Richard’s words made Lint fall into silence. As a Marquis of the Lanster family, it is impossible for him to say that he has never had any ideas. The more capable and thoughtful a person like Lint is, the more he feels in his heart. The more arrogant he becomes.
Why didn’t Lint think about this position in his heart? When Weilu was here, Lint might have thought he was a little stupid, but he still had to admit that as the eldest brother among them, Weiru’s prestige and strength were still sufficient. Both his character and character were passable, so he didn’t have much objection to inheriting the position of Marquis.
But because Marquis Wade and Wei Lu died in battle, the successor is now James, whom Lint has always disliked. It’s strange that Lint has no idea in his mind. It’s just that according to the rules of the kingdom, Lint has fought continuously. He had no qualifications. In the eyes of everyone, he left Piaoxue City in despair.
“This is against the rules of the kingdom.”
Although he had some thoughts in his heart, Lin Te did not agree immediately. People like Lin Te are sometimes limited by the environment and the times. They still respect the rules of the kingdom for hundreds of years, but like It is easier for people like Richard to jump out of this limitation and consider this issue directly from the perspective of strength.
“The rules of the kingdom are not applicable in the Northland now. If you want to abide by my rules, just tell me whether you want to be the Marquis of the Northland.”
Given Richard’s character, he rarely showed arrogance. Lin Te, who thought he had figured out Richard’s temperament, was a little surprised when he suddenly spoke arrogantly. After thinking about it carefully, he came to his senses. There is no way for the Kingdom to restrict the Hunter family now. The entire Northland is still subject to whatever Richard says. The rules of the Kingdom are useless in the Northland.
After reacting, Lin Te no longer hesitated, nodded decisively, and replied with one word:
“Think!”
“Hahaha, okay! From now on, you Lin Te will be the new Marquis of Beidi. Is this enough to repay the last war zone commander?”
When Richard was talking about the ogre disaster, the Lanster family made a stupid move and divided the northern lords into several war zones to resist the ogres. With the help of Lint, he was captured by Viscount Sauter. As a leader, he successfully integrated several nobles around the Hunter Territory. Lint’s wave of assists saved him a lot of trouble. At that time, Lint was not greedy for help like the Lanster family elders, but asked him for a favor, and this time he just returned it.
“Just give it a try.”
“Just barely is enough. From now on, Lint will also be a Marquis.”
This scene is funny. A marquis promised his subordinates the position of marquis, but no one around him felt any disobedience. The strength of the Hunter family had long exceeded the limit of a marquis.
…
Piaoxue City
Having just experienced a not too fierce fight in front of the Hou Mansion, James still had some resistance when facing the soldiers organized by the Council of Elders, but when facing Ou Ze’s First Legion, he could not resist. The ability to resist was gone. In a sense, the people of the First Legion only recognized Ou Ze and not the Marquis of Beidi. Twenty thousand troops entered the city and cleared the area around the Marquis’s mansion. With heavy equipment laid out, the Marquis The courage of the guards in the mansion has already been half lost.
The posture and numbers were not comparable to those of the earlier Elder Council, and the remaining three legions did not respond to the movements of the first legion. They continued to pretend to be dead in their respective stations. The three newly built by James This legion was really penetrated too deeply by the Council of Elders and could not be commanded at the critical moment.
The result can be imagined. The soldiers of the First Legion filed in through the gate that had not yet been repaired. Faced with this crushing numerical advantage, the guards of the Hou Mansion symbolically resisted for a while and then most of them were captured without mercy. , only some diehards followed James and resisted until the end.
Dozens of corpses were piled on the ground in the courtyard of the Marquis Mansion. Only James was captured alive because of Ozer’s order, and he was surrounded by two knights from the First Legion and a large group of soldiers.
“Kill!”
“Come on! Kill me!”
“You rebels!”
James, who was covered in blood, looked crazy at this time. His fighting spirit had been exhausted, and he must have suffered a lot of injuries. His movements of swinging the sword were a little crooked. Let alone the knight, ordinary soldiers at this time Maybe they can block his attacks. If it weren’t for his identity as Beidi Hou, he would have been chopped into pieces.
“Cang!”
“Bang!”
When James swung his sword again and tried to attack a soldier beside him, a long sword easily caught his weapon, and then a huge force came. James could not steady his sword at all and could only Get rid of it.
Then the visitor was not polite and kicked James. James, whose physical strength had been exhausted to the limit, fell to the ground and did not want to move, and finally stopped.
“Ou Ze, you traitor!”
“Rebel? No, my loyalty to the Lanster family has never diminished. It’s just that you are not worthy of representing the Lanster family. Do you think so, Elder Igor?”
“James, don’t be stubborn and just wait for Master Richard and Master Lint to arrive in Piaoxue City.”
“Old man? Do you think that if you take me down, you guys will have a chance to get your hands on the title?”
“That has nothing to do with you.”
“Come here, take him down!”
The soldiers who had been prepared quickly tied James up with special ropes. No matter how much he yelled and cursed, they ignored him and took him directly to the dark room of the Marquis Mansion for custody.
This was originally a place used by the Hou Mansion to punish servants who had committed crimes, but in the end it was also used on James.
“Commander of the Ozer Army, we still need you to maintain the city these days. Don’t let anything happen.”
“Don’t worry, as long as nothing happens to your three legions, there won’t be any trouble in Piaoxue City.”
“That’s good…”
…
At night, Piaoxue City was originally the most prosperous city in the North, with some nightlife. However, two battles broke out around the Hou Mansion in the past two days. The First Army Corps is still patrolling the city. Anyone with a little brain People stayed at home and did not dare to go out. The whole city seemed dead at night.
James, who was imprisoned in a small dark room, had completely lost his fighting spirit. After recovering his physical strength, he did not use the Qi-Entraining Technique to restore his fighting spirit. He was restrained and paralyzed in a pile of dry firewood with his eyes blank.
“Who?”
“It’s me.”
At this time, there was a movement outside. Someone was approaching, alerting the guards outside the door.
“It turns out to be the third young master.”
The person who came was the third son of Marquis Wade and Lint’s third brother, Andrzej Lanster. He was the least significant of the sons of Marquis Wade. In terms of strength, he was not as strong as the eldest and the elder. Second, he only has the strength of a quasi-knight, and his management ability is far inferior to that of Lin Te.
Although the guards still called the Third Young Master, the guy in their hands did not relax at all. They didn’t really recognize the Lanster family.
“Why are you here so late, Third Young Master?”
“I’m here to see my second brother and bring him some food. It’s been a day and none of you have brought him any food.”
“Third Young Master, Lord Ozer’s order is that no one can enter. Besides, Lord James is a knight. He can’t starve in a day or two. You’d better go back.”
“Why, in this Marquis Mansion, why don’t I come and bring some food to my second brother?”
There was some dissatisfaction in Anjie’s words. In the past, these soldiers would have been immediately frightened, but now several soldiers showed no expression and just said:
“No one can enter without Lord Ou Ze’s order.”
This attitude makes it clear that it will not give Andrzej any face.
At this time, Anjie reluctantly took out a warrant from his body and handed it to the leading captain. The other party took the warrant and looked at it carefully. The seal on it seemed to be Ou Ze’s. But how could he, a squad leader, have the ability to tell the truth from the false?
He hesitated and said.
“I’ll ask Mr. Ou Ze again.”
“Master Ou Ze has already rested. Do you want to wake him up for such a trivial matter?”
“I’ll just go in and see my second brother, give him some food and then leave. It’s not a big deal.”
“Okay, hurry up.”
After saying that, the captain asked a few soldiers to open the door and let Andrzej into the dark room. Andrzej did not make it difficult for him. He entered for a moment and then left quickly…
