(Second update, please vote for Sanjiang. Since some book friends have said it, let’s do the third update today. However, I am slow and may not be able to come out before 12 o’clock. Anyway, I may upload it in the early morning.)
Just because Earl Carter poisoned Baron Andre, Gale and he were already outright mortal enemies. In addition, there were a series of conflicts some time ago, and he was attacked by Bullide and possibly fell off the horse.
Geer also estimated that these two incidents of the accident were closely related to Count Carter, so from the beginning Geer had no intention of putting the pressure on the royal family and hiding under the royal family's wings to survive.
The best way is to uproot your opponent.
This is also Geer's current goal.
Now with the destruction of Earl Carter's most elite force - the Jackdaw Hand, it is the time when the entire Garro family is at its weakest, and it is also a good time to crush the entire Garro family into powder. It will be difficult to miss this time.
There is no chance like this again.
The reason is also very simple, just the private feud between nobles. As long as Earl Carter dies and the Garro family becomes history, then Earl Carter is worthless and the most worthless dead person, even if there are nobles who will help him.
A few words, but there will be no fatal force, not to mention the behemoth of the royal family standing behind Geer. The existence of Earl Carter has always been the biggest stumbling block that prevents the royal family from entering Jobna County. Now someone can kick this off for them.
Stone, they are also happy to see it come to fruition.
…
Mora City, northeastern suburbs of the city.
Garro Manor.
On the green grass by the roadside, a core area of the manor consisting of several three- and four-story buildings is located in the center surrounded by walls.
There are many flowers scattered on the lawn of the manor, among which Naxi flowers are the main ones. Now is the season when Naxi flowers are in full bloom. The pink and white flowers are clustered in the garden, making the entire manor seem like it is in a vast expanse of white.
In the mist. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the pouring orange-red sunlight enveloped the entire manor, as if the manor had turned into a lake, with hot golden lake water slowly flowing in it.
A carriage slowly drove into the manor, and some children who were playing in the manor and the maids on the side greeted them. Earl Carter also got out of the carriage with a kind smile on his face, and had some conversations with the children.
, entering the small building surrounded by crowds, the manor was filled with a peaceful atmosphere for a while.
The smell of Naxi flowers is sweet and fragrant. In the words of the troubadour, it means falling asleep happily in the embrace of your lover. This fragrance not only permeates the entire inside of the manor, but also covers a large area outside the manor.
For example, there is a small mound covered with dark green soil some distance away from the manor wall.
At the edge of this small mound, Geer couldn't help but sneeze, and his eye accidentally hit the back of the monocular, causing some pain.
Taking back his binoculars, Geer rubbed his nose. He didn't know that he was allergic to this floral scent. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was not a big deal. As long as one more night passed, he would not come here again.
After retreating to the small woods behind, there were soldiers sitting on the ground everywhere. Most of these soldiers who had followed him for almost three days were a little tired at the moment, but as long as they were given a little rest, they would immediately recover and be able to fight.
A good young man who knows how to kill.
There are some problems with the war horses. Although everyone has two war horses that can be rotated, the wear and tear on the war horses is a bit large. Now there are only more than half of the number of war horses left before departure, and most of them are exhausted. When it comes to the attack time later,
, most of the people here must be transferred to infantry.
However, this is not a problem. In Tafren, all the strength of the Brotherhood of Steel in the north was used to carry out an information blockade operation regardless of gains and losses. It was very successful in preventing Count Carter from knowing about the destruction of the Jackdaw Hand during this period of time.
This could be seen from the fact that he returned to the manor today instead of hiding in a well-defended city.
The arrival of Earl Carter also kicked off the upcoming attack.
Geer was not prepared to delay the attack until late at night. Although that would be more conducive to weakening the defense force in the manor, every minute and every second was precious now. Geer did not want any accidents to happen. At this time point, it was
When the main characters of the Garro family are concentrated in the manor, as long as they are all killed, it doesn't matter even if there are some clan members left outside.
He has enviable wealth without the corresponding power. I believe that there will be many nobles who peek at the wealth of the Garro family without the need for the royal family to say hello. They are willing to clean up their hands. Nobles have always been good at this professional skill.
"Irsod, prepare them to attack."
"Then, sir, how should we deal with these people?"
Ilsold was referring to the unlucky ones who were gagged, tied and thrown aside. They were all passers-by who strayed into the woods.
Geer looked at the people who kept making "woo woo woo" sounds, not sure if they were begging for mercy or cursing, and casually told Ilsod: "Let us go after this operation is completed. It won't affect you at that time."
The overall situation is over.”
Needless killings were not what Geer needed. When the news came out that Earl Carter had been wiped out, whether or not these passers-by testified would not affect Geer at all, so it didn't matter if he was released afterwards. Besides, after this period of contact,
, Geer also understands that Isolde is a very chivalrous person. If he orders the killing of these innocent passers-by, Isolde will eventually obey the order, but it will inevitably create a gap between him and Geer.
This is not what Ger, who regards Isolde as a good subordinate, wants to see now.
Geer's voice was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by these people who were not far away. Immediately, most of them relaxed, and the remaining sense of resistance was much smaller.
"Okay, let's get ready. The attack will begin in thirty minutes."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that Isolde was busy, Gerr found a tree and sat down against it. He took out some dry food and ate some. After he was about 6 or 7 minutes full, he stopped and began to close his eyes and rest.
But Geer didn't notice that among the tied people, there was a fair-skinned and delicate girl looking at him secretly.
Miss Evelyn Crookson has always been an outlier in the aristocratic circle of Mora City.
She is not sociable and does not like to dress up. She likes to read all kinds of books about knight legends and listen to the epic stories of bards. Because she is too addicted to her personal fantasy world, she has an eccentric personality and has always been excluded in the aristocratic circle.
That one, if her father hadn't been the deputy speaker of the Jobna County Noble Council, her situation would have been even worse.
Evelin also responded to this situation with an indifferent attitude. Anyway, she didn't like to get together with young ladies and young men who had no common language. She often went out alone pretending to be a commoner. The Fountain Square on Third Avenue in the center of Mora
It is her favorite place. It is the largest gathering area of troubadours in the north. Troubadours from all corners of the world arrive every day, bringing countless legends and poems to the city of Mora. Every day
It can give this alternative noble lady a new experience.
Today, because Evelin heard a foreign poet say in the Fountain Square that the Naxi flowers in the Gallo Manor outside the city were in full bloom, she specially rushed to come before sunset, the most beautiful time to appreciate the Naxi flowers. Unfortunately, she met Geer.
This group of people were arrested directly.
When Evelin saw that the bodyguard sent by her father to protect her was also caught and beaten up for resisting, her heart suddenly went cold. What kind of abuse, beating, rape?
Then she dismembered the body and a series of snippets from the taboo novels she had peeked at all rushed into her head, frightening her so much that her body's excretory organs almost failed.
It wasn't until Geer came into her sight and was talking about how to deal with the prisoners that he finally made the decision to let the prisoners go, which made Miss Evelin breathe a sigh of relief.
Only then did Evelin have the energy to look at this young man who looked about the same age as her but had become the leader of this group of tough warriors.
He didn’t have a handsome face, but he had a calm, firm and confident temperament when he walked, especially his eyes. When they first met, the thing that left the deepest impression on Evelin was the look in those somewhat narrow eye sockets.
His eyes, which were slightly glowing with purple light, had an extremely fierce aura. Coupled with the respectful expressions of the soldiers who were much older than him, it further highlighted his leadership temperament, and the noble lady immediately attracted the attention of Geer and her.
The knight created in his fantasy world corresponds.
"This is the legendary knight? He looks so much like him, with his temperament! He has purple eyes and my hair is also purple. We are very destined."
Without the coercion of external threats, the aristocratic lady who was somewhat out of line began to think wildly again.
As an aristocratic lady who has been brainwashed by legendary novels and thinks she is ideal, Evelin's greatest wish is to find a knight who is just like her imagination as her future lover. This is a great ideal - for
For herself, this is a ridiculous ideal for her parents, who are planning to send her to an academy in the imperial capital for a good education and transformation. But now she seems to see hope.
Geer suddenly felt that someone was staring at him. He opened his eyes and followed the feeling and looked over. He happened to see a captured girl hurriedly shrinking her head and closing her eyes tightly.
It was obvious that this girl was secretly watching him just now.
"Sir, everything is ready."
Just when Geer was a little confused, Isolde came to him and informed him that preparations for the attack had been made.
"Well, let's start taking action."
Geer stood up, patted the dust on his body, and turned to leave.
At this time, Geer found that the girl who had just peeked at him suddenly started struggling, her face turned red from holding back, and her eyes stared straight at him.
After thinking about it, Geer walked over to the girl and took the cloth that blocked the girl's mouth to see what she wanted to say.
"Are you...are you a knight?" The noble lady was a little shy when she tried to strike up a conversation for the first time.
Geer thought she was asking if he was a knight, so he frowned slightly and answered patiently: "Yes."
Evelin became excited in an instant. She had never felt that she was so close to her dream. Suddenly a heat rose from her belly, with a tingling feeling flowing throughout her body, but at the same time she felt something strange.
The embarrassing thing is that when she gets excited, she feels the need to urinate, and it will be too late soon...
"Sir Knight, I...I want...it's convenient...it's convenient..." Evelin was extremely embarrassed and angry for a moment. This was the first official meeting, which made her so embarrassed.
But the embarrassment is yet to come.
Hearing this request, Geer raised his eyebrows, stuffed the cloth back into her mouth, and said, "It's convenient like this." Then he turned and left.
The innocent noble lady was stunned.
How come this is completely different from the one in the novel!
