Game of the World Tree - Chapter 895

Chapter 891: Change of plan

“That’s right, Captain Bowen, Captain Wolf is waiting for you in his manor.”

The guard said respectfully.

Wolf is the surname of the Grand Commander of the Seventh Legion and Bowen’s immediate superior.

He is the supreme commander of the Seventh Guards Corps. However, if there is no major event on weekdays, he rarely looks for Bowen, and in most cases he is a hands-off boss.

Bowen nodded slightly.

He looked at his guards implicitly, and after a moment of silence, he said:

“I understand. You wait for me outside. I’ll pack up and go over soon.”

After getting the promise, the captain’s guard saluted and left.

After the other party left, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became serious.

“Captain, has the captain noticed something? Didn’t the Imperial Parliament just hold a big meeting? How could it be possible that there is something to ask us suddenly?”

A guard knight said with some concern.

“Yes, and it’s at this time, it’s already late…”

Another guard knight said the same thing.

Bowen frowned slightly.

He thought about it and shook his head uncertainly:

“I’m not sure, but…it may be that something really happened. The Pope just left, and the city’s security has been unstable these days. The Seventh Guards Corps has always been responsible for assisting in security…”

After thinking for a few seconds, he said,

“But since he is looking for me, I should go there anyway. Otherwise, even if he doesn’t notice anything, he will find something wrong.”

After that, he told the two guards,

“So, after I leave, you should follow me quietly and pay attention to the situation at the manor. If I haven’t come out for more than two hours, or if there is any bad news, then come back and contact Fabian and tell him that our plan may have changed, so that he can change his original plan…”

At this point, Bowen shook his head again and changed his words,

“No…if it really comes to that time, I’m afraid it will be too late. How about this, after I leave, you should split into two groups, one to find Fabian, and the other to keep an eye on the movements at the manor. If there is a problem, send a signal to notify the other side to implement the emergency plan.”

“Emergency plan?”

The guards were slightly stunned.

“I have discussed the specific details with Fabian. You just need to relay them like this. At that time, he will be your highest commander.”

Bowen said in a deep voice.

As he said that, he fumbled in his arms for a moment, took out a magic scroll, and stuffed it into the two people:

“This is a signal magic. Once it is torn, it can be seen clearly within three kilometers.”

“Captain!”

The guards looked worried.

However, Bowen just smiled slightly:

“Don’t worry, this is the worst case. Maybe he really has something to do with me. Don’t worry too much…”

“Calm down. The more critical the moment, the more we have to stay calm and not reveal any flaws.”

After explaining a few words, Bowen left his office.

When they arrived outside the station, the captain’s carriage was already waiting.

Looking at the gorgeous carriage, Bowen took a deep breath and got in.

Unlike Bowen, the captain of the Seventh Guards Corps is a true hereditary aristocrat, a court earl whose ancestors are said to have a blood relationship with the Tres family.

Although the other party also has his own office in the Seventh Legion’s base, he prefers to work in his own Earl’s Manor.

The Earl’s Manor is located in the suburbs of Mannia City, not far from the Seventh Legion’s base.

In the past, the commander of the Seventh Legion also liked to summon his subordinates to the manor to discuss important matters, and even often held dinners to entertain the captains of the various squads in the legion.

However, such invitations are usually made half a day to a day in advance, and usually in the evening. It is rare to be so anxious as today.

This is why Bowen and his guards will be alert instantly.

Sitting in the carriage, Bowen left the Seventh Legion’s base.

The two guards also changed their clothes and split into two groups. One went to find the other subordinates left by Bowen, and the other quietly followed the carriage team.

When Bowen arrived at the gate of the manor, it was noon.

At noon in June, the sun was already a little hot in summer, and the Earl’s Manor was as gorgeous as ever, and many soldiers could be seen patrolling back and forth.

It was no different from the past.

“Master Bowen, we are here.”

The guards of the Grand Guard said respectfully.

Bowen nodded and got off the carriage, and the steward of the manor immediately came up to lead the way for him.

“Master Bowen, the master is waiting for you in the meeting room.”

Entering the gorgeous manor, the Grand Guard’s butler came over and saluted Bowen respectfully.

At the same time, another maid came forward with an empty tray in her hand.

Looking at the tray, Bowen hesitated for a second, but soon followed the old rules and took out his weapon and put it on.

After that, he came to the meeting room in the manor under the guidance of the butler.

When Bowen entered the meeting room, the Grand Guard Wolf of the Seventh Guards Corps was already waiting here.

This was an elegant middle-aged nobleman wearing a wig, and his gorgeous clothes were very exquisite. He was standing in front of the window, admiring the scenery outside the window.

Noticing Bowen, he smiled slightly and turned around:

“Bowen, you are here?”

“Master, what happened?”

Bowen asked respectfully.

As he spoke, he glanced at the conference table and found a stack of parchment in front of his seat.

However, what attracted Bowen was not the parchment, but the two things on the parchment.

One was a golden Mania gold and silver fruit.

The other was a piece of coarse cloth dyed on one side.

At that moment, Bowen’s pupils shrank suddenly, and a warning suddenly rose in his heart.

“Bowen, you don’t look very good… It seems that you are not unfamiliar with the things on this table.”

Count Wolf smiled slightly.

As he spoke, his expression gradually turned cold:

“Bowen, do you have something to tell me?”

“Lord Wolf, I don’t know what you are talking about…”

Bowen concealed the fear in his eyes and said in a deep voice.

“Heh, do you still want to play dumb? Take a look at the list on the table!”

Wolf snorted coldly.

Bowen’s heart jumped.

He subconsciously looked at the parchment on the table, and soon his expression changed drastically.

There were names recorded on it.

To be more precise, it was the names of some senior officers who joined the rebels and planned to rebel together in two days.

Among them, Bowen’s name was also on it.

No! Exposed!

In an instant, Bowen’s heart was in turmoil.

He did not hesitate, and suddenly jumped up, shouted angrily, took out a hidden dagger from the bottom of his feet, and stabbed towards Count Wolf.

However, Count Wolf reacted faster.

He snorted coldly, kicked Bowen in the chest.

Bowen felt a sharp pain, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He flew backwards, hit the wall, and slowly slid down…

At this moment, Bowen felt that the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.

There was no way, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big.

Although he was a knight of the upper gold level, Wolfe was a half-step legend.

The next second, a row of fully armed knights rushed in, obviously prepared, and surrounded Bowen.

Among the knights, there was also a senior officer.

Seeing the senior officer’s appearance, Bowen’s expression changed slightly, and then he was furious:

“Andre! It’s you!”

He recognized that it was a subordinate he trusted and one of the earliest resistance comrades, but he didn’t expect to betray him at the most critical moment!

Hearing Bowen’s rebuke, the senior officer had a complicated expression, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, sighed, and said:

“Sorry… Lord Bowen, I was exposed, but I still have a family, I must consider the safety of my family…”

“You!”

Bowen was furious.

He coughed up blood and struggled to sit up.

But he was soon subdued by the knights.

Count Wolfe looked at him coldly:

“Bowen, tell me your informants and plans, and I can spare your life.”

“Bah! Don’t even think about it! You noble dog!”

Bowen spat out a mouthful of blood foam and cursed.

Wolf’s expression sank.

But soon, he sneered again and said:

“You are quite tough…”

“However, you don’t care about your life. I don’t know if you care about the lives of your wife and children.”

Count Wolf narrowed his eyes and said.

Hearing this, Bowen’s expression changed drastically.

And the next moment, he saw his wife being pushed in roughly by the knights.

“Manina!”

Bowen exclaimed.

He wanted to struggle, but he was already seriously injured and could not move at all under the suppression of the knights.

“Bowen, I will give you a chance. Tell me your plan and accomplices. In view of your friendship for many years of obeying my orders, I can spare you and your family.”

Count Wolf said.

Bowen’s expression changed and he struggled.

However, his wife Manina shouted:

“Bowen! Don’t tell him! The nobles cannot be trusted! Little Bowen has successfully escaped! I am not afraid of death! Don’t care about my safety!”

“Shut up! Block her mouth!”

Count Wolf roared.

After hearing his words, the knights roughly blocked Manina’s mouth with a cloth strip.

“Manina!”

Bowen looked anxious.

The next moment, he saw a flash of determination in his wife’s eyes.

She took advantage of the knight’s unpreparedness and suddenly struggled, rushing towards the long sword in the knight’s hand. With a muffled sound of “puchi”, the long sword pierced her chest.

Blood instantly splattered all over the ground.

“Manina!”

Bowen’s eyes widened, his expression ferocious.

Manina slowly slid down.

She whimpered a few times and couldn’t speak, but her eyes looking at Bowen were full of infinite tenderness.

Bowen understood her eyes.

There was comfort and encouragement in that look.

Then, she closed her eyes heavily.

“Ahhh——!”

Bowen roared, his expression was sad, and he burst out with unprecedented strength, instantly breaking free from the knight’s control.

He knocked a knight to the ground with one punch, then took the opponent’s long sword and stabbed at Wolf.

Wolfe snorted coldly, drew out his long sword, and chopped down Bowen again.

This time, he didn’t hesitate and cut off Bowen’s head with one sword.

As Bowen’s superior for many years, he knew his character very well. His wife was dead and his children had escaped. The deputy commander would never tell the information of the Church of Life again.

The blood spurted out, and until the moment of death, Bowen’s eyes were still full of endless anger.

His head rolled to the ground, his eyes bulged and stared at the sky.

His body slowly fell limp and fell together with his wife’s body.

Count Wolfe took off his bloodstained white gloves, threw them on the ground, and ordered the knights:

“Hang their heads in the legion’s camp to serve as a warning to others!”

“There is no need to wait to find other traitors. First, catch those guys on the list. Bring more knights and don’t let them run away.”

The knights saluted respectfully and dragged the body away.

The senior officer who betrayed Bowen had a complicated expression.

He looked at Count Wolfe in awe, struggled for a moment, and then changed his face to a look of uneasiness:

“Captain… Captain, now, can you let my family go now?”

Wolfe looked at him and said nothing.

The senior officer became more and more uneasy.

He was about to say something else, but suddenly his chest hurt.

Looking down, he saw a sword piercing his chest, stabbed from behind.

It was the knight standing behind him.

He opened his mouth and looked at Wolfe blankly, but what he saw was an indifferent face.

Then, his body softened and he slowly fell to the ground.

In the last second of consciousness, he heard this sentence:

“I hate traitors the most. Hang up this guy’s body too.”

Then, the senior officer knew nothing.

“Captain, what about his family?”

a knight asked.

“Kill them all.”

Wolfe said carelessly.

“By the way, there is also the little tail who followed outside, chop it off as well.”

He added.

…

Time passed by minute by minute.

The guards who stayed at the garrison did not receive any news or the so-called warning signal.

“Gibel, did the commander really say that?”

Fabian, the captain of the legion beside him, frowned and asked.

“Yes, the commander said that if we see a signal, we will activate the emergency plan.”

The guard knight said.

Fabian nodded and paced back and forth in the room.

After a moment, he looked at the time again, his expression became more and more uneasy:

“It’s been too long…”

He struggled for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:

“No, we can’t wait any longer, change the plan now and activate the emergency plan.”

“No more waiting? But… there is no signal yet…”

The guards were stunned.

“No more waiting! It’s been so long, and there is no news. We must be in trouble. I’m afraid it’s a big trouble. We are likely to be exposed. Maybe even Jurgen who followed us has met with an accident.” “

We don’t have time to hesitate, and we don’t have the capital to gamble. We must prepare for the worst in everything!”

Fabian said.

After that, he ordered his guards,

“Jibel, get ready. We will start to implement the emergency plan.”

“But… Lord Fabian, what is the emergency plan?”

The guard was a little confused.

“The plan is exposed, the action is advanced, and the uprising is immediate!”

Fabian said as he took out a golden armband and put it on his right arm.

Then, he took out a new magic scroll from the office, opened the window and tore it open.

Dazzling light bloomed on the scroll.

The next moment, a strong light rose from the sky, accompanied by a piercing long sound.

With a bang, a huge firework bloomed on the sky.

At this moment, even if it was far away in the city of Mannia, it could be seen clearly.

Transition, I admit it’s a bit old-fashioned.
