It was Viscount Wayne’s fault for taking the risk to gather the troops and attack the members of the royal family. This was a sin. He would be dragged to the court of the noble and be punished horribly, a case to warn the world!
As for the North County, Viscount Kevin, who was loyal to the royal family, could temporarily take charge of the county.
Then eventually, he would have complete control.
“Hehe!” Viscount Wayne looked at the few barons and lords in front of him, and a hint of gloominess appeared in his eyes.
His family had been in the Dukedom of Leo for more than 300 years, and it was not something that could be easily questioned and overthrown. Now, these cute little fellows actually wanted to use him to exchange for the support of the South County. It was really laughable!
The danger that the Wayne family had encountered in the past was even more severe than now, but they still managed to survive it safely.
Sometimes, danger was not just danger.
It was also an opportunity!
“Enough!” Viscount Wayne gritted his teeth and slowly stood up.
Beside him, six grand knights who were glowing with light were standing beside him in unison. Clearly, these four people were Viscount Wayne’s trump card, and also the strength that made the nobles opposite him not dare to act rashly!
“Viscount Wayne, please give us an explanation!”
However, these nobles were not afraid at all.
Although they did not dare to use force, they could try to reason with him.
For example, they could persuade Viscount Wayne to put down the weapon in his hand, disarm himself and give up his right to command. After they took control of him, they could negotiate with the enemy commander. In the end, they could even go to the South County.
Wouldn’t it be great if they pledged their loyalty to Grand Duke Cameron?
They would probably settle the score when the time came.
They would also be able to obtain a lot of benefits that belonged to Viscount Wayne!
This was very common among the noble families, especially the small noble families like them.
Once they were able to take down a large noble family, they would be able to quickly grow into a middle-class noble family just by making a fortune from the corpses. Currently, in the Dukedom of Leo, many middle-class noble families were able to succeed in this way.
In fact, even Viscount Wayne’s family had achieved such glory in this way!
“Viscount Wayne.”
However, the three barons were closing in on them step by step.
In addition, the lords and knights at the back were doing the same.
Among these people, there were also three people whose bodies were emitting bright elemental light. They were obviously grand knights, which was why they were not afraid of the intimidation of Viscount Wayne’s six grand knights.
The battle between a grand knight and a grand knight could be either simple or difficult.
However, it was also true that neither side would benefit from the battle.
Usually, they would not fight to the death.
But things had developed into the worst-case scenario. The ordinary soldiers outside were still waiting for their answer. If they could solve the upcoming difficult battle, it might be a good idea for everyone.
Of course, it was not good for Viscount Wayne, who had to take the blame.
“I understand.” Viscount Wayne sat on the chair dejectedly.
Looking at the six grand knights beside him, he slowly waved his hand forward. “I didn’t want to do this, but now I have no choice.” It seemed like he had given up. The three barons and the other lords revealed relaxed smiles, and the three grand knights behind him had withdrawn all their extraordinary powers.
However, at this moment, Viscount Wayne suddenly looked coldly towards the grand knights beside him, “Finish them!”
“Whoosh –”
The sound of swords being drawn from their sheaths instantly sounded.
Just as the others were stunned, the six grand knights instantly pounced towards the three grand knights.
The knight swords in their hands stabbed into their bodies, bringing with them an extremely destructive power of extraordinary power, directly killing the three grand knights who had just relaxed and did not have the time to react.
Meanwhile, Viscount Wayne had already transformed into a grand knight who had burst out with an extraordinary power of fire, looking coldly at the lords in front of him.
“Let’s see who is going to compromise now?” he spoke slowly.
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. “Ah, you want to compromise, you also want to compromise, and you, you, you, you, you!” He pointed the longsword in his hand at the few nobles whose faces were extremely pale. “All of you have a share in this!”
“Viscount Wayne… you… do you know what you are… doing?”
The faces of the three barons and the other lords were all pale.
Cold sweat was dripping down their temples.
“What am I doing?” Viscount Wayne let out a sinister laugh. “What a joke!”
The longsword in his hand stabbed out instantly, directly cutting open the throat of the baron in the lead. The tip of the sword even pierced the back of the neck. “I want to do this! Are you satisfied?”
“You’re crazy!” the faces of these noble’s changed drastically.
Slaughtering a noble was a complete death sentence.
If they all died here, even if the South County knew the inside story, they would still investigate. Once they found out that Viscount Wayne was the murderer, a crusade would probably appear, turning the former viscount into a prisoner who had lost his honor!
The North County was not the same as East County, it was just a very weak county.
Whether it was economic or military, it was very weak.
The true foundation of the Dukedom of Leo was still in the South County.
In fact, if it was not for the Grand Duke of the South County, Cameron, who felt guilty about his own sister, Countess Agatha, and some of the deals, the troops of the South County would probably have been able to defeat the East County.
Of course, if that was the case, they would also suffer losses, and the Silver Platter Kingdom could only benefit.
That was why there was no internal strife.
But the North County was different.
There was no army that could resist the South County. They simply could not imagine what kind of judgment they would receive if they really went against the noble court that was controlled by the royal family and the high-ranking noble.
Even the family would probably be humiliated, or even destroyed!
But Viscount Wayne did not care.
The longsword in his hand swung fiercely, and the heads of those nobles and lords flew into the air.
Then it flew out of the tent and crashed heavily outside. Right in front of those knights and knight attendants who were still waiting for the news, it was completely turned into a rubber ball. It rolled and then slowly stopped.
“This is?! God, this is my master!”
“This is… This is my master!”
“What happened? What happened?”
It was already chaotic outside.
The knights and knight attendants were shouting in panic, and even more knights drew their longsword.
These heads were the masters of many people, but Viscount Wayne walked out of the tent and looked at the knights and knight attendants outside who were drawing their swords at him, he smiled. “Do you want to do something big with me? You might die, but you might become a real noble!”
The faces of the knights and knight attendants were stiff, but the anger in their eyes turned into shock and doubt. This was because the words of Viscount Wayne had completely moved into their hearts.
“Baron Kant, the second son of Grand Duke Cameron, and one of the heirs of the Dukedom of Leo!”
Viscount Wayne shouted, “We were originally going to attack him, but after seeing the power of Baron Kant, I think it’s a better choice to join him. If Baron Kant can obtain the position of Grand Duke, then we will be one of the meritorious men of Baron Kant. With this identity, how could we not be able to obtain the identity of a noble?!”
