Master Overlord
Chapter 7
In the stone chamber, the campfire jumped in the brazier and crackled from time to time, bringing light and dispelling the cold at the same time.
Arthur sat askew on the throne, one hand on the armrest, supporting his cheek, blinking from time to time, looking a little lazy, listening to the generous speeches of the vassals.
"My Lord, while winter is not over, we will set out right now, and we will be able to kill them by surprise!"
"That''s right! They probably think we''re fighting with Warcraft. If we arrive early in the morning, I can stand in front of their door and have a careful look at their surprised expression! I really expect them to kneel down and beg for mercy or draw out their swords to fight!"
"Beg for mercy, hum! My axe won''t promise!"
"We should be careful. Nick and Baggins are not fools. Since they have chosen to betray, they may have made some preparations, and it''s not easy."
"Bank, you are too timid! Even if they stick together with us, there is no chance of winning!"
......
The vassals all looked excited. Facing their eyes from time to time, Arthur just raised his hand and motioned them to drink.
When winter was coming to an end, Arthur suddenly thought of several barrels of wine brought from the castle, so he took the opportunity to give them to the vassals to drink.
Its name is: celebrate the success of guarding the fortress.
Since the victory against the giant hyena half a month ago, the horn has not sounded in the canyon for several days. Arthur originally wanted to say goodbye to the people and let them evacuate in batches, but the conversation turned into a crusade against traitors.
There are eight feudal nobles under Lingfeng castle. Originally, all eight of them should have been called up by Arthur to fight this animal tide, but Nick ulley and Baggins Batu did not bring troops.
This is a sure betrayal!
Because winter is coming to an end, Thorne has repeatedly suggested Arthur to attack them immediately these days, but Arthur didn''t agree.
Unexpectedly, there was a big explosion today.
"Sir, what are you hesitating about? When the snow in the North melts, I''ll cut off their heads for you with an axe!"
"Lord Arthur, Nick and Baggins should pay the price of blood if they break their vows. What they have done can only be washed with blood!"
......
Seeing that Arthur had been silent, they were worried that he was indecisive and could not bear to attack them.
Arthur sat up straight, raised his hand and motioned for silence.
"I understand what you said. I just said to ignore it for the time being, not to let them go."
"In that case, my Lord, why not do it now? Now is the best..."
Raised his hand, Arthur stopped the excited Andrew, "don''t take their lives immediately, it''s because it''s still useful to keep them!"
Arthur was kind to serfs and slaves, not only because of his values of nine-year compulsory education, but also because it was more in his interests, not just the heart of the virgin.
As the saying goes: the ass determines the head.
All the actions of the ruling class are to maintain its rule!
As the leader of Lingfeng castle, he is soft hearted to betray his vassal, which is tantamount to being a gravedigger for himself!
He is not stupid enough, and the worries of several people are completely unnecessary.
The vassals looked at Arthur with bright eyes, and their faces changed. Although they were still worried, their hearts jumped unconsciously.
"Now that your Excellency has made arrangements, I Grice will be waiting for your dispatch at any time."
"Me too, sir. At your command, I immediately split the two traitors with my axe!"
"My Lord, if we let it go for too long, it may damage the dignity of Lingfeng castle, and if we tear our faces with the two families, and they are close to the two families, will they......" bank said with some worry.
"It would be great if they were going to the green and campers!" Arthur smiled.
Hearing the speech, the vassals were surprised and thought Arthur was going to fight with the two families.
Arthur knew that they wanted to cut in. He waved to stop them before they could speak.
"Don''t worry, I haven''t been arrogant enough to go to war with those two families because I''ve guarded the fortress once." as soon as I heard this, the hearts of several people haven''t fully landed, I heard Arthur say again: "but people always have dreams. What if they come true!"
"Kidding, kidding!" Arthur quickly waved his hand when he saw that several people changed their faces again.
And these big men, just don''t trust him? What a joke!
"Winter is coming to an end. It''s a busy time in the territory. You can evacuate the fortress after straightening out your men and horses. By the way, there are many wines in my castle. When you return to the territory, bring some of them respectively!"
"Thank you, my Lord!"
......
......
Three days later, the vassals had evacuated the fortress with their knights and serfs, and Arthur demobilized the serfs back to the farm.
Thorne has asked the guards to pack up. After today, there will be only a few slaves left in the fortress.
"Sir, the horses are ready. Let''s go back to town."
Standing outside the stone house, Arthur turned to look at the fortress on the right and looked up at the still dark and humid canyon.
After staying in this oppressed ghost place for nearly three months, Arthur had the idea of leaving for a long time, but he suddenly had to leave and was reluctant to give up for a moment.
Finally, looking back at the nearly empty stone house, Arthur took the reins handed by the bodyguard.
Turn over and mount the horse. Six Knights open the way in front. The first four hold the flag of Lingfeng castle''s distant mountain and sword, and there are eight guards in the rear. Thorne is riding with Arthur.
"Let''s go!" Thorne gave an order. More than ten people took their horses lightly and were ready to leave the fortress.
"Wait!"
Arthur made a sudden noise, pulled the reins and turned the horse''s head.
Thorne didn''t know why, so they hurriedly stopped the team. As soon as they turned their horses to ask, they saw four ghost faced eagles flying over the city wall.
"Lord Arthur... Guard!"
Seeing Arthur dismount, Thorne shouted, turned over and dismounted, took out his sword and immediately stood next to Arthur.
"Don''t be alarmed!" Arthur stopped the crowd at once.
Four ghost faced eagles, one big and three small. Naturally, the big one is Dafei, and the three small ones are the three little guys just born not long ago.
Waving the wings, after a burst of flying sand and stones, four ghost faced Eagles slowly fell in front of Arthur.
"Goo!" Dafei shouted at Arthur.
Looking at the three little ghost faced eagles, Arthur hurried up.
"Lord Arthur!"
In the surprised gaze of Thorne and the crowd, Arthur directly picked up a ghost faced eagle.
The three little ghost faced eagles are as big as ordinary cats. Their feathers are still very soft. They are not as hard as iron as adult ghost faced eagles. The white bone on the bird''s head is small and clever, like a child wearing a frightening mask.
Since it''s cute!
"It''s decided. You''ll be called Er Fei, and you''ll be called San Fei and Si Fei!"
Looking at the little ghost faced eagle with his head tilted and looking curiously, Arthur named it directly regardless of whether other Eagles agreed or not.
"Goo Goo!"
Dafei waved his wings and shouted at Arthur.
"Come on, I can''t afford such a large group of you, and I need you to hold here for me!"
"Goo Goo!"
"It should be OK, but don''t come together. Just you and these three little guys."
Got Arthur''s answer, Dafei waved his wings happily and called twice.
"OK, I have to go. Go back and take good care of these three little guys!"
With that, Arthur put down the second flying. As soon as the little guy landed, he jumped and hid behind Dafei and stretched out his head to look at Arthur.
"Let''s go."
