Ancient Oak City.

The new lord, Count Torgen Oakhet, walked up and down the hall restlessly, his eyes bloodshot.

He hadn't closed his eyes for days, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The Madang army outside the city had already begun to attack the city, how could he possibly sleep.

And he thought about it for a few days and nights, and he couldn't figure out how the Ma Party could suddenly gather a large army to attack Ancient Oak City.

How dare they?

The eldest son of the Duke of High Court, Velas Tyrell, was obviously a hostage in Ancient Oak City, weren't they afraid that they would kill him themselves?

"Didn't the High Court reply?" Villas sat in a wheelchair with a blanket over her legs and a solemn expression.

"Nope." Count Togan muffled.

Five days earlier, when Earl Togan had received news that a large army of the Horse Party was heading for Ancient Oak, he had realized that something was wrong.

He immediately released the raven to send a letter to the High Court to inquire about the situation.

But until now, the High Court has not replied.

Could it really be that the military operation was supported by the Tyrells, as the Ma Party claimed, and the High Court was determined to liquidate the previous rebellion?

"How many ravens did you send?" Vilas asked again.

"I've sent all the ravens of Ancient Oak City away!" Count Togan gritted his teeth and said, "And if you calculate the time, the High Court should have received the letter a long time ago!" But there was no response! Why, Lady Olenna is sure that I won't dare to kill you! ”

"Don't get excited, this operation is very likely to be the Ma Party's own initiative, and if you kill me, it will create a reasonable excuse for their actions." Vilas tried to appease Count Togan.

"Then why didn't the High Court reply!"

Velasten was speechless, and a trace of confusion and pain flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his clarity and said:

"Maybe the raven had an accident......"

"It's possible that one or two had an accident, but all the ravens had an accident?" Count Togan didn't have a good breath, and he looked extremely anxious at this time, "And I also deliberately asked the Bachelor to release a batch of ravens at night, you tell me, even if the horse party arranges sharpshooters around Ancient Oak City, it can shoot ravens in the dark?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Velas said, "It may be that there are other reasons that prevent the Raven from reaching the High Court......"

Boom –

A loud bang interrupted the conversation between the two.

With a roar, the whole castle shook violently, the tapestries on the walls fell to the ground, and the crystal candlestick in the center of the ceiling could no longer hold on, and fell violently, shattering on the floor.

Fortunately, Count Togan saw that the opportunity was not good, and he had already dodged it, otherwise he would definitely have been smashed to the head and bleeding.

Fine dust filled the hall, causing Velas to cough violently.

"What's going on!" Count Togan exclaimed in horror, "What was it just now?" ”

"Ahem, ahem......" Villas' pupils constricted suddenly, and he suddenly remembered a battle report from the previous attack on Stormland Bronze Gate City by the Riverbend army.

Could it be that thing?

Before he could recover his composure, he saw that Count Togan had already strode out.

Velas spun the wheels of his chair and tried to go out to see what was going on, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"I'm sorry, Lord Vilas, but for your safety, please stay in your room."

Vilas had no choice but to return to her room.

The foreboding in his heart grew stronger, but he knew that he could not do anything at this time.

Thousands of thoughts swirled through his mind, but Villas couldn't find a solution to the current crisis.

This is most likely a kill against yourself!

The Horse Party is trying to force the Oakhut family to kill themselves!

Velas knew that the Horse Party was very unhappy with the previous Tyrells' behavior of conniving at the Deer Rebellion, and that Caesar was ambitious, but he couldn't understand why the other party reacted so violently.

Forcing the heir of the feudal monarch to death, even if this kind of thing can make the deer party take the blame, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on.

How will Caesar deal with the aftermath in the future? How to appease people's hearts?

The Tyrells weren't sorry for him......

It wasn't long before Count Togan returned, covered in murderous aura and blood.

"What's wrong?" Velas looked at Count Togan's state and felt sorry for himself.

"The city is broken." Count Togan said with red eyes.

"Sure enough......," Villas calmed down, his brain spinning, "Listen to me, Lord Togan." This matter will never be instigated by the High Court......"

"Why can't it be?" Count Togan smiled, a look of madness flashing in his eyes, "Maybe you're overestimating your position in the Tyrells, after all, the inflatable fish has three sons, what's the big deal if you die one or two." ”

Velas looked at Count Togan, who was walking towards him with a sword, and hurriedly said:

"Don't be impulsive, Lord Togan, let me talk to the Horse Party......"

"You're going to talk? You went to the horse party to detain you, what chips do I have in my hand? You take me for a fool? Count Togan sneered, then waved his hand at the guards behind him.

Velas was about to persuade him again, when two guards stepped forward and held him down.

"Listen to me, Lord Togan......"

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Count Togan raised his sword, "I'll cut off one of your legs and give it to the Horse Clan, so they know that I can't do it!" ”

"Togan! Other! Ahh

The sword slashed, and blood splattered.

Count Togan picked up the broken leg on the ground and handed it to his men, and said:

"Tell Matus Rowan that if there is no more fighting, there will be more 'Velas' sent to him!"

"Yes."

Count Togan summoned the Bachelor to stop the bleeding from Vilas, and said:

"Don't hate me, Vilas, you're dead on this leg anyway."

Velas was sweating profusely in pain, gasping for breath:

"It's useless, Togan, the Horse Party wants you to kill me."

"Then what else can I do!" Count Togan roared angrily, like a beast in a desperate situation.

"Your best bet is actually to hand me over to the Ma Party alive." "It's best to hand me over in plain sight." In this way, Matus will not dare to kill me, and you Oakhut family will have a chance to live......"

"You're taking me for a fool!" Count Togan said angrily, "I handed you over, how can I guarantee that the Tyrells will not retaliate afterwards?" Hahaha, that's the idea you guys, right? You just think I don't dare to kill hostages, right? ”

"I swear in the honor of the heir of the High Court that I will never pursue the ...... of the Oakhut family"

"Bullshit reputation!" Count Togan became more and more annoyed, "I just believed your bullshit promises, and I ended up today!" ”

"As I said, this operation was definitely not the idea of the Tyrells. It's the Ma Party's own assertions......"

"Enough! Vilas, I've seen it through, your Tyrells are sure that I won't dare to kill you, so you have no fear! ”

"There is absolutely no ......"

Then the messenger went and returned.

"How?" Count Togan hurriedly asked.

The emissary's face was ugly: "My lord, Count Matus said that your only way to survive is to hand over Velas Tyrell, otherwise, the war will not stop." And if you dare to harm Sir Vilas's life, then, ......"

"What then?"

"Then the High Court will exterminate Oakhet......"

"Impossible!" Vilas shouted, "The High Court would never do such a thing!" ”

He tried to persuade him, trying to convince Count Togan of himself.

But Count Togan was silent, and his face became more and more ugly.

The shouts of killing outside were getting closer and louder.

Count Togan knew that the Oakhut family would not be able to resist for long.

Despair and remorse gripped his heart, and he finally made a final decision.

When Velas saw Count Togan walking towards him again with his blood-dripping sword, he was horrified:

"Togan! Listen to me! You can't kill me, it will only make the situation completely irreparable......"

"Vilas." Count Togan's tone became extremely calm, with a dead despair, "What I regret most is that I listened to your promise in the High Court, your Tyrellle's promise.

Perhaps I should wake up when the Faceless One slit Lady Ewen's throat that you have no intention of sparing the Oakhert family.

Yes, you never have.

So, I'm not going to let you go. ”

With that, he stabbed a sword into Vilas's chest.

The gushing blood splattered Count Togan's body, making him look terrible.

"Chop off his head and give it to Matus Rowan."

"Yes......"

After the guards had left, Count Togan stood alone in the room.

It wasn't until he heard hurried footsteps approaching that he came to his senses, and then slit his throat with a sword.

When the Margarian army rushed in, all they saw was the corpse of Count Togan.

——————————

Fruit Wine Room.

Count Randolph Tully walked through the castle gates.

The fighting in the city continues, but the defeat of the Fosowe family is already a foregone conclusion.

As more and more Equestrian soldiers poured into the city, the balance of victory was tilted and irreversible.

A herald ran up to him and reported:

"Lord Landau, we found Garland Tyrell and Count Fossoway on the second floor of the main castle, and he said he wanted to see you in person......"

"I see." Count Landau nodded indifferently, but he didn't go to see Count Fosowe at all.

After waiting for a while, I saw a young man covered in blood walk in.

Count Landau recognized this man as his son's knight, Chiman Huya, a former savage who was said to be famous in the Crimson Mountains.

"Lord Randolph, Garland Tyrell has been killed by Count Fossoway, and in order to avenge him, I also killed Count Fosoway." Cheman reported with a blank face.

"Okay." Of course, Earl Landau would not ask whether this was true or false, as long as Garland died in the wine hall, and it didn't matter who killed him.

"Collect the body of Sir Garland and send it to the High Court with the head of the Earl of Forthwe. Tell the Tyrells that we have followed Lady Olenna's orders and put down the Deer rebellion. ”

"Yes." Cheman nodded, and was about to leave.

But Count Landau didn't seem to be at ease, and said again:

"Remember, it was Madame Olenna's orders, not the Duke of Mace's."

"Remembered." Cheman smiled slightly, as if he had understood what Count Landau meant.
