Plane Overlord of Rebirth

Chapter 794 The Truth About the Assassination
But what would happen if he married Countess Senilia?
With the support of Earl Wenner, there is no doubt that Senilya will ascend to the throne of the Grand Duke of Anfield.As Senilya's husband, Earl Wenner's status in the Principality will be at its peak.This is not only about strength, but also about reputation.With the name of his newlywed wife, he can completely control the wind and rain in the entire principality and become the real master.Moreover, in the future, his children will inherit the position of grand duke in a legitimate way.He doesn't even need to wait for his son, as long as an accident occurs and the Grand Duchess passes away, he can also securely obtain a high succession right as a husband, and finally become the nominal prince of the entire principality. , In fact, the real master.

This is already a very clear omen.Therefore, two weeks ago, after receiving the invitation letter for Earl Wenner's wedding, Lin Ao did not accept it. On the contrary, he sent a letter with strong words, scolding Earl Wenner severely.

Then, Lin Ao was arrested, and he was arrested in his own territory.

According to Lin Ao himself, he was attacked in his study.The three assassins lurked outside Lin Ao's study unknowingly.The moment he went out, the poison, dagger and crossbow arrows entered his body.Even so, Lin Ao didn't directly lose his combat power, and he still persisted under the siege of these three assassins for a while, and even under his counterattack, one of those assassins was killed by him.

But after all, they were three high-level professional assassins, and at the beginning of the battle, Lin Ao was seriously injured due to being ambushed, and was finally subdued and fell into a coma.And the strangest thing is that during the process of fighting those assassins, no one came to support him.

This is the thing that Lin Ao can't figure out the most.Logically speaking, he dealt with the assassin for at least 1 minute.This time can't be considered too long, but you must know that the place where he was ambushed was his old den!The guards near the study are definitely not weak. Even his most direct descendant, the Nolan Eagle Knights, will always maintain more than two elite teams, guarding Lin Ao's mansion.In addition, Lin Ao has become the patriarch of the Lambert family. Even if the quality of the family guards is worse than that of Nolan's Eagle's elite team, it is not much worse.

In this way, Lin Ao's mansion will always have at least 1 strong defense forces.Don't say it's safe, but Lin Ao himself can support those assassins' injuries for [-] minute. Logically speaking, the guards who protect her should have come to support her long ago.

But the strange thing is, until Lin Ao was knocked out and taken out of his mansion, these assassins were not stopped at all!By the time he woke up, he had already been imprisoned in a dungeon.

"There must be an inner ghost." Chen Ning made a conclusion that anyone with a normal IQ can understand.

Lin Ao's face was livid.Of course he also understands this, but the feeling of being betrayed and betrayed makes his heart feel like a knife.

Now, there is no doubt that the reason why Lin Ao was so easily captured by Earl Wenner into the dungeon of Anfield City is definitely due to the inner ghosts in his own forces.

Lin Ao can be [-]% sure who the ghost is.He still can't completely control his territory yet, and there are still forces against him in the Earl of Fletcher.These people were none other than the cousins ​​in his family.These people concealed the news of his father's death from him back then, and attempted to seize the family territory and divide the entire Earl of Fletcher into several small noble territories.

Such behavior was supported by Earl Wenner.The earl even secretly helped Lin Ao's opposing forces, especially when Lin Ao returned from Blood Wolf Castle with his military achievements, not only did he not stop, but intensified.Splitting a powerful earl with extraordinary potential into multiple small viscounts and even baronies is something the ambitious Wenner can't wait to do.

The main reason why they have not been able to succeed for so long is that the Lambert family is the traditional supporter of the Grand Duke Learman and the Baderman family, and they have also won the support of the Duke Party.Before the eldest son of the Duke was killed in battle, Wenner could not be too blatant and could only support him secretly. This is also the main reason why Lin Ao had been gone for so long and the Earldom still barely existed and was not directly split.

And when the Duke's eldest son died in battle, Lin Ao had already returned with his military exploits.His performance in the war is absolutely indelible. He ran for thousands of miles in the hinterland of the orc empire in the Eastern Wasteland, directly supported the battlefield of the Principality of Victoria on the northern line, and struck the most important hammer for the final victory of Grand Duke Victoria. , It can almost be said that he indirectly saved the entire Lions Alliance, his reputation soared, and he became the most anticipated emerging general in the entire alliance.

Lin Ao, who returned as a victor, still has a group of troops supporting him.Nolan's Eagle has already proved that the fighting power of this division of a hundred battles must not be underestimated. After the Ninth Army was disbanded, the troops that belonged to the Principality of Anfield originally returned to their respective formations, but It can still be regarded as a potential supporter of Lin Ao.It was precisely because of the guarantee of certain military strength that he was able to successfully inherit his father's title and become the real Earl of Lambert.

However, his cousins, who were supposed to succeed in the first place, were unwilling to welcome a Patriarch back just like this.These Lamberts who still expected to become a lord would never hand over their rights so willingly.

As a result, these people began to oppose Lin Ao's rule in the territory.Obedience and disobedience are all good, but he knows who is responsible for the bandit riots near the territory, but because there is no conclusive evidence and he doesn't want to make people panic too much, he didn't really take the ruthless hand.Otherwise, with a Nolan's Eagle Knights, even the orc army has been wiped out, what are those jumping clowns?
However, although violence cannot be used directly, it does not mean that Lin Ao has nothing to do with these guys.The dual advantages of orthodoxy and prestige made it easy for him to win this bloodless struggle using only political means, but it took a little longer. The advantage is great, and he is sure to win.

So those people took the risk.
