#223 - 214: Beheading, Going to War (Please subscribe, please vote)
The next day,
Early morning, at the ruins of雄狮古堡 (Xiongshi Ancient Castle).
Today, Loya came here with a large group of people, as well as pack horses and flatbed carts.
Then, he led Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil Zek, and Flame Swordmaster Otto in and out of the Raymond family's treasury, moving things out.
Weapons, armor, food...
Like ants moving house, they transported things out bit by bit through the dimensional pocket.
Seeing that the carriages were full, the four of them leaned against the mountain of supplies, chatting idly while waiting for the next round of carriages to arrive.
The Iron Knight asked with some confusion, "Earl, the family warehouse shouldn't be lacking in supplies, why do we have to take them from here?"
Loya supported himself on the boxes with both hands, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sky, feeling the warmth of the sun, as if countless small hands were massaging him, which was most comfortable.
He tilted his head slightly and said, "The reason I promised this battle, with the Raymond family bearing all expenses, is because I want my knights to fight without any reservations."
"The reason I'm moving supplies from here is not because I need them, but to tell everyone my determination."
"In this battle, I am willing to use the family's foundation to fight, using all wealth, resources, and means to win the final victory!"
"This is very important, because war is about morale!"
Saying this, Loya straightened his body again and said, "Besides, I think it's a great waste to leave such a large amount of wealth and resources there untouched.
In this era, of course, investing wealth in development, money making money, and interest compounding is the way to go!"
As he said this, he saw a figure walking quickly, facing the sun, making it difficult to see clearly.
Loya narrowed his eyes, his vertical pupils like eagle eyes, and finally saw the person coming.
It was Anger!
To chase him down here at this hour, it was clear that there were results!
As this thought emerged, Loya became energetic, straightened his back, and removed the smile from his face.
It wasn't until Anger was close that he asked, "Did they confess everything?"
Anger gasped for breath and said, "They confessed everything!"
"Then tell me, what's the situation?"
Anger handed over a confession and explained in detail while Loya looked through it, "According to Reagan, he was in charge of the Raymond family's trade, transportation, and financial income and expenditure.
Every day, a large amount of money passed through his hands.
In the beginning, he was able to restrain himself and maintain the loyalty he should have, but his second son, who was studying in the Bonaparte Empire, actually became addicted to gambling."
"Those people's extortion letters were actually sent to Flower Collar and into his hands, along with a finger from his second son."
"Out of desperation, he could only take a portion of the funds he handled, and he thought he was doing it cleverly, but who would have thought that this was all a setup."
"When Fenrir came to his door, he used this as a threat to get Lord Reagan to do things for him!
At first, it was just things like arranging for goods to be transported out of order and evading taxes, which weren't serious, so Reagan helped him do it."
"Until later, their demands became more and more excessive, and he became less willing.
It was also during this process that those people learned of Lord Reagan's thoughts, and finally used 'enfeoffment' as bait to make him completely betray us!"
Loya asked, "How long did this process last?"
"At least two years!"
"Two years, it seems like a long-term plan!"
Saying this, Loya asked again, "What happened later?"
"Later, it was also with Lord Reagan's heavy cover that those people were able to lurk in Brussels and the surrounding manors and villages with almost no one discovering them."
"After all, it was a war of destruction against the Raymond family, and even if the people drawn were strong, they would need enough people to help.
Without Lord Reagan's cover, it would be impossible for them to completely hide their tracks."
"Of course, because it was all arranged by Lord Reagan, although he didn't dare to delve into those people, he still gleaned some truth from the clues."
"This is also why he is sure that 'enfeoffment' is not just an excuse, but that they can really do it!"
Loya nodded slowly: "The three Marquis families, some of the great nobles of the Bonaparte Empire, and the Church of the Sun God...
This scale is indeed quite respectful of the Raymond family, and it can also scare Lord Reagan into obeying obediently."
Turning his head, Loya asked again, "What is Fenrir's identity?"
"Fenrir Castro, a branch of the Castro family, a real power-holding Baron with a hereditary fiefdom.
However, this one seems to like doing business, running around and traveling between places."
Saying this, Anger hesitated a little, but still asked, "After all, he is a real noble, and it may not be easy to explain his death here?"
"Explain? Why explain?"
Loya looked strange: "Fenrir is dead, what does it have to do with us? Who knows he ran to my Brussels?"
Ask those who sent him if they dare to ask for him in front of me?
Dare they admit that he let Fenrir come to spread the plague?
Dare they admit that the Lion Castle incident was their doing?"
"If they don't dare to admit these, then Fenrir won't come here, so what if he's a noble?"
"To put it bluntly, Fenrir is just a fool who is used to running rampant in the Duchy of Norman and has never seen the cruelty of the world!
He really thought that he could run amok with the title of a noble, which is ridiculous!"
Anger asked again, "What about the body?"
"Just find a cemetery and throw it away, make sure no one finds it!"
Saying this, Loya looked at the Iron Knight and the Flame Swordmaster and said, "I still have no evidence, but do you two still think the Church of the Sun God is not involved?"
Iron Knight Phil Zek waved his hand: "There's nothing to say, we'll just help you kill that Bishop Virgil Berry."
"Together!"
The carriages rumbled, and at the end of the field of vision, the pack horses carrying goods returned again.
Loya stretched his body and said, "Let's go, let's go, we still have to move things."
"Speaking of which, the ancestors were really cautious, only considering safety, and never thinking that transportation is too troublesome!"
Behind him, Anger seemed to remember something and said again, "Earl, what about Lord Reagan?"
"What else can we do? Kill him!"
"He can't do anything alone, including those under him who are involved, know the truth, or even embezzle and take bribes, arrest them all!"
The newest novels are first published at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!
"Then, when the army sets out, we always have to kill a few people to sacrifice to the flag, they're perfect!"
At this point, Loya stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, arrange it yourself, find someone to kill Reagan's two sons as well."
"For doing such a thing of colluding and betraying, we always have to pay a big enough price!"
"The death of the whole family is very suitable!"
...
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, three days have passed.
Originally, it was prepared in two days, but the arrest of Lord Reagan Durant and a group of professional personnel under him still affected the progress of the work.
Fortunately, the foundation of a thousand-year-old family is reflected in all aspects.
For example, the male servants in Lion Manor have been carefully cultivated.
They can't be said to have much ability, but literacy and numeracy are essential.
Butler Hoover directly took over the Raymond family's financial power, and temporarily promoted some people and placed them in different positions, and after a little running-in, he straightened things out.
It only took an extra day, and all kinds of supplies were prepared.
The speed was beyond imagination, and Butler Hoover's ability was also beyond imagination!
Until the third day,
Morning,
Loya once again put on that torturous full set of armor, rode a tall horse, and in Lilia's reluctant gaze, took his knightly legion out of the city.
Along the way, countless Flower Collar citizens saw him off, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and cheers, as if they had already returned victorious.
Of course, there were also inconsistencies.
For example, along the way, wooden stakes were erected, hanging with still-bleeding heads.
The most conspicuous was Lord Reagan.
Although this one was not a hereditary title, nor a knight, but he was in charge of the purse, and he was also Earl Karl Raymond's right-hand man, and he was definitely very popular in this Flower Collar.
Even real nobles had to maintain enough respect in front of him.
There are too many people in Brussels who know this one, even civilians know that this is a big shot.
But now, his head was hanging there, his eyes wide open, looking like he couldn't rest in peace.
Of course, in the news known to these civilians, this one was killed for corruption and bribery.
An unknown number of gold coins were found in his manor, discovered by the Earl, and eventually beheaded and displayed to the public.
However, those vassals and knights knew that this one was a traitor to the Raymond family and deserved to die.
They didn't have any feelings of sorrow for the rabbit and the fox, one of the knightly virtues is loyalty, and as a traitor, beheading is light.
And when the large army left Brussels and traveled along the avenue, running dozens of miles, they caught up with another team.
These are all militiamen conscripted during wartime, to put it bluntly, they are soldiers who train in their spare time and farm when they are busy,
Equipped with armor and spears, they look like something.
The Raymond family still organized training, at least much stronger than those purely serf soldiers.
This is the main body of the army.
Even if the knights are powerful, you can't rely entirely on the knights in war.
In addition, there are a large number of pack horses and carriages, pulling various supplies.
The two teams reunited again to be considered complete, they went all the way east along the avenue.
However, when everyone didn't know, under the cover of Grand Knight Commander Alfonso Zek, the commander of this army had already left the team.
Loya, leading Oliveira, Phil Zek, and Otto, watched the large army disappear from everyone's sight.
Otto finally opened his mouth: "Earl, where are we going now?"
"If the news is correct, that Bishop should be in Sunset Town now!"
The second update is here, the third update is coding, I will try to update before twelve o'clock!
