Lord of the North

There was a sense of provocation in asking Cecil directly at the door. Originally, Audrey didn't want to do this. After all, it was too disrespectful.

But Cecil's constant inaction and procrastination made her feel angry. This person did not cooperate with her plan at all.

And after Baron Dongte left here, Audrey was gearing up to make some achievements, so she set her sights on Atum's extremely strange disappearance from her residence.

I also want to beat Cecil by the way, telling him not to make small moves at this critical juncture. Recently, this guy's embezzlement of military pay and supplies at the Baria pass is too ugly, but Audrey still can't find any evidence.

It's just that the first big thing she wanted to do was to get a soft nail from Cecil.

Who is Cecil?

He is a cunning old wolf who can bury evil intentions under Atum's hands for more than ten years, and finally bites back at the most critical moment. Although he has been calculated by Atum all the time, he still believes that he has successfully achieved his original the goal of.

This kind of person would take what little girl Audrey did? Obviously impossible.

So on the second day, he killed a commander who was stationed at the city gate, and then told Audrey that this person was Atum's accomplice, and it was this person who quietly sent them out of the city that day.

In this way, he directly pushed away his crime of negligence in surveillance. He has internal support. This can't be blamed for my poor planning. In fact, it is more because his current residence is the city lord's mansion, which is The place where Atum lived before.

He hides a lot of secrets here, such as the evidence of his corruption, so he must not let anyone other than his cronies enter it.

This made Audrey feel aggrieved for several days. She was very dissatisfied with this reply. Do you really think everyone is blind?

This leader is just a poor guy, maybe he was made a scapegoat because he didn't know where he offended Cecil.

But now that Atum and his army are about to reach the Barea pass, Audrey didn't care about so many rules, and directly came to ask her own question.

There is also the meaning of questioning guilt, she wants to hold Cecil's 1,000 troops in her hands.

"Miss Audrey, please show some respect, I am your superior."

Cecil's expression was displeased. Although Audrey was in charge of more troops than him, he was nominally the top general of the Barea Pass.

Because he was a pawn that Sandra found in the White Sword Province. He took advantage of the dissatisfaction he had accumulated with Atum over the past ten years, and he was Sandra's subordinate.

"Hmph, a superior who evades punishment and embezzles food and salary? No wonder you have been suppressed by Atum, and you can only be his deputy for the rest of your life."

Sandra showed a sneer on her face. Although with Cecil's help they won the Barea Pass without bloodshed, she still didn't like this hypocrite and scumbag.

"You think I dare not do anything to you? Your father is not here now!"

Cecil's forehead was covered with veins, because Audrey poked his sore foot, which has been his heart disease for more than ten years: "If it wasn't because he climbed a high branch, how could he compare to me with his martial artist?"

Back then, he was going to be the head of the legion, but because of the strong recommendation of the Yuri family and the support of the nearby nobles, Atum came from behind to sit in that position, and married the head of the Yuri family. The apple of the eye.

This is the enmity between Cecil and Atum, and why he agreed without hesitation when Sandra's men found him.

He wants revenge.

After he finished speaking, the dozen or so guards behind Audrey immediately drew their weapons, surrounded her and watched the surrounding soldiers vigilantly.

"If you keep me here for an hour and can't get out, it won't be long before your house will be razed to the ground.

"

There was a dangerous light in Audrey's eyes, she was fully prepared to force Cecil, and Cecil had no doubt that she would do so.

"Then I'd like to try it."

It's just that he can't be subdued at this time. If he is subdued, his prestige will be lost in the Baria Pass, and in the eyes of Sandra and the others, he will have no value to use.

The two of them were deadlocked for a long time, and neither of them was willing to give in. At this moment, a sound of footsteps interrupted the deadlock between them. It turned out that it was the General Bink who was left behind by Baron Dongte to assist Audrey.

Baron Dongte left him because he was worried that his daughter would be too hot-tempered and had a conflict with Cecil. Judging from the current situation, it turns out that no one knows a daughter like a father.

General Bink felt a headache after seeing this tense scene when he entered the door. He just persuaded Audrey not to trouble Cecil yesterday, but she turned around and threw his advice behind her.

"Everyone put down their weapons!"

He yelled at Audrey's guards. Unfortunately, they were all trusted warriors of Baron Dongte, and they didn't listen to anyone's orders except Baron Dongte and Audrey.

As for General Selsey's subordinates, it is even more impossible to lay down their weapons. After Baron Dongte took all his rights away, he values ​​his own safety more than anyone else. The general guards around him are all He selected them carefully, and their loyalty was not lower than the guards around Audrey.

"Miss, you are too anxious, causing internal strife like this is not good for us!"

He knew that his words wouldn't have much effect, but he didn't expect the people on both sides to ignore him so simply, so General Bink had no choice but to come to Audrey's side and whispered helplessly.

"Infighting? He dare not."

Audrey sneered, then lowered her voice and said, this is one of her confidences. Selsey has just betrayed Atum, and he has no other choice but to devote himself to Phil's command.

"But if this stalemate continues, Atum's army will approach the city."

Binke had to remind her that this girl was arrogant and wanted to hold all the rights in the Barea Pass in her hands to avoid accidents in the ensuing battle, but she didn't consider whether she would touch Ceci by doing so I have fragile and sensitive nerves now.

Audrey's complexion changed, and she didn't know that the most important thing at this time was internal stability, but Atum's disappearance was really strange, and Selsey was unwilling to cooperate with her in a thorough search of the city lord's mansion.

It seems that he is hiding some shady secrets in it, such as the money and food embezzled by him.
