Tick!

A drop of cold sweat on his forehead also dripped to the ground along with the blood beads on his neck.

Even though the winter wind was biting, Vincent, the [royal hound], was soaked with cold sweat from his back in an instant.

Since he wanted to re-enter the ranks of the great nobles by marrying the [Flower of the Northland], who was famous as a nobleman in the Northland, he was of course prepared.

He had already read all the information about Catherine, and had carefully studied the countess's past.

But in addition to the loss of her relatives at an early age, she grew up in the family of Prince Sorrenburg, and inherited a large inheritance from the Greenville family.

There isn't any explanation of her transcendent rank.

Apparently the Prince of Sorenberg and Lancaster protected her well.

It was only then that Vincent's eyes, which had been blinded by wealth and power, finally saw the light again.

It was the cold light of the Mithril blade.

"Let it go!"

Vincent's body trembled, and he subconsciously obeyed the order to let go of the box in the maid's hand.

The coldness in Catherine Lake's green eyes flickered for a while, and she finally withdrew the blade in her hand.

During this time, she was imprisoned not only by the force of the guards, but also by the royal power taken away by the House of York.

The transcendent sequence of [Mithril Knight] is not as capable of hiding, running, and hiding as Byron.

Even if you kill the guards, not only will you not be able to take away a large amount of property tied to your strength, but you will not be able to run far before you will be caught up by minions everywhere.

If you are facing the pursuit of an entire kingdom, it is impossible to be better off than the [Guardian Knight] Bruch, who is seriously wounded and dying.

I sighed faintly in my heart;

'Let's wait until we get to the colony. ’

Vincent, who was loosened, staggered back against his neck.

Bang la blah

A group of red-clad army soldiers with guns on the warship next to them also rushed over.

But whether it was Catherine's earldom or her somewhat dazzling beauty, these soldiers subconsciously lowered their guns.

Besides, Vincent didn't have any military position in the first place.

After being assigned to Catherine by Edward IV as a steward and guardian knight, she was nominally supposed to be a retainer of the Greenville family.

Naturally, the same is true of their attachés.

It's just that the [Royal Hound], who was born in the nobility of the court, obviously doesn't think so.

"I am the King's envoy, and it is my duty to restrain your words and deeds.

Catherine, how dare you disobey His Majesty Edward's orders?! ”

For this kind of guy with a strong desire to control, don't say it's rebellious, even if it's just not doing what he asks.

And he knew best Edward IV's attitude, saying that it was a transfer to the Bantaan Islands, which was actually exile in disguise.

The purpose was only to appease the mood of the aristocracy in the York Party.

When the time comes, who cares if an orphan girl's life is good or bad? This is the confidence that he dares to take advantage of.

Originally, I thought that when I was in the Old World, I wouldn't expose my purpose so obviously, and put on a fig leaf for civilized people.

Now, he felt that the freedom he had given Catherine had gone too far!

With a cold face, he ordered the attaché:

"Come, bring up the [Breaking Stone] chain, and ask our countess to learn what the rules of York are."

The outnumbered soldiers around him gave Vincent courage.

Catherine, on the other hand, is alone.

With the exception of a few maids, the others were only ordinary sailors on two merchant ships.

Any armed private soldier of the Greenville family has fled in the course of a month, and those who have been arrested have been arrested, and their wings have been cut off.

Has anyone ever seen a lord who went to the territory without any team?

It's like a general going to the battlefield without a personal guard, it can't be said to be looking for death, but it's not much different.

Seeing that the situation on the scene was about to erupt, it gradually slipped to the point of being out of control.

A steely voice rang in their ears:

"Tsk, Mr. Vincent, huh?

I heard it all over the side.

No matter how noble your status may have been in the court, you have been appointed by our noble Majesty to this beautiful countess as a guardian knight.

That means you've become a retainer of the Greenville family.

Before you betrayed your lord, hadn't you heard that an irresistible and terrifying monster was haunting the North Seas to hunt down treacherous people like you?

As a member of the escort fleet of the Bantaan Islands, you can't sit idly by.

If you want to die, forget it, if you want to bury everyone together, we won't agree! ”

Stomp and tread

The crowd parted, and a tall figure wearing an old naval uniform and a triangular captain's hat walked in with his hands behind his back.

Behind him, a large group of attachés were also armed with long muskets, and although their clothing was not uniform, their steps were sonorous and powerful.

The murderous ferocity on his body was not weaker than those soldiers at all, and even better.

"Who?"

Vincent jerked his head up.

But I saw that a strong aura full of oppression in the other party's eyes overflowed, condensing into a golden coat of arms in the spiritual realm.

- A golden lion with a crown on his head holding a solid gold scale.

The Executioner's passive ability in the 1st Squire stage [Majesty of Law]/[Aura of Majesty].

Byron's ability to imitate through [Cognitive Correction] and the Storm Seal Ring is much more decent than the original ability of the Executioner.

Although Vincent is a second-order [Punishment Knight].

It's like being punched in the nose, and I can't help but feel slightly dizzy, and it's hard to argue.

The army soldiers around him who were about to obey the order were reminded by Byron, and immediately exploded with a "buzz".

"He's right, a perfidious person can really die!"

"I read the newspaper yesterday, and that 'natural disaster' is still roaming the sea, and it has eaten up a Navy cruiser."

They all walked away from Vincent, looking at him as if they were looking at a calamity.

Failure to keep the covenant will be punished!

After so many days, there are very few people in the North Sea coast who have not heard of that legend.

And from time to time, I heard that someone was killed at sea, and there were no bones left, which made that existence even more famous.

Sometimes it is an exception, a person falls asleep in a dream and never wakes up; Sometimes an entire ship disappears into the sea.

It is said that the deeper the degree of perfidy, the greater the probability of being attacked!

Although they are all rumors, most of them are convinced.

Their group of Army, who were to be stationed with Vincent in Greenville territory, was not like the Navy who had not been guilty of treachery in the first place.

If Vincent is implicated, won't he die unjustly?

It has to be said that today's "Kraken Touch" is like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads.

It has made outstanding contributions to the construction of spiritual civilization along the coast of the North Sea.

Congratulations.

The sea is not just about fighting and killing, and there are naturally rules for dealing with things within the system.

In the process of docking the [Golden Deer], Byron had already heard the conversation between Catherine and the hound clearly.

I also realized that the eldest sister was in a difficult situation.

Next to it is a group of vicious [Referee Knights].

He didn't use a knife or a gun, and he caused trouble in vain.

It was only through the banner of "Kraken's Touch" that not only relieved Catherine of the siege in a few words, but also pulled the soldiers brought by Vincent to his own camp by the First Army.

Tongues and swords, but murder without blood.

This is just the beginning, and after that, this guy is bound to be isolated by the others during the long voyage to the Bantaan Islands.

The probability of "accidental death" is bound to skyrocket.

"Only children have to be right and wrong on the spot.

Adults will only hide a knife in their laughter, and then find an opportunity to trap him to death in secret! ”

Like facing a bed bug that jumped to his feet, Byron didn't give Vincent another look.

Turning her head to look at Catherine, who had the highest status on the scene, she saluted meticulously according to the character of the most important rules of the [Executioner]:

"Miss Catherine, your beauty shines brighter than your wealth.

I believe that the riches of the Greenville family will one day rival that of the Ferdinand of the Holy Silver Empire.

Build your territory in Bantaan into another jewel on the sapphire sea. ”

For the Jin Yuan sequence, money is power, power, and everything.

The Holy Silver Empire is a loose political alliance of hundreds of small vassal states, also known as a bulk empire.

Ferdinand, the famous family of Jinquan, rules the art centers of the whole continent and has the most palace-sequence transcendent Emerald Emerald.

It has funded various literary and artistic undertakings that are now thriving, and has also cultivated a large number of great artists in the palace sequence.

Their family motto is one of pride: "Ferdinand gives to the world!" ”

You can imagine how rich they really are.

Boasting that people are as rich as Ferdinand is really a supreme compliment.

Coupled with the sentence "Beauty is more dazzling than wealth", this careful thought has been "revealed" in the eyes of other onlookers.

"Okay, it turns out that you are not righteous from heaven at all, but you also want to rob the countess with us?!"

A referee knight next to him who turned on his spiritual vision and watched it carefully also breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the duties of the Inquisition was to bring Catherine back to the royal capital.

Now York's navy is overstretched, and in order to save manpower, even the guest army has to be used.

Byron was so perceptive of all this, as if he were unaware of it, that he invited the countess while the iron was hot:

"Miss Catherine, perhaps it is really from the Lord's guidance, and it just so happens that I have also received a call from His Majesty to join the convoy and go to the Bantaan Islands.

Why don't we go to Kingston and join the fleet?

By the way, when we first met, I was Bill, a privateer captain under the command of the House of York. ”

Catherine stared into his eyes for a moment before she put away her [Mithril Hand] and gracefully lifted her skirt and returned the salute:

"Delightfully, Mr. Bill!

I am very happy to meet you today. ”

I don't know if it was my eyes in the sand, but when she got up, she raised her hand and gently wiped the reddish corners of her eyes.

Then the corners of her rosy lips bloomed with a dazzling smile.

In addition to making the onlookers collectively lose their minds, they were also secretly jealous of this guy's good luck, and they were annoyed that the one who had just rushed up to relieve the beauty was not himself?

But I didn't realize it at all.

For two people who are already familiar with each other and can discuss everything as long as they don't borrow money, what a complicated communication has been carried out in the eye contact just now.

I didn't even greet you after eating today.

The two of them pretended to be humble and walked side by side to their respective ships.

This attitude of ignoring will bring back the seven-trick anger of Vincent.

But he didn't have any other associations, just cursed in his heart:

"I knew I should have locked up Catherine sooner, the damn contender came out so soon!

How dare you use me as a stepping stone to win Catherine's favor?

You wait for me, get to the fleet, and see how I clean you up! ”

Byron naturally felt the look of hatred in his eyes.

But I just feel that it doesn't matter.

'Hate, hate, hate Bill, what does it have to do with me Byron Tudor?'

Moreover, a mere bed bug still wants to arch our cabbage? I'll drown you when no one is around! ’
