Chapter 231 229: Leak (Please subscribe, please vote)

Temporary command center!

Roy sat in the first seat, followed by a group of knight leaders, including Vincent Ackerman, Cody Isaac, and Alan Wells.

But Oliveira did not show up!

Luo Yi opened the parchment in his hand, and several question marks popped up on his forehead.

He thought about it and handed it to Vincent Ackerman next to him.

The three of them took turns reading the content, and were all somewhat puzzled.

Alan Wells spoke directly: "In theory, shouldn't the Wick family try their best to break through Frost Moon Canyon before our main force arrives?

If we fail to take this place, the subsequent war will have to be carried out by the Wick family.

It is now the autumn harvest season, and the grain harvest in Earl Wick's territory should be good.

If we start a fight there, the damage will be immeasurable!"

Vincent Ackerman thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the Wick family's troops haven't gathered yet?

It's true that he initiated this noble war, but Earl Wick definitely doesn't have only three extraordinary people!"

"So, Earl Wick, knowing full well that he can't win at this stage, is just calling a truce and waiting for his knights to gather before engaging in another battle?"

Cody Isaac nodded in agreement: “I think this is very likely!

However, we cannot rule out the possibility that they have other plans?"

Luo Yi's brows relaxed and he said, "What's the point of guessing? Just ask!

Bring in that Knight Daisy Wake, and let us meet her!"

Alan Wells responded and walked out immediately.

A few minutes later, a heroic female knight walked in. She was wearing specially made knight plate armor, showing off her graceful curves.

It is big where it should be big, and thin where it should be thin, and with its slim figure, it is really an eye-catching sight.

The attention of the crowd did not have much impact on Daisy Wick, as she was used to being the center of attention.

At this time, she also raised her head and looked at Luo Yi with a somewhat strange expression.

As she approached, she also performed a knight's salute, pounded her chest with her right fist, and rang out in a clear voice: "Daisy Wick, greetings to the Earl!"

Luo Yi nodded slowly, raised the parchment scroll in his hand, and said, "Knight Daisy, can you explain the reason to me?"

Daisy said: "It's simple, my grandpa is sick!

Yesterday, after a defeat on the battlefield, my grandfather was so angry that he vomited blood and collapsed. Although a pastor tried to save him, he is still recovering.

“Besides that, it will take time for my Wick family to mobilize its troops.

On your side, Lord Earl, the main force hasn't arrived yet either, so why don't both sides sign a truce and rest for a while? This way, you can be less wary and get a good night's sleep."

"What's the exact time?"

"For ten days, no matter how long or short, we are not allowed to attack each other. Is that okay?"

Luo Yi tilted his head slightly and said, "Ten days is a bit short, let's say fifteen days!

In fifteen days, I will bring the Knights to your Wick family's territory. Then, we can have a knightly battle, okay?"

Daisy Wick agreed readily: "Okay!"

"You can decide?"

"My last name is Wick, and I'm the first heir of the Wick family!"

"In that case, it's settled. I'll send someone to take you away."

"etc!"

Daisy Wick interrupted quickly and said, "Now that we have finished our official business, I still have some personal matters I want to discuss with the Earl.

I don’t know, can you please let the others go out first?”

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Vincent and the other two, and said, "You guys go down first."

Vincent Ackerman and the other two hesitated for only a moment before bowing and leaving.

There was no way. Roy's fighting ability was obvious to all. No matter how capable Daisy Wick was, she couldn't hurt him.

Therefore, there is no need to consider safety issues.

Apart from the security issue, if the two wanted to have a private conversation, their presence would naturally be inappropriate.

As the three people walked away, before Luo Yi could speak, Daisy Wick took out another magic scroll and put it in her hand.

She only said, "I heard that the Earl is also a magic spearman. Activating a silent scroll shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble?"

"My grandpa said, be careful and you will be safe!"

Having said that, Daisy Wick took a few steps forward and handed over the magic scroll.

However, Luo Yi did not take it. Instead, he took out his dimensional bag, rummaged through it for a while, and found a magic scroll.

Expand, activate, shred...

Then, a silent force field was generated and spread outward, enveloping the two of them.

After doing all this, Luo Yi asked again: "Now, is it okay?"

“Okay!”

Daisy Wick seemed to have taken off her disguise and was no longer tense. She looked around and actually dragged a chair over and sat down opposite Roy.

At this moment, she opened her mouth and broke the news: "My grandfather's illness is fake!"

“Although he lost miserably yesterday, he’s lived long enough to survive in the cracks, so it’s not that bad!

He was playing into this yesterday, planning to rest for a few days on the pretext of injury!"

Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "It's not good for you to reveal the news like this, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, because my grandfather told me to say it."

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something: "Wait, your grandfather, Earl Wick, is going to put on this drama in his own military camp?

Could it be that someone forced him?

Or even, that person is in your military camp?"

“No one can make Earl Wick so fearful. The superior noble family of your Wick family is the Carlisle family.

So, the Marquis of Carlisle is in the camp?"

At this moment, Daisy Wick's face looked like she had seen a ghost. She stared at Roy with wide eyes and stuttered.

"You, you, you, this, this, this, can you guess it?"

"Do you also have a magic eye sorcerer and a magic mirror that can monitor my every move there?"

"No, no, no, even if there's a Magic Eye Warlock, that person is accompanied by a fourth-level Scourge Mage, so there's no way you can see him!"

Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm just guessing, it's a very simple truth, no need to make a fuss.

But since the Marquis of Carlisle is there, can he allow you to evade and delay like this?"

Daisy said something shocking again: "To be precise, the truce was requested by the Marquis of Carlisle.

My grandfather vomited blood, which gave him an excuse, and then I was sent here."

"First, I'll use the excuse that both sides haven't gathered their forces yet. If you don't believe me, I'll bring up the incident where my grandfather vomited blood.

In short, we must strive for at least ten days.”

"To buy time? But why should we buy time?"

Luo Yi frowned again and his eyes flickered.

His thoughts turned, and he suddenly looked at Daisy, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Tell me, what exactly do you Wick family want to do?"

"I'm very curious about your stance now. These are all secrets that cannot be told.

So, you told me everything?"

"If my memory serves me correctly, we are still in the Noble War. It's either you die or I live!"

Daisy smiled bitterly: "My Lord Earl, after saying so much, you should be able to feel that my Wick family actually does not want to fight this war at all!"

“Although the Raymond family is currently in a weak period, we also want to take over Frost Moon Canyon and the Gem Mine.

However, that has to be done through formal channels, such as inheritance.

For this reason, I, the first heir of the family, can change my last name to 'Raymond'.

And among these options, war is definitely not one of them!"

"We still have self-awareness. It's best not to covet the flower collar of the Lion King. This is based on countless years of experience."

"However, when the Marquis of Carlisle came to our door, that vicious, disgusting bald man stood in front of my grandfather. Many things were beyond our control."

"My grandfather had to summon vassals and knights, had to initiate a noble war, had to station troops here, and had to send the family's knights and soldiers to the battlefield..."

"We had no choice but to do all this!"

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I really want to know what the Marquis of Carlisle wants to do?"

"We don't know the details!"

Daisy shook her head and added, "But, what is certain is that they have a bigger plan."

"What about strength?"

“I didn’t see Marquis Carlisle’s knights and soldiers, but those who showed up included two fourth-level calamities and four third-level transcendents.

However, this time, after you arrived, Marquis Carlisle seemed to feel that these combat forces were still not safe."

"So, the purpose of delaying time could be to mobilize more manpower, or perhaps to wait for reinforcements to arrive?!"

At this point, Daisy's words were somewhat unconfident and seemed difficult to judge.

Luo Yi was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Thank you for telling me so much information, it is very important.

So, let’s talk about the more important question, what do you, the Wick family, want to do?

Or, do you want me to do something for your Wick family?"

Now that we have said this, it’s time to come clean.

Daisy's expression became more serious. She straightened her body and said softly, "My grandfather asked me to come here for a simple reason. He just wanted the Raymond family to show mercy!"

“In this battle, no matter how much the Marquis of Carlisle plots, my Wick family will bear the brunt.

That disgusting bald guy doesn't care about the casualties of our knights, but we can't not care!"

"So, my grandfather came here and wanted me to talk to you first, so that we can use less force in the subsequent fighting and cause less damage and losses!

And most importantly, you cannot hold my Wick family responsible afterwards."

At this point, Daisy seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face: "Of course, it would be even better if the Earl could really show his power and thwart the Marquis of Carlisle's conspiracy, causing them to suffer heavy losses!

I really hope that day will come, so that the rope around the Wick family's neck can be loosened.

My grandfather and I will be able to live a happier life."

"Is that all you ask for?"

Daisy nodded: "That's all!"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "In that case, I agree."

The second update is here, and the third update is also being revised!
