Chapter 266: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole



Warwick fell heavily to the ground again. This time, all his bones seemed to be broken and he couldn't get up at all.

"Bablin." Roning shouted.

Baburin, who was waiting on the top of the hill, ran over and said, "Sir, you are back. What can I do for you?"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the stranger lying on the ground with bruises all over his body, secretly guessing this guy's identity.

"Go and inform Toru, Marvin, Philip, and Thorstein, and ask them to come here. Tell them that I have something urgent to discuss with them."

"Oh, by the way, if Baron Correan is also in the camp, call him over as well."

"As you wish, sir!" Baburin immediately went down and shouted.

After Ronin moved out of the Stone Castle, Toru and others also left the castle, all preparing to spend the night in the camp.

Baburin soon found them.

"What else does Roning have to do so late at night?" Toru asked in surprise.

Baburin shook his head. "My Lord didn't say it explicitly, but I think it must be a very important matter. I'd like to trouble Sir Toru to go there."

Toru didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, I'll be right there."

Next, Baburin contacted Marvin and others. They were also confused, but none of them refused the invitation.

Soon after, everyone gathered in Ronin's big tent.

Ronin looked around and asked, "Corrin is not here?"

"My lord, Baron Corrine has returned to his castle."

Roning nodded and waved his hand to signal Baburin to retreat.

Marvin couldn't help but ask, "Luo Ning, what's the matter that you gathered us together so late?"

"There is something very important I want to discuss with you."

He first turned his gaze to Toru: "Sir Toru, as the first commander of the Knights of Wushan Castle, will you betray Wushan Castle and Marquis Rulans?"

Toru frowned, not understanding what Ronin meant.

"Please don't doubt my loyalty, Ronin."

He said solemnly: "From the day I followed Lord Lulans, my sword will only be swung for him!"

Ronin turned his gaze to Philip and Thorstein again.

The two men looked solemn and said the same thing as Toru.

Marvin also prepared his speech, but unfortunately Roning did not ask.

Of course Roning didn't need to ask, he was familiar enough with Marvin. He had a passionate side and a wise side, but sometimes he was very hot-blooded, or simply put, reckless.

"I know you are loyal to the Marquis, but not everyone is like that."

Luo Ning looked around at the four people and said slowly: "From what I know, Baron Corrin is already a traitor to Wushanling."

Boom! This sentence immediately shocked the four people present.

"impossible!"

The first person to say this was Toru, "Ronin, although Corian performed very badly in the battle of Red Mountain Town, I have seen the wounds on his body, and they are indeed left over from the recent battle. I have also inspected the wounded of the Knights, and they all know how fierce the battle was that night. They can't be traitors!"

"Yes, Luo Ning, you can't talk nonsense about such things."

Marvin had to be cautious about such issues.

Unwarranted slander of nobles is a small matter, but it is also a big matter. At least it has a negative impact on Ronin's personal reputation.

Although Philip and Thorstein were only deputy leaders, they were also skeptical about Ronin's statement.

They could still believe that Corian secretly seized the property of Wushanbao, but the word "betrayal" was too serious.

Unless Lu Lan Si died and the Wushan family was completely destroyed, the cost of betrayal and failure would be too high.

Then again, even if there was betrayal, it was an extremely private matter.

Ronin arrived at Boulder Ridge at the same time as them. They didn't hear any news, so how did Ronin know it? "Did you hear any news?" Toru calmed down.

He was a little emotional just now, mainly because he was the captain, and he felt very sad to see the defeated and injured soldiers of the Fifth Knights. He also didn't want to see these people who fought so hard being wronged.

"Not only did I hear the news, I also caught a witness."

Ronin clapped his hands, and Joffrey pulled the injured Warwick in and threw him to the ground.

"This is?"

Toru and others looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

"One of the core figures of the Porte Thieves, the Silver Knight Warwick."

"What?"

Everyone looked at the injured person lying on the ground unable to move in shock. Was he a member of the Polante Thieves' Gang?

"The skin and flesh show obvious signs of strengthening. It is indeed a Silver Knight!"

Toru realized the seriousness of the problem, because even if Ronin was talking nonsense, he couldn't use the Silver Knight as a witness.

He also quickly squatted down and checked, confirming Marvin's statement that the injured person was indeed the Silver Knight.

"Luo Ning, what on earth is going on?"

Roning chuckled, "Warwick, tell me about your identity and what Corrine did."

Warwick, lying on the ground, trembled unconsciously when he heard Roning calling his name.

The battle in the forest just now was the most thrilling, yet the most powerless battle he had ever experienced in his life.

He thought he had a sure win, but he was at a disadvantage in the first move of the fight, and then was crushed from all sides.

Warwick was horrified to find that Ronin was actually the Silver Knight!

Such a young Silver Knight, this overturned his cognition.

He really wanted to tell Amycus, Corian and others that everyone had been deceived by this young man and that this guy was the biggest conspirator.

"I, I am indeed a member of the Polante Thieves Group..."

Warwick began to describe what happened in Red Mountain Town in a halting and weak voice.

In the tent, apart from his voice, the only sound was the increasingly heavy breathing of Toru and others.

After Warwick stated the purpose of this war - to annihilate the coalition of nobles, the hot-tempered Marvin could not help but swear.

"Damn it, Corrine! I'm going to kill him!"

Toru also gritted his teeth: "Damn traitor!"

Philip and Thorstein even asked directly: "Sir, why don't we lead the knights to surround his castle and capture him alive!"

"Yes, surround his castle overnight!" Marvin also agreed.

Toru also nodded and said, "Although the defense of the Boulder Castle is strong, and Corian also has three knight teams, two of them are now in the camp. We can control these two teams, and then lead people to surround the Boulder Castle and end the battle as quickly as possible."

Of the two deputy commanders, Toru's thinking is clearer, while Marvin is more like a general.

At this time, the curtain of the big tent was drawn open and Redal walked in.

He nodded to the others first, and then reported to Ronin: "Sir, in the evening, most of the two knight squads of Correan were withdrawn, saying that they were to maintain the defense of Boulder Ridge."

Now, everyone was more certain of Coreen's betrayal.

These two knight teams have already been recruited, and Corian has no command authority at this time, let alone transfer them away without notifying the commander and deputy commander.

Roning frowned slightly. He had not caught Warwick by the evening, so Corian probably did not transfer these people away for the reason of "exposure".

"Rydar, how many soldiers and horses does he have left in the camp?"

"There are six professional knights, and half of the cavalry and infantry are left."

Ronin nodded, "Joffrey."

Joffrey, who was guarding outside the tent, came in.

"Go and inform Knight Macken and Talen that no one, especially those from Corrine, will be allowed to leave the camp tonight."

"yes!"

Toru looked at Joffrey who was striding away, and he suddenly realized that the command of this war did not seem to require his assistance. Perhaps Rulans still did not know his grandson well enough.

Perhaps, this battle between Chishan Town and the Polante Bandits will be the battle that makes Roning famous.

"Ronin, how are you going to deal with Corrine?"

Toru couldn't help but ask, "We will follow your arrangements."

Marvin and the other two also looked at Roning. Since the strongest knight in the coalition had said so, it meant that the latter would have full command of this war.

Ronin thought for a moment and said, "Attacking at night is hasty in the first place. Add to that the poor visibility, unfamiliar terrain, and the strong defenses of the Stone Castle. It's obviously not wise to besiege Correen now."

"And don't forget, we still have an enemy in Chishan Town. If too much damage is caused by capturing Corrine, that's something I don't want to see."

"You're right, we were just blinded by anger."

Marvin took a deep breath and calmed down. "I have observed the stone fortress of Correan. The walls are very thick. It is impossible to blast them open easily even with fighting skills. It is indeed not a simple task to attack it."

He looked at Ronin: "What are you going to do?"

"We don't need to go in."

Luo Ning's eyes flashed with calculation: "We just need to pretend that nothing happened. Summon him to the camp to discuss matters tomorrow morning, and then we can join forces to capture him."

A gleam of light flashed in Toru's eyes: "This is a good idea!" (End of this chapter)
