184.Punishment that ends before it begins
184.Punishment is over before it begins (page 2/2)
Lord Wolfsbane waved his hand, like old men sharing secrets..
While chewing the bread soaked in tomato juice, he said mysteriously：
“As far as I know, just a few days ago, a group of psychic hunters under the Ring Tower were mobilized”
“they are already dead.”
Marshal Loren said expressionlessly：
“Your compatriots, the last remnants of the Blood Vultures killed them in a crisp midnight assault. A total of 600 heads were piled on the border of Transia, with the declaration of war of "blood debt must be paid with blood" written on it..”
“Um？”
Old Edward's expression changed slightly.
According to his estimation, the Blood Vulture clan, which had been severely damaged and was only one step away from being exterminated, should not have the ability to do such a thing. However, Grand Duke Wolfsbane acted calmly and waved his hands.：
“This is how we vampires do things. We will never wait for revenge if we have the ability. It seems that the Blood Vulture Clan has a real leader again. It is really regrettable..”
Marshal Loren stared at Old Edward's pretended calm expression. He was silent for a few seconds and suddenly said：
“I have definite information. Lady Shani, the Grand Duchess of Thorns, and her entourage also participated in that massacre..”
“snap”
The wine glass in Old Edward's hand was crushed instantly, and his expression darkened..
The remnants of the Blood Vultures who are wandering on the edge of destruction no longer matter..
But living in the Nordtov Kingdom, the very powerful Thorns Clan was also involved, and this was not a good thing. The Wolfsbane Clan and the Thorns Clan had never been friends, which made him immediately smell a wave of opposition directed at him. Coming with malice.
A thousand years of racial infighting has long made ancient people like Old Edward feel bored and bored, but the worst thing is that it is like a cursed game that never ends..
Betrayal, alliance, betrayal and strangulation, this is the eternal melody between vampire clans.
It's so annoying！
Ah, merciful Midnight Mother, why don't you send down a bolt of lightning to kill all those annoying bastard compatriots, leaving us, the Wolfsbane clan, to walk in the night to promote your majesty?？
“Let's get down to business..”
Old Edward took out his handkerchief and wiped the wine on his fingers..
He no longer smiled, but told his news without interest. He lost interest in pretending to be a ghost and said straightforwardly.：
“The mobilization of the psychic hunter force was not an order from the top of the Ring Tower. It was the private decision of the Evocation Master. Well, maybe he should be called the 'former Evocation Master', because on the second day of their departure, The Ring Tower sealed off the White Cliff territory.
I've received word that there appears to be a civil war among the psionicists..
I don’t know the specific situation of the battle..
But I guess that His Majesty King Louis will soon receive an apology that will make him happy, and the Evocation Tower faction, one of the three towers of the Ring Tower, is expected to welcome a new Evocation Master, and a A cold cleansing that would scare even vampires like us..
Those psionicists seemed united.
But their internal struggles are more naked, biting each other like a group of powerful beasts, always accompanied by large-scale executions. They always kill their own people more viciously than they kill others, and they will It's called the 'necessary price' of pursuing truth’.
So, who is the bad guy?？”
Having said this, Lord Wolfsbane stood up.
He sent the angry marshal enough good news to appease him, but he got bad bad news as a "return gift". This made old Edward no longer in the mood to stay here and continue playing charades with Marshal Loren..
Lord Wolfsbane said goodbye politely.：
“In short, I am here to advise you not to let the warriors of the Old Guard work too hard. Maybe you will soon return to the battlefield you cherish. After all, such a big thing as the Black Disaster requires an outstanding commander like you to be responsible for resisting..
I will send the elites of my family to participate in the Black Disaster. The Gray Claw faction, which is ambitious and eager to show its power, has set out as a vanguard to Transia..
Hope you can use them properly.
certainly！
It’s okay to be cannon fodder.
I don't like that overly ambitious heir. He worships strength but despises wisdom. He has no dignity at all of the Midnight Nobles.！
Oh, what an idiot. He looks so much like me when I was young. I thought he looked like me, so I trained him. But the problem is, he looks too much like me.”
After saying that, Old Edward took over his tall hat and cane, put on his monocle and said goodbye to Marshal Loren. He left the mansion and got into a black carriage and disappeared into the night..
Marshal Loren got the news about the Ring Tower. He didn't think it was Old Edward's fraud. The cunning Lord Wolfsbane knew when to tell the truth. In other words, the punishment for the Ring Tower had not even begun yet. It's over.
“fur”
Marshal Loren lit his pipe and blew out the smoke ring..
Under the gloomy evening light outside the window, he thought：
“This is fine, the kingdom needs to be united, and the head of a master of evocation is enough to soothe the anger of a dwarf after being exploited..”
With this in mind, the marshal summoned the silver dwarf priest to serve him. Under his instructions, an ultra-long-distance psychic communication was sent to the pioneer fortress in ten minutes. Fraser was still loyal to his duties. The major answered the call.
“You arrange it.”
The marshal said to the psychic projection maintained by two earth priests in front of him：
“I need to talk to the lord of Transia, tomorrow.”
“Yes, General. No, Your Majesty Marshal.！”
Major Fraser gave a military salute.
As for why he, thousands of miles away, could learn about Marshal Loren's promotion so quickly, it's actually not surprising.，
The Capet family is one of the three ancient nobles of the Kingdom of Zealand. They have great authority in the Kingdom of Plantagenet. As the young heir of a staunch royalist family, when Major Fraser was born, His Majesty King Louis even hugged him. Woolen cloth.
“After you finish this, go back and take a vacation.”
Marshal Loren blew out a smoke ring and said to the young man in front of him who he valued very much.：
“There are less than six months until the arrival of the Black Disaster. I will give you two months of vacation. After completing the major events in your life, you can report back to the fortress. Major Fraser, I guess your family has paved the way for you..
So, if you can survive the Black Disaster alive and make some contributions, I should probably call you Mr. 'Brigadier General'. Do you need me to prepare a wedding gift to send to the Cape family?？”
“Please be sure not to make such a joke, Marshal..”
Major Fraser shook his head and said：
“The country is in crisis, and the black disaster will threaten the entire continent. In the face of such a major event, my personal honor and disgrace and major life events are no longer important..
I have sent a letter to my father.
As long as the black disaster continues, I will never have a family. This is the oath I made for the country and Your Majesty. I believe my father will understand me..”
“But young people always want to taste the taste of love.”
Marshal Loren still wanted to persuade, but Major Frazier over there was a little impatient. He didn't seem to want to talk about this issue, so he answered in a somewhat unscrupulous way.：
“I regard you as my idol, Marshal. You are not in a hurry for major events in life. Why should I be?？”
“Um？”
The half-dwarf almost choked on the smoke..
He gave Major Fraser a hard look and scolded:：
“Go do something! Stop asking about adults' affairs.！”
After saying that, the long-distance psychic communication was cut off, and a few minutes later, the old silver dwarf priest who had just been guarding Marshal Loren pulled his hood and whispered to Marshal Loren.：
“You must go back to Silver Castle. Little Loren, the Supreme Lord and your cousin Lifruosa are waiting for you..”
“Based on the lifespan of a dwarf, my cousin is still underage! Gaia is on top.”
Marshal Loren covered his eyes in pain.
He retorted feebly, but the old priest rolled his eyes and took out a dwarf pipe, put it in his mouth, and said in a long voice：
“But by human standards, your cousin is already an old girl, and you can't keep her waiting too long! What's more, you both have a crush on each other and you're not a forceful person..”
“Don't rush me, okay? When I beg you.”
The marshal rubbed his sore brow and sighed.：
“I have a responsibility to my country and the monarch, so at least I will wait until the black disaster is over”
“But that's what you said before the Ten Years' War began.！”
“This time for sure! This time it will be sure, I promise！”
