Charlotte and Count Gaston decided to meet in a small town on the border of the Earldom of Tulip and the Earldom of Castel, and they both agreed on the time for noon two days later.
Not only that, the two sides agreed that, based on mutual trust, neither side would bring too many soldiers to this meeting. Except for the accompanying nobles and officers, the army would not exceed 500 people at most.
The Earldom of Tulip is not far from North Port and can be reached in half a day.
Two days later, early in the morning, accompanied by Sebastian, Charlotte set out with 500 selected elite standing cavalry troops from the direct jurisdiction and dozens of noble knights.
The town where the two sides agreed to meet was called Neil Town, which was administratively affiliated to the Earldom of Tulip.
The town is not very big, with a population of no more than 5,000. It is located among rolling hills and has beautiful scenery.
When Charlotte arrived at the town of Niel in a carriage escorted by a large group of armored cavalry, Count Gaston's party had already arrived.
Through the window of the carriage, Charlotte saw from afar the Bold soldiers stationed in the town, the lion flag of the Principality of Bold flying in the air, and the flag of the Gaston family.
At the same time, the Boldt garrison in the town obviously saw the mighty Castel army, and the sentry on the watchtower quickly sent out a signal to allow passage.
"My Lord, the other side has invited us to enter the camp through the royal flag. Should we stay where we are or go into the town?"
Outside the carriage, the accompanying noble came to the window and asked respectfully.
"Stay where you are. Sebastian and I will go there. Inform everyone else not to act rashly before I give the signal."
Charlotte said.
The purpose of her visit this time was actually to ambush someone and fish, and the army was just brought along just in case.
She was worried that her secret would be exposed if the troops followed her too closely.
If the nobles of Castel had not strongly requested to accompany her, she would not even want to bring the noble knights.
"My Lord, are you and Lord Sebastian the only ones going? Isn't that... too dangerous?"
After hearing Charlotte's words, the nobles who were traveling with her looked at each other in bewilderment, and even her personal knights were slightly agitated.
Charlotte glanced at them and said:
"Sebastian is a professional at the top of Silver Moon. I will be fine as long as he is here."
Sebastian smiled at everyone, his aura slightly revealed. The powerful aura belonging to the peak of Silver Moon made all the extraordinary people present feel a thrill in their hearts.
The nobles wanted to say something, but seeing Charlotte's unquestionable expression and feeling Sebastian's powerful strength, they finally gave way obediently.
In a world with extraordinary powers, sometimes having more people is useless. When Sebastian showed his aura, they knew that even if all the nobles and knights present were added together, they would definitely not be his match.
In this case, it would be enough to have Sebastian accompany us alone.
The nobles who were traveling with them did not try to stop them, so Charlotte and Sebastian rode their horses towards the camp where Count Gaston was.
The Boulder garrison's camp is located in the town square of Nair.
There were not many soldiers in the camp, perhaps even fewer than the cavalry brought by Charlotte.
However, with the vampire's keen perception and the blessing of blood power, Charlotte sensed that there were a lot of extraordinary auras hidden in the camp.
Among them, there is no shortage of silver moons.
When Charlotte entered the camp, Count Gaston soon came over, surrounded by noble officers. Beside him was a young nobleman who looked 70% similar to Count Gaston and was wearing the uniform of a knight of the kingdom.
Charlotte guessed that this should be the eldest son of Count Gaston who was studying at the Knight Academy in the royal capital as mentioned in the information.
The old earl seemed quite pleased to see Charlotte, and greeted her with a big laugh:
"Haha, Lord Castel, we meet again. I haven't seen you for half a year. You seem to be even more beautiful."
Charlotte got off the horse, and with the help of Sebastian, she stepped on the prepared soft platform and jumped down to the ground, also smiling:
"Mr. Count Gaston, long time no see. I am more used to being called Charlotte than Count Castel."
"Haha, then I will continue to call you Your Excellency Charlotte."
Count Gaston laughed, then looked at Sebastian, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Mr. Sebastian, long time no see. When we were in Boulder, our Gaston family did a lot of business with your Rose Club."
Sebastian also smiled and said elegantly:
"My Lord Earl, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to see you again in the North."
"You two, we are old friends. I have prepared lunch in town. We can talk about suppressing the rebellion in the North while we eat."
As he spoke, Count Gaston made an inviting gesture, motioning Charlotte and Sebastian to follow him into a two-story building behind the camp.
Charlotte looked up and saw that it was a very nicely decorated hotel. It should be the best hotel in the town.
The lion flag of Bold and the clan flag of Gaston were both flying over the inn, and it was obvious that the inn was being used temporarily as a place for Count Gaston to stay.
Sebastian glanced at Charlotte, who smiled and followed him openly.
After entering the hotel, Charlotte clearly felt more extraordinary aura hidden in it.
She glanced at Sebastian calmly, but found that he did not react at all.
Then, Charlotte immediately understood that perhaps only she, a vampire with the power of blood, could feel these hidden auras.
This concealment was obviously prepared in advance and specifically targeted at Sebastian. After all, his strength had long been known to everyone.
Charlotte quietly activated the power of blood to enhance her perception, and soon discerned the approximate strength of the extraordinary person hidden in the hotel.
Twenty-eight first-level extraordinary people.
And... six Silver Moon Level 2 transcendents!
With so many extraordinary people gathered together and deliberately used some special means to hide their aura, a conspiracy is almost certain.
However, Charlotte did not act rashly.
Now that she was here, she was a little curious about what Count Gaston was planning to do and how he was going to deal with Sebastian, the most powerful protector on the surface.
"Lord Charlotte, please."
Arriving at the door of the most luxurious room on the second floor of the hotel, Count Gaston signaled his personal guards to open the door and personally made a gesture of invitation.
Charlotte entered the room calmly, and saw a dining table and chairs in the room, with food on the table.
Sebastian followed closely behind.
However, the moment Sebastian stepped into the room, a silver light suddenly burst out from the ground.
Under Charlotte's surprised gaze, Sebastian disappeared in a flash of light before he even took a step.
