Game of the World Tree

"Yes, Lord Bowen, Lord Wolfe is waiting for you in his manor."

The guard said respectfully.

Wolfe was the surname of the Grand Commander of the Seventh Army and Bowen's immediate boss.

He is the highest commander of the Seventh Guards Corps. However, if there is no major event on weekdays, he seldom finds Bowen. In most cases, he is a hands-off shopkeeper.

Bowen nodded slightly.

He glanced at each other vaguely with his own guards, and after a moment of indulgence, he said:

"I understand, you wait for me outside, I'll pack up and go."

After getting the promise, the head of the regiment saluted and retired.

After the other party left, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became serious.

"Lord Head, did the head notice something? Didn't the Imperial Council just hold a big meeting? How could it be possible that something suddenly came to us?"

A guard knight said with some concern.

"Yeah, and it's getting late at this time..."

Another knight of the guard said the same thing.

Bowen frowned slightly.

He thought for a while, then shook his head uncertainly:

"I don't know, but... it may be something really happened. The Pope has just left, and the security in the city has not been stable these days, and the Seventh Guards Corps has always been involved in the work of cooperating with security..."

After thinking for a few seconds, he said again:

"But since he is looking for me, I should go there anyway, otherwise, even if he doesn't notice anything, he will find something wrong."

After speaking, he exhorted the two personal guards:

"In this way, after I leave, you all follow quietly and pay attention to the situation at the manor. If I haven't come out for more than two hours, or if there is any bad news, then hurry back and contact Fabian. Tell him that our plan may have changed, and let him change the original plan..."

And speaking of this, Bowen shook his head again and changed his words:

"No... If it really arrives at that time, I'm afraid it's too late, so, after I leave, you should quickly divide into two groups, one to find Fabian, and the other to keep an eye on the movement of the manor. Problems are signaled to the other side to implement emergency plans."

"Emergency plan?"

The guards were slightly taken aback.

"I have already discussed the specific details with Fabian. It is enough for you to recite it like this. At that time, he will be your highest commander."

Bowen said solemnly.

After speaking, he fumbled for a moment from his arms, took out a magic scroll, and stuffed it into the two:

"This is signal magic. Once it is torn apart, it can be clearly seen within three kilometers."

"Master Captain!"

The guards looked worried.

However, Bowen just smiled:

"Don't worry, this is the worst case, maybe it's just that I really have something to do with me, don't worry too much..."

"Calm down, the more critical it is, the more we have to calm down and not show any flaws."

After explaining a few words, Bowen left his office.

Outside the station, the carriage of the head of the regiment was already waiting.

Looking at the magnificent carriage, Bowen took a deep breath and sat in.

Unlike Bowen, the commander of the 7th Guards was a true hereditary nobleman, a court earl whose ancestors were said to be related to the Tres family.

Although the other party also has his own office in the seventh legion's station, he prefers to work in his earl's manor.

The Earl's Manor is located on the outskirts of Mania City, not far from where the Seventh Legion resides.

In the past, the commander of the seventh legion also liked to summon his subordinates to the manor to discuss important matters, and even often held dinner parties to entertain the captains of the troops in the legion.

However, similar invitations are generally made half a day to a day in advance, and usually in the evening, and it is rare to be so anxious today.

This is why Bowen and the guards are instantly vigilant.

Getting into the carriage, Bowen left the 7th Legion's quarters.

The two personal guards also changed their clothes, and the troops were divided into two groups. One went to find the other subordinates left behind by Bowen, and the other quietly followed the carriage.

When Bowen came to the front of the manor, it was noon.

At noon in June, the sun was already a little hot in summer, and the Earl's Manor was as gorgeous as ever, and many soldiers could be seen patrolling back and forth.

There is no difference from the past.

"Lord Bowen, we are here."

The guards of the big team battle said respectfully.

Bowen nodded and got off the carriage, and the deacon of the manor immediately greeted him and led the way for him.

"Master Bowen, the master is waiting for you in the council hall."

Entering the gorgeous manor, the chief's butler greeted him and saluted Bowen respectfully.

At the same time, another maid stepped forward, holding an empty tray in her hand.

Looking at the tray, Bowen hesitated for a second, but he quickly took out his weapon and put it on according to the old rules.

After that, under the leadership of the housekeeper, he came to the discussion hall in the manor.

When Bowen entered the council hall, Wolfe, the big team battle of the 7th Guards, was already waiting here.

This is an elegant middle-aged aristocrat wearing a wig, and he is very particular about his gorgeous clothes. He is standing in front of the window, admiring the scenery outside the window.

Noticing Bowen, he smiled slightly and turned around:

"Bawn, are you here?"

"Master Chief, what happened?"

Bowen asked respectfully.

With that said, he glanced at the conference table and found a stack of parchment in front of the seat.

It wasn't the parchment, though, that attracted Bowen, but the two things on the parchment.

One, is a golden Mania gold and silver fruit.

One, a rough piece of cloth dyed on one side.

At that moment, Bowen's pupils shrank suddenly, and a warning sign suddenly rose in his heart.

"Bowen, your face doesn't seem very good-looking... It seems that you are no stranger to the things on this table."

Earl Wolfe smiled.

As he spoke, his expression gradually turned cold:

"Bowen, do you have anything that needs to be explained to me?"

"Lord Wolf, I don't know what you're talking about..."

Bowen concealed the fear in the depths of his eyes and said solemnly.

"Heh, are you still trying to play stupid? Look at the list on the table!"

Wolff snorted coldly and said.

Bowen's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously looked at the parchment on the table, and his expression changed drastically.

On it, the names are recorded.

To be more precise, it was the names of senior officers who had partially joined the resistance and planned to resist together two days later.

Among them, Bowen's name is also impressively included.

not good! *Exposed!

In an instant, a storm surged in Bowen's heart.

Without hesitation, he suddenly burst into flames, took out a hidden dagger from the soles of his feet with an angry shout, and stabbed it towards Count Wolfe.

However, Count Wolf was quicker to respond.

I saw him snorted coldly, kicked up and kicked Bowen's chest.

Bowen only felt a sharp pain, he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, flew out, hit the wall, and slowly slipped...

At this moment, Bowen felt like the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

There is no way, the strength gap between the two sides is too great.

Although he is a golden knight, Wolff is a half-step legend.

The next second, a line of heavily armed knights rushed in, obviously prepared to surround Bowen.

Among the knights, there is also a senior officer.

Seeing the appearance of the senior officer, Bowen's expression changed slightly, and then he became furious:

"Andre! It's you!"

He recognized it, it was a subordinate he trusted, and one of the earliest resistance comrades in arms developed, but he did not expect to betray him at the most critical moment!

Hearing Bowen's anger, the senior officer looked complicated, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, sighed, and said:

"Sorry...Lord Bowen, I've exposed, but I still have a family, and I have to think about the safety of my family..."

"you!"

Bowen was furious.

He coughed up blood and struggled to sit up.

But it was soon overwhelmed by the knights.

Count Wolfe glanced at him indifferently:

"Bowen, tell me your informant and plan, and I can spare your life."

"Bah! Don't even think about it! You noble dog!"

Bowen spat out blood and cursed.

Wolff's expression sank.

But soon, he sneered again and said:

"It's pretty tough..."

"However, you don't care about your life, and you don't know whether you care about the lives of your wife and children."

Earl Wolfe narrowed his eyes and said.

Hearing this, Bowen's expression changed greatly.

And the next moment, he saw his wife being roughly pushed in by the knights.

"Manina!"

Bowen exclaimed.

He wanted to struggle, but he was seriously injured and couldn't move under the suppression of the knights.

"Bowen, give you a chance to tell your plans and accomplices, and I can spare you and your family based on the friendship you have obeyed me for many years."

Count Wolf said.

Bowen's expression changed, his face struggling.

However, his wife Manina cried out:

"Bowen! Don't tell him! Nobles can't be trusted! Little Bowen has successfully escaped! I'm not afraid of death! Don't care about my safety!"

"Shut up! Shut her mouth!"

Count Wolf roared.

Hearing his words, the knights roughly blocked Manina's mouth with a strip of cloth.

"Manina!"

Bowen looked worried.

The next moment, he saw a flash of determination in his wife's eyes.

I saw that she suddenly struggled while the knight was unprepared, and slammed into the long sword in the knight's hand. With a muffled sound, the long sword pierced her chest.

Blood spurted out instantly.

"Manina!"

Bowen's eyes widened, his expression grim.

Manina slid slowly.

She whimpered a few times, unable to speak, but looked at Bowen with infinite tenderness.

Bowen read her gaze.

In those eyes, there was comfort and encouragement.

Then, she closed her eyes deeply.

"Ahhh-!"

Bowen roared with grief, burst out with unprecedented strength, and broke free from the knight's control in an instant.

I saw him knock a knight to the ground with one punch, then grab the opponent's long sword and stab at Wolff.

Wolff snorted coldly, took out his long sword, and chopped down the violent Bowen again.

This time, without hesitation, he chopped off Bowen's head with one sword.

As Bowen's officer for many years, he is very aware of the character of the other party. If his wife died and the child fled, this deputy head probably will never tell the information about the Church of Life.

The bright red blood spurted, until the moment of death, Bowen's eyes were still filled with infinite anger.

His head rolled to the ground, his eyes burst out, staring at the sky.

And his body slowly fell softly and fell together with his wife's corpse.

And Count Wolfe took off the blood-stained white gloves, threw them to the ground, and ordered the knight:

"Hang their heads in the Legion's camp as an example!"

"Don't wait to find other traitors, catch the guys on the list first, bring more knights, don't let everyone run away."

The knights saluted respectfully and dragged the corpse down.

The senior officer who betrayed Bowen had a complicated expression.

He glanced at Count Wolff in awe, struggled for a moment, and put on a look of apprehension:

"The regiment... the head of the regiment, now, can you spare my family now?"

Wolfe glanced at him, but said nothing.

The senior officer became more and more uneasy.

He was about to say something else, but suddenly his chest hurt.

Looking down, a sword blade penetrated his chest and was stabbed from behind.

It was the knight standing behind him.

He opened his mouth and looked at Wolfe blankly, but what he saw was an indifferent face.

Then, his body softened and slowly fell to the ground.

In the last second of consciousness, what he heard was this sentence:

"I hate traitors the most, and hang up this guy's body."

Then, the senior officers knew nothing.

"Captain, what about his family?"

A knight asked.

"All killed."

Wolff said casually.

"By the way, and the little tail that came after you outside, let's chop it off too."

He added.

...

Time passed in seconds.

The personal guards who stayed at the station did not wait for the news, nor did they wait for the so-called warning signal.

"Gebel, did the captain really say that?"

Beside him, Fabian, the division captain of the legion, frowned and asked.

"Yes, the head of the regiment said that if the signal is seen, the emergency plan will be activated."

Said the guard knight.

Fabian nodded and paced back and forth in the room.

After a while, he looked at the time again, and his expression became more and more uneasy:

"It's been a little too long..."

After struggling for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he said solemnly:

"No, we can't wait any longer, change the plan now and activate the emergency plan."

"No wait? But...no signal yet..."

The guard was stunned.

"No wait! It's been so long, and there's no news yet. There must be trouble. I'm afraid it's still a big trouble. We are very likely to be exposed. Maybe even Jurgen from the past has encountered an accident."

"We don't have time to hesitate, and we don't have the capital to gamble. We have to plan for the worst!"

Fabian said.

After speaking, he ordered the guards:

"Gebel, get ready, let's start the emergency plan."

"But... Lord Fabian, what is the emergency plan?"

The guard was a little puzzled.

"The plan is exposed, the action is advanced, and the revolt is immediate!"

As Fabian said, he took out a golden armband and put it on his right arm.

Then, he took out a new magic scroll from the office, opened the window and tore it open.

A dazzling light blooms on the reels.

The next moment, a strong light rose from the sky, accompanied by a piercing long cry.

With a bang, a huge fireworks burst into the sky.

At this moment, even from far away in Mania City, you can see it clearly.
