Heart of the Castle

Chapter 153 Artifact Faith Crusade Army
Viscount Lane's eyes were as sharp as a knife, but the old butler Trion still maintained a gentle smile, standing there respectfully, without any rebuttal.This unhurried and gentle smile gradually softened the sharp edge in Viscount Lane's eyes, and then Trion heard the old Viscount sigh.

"Your idea is really too much. No matter how much trouble Li Wei is to me, his power is still part of the fight against evil disasters. I can accept finding ways to get rid of Li Wei and accept his power. method, but if you send troops to attack..."

"Master Viscount, as a high-ranking person, you can't be merciful. Didn't you show kindness to Li Wei with a pardon? But how did this little servant who doesn't know how to flatter treat your kindness? With fighting spirit Tore up your pardon! This is not just a refusal, but a threat to you."

When Butler Trien said the last few words, Viscount Lane's brows were already frowned. The anger in the heart of this powerful nobleman had been skillfully provoked by the old butler.At this moment, he had completely forgotten the murderous intent hidden in the pardon, and all his thoughts were focused on the fact that Li Wei dared to refuse and threaten him.

"You're right, Trien." Viscount Lane looked at his hands with a gloomy expression and said, "I really should be more decisive, Trien, call the knights in the castle to the meeting room, I want to hear their opinion.

Trion lowered his head, hiding the smug smile on the corner of his mouth. Although Viscount Lane still wanted to listen to the opinions of the knights, this old butler who was very familiar with Viscount Lane's character could clearly understand I learned that Viscount Ryan has actually made up his mind to send troops to attack Li Wei.

Just like his decision to deprive Li Wei of his inheritance.

Ten minutes later, the sound of clashing iron armor filled the conference hall of Viscount Lane's castle.The knights stationed in the castle all received orders from Viscount Lane and came here in full armor. They talked with each other and exchanged suspicious looks from time to time.Some of the knights thought that Lord Viscount Lane was about to launch a battle against the devil, but more knights expressed doubts about this statement.

After all, His Excellency, Viscount Ryan, has implemented a strategy similar to that of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields since the day when the disaster came, completely abandoning the defense of the villages and towns in the territory, allowing these villages and towns to be defeated by the demon army one by one.Although Viscount Ryan claimed that it was this strategy that made the demon army's attacks on the castle several times ineffective.However, privately, many veterans and knights rumored that if they had taken the initiative to attack earlier, the demon army would not have attacked the castle at all.

Viscount Lane, wearing a luxurious robe, appeared in front of the meeting room door. The knights fell silent and sat in their seats, ready to listen to His Excellency the Viscount's announcement of the topics to be discussed in today's meeting.

Viscount Lane's face looked a little pale, and when he sat on his luxuriously decorated high-back chair, he stumbled a little bit.

"Your Excellency, Viscount! Please be careful." Several voices in the conference room couldn't help shouting.Viscount Ryan supported the conference table with both hands, collected himself, and then sat down.

It seems that what happened today must be very unusual.

The knights exchanged glances with each other, and they all had similar thoughts in their hearts.Their guesses were indeed verified in the next moment, but although these knights were prepared in their hearts, they were still in an uproar when they heard this from Viscount Lane.

"...In view of the fact that the expelled trainee servant Li Wei has repeatedly rejected my kindness with his rude and arrogant attitude, his behavior has seriously hurt the dignity of the Ryan family. For the overall situation of the territory's fight against the evil disaster, Also to show the dignity of the Ryan family..."

When Viscount Lane said this, he paused deliberately. He stood up from his seat, pressed his hands on the conference table, leaned forward threateningly, and said with a grim expression: "I decided to attack Levi, and Destroy all the refugee camps he set up without permission!"

There was an uproar in the conference room.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, please take it back!" A knight sitting at the end of the conference table suddenly stood up, slammed his breastplate in salute, and then said loudly: "Li Wei has never committed any crimes. The matter of the pardon It's so ludicrous that even tearing it up on the spur of the moment would do no harm to the dignity of the Lane family."

Viscount Lane glanced over coldly, and the knight raised his eyes and looked at each other without showing any weakness.After a brief silence, the corner of Viscount Lane's mouth twitched, and he turned his eyes away.

"I think your viscount's reason for the crusade is very good." Knight Templeton with a scar on his forehead stood up, "since this little servant is still on the land owned by your viscount, according to the sacred laws of the Kingdom of Arthur , when the evil disaster strikes, he must obey the orders of the highest military officer here, His Excellency the Viscount!"

"That also depends on whether the order is reasonable. And I remember that there is a regulation in the sacred law. When the disaster strikes, if you violate the order of the military chief and win the victory, you will only be counted as half of the military achievements, and you will not be liable for violating the order." The charge of the order." Another knight stood up to refute, and Templeton retorted without showing weakness, and the knights who supported both sides stood up one after another, and the sound of armor colliding with each other rang out.

Every knight had the right to speak, and they all seized the opportunity, shouting with all their might.There was the sound of iron gloves slapping on the table, loud curses and growls from voices of different thicknesses, vicious sarcasm and cold smiles collided with each other, and some people left their seats angrily from time to time, but came back with suppressed anger.

In addition to Viscount Ryan himself, there are three people who have the most say in this castle, but now the genius knight Wilps and the venerable Grand Knight Herbert are silent. , and the old red-robed scholar Master Sujiade even said that he was sick and did not show up.Without these three people expressing their opinions, in fact, the noise in the conference room is simply a noisy noise with no effect.

Viscount Lane knew this very well, so he waited until the noise in the meeting room had come to an end, and then clapped his hands vigorously to attract the attention of all the knights who were glaring at each other and breathing heavily.

"Everyone's arguments are reasonable, but I would like to hear the views of the two great knight commanders on the matter of sending troops to crusade."

Hearing Viscount Ryan's words, the eyes of all the knights gathered immediately. The Grand Knight Commander Wilps who sat on the left side of the conference table subconsciously shook his head, and put his hand on the very neat and beautiful beard on his chin.

"I don't agree with the crusade against Li Wei, but if the decision to crusade is made by His Excellency the Viscount himself, the oath will bind me to carry out your orders."

There was a strange sound in Viscount Lane's throat, and his eyes when he looked at Wilps couldn't help but become gloomy.Although this talented knight has already stated that he will definitely carry out the order, it still makes Viscount Ryan very unhappy.

"I support sending troops to crusade."

The old knight Herbert on the other side suddenly said in shock.

These words first caused the meeting room to be enveloped in a strange silence, and then an indescribable noise erupted, almost knocking down the ceiling of the meeting room, and almost all the knights stood up from their seats , asking loudly to Herbert, the protests and shouts merged into a roaring wave that no one could hear clearly.

Viscount Lane slammed the conference table hard, making a loud bang, and it took more than a dozen hits to barely stop the cavaliers from making noise. "Very good. With Lord Herbert's support, there is no problem with the decision to send troops to crusade against Levi. Lord Herbert will be the commander of the crusade army. You can choose to participate among the castle's garrison knights." There is only one person who must participate in the crusade, and that is the quasi-knight Pammy Ston."

The name moved the old knight's face slightly, and then Herbert lowered his white-haired head towards Viscount Ryan.

"As you wish."
