Chapter 59: assassinated
In the next few days, Willy studied writing with Mr. Hudile in the morning and fencing with Ole in the afternoon. Both Hudil and Ole highly appreciate Willy's talent and diligence.
During this period, Bamos also brought news about the snow-patterned deer. Since the food of the snow-patterned deer was changed to meat, the food intake of the snow-patterned deer has increased significantly. But it is a pity that the snow-patterned deer still failed to develop a favorable impression of the baron, and there was no sign of surrender.
In this regard, Willy has nothing to do. His intermediate-level animal trainer ability can only generate affinity bonuses for bronze-level monster cubs, and has no effect on adult monsters. As for helping the baron tame the snow-patterned deer, it is even more impossible.
night.
After a day of study, Willy was lying on the bed ready to sleep after taking a hot bath.
Just now, he was a little sleepy, but Willy suddenly heard a loud roar from inside the house.
"All members of the personal soldiers! Fully armed! All assembled! Immediately, immediately!"
In an instant, the originally quiet residence of the Guards Department suddenly became riotous.
After Willy heard the voice of the assembly, his sleepiness subsided instantly.
In the few days after he came to the Guards Office, he had never seen such an urgent matter in the Guards Office.
Without any hesitation, Willy got up and changed out of his pajamas, then put on his custom-made light armor and helmet. Because the assembly order said that he was fully armed, Willy also wore the cross sword around his waist, and also clenched the long spears of the personal soldiers in his hands.
He quickly went downstairs and saw the crowd all gathered in the direction of the training ground.
When Willy saw this, he followed the soldiers.
"Captain Morion, what happened?"
When he arrived at the training ground, Willy saw Morion, the captain of the first division, who was commanding sharply, standing in front of the crowd.
Seeing Willy approaching and asking, Morion's stern expression subsided slightly.
For Morion, Willy's identity is embarrassing. Although he is a personal soldier, he does not belong to any of the three divisions of the personal soldier team. In addition, Willy is deeply appreciated by Lord Baron, and he is also a student of Lord Ole. Morion is the captain in name, but he is not easy to control Willy. Facing Willy, he could only treat him politely.
"The news just came that the baron was assassinated in the manor."
Morion explained why.
"The baron was assassinated!?"
After Willie heard this, he also looked extremely shocked. Although Baron Kells is not a big noble, he is a member of the noble class. To assassinate him means to be an enemy of the noble class of the entire Principality of Langton, and the consequences to bear are very tragic.
"Is Lord Baron injured?"
Willy asked quickly.
Morion nodded: "It is said that he was injured, but his life is not serious. However, Lord Ole was very angry. He ordered all the members of the personal corps to gather at the baron's manor and send them after listening."
Willy instantly understood the seriousness of the situation, and his life was safe, but he was injured, which meant that the stabbing operation was effective to some extent. For Ole, he was the manager of the Janissaries and the first person in charge of the assassination. When such a thing happened, he could not escape the blame. To mobilize the personal troops so quickly, it is estimated that he must quickly do the aftermath work after the attack.
"In that case, Captain Morion, I'll follow your first detachment first."
Willy doesn't have a team, so it's not easy to act alone at this time.
Morion naturally would not refuse.
In less than three minutes, the personal soldiers of nearly a hundred people had assembled.
The sub-commanders rode on horses, and the personal soldiers followed behind the sub-commanders and ran all the way.
Morion originally wanted to find a warhorse for Willy to ride, but Willy refused. Originally, his identity was more sensitive in the personal soldiers, and there was no need to specialize it at a critical time.
Baron Manor.
"Lord Baron, all this is my fault!"
Ole made a knightly manner, nodded and bowed his head, apologizing to Baron Kells on one knee.
At this time, Baron Kells was pale, shirtless, with blood oozing gauze wrapped around his chest, and his breath was a little sluggish.
"Get up, Ole, I can't completely blame you for this."
Baron Kells didn't mean to blame Ole: "When Langwo entered the janissary team, it was only after I hand-picked him that he was accepted into the team. If you want to investigate the responsibility for the fault, I will take the responsibility. that person."
"I just didn't expect... Lanwo, who has been in the Guards for more than ten years, turned out to be a traitor..."
A coldness appeared in Baron Kessell's eyes.
Half an hour ago, Baron Kells, as usual, was correcting documents in the study.
As the relationship between the Principality of Langton and the Principality of Vata continued to deteriorate, the pressure on the border defense line was increasing. Although Baron Kells has asked Earl of Rumbar to send troops for reinforcements, Earl of Rumbar has still failed to give any meaningful support Because in Rumbar's territory, not only Diamond Town and tile The Duchy of Towers is connected, and other barons and viscounts face more pressure on the frontier than Baron Kells.
Just when Baron Kells was troubled by this problem, one of the most trusted personal soldiers around him, Langwo, suddenly visited. Baron Kells was quite a surprise, as Langwall was not on duty today. But he didn't have any doubts, after all, Lanwo had been with him for more than ten years.
After seeing Baron Kells, Langwo immediately said that there was a border defense intelligence report. However, when he handed the document in his hand to Baron Kells, he suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Baron Kells in the chest.
Although Baron Kells had the strength of a knight, he was stabbed in the chest without warning. If he hadn't dodged immediately, he would have been stabbed in the heart. When Lanwo saw that he missed, he even sent a signal that five or six people in the tight baron's manor poured directly into the study and besieged the baron.
Baron Kells counterattacked in an instant. Even though he was seriously injured, he still relied on the knight's strength to kill three people on the spot, but the other three escaped.
The baron wanted to continue the pursuit, but found that the wound started to itch, and the dagger was actually smeared with poison. There was no way, Baron Kells could only give up the pursuit and deal with his injury first.
It was only then that the Janissaries and Guards discovered the anomaly here. It turned out that before the assassination, Lanwo borrowed his identity to transfer some of the surrounding personal soldiers and guards away, leaving only ten guards, who were silently killed by several assassins without any defense. The Baron's defense turned into a vacuum.
The enraged baron immediately ordered the entire manor and even the town of Diamond to be blocked, and the personal guards were dispatched. The assassin must be arrested tonight.
