Chapter 59: Assassination

Over the next few days, Willy spent the mornings learning words with Mr. Hudier and fencing with Ole in the afternoons. Both Hugh Dill and Ole were highly appreciative of the talent and diligence that Willy had shown.

During this period, Bamos also brought news about the snow deer, and since the change from the food of the snow deer to meat, the snow deer eat more and more often. But it is a pity that the snow deer still did not have a good impression of the baron, and there was no sign of surrender.

In this regard, Willy has no way, his intermediate beast trainer ability can only produce an affinity bonus to bronze-level monster cubs, and has no effect on adult monsters. As for helping the baron to domesticate the snow deer, it is even more impossible to do.

Night.

Willy finished the day's study, and after taking a hot bath, was already in bed ready for bed.

Just a little sleepy, Willy suddenly heard a loud roar from inside the house.

"All the members of the pro-soldiers! fully armed! all assembled! immediately, immediately!"

In an instant, the originally quiet accommodation of the pro-military department suddenly became in turmoil.

When Willy heard the sound of the assembly, his sleepiness instantly subsided.

In the past few days since he came to the pro-military department, he has never seen such an urgent matter in the pro-military department.

Without hesitation, Willy got up and changed out of his pajamas, then put on his custom-made light armor and put on his helmet. Because the assembly order said that he was fully armed, Willy also wore the cross sword at his waist, and also clutched the spear in the hands of each of his soldiers.

He quickly went downstairs and saw that the crowd was all gathering in the direction of the training ground.

Seeing this, Willy also followed his own soldiers.

"Captain Morion, what's going on?"

When he arrived at the training ground, Willy saw Morion, the leader of the first detachment, standing in front of the crowd.

Seeing Willy coming over to ask, the grim color on Morion's face narrowed slightly.

For Morion, Willy's identity is awkward. Although he is a pro-soldier, he does not belong to any of the three detachments of the pro-soldier team. In addition, Willy is deeply appreciated by Lord Baron, and at the same time he is also a student of Lord Ole, Morion is the nominal captain, but he is not easy to control Willy. In the face of Willy, he could only be polite.

"The news has just come that the Baron has been assassinated in the manor. ”

Morrion explained the reason directly.

"Lord Baron has been assassinated!?"

When Willy heard this, he was also shocked. Although Baron Kells was not a big nobleman, he was a member of the aristocratic class, and assassinating him would mean making enemies of the entire aristocratic class of the Duchy of Langton, and the consequences would be very tragic.

"Is the Baron injured?"

Willy hurriedly asked.

Morion nodded: "It is said that he was injured, but his life is fine." However, Lord Ole was very angry, and he ordered all the members of the pro-army to assemble in the baron's manor and send them. ”

Willy instantly understood the gravity of the situation, and his life was safe, but he was injured, which meant that the stabbing operation was effective to some extent. For Ole, he is the manager of the pro-soldier team and the first person in charge of this assassination. When this kind of thing happens, he can't escape the blame, and it is estimated that he must quickly do a good job in the aftermath of the attack by mobilizing the pro-soldier team so quickly.

"In that case, Captain Morion, I'll follow your first detachment first. ”

Willy did not have a detachment, and it was not easy for him to act alone at this time.

Naturally, Morion would not refuse.

In less than three minutes, the pro-soldier team of nearly 100 people had been assembled.

The detachment leaders mounted their horses, and the soldiers followed the detachment leaders and ran all the way forward.

Morion originally wanted to find a war horse for Willy to ride, but Willy refused, his identity was more sensitive in the pro-soldier team, and there was no need to specialize at a critical time.

Baronial Manor.

"Lord Baron, all this is my fault!"

Ole made a chivalric salute, bowed his head, and apologized on one knee to Baron Kells.

At this time, Baron Kells was pale, shirtless, his chest was wrapped in bloody gauze, and his breath was a little sluggish.

"Get up, Ole, you can't be blamed entirely for this. ”

Baron Kells didn't mean to reproach Ole: "When he entered the pro-soldier team, he was appointed by me before you accepted the team, and if you want to hold accountable for the default, I am the one who will take responsibility." ”

"I just didn't expect it...... After more than ten years in the pro-soldier team, Ranvo turned out to be a traitor......"

A chill appeared in Baron Keisle's eyes.

Half an hour earlier, Baron Kells, as usual, was in his study correcting papers.

As relations between the Duchy of Langton and the Duchy of Wata continue to be sour, pressure on the border lines is mounting. Although Baron Kells had asked the Earl of Lombal to send reinforcements, the Earl of Lombal was still unable to give any meaningful support. Because in the territory of Lembar, there is not only one territory in Diamond Town that borders the Duchy of Vata, and the other barons and viscounts face much greater border pressure than Baron Kells.

Just when Baron Kells was tormented by this question, one of his most trusted soldiers, Ranvo, suddenly arrived. Baron Kells was rather surprised, as Ranvo was not on duty today. However, he did not have too many doubts, after all, Lanvo was the one who had followed him for more than ten years.

When Ranvo saw Baron Kells, he immediately said that there was a border intelligence report. However, when he handed over the document in his hand to Baron Kells, he suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Baron Kells in the chest.

Although Baron Kells has knight-level strength, without warning, he was still stabbed in the chest, and if he didn't dodge immediately, he would have been stabbed in the heart directly. When Lanvo saw that he had missed, he actually sent a signal, and in the tight baron's manor, five or six people poured directly into the study and besieged the baron.

Baron Kells fought back instantly, and even though he was seriously wounded, he still relied on the knight's combat power to kill three people on the spot, but the other three fled.

The baron wanted to continue the pursuit, but found that the wound began to itch, and the dagger before him was smeared with poison. There was no way, Baron Kells could only give up the pursuit and deal with his injuries first.

It was only then that the pro-soldiers and guards discovered the anomaly here. It turned out that before the assassination, Lanvo borrowed his identity and transferred some of the surrounding soldiers and guards, and the remaining ten guards were killed by several assassins without warning. The baron's defense directly turned into a vacuum.

Enraged, the Baron immediately ordered the entire manor or even Diamondtown to be cordoned off, and the pro-guards were dispatched to arrest the Assassin tonight.
