Chapter 104
Who approves of the death of the Duke of Galicia? Who objects?
The moment Leon's words fell, the entire banquet hall fell into deathly silence.
The countless shining weapons instantly brought the originally warm atmosphere to a freezing point. The nobles who were working hard to cook didn't even have time to swallow the food in their mouths.
Everyone froze in place, and everyone fell into silence.
Looking at Leon, who righteously denounced himself as a rebel, the Duke of Galicia only felt that his legs and feet were stiff and his whole body was shaking.
Because...
he finally realized the situation at this time.
At this moment, the Duke was only guarded by two knights, but soldiers loyal to Leon were still arriving in a steady stream, almost surrounding the entire banquet hall.
Looking at the nobles with different expressions, a huge fear enveloped the heart of the Duke of Galicia.
Count Colt, loyal to himself, died.
But the Viscount of Shili City and the Viscount of Gongyang City both sided with Leon.
In other words, the moment he stepped into Nangu City, he had completely fallen into the trap that Leon had carefully crafted for himself.
Can he still get out of here alive?
The Duke already has the answer in his heart.
At the same time, Count Brabant clenched his fists tightly and felt his whole body trembling.
Stimulate!
It’s so exciting!
The militia of the nobles are stationed outside the city. At this moment, the nobles in the banquet hall can only bring one or two personal attendants or knights. They are completely behind the number of Antorians who are surrounding them from all sides. Soldier.
He has thought about Leon's plan countless times, the Northern Expedition? Or defy orders and return?
But no matter how hard Earl Brabant thought about it, he never thought that the young Viscount Antolia would be so bold and would directly choose to take action in Nangu City.
You know, Nangucheng was originally the strategic target of the Western Front Army.
How much confidence do you have in the military power under your command to make such a decision? !
This is an opportunity, not only an opportunity for Antolia, but also an opportunity for myself!
Count Brabant's mind was racing, imagining countless possibilities that might happen.
Then, he spoke first, breaking the silence in the banquet hall:
"Leon is right!"
"Wilbert I is the only legal monarch of the kingdom, and is the object of allegiance to all the nobles in the kingdom! As a person, The king's vassals should bring order to the chaos and serve his great Majesty Wilbert I!"
When his words fell, Count Brabant suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Because he has realized that, just as Leon's envoy brought him the words before, only by supporting the rule of Wilbert I can he bring the greatest benefits to his family.
Situations are stronger than people.
When someone spoke first, Count Brabant's words immediately attracted the echo of many nobles.
At least...
the nobles who were friends with Count Brabant immediately expressed their approval of Viscount Leon Jimena of Antolia and their supreme loyalty to Wilbert I.
And even those nobles who had a close personal relationship with the Duke had to express their firm support for Leon, including even the in-laws of the Bravis family.
There is no way, the bright sword of the Antolian is right in front of you. If you sing the opposite at this time, then you are unlikely to see the sun tomorrow. As for your loyalty to the Duke... let him go to hell. !
"Despicable! Shameless!"
"A villain with no chivalry!"
The Duke of Galicia's voice became trembling, but he still glared at the young figure angrily.
He extremely regretted his previous decision to hand over the Eastern Front army to Leon, but it was obviously too late to regret it at this time.
The situation is now very clear.
The Eastern Front Army departing from the city of Parma has been completely convinced by the cunning Viscount Antolia, and Count Brabant, who has always had a bad relationship with him, took this opportunity to resolutely defect.
The Duke of Galicia looked around, and there were only a few nobles who remained silent.
As for the Duke's accusation, Leon really didn't bother to pay attention.
Is it not considered a betrayal for Galicia to raise troops and march north? Doesn’t Perel’s fight for the throne count as betrayal?
He is doing this for the kingdom!
The banner of the kingdom's interests was raised high, and the argument of loyalty to King Wilbert I was extremely reasonable. As for the Duke's curse, it was just the anger and venting of a loser before his death.
"For the kingdom!"
Leon raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.
In an instant, Antolia's soldiers seemed to have received the order and swarmed forward, slashing with their knives.
The knight next to the Duke didn't even have time to draw out the sharp blade from his waist before he was stabbed several times and had his neck cut off by Antolia's soldiers. He fell down instantly, knocking away the wine glass and dinner plate beside him, and crashed into them. The wooden chair behind him was turned over, and the whole body was in a mess.
The bright red blood dyed the carpet under their feet, and splashes of blood sprayed on the nobles' faces, heads, clothes, and even the food in front of them.
However, everyone was sitting as stiffly as wooden stakes. Even though they were extremely frightened and even vaguely wanted to vomit, they did not dare to move or even make the slightest sound.
Because the goals of the Antolian soldiers are very clear.
Including the Duke of Galicia, all nobles who had not spoken out to support Leon before were all targets of massacre by the soldiers.
Even the nobles who supported Leon were extremely frightened, fearing that some soldier would forget his previous support for Leon and cut himself off with a knife.
For many nobles, this was the first time they realized that they were so close to death.
The sound of broken dinner plates, the dull sound of wooden chairs being knocked over, the hiss of clashing swords...
After a while of noise, the patriarch of the Braves family, the Duke of Galicia, who had been stabbed several times, finally crumbled in the eyes of everyone. of falling.
Under the Duke's body, crimson blood was soaked in. He pulled off the moonlight velvet tablecloth, and his wide eyes seemed to tell the Duke's unwillingness.
At this moment, he knew he had lost.
And not only him, the ancient Bravis family may also fall with him.
As silence returned to the banquet hall, Leon looked around.
What came into view was the mess on the ground, the red blood, the bodies lying on the ground, and... the nobles who had been frightened.
"Everyone!"
Leon took the bottle of red wine that had just been opened from Andrew's hand and personally filled the wine glasses for the nobles who were still alive.
"For the kingdom!"
Leon said with a chuckle.
