"Master Steward, something terrible has happened!"
A disheveled figure came running, scrambling and crawling, his face filled with terror.
He was blond, blue-eyed, and had a hooked nose. He was around forty years old, and a distinctive goatee stood out on his chin.
The man strode over, his narrowed eyes carrying a chilling glint: "What happened?"
"The place where the slaves were held was set on fire, and all the slaves ran away!"
After hearing the man's report, the head butler's eyes flickered: "Have you informed the third prince?"
"No, the commander has gone hunting and we can't contact him right now!"
The man spoke hastily, a trace of lingering fear still visible on his face.
The flames erupted so suddenly, as if in the blink of an eye, everything was ablaze, and all the slaves fled.
"That means the third brother is out of contact!"
The head butler nodded and got up to walk toward the castle.
Something was amiss. During the time when the third brother was out and couldn't be contacted, a fire suddenly broke out in the place where slaves were held. It all seemed like a conspiracy.
I need to report this to the boss.
...
He lifted her pointed chin with his fingers, looking at her cherry-like mouth with an inappropriate, sickly glint in the eyes of a seasoned old nobleman.
The soft whip, made of gold threads as thin as a hair, was wrapped around his wrist.
The man in black was suspended in the air, his feet bound with iron chains, and an iron ball was hanging below him.
Splat!
The whip tore through her clothes, leaving a bloody mark on her snow-white skin.
The man in black frowned, revealing an indescribable fragility and pain.
Excitement flashed in the lord's eyes. He raised his whip, and the next moment, there was a knock on the door.
His newly formed interest was abruptly interrupted, and the lord's face darkened as if a black cloud were pressing down on him.
Take a deep breath and regain your composure.
"who!"
A cold voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Brother, something might have happened!"
The head butler's voice rang out from outside the door.
The lord raised an eyebrow. Unless it was something very important, his second brother wouldn't come to him so earnestly.
"Come in!"
The lord let the head steward in and found a chair to sit down.
The head butler who walked in immediately spotted the man in black who was hanging up, but only glanced at him before looking away.
Report the general situation you know to the lord.
Upon hearing his words, the lord raised his eyebrows: "You mean to say that someone wants to make a move against our Dark Territory?"
"I can't be sure, but it's too coincidental. The third brother had just left and then we couldn't contact him. Then the place where the slaves were held caught fire. It's hard to believe there's nothing fishy going on."
The head butler spoke calmly.
The lord nodded, a smile appearing on his lips: "Take out the third one first. The fire there is probably an attempt to lure one of us to investigate."
Pick them off one by one? That's a good strategy, but it also shows that the opponent is not strong enough.
"Let's go, let's go meet those guys!"
After saying that, he got up and left first, with the head butler following closely behind. Before leaving, he glanced at the man in black who was hanging there.
She's really good-looking!
The hundreds of guards inside the castle were quickly mobilized; each one was burly and had a fierce face.
These are all carefully selected experts, most of whom are formal knights. They are the strongest force in the Dark Territory and are directly controlled by the lord.
Hundreds of people mounted their horses and escorted the two men toward the place where slaves were imprisoned.
Ma Yefan, possessing the bloodline of magical beasts, ran at incredible speed, reaching the ruins in half an hour.
The intense magical flames almost burned the place to ashes, leaving only a few guards, blackened by the fire. When they saw the lord arrive, they scrambled forward.
But before they could get close, someone blocked their way, their cold eyes fixed on them with a chilling gaze, and their faces beneath the cold armor were expressionless.
"Stop! Come any closer and you'll be killed without mercy!"
Su Qing watched the scene below with great interest. He had personally witnessed Alan and his companions disguised as guards. Now that they couldn't get close to that guy, what were they planning to do? Would they take direct action or something else?
Click, click!
Su Qing opened the ten backpacks beside her and took out some parts from each to assemble them.
These ten backpacks weren't just prepared for them to carry heavy loads; they're filled with useful items.
"what is going on?"
The cold-faced head butler stepped forward, spoke, and stared at the group.
"Master Butler, it's like this..."
As Alan spoke, he stepped forward, looking flustered and somewhat anxious.
The original plan was to lure only one person over, but now not only have both of them been lured over, but a group of guys who don't look like they're going to get into trouble have also been attracted.
Looking up, I saw a strange look in the eyes of the hooked-nosed man in front of me.
The other person's lips moved, seemingly uttering two words: "Attack!"
For a moment, Alan was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses. After a brief hesitation, he gritted his teeth and charged at the lord.
At the same time, Ruble and the others immediately drew their swords.
"Let's do it!"
"Let's do it!"
The two shouts of "Attack!" came from the lord and the head steward, respectively.
Immediately afterwards, the hundred or so fierce-looking guards began to kill each other.
A small portion of the group defected, and the majority of the remaining group seemed to have been caught off guard by their comrades' attack. By the time they realized what was happening and retaliated, a number of them had already been killed.
"Second brother, how dare you stab me in the back!"
Rage, rage like never before!
The lord completely lost his elegant aristocratic demeanor, his anger almost tangible as he stared intently at the smiling head steward.
