Tiehua County.

Count Moya arranged the welcoming ceremony.

The visitors are Gale, the eldest son of the Archduke of Armor Split, and Macol, the eldest son of the Archduke of Raging Tide.

Dusk.

The visiting team composed of hundreds of war knights formed a torrent and poured into the big iron door.

Marco is still young, his skin is a little rough, and his terrifying black-blue eyes are intimidating.

King Gale is not that young anymore, wrinkles have appeared on his face, and his brown-black hair is a little gray.

He looked very gloomy, and the aura surrounding him was also full of dullness and quite depressing.

Tiehua County and Honeysuckle County are adjacent to each other and very close to each other.

Tiehua County produces iron and is one of the transportation chokepoints connecting the Archduke of Split Armor to the outside world.

Insurmountable natural dangers can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.

As the right-hand man of the Grand Duke, Count Moya believed that as long as the flag of Tiehua County did not fall, Dragon Castle would not be threatened by any threat.

Honeysuckle County is a fertile land. It is said that seeds can be sown and gold can grow, and the land is so fertile that it flows with oil.

The honeysuckle is known to the world as the flag and heraldry of Gaelic.

The Archduke of Armorbreaker was particularly fond of his eldest son.

Honeysuckle County is a royally chartered county, and the previous Black Iron King personally made Gale the county king.

In Honeysuckle County, King Gael has various privileges.

The latter lived up to expectations and managed it in an orderly manner, making it one of the richest and most fertile lands in the Archduke of Split Armor.

Count Moya asked himself whether he knew the eldest son's nature.

He became the lord of Tiehua County twenty years ago. He has dealt with the Gale County King too many times, and he has also heard some rumors spread from Honeysuckle County——

On the surface, King Gale has a full aristocratic appearance, but secretly he is a terrifying character. If anyone makes a mistake in front of him, he will skin them and remove their bones.

He ordered everyone to act in accordance with their status and not to exceed it in the slightest.

His wife, the second daughter of the former Black Iron King, was caught by him being intimate with a certain knight on the campaign, so he ordered someone to break the knight's legs and make him climb a full circle around Honeysuckle's castle. In the end, he died an extremely miserable death. Because of this, the head wife shed tears all day long, and she still did not let go until she died of illness;

His children fear their father, and his grandchildren fear their grandfather;

The maids and servants were replaced one after another;

Everyone is living in fear...including even the instigator, which is horrifying.

To outsiders, King Gale's reputation was surprisingly good. He had a good upbringing, a good family tradition, and was generous and kind.

He never married for the sake of his official wife. He did not have any illegitimate children. He was loyal to love and tolerant to his subjects. He was like a model of nobility.

As a neighbor of Prince Gael, Count Moya had his own opinions on the eldest son.

The dinner was extremely lively.

The high platform overlooked the entire hall, with King Gale sitting in the first place, followed by Count Moya, and finally Macor Fury.

The three of them sat in a row.

Count Moya waved away the servants and poured a glass of wine for King Gale himself.

He is a bit old, tall and thin, with a strong personality, but he is very flexible in pouring wine for King Gale. He is a famous strong man in Tiehua County, and he is also a famous war knight after he mounts his horse.

Bandits, barbarians and pirates are everywhere, but Tiehua County remains motionless.

"Is the Grand Duke still not letting go?" Count Moya asked a little cautiously.

There is lingering gloom and depression on King Gale's face, but it is rumored that he has a kind and approachable face, but not everyone can see this noble person.

Some people say that appearance comes from the heart, but Count Moya feels that deeds do not care about the heart.

Gale said: "You made a big mistake and sounded the alarm bell. Do you know how frightened and angry the father was when he heard the bell ringing?"

The earl said bitterly: "This is our fault, but this is definitely not our intention! I only ask for the Grand Duke's understanding, and I beg the Grand Duke not to indulge in pleasure. At this moment, we should prepare our troops and horses to deal with future changes."

"Moya, do you know why my father doesn't want to see you."

Count Moya remained silent. As a minister, he could not see his lord's corruption, so he had no choice but to give advice every day, which annoyed the Grand Duke.

And the mistake made more than ten years ago completely caused the Grand Duke to neglect them.

Count Moya was in trouble. His grandfather died young and his father also died of illness. Before his death, he made him swear to guard the Grand Duke's bedside from now on.

Now he can't even enter the Grand Duke's Dragon Castle.

Now that so many years have passed, he can only ask King Gale to send messages on his behalf and pray for mercy, but it does not help.

If the Moya family gets into trouble, they will naturally have to bear the consequences.

But how will Tiehua County deal with itself in the future?

"I know you are loyal, but no one can persuade Father. He ignores that some people equate him with the King of the Plateau of Eagle City." Gale's brows were furrowed, and his face looked a little disgusted.

Count Moya only regards him as the eldest son and hates the King of the Plateau.

The mountains and rivers of the plateau kingdom were shattered, and the barbarians sent out troops to plunder, as if they were in an uninhabited land.

As a king, the Lord of Eagle City does not send troops to conquer, but only cares about enjoying himself, so his reputation is naturally very bad.

The Archduke of Armor Splitting was on par with him...

What a shame for the ministers!

"The Grand Duke will not fall into this situation!" Count Moya said firmly.

The Archduke of Raging Tide sealed off Sinnoh and the Holy See, while the Archduke of Oak watched over the Sea of ​​Hell to confront the demons.

Only the Archduke of Armor Breaker is located in the heart of the Black Iron Kingdom, the real rear area, and no flames of war can be ignited here.

Which reckless barbarian or pirate would dare to invade the Grand Dukedom of Armor-Splitting?

Who dares to rebel?

Who dares to disobey?

He claimed to be the right-hand man of the Grand Duke, so he had to give them a punch.

No one in this land can underestimate the Guardian Family!

"You misunderstood. I mean, are we going to go on like this? Sit and wait for death?"

Earl Moya was surprised to find that the face of County King Gale was overcast, as if water was about to drip out.

"What we need now is not stability! We have been stable for decades! The pattern of this land has been maintained from decades ago to now, and there has been no change. It is like a stagnant pool of water. There are wars everywhere in the outside world, but we can only turn a blind eye? Be a decoration?"

County King Gale looked at him with gloomy eyes.

Earl Moya suddenly felt cold behind him, and found that Makol was also staring at him quietly with his dark blue eyes. The eyes seemed to surge, and the waves were as turbulent as the tide, submerging him in the sea water. The water in the air wrapped around his neck, making him feel indescribably suffocated.

He suddenly had a premonition of something ominous, and the deep meaning in Prince Gale's words made him shudder.

"The Moya family will always be the most loyal guardian of the Grand Duke of Split Armor!"

These were his father's words before his death, and they were still as clear as ever after decades.

So he swore again: "As long as the Grand Duke of Split Armor gives the order, the Iron Flower County will surely come out in full force!"

"But can my father still give orders? His eyes are dim and he doesn't care about any government affairs. He can't even stand up. Can he still lead us through the thorns?" Prince Gale gritted his teeth, holding back his anger, and felt a sense of oppression and dullness.

"He can't do it! He is not qualified! This land needs a new ruler! It needs a Grand Duke of Split Armor who is in line with the trend of the times! Let my father rest!"

He looked at him gloomily, his face was quite old, but now his expression was relaxed, his wrinkles were spread out, like a withered flower bud with a second spring.

And the red eyes revealed a greedy heat, like the legendary, greedy, dragon eyes.

Count Moya's ominous premonition suddenly increased, giving rise to unprecedented fear.

His hands, which could hold a fifty-jin heavy sword steadily, began to tremble, and he could not hold the knife and fork steadily.

He thought he was hallucinating.

In this lively castle hall, guests were toasting and drinking, the banquet atmosphere was extremely strong, and the wine in the cup exuded a charming fragrance, making people dizzy.

But the two eyes never left him, staring at him, like a sharp dagger against his back.

It was like a burning flame of desire that could burn people to death, and it was like cold and wet sea water that could drown people.

What a great rebellion this is! !

Who is the rebel?

Who is the disobedient?

Those strong emotions made him dizzy and felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.

He knew what the Duke of Gale was thinking and was willing to serve him, but he would wait until the Duke died.

When the Duke of Gale was legitimately in power, Tiehua County would follow his lead and support their only master!

But is it possible now?

It's too early!

It's too early to say this!

He would rather not hear anything, and think it was an illusion created by the evil wizard in his ears, a trap set to cause a conflict between him and the Duke of Gale.

"Eat, eat..."

Earl Moya ignored the tricks of the evil wizard and vowed to pull the wizard out and cut him into pieces after the meal!

The Duke of Gale waited for the response of the Lord of Tiehua County, but he was disappointed to see that he fooled around so carelessly.

When Earl Moya reached out to grab the roasted food, a cold light flashed.

He was startled at first, and then saw a dagger with a silver glow nailing his palm to the wooden table.

The one holding the dagger was an equally old hand.

"The Grand Duke of Liejia has issued an order! Tiehua County has its own troops and despises the Grand Duke's authority! We are specially ordered to take back all the honors of the Moya family! Give him death!!" County King Gale roared, and his dark voice resounded throughout the castle hall.

"No!!"

When he realized what Gale was saying, Count Moya was heartbroken and let out a heart-wrenching roar!

At an unprecedented critical moment, he didn't know why he said no!

Was he resisting? Or was he indignant?

Or was he denying this order that humiliated the honor of the Moya family?

He wanted to clarify the facts to everyone!

They are loyal!

The honor that belongs to Aaron Moya cannot be taken back! !

They are the guardians of generations!

Count Moya pulled out his palm, and the silver-shining dagger cut the entire palm in half without any reluctance, and blood was dripping.

He was going to the bell tower to ring the alarm bell, just like his child did fourteen years ago. The power of the bronze bell would surely awaken the sleeping Dragon Castle, allowing the Grand Duke of the Split Armor to re-examine his principality and territory and sort out everything!

The soldiers of the Guardian family will go out in armor!

To ​​suppress all the betrayers!

There are still many things he needs to do, and many more...

But it was too late!

Because Makor behind him stood up suddenly, that time was only enough for him to let out a sad and miserable scream.

"Aaron!!"

Count Moya shouted the name of his grandfather.

The eldest son of the Grand Duke of the Wrath drew his sword and slashed hard. With a plop, the bloody head rolled down the platform!

The warm red blood spurted five meters away and splashed all over the steps.

In an instant, the whole banquet was dyed scarlet!

Many guests were stagnant for a long time, and seeing this change, they finally made various screams, cries, grief, and panic.

The knights brought by the Gaelic King and Macor also launched an attack at this moment.

There were casualties, resistance, crying and despair.

The whole hall was in chaos.

I don’t know who knocked over the brazier, who lit the curtain, and who burned down the beams.

The whole castle was on fire.

The flag with a large shield and sparks that had stood on the castle tower for decades fell down in the chaos and flames!

The towering bell tower and the hanging bronze bell watched all this silently.

It made a silent and silent tremor, as if it had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and pierced through the barriers of space.

The silence was deafening!

Boom! !

A young knight thousands of miles away suddenly woke up from his sleep, his body wet and terrified.

It seemed to hear a bell ringing from the depths of his soul.

It tore the bloody scar directly.

At the same time

Inside Dragon Castle, the sleeping Grand Duke of Split Armor opened his eyes. He seemed to hear something.

But the sound was far away and unclear.

He soon fell asleep again, his bloated and fat body as silent as a pile of corpses.
