Lord of the North

Inside the box were the heads of her confidantes, and most of them hadn't drained the blood. Without exception, they still had expressions of astonishment on their faces, as if they couldn't believe it.

Cecil looked at Audrey who was a little panicked and full of anger and hatred with a smile on his face. The resentment he had accumulated in his heart for so long was finally vented.

It's just a pity that he can't do anything to Audrey, otherwise conquering a noble lady with a high status is also a very fulfilling thing.

Although Baron Dongte's title is not high, his actual status is not low. It can be said that his status in Jalan Province is second only to the Earl of Ika.

The reason why the status of the Earl of Ika cannot be shaken is because he is not comparable to people like Atum and Bron. The irreplaceable credit was even called full of loyalty at the time.

That's why he has the ability to gain a foothold in Jalan Province for many years. Even though Baron Dongte holds the military power, he still dare not challenge him to usurp the throne, and is willing to support him.

Because he understands very well that as long as this country is still named Lopez, the Earl of Ika's status will be unshakable. Even if Jason breaks through the province of Jalan, in their opinion, Jason will definitely not attack the Earl of Ika .

For the sake of his ancestors' contributions to the Lopez Kingdom.

"Miss Audrey, please go back to your room and have a good rest. I will leave the battle with Atum to me." Seeing Audrey trembling with anger,

"You dare to harm your colleagues, Cecil, aren't you afraid of His Royal Highness Phil's trial?" Audrey finally recovered from her shock when she heard the words. She clasped her hands tightly, her eyes spit fire, He gritted his teeth and drank angrily.

"ha!"

Cecil laughed dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that this girl was so naive and terrifying, he slowly suppressed his smile, looked at her with cold eyes and said, "I am the supreme officer of the Baria Pass conferred by His Highness, the superior of all of you present here." , how do you think His Highness will judge if you tell the ins and outs of the matter?"

He had a half-smile: "Is it going to judge you, or your father, or me?"

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Audrey's forehead. She finally figured out her situation. Maybe their outcome was doomed when Baron Dongte decided to evade Cecil.

However, there are still a few people who can be as crazy as Cecil. Ordinary people who are emptied of their rights usually choose to protect themselves wisely. Bin Ke said that he has never met someone who chooses crazy revenge and then regains his rights. Pass.

"Send your lords back to rest, they can't leave their houses without my order."

This is blatantly putting them under house arrest, no, it should be said to be imprisonment.

"General Cecil, you will definitely regret today's decision." Compared to Audrey's pale face when he left, General Bink looked much calmer. He stopped his steps, glanced at him coldly and said.

He was not alarmist. The generals Cecil killed were not ordinary generals, nor were they subordinates of Baron Dongte. They just supported Baron Dongte.

Most of these people were generals of the nearby nobles, and even people sent by the Earl of Ika, but now they all died in the hands of Cecil.

Maybe they didn't care about this matter, and His Royal Highness Phil is even less likely to punish him for it, but when the war is over, it won't be the case if Cecil is still in the north.

His behavior has offended most of the noble collectives in Jalan Province, and he is bound to bear their revenge in the future.

"Then General Raubink doesn't have to worry about it." Cecil stepped forward, brushed past him, and sat down where Audrey was before as if he wasn't worried.

"General, what should we do next?"

Wait until Audrey and others are taken away,

A man who looked like a high-ranking general came to Cecil's side, and he asked worriedly.

"What, are you afraid?"

Cecil Cong raised a glass of wine on the table. He was yearning for the luxurious life of these nobles, and he would prepare fine wine when holding meetings.

"No, General, I just..."

The general immediately explained nervously that these people who used to be Atum's men were more afraid of Cecil than Atum, because he was too vicious, so he couldn't speak when he saw Cecil's eyes up.

Because he really wanted to quit.

"Fear is an emotion that everyone has. You have it, and so do I. In fact, I also want to leave this city and run far away, but we have no other choice now. If we lose, it means we are finished."

After Cecil finished speaking, he drank the wine in his hand with a gloomy expression.

"Divide all the soldiers into a team of 2,000 people, and guard the city wall alternately day and night. Don't give the enemy a chance to attack the fortress wall. And send a centurion to guard the secret passage left by Atum to prevent them from digging again. There."

The existence of that secret passage has always been a heart disease for Cecil. Although he has destroyed that passage, he still feels a little uneasy.

That's why he archived his treasure there and sent troops to garrison it.

"In addition, send someone to keep an eye on their movements, even if only one scout team leaves their barracks, they must report to me."

It can be seen from his order that he is very afraid of Atum's ability.

General: "Yes, my lord."

"Atum, the decisive battle is coming, and I want to settle the old and new scores with you!" After everyone around retreated, Cecil stayed here alone drinking wine, his eyes were cold, and his weapon was fierce.

This was also one of the reasons why he insisted on taking back his rights from Audrey. He wanted to wash away his shame, and the most effective way was to defeat Atum himself.

………………………………………………

At this time, outside the city wall, Atum also watched the Baria pass in front of the barracks expressionlessly, this fortress that was gradually reinforced by his own attention.

Yes, this fortress was reinforced by his order more than ten years ago. It used to be just a dilapidated camp with a wall of two or three meters and more than a dozen houses.

"Before the sun's birthday tomorrow, order the army to launch the first attack." After a long time, Atum turned and returned to the barracks, and issued his attack order.

"If it's not dawn, our Black God Ballista may not be able to exert its maximum effect." A general from the Iron Fang collar came to his side and reminded him softly.
