrant tasted particularly bitter today.
"Dear Igor, my child, I must apologize to you for this, you know, more than twenty years ago, when you were five or six years old, there was often friction of varying magnitude on the border between the Duchy and several nearby neighboring countries, and everyone, including the Grand Duke, believed that a protracted war would inevitably occur between the Duchy and several nearby neighbors of similar strength, and that would be the best chance for the men of the Kallan family to make a difference, so I trained you in the strictest militarization, And the hard work and talent you have shown in training is also my greatest pride. ”
"And after so many years of hard training, you have become a powerful warrior, a pure soldier, if during the war years, I have no doubt that you will bring supreme glory to the Kallan family, but in the past ten years, those neighboring countries have either been destroyed by the suzerainty because of their participation in the rebellion or declined because of the civil war, in short, no neighboring country has the strength to invade Watson, and the principality has a peaceful and stable external environment."
"Today's principality is in an era of vanity and glitz, and you are like a sharp sword, simple and upright, this character is extremely popular in the army, but in the upper class of the principality, this character will undoubtedly be strongly rejected by this circle, and Edith is different, her talent is not only manifested in business, but also in the exchange of social skills and interests that our little angels are good at, and at the same time she also maintains a good relationship with the family's most important allies today, the master of the Niclair family, I am confident that under her leadership, the family will be glorified. ”
With a long sigh, Igor whispered, "So, father, is this your final decision?" ”
"Everything I do is for the sake of my family."
Nodding slightly, a look of determination flashed in Igor's eyes, and he bowed and turned to leave the study.
Looking at Igor's departing back, Rohmon let out a long sigh, and his originally straight waist seemed to be much more rickety.
When Igor returned to his room, there were already four elite warriors in full enchanted armor waiting there.
And if Luo Man is here, he can recognize these people as the four sergeant majors in the Kallan family's private army, each of them controls a hundred extremely elite family private troops, and unlike the group of recruits under Luo Yun's command who have not yet cultivated their fighting spirit, these samurai who have received regular army training have at least the strength of intermediate swordsmen, and these four sergeant majors are real high-level swordsmen.
It's just that for the big things they are about to do, the eyes of these family private army leaders can't help but show a trace of hesitation and apprehension.
Taking in the expressions of several people, Igor cleared his throat and said aloud: "We are not betraying the family, but to put the great Karlan back on his rightful track, my father is old, he is no longer fit to be at the helm of the family, we are only here with our allies to ask my father to abdicate, when he will spend his old age in the ancestral land of Fran City, as for my dear sister Edith, since she has a crush on that kid of the Niclair family, I will let her marry her, From now on she will live as a noble lady and a husband and a child, when no one will shed blood, no one will lose their lives, everyone will be happy, and under my leadership, the great Kallan family will regain the glory of the martial nobles, and you, as comrades who fight side by side with me, will become the heroes of the family. ”
These elite warriors, who had been arranged by Count Rohmon to be by Igor's side in his early years, and who had grown up with him, as his cronies, beat their chests with their right fists and shouted in a low voice: "All for the glory of the Kallan family." ”
"Good." Nodding with satisfaction, Igor said in a low voice, "How is the destruction of the family's defensive magic array going?" ”
The only one of the four wearing leather armor with a short sword stuck in his waist was obviously the sergeant major of the thief-type military in the private army of the Karlan family, and said: "The mages on duty have been uniformly imprisoned after being knocked unconscious, and the various nodes in the family's defensive magic array have been completely cut off with the magic gems sent by that group, which is enough to ensure that the defensive magic array cannot take effect." ”
One of the other three sergeant majors also spoke: "The three hundred elites under our command have already controlled all the entrances and exits of the manor, as long as you give the order, no reinforcements will enter the manor." ”
"Very good, you guys, I've always been very relieved." Igor smiled and took out a baby fist-sized gem from his arms, the color was like solidified blood, showing a strange black and red gem, and took a closer look at the gem, Igor was a little nervous, took a deep breath, and crushed it.
Watching the fragments of the blood-colored gem slowly drift away into wisps of blood-colored mist, Igor muttered, "Kallan's path to hegemony will begin tonight!" (To be continued.) )
