"Count Thomas, my lord wants to see you."

The short sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, which made Count Thomas feel indescribable shock, fear, and fear, and the whole person seemed to be driven into a bottomless abyss, surrounded by groups of demons.

I thought they had raided someone's backyard, but I didn't think it was a bird-catching net set up by someone.

Catching chickens was not the opposite, but they were caught, and they happily thought that they had seized a god-given opportunity, which was really ironic to say.

This 'old neighbor' had already come back early, and he didn't show up yet, wasn't he just waiting for them stupid thieves to enter the house......

"Alas~ let's go." Count Thomas, who was also a man of understanding, knew that there was no point in pestling or making a fuss here, nodded at the young general, and then followed. Since this old neighbor is willing to see him, it proves that he is still valuable, and if he is valuable, he will increase this value, and maybe he will be able to pick up a life.

Duru shook his head slightly at his subordinate, who understood, and led a tall horse, "Please, Count Thomas." ”

Turning over and getting on the horse, under the moonlight, on the bluestone road, the horse's hooves were crunching, the dull atmosphere, and the uneasy mood, Count Thomas really didn't expect that the Yuki Ling, who was despised by everyone at the beginning, would become everyone's henchman at this moment. But, who would have thought that a down-and-out beggar could turn into a dragon through the storm?

The soldiers of the Pit Viper Legion stood proudly on both sides, and in the middle of the tent, a man in a lilac robe was boiling tea, and the snow in the sky was gently falling at this moment, like an oil painting.

"I didn't expect it to be as young as rumored, the Abraham family really has a good successor." Count Thomas couldn't help but sigh in his heart, straightened his robe a little, took a few deep breaths, and stepped forward with steady steps. Turning a blind eye to the momentum of the soldiers on both sides, he is also a guy who has experienced killing, so naturally he will not be shocked so easily.

"Marquis Raphael?" Count Thomas had a slightly questioning tone, but he was already a little sure in his heart.

"Count Thomas, you don't need to bring so many soldiers with you to visit my territory, do you? I can't stand this pomp. Raphael poured the tea into his cup, sniffed it, and then put it down, looking at Count Thomas.

"......" Count Thomas heard the other party's sarcastic words, and for a moment did not know how to react. There are many thoughts in my mind, and I don't know what the other party wants to do with him at the beginning of such words.

took a sip of the tea in front of him and snorted lightly, "Tell me, who is behind the scenes this time?" ”

"It's Archduke Louis Perchens." Count Thomas knew that at this moment, it was pointless to pretend to be a loyal and brave man, and he might become a dead corpse if he was not careful. Dead friends don't die in the poor way, a piece of information in exchange for a little more life, no loss, it's worth it.

Archduke Louis Perchens, when he heard the name. Raphael grabbed the teacup's hand for a moment, and it seemed that the other party was doubting himself. No matter how deeply you hide it, there will still be a flaw in the eyes of this kind of person. And such a flaw is enough for the other party to point the finger at himself.

However, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip. If he were in Bloomerta, he might have felt a little threatened. But now that he is back at sea, it is not so easy for Archduke Louis Perchens to come to trouble him, and as for Dalena, there will be no big problem with Diego Maradona's care.

But he also knew that Archduke Louis Perchens was a sanctimonious old man on the surface, but on the inside he was an out-and-out conspirator, and he would certainly not fight a battle without any chance of winning. If the other party dares to make a killer, then there will inevitably be something to rely on.

"Do you think you're enough to crush me Raphael Abraham? Tell me, what is his hind hand. Raphael was very disdainful on the surface, but he was already a little more vigilant in his heart. But now there is also a benefit, the enemy is in the open and he is in the dark. He can have mental calculations or not, and maybe he can wipe out this killing situation.

"The emissary of the Grand Duke Louis Pöshings has said that there will be special personnel to deal with you. We only need to capture the hill and the Yuki collar. "Count Thomas was not displeased by Raphael's verbal contempt, and wasn't that proof that being someone else's prisoner?

"Huh? Dedicated personnel? Know who there is? Raphael's brows furrowed slightly, and he really had a killing move against himself, and his heart was vigilant.

"I don't know about that, the messenger didn't say much about it." Count Thomas shook his head, though he wanted to say that he knew it to show his worth, but they really didn't know it.

Seeing that he really didn't look like he was hiding it, Raphael asked another question, "As the vanguard, how much time do you have for the follow-up troops?" ”

"It's almost a day and a half away, but the messenger has brought with him an army of considerable strength, which looks like the regular army of the Empire." In order to increase his bargaining chips for survival, Count Thomas hurriedly told everything he knew.

Without waiting for Raphael to reply,

"Flutter! Fluttering! ”

In the air, a wind-defying red falcon flew from the distant sky towards Raphael's location in an instant. The Red-billed Eagle is now used for civilian mail delivery, and the Red Falcon replaces the Red-headed Eagle's original job.

This is a magical beast that Luther Dew found in a mountain cliff outside the mountain territory, and with his own talent and the bonus of the profession of magical beast trainer, he captured this speed-type magical beast that is extremely fast and difficult to catch by conventional means.

"Six people." This is a letter from the city of Bartholomew, and there is not much on it. After a brief description of how smoothly their takeover of Bartholomew City was, with warrants from the Imperial Inspectorate, the nobles could only sigh and surrender everything they had.

Parker Dew didn't leave them with any affection, and the explosions and smoke in the aristocratic area didn't seem to have dissipated, and they didn't dare to resist at all. The tide is over, and the moment Earl Els dies, their end is already fixed.

And the so-called six adults did not make a move in the end, so these nobles poured out all the information they knew without reservation.

Who will these six people be? Archduke Louis Perchens' subordinate Raphael didn't know much about it, and a conspirator wouldn't easily expose his cards. Once exposed, it's definitely not a trivial hand.

Raphael pondered quietly, but Count Thomas seemed a little anxious. After asking, what is your fate? But he didn't dare to disturb the person in front of him now, for fear that the other party would be unhappy, so he killed him.

"These six men must have left Bartholomew at the moment of the death of the Earl of Els, and it will take some time for them to arrive. I've got enough time to buffer and see if I can defeat this bullshit coalition first. Then free hands to solve these troubles. ”

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step. Nothing should be rushed, just as Raphael was thinking like this, another red falcon broke through the air, "There are really a lot of letters tonight." As he spoke, he took out another letter from the baggage on one side.

"Black Panther, through the heart, pitch black swordsman? Could it be him? I really didn't expect Grand Duke Louis Perchens to be so murderous to me that he even sent such a person. Raphael really restrained his somewhat mocking thoughts at this moment, if it was him, then he would really have to raise the spirit of twelve points to deal with it.

Da Lisandro the Mind Eater, a sharp swordsman and a cold-blooded butcher, has been rewarded with a head in many killer organizations, reaching a million gold soles at the highest point, but none of the assassins who have been removed from the list have ever returned. Everyone he killed had the same trait, the loss of a heart.

It was the first time that Raphael knew that D'Astrandro had such a relationship with Grand Duke Luis Perchens, and that the card was indeed huge. However, at the same point, the other party could not come so quickly, and the Amiso Mountain Road was cut off, and even if it was diverted to the nearest Romilin Road, it would take at least two more days, which also took into account that the other party was transporting grain.

"Time." Raphael whispered such a word, which made the Count of Thomas on the side feel excited, and took out the pocket watch on his chest, "It's twelve forty-five." ”

"......" When Raphael heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, this guy really has the talent to be a comedian. Thinking about it like this, it slightly dispelled the boredom that was suppressed in my heart.

Seeing Raphael's smile, Count Thomas hurriedly smiled.

"You, I can retain ownership of your manor without depriving your family of glory. But because of your attack, I, as the victor, have the right to occupy your territory. Do you have any comments? Raphael had planned to kill him when he ran out, but his amusement just now made him less murderous.

Besides, these guys are all model nobles who come to send money, equipment, and territory, and it is not impossible to spare their lives. Count Thomas never knew that it was because of such a small act that he had inadvertently pulled himself back from the line of death, and when he heard Raphael's request, although his heart was dripping blood, he understood a truth better, and he didn't have to worry about running out of firewood.

As long as the manor is there, the family glory will not be deprived. Then he still has the opportunity to seek a new territory, if people die here and the glory of the family is deprived, then everything is really over. Losing nobility is definitely a purgatory-level challenge if you want to regain it.

"No comments, thank you for your generosity, Marquis Raphael." Count Thomas hurriedly bowed his head and saluted respectfully.

……

The noon winter day shines on people's bodies, just like a mother covers you with a fluffy quilt, and softly sings a light lullaby, making you want to sleep comfortably. It's not destined to be a nap day, though. Under the city wall, the swallowtail flags fluttered in the cold wind, standing clearly under the city wall.

Several middle-aged men in exquisite armor stood at the front of the line, and they discussed a little nervously, "Count Thomas won't be killed by the other party, right?" ”

There was not much difference in strength between their several domains, and if Count Thomas had been killed so easily, they would not have fared much better.

"It shouldn't be, it's an army of more than 3,000 people, and there are such powerful demonic beasts in charge......"

"Or else? Not even a single army was to be seen, either destroyed or he had successfully occupied the wall. ”

As soon as this idea was spoken, everyone couldn't hold back, swept away the previous nervousness, and became eager.

"These 'lion kings' aren't so weak, are they?"

"That's hard to say, don't forget. The weapons and equipment in our hands now are different from those of the past, and maybe they will really make Count Thomas eat a lot! ”

"You see, isn't that Count Thomas? Tsk, nothing is different from this guy. I knew that I was going to fight for the title of this advance team at the beginning. ”

Seeing that the Count of Thomas was wearing a robe made of gold thread, with jewels and diamond rings in his hands, riding on a horse with an unusual horse, and looking like a proud horse's hoof, these nobles all looked at him with envy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you're a little late." I saw Count Thomas raise his right hand, which was full of jewels and diamond rings, very coquettishly, and said with a smile on his face, not showing that he had been robbed of his territory.

Because Raphael said that if he could trick everyone in, he could give him a piece of territory to develop again. Although this is inevitably limited by Raphael, I finally have a thought. Besides, since he wants to survive under Raphael's rule in the future, there is nothing wrong with currying favor in advance.

Hard-working performances, excellent acting skills, and generous investment. As soon as these three points came out, the lords present looked at him with envy.

"Count Thomas is really a good means to kick this barricade away in a short period of time." A fat man who looked kind and full of air complimented him.

"Well said, well said. If it weren't for the fact that there was someone behind Baron Morris, I would have wanted a piece of the pie a long time ago, how could I not seize this opportunity now? However, I also understand that a group of people can only be lively when they eat, so I hurried back to greet you. ”

The implication is to tell these people that he doesn't have the idea of monopolizing. Let all the lords cast a kind gaze on him.
