Chapter 216 214: Beheading, Going to War (Please subscribe, please vote)
The next day,
Early in the morning, the ruins of Lion Castle.
Luo Yi came here today with a large group of people, as well as pack horses and flatbed carts.
Then, he led Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil Zek and Flame Sword Saint Otto, and went in and out of the Raymond family's treasure trove again and again to move things out.
Weapons, armor, food...
Just like ants moving, things are transported out little by little through the dimensional bag.
Seeing that the carriage was full, the four of them leaned against the mountain of supplies, chatting casually while waiting for the next round of carriages to arrive.
The Iron Knight was puzzled and asked, "My Lord Earl, the family warehouse should have plenty of supplies, right? Why do you have to take them from here?"
Luo Yi supported the box with two axes, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, feeling the warmth of the sun, as if countless small hands were massaging him, which was very comfortable.
He tilted his head slightly and said, "The reason I promised that the Raymond family would cover all expenses for this battle is because I want my knights to fight without any worries."
"The reason I moved supplies from here is not because I need them, but to tell everyone my determination."
"In this battle, I am willing to use all my family's wealth, resources, and means to win the final victory!"
"This is very important, because war is fought on morale!"
Having said that, Luo Yi straightened up again and said, "Besides, I think it would be a huge waste to leave such a large amount of wealth and materials there untouched.
In this era, of course, investing wealth in development is the way to go. Money making money, interest making interest is the way to go! "
As he was saying this, he saw a figure walking quickly towards him, facing the sunlight and unable to make out clearly.
Luo Yi narrowed his eyes, and his vertical pupils were like eagle eyes, and he finally saw the person clearly.
It was Ange!
We have tracked it down to this point, so it’s obvious that there is a result!
When this thought came to mind, Luo Yi became alert. He straightened his body and put away the smile on his face.
It wasn't until Ange came closer that he asked, "Have you confessed everything?"
Ange took a deep breath and said, "I've confessed everything!"
"Then tell me, what's going on?"
Ange handed over a confession, and as Roy was reading it, he explained in detail: "According to Regan, he was in charge of the Raymond family's trade, transportation, and financial income and expenditure.
Every day, a large amount of money passes through his hands.
At first, he was able to control himself and maintain his loyalty, but his second son, who was studying in the Bonaparte Empire, developed a gambling habit.
"The ransom letter from those people actually reached the flower collar and landed in his hands, along with a finger of his second son."
"He had no choice but to take a portion of the money he handled. He thought he was being clever, but who would have thought it was all a setup."
"When Fenrir came to us, he used this as a threat to force Lord Regan to do his bidding!
At first, it was just things like cutting in line, arranging shipments, and tax evasion, which weren't serious, so Regan helped out."
"Later, their demands became more and more excessive, and he became less willing.
It was during this process that those people discovered Lord Regan's intentions, and ultimately used the promise of knighthood as bait to lure him into complete rebellion! "
Roy asked, "How long did this process last?"
"At least two years!"
"Two years, it seems like a long-term plan!"
Luo Yi said this and asked again: "What happened next?"
"Later, thanks to Lord Regan's cover-up, those people were able to hide in Brussels without being discovered by anyone.
And in the surrounding manors and villages."
"After all, this is a war of destruction against the Raymond family. Even if we only recruit strong men, we still need enough people to help.
Without Lord Regan's cover, it would obviously be impossible for them to completely hide their whereabouts."
"Of course, because it was all arranged by Lord Regan, so although he didn't dare to get to know those people in depth, he was able to glimpse some of the truth from clues."
"That's why he's so certain that 'nobleship' isn't just an excuse, but the reason they can actually do it!"
Luo Yi nodded slowly: "The three major marquis families, some great nobles of the Bonaparte Empire, and the Church of the Sun God...
This scale really shows respect for the Raymond family, and it can also scare Lord Regan into obedience."
Turning around, Luo Yi asked again, "What is Fenrir's identity?"
"Fenrir Castro, a branch of the Castro family, is a real baron with real power and a hereditary fiefdom.
However, this one seems to enjoy doing business, traveling around and back and forth between places."
Ange hesitated a bit, but still asked, "He was a true noble after all. If he died here, wouldn't it be easy to explain?"
"Confess? Why do you want to confess?"
Luo Yi had a strange look on his face: "Fenrir's death has nothing to do with us? Who knew he would run to my city of Brussels?
Ask those who sent him if they dare to come to me and ask for people?
Do you dare to admit that it was he who asked Fenrir to bring the plague?
Do you dare to admit that they were responsible for the Lion Castle incident?"
"If I don't dare to admit these, then Fenrir won't come to me, so what does it matter if I'm a noble?"
“To put it bluntly, Fenrir is just a fool who is used to being domineering in the Norman Duchy and has never seen the cruelty of the world!
You really think you can do whatever you want just because you're a noble. How ridiculous!"
Ange asked again: "Where is the body?"
"Just find a random graveyard and throw it away. Make sure no one finds it!"
Having said this, Luo Yi looked at the Iron Knight and the Flame Sword Saint and said, "I still don't have any evidence, but do you still think the Church of the Sun God was not involved?"
Iron Knight Phil Zeke waved his hand and said, "There's nothing more to say. We'll help you kill Bishop Virgil Berry."
"Together!"
The rumble of the carriages was heard, and at the end of the sight, the pack horses carrying goods returned again.
Luo Yi stretched his body and said, "Let's go, let's go, we still have to move some things."
"Speaking of which, our ancestors were really cowardly. They only considered safety and didn't consider that transportation was too troublesome!"
Behind him, Ange seemed to remember something and said, "My Lord Earl, what about Lord Regan?"
"What else can we do? Kill him!"
"He can't accomplish this alone. All those under him who are involved, who know the truth, and who even take bribes, should be arrested!"
"Then, when the army sets out, they always have to kill a few people as sacrifices, and they are just right!"
At this point, Luo Yi paused, turned around and said, "By the way, you should arrange for someone to kill Regan's two sons as well."
"To commit such a betrayal, one must pay a high price!"
"It's only fitting that the whole family should be wiped out!"
…
Time passed quickly, and three days later.
It was originally planned to take two days to prepare, but the arrest of Lord Regan Durant and a group of professionals under his command still affected the progress of the work.
Therefore, the heritage of a thousand-year-old family is reflected in all aspects.
For example, the male servants in Lion Manor have actually been carefully trained.
It's not a big skill, but being able to read and write and be proficient in arithmetic are necessary.
Butler Hoover directly took over the financial power of the Raymond family, temporarily promoted some people, and placed them in different positions. After a little adjustment, he got things in order.
It only took one more day to prepare all the supplies.
The speed is beyond imagination, and Butler Hoover's ability is also beyond imagination!
Until the third day,
morning,
Luo Yi put on the torturous full set of armor again, mounted his tall horse, and headed out of the city with his own legion of knights under Lilia's reluctant gaze.
Along the way, he was seen off by countless people who presented him with flowers. Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and cheers, he seemed to have returned victorious.
Of course, there are also some inconsistencies.
For example, along the way, there were wooden stakes erected with bleeding heads hanging on them.
The most eye-catching one was Lord Regan.
Although this person does not have a hereditary title nor is he a knight, he is in charge of the purse strings and is also the right-hand man of Earl Carl Raymond. In this Flower Territory, he is definitely a very prestigious person.
Even true nobles had to be respectful enough in front of him.
Not many people in Brussels know this person. Even ordinary people know that he is a big shot.
But now, his head was hanging there, his eyes wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.
Of course, the news known to these civilians was that this person was killed because of corruption and bribery.
Countless gold coins were found in his manor, and he was discovered by the Earl and eventually beheaded in public.
However, those vassals and knights all knew that this man was a traitor to the Raymond family and deserved to be put to death.
They didn't feel any sense of grief. One of the virtues of chivalry is loyalty. As traitors, beheading is the least they can do.
When the large army left the city of Brussels and marched along the avenue, they ran for dozens of miles and caught up with another team.
All of them are militiamen who are wartime signs. To put it bluntly, they are soldiers who train in their free time and farm in their busy time.
With armor and a spear, it looks quite decent.
The Raymond family did organize training, and at least they were much better than those pure serf soldiers.
This is the main body of the army.
Even though the knights are powerful, you can't rely entirely on them in war.
In addition, there are a large number of pack horses and carriages pulling various supplies.
The two teams reunited and were considered complete. They headed east along the main road.
However, when no one knew, the leader of this army had already left the team under the cover of Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke.
Roy, leading Oliveira, Phil Zek and Otto, watched the large group disappear from everyone's sight.
Otto finally spoke: "My Lord Count, where are we going now?"
"If the news is correct, the bishop should be in Sunset Town now!"
The second update is here, and I will write the third update. I will try my best to finish it before 12 o'clock!
