Chapter 188 The Storm Subsides Temporarily
Chapter 189 The storm has temporarily subsided
The good show in Wushan Castle has ended, and the nobles, big and small, have set off to return to their respective territories one after another, just as they had agreed.
Before Blanche left, Rulans met with her in person, expressed his best wishes, and asked her to bring a letter to His Majesty Bruno.
As for the departure of other nobles, he only showed up symbolically.
Although Rulans was wearing a coat and a hood, outsiders could still see the changes in the Marquis's appearance. He now looked a little older.
Obviously, yesterday's battle had a significant impact on him.
But no matter what, the current Marquis is still standing there, and his specific combat power is still unknown.
And Orson, who challenged rashly, was even carried by someone to get on the carriage, and there were even rumors that he was completely abolished.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Orson has paid the price for his arrogance.
"Ronin, I hope we will see each other again soon."
On the back of the griffin, Blanche was waving goodbye to Ronin.
"It should be soon."
Ronin smiled and waved, and bowed to Broll and Knight Missy to say goodbye: "The journey is long, please take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"This is my duty." Missy saluted as a knight.
Broll nodded, "Please also say goodbye to Lord Rulans for me."
After that, he made a gesture to indicate departure.
Soon, the griffins chirped happily, flapped their wings, and raised a gust of wind. In a blink of an eye, they were in the air and flew away at a very fast speed.
"Let's go too."
Jesus said to his subordinate Ramsay, and at the same time symbolically waved to the nobles of Wushan Territory, riding their griffins away.
He looked down at the castle below from the air, his eyes revealing a displeased light of failure of the plan.
Jesus came here this time with Orson. The main purpose was to find out the true details of Lulans and find an opportunity for Orson, who was also a meteor-level knight, to challenge him.
In their expectation, it would be difficult for Lulans, who was tortured by illness and suppressed, to exert the strength of the meteor-level.
Once Orson defeated Lulans, the latter would definitely suffer from the backlash of old injuries under the serious injury.
In that case, even if they did not kill Lulans, the opponent's life span would be greatly reduced. It is not ruled out that he would die in one or two years, or even shorter.
Once Lulans died, Wushan Territory would definitely be in chaos, and it would be easy to fish in troubled waters at that time.
But he did not expect that the ending would be like this.
Jesus met Orson privately. He did not expect that Lulans could also control that special energy and actually cripple a meteor-level knight from the inside out.
Even his subordinate Ramsay was secretly shocked when he heard it.
Ramsay's strength is stronger than Orson, but he cannot guarantee that he will not be hurt in any way when fighting with Lulans.
If he is not careful, he will also be injected with the inexplicable black energy by Lu Lan Si, then won't he be disabled?
It is not worth it for a meteor star with a bright future to be disabled by an old man in his twilight years.
After this battle, they gave up the idea of using a master to attack Lu Lan Si, which would be a big loss.
Anyway, Lu Lan Si would not take action easily, and Wushan Territory is not a monolithic entity, and other methods can be used to deal with it.
And judging from Lu Lan Si's condition today, it is estimated that the remaining days will not be long.
As for Ronin, to be honest, Jesus did not take this junior seriously.
Although he admitted that the opponent's strength and talent were unexpectedly good, for the current Wushan Territory, it was not the appearance of an excellent junior that could solve the problem.
Wushan Territory was not only facing the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polante Thieves Group, but also had their own supporting forces behind them.
Jesus drove the griffin to the front and level with Ramsey.
"After returning, we need to ask the people below to prepare. While stockpiling supplies, we also need to prepare for the next battle."
"In addition, the action against the Stone Territory will also be launched. I think the time is ripe."
Ramsey nodded, "Okay, father, we should indeed take some action."
The territory of Moonlight Valley is too small, which is not in line with the status of the Jesus royal family.
Of course, they will not go down in person.
The kingdom does not allow the great nobles to rashly start a war.
To put it another way, if they really want to go down, they must first find a very reasonable reason.
In the square of Wushan Castle, with the departure of Her Royal Highness, Jesus, Orson and others, the convoys of other nobles also set off one after another.
Viscount Marvin originally wanted to return with Ronin, but after seeing that the latter would stay in Wushan Castle for a few days, he did not wait.
As the nobles left, Wushan Castle, which had been bustling for more than ten days, finally quieted down.
The busy servants in the castle also breathed a sigh of relief. They finally didn't have to be tense every day.
In the next few days, Ronin spent most of his time in cultivation, apart from shopping. He occasionally accompanied Lulans to sit and stroll, or fought with Breton. Compared with the previous two days, he was much more relaxed.
Five days later, on January 7, Ronin set off to return to Shanlin Town under the escort of a 12-man knight team led by Galil.
Galil was asked to escort him, on the one hand to ensure Ronin's safety, and on the other hand he also had a mission.
Lessen of Sean is still in prison awaiting trial.
These days, his interrogation has been going on, but I didn't expect this guy to be so tight-lipped.
Except for admitting that he had occupied the resources of Shanlin Town and joined forces with Prince to frame Ronin when he couldn't defend himself, he didn't admit anything else.
For example, he didn't admit that he had any relationship with the Skeleton Society, let alone that he organized and planned the assassination of Princess Blanche. He emphasized that this was Ronin's false accusation.
Ronin didn't know whether the other party knew about the assassination at the Colosseum, but the other party was definitely related to the Skeleton Society.
So the key witness, the "Shadow" assassin captured by Ronin, needed to be escorted here from Shanlin Town.
Although it was troublesome, depriving the title and territory of the nobles was never a trivial matter. Even if it was done for other vassals to see, the procedures should be completed properly.
However, Ronin knew that even if the Shadow was sent to Wushan Castle, Leisen might still not admit it.
After all, Shadow only received the assassination mission from the head of the Skull and Bones Society, and he and Leisen might not even know each other.
But this does not mean that there are no other witnesses.
For Ronin, although Joffrey, who surrendered to him, did not have this information, now that the Sean Territory was in his pocket, he did not believe that no one else knew about it.
Let's talk about Knight Feridon, who was stationed in the Black Territory by Leisen.
The other party was a vassal of the Sean Territory and Leisen's most trusted subordinate. He must have been exposed to much more information than a newcomer like Joffrey.
And now, Feridon is probably already a prisoner of Redar. Interrogating him may get more information about the Skull and Bones Society and Leisen.
So this time Galil led the team to Shanlin Town. In addition to protecting Ronin and escorting Shadow, he also needed to send Leisen's close subordinates and family members to be tried.
