Chapter 247 On-Site
The living room fell into silence.
Because of the conflict between the vassal knights and the guard knights, the strength of the Barton family was seriously damaged. During this period, Baron Philip began to recruit members of the vassal knight family to return to Kaiyue City to replace the original guard knights.
But during this period, they only recruited fifty or sixty people. And most of them were junior knights and intermediate knights.
In the last conflict, two senior knights were lost, including the knight leader, Xi Suo, and Rufen.
Not to mention other intermediate knights.
These people can't make up for the loss of the Barton family. And now the Barton family is so weak, and the new party is so active.
In addition, the death of the baron last time was most likely done by the new party. The new party may even know the situation of the Barton family, as well as Lucy Barton, and the killing of Gandalf and his son. They manipulated everything behind the scenes and achieved the goal of consuming the strength of the Barton family.
The new party is always a terrible shadow. They are laying out their plans across the country, and their ultimate goal is to send all the noble lords to the gallows, so as to control the kingdom.
In the face of such a terrible enemy, the nobles must not take it lightly.
"There is no way, now we can only strengthen our vigilance. The only thing to be thankful for is that if the new party wants to seize the kingdom, they will first take the king's head. If they want to seize Orange, they must first take the head of the Libyan earl. We are always a secondary target. If the king and the earl fail, then we will also fail. If the king and the earl hold on, I believe we can also hold on."
Naz, Wilson squinted his eyes slightly, his face was very feminine, and his breath was even colder. At this moment, he squinted his eyes, and looked more like a poisonous snake.
Exuding a dangerous breath.
"Naz, I hate this about you. Although you are upright, your temperament is too feminine, and it can't boost morale at all. If that guy Babana was here, everyone's morale would probably be boosted immediately now."
Old Thor glared at Naz, Wilson said.
Natsu, Wilson felt embarrassed, and his narrowed eyes opened again. The vassals thought of the deceased Knight Gandal of the previous generation, and couldn't help but miss him.
That one was the truly powerful, reliable, and trustworthy first vassal.
With him, the situation would be different.
"Anyway, there's nothing to say. As long as the Pompeii family doesn't perish, the Barton family won't perish." Old Sol was a little impatient with this kind of meeting. He stood up and bowed to Baron Philip, and then walked out of the living room.
"That's right, strengthen your vigilance and wait for the new party to come." Knight Williams shrugged and followed him out.
The vassals walked out one by one, and the meeting ended in a hurry.
There was no way out, just to stop the enemy with the generals and cover the water with the earth.
Whether it was Pompeii or the Barton family, their strength was too weak, and the upcoming war was not something they could control at all.
Even the Earl of Libya was just a bigger chess piece in this war.
The real contest will be between the king, the new party, and that big shot.
After the vassals went downstairs, they met up with the heirs.
"Now that we're done, stay in the official residence in the city for one night and go back to Pompeii tomorrow." Old Sol said to Luther.
"Dad, you go with Mom first. I'll go to the city with Newton and the others." Luther said.
Of course, Mrs. Sophie will also attend this ball. She is currently waiting in the carriage.
"Is there a way at night?" Old Sol's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly. Since Miss Ruth disappeared, Luther has always been alone.
Old Sol was worried about Luther's happiness and wished his son would go out and fool around.
"Whatever you think." Luther shrugged, then met up with Newton, Marshall and others, and the group left Barton Castle in a mighty manner.
Because they were in Kaiyue City, they didn't have to worry about safety. So they didn't bring any family guard knights.
Besides, they were all knights. They still have the ability to protect themselves.
Kaiyue City is not lively at night. The only things open now are the taverns and the opera house. However, the opera house in Kaiyue City is really very small, so it is meaningless to go there.
Ordinary taverns are not suitable for them either.
Fortunately, they already have a place to go.
Six people walked on the street with their arms around each other. There was no star in the sky today, and it was pitch black. However, the most basic ability of the knights is night vision, so they are not afraid of walking into the stinky ditch.
"Newton, is your girlfriend Aisha pretty?"
Marshall asked curiously with a mean breath.
"A farmer's daughter, probably just average." Someone said.
"That's not necessarily true. A farmer's daughter may also be very beautiful. Otherwise, Newton would not be so fascinated."
"Don't call her the farmer's daughter all the time. When you see Miss Aisha, be polite and call her Miss Aisha."
Luther gave each of the two guys a club.
"We are not that stupid."
"That's right."
The two guys said with a smile.
"She is not very pretty, just an average person. But she looks very pretty when she smiles, I like her very much." Newton said with a smile, his face full of happiness.
The group soon came to a villa in the villa area. The door of the villa was closed, but the lights in the villa were on.
"Cousin, Aisha, it's me, Newton."
Newton went forward and called the door, but no one came to open it after calling several times. Newton reached out and pushed it, and the door was pushed open.
Newton's body froze and he didn't move.
"Why don't you go in? Don't block the way, Newton."
"Yes, we still have to see Miss Aisha."
Because Newton was a fat man, he blocked the door, so Luther and others behind him couldn't see anything, and the two guys in front started to make a noise.
But Luther noticed something was wrong. He stopped the two mischievous guys, then came to Newton's side and saw the situation inside through a small gap.
Luther's pupils shrank.
The hall was in a mess, with traces of struggle everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of **. There were three girls in dishevel, lying in the hall in different postures.
Luther listened carefully, and found that two of them still had heartbeats but fainted, but one of them had no heartbeat.
In addition, there was a big box in the hall. The big box was slightly opened, and there were golden coins inside, estimated to be one thousand gold coins.
"Aisha."
Newton suddenly screamed and rushed to a girl.
It was that girl, who had no heartbeat.
