Chapter 214: Traitor (212 monthly tickets plus additional chapters last month)

When the war came, the city of Brussels looked chaotic even at night.

There were lit lanterns everywhere, and countless armored and armed warriors passed by.

Ms. Palacios left cleanly and flew away, but Grand Knight Vincent Ackerman didn't have that ability.

He needed to gather his knights, prepare horses and dry food, prepare for a long-distance raid, and apply for potions and various supplies...

It takes time to prepare these things.

What's more, other vassals and knights are also preparing, and the transfer of various supplies is being arranged.

All these made this very peaceful city appear a bit chaotic!
Of course, such panic is the best opportunity for some people with ulterior motives.

There was a group of people wearing black cloaks, moving in the shadows and passing by houses at a very fast speed.

Finally, they entered a remote house in a wealthy area and moved the wooden boards on the ground, revealing an underground passage.

The city of Brussels was built on the banks of the Ruhr River, and groundwater is abundant, so building an underground tunnel is not an easy task.

The walls of this passage are made of solid stone and are reinforced at regular intervals so that it can be maintained for a long time.

But even so, the entire passage was not very long. After turning a corner, they entered a study.

The study was large and luxurious. The carpets on the floor, the paintings on the walls, and the books on the desk all showed that its owner was a well-educated man.

It’s a pity that these men in black seemed out of place when they entered.

One of them quickly took off his cloak, revealing the clothes worn by an ordinary male servant.

He opened the door naturally, walked out, and blended into the manor, as if he was a servant here.

And the owner of this manor, Lord Regan Durant, is very busy tonight!

As Count Raymond's money bag, he is very busy, let alone today, when he needs to take care of all financial expenditures, material dispatch, and supply needs.

Originally, he was still making various arrangements in the front yard, directing his men to do things, listening to their reports, and making more detailed arrangements.

But when the servant appeared behind a group of people and was seen by him, his expression suddenly changed.

It was as ugly as eating a fly, but I couldn't do anything about it.

He could only arrange his affairs at a faster pace, pretending to be exhausted, and told the housekeeper that he was going to the study to have a rest and not to be disturbed by outsiders.

It was not until he left the front yard and the servant caught up with him that his back showed a hint of panic.

In the study, he could hardly suppress his anger when he saw this group of men in black.

"Why did you come back again?"

"There are countless powerful knights gathered in Brussels now. How dare you come back?"

"Do you want to die? If you want to die, don't take me with you, okay?"

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The leading man in black lifted his cloak, revealing a somewhat evil face. He looked at Lord Regan with a bright smile.

"My Lord, what are you afraid of?"

"Even if the illegitimate child stole the earl's title, he is just a young man with barely grown hair. How can he know the evil nature of human hearts?"

"You are a traitorous slave, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Regan looked unhappy and couldn't help but said, "Fenrir, could you please be careful with your words?"

The man in black took a few steps forward, walked in front of Regan, raised his hand and patted Regan's face.

He didn't use much force, but he slapped it frequently, and the sound of snapping could be heard throughout the room.

With the nobility and contempt unique to aristocrats, he clapped his hands every time he uttered a word.

"I'm not polite, what can you do?"

"Bite me? Or tell your new master about it?"

"I can still survive if I'm captured. Nobles have their own rules. The worst that can happen is that I have to pay some ransom.

But you, the Lord who betrayed your master, will die an ugly death! A very ugly death! "

"If you have the guts, go and report me?"

As he spoke, his slaps became heavier and heavier, until each one could slap Lord Regan's face to one side.

Amid the sound of 'pa pa', the subordinates brought by the man in black all smiled with contempt.

Regan felt as if his dignity was being trampled on. Even back then, Count Karl had never treated him like this.

But at this moment, he could only swallow the bitter fruit. When the slapping stopped, his body softened and he knelt directly on the ground.

Tears and snot were streaming down his face. He didn't even dare to cry out loud, so he could only ask in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to do? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Isn't this right?"

"Just complete the tasks we ask you to do, that's all!"

As he said this, he had already pulled over a bench and sat in front of Regan, who was half-kneeling on the ground, like a master.

Then he took out a small bottle from his arms and shook it in front of Regan.

"I know you have access to the well at Lion Manor, so throw this in there."

"Just find a suitable opportunity, when no one is around, open the bottle, and sprinkle the medicine into it.

Isn’t it simple? "

At this moment, Regan suddenly raised his head, looking at the vial in disbelief, then shifted his gaze slightly to look at the man. It was a typical vial of potion, but inside, the black potion was churning, colliding everywhere like a living thing.

"Hey, you, you actually poisoned me?"

"Poison? No no no no..."

Fenrir grinned, his smile was extremely vicious, and he said: "Poison is very easy to be discovered. Ancient families all have their own methods of testing for poison, which can be easily exposed.

So, this is not poison!"

"This is a demon worm from hell, a very tiny but deadly demon worm.

Of course, in our world, it has another name, the plague!"

"If you sprinkle it in the well, let the knights and vassals and our bastard earl eat it.
By then, when they go to the battlefield, they will have a high fever, their hands and feet will be weak, and they will be completely defeated by the Wick family."

"More importantly, this happened a long time ago. No matter what, I can't trace it back to you."

"How about it, are we considering your safety?"

"Moreover, as long as you accomplish this, we will give you the real power and title you want!"

At this moment, Regan sneered and said, "Real power and title, ha ha ha, you didn't deliver last time.

This time, you won’t deliver on your promise!”

Fenrir was not angry at all for being exposed. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, looked down at Regan, and said, "It may be fulfilled, it may not be, but you'd better choose to believe us!"

"So, I'll give you two days. After two days, I hope to hear good news!"

"Two days later, the plague was planted, the army set out, and everything became a foregone conclusion, and it was so perfect!"

"Two days, isn't that too long? Otherwise, how about now?"

A voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. The people in the room were stunned and took action almost instantly.

The others directly surrounded Fenrir and Regen in the middle, presenting a guarding posture.

A knife appeared in Fenrir's hand and was pressed against Regan's neck.

"You betrayed me?"

"No, no!"

"Then who is this person?"

"I, I don't know... Wait, it seems to be the Earl!"

Regan was halfway through his words when he felt that the voice was very familiar and changed his words.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Luo Yi walked in slowly with a sword on his waist.

Behind him, Oliveira and Ang guarded on both sides like door gods.

As for the Iron Knight and the Fire Sword Master, they did not show up at all.

The rest of the manor had already been controlled, and the slaves and maids were pressed together, unable to make even the slightest sound.

And the ones suppressing them were not knights, but a group of gangsters.

The thirty people brought by Ang are definitely the most thoughtful and hardworking group of people in the Oakland City Brotherhood.

They might not be as good as Ange, but Roy at least gave them opportunities, soul-fixing spices, academic teachers, swordsmanship coaches, and skills to learn...

They were not left out of any of these!

If you want to say how powerful they are, that is of course impossible, but among the gangs, they are definitely the elite among the elite!

They are well organized and disciplined, so they shouldn't take it too easy when doing things like infiltration and control.

At this time, Luo Yi finally stepped into the study. He looked around without any fluctuation, but when he saw Lord Regan, his expression became a little complicated.

It should be said that Luo Yi never let down his guard, so as soon as he gained a foothold, he couldn't wait to let Ang set up an intelligence system.

According to his thinking, if you take the first step in some things, things will get better and better.

Therefore, when various conditions are not yet mature, we have to push for the establishment of the "Brotherhood".

However, he never expected that Ang would give him a big surprise.

According to Ang, although surveillance personnel are deployed, there are only so many people at this stage, so some high-value targets have to be selected.

In his opinion, if anyone dared to betray Count Carl Raymond, he must be in a high enough position of power, otherwise he would not have access to core secrets.

Furthermore, they will get enough benefits after the castle is destroyed.

Based on these two points, he directly locked on three people, Regan Durant, Alan Wells and Vincent Ackerman.

To put it bluntly, they are three people competing for the position of Earl Raymond.

If Luo Yi wasn't there, even if it was just to appease them, he would have to more or less draw a territory for them.

Therefore, these three people are the most suspicious!
Of course, suspicion is just suspicion, not the truth.

But what Ang had not expected was that just after his personnel were deployed, they reported back that something was happening with Lord Regan.

The reason was discovered to be simply some of Regan's unreasonable living habits and the amount of food he consumed.

Then, today, Luo Yi came to the door.

Looking at Reagan Durant who looked like a lost dog, Roy finally asked that question.

"I'm curious, why did you do this?"
