Lord of War
90. Hongmen Banquet
Three days is not too long, but not too short either.
This time was proposed by Cecilia after referring to the distance from Royce Manor to Tindersburg. And according to this point in time, if Count Mario wants to be in time, then he must act immediately after receiving the invitation letter. The letter said that Count Mario was allowed to bring Martin, Mulders and a group of knights, but it did not make it clear whether Count Mario was allowed to come with the escort.
And this point can also be regarded as a key factor that can be used by Duroen.
If Count Mario arrives on time, even if he comes with an escort, it doesn't matter if they enter the castle, because the recruits trained by Old Peter are not really vegetarian. And if Count Mario wanted to show his prestige and deliberately delayed his arrival, then Duroen, as the heir to the prospective lord, naturally had the right to order Count Mario to keep the guards in the castle.
No matter from which aspect, Duroen naturally occupies a great geographical factor at present.
As for people and people, that's what both sides have. And in the sky, obviously there is no place to play.
This so-called banquet invitation had no intention from the beginning to allow Count Mario and his private army to return alive. Since it is already a battle in which only one person can survive in the end, it is natural to do everything possible, and Duroen's advantage is that in addition to the geographical advantage, they all know that this is a battle against Mario's kill, but Mario didn't know it was a kill against him.
In his opinion, Du Luen, the nephew, will bow to him after all.
Hundreds of black-armored cavalrymen, led by ten knights, formed a sanitation formation, led by the heavy-armoured knight Martin. His childhood was not easy. He was always hungry and cold, and he lived without a meal until he met Count Mario. Since then, the trajectory of his life has changed. If Count Mario loses power, he will If it leads to betrayal and separation, then Martin will never betray Mario.
In a way, the heavy armored knight Martin is indeed a very loyal knight.
At the very center of the Sanitation Array is a luxurious carriage.
All the knights around are there to protect this carriage. There is no doubt that the person sitting in the carriage at this time is naturally Count Mario and his staff, the magician from the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, Mulders.
"It seems that my nephew has already conceded." Mario squeezed the extraordinarily beautiful and luxurious letter in his hand, with a very proud look on his face, "If you can become a lord like this, it will also be a blessing to the territory. A good thing, at least a civil unrest has been avoided."
There was a haze in Mulders' eyes, but he was very well hidden, so Mario was not seen. For him, or for the entire Medusa Chamber of Commerce, what they really care about is not who the last lord of this territory is, but if Count Mario becomes the lord, it will benefit them slightly more, but If Duroen becomes the lord in the end, their loss is not really big.
Because what they really want is a territory in chaos.
But not long ago, he had just received a tip from the Medusa Chamber of Commerce. Tindes led an underground passage stronghold, which was destroyed, and even brought the crypt ice spider that the Medusa Chamber of Commerce had worked so hard to get. The eggs are completely gone. Judging from the situation in the crypt, it seems that a mercenary found this place, but there was a large-scale civil strife, because there were many mercenary bodies in the crypt.
As a result, it is natural that the Medusa Chamber of Commerce has no way to find useful clues, and they have not heard of anyone planning to sell these spider eggs recently.
In fact, after receiving the news, Mulders checked the location of the accident, and he was a little suspicious of Sean.
Because Sean happened to be around there at the time. But although he was interested in going to Sean to ask, but for so many days, there was no news of him at all. The latest news is that three days ago, Sean brought Cecilia and another named Alfred. De's people entered the city of Arora, and then disappeared completely.
"Is there any news from Sean yet?" Mario put the letter in his hand gently and asked suddenly.
Mulders was suddenly awakened, knowing that this is not the time to be in a daze and thinking, and said respectfully: "Yes, there is no news about him yet. But... I have sent people to the Forest of Starfall and several borders. Keep it, as long as you find the news of Sean, it will be sent back immediately. At present, none of these places have been sent back, which proves that the other party should still be in the territory of Tinders, and it may even be in the city of Arora.”
Mario nodded: "Continue to keep an eye on this matter, and I will deal with it after I become a lord. ... But at that time, it will not be urgently needed. Anyway, there are not many of them, and there are not many of them."
Mulders nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Inside the carriage, silence soon fell, only the sound of the wheel reel was heard.
Count Mario, this time it's the real all out. And this team did not enter the city of Anrolla. When they were in the suburbs, they turned and drove directly to Tindesburg, just in time to enter the castle before the dinner began. For this, Old Peter, who was in charge of the command of the castle guard, did not prevent the entry of Count Mario's personal soldiers, but when he saw the attire of these personal soldiers, his pupils shrank obviously.
These equipment are obviously much better than them, and from the perspective of the opponent's momentum, it is obviously an army that has really experienced battles and killings, far from being comparable to these recruits led by old Peter. In this way, although they still have the advantage of geographical location, and the number of people is nearly double that of the other party, but if they really fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to obtain any benefits, and maybe the casualties will be very heavy.
However, he did not express these concerns, but dutifully began to arrange the accommodation of these personal guards. Even if these people will soon become dead people, Mario cannot be suspicious in this regard. Of course, Old Peter actually has the idea of incorporating them. If he can really make these people his own, for Dingde Sling's military power must have improved a lot, and he can see that many of these people are veterans in the castle.
As for the other ten knights, of course, it is impossible to stay here, they all have other accommodation.
Although Old Peter is not good at dealing with these tasks, his unique aura with military characteristics is indeed easy to arouse the goodwill of Mario and others, and even Mario has included Old Peter in some ways. idea. Of course, another reason for these people to be so relaxed is that, in their opinion, Mario will soon become the lord of the Tindes Territory, and that kid Duroun has obviously given up, and maybe old Peter will soon be To be one's own, of course there is no need to put on airs at this moment.
Many times, soldiers are actually very simple and straightforward, and they never play any tricks.
"Where's Duroun?" Mario glanced around, and he had begun to claim himself as a true lord.
"Lord Viscount is waiting for you in the restaurant." Old Peter lowered his head, showing a humble look, "Lord Viscount has already instructed, Sir Count is invited to go alone. The dining place for others will be in the side hall next door. ."
"I will definitely serve the adults." Before Mario could speak, Martin was the first to speak.
His expression was solemn, and it was obvious that this was not a word of loyalty, but that he really intended to do it. Even if Duroen and old Peter disagreed, Martin would not leave. Anyway, in his opinion, the lord of the Tindes Territory will soon be replaced by Mario.
As for Martin's statement, Mario didn't say anything, but looked at Old Peter with interest, obviously wanting to see what he did.
Unexpectedly, Old Peter didn't seem to have any difficulty at all: "Viscount Duroen had expected that Your Excellency Martin would definitely go with him, so Viscount Duroen did not object, but he said that you can only stand and not eat."
After all, he ignored the expressions of Martin and Mario and turned to lead the way.
Soon, Mario and others were led out of the restaurant. However, Old Peter did not enter, but after waiting for Mario and Martin to enter the restaurant, Old Peter took the remaining knights to the side hall for dinner. However, Old Peter still did not dine in the side hall at this time. He chose to leave on the grounds that other soldiers still needed to be arranged.
In the dining room, Du Luen did not sit on the main seat, but sat in the first position on the right side of the main seat, which was the position he had always been in before.
Mario glanced at the main seat, but he did not sit in the main seat, but sat in the first position on the left, sitting opposite Du Luen at the table. However, when he saw that there was still a person standing behind Du Luen, his pupils shrank slightly, because in his intelligence system, there was no information about the person wearing the mask, but he just looked at the other person. The momentum is not so strong, so the mood is a little relaxed.
As for Martin, all his attention was on the masked man standing behind Duroen.
After seeing Mario seated, Duroen clapped his hands lightly, and soon servants began to serve various dishes on the table. During the meal, neither Duroen nor Mario said a word, but ate very quietly. If it weren't for the fact that the atmosphere was stagnant and terrifying, the picture in front of them would have been very warm.
The menu is prepared according to the specifications of a formal banquet. From appetizers, pre-dinners, main dishes, and side dishes to everything, but when it came to the last dessert after the meal, only one was served, and the lid of the meal was not opened, which made the Earl of Malayo curious. .
"Uncle, I have taken care of you for so many years." Duroen wiped his mouth with a napkin, then said with a smile.
With Du Luen's words, the atmosphere in the restaurant eased a little, and Mario knew that the main play had finally begun.
"Actually, if uncle really wants the position of lord, he can just talk to his nephew." Duroen didn't seem to want Mario to open his mind, but continued to talk on his own, which made Mario He raised his brows slightly, "Even if it is the will of the father, there is no chance of change."
"What do you want to say?"
Duroen raised his head and glanced at Mario, and then lifted the lid of the meal, which was not a dessert at all, but a short dagger! Mario looked up at Duroun in surprise, but saw a trace of resentment in his eyes: "You shouldn't have poisoned my father.... That's your brother!"
...
On the other side, Mario's carriage had been pulled to the stables in the castle.
Sean, who had been waiting here, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the luxurious carriage, and chuckled: "Lord Mulders, how long are you going to hide in there?"
After a moment of silence, the carriage door slowly opened, and a man in a black magic robe jumped out of the carriage. Seeing that his skills were completely lacking in the weakness that is unique to a magician. After getting out of the car, Mulders didn't have a hint of surprise on his face, but stared at Sean calmly. After a while, he said, "I really made a mistake."
"Oh?" Sean raised his eyebrows with interest, "What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't underestimate you." Mudes said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to be on Duroun's side. It seems that helping the Black Cat Merchant Guild regain the obelisk, thus making the Medusa Chamber of Commerce possible. Can't continue to reinforce Count Mario, is it also you who did it?"
"That was an accident." Sean shrugged, "Who made your Medusa Chamber of Commerce not have what I want."
"And what about the crypt tunnel?"
"That's really another accident." Sean smiled, but the look on his face didn't look like an accident, "I really didn't expect that your Medusa Chamber of Commerce also got involved in this matter. "
"I'd really like to know, what's not an accident?"
"I didn't want to participate in the inheritance struggle between Mario and Duroen. In my opinion, Mario is indeed more suitable to be a lord, because he is more ambitious." Sean's face became calmer, and a little bit more. Ling Ran's imposing manner, "But it's a pity, the Medusa Chamber of Commerce wants to kill me, and you are so close to Mario, so I can only stand on Duroun's side. I don't want to be worried about by a lord."
"Then if I say it, this is actually an accident, do you believe it?"
"The two things I said before were accidents, do you believe them again?"
"It seems that we have nothing to say." Mulders shook his head. "So what are you going to do now?"
"Kill you." A smile appeared on Sean's face, and the killing intent suddenly exploded, approaching Mulders.
It's just that Mulders didn't seem to react at all. He also had a chuckle on his face. He held the right hand of the Devil's Book and spread it out. There were countless sharp whistling and cries, and when the flipped pages stopped, a red light was shining on a piece of paper displayed in the book.
"Do you have the patience for this?"
