Whistling Manor.
Fang Yuan and Gray Knight stood side by side, looking at the lord's manor not far away.
Although Frey built a huge villa as a symbol of rule, he only came here occasionally when collecting taxes and going on vacation. He usually left it to a few confidants such as tax collectors and sheriffs to take care of it.
"I have found out clearly that the person in charge of this territory for Sir Frey at this time is Tax Officer Jamal!"
Gray said slowly: "He used to be an adventurer, and was later recruited by Frey. He should be the inaugurated assassin!"
"Assassin?"
Fang Yuan was slightly surprised. This was a more advanced profession than ordinary assassins. Although it was still far inferior to the Calamity Knight, it could still be considered a talent.
Being able to be recruited by Frey shows the other person's ability.
"However, the most powerful assassin is to rely on the environment to assassinate. At this time, it is an honest battle!"
The Gray Knight smiled, not worried at all.
Indeed, with the great righteousness of the principality and a team of nearly a hundred people led by two knights, it would be a joke if they could not take over the manor in front of them.
"In that case, let's get started!"
He waved his hand, and the fifty soldiers under his command immediately lined up in neat rows and advanced straight towards the manor.
"Let's follow!"
Fang Yuan nodded, and Gars immediately followed him with twenty people urgently summoned from the territory.
"who?"
This situation immediately attracted the attention of the manor. Not long after, a man trotted over and shouted loudly: "This is Sir Frey's territory, and everyone who comes is welcome! Otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation!"
"Common name?"
Gray laughed ferociously: "Knight Gray, under the command of Baron Shawshank, was ordered by the Grand Duke to attack Frey. Is it clear enough?"
Obviously, such an answer caused the other party to fall into great shock.
The visitor crawled back to the territory, and within a moment, the rapid bell rang.
"Run Knight, how should we deal with these mobs?"
Gray looked at the militiamen gathered in the distance, most of whom were farmers holding pitchforks, and couldn't help but have a playful smile on his lips.
No matter what, these are also the subjects of Fang Yuan in the future, so they must be given some face.
Of course, the definition of a mob already explains his tendencies.
"I heard... that Sir Frey is very good at winning people's hearts and has a good reputation among the lower class civilians?"
Fang Yuan suddenly asked.
"Indeed, he was even touted by the bard as the wisest lord in Stan because of his implementation of the 50-50 rent and no tax increase policy!" Gray replied.
"I understand, please give the order to suppress it!"
Fang Yuan nodded: "I once heard a proverb. If you give him a gold coin one day, if you don't give it to him one day, he will be resented. If you give him a slap one day, if you don't give it one day, he will be grateful. !”
When it comes to winning people's hearts, he can't compare to Baron Frey, who has been working hard for a long time.
In this case, we can only use iron and blood to tell these people who is the master of this place.
The people are snobbish. Even if every family has a Buddha, how long will it be remembered
The so-called benevolent government can be implemented in the future. If you want to occupy the entire land at this time, the only way is to kill people and exaggerate loyalty with terror.
"Wise decisions, and wise sayings!"
Gray laughed loudly and whipped his riding crop: "Charge!"
Facts have proved that in front of specially trained soldiers, a group of farmers holding pitchforks, no matter how many, has no effect at all.
Not to mention, Gray just charged once at random, and after provoking a few farmers at the front, the remaining people were immediately dominated by fear, threw their pitchforks, leaving a messy battlefield, and ran away.
"The ancient feudal kings often thought that because of their destiny, their subordinates should be infinitely loyal - but that was actually all a dream! Such a naive emperor often did not end well!"
Fang Yuan, wearing light armor, also launched a charge.
Under the powerful force, the remaining resistance collapsed.
"No matter how much kindness you have had in the past, how much can be left in front of the sword?"
Looking at the militia that was almost on the verge of collapse, Fang Yuan sighed silently and arrived at the lord's villa with the Gray Knight.
This is the villa of Knight Frey. When he is away, it is used by the tax collector Jamal, and it is also the core of the governance of this territory.
At this time, he was tightly surrounded by hundreds of people.
"Lord Knight... Jamal is inside!"
Several soldiers said flatteringly.
"Go down with the order and start the general attack. Anyone who can catch him will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"
Knight Gray waved his hand nonchalantly, and the group of soldiers rushed in with red eyes.
"Garth, don't compete with your guests for honor!"
Fang Yuan looked at the villa, but had a bad feeling and waved his hand.
At this time, the majesty of being a lord and the prestige established in the previous battles suddenly came into play.
Gars and the other ten guards remained motionless, and the soldiers summoned from other territories immediately did not dare to move, sitting back and watching Gray's men rush into the villa.
"Haha... why bother? The boys should be allowed to exercise more..."
Knight Gray smiled and said: "But in the end, the winner will definitely be my squire Arnold. He is a strong young man, and he once..."
Boom! ! !
Just as he was mid-sentence, an earth-shaking loud noise suddenly appeared.
A large number of tongues of fire erupted from the villa and swallowed up everything in an instant.
Even the surrounding soldiers were affected, suffering severe pain in their ears and falling to the ground moaning.
"this… "
Knight Gray was knocked off his horse, and his beloved mount ran away, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he stared blankly at everything in front of him: "What on earth is going on?"
"It's a trap!"
Fang Yuan looked gloomy: "The other party has known about us for a long time and has arranged a triggering spell. It should be a burst of fireball and explosion spells. To cause such damage, a large number of explosion crystals are needed - these are contraband!"
After absorbing the memory of a mage, he is very familiar with these things.
Sir Frey's counterattack was so sharp and terrifying! It also revealed a frustrating fact - the other party had already known everything about the crusade and had specially laid a trap!
There are even other forces secretly supporting the other party.
"It is absolutely impossible for a business leader alone to obtain so many spell scrolls!"
Fang Yuan was sure.
Of course, after doing this, the effect is surprisingly good.
Except for the twenty or so men under his command who were only affected and slightly injured, most of the Gray Knight's men were destroyed.
Death came like a tsunami, annihilating countless souls.
"Definitely the church! No one can get so many fireball scrolls and contraband except them!"
The Gray Knight's eyes were red.
Fang Yuan looked at this scene with a dazed expression.
Suddenly, a hidden halo emitted automatically, swallowing the resentment and dead spirits in the raging flames, and soon changed.
A halo with a dark color gradually took shape in his sea of consciousness, and even automatically generated runes, carrying the power of magic.
The cursed halo ability of the Scourge Knight was originally enhanced through a large amount of death and resentment!
Therefore, they often love the battlefield very much. Glendon was even known as the "Hand of Death" back then! Wherever he passed, there was almost a place filled with mourning.
"A curse?"
Fang Yuan's mind was divided and he was immersed in a special understanding.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a shadow suddenly emerged from the surrounding shadows, and the dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake, biting Gray's neck.
Assassin—Jamal!
Caught off guard, Gray Knight did everything he could.
Peng!
On his body, a ray of fighting spirit shone outward, his shoulders tilted, and his whole person seemed to be a head shorter in an instant, and even his posture changed.
But all this is still so insignificant in front of the assassin's sharp blade.
The dark black dagger seemed to be able to swallow up all light. With just one stab, the fighting spirit defense collapsed.
Even the opponent's arm would twist like a boneless snake, changing its position in an instant, and the tip of the dagger was still aimed at the hearts of various knights!
The ultimate fear emerged in Gray's pupils.
In any case, he could not have imagined that Jamal's assassination skills would be so terrifying.
In fact, he has no doubt that the opponent can defeat them one by one and catch the remaining ones in one fell swoop!
puff!
The dagger penetrated the flesh, but did not hit the heart. Instead, it made a gash in Gray's shoulder.
The assassin stayed in place in surprise, still maintaining his sprinting posture.
"Calamity Halo - Weakness! It can add negative status to the designated enemy. It seems to be very effective!"
Fang Yuan nodded, and then snapped his fingers again: "Slow!"
A light yellow halo spread and instantly enveloped Jamal.
"kill him!"
The assassin who has no speed and is still in a weak state, and most importantly, is still surrounded on the bright side, is simply a big tragedy.
Not to mention, after turning on the accumulation halo, Gars and the others are comparable to the elite warriors.
After a brief struggle, Jamal was immediately penetrated by two giant swords and fell to the ground dead.
"Thank you, Rune Knight!"
Gray quickly thanked him.
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Yuan stared at his wound: "His dagger is... poisonous!"
"Um?"
Gray looked at his wound and saw that it had begun to turn black and rot. The most important thing was that he didn't feel anything. He couldn't help but feel horrified in an instant: "Help!"
"I know a little bit about herbal medicine identification..."
Fang Yuan blinked: "I'll give you a suggestion, pray!"
"Pray to God to make me well?"
Gray Knight was a little dizzy.
"No... I prayed that the assassin would bring the antidote with him!"
Fang Yuan said seriously.
