Section 88 Prologue to the Rise
Early the next morning, Gray took Ruken and his attendant Hamp, escorted by a small group of soldiers, to an open field north of the camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the agreement, Viscount Marne only brought a squad of guards, and Gray actually saw Punk, it seems that this Viscount Marne trusts him.
It's just that for unknown reasons, Viscount Marne did not give the title of Punk Knight.
As for the two of them, they are now in the barracks, this is said in advance, of course, it is not really to stay in the army honestly, but the whole team is fully armed, as long as there is an accident here, the forward army can arrive here in ten minutes at the earliest.
"Viscount Marne!" Gray greeted first, and sat upright on his horse and saluted the other.
"Baron Cage!" Viscount Marne immediately returned the salute.
Viscount Marne looked Gray up and down and said, "Yesterday I really want to thank Baron Cage, if it weren't for your army appearing in time, I would have held out for two more days at most, and it would have been possible to withdraw the army!"
Gray smiled slightly, "How could it be?" Viscount Marne's rear territory is stable, the material supply is abundant, and the number of good generals under his command is nearly 10,000, even without my help, you can defeat that little lord." ”
Viscount Marne knew that Gray was flattering, but he couldn't help but smile when he heard the other lord praise him like this.
But his smile was fleeting, and then he urged the horse to take two steps forward and said, "This charcoal business is easy to handle, we can divide the account in five or five, but this city is a little difficult to manage, this is not easy to divide!"
Viscount Marne did not want to talk nonsense and directly raised this most sensitive topic.
Gray was stunned for a moment, then smiled "haha", and looked directly at Viscount Marne: "Harrence City, naturally, it is owned by our Earl, this is destined!"
Hearing this, Viscount Marne looked up at the sky, and spat out two words as if talking to himself: "Really?" Then, he turned his head to stare at Gray, "But, I really want this city, what should I do?"
Gray's face had turned cold, and he snorted, "Please don't have such thoughts!"
Viscount Marne squinted at Gray's guards, then stroked the mane of his war horse, and said lightly: "Even your Gesenburg, I want it!"
Gray was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and several thoughts flashed quickly in his heart, but his face was impassive, and then he smiled: "My Viscount, do you really think that everything is still under your control?" he gently held the saber at his waist.
As soon as Gray's words fell, a soft "poof" sounded in everyone's ears.
The people present were all fighting on the battlefield, and they were all too familiar with this sound, it was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh and blood!
Viscount Marne's eyes shrunk and he stared at Gray's side with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
I saw that Ruken next to Gray had quietly pulled out half of the saber at his waist with his right hand, but the tip of a short sword pierced his chest, and the sword was dripping down with bright red sticky blood.
Ruken looked incredulous, and he turned his head to see that the hilt of the sword was in the hands of his own son.
"Ahh
Crimson blood sprayed on Hamp and Gray.
One of the soldiers guarding next to Gray reacted quickly, he saw this, quickly pressed the sharp spear in his hand down, and stabbed Hamp in the back, seeing that he was about to give Hamp a cold heart, but Gray's reaction was faster, only to hear the sound of "bang", a flash of cold light, and then a "ding" sounded again, and the spear was picked aside by Gray.
"Stop! Ruken is the betrayer!" Gray roared.
When the other soldiers around heard this, Gu was shocked and stopped the spear that was stabbing forward.
"Isn't it shocking?"
Gray looked at the opposite side, the current Viscount of Marne, and was already speechless in shock! At the same time, Gray glanced at Punk next to Viscount Marne.
"You ......" Viscount Marne finally came back to his senses and was about to speak, but then he felt a pain in his neck, and then he could no longer speak, and his vision was fixed on the faint smile on Gray's face.
But look at the punk, the sword in his hand was held horizontally, the sword body was already dyed crimson, and the blood soaked half of his body! Just after receiving Gray's hint, he did not hesitate at all, and drew the sword with a horizontal split, and cut off the head of Viscount Marne on the spot.
Punk succeeded in one blow, and another backhand stab, and a soldier next to him, apparently failed to react from a series of changes, and was stabbed to death by him on the spot.
At this time, the other soldiers finally came to their senses and were about to fight back, but Punk fled to the side with his horse's belly in his horse, and Gray led a small group of soldiers behind him to kill.
The death of the boss has demoralized the remaining soldiers, and after a few more confrontations, Gray's side paid the price of three people, and all the Viscount Marne and his party were killed here.
A faint smell of blood wafted through the air, and everything that had just happened was very fast, from Ruken's beheading by his son to Viscount Marne's beheading by Punk, but it was only a minute.
Smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Gray thought back to what had happened yesterday.
Yesterday, when Gray returned to his tent from the horse farm, he found that the small line on the cowhide was a reminder to Gray that Luck had betrayed him.
Naturally, Gray would not order the arrest of the knight he had canonized because of such an unfounded reminder, and he was already suspicious in worry.
Until the evening, Hamp came to find him, and he had come to expose his father's rebellion.
After listening to Hamp's words, Gray asked Hamp why he did this, and he only replied: "Knight honor, no one is allowed to tarnish!"
Gray knew that Hamp had always talked about this, but he didn't expect him to be so strong in his belief in knights!
Ruken didn't believe until he died that it would be his own son who would kill him, and he didn't understand why, because he had forgotten that when Hamp was a child, he took the trouble to instill the knightly faith in Hamp every day!
Gray called to guess why Rouken would agree to Viscount Marne's request, very simply, the benefits given by the other party must be large enough, and it is even possible to promise Rouken that after the matter is completed, Gersenburg will be handed over to Rouken to rule.
Gray thought to himself that if he really died like this, Viscount Marne still had hope of occupying the entire territory of Harrens's territory in a short time, including the Gersenburg area.
At that time, the power of Viscount Emarne would no longer have to worry about the retaliation of Count Lockton.
Gray knew that Ruken was smart and capable, and he saw it very clearly, and if he did succeed, no one would be able to help him.
As Hamp is cleaning up his father's body, a man who will be known as a 'patricide' for the rest of his life, Gray feels that he should do something for Hamp.
"Knight Ruken died fighting to protect me, you must understand that!" Gray said to the remaining soldiers and Punk, and his faint tone revealed a murderous aura.
At this moment, there was a shout of killing from the side of Viscount Marne's barracks, and Gray followed the voice, with a slight smile on his face.
At the same time, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance, followed by more and more cavalry, their speed was extremely fast, and in just a few moments, a large group of cavalry appeared in Gray's field of vision.
"It's the banner of Knight Rena!" one of the soldiers whispered.
Gray glanced at Punk, Rena's troops had arrived yesterday, Gray had let her lead the troops to ambush in this vicinity just in case, as long as there was any accident, Gray only held out for a short time, and these cavalry would arrive.
Punk's face was expressionless, and he drove his horse over, rolled and dismounted five paces away from Gray, and fell to one knee.
"I'll grant you your wishes, Punk!" was Gray's promise.
