"Death, woman!" Vatel burst out with a horrifying roar, as if he had reached the point where Roger looked sad after he dismembered the woman.【】
However, Vatel's proud mood had just appeared when he felt a huge force coming from his arms, which made all the bones in his body creak. At this time, Vatel felt as if he had hit a cliff.
, no matter how hard you try, you can't make any progress.
The delicate Sophia who went up easily blocked Vatel's full blow!
There was a bit of a sneer on Sophia's charming face, and her slightly red eyes were full of cold gaze. She only raised one arm to block Vatel's determined blow, and used a voice that was so cold that it made people shiver.
Said: "The filthy undead creatures... have all been eliminated!"
As soon as the last word was spoken, Sophia raised her foot and kicked Vatel hard on the chest. Although her action exposed a whole pair of strong and slender legs in front of everyone, the others didn't care at all at this time.
Go up and enjoy the charming spring scenery.
Everyone's attention was focused on Vattel, and their huge and dirty body was kicked backwards by Sophia. It drew an arc in the air and then landed heavily on the ground.
Then it slid back for a while and finally stopped at Roger's feet.
As soon as Vattle's body hit the ground, he was completely unable to move. Although everyone could tell that it was struggling hard, except for the fact that it could only shake its head slightly, all parts of the body had completely lost their proper functions.
This scene made everyone gasp inwardly, and Sophia's eyes all changed. Everyone knows that undead creatures have strong vitality, and ordinary damage not only cannot kill them, but also has little impact on their combat effectiveness. And
Sophia only used a seemingly random kick to completely incapacitate Walter. You can imagine how strong she is.
The few nobles who had just gathered around Sophia to show their courtesy were even more surprised. They originally thought that this beauty was just a good vase, but they did not expect to have such strong strength. Especially two of them were rejected by Sophia.
The noble who planned to use force even scared the cold man out. If he really used coercion on her, he really wouldn't even know how he died!
Roger didn't care what others thought. He immediately picked up the tall candlestick next to him and smashed Vattel on the head. Of course, Roger could take out the sword from the castle warehouse and kill Vattel directly, but this was
At the New Year's dance, as a rule, no
People can bring weapons into the arena, but if they show off their weapons rashly, they are likely to give others an excuse. Anyway, Watter had already resisted, so Roger decided to simply kill this guy with a candlestick, which can be regarded as being beaten by Watter many times.
The bad breath you framed me with.
",!" The high-footed candlestick hit Vatel's head one after another, causing it to howl angrily. However, Vatel had lost the ability to move. He couldn't even dodge, let alone fight back.
arrive.
"Abominable undead creature, how dare you lurk inside the kingdom, today I will destroy you on behalf of the moon!" Roger babbled nonsense while hitting Vattel on the head. After dozens of blows, the soul in Vattel's eyes
The fire slowly dimmed and eventually went out completely, and its soul power turned into a ball of light and entered Roger's body.
Wattle, who can disguise himself as a human for a long time, is obviously a very advanced undead creature. Although its combat effectiveness is not strong, its soul power is unexpectedly powerful, enough for the Castle to train a team of soldiers.
After eliminating Vattel, Roger quickly ran to Alonso III, saluted him and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Vattel has been killed. I have lived up to your expectations and successfully completed the mission!"
Roger's words are very meaningful, giving others the impression that his actions are all based on the king's instructions. After all, letting an undead creature serve as a high-ranking official in the kingdom is definitely not a face-saving thing. If word spreads, not only the entire kingdom
With his face brightened, Alonso III's ability to manage the country will also be widely questioned.
However, Roger's words told everyone that Alonso III had already understood Vattel's conspiracy and ordered Roger to take advantage of the New Year's Ball to eliminate the spy. In this way, Alonso, who "discovered the undead creature conspiracy",
He would not be questioned, and naturally he would not do anything bad to Roger because of this.
Alonso is worthy of being the king of a country, and he immediately understood what Roger meant by saying this. He first glanced at Roger with admiration, and then said calmly with a calm expression: "Baron Li, although this action is sudden enough,
But there are still some flaws in the process, and dozens of nobles died unfortunately, so you should pay attention to this."
Damn it, my brother has clearly made meritorious deeds and still needs to be criticized. Good people really can’t do it. Although Roger didn’t agree with Alonso III’s words in his heart, he still responded respectfully on the surface: “Yes, I understand!
"
In fact, Alonso III just said this to show that he had already known about the actions at the New Year's Ball. Roger eliminated a serious problem for the kingdom and also saved Alonso's face. Of course, he must be well rewarded. So Alonso
Longsuo immediately changed his tone and said in an amiable tone: "But you have eliminated a serious problem for the kingdom. Even if there are slight flaws in the action, you will still be rewarded heavily."
Having said this, Alonso thought for a moment, and then said in a formal tone: "I, Fernando Alonso III, in the name of the King of Thorne Kingdom, specially confer Baron Roger Lee as a hereditary first-class viscount, and also reward him with gold coins.
Twenty thousand coins to promote Viscount Li’s achievements in serving the country!”
A title and 20,000 gold coins, not even a new territory, this king is also a stingy guy. After hearing the reward Alonso gave him, Roger couldn't help but sighed in his heart: Forget it, the main goal has been achieved anyway, let's just treat it like this.
The reward is an unexpected gain.
Alonso announced the reward to Roger in public, and then asked an old nobleman next to him: "Duke of Amazon, can you arrange it this way?"
Amazon is not young and is the chief senator of the Senate. The little old man was scared to death by the chaos just now. He had a good impression of Roger who turned the tide. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said: "We in the Senate have no objection!"
After Amazon's nod, Roger's title of Viscount was confirmed. All he had to do was wait for the Senate to send the formal document.
Roger only became a noble last year, and this year his title was raised one level. Many people looked at him with a mixture of envy and jealousy. But Roger didn't care what other people did to him. For him, being able to kill Vattel was the most important thing.
Things that really matter.
The Vattel incident occurred, and the New Year's Ball broke up. Almost all of the nobles killed at the New Year's Ball were strong members of Vattel's faction, and Vattel himself was exposed by others as the true identity of his undead creature.
He was killed just because of his identity. It turned out that the nobles who were attached to him were all busy with Vattel.
He broke away from the relationship and switched to the subordinates of several other big shots. Therefore, Vattel's faction, which was the most powerful in the kingdom, fell apart overnight. And other forces in the kingdom immediately took action to fill the gap left by Vattel.
There is a power vacuum to gain more benefits for one's own faction.
Because of Roger's surprise attack in annihilating Wattle, Hamilton's faction gained the greatest benefit. Although they failed to win the position of Minister of War, many of Hamilton's confidants were placed in the military department.
, there were even a few hardcore members of the Hamilton camp who entered the Senate and took root in the place where his power was weakest. After this great change, the Hamilton camp undoubtedly became the most powerful group in the kingdom.
The Duke of Hamilton even wanted to place Roger in the military or even the palace guard, but Roger declined politely. To be fair, Roger was not interested in political struggles. He just wanted to make the territory a prosperous land.
It is enough to live a happy life as you wish with the money earned from the territory.
For example, you can take a few beauties to bask in the sun on the beach of a private island and play in the water with them in swimsuits; or sleep with beauties in a room with air conditioning and a super king bed; or even take the girls on a vacation to the earth.
Such a thing was also in Roger's plan, but he just never thought about joining the political struggle.
If he had other positions, even if he had money, he would also have time. This was something Roger could never accept. After arriving in the world of Toulonzo inexplicably, he often wandered on the edge of life and death, and he had suffered enough.
, I will never cause trouble for myself again.
So when various forces were fighting for power, Roger had been resting in the Dragon's Nest Hotel. Anna would often sneak over to him, and the two would spend a romantic night in the hotel room. Sometimes Anna had to help her father with some matters.
When he had no time to come, Roger would either take a good rest or harass Sophia who was lazily nesting in the room.
Of course, Roger was not what he seemed on the surface. During this period, he also asked the Castle Commander to train some soldiers. Although Walter was dead, the orders from the military were still valid. As long as the New Year's Day
Once this is over, Roger will still have to leave for the southern border to participate in the war. In order to save his life in the war, he must have enough strength in his hands.
After several days of hard work, Castle Hub trained two teams of infantry and one team of heavy crossbowmen. These soldiers enriched the strength of Roger's men. Excluding the soldiers left in Kent Town, the total strength of Roger's men now exceeds
Two thousand, and except for the long archers, the rest are all the highest-level troops trained by the Castle Center, forming a force that cannot be underestimated.
As time passed, the day finally came for Roger to set out.
