Chapter 166: The Incident of Extermination

"Let the archers get ready and go, and head towards the royal city!"

Stannis ordered with a wave of his hand.

But Master Romon shook his head, "Your Excellency, this time we are not going to gather in Teist City, but to join the Wolf family, because the exterminated family is right next to their territory. ”

"No, I'm going to the wolf's house again!" Stannis was a hundred reluctant, although he had eased diplomatic relations with the Wolf family, but it was those little cubs of the wolf family who were still hostile to him all day long because of their second sister Evelyn, which made him feel very guilty.

But he knew that there was no choice in this matter, and after a short time of preparation, Stannis set out with all his archers and a younger brother. They soon entered the territory of the Wolf family and headed for the main city of Wolfsburg, where he encountered many other armies under different banners, all led by lords who had been summoned by the Duke to investigate.

Stannis saw no acquaintances among them, not even his father-in-law's flag, most of them were seeing faces for the first time.

When he finally arrived in Wolfsburg, he found that more than 1,500 people from more than 20 lords had been gathered, and it seemed that the scale of the investigation team was really large, and many of them took part in the operation with all the troops in their territories.

Finally, among all the lords, Stannis found an acquaintance, it was Barrow IV, who had been defeated by his own dishonorable means......

It looked like only one of his three allies had arrived, and although it was embarrassing, Stannis walked over to say hello.

"Hello, little brother Barrow, long time no see, don't come unharmed?"

Surprisingly, the big man he defeated did not hate himself as much as he thought, and he even looked at Stannis with admiration.

"Sir Justinian, my eldest brother has told me about your heroic deeds, I didn't expect your courage to reach the sky! You deliberately let me last time I fought, if you really used all your strength, I'm afraid I would have fallen down a long time ago, if you were offended before, please forgive me!"

Unexpectedly, he also gained a little fan brother, Stannis patted him on the shoulder very proudly, "Where, where, your eldest brother and I have formed an alliance, you can also be said to be my brother, is the matter between brothers still called a matter?"

His words made Barrow IV even more admired, and when he was still trying to compliment a few words, someone interrupted him.

"Lords, please come forward, His Royal Highness Duke Garcia asked me to tell you the information about this operation. ”

It was Patkins, the young wolf lord, who stood on the high platform and shouted, while his half-brother, Robinsey, the only black wolf in the White Wolf family, stood beside him, dutifully guarding him.

Robert next to him couldn't help but admire: "It is worthy of being the son of the Marquis, just standing there highlights his outstanding bearing, and his whole body is full of heroism, I am afraid that the golden human beings created by the legendary gods are like this......!

His next sentence was swallowed back by a glaring at Stannis.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness Duke Garcia was unable to come because of his business, so I asked him to entertain you on his behalf. ”

Stannis knew in his heart that this was the duke's disdain for these little lords at all, and he didn't even bother to be polite on the surface, as long as they worked hard.

"You have probably heard of this operation compared to you, the northernmost Klaus family located in the northern mountains was completely destroyed overnight, so His Royal Highness the Duke wants to know the reason this time, and you are his best eyes, ears and arms. ”

Everyone nodded, the silent extermination of a lord was a big deal, no matter how big or small his title was, this was absolutely intolerable in the Western Continent, especially in the Erathia Empire. Because those nobles absolutely cannot allow this kind of thing to happen, if there is a precedent, then it will be their turn to exterminate the clan next time.

"Could it be the madmen of the Brotherhood of the Eternal Children who did it?, I heard that they have been hiding in the mountains since they were defeated last time!" shouted one of the lords, many nodding in agreement.

When Stannis heard the name, he remembered the terrorist attack he had at the awards ceremony at Zaiwolf's house, when the weird bald head of the controlled wyvern was defeated by Robert, and he shouted 'I'll be back!' and other standard villain lines like that.

Could it be that these cannibalistic guys are out again?

Stannis glanced at the younger brother next to him, only to find that the latter was still talking about the 'Firekiss Sword', the legendary weapon that Stannis had acquired for the first time.

Whitkins shook his head and didn't give an answer, "Until the investigation is completed, everything is speculation, and this time His Royal Highness the Duke has designated Sir Enrique from the Mitage family to take the lead." Your Excellency Enrique, His Royal Highness the Duke has personally ordered that this investigation be your sole responsibility. ”

Stannis frowned, wasn't Whitkins the kid taking the lead in this operation, he was the son of the Marquis! and he was still gathering on his family's territory, and he was also the person who was most familiar with the environment here, so he should have been the one who came out anyway.

It seems that he is not the only one who has questions, and several lords also shouted with such questions, "Young Master Worf, are you not sending troops this time?"

Wilkins shook his head apologetically with a smile, "I'm really sorry, my lords, His Royal Highness the Duke didn't ask us to send troops, and we had to help as much as we could, but don't worry, according to His Royal Highness the Duke's orders, your father's food, equipment, and warm clothes for this operation have been prepared, please collect them yourself." ”

Stannis was puzzled, why didn't the Wolf family, who belonged to the guardians of the North, not need to send troops, could it be that there was some ulterior deal that exempted them from fulfilling their obligations?

At this moment, a teenage kid takes the stage, who appears to be the aforementioned Enrique, the only son of the late Marquis de Mitage. Stannis looked at the bear child, who had not yet grown his hair, and thought that it was too child's play for him to lead his group of wolf-like lords.

But this young man didn't think so, he seemed to be very excited, as we all know, the once prominent Mitage family has lost power for a long time, although the title of Marquis on the head, but it has long been defeated, not only did the Quartet Guardian not get one, but he couldn't even get a seat in the first three rows when the meeting was held, plus the previous generation of Mitage Marquis died early, the family was sparse, and it was difficult to turn over.
