Earl Hall froze in place, thinking he was hallucinating.
But "Reflection in the Water" spoke again:
"Is there no one else up there?"
Earl Hall shook his head blankly.
Then, "Reflection in the Water" rushed out of the water with a diving leap, kicked on the hull of the boat, and landed on the deck vigorously.
At this moment, Earl Hall came to his senses and realized that standing in front of him was the real Marquis Vincent!
"Hou... Lord Marquis! You are still alive!"
Earl Hall is like a traveler who is walking in the desert and almost dying of thirst but suddenly finds an oasis. His only extravagant hope is that everything in front of him must not be a mirage-like phantom.
"Of course I'm alive." Marquis Vincent said with a smile.
Seeing that Earl Hall was still standing there in a daze, he pointed to his wet clothes and said, "Do you have any clean clothes? It's quite cold in late autumn night."
"Yes, yes, of course!"
Earl Hall nodded repeatedly, and then suppressed the ecstasy and excitement in his heart, and carefully led Marquis Vincent to his room avoiding the soldiers on duty on the ship.
After Marquis Vincent changed his clothes, Earl Hall finally couldn't suppress the excitement and doubts in his heart, and asked anxiously:
"Lord Marquis, what is going on? Earl Evan told me that you have been assassinated in Silvermoon City."
Marquis Vincent sneered and said, "I was indeed assassinated, but thanks to the mercy of my lord, I survived. However, it was this assassination that finally allowed me to see the true face of that good brother." !"
Earl Hall's expression moved, and he immediately reacted, saying: "Could it be that the assassination you encountered was planned by Earl Evan?"
"That's right. Although it was the Duke of Merdiven who did it, it was Knight Thomas Finn who assisted in the assassination!"
"Thomas Knight? Didn't he already..."
"No, he just violated his knight oath and surrendered to the northern border. Obviously, Evan actually used some method to contact him again."
Earl Hall nodded, and said with a matter of course: "After all, he is a knight of the Finn family, and I am not surprised to be encouraged by Earl Evan."
"He has already paid the price for his stupidity!" Marquis Vincent sneered, and then said, "Okay, let's not talk about him, this time I came to you because I heard that the daughter of Evan and Earl Bruggen News of the engagement.
It seems that my father has completely given up on me, right? "
"It should be. After all, Earl Evan insisted that you were assassinated in Silvermoon City."
"Of course he would say that!" Marquis Vincent sneered, "If it wasn't so, why would my father make up his mind to help him cleanse the forces that support me?"
Speaking of this, Marquis Vincent looked at Earl Hall seriously, and asked in a deep voice: "The Bruggen family should have been taken over by Evan, so what about the Hall family? As the family with the closest connection with me, father And Evan can't let you go easily, right?"
"Of course not!" Earl Hall's long-suppressed resentment finally found an outlet, "All the warships selected to redeem you are the warships of the Hall family, and Evan has no intention of sending these warships to Hand it over to the northern border, but prepare to use them to blast open the three sluice gates in Silvermoon City."
"How is this possible? When it collides with the sluice gate of Silvermoon City, it will only destroy the battleship!"
"But what if the ship is full of [Wildfire]?"
"Wildfire?" Marquis Vincent was startled.
"That's right. Lord Marquis, to be honest, you have hundreds of cans of [Wildfire] hidden under your feet. If you are not careful, we will be smashed to pieces!"
Marquis Vincent couldn't help swallowing, even though Colin had told him that after becoming the blood angel's apostle, some fatal injuries could no longer take his life, but if he was burned to ashes by [Wildfire], Vincent The Marquis really didn't think he could survive.
"So ruthless!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis! Earl Evan is forcing our Hall family to die with Silvermoon City!"
Marquis Vincent's eyes flickered, and he said, "Then you are willing to listen to him?"
"So what if you are not reconciled?" Earl Hall smiled bitterly, but then he looked at the lively Marquis Vincent in front of him, cheered up again, and said in a deep voice, "But with your support, it will be completely different! Marquis My lord, I assure you that as long as you stand up, the warriors of the Hall family will definitely follow behind you and clear away all obstacles on your way forward!"
Marquis Vincent stared into Earl Hall's eyes, and asked seriously: "Are you sure the soldiers of the Hall family are still willing to fight for me?"
"Of course!" Earl Hall said without hesitation, "Perhaps you don't know, those guys just encouraged me to detain Earl Evan and use the battleship of the St. Pros family to redeem you."
There was a look of joy in Marquis Vincent's eyes, but he still didn't relax. He stared into Earl Hall's eyes and asked again:
"Then what if I want to cooperate with the North?"
Earl Hall was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was too excited about the "resurrection of the dead" by Marquis Vincent before, and in his ecstasy, he ignored an important question - how did he escape from Silvermoon City
At this time, after hearing the question from Marquis Vincent, Earl Hall finally understood that he did not escape at all, but was let out!
Earl Hall took a deep breath and asked, "Master Marquis, what kind of agreement have you reached with the Northern Territory?"
Marquis Vincent looked at Earl Hall with great interest, and asked with a smile, "What if I have already given the entire Eastern Territory to Colin Angelet?"
The corner of Earl Hall's mouth twitched a few times, and he remonstrated: "Master Marquis, there is no need for you to give such a condition! Now that the orc invasion is imminent, even if the worst happens, the Northern Territory will not have time to swallow the entire Eastern Territory. !"
Marquis Vincent laughed, patted Earl Hall on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Okay, I won't be joking with you. Earl Angelet doesn't have such a big appetite, and I'm not so stupid."
"Then what are his conditions?"
Marquis Vincent paused, and said in a deep voice, "East Realm, change to a Duke!"
"What?" Earl Hall opened his mouth wide with horror on his face.
There was a strange light in the Marquis Vincent's eyes, and he said coldly: "The Northern Territory needs a friendly Duke of the Eastern Territory, and my father is old and confused, it's time to step aside, otherwise, his wrong decision will only lead to Let the conflict between the eastern border and the northern border continue to intensify until the inevitable war!"
"But, but..." Earl Hall was overwhelmed, but looking at the sinking face of Marquis Vincent, he realized that he had no way out.
The Duke of St. Pros and the Earl of Evan made it clear that they wanted to kill them all. Why couldn't the Hall family resist
Originally, he didn't dare to resist because resistance was a dead end, but if he obeyed, at least the Hall family would still have a chance.
But now, with Marquis Vincent, the Hall family immediately has the confidence to resist!
Thinking of this, Earl Hall's heart gradually calmed down, his eyes became firm again, and he said in a deep voice:
"Okay! Lord Marquis! The Hall family will always stand behind you!"
Marquis Vincent showed a satisfied smile and said:
"Earl Hall, you made the right choice!"
