Chapter 182: Greed

The cavalry appeared almost instantaneously from the moment they appeared, and soon the sound of heavy horses' hooves resounded through the manor.

"Ah! Cavalry charge!" exclaimed one of the coachmen, "they are going to kill us!

Carey was also startled, and immediately shouted, "It's the Viscount's soldiers, they're rushing over!"

The elves' faces were also a little nervous, but they were still able to disperse silently and orderly to the sides under the command of Se, while the other people on the road were still standing, Leon, Kaka, Katarina, Erin, and even Jeff and Eric all looked relaxed, watching nearly a hundred cavalry quickly approach in a uniform pace.

The charge of hundreds of cavalry was very intimidating, especially when marching side by side on the main road of the manor. The captain who led this cavalry was a close associate of Viscount Andrew, who was a third-order knight himself, and his sophisticated magical equipment made him even more powerful.

Of course, this great knight and the equipment on his body are the handiwork of the Minister of the Interior, and if it were purely based on Viscount Andrei's own identity and reputation, it would be almost impossible for a similar strong person to serve him.

This viscount has all the faults of other gentlemen, such as arrogance, **, greed, selfishness, etc., and his greatest act so far is to rush to Campbell as soon as the Redfield family died, and also occupy the lord's manor in a big way.

Of course, many have speculated that if there is a strong opposition in the royal capital, the Minister of the Interior will use his grandson's stubbornness as an excuse to smooth out the impact of the matter.

But no matter what the others thought, Viscount André was really happy these days, not only was there no one to restrain him, but he also experienced the treatment of a lord, so he completely forgot the instructions of an elder in a gradually happy mood, and began to send his men to various parts of the territory to act as tax collectors to collect taxes that he thought were very suitable.

And he is also going to ask for some more people from the family in a few days to build the castle on the territory, and having a castle of his own is in line with the identity of the lord, isn't it?

Just as he was planning a bright future for himself, a tax collector sent to Locke Town came running back in a very bad way, and at first Viscount André thought that he had encountered the mob that had been so frequent recently, but his face began to change after listening to the tax officer's almost upside-down story in his excitement.

"Not only did Leon not die, but he was about to arrive at the manor with a group of people?"

Andrei's face was blue and red for a while, as a descendant of a Minister of the Interior, and soaked in the aristocratic circle of the royal capital every day, even if he was ignorant, he knew the legitimacy of Li Ang as a lord, but if he went back like this, he couldn't accept it, especially when he thought of how those noble friends in the royal capital would think of this matter, his heart was even more anxious.

"No, you can't go back like this, at least you have to get a benefit from this kid Li Ang, and it must be a big benefit!"

"Come on, go Zhuo Ning and call me!" Andre knew something about Li Ang, but he had never heard of it and had never met, he felt that since Zhuo Ning was originally the housekeeper here, he must have some understanding of Li Ang's character, and this old boy has been honest since he was attached to him, and it is estimated that he can ask some of Li Ang's weaknesses from his mouth.

However, when Zhuo Ning ran over and heard the news, his face was much more ugly than that of the Viscount just now.

"You say Leon is still alive and close to the manor?"

Andrei felt that this guy was questioning himself, and said angrily: "Nonsense!

"Even if I leave Campbell, I'll have to let him give me a favor! So tell me if there is any weakness in this kid Leon!"

"Weakness ......" Zhuo Ning repeated the last two words while recalling the events of more than two months ago, he was very sure that Li Ang was dead, such a serious injury and a pack of night wolves, how could a kid who didn't learn all day long escape?

However, at that time, he and his two subordinates were chased by a corrupt demon wolf with a pack of wolves, although this monster with almost third-order strength was seriously injured, but among the two people under him, Jairo was better than the second-order, but Stim was seriously injured and has not fully recovered until now.

At that time, he was worried that there was not enough time to rush back to report to the adults, and he was worried that there would be other monsters, so he didn't dare to go back to check, could it be that it was such a coincidence that Li Ang actually escaped?

"This matter must not be known to the adults!" Zhuo Ning made up his mind, because he knew that if the adults found that they were not doing well, then a very severe punishment would await him.

"If it's really you......," he thought with a frown, "then I was really lucky last time, but since you didn't know whether to come to the door, even if you die this time, I will make up for a few more swords!"

"Lord Viscount, although this kid has many weaknesses, I have another plan!"

Zhuo Ning's gesture was allowed by Andrei, so he leaned forward and muttered for a while, Andrei's face suddenly turned blue.

"Ah, this person is crazy, and he wants me to kill Li Ang?" the viscount looked at Zhuo Ning suspiciously, and said in his heart, Aren't you his original butler, how could you give me such an idea?

"My lord, since I belong to you, of course I have to think about you in everything I do!" Zhuo Ning said with a stern face at this moment, and said with righteous words: "And think about it, he has been confirmed as dead by the garrison and the people from the royal capital, how could he suddenly appear again? Is this Li Ang the real Li Ang or is someone else who looks very similar pretending to be him?"

"If that's the case, you must kill you! And announce the fate of this to the whole realm! It is ridiculous to want to take the throne that belongs to you in such a clumsy way!"

Andre was frowning, but with Zhuo Ning's words, his brow began to gradually relax, and his eyes shone brightly.

"That's right...... This excuse is perfectly feasible...... "Andrei tapped the table with one hand, and gradually began to be attracted by the other party's words, especially the last sentence "Take away the position of lord that belongs to you", which made his heart pound.

"It is said that Leon brought less than thirty people, while I had nearly two hundred people with me, and there was also a great knight, and even more than a dozen second-order knights, if we killed them all...... Anyway, Leon has already been confirmed dead, so I'll say it's someone impersonating!. ”

However, Andrei finally hesitated a little and whispered, "In case someone recognizes ......"

"Don't worry, hand over his body to me, no one will be able to recognize him!"

This sentence was like a demagogic spell, completely dispelling the last bit of hesitation of the viscount, and the word "lord" gradually occupied the whole mind.

Instead of doubting why Zhuo Ning, who was the former butler, was so ruthless, André felt that he was loyal and worthy of great use.

"Go and call Yarman. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Ning knew that his words had completely moved the viscount, and immediately called the third-order great knight over.

Of course, Yarman would have objected to this, but under the scolding of Viscount Andre, who had been blinded by **, and Zhuo Ning deliberately guided him on the side, he gradually accepted this order.

So a hundred horsemen and five knights gathered under his command, hid behind a row of large houses, and when Leon and his party entered the manor and stopped the car as if to enjoy the scenery on the roadside, Yarman launched a surprise attack.

As the captain, Yarman rushed to be the first, and he kept staring at the young man who was looking at him with a blank face, and after Zhuo Ning's identification, he confirmed that this person was his primary target.

"If he was really Leon, would he think he was scaring them with someone?"

Yarman thought to himself: "What the Viscount said is right, getting rid of him is equivalent to getting rid of the last member of this family, and officially bringing the territory into the control, if the Viscount has the opportunity to succeed the lord, he will definitely rise." ”

"It's just that you're defenseless," Yarman's eyes began to narrow, "Kill him!

A distance of a few hundred meters was almost instantaneous at the speed of a cavalry raid.

"It's close...... Yarman began to gather momentum, and then he will unleash a fierce attack that will directly take the young man's life, even if the other party finds out that the shape is wrong now.

"But...... Why didn't he react when he got so close?" Yarman looked at the other man's quiet expression and began to wonder, "And what is that creature that looks like a dwarf doing? What is the bottle in his hand?"

As soon as he thought of this, he saw Leon raise a hand, and then heard the two words he uttered.

"Attack!"

The gnome immediately tossed four bottles, which flew behind the Grand Knight as if they had been attracted in some way.

Yarman was about to turn his face sideways and look behind him, but he heard a violent explosion ringing in his ears, and he could already feel the impact and scorching heat coming from behind.

"What the hell!"

Of course, this is the alchemist's potion, and it has been specially improved to reduce the size by half, but the power has increased, and it can be said that it has surpassed the mage's fireball technique.

When Yarman saw that there were two more glass bottles in the dwarf's hand again, he finally remembered a special profession - "alchemy master".

An alchemy master whose combat power can be compared to that of a fourth-order professional!
