Chapter 216 214: Beheading, Going to War (Please subscribe, please vote)

The next day,

Early in the morning, the ruins of Lion Castle.

Luo Yi came here today with a large group of people, including pack horses and flatbed carts.

Then, he led Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil Zek and Flame Sword Saint Otto, and went in and out of the Raymond family's treasure trove again and again to move things out.

Weapons, armor, food...

Just like ants moving, things are transported out little by little through the dimensional bags.

Seeing that the carriage was full, the four of them leaned against the mountain of supplies, chatting casually, waiting for the next round of carriages to arrive.

The Iron Knight was puzzled and asked, "My Lord Earl, the family warehouse should have no shortage of supplies, why do you have to take them from here?"

Luo Yi supported the box with two axes, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, feeling the warmth of the sun, as if countless small hands were massaging him, which was very comfortable.

He tilted his head slightly and said, "The reason why I promised that the Raymond family would bear all the expenses for this battle is because I want my knights to fight without any scruples."

"The reason I moved supplies from here is not because I need it, but to tell everyone my determination."

"In this battle, I am willing to use all my family's wealth, materials and means to win the final victory!"

"This is very important, because war is fought on morale!"

Having said that, Luo Yi straightened up again and said, “Besides, I think it would be a huge waste to leave such a large amount of wealth and materials there untouched.

In such an era, of course, the best way is to invest wealth in development, and to make money and interest on interest. "

As he said this, a figure was seen walking quickly towards him, facing the sunlight, so it was not clear.

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes, his vertical pupils like an eagle's eyes, and he finally saw the person clearly.

It was Ange!
We have tracked it down to this point, so it’s obvious that there is a result!

When this thought came to mind, Luo Yi became alert. He straightened his body and put away the smile on his face.

It was not until Ange came close that he asked, "Have you confessed everything?"

Ange took a deep breath and said, "I've confessed everything!"

"Then tell me, what's going on?"

Ange handed over a confession, and as Roy was flipping through it, he explained in detail: “According to Regan, he was in charge of the Raymond family’s commerce, transportation, and financial income and expenditure.

A large amount of money passes through his hands every day.

At first, he was able to control himself and remain loyal, but his second son, who was studying in the Bonaparte Empire, developed a gambling habit.

"The blackmail letter from those people was actually sent to Hualian and landed in his hands, along with a finger of his second son."

"He had no choice but to take a portion of the money he handled. He thought he was being clever, but who would have thought it was all a setup."

"When Fenrir came to us, he used this as a threat to force Lord Regan to do things for him!
At first, it was just some things like cutting in line to arrange shipments, tax evasion, etc. It wasn’t serious, so Regan helped out.”

"It wasn't until later on, when their demands became more and more excessive, that he became less willing.

It was during this process that those people discovered Lord Regan's thoughts, and finally used the bait of 'nobility' to make him completely defect!"

Roy asked: "How long did this process last?"

"At least two years!"

"Two years, it seems like a long-term plan!"

Luo Yi said this and asked again: "What happened next?"

"Later, thanks to Lord Regan's heavy cover, those people were able to hide in Brussels without being discovered by anyone.
And in the surrounding manor villages."

“After all, this is a war of destruction against the Raymond family. Even if we select only strong men, we still need enough people to help.

Without Lord Regan's cover, it would be impossible for them to completely hide their whereabouts."

"Of course, because it was all arranged by Lord Regan, so although he didn't dare to get to know those people in depth, he was able to glimpse some of the truth from the clues."

"That's also why he was certain that 'being knighted' was not just an excuse, but the reason why they could really do it!"

Luo Yi nodded slowly: "The three major marquis families, some great nobles of the Bonaparte Empire, and the Church of the Sun God...

This scale really shows respect for the Raymond family, and it can also scare Lord Regan into being obedient. "

Turning his head, Luo Yi asked again: "What is Fenrir's identity?"

“Fenrir Castro, a branch of the Castro family, is a real baron with real power and has hereditary fiefdoms.

However, this one seems to like doing business, traveling around and back and forth between different places."

Having said that, Ange hesitated a little, but still asked: "After all, he was a true noble. If he died here, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain it, right?"

"Explain? Why do you want to explain?"

Luo Yi looked strange: "Fenrir's death has nothing to do with us? Who knew he ran to my city of Brussels?
Ask those who sent him here if they dare to come to me and ask for people?

Do you dare to admit that it was he who asked Fenrir to bring the plague?
Do you dare to admit that they were the ones who did what happened in Lion Castle?"

"If you don't dare to admit these, then Fenrir won't come to me, so what about the nobility?"

“To put it bluntly, Fenrir is just a fool who is used to bullying in the Norman Principality and has never seen the cruelty of the world!

You really think you can do whatever you want just because you are a noble. How ridiculous!"

Ange asked again: "What about the body?" "Just throw it in a random cemetery. Make sure no one finds it!"

Having said that, Luo Yi looked at the Iron Knight and the Flame Sword Saint again and said, "I still don't have any evidence, but do you still think that the Church of the Sun God was not involved?"

Iron Knight Phil Zeke waved his hand and said, "There's nothing more to say. We'll help you kill Bishop Virgil Berry."

"Together!"

The sound of the carriage rumbled, and at the end of the sight, the pack horses carrying goods returned again.

Luo Yi stretched his body and said, "Let's go, let's go, we still have to move some things."

"Speaking of which, our ancestors were really greedy. They only considered safety and never thought that transportation would be too troublesome!"

Behind him, Ange seemed to remember something and said, "My Lord Earl, what about Lord Regan?"

"What else can we do? Kill him!"

"He can't accomplish it alone. Those under him who are involved, know the truth, and even take bribes, should all be arrested!"

"Then, when the army sets out, they always have to kill a few people as sacrifices, and they are just right!"

At this point, Luo Yi paused, turned around and said, "By the way, you can arrange for someone to kill Regan's two sons as well."

"If you do something like this, you have to pay a high enough price for collusion and betrayal!"

"It's only fitting that the whole family dies out!"

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was three days later.

It was originally planned to take two days to prepare, but the arrest of Lord Regan Durant and a group of professionals under his command still affected the progress of the work.

Therefore, the heritage of a thousand-year-old family is reflected in all aspects.

For example, the male servants in Lion Manor have actually been carefully trained.

It's not a big skill, but being able to read and write and be proficient in arithmetic are necessary.

Butler Hoover directly took over the financial power of the Raymond family. He temporarily promoted some people and placed them in different positions. After a little adjustment, he got things in order.

It only delayed one more day and all the supplies were ready.

The speed is beyond imagination, and Butler Hoover’s ability is also beyond imagination!

Until the third day,
morning,

Luo Yi put on the torturous full set of armor again, mounted his tall horse, and headed out of the city with his legion of knights under Lilia's reluctant gaze.

Along the way, he was seen off by countless people who presented him with flowers, and with the fragrance of flowers and cheers, he seemed to have returned victoriously.

Of course, there are inconsistencies.

For example, along the way, there were wooden stakes with bleeding heads hanging on them.

The most eye-catching one was Lord Regan.

Although this person does not have a hereditary title nor is he a knight, he is in charge of the purse strings and is the right-hand man of Count Carl Raymond. In this Flower Territory, he is definitely a very prestigious person.

Even a true noble had to be respectful enough in front of him.

Not many people in Brussels know this person. Even ordinary people know that he is a big shot.

But now, his head was hanging there, his eyes wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

Of course, the news that the civilians knew was that this person was killed because of corruption and bribery.

An unknown amount of gold coins were found in his manor. He was discovered by the Earl and eventually beheaded in public.

However, those vassals and knights all knew that this man was a traitor to the Raymond family and deserved to be put to death.

They didn't feel any sense of grief for the loss of their loved ones. One of the virtues of chivalry is loyalty. As traitors, beheading was the lightest punishment.

When the large army left the city of Brussels and marched along the avenue, they ran for dozens of miles and caught up with another team.

All of them are militiamen who are ready for war. To put it bluntly, they are soldiers who train in their spare time and farm in their busy time.
With armor and a spear, it looks pretty decent.

The Raymond family did organize training, and at least they were much stronger than those pure serf soldiers.

This is the main body of the army.

Even though the knights are powerful, you can't rely entirely on them in a war.

In addition, there are a large number of pack horses and carriages pulling various supplies.

The two teams reunited again and were considered complete. They headed east along the road.

However, unbeknownst to everyone, the leader of this army had already left the team under the cover of Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke.

Roy, leading Oliveira, Phil Zek and Otto, watched the large group disappear from everyone's sight.

Otto finally spoke: "My Lord Count, where are we going now?"

"If the news is correct, the bishop should be in Sunset Town now!"

　The second update is here, and I’ll be writing the third update. I’ll try to finish before 12 o’clock!
