The knight was scared just now because Viscount Kemil was really terrifying. The aura that he burst out made him feel like a small boat in the vast ocean, which could be overturned by the waves at any time.
The Viscount Kemil was a peak grand knight. The aura that he burst out with his full strength was indeed a little too terrifying for an ordinary official knight like him.
The knight fearfully repeated what he had said earlier, “My Lords, Grand Duke Cameron has rejected your request to take your side!”
“Grand Duke Cameron said that he doesn’t dare to trust a noble who doesn’t follow the rules.”
As soon as the knight finished speaking, he stood on the spot with some trepidation. Even he knew what this meant.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely stifling.
A noble knight suddenly spoke to the knight, “Sir Knight, you can leave first. Help me close the door!”
After the knight left, the baron, who was sitting at the top left of the long table in the meeting room, spoke to Viscount Kemil with a sarcastic tone, “Viscount Kemil, your brilliant plan has completely failed!”
“Baron Kant indeed bears the stigma of defecting to the demon.”
“However, he did not withdraw the extremely powerful ‘Swadia’ army that belonged to him.”
“With this ‘Swadian army’ around, we can’t do anything to them.”
The baron, who was sitting at the top right of the long table in the conference room, frowned slightly and shouted at the baron opposite him in a low voice, “Enough, Baron David!”
“Now that things have come to this, we are all in the same boat. What’s the use of you mocking Viscount Kemil? You should think of something!”
Viscount Kemil walked to his seat of honor without saying a word.
He had miscalculated.
When they created that rumor together, they had completely lost the opportunity to side with Baron Kant in this battle for the throne.
And now, even Grand Duke Cameron had explicitly rejected their side.
This meant that their greatest confidence, relying on the strength they had in their hands, and the opportunity to make both sides happy, had been personally destroyed by them.
If they did not seek death, they would not die.
“Facing the current situation, what good ideas do you have?”
“Now, Baron Kant’s subordinates, leading the North County noble alliance army, are approaching our Seria Castle step by step.”.
Viscount Kemil was not in high spirits at all. His tone of voice was very low, which showed that he was in a very low mood.
In fact, many of the nobles in the room had eyes filled with anger and hatred. This was what worried Viscount Kemil the most.
According to the current situation, it was his speech that brought all the nobles here to this point.
This was a desperate situation.
Their homes were destroyed, the road ahead was blocked, the road back was cut off, the food crisis, and the strong enemy had arrived.
At this moment, the baron, who was sitting at the first seat on the upper left, suddenly stood up.
He said with some schadenfreude, “Okay, I won’t play with you anymore!”
“You are at the end of your rope, there is no way out, but I still have a chance!”
“I can seek refuge with my mother’s family. My mother was born into a noble family. As long as I seek refuge with them, they will not reject me. At least, they will not reject the expansion of their own estate.”
“I can still ask for their help to reclaim my estate in the South County!”
“With their protection, no one will dare to lay their hands on me when I have little power!”
There were clear barriers between the nobles. As a middle-level noble, the baron was considered a pretty good noble to have a territory in the South County. His mother was actually from a high-level noble. This could only mean that his father’s methods were superb.
At this moment, almost half of the people heard the baron’s words and their eyes lit up. One of them said, “Baron David, please take me with you. I’m willing to pay one-third of the territory as the price to obtain the protection of your mother’s family!”
“I’m also willing to pay one-third of my territory…”
“And me…”
These noble families were like grasping at a life-saving straw in a desperate situation.
They were even willing to give up a part of the land that was the foundation of the family.
They could not be blamed for this. They were in a desperate situation. If they did not seize this opportunity, they might not be able to take back even a single bit of their family’s land.
Who knew if they would die on the battlefield or become bandits? No matter what, it was an extremely difficult task to rely on them to take back the land.
Even if they took back the land, they would not be able to keep it.
Seeing so many noble families agree with him, a smile of triumph flashed across Baron David’s face.
If so many noble families supported his mother’s family with him, he could completely rely on his identity to become the big shot among these noble families.
There were endless benefits.
“Good!”
“Since everyone wants to take shelter with my mother’s family, let’s hurry up and lead the family’s private soldiers to leave this place. Baron Kant’s subordinates are about to arrive.”
At this moment, the originally gloomy Viscount Kemil suddenly stood up and pulled out the knight sword from his waist.
Following that, a faint orange light was emitted from the knight sword, which was originally just an artifact.
! !
Viscount Kemil took two or three steps and quickly arrived beside Baron David, whose mother was a noble from the upper class. Without any hesitation, he raised his sword and slashed.
“Viscount Kemil! How dare you commit murder?”
“Stop!”
“No!”
A group of nobles screamed in panic, but they were too far away.
Baron David pulled out the knight sword, which was also an artifact, in a panic.
However, he was only an official knight. How could he be a match for Viscount Kemil, who was a grand knight.
Kacha!
The two knight swords clashed. The one in Viscount Kemil’s hand was like a sword that could cut through iron like it was mud. It directly cut off the knight sword in Baron David’s hand.
Then, without hesitation, it continued to slash at Baron David’s neck.
Splash!
The artifact knight sword that was infused with extraordinary power by Viscount Kemil was not inferior to a real knight sword. It cut off the baron’s head without any obstruction.
Fresh blood gushed out from Baron David’s broken neck, directly spraying blood all over Viscount Kemil’s body.
Viscount Kemil grinned and said, “Now, do you still want to betray the alliance agreement?”
The many noble families were not intimidated by Viscount Kemil at all. Most of them had the strength of a knight, and there were even one or two grand knights among them.
One of the barons who had the strength of a grand knight looked at Viscount Kemil with hatred, “Devil! Viscount Kemil, I think you are the real devil!”
“You have brought us to the abyss of despair again and again!”
Those nobles who wanted to leave with Baron David looked at Viscount Kemil with hatred, cursing crazily and cursing Viscount Kemil.
They did not care about the dignity of a noble anymore.
“If you have the time to hate me, you might as well think of a way!”
“You want to escape? That’s impossible!”
“I can only tell you that not only were our paths closed by Baron Kant’s men, but our paths of retreat were also cut off by some extremely valiant knights!”
“They were also wearing Baron Kant’s Red Background Gold Lion Badge!”
Viscount Kemil looked at the nobles and said mockingly, “If you want to escape, you will find that it is meaningless to scatter your power. You will be mercilessly devoured and killed by Baron Kant!”
“Since you are in a desperate situation, noble, show your courage!”
“Don’t forget why the noble is the ruler of this continent!”
After saying that, Viscount Kemil walked out of the meeting room with a bloody knight sword in his hand.
