After all, he came from a big aristocratic family, and the first heir to the earl's family who was trained as a successor was still completely sufficient. This, coupled with the calm analysis and comfort of Kylelius on the side, also played a role.

"Again, no matter how much we talk here, it is useless, it still depends on the decision of His Excellency the Earl. But if it's a retreat, isn't the loss a bit big. Count Roundreau regained his composure, but still in a somewhat pessimistic manner, and raised a threat that was revealed in the words of Kellius.

You must know that there were about a hundred guests who came to the banquet this time, and this is the number after counting their female companions and relatives, plus the retinue or waiter who had no one at least two, and there were about three hundred people. Even if you remove those who can barely take up arms and fight, there are at least a hundred non-combatants, plus the non-combatants on the Earl's Court, there are about one hundred and fifty people.

These non-combatants have always been the greatest burden in the process of retreat, and their weak constitution makes them doomed to not keep up with the march speed of the large army, and the large army needs to slow down and accommodate them.

And this slowness of the retreat caused by non-combatants can be exploited by the pursuing enemy. Although the distance of the manor from Banki was not long, and there were now many carriages and other means of transportation at the gate, the speed of the retreat was greatly accelerated. But this short distance was enough for the wolf-like attackers to catch up and attack the Count's troops on the march.

You must know that being discovered by the enemy during the march and volleying is an extremely demoralizing situation, and with the improvised rabble of the Earl's Court, there is probably only one major rout in this situation.

And Baron Rundelo, who has a certain military quality, is now also worried about this. As for stubborn defense, in his opinion, it is a stinky move with no chance of winning, and it is completely out of consideration, after all, it is a matter of life.

At least if he retreats, the baron is confident that he will be able to avoid the enemy's pursuit under the protection of the guards, but the fate of the others is not the baron's concern now.

"Your Excellency Baron, don't worry, I believe that a huge earl's manor will not even have a secret passage for emergency escape. However, I don't think we'd waste our time here, and let's see what the Earl decides. Kellius naturally knew what McEl was thinking at this time, but he was not prepared to say anything, and in his opinion, the Baron's worries were completely unnecessary.

Sure enough, the baron and the few noble ladies and ladies who were still surrounding him all showed a look of sudden realization on their faces at this time, even the Roy butler, who had been standing behind the baron and behaved unusually calmly, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Secret passages and cellars are the 'buildings' that every nobleman must build when he builds any manor. The secret passage is used in case of an accident, and as it is now, it is a necessary building that allows family members to escape safely, and it is one of the means to save their lives.

The cellar is even more important, it is a basement used to store important items, generally used to store all kinds of non-seasonal vegetables and fruits and red wine, the storage of these things requires a specific constant temperature state, otherwise it is easy to deteriorate.

And more importantly, every nobleman always has some unsavory valuables to hide, and this is when it comes to the use of highly concealed cellars. Every nobleman's house had several secret cellars that were secret to the point that only the patriarch of the family knew about, and they were used for this purpose. Of course, it is sometimes used to hide some precious metal currency to escape taxes, which is also a common means.

"Then let's go to His Excellency the Earl. Baron Rondelo relented and proposed.

At this time, there was no one in the field where Kylelius was, and everyone received news one after another, and most of them went to the count to seek security, and only Keleus, Baron Rundero, Roy's butler and a few women gathered around Kyleus.

"Yes, but where is the Earl now? in the hall, or in the square, or somewhere else. Kyrlius agreed with McEl, but then a problem came to mind, and it was a very serious problem at this time of the essence.

They did not know where His Excellency the Count was on this matter.

At this time, His Excellency the Earl had only about two possible places to go, one was the place where the banquet was held, the banquet hall. The other is the only large square in the estate.

The reason for being in the hall was mainly because the Count must have been informed of the matter a long time ago, and his first thing to do must have been to appease the guests at the banquet, and then organize them to recruit them and the servants in his estate.

The Earl, who had left since the opening speech, and had not been seen in the middle of the process, obviously did not know that a large part of the guests had arrived at the dueling venue, and he thought that everyone was still in the hall.

There are two reasons for appearing in the square. The first is that the arming and mobilization of guests and servants has been completed, and that the only square that can accommodate a large number of people is being organized, distributed, and mobilized by the way.

The second is that the earl directly ignores those guests, and directly mobilizes his own servants and armed liliang first, but this possibility is actually not very likely, after all, even the earl has to have a good relationship with the local nobles, if you don't tell them at this time, no matter what the result is, the earl is basically not easy to mix with the noble circle in Banky.

"Roy, I'll leave this matter to you, go quickly. McEl, too, realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and hurriedly and anxiously shouted instructions to the butler.

"Your Excellency, let's move towards the hall first, the Count should still have the greatest chance of being there, and even if it isn't, it's still time to get to the square. Kylelius looked at the deacon who had gone away and suggested to the baron.

By the way, the location of the square was on the left side of the banquet hall, and the venue where Kyrlius and the others were located at this time was at the back of the hall.

"That's all there is to it. The baron reluctantly agreed. Naturally, the other women were more interested in Kellius, and he was now their backbone.

Several people walked briskly towards the banquet hall.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The banquet hall at this time

The Earl naturally knew about it a long time ago, and it was a little earlier than the two barons, which was of course, after all, this was the Earl's manor, his territory. Moreover, the news of the two barons was actually revealed by the earl to the butler deacon of the two barons cryptically after the earl knew about it.

After all, the guests present today are except for a few big people who showed up in the conference room just now. Only these two people can barely be regarded as powerful in the shili of Banji, after all, their main shili is in Fort Cyprus, although it is not far, but it takes two or three days to go back and forth, which actually does not help much in this situation.

But the Earl's notification to them was a temptation to see how they would react when they learned of it. Judging from the situation reported by the eyeliner, the reaction of the two is really normal. However, it is not clear that they played a role in this incident, after all, both of them are tried and tested politicians, natural actors, and it is really difficult to judge.

Of course, there is another purpose, which is to let them know and think about countermeasures at the same time and provide some help, but in a hurry, Earl Stelle actually doesn't expect them to be able to provide any effective help, but at this time, one more person will have one more liliang.

The Count didn't even inform Kyrlius, which shows that although Kyrlius is the best in personal strength, he is still not qualified to let him know the news for the first time.

Caerlius and Baron Rondello arrived at the original banquet hall with a few women, and hurried into the hall.

On the way, Roy's butler, who was waiting for news of the hall, was in the banquet hall, and almost all of the guests for tonight had already gathered.

At this time, the area around the hall has changed from those waiters in charge of reception, to fully armed soldiers, at first glance it is a well-crafted metal axe gun with a set of gray infantry armor of the kingdom standard, and at first glance it is the elite troops of the earl.

From the masked helmet, which was almost completely closed and only showed a pair of eyes, a pair of resolute eyes were revealed, but with the Shili of Kylelius who was different from ordinary people, it was natural to notice that most of them inevitably revealed a trace of nervousness and fear in their eyes.

In fact, these private soldiers of the Earl's Court have never experienced the fire of war or seen blood, at least most of them have not experienced it. The few who had experience in the war, mostly those who looked like junior officers, at least not by their extensions and limbs, calmly and occasionally reassuring their recruits.

It seems that even the private guards of the Earl's Court have not experienced the battlefield, at least in the last few years have been too comfortable. As he walked, Kylelius observed the main forces of the evening, and at the same time made a mental conclusion.

The private army of the nobles, which is a very common phenomenon among the official nobles of various countries on the road, almost all the nobles of all sizes have more or less private armies

The official nobility here is the nobility directly canonized by the royal family, and the lowest level is the lord level, and generally there are lords who have made great contributions to the country or the royal family or have great fame.

The title of lord is different from that of a knight, the former is a title of nobility that is only qualified to be conferred by the middle class and above among the city residents, of course, this middle class is actually not difficult to be, generally has a decent house and a decent job. The knights and marquis are generally some township landlords and middle and low-level officers in the army, and they are canonized by the great nobles.

Therefore, even if the general lord is eligible for a certain private army establishment, in fact, no guy has nothing to do to hire a class of private army, after all, the lord and nobles are all citizens of the city, and the city's army is responsible for protection.

As for the regular army to which the city belongs, it is completely useless to have a dozen militiamen, and another point is that if you hire private troops, you must also beware of the suspicion and suppression of the big nobles in the city and the city government, which completely outweighs the losses.

At the same time, even nobles like the Baron and Viscount generally do not have a private army, and at most recruit a dozen guards, since the number of people is too large to raise, and secondly, it is easy to be suspicious, for the sake of these small troops of dozens or hundreds of people, the gains outweigh the losses.

At this time, in the hall, there were already some quick ones, and they were gathered in twos and threes, talking in a low voice, their faces were full of anxiety and panic, and it seemed that they all knew something more or less.

As soon as Kellius and his party entered, they saw that most of the people were paying attention, to be precise, to be devoted, to Baron Rundelo, who was beside Kellius, after all, this was his most honorable official position.

Londelo, apparently ignoring the gazes of these people, smiled reluctantly, and then lowered his head in contemplation. Those who pinned their hopes on the baron also withdrew their gaze with interest, but the voice of the discussion was lowered a little.

"The Earl is out!" After another minute or so, a loud shout suddenly sounded on the side of the hall, revealing a surprise and relief that could not be concealed.

Hearing this shout, everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing for a moment, stopped discussing and discussing, and stopped pondering, even Kyleus, a guy with big nerves and not very worried about this matter itself, stopped the red wine he was tasting in his hand and looked up at the balcony on the second floor.

At this time, the earl led a group of people behind him, and he was already standing on the edge of the balcony, followed by a few people who were in the conference room just now.

Mayor Rick Luxembourg, Town Council President John Fisher, Chief Magician Advisor of the Earl's House, Gala Tarsere, Head of the Russell Brotherhood Branch, Harrison Cussi, Captain of the First Brigade of the Third Wing of the Knights of Fionardo, and the surviving magician girl in a black filial piety suit.

Together with the crowd on the first floor, Baron Cullol Ruseruvre and Baron McEl-Rondero, in addition to the high-ranking officers of the Cyprus Fortress Frontier Regiment, this small banquet hall brings together almost all the important political figures, powerful people and professional organizations in the entire Cyprus region.

If this place were to be breached by the enemy today, it would cause a major earthquake and even radiate the effects to the province of 'Bandeva' and even the center of the kingdom, 'Jeste Fort'. ’

Kylelius thought to himself maliciously, it was none of his business anyway.
