Chapter 204: Imperial Conference (Part 3)

The drizzle in the sky was still falling slowly, with no sign of stopping.

On the gradually muddy road, many carriages were parked. The carriages were no longer limited to staying on the road. They formed a large circle with many farmlands.

Many knights stood on the periphery to guard, and more guards and knights scattered, rushing in all directions like ants.

If these knights had not searched diligently, the current situation would be very dangerous.

Because they didn't know whether the enemy's magic cannon could still fire.

In the circle, the women and the younger people stayed on the periphery. The powerful knights and vassals stayed inside. They gathered around a wreckage, silently.

Many knights and guard knights knelt on one knee, their faces covered with something that they didn't know whether it was rain or tears.

The baron and the baroness died.

The magic cannon accurately hit the carriage that the baron and his wife were riding in, and sent away the coachman and two knights together.

The beam rushed over directly, turning the carriage and the baron and his wife into dust, leaving only a few debris. The explosion point was in another place not far away.

Fortunately, Alice, Philip, Latin and other baron's children were sitting in other carriages, so the baron did not die out.

But the problem is still very serious.

Knight Gandor died, he had no heir, and the ownership of the knight's title would be a dispute. It stands to reason that the baron will announce that Sicia and Gandor will become the new generation of Gandor Knights soon.

But now even the baron is dead.

Two big figures died in Barton's territory at once, leaving a knight title and a baron title vacant.

Everyone present was silent, and they all felt that a storm was approaching.

"Where is your father? Why are you doing all the recent actions of the Pompeii family?" Natsu Wilson looked at Luther gloomily and questioned.

"My father went to the Endless Forest, and there is no news of him now." Luther bowed to the current first vassal and replied.

"How can a knight lord go to the Endless Forest so easily? He is too irresponsible, especially at this time."

Naz, Wilson scolded.

Luther had no way to refute.

Because the Pompeii family is indeed a knight vassal under the Baron family, and has been protected by the baron for generations. Now that Barton has such a big thing, the contemporary Pompeii knight Sol, Pompeii, is missing.

This is a dereliction of duty that cannot be refuted.

However, the gloomy Knight Wilson did not catch the Pompeii family's little braid and chatter about it, which would be meaningless.

"Now we must first determine the next generation of Gandal Knights, and successfully invite Knight Philip to become the new Baron, and send people to report to the Archon Count Libya and the King. And ask Count Libya to send someone to investigate the cause of the Baron's death. No matter who the other party is, I always feel that it is too weak to investigate with our strength."

Naz, Wilson said in an orderly manner.

Now only he has the ability to calm the situation and give orders.

"Before this, the Baron has sent a wave of knights to the Golden City and asked Count Libya to send people to protect the territory."

A guardian knight said.

"What if this group of people is intercepted halfway? Send someone else to disguise to the Golden City." Naz, Wilson said.

"Yes."

The guardian knight said.

"Pack up immediately, we will go back to Kaiyue City, hold a meeting, let Knight Philip inherit the title of Baron, and determine the next generation of Gandal Knights."

Naz, Wilson said at last.

"Yes."

Everyone, including Luther, responded, and the team started again, but this time the vigilance was much stricter, and many knights were scattered around the team to ensure that no one was ambushed.

Soon after, the team arrived at Kaiyue City and entered the hall of Barton Castle. All qualified people entered the hall, including Luther, Pompey, the representative of the Pompey family, and the knights of the seven major families.

Barton's vassal, the leader of the Guardian Knight Family, and the children of the Baron.

There is also Sicia, the Knight of Gandor, who seems to be destined to become the next generation of Gandor Knights.

All the unqualified people are waiting outside the castle.

There are more than fifty people entering the castle. The male and female servants are busy arranging chairs. After entering the hall, Naz Wilson said to Philip Barton: "Mr. Knight, now the matter is urgent, you sit in that position."

Naz Wilson pointed to the position of the baron.

"Okay." Philip Barton, the eldest son of the baron who looked similar to the baron and inherited the baron's timid personality, was pale and at a loss.

Seeing Naz Wilson's instructions, he nodded and sat in the baron's seat.

After that, the knights who entered the hall were divided into two rows, among which the vassal knights headed by Naz Wilson sat on the right, and the second row was Sicia and Gandaor, and the third row was Luther and Pompey.

Sitting on the left were the Guardian Knights, headed by the Knight Commander.

"Sisso, Rufen."

The Rufen family was a family trusted by the Barton family. All the Knight Commanders of the Barton family came from the Rufen family. The Rufen family was responsible for protecting the baron and managing the entire Guardian Knight family sequence.

In terms of status, Sisso and Rufen could compete with Naz and Wilson.

And this Sisso, Knight Commander Rufen, also had the strength of a senior knight.

Luther had not had much contact with this Knight Commander. At first glance, this Knight Commander should be a silent person, a person who could do things without speaking.

Such people are very low-key and don't like to show off.

So the people who are currently presiding over the meeting are still Naz and Wilson.

In addition to the Barton family's ministers, Alice, Barton, Latin, and Barton also sat down, but they sat on the left and right of Philip and Barton.

Latin looked a little sad and his face was very pale.

Alice.

Hmm.

Luther felt that the eldest daughter of the baron did not care about the death of the baron and his wife, and was currently pretending to be sad.

Anyway, Luther felt that although he was ranked third because of the reputation of the Pompeii family, as a junior, he should be mainly a bystander in this Barton family meeting.

And this meeting should not be a turbulent one.

Lucy and Barton were far away in the Golden City. He wanted to compete for the position of baron, but it was too late now.

The baron basically belonged to Philip.

No one competed with Sicia and Gandor for the title of Gandor Knight, so the meeting would end soon. The question was what state Barton would enter next.

Facing the threat of unknown enemies.

Who was the other party?

Lucy and Barton?

Natsu and Wilson?

Luther felt that the suspicion of these two people was already small. Luther knew something about Lucy and Barton. No matter how much this person wanted the title of baron, it was impossible for him to attack his father.

If a son could take power by killing his father, then the whole of Prussia would have been in chaos.

Naz and Wilson had reasons to murder Barbana and Gandal, but no reason to murder the baron.

Now it seems that the possibility of the new party is very high.

The new party was established with the intention of overthrowing the aristocratic rule of the Kingdom of Prussia. Will their power finally take action against Orange?

Luther felt very heavy in his heart.

But the development of the situation was beyond Luther's expectations.
