Chapter 462 - After the End of the Internal Strife

Chapter 462: After the End of the Internal Strife

Viscount Wayne looked at the knights around him who had drawn their swords. They looked aggressive, but there was hesitation in their eyes. His breathing became heavier, but there was determination in his eyes and face.

This was the only way he could survive. Otherwise, even grand knights would not be able to fight against such dense formation!

There was a limit to extraordinary powers.

In a small-scale battle, they were an absolute trump card.

However, when it came to large scale troop battles, they were just a group of better elite troop class.

They could kill tens of times more enemies. However, when they were exhausted, they would lose their fighting strength and be knocked down by a huge number of enemies. Then, they would be killed, turning into corpses just like the enemies that they had killed.

Especially in the current situation, they were surrounded by a group of hostile troops that could explode at any time.

It was even more dangerous!

Although there were many knights and knight attendants on Viscount Wayne’s side, there were even more troops of those nobles that he just beheaded and kicked them like a ball.

There were no more words in the scene. The heavy breathing gradually spread. In the short period of time, everyone knew the situation through whispers. The reason why they did not launch an attack was because they lacked a leader.

The reason why they lacked a leader was because after they learned of Viscount Wayne’s words, their hearts were very moved.

They only needed another step forward to agree on Viscount Wayne’s term.

They just wanted Viscount Wayne to give them a convincible explanation!

“What did I say?” and Viscount Wayne gave them an out.

He puffed out his chest. The power of the viscount of the North County was undoubtedly revealed. He looked at the familiar knights, his voice was extremely high-pitched, “This is an opportunity, my friends. As long as we seize this opportunity, we might be able to usher in a new glory in the Dukedom of Leo and let our family step onto a higher ladder!”

The breathing sounds around them became louder and louder. Many of the knights even lowered their longsword. They looked at each other and looked at each other in dismay. Their eyes were filled with interest!

In this feudal era, who would really care about the so-called loyalty?

Don’t joke around.

Foolish loyalty only existed among the commoners.

Everyone here was all noble or quasi-noble with a family?

If they really sacrificed their lives for foolish loyalty, it would be really not worth it. They might even implicate their own family, causing their own family to be completely destroyed. Their descendants would also become lowly commoners!

Looking at the knights gradually putting down their longsword, the corners of Viscount Wayne’s mouth curled up into a smile.

The plan had succeeded.

However, his gaze swept to the side.

There were a few lords and quite a few knights there, and their faces were still filled with anger.

Viscount Wayne knew that these fellows were the same people as those nobles who had attempted to force him surrender his command. They might even be lying in ambush outside. If there really was a military confrontation, they would incite the knights outside to capture him alive.

Even if they could not capture him alive, they would not mind using his corpse. After all, the withdrawal of the army was just an excuse!

In the end, they would use the family of Viscount Wayne to appease the anger of all parties!

A Viscount’s family fortune was not small.

These barons’ stomachs were swollen from eating. Even if some lords and knights joined them, they would still have indigestion from eating.

One should not underestimate a viscount with real power. He had complete control over the foundation of a county’s noble. Although the North County was not that rich, and the land was extremely barren. Even so, after years of plundering and gathering fortunes, it could also allow the Wayne family to obtain unimaginable funds. For example, the vault full of golden eagles was an example.

Of course, Viscount Wayne would not say this. Otherwise, he would definitely attract the attention of those bandit groups. Even within his own family, there would be people coveting this wealth.

Greed could make people lose their rationality.

In this regard, Viscount Wayne expressed that he had the right to speak. After all, he was the example of the rich right now!

“Get ready.” Viscount Wayne nodded to the six grand knights behind him.

They all looked at the few nobles who were whispering not far away. Without the slightest hesitation, the extraordinary power on their bodies instantly erupted. They charged forward and launched a sneak attack.

Blood splattered everywhere. Broken bodies appeared in front of everyone. Those few nobles had all been killed.

The scene suddenly caused an uproar!

The surrounding knights picked up their longsword and pointed it at Viscount Wayne.

There was nothing they could do.

Anyone who found out that their comrade had been killed would do the same thing.

No one knew if they would be the next to be killed. This action made the hearts of the knights who had already moved shiver. They also thought of the decisiveness and cruelty of Viscount Wayne!

“They are all rebels!”

However, Viscount Wayne did not care.

He put away his longsword and wiped the blood on the blade, he said loudly, “I heard the private news about these nobles. They plan to overthrow the rule of the Dukedom of Leo. That’s why they organized to attack the pass of the stone wall. They plan to kill the second son of the Grand Duke of Leo, Baron Kant, and weaken the ruling power and dignity of the royal family!”

“What?” these words immediately caused an uproar among the knights around them. They all knew that they were in fact the invaders. They were the official bandit who wanted to attack the pass and rob the table salt.

Now that Viscount Wayne had said that, they still hadn’t reacted!

“That’s right!”

But in an instant, some of them reacted.

Then, it aroused the approval of more people. This was originally the conspiracy of the barons and the lords. As for them, they were just pitiful people who had been deceived. They didn’t understand what had happened at all!

Now, the lie had been exposed, so they understood.

Therefore, they would not continue to attack.

Instead, they would continue to show their friendliness to Baron Kant because of the respect towards the dignity of the royal family.

If they could, they could even follow Baron Kant and become a noble under him. They could lead their own troops and launch the most violent attack for any enemy who dared to provoke Baron Kant!

Soon, this conclusion was agreed by the remaining nobles.

Everyone stood together.

This was a good idea.

Then, under the command of Viscount Wayne, an envoy group consisting of two grand knights and ten knights was sent out.

In the plain not far away, Firentis, who was originally waiting for Rolf’s arrival, actually found that there was a serious internal conflict in the noble alliance army. They even fought each other and quickly calmed down. They sent an envoy to contact him.

Of course, the condition of contact was for both sides to maintain peace. In Firentis’s eyes, this was child’s play!

There was no such thing in the Continent of Caradia!

But in this world.

It was very different.

Those noble alliance army really dared to negotiate conditions. They even merged into his army to become an allied army!
