Chapter 108 The mastermind behind the scenes, the oath to fight to the death

The royal palace, the palace where ceremonies are held.

Under the witness of King Meredith and many ministers, Ron and Viscount Fast reached a truce agreement.

The two sides faced each other with swords, and put the two swords in the container at the same time. The steward then covered them with red cloth and took them away.

At this point, the two parties were officially 'reconciled'.

Viscount Fast was relieved. Before the ceremony was completed, he always felt uneasy in his heart, but now he is better.

From today on, the Fast family is the best ally of the Arnold family!

Thinking of the good days ahead, Viscount Fast put a smile on his face. As for the compensation...what compensation!

That's an investment!

Viscount Fast was very thoughtful. During the days he stayed in the royal capital, he was not idle. He participated in banquets on various occasions. There was no way, the nobles wanted to get information about Baron Arnold from him.

Although Viscount Fast didn't know much, he couldn't help but pretend to be pretentious, and used a little information that was of little use to get in touch with more nobles.

If there is a possibility of profiting from the other party, Viscount Fast will deepen the relationship with the other party.

This is the basic rule among nobles.

"Haha, Baron Arnold, now that the matter has been resolved, let's go back together later. I wonder if you would be honored to be a guest in my house."

Viscount Fast said to Ron in a very careful tone. Once the other party showed a hint of displeasure, he would plead guilty and leave.

Ron glanced at him lightly and said: "The matter is not over yet, go and watch."

Upon hearing this, Viscount Fast was stunned, and the rest of the people in the palace were also confused that Ron had not left.

At this moment, there was movement outside the hall, and a man walked in with a gloomy expression. Everyone recognized who this man was.

One of the ministers snorted coldly, "Count Eugene, you dare to come to such a solemn occasion even though you are disheveled. Can you afford to offend His Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, some people began to criticize Earl Eugene for his disrespectful behavior towards the royal family.

Earl Eugene's face was even more ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Ron in the field, looking like a cold poisonous snake that chose people to eat.

Ron was unmoved and even laughed a little.

As if he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, Earl Eugene turned to face the king and was about to speak out the words to declare war. Unexpectedly, Ron got there first. He held back the words as he spoke, feeling depressed.

"Your Majesty, I declare war on Earl Eugene in the name of Lord Arnold!" Ron's voice was sonorous and powerful, resounding throughout the hall.

In an instant, everyone fell silent, looking in disbelief.

Is Baron Arnold crazy?

Although Earl Eugene had just been defeated by Marquis Alfred, he was facing a Marquis, and the military strength of both territories was not comparable to that of a mere barony.

In their eyes, the Arnold Territory can easily defeat Viscount Fast, which is good. It has the strength of an average earl territory, but it is still far behind Earl Eugene, who can compete with the Marquis. .

At the bottom of the steps, Prime Minister Marquis Noches glanced at the king's expression, and then looked at Ron and Earl Eugene, with an expression of interest in his eyes.

As for Viscount Fast, he couldn't hide the look of shock on his face at this time. He only had one thought in his heart. It turned out that Baron Arnold had long known who was plotting against him!

Yes, the person who secretly planned the Arnold territory was Count Eugene, and it was his men who made Karl pretend to be the illegitimate son of the previous baron.

It was also his fault that he was ambushed by the Black Crow Organization, and he ordered Viscount Fast to invade his territory when monsters invaded his territory. Many things were secretly planned by Count Eugene.

Ron had already learned the answer from Vivian. To ensure that it was correct, he asked Thomas to investigate secretly. Although it was just some clues and sporadic information, there was no direct evidence, but the combination of the two was enough proof.

Count Eugene is the man behind the scenes!

But what followed was a doubt, what was Earl Eugene's purpose?

mine?

No, there is a mine in the Eugene territory. Rather than asking for the Arnold territory, it is more like targeting the Arnold family.

After speaking to the king, Ron turned and walked towards Earl Eugene, stopped three meters away, and said with a smile: "Earl, have you thought of the reason for the war?"

"snort!"

Earl Eugene snorted coldly. Since he was completely broken, there was no need to stop him.

He also wanted to understand that the things he did were very hidden and it was impossible to find clues, so Baron Arnold could only use this method to carry out 'revenge'. If this was the case, then he would not be afraid at all.

Baron Arnold, you never know what kind of enemy you are facing!

I will pay for the humiliation you have given me with your blood!

"Your Majesty, I formally declare war on Baron Arnold! Please promise."

Earl Eugene smoothed the pleats on his clothes and saluted King Meredith elegantly.

Compared to Ron's casualness, his behavior was more aristocratic. Earl Eugene secretly disdained Ron's actions, but he did not know the relationship between the Arnold family and the royal family.

Both families declared war on each other, and their determination was so strong that King Meredith could no longer persuade them and ordered the steward to immediately hold the ceremony of a battle of honor.

The ministers looked at each other in shock. Today was really an eye-opener. The armistice ceremony had just been held and a fight was about to start again. This kind of scene would not be seen for hundreds of years.

Witnessed by everyone, the two stood facing each other with swords raised. At the end of the ceremony, Ron suddenly exerted force, and the concussive power was transmitted through the sword in his hand. With a click, the sword in Earl Eugene's hand broke.

"This is an oath to fight to the death!"

Seeing this scene, some people exclaimed, the expressions on everyone's faces changed suddenly, and Count Eugene was stunned.

The oath of fighting to the death, as the name suggests, the two sides will fight to the death.

"What's the grudge between Baron Arnold and Count Eugene? They actually vowed to fight to the death. The last time this happened was twenty years ago." The ministers talked about it, looking very puzzled.

Ron raised his hand, and the steward approached with the utensil. He placed the sword on it, and then looked at the gloomy Earl Eugene across from him.

The reason why Earl Eugene was stunned was very simple. He also wanted to break Ron's sword and vow to fight to the death first. Unexpectedly, Ron took the lead.

He put the broken sword on the utensil with an expressionless expression, and the steward took it down. Every ceremony will be recorded and preserved in the royal family's information room. These swords will also not be used a second time.

In a strange atmosphere, a declaration of war ended.

On that day, the news that the Arnold Territory and the Eugene Territory were about to go to war spread very quickly. All circles among the nobles heard about it. Some people who didn't know about the Arnold Territory were still inquiring about the details, knowing that it was just a small barony. At that time, he also flattered Earl Eugene and belittled Arnold in front of others.

This phenomenon often occurs among low-level noble ladies. After all, Earl Eugene's daughter is now Prince Baird's lover.

The second prince's palace.

Baird also heard about the war between Earl Eugene and Arnold. Ron humiliated him at the palace ball, but he always remembered it in his heart. He also asked people to inquire about Baron Arnold, but the sent People either make mistakes and are removed from office, or they simply disappear.

It's really strange.

And this time was the best opportunity. Julie had come to him just now, with a sad expression and all kinds of complaints. He was not stupid. Julie was naturally instigated by Earl Eugene to help him, as a prince, support her.

Baird had other thoughts. Although he didn't want to make Baron Arnold feel better, he didn't want to spend his own money either.

So he decided to hold a banquet, invite the dignitaries to participate, and then talk about the matter at the right time, hinting that they wanted to support Earl Eugene. Presumably as a prince, those people would follow suit immediately, so that they would not have to spend the money themselves. Money makes Baron Arnold feel uncomfortable.

Soon, Baird ordered someone to release the news that a banquet was held in the palace, and the guests were all powerful nobles.

Just when Baird was about to express his intentions at the banquet, the first prince Felix appeared at an inappropriate time and pulled Baird away.

Side hall.

"Baird, stop messing around. The matter between Baron Arnold and Earl Eugene is not as simple as it seems. Don't get involved," Felix said.

"how do you know?"

Baird made a surprised sound, and then his face turned cold, "Humph, I don't want you to interfere with my affairs. Don't act like a crown prince."

Seeing his appearance, Felix looked helpless, "Don't worry about how I know it. In short, don't interfere. The banquet outside has been dispersed earlier."

He warned a few words, then turned around and left in a hurry, as if he was very busy.

Looking at Felix's leaving back, Baird sneered disdainfully, "I don't know who owns the final throne, yet you dare to take care of me."

He snorted and continued to participate in the banquet.

The king's palace.

After leaving Baird, Felix came here. He saluted and said, "Father, what you told us has been completed."

King Meredith raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "You seem to have gone to the second prince's palace."

Hearing this, Felix was shocked. This was not a big deal, but from the time he entered the second prince's palace to the time he came out, it only took ten minutes. In such a short time, his father actually knew!

Of course the king knew, not only that, he also knew what Felix said to Baird.

He was a little disappointed in his heart. Felix was still like this, soft-hearted and kind to everyone. The king didn't think any more and started talking about something else.

The two then talked about the two sides' vow to fight to the death. Most of the time, Felix spoke and the king listened.

Meredith suddenly interrupted Felix, "Baron Arnold is leaving in the afternoon, right?"

Felix was startled, then thought for a while and said, "Yes, the itinerary submitted below is like this. Is there any problem? Father."

"No, it's nothing, just keep going."

Felix didn't know why, and continued to talk about his own opinions. The king looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was very satisfied in his heart. It would be perfect if such an excellent successor could be as cruel as himself.

King Meredith thought.

——

After leaving the palace, Ron and his party did not leave immediately. He went to meet his old friend in the royal capital, the owner of the hotel, Reagan.

"You want me to open a shop in your territory? There are no doors. Your small place won't have as many customers as the royal capital. I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the rent."

After hearing Ron's invitation to open a hotel in Arnold Territory, Reagan waved his hands repeatedly and said it was impossible.

Ron chuckled, "What is a small place? You go and ask outside. Arnold Territory is not what it used to be. If you agree now, I can also decide to give you a shop, otherwise you will not have this good opportunity. "

People who knew Reagan tried to persuade him and told him about Jeff, but Reagan did not waver at all.

Suddenly, Ron said suspiciously: "Are you afraid of that thing in the Black Valley Forest?"

Hearing this, Reagan froze. It was obvious that Ron had guessed correctly.

"Have you seen it?" Reagan looked shocked and very nervous.

"No, but there was a wave of monsters, which should be related to what you said." Ron said.

"Is your territory okay?"

Regan quickly asked, the monster tide is no joke. Many kingdoms have been destroyed by the monster tide in history.

"Of course it's okay. One last question for you, do you want to come with me or not?" Ron extended the invitation again in a private way.

Reagan also knew Ron's good intentions, and the Arnold territory must be as prosperous as he said, but he was now useless, and it was enough to open a small hotel in the royal capital.

After a while, Ron walked out of the hotel. Without looking back, he got into the carriage and the group of people disappeared at the end of the road.

Reagan sat in the shop, watching the carriage disappear from a distance, then stood up and closed the hotel door.

On the other side, when the carriage passed an intersection, a shadow appeared quietly and was intercepted by Cliff. He was most familiar with shadows and had discovered this person early in the morning.

"Cliff stop."

Sig spoke up, then looked at the man who suddenly appeared, "Are you Mr. Clow?"

Kuro, who had previously solved a major slave case with the help of a second-level professional, nodded, revealed his identity, and said in the direction of the carriage in a hoarse voice: "Lord Baron, there was an ambush on your way back. It’s thirty kilometers away and the number of people is seventy, so please be careful.”

After Qrow finished speaking, he dived into the darkness and disappeared.

Victor looked at Sig and asked, "Is what he said credible?"

In the scene just now, it was obvious that Sig knew someone, so he asked this question. Just as Sig was about to speak, Ron's voice came from the carriage, "Go handle it alone."

With these words, everyone no longer doubted whether it was the enemy's plan, and Victor should go ahead to deal with the ambushed assassin.

As for why Ron believed what Kuro said, the reason was simple, because Kuro was a member of Thomas' intelligence organization.

In that intelligence list, Kuro's name was the first.

At the beginning of establishing the intelligence organization, Thomas immediately remembered the outstanding ability of Cullo, and he left a very deep impression.

Of course, as an adventurer, Kuro would not work in vain, and the reward was very simple - a blue quality dagger.

The moment he got the dagger, Kuro sold himself.

He swore that he would not be able to find another dagger like this in the entire royal capital, so he directly agreed to Thomas' request without any hesitation.

Due to Kuro's reminder, Victor dealt with the ambush of 70 people and continued to open the way ahead to deal with the enemies in the dark. Only then could the carriage return to the territory safely.

At the same time, he also brought back a message to the people in the territory - another war was about to begin.
