Chapter 161 Bloody Funeral (Part 2)
With a crash, a piece of gravel fell from the ceiling that was crispy in the flames, and hit Mark next to him.
Mark was so frightened that he took a step back, swallowed his saliva and shouted loudly: "Raven, Judra!"
"You united together to plot to kill my father and usurp what should have been The title belongs to me."
"I will definitely expose this crime to the public. Neither the Slater family nor the Fox family will tolerate your evil deeds!"
"Just wait to be burned on the rack!"
As he spoke, he slowly moved backwards. After saying the last sentence, he walked backwards out of the door.
Mark clenched his fist fiercely. The black gemstone on the ring on the little finger of his right hand shone and shattered. Suddenly, a thick darkness like ink poured out, covering the entire hall.
This is a one-time second-level magic "dark sky" stored in the ring. Only the caster can see things normally in the environment.
A few minutes later, when the darkness dissipated, Mark was nowhere to be seen.
Judra spat fiercely with bloody spit.
With Mark's escape, the Ironforge Legion's civil war has also been subsided. No matter which side they were loyal to before, they can only be Judra's soldiers now. They have laid down their weapons and saluted their new baron.
But Judra did not respond to the loyalty of these people. He stared blankly at Barney lying on the ground, the corners of his mouth twitching unconsciously.
Barney is still so young, only eleven years old. He could have had a bright future, but now he has turned into a cold corpse, his eyes widened in horror, and the corners of his mouth are still hanging. of blood foam.
Seeing Barney's appearance, Judra truly felt what heart-breaking pain was - his heart was really hurting!
This is his only son.
With a slightly shaky step, Judra walked through the soldiers who were saluting solemnly, and walked to the corner of the hall, where many servants were huddled together.
Kicking over a slave who was blocking the way, Judra bent down, grabbed a maid's hair, and dragged her out of the crowd.
Her belly was bulging, obviously she had been pregnant for a long time - her name was Finley, Mark's lover.
“Ah——”
Finley grabbed Judra's hand with both hands, wailing and trying to get him to let go, but to no avail. Her legs were dragged to the ground, and were cut bloody by the scattered glass shards.
Drag Finley to Barney's body, Judra picked up a long sword from the ground.
The moment she saw the corpse in front of her, Fenli realized the fate she was about to face. The strong fear stimulated her nerves, making her feel a twitching in her lower abdomen, and she pressed her hands on it unconsciously. :
“Jude Sir La, my child is about to be born. I am willing to do anything to you. Please let my child go. The child is innocent!"
But Judra turned a deaf ear to this and pulled him up. Fenli's hair, the long sword wiped away the mother's throat.
Blood spurted out.
Finli fell to the ground, her feet still twitching, her hands protecting her stomach, with fear and pain in her eyes - she was not dead yet.
But Judra was not prepared to end like this. He kicked Fenli's arm away, took a step across to step on her hands, held the sword upside down with both hands, raised it high, and pointed it at Fenli. The lower abdomen was stabbed suddenly!
The light of despair froze in Fenli's eyes.
Even the Ironforge soldiers who were watching looked away.
Throwing the sword on the ground, Judra stood up unsteadily, but his heart was not at all relaxed.
Raven walked up to Judra and already had a contract in his hand: "Sign it."
Seeing Raven's face, Judra wanted to slap him His hand flew away, but when he thought of Raven's thunderous blow before, Judra could only swallow all his emotions and reached out to take the contract.
The above content is very simple. Judra wants to return the Eagle Beak Mountain and Thousand Needles Jungle, which originally belong to the Eagle Territory, and also permanently cede the Ash Mountain Mine to the Griffith family.
The format of the contract is very formal. It will take effect immediately as long as it is submitted to the Council of Nobles for record. Anyone who violates the contract will be severely punished by the royal family. The lightest one is to lose the title of nobility and deprive the fief.
If this contract is really signed, Judra's name will definitely leave a clear mark in the family history and be reviled by all subsequent members of the Wharton family.
But he was not qualified to refuse.
Signing her name on the contract, sealing it with blood as ink, Judra returned it to Raven.
Raven read the contents of the contract, nodded and left.
Watching Raven's back go away until it disappeared, Judra kicked away Finley's body on the ground and said loudly: "Everyone, search the entire Ironforge for any remnants of Mark's party. , kill!”
"Yes, Lord Baron!" The Ironforge Legion retreated after the order, and the attendants and maids also left in panic.
Judra was the only one left in the entire hall.
He picked up Barney's body and sat quietly on the steps, his eyes dull.
The whole hall was in a mess, more than half of it was shrouded in flames, the walls were smoked black, the overturned tables and chairs were filled with arrows, and various corpses were lying on the ground in random order, with blood mixed together without distinction. each other.
They were all the elites of the Ironforge Territory, but they died here in vain, at the funeral of the former baron of the Ironforge Territory.
Judra's eyes moved, first falling on Sebron, then Surrey, Byram, and Arden. These four were all knights of the Ironforge Territory, and now they were all turned into corpses.
In this funeral, nearly half of the Iron Forge Legion was lost. All four knights were killed in the battle. Judra was the only extraordinary person left in the entire Iron Forge collar!
And this bloody funeral is destined to spread throughout the entire Nord province.
Whether it is force or reputation, the Wharton family at this moment has been extremely weak.
And there is only one beneficiary - Raven!
"Damn Mark..." Judra punched the ground hatefully: "...damn Raven!!"
At the same time, in the jungle outside the Ironforge Territory, his brother was carrying out a The same curse:
"Damn Judra, damn Raven!!!"
Although he has temporarily lost his inheritance rights, he still has a chance!
For the raid at the funeral, Mark made meticulous preparations, which naturally included the escape route after failure.
The previous talk of seeking help from Slater or the Fox family was purely to paralyze Raven and Judra, divert their possible pursuers, and hide their true purpose.
Next, Mark will go to the northeastern border of Ironforge Territory, where there are prepared clothes, war horses and gold coins.
After that, he will change his appearance and pass through the territory of Baron Kate, heading to Savery County, then crossing Hippok, Wilt, Hodges, and Berry County, and entering the adjacent province of Molinier. .
When the time comes, he will find a way to go all the way to the capital to expose Judra and Raven's crimes to the world!
There will be many nobles with noble titles but no fiefdoms in the royal capital. Mark originally thought that it would be difficult to seduce these big shots with the iron furnace collar alone.
But it's different now. Raven is involved in the matter. A viscounty is enough to make most nobles covetous!
In this way, Mark can not only get back the iron furnace territory, but also possibly gain more territory!
While thinking about the future and cheering himself up, Mark suddenly felt something was wrong, as if someone was following him behind him!
“Who!?”
Mark immediately drew out his sword and turned back suddenly. But there were only shrubs, weeds and branches blown by the wind.
"Huh——" After a long breath, Mark patted his chest.
After taking a deep breath, Mark turned around and was about to continue escaping. However, as soon as he turned around, he froze in place.
What filled his field of vision was a pair of huge nostrils!
“Ah...!!!”
Mark's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. He sat down on it with a thud, crawled backwards using his hands and feet, and slowly saw the outline of the giant thing in front of him.
It was a gigantic monster. Its head alone was the size of a house. It was shaped like a lizard and covered with dark green scales. Its bloody mouth was slightly open, and each of its teeth was as sharp as a sword. , its thick forelimbs stood on the ground, supporting its plump and round body, which made it look no longer so ferocious, but rather... cute.
What reassured Mark was that this monster didn't mean to eat him, at least not yet. It just stood...or rather sat in place.
Without time to think about why this behemoth appeared here, Mark only had one thought in his mind.
Run! ! !
He struggled to stand up, chose another direction and started running, but before he could take two steps, the scene in front of him changed again.
The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning was flowing like a python, strong winds were blowing, and vegetation was flying everywhere!
Just a dozen meters in front of him, streaks of dazzling blue light appeared out of thin air, gathering, solidifying, and changing in mid-air, turning into profound and complicated magic runes, like breathing flashing.
Crack——
With a crisp sound, a dark blue crack appeared between the blue runes. The cracks became more and more dense, and then suddenly shattered, and then There was no scenery to be seen, only a deep void!
At this moment, Mark's soul was trembling, and he was not sure what would appear in the void.
Is it another monster, or a demon he has never seen before?
The first thing that appeared was a bright silver scepter.
Then, a figure slowly flew out from it.
Mark's expression froze, because he did not expect that the person who emerged from it would be so young, so--beautiful!
Her chestnut hair flew in the wind and slowly fell on her shoulders, as if it had no weight at all.
On his smooth forehead, he wears a heart-shaped crystal necklace, and his slender eyebrows look a bit sharp.
The skin is so delicate that not even the wind can stay on it, and the pink lips are so bright and moist.
She was wearing a long white dress like fringes, her shoulders were half exposed, showing her uneven collarbones, and she was wearing a pair of high heels that seemed to be outlined with silver threads.
Mark swallowed hard, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he wanted to pounce on her immediately, but as the young woman's eyes slowly opened, the restlessness in Mark's heart suddenly melted away.
They were a pair of amber eyes, with a brilliance as thick as the long river of time flowing in their depth. They were elegant, solemn, and majestic, giving people an awe-inspiring and inviolable impression.
It is the divine blood witch who once appeared in the Bloody Highlands——
Anno.
Whoosh.
The sound of wind sounded from the top of Mark's head, and the fat lizard like a hill landed lightly next to Annuo, and gently rubbed Annuo's arm with the head of his head as if to please, and his expression was even a bit intimate!
This monster is actually her magic pet!
“This distinguished lady!” Mark considered his words. Even though the other party looked younger than him, he unconsciously used honorifics and even spoke in a panic:
“Excuse me, are you lost? ”
Annuo did not answer his question: “Your name is Mark?”
At this time, Mark should have hidden his identity, but for some reason, facing this woman, he didn’t want to at all. Dare to lie: "Yes."
"Very good." Annuo nodded, and when he raised his finger, strands of dazzling purple light overflowed from his fingers and rushed towards Mark.
Mark's pupils suddenly tightened, and he instinctively sensed the danger.
Even though he realized the disparity in strength between the two sides, Mark still did not give up. Brown-yellow earthly fighting spirit surged around him, and he turned around and started running wildly!
The dazzling purple light passed him by and disappeared into the air.
Mark had a look of astonishment on his face, and the next moment, his astonishment turned into horror.
There was an explosion as dense as glass breaking, and the picture in front of Mark suddenly collapsed, turning into jagged blades that shone with purple light, surrounding Mark!
The blades were like mirrors, each piece reflecting his face distorted by fear.
He looked around tremblingly, and all he could see was darkness, but endless blades, as if the whole world had turned into a sea of knives!
Crack.
A large amount of cold sweat slid down from his forehead and fell on a sharp blade, which was immediately cut into two even halves.
"I, I'll go with you!" Mark's voice was so messy that it lost its tone.
The sharp blades all over the sky disappeared quietly, as if they had never appeared before. Mark’s knees became weak and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
A shadow appeared next to him, and on the back of the fat lizard, Annuo was sitting diagonally.
Mark breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little lucky.
Since they want to arrest me, they must take me away. In this way, I can ride with her once.
He began to imagine what he looked like when he was lying next to An Nuo.
"Xiao Mo!" An Nuo suddenly spoke.
Xiao Mo? But my name is Mark?
In this stunned moment, the fat lizard's eyes suddenly lit up, his tongue popped out, he wrapped Mark around the waist and took it into his mouth!
“No eating allowed.” Annuo said again.
Xiao Mo's expression darkened (so hungry!).
“Let’s go, I’ll definitely fill you up in a while.” Annuo patted the lizard on the back of its head.
Xiao Mo nodded and shook the Mark in his mouth into confusion. Then he turned his body, exerted his strength on his limbs, jumped up with a cry, opened his front paws, and pulled out two sail-like wings. Glides through the air, falls back down soon, and then jumps up again.
In a few ups and downs, the figure disappeared into the sky.
