Chapter 214: Traitor (1200 monthly tickets plus more last month)
When the war came, even at night, the city of Brussels looked chaotic.
There were lit lanterns everywhere, and countless armored soldiers passed by.
Ms. Palacios left cleanly and flew away, but Grand Knight Vincent Ackerman didn't have that ability.
He needed to gather his knights, prepare horses and rations, prepare for a long-distance raid, and request potions and various supplies...
It takes time to prepare these things.
What's more, other vassals and knights are also making preparations, and the transfer of various supplies is being arranged.
All these made this very peaceful city appear a bit chaotic!
Of course, such panic is the best opportunity for some people with ulterior motives.
There was a group of people wearing black cloaks, moving in the shadows and passing by houses at an extremely fast speed.
Finally, they entered a remote house in a wealthy area and moved the wooden boards on the ground, revealing an underground passage.
The city of Brussels is built on the banks of the Ruhr River, and groundwater is already abundant. Building an underground tunnel is not an easy task.
The walls of this passage are made of solid stone, and are reinforced at regular intervals to ensure its long-term maintenance.
But even so, the entire corridor was not very long. After turning a corner, they entered a study.
The study is large and luxurious. The carpet on the floor, the paintings on the walls, and the books on the desk all show that its owner is a well-educated man.
It’s a pity that these men in black seemed out of place when they entered.
One of them quickly took off his cloak, revealing the clothes worn by an ordinary male servant.
He opened the door naturally, walked out, and blended into the manor, as if he was a servant here.
And the owner of this manor, Lord Regan Durant, is already very busy tonight!
As Count Raymond's money bag, he is very busy, not to mention today, all kinds of financial expenditures, material dispatch, and supply needs require his attention.
Originally, he was still making various arrangements in the front yard, directing his subordinates to do things, listening to their reports, and making more detailed arrangements.
But when the servant appeared behind a group of people and was seen by him, his expression suddenly changed.
It was as ugly as eating a fly, but I couldn't do anything about it.
He could only arrange the affairs faster, pretend to be exhausted, and told the housekeeper that he was going to the study to rest and not to be disturbed by outsiders.
It was not until he left the front yard and the servant caught up with him that his back showed a hint of panic.
In the study, he could hardly suppress his anger when he saw this group of men in black.
"Why did you come back again?"
"There are countless powerful knights gathered in Brussels now. How dare you come back?"
"Do you want to die?! If you want to die, don't take me with you, okay?"
"Quiet! Quiet!"
The leading man in black lifted his cloak, revealing a somewhat evil face. He looked at Lord Regan with a bright smile.
"My Lord, what are you afraid of?"
"Even if that illegitimate child stole the earldom, he's just a bastard, so how could he know the evil nature of human nature?"
"You are a traitorous slave, what do you have to be afraid of?"
Regan's face turned ugly, and he couldn't help but say, "Fenrir, could you please be more careful with your words?"
The man in black took a few steps forward, walked in front of Regan, raised his hand and patted Regan's face.
He didn't use much force, but he slapped it frequently, and the sound of snapping filled the room.
With the nobility and contempt unique to aristocrats, he slapped his hands every time he uttered a word.
"I'm not polite, what can you do?"
"Bite me? Or tell your new master about it?"
"I can survive even if I'm captured. Nobles have their own rules. The worst that can happen is I have to pay a ransom.
But you, my Lord, who betrayed your master, will die a very ugly death! A very ugly death! "
"If you have the guts, go and report me?"
As he spoke, his slaps became heavier and heavier, until each one could even slap Lord Regan's face to the side.
Amid the sound of "pa pa", the subordinates brought by the man in black all smiled in contempt.
Regan felt as if his dignity was being trampled on. Even back then, Count Karl had never treated him like this.
But at this moment, he could only swallow the bitter fruit. When the slapping stopped, his body softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
Tears and snot streamed down his face. He didn't even dare to cry out loud, so he could only ask in a hoarse voice: "What on earth do you want to do? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Just complete the tasks we assign you, that's all!"
As he said this, he had already pulled over a bench and sat in front of Regan, who was half-kneeling on the ground, like a master.
Then he took out a small bottle from his arms and shook it in front of Regan.
"I know you have access to the well at Lion Manor, so throw this into it."
"Just find a suitable opportunity, when no one is around, open the bottle, and sprinkle the potion in.
It’s very simple, isn’t it?
At this moment, Regan suddenly looked up, looked at the small bottle in disbelief, then shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the man.
It was a typical small bottle for potions, but inside, black potion was churning and colliding everywhere like a living thing.
"This, this, this, you, you actually poisoned me?"
"Poison? No no no no..."
Fenrir grinned, his smile was extremely malicious, and he said, "Poison is very easy to detect. Ancient families all have their own methods of testing for poison, and it is easy to expose it.
So, this is not poison!"
"This is a demon worm from hell, an extremely tiny, yet deadly demon worm.
Of course, in our world, it has another name: Plague!"
"If you sprinkle it into the well, let the knights and vassals and our illegitimate earl eat it,
By then, when they go to the battlefield, they will develop a high fever, their limbs will become weak, and they will be completely defeated by the Wick family."
"More importantly, this happened a long time ago. No matter what, I can't trace it back to you."
"Well, are we really concerned about your safety?"
"Moreover, as long as you accomplish this, we will give you the powerful title you want!"
At this moment, Regan sneered and said, "A real title of nobility, ha ha ha, you didn't deliver last time.
This time, you won’t keep your promise!”
Fenrir didn't show any anger at being exposed. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, looked down at Regan, and said, "Maybe it will come true, maybe it won't, but you'd better choose to trust us!"
"So, I'll give you two days. After two days, I hope to hear good news!"
"Two days later, the plague was planted and the army set out. Everything was set in stone, and it was so perfect!"
"Two days, isn't that too long? Otherwise, how about now?"
A voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. The people in the room were stunned and took action almost instantly.
The others surrounded Fenrir and Regen directly in the middle, acting as a guard.
A knife appeared in Fenrir's hand and was pressed against Regan's neck.
"You betrayed me?"
"No, no!"
"Who is this person?"
"I, I don't know... Wait, it seems to be the Earl!"
Regan was halfway through his words when he felt that the voice was very familiar and changed his tone.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Luo Yi walked in slowly with a sword on his waist.
Behind him, Oliveira and Ang guarded him on both sides like door gods.
As for the Iron Knight and the Fire Sword Saint, they did not show up at all.
The rest of the manor had already been controlled, and the slaves and maids were pressed together, unable to make even the slightest sound.
And the ones suppressing them were not knights, but a group of gangsters.
The thirty people brought by Ange are definitely the most thoughtful and hardworking group of people in the Oakland City Brotherhood.
They might be far inferior to Ange, but Luo Yi at least gave them opportunities, soul-fixing spices, academic teachers, swordsmanship coaches, and skills training...
They were not left out of any of these!
If you want to say how powerful they are, that is of course impossible, but among the gangs, they are definitely the elite among the elite!
They are organized and disciplined, so it shouldn't be too easy for them to do things like infiltration and control.
At this time, Luo Yi finally stepped into the study. He looked around without any fluctuation, but when he saw Lord Regan, his expression became a little complicated.
It should be said that Luo Yi never let down his guard, so as soon as he gained a foothold, he couldn't wait to let Ang set up an intelligence system.
According to him, if you take the first step in some things, things will get better and better.
Therefore, when various conditions are not yet mature, we have to push for the establishment of a "brotherhood".
However, what he didn't expect was that Ang would give him a big surprise.
According to Ang, although surveillance personnel are deployed, there are only so many people at this stage, so some high-value targets must be selected.
In his opinion, if anyone dared to betray Count Carl Raymond, he must be in a high position and powerful enough, otherwise he would not have access to core secrets.
Furthermore, they will gain enough benefits after the castle is destroyed.
Based on these two points, he directly locked on three people, Regan Durant, Alan Wells and Vincent Ackerman.
To put it bluntly, they are three people competing for the position of Earl Raymond.
If Luo Yi was not there, even if it was just to appease them, he would have to more or less mark out a piece of territory for them.
Therefore, these three people are the most suspicious!
Of course, suspicion is just suspicion, not the truth.
But what Ang did not expect was that just after his personnel were deployed, they reported back that something was happening with Lord Regan.
The reason for the discovery was simply some of Regan's unreasonable living habits and the amount of food he consumed.
Then, today, Luo Yi came to the house.
Looking at Reagan Durant who looked like a lost dog, Roy finally asked that question.
"I'm curious, why did you do this?"
Here is the extra chapter. Um, I also want monthly tickets and subscriptions!
