Lord of Lowland

Chapter 24 Conversation at Earl’s Palace
Ten days later, the royal capital, the residence of Count Kasikund
In the earl's study, the earl had just finished his meal and was meeting a guest with great interest. This guest was very important, and the important earl did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

Sitting opposite the count was an old man with gray hair. He looked to be in his late teens and was depressed. He also spoke feebly, as if he was going to die at any time. However, no one who knew the inside story did not respect him.He is the king of assassins, the legendary master assassin Tiberon.

"I'm really honored that the Operation Master is willing to go out in person this time," the earl said with a smile.

There is nothing wrong with what the earl said. Although this master is usually not seen well, he is also a guest of the nobles in the capital. Once a person reaches a certain level, everything will be unfavorable, especially for assassins. Once an assassin arrives Legendary-level strength, even such a shameful profession will be flocked to by people.

All kinds of nobles have many enemies, and they all have political enemies who want to get rid of them quickly, so this kind of assassin is undoubtedly a sought-after existence even among the major nobles.

Especially for the territorial agent who colluded with the king, a person who could not be removed by nobles in a fair manner using conventional means, then this legendary level assassin was the most suitable candidate.

"Hehe, it's okay. When you are old, it's not a bad thing for your body to move your muscles and bones occasionally. Besides, I saw a lot of young people who surprised me this time, so it's a worthwhile trip." The old man Tiberon said lazily Said.

"Sir, do you mean Cecil?" the count said with a smile.

"I don't know their names, but there is a Paladin, a Dragon Vein Warlock, and a Necromancer. They are all talented people with great potential, and their future is limitless." The old man still said slowly.

Andy and Cecil went to the territory to inspect the earl. The earl knew it. When it came to the dragon warlock, the earl didn't take it seriously, but when it came to the necromancer, the earl's eyes widened in shock. Necromancer?How could there be a necromancer?

"Sir, how could there be a necromancer in Kent?" the earl asked hurriedly, with an expression of anxiety and urgency already in his words. Not a good thing.

"Your acting officer Henry is also a genius. He thought that you would find someone to assassinate him. It is really difficult for an acting official to hire too strong troops to protect himself, so he asked the necromancers of Diya Valley for help." The old man Stretched suddenly, said disdainfully.

"It's not surprising that Henry, a stupid pig, thinks this way, but Diya doesn't seem to need to protect him. I can't think of anything he can come up with to make Diya's heart beat. If he does too much, such as publicly killing the territory of the undead If your subjects make undead, then it is rebellious, and the king will not let him go first," said the earl.

The old assassin Tiberon shook his head: "Then you underestimate your agent too much. There are things in his territory that tempt him, and he doesn't need to kill living people, and he can secretly hand them over to the undead. It doesn't take much." people."

"What do you mean, old man?" the earl wondered, suddenly he remembered something "could it be"

"Has the Earl finally remembered that your ancestral grave is still under the jurisdiction of Wharton City? When I went there, the coffin of your ancestor with great military exploits was in the small living room in the backyard of Henry's mansion."

Even though he had already guessed and prepared himself mentally, the earl was still so angry by the news, "Henry, bastard, how dare you!!!"

"Don't worry, Earl, I killed 4 of the 3 terrifying knights who sneaked in, and the remaining one was killed by the friend you sent. The other necromancer was also injured by me. I saw it with my own eyes. He escaped from Henry's mansion, and I didn't kill him because I have always admired this kind of capable young man, and I am very optimistic about his future." The earl smiled and immersed himself in the memories of that day with relish. Looking at this, Henry's head on the table seemed to have just been cut off casually.

The earl was a little surprised. He didn't expect Cecil and Andy to be able to kill a terrifying knight who was at least level 8. After all, both of them were only in the early 3rd level. The ancestor's body was made into a death knight by Diya, so the earl would have no face to continue to hang out in the capital.

"Thank you, my lord, for taking the timely action to help the ancestors protect the remains. I am really grateful. Please take care of the agreed 100 million gold coins. This is the small reward you deserve." The earl said as he handed out the I bought a small box, and in the small box were 100 magic diamonds, definitely worth more than 100 million gold coins.

"I'll take the money, but I don't know if your ancestor's body can be kept." Tiberon returned to his lazy state.

"What's the matter? Is there any accident?" The earl was startled again, and asked hastily
"The undead are determined to get this corpse. When I left the city, I happened to see an army of undead marching towards the city of Wharton. It's really an army of skeletons. Although this army has a single type of arms, it can't be controlled by the defense of Wharton. In terms of strength, I'm not very optimistic." Tiberon's words already had a joking element.

"The undead army? How could they pass through the defense zone of the Knights of the Shield and reach the inland of the kingdom? If they attack the city, will the whole army of the Knights of the Shield be wiped out?" The count was shocked this time. Diya's necromancers attack the kingdom, and it is very likely that a full-scale war between the kingdom and Diya will break out. This is a big event.

"That's not true. As the kingdom's only regular army in the south, the Knights of the Strong Shield are still second to none. 10% of the troops there are paladins from the Temple of Dawn, except for the king's guards, which rarely have such a high percentage. The troops of the temple professionals. But the problem lies in a small section of defense defended by Henry, you know.

"I understand, that bastard Henry, but sending out a few terrifying knights to steal the body is completely different from sending out a large army to snatch the body. The former will bring shame to me personally at most, while the latter will humiliate the entire kingdom. Even if we attack Di now Ya's undead lord is not cost-effective. Afterwards, the kingdom will send troops to attack the undead lord in order to retaliate for glory. By then, the undead lord will have enemies who are also undead, and there will be overall revenge from the kingdom. Does he really not consider the consequences? ?" The earl's words became more severe.

"Hehe, Lord Earl really knows what to ask. Now the War Kingdom of the North and the Orc Kingdom has mobilized 20 troops, and the Devil's Gate Kingdom also has 300 troops defending. Although the war with the Eluk Empire has ended, the two sides The state of distrust still exists, and at least [-] soldiers are needed to defend the opponent. Where do you think the kingdom has mobile troops to attack Diya? In fact, it is because there is only one Knights of the Strong Shield on the southern line of the kingdom, but they want to The defense and the [-]-kilometer border of Diya, the military strength is really stretched, so I had to hand over a small section of the defense line to the deputy officials of the lords to help defend, did this happen?" Although this old man is an assassin, he looks right. He knows the military and political situation of the kingdom very well.

The earl did not say anything for a long time after hearing this. In fact, the earl is not ignorant of the current situation of the kingdom, but he still has a glimmer of hope. I have to say that the lord of Diya is very smart and chose a very good time to march. The troops attacking Wharton City were not very strong, but the earl of Wharton City's city defense was well aware of it. In addition, the lieutenant died without a leader, and it was almost impossible to stop an army of undead.

It would take at least three days for the Knights of the Shield to return to the defense of Wharton City after receiving the news. I am afraid that not only the corpses of their ancestors would have been transported back to Diya, but even the people of Wharton City Not one will be killed.Thinking of this, the Earl was also in a cold sweat.

Seeing the Earl's anxious look, Tiberon said nothing more but said goodbye. The Earl was actually dissatisfied with Tiberon. As a legendary figure, if he stayed in Wharton City to help fight back the enemy, There is no way that the undead troops in front of them can invade Wharton City.But the earl would never dare to say such things to Tiberon. First, the contract only said to kill Henry and did nothing else. In fact, Tiberon's character killed a few terrifying knights and was already giving himself a big gift. ; But this assassin's character is really weird, and he is afraid that he will offend this master and lose his favor out of thin air.

In the end, the earl had no choice but to compliment Tiberon and send him away. As soon as Tiberon left, the earl immediately jumped up and down like an ant on a heat pipe. The key is that he has no idea what is going on in Wharton now. It's normal. Under normal circumstances, it will take 20 days to get to Wharton City fast horse. Tiberon can come back from there in 10 days, which is extremely fast, but the situation there may have turned upside down after ten days. The earls could be robbed by the undead, and the legendary relics of their ancestors, a symbol of glory, might be made into death knights.

He immediately sent someone to find his daughter, and a few minutes later, her daughter came to his study.

"Ofilina, immediately gather all the private troops we can muster now, and come with me to Wharton City," the Earl said.

"Isn't that Henry's jurisdiction? Dad, didn't you send Cecil and the others to do things?" Ophelia said in confusion.

"Don't worry about Cecil, except for the big things in Wharton, the gods bless, the worst thing must not happen."
