As Baron Tyre said, 'Who else can there be in that vicinity but him?' In the same way, Dean never suspected anyone else—

First of all, ordinary merchant opponents don't dare to compete with a businessman with an aristocratic background like Lao Ande, let alone intercept and kill.

Secondly, old Ander was a very steady man, and the caravan had not only men, but also guards, which Dean had observed, though not the best, but also better than the average man, and had no problem dealing with bandits scattered within a few collars.

Finally, and most importantly.

Those barbarians who accompanied them, since they were sent out to protect 'their own grain', their strength was definitely not weak.

With guards and barbarians on their side, such a team would be fine unless it encountered a few huge bandits deep in the snowy forest.

So, apart from the Baron de Fendi, Dean couldn't think of a second suspect.

What's more, the contradiction between the other party and Baron Tyre, as well as the malice towards him, made this suspicion even more confirmed!

"Delfendi, you must be very proud now, then...... You'll be complacent for a moment, after all, it's your last time! Dean had the final decision in his heart, and then, he looked at Baron Tyre and said, "Lord Baron, I'll leave this to you first, I need to deal with the affairs of the barbarians, as well as the casualty list of those caravan guys and guards, please help me count them!" ”

"I'll leave it to me!"

Baron Tyre assured.

Dean nodded, turned and left the house, out of Tyre. Go straight to the station of your own knights.

"Silen and Chard, you two come with me! Ike, Mach. You stay and help Huck manage ......"

Dean entered the Knights. It was quickly arranged; And when he saw Fuxia coming out, Dean said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Fucia, something happened that I didn't expect, and your class may be delayed for a few days; However, I will pay the salary! ”

Fusia nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned back to her room.

And in Dean left the Knights' station. As we marched towards the camp of the Cloth Guard, the White Rose followed.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

The Grand Duke's swordsman, who was walking alongside Dean, asked.

"The caravan in my shop has been attacked, with many casualties, including barbarians—I need to get rid of it before it gets any worse!"

Dean said truthfully.

After all, such a thing is difficult to hide from someone with a heart; Even, Dean went to Bu Gong's stockade non-stop to inform Bu Gong of the news one step in advance.

Proactive notification, passive notification.

These are definitely two different concepts. Dean naturally knows the difference.

"You look like you know who the killer is?"

The Grand Duke's swordsman turned his head to look at Dean with a cold side face at the moment, and the form of the sentence was questioning. But there was an affirmation in the tone.

"Well, the Baron de Fendi!"

Dean nodded, still not hiding.

This kind of thing that is almost known to everyone naturally does not need to be hidden.

"So, what are you going to do?"

The Grand Duke's swordsmanship was fast, blocking in front of Dean and asking very solemnly.

"I'm on my way to the barbarian camp right now, isn't that obvious enough?"

Dean looked at the other and replied.

"Dean, you can't do that...... This will completely ruin the reputation you have built up - the emerald nobles cannot accept a Emerald man who is close to the barbarians, even if he has great potential; So, now you have to go back! ”

The Grand Duke's swordsmanship advised Dean directly.

"Go back? Then, waiting for the barbarians to come up to the Menxing Master to ask for sin? Isn't this an insult to my reputation? ”

With a chuckle, Dean asked rhetorically.

"At least, it's better than if you took the initiative to go - did you think that when the barbarians got such news, with their character and tradition, it would certainly be a bloody war, and whether you took the initiative to inform them, or they learned afterwards, such a war would not have been avoided! And you now have the opportunity to choose to defend your honor with your sword in battle...... At the very least, you're innocent, and this looting isn't what you want to see! ”

"What about Fendi? What about this guy who provoked a qiē? ”

With a slightly questioning tone, Dean looked at the Grand Duke's swordsmanship.

"In this matter, the Great Guild personally intervened! Go back, Dean! ”

The Grand Duke's swordsman, assured Dean and persuaded him again.

"I trust you, and I trust the Grand Duke, but the thought of me being in the same side as someone like Defendi in the face of a barbarian who asks for guilt makes me feel that I have given up not only my honor, but also my dignity...... Forgive me for not agreeing, I have to go to the barbarian camp, because, if I take the initiative to go, there is still a slight chance that this war will not break out, and if I don't go, this war will definitely break out! ”

After saying that, Dean bowed slightly to the Grand Duke's swordsmanship, and then, with his two subordinates, bypassed the Grand Duke's swordsmanship, and walked quickly.

Seeing Dean striding forward, the Grand Duke's swordsman not only shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his lips, but the next moment he still followed-even if Dean didn't listen to her persuasion, but that didn't mean she could give up Dean's comfort.

Dean looked at the 'White Rose' who was walking side by side with him again, and didn't say much.

For this well-intentioned Grand Duke swordsman, Dean naturally can't be disgusted, just because, at this moment, Dean's heart is running rapidly-

Just as the Grand Duke swordsmanship said.

According to the character and tradition of the barbarians, upon learning of such a thing, a 'war' will break out nine times out of ten - they need to search for the murderer, but whether it is the Tyr or the Jan. It is impossible for a Fendi Nation to allow a large number of barbarians to enter its territory.

And this is in the eyes of the barbarians, it is the expression of the weakness of the heart. It must be thought that these three nobles are ghosts. Therefore, it will only exacerbate the contradictions.

With that, more barbarians will appear, and the Marquis de Vauban will not be able to sit idly by.

When more and more people on both sides gather, all it takes is a small spark to detonate this 'war'!

And whether the Emerald side is victorious, or defeated, he. Dean. The head of the Kenda Charlen Knights, the new lords, will be spurned.

Even if he had performed a remarkable feat in the war, it would have been thought that it was a premeditated trap set for the promotion of the rank of knight - the Baron de Fendi would never be stingy in spreading such rumors, and those who had lost their homes and relatives in the war would definitely listen to such rumors.

In the previous life, Dean, who had experienced the war, was very aware of such a method - although the object of controversy last time was the Emerald Grand Duke. And not him.

As for failure?

That Dean is even more unsurvivable, even if the private relationship is good. He will also be sent to the barbarians as a scapegoat by the Marquis de Vauban to appease the anger of the barbarians.

And this was undoubtedly what the Baron de Fendi was more than happy to see.

As for its own losses?

Undoubtedly, Baron de Fendi simply gave up.

Or rather, it is precisely because of this abandonment that Dean is caught in such a dilemma-

"When the other party ignores his identity, territory, and is even willing to gamble on these, just a simple attack makes himself clumsy...... Moreover, the other party naturally considered that I would take the risk to arrest him, the murderer, so I would definitely be prepared - if I went, I would definitely be charged with a bigger crime, and I would become doomed directly in Jade! ”

When he understood the other party's 'bottom line', some unreasonable explanations were naturally reasonable, and even, some of the other party's follow-up arrangements, Dean also saw it clearly.

Obviously, though, it's a little late!

The other party has already started to act!

As for anticipating in advance?

Dean had never thought of such a thing - a nobleman would be willing to give up his territory?

In fact, most of the nobles who surrendered in the previous life were not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also to hold on to the territory left by their ancestors.

'Those who surrender, the title will not change, the territory will not change!' ’

The conditions given by Seti were not unfavorable at the time.

"It's a step too late, you have to catch up, or you're ......"

Dean thought of the 'Blood Moon War' again!

If war breaks out with the barbarians here in Vaubon, even in the winter when it is not suitable for troops, Seti will probably send troops.

At that time, the 'Blood Moon War' will undoubtedly be advanced.

And the Emerald may face an even more dangerous situation - because, in addition to Siti, there are also barbarians who are supposed to be allies, and even the Seandre Fortress, which was held by the Emerald in the previous life, has not been completed in the real sense!

Dean would never allow such a situation to arise.

With a clenched fist, Dean's steps became even faster.

The Grand Duke's swordsman sighed again and followed.

Behind Dean, Silenchard followed without saying a word—although the two young men didn't understand most of the things, but according to the tone of their leader, they obviously guessed the severity of the situation.

Along the way, the four of them walked forward almost without saying a word.

The stockade, which had taken almost a day to feel on horseback riding, had already appeared there when the sun went down; Of course, in the second half, it was almost Dean and the Grand Duke's swordsmanship, one of them leading one forward.

For this, Siren and Chad blushed.

Especially Siren, who thought he should be strong, lowered his head and was embarrassed to speak.

Dean tapped the shoulders of the two subordinates, comforting each other in the simplest of ways, and walked briskly towards the stockade, where more important things awaited him.
