As soon as Renn finished speaking, the two knightly orders outside the Peyton family roared, and several torrents of fighting spirit instantly overturned the stone walls of the Peyton family.
Julian trembled as he looked at the Knights' overwhelming murderous aura, and said with a fierce gaze.
"I want to see His Majesty! I want to see His Majesty!"
"I acquired the Gray family's businesses through legitimate business competition! You... what right do you have to judge me?!"
"Your Majesty, please do something about this! If everyone acts like this, will this empire still belong to you...?"
Before Julian could finish speaking, a spear flew out instantly, piercing Julian's throat and leaving a bloody hole.
"Shut up!" Adrian snorted.
As someone with a certain political acumen, Adrian wouldn't let Julian finish speaking.
With Adrian's intervention, the two knightly orders immediately rose and rode into the Peyton family's territory.
The knights brandished their longswords, and with each swing, a member of the Peyton family fell to the ground.
After Julian's death, the Peyton family lost its leader and scattered, becoming the knights' prize money.
In less than half an hour.
The once-great Payton family was transformed into a bloodbath.
Severed limbs, head, and internal organs were scattered everywhere.
Granville approached Raine, bowed respectfully, and said...
"My lord, as you requested, there is not a single living being in the Peyton family."
“Even the noble pets kept by the Payton family were chopped in half by us.”
"Have you found the Payton family register?" Ryan asked.
“Adrian is looking,” Granville said.
"Yes, once you find the roster, check each person's name against yours, don't miss a single one!" There was no pity in Renn's eyes.
Granville nodded: "Yes."
"Send someone to summon the family's wandering knights to clean up the mess, after all, this happened right under His Majesty's nose."
"Too much blood is not good."
Granville nodded: "Yes."
After finding the Peyton family register, Adrian began matching heads one by one as Ryan had requested.
Adrian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the people on the roster matched the number of people they had harvested.
He walked up to Ryan, presented him with the blood-stained Peyton family register, and said...
“Sir, the roster matches the number of people. The Peyton family has no other offspring outside the family.”
Renn did not take the list, but simply nodded slightly and spoke with a smile.
"The Peyton family is a fairly large earldom, and their wealth should be considerable."
"Take Granville and the Knights of the Crown Guard and go treasure hunting."
A smile appeared on Adrian's lips. "Yes, sir."
Because Ryan demanded no survivors and no 'tongues,' Adrian and his companion searched for a long time.
In the end, it was only through Renn's use of detection magic that he was able to discover the treasure vault fifty meters underground and obtain all the treasures and resources of the Peyton family.
Rein sat in a luxurious rocking chair, looking at Adrian's brief list of treasures and resources and chuckled.
"Later, send thirty percent of the treasure to His Majesty. Adrian, you go and do it."
"The remaining 20% will be given to the four major knightly orders, including the Wandering Knights, and divided on the spot."
"Then give me 20% separately, and take the rest back to the Gray family treasury."
Adrian and his companion naturally had no objections and happily went to divide the treasure.
While Adrian and the others were dividing the treasure, the Wandering Knights had already cleaned up the mess left by the Peyton family.
The role of the Wandering Knights is to clean up the battlefield, so they are very efficient at handling such matters.
