Chapter 709 Ransom

Chapter 709 Ransom

"I want to see my guards... しw0." Lance said in a deep voice, so far, the only way to call the guards is to prevent accidents.

The unicorn knight shook his head and said, "Mr. Lance, we are enough to protect your safety, so there is no need to alarm your guards."

Hearing this, Lance's heart turned cold. It was obvious that even his guards were also detained, but this was also expected by him, so he was not too surprised. But his face became gloomy, and he said to the knight: "Please tell Sir Unter, I will remember everything he did, and I only hope that he will not regret it in the future."

The knight nodded: "I promise to bring it."

Lance snorted and slammed the door shut. After a while, the knight heard a sound of holding tables and throwing chairs from inside, obviously Lance was venting. The two knights looked at each other, but did not stop. Anyway, their task is to ensure that Lance does not step out of here, as for what he is doing inside, it is none of their business.

it's dark.

Lance was panting, sitting disheveled under the high window. Then the door opened, and a guard came in to light a candle for him. The Unicorn Castle still uses traditional lighting, so when the candles are lit, the flickering candles cast long shadows on the broken tables and chairs on the ground. Lance sat in the shadows, looking at the long shadows on the ground. He thought the guards would bring dinner at the same time, but they said, "Mr. Lance, Sir Unter, please come to the hall to talk."

"Did he finally want to see me?" Lance sneered and stood up. Arranging her clothes gracefully, she said with a bit of arrogance, "You still don't lead the way?"

Walking in the corridors of the castle, Lance glanced at a group of knights and soldiers behind him. They followed Lance all the time, step by step, as if they were afraid that Lance would get lost. Lance obviously felt that the atmosphere in the castle was not right, and Unter didn't seem to be afraid of himself or Reckerd to summon him again. When standing at the entrance of the hall, he stopped and said in a deep voice, "Where are my guards?"

"Mr. Lance, please don't waste Sir Unter's time." The knight opened the door for him and gave him a push.

He glared.

But there was an expressionless face in his eyes, Lance sighed and could only walk forward. The hall was brightly lit. In front of the two unicorn battle flags hanging down, there was a luxurious and solemn stone seat. It used to be Daniel's seat, but now the young Ante was sitting there. Sitting on the obviously oversized stone seat, the boy looked a little cramped. Lance found that he kept looking at the person on the left. It was a young man who seemed not much older than Angte.

When he turned his head to look, Lance first saw a pair of blue eyes.

But I don't know if it was because of the lighting in the hall, those blue pupils turned into a faint brown color again. The man smiled charmingly, and Lance admitted it was the warmest smile he'd ever seen. It is as gentle as a spring breeze, so that no hostility can be born.

"Mr. Lance." Unter coughed dryly.

Lance came back to his senses, stood still, and returned to his previous unruliness. He raised his head and said, "Sir Unter, what do you mean? Not only is he under house arrest, but also my guards are detained. This is for me and Earl Reckerd. It's all extremely disrespectful!"

Angte frowned. The boy had been a viscount for a while, and he was no longer the young master he was back then. He already has the consciousness of a jazz, one of which is that he resents Lance for belittling him so much. He simply snorted, and instead of looking at Lance, he said to the man with strange pupils, "Sir Edward, he is Lance. Now, I will hand him over to you. You can dispose of him."

Lance was startled, he had heard of it before. During the time Allen left, all affairs in his territory were represented by another baron. Edward's name has been remembered in his heart since Hilo's defeat last time. But until now, he saw Edward for the first time, unexpectedly so young.

Moreover, according to Angte, it seems that he betrayed him?

"What's going on?" Lance yelled, "Unter, are you planning to break the contract? This will arouse the anger of Earl Reckerd, have you thought it through?"

At the end of Angt's answer, Edward stood up and said for him: "Lord Angt has naturally thought it through. His Excellency is very clear about the anger of an earl who is far away in the mountain city of Dorne, and a powerful neighbor who may become an enemy at any time. This How to choose between the two, who is the enemy and who is the friend, the adults are very clear."

He clapped his palms.

The door of the hall opened again, and a rough and domineering momentum rushed in from outside the door. Lance was the first to bear the brunt, his heart beat faster and his face turned pale. He turned his head and saw Bloy walking in dragging the Hammer of Forbidden. Behind Bloy, two soldiers came to Lance with a stretcher. On the stretcher was a blood-stained man. He seemed to be unconscious, but the rising and falling of his chest showed that he was still alive.

"Glenn!" Lance screamed, of course he recognized the man. Although he didn't like Glenn's rudeness and inhumanity. Ke Lansi had to admit that Glenn's combat strength in Dorne Mountain City was only inferior to Hilo's, otherwise he would not be able to take the position of deputy commander. But now this man was thrown on a stretcher like a tattered puppet, apparently seriously injured. Even Glenn was injured like this, what about the army in Dorne Mountain City?

"This is Glenn's deputy regiment, right? Well, there are still fifty surrendered soldiers, plus Mr. Lance. I'm looking forward to it now. How much ransom will Earl Reckerd offer for you?" Edward said with a smile on his face. : "Just recently, in order to encourage farmers to plant, our territory has reduced their taxes a lot. I am worried that the treasury will be empty. Now, some urgent needs have been relieved."

Lance's face was ashen, and he said intermittently: "Impossible, we have about four hundred people, how come..."

"Believe it or not, the truth is here. Mr. Lance, please come to our Dawn Castle as a guest." Edward made a "please" gesture.

Bloy made a gesture, and immediately two Mountain King soldiers stepped forward, holding Lance on the left and right. Lance left the hall reluctantly, while Edward turned around and bowed to Unter: "Thank you for your support, Mr. Unter."

Unter waved his hands weakly. God knows how bad he felt when he saw the fifty or so listless captives and the unconscious Glenn. If he had any thoughts before, then this time, Edward used overwhelming force to show him that offending a powerful neighbor is far more troublesome than offending the Earl who is far away in the mountain city of Dorne.

By this time, he had few options. The little Sir seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and smiled reluctantly: "Please send my greetings to Lord Allen for me."

"Your heart, I will definitely bring it for you." Edward smiled.
