Richard's words made Lint fall into silence. As a Marquis of the Lanster family, it was impossible for him to say that he had never had any ideas. The more capable and thoughtful a person like Lint, the more he felt in his heart.
arrogant.
Why didn't Lint think about this position in his heart? When Weiru was there, Lint might have thought he was a little stupid, but he still had to admit that as the eldest brother among them, Weilu's prestige was still sufficient, as was his strength and character.
Everything was fine, and he didn't have much objection to inheriting the position of Marquis.
But because Marquis Wade and Weilu died in battle, the successor is now James, whom Lint has always disliked. It's strange that Lint has no idea in his mind. It's just that according to the rules of the kingdom, Lint is not even qualified to fight.
, in the eyes of everyone, he left Piaoxue City in despair.
"This is against the rules of the kingdom."
Although he had some thoughts in his heart, Lin Te did not agree immediately. People like Lin Te are sometimes limited by the environment and the times. They still respect the rules of the kingdom for hundreds of years, but like Richard
But it is easier for people to jump out of this limitation and consider this issue directly from the perspective of strength.
"The rules of the kingdom are not applicable in the Northland now. If you want to abide by my rules, just tell me whether you want to be the Marquis of the Northland."
Richard's character rarely shows arrogance. Lin Te, who thought he had figured out Richard's temperament, was a little surprised when he suddenly spoke arrogantly. After thinking about it carefully, he came to his senses. Where is the kingdom now?
There are also means to restrict the Hunter family. The whole Northland is not what Richard says. The rules of the kingdom are useless in the Northland.
Lin Te, who had reacted, no longer hesitated, nodded decisively, and replied with one word:
"think!"
"Hahaha, okay! From now on, you, Linte, will be the new Marquis of Beidi. Is this enough to repay the last war zone commander?"
When Richard was talking about the ogre disaster, the Lanster family made a stupid move and divided the northern lords into several war zones to resist the ogres. With the help of Lint, he gave Viscount Sauter a leadership position.
He successfully integrated several nobles around the Hunter Territory. Lint's wave of assists saved him a lot of trouble. At that time, Lint was not as greedy as the Lanster family elders, but asked for help.
He was a favor, and this time he happened to return it.
"Just give it a try."
"It's enough to do it just barely. From now on, Linte will also be a Marquis."
This scene is funny. A marquis promised his subordinates the position of marquis, but no one around him felt any disobedience. The strength of the Hunter family had long exceeded the limit of a marquis.
…
Piaoxuecheng
There had just been another fierce fight in front of the Hou Mansion. When facing the soldiers organized by the Elders, James still had some resistance, but when facing Ou Ze's first army, he didn't even have the ability to resist.
All gone. In a sense, the people of the First Army only recognized Ou Ze and not the Marquis of Beidi. Twenty thousand troops entered the city and cleared the area around the Marquis's Mansion. They placed heavy equipment and the personal guards in the Marquis' Mansion.
Half of their courage has been lost.
The posture and number were not comparable to those of the earlier Council of Elders, and the remaining three legions did not respond to the movements of the first legion and continued to pretend to be dead in their respective stations. The three new legions created by James were really
It was penetrated too deeply by the Council of Elders, and it was completely unable to command at the critical moment.
As you can imagine, the soldiers of the First Legion filed in through the gate that had not yet been repaired. Faced with this crushing numerical advantage, the guards of the Hou Mansion symbolically resisted for a while and then most of them were captured without mercy.
There were some diehards who followed James and resisted until the end.
Dozens of corpses were piled on the ground in the courtyard of the Marquis Mansion. Only James was captured alive because of Ozer's order, and he was surrounded by two knights from the First Legion and a large group of soldiers.
"kill!"
"Come on! Kill me!"
"You rebels!"
James, who was covered in blood, looked crazy at this time. His fighting spirit had been exhausted, and he must have suffered a lot of injuries. His movements of swinging the sword were a little crooked. Let alone the knights, ordinary soldiers might be injured at this time.
He could block his attack. If he hadn't been a Northern Marquis, he would have been chopped into pieces.
"clang!"
"boom!"
When James swung his sword again and tried to attack a soldier next to him, a long sword easily caught his weapon, and then a huge force came. James was completely unable to steady his sword and had no choice but to let go.
Then the person who came was not polite and kicked James. James, whose physical strength had been exhausted to the limit, fell to the ground and didn't want to move, and finally stopped.
"Ou Ze, you traitor!"
"Rebel? No, my loyalty to the Lanster family has never diminished. It's just that you are not worthy of representing the Lanster family. Do you think so, Elder Igor?"
"James, please stop being stubborn and just wait for Master Richard and Master Lin Te to arrive in Piaoxue City."
"Old man? Do you think that if you take me down, you guys will have a chance to get your hands on the title?"
"That has nothing to do with you."
"Someone, take him down!"
The soldiers who had been prepared quickly tied James up with special ropes. No matter how much he yelled and cursed, they ignored him and were directly taken to the dark room of the Marquis Mansion for custody.
This was originally a place used by the Marquis to punish servants who had committed crimes, but in the end it was also used on James.
"Commander of the Ozer Army, we still need you to maintain the city these days. Don't let anything happen."
"Don't worry, as long as nothing happens to your three legions, there won't be any trouble in Piaoxue City."
"That's good…"
…
At night, Piaoxue City was originally the most prosperous city in the North, with some nightlife. However, two battles broke out around the Hou Mansion in the past two days. The First Army Corps is still patrolling the city. Anyone with any brains is old.
Staying at home and not daring to go out, the whole city seems to be dead at night.
Jaime, who was imprisoned in a small dark room, had completely lost his fighting spirit. After recovering his physical strength, he did not use the Qi-Entraining Technique to restore his fighting spirit. He was restrained and paralyzed in a pile of dry firewood with his eyes blank.
"who?"
"it's me."
At this time, there was a movement outside. Someone was approaching, which alerted the guard outside the door.
"It turns out to be the third young master."
The person who came was the third son of Marquis Wade and Lint’s third brother, Andrzej Lanster. He was the least significant of Marquis Wade’s sons. In terms of strength, he was not as good as the eldest and second son.
The strength of the quasi-cavalier, in terms of management ability, is far inferior to that of Linte.
Although the guards still addressed them as Third Young Master, the guy in their hands did not relax at all. They didn't really recognize the Lanster family.
"Why are you here so late, Third Young Master?"
"I came to see my second brother and bring him some food. It's been a day and none of you have brought him any food."
"Third Young Master, Lord Ozer's order is that no one can enter. Besides, Lord James is a knight. He won't starve in a day or two. You'd better go back."
"Why, in this Marquis Mansion, why don't I come and bring some food to my second brother?"
There was some dissatisfaction in Andrzej's words. In the past, these soldiers would have been immediately frightened, but now the soldiers were expressionless and just said one more sentence:
"No one can enter without Master Ou Ze's order."
This attitude made it clear that it would not give Andrzej face.
At this time, Anjie reluctantly took out a warrant from his body and handed it to the leading captain. The other party took the warrant and looked at it carefully. The seal on it seemed to be Ou Ze's, but he didn't.
How can the squad leader distinguish authenticity from falsehood?
He hesitated and said.
"I'll ask Master Ou Ze again."
"Master Ou Ze has already rested. Do you want to wake him up for such a trivial matter?"
"I just went in to see my second brother, give him some food and then leave. It's not a big deal."
"Okay, hurry up."
After saying that, the captain asked a few soldiers to open the door and let Andrzej into the dark room. Andrzej didn't make it difficult for him. He entered for a while and then left quickly...
