Chapter 270 Just Run Over (1)

A cold light suddenly flashed in Ron's eyes.

Dolores is his, and no one can take her away from him.

Holt the 474th has tried again and again to marry Dolores off. Is this old man really tired of living, or was the lesson from last time not enough?

And who is Egbert?

I couldn't think of it for a moment... Could it be that this guy was also born suddenly for some reason, similar to the Andre family? The guardian of fate? Also, Arianna has always been by Dolores' side. This Valkyrie can compete with Christian for the title of the first in the kingdom in Granville.

It was because of Arianna that Ron could let Dolores carry out the series of plans without worry. If Arianna was there, as long as Dolores didn't want to, I'm afraid Holt 474 wouldn't be able to force Dolores, right? Could it be that something unexpected happened? Ron has an advantage, that is, he asks when he doesn't understand. Taking a sip of wine, Ron slowly said, "But isn't Princess Dolores in charge of the army now? How dare that old man Holt attack the eldest princess?"

"Besides, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been protected by a master..."

"Hey, little brother, I didn't expect you to be such a smart guy." It was obvious that the name of old man Holt really suited these soldiers.

After all, these soldiers have been in the army for so many years without receiving any salary, and their loyalty to Granville and the Holt royal family is almost zero.

At this time, even the leading soldier, who was originally quiet, was a little drunk. He patted Ron on the shoulder and said, "You are talking about Lady Arianna, right? She is a Valkyrie. Almost no one in Granville can match her."

"If Arianna was still with Her Royal Highness the Princess, she wouldn't worry about these calculations."

"But I heard that about a month and a half ago, Miss Arianna suddenly had some realizations. I'm not sure what the situation was, but I heard that Miss Arianna stood in the yard for an entire afternoon, staring at the sky motionlessly, and did not wake up until nightfall. As soon as she woke up, she announced that she would go into seclusion."

"If Miss Arianna succeeds in her retreat and breaks through, then she might be our Granville... No, she might be the only one in the entire Dusk Continent in thousands of years, other than the saints and blasphemers, to enter the realm of destruction."

"This matter concerns Miss Arianna's future. Given Her Royal Highness Princess Dolores's personality, how could she stop Miss Arianna just for her own safety?"

One and a half months ago.

Ron's lips trembled slightly. At that time, he was still in the Temple of Dusk. Although the exact time was difficult to judge, but... stimulated by the diary left by Senior Zhou Yang, he glimpsed the shackles that fate imposed on every living being on the Dusk Continent. It should be during that time.

Could it be that he had glimpsed the shackles of fate, which then triggered some chain reactions, such as making those beings in this world who had cultivated their own strength to the extreme, such as Christian and Arianna, aware of the existence of the shackles? And Arianna's retreat to practice, could it be that it was to cut off the chain? He was somewhat looking forward to it, wondering if Arianna could cut off the chain.

However, if this is true, then wouldn't it be that he indirectly gave Holt the 474th generation the opportunity to frame Dolores? Ron's face became even gloomier.

There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

However, the drunken soldiers were completely unaware of this and continued to babble:

"Normally, the eldest princess is guarded by Miss Arianna, so she doesn't leave many experts to accompany her for protection. With the Valkyrie in seclusion, the defense force around her suddenly seems a little empty. Although the eldest princess immediately began to mobilize manpower from the surrounding military camps, the old dog Holt acted faster and more ruthlessly. He seized this opportunity and placed the eldest princess under house arrest."

"Because the princess has been detained, Granville's army is in a state of panic. Although there are many soldiers surrounding Adams City, they dare not act rashly."

"We brothers were originally stationed at the border. It was because we heard this news that we were arranged by our superiors to go to Adams to find out the details. If Her Royal Highness the Princess has really been placed under house arrest and is going to marry that loser from the Egbert family in the future, then what's the point of guarding this border? Those damn nobles don't even treat us brothers as human beings..."

"I heard that the old coward Holt even arranged a large number of scouts outside Adams to prevent anyone from rescuing Princess Dolores. When the number of people was not enough, he even borrowed a number of experts from the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. Bah, what a bunch of snakes and rats."

Along with the nagging complaints, Ron finally had a general understanding of the situation.

Seeing that he wouldn't get much useful information if he continued asking, Ron stood up and said goodbye.

"What's wrong with Dolores?" Agnes asked as soon as she sat down.

"Holt and Apu may have teamed up." Ron said with a sneer.

Although the word Apu had never appeared in the mouths of those soldiers, Ron had already deduced a general idea from the appearance of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

Holt is the typical type of person who wants to be a chaste womanizer even though he is a whore. He wants to control all the power in Granville by himself, and even wants to change his title of king to emperor.

However, he cherished his reputation and did not want to be labeled a tyrant.

So, when Dolores took action to put the nobles under house arrest and squeeze money from them, Holt completely acquiesced.

He regarded Dolores as a very handy sharp knife, using Dolores to suppress the influence of the aristocracy, so that the aristocracy no longer had the capital to resist the royal power.

When Dolores clears the way ahead, Holt will jump out to pick the fruit, but the guy in the game is a little slow. By that time, Dolores has completely gathered the morale of the army. The entire Granville army recognizes no one except Dolores, not even the king Holt.

Holt, enraged and humiliated, was ready to kill Dolores directly, but he underestimated the strength of Arianna and Dolores. In addition, Dolores' mother was trapped in a dungeon by Holt and tortured to death, which eventually led to Holt's death at the hands of the player, Dolores and Arianna.

Although the nobles under Dolores' suppression dared not raise their heads for the time being, they were far from being seriously injured. In theory, Holt should not have taken action at this time, so Ron could only infer that something else must have happened, causing Holt to take action against Dolores in advance.

There are two reasons for this.

On the one hand, the plan Ron made for Dolores was far more thorough and efficient than Dolores' own actions in the game. Dolores' prestige in the army grew too fast, which aroused Holt's fear, and he decided not to keep a tiger as a threat!

On the other hand, it is very likely that Apu has returned to Adams. With Apu's character, he certainly cannot tolerate the humiliation he suffered in the Twilight Temple, and he absolutely cannot accept that the Dragon God's Eye fell into his hands. This guy may have been immersed in the fantasy that he is the son of destiny and cannot extricate himself. He regards all the hardships he has experienced as a test of destiny, and all the existence that stands in his way as a stepping stone for his rise.

However, his strength is not enough to deal with Ron and Agnes at the same time. In this case, Apu will definitely look for help.

Of course, Saint Christian was out of the question. After all the calculations, the only person who could be a helper seemed to be Holt. And Apu happened to see the scene of himself and Agnes working together. Once Holt heard the news, he would be furious.

And it was impossible to hide his relationship with Dolores from Holt.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

With all the anger building up, it wouldn't be surprising no matter what this old guy does.

Once he heard the news that Dolores was going to get married, he would enter Adams no matter what. Apu and Holt would certainly prepare a large number of masters in advance and ambush near Adams. Once he got close, he would inevitably be besieged by a large number of strong men.

In order to avoid retaliation afterwards, even Arianna, who has been practicing in seclusion, might be in danger.

At first he was planning to use similar methods to deal with Apu, but he didn't expect that it would happen to him first.

After listening to Ron's simple explanation, Agnes's expression changed: "Sir, what should we do now?"

"What should we do?" Ron raised his eyebrows and stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth: "Dolores will not be in any danger before I return to Adams."

"As for Holt and Apu, just run them over!"

…

Adams! Out of town.

The dense jungle was very quiet, without any sound at all; even the chirping of birds and insects disappeared at this time.

Although some caravans could be seen coming and going on the official road, as well as civilians entering and leaving the royal city, those people had completely lost their usual noise and were now silent.

Anyone could feel the extremely oppressive and terrifying atmosphere in the air. In this atmosphere, even the dumbest person would know that something big was about to happen here.

In the dense forests on both sides of the official road, there were figures lurking.

All of them are the best thieves.

Their figures almost completely blended in with the surrounding environment, and their heartbeats and breathing were all suppressed to the extreme.

Even if you walk up to them, it is difficult to detect the presence of these thieves.

Pairs of eyes stared around vigilantly, unwilling to miss any movement.

They have been waiting here for a long, long time, more than half a month, but the target has never appeared.

None of the thieves noticed that right on the ground, there were completely transparent tentacles, like densely packed poisonous snakes, rapidly winding along the ground.
