Phoenix Grand Lord

In terms of personal strength, Eppard is actually not too strong.

Now 50 years old, with abundant magic resources, he is only a level 3 awakening knight.

During the "Flor Massacre" 10 years ago, Eppard was only a Level 2 Awakening Knight.

He does not rely on personal strength, but on picking out weak persimmons.

While his eldest brother and other relatives led troops to fight head-on with the men of the Flor family, he sneaked around and led troops to sneak attack on the Flor family's mansion, taking all the elderly, women and children of the Flor family hostage. As hostages, forcing the men of the Flor family to lay down their weapons.

And when the men of the Flor family on the front battlefield laid down their weapons and declared surrender, he did not hesitate to kill all the old, weak, women and children of the Flor family, leaving no one alive.

Even the mother and the newborn baby were not spared.

When Edmund Ross was still hesitating about how to deal with the men of the Flor family who had announced their surrender, Eppard gave the answer.

Seeing that the matter had reached an irreversible point, Edmund could only order his men to clean up all the men of the Flor family to avoid future troubles.

Externally, they claimed that the Flor family was crazy and disloyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Church of Angels, while the Ross family only fulfilled its obligations.

As for how the Flor family was disloyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Church of Angels, the Ross family did not give an explanation.

However, after the Flor tragedy, Earl Red Jade only gave a symbolic condemnation, and then awarded the Marigold Territory to the Ross family.

The bishop of the Red Fei region of the Angel Church also supported the count's approach.

If there is no conspiracy involved, it will definitely be impossible.

The reason why Eppard, the "butcher" and "wife-killer" dared to be so fearless, had to do with the secret support of Earl Red Fei and the Church of Angels.

Eppard never fights against strong people, but always picks on weaklings or women.

Therefore, over the years, Eppard has never failed.

The opponents defeated by Eppard, without exception, could not escape the fate of being slaughtered.

Facing Eppard's aura, Geller, who was originally arrogant, was also trembling with fear.

If Geller hadn't really been unable to defeat Rowe, he would never have wanted to ask this uncle to help him regain his position.

Seeing Geller lowering his head and not daring to speak, Eppard's expression became even more gloomy and scary, "Our Ross family almost lost all our face by you! Tell me, why did it happen like this?"

Yes, why is it like this?

Geller himself wanted to find out.

He felt that he had done nothing wrong, but he was completely defeated.

Nathan, the "venomous snake in the wheat field" next to him, quickly defended the silent Geller, "It's not Lord Geller's fault, it's the boy Rowena who is too insidious."

Lord Eppard subconsciously clenched the black riding crop in his hand, "Who are you?"

Nathan quickly straightened his back and said, "To reply to Lord Eppard, I am Nathan Capworth - the current Lord of the Watch Farm Manor."

Eppard sneered, "Watchman Farm has been burned to ashes, and you're still the lord. What the hell are you doing?"

Nathan's face suddenly turned white, but he didn't dare to have an attack at all.

There's nothing wrong with what Eppard said, but now he's in trouble.

He can only wait until he conquers Merrill Valley, marries the fat widow, and becomes Geller's uncle before he is qualified to talk to Eppard.

So, Nathan smiled and chose to endure it.

Geller cleared his throat, "Uncle, I'm not making excuses for myself, but that Luo Wei is really powerful. However, we have almost used all his offensive methods. Luo Wei doesn't have bows and arrows now, so he probably doesn't have enough troops. We are all tired. Uncle, your reinforcements are here, and we will win."

Geller looked at the Lord's light armored soldiers behind Eppard, and then hissed, "Only 50 people? Uncle, you only brought 50 people to support us?"

Eppard said scornfully: "Isn't 50 people enough? My 50 people are regular lord soldiers."

Geller certainly knew the difference between regular troops and serf soldiers.

Logically speaking, manor-level lords can have their own private soldiers, but the number of regular troops cannot exceed the standard.

As the architect of the "Flor Massacre", Eppad relied on his dishonorable reputation to single-handedly push the Ross family into the position of Baron Marigold. Therefore, Eppad naturally ignored the manor lord's limit on the number of regular troops. Require.

On the surface, Epade has 100 regular troops, but in fact there are at least 200 regular troops, and 500 serf soldiers who can be mobilized at any time. Half of the serf soldiers are well-equipped light armored soldiers and archers.

And these regular soldiers who need to be paid can only be supported by the desperate families who eat widows.

It can be said that Eppard's Stone Forest Heights Manor is one of the top three manor lords in the Marigold Territory besides Baron Edmund.

Geller smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I know your regular army is very powerful, but Rowe is also very powerful. 50 men is not safe enough."

Edmund frowned and said, "Don't ask for so much, Geller. It's time for Edmund to use his troops. Most of my regular troops have been mobilized by Edmund. Moreover, I have to give Stone Forest Heights Manor no matter what." Leave some troops to protect the manor.

"What's more, I'll do the slaughter myself, which is enough to give Meilin Valley face."

Just as Geller was about to say something else, he saw a sudden commotion in the temporary camp.

Then, a Sanchalu Manor guard with blood all over his face stumbled through the crowd and broke into the room, then fell to his knees in front of Geller.

"Master! Master, something bad has happened! Your manor... has been burned down!"

"What?!" Geller was like being struck by lightning.

The news came too suddenly.

Geller was not mentally prepared at all!

Just in the morning, he vowed to easily take down Merlin Valley and share 70% of the spoils.

But now, not only did he fail to take down Merlin Valley, but his manor was also burned down!

Geller was filled with grief and anger, and grabbed the injured and bleeding manor guard, "Who! Who did it! Say it!!!"

The manor guard was so scared that he peed, crying and peing, saying, "Yes, yes, it was the Oracle Nathanos!"

Geller suddenly felt dizzy.

Isn't the Oracle Nathanos... Rowe?

But that's not right! Rowe is trapped in the Merlin Valley where even birds can't fly out!

Could it be that Nathanos is not Rowe?

Geller felt like his head was about to smoke.

The guard continued to cry and pee, saying, "Master! Nathanos distributed the food in your granary to the lowly serfs. He also stole your treasures and burned your mansion. He, he, he also killed the kind Lady Margarita and your two daughters!"

Bang!

Geller was so angry that he fell to the ground.
