The incident happened suddenly, Baron Dylan swung his long sword, and even the vassal knight didn't expect it.
Right in front of Kant, the vassal knight who tried to assassinate him had his throat cut open, and he looked at Baron Dylan in disbelief, but in the end he could only kneel down on the ground, twitching and dying.
The strong smell of blood immediately filled the air.
Behind Baron Dylan, the knights were all dumbfounded watching all this.
Even the two big knights with unfamiliar faces glanced heavily at the back of Baron Dylan, and clenched the long sword in their hands for a moment, but they were frightened by the eyes of the lion knights staring at them, so they did not act rashly.
In fact, even Kant did not expect the play to end like this.
He looked down at the vassal knight who had fallen on the sand.
The scene was silent.
"This is an attempt to assassinate a baron and a nobleman, a due punishment!"
Baron Dylan spoke slowly.
Put away his long sword, turned his head and glanced at the knights, and said in a heavy voice: "Even if I don't kill him, the noble court will sentence this guy to death and hang him!"
This is indeed the case for the nobles of the Lion Principality.
Even a knight who attempted to assassinate a nobleman would be sentenced to hang. The only difference from a commoner was that a whole body was left behind.
But death is certain.
Unless there is a high-ranking noble who is loyal to the knight, spends money and uses contacts to make the assassinated noble forgive him, can he survive and not be hanged in humiliation.
"Papa papa."
Rolf clapped his hands lightly at this time.
The crisp applause woke up everyone around and broke the deadlock.
Rolf still had that annoying and arrogant smile on his face, looked at Baron Dylan, and said in admiring tone: "Wonderful, Baron Dylan, this is really a wonderful extermination of relatives."
Everyone around looked at Baron Dylan.
But Baron Dylan remained still: "If he dares to assassinate Baron Kant, it is a capital crime!"
The vassal knights behind him looked cold.
Everyone's heart was trembling.
Even those two big knights were breathing a bit short of breath.
They knew quite well that the one who had been slashed across the throat by Baron Dylan himself just now, and the fatal blow was his loyal lackey in the Stone Pass, he was the most loyal vassal knight.
just killed...
Who among these knights is not chilled
"But, I have known."
Rolf was unforgiving.
Looking up at Baron Dylan's side face avoiding staring at each other, he narrowed his eyes and said, "The assassin just now seems to have come from the Stone Pass. If nothing goes wrong, he is Baron Dylan's subordinate."
"That's right, it's my subordinate."
Baron Dylan nodded happily, with a slightly sad expression on his face: "But I didn't expect to do such a thing." He looked at Rolf, and then looked at Kant with a calm face. Seeing this immature face, he was not moved at all His heart beat faster, but his confidence seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss.
He couldn't see through Kant!
Kant's face was still calm, and he looked at him as usual, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
It's like looking at a dead man!
Baron Dylan gritted his teeth.
He was short of breath, but he still didn't dare to act rashly. He forced a smile in front of him, but even changed his address: "Baron Kant, I hope this result...can satisfy you."
"Satisfied?" Kant smiled, but his tone remained indifferent: "Well, it's okay."
But Rolf spoke in a serious tone: "Baron Dylan, there is a problem with your vassal knight, don't you plan to pay some price? After all, this is your knight, who is loyal to you and represents you!"
"No, he never pledged allegiance to me."
Baron Dylan simply escaped: "He and I used to be Princess Sophia's comrades-in-arms, but because he was jealous of me becoming a baron, he secretly became a spy placed by my side by other nobles. Thinking that something like this has happened now, it’s really damned!”
The reason is very far-fetched, and it is impossible to get to the bottom of it.
Kant didn't intend to delve into it, nodded and said, "That's it."
"Thank you for your tolerance."
Baron Dylan used honorifics.
Including those knights, all of them were sweating coldly and bowed their heads in thanks to Kant.
They all understand that if they really get to the bottom of it, even they will be responsible, and they will even go to the noble court, and even if they are implicated, they will be fined at the very least. If they are unlucky, they may be demoted to slaves!
It's just that their thanks are a bit premature.
Kant looked at them lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You're welcome."
But when the words changed, he continued to them: "I can treat this assassination as never happened, but why did you come to my territory and lead your troops into the territories of other lords? In the noble court, this is second only to treason!"
"Uh..." Not only Baron Dylan, but even the knights behind him looked up at Kant in astonishment. They didn't realize for a while that Kant would actually make trouble on this issue!
Obviously leading troops into Kant's territory, they have already passed in a tacit understanding.
But bring it up again now.
The situation is not right!
Baron Dylan lowered his head, and the vassal knight he was familiar with was still looking at him intently.
Behind them, the two great knights from the East County Territory obviously showed fear. It is estimated that if any accident occurs, they will definitely flee from this place first, and they will never stay to fight side by side with Baron Dylan.
And those greedy mercenaries probably planned to escape during that restlessness!
Baron Dylan was silent.
In the end, the eyes looked at the eyes that were dying.
Although it has been ashamed and lost its spirit.
But Baron Dylan seemed to be able to see that the great knight who had been beheaded by himself and had actually been on guard all along showed ridicule, deep resentment and curse at him.
"Well, that's it. It seems that you have violated my rights by bringing troops to my territory."
Kant lowered his head slightly on the horse, as if hesitating: "What right?"
"Territorial rights?" Rolf answered from the side.
"Well."
Kant nodded: "It seems to be."
While speaking, the troops that were slowly rolling over behind him had finally lined up and turned into a battle-ready state. All the soldiers looked at Baron Dylan and the mercenary regiment behind him with piercing eyes.
Without the slightest fear of war, they are all eager to try!
The continent of Calradia, which has been in war for hundreds of years, makes these soldiers yearn for peace, but they are not afraid of war.
What's more, the Kingdom of Swadia, which is located in the center and is the most prosperous country, is the target of public criticism. There are wars almost every year. These Swadians have long been accustomed to the world of frequent wars.
Now, lofty ideals are fighting for the supreme lord Kant.
They do!
The red-bottomed golden lion instantly soared against the wind.
There was no wind on the flag, and it made a sound of hunting, as if it was fluttering in the strong wind.
The fighting spirit of the soldiers is rising.
All of them were full of enthusiasm, and looked at the group of mercenaries with fighting enthusiasm, even like scorching rays, so that even the mercenaries dared not meet these gazes directly.
Just in terms of momentum, it has already fallen into a disadvantage.
"Dear Kant... Baron..."
Baron Dylan's voice became hoarse.
"Um?"
Kant looked at him, his face still calm: "Please speak."
Baron Dylan said slowly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, will you believe it?"
He speaks respectfully.
Even the head is slightly lowered, just like the etiquette to the king.
But Kant didn't say anything, or he just rode on his war horse, surrounded by lion knights, and accepted Baron Dylan's tribute as a matter of course, even though the two had the same title.
This is the absolute status brought about by different strengths, it has nothing to do with titles, and it has nothing to do with the power of both parties.
Now.
It is Kant who holds the initiative!
"It's none of your business."
Kant spoke.
Now that he has the initiative, it is up to him to control the overall situation now.
His eyes swept over Baron Dylan who bowed his head in front of him, the pale knight, the two gloomy big knights, and the mercenaries not far away who seemed to be in formation but were actually distracted.
Finally, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile: "Then it's none of your business."
"Thank...thank you for your generosity, Kant...my lord!"
Baron Dylan clenched his fists tightly, but the address in his mouth was even more respectful.
Baron Dylan, who has lost the ability to resist and lose his plans, is no different from ordinary people now. He can only put away his fangs and claws and become a docile domestic dog. He has performed this change many times before. up.
"However, these mercenaries, I think it's none of their business."
Kant raised his hand and pointed at the mercenaries.
Then he turned his head and pointed to the two great knights from the East County Territory: "And these two great knights, why did they appear in my territory? If Baron Dylan and his knights were invited to be guests, these two Unfamiliar knights and mercenaries are not within the scope of the invitation."
Kant turned his head to look at Baron Dylan, and asked lightly, "What do you think?"
Baron Dylan bowed his head and replied, "I don't know them."
After these words fell, the expressions of the two big knights behind them suddenly changed, and they just wanted to escape with extraordinary arrogance, but at this moment, the roads in all directions were blocked by the lion knights.
Even if 20 lion knights are divided into 10 people, they can easily stop these two big knights.
The advantage of numbers is here!
"Baron Kant, you... what do you mean?"
The two big knights didn't even look at Baron Dylan next to them. They all understood that at this time, the puppet who used to be the leader of the East County had rebelled and dealt them a blow!
Kant didn't answer, but Rolf sneered slightly instead: "What do you mean?"
He turned his head to look at Kant. The lord nodded to him. With acquiescence, he drew out his long sword, pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "Of course I mean to kill you!"
"Woo-"
The horn is sounded by the royal knights.
The battle begins.
