Villain Lord: Both The Player And The Protagonist Want To Kill Me

The Buton family has been operating in the Buton Territory for hundreds of years. This is the place where they made their fortune and their last dignity.

The castle in Buton City was not called Buton Castle. Instead, it was named Homan Castle after a person.

The reason why it is called Fort Homan goes back decades ago to an old man who was well-known in the royal city of the Andorra Empire - the guardian of the empire's borders, the strongest member of the Buton family, Sky Knight Homan Buton. .

In that war-torn era, the title of the Bouton family reached the highest level of marquis. Later, with the death of Homan, it was difficult for the Bouton family to have a powerful knight who could stand alone.

In the end, the Buton family gradually became lonely and became a branch of the earl family, leaving only the small Buton territory.

In Fort Homan, all the core members of the Bouton family are gathering together. According to the rules of the Bouton family, anyone who has reached the level of a Grand Knight (21-40) can participate in the discussion.

At this time, there were nearly thirty people sitting in the hall. Over the years, the Bouton family has been keeping a low profile and slowly accumulated some knowledge.

Viscount Bouton, who was sitting at the head of the table and dressed in regular clothes, clapped his hands. The noisy hall fell silent instantly, and everyone focused their attention on him.

Carl Bouton cleared his throat lightly and glanced across everyone's faces before he said: "Recently, according to news from the border, an iron mine was discovered at the junction of the Cologne Empire and our territory. I have sent people to measure it, and the reserves are about eight million tons."

"Buzz——"

Viscount Carl Burton's words seemed to ignite a dynamite barrel, and the originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy.

Everyone was discussing and shocked, their eyes filled with joy and greed.

"But!" Carl Bouton shouted coldly, his expression became ferocious and ugly: "But the Earl of the Cologne Empire, Eagle Lord Xiwei, wants to snatch this iron mine from us. This is what he sent. Border map.”

As Carl Burton spoke, he spread out a border map on the conference table with a "swish" sound. Everyone gathered around the map in confusion and stopped to look at it.

Then they were stunned by the Eagle Lord's tricks.

I saw that the original location of the iron ore in the junction area had been artificially drawn into the territory of the Eagle Territory.

"How, how can this be so?"

"This is simply too much!"

"According to the rules, this iron mine belongs to us. How dare he come to rob it?"

…

Everyone in the hall was noisy, not hiding their anger and dissatisfaction.

Carl Burton looked at the excited people in the hall and nodded with satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted.

"He is declaring war on us, thinking that we are a small viscounty, a tiny place that can be bullied at will!" Viscount Bouton's voice became colder and colder, like the biting cold wind on a winter night.

"But can we let him bully like this?"

"No!" The knights in the hall roared angrily.

"Our Bouton family has been dormant for so many years and finally found a chance to turn around. We must not let him mess with us." Viscount Bouton nodded slightly and continued:

"The Eagle Lord himself is an earth knight, and he also has a veteran earth knight named Clemont. This is our biggest threat. Apart from that, his group of armored knights are not something to be afraid of."

"So, in order to securely win this war, I used one-third of the mining rights of the iron ore to borrow three earth knights from the Earl."

"Now they have set off from the earldom and will reach the border soon."

"In addition," Viscount Bouton paused. He raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the young knight standing next to him, with a proud smile on his face:

"Jet, come show it to everyone."

"Yes, Father."

Jeter respectfully performed a knight's salute and then walked to the center of the conference hall.

He looked around at everyone in the hall, and under everyone's probing eyes, a light blue fighting spirit rose into the sky, and even his eyes were burned with blue fighting spirit flames.

The concentration of fighting spirit reaches the point where it spurts out from the eye sockets, which is the sign of the Earth Knight.

The entire hall burst into enthusiastic cheers after a brief silence.

"Oh my God, this kid Jet has advanced to become an Earth Knight? How old is he, twenty-one?"

"Congratulations, Lord Viscount!"

"With Jet and Iron Ore, the rise of our Bouton family will be unstoppable!"

…

The atmosphere in the entire conference hall became more and more heated. Originally, they were a little frightened when they heard that the Eagle had two earth knights.

Now the Viscount not only invited three earth knights from the earl, but also Jet, a total of four earth knights.

Now that they have the upper hand in both high-end and low-end force, what else is there to be afraid of?

Maybe we can capture the Eagle Lord and demand ransom from the Cologne Empire!

As for starting a national war? It doesn't exist at all. At most, they will face the revenge of the Golden Lion Duke, but the king will never easily start a national war just for a count.

The Duke's revenge is not a problem for them, not to mention that the border land is high in the sky and far away from the emperor, and there are many restrictions.

Furthermore, don’t they have the support of powerful nobles behind the Buton family?

"Ahem——"

Viscount Bouton coughed, and the noisy hall became quiet again.

"Go back and prepare for each other. Call up the militia and personal guards. When the three adults arrive, we will start to fight. If the Eagle Lord doesn't know what to do, we will go back and forth in his Eagle Territory and turn his territory into charcoal!"

In fact, sending troops immediately is the best choice, but it takes time to summon the militia, and with the three earth knights coming, we can't just let them go to the battlefield right away. How about serving them with good wine and meat?

After receiving the order from Viscount Bouton, everyone dispersed and went to make preparations. Only Bouton and his son were left in the hall.

"Jet, you have grown up, and you will eventually inherit my position. So from the perspective of a lord, what do you think?"

Now that there was no one else in the conference hall, Carl Burton stopped looking like he was sure of victory, and instead frowned and turned around to examine his son.

"What do you think? I think this battle is inevitable. Is there anything else that father is worried about?"

"When I was fighting the orcs in the North, I had the honor to meet the Golden Lion Duke of the Cologne Empire and his young son Xiwei once in our human coalition."

"The child was still a little bit older at the time, but his eyes were like a calm adult." Carl Bouton gestured at his knees as he spoke, and then continued:

"This person is not a brainless idiot. He is familiar with the characteristics of the Andorra Empire, and he must know that we will definitely invite foreign aid from the upper territories."

"This battle is not that easy. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy involved."

"Father, no matter what the conspiracy is, he will never count that I have been promoted to the Knight of the Earth."

Jet said categorically that he and Earl Eagle were similar in age, and he was a few years older than Earl Eagle, but the other party was already a count and had been an earth knight for several years.

For Jeter, who considers himself a genius, this is undoubtedly an uncomfortable thing, like a barb in his heart.

Viscount Bouton did not comment on Jet's statement, but gently straightened his slightly crooked collar, then nodded and said: "Well, then you go down and prepare well, don't take it lightly."

"Our Bouton family is stronger than them in both high-end and low-end strength. Please relax, father."

After that, Jet put one hand on his chest, performed a knight's salute, and then walked out of the room.

Only Viscount Bouton, who was still worried, was left thoughtfully in the conference hall.

Viscount Bouton even thought about whether the old knight Clemont had a Sky Knight who could break through, but he shook his head again.

Clemont is already very old and will never be able to break through the Sky Knights in this life.

…

The biting cold wind swept into the conference hall, blowing up the map on the table and making a "whispering" sound, which made people a little irritated for no reason.

Viscount Bouton smoothed the map blown by the wind with his hand, held the long sword tightly at his waist, suppressed the little uneasiness in his heart, and his eyes became more determined.

In the face of absolute strength, no matter what plots and tricks you have, they will pale in comparison!
