Chapter 90: Bloody Night (12)
"What you said is true?"
As soon as he heard Soge's words, everyone present was pleasantly surprised.
Mrs. Joyce exclaimed.
"Quick," Fano and Karn rushed to Thorge's side at the same time, urging in unison, "Tell me what's going on!"
Thorge briefly explained how he and Roy had met at the moment.
In the end, he said angrily: "Originally, Deputy Head Avery and I were going to send more men to protect Captain Roy, but at that time, Mr. Bradley said that it would be better for them to do this kind of thing. So, after handing over the task to them, we ordered the team to go back to the camp, but just now"
After listening to Thorge's account, everyone understood why Bradley and Byron were also following him just now.
It turned out that after reporting to Adolf, Thorge was going to leave to meet Roy.
But at this time, the people of the five major families made a big move, and even outside the Grand Duke's mansion, there were unknown powerhouses watching. The elite guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion were exhausted, and the atmosphere was tense, and as the chief knight of the Muni City Guard, it was naturally impossible for Soge to leave at this time.
When Soge assisted the guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion to strengthen their vigilance, further news came.
When he heard that these people were all members of the Bano family and the other four families, and they joined forces to do something against Roy, Sog was already worried.
However, at that time, he was secretly glad that with the protection of the powerhouse of the Fire Bee Hall, Roy would at least be much safer than under his own protection.
At this time, he hesitated in his heart whether to explain Roy's identity to the Grand Duke.
After all. Roy is now a heretic pronounced by the Holy See. Once his identity is revealed, I am afraid that he will face endless pursuit by the Holy See.
But it was in the open space in front of the main castle building. When I went back and forth, I found that among the strong men dispatched by the Grand Duke's Mansion. There are figures of Bradley and Byron. And counting the powerhouses of the Fire Bee Hall, there is not a single one left, all of them are in the Grand Duke's Mansion. This also means:
Thorge was startled and anxious, and a cold sweat came down at that time.
He immediately approached Bradley.
But when he asked Bradley why he didn't protect Roy, Bradley just snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Mr. Thorge, please pay attention to your identity and words, there are some things that people like you are not qualified to know, you just need to do your part." ”
"You agreed to take on the task of protection. Sorge was incredulous and asked, "Did you do this and ask the Grand Duke?"
Bradley's face sank, and he said, "Mr. Thorge, don't you understand how unwise it is to break out a war for an ordinary mercenary? Don't. How do we need to ask you for advice?"
"You bastard!" said Thoge angrily, "I'll go and report to the Grand Duke, and you'll understand what a terrible mistake you've made!"
"Wrong?" Bradley laughed dismissively. "I have to say, Mr. Sog, we stand at different heights. The perspective of things is also different. If you want to report it, just go for it. Only then will you understand. Who exactly made the mistake. ”
In a fit of rage, Thorge turned and left. Bradley and Byron looked at each other. They followed. That's when it came to breaking into the reception room.
After listening to Soge's story, Adolf was already angry.
"Karn!"
Karn said solemnly, "Your Highness. ”
"Arrest Bradley and Byron immediately and put them in jail," Adolphus said angrily, "they are not self-conceived, they are betrayal!"
"Yes!" Karn waved his hand, gesturing to his men.
"Fano!" said Adolf.
"Your Highness!"
"You and Karn immediately take someone, find Roy, and bring him back safely. Adolf said word by word, "If anyone dares to stop him, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against me, Lulian, and he will be killed on the spot! If the Bano family harms Roy, you will immediately lead troops and surround me the residence of the Bano family."
In the end, Adolf's face was as pale: "They think we are afraid of war, and I will let the Bano family understand that for this man, I, Lulian, will not hesitate to be the enemy of the whole world!"
"Yes!"
In the living room, quietly.
The nobles on Scarlett's side were still discussing in a low voice.
The sudden intrusion of the knight of the Mooney City Guard just now gave them a chance to breathe in the tense atmosphere between them and Adolf.
Everyone was hoping that when Adolf returned, he might be able to calm down. Reconsider his position.
After all, it would be too unwise and uneconomical to draw Lulian into a war for the sake of an ordinary mercenary.
However, at this moment, suddenly, everyone saw that several wolf-like guards walked directly in front of Bradley and Byron, the powerhouses of the Firebee Hall, and detained them.
"What are you doing?" said Bradley, apparently not yet composure, in shock, "why did you arrest me? What did I do?"
The captain of the guard who carried out the order sneered: "Mr. Bradley, you took the initiative to take over the protection of Leo, an important guest of Lulian in the city guard of Muni, but you left your post without permission and did not report it. Put Mr. Leo in danger. If you have anything to say, you can wait for the interrogation. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Take it away!"
"You," Bradley said in disbelief, pushing, "for the sake of a civilian mercenary, and for the sake of Lulian!"
However, Bradley's defense was ignored.
He was escorted out, along with Byron, who was pale and equally incredulous. And in this process, the fierce eyes of several Firebee Hall powerhouses next to them made the two of them dare not resist at all.
Looking at the two strong men who were escorted away, the nobles present couldn't help but gasp.
Although Adolf moved his own men, but. It was from this that they felt Adolf's determination without the slightest possibility of compromise!
And at the same time. A few nobles standing by the window suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
The crowd rushed over.
I saw the Grand Duke's Mansion at this moment. It's like boiling a pot. Bands of heavily armed soldiers, bands of knights, and the powerhouses of the Firebee Hall poured out under the leadership of Karn and Fano.
On the walls of the castle, a trumpeter blew his horn in the light of the magic moon.
At the same time, alarm bells sounded, an arrow sounded with an urgently assembled army. Soaring into the sky, a hundred meters above Muni City, an orange firework exploded.
orange
This scene made everyone present stunned.
Looking at the response fireworks from the barracks around the city, Scarlett muttered, "Impossible, this can't be!"
Richard, Oscar, and Charles also had straight eyes.
They couldn't figure it out when the Grand Duke left just now. It's just a warning, asking them to withdraw their people, otherwise they will be enemies of Lulian.
But as soon as he turned around, he had already made a bold move. Didn't even wait for everyone's answer!
"Uncle. Charles was stunned. The sleeve of the shirt was pulled.
When he turned his head, he saw that it was his nephew Ansel.
"I'll call our people back at once. Anse El said word by word, "Trust me." Adolf wasn't joking with us, or posturing. He was serious. Moreover, he will do whatever it takes!"
"Why?!" Charles asked in shock.
Ansel's eyes fell on Thorge, who was following Archduke Adolf into the room at the door of the hall.
Although there was no reason, when Thorge, who had fought side by side with him in the fjord, rushed in, and when Adolf's elite was exhausted, he suddenly connected the mercenary named Leo with Roy in his mind!
No matter how likely this is.
Even if it was just in case, he believed that Adolf would choose to go to war with the five major families!
And when others thought that Lulian had just experienced the war and was weak and could be bullied, he knew better than anyone that this was a steel knife that had been quenched. Going to war with it would be an absolute disaster for the Tomahawk Knights.
Moreover, Anse Air firmly believes that his grandfather, Grand Duke Renault, is absolutely unwilling to fall into such a quagmire at this time.
However, Ansel could not sue Charles for these reasons.
He just looked Charles in the eye seriously and said, "Please believe me this time." As for the reason, I will explain it to you when I have the opportunity later. ”
Charles looked into his nephew's eyes.
By this time, Archduke Adolf had already strode in.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Adolf's gaze swept across the faces of Scarlett and the others, "if you think about it, please do your best to inform your people." Otherwise, there is no chance. ”
After speaking, the old man snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"I'll go to the Tiger Roar Slope neighborhood in person now, please take care of yourself!"
The living room was as quiet as a grave at this moment. Only Adolf's voice echoed in the ears of the crowd.
And when they saw Adolf's back and had already walked to the door of the living room, several representatives of the noble family glanced at each other and suddenly hurriedly chased out.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment, we will inform our people immediately. ”
"Your Highness, this is a complete misunderstanding......
In the silence, Charles smiled apologetically at Scarlett and the others, and quickly led Ansel out after him.
"His Royal Highness!"
In front of the steps of the foyer of the main building, Charles caught up with Adolf, who was about to mount his horse.
"It's Charles. Adolf's indifferent face showed a rare smile.
He looked at Scarlett and the others who were coming out of the living room, and said to Charles, "Is there anything wrong, if it's not too important, let's talk about it when I get back." When the time comes, we can have a drink. ”
Charles smiled wryly.
Under the eager eyes of Ansel, he made up his mind and spoke, "Your Highness, don't tease me. If you come back, I'm afraid it'll be too late. I have to admit that I made a bad decision. Thankfully, my dear nephew reminded me of ......"
Adolf set his sights on Ansel.
He knew that this young man of the Renault family had fought alongside Roy in the fjord. He was a hero of Lulian.
After the war, Adolf specially met him and Xia Qing in private. Even the children of these two wealthy families of the empire came to Lulian and how they stepped onto the battlefield by mistake.
In fact, this is the main reason why he gave Charles a good look. The Archduke of Renault, who followed Donald loyally, had no friendship with him!
"Looks like you've made your decision?" Adolf asked Charles.
"Yes, Your Highness!" said Charles, "I will recall the members of the family at once." And, I hope you will agree that we will go to Tiger Roar Slope with you to avoid misunderstandings on the way. ”
Adolf smiled, got on his horse, and said to Charles and Ansel, "You can follow me." ”
Charles and Anse El were relieved, and immediately called for their mounts and turned on their horses.
With Adolf's soft call, the horse let go of its hooves and rushed out.
Charles, Ansel, and a group of Lulian lords, guarded by hundreds of knights of the Guardian and seven or eight powerhouses of the Firebee Hall, followed him closely.
A group of men galloped out of the castle on horseback, in the direction of the Tiger's Roar Slope neighborhood.
"Charles!" The scene in front of him made Richard grit his teeth, "This damn traitor, he actually betrayed us!"
Scarlett and Oscarlett had cloudy expressions on their faces.
"Lord Shire," Oscar said, "it seems that Adolf is hard-hearted. I think we're still ......."
"Lead the horse!" Scarlett ordered the attendants, and immediately turned her head to Oscar and the others, "Let's catch up and have a look." Perhaps, things aren't that bad. ”
She looked at the time, her eyes flashing, "It stands to reason that at this time, that mercenary has been killed by the Bano family!"
"But isn't that worse?" said Oscar, frowning, and said strangely, "as soon as that man dies, there is no room for recovery!"
Scarlett shook her head and gritted her teeth, "That person is alive, and that person is a dead knot between Lulian and the Barnes and the Bano family. But as soon as he died, the anger of the Barnes and Nobles disappeared. They will retract and will not bump into Adolf. You see, before that, the Iron Dog Duruko wounded the knights of the Muni City Guard?"
Seeing Richard and Oscar nodding, Scarlett said again: "And no matter how angry Adolf is, he will accept this fact and will not go to war with the Barnes and Nobles because of this." After all, even if he destroyed the Bano family, he couldn't save that person's life. And the price he may pay is Lulian's inheritance!"
By the time he said this, the horse had already been led. Scarlett got on the horse and finally said: "After today, our relationship with Adolf may be a little stiff, but as long as we get in touch slowly, there may not be no chance of turning around." And if that man doesn't die, we will suffer from it!"
As she spoke, she shook the reins and was about to urge the horse forward.
Suddenly, a horse came galloping from the castle gate, rushed straight to her, Oscar and the others, and then stopped.
Recognizing that it was her own knight, Scarlett asked sharply, "Adela, aren't you in charge of observing at Tiger Roar Slope, how did you get here?
"County Lord!" the glorious knight named Adela dismounted with a panicked look on his face.
"The elves and dwarves are at war with the Bano family!"
"What!?"
