The news of the death of the Duchess swept through Bailu Castle like a whirlwind.
Wherever he went, there were shocked, horrified, and bewildered crowds.
Especially the group of Eastern nobles who gathered at the gate of Bailubao, were shocked, they all began to worry about their own safety.
First Earl Anglia was assassinated, then Marquis Vincent was killed, and now even the Duchess was not spared...
In their eyes, Bailu Castle has become an extremely dangerous place, and the idea of escaping from this place can no longer be suppressed.
"Please open the door and let us go!"
"That's right, since the Saint-Pros family cannot guarantee the stability and safety of Bailu Castle, what right do they have to detain us forcibly!"
"I want to leave today, see who of you dare to stop me!"
...
Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, and even the nobles who began to break through, the guards did not know what to do.
Knight Valen, the captain of the Bailu Castle guard who had been guarding here, went to check it as soon as he heard the death of the Duchess.
The Valen Knight was not there, and the news of the Duchess' death made the guards panic, so facing the nobles who charged up, the guards did not dare to stop them, they could only let them open the castle gate forcibly and left.
When went out, the nobles finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could go far, they saw a figure standing in the middle of the street, as if waiting for them.
"Earl Evan?"
"My distinguished guests, are the Saint-Pros family not entertained well? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Evan asked with a smile.
A group of nobles in the East looked at each other, and then one of the viscounts stood up and said:
"Lord Earl, it's not that we don't want to stay in the White Dew Castle, but that there are obviously some...problems within the Saint-Pros family. In order to avoid greater confusion and unnecessary misunderstandings, we still decided to leave first."
"Problem? I don't know what went wrong in Bailubao?"
The nobles recounted all the deaths that occurred in Bailu Castle.
Earl Evan didn't see the joy or anger on his face after hearing this, he just said indifferently:
"Everyone, the Saint-Pros family has indeed encountered some difficulties now, but are you ready to leave as a result? Have you forgotten all your pledges of allegiance?"
Such questioning immediately caused a commotion among the nobles in the East.
Some people are ashamed, some are disapproving, and some are silent, deliberately pretending not to hear...
Earl Evan's gaze slowly swept across, and the expressions on the faces of all the nobles in the East were in full view.
He is not disappointed or angry, because he knows very well that loyalty is actually like a gorgeous vase, which can decorate the facade at ordinary times, but when the real storm hits, it often falls into a mess.
However, not all vases are destined to be incapable of sheltering the wind and rain, as long as you can show them benefits and hope.
"What are you panicking about? The Saint-Pros family hasn't experienced any storms. Could it be that such a small problem made you lose confidence?"
Earl Evan's gaze swept across the Eastern Nobles in front of him again, but this time, there was less scrutiny, and more encouragement and anticipation.
"I am confident that I can stabilize the situation in Bailu City, but I need your help.
Those who believe in me can stay, and those who don’t believe me can leave.
This is your choice.
Of course, for those who are willing to stay, on behalf of the Saint-Pros family, I solemnly promise you—
Loyalty will definitely be rewarded! "
After saying these words, Earl Evan turned around and turned his back to the East Nobles, saying that he would never interfere with their choice.
The nobles suddenly became agitated.
Many people took this opportunity and left quietly.
But more people stayed.
Because they realized one thing from the confident attitude and pointed promise of Evan Evan just now—
Earl Evan is now the first heir to the Duke of the East!
If you lend a helping hand at this time, then in the future Evan will succeed to the throne, and they will surely get rich returns.
On the contrary, if he leaves now, he will be regarded as a betrayal. Once Evan becomes the Duke of the East, he will definitely be liquidated and suppressed.
If the Duchess is still alive, then most of the Eastern nobles may hesitate, but now, the possibility of Evan succeeding to the throne is unprecedented.
After a while, Evan Evan turned around again, and showed a sincere smile at the Eastern nobles who were left behind, and said:
"Congratulations, you made the right choice!"
A nobleman came out more and more, saying:
"Lord Earl, we believe that you can bring stability and prosperity to the East, so what we need to do now, please do not hesitate to give orders!"
Count Evan nodded, and said directly:
"I need you to summon an army immediately and attack the Pegasus Legion!"
All the nobles in the East were dumbfounded.
"Lord Earl...you are not wrong? You want us to attack the Pegasus army? Shouldn't it be to suppress the betrayed Nicol family army?"
Count Evan shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"No. The Pegasus Legion is the real betrayal, and the Nicole family is the force that is loyal to the Saint-Pros family."
Hearing this, some clever nobles finally reacted—
In the Pegasus Legion, there are forces loyal to the Duke of Saint-Pros, there are forces that are loyal to the Marquis of Vincent, there are forces that are loyal to the Duchess, and there are even forces that are loyal to the Knights of Ivan, but there is no force that is loyal to the Evan.
Therefore, this direct army of the Saint-Pros family is not actually the help of Count Evan at all. On the contrary, it may even hinder his succession to the Duke of the East!
After some whispers, those unresponsive nobles also came back to their senses, and they all agreed to Evan's proposal.
Fighting the blood cavalry, they were scared to death, but when it comes to dealing with the Pegasus Legion, especially the Pegasus Legion, which has just undergone reconstruction and low combat effectiveness, these nobles are not afraid.
So, Evan gave an order, and the nobles dispersed separately and went to gather their own troops.
Count Evan stood alone in front of the White Dew Castle, hesitating for a moment, but still did not choose to enter.
Now that the lords had been persuaded to gather their troops to attack the Pegasus Legion, Evan felt that he did not need to enter the White Dew Castle anymore.
The situation in the castle is too complicated and too dangerous, at least until the situation in the city of Bailu is stabilized, Evan Evan will not take risks.
turned around, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com, Evan Evan just wanted to leave, but found a familiar figure.
"Anna? Why are you here too?"
Anna looked at her brother coldly, and asked: "Brother, you still said that you didn't betray the family?"
Earl Evan suddenly had a headache, so he had to explain patiently:
"Anna, listen to me, the Pegasus Legion has long been the root of the disaster in Bailu City. If I want to stabilize the situation, I must..."
Anna didn't seem to listen to Count Evan's explanation at all, she pulled out the giant sword behind her back, and rushed over!
"Sister! You..."
唰!
The huge blade of the sword drew a fierce arc in the air, but it rubbed the shadow of Count Evan's body toward the corner of the street!
Boom!
A huge figure was forced out in the splash of gravel.
He was shrouded in a curtain of blood-colored smoke. He couldn't see his face. Only a pair of black bat wings stretched out for more than ten meters on both sides, and the huge shadow covered almost half of the street.
Earl Evan turned his head in horror and blurted out:
"Wing Knight!"
