Philip's words shocked the two nobles in the palace. They could indeed hear the sound of fighting outside the wall.
"how so?"
"This is impossible!"
So they scrambled to get in through the dug tunnel, and then they saw a scene they would never forget.
More than twenty corpses fell to the ground in various directions, some of them clutched daggers tightly in their hands, with expressions of horror on their faces.
A large area of blood gathered like a stream, making the world full of blood red, like a purgatory on earth.
These are the top nobles of the White Tiger Kingdom and the Shadow Leopard Kingdom in Hearthstone City, and now they have all fallen here.
No one thought that a festive banquet would end up in such a sad situation.
It took a lot of effort for several knights to identify the three bloody corpses polished by sand as the three Earls of Vernon.
Obviously, they became like this because they were affected by earth magic.
The weapons held by all the corpses were daggers that were easy to carry, so it was not a coincidence. Both parties had premeditated it.
Thinking of this, the nobles present quietly divided into two groups, wary of each other.
"Lord Patton, only Philip and his nephew survived. Is it possible that he has something to do with them?"
"Impossible!" Patton denied without thinking. "The two of them are only at the third level of strength. If you pick anyone here, you can easily crush them to death with one hand."
The knight from the White Tiger Kingdom did not answer the question. He was indeed overthinking it.
These dead big shots were at the lowest level of the fourth level. How could their deaths be related to two third level little miscellaneous fish?
However, all the nobles of the two countries died together, and this scene was too weird.
Suddenly, Paton saw a round solid body next to Vernon. Because it was stained with too much blood, he didn't pay much attention to it before.
Could that be what Philip said, the dragon core that was robbed by the adults?
Patton slowly walked over and quietly picked up what seemed to be a dragon core.
The moment he took it, he could clearly feel that the thing contained extremely huge and pure energy.
It really is!
Parton was simply ecstatic, but on the surface he remained calm.
It’s going to be developed!
The value of this dragon core is equivalent to the harvest of one's own viscounty for dozens or hundreds of years.
Unexpectedly, Patton's little move was noticed by the person opposite: "Patton, what did you pick up just now?"
Patton defended without changing his expression: "You are wrong. I just saw my shoes were dirty and bent down to wipe them clean."
"You're talking nonsense! I clearly saw you picking up something, please hand over the dragon core!"
As soon as he said this, more than a dozen eyes focused on Paton, and even the compatriots of the White Tiger Kingdom showed greedy looks.
Parton suddenly panicked and said quickly: "I warn you not to talk nonsense, you are slandering!"
"Oh, if I'm talking nonsense, you'll know if you take it away. Brothers, copy it!"
Unlike Vernon who attended the banquet, these people were all armed with handy weapons.
In an instant, a dozen bright long swords were all unsheathed.
"If you know the truth, take it out quickly and let us all get a share of the pie, otherwise!" The knight on the other side had a strong threat in his tone.
Patton sneered: "Heh, what if I don't take it?"
"So, you admit that what you picked up is a dragon core?"
Patton was stunned for a moment. He knew that he had been fooled and fell into the verbal trap set by the other party. At that moment, he no longer hesitated and said to the people around him: "You have a share in seeing them. Help me block them. When I get back, the dragon core will be released."
We will share the money from the sale equally."
After all, they are from their own country, and even if they are divided into several parts, it is still a big fortune. The knights of the White Tiger Kingdom nodded and agreed without thinking: "Okay!"
So, after Vernon and Andel, the noble knights of the two countries once again fought together, with swords flashing and fighting spirit flying everywhere.
Philip, who was about to go back to rest with the help of his servant, heard the sounds of fighting and killing coming from the wall again, and looked at Chris with admiration.
However, without Chris's secret interference, Patton's battle was not very fierce. It was just that both sides hurt each other, but it did not reach a fatal level.
Relying on his strong fighting power, Patton fought his way out of the siege alone and escaped from the passage.
But the nobles of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom also quickly got rid of the enemy and followed closely behind.
They quickly jumped out of the Viscount's Palace and ran wildly through the streets of the city.
There is a big physical gap between the aristocrats of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom and Patton, and they have yet to catch up.
Fortunately, after running a few streets, they saw their compatriots, and shouted loudly: "Catch him, he has a precious dragon core in his hand!"
All of a sudden, dozens of nobles came to attack Patton.
As a fourth-level knight, Patton is definitely not something that the second- and third-level guys in front of him can stop.
He slashed left and right, using several attacks to push back the enemies in front of him.
Patton took the opportunity to break away from the encirclement and quickly fled away.
"Damn it!" The nobles of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom jumped in anger, "You guys go back and call for people, and the others will continue to chase after me! The dragon core on his body is worth tens of thousands of gold coins at least, much more than ours this time
The total harvest will be much greater. After we sell it, we will enjoy the hot and spicy food!"
"What a ghost!" Patton looked at the group of guys chasing behind him and couldn't help but feel angry.
·········
In a certain hall.
Chris collapsed on a rocking chair and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Phew, so tired!"
Phillip ignored his physical pain, squatted down, and took the initiative to squeeze Chris' shoulders and beat his legs.
Now that he knows the horror of Chris, he is more considerate than serving Andel.
Not only did he single-handedly lead the dispute between the two countries, but he also showed extremely strong strength in the end. Even the fifth-level knight had no power to resist in front of Chris.
"No need." Chris quickly stopped Philip, and then took out two blood-stained cloth strips from his pocket, with white tigers and black panthers painted on them respectively, which were torn from the nobles of the two countries.
"Wash it for me. I'll use it later."
"Okay, I'll go wash it myself." Phillip ran out in a hurry.
After he left, a petite body walked out of Chris's body.
"Here, put on your clothes first." Chris threw a set of armor to Reimu.
The wide armor was put on Reimu's body, giving it a different kind of beauty.
Lingmeng leaned down and used his slender fingers to massage Chris's whole body.
