Chapter 237： Aftermath

The flames in the fireplace leaped, making crackling noises from time to time.

Franco sat in a wheelchair and stared at the dark night sky outside the window in a daze.

It was the darkest hour before dawn, and the night enveloped the land, quietly hiding the killing, sin, and blood.

There was footsteps behind him, and Franco didn't turn around.

"Father, the fire has all been extinguished. The chaos in Fengdie Castle has also been calmed down." Earl Morrison came to the back of the wheelchair and reported quietly.

Franco still looked out the window and said blankly: "Do you ask about the details of the enemy?"

Earl Morrison shook his head with a solemn expression: "No. These invaders are not afraid of death, we have not caught alive.

However, the invaders killed were all professionals, including troll warriors, human knights, and of course warriors, and some even recognized a knight from the east. "

"Eastland?" Franco's brows were also deeply frowned, and he suddenly felt that everything in front of him had become confusing and confusing, making him completely unpredictable.

At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded again.

Soon, a Morrison family knight appeared in the chamber and reported loudly:

"My Lord Earl, the invaders we killed came back to life, and all escaped!"

"What?" Earl Morrison couldn't believe his ears. "You say it again."

The knight had no choice but to repeat it again.

At this time, Franco slowly withdrew his gaze from the window, staring directly at the knight in front of him, and said coldly: "What is resurrection from the dead? Tell me."

The knight was also sweating profusely at the moment. He also knew that what he said was too unbelievable, so he had to bite the bullet and explain:

"My lord, I am willing to swear in the name of my ancestors, there is really no lie that I said just now!

Originally, we had collected the corpses of those invaders and prepared for centralized processing, but in a blink of an eye, these corpses suddenly came back to life, killing the guards guarding nearby.

Such a weird thing made the guards almost mad, they didn't dare to stop it...so they escaped from Fengdie Fort again. "

"Are you sure those invaders are already corpses?"

"This..." Facing Franco's soul torture, the knight was a little dumbfounded.

He couldn't say that he was lying on the ground with a few swords in his chest, isn't it a corpse?

Franco squinted for a moment before he ordered the maid behind him: "Cardina, go and interrogate the guards to find out what happened."

"Yes, sir." The maid nodded, walked to the knight, hooked her finger, and motioned for him to follow her out.

The knight received an amnesty, hurriedly saluted Earl Morrison and Franco, and followed Cardina out of the chamber.

"Father, what...what is going on?" The series of events that happened tonight caused the young Earl Morrison to panic, and his tone trembled at this time.

Franco looked at his panicked son, and reprimanded him with a hatred of iron and steel: "What is the panic?"

Earl Morrison quickly lowered his head and forced his wandering eyes to focus on his toes, not daring to face his father's sharp gaze.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed, and it was so quiet that Earl Morrison's rapid heartbeat could be heard.

After a while, when Earl Morrison's heartbeat finally calmed down, Franco's low voice sounded again:

"Do you know'Winged Knight'?"

"Winged knight?" Earl Morrison was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. "You mean the flying knight who appeared in Silvermoon City and killed the previous half-elf king?"

Franco nodded: "Yes, according to the information I have obtained, the monster that flew out of the clock tower tonight should be the ‘winged knight’."

Earl Morrison thought for a while, then hesitated: "Father, who is this winged knight? How come to Fengdie Fort?"

Franco pondered for a moment, and considered: "I suspect that this winged knight should be the killer secretly cultivated by the Anglia family!"

"The Anglia family?" Earl Morrison said in surprise.

"Well, as soon as Viscount Angele left Papilio Castle, this winged knight came on his back foot. How could it happen? What's more, when the Silvermoon City coup took place, Viscount Angele was also there.

One time may be a coincidence, but two times, there must be some connection. "

Hearing Franco's explanation, Earl Morrison nodded in agreement, but immediately his face became alarmed:

"Father, if this was really arranged by Viscount Anglia, then he must also know the situation under the bell tower! This...what can we do about this!"

Franco did not speak, but stared at his son coldly, until the other person calmed down again, and then faintly spoke:

"Just let him see the situation under the bell tower? Does he know what it is?

Besides, doesn't he have any secrets in the Anglia family? Winged knights, as well as those professionals who seem to be unkillable, huh, I think there are no less things hidden in the dark by the Anglia family than we are.

What's more, his primary goal now is the Saint Theon family, and it is impossible to provoke us at this time. "

Earl Morrison was relieved, and he took a deep breath, after thinking about it, he asked again:

"Father, shall we send envoys to Bingyan City to discuss the provision of food and troops?"

"Why not?" Franco said lightly, "Don't make a fuss just because the other party sees his own secrets. The Angley family is friends or enemies. It's hard to say now.

You know, sometimes it is easier to gain trust by letting the other party know a little about their own secrets. "

"Okay, I will send an envoy to Ice Rock City tomorrow."

As soon as Earl Morrison finished speaking, another figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Grace's maid, Franco asked, "Is my mother also awakened?"

"Yes, Madam wants to know what happened?"

Franco turned to look at Earl Morrison, and said, "Saiken, go and explain to your mother."

"Yes, father." Earl Morrison responded quickly.

Not long after they left, Franco's maid, Cardina, reappeared.

"My lord, I personally asked. The invaders did not all come back to life. Three bodies were left at the scene. Therefore, I suspect that the invaders who escaped were actually pretending to be dead."

"A bunch of idiots! Don't you know how to make a knife?" Franco cursed in a low voice, and then stopped entangled in the matter, and instead ordered, "In the name of the earl, give the caption, everything tonight~www. novelhall.com~No leaks are allowed!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Go, push me to look under the bell tower."

The maid, Cardina Yiyan, walked behind Franco and pushed the wheelchair out.

At this time, the inside of the castle had gradually recovered calm, but the guards patrolling still had a little panic and nervousness on their faces.

The fire has long been completely extinguished, and property losses are still being counted.

In the dark night, there were several depressed crying sounds from time to time. It is estimated that they lost their companions and family members in this battle.

With the creaking of the wooden wheels rolling, Franco came to the bell tower.

The gate of the bell tower at this time has been completely damaged, and the floor in the building has also been knocked out of a big hole, like a deep and terrifying huge mouth, wanting to swallow all living creatures nearby.

The maid, Cardina, pushed the wheelchair to the hole. Seeing Franco nodded, she picked up the wheelchair and jumped down.
