Chapter 241 239: A desperate fight (please subscribe)

East of Frostmoon Canyon,

In the Carlisle family camp, inside the central military tent.

Deathly silence spread throughout the tent. Everyone held their breath, even their heartbeats, not daring to be too loud.

They were stunned by the news they had just received!

The Castro family was blocked outside the magnificent forest, although no one knew how many troops Marquis Floyd mobilized.

However, given the businessman's nature of Marquis Castro, he would never do such an uncertain business.

The McKinley family was even worse off. The Grand Duchess came forward in person, and no one dared to confront her directly.

They are not even as good as the Castro family. They don’t even bother pretending and just retreat!

As for the Mist Pirates, they are even more ridiculous!

They actually robbed the official merchant ships of the Habsburg Empire. Those merchant ships that traveled between Siren Port and Fisherman's Port were so small that even other empires were unwilling to provoke them, let alone small pirates.

The result was obvious, they were beaten. The latest ironclad ships had exaggerated defenses and more magic cannons.

Although there is no good way to take the magic ship of the Mist Pirates, both sides are evenly matched and it is difficult to determine the winner.

But this time, the Emden specifically targeted other pirate ships. With one salvo, as long as it found the target, no pirate ship could withstand it!

As a result, after a relentless pursuit, although the Pirate King Davis suffered little loss, his prestige was greatly damaged.

Now, there is turmoil among the pirates!

Pirates are all about interests!

When Davis failed to bring them benefits and instead provoked the Habsburg Empire, they were of course unhappy.

It’s no wonder that before the incident in Frost Moon Canyon came to an end, the pirate group over there had already fallen apart.

Pirates are pirates, they are just a mob!

In other words, all the planning and calculations that the Marquis of Carlisle had spent so much time on had come to nothing.

At this moment, the Marquis of Carlisle, whose face originally showed arrogance, cruelty, and even decisiveness, seemed to have lost his soul and began to doubt himself.

This blow is really too great!

At this moment, the pale knight came closer, grabbed the Marquis of Carlisle by the neck, and lifted him up.

A fat body means exaggerated weight, and breathing becomes more difficult when the feet are off the ground.

At this moment, Marquis Carlisle felt the fear of dying!

At this moment, the knights around who had only been acting as guards finally reacted.

Even when facing a natural disaster, they still drew their weapons and bravely stepped forward.

Among them, there were even a few who displayed their fighting spirit, and they were obviously extraordinary and powerful people with considerable strength.

But they only took one step forward!

Then a magical light exploded in the tent and fell on the heads of the knights.

Then, the crowd, who were originally so aggressive, were fixed in place by this "Group Human Immobilization Technique" and could no longer move.

The only one who can cast magic so instantly is the fourth-level strongman, Mage Timo.

However, the Pale Knight did not strangle Marquis Carlisle to death directly, but let go before he died.

The fat body fell to the ground, and the Marquis of Carlisle let out a series of coughs. His face turned purple, and his whole face was covered with tears and snot.

However, his eyes once again shone with brilliance, becoming arrogant, fierce, and even murderous.

The Pale Knight leaned forward slightly, met those eyes, and said, "That's right! That's the right look!"

"Descendants of the Carlisle family can fail, can die in battle, but they cannot lose their ambition!"

"Now, it's your turn, the Marquis of Carlisle, to make a choice!"

"Retreat? Escape? Fight? Or fight to the death? The decision is yours!"

At this moment, the Marquis of Carlisle was completely awake. He stood up and wiped his face with the expensive clothes, wiping away all the snot and tears.

Then, without paying any attention to his men who were frozen in place, he went to the desk, took out a cigar, and slowly trimmed it, lit it, and puffed...

The swirling smoke rose up, obscuring his expression, as if only at this moment could he fully express his emotions.

This process did not last long. He took another step forward, as if emerging from the smoke, and walked in front of the Pale Knight.

He was silent for a few breaths, then gritted his teeth and said, "I won't give up!"

"So, you're ready to fight again?"

Marquis Carlisle shook his head firmly and said, "No, I don't want to fight again. I want to make a comeback and fight to the death!"

"Do you have a solution?"

“If the news is correct, the Raymond family only has three fourth-level natural disasters. Aside from Ms. Palacios, there are only two left.

So, we still have a chance!"

The Pale Knight narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I told you that the Scourge will not intervene in the battlefield. Otherwise, you will not be able to afford the consequences!"

"I know, I know, but what if it was an assassination?"

Marquis Carlisle remained calm, extremely so. He said icily, "We've already lost this battle!"

"According to my original plan, as long as I occupy Frost Moon Canyon, it would be equivalent to strangling the vital point of that illegitimate child!

Heading west, there are not many knights left in the Flower Territory. They are like naked beauties, at my mercy!

To the east, even if the illegitimate son still had some troops, he was trapped in the Earldom of Wick.

There is no logistics, no supplies, no one to repair damaged weapons, and no one to deal with broken armor.

Even if the Lion Knights are extremely powerful, I can wear them down!"

"As long as I get rid of these people, the flowers will be mine, and I can divide them up as I please."

"But now, Frost Moon Canyon is impossible to capture, and the Lion Knights are retreating. We are caught in a pincer attack and are now the weaker party."

The Pale Knight spoke: "So, you should make a decision sooner rather than later!"

"So what if it's decided?"

Marquis Carlisle calmly analyzed: "Even if I order the army to assemble and make a strategic shift south or north.

Escape this encirclement before the bastard leads his troops to arrive."

“But this is the territory of the Wick family. What’s most abundant here is the vast plains, which are most suitable for the Knights’ charge.

I am leading a large army, so my speed is bound to be slow and I can't escape.

But if I were to be caught up and face the Knights led by the Lion King, my fate would be no better than that of the Wick family!"

“So, the best outcome is to leave a large number of militia and knights behind to stop the enemy, and I will escape with the others!

but……"

Having said this, Marquis Carlisle raised his head and stared at the tall pale knight, his eyes full of unwillingness!

"But this is not what I want, nor is it what I can accept!"

“If we lose this battle, it will be an unbearable loss for the Carlisle family.

This is true even for our family!"

"So, what do you want to do?"

"I won't run away. I will fight that bastard here. I will hold everyone back as much as possible.

Then, I need a powerful natural disaster to carry out the assassination!"

"Our only advantage in this battle is that they only have two Scourges, while I have three!"

At this point, Marquis Carlisle's purpose has become clear, but what he wants to drive is a fourth-order natural disaster, not just any random person.

So, at this moment, he showed his utmost sincerity.

He stared at the pale knight, his eyes full of pleading: "Ancestor, please help me!"

Only the Marquis of Carlisle knew that this Pale Knight was of the true bloodline of Carlisle, and in terms of relationship, his ancestor.

The Pale Knight didn't agree immediately, but instead pressed on, "Are you really sure you can get that guy to do it? To put it bluntly, he's just accepting your hiring."

"That's right, but he loves money. I can give him a lot of money, a lot of money, so that he can't refuse it!"

The Pale Knight looked at Master Timo again and said, "Shall we fight against someone of the same rank?"

Mage Timo still looked indifferent: "As you say!"

Finally, the Pale Knight looked at Marquis Carlisle and said, "This is the last time!"

“After this battle, no matter what, I will return to the Carlyle family of the Bonaparte Empire.

How it goes here depends on your ability!

Are you sure about the Carlisle family heir?

"I'm sure!"

"Then let's move, we need the best opportunity!"

…

Timing always seems to be coincidental. When the discussion in the central army tent was finished, the sound of artillery fire finally stopped outside.

It took more than half an hour, and no one knew how many artillery shells the Raymond family had fired or how many times the position had been plowed, but they finally stopped.

But even so, many people still seemed to hear the echo of artillery fire, over and over again, endlessly!

At this time, the huge rock blocking the underground tunnel was finally moved away, and a group of lion knights rushed out with militia.

They were cleaning up the battlefield and capturing those enemies who had managed to escape. Although their number was small, there were still some.

There was no need to fight or kill them. These people were already terrified and most of them fainted. It was really luck that they survived.

Then they quickly occupied the war fortress and even sent people to clear the battlefield along the mountain road.

In this battle, the Raymond family regained their position and, under the leadership of two great knights, began to probe the Carlisle family's camp.

It was also at this time that the smoke from the artillery bombardment dissipated, but the sound of war horses trampling on the ground became louder and louder.

At the end of the field of vision, in the east, the Lion Knights finally arrived with Roy deliberately controlling their speed!

At this moment, the Marquis of Carlisle was surrounded on both sides.

Second update is coming soon!
