Chapter 265: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole
"Bang!"
Warwick was thrown heavily to the ground again. This time, his bones seemed to be falling apart, and he couldn't get up.
"Babulin." Ronin called out.
Bablin, who was waiting on the top of the mountain, ran over and said, "Sir, you are back. What do you have to say?"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the stranger lying on the ground with bruises all over his body, and secretly guessed the guy's identity.
"Go and inform Tolu, Marvin, Philip, and Thorstein, and ask them to come here. Just say that I have something urgent to discuss with them."
"Oh, by the way, if Baron Corian is also in the camp, then call him over."
"As you wish, sir!" Bablin immediately went down and shouted.
After Ronin moved out of the Stone Castle, Tolu and others also left the castle and were all preparing to spend the night in the camp.
Bablin soon found them.
"What else does Luo Ning have to do so late?" Tolu asked in surprise.
Bablin shook his head: "Your Excellency did not say it clearly, but I think it is a very important matter, so I would like to trouble Sir Tolu to go there."
Tolu didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, I'll come right away."
Next, Bablin approached Marvin and others. They were equally puzzled, but none of them refused the invitation.
Soon after, everyone gathered in Luo Ning's big tent.
Ronin looked around, "Korien isn't here?"
"My lord, Baron Corian has returned to his castle."
Luo Ning nodded and waved his hand to signal Bablin to retreat.
Marvin couldn't help but ask: "Luo Ning, why did you summon us so late?"
"There is something very important that I want to discuss with you."
He first turned his attention to Tolu: "Sir Tolu, as the leader of the first knights of Wushanbao, will you betray Wushanbao and the Marquis of Rulans?"
Tolu frowned, not understanding what Ronin meant.
"Please do not doubt my loyalty, Ronin."
He solemnly said: "From the day I followed Lord Rulans, my sword will only be swung for him!"
Ronin's eyes turned to Philip and Thorstein.
The two men looked solemn and said the same words as Tolu.
Marvin also prepared his words, but it was a pity that Luo Ning did not ask.
Of course, Luo Ning didn't need to ask. He was familiar enough with Marvin. He had a passionate side and a wise side, but sometimes he was very passionate. To put it simply, he was reckless.
"I know your loyalty to the Marquis, but not all of you are like that."
Luo Ning looked around the four of them and said slowly: "As far as I know, Baron Kerien is already a traitor to Wushan Ridge."
boom!
This sentence immediately shocked the four people present.
"impossible!"
The first person to say this was Tolu, "Luo Ning, although Kerien's performance in the battle in Chishan Town was very bad, I have seen the wounds on his body, and they are indeed from recent battles. And I also inspected They all know the brutality of the battle that night, they can’t be traitors!”
"Yes, Luo Ning, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
Marvin also had to be cautious about such issues.
Groundless slander of nobles may be a small matter, but it may be a big deal. At least it will have a negative impact on Luo Ning's reputation.
Although both Philip and Thorstein were only deputy captains, they were also skeptical of Luo Ning's statement.
They could still believe it when Corian secretly embezzled Wushanbao's property, but betrayal was too serious a word.
Unless Rulans died and the Wushan family completely declined, the price of failed betrayal would be too high.
Having said that, even if there is betrayal, it is an extremely private matter.
Luo Ning arrived at Big Rock Ridge at the same time as them. They didn't hear any news. How did Luo Ning learn about it?
"Did you hear any news?" Tolu calmed down.
His performance just now was a bit excited, mainly because he was the leader of the regiment. He was very heartbroken when he saw the defeated and injured soldiers of the Fifth Knights. He also did not want to see these people who fought bloody battles being unjustly accused.
"Not only did I hear the news, I also caught witnesses."
Ronin clapped his hands, and Joffrey pulled the injured Warwick in and threw him on the ground.
"This is?"
Tolu and others looked at each other, a little confused.
"One of the core figures of the Bolt Thieves, Silver Knight Warwick."
"What?"
Everyone looked at the wounded lying on the ground unable to move in shock. People from the Bolt Thieves Group?
Marvin squatted next to the other party, pulled up the other party's sleeves, and kneaded the other party's flesh.
"The skin and flesh have obvious signs of strengthening. He is indeed the Silver Knight!"
Tolu realized the seriousness of the problem, because even if Ronin was lying, it was impossible to use the Silver Knight as a witness.
He also hurriedly knelt down and made some inquiries, confirming Marvin's statement that the injured man was indeed the Silver Knight.
"Luo Ning, what on earth is going on?"
Luo Ning chuckled and said, "Warwick, tell me about your identity and what Corian has done."
Warwick, who was lying on the ground, trembled unconsciously when he heard Ronin calling his name.
The battle in the forest just now was the most thrilling and most powerless battle he had ever experienced in his life.
He thought he had a sure win, but he lost in the first move of the fight, and then was crushed in all directions.
Warwick was shocked to find that Ronin was actually a silver knight!
Such a young silver knight, this overturned his cognition.
He wanted to tell Amycus and Corian and others that everyone was deceived by this young man, and this guy was the biggest conspirator.
"I, I am indeed a member of the Polish Thieves Group..."
Warwick began to narrate what happened in Chishan Town in a broken and weak voice.
In the tent, apart from his voice, there was only the increasingly heavy breathing of Toru and others.
After Warwick told the purpose of this war - to annihilate the noble coalition, the hot-tempered Marvin couldn't help but swear.
"Damn Corrine, I'm going to kill him!"
Toru also gritted his teeth: "Damn traitor!"
Philip and Thorstein even asked directly: "Sir, why don't we lead the knight squad to surround his castle and capture him alive!"
"Yes, surround his castle overnight!" Marvin also agreed very much.
Toru also nodded and said: "Although the defense of Boulder Castle is strong, Corrine also has three knight squads, but two of them are now in the camp. We can control these two troops and then lead people to surround Boulder Castle and end the battle as quickly as possible."
Of the two deputy commanders, Toru's thinking is clearer, and Marvin is more like a general.
At this time, the curtain of the big tent was drawn open, and Rydar walked in.
He nodded to others first, and then reported to Ronin: "Sir, in the evening, most of Corrine's two knight squads were withdrawn, saying that they were to maintain the defense of Boulder Ridge."
Now, everyone is more convinced of Corrine's betrayal.
The two knight squads have been recruited. Corinne has no command at this time, and he cannot withdraw them without notifying the commander and deputy commander.
Ronin frowned slightly. He had not caught Warwick in the evening, so Corinne should not have transferred these people for the reason of "exposure".
"Rydar, how many soldiers are left in the camp?"
"Six professional knights, half of the cavalry and half of the infantry."
Ronin nodded, "Joffrey."
Joffrey, who was guarding outside the tent, came in.
"Go and inform Knight McKen and Knight Talen that no one, especially Corinne's people, is allowed to leave the camp tonight."
"Yes!"
Toru looked at Joffrey who was walking away, and he suddenly realized that this war command did not seem to need his assistance. Lulans might not know his grandson well enough.
Perhaps, this battle between Chishan Town and the Polante Bandits will be Ronin's battle of fame.
"Ronin, how are you going to deal with Corian?"
Toru asked, "We will follow your instructions."
Marvin and the other two also looked at Ronin. The strongest knight of the coalition said so, which meant that the latter would have full command of this war.
Ronin thought for a moment and said, "Attacking at night is hasty, and coupled with the poor visibility, unfamiliar terrain, and strong defense of the Giant Stone Castle, it is obviously not wise to besiege Corian now."
"And don't forget, we still have an enemy in Chishan Town. If too much damage is caused by capturing Corian, I don't want to see it."
"You are right, we were just blinded by anger."
Marvin took a deep breath and calmed down: "I have observed the Giant Stone Castle of Corian. The walls are very thick. Even with fighting skills, it is impossible to blast it open easily. It is indeed not a simple matter to attack it."
He looked at Ronin: "What are you going to do?"
"We don't need to go in."
Ronin's eyes flashed with calculation: "We just need to pretend that nothing happened. Summon him to the camp to discuss things early tomorrow morning, and then join forces to capture him."
Toru's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "This is a good idea!" (End of this chapter)
