Chapter 108 The mastermind behind the scenes, the oath of a deadly battle

The palace, inside the palace where the ceremony was held.

Witnessed by King Meredith and many ministers, Ron and Viscount Fast reached an armistice agreement.

The two sides held their swords facing each other, and put the two swords in the container at the same time, and then the officer covered them with red cloth and took them down.

At this point, the two parties are officially 'reconciled'.

Viscount Fast was relieved. Before the ceremony was completed, he always felt uneasy in his heart, but now he is fine.

Starting today, the Fast family is the best ally of the Arnold family!

Thinking of the good days to come, Viscount Fast had a smile on his face. As for those compensations... what compensations!
That's an investment!

Viscount Fast thought very openly. During the days he stayed in the capital, he was not idle, and participated in banquets on various occasions. There was no way, those nobles wanted to get information about Baron Arnold from him.

Although Viscount Fast didn't know much, he would put on airs if he couldn't help it, and used a little bit of useless information to connect with more nobles.

If it is possible to benefit from the other party, Viscount Fast will deepen the relationship with the other party.

This is the basic rule among nobles.

"Haha, Baron Arnold, since the matter has been resolved, let's go back together later. I wonder if I would be honored to invite you to my house as a guest."

Viscount Fast said to Ron in a very cautious tone, once the other party showed a displeasure expression, he would apologize and leave.

Ron glanced at him lightly, and said: "The matter is not over yet, go and watch."

Hearing this, Viscount Fast was taken aback, and the rest of the people in the hall were also puzzled that Ron hadn't left.

At this moment, there was movement from outside the hall, a man walked in with a gloomy expression, and everyone recognized who he was.

A minister snorted coldly, "Earl Eugene, you dare to come to such a solemn occasion with disheveled clothes. Can you afford to offend His Majesty?"

As soon as this remark came out, some people began to denounce Earl Eugene's disrespect for the royal family's offense.

Earl Eugene's face was even more ugly, his eyes fixed on Ron in the field, his appearance was like a cold poisonous snake that would choose someone to eat.

Ron was unmoved, and even laughed a little.

Seemingly unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, Earl Eugene turned to face the king, and was about to speak the words to declare war, but he didn't know that Ron preempted him, and he held back the words when he reached the edge of his mouth, feeling very depressed.

"Your Majesty, I declare war on Earl Eugene in the name of Lord Arnold!" Ron's sonorous voice resounded throughout the hall.

In an instant, everyone was silent, looking in disbelief.

Is Baron Arnold crazy?
Although Earl Eugene had just been defeated by Marquis Alfred, it was the Marquis who was facing him. The strength of the territories of both sides was not comparable to that of a mere baron.

In their eyes, it is not bad that Arnold's territory can easily defeat the Viscount of Fast, and has the strength of an ordinary earldom, but it is still a lot worse in the face of Earl Eugene, who can compete with the Marquis. .

Under the steps, the prime minister, the Marquis of Noches, glanced at the king's expression, and then at Ron and Earl Eugene, with a look of interest in his eyes.

Looking at Viscount Sturt again, he couldn't hide the shock on his face at this time, and there was only one thought in his heart, it turned out that Baron Arnold already knew who was plotting to kill him!
That's right, the person who secretly planned Arnold's territory was Earl Eugene, and it was his subordinates who made Karl pretend to be the illegitimate son of the former baron.

He was also responsible for the ambush by the Black Crow organization, and he ordered Viscount Faster to invade the territory by monsters. Many things were secretly calculated by Earl Eugene.

Ron had already learned the answer from Vivienne, and in order to ensure that it was correct, he asked Thomas to investigate secretly. Although there were only some clues and rumors, there was no direct evidence, but the combination of the two was enough to prove it.

Earl Eugene is the man behind the scenes!
However, what followed was a doubt, what is Earl Eugene's purpose?
mine?
No, there is a mine in Eugene's territory. Compared with the other party wanting Arnold's territory, it is more like targeting the Arnold family.

After speaking to the king, Ron turned and walked towards Earl Eugene, stopped three meters away, and said with a smile, "Count, have you figured out the reason for the war?"

"Humph!"

Earl Eugene snorted coldly, since his face was completely torn apart, there was no need to cover it up.

He also wanted to understand that the things he did were very hidden, and it was impossible to find clues, so Baron Arnold could only use this method to "revenge". If this was the case, then he would not be afraid at all.

Baron Arnold, you never know what kind of enemy you face!
I will use your blood to repay the humiliation you gave me!
"Your Majesty, I officially declare war on Baron Arnold! Please promise."

Earl Eugene smoothed out the creases on his clothes, and saluted King Meredith gracefully.

Compared with Ron's casualness, his demeanor is more aristocratic.Earl Eugene secretly disdained Ron's actions, but he didn't know the relationship between the Arnold family and the royal family.

The two families declared war on each other, so determined that King Meredith could not persuade him anymore, and ordered the steward to hold the ceremony of the battle of honor immediately.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. Today was really eye-opening. Just after the armistice ceremony was held, there was another fight. This kind of scene could not be seen for hundreds of years.

Witnessed by everyone, the two stood facing each other with their swords raised. At the end of the ceremony, Ron suddenly exerted force, and the shocking force was transmitted through the sword in his hand. With a click, the sword in Earl Eugene's hand snapped.

"This is the oath of death!"

Seeing this scene, someone exclaimed, the expressions on everyone's faces changed suddenly, and Earl Eugene was startled.

The oath of a deadly battle, as the name suggests, the battle between the two sides will never end.

"What kind of grievance is there between Baron Arnold and Earl Eugene? They even made an oath to fight to the death. The last time this happened was 20 years ago." The ministers talked a lot and seemed very puzzled.

Ron raised his hand, and the steward approached with the utensil. He put the sword on it, and then looked at the gloomy Earl Eugene opposite.

The reason for Earl Eugene's bewilderment was simple. He also wanted to break Ron's sword and take the oath to fight to the death first, but he didn't expect Ron to take the lead.

He put the broken sword on the container with a blank expression, and the official took it down. Every ceremony will be recorded in the royal family's reference room for preservation. These swords are also the same, and will not be used again.

In a weird atmosphere, a war declaration ceremony ended.

On that day, the news of the upcoming war between Arnold's Territory and Eugene's Territory spread at an extremely fast speed. All circles among the nobles heard about it. Some people who didn't know about Arnold's Territory were still inquiring about the details. At that time, he flattered Earl Eugene and belittled Arnold in front of others.

This kind of phenomenon often occurs among low-level noble ladies. After all, Earl Eugene's daughter is now the lover of Prince Baird.

Second Prince's Palace.

Baird also heard about the war between Earl Eugene and Arnold, and the fact that Ron humiliated him at the palace ball has always been in his mind. He also asked people to inquire about Baron Arnold, but sent out People either made mistakes and were dismissed, or simply disappeared.

It's really weird.

And this time is the best opportunity. Julie came to him just now, complaining all kinds of sad expressions, and he is not stupid. Of course, Julie did this because of Earl Eugene's instigation, and wanted him, the prince, to help him.

Baird had other thoughts. Although he didn't want Baron Arnold to feel better, he didn't want to spend his own money either.

So he decided to hold a banquet, invite dignitaries to participate, and then talk about the matter at the right time, implying that they want to support Earl Eugene. Presumably, as a prince, those people will follow suit immediately, so that they don’t have to spend money on their own. Money can make Baron Arnold uncomfortable.

Soon, Baird ordered people to release the news that a banquet was held in the palace, and the guests were all powerful nobles.

Just as Baird was about to express his intentions at the banquet, the first prince Felix appeared untimely and took Baird away.

Side hall.

"Baird, stop messing around. The matter between Baron Arnold and Earl Eugene is not as simple as it seems on the surface, so don't get involved." Felix said.

"how do you know?"

Baird was surprised, and then his face turned cold, "Hmph, don't worry about my business, don't put on airs of the crown prince."

Seeing his appearance, Felix looked helpless, "Don't worry about how I know, anyway, don't interfere, the banquet outside has ended earlier."

He gave a few words of advice, then hurriedly turned and left, as if he was very busy.

Seeing the back of Felix leaving, Baird sneered disdainfully, "I don't know who owns the last throne, yet they dare to control me."

He snorted and continued to participate in the banquet.

The king's palace.

After leaving from Baird, Felix came here, and he saluted: "Father, what you told me has been completed."

King Meredith raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "You seem to have gone to the second prince's palace."

Hearing this, Felix was shocked. It was not a big deal at all, but it took only ten minutes from the time he entered the second prince's palace to the time he came out. His father even knew about it in such a short time!

Of course the king knew, not only that, but he also knew what Felix had said to Baird.

He was a little disappointed in his heart, Felix was still like this, soft-hearted and kind to everyone.The king thought no more, and began to speak of something else.

The two then talked about the oath of the two parties to the death battle. Most of the time, Felix said and the king listened.

Meredith suddenly interrupted Felix, "Is Baron Arnold leaving in the afternoon?"

Felix was startled, thought for a while and said, "Yes, the itinerary submitted below is like this. Is there any problem? Father."

"No, it's nothing, you go on."

Felix didn't know why, so he continued to talk about his own opinions. Regarding his sharp opinions, the king was calm on the surface, but in fact he was very satisfied in his heart. It would be perfect if such an excellent successor could be as cruel as himself.

King Meredith thought so.

-

After leaving the palace, Ron and his party did not leave immediately. He went to meet his old friend in the capital, the owner of the hotel Reagan.

"You want me to open a shop in your territory? There are no doors. Your small place won't have as many guests as the capital. I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the rent."

After hearing Ron's invitation to open a hotel in Arnold's territory, Reagan waved his hands again and again, calling it impossible.

Ron chuckled, "What is a small place? Go outside and find out. Arnold's territory is not what it used to be. If you agree now, I can give you a shop, otherwise you won't have this good chance. "

People who knew Reagan tried to persuade him one after another, and told him about Jeff, but Reagan did not waver at all.

Suddenly, Ron asked suspiciously, "Could you be afraid of that thing in the Black Valley Forest?"

Hearing this, Reagan froze, obviously Ron guessed right.

"Have you seen it?" Reagan was shocked and very nervous.

"No, but there was a monster wave, which should be related to what you said." Ron said.

"Is your territory okay?"

Reagan quickly asked, the tide of monsters is no joke, many kingdoms have been destroyed by the tide of monsters in history.

"Of course it's okay. One last thing I want to ask you, do you want to come with me or not?" Ron extended the invitation again in a way between the two of them.

Reagan also knew Ron's kindness. Arnold's territory must be as prosperous as he said, but he is useless now, and it is enough to open a small hotel in the capital.

After a while, Ron walked out of the hotel. Without looking back, he got into the carriage directly, and the group disappeared at the end of the road.

Reagan sat in the shop, watched the carriage disappear from a distance, then got up and closed the hotel door.

On the other side, when the carriage passed an intersection, a shadow quietly appeared and was intercepted by Cliff. He was most familiar with shadows and had spotted this person early in the morning.

"Cliff stop."

Sig said, and then looked at the man who suddenly appeared, "Are you Mr. Crow?"

Crow, who was a second-tier professional to solve the slave case before, nodded, and after revealing his identity, he said in a hoarse voice towards the direction of the carriage: "My lord, there are people ambushing you on the way back. Thirty kilometers away, the number of people is 70, please be careful."

After Crow finished speaking, he sneaked into the dark and disappeared.

Victor looked at Sig and asked, "Is what he said credible?"

In the scene just now, it was obvious that Seeger knew someone, so when he asked this question, just as Seeger was about to speak, Ron's voice came from inside the carriage, "Go and deal with it alone."

With these words, everyone no longer doubted whether it was the enemy's scheme, and Victor took the first step to deal with the ambush assassin.

As for why Ron believed Crow's words, the reason was simple, because Crow was a member of Thomas' intelligence organization.

In that intelligence list, Clow's name was the first.

At the beginning of the establishment of the intelligence organization, Thomas immediately thought of the outstanding Clow, and he was very impressed.

Of course, as an adventurer, Kuro will not work in vain, and the reward is also very simple - a blue quality dagger.

The moment he got the dagger, Craw sold himself.

He swore that there would be no second dagger like this in the entire capital, so he agreed to Thomas' request without any hesitation.

Thanks to Crow's reminder, Victor dealt with the ambush of 70 people, continued to open the way ahead, and dealt with the enemies in the dark, so that the carriage could safely return to the territory all the way.

At the same time, it also brought back a piece of news to the people in the territory - another war is about to start.
