Celestial Mage

Chapter 270 So Let It Be (24)

12 midnight.

All sounds are silent.

On the dark street, a cavalry galloped wildly on the streets of Silvermoon Castle with a torch in hand.

The crisp sound of horseshoes set off a burst of dog barking.

Soon, the cavalry came to the moon-watching garden where Fubosi was, and he shouted loudly.

"Marshal~ Marshal~ something big happened~"

The sound first alarmed the hounds in the garden, and then woke up the trusted butler Fubosi brought to the garden, and finally, the entire Mochizuki Garden woke up.

The cavalry were let into the garden.

The door opened, and under the leadership of the butler, Fubosi came out wearing only a nightgown.

Today, it was the first time he rested in Mochizuki Garden as an adult, and he just fell asleep for less than half an hour.

"what happened?"

"Xia Bolai~ Xia Bolai has controlled the First Legion~ He brought the soldiers of the First Legion over here!"

"What did you say?!"

Fubosi was shocked, and his first reaction was disbelief.

"Isn't Xia Bolai in Crescent Town? How could it be in Silvermoon Castle?"

The cavalry was also full of panic: "I don't know, but the soldiers of the First Legion have already come towards the garden!"

"How is it possible? How is this possible?!"

Fubosi could not accept this situation anyway.

He had just met Banks during the day and made the baron's promise, and the Silver Moon Sword God had promised, saying that he had no objection to becoming an earl.

Seeing that Fubosi didn't believe it, the cavalry was sweating profusely.

"Marshal, I saw this with my own eyes. Don't waste time, find a way to get out of the city and find the Second Army! The Second Army will always support you!"

It's all said to this point, and this cavalryman is called Holly, and he is Fubosi's confidant in the First Army.Fubosi couldn't help but not believe his words.

He subconsciously shouted: "Go invite Horus"

Only halfway through the conversation did he realize that Horus had been missing for a long time.

"Marshal, act quickly!" the cavalry urged.

Fubosi came back to his senses: "Get out of the city! Get out of the city now!"

At this time, it is natural not to go out of the city in the normal way, but to take the secret road, and this is the back road that everyone who does big things will prepare for.

At this time, Fubosi had vaguely heard the noise of the street outside, which further confirmed the cavalry's statement.

He didn't have time to make any further preparations, or even change his clothes, so he only took a sword to defend himself, mounted his horse, rode alone, followed closely behind the cavalry, and rushed towards the entrance of the secret passage.

At this time, he still couldn't believe it.

How could his ineffective younger brother, who wandered around brothels all day and only knew how to play with women, move so fast? !
How did he meet Banks?

And how did he convince Banks to support him?
Could he still promise greater benefits than the Baron?

He really didn't understand.

When he ran to a high ground, he looked down, and sure enough, he saw a long dragon made up of torches on the street, rapidly approaching Moon-watching Garden.

The cavalry had not lied, the First Legion had indeed betrayed him.

Strong anger flashed in Fubosi's eyes, but he still resisted the attack. He turned his head and asked the cavalryman Holly, "Why did Banks betray me?"

"It's Master Rosen. Master Rosen made an agreement with him to compete, and if he wins, he will support Xia Bolai. Master Rosen won."

"Rosen won? How could he win?"

How could a 16-year-old mid-level mage defeat a powerful warrior? Shouldn't he be killed by Banks in a single encounter?
"I don't know. I was standing on the periphery at the time, and I vaguely heard that it was because of some powerful potion that Rosen had taken."

"Potion. What kind of potion is so strong? Is it the high-level wisdom potion of the temple?!"

Thinking of this, a possible guess came to mind.

"Did the temple also support Xia Bolai? Why?!"

"Why did the temple intervene in this matter?"

Fubosi was a little absent-minded, but he was strong-willed, and he recovered in an instant, sneering and laughing.

"Okay, okay~ Since you all betrayed me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Go, get out of town!"

The First Army had betrayed him, and he still had the Second Army, which was his base camp. Every general was personally selected by him, and they were all his trusted confidantes.

Regardless of whether he can be the Earl of Silvermoon City or not, he will turn the Yellow River Highlands upside down!
Running all the way, without encountering any obstacles on the way, he escaped from Silvermoon Castle smoothly through the secret road.

When he came to the field outside the city, he turned his head and looked back at the lights of Silvermoon Castle, and Fubosi felt as if he was in a dream.

Just in the daytime, everything was going well for him, and it seemed that there was only one last step left before he received the baptism and blessing of the temple and was crowned as the Earl of Omexia.

Only after midnight, the situation changed drastically, but he had to escape from Silvermoon Castle in embarrassment.

"Xia Bolai Rosen, I really underestimated you."

He gritted his teeth and ran wildly on the dark dirt road. The cold wind of late autumn was blowing on his face, which was so cold that he had to squint his eyes.

His eyes were moist, probably blown out by the wind.

The second legion's station is about 30 kilometers away from Silvermoon Fort, and it can be reached in an hour if you drive fast.

The two ran wildly all the way, when they ran to the top of a hillside and looked from a distance, they saw the flames appearing in the distant fields.

It was the fire pile used for lighting and heating in the Second Army Battalion.

It's almost there, and there are less than 5 miles left.

The two galloped down the hillside, merged into the main road from a remote path, and galloped towards the camp.

'Woo~~'

The leading cavalry, Holly, stopped suddenly, forcing Fubos to tighten the reins and rein in the horse's head.

Fubosi asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Marshal, there are people on the road, there are many people."

Cavalry Holley's voice trembled.

"what?"

Fubosi's heart shook violently again, and he rode forward. With the light of the torch in the cavalryman's hand, he saw a large number of figures appearing on the road ahead.

'clang~'

Fubosi drew his sword out of its sheath: "I am the marshal ~ who dares to stop me!"

'Om'

It was the sound of casting a spell, and a bright ball of light appeared above the head of one of the figures, which rose to a height of five meters and then hovered motionless.

The light sphere sprinkled bright light, illuminating the field very brightly.

"Ah, Banksy Knight~~"

The cavalryman Holly pulled the reins suddenly in shock, and stepped back several steps in a row.

There are more than 50 figures in this group.

The one at the front is Banks, the Sword God of Silver Moon, and the one behind is Xia Bolai, who is strong and short, and the one who casts the spell is a young man, and behind the young man, there are 50 Silver Moon Rangers whose average level is at the middle level!
Seeing this situation, Fubosi's heart sank instantly.

The other party has fully calculated his actions.

'clang~'

He put his sword back into its sheath, looked at the three people in front of him one by one, and finally fell on Rosen.

The young boy has grown a lot taller than the last time he saw him, and his appearance is a bit older, but his demeanor has not changed from the last time he was in the barracks.

His eyes were indifferent, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.

He stared at Rosen and gritted his teeth.

"I regret it very much now. If I had known this is the case, I should have found an excuse to kill you when I was in the barracks."

Rosen smiled faintly: "I am very grateful for your magnanimity back then."

Fubosi looked at Banks again: "Why?!"

Banks spread his hands.

"I am loyal to the earl. The earl issued a secret order to pass the throne to Chapple. Although I personally think it is very absurd, since it is the earl's order, I can only obey it."

"Auntie issued a secret order? False, it must be a forgery!"

Xia Bolai reached out and took out the secret order from his pocket, and threw it directly to Fubosi.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you see it."

Fubosi reached out to take the secret order, and at a glance, he knew it was true. The paper material, font, and spell emblem were all true.

His mind was suddenly violently attacked.

"why?"

"Why is my aunt so partial?!"

"She has been eccentric since she was a child, and she is extremely patient with you, but she is indifferent to me!"

"I'm tolerant of you in every way, no matter what mistakes you make, you can tolerate it. But you are extremely harsh on me, and you will sternly reprimand me if you make a mistake!"

"Now that I've grown up, I'm still so eccentric."

"It's the ice dwarves I repelled, and I'm the number one heir. Why did you choose you as the earl?!"

"Why~~~~"

Fubosi roared loudly, tears were about to come out.

This is the family business of the Omexia family, Banks shrugged, stood aside, and entered passerby mode.

Xia Bolai took a step forward: "I admit that in terms of personal emotions, my aunt is indeed very good to me, just like a mother."

"But when it comes to family affairs, my aunt has never been confused. She has always trained you as the next earl. You have repelled the ice dwarves and made great achievements in battle. This is irrefutable."

"So, my aunt gave you Crescent Town to rebuild. As long as you finish this matter, you will be the undisputed heir to the earl."

"When you were running Crescent Town, I was just an idle guerrilla general, and Rosen had been living in seclusion in Silvermoon Castle, concentrating on studying spells."

"I never thought of competing with you for the title of earl."

Speaking of this, Banks interjected with a smile.

"I agree with that. Xia Bolai will go to Rose House as soon as he gets his salary."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xia Bolai's face, but now he has grown much better than before, and he soon calmed down.

"Brother, but you didn't handle things well!"

"Xinyue Town has been messed up by you, the townspeople are rebelling, and bandits are everywhere. This is not what a great lord should do!"

"And you can't manage a small Crescent Town, how can you command the entire highland?!"

"Are you planning to turn the highlands into chaos?!"

Fubosi was choked and speechless.

Xia Bolai took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Rosen and I took over the mess you left behind. We spent a lot of gold coins to buy supplies and went to the ruins of Crescent Town. At night, you let your cronies collude with the troll Digo and the Brotherhood to attack!"

Fubosi immediately denied: "No, I didn't!"

"Master Horus did this. If you are thick-skinned enough to deny that he is your confidant, then I have nothing to say."

Fu Bo was silent for a moment.

"Brother, there are not only me in the camp, but also more than 2 innocent townspeople. Have you ever thought about how many casualties would be caused if the group of rebels and Diego rushed into the crowd?!"

"Are you completely ignoring the lives of civilians for the sake of the earl?!"

Banks was also surprised when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Fubosi, but seeing his eyes flicker, he immediately knew that what Xia Bolai said was true.

He couldn't help but said: "Oh ~ Fubosi, I really didn't expect you to be such a person, be careful to mess with the Jingshi Temple."

If it was said that he chose to support Xia Bolai at the beginning because of the earl's secret order and the bet with Rosen, but now, he feels a little lucky.

The cavalryman Holly also looked shocked: "Marshal, you didn't do this, did you?"

Fubosi remained silent, which was an indirect acknowledgment.

Xia Bolai had the upper hand, and he said loudly: "The achievements of Crescent Town are obvious to all."

"There are more than 3 residents in Xinyue Town, and 1300 farmlands have been reclaimed. Most of the town has been built, and the fortress has begun to work, and no one is hungry because of it."

"Everyone lives and works in peace!"

"Everyone said I was a swinger, and everyone said these achievements were brought about by Rosen."

"Yes, these words are correct, I admit them all!"

"I really don't have any great skills, and I have many, many problems. I know myself."

"So, I am willing to delegate power, and I am willing to give full trust and support to those who are really capable, and let them do what they are best at."

"It's not like you, big brother, choosing a ridiculous and greedy brother-in-law to spoil the good situation you have worked so hard for!"

The words hit his ears like thunder, shaking Fubosi's mind, his body swayed, and he almost fell off his horse.

'crack bang bang~'

Silvermoon Sword God Banks applauded, and praised: "Count Xia Bolai, your performance tonight really impresses me."

"Now I know why Master Rosen supported you so firmly, because I was also convinced by you."

He turned to look at Fubosi.

"The Marshal, the Earl, the Mages Guild, the Temple, and the First Legion have all firmly supported Xia Bolai."

"If you don't want to become a bandit for the rest of your life and be beheaded by me, just admit defeat. I believe that with the kindness of Earl Chapolet, you will be able to live a prosperous life for the rest of your life."

Xia Bolai immediately made a promise.

"Brother, you take the initiative to announce your resignation from the position of Marshal, and become an idle rich man in Silvermoon Castle. You don't have to worry about anything. I will also provide you with [-] crowns of expenses every year."

"If your children have outstanding talents, I will also try my best to cultivate them and reuse them."

"After all, the glory of the family is eternal, and the glory of an individual is only a few decades. To create the glory of the family requires the efforts of every member of the family."

These words were so beautiful that everyone present was shocked.

Everyone clearly felt that Chapolei was indeed more suitable than Fubos to become the great lord of the highlands.

Fubosi looked at his confidant, Huo Lai, and saw that the other party's face had no fighting intentions, and he was actually persuaded.

He knew that he had completely failed.

Breathing out the turbid air in his chest for a long time, he only felt that his mood was waning.

"so be it."
