Inside the Lord's Palace.

In the hall, there are many people sitting around at this moment, including old and weak women and children, children, maids and maids, and young men and women. The old lord's several women had given birth to several batches of children, and Haken was only one of them, and many of his brothers and sisters had already become families, and the look on his face was embarrassed at the moment.

Just now, the old butler hurriedly walked in, and the final result had been announced, and the hundred heavy cavalry were all wiped out.

This means that the Lord's Mansion has ushered in the end of the world, and some children who are still in swaddling clothes are crying, which sets off the atmosphere well.

Haken pushed open the door, gave everyone a cold look, and walked quickly through the hall towards the interior of the Lord's Palace.

The old butler hurriedly followed, and his old face was wrinkled like a crumpled piece of waste paper: "Young master, the enemy is outside, what should we do now?" Do you want to evacuate? ”

"Evacuate? Look at the rest of these people now, which one is not counting on the parasite of the Lord's Mansion to live? Do you think that with our speed, Lin Yang will not be able to catch up with us? With a sneer, Haken said, "Now there is only one last way left, go directly to the communication room!" Lin Yang wants to destroy me, it's good, I've never been afraid of death, but even if it's death, I'll pull him into the water! ”

"I see." Nodding, before leaving the hall, the old butler glanced back one last time, and those who sat in the hall and waited to die seemed to have become the most miserable and poor creatures.

……

In front of the hospital.

Lin Yang, Lily, Anna, Brain Eater, and Simon stood under the big iron gate.

"Who's on?" Lin Yang raised his eyes and looked at the big iron gate.

"I'm on!" Simon, the half-orc berserker, roared, jumped out suddenly, jumped high, and the two-handed giant hammer in his hand burst out with dazzling light, and smashed down with a fierce hammer!

While!

With a loud bang, the big iron door caved deeply, and the crack in the door instantly expanded, but it still did not collapse.

"His grandmother's, this is really two hits!" Simon shook his numb hands, rushed forward again, raised the hammer in both hands, and smashed it down again!

With a loud bang, the big iron gate fell.

Behind the door, a dozen servants stood not far away, bending their bows and arrows, and a rain of arrows shot towards Simon!

"It's just a few little crumbs, and it's not enough to hurt Lao Tzu!" Simon looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, not dodging at all, rushing towards those servants, bows and arrows raining down on him, as a half-orc berserker, born with thick skin and thick flesh, amazing defense, most of the bows and arrows were sent flying by two-handed giant hammers, even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they only scratched the skin, and did not cause any fatal injuries at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several servants hurriedly drew the broadsword and long sword at their waists, but unfortunately Simon had already rushed to the front, and what was waiting for them was the merciless smashing of the two-handed giant hammer.

A few minutes later, five merfolk burst in, crossed the garden, and kicked open the door to the hall.

Seeing all the family members and servants waiting in the hall uneasily, Lin Yang couldn't help but be stunned, then glanced at the audience and asked, "Where is Haken?" ”

No one spoke, and many were too frightened to come out.

"I ask again, where is Haken?!" Lin Yang deliberately raised his voice.

The babies and children cried louder, and some timid and frightened girls and maids couldn't help crying, and the scene was chaotic.

Looking at these people who were waiting to be killed, Lily couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I'm here to watch, you go in and search!" ”

Nodding, Lin Yang took the lead and walked towards the depths of the mansion.

The remaining three followed.

……

Deep in the Lord's Palace, in a communications room.

A few high-purity magic crystals were placed into the fixed groove, and the light blue light lit up, and the ultra-long-range magic communication device was activated, and a figure appeared above the device.

This is an old man in a purple cloak, with a white beard and a fierce expression, not angry and arrogant.

"Lord Haken in Lower Creekwood, meet the Wellington House Elders!" Haken clenched his hands into fists and said, and the old butler behind him also bowed.

Strictly speaking, whether it is Ximu Town or Xiaoshi Village, they are all within the territory of the Wellington family, one of the sixteen wealthy families, although the federal court also has the right to intervene in any territorial war, but it is still the best option to report directly to the direct superior.

The purple-robed old man touched his long beard and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiao Haken, we are deeply sympathetic to your father's death, what's the matter, did the new official run into any trouble when he took office?" ”

"Report to the Elder, someone is attacking my mansion!" Haken said without humility or arrogance: "And there is no war letter in advance, it is a bad sneak attack!" ”

Regarding the war letter, this is an unwritten rule of the Holy Federation, if a territorial war breaks out between lords, the war must be issued in advance, otherwise it can only be regarded as a malicious attack, no matter how bright the fight is, it will still be sanctioned by the federal court. And once the war letter is issued, even if the worst means are used, it is within the scope of legality.

"Is there such a thing?!" The purple-robed old man stood up suddenly: "Although the lord can only be regarded as a small title, but your father was conscientious and paid the land tax on time every year, who is so bold that he dares to secretly attack you?" ”

"It's a little knight in the Lower Lord's Domain, named Lin Yang! And the strength that this guy carries has completely exceeded the upper limit, according to the observation below, he has at least two hundred soldiers under his command! The maximum number of leaders of a knight is only ten! Haken said indignantly.

"Another malicious attack, and another military force exceeding the upper limit of the knighthood, these two are serious crimes, and they add up enough to sentence him to death twice! Lin Yang ......" The purple-robed old man said slowly: "Very good, I remember, when the federal court reacts too slowly, the old man will immediately send someone to assist you, no matter what, you have to hold out until the reinforcements arrive!" ”

"Yes!" Haken snapped and turned off the ultra-remote magic communicator, then turned around slowly.

He knew very well that it was too late to wait for reinforcements, and he was in danger of being doomed tonight.

At this time, Lin Yang, Brain Eater, Anna, and Simon had also come to the door.

"Young master, run quickly, the old man will help you block them!" As he spoke, the old butler drew a small sword and rushed forward.

The brain-eater opened his mouth, and a dark straw suddenly spat out of his mouth, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, clicking, directly into the old butler's head, and the miserable white brain was constantly sucked over.

The old butler fell down weakly.

"Who did you just notify?" Lin Yang said coldly.

"You want to know?" Haken smiled: "Anyway, you won't let me go, it doesn't hurt to tell you, I have already told the Wellington family your news, in the end, the area of tens of thousands of square kilometers in this area is under the jurisdiction of the Wellington family, whether it is a knight or a lord, they are all small characters in front of the sixteen giants!" Are you scared now? What if you kill me? What can you do if you level my lord's house? Brookwood Town will not fall into your hands in the end, you will not be promoted to Lord, and what awaits you will be a terrifying totem knight! ”

"One of the sixteen giants, the ghost knight ......" Lin Yang almost gritted his teeth, his expression became more and more cold.

"Do you want to kill him?" Anna asked.

"Don't bother you to do it!" As he spoke, Haken drew a dagger and slashed it directly through his neck, causing blood to splatter and fall to the ground.

"Hey." Looking at Haken's corpse, Lin Yang sighed: "I finally understand why the old lord passed the title to him, but it's a pity that he ran into me." ”

All four bowed their heads in silence at the same time.

Lin Yang would never be polite to an opponent who begged for mercy, but no one expected that Haken was actually a hard bone and would rather die than give in. From this point of view, Haken is already qualified enough to be Lin Yang's opponent, for the strong, the necessary respect is still needed, and desecrating the corpse will only depreciate his own value.

Walking out of the communication room, several people came to the backyard warehouse, pushed open the door and saw that the warehouse was empty, almost nothing.

"This ......" Anna was a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say in frustration: "The old lord lived a luxurious life during his lifetime, and thought that he had left a large amount of property, but now it seems that he spent all the money before he died!" ”

"Hey, this battle is too bad, not only did it consume two hundred brood creations, but in the end, it didn't get any oil and water!" Simon was also fooled.

"No, it can't be, there must be something missing!" Lin Yang touched his chin and suddenly said, "Go to the hall!" ”

Back in the hall again.

"Chief, what about these people?" Simon asked.

"Let them go, there is no second Haken in this group, and it poses no threat to us."

So the crowd began to scatter and flee, and in an instant the hall was empty, Lin Yang keenly caught something, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said to an elderly woman: "Don't go!" ”

The old woman stopped.

"If I remember correctly, you're the one who has been in the Lord's Mansion the longest time apart from that old butler." Lin Yang said, "Tell me, where is the old lord's vault?" ”

"What vault?" The old woman said resignedly.

"Don't expect to get away with it, it's the old lord's fortune left to Haken!" Lin Yang said sharply: "The old lord was full of profit during his lifetime, and all the knight territories that could be sold in the surrounding areas were sold out, and he must have left a large amount of property, territory construction, armament expansion, which one doesn't need money?" What father in the world does not think about his son's future? ”

"I don't know, I really don't know!" The old woman's head shook like a rattle, still denying it.

"It looks like it's time to do it, though I'm very reluctant to torture such an old man." Rolling up his cuffs, Lin Yang took out his twin daggers and walked towards the old woman.

After a few moments, the old woman collapsed in a pool of blood and finally pulled a glittering key from her bosom.

"Where?" Lin Yang lowered his head and asked.

"Study ......" spat out these two words, and the old woman finally breathed.

……

It was a nondescript study with only a row of modest bookshelves against the wall.

Most of them were books about politics and war, and many of them were so old that apparently few people turned them over.

There was a wall, bare, without any ornamentation, and without any furniture.

Several people were tapping on the wall, and Lily suddenly exclaimed, "Here! ”

Everyone immediately gathered around, Lin Yang suddenly punched out, the wall shattered, and a dark grid appeared, with a keyhole in it. Inserting the golden key into it, it twisted slowly, only to hear a click, and the wall opened in response, revealing the scene inside.

Everyone was stunned.

In the secret room, there is a whole pile of gold bars the size of a table!

"It's been sent, it's been sent, it's been sent thoroughly!" Simon immediately pounced on it, and gave a big bear hug to such a large pile of gold bars, as if he was holding a female orc.

The rest of the people also smiled knowingly.

Picking up a gold bar and weighing it, and then looking at such a large amount, Lin Yang said with a smile: "According to preliminary estimates, there should be one million gold coins converted into them." ”

One million, although not much, is definitely a lot, at least it has become the starting capital of Linyang's westbound road plan.

"Well......" Touching his chin, Lin Yang said slowly: "Everyone has merit in this battle, in this way, this pile of gold bars is divided into five equal parts, and everyone takes one!" ”

"This ......" suddenly some people were embarrassed, after all, the real credit is still those zerg warriors of the brood, without those warriors, this battle would not be so easy, and the brood only recognizes Lin Yang as the master, so it is almost certain that Lin Yang has made eighty or ninety percent of his strength.

"Don't be ashamed, there is still meat to eat, and if you take it late, you won't have to drink the soup." As he spoke, Lin Yang waved his sleeves and put the equivalent amount of gold bars of 200,000 gold coins into the package.

Seeing this, the remaining four people immediately pounced.

A moment later.

The sky is deep blue, and the east is gradually white, and dawn is approaching.

On the horizon, the five of them rode their horses and slowly rushed to the forward base. Behind the five people, the Lord's Mansion was in flames, the houses collapsed one after another, and crackling sounds continued to be heard.

"Everyone." On horseback, Lin Yang suddenly said in a loud voice: "Now that it has reached a critical moment, the people of the Wellington family may rush over at any time, and no one knows whether it is an ordinary army or a totem knight waiting for us." But one thing is for sure, and that is to seize all the time to run! The Westbound Road plan must be carried out; The place of turmoil and strife is also the place where we can show our strength! Holy Federation, one day we will come back, and come back with an army with no end in sight, so that those rich nobles will no longer dare to bully us! ”

A few people couldn't help but raise their arms and shout, when they were young and frivolous, everyone would be righteous and proud.

However, none of them could have imagined how rough and tortuous the road awaited them would be.
