Chapter 500 The End of the Traitor

Time passed, and it had been six days since Duke Sally was rejected by Pakaro City.

During these six days, one message after another caused the entire kingdom to boil like a pan of oil—topics such as "orc invasion" and "duke treason" stunned the public and stunned the nobles. In short, everyone seems to have not recovered from the shock To recover, you can only release your inner anxiety through constant quarrels and discussions.

The first thing that civilians think of is their own safety, and there are even villages on the border that are ready to go into exile. The other nobles, big and small, had different ideas. Some raised their troops to prepare for war, but those who were far away from the border were more restrained and waited and watched the situation secretly.

Viscount Senna is not interested in this at all. The only thing he cares about is the reply from his father and the tone of His Majesty Charles II.

"Master Viscount, Knight Sero has arrived from Fortress Donak with 200 cavalry, and they will arrive at the city before dark."

"knew."

Listening to the soldier's report, Senna's expression was much more relaxed than a few days ago, and the Viscount Anru beside him was also relieved after hearing this, and sighed: "Counting them, all the four surrounding fortresses have sent troops, and Up to now, there is no... uh-their news, from the probability point of view, it should be no problem."

They didn't want to know where the orc troops went, but Sally and her group had to die. Senna specifically emphasized the word "traitor" in the subsequent supplementary order, indicating that all support troops must "kill the traitor without any compromise". After all, this is already a clear political struggle, either you die or I die, no No room for compromise.

Now it seems that that army should be "annihilated".

While thinking about it, another guard came to report: "Master Viscount, Bishop Rosicruz Parker led a team of 200 people to request to enter the city, saying that he came to investigate the disappearance of the task force."

"Oh? They're not slow."

Senna had expected this. After all, there was still a "Rosaceous Cross" team in the forest at that time, and the church would come to investigate sooner or later. But now that the facts are settled, you can check whatever you like. Anyway, the church can't find trouble with a big noble of its own, so there's nothing to worry about.

So he waved his hand: "Treat him well, cooperate with the investigation, and tell him all the 'facts' that need to be told."

The two nobles were very relaxed at this time, because this raid directly led to the death of a large group of nobles in Efta, and the two of them were the biggest beneficiaries-the Minos family wiped their asses with Charles II,

Senna and Viscount Anru only need to happily divide up these "inheritances".

Land, taxation, and various resources, these things make people excited when they think about them, but the two of them concealed them very well at this time, and they both tacitly did not mention them. It wasn't until noon, when the Milno family's team was about to arrive at the city, that Senna and Viscount Anru started the topic, and quickly distributed all the profits.

I will not repeat the process, the result is naturally "to everyone's satisfaction", and what makes Senna and Anru more excited...His Majesty Charles II even issued a notice today-"The Luciferon family colluded with the enemy and treason, innocent Forgive me, I am the enemy of the whole country!"

"Ha! Perfect!"

After Senna heard the news, he even jumped up in a gaffe, and Viscount Anru clenched his fists excitedly: Even if there were surviving nobles who came out to cry for grievances, they could only be regarded as nonsense in front of the announcement of His Majesty the King: It is not firm, but with the prestige of the royal family, this announcement can be called "the conclusion of the coffin".

The reason is that Charles II has long regarded "Efta" as a thorn in his side, and dealing with a powerful nobleman like Sally has been the goal from the very beginning-this time there is such a suitable reason and handle, His Majesty the King, who originally wanted to "picture it slowly", naturally couldn't refuse the temptation of "doing it overnight". After careful consideration, he finally chose to do it directly...

"I'm just pushing the wheel of fate along with the trend."

It is said that this was the inner voice of Charles II when he signed the proclamation document.

"Phew - the next thing will depend on you, Viscount Anru, to arrange. I have to explain to my father, and maybe I have to meet His Majesty..."

Senna stretched a lot, turned his head and looked out the window, feeling inexplicably "lonely as a master".

But this matter has been considered a perfect end, Senna is eager to go home, after all, he has completed the task brilliantly this time, and made a lot of money for the family!

I proved my ability!

With a smug face, he briefly explained and then stepped into the carriage on his way home, and left Pakaro City straight away under the escort of more than 300 cavalry sent by his father and two mages. He didn't even forget to grab a pretty maid, just wanting to let off steam on the way.

Viscount Anru sent off with a smile on his face, and when he returned to the city lord's mansion, there was only pure joy left - there were not many people in the Mirno family who could really hold it in his hands, but he was close to the water, and the territories under the dead lord's hands would be generals. Most of them have been collected by him openly and secretly. If all goes well, the territory owned by An Ru can already be ranked among the top five in the kingdom!

Rather than saying it is "war wealth", it is more appropriate to say it is "national disaster wealth" or "dead wealth". But why would Anru care about these? Hundreds of nobles said they were framed and they were framed, and now there is no turning back.

He took a deep breath, and was thinking about how to deal with the matter of the Futhorium Mine, when he heard a soldier report suddenly:

"Master Viscount, Bishop Parick is just outside the City Lord's Mansion and wishes to ask you about the sect's troops."

"Oh. Tell him to wait for me in the living room."

Senna ran fast, and An Ru would naturally need to deal with the rest of the mess. He didn't refuse, and straightened his luxurious robes. An Ru tried hard to suppress the joy on his face, rubbed his eyes red hard, and put on a After feeling "painful", he walked into the living room.

"Bishop Parick, what happened these days is nothing short of a nightmare. The presence of traitors has shamed the kingdom, that duke..."

He had a low voice, and was about to detail how Sally slaughtered her compatriots with tears in his eyes, but he saw the bishop in white robe calmly waving at him:

"Master Viscount Anru, it's not me who wants to ask about things."

After that, he turned slightly sideways, and the woman in the blue priestly robe behind him slightly raised her head——

"Continue talking, I want to hear what Sally you are talking about has done."

The lord of Efta stared sharply at Viscount Anru, and the sullenness in his words was undisguised.

"You... are you still alive?!"

An Ru took a step back in shock, glanced around, and suddenly realized that those people wearing religious robes were not clerics, but all the missing nobles!

"Lord Coleman? Catherine? Lord Fisher? You..."

"Bang!"

The door of the living room was closed by the Knights of Wellington, Viscount Anru looked around with a pale face, completely lost his voice.

*****

the next day.

The maid who woke up from the carriage felt sore all over.

In order to satisfy Viscount Senna, she exhausted all her powers last night. Although she was exhausted, she was still inexplicably excited when she thought that she would be rewarded for it—from now on, she would no longer have to eat those unpalatable foods Bread, and I can wear luxurious clothes that I didn't even dare to think about before...

Although it was early spring, the upper body of the **** inside the carriage was warm and didn't feel cold. Afraid of waking up the Viscount Senna, the maid got up and put on her clothes lightly, but then she frowned suspiciously.

The surroundings seemed to be too quiet.

According to the usual habits, even if the escorting soldiers don't speak, there will always be some movement from the horses moving, armor clashing and various sounds.

"what happened…"

She muttered softly, and casually picked up the dress that Senna had roughly ripped off yesterday, but then she found that her fingertips were a little wet—looking down, the original white fabric turned out to be dark red!

"This is…"

Extending her vision, she found that the bed beneath her was red as far as she could see—the lingering smell of blood in the air woke her up!

An absurd premonition suddenly appeared in her heart, her arms trembling and she pulled off the quilt covering Viscount Senna...

"ah!!!!"

Screams with a different tone resounded throughout the camp, but the hundreds of guards and knights who were supposed to be on guard fell to the ground one by one and fell asleep, even the surrounding horses lay down on the ground - the only exception was that Two mid-level mages with arrows stuck in their chests, who had died.

...

hundreds of miles away.

"Your Majesty has made up his mind this time."

Earl Mirno in the mansion rubbed his eyes. Although he was tired from processing the documents all night, there was an undisguised joy on his brows.

The "treason" and "orc attack" incidents that have occurred in recent days inevitably mean that the kingdom is about to undergo drastic changes from a political point of view, and no matter what the outcome is, it is a good thing for the Milno family who hold the royal family's thigh - the royal family's impact on the Karen Kingdom The stronger the control, the greater the power of the Milno family, this is definitely a certainty!

Efta is over!

The Luciferons are over!

The largest lord in the northwest of the kingdom has fallen, and the day when the Karen Kingdom will be ruled by the royal family is just around the corner!

In the past few days, the Mirno family has almost become the most dazzling existence in the south-central part of the kingdom—the deeds of "Viscount Senna retreated from the orcs and bravely fought against the traitors" have been adapted into popular poems in the territory, and the streets and alleys seem to be personal You can tell a few stories about "Senna wielding a sword and beating an orc".

In the center of the city square, a stone pillar was purposely erected, with an orc head cut off by Senna himself inserted on it, which made countless people praise the Earl for "a tiger father has no dogs". Of course, Earl Mirno's secret support for such "rave reviews" is naturally indispensable, but his ineffective son finally has a future, and he is very relieved after all, laughing from ear to ear all day long.

"This kid, finally enlightened, it's not in vain to go out."

After signing several documents, he compiled a plan for the annexation and integration of Efta. He stamped his own wax seal and asked his servants to take it to Charles II. When he was about to take a break, he saw the butler's face turned pale. Palely, he knocked away a servant, and rushed in from the outside...

Mirno was in a good mood, but he didn't ask questions about it. He said, "What's the panic? Could it be that the orcs came here?"

"Old...Master, I, I—"

The butler has served the family for many years, has a stable personality and a very strict tone, and has never lost his composure in decades. Seeing him, Mirno stuttered for a long time and couldn't even speak, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he immediately realized that something serious had happened.

"What's the matter? Take your time."

"Master, master, he..."

"What happened to him? He came back so soon?"

The butler took a few deep breaths, and finally said it in one breath: "The young master's head was hung on the stone pillar in the square this morning, and a line of words was branded on his forehead by magic, which read 'Treason The end of the victim'!"

With a bang, Earl Mirno took a few steps back, and fell to the ground with blank eyes...
