Edward naturally knew that Rosberg was from the Duke of Hamilton's side. If he were to succeed as supervisor, Wattle's plan would come to nothing again. [] As a loyal lackey of the Minister of War, this result made Edward heartbroken. How could he
I don’t believe Lord Vatel would be so confused and let people from the Hamilton faction get involved in this matter so easily. In this case, not only would Farrell’s death be in vain, but even the cooperation with the Senate would be affected.
Looking at Edward's astonished expression, Roger knew that this guy couldn't believe that the news was true. He smiled unhurriedly and said: "Rosberg came to Kent Town as the deputy supervisor. He just assisted Farrell.
That's all. But...the news of Farrell's death has not reached the capital yet. I really want to see with my own eyes what Vettel's expression will be like when he learns the news!"
After listening to Roger's words, Edward finally understood why Mr. Wattle made such a mistake. It was all because he failed to convey the news of Farrell's death in time. This made Edward blame himself a little more.
Be careful, Roger actually revealed his "conspiracy" in front of him, this is definitely not a good thing.
"Why are you telling me this?" Edward forced himself to calm down and asked: "Also, since you already knew that Rosberg was the successor as supervisor, why did you still take the risk to go out to eliminate the orcs, and why did you agree that I would take people with you to act together?
"
"Didn't I tell you that I am a noble man with high moral character and am dedicated to serving the kingdom!" Roger replied with a righteous look: "Even if the supervisor is an old acquaintance of mine, I will not do such a thing to the orcs.
Just sit back and ignore it!”
Having said this, Roger paused for a moment, and then smiled at Edward: As for why I agreed to let you take people with you... it's because I'm not worried about letting so many of you stay in Kent Town. It's better to just let you follow.
Free bodyguards. With your protection, this journey will be much more peaceful!"
"You...you, hum!" Although Edward is a relatively calm person, he was still furious after hearing Roger's words. However, Edward did not completely lose his mind. He still remembered Roger's amazing sword and knew that he
He was no match for him, so he just snorted and strode towards his subordinates.
"Oh, it's so bearable." Watching Edward leave, Roger couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Why don't you do it? If you do it first, my brother can justifiably chop you into pieces."
More than ten paragraphs..."
"We have to take action!" Edward called all the team captains together and said to his confidants with a stern look: "The capital has sent a new supervisor. If we don't take action now, Master Wattle's plan will definitely
Will fail!”
"But... that Roger is a noble!" A squad leader said in embarrassment: "Killing the nobles of the kingdom is a felony!"
"Who said we killed Baron Roger?" Edward stared at the others and said: "The Baron died heroically while exterminating the orcs. It was the orcs who killed him!"
The other squad leader nodded heavily and said, "Yes, that's it! This matter has nothing to do with us!"
"Kill all the unreliable soldiers afterwards and say that they died in the battle to protect Roger." Edward said viciously: "If we do it tonight, is there no problem?"
"Sir, what should I do about that female knight?" A squad leader said with a lewd smile: "This girl is really beautiful, hehe..."
Edward knew that he had to give his men some benefits before letting them take such a big risk. He waved his hand without hesitation: "After you kill Roger, you can do whatever you want with that woman, as long as you don't leave anyone alive afterwards!"
"Okay, then we will wait for your order!" The squad leader winked at the others proudly, fully expecting the battle to come soon.
"That guy Edward, you gathered a few officers together after being provoked by me. You must be up to no good." Roger, who was not far away, said to Bonnie at this scene: "You must have discussed killing us at night.
Woolen cloth!"
Bonnie looked at those people from a distance and said in disbelief: "No way, attacking the nobles of the kingdom is a serious crime. These people are all officers of the kingdom..."
"Hey, you still believe too much in justice and humanity, thinking that others will abide by the rules of chivalry just like you." Roger smiled at the female knight: "No matter how many crimes you have committed, as long as you are not caught, then
You are guilty!"
Although she admitted that what Roger said made sense, Bonnie still didn't believe that Edward really dared to lead his men to attack the nobles. However, that night, it turned out that the female knight still overestimated the good side of human nature.
Since leaving Kent Town, every night when camping, Roger and Bonnie always set up a tent for the night some distance away from Edward and others. The two parties were originally on guard against each other, so Edward's arrangement for Roger was not suitable.
Opinion. Tonight was the same as the previous few days. Roger and Bonnie set up a tent dozens of steps away from the group. Edward and his men would not come to disturb them. Both parties deliberately maintained a safe distance.
This situation was no different from the previous nights, but it began to change in the middle of the night. In the silent wasteland, Roger heard the subtle sounds of weapons and armor colliding, and some people lowered their voices to give orders.
The commanding voice couldn't help but sneer: "Can you finally help yourself and take action?"
"Attack and kill the baron!" Here Edward gave the final order to his subordinates and ran towards Roger's camp at the top of his lungs.
Although Edward was wary of Roger's strength, he was not so scared when he thought that there were more than a hundred people on his side. A person's ability is always limited. After all, Roger is not a legendary strong person.
Or, Edward believed that his more than one hundred men were enough to kill the opponent.
The soldiers rushed towards Roger's tent silently. The sound of their footsteps could be heard far away in the silent night, but no one cared so much at this time. These soldiers were all carefully selected by Edward.
His personal strength is not weak and everyone is loyal to him. As long as Edward gives an order, let alone killing a noble, they will execute the order without hesitation even if they storm the palace.
Several officers holding crossbows followed Edward closely, and after approaching Roger's tent, they fired at the same time. After a sound of bowstrings, Roger and Bonnie's horses all neighed and fell to the ground. It was impossible for the two of them.
Escaped from Edward's men on horseback.
"Kill!" Seeing that the target's escape route had been cut off, Edward was the first to roar and led the soldiers towards the tent. Perhaps stimulated by killing a noble, these soldiers frantically waved their weapons and hacked at the tent.
The stabbings quickly tore the two tents into pieces.
The lustful captain was shocked when he saw this. He was afraid that the soldiers were going crazy and killed the beautiful knight, so he shouted loudly: "Stop, everyone!"
In fact, even Edward himself did not expect that the operation would go so smoothly. Logically speaking, a strong man like Roger should not be so vigilant. How could he be hacked to death by a group of soldiers in a tent without even being able to fight back?
After this thought passed through his mind, Edward quickly ordered loudly: "Everyone stop, light torches and inspect the battlefield!"
Edward's order was quickly implemented, and a squad leader held a torch and reported to him with a sad expression: "Sir, we didn't find the body!"
"No body?!" Edward, who was shocked, couldn't help but raise his voice: "They have run away!"
When these words reached the ears of everyone, both officers and soldiers became very depressed, as if the end of the world was coming. It was one thing to muster up the courage to kill a nobleman in the wilderness.
It would be another matter if the conspiracy was exposed. If Roger escaped and revealed the matter, everyone, including Edward, would be unlucky. Not only that, even their families would be implicated, and everyone would be implicated.
Become a slave and never be able to stand up again.
Many soldiers looked at Edward with a bit of resentment, obviously thinking that it was all his fault that pushed everyone into the current desperate situation.
At this moment, a torch suddenly lit up on a mound not far away, startling everyone who was at a loss. Edward instinctively went to the torch, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the person holding the torch was himself.
Roger was about to be killed. Bonnie stood beside Roger with a frosty face, silently watching everyone say nothing.
"Why did you people break into my camp in the middle of the night?" Roger seemed completely unaware of his current situation, but still put on an aristocratic air and said loudly: "Do you want to do something bad to me? I don't know that this is a felony.
?”
"Kill him and all the problems will be solved!" At this time, Edward no longer cared about disguise, roared and rushed towards the mound first.
At Edward's reminder, the other soldiers also reacted and rushed towards Roger with shouts. At this moment, Roger seemed to have just realized that these guys really wanted to kill him. He hurriedly pulled
Bonnie stepped back, yelling in horror.
Roger's performance gave Edward and his soldiers confidence that they would be able to kill this timid nobleman. However, it was too dark at this time, and no one noticed the playful look in Roger's eyes and the faint look on Bonnie's pretty face.
smile.
"Kill the men, keep the women first!" The lustful squad leader rushed in front of everyone and shouted excitedly. The situation just now made him worry that the crazy soldiers would kill Bonnie without hesitation, so
That’s why I warned others so loudly.
The team leader was the first to rush onto the mound. Just when he thought he was about to get his long-cherished wish, the scene in front of him made him disappear in an instant, and his whole body suddenly became cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
