Chapter 142: The agency is exhausted
Count Tarahan sat in the carriage, feeling uneasy.
The inner layer of this carriage is made of fine iron, which is definitely strong enough. As long as the car door is closed at the critical moment, it is like a fake copper wall. Even if hundreds of people are besieged, he will not be able to do anything for a moment or three.
In other words, he's actually pretty safe now.
But he was still uneasy.
This uneasy feeling was foreign to him, and he hadn't experienced it for many years.
The last time I felt this way was more than thirty years ago. At that time, he had just succeeded the earl, and he wanted to inherit the legacy of his grandfather and father, and to go further on this basis, to strengthen his power and consolidate his rule. After thinking about it, I decided to start with the old pioneers in the northern region of the kingdom.
Most of these old pioneering leaders were established by the pioneers of the former kingdom era. They were generally strong adventurers. When they were old or tired of fighting in the rivers and lakes, they established their own villages and lived in seclusion. The previous dynasty was very different from the current dynasty. The treatment of these adventurers was extremely favorable. Even if they refused to swear allegiance, they were willing to admit their ownership of the territory. Therefore, there were many such pioneering villages on the borders of the kingdom.
Later, the previous dynasty was replaced by this dynasty. These pioneering villages united to protect the orphans of the previous dynasty's royal family, and finally even assassinated the founding king of this dynasty. The relationship between the two sides was extremely bad.
Because of the supreme head of the kingdom, the kings and lords of all dynasties did not dare to attack these pioneering villages, lest they follow in the footsteps of the founding kings. The same is true for the first and second generations of Earl Tarahan. They knew where these pioneering villages were, but they pretended not to know at all and were doing things to hide their ears and steal bells.
But the three generations of Earls are not willing!
Long before he became an earl, he was investigating these pioneering villages. After a detailed investigation, he finally determined that hundreds of years of time had almost wiped out the heritage of these pioneering villages, and there was nothing to fear.
Although the founders of these pioneering villages were all powerful figures, for example, one man and one stick subdued the barbarians and mountain people, and the "Druids of the gray robe" Feiluman, who lived together to build villages; The two teamed up to suppress the "Sword of Demons" Kalipura, who suppressed the tide of the undead... But they are both characters from hundreds of years ago. The power of time can kill everything. When these heroes die, their descendants are not only Without their amazing talents, and without their experience of fighting with swords and swords, they can only rely on the guidance of their elders to cultivate, and the resources that a small pioneering village can provide are also very limited. Just like this, the descendants of the hero gradually disappeared from generation to generation, at best the level of an ordinary adventurer.
In order to make an instant hit, the Earl spent a lot of money to hire experts, formed a very luxurious crusade team, and swept all the pioneering villages in the north in one fell swoop. Among them, there have also been dangers. For example, the village of Faheti still retains the magic scroll left by the "Shadow Sage" - if the two sides reached a compromise in the end, I am afraid that the trouble will be to the point of burning jade and stone.
At that time, the Earl was almost forced to use his own life to verify whether the magic scroll three hundred years ago could still work.
Now he feels as if he had gone to the village of Fahti.
But he didn't flinch.
Crisis is an opportunity. Risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to get benefits, how can you not take risks?
Just like his grandfather, he was exhausted in his life, but he only expanded his power with the development order. It was not until his father came to power and removed a few obstacles by various means that the rule of the Tarakhan family was completely stable. How can there be no risk in the middle? The risk is great!
Not to mention, the enemy that I will face now is not the tail that my father left behind when he didn't clean up.
Thinking that the old Roca family, who thought they had died out long ago, still had leftovers, he couldn't help muttering to himself, complaining that his father didn't do things beautifully back then.
That woman must have been hiding among the civilians who had fled into the forest, and then escaped the slaughtering knife of the barbarian blood-washed manor.
Back then, my father shouldn't be greedy for so many people! If the barbarian army directly bloodbaths the entire town of Loka, and kills all men, women and children, how can there be any fish that slip through the net!
well! After all, my father was taught too much by his grandfather, and he was not straightforward enough to do things!
In contrast, the Earl has enough confidence in his means.
Just like this time, he was fully prepared.
When he reached the valley, it was said that the two sides split their troops from both sides of the valley to attack, but he would deliberately delay for a while, and then slowly enter the battlefield after the group of adventurers and the orphans of the Roka family had fought fiercely. In this way, when his troops arrived near the altar, the two sides must have almost decided the winner.
At that time, no matter who wins, the only thing waiting for him will be the Count's butcher's knife!
(It's just a little pity, that Eric's alchemy skills are really good...)
The count thought so.
But he never meant to let Eric go.
It's not a big deal for a royal capital to die outside. But if you are quietly imprisoned, there are more problems.
The so-called death without proof, a person can be fooled no matter how he dies. However, as long as people are still alive, all kinds of changes may occur.
In this world, nothing is impossible. Just like the enemy he is about to face, even if there is only one person left, he has the power to take revenge on the enemy.
The count shook his head, sighed, took out the jug and glass, and poured himself a glass of wine.
He was the only one in the car, not even a maid.
At the critical moment, he didn't believe anyone!
But the count didn't know that, just when he was pity for Eric, who was sure to die, in the valley where the battle was scheduled to start, Wu Mian was looking at the scene in the crystal ball in front of him and sneered.
Inside the crystal ball, is the scene where the Earl hides his identity and leaves Tarakhan City with his team.
"It's very murderous." Panda said, "I can feel it through the crystal ball."
"Of course, he wants to give us a pot." Wu Mian sneered, "When I reported to him 'certainly a demon sacrificial, suspected of being a big devil Lamer', he was first hypocritically surprised, and then he Make an appointment with us, and divide your troops to fight together... Hehe, what a beautiful idea!"
"When the time comes, he will delay, let us fight with Lamer's men to lose both, and then come out and kill us together." There seems to be electric light flowing in Sanyu's silver-white eyes, "It's a good plan!"
"Before you judged that he wanted to harm us, I thought you were unfounded, but now it seems that I am too naive." Anka sighed, "This world is really full of routines and calculations, which makes people feel very cold! "
"No matter what other agencies have done, I would never have imagined that we would have an air force reconnaissance." Panda's eyes flickered coldly, "In front of us, his little tricks are just a show of humiliation! Since he wants to harm us, he will be here in his lifetime. It's over!"
In a very high place above Tarakhan City, Little Eggplant was holding a crystal ball, photographing the scene on the ground and projecting it into the distance.
Every move of Earl Tarakhan has long been monitored by the travelers.
