Chapter 139: Shocked

Soon more than a dozen long tables were set up in the spacious tent, and unlike the long wooden tables enjoyed by the knights outside, these long tables were very delicate, and the servants also spread white fine linen tablecloths on them, and placed flowers and fruits on them.

There are twelve long tables in total, divided into two rows, each flanked by twelve chairs. Lorist looked at it, it may be that Viscount Kenmax thought that this was a knightly tournament jointly organized by the two families, so he did not arrange the main seat, and perhaps he didn't want the Norton family to take this opportunity to be in the limelight. But that's fine, everyone is equal.

The middle tables were all seated by the lords, except for Lorist and Viscount Kenmeth, who were placed at the top of the first long table facing each other for the purpose of hosting the conference, the other seats were arranged according to the height of the title, and there were also those ladies and ladies in between. The long tables on the side were filled with invited guests or golden knights who were attending the banquet with their lords. Orister discovers that only two lords have come with two Golden Knights, except for Joske, like Sedcamp, who has also been given a seat on behalf of the Norton family in charge of the conference.

This was Lorlist's first time attending a formal banquet for the nobility, so he was somewhat reserved. And Viscount Kenmeth, who was sitting opposite him, was full of witty words and laughter, which made people have to admire his well-informed, especially some sensational events that occurred on the continent of Gelinthia, which made the surrounding Northland lords listen to it with fascination.

Lorist used a silver knife and fork to cut the delicious and juicy veal steak and put it in his mouth, while listening to Viscount Kenmeth talk endlessly about the customs of various countries, at this time the viscount was talking about the city of Moldent, the topic changed and asked Lorlist: "I heard that Baron Norton left home to study in Moldent City for nearly ten years, do you know what happened a major event in the city of Moldent last year?"

Last year, it didn't seem like anything happened, and I hadn't heard anything big happen until I left Morente City. Lorist shook his head: "I came back last year after receiving a message from my family, and I don't know what happened in Moriente City. ”

"Well, you're back too early. A Black Iron Instructor named Locke from the Dawn Academy in Morent City single-handedly challenged the Silver Sect of all the academies, and the Silver Sect of more than twenty academies were defeated by his sword. Then this Black Iron Rock instructor set up a ring in the Dawn Academy, which lasted for almost half a year, and defeated three thousand silver players in Morent City in a row, all of them were invincible, known as Black Iron Lock, and the silver was invincible. It's a pity that I didn't make it to the city of Moriente to see this legendary teacher. Viscount Kenmath was very emotional.

It's okay, brother will sit in front of you, you can open your eyes and watch as much as you want......

"Well, I know, Locke's swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary, and he deserves that title. Lorist said without blushing at all.

Viscount Kenmeth on the opposite side smiled and picked up the silver cup and changed the topic: "This knightly tournament has been held for twenty-seven days, and Baron Norton has not shown up until today, wouldn't it be a small fight in a metropolis like Moriente City that is used to being lively and looks down on the Northland to hold a knightly tournament?"

Lorist also raised the silver cup in his hand: "Hehe, there is really no way, there are many affairs in the territory and I have been busy." Everyone knows that I have just inherited the title and the territory, and it is forgivable that I can't get out. But Lord Viscount, by the way, it's time to call you Lord Count, and it's a pleasure to hear that Count López has passed on his title and territory to you, and this glass of wine is my best wish you further congratulations. ”

Lorist's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the big tent, and the noisy big tent fell silent for a while, and everyone's eyes were focused on Viscount Kenmeth. Several lords of the eastern region couldn't sit still, and seemed to want to leave and return to their own territory immediately. Baron Philim of the Pegasus family was thoughtful.

Viscount Kenmeth's smile froze on his face for a moment, but his reaction was also very fast, and he suddenly became a little sad: "Alas, everyone knows that I have been here to participate in this conference, and I never expected such a change to happen. As we all know, Count López has always been good friends with his father, which can be called irreversible. I didn't expect to be seriously injured in the battle against the mountain barbarians. Didn't he write to me some time ago asking for help? I sent the family armed faction in my hand to him to command. I didn't expect that I just received the news yesterday that Count López would entrust me with the title and territory on his deathbed, asking me to take care of my two sisters and fight against the invasion of the mountain barbarians. It is my bounden duty to take care of my two younger sisters, but I can fight against the mountain barbarians, but I am worried to death. ”

Lorist smiled and comforted: "The Kenmax family is a business family, and they will definitely find a way to live in peace with the mountain barbarians." As long as the mountain barbarians don't invade, then the county of López that you inherited will be greatly developed......"

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kind words. However, I heard that the Norton family refused Duke Lukins' request last time, and wounded the Golden Knight Tabek, who was escorting the emissary, which angered the Duke and declared that he would send the Northland Legion to retaliate. I don't know if Lord Baron needs everyone's help to mediate in front of Lord Duke for you, say something kind, maybe Lord Duke will let the Norton family go......" Viscount Lima of Kenmax fought back.

"There's no need for that. Lorist took a sip of the wine in the silver cup without hurry, and said slowly: "That Duke Lukins has sent two brigades of the Northland Legion with more than 4,000 people to invade my family territory, led by the two golden knights of Cavani and Henned. When they came in, they killed all the residents of Kitano Town who showed them the way......"

Lorist could clearly see the surprise and consternation in Viscount Kenmeth's eyes.

"Slaughter the city?" asked Viscount Kenmeth.

The surprise should be that Duke Lukins' army has entered the territory of the Norton family, and I don't know how the Duke can find another way to enter the territory of the Norton family. The astonishment is the atrocity of the slaughter of the city, the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, and there has been a lack of manpower for development, even if two lords fight, they will generally not attack the people, and at most they will be plundered. The Duke of Lukins actually slaughtered the city in the Northlands, and this news will definitely cause criticism and hostility among all the Northland lords, and no one likes to deal with a murderous and greedy lord.

There was a whisper in the tent, and all the lords and guests were discussing the news that Lorist had just revealed, and the noblewomen and ladies who knew that Josque was a knight of the Norton family expressed sympathy and inquired about the details, which made Josque overwhelmed and sweated profusely.

Many lords looked at Lorist sympathetically, more than 4,000 people in the two brigades of the Northland Legion, plus Duke Lukins's chief golden knight Giovanni and golden knight Henned, should be enough for the Norton family. Don't look at the new head of the Norton family, the new lord is sitting here to attend the banquet, maybe he has already surrendered to the Duke and been looted, so he will be spared, and he should be able to save face by sitting here. After all, everyone here knows very well what kind of virtue the Duke is.

It's just that Baron Philim of the Pegasus family looked at Lorist with suspicion, because Lorlist's performance didn't seem to be at ease with this matter at all, and he also scolded the Duke for being a dog*, which could not be scolded by a person who surrendered to the Duke's army.

"Yes, the men, the old, and the little ones have all been killed, leaving more than a thousand women and girls to be sold to the slave traders. Is this* mother-raised Northland Grand Duke still human, such things have been done. I couldn't spare time to deal with these things, and I didn't come to the conference until a few days ago. As he spoke, Lorist forked a piece of cut beef and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing his mouth full of oil: "Well, your chef is good, and this tastes really good." ”

"Vomit...... Sold to slave traders, it's horrible......"

Lorist looked back, but saw a young lady standing beside Joske fall on Joske's body and faint, which perfectly reflects the mercy and kindness of a noble and pure noble lady when she hears about the evil deeds of the world. Poor Joske would be helpless, not helped, not helped, and could only cast a pleading look at Lorlist.

"You deserve it, who told you to look so handsome and dress up like a white peacock......" Lorist turned his head and pretended not to see anything.

"If you like it, the Baron, I'll serve you another veal steak. Viscount Kenmax kept turning the silver cup in his hand, and finally waited for Lorist to swallow the beef in his mouth, took a sip of wine, and asked impatiently, "What happened later?"

"What?" said Lorlist, who was wondering if it was really another veal steak.

"Ah, didn't you say that Duke Lukins sent an army of 4,000 people into your family territory and slaughtered the town of Kitano? What next?" Viscount Kenmax couldn't wait to smash the silver cup in his hand on Lorlist's head, can't he make it clear before eating, how long have you not eaten veal steak? Are you so greedy? It can't be that the Duke's army swept your family away, and you can't even eat a piece of beef, right?

"Oh, you said that the duke's army of more than 4,000 people, hehe, it is all destroyed, and it is easy to come in and have no way to escape. Lorist said lightly.

"Bang dang" The silver cup in Viscount Kenmeth's hand fell to the ground, not only him, followed by the sound of several wine glasses falling to the ground, and all the nobles of the territory looked at Lorist in amazement.

"You, what are you talking about, what's all gone?" said Viscount Kenmeth, ignoring the silver cup on the ground, jumped up and pointed at Lorlist.

"Didn't you just destroy the duke's army of more than 4,000 people? What is the fuss, such a big man can't even hold a cup, it's really rough. I wanted to ask you to do something, but now it seems that I have to reconsider. Lorist said slowly.

"How can it be......" cried out Viscount Kenmeth.

At the beginning, they were newly canonized to the Northland, and the strongest force among them was a golden guard of the second prince, as if because the second prince's wife, Her Majesty the Queen of the Iberian Kingdom had an entanglement with this golden guard, so the second prince kicked him to the northland and became a baron. Perhaps it was the patronage of Her Majesty the Queen or something, this golden guard brought nearly a thousand men to the Northland, refusing to bow to the Duke. As a result, the Duke sent more than 2,000 soldiers of the Northland Legion, and it took only three days for the new Baron to conquer the castle under the leadership of the Knight of Giovanni. The head of the golden guard of the former second prince still hangs on the walls of the Duke's capital, Gildusk, and every time Viscount Kenmax enters and exits the city gates, he sees the dried head.

This is the reason why all the nobles of the Northlands bow down to Duke Lukins, a lesson from the past. No one dared to confront the Northland Legion, and the Duke became even more arrogant because of this, wantonly sending and looting the Northland Lords. Now Lorist jumped out and said that he had killed more than 4,000 people of the Northland Legion, which shocked these territorial nobles on the spot, and they were very surprised.

"By the way, what about the two knights, Cervanny and Henned?" Viscount Kenmax asked eagerly, Lorist said that he had wiped out more than 4,000 people in the Northlands, and if the two golden knights who led the army escaped, it must be that Lorist was lying. Knight Henneid might have fled, but Knight Chevani was an old acquaintance of Viscount Kenmez and knew his character well, and an old man like this would never abandon his troops and run away.

"Well, what I want you to do is related to them. The old god Lorist asked Viscount Kenmeth, "I heard that you have a good relationship with that?"

"Still, it's okay, what did you just say that it has to do with them?" Viscount Kenmax was eager to tear Lorlist's mouth open, don't talk about it!

"That's right, the Chevani knight died heroically. I gathered his body and asked the Viscount to hand it over to his family. In addition, we captured Henneld, the Golden Knight, and a dozen Silver Knights, hoping to redeem their freedom. So I'm giving you the list, and you can tell their families or their friends in the Northland Legion to come here and ransom them. Lorist said.

"No, shouldn't you give the list to the Duke?" asked Viscount Kenmax curiously.

"Well, I've asked about this too. Lorist replied, "The captive Silver Knights did not believe that the Duke would ransom them, so they preferred to seek help from their own family and friends." ”

Viscount Kenmeth was stunned when he heard this, and immediately came back to his senses: Good means, good intentions, if this word is spread in the Northland Legion, who will work hard for the Duke. But I'm really willing to do it, and making some trouble for the Duke is to give his family a chance to develop and grow.

"Alright then, I'll be happy to help with this favor. Viscount Kenmax looked at Lorist and asked with concern: "You have eliminated the Duke's army, I think there are many casualties, if you need help, don't be polite." ”

Hehe, Lorist looked at Viscount Kenmeth and was happy, and he didn't forget the 100,000 Kingford's private money, and he wanted to find out our truth and see if he could rob while the fire was hot, right?

"Alas, yes, there are heavy casualties...... "Lorist sighed deeply: "We have killed more than twenty or thirty people in the battle, and wounded nearly a hundred, the losses are too heavy......"

Viscount Kenmax turned his head and left, lazily listening to Lorist's nonsense.

Lorist yelled from behind, "Hey, don't go, didn't you say you wanted to help?"

......
