12 midnight.

It's silent.

In the dark streets, a cavalryman, armed with a torch, galloped through the streets of Silvermoon Castle.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves startled the dogs to bark.

Soon, the cavalry came to the Mochizuki Garden, where Vupos was, and he shouted.

"Marshal ~ Marshal ~ Something Wrong ~"

The sound first alarmed the hounds in the garden, then the butlers that Fupos had brought to the garden, and at last, the entire Mochizuki garden woke up.

The cavalry was put into the garden.

The door opened, and Vopos, led by the butler, walked out wearing only a dressing gown.

Today, for the first time in his adult life, he rested in Mochizuki Garden, and he had just slept for less than half an hour.

"What's going on?"

"Shabolai~ Shabolai controls the First Legion~ He is coming over this way with the soldiers of the First Legion!"

"What did you say?!"

Vappos was shocked, and his first reaction was not to believe it.

"Isn't Shabolai in Crescent Town? How could it be in Silvermoon Castle? ”

The cavalry was also full of panic: "I don't know, but the soldiers of the First Legion have already come towards the garden!" ”

"How is that possible? How is this possible?! ”

Vouchos could not accept this situation in any case.

He had just met Banksy during the day, and had made the Baron's promise, and the Silver Moon Sword God had promised that he would have no objection to becoming an Earl.

When the cavalry saw that Fu Persia did not believe it, they were sweating profusely.

"Marshal, these are what I have seen with my own eyes. Don't waste any time, hurry up and find a way out of the city and find the Second Legion! The Second Legion will always support you! ”

It all came to this point, and this cavalryman was called Holai, and he was a confidant of Vobos in the First Legion. He could not believe his words.

He subconsciously shouted: "Go and ask Horus"

It was only in the middle of the sentence that he realized that Horus had been missing for a long time.

"Marshal, hurry up!" The cavalry urged.

Vupos came back to his senses: "Get out of the city!" Get out of town now! ”

At this time, naturally you can't go out of the city in a normal way, you have to take the secret road, and this is the back road that everyone who does great things will prepare.

By this time, Vobos could already faintly hear the commotion of the streets outside, which further confirmed the cavalry's statement.

He didn't have time to make more preparations, or even change his clothes, so he only took a sword to defend himself, so he mounted his horse, rode alone, followed closely behind the cavalry, and galloped towards the entrance of the secret passage.

At this time, he still couldn't believe it.

His unsuccessful brother, who wanders in brothels all day long, only knows how to play with women's younger brother, how can he move so fast?!

How did he meet Banksy?

And how did he convince Banks to support him?

Could he still promise a greater good than the baron?

He really couldn't figure it out.

When he ran to a high ground, he looked down, and sure enough, he saw a long line of torches in the street, rapidly approaching the Mochizuki Garden.

The cavalry did not lie, the 1st Regiment did betray him.

Furious anger flashed in his eyes, but he still held back his strength, and he turned to the cavalry Holay and asked, "Why did Banksy betray me?" ”

"It's Master Rosen. Master Lawson agreed with him to compete in martial arts, and if he won, he would support Shapole. As a result, Mage Lawson won. ”

"Rosen won? How could he win? ”

How could a 16-year-old mid-level mage defeat a powerful samurai, shouldn't he be killed by Banks just in the face?

"I don't know, I was standing on the periphery at the time, and I vaguely heard that it was because of what powerful potion Rosen was taking."

"Elixir. What potion is so strong, is it a high-level wisdom potion of the temple?! ”

Thinking of this, a possible guess came to mind.

"Does the temple support Shabolai as well? Why?! ”

"Why would the temple meddle in this?"

Vobos was a little distracted, but he was strong-willed, and he recovered in an instant, sneering and laughing.

"Okay, good~ Since you all turned your backs on me, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

"Let's go, get out of town!"

The First Legion betrayed, he still had the Second Legion, the Second Legion was his base camp, and every general was hand-picked by him, and they were all henchmen he could trust.

Whether he can be the Earl of Silvermoon City or not, he will turn the Yellow Water Heights upside down!

Running all the way without any hindrance, he successfully escaped from Silvermoon Castle through the secret passages.

When he came to the field outside the city, he turned his head to look back at the lights of Silvermoon Castle, and Fupos felt like he was in a dream.

During the day, he was still well, and it seemed that he was only one step away from being blessed by the temple and being crowned Count of Omyxia.

It was only the middle of the night when the situation changed drastically, and he had to escape from Silvermoon Castle in disarray.

"Shabole, Rosen, I really underestimate you."

He gritted his teeth and ran wildly on the dark dirt road, the cold wind of late autumn blowing on his face, so cold and bitter that he had to squint his eyes.

There was some wetness in his eyes, probably because he was blown out by the wind.

The garrison of the Second Army was about 30 kilometers away from Silvermoon Fort, and it could be reached in an hour if the horse galloped fast.

The two of them ran wildly, and when they reached the top of a hillside, they looked into the distance, and saw the light of a sparkling fire in the field in the distance.

It was the fire used for lighting and heating in the second barracks.

We're almost there, and there's less than 5 miles left.

The two galloped down the hill, merging into the main road from the back road, and galloped towards the camp.

'Huh~~'

The cavalryman who was leading the way, Hollai, suddenly stopped, forcing Vopos to tighten the reins and restrain his horse's head.

Vobos asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Marshal, there are people on the road, there are many people."

Cavalry Holey's voice trembled slightly.

"What?"

With another violent shock in his heart, he took control of his horse and stepped forward, and by the light of the torches in the hands of the cavalry, he saw a large number of figures on the road ahead.

'Qiang~'

Fu Bo drew his sword and unsheathed: "I am a marshal~ who dares to stop me!" ”

'Buzz'

It was the sound of a spell casting, and a bright ball of light appeared above the head of one of the figures, rising to a height of five meters before hovering still.

The ball of light shone brightly on the field.

"Ah, it's Banksy Knight~~"

The cavalryman Holai was so startled that he suddenly grabbed the reins and took several steps back in succession.

There were more than fifty figures in this group.

The first one is the Silver Moon Sword God Banks, the one in the back is the sturdy and sturdy Xia Bolai, and the one who released the spell is a teenager, and behind the boy, there are 50 Silver Moon Ranger with an average of 50 at the middle level!

As soon as he saw this formation, Fu Bobo's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

The other party has completely calculated his actions.

'Qiang~'

He retracted his sword and sheathed it, his gaze on the three people in front of him, one by one, and finally landed on Lawson.

The young man was a lot taller than the last time he had seen him, and his face was a little older, but his demeanor was the same as the last time he was in the barracks.

His eyes were faint, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

He stared at Lawson, gritting his teeth.

"I regret it very much now. I knew that this was the case, and when I was in the barracks, I should have found an excuse to kill you. ”

Rosen smiled faintly: "Thank you very much for your magnanimity at the beginning. ”

Vappos looked at Banks again: "Why?!" ”

Banksy spread his hands.

"My allegiance is to the Count, who has issued a secret decree to pass the throne to Chapole. Although I personally think it is ridiculous, since it is the Count's order, I can only obey it. ”

"My aunt sent a secret order? Fake, must be fake! ”

Chabolay reached out and took the secret order from his bosom and threw it directly to Vobos.

"Whether it's true or not, you can see it yourself."

Vobos stretched out his hand to take the secret order, and at a glance he knew that it was true, the material of the paper, the font, the spell emblem, all true.

His heart was suddenly struck violently.

"Why?"

"Why is my aunt so partial?!"

"She has been partial since she was a child, extremely patient with you, but cold to me!"

"Be tolerant of you, no matter what mistakes you make. But he was extremely harsh on me, and scolded me for making some mistakes! ”

"Now that I'm older, I'm still so eccentric."

"Obviously the ice dwarf I repelled, obviously I am the first heir in line, why did I choose you to be the earl?!"

"Why~~~~"

Vobos roared loudly, tears about to come out.

That's the family affair of the Omixia family, Banksy shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside, entering passerby mode.

Shabolai took a step forward: "I confess that my aunt is indeed very kind to me in terms of personal feelings, just like my mother. ”

But when it came to family affairs, my aunt was never confused. She has always groomed you as a previous earl, and you have fought off the ice dwarves with great success, which is irrefutable. ”

"So, my aunt will hand over Crescent Town to you to rebuild, and as long as you get this done well, you will be the undoubted heir to the earl."

"When you ran Crescent Town, I was just an idle guerrilla general, and Rosen has been living in seclusion in Silvermoon Castle, concentrating on spells."

"I never wanted to compete with you for the rank of earl."

Speaking of which, Banksy interjected with a smile.

I agree with that. As soon as Shapole received his salary, he went to the House of Roses to be dashing. ”

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shabolai's face, but he was much better now than before, and he quickly calmed down.

"Big brother, but you didn't get things done!"

"Crescent Town has been a mess by you, the townspeople are rebellious, and the gangsters are everywhere, this is not what a big lord should do!"

"And you can't even get a small Crescent Town, how can you rule the entire Highland?!"

"Are you going to turn the Heights into chaos as well?!"

Vobos was choked and speechless.

Shabolai took advantage of the victory and pursued.

"Rosen and I took over the mess you left behind. Spend a lot of gold to buy supplies to go to the ruins of Crescent Town, but at night, you have your cronies collude with the troll Diego and the Brotherhood to sneak up on you! ”

Vouchos immediately denied: "No, I didn't! ”

"Master Horus did this, and if you're thick-skinned enough to deny that he's your confidant, then I have nothing to say."

Fupos was silent for a moment.

"Big brother, there are not only me in the camp, but more than 20,000 innocent townspeople. Have you ever wondered how many casualties would be caused if those rebels and Diego burst into the crowd?! ”

"Do you completely ignore the lives of civilians for the sake of the rank of earl?!"

Banks, too, was surprised when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Vobos, but saw his eyes flickering, and immediately knew that what Shabolay said was indeed true.

He couldn't help but say, "Oh~ Fu Bobo, I really didn't expect you to be such a person, be careful of provoking the Pure World Holy Hall." ”

If at the beginning, he chose to support Chapole because of the Earl's secret order and Rosen's bet, but now, he is a little happy.

The cavalry Ho Lai was also shocked: "Marshal, you didn't do it, right?" ”

The silence of Vappos is indirectly equivalent to admitting.

Shabolai had the upper hand, and he said loudly: "Now the achievements of Crescent Town are obvious to all. ”

"There are more than 30,000 people in Crescent Town, 1,300 Rabangs of fertile land have been cultivated, most of the town has been built, and the fortress has begun to work, and not a single person has gone hungry."

"Everybody lives in peace!"

"Everybody says I'm a swinger, and everybody says Rosen brought about these achievements."

"Yes, that's right, I'll admit it all!"

"I really don't have any great skills, and I have many, many problems, and I am self-aware."

"So, I'm willing to delegate power, and I'm willing to give full trust and support to those who really have the ability to do what they do best."

"Instead of choosing a ridiculous and greedy brother-in-law like you, big brother, to ruin the good situation you have worked so hard to fight!"

The words were like thunder, and he shook his soul and his body staggered, and he almost fell off his horse.

'Papapa~'

Silver Moon Sword God Banks applauded and praised, "Count Shabolai, I am really impressed by your performance tonight. ”

"Now I know why Master Lawson is so adamant in supporting you, because I have been persuaded by you."

He turned to look at Vobos.

"The Marshal, the Earl, the Mage's Guild, the Temple, and the First Legion have all stood behind Shapole."

"If you don't want to become a rogue for the rest of your life and then be killed by me, admit defeat. I believe that with the kindness of the Count of Charpais, you will be allowed to live in abundance for the rest of your life. ”

Shabolai immediately made a promise.

"Big brother, you take the initiative to announce your resignation from the position of marshal and become an idle rich man in Silvermoon Castle, you don't have to worry about anything, and I will provide you with 10,000 kroner every year."

"If your children have outstanding talents, I will do my best to cultivate them and reuse them."

"After all, family glory is eternal, and personal glory is only a few decades. To create the glory of the family, it takes the efforts of every member of the family. ”

These words were said so beautifully that everyone present was shaken.

It was clear to everyone that Chapole was indeed more suitable to be the lord of the highlands than Vappos.

Vobos looked at his confidant Holai, and saw that the other party's face was no longer warlike, and he was also convinced.

He knew that he had failed completely.

He spat out the turbidity in his chest for a long time, and only felt that he was happy.

"So be it."
