Chapter 200 Anticipate the crisis and open the door again(1/2)
"Isn't Yeying back yet?"
In the spacious and luxurious Earl's Mansion, Earl Thoreau Manggud was lying in his bedroom. He had not gone out to bask in the sun for a long time. Now some bad rumors have spread outside, including the Countess and his second son Shi
Tiff also quietly came over many times in the name of visiting.
He was getting more and more anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. He knew in his heart that the disease would probably not get better.
But no matter how hard things don't get better, the earldom must continue to operate normally. The glory of the Mongold family cannot be tarnished, and he cannot die in dishonor.
"The contact has been severed. My subordinates have used secret methods to detect it. It is estimated that Ye Ying has..."
A mature woman dressed as a maid served Count Solo and drank a bowl of black and smelly potion. She reported the news in a low voice, "Edward, the West Asian knight entered the Forest of Green that day and never appeared again.
I wonder if Edward secretly sent him to the Steele family to ask for help, or if something happened?"
"If something happens to Ye Ying, it cannot be ruled out that the masters hidden in the Steele family are secretly taking action. Of course, it is also possible that the instructors from the Star Magic Martial Arts Academy are taking action... However, one thing that is strange is that Edward's magic instructor
After Galil was killed by the strange demon, there was no response in the academy, and it seemed that he was indifferent to Galil's death."
After Earl Solo drank the medicine, his face became extremely ugly, and black energy gushed out from his body, which took a while to calm down.
He took a deep breath and asked again: "Are you sure Thomas was killed by Edward himself?"
"yes."
The woman replied in a low voice, with surprise on her face, "There were many people watching that day. This matter cannot be hidden from anyone. Moreover, there were more than 12,000 strange demons coming in across the street, most of them were well-trained elites."
Although the warriors are very weak, the strange weapons in their hands can do great harm to ordinary soldiers..."
"What a good trick. I underestimated this son. It seems that the Steele family is playing a big game. Angel, Angel, is this what you want to see? Not only did he curse me before he died,
You also want your son to annex my Manggude family directly, what a cruel woman..."
Count Solo's eyes flashed coldly.
"I think my grandfather will soon break through to the Sword Master. Once his aura stabilizes, he will notify me to go see him... This time, if the Manggude family is not careful, it will be destroyed. It doesn't matter even if my curse cannot be cured.
However, Steve's plan to succeed the earl and rule the Green Field Basin cannot go wrong.
Edward is a huge hidden danger, and we must not delay it any longer. When he is full-fledged, it will be difficult to deal with him. I have to ask my grandfather to personally deal with this matter."
As Count Solo talked, another wave of fatigue hit his heart, and he gradually fell asleep.
The woman helped him tuck the quilt, took a few steps back, and disappeared into the air without knowing where he went.
…
"Master, if you cooperate with strange demons and rely on their power to act, I am afraid it will cause great disasters. Neither the Holy See of Dawn nor the Count will agree. When the time comes, it will be difficult to find an excuse."
Colin, the old butler, hesitated again and again before approaching Zhang Kun.
Some words have to be remonstrated.
If something really goes wrong, not just one or two people will die, but everyone related to Baron Edward will probably die.
Although the old butler Colin, as well as the silver knights Arins, Arman and others have been loyally following the Steele family for many years, they do not want to see their own young lady's bloodline go directly to the dead end.
What's more, I don't want my wife, children, and children to end up with me.
"Old housekeeper, your worries are a bit unnecessary."
Zhang Kun chuckled and said: "After killing Thomas and the three hundred Judgment Knights, we can no longer coexist with the Church of the Dawn, and there will be a war sooner or later.
Don’t worry, the Dawn Church is not the only one in the world. I believe other churches will understand our last resort. The Knights of the Dawn Temple regard us minor nobles as human beings and only want to dispatch troops to build achievements. It really makes them so
If we continue to operate as usual, my barondom will soon be ruined. By then, it will be a luxury for me, the baron, to become a vagabond, and I will probably be shot to death by a cold arrow that appears from nowhere."
This is entirely possible.
"Also, speaking of the count, I shouldn't have had any expectations for them many years ago. Just pretend that without this eldest son, we have to rely on ourselves for everything. With the strength of the strange demons,
, the strength in his own hands will become more powerful, and he will not be easily defeated. If everything goes well, after a while, when the troops are formed, who is the master of the Earl of Green Field?
Definitely."
This was said to Colin, the butler.
In fact, Zhang Kun knew that his attitude would soon be known to Yalins, Coleman, Hades, William and others.
These people were either close associates of the former Edward, or some newly conquered civilian mercenaries.
In general, give them a reason and a reason to be loyal.
Otherwise, when the so-called "foreign demons" occupy the fertile fields and woodlands, and they are on the same territory, and see each other day and night, it is very likely that the "own people" will start to fight before they can fight with the enemy.
Of course, the hostility between the Holy See and the earl mentioned by Zhang Kun is actually not nonsense.
Everything he said was true.
The younger brother Steve in this body has already shown his true malice.
When Baron Edward, who had fallen under the Seven Emotions spell, confided in his heart, he said that he had been assassinated three times, and that he had been lucky enough to escape twice.
After he pretended to be someone else, he also faced an extremely powerful assassination by a shadow assassin. This time, Zhang Kun estimated that it was not Steve's work, but the count's subordinates.
Logically speaking, such a troublesome identity is something that people hate even dogs.
Without enough strength to support him, he could die at any time even if he was sitting on the crater of the volcano, so it was not worth replacing.
But who said Baron Edward's domain was too good?
It's not that the territory produces abundant products, nor does it have particularly good feng shui, but that this space passage is so immortal that it just happens to appear in the thorn territory. There is no other identity that is easier to operate than Baron Edward's identity.
With this identity, he can lead an army to govern, rebel, annex surrounding forces, join forces, and do some outrageous things, all of which can be explained.
He won't do something that shocks the world and quickly arouses his own irresistible power.
Just like now, even if others have suspicions, they are not sure whether there is something wrong.
They would only think that Baron Edward was audacious, acted out of whims, colluded with strange demons, and plotted to split the empire. He also disrespected the Church of the Dawn and committed a heinous crime.
Although it is said to be a heinous crime, in the final analysis, it is still a fight for power and gain by working inside and outside, and it does not deviate from the aristocratic code of conduct.
Therefore, what we face next should be attacks within the rules.
It will not suddenly trigger a counterattack from the whole world.
This is the benefit of having an agent standing in front and charging.
It was considered a side shot.
"As long as the master has an idea, I will arrange the work of those people."
Colin received a satisfactory answer and a smile appeared on his face.
These days, he vaguely felt that the little master he had always been loyal to seemed to have changed.
It's not just a change in strength, but also a change in personal temperament.
He always felt that he didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of the Baron. It was like meeting the Count. No, even that time when he followed the Count to meet the Grand Duke of Kitahara, he was not so nervous and uneasy.
He could only tell himself that his little master had grown up and become stronger, and he was confused because of concern, so he worried about gains and losses, respected and feared, worried and afraid.
In fact, he was not without doubts in his heart.
However, after secretly taking a look at the small black mole behind the other person's ear, and the line of white scars above the eyes, hidden under the dark and slanted thick eyebrows, which was not much bigger than a hair. He understood that this person was actually
He is still the original Baron Edward, the little master he has seen since childhood.
The white scar like a thin line on the eyebrow was caused by improper bow and arrow practice when the little master was eight years old, and the arrow feathers were too close to the eye.
Because I was afraid of being discovered and punished by my family, I didn't dare to seek medical treatment for the scratch. After two days, it automatically healed, leaving a white scar.
Others don't know this, but Colin knows it.
Because, at that time, he also provided cover for the young master.
As for whether there was something wrong with his soul, Colin never thought about it.
The divine radiance shines.
In the main world, it is impossible for any devil to appear under the bright sun in broad daylight. He does not have the courage.
What's more, if he is really possessed by the devil, he will have to hide at least most of the time. The conflict between negative energy and the physical body cannot be resolved so easily.
The little master has appeared in sight day and night in the past few days. Although his behavior is a little strange, there is not even a trace of negative energy leaking from his body.
Even when he was fighting against Thomas, the Judgment Knight of the Church of the Morning, facing the divine will, the Holy Judgment of Light and other tricks, nothing happened. When he took action, he was majestic and upright, and his soul and body were one. Everyone can see this.
Since it is not the invasion of devil souls, then it is the original little master...
No matter how your character changes or how your strength improves, it is ultimately your target of allegiance, and you don’t need to care about anything else.
With the endorsement of old housekeeper Colin, Yalins, Arman, William and others all became obedient and began to gradually accept the appearance of "strange demons".
Because, according to what the Lord Baron said.
The so-called "different demons" are not actually creatures from the demon world and the abyss, but humans from another plane, different civilizations, the same flesh and blood...
After contacting him, it turned out that what the Baron said was true.
Except for some of the troops and civilians who came this time, who had black hair and black eyes and looked very strange, the rest were basically the same as the people of the Hill Empire.
At the beginning, there were still some language problems. Both sides spoke at the same time and couldn't understand...
To be continued...
