Lord of War

Chapter 90: .Hongmen Banquet



  Three days is not too long, but not too short.

  This time, Cecilia proposed after referring to the distance from Royce Manor to Tindesburg. According to this point of view, if Earl Mario wants to make it in time, then he must do it immediately after receiving the invitation letter. The letter stated that Count Mario was allowed to bring Martin and Mudds and a group of knights, but it did not make it clear whether Count Mario was allowed to bring the guards.

  And this can be regarded as a key factor that can be used by Du Luen.

  If Earl Mario arrives on time, then even if he brings the guards, it doesn’t matter if they enter the castle, because the recruits trained by Old Peter are not really vegetarian. And if Earl Mario wants to show off his prestige and deliberately delays his arrival, then Du Luen, as the heir to the quasi-lord, naturally has the right to order Earl Mario to keep the guards in the castle.

  No matter from which aspect, Du Luen naturally occupies a huge geographical advantage.

  As for harmony, it is something both sides have. And Tianshi obviously doesn't have a place to play.

  This so-called banquet invitation, from the very beginning, did not intend to allow Earl Mario and his private army to go back alive. Since it is already a battle where only one person can survive in the end, it is natural to do everything, and Du Luen’s advantage is that in addition to the location, they all know that this is a target. Mario's killing game, but Mario didn't know it was a killing game against him.

  In his opinion, Du Luen, a nephew, would bow his head to himself after all.

  Hundreds of black armored cavalry, led by ten knights respectively, formed an environmental guard formation, and the leader of the formation was the heavy armored knight Martin. His childhood was not easy. He was always hungry and cold. He lived without a meal until he met Earl Mario. Since then, his life trajectory has changed. If Earl Mario loses power, he will If it causes everyone to betray their relatives, then Martin will never betray Mario.

  In a way, the heavy armored knight Martin is indeed a very loyal knight.

  In the center of the Sanitation Array, there is a luxurious carriage.

  All the knights around exist to protect this carriage. There is no doubt that the person sitting in the carriage at this time is naturally Earl Mario and his staff, the magician from the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, Mudds.

"It seems that my nephew has surrendered." Mario squeezed the extremely exquisite and luxurious letter in his hand, with a very proud expression on his face. "If you can become a lord in this way, it will be the same for the territory. A good thing, at least civil strife was avoided."

  A gleam of haze flashed through Mudds’s eyes, but he was very well hidden, so he was not seen by Mario. 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 Earl Mario becomes the lord, it will benefit them a little bit more, but If Du Luen finally becomes the lord, their loss is actually not great.

  Because what they really want is a territory in chaos.

However, not long ago, he had just received a secret report from the Medusa Chamber of Commerce. Tindes led an underground passage stronghold and was destroyed. He also brought the Crypt Ice Spider that the Medusa Chamber of Commerce had worked so hard to get. The eggs have completely disappeared. Judging from the situation in the crypt, it seems that a mercenary found this place, but a large-scale civil unrest occurred because there were a lot of mercenary corpses in the crypt.

  As a result, the Medusa Chamber of Commerce is unable to find useful clues, and recently there has been no news of anyone preparing to sell these spider eggs.

  Actually, after receiving the news, Mulders checked the location of the accident. He was a little suspicious of Sean, because Sean happened to be nearby at that time. However, although he was interested in asking Sean, there was no news about him for so many days. The most recent news was three days ago that Sean took Cecilia and another named Alfred. The Germans entered the city of Anrolla, and then they completely lost track.

   "No news about Sean yet?" Mario gently dropped the letter in his hand and suddenly asked.

Mudds was suddenly awakened, knowing that this is not an opportunity for daze and thinking, and respectfully said: "Yes, there is no news about him for the time being. But... I have already sent people to the Starfall Forest and several borders. Keep guarding, as long as the news of Sean is found, it will be returned immediately. At present, there is no return in these places, which proves that the other party should be still in the territory of Tindes, and it may even be in the city of Anrolla."

  Mario nodded: "Continue to stare at this matter, and wait until I become the lord to deal with it.... But when the time comes, there is not much urgent need, anyway, there are not many of them, and there are not many of them."

  Mudes nodded slightly, without saying anything.

  In the carriage, it soon fell silent, only the sound of the carriage turning around.

  Earl Mario, this time it is truly coming out. And this team did not enter the city of Anrolla, and when it was out in the suburbs, it turned and drove directly to Tindessburg, which happened to enter the castle just before the start of the dinner. For this, the old Peter, who was in charge of the command of the castle guard, did not prevent the entry of the soldiers of Earl Mario, but when he saw the attire of these soldiers, his pupils contracted obviously.

  These equipment is obviously much better than them, and judging from the aura of the opponent, it is obviously an army that has truly experienced battle and killing, far beyond the comparison of these recruits led by Old Peter. In this way, although it still occupies the advantage of geographical advantage, the number of people is nearly double that of the opponent, but if it is really difficult to get any benefits, maybe the casualties will be very heavy.

  However, he did not express these worries. Instead, he did his best to arrange the accommodation of these guards. Even if these people are going to become dead soon, Mario shouldn’t be suspicious in this regard. Of course, Old Peter actually has the idea of ​​including them. If they can really make these people their own, for Tingde Sling's military strength must have grown a lot, and he can see that many of these people are veterans in the castle.

  As for the other ten knights, it is of course impossible to stay here. They all have other accommodations.

Although the old Peter is not good at handling these tasks, his unique aura with military characteristics is indeed easy to arouse the goodwill of Mario and others, even Mario has some included old Peter. Thoughts. Of course, another reason that makes these people so relaxed is that, in their opinion, Mario will soon become the lord of the Timbers, the kid Du Luen has obviously given up, and maybe Old Peter will soon 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 is Du Luen?" Mario glanced around, already starting to claim to be a real lord.

"Master Viscount is waiting for you in the restaurant." Old Peter lowered his head, showing a humble appearance, "Master Viscount has already ordered, I invite Master Earl to go alone. The dining place for the others will be in the side hall next door. ."

   "I will serve the adults." Before Mario could speak, Martin had already spoken first.

  His expression is solemn, obviously this is not a word of loyalty, but he really intends to do so. Even if Du Luen and Old Peter disagree, Martin will not leave. In his opinion, the lord of Tindes will soon be replaced by Mario. At this time, it doesn't matter if Du Luen is more aggressive and offends Du Luen.

  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 seemed to have no difficulty at all: "Viscount Du Luen has expected that His Excellency Martin will definitely go with him, so Viscount Du Luen has no objection, but he said that you can only stand and not eat."

   After that, he ignored the faces of Martin and Mario and turned to lead the way.

   Soon, Mario and others were led outside the restaurant. But Old Peter didn't enter. 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 eat in the side hall at this time. He chose to leave on the grounds that other soldiers still needed arrangements.

  In the restaurant, Du Luen did not sit in the main seat, but in the first position on the right hand side of the main seat, which was his previous position.

  Mario glanced at the main seat, but instead of sitting on the main seat, he sat in the first position on the left hand side, sitting against the table with Du Luen. However, when he saw a person standing behind Du Luen, his pupils contracted slightly, because in his intelligence system, there was no information about the masked person, but the other person was revealed. On the contrary, his aura is not so strong, so his mood is slightly relaxed.

  And Martin, all his mind fell on the masked man standing behind Du Luen.

  After seeing Mario seated, Du Luen patted his hand gently, and soon began to have servants put all kinds of dishes on the table. During the meal, neither Du Luen nor Mario spoke, but ate very quietly. If the atmosphere was not really stagnant and low, it was a bit terrifying, the picture in front of them really seemed very warm.

  The menu is prepared according to the specifications of the formal banquet. From appetizers, appetizers, staples, and side dishes, only one portion was served when the last dessert was served, and the lid of the meal was not opened. This made the Count Malayo curious. .

   "Uncle, I have taken care of you for so many years." Du Luen wiped his mouth with a napkin, then smiled.

  With Du Luen’s words, the atmosphere in the restaurant eased a bit, and Mario knew that the show had finally begun.

"Actually, if uncle really wants the position of lord, just talk to his nephew." Du Luen didn't seem to let Mario talk about it. Instead, he continued to speak on his own, which made Mario. He raised his brows slightly, "Even if it is the will of your father, it is not without the opportunity to change."

   "What do you want to say?"

  Du Luen raised his head and glanced at Mario, then lifted the lid of the meal, and what was in it was not dessert at all, but a dagger! Mario looked up at Du Luen with a surprised look, but saw a trace of resentment in his eyes: "You shouldn't poison my father.... That's your brother!"

  ……

  On the other side, the carriage that Mario rode in has been pulled to the stables in the castle.

   Xiao En, who has been waiting here, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the luxurious carriage, and chuckled: "Your Excellency Mudds, how long do you plan to hide in it?"

  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 skill was completely lacking in the kind of weakness that is unique to a magician. After getting out of the car, Mudds didn't have a hint of surprise on his face. Instead, he stared at Sean calmly, and then said, "I really made a mistake."

   "Oh?" Xiao En raised his eyebrows with interest, "What's wrong?"

"You shouldn't be underestimated." Mudds said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to have been on Du Luen's side a long time ago. From this point of view, help the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce regain the square spinel, thus making the Medusa Chamber of Commerce You can't continue to support Earl Mario, did you do it?"

   "That was an accident." Sean shrugged, "Who makes you Medusa Chamber of Commerce not have what I want."

   "So what happened in the crypt tunnel?"

"That's really another accident." Xiao En 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 intervened in this matter. "

   "I really want to know, what's the accident?"

"I didn't want to participate in the battle for inheritance between Mario and Du Luen. 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 more. Ling Ran's momentum, "But it's a pity that the Medusa Chamber of Commerce wants to kill me, and you are so close to Mario, so I can only stand on Du Luen's side. I don't want to be worried by a lord."

   "Then if I say, this is actually an accident, do you believe it?"

   "The two things I said before were accidents, do you believe it again?"

   "It seems that we have nothing to say." Mudds shook his head, "Then what are you going to do now?"

   "Kill you." A smile appeared on Sean's face, and the killing intent suddenly burst out and approached Mudds.

It's just that Mudds seems to be completely unresponsive. His face also shows a chuckle. With his right hand holding the Book of Devil, he spreads the book with a black cover, and the book with its black cover is automatically opened, and the pages of the book are flipped frantically. There were countless sharp whistling and crying sounds, and when the flipped pages stopped, a piece of paper displayed in the book was shining with red light.

  "Do you have this ability?"
