Chapter 223: Antoine One

On the way from Neverwinter to the Crossroads Fortress, Knight Antoine pondered what to do to "deal with" Erebeth - despite his arrogant attitude in his conversation with Nasher - as if there was an agreement within the Church to give Nasher an ultimatum!

But the opposite is true, he and his men are in the minority within the church! Nasher is their PUBG's help.

It was only because Nasher was too jealous of the speed at which Erebes' reputation was expanding, and because he liked to exchange interests too much, that he didn't check the flaws for a while...... Essentially, it's because he's a politician rather than a qualified king.

At this moment, even Nasher wanted to regret it, because he had already exposed his darkest thoughts, and his words left traces in the world. From then on, only one of the two of them could be left, and it was not up to anyone's will...... The foundation of trust has been destroyed, and even if Erebus can still trust him in the future, can he still trust Erebes?

He's a politician.

This is a conspiracy......

Antoine on his horse felt very proud, he was not the kind of person who was good at strategy. But it was precisely because no one could have predicted that he, the Grand Knight of Tyr, would use "coaxing" as a means that he was able to succeed in one fell swoop.

As for the matter of the "camp", there is no need to worry, its feedback is not so fast, and it is often the end of a "stage" before making a conclusive evaluation - for example, a person betrays kindness and kills his brother, and defects to the enemy, and on the surface it seems to fall into darkness properly. But in fact, he is an undercover agent, and killing his brother is also a brother's voluntary sacrifice, so the moment he succeeds or fails, the "trial" of the camp will fall on him.

The same was true of Antoine, who was convinced that the moment he offered Neverwinter, the pearl of the Northlands, to the feet of Tyre, even punishment would be a reward.

"Your Excellency, we are coming, and we are at the Crossroads Fortress in front of us."

Antoine looked up.

At this time, the team had just passed through the mountain forest, and although the crossroads fortress was located at the pass of the two mountain ranges, it was actually on a small hill. Through the dim light, Antoine initially found nothing, until he found the slowly spinning windmill.

There are windmills and mills, and when he lowers his gaze, he gradually distinguishes the complex of buildings that look like they are buried in the earth...... The blacksmith's shop, the mill, the stables, the inn sentry tower, all emerged from the shadows.

Antoine frowned, and if asked how he felt, he would say...... It's hard to do! Ordinary people may care about the beauty and ugliness of the building, but Antoine cares more about the function of the building! These buildings are low, thick, and connected to each other to form a large circle, and as long as the door is closed, it is a city wall! Not to mention the fact that there is a secondary wall, a picket fence and a moat!

As long as a hundred soldiers are stationed, this place will be impregnable.

Fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Shen Yan could not recruit a hundred soldiers in a short period of time. Moreover, unless Shen Yan rebelled now, it was impossible for him not to let Antoine's soldiers enter...... Fortresses are always easier to capture from within.

To be honest, Antoine didn't think about what Shen Yan did.

Now everyone in the Tyre church knows that Shen Yan is a son of God, and he has a father who is quite protective of his shortcomings, although he is far away. As for why Shen Yan and Erebes are sisters and brothers, but Sister A is not a god son, this topic ...... One of the Seven Sisters of the Northland is a black skin, do you know why? Is this a topic that mortals can discuss?

He just wanted to contain Erebes from afar by controlling Shen Yan...... Separation of siblings will be the biggest mistake!

This was already done in Antoine's plan, and his real goal was to stop Luskane's offensive - which is why Antoine cared so much about the defenses of the Crossroads Inn, because it was already his fortress in his opinion.

Only when he returns to Neverwinter with a great victory can he erase the prestige gap with Erebes!

*****

However, when Antoine approached the fortress, his brow gradually furrowed, and his face became a little gloomy.

His deputy thought that Antoine was doing it for Shen Yan and did not come out to greet him in person...... No, it's anger at all without any greeting. This time, they brought a full ten high-ranking paladins, twenty temple guards, and twenty city guards! It is impossible for the mighty group of people walking on the road not to notice the fortress, but until now there has been no indication.

As everyone knows, Antoine doesn't care about the red tape at all, unless he needs to take advantage of it.

He cared about something else...... No one else may notice, but he's a legend! Antoine could clearly feel that there were no less than twenty or thirty orcs hiding in the surrounding forest, and each of them was about the same strength as the holy warriors he brought! It's a terrible force!

Could it be that Shen Yan really colluded with the orcs? Sure enough, he is worthy of being a descendant of the platinum dragon, and there is also filthy beast blood flowing in his veins!

In addition, there was also the gaze of the arrow tower staring at him in the distance, which made him feel a slight tingle...... It was a premonition of a crisis that could have hurt him.

There were only four words in his head, Elven Marksman?!

But how could the top archers among the elves appear in such a place?

With doubts, he walked into the Crossroads Hotel. Knowing the essence of the building, he didn't stay in the hotel anymore, but went directly through the hall and broke into the inner ring with great momentum!

"Hi Ann...... Continued? It's a bit rude for you to come to someone's house and don't know how to say hello first? Shen Yan leaned on the balcony fence on the second floor of the main castle opposite, and lazily accused, seeing that Antoine was on fire!

He didn't know why, as soon as he saw Shen Yan, he couldn't control his anger.

"Humph!" Antoine took his eyes off Shen Yan and waved his hand casually, "I don't have anything to say to you, bring me ......"

But before he finished speaking, the soldier who stretched out his hand had just grabbed his hand on the weapon, when he heard a "rubbing" sound, and dozens of elves jumped from behind the house to the roof, surrounding them in the center!

Dozens of pulley bows were drawn at the same time, and the cold light and shining arrows were aimed at the soldiers below!

Immediately after that, there was a sound of continuous closing of the door behind him, and the doors to the outside world were closed and locked one by one! Dozens of strong orcs with steel weapons in their hands blocked the group's retreat! Shake the pectoralis major muscles!

"What did you just say to take? I didn't hear you. Shen Yan dug out his ears, "Is it a good paper?" ”

"Hehe~" Antoine laughed angrily, he flicked his cloak casually, holding a weapon in his hand, and his figure skyrocketed. "Ignorance! Do you really think that the Son of God can run rampant? You'll never understand what a legend is! We're different! ”

"Oh-"

A young woman pushed the door from behind Shen Yan and walked out. She leaned lightly on the other side of the balcony with her staff in her hand, looking down at Antoine gracefully.

"Tell me, what exactly is the concept of legend?"
