Chapter 110:
Viscount Charles thought about Lomo’s assassination plan carefully and still felt it was inappropriate. After this series of events, he is now quite afraid of Lord Saltin's strength. The reason why I want to use the city hall and the law against him is entirely because I can't fight him.
Moreover, this Earl Brad knew that he was ridiculously strong, but he came to cooperate with him. It was obvious that he wanted to stand out and take all the risks to his reputation, so that he could reap the benefits from behind.
To be honest, Viscount Charles did not want to be the scapegoat.
Seeing that Viscount Charles was unwilling, Count Brad glanced at him and sneered: "If you don't want to, then you just wait for the investigation team to come, and then let those two people do it." Go to hell."
Viscount Charles' eyes froze, with a very embarrassed look on his face.
Earl Brad picked up the red wine glass on the table, shook it gently, and said in a deep voice: "Viscount Charles, I know your concerns, but in my opinion, your concerns are completely worthless. Since more than ten years After the Battle of Qiutang, the Knights of the City Hall were in a state of decline and were no longer able to control the Volo River Valley. This led to rampant thieves and an overrun of gnolls. If nothing else, let’s just say that Marquis Arnold was in Shaker Town and Two Rivers. Can you count how many people he killed? He killed so many nobles, but nothing happened. On the contrary, the nobles who were framed by him not only lost their territory, but also had to be punished by the laws of the kingdom. The trial has a bad reputation. Black Rock City itself was built on the corpses of countless people." "We have
already entered an era where whoever has the biggest fist has the final say. As you can see, Saldin's business is now done He has become prosperous and has made acquaintance with many lords with his alchemical products, and his power will become stronger and stronger in the future. If you don't kill Lord Saldin, you will be waiting for death." Viscount Charles lowered his head and looked at the cloth carefully
. Earl Ryder glanced at him and said softly: "I understand the truth, but attacking someone else's manor is a serious crime. How can I compare with Marquis Arnold? Even if I conquer, what awaits me will be the ruthless laws of the kingdom."
Earl Brad glanced at Charles speechlessly and said, "Who asked you to attack the manor? You don't know how to assassinate?" "
Ah? Assassination?" Viscount Charles' eyes lit up, and then he said: "Your Majesty the Earl may not know something. , Saltine Manor is the most heavily guarded manor I have ever seen. My people can't even go in and rob a serf, so how can they sneak in and assassinate." "Tightly defended? Huh." Count Brad's
face He showed a disdainful smile and said: "I have already infiltrated several spies into their manor. These days, I know Lord Saldin's daily whereabouts in the manor very well!" Viscount Charles was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly
: "Sir, your move is simply wonderful. It turns out that you have been preparing to attack him for a long time." "
Of course." Earl Brad smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I have been indulging him for a long time. Now his trade is slowly growing. To grow bigger, it's time to close the net. Ming told you, even without you, I will take action against him. If you don't want to, I won't force it. But everything after that has nothing to do with you. . I will no longer interfere with the affairs of Mrs. Salome and Baron Petty."
"Yes, yes, of course I am willing!" Viscount Charles said quickly: "I am really dizzy, and I have not understood your lordship at all. Idea. It turns out that what you are plotting is the entire estate of Sardin. Forgive me for my limited knowledge. Compared with you, my lord, I am really far behind." "Since you are willing, then you will be a pawn in this operation.
I I will send my most elite team of Dharma Knights to support you. Don’t let me down,” Brad said in a deep voice.
"Definitely, definitely. I will definitely contribute my maximum strength and make sure to kill Lord Saldin in his territory." Viscount Charles immediately patted his chest and said.
"Yes." Brad was very satisfied with his attitude and promised: "After the matter is completed, you don't have to worry about what happened these days. In addition, I can also hand over the newly built pier in Saldin." Let you run it. Just like when I handed over Lando Pier to Baron Lando."
Viscount Charles was overjoyed and quickly expressed his position: "Your Majesty is so generous, I am willing to be your pawn forever!"
Earl Brad was satisfied. He nodded, played with the wine glass, smiled on his face, and thought silently in his heart.
In fact, he didn't look down on Charles's strength at all. The reason why he chose to cooperate with him was just to seize this opportunity and make Charles a scapegoat.
It would be quite difficult politically to move Saldin. After all, Sardin has Viscount Alex behind him.
This old man is not someone to be trifled with. He has both background and strength. Even more difficult than his teacher, Count Martin.
I heard that he is currently investigating the mayor's provision of supplies to the evil beasts. Even Mayor Malcolm was a little afraid of him.
Once Saldin is assassinated, Viscount Alex will definitely not give up.
So when the time comes, it will be just in time to drag Viscount Charles out to pay the penalty. Sacrificing a viscount to bear the crime of killing Saldin was enough to stop Viscount Alex's mouth.
You can look for various opportunities to receive the legacy left by Saldin. Completely dominate the area east of the Volo Valley.
But all of this must first ensure that the plan to assassinate Saldin is successful!
For this, he has made adequate preparations.
In the Saldin Manor, Yale stormed into Lomo's alchemy studio.
Luomo is developing a new type of alchemical potion in the studio.
Under his painstaking research, the two products Gathering Brave and Gathering Sensitivity have gone through many iterations.
The latest potion can almost double Romo's agility and strength if he drinks it. Luomo named it the fifth generation of energy gathering.
However, Luomo does not plan to sell this new product to the outside world. What is currently sold on the market is still the first generation product of the energy gathering series. Only die-hard allies like Pei Bona and Ian will sell them second or third generation products.
After all, judging from the current market conditions, the first generation can already make a lot of money, and there is no need to sell newer products to cause competition with itself. And Luo Mo must have a trump card in his hand.
At this time, Luomo was studying how to produce the fifth generation of concentrated energy more efficiently. When he saw Yale rushing in to disturb him, he glanced at him and said softly: "Yale, what's going on, why are you so panicked?" "Sir!" Yale also realized that
he He lost his composure, which was not in line with the usual style of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He immediately calmed down and said in a deep voice: "The spies brought new news. Count Brad suddenly visited the Charles Manor." "Oh?" Lomo thought about it and temporarily put down his research
. , with a meaningful expression on his face, he said softly: "These two people have finally gotten together." "
Earl Brad sent people to follow you before, and even followed you directly to the eastern dense forest. And he also kept a secret in our manor. He has contacted many spies. Now he has suddenly visited Charles Manor, and it seems that he is preparing to attack you." Yale analyzed.
"Yes, after preparing for such a long time, he obviously couldn't hold himself back." Luo Mo said with a smile.
"Sir, what should we do?" Yale said softly: "Count Brad has many capable people. He himself is a second-level magic knight of the arcane department. I heard that he is extremely powerful." "What else can I do
? What to do?" Romo waved his hand and said: "When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them up. No matter who plots against our Saldin Manor, they will pay the price. The same is true for the jackals, and the same is true for the nobles."
Yale had a surprised expression on his face, and was immediately infected by Luo Mo's confident mood, and immediately nodded vigorously. No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as the lord is around, he will feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"With his style, what method do you think he would take if he took action?" Lomo asked. Yale thought carefully and said softly: "I'm not sure either. You don't usually leave the manor. If he wants to attack us, he will either attack us by force or assassinate him. In my opinion, assassination is more likely. A little."
"Exactly!" Lomo said solemnly: "For a law-abiding lord like me, assassination is the most suitable choice."
Yale continued to analyze: "Saldin Manor is now very vast. If assassination , he needs to know your daily schedule. This information has been provided by his spies lurking in the manor." "We have already killed a group of these spies
and controlled a group. According to your instructions, I have already Let the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau forge a set of false itineraries and let the spies send them out regularly. So far, there are no mistakes." Luo Mo nodded with satisfaction
and said: "In other words, what he has got now The intelligence is all lies we have spun. Then where do you think he will choose to take action?"
Yale fell into deep thinking. This proposal involves the safety of the lord, so he must think it over carefully and be more cautious. The better.
After thinking for a long time, he was a little at a loss and said sadly: "Sir, I have thought about several places, but I am really not sure. Where do you think they will attack?" Luo Mo pondered and said softly: "They
assassinated The place must meet two conditions. The first point is that it is best to be in a remote location for easy access; the second point is to ensure that I will definitely appear in that place at a specific time. The second point is the most critical, because they have to Make sure to kill with one hit, and never miss."
"A place where you will definitely appear at a specific time." Yale immediately thought of something and said solemnly: "According to the itinerary we weave, you will appear at the end of every month. Sleep of Glory, to pay homage to your parents and the farmers who sacrificed their lives for the manor. In addition, you will go for an outing every month, but the time and place are not fixed. As for the dock, you will go there about three times a month." Yale will go there regularly
. The locations were listed one by one and a full discussion began with Lomo.
After thinking for a long time, the two finally selected two or three places. These places have fixed times and fixed locations. Best for enemy assassination activities. Among them, the Sleep of Glory is the most suitable location.
If they were Earl Brad, they would definitely consider these places.
After making preliminary estimates, Luo Mo said in a deep voice: "From now on, the manor must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Set up secret sentries in these places, and each secret sentry will supply an unlimited amount of invisible potion. We must prepare for their arrival. We will deal with everything. My void guards will also cooperate with your secret sentry." "
In a word, we must understand all their actions before they arrive. Then we must cooperate with their actions, lure them to arrive, and then lure them Catch them all."
Yale looked solemn and bowed slightly to Luo Mo: "Don't worry, sir, I will use my life to ensure that all investigations are done." "
Well, thank you for your hard work." Luo Mo nodded.
Over the next few days, Lomo put his grueling daily training on hold to recharge his batteries. His original plan was to enchant the Soul-Splitting Great Sword and the Black Wind Great Sword, but now he had to cancel it temporarily.
Earl Brad is a second-level magic knight in peak condition, and is the most powerful opponent Romo has encountered so far.
He thought that he did not have the strength to take the initiative and go to Earl Brad's manor to cause trouble.
But now that Earl Brad had taken the lead, Lomo realized that this was an excellent opportunity to counterattack.
He wanted to use the false itinerary provided to the spies to lure Earl Brad into the hub. Then use all your strength to carry out a devastating blow to Brad's assassination team.
Only through this method of showing fists can this arrogant Earl be completely shocked. Let him not dare to attack him easily again.
'Level 2 Magic Knight Brad, I hope you'd better come in person. ' Luo Mo thought silently in his heart. He has been training rapidly these days, and he can't wait to test his strength.
Time passed slowly in a tense atmosphere, and finally it came to the end of February.
According to the false information provided by Yale to the traitorous spies, this was the day when Lomo was going to the Rest of Glory to worship the souls of the dead.
According to the plan, Lomo's deception came true and he will go to the Hero's Rest in person. This was the best place for an assassination that he and Yale had analyzed.
After a long wait, I hope there will be a good result today.
The day before departure, Lomo specially used shadow magic and planted void guards in four directions in the north of the manor.
Maintaining the Void Guard requires a lot of shadow magic. In order to keep the magic value abundant, Romo simply slept in the Shadow Crack.
Seeing that Romo had been nervous these days, Kasif couldn't worry about him, so she slept with Romo.
However, considering the need to recharge their batteries, the two of them behaved very well. They just touched and kissed each other and didn't do anything else.
In the early morning of this day, Luo Mo checked all the weapons and alchemical potions on his body, put on his specially made demonized animal leather armor, and stepped out of the Shadow Crack.
Yale was already waiting at the door and whispered to Romo: "Sir, I have arranged for five personnel from the Military Intelligence Bureau to take invisibility potions throughout the process and hide near the void guards. Nicholas, leading the knights, has also been there The manor headquarters is on standby. In addition, the Knights' advisory team - Vader and the others also hid themselves in the coffin of the Sleep of Glory."
After hearing these arrangements, Romo nodded slightly. All preparations were made, and accompanied by Yale and Calcifer, he rode to the Rest of Glory.
Along the way, the cold winter has just passed, and many trees have sprouted buds and look full of life.
Luo Mo watched the scenery around him recede, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
This was the first time he used himself as bait to lure out potential enemies. This gave him a very strange feeling. This feeling did not make him feel uncomfortable, but instead gave him a sense of excitement that he was eager to try.
'Anyone who invades my manor will be punished! ’ He encouraged himself silently in his heart.
