Chapter 12: The Baron's Difficulties
The middle-aged man who called Lu Feng uncle was the third son of his second brother Andre Hall, named Houston Hall.
Houston's father, Andre, told him countless stories about Lu Feng's heroic deeds.
Houston's ears are almost callused from all the constant chatter.
In his father's castle, there is a portrait of Lu Feng before he left home hanging on the wall.
When he was a child, Houston grew up almost under Lu Feng's portrait, listening to his father telling stories about Uncle Lu Feng's heroic deeds.
Lu Feng's face has been deeply imprinted in the minds of Houston and even everyone in the Hall family.
Therefore, Houston recognized Lu Feng the first time he saw him. However, Lu Feng's appearance, which had hardly aged, surprised Houston.
Is this the power of a wizard?
When Houston recognized Lu Feng, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. He waved his hand to let the escort soldiers leave and eagerly led the way for Lu Feng.
"I haven't been back for many years. Hongye Town has changed a lot now! By the way, how is your father's health?"
Lu Feng sighed, and then asked his nephew Houston about the situation of his second brother Andre.
"Father's health isn't very good!"
Speaking of this, Houston looked gloomy, not daring to look his uncle in the face, and spoke with an evasive look.
"Take me to see him!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng's heart sank, and he immediately urged in a cold voice.
From returning to Hongye Town, what he saw and heard along the way, and from his nephew's words, Lu Feng had a vague ominous premonition in his heart.
As my second brother, the legitimate baron of Hongye Town, is seriously ill, I am afraid that some unpleasant things have happened in the territory.
Houston was silent as he brought Lu Feng to the center of Hongye Town, in front of a large, towering castle.
The entire castle is made of black stone that is as hard as steel and is extremely solid.
It may not be impressive enough in front of Lu Feng, but for ordinary people and knights on the secondary road, this Black Stone Castle is an indestructible fortress.
But before the two men entered the gate of Blackrock Castle, a group of soldiers with drawn swords and raised spears blocked them at the door.
In the shooting holes above the castle gate, there were archers who pulled their longbows, put arrows on them, and aimed at Houston and Lu Feng.
With just a glance, Lu Feng already knew all the arrangements at the castle entrance.
The clearer he saw, the more fiercely the nameless fire in Lu Feng's heart burned.
Just when Lu Feng was about to vent his anger and turn these people into fertilizer,
On the observation deck above the castle gate,
A middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Andre appeared in their sight with a short figure wrapped in a black robe.
"Houston, didn't you promise me to remain neutral and not get involved in the power struggle in Red Leaf Town? Why did you go back on your word now? And why did you bring back someone who looks like Uncle Rest when he was young? Do you want to use an imposter to participate in the fight for the ownership of Red Leaf Town?"
The middle-aged man looked coldly at Houston and Lu Feng below, and questioned Houston in a cold tone.
Listening to his elder brother Ryan Hall's dangerous remarks, Houston Hall, who had already determined Lu Feng's identity, tensed up all over, and drops of cold sweat could not help but break out from his forehead.
My dear stupid brother!
You really did something stupid, actually talking nonsense about plotting to usurp the throne in front of your uncle.
Houston wanted to stop his brother from speaking, but it was too late.
Houston Hall heard only one sentence,
"Where did this idiot come from? Is Andre's brain damaged? How did he educate someone like this?"
There was a whistling sound of wind blowing past his ears, and when he came to his senses, his uncle had disappeared.
When he looked again, Lu Feng had already arrived at the observation deck where Houston's eldest brother was standing. He grabbed his neck with one hand and pressed him tightly against the gap in the observation deck.
“Woo woo woo!”
The fingers were as hard as rock and did not move at all no matter how Ryan struggled.
"The Baron has been assassinated. Quick, protect the Baron!"
At this time, Ryan Hall's soldiers finally reacted. They were shocked to see the baron being captured. Some of them reacted and shouted, wanting to go forward to rescue Ryan Hall.
"Hurry, save me, Ms. Anne, hurry and save me, use your magic to kill him! I want him to feel the offense."
Lu Feng tightened his fingers in disgust and swallowed back the rest of Ryan Hall's words.
At the same time, Lu Feng snorted coldly and released the restraints of the life force field on his body again.
An invisible aura spread from the watchtower, enveloping all of Ryan Hall's men at the castle gate.
Including the short figure wrapped in a black robe not far in front of Lu Feng, who was called Ms. Anne by Ryan Hall.
Under the suppression of Lu Feng's life force field, the soldiers were trembling with fear and their legs became weak. Some of the timid ones were so scared that they collapsed to the ground, defecating and pissing.
Ms. Anne, who was highly regarded by Ryan Hall, simply knelt on the ground and raised her hands in surrender.
"Your Excellency, Master Wizard, Annie is willing to surrender. As long as you spare my life, I will accept any request."
A soft female voice came from the black robe, begging for mercy to Lu Feng spinelessly.
Ms. Anne is not a brainless idiot like Ryan Hall. In front of wizards, she is very clear about her own strength.
"I'll deal with you later!"
Lu Feng raised his hand, and a red blood-sucking vine flew out from his sleeve, tying up the surrendered Ms. Anne. As the vine tightened, a curvy and exquisite body was revealed under the robe.
With Lu Feng's big hand strangling his throat, Ryan Hall had difficulty breathing. He was closest to Lu Feng, and when the life field spread, he was the most affected.
From flesh and blood to soul, everything about Ryan Hall was trembling in fear.
In the midst of fear, his only spiritual sustenance and hope was Ms. Anne's magic.
Ms. Anne's terrifying spell can turn a strong beast into ashes with one spell. Even the strong knights are no match for Ms. Anne.
In Hongye Town, is there anyone stronger than Ms. Annie?
But the next moment, Ryan Hall saw it.
Ms. Anne's decisive words of begging for mercy immediately shattered the only hope in Ryan Hall's heart and plunged him into the abyss of darkness.
How, how is this possible?
A wizard? He looks like an uncle?
Could it be that my father’s younger brother, the legendary Uncle Rest, has finally become a wizard and returned?
In fear, Ryan Hall was so frightened that he passed out.
"Houston, take over these soldiers, I said!"
Lu Feng gave the order as he threw Ryan Hall's unconscious body off the lookout with disgust.
“Yes, yes!”
Ryan Hall's body fell at Houston's feet, and Houston slowly reacted, then quickly replied.
With the help of the power of Wizard Lu Feng, the soldiers who had lost their spirit were quickly recruited by Houston, and the gate of the castle was opened.
By the time Houston finished everything and tied up his brother Ryan, Lu Feng had already taken the lead and entered the castle.
With his mental power spreading out, Lu Feng quickly found his second brother's room.
He quickly walked to the door of the room and slapped the five men guarding the door of Ryan Hall against the wall. Lu Feng took a deep breath and violently pushed open the locked door.
"who?"
The three soldiers in the room died in Lu Feng's rage just as they reacted.
After dealing with the guards who imprisoned his second brother, Lu Feng came to the bedside and finally saw the second brother he had been thinking about all the time.
