Chapter 274 The Destruction of the Fox Family
Dark night, Fox Castle.
The Fox family's family dinner was as quiet as ever, with only the crisp sound of knives and forks hitting the dinner plate.
Montreal enjoyed his dinner in a serious manner, his actions perfectly in line with the etiquette of a nobleman. Even the royal etiquette officer here could not find any fault with his behavior.
Gul'dan's back was straight, like a proud rooster.
He was always very particular when dining, and the maids he trained had very smart eyes and reactions. They must always remember to wipe off the sauce on the edge of the plate without disturbing his meal at all.
Only Sanchi, the youngest son of Montreal, put his left hand across the table and his right hand hanging casually on the plate. He picked up a large piece of steak with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, making his mouth full of oil. Then drink it down with red wine.
So he eats the fastest.
Wiping the grease from his mouth with a napkin, Sanchi stood up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes: "I've finished eating, father, brother."
As he said this, he pushed the chair and asked Go outside.
Gul'dan put down his fork, took the silk scarf handed by the maid behind him and wiped his mouth: "My dear brother, can't you take some time to spend a good time with your family?"
"My dear brother, look who is sitting here!" Sanchi stood Stopping his steps, he turned around helplessly and said with a smile: "An imperial earl, the first heir to an earl. And me? Oh my God, I have no official, no position, no title. You want me to sit with such two big men? You should also consider my feelings, right?”
Gul’dan’s brow With a twist, and just about to reprimand his dishonest brother, Montreal put down his fork with a snap: "I have been discussing with Archbishop Thomas recently and obtained an admission permit from him for Stormwind City Theological Seminary."< br>
“Sanchi, are you interested in going there? Take a look?”
Sanchi showed an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise: “Wow, Stormwind Seminary, that’s really an amazing place. I heard that in the Kingdom of Lozeron, if you don’t have a theology degree, You can’t even inherit the family title!”
"My dear father, with your arrangement, have you left me a piece of land in the Kingdom of Lozeron?"
Montreal looked directly into Sanchi's eyes: "I am asking for your opinion now. "
"Asking for advice?" Sanchi sneered. : "Do I have room to refuse?"
"But I still want to thank you for not notifying me until the day of departure."
"Then, please forgive me for being rude, I want to Prepare for this cross-continental journey.”
After saying that, Sanchi pressed his left hand on his chest, raised his right hand high, crossed his legs and squatted down to perform an exaggerated farewell ceremony, then turned around and opened the door and left the restaurant.
Gul'dan muttered: "This guy is getting more and more outrageous."
Montreal did not answer the call. After all, the Papal State was far away in the east of the continent, and Sanchi was thousands of miles away. Yao, why bother leaving a bad memory before leaving?
And in the end, the fact that Sanchi became like this has nothing to do with his father.
Seeing his father's silence, Gul'dan thought for a moment and changed the topic: "I heard that Raven successfully dealt with the small civil strife in Xuefeng County, and was still leading the garrison in Koja. Now It can already be regarded as a powerful assistant to us.”
"Your vision in choosing a husband for Nancy is really far-reaching."
In response to this compliment, Montreal just nodded, and then suddenly asked: "Have you been in contact with Nancy recently?"
"No." Gul'dan shook his head: "But I heard that since After marrying Griffith, her previous bad temper changed a lot. She would organize cocktail parties every once in a while, and many noble ladies from not only Xuefeng County but also the five northwest counties attended. ”
"After all, it is the blood of my Fox family." Montreal raised a smile on his lips.
The ability of aristocratic ladies is reflected in establishing a social circle, and cocktail parties are the only way to build this network of relationships.
A long-term and stable social circle can provide powerful help to the husband, whether it is collecting and exchanging intelligence, or bringing the relationship between noble families closer.
For a baroness, being able to organize cocktail parties for knights and ladies in the territory is a foundation; being able to win over the wives of surrounding nobles is an ability; and like Nancy, as a baroness, being able to win over the entire county and even the northwest The nobles of the five counties can be called outstanding.
“In this regard, the one in your family should learn more from Nancy.” Montreal nodded lightly to Guldan: “After all, she will become a countess in the future.”
Guldan looked slightly embarrassed. His wife came from a viscount family. She had been pampered since she was a child, and she really had no social talent.
Moreover, he was quite jealous. Guldan would occasionally show up at a drinking party, but if he glanced at any lady or lady, he would quarrel over it for half a month.
But Guldan can't take this to complain about Montreal.
As the Fox family motto says, a nobleman who cannot manage his family cannot manage his territory.
Coughing to cover up his embarrassment, Gul'dan asked: "Speaking of which, father, if Anthony comes back, how should we deal with it?"
"After the last competitive meeting, He should probably know that our Fox family is deeply rooted in the province of Nord and cannot be shaken by an outsider, not even if he is the governor," Montreal said slowly. : "And even though Slater has been keeping silent, they never want another big shot to put pressure on us in the Nord province."
"So, the next step is to show off every move. If Anthony knows how to measure, then we might as well give him some face; if he insists on suppressing us, we might as well shrink back, but if it goes too far..."
Guldan nodded slowly. He could now basically understand seven or eight points of Montreal's words.
The Fox family is not just focusing on the province. Through clues, they also learned that the empire is planning a war on the northeastern border. The more times like this, the less likely there will be chaos within the empire.
The Fox family has the ability to cause a turmoil in the Nord province and completely destroy the entire province!
So if Anthony wants to sit in the position of governor for a long time and gain some political achievements, he cannot do without the Fox family. No matter how much discord he had before, he could only hold his nose and endure it.
Thinking of this, Gul'dan touched the Hate of Hyperion on his waist with his fingers. He was looking forward to what Anthony's expression would be like when he saw the sword hanging on his waist.
"Father, I will take my leave now." Gul'dan stood up and saluted.
At this moment, a burst of chaotic footsteps came from outside the door, and shouts of killing occurred one after another throughout the castle.
With a bang, the Montreal guard captain burst open the door of the restaurant and howled: "Your Majesty, there is a thorn -"
He choked before he finished speaking.
With a muffled sound, a rapier penetrated his back and stabbed out of his chest. Purple electric light burst out from the rapier, turning into a sizzling electric grid, killing the guards. The length completely envelopes it.
Green smoke rose from the armor, and the guard captain howled miserably, his eyes popped open, his skin was burnt and shriveled, exuding an unpleasant odor, and then he fell to the ground with a pop.
The sword tip was retracted, and a man wearing a black robe appeared.
He is less than 6 feet tall, which is about 1.75 meters. He has a black soft hat with a curly brim that suppresses his naturally curly long brown hair. He wears a black turban that can barely cover the upper half of his face. Under the mask, there is a pair of mustaches with the ends curled into a swirl shape.
Zi——
The two rapiers in the man's hands overlapped, and a burst of dazzling lightning burst out: "Count of Montreal, it is an honor to come to take your life."
"You can call me J. When you meet your ancestors, you can talk if you have anything to say."
"J?" Gul'dan sneered: "What an ignorant and fearless thief."
"Where do you think this is? This is Fox Castle, the territory of the Fox family!"
Fire-colored fighting energy spurted out from his body, and a shadow of a figure that was exactly like him was outlined behind him, and he suddenly pulled out He stabbed the sword at his waist.
“Back off.” Montreal said suddenly.
Gul'dan was stunned: "But father..."
The man who called himself J nodded and praised: "Haha, the earl really has a good vision."
While he was speaking, Gu Erdan suddenly felt a little stiff all over, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Immediately afterwards, surging electric light suddenly surged and exploded from J's body, condensing a virtual shadow of a human figure behind him. The figure's face was blurred, and then suddenly collapsed and spread, flowing to J's body.
Like a thick brush, the disintegrating shadow left traces of light on his body. When the traces of light faded, streaks like small snakes appeared on his face and hands. Like silver lines, pulsing with electric light.
Gul'dan's pupils shrank.
War pattern, fourth-level powerhouse! ?
Montreal did not give in at all. The fire around him swayed from orange to bright white, then to dark blue. It stopped slightly at light green and then turned into misty purple!
The fifth-level flame fighting spirit spread vigorously, and the fighting spirit flashed quietly behind Montreal, and then opened his arms to embrace him, as if it was washed in magma, and dark purple lines flowed on his skin. In the ravine, especially on the forehead, a flame pattern with five flames appeared.
At this moment, J's whole body was covered with electric light, turning into a bolt of lightning and heading towards Gul'dan!
His figure opened a scorch mark burned by the electric light on the carpet, and Gul'dan could clearly see that the slender pile of the carpet was scorched into a red color, and then turned into black carbon filaments.
But Gul'dan couldn't move his body. He could only watch the lightning getting closer and closer. His hair began to stand up one by one due to the lightning, and he could even smell it. The smell of burnt beard!
However, the sword stopped firmly an inch in front of him.
J moved his feet forward and back, still making an assassination gesture, but his body was nailed in place.
A long purple flame whip like a python was wrapped around his waist at some point, and the other end of the whip was firmly held in Montreal's hand.
Montreal raised and flicked his wrist, and the whip suddenly straightened, lifting J's feet off the ground, and slammed them against the wall, creating a human-shaped dent!
J coughed up a mouthful of blood and grinned: "Haha, I originally wanted to kill Gul'dan first to give you a gift, but now it seems that I won't be able to do it unless I kill you."
Montreal's body was full of fighting spirit, and the whip in his hand suddenly tightened, and purple flames burned along J's body.
Guldan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, but Montreal's face remained as dark as water.
Just when his whole body was about to be ignited by the flames, J suddenly opened his mouth, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his mouth, turning into three flying knives and suddenly piercing the air!
One was shattered by Montreal, while the other two violently cut off the long whips made of flames.
"Fifth, fifth level!? How could there be such a young fifth level!?" Gul'dan's eyes widened, and he was extremely panicked.
Although this J's face was hidden, Gul'dan could tell that he would never be over 40 years old.
But the method of condensing elemental weapons with fighting spirit can only be used by fifth-level experts!
The severed flame whip exploded, igniting a thick smoke with purple flames in the room.
Montreal holds a long sword and stares into the depths of the smoke.
His ears suddenly twitched, and he slashed down into the void in front of him. When he raised the sword, there was no movement. When the sword edge fell, he suddenly slashed out a stabbing sword that flew towards him at a fast speed!
The rapier fell to the ground and stuck into the floor. At the same time, another rapier flew out of the smoke. Montreal frowned and turned sideways. The rapier missed him and nailed him. On the wall behind you!
The next moment, an electric light as thick as a water tank and in the shape of a giant python crashed along the ground, swimming and sliding on the ground. Wherever it passed, it eroded out on the hard granite floor. A smooth and round dent!
With the sound of bursting lightning, the giant snake bowed, suddenly bounced up, and bit towards Montreal!
Montreal took a deep breath, and the blade of the sword was engulfed by the purple flames and turned into a torch. He suddenly slashed forward and got stuck on the fangs!
Boom——
The sound of terror swept across the entire room with shock waves. The smoke and dust dispersed, tables and chairs flew and shattered. Purple firelight collided with bright white electric light, creating something out of thin air on the ground. A sun!
J's figure appeared in the giant python. In his hands were two stabbing swords made of pure electric light, which were pressed against the long sword in Montreal's hand!
Although he is also at the fifth level, he is too young after all. Montreal is confident that his fighting spirit is far better than his, but for some reason, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of J's mouth.
Buzz! ! !
The two stabbing swords knocked down by Montreal, one fell behind him and the other fell at his feet. At this time, they suddenly buzzed, trembled and suddenly flew up, carrying a bright light. The electric light suddenly penetrated Montreal's body!
One pierced his back and the other penetrated his side!
“Explosion——” J roared wildly, and the electric light that originally surrounded him in the shape of a giant python dispersed, and flowed away along the two rapiers on Montreal’s body!
Montreal's eyes widened suddenly, the fighting spirit around his body burned like never before, and the war marks on his body seemed to have penetrated deeply into his skin!
The electric light and fire light intertwined and collided, creating a violent explosion!
The aftermath of the explosion knocked J out, but before he could land, the battered ground finally couldn't bear it anymore, cracked, shattered, and then crashed down!
Amidst the ruins, J slowly stood up, the war marks on his body were slightly dim. He raised his arm to wipe away the blood on his lips, and casually knocked over a maid who was so frightened that she ran to him. He looked at the ruins in front of him, chuckled, and then focused his attention on the corner.
There, Gul'dan was holding his chest, breathing heavily.
Falling from the restaurant on the second floor to the lobby on the first floor was not enough to hurt the third-level Gul'dan, but the impact just now was truly imprinted in his heart.
The lightning in J's hands condensed two stabbing swords, kicked away the gravel in front of him, and walked towards Gul'dan step by step.
"...You, who are you!?" Gul'dan screamed: "Who asked you to come!?"
"Master Gul'dan, your memory It's not good. I told you, my name is J." The man smiled softly. : "As for who asked me to come - you can't even think of this, then you really deserve to die."
He slowly took a step forward, but it was this step that made his face change. There was a sudden change, and then he looked to the left and ahead in disbelief.
Right in front of him, at some point, the ground had turned into molten magma, isolating him from Gul'dan.
Following the magma back to its source, we saw Montreal, covered in flames, slowly standing up from the melted boulders.
I don’t know when he had a set of plate armor on his body, with a pure black background, and the lotus-like patterns all turned into a gorgeous purple, burning.
J's brows furrowed tightly: "Molten embers!"
He finally knew why Montreal was able to survive the blow from his own Annihilation Razer!
Standing up from the lava, Montreal reached out and pulled out the two blackened and twisted stabbing swords, and threw them on the ground, letting the lava swallow them up.
A trace of cold sweat flowed from J's forehead. A fifth-level powerhouse combined with a fourth-level enchanted armor is not as simple as 1 plus 1!
Electricity surged from his body, gathered on his feet, and slowly floated into the air, waiting for Montreal to make the slightest move to respond immediately.
Montreal moved, he raised his arms and clenched his fists.
A trace of doubt flashed in J's eyes, but he suddenly saw that the shadow in front of him became clearer than ever before.
He lowered his figure and lunged forward, and there was a bang behind him. He turned around and saw a big flaming hand over 3 meters high slamming down on the place where he was just standing, smashing out a ball. Pool lava!
If you stay here any longer, you will die!
J’s eyes were fixed on the window not far away, and his body was wrapped in lightning and he rushed forward.
A giant flaming palm gathered in front of him. J was already prepared and jumped up suddenly with his feet set back. However, what greeted him was another flaming palm.
Pa——
The electric light surged and the flames exploded. J was swatted to the ground like a fly. Before he could struggle, the ground turned into magma and enveloped him.
Lightning fighting spirit condensed into armor on his body, briefly protecting his life, but J could no longer escape because a giant palm was pressing on him, holding him firmly inside!
Montreal condensed a purple flame sword in his hand and walked towards J step by step, leaving a string of burning footprints.
“Wait!” J breathed heavily, his eyes trembling: “Don’t kill me, I can tell you who sent me!”
Montreal ignored it and let go In the palm of his hand, the purple flame sword turned into a meteor driven by fighting spirit and stabbed J.
He had already guessed who did it, so he couldn't leave anyone alive, not even the body.
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew in the hall, a gust of cold wind.
It scraped close to the ground. Wherever it passed, the magma solidified and the flames were extinguished. Even the flame fighting energy on Montreal's body was weakened.
Everything surrounding J, including the magma, the giant hand, and even the fiery sword that was about to fly, were all wrapped in solid ice.
Da, da, da...
Following the sound of high heels, Gul'dan looked toward the door and froze on the spot.
What a tall woman!
She is seven and a half feet tall, which is about two meters.
On her head, she wore a dark purple pointed mage hat with an extremely wide brim, but it looked appropriate on her head.
Not only is she tall, but she also has big facial features. She has watery eyes on her oval face, bright purple lipstick on her lips, and her pearl earrings sway with her steps.
The soft mage's robe is also pure purple, with a low neckline and an exaggerated scale that looks like a lactating female animal. Even the mithril necklace cannot steal the attention of others.
Under the pure purple mage robe, only the fringe of the skirt that reaches the top of the thigh has a golden pattern, revealing extremely plump legs, and the edges of the black garter fishnet stockings are even more plump. .
The nails on her fair fingers were dyed purple. She was holding a wine bottle in her left hand, and on her right hand...
It was a frightened head!
With a snap, the head was thrown in front of Monterey. It shook a few times and then stopped. Its dead fish-like eyes were fixed on Gul'dan.
Gul'dan's heart suddenly twitched, and unprecedented fear and anger exploded from his chest.
And Montreal bowed down and let out a beast-like roar:
"Sanchi——"
After that, no more human sounds could be made. .
"Q, you are finally here." J breathed a long sigh of relief: "Huh, if it were any later, I would really die!"
"Hmm, I should teach you a lesson." A smooth and greasy voice flowed out from Q's plump lips. The voice made people feel like there was a snake crawling on him: "We agreed to sneak in secretly, who let you Did you create such a big battle?"
J spat: "Come on, if you weren't just obsessed with drinking and couldn't maintain your invisibility, how could I have been exposed so early?"
Q did not argue. He raised his head and drank the last wine in the bottle. He threw the bottle on the ground and smashed it into pieces: "Tears of Angels...well-deserved!"
"Count of Montreal, in your home The wine is still missing..."
Before he finished speaking, Montreal suddenly roared, raised his hands high, took out a purple flame sword, and slashed it at Q's head!
The sword edge cut into her shoulder and emerged from her ribs.
Misty water vapor rose vigorously, and with a bang, Q's upper body hit the ground and turned into broken ice.
"Your Majesty, Earl, it is really rude to attack a lady." Footsteps sounded, and Q Ziji slowly appeared next to him, raised his hand and grabbed a dark purple staff: "Originally I still want you to get together with your family before you die, so now I can only apologize."
She waved her staff and tapped it lightly, creating an invisible crack in the air.
A wind as cold as an ice prison blew up from the crack. A pair of sharp claws made of ice poked out, grabbed the edge of the crack, and then suddenly tore it open on both sides!
A huge triangular head poked out from it. This head alone was as big as a carriage carriage!
Despair began to spread in Montreal's heart, and he knew exactly what this meant.
Elemental rift...
Sixth level mage!
“Run, run—” Montreal roared.
This roar woke Gul'dan out of his fear. He took a deep look at the head on the ground, smashed the window, and jumped out without looking back!
Q's expression darkened, he raised his staff and pointed it at Gul'dan's back. Cold light condensed on the head of the staff, pulling up a thin silver line and chasing after him.
But just when the light was about to fall on Gul'dan's back, a giant flaming hand lifted up the floor and blocked its path.
Galala...
The light fell on it and disappeared immediately, replaced by vigorously growing ice, covering almost half of the hall!
"Don't be stunned." Q glanced at J coldly: "If you can't deal with Montreal, Gul'dan will be left to you."
J jumped up from the ground: "Don't worry..."
After saying that, he was wrapped in lightning and rushed out of the hall.
However, Montreal's figure blocked him like a city wall!
"Amengo!" Q gave the order, and the frost giant that had already struggled half out of the crack suddenly opened its huge mouth and roared out a stream of cold wind!
The smallest water vapor in the air was precipitated at this moment, turning into a cloud of ice shavings that blew towards Montreal with the biting cold wind. The light of the molten embers on his body was suppressed, and ice marks began to spread and grow on Montreal's body. .
Although he was not frozen for a while, his movements obviously could not keep up with J's speed!
But at this moment, he took a deep breath, and the war marks on his body quietly disappeared, turning into a martial spirit floating behind him, and the martial spirit also collapsed at this moment, flowing into a raging fire and clinging to it. On him!
The molten embers on Montreal's body were ignited again. He suddenly dodged and grabbed J's ankle in mid-air, and violently threw it back, leaving a fire mark on the ground.
At this time, in the crack, the frost giant named Amengo finally struggled out. Even though it was lying on the ground with all four legs, it was still more than 5 meters tall.
Its inverted triangular head is like a bison, but the sharp teeth protruding from the corners of its lips show its ferocity. A dark blue ice crystal is embedded on the top of its head, and the horse-like mane on its back is like a frozen flame.
The forelimbs are like human arms, with sharp razor-like crampons; the hind limbs are like horse hooves.
Looking at it as a whole, it looks like an ice sculpture made by children, but its body is covered with smooth cross-sections like processed gems. Each cross-section vaguely reflects the wailing and twisted soul.
The rift did not close, and more small and medium-sized ice elemental creatures began to pour out of it.
Struggled to stand up from the ground, J said sternly: "He is burning his martial spirit!"
Looking at the torch-like Montreal, Q gently shook his head: "Since you know who asked us to come, you should know that resistance is meaningless, and the Fox family's destruction is a foregone conclusion."
"Why bother? What? "
There are not many soul-burning combat techniques on the mainland, but each one will completely burn the user's soul. This is a good thing for the Nords who pursue the soul to return to their ancestors. A fate worse than death.
What responded to her was the cloud-like flame that surged out from the embers of the melting fire.
……
In the distance, in the sky, Gul'dan mounted the hippogryph raised by his family and hurried away to the northwest.
He grasped the hippogryph's reins numbly with both hands.
Today's shock was far beyond his ability to bear. Up to now, his mind was in chaos. His thoughts were as chaotic as a mountain torrent sweeping through the village, and he couldn't find any clear thoughts.
Boom——
The explosion sounded, and Guldan turned around unconsciously. He saw that in the lobby on the first floor of Fox Fort, it was as if hundreds of barrels of kerosene exploded at the same time, and the sticky Purple flames spurted out from the door, from the window, and from the broken walls, carrying away the debris and the corpses of the servants who had no time to escape.
Before Gul'dan's hope could be ignited, the ice spread, freezing the flames, ashes, and burning corpses and rubble inside it, as if imprisoning time within it.
Until the entire castle is wrapped.
Then, nothing changes.
Gul'dan turned his head stupidly and flew into the abyss-like night sky.
