Chapter 130: Regret
"Damn, shit, shit, shit!" The next night in the castle of Deay, Count Dee was roaring wildly, and he had been in this state all day.
The castle was littered with fragments of things he had smashed, the candles on the walls gave off a faint glow, and in the hall kneeling were the town's big and small officials and army commanders, who didn't dare to breathe, because there were already a few people who had not been dragged out, and as for the consequences of being dragged out, they didn't want to know it, anyway, it wasn't much better.
At the front stood five knights, their heads bowed and silent, for in front of them was the corpse of the Knight of Diu.
"This is a declaration of war, this is a provocation against me, the murderer must die!" said Count Deay, who was a little incoherent, and fifteen hundred soldiers were silently destroyed, and his right-hand man, the mighty Dio, was wiped on his neck, which plunged him into boundless rage.
As he spoke, he grabbed an object and was about to drop it, and then he suddenly saw that it was a very exquisite statue, as if it was a masterpiece that he had bought for thousands of gold coins last year.
At that time, it was bought on impulse when he was fighting for face with several nobles in Lucca.
He was stunned for a moment, and then kicked in the face of a small official in front of him with an angry face: "What's the use of what I want you to waste?
Then he put the statue in his hand back without a trace, thousands of gold coins, these smashed objects can't compare to it, why did he get dizzy in the first place?
"My lord, my lord spare my life, I still have a family, this matter has nothing to do with me, I am just a tax manager!" The little official's face turned pale suddenly, and he reached out to hug Count Deay's leg and pleaded loudly, this is really a disaster.
"Drag it off. Count Dee kicked him away in disgust, and then said to the soldiers who had already entered.
“......”
Listening to the screams and wailings of the tax officer, the officials did not dare to raise their heads, and could only silently pray that this unfortunate thing would not fall on their heads.
As for interceding for him? No kidding, this joke is not humorous at all, do we know him well?
"Send out all our details at once, find out who is attacking the territory of the Viscount of Tours, and if you don't know clearly, you will have to bury the fifteen hundred soldiers!"
Count Dea looked at them as if he didn't dare to catch his breath, and once again kicked the nearest person to him to the ground and roared loudly.
"Get out of here!!"
The officials who fell to their knees were suddenly pardoned, and even got up and fled from the hall, leaving only Count Deai and his five knights.
"What a bunch of rubbish!" said Count Deay, panting, sitting back in his chair.
"My lord, it is imperative to strengthen the defense of the town of Diai to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack. The man standing at the front of the five knights lowered his head and said calmly.
The gray-haired, resolute-faced, well-dressed knight chainmail, his name was Willis, he was almost seventy years old, and he had sworn allegiance to Count Dee's father, and was now Earl's right-hand man.
And he is loyal to the Deai family, and it can even be said that the prosperity of the entire Deai Territory is mostly due to his efforts, and even the great nobles of the south have come to contact him in the hope that he can serve him, but he sternly refused.
"Yes, Uncle Willis, you're right. The Count of Dee suddenly came to his senses, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, and immediately said to the other knight, "Lead, I will leave it to you to arrange." ”
"Yes, sir. The knight turned away as soon as he received the order, without any fuss.
The knight named Led was a middle-aged man about the same age as the Earl of Deay, and he was loyal, but those who knew him knew that he was a complete lunatic.
"Uncle Willis, sit down. Count Dee said with his hand.
After thanking them, the knights were not polite, and each found a chair and sat down under the Count of Deay.
"Uncle Willis, who do you think is going against us this time?"
"Nine times out of ten, it's His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Willis sighed, regretting that he had not been able to convince Count Dee not to tread the troubled waters.
"Impossible, right?" Count Dee was a little unconvinced, the prince who had been expelled from the royal city could have this kind of energy?
"Now the situation in the kingdom is in chaos, the reason why King Lopez does not take care of the government is unknown, the garrison troops in the cities cannot be mobilized, the eldest prince cannot deter the great nobles in the country, and the Marquis Garcia is secretly ruling in a bad name, so that there are faint signs of disobedience to the orders of the royal city on the part of the nobles of various factions, assuming that there are now people secretly supporting the second prince, it is not surprising that this kind of thing happens. ”
Knight Willis calmly analyzed and said with a little regret that if he could have guessed that the situation in the kingdom would be so turbulent, he would not have agreed to Count Deay falling into this whirlpool.
But it's too late to say these things, they've already formed a bond with Jason.
"What if someone helps him?" Count Dee sneered when he heard this, the person who bid to kill him was not small, and it was not easy to pinch him to death with his backhand?
It's just because of the recent chaos in the kingdom, that person hasn't freed up his hands yet, and he was also afraid that some people would find out that he was temporarily dormant because of the failure of his first plan.
"Don't be careless, the disappearance of Diwu and the fifteen hundred soldiers this time is a wake-up call. Knight Willis looked up at Count Dea and said solemnly.
"yes, I see. Count Dee thought for a moment and nodded slowly, although he was irritable, he was not a fool, an official died and countless people stared at his position, but if something happened to the territory, everything was over.
..................
Two months later, as the year was about to end, the casino in Irbias where Jason and Villerett had invested tens of thousands of gold coins was finally completed, and now that all the facilities and entertainment in it were ready, it was time for Jason and Villewlet to invite all the nobles and businessmen to the opening banquet.
"My lord, the casino is finished, let me take you there. On that day, Jason arrived at Erbia with Ronnat and a troop of cavalry, and Gareth met him early in the city gatehouse.
"Well, take me right away. Jason is a little impatient, whether he can make crazy money in the future depends on whether this project is successful or not, and he is extremely looking forward to it.
As for Count Deay, Jason didn't seem to be in a hurry, because there were Viscounts Leon and Viscount Zack watching, and they had already formulated the next plan of action at the banquet some time ago.
"By the way, in a moment send someone with my letter to inform Villeret, that she should come to Erbia in a few days. He suddenly commanded Ronnat, Jason really missed her after not seeing her in months.
And he planned to stay in Erbia before the opening banquet of the casino, where he issued invitations to the nobles and businessmen of the north.
"Yes, sir. Ronnatt bowed.
