Chapter 189 The Storm Pauses
The good show in Wushan Fort has ended, and nobles of all sizes have set off to return to their respective territories one after another as if they had agreed.
Before Blanche left, Ruland met her in person, expressed his best wishes, and asked her to take a letter to His Majesty Bruno.
As for the departure of other nobles, he only made a symbolic appearance.
Although Rulans wore a coat and a hood, outsiders could still see the changes in the Marquis' physical appearance. He now looked a little older.
Yesterday's battle had a significant impact on him.
But the Marquis still stands there no matter what, and his specific combat power is still unknown.
Orson, who rashly challenged, had to be carried to the carriage, and there were even rumors that he was completely defeated.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Orson paid the price for his arrogance.
"Ronin, I hope we can meet again soon."
On the back of the griffin, Blanche was waving goodbye to Roning.
"It should be pretty quick."
Ronin smiled and waved his hand, bowing to Broll and Knight Missy to say goodbye: "The journey is long; please take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"This is my duty." Missy saluted as a knight.
Broll nodded, "Please also say goodbye to Lord Rulans for me."
After saying that, he gestured to indicate they were ready to set off.
Suddenly, the griffins let out happy cries, flapped their wings, and raised a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, they were in the air, flying away at an extremely fast speed.
"Let's go, too."
Jesus said to his subordinate Ramsay, and simultaneously symbolically waved to the nobles of Wushan Territory and rode away on their griffins.
He looked down at the castle below from the air, his eyes revealing displeasure at the failure of his plan.
Jesus came here this time after discussing it with Orson. His main purpose was to find out Lulans's true background and find an opportunity for Orson, a Meteor-level player, to challenge him.
In their expectation, it would be difficult for Lu Lans, who was tortured and suppressed by illness, to exert meteor-level strength.
Once Orson defeats Lulans, the latter will surely suffer from the backlash of his old injuries due to his serious injuries.
In that case, even if they did not kill Lu Lans, the opponent's life span would be greatly reduced, and it is not ruled out that he would die within one or two years or even shorter.
Once Lu Lans dies, Wushan Territory will surely be in chaos, which will be a good time to fish in troubled waters.
But he didn't expect the ending to be like this.
Jesus had met Orson privately. He had not expected that Rulans could control that special energy and cripple a Meteor-class knight from the inside out.
Even his subordinate Ramsey was secretly shocked when he heard it.
Ramsey is stronger than Orson but cannot guarantee that he will not be harmed in a fight with Rulans.
If he wasn't careful and was also injected with that mysterious black energy by Lu Lans, wouldn't he also be crippled?
It's such a shame that an old man in his twilight years ruined a meteor with a bright future.
After this battle, they gave up using experts to attack Lu Lans, as that would result in huge losses.
Lu Lans would not take action easily, and the Wushan Territory is not a monolithic entity, so other methods can be used to deal with it.
Judging from Lulans's condition today, it is estimated that he will not have much left.
As for Roning, Jesus did not take this junior seriously.
Although he admitted that the other party's strength and talent were somewhat unexpectedly good, for the current Wushan Leader, the emergence of an outstanding junior would not be enough to solve the problem.
Wushanling is not only facing the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polante Thieves Group, but they also have their supporting forces behind them.
Jesus drove the Griffin to the front and was level with Ramsey.
"After we go back, we need to have our people prepare themselves. While stockpiling supplies, we must also prepare for the next battle."
"In addition, the operation against the Stone Territory will also begin. I think the time is ripe."
Ramsey nodded, "Okay, Father, we should take action."
The territory of Moonlight Valley is too small and does not quite match the status of the Jesus royal family.
Of course, they won't do it themselves.
The kingdom does not allow the great nobles to start a war rashly.
In other words, they must find a reasonable reason if they want to leave.
In the square of Wushanbao, as Her Royal Highness the Princess, Jesus, Orson, and others left, the convoys of other nobles also set off one after another.
Viscount Marvin originally wanted to return with Roning, but when he saw that the latter would have to stay in Wushan Castle for a few more days, he did not wait.
As the nobles left, Wushan Fort, bustling for more than ten days, finally became quiet.
The busy servants in the castle also breathed a sigh of relief. They finally didn't have to be so tense every day.
In addition to shopping, Roning spent most of the next few days practicing. Occasionally, he would sit and walk with Lulans or fight with Bretton. It was much more relaxing than the previous two days.
Five days later, on January 7, Ronin set out to return to Shanlin Town under the escort of a team of twelve knights led by Galil.
On the one hand, letting Galil escort ensured Ronin's safety; on the other hand, he also had a mission.
Lei Sen of Sean is still in prison awaiting trial.
His interrogation has been going on these days, but this guy is so tight-lipped unexpectedly.
Apart from confessing to occupying Shanlin Town's resources and joining forces with Princet to frame Roning when he could not defend himself, he did not confess to anything else.
For example, he did not admit that he had any connection with the Skull and Bones Society, nor did he admit that he organized and planned the assassination of Princess Blanche. He emphasized that Roning had made a false accusation.
Roning had no idea whether the other party knew about the assassination at the Colosseum, but he was related to the Skull and Bones Society.
Therefore, the key witness, the "Shadow" assassin captured by Roning, needs to be escorted here from Shanlin Town.
Although it is troublesome, depriving a noble of his title and territory is no trivial matter. Even if it is done for other vassals to see, the necessary procedures must be followed.
However, Roning knew that even if Shadow was sent to Wushan Castle, Lei Sen might still not acknowledge it.
After all, Youying only received the assassination mission from the president of the Skull and Bones Society, and he and Lei Sen might not even know each other.
But that doesn't mean there weren't other witnesses.
For Ronin, even though Joffrey, who had surrendered to him, had no such information, now that the Territory of Sean was in his pocket, he did not believe that no one else knew about it.
Let's not discuss anything else; discuss the Knight Feridon, who Lei Sen assigned to garrison the Black Collar Tribe.
The other party is a vassal of the Sean Lords and Lei Sen's most trusted subordinate. He must have access to much more information than a newcomer like Joffrey.
Now, it is estimated that Feridon has become a prisoner of Redal. Interrogating him can yield more information about the Skull and Bones Society and Leisen.
This time, Galil led his team to Shanlin Town. In addition to protecting Ronin and escorting Shadow, he also needed to send Lei Sen's close subordinates and family members to trial.
