Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 113 The Death of the Third Prince

As Charles expected, the three princes happened to meet together in Correa Forest.The cold wind became stronger and stronger, like an ice skate shot to the ground.A shrill and tragic whistling sound came from the originally silent Correa Forest.

The eldest prince Andres and the second prince Enkata met first, and then a fierce conflict broke out.

The later third prince, Xavier, was like a spectator, standing aside, watching Andres and Enkata's swords were drawn.

Looking at the dispute between the two, Xavier was also somewhat curious about what turned the two brothers who were once close to each other into enemies. Although the throne has this power, under normal circumstances, it is not always the first to work together to treat him as an outsider. Get out?Well, it happened to be convenient for him to fish in troubled waters.

But now that the dust is about to settle, there is a bit of disdain in Xavier's eyes.He is different from Andres and Enkata. The current queen is his biological mother. He knew several days in advance that a hunting conference would be held in the Correa Forest. Inside the Rhea Forest.

His good eldest brother and good second brother are turtles in the palm of their hands. A dozen dead warriors who have cultivated fighting qi, poisoned daggers, bows and arrows, even if they grow wings, they can't fly out.Xavier relaxed, watching Andres and Nkhata's dispute with interest.In his eyes, the two of them were already dead.

Enkata's mouth skills are very good, and after a while, the "kind" prince's face is full of anger.

The eldest prince Andres's chubby face was full of fierceness, his eyes were wide open, he was staring closely at the second prince Enkata, and he was holding the long sword stuck next to the saddle tightly in his hand.No matter what kind of character he is, as long as he is a member of the Aquinax family, he will inevitably think of force, which is the experience left by his ancestors.

"Enkata, do you have the guts to fight me? Let's understand the past enmity once."

Enkata got off his horse and pulled out his long sword from the saddle, "Although the scenery here is not beautiful, the burial in the huge forest is more than enough for you."

Andres' eyes were bloodshot, and his fierce face was full of murderous looks, as if someone had killed his son.He got off his horse and drew his long sword.He looked at Xavier and said, "Please ask the third prince to be a witness here. Witness that I will kill this brother who has no dignity."

Xavier thought they would have a fling, but he didn't expect that there would be a surprise.It's okay to die one, it will save his time later.

However, there was false sympathy on his face, and he was worried, "Andres, Enkata, we are all brothers of the Aquinacos family, and the brotherhood will chill the heart of the father."

The eldest prince Andres replied disdainfully: "Han Xin, I don't think so, maybe my father didn't see my kindness so he didn't pass on the throne to me. Now I want to prove to my father that kindness and weakness are not the same thing." I will prove my valor with blood."

Enkata didn't say much, he just glanced at Xavier, and said, "You just need to be a witness. You don't need to worry about the rest."

Xavier couldn't hide the sadness on his face, it seemed that he was sad because of his inability to prevent the two brothers from fighting each other.Could it be that the destiny of the Aquinax family is to kill each other?

Andres and Enkata approached step by step until their faces faced each other, and their sharp swords pierced into the sky.

Once the duel begins, no one will interfere until the winner is decided. Now the ceremony has begun, and the only thing left is Xavier's announcement.

Xavier also dismounted from his horse and walked to the right of Nkata and Andres.He looked around secretly, and Andres's face was full of unspeakable anger. It was a kind of resentment from the heart, and it was definitely not pretended.On the other hand, Enkata had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't take the eldest prince seriously at all.

Xavier thought to himself that Enkata's territory was on the west side of the Principality of Atum, bordering on the Principality of Sukale. Usually small-scale battles were indispensable. If you are overwhelmed by anger, you will surely die.At that time, you can make a mark to inform the dead soldiers that you only need to kill the second prince Enkata.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to get the throne. Let's fight. The more intense the fight, the better. It will be more convenient for me then.

Seeing that the two had come together, Xavier put away his fantasies of becoming a king, suppressed the joy in his heart, looked serious, and said solemnly: "As the prince of the Aquinax family, I am here to witness Andres The duel between Aquinax and Nkata Aquinax."

As soon as his words fell, Andres and Enkata started to fight. Just as Xavier wanted to take a few steps back to avoid being accidentally injured by the two, two stabbing pains came from his abdomen. He looked down and saw two Pierce the long sword straight into his stomach.

You, why.Xavier's eyes gradually lost their color, and his upright body immediately relaxed. He raised his head and fell backwards.Before he died, he glanced towards the east, which was the direction in which he arranged the dead soldiers.

If there is an afterlife, it must be done first.

Xavier's guards were startled, but the first prince's guard and the second prince's guards seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and they arrived in front of Xavier's guards at once.Under the pincer attack of the two, Xavier's guards were overwhelmed, and the eldest prince's guards seized the opportunity and took the lead with a sword.

However, the duel between Andres and Enkat did not seem to stop because of the death of the third prince Xavier, and Xavier's judgment was not wrong. Andres' anger was not faked out of thin air. The long sword slashed towards Enkata again.The plump body has unexpected sensitivity.

Who would have thought that the eldest prince, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, would be on par with the second prince. If one looked seriously, the eldest prince Andres even had a slight upper hand.

Bang bang bang sword clash sounded.

The two guards stood on both sides without any intention of intervening.

The cold wind lifted rotting leaves, gravel, and small stones from the ground.

Xavier's blood gushed out from his abdomen, soaked the ground, and flowed along the uneven terrain towards the distance.

The riding boots of Andres and Enkata kept stepping on the blood-soaked ground, and the splashed blood stained the boots and breeches.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and the sun also set towards the west. The blood-red setting sun shone on the branches without leaves, as if soaked in blood.

In the camp, Knight Bernard and Earl William looked at the exit of the forest. Today's hunting is almost over.

"Knight Bernard, will your Principality of Sukale hold such a bloody hunt?"

"No, never, Sukale is the principality of knights, and every knight abides by the virtues of chivalry. Most of the hunting in the principality of Sukale will be held on the wide grassland.

There is only one way for the knights to resolve conflicts, and that is to conduct a holy duel under the witness of everyone. "

Earl William looked at the blood-stained forest and felt a little uneasy. Is it really right to send troops this time? Can Luma Dukedom really bear the price of breaking the peace?

Can the nobles of the Principality of Luma, who have been in a state of peace for a long time, resist the attack of the Principality of Artem, which is so bloody and cruel?
Is the powerful medicine of the new king Ezil Asiri really suitable for the Duchy of Luma?

Will the new king Ezil Asiri not toss about, and the Principality of Luma can continue to live in peace like this.Earl William's thoughts were confused, the army of the Principality of Artem was not what they thought before.

The old king not far away stood up, looking far away, as if he was looking at something extremely far away.It seemed to be missing something.

Suddenly, nobles returning with prey began to appear in the forest.The old king stared at them for a while, then said calmly to Butters beside him: "The queen is old, and heartbroken by the loss of her son, she fell into a coma and passed away."

"Yes, sir."

"Send the eldest prince's illegitimate son, you go in person."

Butters sighed inwardly, "Yes, sir."

Butters can be considered to have witnessed the fate of three generations of the Aquinax family. Could it be that the Aquinax family cannot escape the fate of killing each other.

More and more nobles came back, and most of them came back empty-handed. In fact, not only Earl William and Knight Bernard were surprised at this hunting meeting, but even the nobles of Pella City were also surprised.Because there has never been such a form of hunting, it is not so much hunting as killing.

Therefore, many little nobles simply wandered around the periphery. Everyone chatted with the guards. It was safe and decent. It would also be a good conversation piece at banquets in the future. It could also show their bravery and laugh at those who dared not participate. coward.

As time went on, most of the nobles came back, and the prey they brought back were roasted on the fire.When the night gradually fell, people found that there were many vacancies in the seats.

Earl Geithner frequently looked into the Correa forest, and his heart felt cool. Both the eldest prince Andres and the second prince Enkata came back, but the third prince was still in the forest. He suddenly felt uncomfortable. Good feeling, the third prince will not die.He looked at His Majesty the King who hadn't changed. He should be fine.Maybe His Royal Highness is lost.

That's right, the third prince may have chased his prey too deeply and wasted some time.

But after a while, all the roasted prey was served on the table. Although Earl Geithner's stomach was empty, he had no appetite at all.Because His Royal Highness the Third Prince hadn't returned yet, he could no longer deceive himself now. Thinking of the tragic scenes that might appear in the future, Earl Geithner couldn't do it anymore, so he hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for interrupting the banquet. His Highness the Third Prince has not returned. Do you need to send soldiers to look for it?"

Geithner seemed to ignite a fuse, and people jumped out one after another.

"Your Majesty, Earl Bram has not returned either."

"Your Majesty, Baron Carles has not returned either."

……

……

The old king seemed to wake up from his slumber, and he regained his spirit slightly, "Why are so many people missing while hunting? What, Xavier is also missing. General Newt, send someone to search in Correa Forest. Bring back the lost nobles."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King."

After a while, there were really two wonderful nobles chasing prey to the depths of the forest, and lost their way when they wanted to return.This rekindled hope for Earl Geithner, maybe His Royal Highness the Third Prince was also lost.Yes, that's how it is. His Highness the Third Prince is thoughtful, so he may have lost his way.

The more I think about Earl Geithner, the colder I feel. With the personality of the third prince, how could he get lost.

Sure enough, but until the end of the banquet, the third prince Xavier did not come back, and the old king simply said a word to continue searching and left.

The little nobles in Pella City had no life or death enemies. They chatted outside the forest while hunting, and held a forest banquet under the leadership of the political officer, Earl Habib Bolton, and the diplomat, Earl Declan Wayne.Except for a few hard-headed people, almost no one died.

As for the dead Earl Bram, it was already a great deal of face for someone to help him. He didn't see that His Highness the third prince was missing, so the old king was not in a hurry.

Every generation of kings went up on the bones of their relatives. It is normal for a crazy emperor to emerge every few decades. Who knows if the old king is crazy now, so they dare not try with their own names. Well, depending on the situation, the old king's spirit is definitely not normal.

The night is very good tonight, as if it has covered the sky with a light black veil, and the stars in the sky are shining brightly, like countless fine sands, and pearls are inlaid on the sky.

Inside the house, Earl Geithner walked up and down, not feeling sleepy at all.

Out of safety and inheritance considerations, he did not bring his eldest son to this unusual hunting meeting.

Now his mind is very restless, although he has been deceiving himself that His Royal Highness may just be lost, but his reason keeps reminding him that His Royal Highness is dead.

So where does he go from here?

Do you rely on the eldest prince and the third prince?Earl Geithner immediately vetoed this idea, and there was no benefit in relying on the past, at most it would avoid liquidation, but this was based on his bet right.If he made a wrong bet, then he would jump around repeatedly, and the whole family might be gone.

Now he is like a gambler, his gamble has failed, and the next step is to cut his flesh and leave the game, or put the few remaining chips on the table.

The Coriopothes family has transformed from a merchant family into an earl family of the Principality of Artem, and they have a large territory.They have a stable smuggling channel with Luma Principality.

Earl Geithner's face changed rapidly. There were many reasons for him to leave, but in the end, the words and deeds of his ancestors came to his mind. It is not prudence to become an earl from a merchant family.It is impossible for him to cut his flesh and leave.How to get territory without gambling, how to expand the strength of the family.

In the end, he chose to rely on the second prince Enkata, and the Coriopothes family must not decline under his hands.

The second prince has the support of two earls, and the chances of winning are even greater. Moreover, in the east of the Principality of Artem, Earl Violet faces Earl Shire and the eldest prince. The territories of the eldest prince and Charles were wrapped up.

This time four hit two, how could he lose?
