Chapter 35: Doubts
Without further ado, Lei Zhe drove his horse straight over, the fire in front of him had disappeared, and the battle lasted no more than twenty minutes.
All the way by, there was no shortage of charred corpses around, watching his territory being wreaked havoc, McClure was about to vomit blood, when did his territory have such a strong ogre tribe?
"Your Excellency. β
"How's it going, Lord Marquis?"
"Adult ......"
"Take me there. Looking at Colmar's ugly face, Lei Zhe guessed something, this world is beyond Lei Zhe's cognition, but in cognition, it is correct to imagine, ogres are indeed similar to those in Warcraft.
It is large in size and has a distinct skin color that is distinct from that of humans.
The town of Nicaro suffered heavy losses, almost half of the civilians lost their lives in the attack, and if he hadn't covered his nose, the smell of blood was strong enough for Raizhe to vomit on the spot.
"Your Excellency, the Earl. A black-armored knight with a bloodstained face and messy hair walked up to Lei Zhe with a tired face.
"This is Knight McCarven, the chief of the Guards beside the Marquis, and the deputy head of the Black Thunder Knights. Colmar whispered from the side.
"Dear knight, I'm sorry about the Marquis. Lei Zhe said a little dullly.
"Your Excellency, there is something strange about this matter, Lord Marquis did not die at the hands of ogres, the entire exit of Nikaro was almost controlled by our Black Thunder Knights, and several people guarding the Marquis's side died under the Black Arrow. β
"Black Arrow?"
"An evil magic of the elves. β
"Does this matter have anything to do with the elves?" said Lei Zhe.
"Does the Earl know anything?"
"Well, but I can't connect the two things yet, can I take a look at the Marquis?"
"Come with me. McCarven led the way.
The black-armored knight who was kneeling on the side saw McCarven retreat directly, and there were two corpses lying on the ground, a black-armored knight with mutilated limbs wrapped in black cloth and a middle-aged man dressed gorgeously.
"This is the body of the Marquis, the body is relatively complete, only the heart part has been removed, the Marquis is not completely dead when we find the Marquis's body, and the person who killed the Marquis is very profound. β
White bra open.
There was indeed a sleek hole in Gabriel's heart, and the heart had indeed been taken away, and the cruelty of the technique made goosebumps rise all over Lei Zhe's body.
"Just kill the person directly, why take the heart away? Is it a heart-swapping operation? It's impossible......?" shook his head, unconsciously thinking of the movie he had watched, and the heart-swapping was really a bit nonsense.
Regardless of how the blood type is detected, the identity of the marquis alone is not something that can be moved if you want to.
"Lord Earl, the body of the Marquis will be kept and brought back to the realm, and the matter will be reported to the Holy City, and you may be summoned by the King at that time. β
"Hmm. Lei Zhe nodded, this incident happened in his territory, although he didn't have to be responsible, but there was such a powerful ogre in the territory to jointly accommodate the matter of alien races, if someone concerned reported this matter to the meeting, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
After saying goodbye to the Black Thunder Knights, Lei Zhe and his people were also preparing to return to Rost, and a good banquet was going to end without saying much, but the largest lord of Kamnas County had an accident, and if there was a banquet at this time, it would definitely be criticized.
"What about the casualties?"
"My lord, except for the knight who was hit by magic, everyone else is basically fine, this group of ogres has been consumed before we came, and there is no combat power. β
"Phew, let's go back to Rost first, this matter of Lord Marquis will definitely make a big fuss, and besides, I always feel that there is a familiar smell here. β
After bringing the news of the rescue failure back to Rost, many people expressed their grief, whether it was true or false, this matter was temporarily announced to be over, and at the same time, the end was naturally announced by Lei Zhe's banquet, which was not a big deal, after all, the banquet was just to let other nobles know the existence of Lei Zhe.
Alfred did not stay longer in Rost, as the earl of Camnus, Gabriel had such a big accident and he naturally had to return to his own territory, and the lord's accident would definitely have to go to the Holy City without exception.
"My lord, the nobles have returned to their residences. β
"Well, Adolf, do you think this time the king will directly cut me and then take back the territory of the Wells family?"
"Why did you say that all of a sudden...... Adolf was stunned.
"Intuitively, since my father succeeded to the throne, the Wells family has gone into decadence, and the territory of Wells has been lacking in care in recent years, if it weren't for my grandfather, I'm afraid the king would have directly cut off the nobility of the hereditary earl. β
"This is such a good opportunity, I'm afraid that the entire northern part of the empire will be washed once, the strength of the marquis has obviously exceeded the identity he should have, the king has not made him a duke for so many years, I am afraid he also has the intention to get rid of him, to be honest, if it is not for some strange places, I suspect that the king did it. β
"Your Excellency, you must not talk nonsense about such things. Adolf's face was full of shock, when did Lei Zhe actually become interested in the politics of the empire?
"Adolf, you have been with my father for so long, didn't my father explain anything to you when he left?"
"This ......" Adolf's face stiffened a little, and he opened his mouth a little to stop talking.
"Let's put it bluntly, I haven't shown any special talent since I was a child, and my father will definitely not worry about the Wells family when he leaves, and now that I have grown up, you should see that there are some things that there is no need to hide. β
"When the lord took it away, I really didn't worry about you and the Wells family, your unhappy lord has always been very distressed, but you are his only son, no matter what, the huge family business of the Wells family will be handed over to you. β
"Shortly before my lord's death, Captain Colmar and I swore allegiance to you in front of my lord, and we will never leave you. β
"Is that why Colmar stood up for me that day? In this way, Colmar's mind is simpler.
"Actually, this matter shouldn't be said, the master just wants you to live a good life with the family, but at this time, the old servant really shouldn't hide it. β
"Since the establishment of the Holy Empire, the Lords have been present in the royal palace, and this group is mainly composed of a special council composed of some great lords, such as the Grand Duke of Lancaster, the Grand Duke of Sanchez, the Duke of Poeltler, the Duke of Tulip, and the Marquis of Gabriel. β
Soon after the new king, Elvis became king, he removed the Grand Duke of SΓ‘nchez and the Marquis of Gabriel from the council. β
"Why did you do this? Didn't you offend the two great lords?"
