Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

"Raison nearly killed me twice."

In the study, Luo Ning talked about his dispute with the Thain Territory.

"The first time was outside Hillwood Town. He wanted to use Prince to kill me. Although he was killed by me, Feliton came from behind and made me feel the threat of death for the first time."

At that time, the strongest person under Luo Ning was McCann, just an intermediate knight.

"The second assassination was this time. If it hadn't been for the black tiger, and if I hadn't used the wind of detection to check in time, I would have been seriously injured even if I didn't die."

"Since he has repeatedly tried to kill me, I don't have to hesitate anymore. Now is the best time to take the initiative."

The three knights, Redal, McCann and Tom, could not help but hold the hilts of their swords. The showdown was finally about to take place. Many of them knew that such a day would come, but they did not expect that it would come so quickly.

"Sir, when are you going to take action?" Redal asked.

Luo Ning directly gave a date, "Let the knights and guards spend the end of the year and the New Year's celebration well. On January 1 next year, Ruidal, you will lead the attack on the Black Collar Tribe."

The reason why we chose this day to celebrate the anniversary was that on the one hand, Leisen himself was not in the territory, and on the other hand, at this time, Luo Ning had successfully broken through and became a bronze knight and a great magician.

At that time, Ruidal would no longer be restricted and would naturally break through. He could beat Rayson as a senior, let alone after a breakout.

While talking, Ronin looked at McCann and Tom.

"You two need to accompany me to Wushan Castle, so you won't be able to participate in the battle to capture the Black Collar Tribe."

Fortunately for McCann, he had already made such preparations, but Tom was dumbfounded, "Sir, although I am not strong, I am still willing to contribute to the capture of the Black Collar Tribe. Please give me this opportunity!"

His eyes were full of desire for battle. Only on the battlefield can a knight build glory.

"You have to go to Wushan Castle with me to accuse Baron Leisen of the crimes he committed against me."

Luo Ning smiled and said: "If nothing else happens, after you come back this time, you won't have to wear the mask on your face anymore, and you can also restore your previous name, Malte."

Although Tom was born in Hillwood Town, he was once Prince's subordinate and participated in Prince's interception and killing of Ronin.

Luo Ning kept Tom in order to one day play the role of a witness.

Tom originally wondered why he was asked to come back with the commander this time. It turned out that the lord had such an arrangement.

"Sir, you still remember my name."

He was a little excited. Recently, everyone called him Tom. Even he himself had almost forgotten the name Malte.

"But whether I wear a mask or not, I will be named after you from now on. 'Tom' will be my name for the rest of my life!"

Luo Ning raised his eyebrows, this kid really knows how to talk.

"This is your free Tom."

Luo Ning turned the topic back to year-end arrangements.

"The annual celebration of Huitu Village will be held as usual. In addition, the competition between knights and guards can be held in advance. Sufficient recovery will be reserved, and all promised rewards will be given out."

Mentioning this, Luo Ning couldn't help but look at Tom. If the other party didn't go to Hillwood Castle with him, with Tom's level, he should be in the top three among the junior knights.

This arrangement caused the other party to miss out on a few gold coin rewards.

Next, he discussed the battle plan with Redal and McCann.

The purpose of using troops against the black-collar tribe this time was to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared, and to strike when the other party relaxed their vigilance and indulged in the atmosphere of the New Year celebrations.

Therefore, before deciding to take action, the information about the attack must be kept confidential.

"Sir, when it comes to the black-collar tribe, I have something to report to you."

Rydal said: "Baron Leisen once asked Joffrey to promise me manor, money, beauties, etc., hoping that I would follow him."

Joffrey, the leader of the Black Collar Tribe, Ronin had some impressions of this man. But he didn't expect that Leisen would actually set his sights on Redal.

Indeed, a high-level knight who could defeat a bronze-level knight would be a target no matter where he was.

If Leisen can really convince Redal to stab him in the back, it will not only enhance the strength of the Thane Kingdom, but also weaken the strength of Luo Ning, killing two birds with one stone.

But he never thought that Luo Ning, Redal and others were connected by a soul contract, which was completely different from ordinary followers.

It can be said that the existence of Ronin is the primary condition for maintaining the existence of Redal, McCann, and Elrond in the world.

Anyone would betray, but not the three of them.

"If Leisen hadn't hired someone to assassinate me and given me this opportunity, I might have arranged for you to be an undercover agent with him."

This is actually a good choice.

Luo Ning joked: "It's a pity that you lost an opportunity to follow the strong."

The three knights in the study couldn't help laughing.

Ruidal said: "A knight who is only over fifty years old and only at the bronze level is far behind you, my lord."

Leisen's qualifications are only average, and he became a baron relying on his family's background.

If his background was more ordinary, he would probably be able to become a canonized knight in his lifetime.

"Sir, although I will not follow Rayson, the leader of the Black Collar Tribe, Joffrey, may follow you."

"Oh?"

Luo Ning was a little surprised, "How do you say that?"

"I had a brief contact with Joffrey. This guy looks different from the gentle Horn and Jenny couple. He should be more pursuing."

"I deliberately provoked Joffrey that day, but I just didn't know if it would have any effect."

Rydal recounted in detail what happened on the border that day.

Luo Ning nodded secretly.

In any case, the Black Collar tribe is the strongest among the savage tribes. Apart from Rayson's help, Joffrey must have played a big role in it.

Although Joffrey is now loyal to Rayson, his background is simple and there are no complicated power relations behind him, so he is a relatively worry-free recruitment talent.

As for pursuits and ambitions, except for the three Ruidals, everyone else following Luo Ning has more or less pursuits and ambitions. This is not a bad thing.

Luo Ning doesn't have many high-level knights at his disposal right now. If he can subdue Joffrey, it will be of great help to him.

"If you have the opportunity, you can have more contact with Joffrey. It would be best if the other party takes the initiative to surrender. If the other party is unwilling, then first capture the black-collar tribe and then recruit him."

"it is good!"

Rydal considered whether to cross the border before the anniversary and ask Joffrey out for a few talks.

If Joffrey could be captured before attacking the Black Collar tribe, things would be much simpler.

But what they didn't expect was that Joffrey was no longer in the Black Collar Tribe, and the knights guarding the Black Collar Tribe were replaced by members of Feliton, Fenris and their knight squad.

Joffrey was arranged to stay with Leisen and accompany him to Wushan Castle as an escort.

The reason for such a transfer was precisely because Redal's words were heard by the Unai knight who was following Joffrey that day and reported back to Swamp Town.

Joffrey was also very innocent. His appointment with Redal was purely arranged by Rayson, but he did not expect to be suspected in the end.
