"Lord Leon, I swear...... That's really Igor himself......

Fawsett and Grandron looked at each other, their voices visibly shaking.

"I could have sworn I really killed him......

Leon frowned and thought for a while, then turned to Grandron and asked, "You just said ...... Did he go to prepare the contract? When will he come back to Long River?"

"If nothing else, he'll be here in two or three days...... After all, we wouldn't dare to attack the king without first seeing the deed of abonement......

Grandron replied quickly, he also saw Leon's face, realized that that Igor should really be dead, and in this incomprehensible situation, he seemed quite cooperative.

"Well, it doesn't matter if that Igor is dead or alive, you have to catch him anyway......

Leon pondered for a moment, looked back at the fragments of fishing nets all over the ground behind him, and asked, "Grandlon, where is the king's seal?"

"Your Excellency Leon...... If I hand over the king's seal, I'm afraid I'll die, right?"

When asked about this, Grandon was not so cooperative, he looked at Leon and shook his head: "I want to live......

"Ugh...... Hand over the golden seal, and I promise to give you a way to live."

Leon sighed, he really didn't want to kill Grandon - there was no grudge, Grandon himself hadn't done anything hurtful, and he hadn't harmed Leon, so there was no need to kill.

"Lord Leon, I know what my crime is, and it's because I know that I don't admit it, and I will try to make up for it...... It's not that I don't believe you, I just don't believe that there is any other way for me to live......

Grandlon smiled bitterly, still shaking his head.

"If you know the crime, you still dare to usurp the king's authority in the first place?"

Li Ang replied angrily.

"Forsette had planned to remove all the hidden dangers of Lion Lake City, and in order to save my life, I had to leave Lion Lake City. It was out of desperation that he had deceived Long River from Master Godric - after all, it was impossible for the Lionlake Banner Guard to follow a wanderer, and if I lost this unit, I would surely die...... So I had to find a base. Using the King's Seal to control the King's Territory was the only option I had at the time, and I would have a chance to return to Lion Lake...... Fawsett would have been willing to exchange territory with me......

Grandlon didn't seem to regret his decision at the time, but halfway through the conversation, he looked at Forsette.

Fawsett sighed as well, "He wasn't lying. Of course, I'm happy to trade Lion Lake City for Long River Town, after all, I've been an administrator here for so long...... And at that time I had to take refuge in Ursula, knowing that it would most likely lead to an attack from the Raven Kingdom, and that it would be safer in Long River. I just didn't expect the Raven army to come too quickly, and I didn't expect that Kedren bastard to let us go to Talon Fort to negotiate just to trick us into going over and stop the enemy! I called him uncle for twenty years!"

After Grandlon's funeral at Alma's funeral in the town of Long River, Forsette was indeed caught by him.

The two reached an agreement in Long River at the time, and negotiated a deal in which Forcette traded Lion Lake City for Long River Town in Grandlon's hands.

For Grandlon, this would solve the problem of him using the King's Seal to deceive the city - Grandlon would give the gold seal to Forsette, who would bear the charge, anyway, Forsette was both accused of killing his relatives and had taken refuge in Ursula, who was already treasonous, and he could still negotiate terms with a King's Seal in his hand.

As far as Forsette is concerned, he has killed too many brothers and sisters in Lion Lake City, and it is inevitable that people from the family will seek revenge against him, so it is better to bring his cronies and family and army to Changhe Town, where he has been acting for a while and is no stranger to this place.

It's a good way for both.

But the problem is that the two of them don't trust each other very much - in fact, their feud stems from mutual distrust in the first place......

So, they decided to let Kedren be the middleman - Kedran had a good relationship with both of them, and with such a middleman, the two would be at ease with the deal.

However, Kedren said that the army of the Raven Kingdom might be coming soon, and he couldn't get away from Talon Fort, hoping that the two would lead the army to Eagle Claw Castle to fight him together, and complete the deal by the way.

On the one hand, guarding Eagle Talon Fort is equivalent to protecting Lion Lake City - this is the hometown of the two of them, and they are indeed willing to protect it, and the heavy cavalry of the Lion Lake City Flag Guard will definitely defend their hometown.

Grandlon could not afford to lose this force, so he had to go.

On the other hand, Ursula also expressed his desire for Forcease to fight against the Raven army, and Ursula was indeed in Talon at the time.

Because they have to fight together against the Raven army, so that Ursula's rebels can form an alliance with the Lion Kingdom, so that Ursula's Forsette will no longer be pursued by the Lion Kingdom.

Forsette's defection to Ursula was meant to be this, so he had to go too.

So the two of them took their troops to Talon Fort, and while they were engaged with the troops of the Raven Kingdom, Kedren slipped away to Lion Lake City......

They all made the most reasonable judgment in the circumstances, and no one was stupid.

And now, they were still awake - the golden seal, though it was a curse for Grandlon, was also his talisman, and he certainly did not want to hand it over.

"Granlon, in fact, for me, if you don't hand over the golden seal, I can kill you...... Whether the King's Seal is available or not doesn't matter to me......

Leon began to bluff.

"If you capture the town of Changhe and say that you haven't found the seal, then everyone will suspect that you have hidden the gold seal and have a bad plan...... Don't bluff me, Lord Leon, I know that if I don't hand over the seal, I won't die......

Leon's bluff failed at the beginning, and Grandlon was sober and not at all fooled.

"Forsette, you work with him...... You know where that thing is, right? If he hides it from you, how can your cooperation be maintained......

Seeing that Grandon was not easy to deal with, Leon changed the target, and this time he used provocation.

"Lord Leon, I didn't need to know about this, and I didn't ask. I can only work with him now...... Still, as much as I would love to kill Ursula right away, I'm still her vassal. She is an ally of the Lion Kingdom, so I will definitely not die if I fall into the hands of the lord of the Lion Kingdom...... So don't scare me."

Fawsett also saw it very clearly, so he was the first to say surrender......

Indeed, Ursula is now an ally of the Lion Kingdom, and even if Forsette is a traitor to the Lion Kingdom, no one will kill him during the alliance.

After all, Lion Lake City has returned to the hands of the Lion Kingdom, and there is no need for the Lion Kingdom to force Ursula, an ally, into an enemy.

At most, it is to be locked up first, waiting for the autumn to settle accounts, or it may be released after the autumn.

- If Ursula becomes King Ulrik's queen, then Fawsett will most likely be pardoned.

"You really don't know? So why would you take this risk with him? You're not in danger of your life right now......

These two guys are not easy to deal with, Li Ang is a little nerve-wracking, sure enough, every nobleman is a human spirit, and no one is stupider than the other.

"I want to return to the Lion Kingdom...... Ursula's sinister woman can fool me once and a second time, and my declaration of allegiance to her is only expedient...... Don't ask me, Lord Leon, I really don't know. I've learned now that sometimes you can live longer if you know less......

Forsette shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking very sincere.

It seems that these days, this young master of the year is indeed growing rapidly, not only becoming ruthless, but also really learning a lot of truths.

"In this case, I will give you a way to wash away your sins once and for all, and ensure that you can still be the nobles of the Lion Kingdom, but you must cooperate with me well, and the golden seal must be handed over to me intact......

The two of them were not easy to deal with, so Leon had to sincerely give them a way out.

"How?"

Both of them were interested, and that was what they were pursuing, and it would be better if they didn't kidnap the king.

"I know what happened to that Igor from the dead......

Leon could indeed guess what happened to that Igor's resurrection, after all, he had seen the Three Prophets use the body of the Doom Usher to resurrect the soul.

This is presumably with the help of the power of the dark goddess Ereda......

According to what Sarah knew at the time, it is likely that only those who believe in the dark goddess Ereda with all their hearts can "rise from the dead" in this way and not lose their sanity.

It is estimated that Igor is also a high-ranking member of the heretical sect of the Dark Goddess......

I recalled Igor's appearance - thin and thin, withered face, as if a gust of wind could blow down, the whole person was weak, and even his hair was withered.

Igor was only in his forties, but he looked like he was in his seventies.

When he first met him in the throne room, Leon felt that something was wrong.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid he gave all his blood to the Goddess of Darkness, right?

After settling in Changhe Town, Li Ang did not hang his flag in Changhe Town, and basically did not show up.

He was just constantly assigning tasks to the dart masters of the Long River Express, and one by one the convoys were heading to the west.

Godric re-inhabited his eastern military chief's office and did not show up.

Grandlon and Forsette, on the other hand, had been keeping law and order in the city, and after listening to Leon's plan, they were very cooperative.

Leon told them about the abilities of the Three Prophets, and of course the two would cooperate.

After all, they really don't want to have anything to do with heresy......

Three days later.

Leon hid in a corner of the city wall and saw Igor's arrival with his own eyes.

This is indeed the same Igor before, and he still has a noble collar around his neck - it is the beginning of September, and the weather is very hot, but this guy has wrapped his collar like winter, which must be to hide the arrow wound on his neck.

Igor is very low-key these days, with only five or six retinues, but those retinues look mysterious.

The retinue were all knights with black hoods, and basically every knight was wearing a black burqa, which looked a bit like the style of Dexia, but these people were certainly not Deschas.

And all of these knights were on one horse and two horses—the other pack horse was supposed to carry their armor.

Of course, they don't wear armor when they are in a hurry, but Li Ang can see from the expressions and movements of these people that they should all be extraordinary.

Grandlon stepped in to welcome Igor into the city, and then the gates fell.

A large net also fell at the same time.

Igor saw the net—he had already subconsciously glanced at the top of his head, because he had come up with the idea.

"Grandlon! Don't you want to live?!"

Igor was dancing and shouting, but he clearly couldn't avoid the reach of the nets.

Grandron watched with a blank face as the nets fell and enveloped Igor.

Enjoy your own ideas, and Igor was caught in the net very smoothly.

Igor's retinue was also cut off by the city gates, and two of those who fell behind failed to enter the city.

This is not intended to be truncated, after all, there are only a few of Igor's people.

The gates were closed just in case, and no one was sure if it was possible for this resurrected creature to escape from the fishing nets and cut off his escape.

Then, a group of soldiers emerged from all corners and began to collect the net.

The purpose of capturing Igor with a net is, of course, to try to prevent him from causing any problems, after all, Leon is not sure what strange abilities these heretics will have.

However, Igor doesn't seem to have any special abilities......

On the contrary, the knights he brought with him showed extremely strong combat effectiveness.

There were four knights who followed Igor into the city, a few meters away from Igor and out of range of the nets.

And these people are really extraordinary

, reacted immediately under the sudden accident, and rushed towards Igor with his sword drawn in unison!

Looks like you want to save people?

The soldiers who were in charge of collecting the nets were all under Forsette, and when they saw this, they immediately dragged the nets and began to run back, so as not to cut the nets and Igor was released.

But no one expected that the few entourages brought by Igor didn't seem to intend to cut through the net - the knight who ran at the front directly threw the sword in his hand!

Thrown at Igor!

Damn, this is going to be extinguished......

This fratricidal situation caught Leon, Grandlon, and the others a little off guard......

They didn't plan to kill these people, but they didn't expect Igor's guards to react like this!

Seeing that Igor was captured by the net, he was going to kill Igor?

That certainly won't make them get their wish!

Fortunately, the sword that was thrown out was flicked by the tough fishnet rope, and it only caused a cut to Igor, which should not have been fatal, but Igor seemed to be unresponsive all of a sudden, and he didn't struggle.

Igor didn't faint, his eyes were still open, but he didn't cry out of pain at all, not even an instinctive contraction reaction - he didn't feel any pain now.

But his eyes still retained a look of horror, and it seemed that he himself did not expect those knights to kill him.

The soldiers in a state of siege had already surrounded him, but the black-clad knights were still chasing Igor, and it seemed that they would rather die themselves than kill Igor first.

Li Ang originally planned to watch a play on the city wall, but when he encountered this situation, he could only run down quickly, but he felt that it might be a little too late......

The soldiers in charge of collecting the nets pulled the ropes, and there were several meters away from Igor in the net, and there was no time to stop the black knights.

But they were all elite veterans under Forsette, and they dragged the net back quite fast, but they avoided Igor being hacked to death on the spot.

Everyone knew that the person who was going to be captured alive with the net must be for questioning, and of course he could not be killed.

Although Igor was dragged for more than ten meters on the uneven road paved with stone slabs, he must have been rubbed quite badly, but he managed to save his life, and the black knights were now blocked.

However, surprisingly, it was not any warrior in Long River Town who stopped the other black knights, but one of the black knights......

It was a middle-aged knight with a full beard, who seemed to be quite skilled, and one person actually blocked the other three knights.

"Jocelyn! What are you going to do?"

The other knights brought by Igor didn't seem to expect the beard to stop them at this juncture, and they all looked shocked and angry.

"Do what? Doing these unseemly things every day! And to die for such unsightly things! How could I possibly be with you again?!"

The bearded man known as Jocelyn roared loudly and swept his broadsword around, forcing the three black knights back.

Jocelyn was already in front of Igor.

"Traitor! You'll regret it!"

The three black knights attacked Jocelyn together, but there was obviously a big gap between them and Jocelin's martial arts, and the three fights and one still couldn't break through Jocelin's obstacles.

At this time, the rest of Forsette's men finally surrounded them.

At this time, Li Ang had also run down the stairs on the inner side of the city wall, with a sword in his hand.

"Lay down your arms! I won't kill you!"

Leon shouted at the knights.

He felt that this matter was just getting complicated, and he wanted to make a few more jobs.

"I surrender...... I'm not in the same league as them!"

Jocelyn happily threw down his sword and raised his hand, not intending to resist at all, and took a few steps back to make it easier for the soldiers to surround the other three knights.

Outside the city gates, the other two black-clad knights, who had been left unattended, had now begun to run away.

If you close the city gate for a while, it will be difficult to chase,

The archers of the tower were shooting arrows at them.

However, since it was inconvenient for the Noldor rangers to appear here, the archers on the walls were all Forsette's men - if Leon's men appeared near the city gate, Igor would definitely not enter the city, and might have turned around and fled if he saw it from afar......

Therefore, there were only a few Lion Realm archers on the city tower, and their skills were relatively rough, and although they shot and injured two black-clothed knights, they still ran away.

After all, people ride horses and run quite fast, and bows and arrows are not the traditional advantages of the Lion Kingdom, and the level of these Lion Realm archers under Forsette is really indescribable......

"Jocelyn! The traitors don't end well!"

The three black knights looked very determined, they ignored Leon, and instead resolutely rushed towards Jocelyn - it was impossible to kill Igor, they wanted to kill Jocelyn who had thrown down his sword.

But such an act was tantamount to suicide, and the soldiers stabbed in a barrage, and the three black-clad knights fell.

There was no way, they were completely a desperate attitude, and the soldiers did not dare to stop.

"Those are the Twilight Knights, right?"

Leon glanced at Jocelyn, who was outstretched and acting honestly, first frowned and walked to Igor's side, and stabbed Igor with his toes: "What is your identity?" Igor? Why did the Dusk Knight kill you?"
