Knock Down That Tower

For the next few days, Willy learned writing with Mr. Hudiel in the morning and fencing with Ole in the afternoon. Both Hudil and Ole highly appreciate Willy's talent and diligence.

During this period, Bamos also brought news about the snow-patterned deer. Since the food of the snow-patterned deer was changed to meat, the food intake of the snow-patterned deer has increased significantly. But it is a pity that the snow-patterned deer still failed to develop a favorable impression of the baron, and there was no sign of surrender.

In this regard, Willy has nothing to do. His intermediate-level animal trainer ability can only generate affinity bonuses for bronze-level monster cubs, and has no effect on adult monsters. As for helping the baron tame the snow-patterned deer, it is even more impossible.

night.

Willie finished a day of study, and after taking a hot bath, he was already lying on the bed ready to sleep.

A little sleepy just now, Willy suddenly heard a loud roar from inside the house.

"All members of the personal soldiers! Fully armed! All assembled! Immediately, immediately!"

In an instant, the originally quiet residence of the Guards Department suddenly became a riot.

After Willy heard the voice of the assembly, the sleepiness subsided instantly.

In the past few days after he came to the Guards Office, he had never seen such an urgent matter in the Guards Office.

Without hesitation, Willy got up and changed out of his pajamas, then put on his custom-made light armor and helmet. Because the assembly order said that he was fully armed, Willy also wore the cross sword around his waist, and also clenched the long spears of the personal soldiers in his hands.

He quickly went downstairs and saw the crowd gathered in the direction of the training ground.

Seeing this, Willy followed the soldiers over there.

"Captain Morion, what happened?"

When he arrived at the training ground, Willy saw Morion, the captain of the first detachment, who was commanding sharply, standing in front of the crowd.

Seeing Willy coming over to ask, Morion's stern expression subsided slightly.

For Morion, Willy's identity is awkward. Although he is a personal soldier, he does not belong to any of the three divisions of the personal soldier team. In addition, Willy is deeply appreciated by Lord Baron, and he is also a student of Lord Ole. Morion is the captain in name, but he is not easy to control Willy. Facing Willy, he could only treat him politely.

"The news just came that the baron was assassinated in the manor."

Morion directly stated why.

"The baron was assassinated!?"

Willie was also shocked when he heard it. Although Baron Kells is not a big aristocrat, he is a member of the aristocratic class. To assassinate him means to be an enemy of the aristocratic class of the entire Principality of Langton, and the consequences that need to be borne are very tragic.

"Is the Baron injured?"

Willie asked quickly.

Morion nodded: "It is said that he was injured, but his life is not serious. However, Lord Ole was very angry. He ordered all the members of the personal soldiers to gather at the baron's manor and send them after listening."

Willy instantly understood the seriousness of the situation, and his life was safe, but he was injured, which means that the stabbing operation was effective to some extent. For Ole, he was the manager of the Janissaries and the first person in charge of the assassination. When such a thing happened, he could not escape the blame. To mobilize the personal troops so quickly, it is estimated that he must quickly do the aftermath work after the attack.

"In this case, Captain Morion, I will follow your first team first."

Willy does not have a team, and it is not easy to act alone at this time.

Morion naturally would not refuse.

In less than three minutes, the personal soldiers of nearly a hundred people had assembled.

The sub-commanders rode on horses, and the personal soldiers followed behind the sub-commanders and ran all the way.

Morion originally wanted to find a horse to ride for Willy, but Willy refused. Originally, his identity was more sensitive in the Guards.

There is no need to specialize at critical moments.

Baron Manor.

"My lord, it's all my fault!"

Ole made a knightly manner, nodded and bowed his head, and apologized to Baron Kells on one knee.

At this time, the Baron Kells was pale, his upper body was naked, his chest was wrapped in bloody gauze, and his breath was a little sluggish.

"Get up, Ole, I can't totally blame you for this."

Baron Kells didn't mean to blame Ole: "When Langwo entered the janissary team, it was only after I hand-picked him that you accepted the team. If you want to be held accountable for the fault, I am the one who will take the responsibility. that person."

"I just didn't expect... Lanwo, who has been in the Guards for more than ten years, turned out to be a traitor..."

A coldness appeared in Baron Kessell's eyes.

Half an hour ago, Baron Kells, as usual, was correcting documents in the study.

As relations between the Principalities of Langton and Vata continued to deteriorate, the pressure on the border defenses increased. Although Baron Kells had asked Count Rumbar to send troops for reinforcements, Earl Rumbar still failed to give any meaningful support. Because in Rumbar's territory, not only Diamond Town is connected to the Duchy of Wata, but other barons and viscounts face more pressure on the border than Baron Kells.

Just when Baron Kells was troubled by this problem, one of his most trusted personal soldiers, Langwo, suddenly visited. Baron Kells was quite surprised, because Langwall was not on duty today. But he didn't have any doubts, after all, Lanwo had been with him for more than ten years.

After seeing Baron Kells, Langwo immediately said that there was a border defense intelligence report. However, when he handed the document in his hand to Baron Kells, he suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Baron Kells in the chest.

Although Baron Kells has knight-level strength, he was stabbed in the chest without warning. If he hadn't dodged immediately, he would have been stabbed in the heart. When Lanwo saw that he missed, he even sent a signal that five or six people in the tight baron's manor poured directly into the study and besieged the baron.

Baron Kells counterattacked in an instant. Even though he was seriously injured, he still relied on the knight's combat power to kill three people on the spot, but the other three escaped.

The baron wanted to continue the pursuit, but found that the wound started to itch, and the dagger had been smeared with poison. There was no way, Baron Kells could only give up the pursuit and deal with his injury first.

It was only then that the Guardsmen and the Guards discovered the anomaly here. It turned out that before the assassination, Lanwo borrowed his identity to transfer some of the surrounding personal soldiers and guards away, leaving only ten guards, who were silently killed by several assassins without any defense. The Baron's defense turned into a vacuum.

The enraged baron immediately ordered the entire manor and even the town of Diamond to be blocked, and the personal guards were dispatched. The assassin must be arrested tonight.
