The drizzle from the sky is still falling slowly, showing no signs of stopping.
Many carriages were parked on the increasingly muddy road. The carriages were no longer limited to staying on the road. They formed a large circle with each other, incorporating many farmland parts into the circle.
Many knights stood on the outside to guard, and more guards and knights spread out, rushing in all directions like ants.
Without the diligent search of these knights, the current situation would be very dangerous.
Because they don't know if the enemy's magic cannon can still fire another shot.
Within the circle, the female relatives and younger people stayed on the outside. The tyrannical knights and vassals stayed on the inside. They gathered around a wreckage, silently.
Many knights and guardian knights knelt down on one knee, their faces covered with something that was either rain or tears.
The baron and the baroness were killed.
The magic cannon accurately hit the carriage the baron and his wife were riding in, sending the coachman and two knights away together.
The beam rushed directly, turning the carriage and the baron and his wife into dust, leaving only a few wreckage. The explosion point was in another place not far away.
It was simply that Alice, Philip, Latin and other Baron's children sat in several other carriages, so that the Baron would not be extinct.
But the problem is still very serious.
Knight Gandall died and he had no heir. The ownership of the knighthood will be a dispute. It stands to reason that the baron will announce that Sicia and Gandall will become the new generation of Knights of Gandall soon.
But now even the baron is dead.
Two big figures in Barton's territory suddenly died, leaving a knighthood and a baron title vacant.
Everyone present was silent, and they all felt that a mountain rain was approaching.
"Where is your father? Why are you doing all the recent actions of the Pompeii family?" Naz Wilson looked at Luther gloomily and asked.
"My father went to the endless forest, and there is still no news." Luther bowed to the current first vassal and replied.
"How can a knight lord go to the endless forest so easily? He has no sense of responsibility, especially at this time."
Naz, Wilson scolded.
Luther could not refute.
Because the Pompeii family is indeed a knight vassal under the Barton family, and has been protected by the baron for generations. Now that Barton has led such a big thing, the contemporary Pompeii knight Thor and Pompeii are missing.
This is an irrefutable dereliction of duty.
However, the gloomy Knight Wilson did not seize the Pompeii family's pigtails and harp on them endlessly, as that would be meaningless.
"Now we must first determine the next generation of Knight Gandall, and successfully invite Knight Philip to become the new baron, and send someone to report to the consul Count of Libya and the king. And request the Count of Libya to send someone to investigate the cause of the baron's death, regardless of
I always feel that tracing who the other party is is too weak based on our strength."
Naz, Wilson said methodically.
In the current situation, only he has the ability to control the situation and give orders.
"Before this, the Baron has sent a wave of knights to the Golden City and asked the Count of Libya to send people to protect the territory."
One of the guardian knights said.
"What if this group of people is intercepted on the way? Send someone else in disguise to go to the Golden City." Naz Wilson said.
"yes."
The guardian knight said.
"Pack it up immediately. Let's go back to Kaiyue City and hold a meeting to let Knight Philip inherit the title of baron and determine the next generation of Knight Gandall."
Naz, Wilson said at last.
"yes."
Everyone, including Luther, responded, and the team began to set off again, but this time the vigilance was much tighter. Many knights were scattered around the team to ensure that no one was ambushed.
Soon after, the team arrived at the City of Victory and entered the hall of Barton Castle. All qualified people entered the hall, including the representatives of the Pompeii family, Luther and Pompeii, and the knights of the seven major families.
The vassals of Barton, the leaders of the guardian knight families, and the children of the barons.
There is also Sisia, the Knight of Gandall who seems destined to become the next generation of Knights of Gandall.
Those who are not qualified are waiting outside the castle.
There were more than fifty people entering the castle. The male and female servants were busy arranging chairs. After entering the hall, Naz and Wilson said to Philip and Barton, "Mr. Knight, the matter is urgent now, you can sit in that seat."
Naz Wilson pointed to the Baron's position.
"Okay." Philip Barton, the eldest son of the Baron who looked somewhat similar to the Baron and inherited the Baron's timid character, looked pale and at a loss at this moment.
Seeing Naz Wilson's instructions, he quickly nodded and sat in the Baron's seat.
The knights who entered the hall were divided into two rows. Among them, the vassal knights headed by Naz and Wilson sat on the right. The second row was Sicia and Gandall, and the third row was Luther and Pompeii.
.
Sitting on the left are the guardian knights, led by the knight captain.
"Hisoka, Ruffin."
The Ruffin family is a family deeply trusted by the Barton family. The past knight captains of the Barton family are all descended from the Ruffin family. The Ruffin family is responsible for protecting the baron and managing the entire guardian knight family sequence.
In terms of status, Hisoka and Ruffin have the strength to compete with Natsu and Wilson.
Moreover, Hisoka, Knight Commander Ruffin, also possesses the strength of a high-level knight.
Luther didn't have much contact with this knight commander. At first glance, this knight commander should be a silent person, a person who can do things without speaking.
Such people are very low-key and don't like to be in the limelight.
So the person currently presiding over the meeting is still Naz Wilson.
In addition to the servants of the Barton family, Alice, Barton, Latin, and Barton also sat down, but they sat on one side of Philip and one on the right of Barton.
Latin looked a little sad and his face was very pale.
Alice.
Um.
Luther felt that the eldest daughter of the baron did not care about the death of the baron and his wife and was currently pretending to be sad.
Anyway, Luther felt that although he was ranked third because of the reputation of the Pompeii family, as a junior, he should be the main one in this meeting of the Barton family.
And this meeting should be uneventful.
Lucy and Barton are far away in the Golden City. He seems to be vying for the position of baron. At this time, it is too late.
The baron basically belonged to Philip.
There is no one competing with Sithia and Gandall for the title of Knight of Gandall, so the meeting will end soon. The question is what state the Barton Territory will enter next.
Face the threat of unknown enemies.
Who is the other party?
Lucy, Barton?
Naz, Wilson?
Luther felt that the suspicions of these two people were very small. Luther still knew something about Lucy and Barton. No matter how much this man wanted the title of baron, he would never attack his father.
If a son could gain power by killing his father, then the whole of Prussia would have been in chaos.
Naz Wilson had reason to murder Barbana and Gandall, but had no reason to murder the Baron.
Now it seems that the possibility of a new party is very high.
Will the new party established with the intention of overthrowing the aristocratic rule of the Kingdom of Prussia finally take action against Orange?
Luther felt very heavy in his heart.
But the development of the situation exceeded Luther's expectations.
