Chapter 66

"Who are you?"

In the living room, Wells gritted his teeth and looked cold.

From the moment these guys appeared at the gate of the manor, he felt suspicious. However, the identity and coat of arms of the other party, as well as their small number of people, made him dispel his concerns. Unexpectedly, the doubts that flashed in my heart at that time were actually the real truth!

These guys are actually here for Eugene!

But why did they ask Eugene?

In this Shannon estate, you are the master of this place. Of the four of them, two of them are waste. Even with the addition of Lady Joyce and her knights, it is impossible to be his opponent. Not to mention anything else, just the four glorious knights beside him are a mountain they can't cross!

Equally shocked, Mrs. Joyce.

Although from the beginning, she invited these people in, and she didn't have any good intentions. And just now, she was also provoking the contradiction between Auston and Wells step by step, in addition to a deflated woman's desire to take revenge on Wells, at most, she hoped to use this member of the Auston family to help her pass on a message.

But she never dreamed that this Auston was actually here for Eugene?

Who is he?!

Wells's question is also her question!

"Me?" Auston smiled slightly, calmly not even raising his eyelids at the knights who were eyeing him around, and said leisurely: "Kate, Auston." There's no wrong name. He raised his eyelids: "What, do you want me to show you the identity papers?"

Wells' eyes were gloomy. He believed in the man's identity. But he couldn't understand how the Auston family, who couldn't fight with Lulian, could get involved in this storm. Does this mean that, in addition to the nobles of Muni City and Eugene, there are also third-party forces joining?

But. Now is not the time to think about that.

Ever since he openly defected to the Lanrith family, there was no way back for him. If there is any mistake in today's mission, it will be a devastating blow to him.

Wells gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter who you are." I think you're in the wrong place and asking the wrong question. There are some things, you Auston family, it is better to sit idly by. ”

"Oh, really?" said Alston with a smile and shaking his head, "I don't think so. ”

As he spoke, his face gradually turning cold, "Earl Wells, now I'll give you a chance. You'd better hand over General Eugene yourself. Don't force us to do it. ”

Do it?

Whether it's Wells and his knights. It was Mrs. Joyce and the others who looked at Auston as if they had seen a madman.

In this living room, Wells has a total of eight knights, all of whom are good hands. In addition to the four fair knights, the four glorious knights who came with him this time were a lot of full guards by his side. This is the biggest reliance and confidence that Wells dares to stand here!

Once you do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to take a picture. Auston and his retinue will be dead on the spot. And in such a situation. He actually gave others the opportunity to hand over the people themselves?

This is simply ridiculous!

Wells laughed angrily, "Mr. Alston, it seems that you are not lightly drunk. ”

"Oh, am I drunk?" said Auston with a strange look.

"I advise you to get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow, the wine will wake up. Wells smirked. "I admit it. Indeed, the Auston family is not something that a small local earl like mine can provoke. However, if you don't know whether you live or die, and intervene in something that you shouldn't be involved in, let alone a small Auston family, it is ten Auston families tied together. It's not enough for someone to be a finger thick......"

“...... So, Mr. Auston, I don't care who you sent or why you came. You'd better keep your mouth shut and go to your room for a rest. In the imperial capital, I don't care how you shake your majesty. At least today, in this living room, you don't have a place to talk!"

By the end of the day, Wells was already in full swing.

Mrs. Joyce and her knights all looked at each other.

To be honest, even if they stand on the opposite side of Wells, they feel that Alston is really a little ignorant. Wells still maintained restraint and did not let people take down these guys immediately, which was already enough forbearance and retreat to the Auston family.

Alston apparently doesn't think so, though. Facing Wells, he said leisurely, "I know there's no place for me to talk here." "However, it seems that you do not have the right to speak, the Earl of Wells. ”

"Really?" said the Earl of Wells, clenching his fists and twitching his cheek muscles, "and who should we listen to?"

He looked around, "Honorable Lady Joyce, your two guards gentlemen...... he glanced at the young servant, and a playful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, "...... Or, let this lowly servant say a few words, and see if we listen?"

The knights who were guarding Wells laughed.

In their opinion, this Auston is a fool who gives shame. I don't know how thick the sky is. This ridicule was originally caused by himself!

Their laughter, however, did not last long.

For they found that Auston and his two guards were looking at them with a strange look, as if they had seen a group of idiots.

"Earl Wells, you are indeed a sharp-eyed old fox, no wonder you were the first to take refuge as soon as the Lanris came. A clear voice peculiar to a young man rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone turned their heads in shock, but they saw the dirty young man dressed as a servant, taking off his soft hat and wiping the dust off his face.

He had beautiful blue eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, like a little beast that had just woken up, with a little confusion. Although he is not handsome, he gives people a comfortable closeness.

He wiped his face and said to the stunned Wells with a grin, "You guessed it, everyone here has to listen to me." ”

Everyone was a little confused.

Mrs. Joyce turned her head to look at Alston, but saw the grandson of the Auston family spread out her hands. said apologetically, "I forgot to introduce to you, this is my young master, Roy." I suppose Mrs. Joyce and the Earl of Wales are familiar with this name, right?"

It's him!

Mrs. Joyce couldn't help but cover her mouth. The Earl of Wales, on the other hand, had a drastic change in his face.

Of course they know the name!

For Mrs. Joyce, the boy's name came to her ears almost every day. Whether it is Schilling or those nobles, he is often mentioned. Not long ago, she assigned this kid and the E Brigade of the first training camp to the logistics escort team, which was also her personal greeting.

However, she had heard that the young man had been convicted of a military offence yesterday morning. and was locked up by the logistics escort team.

Although she knows the inside story of this, it's just that, in her opinion, this kid is a poor worm who accidentally broke into the battlefield of fierce beasts, no matter what the final outcome of this war is, his fate is already doomed, and there is no need to pay any attention.

I didn't expect it. He actually appeared here.

Moreover, it is to lead a nobleman like Auston and two knights. In this way, come for Eugene!

If Mrs. Joyce was only shocked, Wells was shocked.

What he knew better than Mrs. Joyce was, just earlier today. Schilling had already informed Guò Natasha and instructed Herman to kill the kid.

In terms of time, the boy should have died at Herman's hands before he attacked the manor. But now, he is not only alive and well, but also appears in front of him. Does this mean. On the side of the logistics escort, something is wrong?

Wells's heart was lifted at once.

He didn't know what was going on in the barracks. And this lack of information gives him a feeling of losing control. How did this kid get here, that Alston, why do you call him young master. How did they know that Eugene was here to meet Mrs. Joyce?

Don't...... A speculation that made Wells fidget, came to mind. This time, he could no longer maintain his previous composure.

"Take him down!"

Wells had already made a decision in an instant, and gave the order sharply.

In any case, he must grasp this place first, and then immediately report to Lord Schilling to find out if there is anything wrong in the military camp.

Eight knights pounced at the same time.

This time, the change was sudden. Wells's decisiveness made this powder keg, which had been burning in the flames for a long time, finally explode.

The living room of the small Shannon Manor house is not large. If there is a ball, it will only accommodate a maximum of thirty or forty people.

At this moment, Wells and his eight knights had an absolute numerical advantage. Not to mention that Mrs. Joyce hadn't come to her senses yet, even if she immediately ordered her knights to help, there would only be one knight of glory and three knights of justice by her side. Definitely not a match for Wells.

And at such a moment, they had missed the opportunity to stop it in time, and they could only watch the eight knights pounce on Roy at the same time.

Everyone's hearts were raised to their throats at this moment.

In a small space, swaying figures and circling battle rings are intertwined, forming a palpitating picture. Guarded by her own knights, Mrs. Joyce watched as one of the knights in front of her eyes had already landed her palms and slapped Roy's head fiercely.

Even if it is just a female streamer who has no power to tie the chicken, Joyce also knows that even a cow can be slapped into a meatloaf with a palm infused with fighting spirit, not to mention this thin teenager?

However, at this moment of nervousness, she found that the young man actually smiled at herself.

It was a clear, clean face and a smile with a little shyness, like a clear spring in the dusty desert.

Mrs. Joyce's heart had just skipped a beat.

Suddenly, Auston next to Roy moved.

Sixteen battle rings, in the horrified eyes of everyone, burst out of Auston's body. A majestic aura of the strong swept in all directions with the stimulation of the fighting spirit.

At this moment, Mrs. Joyce and her knights only felt that the entire living room was enveloped by an invisible pressure. The body was overwhelmed as if it had pressed on a mountain. It's hard to even move your fingers.

And the knight who pounced on Roy sank even more. Four just knights, almost in an instant. was oppressed by this invisible force and fell to his knees. The other four Glory Knights, although not as strict as the Knights of Justice due to the influence of the realm, were also significantly slower.

"Knight of Light!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and in an instant, they only saw a flash of figure, the gentle one just now. Even some lazy aristocratic men had turned into a fierce demon leopard, and instantly transformed into four figures, and smashed down with one punch to the four glorious knights.

The Auston family, the six-star secret martial arts, the Thousand Shadow Fist!

Auston is naturally agile, whether it is fighting spirit or martial arts, he takes the speed route. On the battlefield, he was not even a match for Algernon, who was one star below him. But in this room. In every square inch, he is the absolute king. Even Karenic or Percy, who are five-star knights of light, have to retreat!

And this Thousand Shadow Fist is the secret martial art of the Auston family. Not only can he give full play to his speed advantage, but also in hand-to-hand combat, a powerful punch.

For a moment, the person next to him. I only saw four Austons in the living room.

The four glorious knights stand. Originally, it was in a cross position, lined up all around, and surrounded Roy and others. It stands to reason that Auston can take care of one road and two roads, not three or four roads. But at this moment, he turned out to be in four directions. Each of them threw a punch. The difference between before and after is only between milliseconds.

It's so fast!

Everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and Auston's fist had been smashed down.

Sixteen battle rings, running at full speed as Auston's fighting spirit was triggered. The majestic power of heaven and earth is as if it is being pulled by sixteen whirlpools. The frenzied influx formed a tsunami-like energy. Wrapped in the fist, it burst the air, and the qiqi that shrouded the fist turned into ashes.

The four glorious knights were shocked, and they all raised the twelve layers of fighting spirit and parried with all their might!

Punch down!

Four shockwaves exploded suddenly.

The power of a knight of light is so powerful. At this moment, the four glorious knights felt like fiery red iron under a round sledgehammer.

Boom, a loud bang, sparks flying!

The battle ring of the two glorious one-star knights collapsed in an instant. The body flew upside down like a cannonball, directly through the wall, and landed in the courtyard below. The other two knights with stronger strength were also red as blood, and their legs trembled as if they had been struck by lightning.

The shockwave centered on their bodies and spread out in all directions. The living room, which was already a mess, was as if it had been blown by a tornado, and it became even more miserable. The remaining furniture, along with the floor, carpets, and scattered fragments of glass and porcelain, were all reduced to ashes.

And Auston won a blow and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. With a slight step on his feet, his figure shook over the other four stunned knights in the blink of an eye, and when he reached Wells's side, he grabbed him by the neck with one hand, and grabbed him back like a chicken.

Throwing Wells at Roy's feet, Auston clapped his hands and smiled, "You know who counts here, right?"

In the living room, there was a dead silence.

Mrs. Joyce and her knights stared blankly at Auston and Roy. For a while, I didn't know what to say.

These rabbits rise and fall, and they are incomparably fast.

From Wells' order, eight noble private knights to launch, to Alston to strike. It adds up to a blink of an eye. Before everyone even had time to come back to their senses, the dust had already settled.

So strong, so domineering!

It's dizzying!

"This ......," said Mrs. Joyce, covering her mouth in shock, and was about to say something, when her words were interrupted by a burst of exclamations and fierce fights from downstairs.

When I turned my head, there was already chaos downstairs.

Just now, Auston knocked the two Glory Knights directly downstairs. The already tense atmosphere suddenly got out of control.

There's a fight upstairs!

This fact made the knights of both sides almost immediately scuffle together.

Looking down from above, the war groups are mainly concentrated near the foyer of the small building. Wells' knights tried to rush inside. The knights under the command of Lady Joyce formed a team to resist. Neither side knew what was going on on the second floor, and they were desperately fighting for control of the passage to the living room on the second floor.

Outside the warband, several of Wells' knights were surrounding the two Knights of Glory who were lying on the ground like broken sacks, trying to wake them up and ask what was going on.

farther away. Four or five knights of Wales, holding Eugene haste from the cellar, were hurrying to the fence where the horses were tethered, trying to leave.

"Oh no! stop them!" cried out Mrs. Joyce, whose face changed.

It has to be said that Wells's knights reacted quickly. When they find out. After their two glory knights were actually bombarded directly from the living room on the second floor, they still reacted quickly without knowing what was happening on the second floor.

The leading knight quickly ordered to attack the second floor, and at the same time sent someone to take Eugene hostage and rush out of the manor. That way, no matter what's going on in the living room, they're in control.

If the situation in the living room is still under your control, then. This qiē is just prepared. And once there is a problem with the core people of their own side in the living room, then, when they attack, they may be able to regain control of the situation. At the same time, holding Eugene hostage and sending people out of the manor can also ensure that the most crucial card is captured in the event of an unfavorable situation. And inform Schilling to ask for reinforcements!

A scene in front of me. Makes Mrs. Joyce anxious.

She knew that if they were allowed to leave like this, then the storm of tonight would sweep from this Shannon Manor to the whole of Muni City.

And this qiē. Exactly what both she and Eugene have been trying to avoid!

No matter what position they stand on, Lulian is their home. Here, we can't afford a civil war to the death!

However, Mrs. Joyce's order was timely. But it was too late.

The estate has always been controlled by the people of Wales. In order to avoid a fierce conflict, the knights under her command were all concentrated near the small building. In addition, the number of people is far less than the other party. Therefore, the incident turned suddenly, and no one at the gate of the manor could stop the knights of Wales from leaving with Eugene.

Although after hearing her order, several knights close to the perimeter tried to rush over. But the knights under Wells, who also heard the voice, desperately entangled them.

Seeing that the knights were about to rush to the gate of the manor with Eugene on their horses, Mrs. Joyce quickly rushed to the withered Wells, squatted down, grabbed him by the collar, and said sharply: "Let your people come back!"

Wells's head, as Mrs. Joyce's hand swayed, his eyes glazed out, and he did not seem to have recovered from the sudden blow.

He couldn't understand how the situation that was originally firmly in his hands could become what it is now in the blink of an eye. And the original high-spirited self became a prisoner in the blink of an eye. The eight knights around him failed to protect themselves.

It wasn't until he was shaken by Mrs. Joyce that he gradually came back to his senses.

"Hey...... Wells laughed a little nervously. He rolled his eyes and looked at Mrs. Joyce, who was anxious and angry, as if he had seen an idiot.

"Don't bother, Mrs. Joyce," Wells said coldly, "you should know that I am just an executor. Among those below, there were only five of my own knights. You should know better than I do who the rest are loyal to. ”

One name after another, far more powerful than Wells, popped out of her mind, and Mrs. Joyce's hand clutched Wells' collar tightly and couldn't help but let go.

Wells shook off her hand, looked into her somewhat depressed eyes and said, "This path is our own choice." If you had been firm in your choice, madam, perhaps, today's qiē would not have happened. At this time, we should be raising a glass to celebrate, not killing each other......"

He looked around, his eyes swept over the messy living room and Auston and the others, and fell on Roy's face, half-squinting, looking at the young man for a long time before he let out a cruel smile.

"I really didn't expect that after catching an eagle all my life, I was pecked in the eye by a sparrow when I came to the end. I must admit that you have deceived me by playing this hand. It was a mistake to let you in!"

Wells' cheeks twitched, and his eyes were full of hatred and gloating.

"I don't know who is standing behind you or who sent you, but it would be too wishful thinking to turn the tide of the city of Muni with just a few of you. ”

"Oh?" was still Roy's faint voice.

He was so calm that there was not a hint of nervousness in his tone, and Mrs. Joyce couldn't help but turn her head sharply to look at him.

"You think that by capturing me, you can use me to force my men to lay down their arms and hand over Eugene?" Wells tilted his head. Sneered.

"Hmm," Roy touched his nose a little embarrassedly and nodded honestly, "That's exactly what it was planned. ”

The smile on Wells' face became more and more sarcastic. He slowly stood up and turned his head to look out the window.

In sight. The knight holding Eugene hostage had already galloped across the path in front of the manor's gate, and was about to disappear into the light of the roadside brazier.

"You're naïve," Wells said, "and Eugene is much more important than me." Even if you kill me immediately and throw my body down, they won't frown. Do you think my words will work? Do you want me to shout?"

Mrs. Joyce's heart. It sank to the bottom.

She could tell that Wells was telling the truth.

Among the nobles, Wells himself was not very strong in status and strength. It was only because this old fox was accustomed to judging the situation and was willing to be cheeky that he relied on being the first to take refuge in Schilling in exchange for a core position among the Lulian nobles who had taken refuge in the Lanris.

This time he was sent to attack Eugene, and Schilling also valued his loyalty. After all. He had only been in Lulian for a short time, before the defeat and death of Archduke Adolf. Nor can he be sure that all those who seek refuge are sincere.

However, compared to Eugene, Wells is nothing. Not only Schilling, but he will not hesitate to sacrifice Wells in exchange for Eugene. This is especially true of the nobles who handed over their knights to the command of Wells, but could only watch the old fox take credit.

If there is such an opportunity, they don't have to explain it. Their knights will not make any compromises because of Wells. Perhaps, many of the people below are still willing to watch Wells die!

Mrs. Joyce herself was one of these nobles, and she knew their minds better than anyone else.

The more you think about it. Mrs. Joyce's heart cooled. She couldn't help but look at Roy.

Although in this kind of storm that swept through the city of Muni and involved a number of nobles with profound background, ruthless means and scheming, jumping out of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to preside over the overall situation filled her with a sense of absurdity, at this moment, she tied her only hope to this young man.

In the sight, in the face of Wells's sarcastic smile, the young man shook his head, looked very agreeable, and replied, "It's useless for you to shout." ”

This answer made Wells stunned.

Then he saw the young man pointing to his nose and saying, "I said that everyone here has to listen to me, so I have to shout." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they saw Roy smiling and shouting out the window: "Come back, no one is allowed to go out." ”

This shout is almost child's play. Not to mention that no one listened to him, it is unknown whether this lazy voice alone can reach the entrance of the manor and be heard by those galloping knights.

The knights on both sides of the fight downstairs heard it, but apparently no one took it seriously.

At the gate of the manor, five knights had already escorted Eugene to the stone bridge. One knight walked in the front, two knights left and one right, and Eugene in the middle, and two more knights broke behind.

Seeing their backs, they were about to disappear from sight, and suddenly, everyone suddenly noticed that the five knights who had galloped out of the manor suddenly stopped.

The five people, with their men and horses, were frozen in the void as if they were being grasped by an invisible hand. Whether it is a knight on a horse or a horse sitting down, they all maintain a galloping posture and look extremely strange.

Field!

It was only a second or two, but everyone could recognize that this must be some kind of unique field!

Before they could exclaim, they saw a large and stocky man with a great axe appear in front of the frozen knights.

Swing an axe!

Boom, one of the knights in front was smashed alive by him with the back of an axe.

A rain of blood, like a fiery red firework, burst out in this dark night, so dazzling, so terrifying!

The fight downstairs stopped. The breathing of the people upstairs also stopped.

Everyone's pupils contracted violently...... (To be continued......)
