Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 48 The Murderer Harrison

"What do you want?" The captain of the guard pushed the 'Dao Nian' trying to rush in, "This is the residence of the regimental leaders, don't you know?"

"They are all saying that Harrison sent someone to murder Boss Morgan, and now Harrison murdered the deputy head of Kelvin (the lame) in the castle. Is this true?" Furious, he questioned the captain of the guard.

How can the captain of the guard answer such a terrible accusation?As soon as he heard this, he was stunned on the spot. He turned around and tried to ask his team members for help, but he didn't expect that the people in the guard who originally belonged to the Morgan faction immediately distanced themselves from their companions.

"Where did you get this kind of news? Do you know what you are talking about?" Seeing so many people crowded in front of him, the captain of the guard was a little confused, but he still insisted on his duty and sent the gathered mercenaries blocked at the door.

Dao Mian was taken aback. In fact, he didn't know where the rumors came from. Because of the death of Boss Morgan, many mercenaries didn't sleep tonight.

Everyone had gathered outside the camp to discuss the future fate of the mercenary group, discussing whether they should run away.

It is not known who first suggested that Sir Harrison sent someone to murder Boss Morgan, and also killed the Deputy Captain Lame in the castle.

Anyway, the rumor soon spread throughout the entire mercenary camp.

"That's right, where did you get this kind of news?" Taking advantage of Dao Mian's dazed effort, the twenty-five-year-old Sir Granson squeezed to the front.

"This is simply nonsense!" Erwu Zai opened his mouth to support the captain of the guard, and made a gesture of helping to maintain order.

The captain of the guard immediately gave him a grateful look.

"But it's not a solution to let everyone gather like this," Sir Erwuzi said again, "It's better to let Deputy Captain Kelvin speak out, anyway, I don't believe Sir Harrison would do such a thing. "

Hearing Sir Erwuzi's support, the mercenary captains under Sir Harrison who rushed to the scene also quickly agreed with Sir Erwuzi's statement, and they did not believe Sir Harrison would do such a thing.

Before the captain of the guard could express his opinion, Sir Erwuzi hurriedly said to the noisy crowd: "Then it's decided like this, let him invite the deputy head Kelvin out, okay?

As long as the deputy head is still alive, it proves that Sir Harrison is not the murderer of Boss Morgan at all.Let's catch the rumormongers together! "

Of course, these words of imposing cause and effect were taught by Ian to Sir Erwuzi.

Having two cases against the same person in a court trial is a big problem because it only takes one of the things to prove that he didn't do it to prove his innocence.

The opposite is true in crowd trials. If two things are pointed at the same person at the same time, as long as it can be proved that one thing was done by him, people will not hesitate to pin the other thing on his head.

When people are angry, they don't think about the logic at all.

Sir Erwuzi's speech well took care of the mercenaries of Morgan's boss faction eager to know the truth, and on the surface he was speaking for Sir Harrison, so he quickly got the unanimous approval of the mercenaries.

The noisy crowd gradually calmed down, ready to wait for the final result.

The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and once again cast a grateful look at Sir Erwuzi.

At this moment, he naively thought that as long as he went upstairs to invite the deputy leader Kelvin down, today's matter would be over.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I'm going to ask Deputy Captain Kelvin to come down now." The mercenary captain asked his men to open the gate of the castle, and walked in quickly by himself.

Harrison, who was hiding by the window on the second floor and saw this scene, sank to the bottom of his heart.

There was a sound of even rhythmic footsteps in the corridor, and Sir Harrison immediately recognized that it was the walking sound of his old buddy for many years.

He first drew his sword and hid behind the door, ready to kill him as if he had just killed the old guard Carey.

But only a few seconds later, Harrison dropped the sword to the ground again.

What's the use of killing him?This small castle of his own has only one door, and outside the door are all angry mercenaries waiting to avenge Boss Morgan, and he is already at a dead end.

The next moment, the captain of the guard walked into the room, stared at the two corpses in the room dumbfounded, and then looked at Sir Harrison behind the door in shock and vigilance.

"Onion, do you believe me?" Sir Harrison asked bitterly.

Onion was the captain's childhood nickname.

The captain of the guard is a child from a nearby village. Once he went to Granson's father's manor to steal onions and was chased by a group of guards. In the end, he deftly turned the guards around.

Granson's father cherished his talents and took him into the manor to serve as his eldest son, Granson, as a sparring partner.

Since then, Onion has become his nickname.

"Deputy Captain Kelvin was killed by a fork." Captain Onion's tone was trembling.

"He hit me first..."

"Kerry was silenced by you too." Captain Onion interrupted Sir Harrison.

"He's lame and I can't let people know what's going on here..."

"You sent someone to kill Boss Morgan?" Captain Onion interrupted Harrison again.

It was a question Harrison couldn't even explain.

How could he explain that there was no logical relationship between killing Lame and killing Black Falcon?

"I didn't do what they said, would you believe me?"

Captain Onion just took a few steps back, and then ran downstairs quickly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of shouting outside the window, followed by the sound of dense footsteps. The only thing Sir Harrison could hear clearly were the words "Murderer" and "Revenge for Boss Morgan".

Harrison sat limp against the wall.

Then he laughed, laughing out loud.

In fact, he also wanted to avenge Boss Morgan.

When the dawn came, the 'adopted son' Dorian had logically become the new leader of the Black Falcon Mercenary Group.

Unfortunately, there are less than thirty mercenaries left in Sir Harrison's estate.

Such a result made Ian wonder if he had made a foolish move.

Ian thought that putting the blame for killing Morgan on Sir Harrison's head would force most of Sir Harrison's supporters to refuse to stand on Harrison's side, thus leaving more people for the mercenary group.

And after killing Sir Harrison, he can create public opinion and give credit to his "adopted son" Dorian for discovering that Harrison was the murderer of Boss Morgan, so as to enhance his personal prestige so that he can do better. Control the mercenary group.

Unexpectedly, from the moment the mercenaries rushed into the castle, everything was out of control.

After the crazy mercenaries wiped out Sir Harrison's attendants and personal guards, they rushed all the way into Harrison's room, chopped off his head, put it on a spear and stuck it on the roof of the castle.

At this time, Sir Harrison's original subordinates, who were forced to maintain neutrality partly because of "righteousness", couldn't stand it, and expressed the hope that everyone would not humiliate Sir Harrison's body.

And so they quarreled with the 'lame' guards.

Then I don't know who first started clamoring that these people who spoke for Harrison were also accomplices. This statement was immediately supported by everyone, so these people were besieged.

During the siege, many mercenaries from the neutral Harrison faction were gradually involved, so people began to point their fingers at all Harrison faction mercenaries.

Soon the two factions of the Black Falcon mercenaries fell into a big melee, and Dorian was powerless to stop it, so he could only lead people to set up an ambush and withdraw from the battle group.

In the chaos, some scheming mercenaries began to plunder the wealth in the castle. This behavior quickly attracted others to imitate. In the process of scrambling for property, the original mercenaries in the Black Falcon faction also had infighting .

Then there was a deeper chaos. The mercenaries gradually forgot the reason for fighting in the first place. They killed each other for property. The flames of war spread from Sir Harrison's castle to the mercenary camp.
The battle lasted until midnight, and after most of the mercenaries had dispersed, Dorian left the only one left behind by promising the mercenaries that they could keep the wealth they had already grabbed and lead them to earn even greater wealth. of these people.

What?Where is Ian?

He had slipped away early in the melee, when he tried to use his status as Ser Lannister to take control, but soon found that no one was listening to him at all.

In order to avoid being involved in the scuffle, Ian sneaked out of Sir Harrison's manor directly with his people, waiting outside for the result of the scuffle.

At dawn, Dorian sent someone out to look for Ian before he returned to the manor.

"Sir Lucian," Dorian's originally fair face was now covered with black ashes, and he seemed a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I only left these people behind, and the others ran away after grabbing the property. "

"However," he continued to explain, "I have already sent someone to notify the mercenary squad that is still stationed elsewhere. If they can all be recalled, the strength of the mercenary group should be restored to more than 100 people."

Terrible ending, that's all Ian can describe.

In fact, his original plan to 'force most of the mercenaries under Sir Harrison to remain neutral by blaming Sir Harrison for killing the boss of Morgan' was achieved.

But he found that he underestimated the word 'chaos' itself. It is easy for people to create chaos, but once chaos occurs, they will not move forward according to anyone's will.

In the field of mastering group sports, Ian thinks he still has a lot to learn.

"Hurry up and do this, as for the funding issue," Ian signaled to Rohr to hand over a bag of [-] golden dragons to Dorian, "This is my first grant to you. "

"By the way, is the mountain weasel in charge of treasure hunting here?" Ian continued to ask.

"No, I've inquired. The weasel has not returned to the camp."

"I'm going back to the Crossroads Inn. When he comes back, send someone to notify me as soon as possible. If I need to use your people, I will send someone to find you. I hope you can respond to me as soon as possible."

"Of course sir, this is part of the agreement, so about avenging my adoptive father?" Dorian's voice was very low in the last sentence, because in the perception of the mercenaries around, the boss Morgan was killed by Harry. Sir Sam was murdered.

"I will continue to investigate this matter. Next, I will personally meet with those people from the local Property Cavaliers Alliance to see what clues I can find there."

"Thank you, sir."
