The mage arrives

After the battle was over and after confirming that there was no danger, His Royal Highness also went through the portal to the bedroom on the second floor that had already changed beyond recognition.It was also he who recognized Malik's identity at a glance.Only with his status is he qualified to deal with such aftermath involving high-ranking nobles.

Gordon is not interested in this kind of political struggle involving the upper echelon of the empire, nor is he capable of participating.Although connecting Malik and Burdisso's appearance, he can basically speculate why the strong man of the Baratheon family came to assassinate him, but Gordon has no plans to take further action.

If he persisted and said to Prince Satyas, "The Baratheon family is so bold as to assassinate an imperial baron, Your Highness, you should report to His Majesty the Emperor and send troops to help me destroy the Baratheon family." If the brain is stunned and the head is blue, I am afraid it will not end well.

In the aristocratic circle, you have to know how to balance and know how to advance and retreat.

The most ideal result, of course, is that Malik Baratheon's death is covered up, the royal family and the Baratheon family have a tacit understanding, no mention of each other, and a harmonious situation between the monarch and his subjects is still maintained.

But if Lord Silmaril couldn't let go of this matter and insisted on revenge, then Gordon would not sit still.

Ants can also beat elephants if done right.

But now, how to fight against the disappearance of the Baratheon family does not need to be considered by Gordon.He still has a lot of aftermath to do.

Two temple warriors dragged Asalan's battered body up.

Soon, his identity as Earl Thompson's Chief Magic Advisor was confirmed.Now that the evidence is solid, Earl Thompson can already be attacked.

"His Royal Highness, you can now send messages to Cardinal Rodriguez and Lord Julian."

"Yes. After tonight, the structure of the Far Frost Province will change greatly. You have to pay attention. Don't let this power struggle among the nobles expand and affect the stability of the entire Northland."

Gordon knew that what Prince Satyas said seemed to be for him, but in fact it was intended to be conveyed to the high-level officials of Farfrost Province, such as Rob Antello and Lord Julian.

After the Thompson family fell, many nobles who were involved with it would inevitably suffer.A redistribution of power and interests is bound to happen in the Far Frost Province.What the prince is concerned about is that when the Grand Duke of Scepter consolidates and expands his own power, the methods should not be too violent and bloody.

It's even possible.Prince Satyas will also personally come forward to save a group of convicted nobles.These original local traditional aristocrats are bound to quickly lead to the royal family, thus becoming a new force to contain Rob Antello.

Politics is a balancing game.It is impossible for the Anduin royal family to allow a dominant power in the Northland—even if this power is completely loyal to the royal family.

After receiving an affirmative answer from His Royal Highness Prince Satyas, Gordon sent a message using the messenger technique.

After a while.Cardinal Rodriguez of the Temple of Erasis near the Shanxiquan Manor, Count Julian, the lord of the City of Clear Water, and Jurand Dumic, the chief mage of the Master of Scepters, received orders to act. .

tonight.Gordon's side was divided into two groups.Because the terrain in the house is narrow.It was impossible to deploy a large number of troops, so the two cardinals from the Temple of Dawn and the Temple of Platinum, as well as a small number of the most elite combat forces, went to Freeman's mansion to reinforce Gordon.

Others sent a large number of troops to quietly surround the Shanxiquan Manor where Earl Thompson stayed.Make sure that no one can run away after launching the raid.

In particular, Cardinal Rodriguez of the Erasis Temple is the most enthusiastic about trial and conviction.Haven't started yet.He was thinking in his mind what crimes the members and minions of the Thompson family should be convicted of, and how to deal with the confiscated property.

After receiving the prince's message, the three rulers immediately issued an order to attack.

The elite law guards of the Erasis Temple took the lead in attacking the manor as the vanguard. The city lord Julian had a large number of guards, and the city guards who had a lot of experience in arresting fugitives were responsible for plugging the leak.

And Yolande Dumic, the chief mage under the lord of the scepter, first commanded the mage group to fire a few huge flares over the manor, turning the night into day, and there was nowhere to hide.Then, the old mage joined forces with more than a dozen members of the mage group to launch a counter-teleportation circle within the entire Shanxiquan Manor.

During the duration of this magic circle, all space teleportation spells within the range can be invalidated.In order to prevent Earl Thompson from escaping by any means and achieve the goal of eradicating the grass, Rob Antello made great efforts.

…………

Earl Thompson was on the soft big bed in the bedroom, tasting fine wine, enjoying the massage with the concubine's small hands, and dreaming of killing Gordon, overthrowing the Grand Duke of the Scepter, and becoming the overlord of the Northland. The sound of killing made him startled.

Earl Thompson didn't know that something was wrong until his guard knight ran over and said in a panic that the outer defense line of Shanxiquan Manor had been breached by the law guards of the Temple of Erasis.

He didn't wait for Asalan to bring the good news that "the Freeman brothers and sisters have been dealt with", but he waited for the imperial soldiers who arrested him.

"Failed, tonight's heartbeat has failed. The Thompson family, it's over!"

For a moment, strong regret filled the old earl's mind.If it wasn't because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and wanted to run away, which triggered a series of incidents later, I am afraid that now he is a veritable anti-demon hero...

"Destiny!" Earl Thompson sighed briefly, and immediately ordered the knight commander to greet a few confidants and prepare to escape.

Any noble with a certain family background will have a plan to deal with crisis situations, and Earl Thompson is no exception.In the underground secret passage of Shanxiquan Manor, there is a room with a teleportation circle, which can teleport him, five other followers and [-] kilograms of items a thousand kilometers away.

Earl Thompson, adhering to the principle of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, bought a property in the trading city-state alliance in the south of the Freyton Empire.As long as he keeps his name incognito and does not reveal his identity, he can still live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.However, the foundation of the family in Freyton was completely destroyed.

Earl Thompson is very grateful for his previous decision to invest heavily in the construction of Shanxiquan Manor.Because of this, this luxurious manor, with its complex terrain and vast area, has blocked the enemy's attack very well.Moreover, the private soldiers of the Thompson family also worked hard. When facing an invasion, more than half of the soldiers chose to be loyal to their masters and resist instead of throwing down their weapons and fleeing.

Taking advantage of this time, Earl Thompson, his 19-year-old most beloved concubine, and four loyal guards came to the teleportation room through a secret passage.He even had time to collect some more valuable items.

But the Earl's good luck ended there.He activated the teleportation circle according to the method Asalan told him.But the teleportation circle composed of many complex patterns on the ground did not bloom with arcane light as expected.

After a few more attempts and failures, Earl Thompson, who was already suffering from anxiety and fear, finally lost his mind.He smashed a large bag of gems in his hand to the ground, and cursed: "Bastard! Stupid pig! A deformed child born by a goblin! Asalan Delmavic, I will strangle you to death with my own hands!"

Earl Thompson attributed all his mistakes to his magic advisor.

If it wasn't for that sorcerer who didn't kill Xiona, he wouldn't be in this predicament at all!

This teleportation circle must also be because the creator Asalan's arcane level is too low, so it failed at a critical moment!

Also... the failure of tonight's operation must also be due to Asalan's incompetence and stupidity!

But it was a pity that Asalan, who had already turned into a broken corpse, had no way to face Earl Thompson's fury.

"My lord, let's go before it's too late." The loyal knight commander persuaded.

Earl Thompson looked at the burly man in front of him with cloudy eyes that instantly aged ten years, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.At least it is not a complete failure to be a man on your own. In the most critical moment, there are still people who follow.

But just as the group walked out of the room where the teleportation circle was located, they were blocked by a group of law guards.

After a short fight, Earl Thompson's guards were all killed.The old earl can only face the cold face and even colder sword of the believer of the God of Law alone...

His Highness the Prince and the Cardinal had honorable status, so after disposing of Malik's body, they each left and went back to rest.Tomorrow, there will be an aristocratic meeting that needs them to host.A prince with panda eyes does not fit Freyton's aristocratic demeanor.

Gordon handed over the aftermath to Jude, and then drove to Shanxiquan Manor alone.It was already three o'clock in the night, but although he was physically tired, he was still in good spirits.

In front of the luxurious three-story mansion in the manor, the lights were brightly lit.The city guards held torches and guarded the captured people from the manor.

Maids, cooks, grooms, handymen... as long as they are people in Shanxiquan Manor, none of them will be spared.However, after a simple cross-examination and confirmation that there is no problem, these little people can leave.They have to find a new job after the spring.

And those Earl Thompson's cronies and family members in the manor will be escorted to the City Guard Hall for further interrogation.In the next few days, torture and blood will be unavoidable in the prison in Clear Water City.

When Gordon got off the carriage, he happened to see Earl Thompson being escorted out of the mansion by two guardians of the law. (To be continued..)
