Chapter 240: question

Looking at the stone carvings in the coffin, thousands of thoughts flashed through Colin's mind for a time.

On the way, only the Morrison family can unwittingly take the Duke's body away.

After all, it was only in Huayu City. They stayed all night and opened the coffin lid for the Morrison family to pay homage.

Unexpectedly, they had the idea of ​​the Duke's body.

What is this trying to do?

Colin naturally thought of the blood pool under the bell tower of Fengdie Fort.

He had a hunch that the reason why the Morrison family stole the Duke's body was probably related to the mysterious blood pool.

"...It looks a bit like a stone sculpture, but this is indeed the remains of Lord Duke."

Colin said firmly.

He must be tough now.

The fact that the body of the Duke of St. Hilde was dropped is not a big problem, but if it is caught by the Nelson Knight and does not recognize the death of the Duke, it will be troublesome.

They can even claim that the Duke of St. Hild has just disappeared.

Death and disappearance are two completely different concepts.

Once the Duke died, the command of the Golden Lion Army naturally fell into the hands of his heirs.

But if the death of the Duke of St. Hild cannot be confirmed, then without receiving the Duke’s order, the Knights of Nelson and others can completely ignore the orders of others and independently control the most elite military force of the St. Hild family.

Knight Louis squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the "remains" in the coffin for a long while, smiled and shook his head:

"Sorry, Viscount Angele, I am not questioning your integrity, but this... is obviously an ordinary stone sculpture."

Vera also saw that something was wrong with the body at this time, but seeing Colin insisting that it was the Duke's body, she also remained silent.

Of course, Bachelor Dawn saw the strangeness, and realized that things were really going in an unpredictable direction, and quickly said:

"Knight Nelson, Knight Louis, Knight Camberin, Lord Duke was petrified by an unknown forbidden curse at the wedding of Viscount Anglia. This is what happened in full view.

If you have any questions, you can consult the lords and nobles who were on the wedding scene at that time. I believe they will give an affirmative answer. "

Bachelor Dawn’s words were a bit of a coincidence. He did not directly say that the Duke’s remains were in the coffin, but wanted to confirm the Duke’s death by witnesses at the wedding scene.

However, Knight Nelson was unmoved by this, and said lightly: "As for what happened on the night of Viscount Anglia's wedding, we will naturally send someone to verify it.

But before that, please forgive us for not deviating from the previous order issued by the Lord Duke and withdrawing to Winter City. "

The doubts in Colin's heart grew stronger, and the attitude of Nelson and others was too strange.

Even if he was wary of Colin taking the opportunity to seize power, he should wait until he safely withdrew to Winterfell.

Otherwise, waiting for the Golden Lions to be made dumplings by the Maynum family and the Dawson family armies, what is the point of fighting for this command?

"Of course you can slowly verify the death of Lord Duke." Colin persuaded in a deep voice, "But now, the withdrawal of Winter City is imminent. Only in this way can the Golden Lion Legion be preserved. Even if Lord Duke comes back to life, He will issue the same order."

Knight Nelson laughed, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

"What do you mean?" Colin asked, frowning.

The Louis Cavaliers laughed at the same time and explained: "Your Lord Viscount, you may not know that we already have strong support. Even if the Maynum family and the Dawson family are together, whoever wins will have to fight. knowledge."

"Strong aid?" Colin suddenly had a bad feeling.

Bachelor Dawn's eyes flashed, as if thinking of some possibility.

"Yes." Knight Nelson nodded, "Just a few days ago, Earl Uman led his army to surrender to us. Therefore, with the addition of the Uman family army, we may not be unable to have a decisive battle with the dwarves! "

"Earl Uman?" Colin squinted his eyes, his eyes gleaming with a dangerous light, "such a traitor from the North, do you believe him? What if he is a false surrender?"

"Impossible." Knight Nelson said confidently, "We have received news that the Fallen Eagle City has been burned to ruins by the Saint Theon family. With such a deep hatred, I don't believe that Earl Uman is willing to continue to follow the Saint Theon family. "

Knight Louis also immediately added: "Furthermore, Earl Uman brought two heads-Lawrence and Penny. If you know something about the Saint Theon family, you will know that one of these two is the son of Mr. Coquettish. The other is his sister.

Viscount Anglia, can you tell me, under such circumstances, is it possible for the Uman family to make peace with the Saint Theon family? "

Colin was silent.

It was the first time that he knew that Lawrence was the son of Mr. Coquettish, but seeing Count Uman cut off his head to surrender, this might be true.

In this way, Earl Uman probably really fell out with the St. Theon family.

This kind of blood feud has gone beyond the scope of "bitterness" and is far from being able to be resolved by simple trust.

If Zhou Yu burns Huang Gai’s hometown and Huang Gai slaughters Zhou Yu’s son and sister, then even if the two of them are a “fake show” that has been negotiated, they will doubt that the other party will “really do it.”

What's more, Lawrence and Penny are the only fetters between the St. Theon family and the Uman family, and they have now been slaughtered. What reason does Mr. Hood have to believe that Count Uman will be on his side?

But what puzzled Colin was, how could that countless cowardly Mr. Uman allow Earl Uman to kill Lawrence and Penny, and also throw the Uman family's army into the arms of the St. Hild family?

Since Mr. Wang has planned to sacrifice to Fallen Eagle City, he should have guessed that Earl Uman will break with the St. Theon family as a result. Wouldn’t he be prepared in advance, at least he should not condone Earl Uman’s conversion and growth. The enemy.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the camp.

Afterwards, I saw Earl Uman walking in quickly.

"I heard that Lord Duke was brutally murdered, is this true?"

As soon as he entered the door, Count Uman asked anxiously, and then he saw the coffin parked in the middle of the camp.

Suddenly, Earl Uman was struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned on the spot, as if unable to accept the news of the death of the Duke of St. Hild.

Colin rolled his eyes.

Acting forcibly, too awkward.

"My Lord Duke!" Count Uman suddenly rushed to the coffin, but the next second when he saw the Duke's body inside, he was stunned.

"This...this is the body of Lord Duke? You can't make a mistake, right? This is obviously an ordinary stone sculpture."

Colin became more irritable now, and the pit the Morrison family dug for him could no longer be filled.

Therefore, he ignored the question of Count Uman at all, but looked directly into the eyes of Knight Nelson and asked in a deep voice:

"Knight Nelson, have you decided to fight the dwarves here to the death?"

"Yes." Knight Nelson nodded, and said concisely and clearly, very firmly.

Afterwards, Colin turned to look at the Lewis Cavaliers.

The Louis Knight lowered his head, avoiding Colin's gaze, and it seemed that he had decided to support Nelson's decision.

Colin swept across the Cavaliers again. Only then did he realize that the Cavaliers hadn’t made any comments. ~ www.novelhall.com~ Although the Cavaliers had always been taciturn, how about such an important decision? Will not say a word?

Seeing the gaze from Colin at this time, the Cavalier Knight stared at Colin without evasiveness, as if he wanted to convey some kind of message.

"Okay." Colin suddenly smiled, "Then I wish Knight Nelson you will defeat the dwarf and regain order and peace for the North!"

"Thank you, Lord Viscount, if you can lead the Anglia Family Legion to advance and retreat with us, then..."

Before the Nelson Knight finished speaking, Colin interrupted immediately:

"I also need to **** the body of the Lord Duke back to Winter City. It's getting late today. I will stay with you for the night. We will leave early tomorrow morning.

As for the running river, it will be handed over to you and Count Uman. "

After speaking, he motioned Knight Logger to push the coffin out, and at the same time he pulled Vera out.

Three knights and an earl were left looking at each other.
