Chapter 123 Father and Son

A less explosive battle is about to break out.

As the count's personal bodyguards, these twenty knights are all experienced in battles.

Among them are fourteen intermediate attendants, five senior attendants, and even an intermediate magic apprentice.

Three high-ranking attendants walked toward Thain in a straight line.

They did not take out swords or other weapons, but pulled out a shiny metallic rope from the saddle.

This is a hundred-refined steel rope made with a lot of money from the Earl's Palace. Although it is not a magic item, it relies on its hardness and toughness.

With several ropes stacked up, even those with strong mid-level monsters can be tied tightly.

The Earl had not originally intended to use violence, but it was clear that this son, like him, had a rather stubborn personality.

Perhaps Thain needs to be locked up in the Earl's Castle for a period of time to make this resentful little guy accept this place again.

Moreover, the Earl was also curious about where Thain had been over the years, including the accident nineteen years ago.

Although the count has not found anything clearly in recent years, there are some clues and flaws that seem to point to several other nobles within the Lycian Alliance and certain foreign forces.

The Grant family also has its own enemies.

Even if they are both in the wizarding world, or even in the Lycian Alliance, there are always some conflicts and disputes over interests.

Especially for a large family like the Grant family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, historical grudges will always make this family have some enemies on the surface or in the dark.

With the top pillars of the family as a deterrent, and the relevant knights' hall organizations as coordination, these nobles rarely completely break up with each other.

However, there are often some "little fights" or conspiracy in private.

Just letting a group of bandits in to attack Grant's holiday estate outside the city was nothing.

After all, it was just a six-year-old child who was kidnapped. There were dozens of heirs from many noble families.

It's not Earl Grant himself who died. As long as you handle things cleanly, you don't even know who did it. You can only say it is suspicion.

But suspicion does not lead to conviction.

Although Earl Grant has also consciously retaliated against several hostile families in recent years.

For example, several descendants of the great nobles of the Lycian Alliance died inexplicably on the border battlefield.

They died at the hands of soldiers from the Kingdom of Western France and the Orc Empire.

As for why he appeared there to perform a mission and was surrounded by the legions of the hostile kingdom, and the support from other legions of the Likian Alliance happened to be a bit slow.

I don’t know.

Maybe it was a matter of military deployment. After all, the Lycian League had no king and no unified dispatch.

The quarrels between various nobles are very serious. Sometimes the nobles in power only have a slight dispute, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting.

This is one of the reasons why the Lycian Alliance's territory and total population clearly exceed those of the Kingdom of Western France, but it is at the bottom of the three human kingdoms.

Three senior attendants took action, and Earl Grant thought it would be enough to capture Thane.

He was even thinking about how to communicate with his son and how to persuade him to stay.

As for the earldom, it is not impossible to pass it on to Thain after twenty or thirty years.

The Grant family is powerful. As long as Thain's bloodline is pure, even if he is an ordinary person, he can definitely inherit the family.

As long as he can successfully give birth to offspring for the family.

The decades of life of ordinary nobles may seem like a long time, but in fact, for those beings above the first level, it is nothing at all.

Even first-level creatures can have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years, and it goes without saying that those creatures above first level can live for nearly a thousand years.

Perhaps for those high-level creatures, just in the blink of an eye, his low-level bloodlines were born one after another.

This is the alternation and reincarnation of life.

They are at extremely low levels and cannot see clearly the nature and truth of this world.

In just a few decades, they thought they saw the entire world.

However, this is just the tip of the glacier in terms of the billions of planes in the real star realm.

Only when you reach level one or above can you truly "open your eyes and see the world."

While Earl Grant was still thinking, the battle in front of him was almost over.

The acid cane's surprise allowed Thain to destroy a senior attendant closest to him.

The other two senior attendants also discovered that Thain was not simple, but when they mentioned God again, Thain's flaming knife was basically ready.

This is an unfair battle.

On the one hand, the three senior attendants did not take out their weapons, and on the other hand, they did not expect Thain to be so...

Tricky.

Faced with Thain's sudden outburst and crisp attack, the three of them were actually repelled by Thain alone.

Thain did not harm the lives of these three senior attendants, because he saw that the other party did not have much ill will towards him.

Including the senior attendant who was hit by the strong acid cane, only the metal armor on his thighs was melted, and he was injured and fell off his horse.

As long as it is dealt with promptly, it is not life-threatening.

In the air, the scorching sparks produced by the collision of the flame knife and the metal armor finally brought Earl Grant back to his senses.

Before the earl could say anything, the three senior attendants who had just been repelled by Thain pressed forward again.

This time, they took out their weapons and faintly spit out fighting spirit.

Whether their legs were corroded by strong acid or their breastplates were shattered by the flame knife, the three senior servants did not even utter a muffled groan.

They are worthy of being the Earl's personal guards and the strong soldiers who have fought a hundred battles.

Even if these three senior servants were taken to the Black Magic Academy in Mosobra City, they would not be weak.

The three senior servants pressed forward again, which made Sean's eyes fixed.

He was thinking about whether he should not have held back just now. If the strong acid cane suddenly shot at the head of the senior servant, it would be possible to kill him instantly when the other party was not prepared at all.

Including the other two senior servants who did not care about Sean at first, their injuries would definitely be more serious than now.

Just when Sean was thinking about whether he had become a little soft-hearted, Earl Grant spoke.

"Senior magic apprentice?"

"Hehe, not bad! I didn't expect you to have reached this level, or did you inherit the excellent bloodline of your mother's family?"

"Get out of the way, my son, let me test you myself!" Earl Grant waved his whip and said to the three senior attendants.

The three senior attendants in armor stepped down one by one, and quickly took out the wound medicine from the saddle to treat their injuries.

Having experienced many years of war, they are already very familiar with this set of procedures for treating injuries.

Earl Grant rode a tall horse, he did not dismount to fight, nor did he take out a long sword or other weapons.

A whip was his weapon, and there was a faint purple flame emanating from the whip.
