Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 279

Master Victor Laurie, he claims to be a well-mannered old fritter;

But at this time, the chief mage of Shuangfengling looked at his boss with uncontrollable reverence.

——My lord, this is too wicked!
The death knight "Artificial Man No. [-]" was originally pulled up temporarily from the ruins of the Kemal Manor by the lord with the evil taste of revenge against the dead forest;
Later, when the large army of the imperial hunting team arrived suddenly, Shuangfengling played a fake punch with the "artificial man No. [-]" in order to disregard the relationship with the death knight and show his loyalty to the empire.

But Master Laurie never expected that when the end came, the lord could use the withered wood forest family emblem worn on the "artificial man No. [-]" to put another shit bowl on the head of the unlucky Earl Philip Netwan !

Master Laurie felt that what the lord has done has definitely gone beyond the scope of humanoids!
It's like stealing someone else's kitchen knife, using the kitchen knife to chop off the bitter master, and then publicly claiming that the kitchen knife was purchased by the bitter master's real name, so he chopped himself!
After a set of tricks, Earl Philip Netwan didn't even have a room for refutation!

It stands to reason that "the death knight has the withered wood forest family emblem" does not necessarily mean that the dead wood forest is really connected to foreign countries-there are still many problems in the logical chain;

However, the chief detective of the empire's magic world, Master Namisas of Northwatch County, insisted on using his reasoning ability to break through the sky, and made the obvious unreliable statement that "the one who is related to the death knight is the orc traitor who betrayed the empire" The inference is deeply implanted in the hearts of the nobles...

May I ask who is Master Namishas?

He is the chief mage of Beiwang County, a well-known good man, living fossil, and old man in the magic circle of the empire!
Who dares to say no to the suspect personally identified by Master Namisas?
Therefore, among the nobles present, even those who had concerns about the fact that "Earl Philip Netwand is an insider", hesitantly remained silent—after all, it would be a big deal to escort Earl Netwand back to the imperial capital. It is better to look for other evidence to verify the truth than to speak rashly now and become the target of public criticism.

As a result, the nobles of the empire watched silently. Master Namisas frowned and walked up to Earl Philip Netwand, and asked coldly:

"Philip, give us an explanation."

And Earl Netwan, who was surrounded in the middle of the crowd, had obviously noticed the angry eyes of the surrounding imperial soldiers and their shiny weapons that had been unsheathed——

——The nobles who are not as deep as the city government, these elites from various territories who are selected as hunting team members are often heroes who are eager for justice and righteousness. any sound;

What's more, with regard to the honor of Earl Netwan, the first impression he gives is not bad;

Compared to the young and handsome lord of Frost Maple Ridge, most people still think that Earl Netwan has a "rapist" face.

The angry stares of the crowd also obviously stimulated Earl Netwan, who was still arrogant just now.

Facing Master Namisas's stern questioning, Earl Philip Netwan, like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage, ruthlessly waved his hands and shouted angrily:

"Explanation! What explanation! All! It's that little bastard! He! He's the one—"

"Philip Netwan!" Master Namisas raised the volume, "Please tell me why the death knight summoned by the orc necromancer wears the family crest of your deadwood forest on his chest?! Why did you contact the inner ghost? The orc messenger, singled you out among all the people?!"

"No! No!" Earl Philip Netwan took two steps back anxiously and angrily, stretched out a trembling finger to the Xiahou official who was watching coldly, and wailed helplessly, "All! It's all them, Yi Ge The ghost of the Er family..."

"Evidence! Philip, where is your evidence?!" Master Namisas was obviously also irritated by Earl Netwan's "sophistry", and asked loudly, "Whether it is the death knight's family emblem, or the accusation of that orc deserter? , everything here is witnessed by all the nobles of the empire—you are so slandering a young lord here, but where is your evidence?"

"Me! How would I know!" Earl Philip Netwand obviously panicked, turned his head and shouted at his attendants and hunting team members, "Quick! Help me!"

A few waiters with freckles on their faces took two steps closer to their master hesitantly;
As for the hunting team members belonging to the Deadwood Forest, their eyes flickered and they did not respond to the lord's call at all.

Namisas looked at Philip Netwan with some pity and disgust, and sighed.

And the noble lord with the highest status here finally stood up and played a decisive role.

Jose Rivera, the Duke of Sanshuiwan, took two steps forward and said solemnly:
"Come on, take Sir Philip Netwan to the barn!"

"Ri, Master Rivera! No! You can't listen to that little bastard..." Seeing Duke Rivera's voice, the last line of defense in Earl Philip Netwan's heart collapsed:
While shaking his head, he backed away again and again until his fat back slammed into the cold and hard armor of the imperial knights.

Middle-aged, Duke Rivera of Sanshuiwan with a majestic Chinese character face stared at Earl Netwan with complicated eyes, sighed slightly, and said in a soft voice:
"Philip, it won't be long before the city defense army should send troops over—no matter what, let's go back to the imperial capital together and ask His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision, okay? You are an old nobleman of the empire, I believe you also have difficulties, His Majesty the Emperor will probably not……"

A certain bastard in the Shuangfengling formation suddenly shouted happily:
"Search his home! Check his old background! Find out his account book and see how much money was sent to the orc bastard!"

Hearing the speech of beating the dog in the water, the expressions of the nobles present were a little bit tense:

Just nearly two years ago, the Igor family of Eagle's Rest was ransacked for treason. At that time, Earl Netwan seemed to have made a fortune out of it. Unexpectedly, the current report, the Igor family's People are calling for copying the home of the deadwood forest again...

The righteous words of this loyal member of the Igor family certainly made the nobles of the empire feel emotional about the change of the king's banner on the top of the city, but it also let a trace of madness spread on Netwan, who was already on the verge of collapse. The Earl's eyes.

With red eyes, the five-year-old Earl of the Deadwood Forest pushed away the imperial knight who wanted to help him to the barn, and waved his arms in a chaotic way:

"You! You bastards! No! You can't! It shouldn't be like this!"

"What shouldn't it be, Philip?!" Duke Rivera asked loudly.

Count Philip Netwan was panting like a bull, and then suddenly let out a roar. Under everyone's horrified eyes, he took out a short knife from his arms and rushed towards the astonished Duke Rivera. past!

boom!
Everyone was dazzled for a while, and when they looked again, they realized that Earl Netwan, who had fallen into madness, had been overturned to the ground by Eldridge, who was standing aside.

Without hesitation, the commander of the Eastern Realm stepped on Earl Netwan's palm, causing the latter to let go of the dagger in his hand with a wailing pain;

Then Eldridge kicked the dagger out with one kick, bent his knees forward, and pinned Earl Netwan to the ground.

It wasn't until Eldridge completed the whole set of operations and completely controlled the frenzied Earl Natwan that the Sanshuiwan knights rushed forward to protect the frightened Duke Rivera behind the kite shield— —Of course, given that Earl Netwan has been suppressed by Eldridge, this act of protecting the lord seems a bit redundant at the moment;
But the imperial nobles present were still quite frightened by Earl Netwan's mad attempt to assassinate Lord Rivera.

"Natewan!" Master Namishas no longer had the kindness and kindness before, and shouted sharply, "What are you crazy about, are you possessed by a demon?! Do you know how serious it is to hurt a noble duke? offense?!"

But Duke Rivera, who was almost thrown in and out by a white knife with a red knife, showed full composure and aristocratic demeanor.

"Philip..." Duke Rivera waved away the nervous knight guards, stared at Earl Natwan on the ground, and sighed, "...Are you so afraid that your home is confiscated by the empire? Your home, What kind of amazing thing is hidden?"

The nobles of the empire who watched this shocking scene were all terrified in their hearts.

However, Earl Netwan did not respond to Duke Rivera's question.

Because, Earl Natwan, who was pressed under Eldridge's knees, just uttered a mournful wail, and then crimson blood mixed with foam gushed out of his mouth like a bank burst, The earl's roar was drowned in the depths of his throat, turning into a series of indistinct grunts.

Duke Rivera was stunned for a moment, and then moved his gaze down, only to find that a round of dazzling dark red was spreading from Earl Netwan's abdomen, seeping into the land of Kemal Manor.

Eldridge also noticed something was wrong at this moment, he hurriedly let go of his knees, waved and pushed Earl Netwan to turn over.

A huge blood-red gash passed across Earl Netwan's abdomen, which was shocking.

"Shocked... Shocked..." Eldridge seemed a little dazed. He first calmed down, then looked up at Duke Rivera and said, "Just now, this guy made a surprise attack on you just now. I am in a hurry." The next time I was not careful, ah, I didn't pay attention to the strength, my dark sword was, ah, a little fast..."

"Physician! Physician!" The attendants on the side shouted at the top of their voices, "Get the doctor quickly!"

Duke Rivera looked at the wound on Earl Netwan's abdomen, and then at Eldridge's blood-stained dark sword. He was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head sadly:

"You...you are also protecting me, Commander Eldridge, this is not your fault..."

The elf doctors rushed over, and surrounded the bleeding Earl Netwand and chanted the most powerful healing spell. Eldridge, who was pushed aside by the doctors, was full of guilt and self-consciousness. Responsibly, he walked back to the Shuangfengling team with lost steps...

... Then, when passing by the lord, he secretly gave the boss a high-five.

But even Xia Houyan is at a loss at the moment:
Could it be that Philip Netwan is crazy, and even pulled out his dagger to assassinate Duke Rivera?
Even if you were framed, you wouldn't be so outraged, would you?
Just a death knight's family crest, it's just something that Xiahou High Official handed over to Heinette Wan, and there is no real hammer at all. How can the lord fool it when he is still worried about going back to the imperial capital for serious investigation;
As a result, he never expected that Earl Netwan would become so passionate and cut himself off from the people? !

Xia Houyan still knows Eldridge's ability very well - he conservatively estimated that Earl Netwan may not be able to save his life even if there is an emergency rescue by an elf doctor after taking a sword from the commander of the Eastern Territory!
However, Earl Netwan's sudden madness and the development of the whole matter are really fucking strange...

Xia Houyan was still looking at Master Laurie in blank dismay, and among the crowd of elf doctors who rescued Earl Netwan, there was a burst of exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Duke Rivera asked loudly with a tense expression.

The elf doctors raised their heads one by one, looking at the Duke with complicated expressions, but none of the elves dared to answer.

In the end, a purple-haired elf girl stood up and handed a blood-stained note to Duke Rivera:

"This... this is what we found... from, from the interlayer of the clothes..."

Duke Rivera took the note in a daze, and held it up to his eyes.

The Duke's expression quickly distorted.
