Many horse-drawn carriages were parked on the gradually muddy road. The carriages were no longer confined to the road, but formed a large circle, including parts of many farmlands.

Many knights stood on the periphery to be on guard, while more guards and knights scattered and rushed in all directions like ants.

Without these knights' diligent search, the current situation would be extremely dangerous.

Because they don't know whether the enemy's magic cannon can fire another shot.

In the circle, the women and the younger ones stayed on the outside. The powerful knights and vassals stayed on the inside. They gathered around a wreckage, silent.

Many knights and guard knights knelt on one knee, their faces covered with something that was not sure whether it was rain or tears.

The Baron, and the Baroness, were killed.

The magic cannon accurately hit the carriage that the baron and his wife were riding in, and sent away the coachman and two knights along with them.

The beam rushed straight over, turning the carriage and the baron and his wife into dust, leaving only a few debris. The explosion point was at another place not far away.

Fortunately, the baron's children, such as Alice, Philip, and Latin, sat in other carriages, so that the baron's family line would not be extinct.

But the problem is still very serious.

Knight Gandaor died, and he had no heir, so the ownership of the knight title would be a dispute. Logically, the baron would announce that Sisia Gandaor would become the new generation of Knight Gandaor soon.

But now even the Baron is dead.

Two important figures died in Patton's territory at once, leaving a knight title and a baron title vacant.

Everyone present was silent, and they all felt that a storm was approaching.

"Where is your father? Why are you the one taking charge of the Pompeii family's recent actions?" Natsu Wilson looked at Luther gloomily and questioned.

"My father went to the Endless Forest and there is no news of him now." Luther bowed to the current first vassal and replied.

"How can a knight lord easily go to the Endless Forest? He has no sense of responsibility, especially at this time."

Natsu, Wilson scolded.

Luther had no way to refute it.

Because the Pompeii family is indeed a knight vassal of the Baron family, and has been protected by the baron for generations. Now that Barton has caused such a big incident, the contemporary Pompeii knight Sol, Pompeii, is missing.

This is an irrefutable dereliction of duty.

However, the gloomy Knight Wilson did not seize upon the Pompey family's small faults and keep pursuing accountability, as that would be meaningless.

"Now we must first determine the next generation of Knight Gandal and invite Knight Philip to become the new Baron. We must also send someone to report to the Archon, Count Libya, and the King. We must also request Count Libya to send someone to investigate the cause of the Baron's death. No matter who the other party is, I always feel that it is too weak to investigate with our strength."

Natsu, Wilson said methodically.

In the current situation, he is the only one who has the ability to calm the situation and give orders.

"Before this, the Baron had already sent a group of knights to the Golden City to ask the Libyan Earl to send people to protect the territory."

A guardian knight said.

"What if this group of people is intercepted midway? Send more people to go to the Golden City in disguise." Natsu Wilson said.

"yes."

Said the guardian knight.

"Pack up immediately and go back to Kaiyue City to hold a meeting to let Knight Philip inherit the title of baron and determine the next generation of Knight Gandal."

Natsu, Wilson said finally.

"yes."

Everyone, including Luther, responded, and the team started to move out again, but this time the vigilance was much stricter, and many knights were scattered around the team to ensure that no one was ambushed.

Soon after, the team arrived at Kaiyue City and entered the hall of Barton Castle. All qualified people entered the hall, including Luther, the representative of the Pompeii family, Pompeii, and the knights of the seven major families.

The vassal of Barton, the leader of the guardian knight family, and the children of the baron.

Those who were not qualified were waiting outside the castle.

There were more than fifty people entering the castle. The male and female servants were busy arranging chairs. After entering the hall, Naz and Wilson said to Philip and Barton, "Mr. Knight, things are urgent now, you take that seat."

Natsu, Wilson pointed to the Baron's location.

"Okay." Philip Barton, the eldest son of the baron who looked somewhat similar to the baron and inherited the baron's timid character, was pale and at a loss at this moment.

Seeing Natsu, he nodded quickly and sat in the Baron's seat following Wilson's instructions.

Afterwards, the knights who entered the hall were divided into two rows. The vassal knights headed by Naz and Wilson sat on the right, followed by Scia and Gandalf, and Luther and Pompey on the third.

Sitting on the left were the guardian knights, headed by the Knight Commander.

"Hisoka, Rufen."

The Ruffin family is a family that is deeply trusted by the Barton family. All the Knights of the Barton family are from the Ruffin family. The Ruffin family is responsible for protecting the baron and managing the entire Guardian Knight family sequence.

In terms of status, Hisoka and Rufin have the strength to compete with Natsu and Wilson.

Moreover, this Hisoka, Knight Commander Rufen, also possesses the strength of a high-level knight.

Luther had little contact with the Knight Commander. At first glance, he seemed to be a silent person, the kind of person who would do things without saying a word.

Such people are very low-key and don't like to show off.

So the person currently chairing the meeting is still Naz Wilson.

In addition to the ministers of the Barton family, Alice, Barton, Latin, and Barton also sat down, but they sat on the left and right of Philip and Barton.

Radin looked a little sad and very pale.

Alice.

Um.

Luther felt that the baron's eldest daughter did not care about the death of the baron and his wife and was currently pretending to be sad.

Anyway, Luther felt that although he was ranked third because of the reputation of the Pompey family, as a junior, he should just be a bystander in this meeting of the Patton family.

And this meeting should be uneventful.

Lucy, Patton is far away in the Golden City. Even if he wants to fight for the position of Baron, it is too late now.

The barony was essentially Philip's.

No one competed with Sicia and Gandaor for the title of Knight Gandaor, so the meeting would end soon. The question was what state Lord Patton would enter next.

Face the threat of unknown enemies.

Who is the other party?

Lucy, Barton?

Natsu, Wilson?

Luther felt that the suspicion of these two people was already very small. Luther knew something about Lucy Patton. No matter how much this person wanted the title of baron, it was impossible for him to harm his own father.

If a son could take power by killing his father, the whole of Prussia would have been in chaos.

Natsu and Wilson had reasons to murder Barbana and Gandal, but they had no reason to murder the Baron.

It now seems that the possibility of a new party will be very high.

The new party was formed to overthrow the aristocratic rule of the Kingdom of Prussia. Was their power finally going to take action against Orange? Luther felt very heavy in his heart.

But the development of the situation was beyond Luther's expectations.
