Release that Witch - Chapter 533

[Chapter 524 Blood Night]

The hall suddenly boiled, the wooden table was overturned to the ground, the bowls and plates containing the dishes made crackling sounds, and the soup dripped everywhere along the cracks in the stone slabs.

It was the first time for the two sons sitting next to the Duke to witness the life-and-death fight at such a close distance. The larger Kor drew his sword in front of his father, but his posture was extremely stiff, completely devoid of the leisurely composure of his usual training; Seven-year-old Lance simply shrank behind the chair.

Calvin sighed secretly. Without Edith, the two of them might not have looked so unbearable, but compared to the Pearl of the Northland, the gap would be huge. Perhaps even they themselves had resigned themselves to their fate and lost their lives. Courage to chase.

The Duke looked towards the center of the banquet hall, and the eldest daughter had already set her sights on Ed Hoss, the strongest player in the field.

She first took a bottle of ale and threw it at the opponent, forcing him to turn around, then jumped up, jumped onto a long wooden table, and swung her sword at him condescendingly, with swift movements like a civet in the snow.

Ed hastily blocked, and a little bit of fire burst out from where the blades collided.

Within a few breaths, Edith had already swung five or six swords, and there was a series of jingling sounds, like the approaching footsteps of death, but Ed showed an astonishing momentum at the critical moment, defusing all the attacks.

The two fought inextricably around the long table, and several knights of the Hoss family had fallen from the sword, but instead of retreating, he became more and more courageous as he fought.

Calvin couldn’t help but worry.

Edith had already fought a big battle before, and the blood stains on her armor proved that even if she was not injured, her physical strength must have been consumed a lot. In addition, women are naturally weak in terms of strength, so it is obviously not good for her to fight like this.

But there was no trace of fear on Edith’s face.

Her eyes were fixed on the other party, her bright eyes were like twinkling stars, and she could see the sweat rising from her tip every time she fencing.

Although her strength gradually weakened, she still chose to overwhelm her opponent with impenetrable attacks.

Ed seems to have noticed this too, he roared, and raised his sword to fight back in a desperate situation. Beidi Mingzhu obviously didn’t want to exchange blood for blood, so he withdrew his sword to block back.

The power gap finally showed the result. Edith’s long sword was shaken away, her body lost her balance, and fell off the long table!

The Duke’s heart instantly rose to his throat, “Damn it! Go help her—”

But even the closest guards can hardly reach out – everything is happening too fast.

Edith did not kill herself as soon as she landed, but cut off the legs of the long table with a horizontal cut. At this time, Ed Hoss was jumping onto the long table, raising his hands high, trying to use a stance The powerful and heavy slash resulted in the opponent’s life, and he didn’t notice at all that the place where the former fell was right on the edge of the long table.

The scene that stunned Calvin appeared. The table that lost one foot made the knight completely lose his balance. If it was just the tabletop overturning, he might be able to jump away easily, but at that moment, all the strength of his whole body was concentrated on the arm , both feet are fixed on the table like nails, and the body leans forward, which is a standard chopping action!

I saw Ed fell down in the posture of a dog chewing mud, his head hit the floor heavily, and even he could hear the dull sound clearly.

There will be no chance of turning back.

Edith jumped onto Ed’s back, took out the dagger from her waist, and stabbed it straight into Ed’s neck. With her hands twisting, the knight’s body twitched like a stroke.

Is this… a coincidence?

No… The Duke realized that the moment he jumped onto the long table, he had already fallen into the trap set by Edith.

From the beginning when he was hit by the opponent occupying the high ground to regaining the high ground, he saw the hope of turning defeat into victory in his heart, and the advantages he accumulated in the strength competitions made him regard violent attacks as the best way to determine the victory. ——The opponent’s weaker and weaker resistance boosted Ed’s confidence, so the last blow was completely exerted to the limit. According to the normal competition, Edith would never be able to block this blow.

But this also made him completely lose the opportunity to adjust his balance.

In the face of a gap of three times the number of their own, the resistance of the two nobles did not last long. Half a quarter of an hour later, the banquet hall became quiet again.

The fire was still burning quietly, but there was a smell of blood in the wanton flowing wine.

The Duke stepped down from the main seat and looked around, while the minor nobles lowered their heads one after another, no one dared to look at him.

“Earl Lista and Earl Howth attempted to rebel against King Wimbledon, and they have been sanctioned. Now you have a chance to choose. Do you obey the two corpses on the ground, or serve the new king?”

This time the answers were uniform, and there was no other noise.

…

“That’s all right?” The study wiped the blood on his daughter’s forehead with a handkerchief, “Will His Majesty Roland Wimbledon accept us?”

“You still called him a traitor yesterday,” Edith joked, “You decided to surrender to him so soon?”

“Isn’t that what you said, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com?” The duke glared at her, “Anyway, we might as well surrender as soon as possible, if we can’t win His Majesty’s trust, we will become public enemies of the nobles!”

The direct execution of two nobles without a trial by the arbitration tribunal has broken the basic bottom line for nobles to fight.

If it weren’t for the frequent wars in Graycastle in the past two years, the change of lords in various places, and Timothy as an example, he would never dare to do as Edith said.

“I have no idea.”

“What… what?” The Duke’s heart trembled, and he almost dropped his handkerchief on the ground, “You don’t know?”

“Yeah, we can only try our best to show our sincerity, but it is still the fourth prince himself who decides the fate of the Northland. Don’t get me wrong about this, father.” Edith said casually, “He still may Sending your own cronies to take over the Northland, your title may be cut off. This is not surprising. I only know that if you don’t try, the Kant family will have no chance at all. Compared with the doomed Destroyed, now we at least have the possibility to continue.”

Calvin was stunned for a long time before he sat down on the chair sullenly. He knew that his daughter was right, but such an answer still made him hard to accept.

He didn’t want to lose his dukedom.

Edith laughed suddenly, “Don’t be discouraged, father, you have to take advantage of the situation tomorrow morning to recover the mansions and fiefdoms of the two earls. Besides, what will happen to this matter depends to a large extent. It depends on how much ability the defector can show.” She paused, “Sincerity is the ticket for our negotiation, and ability can determine the outcome of the negotiation.”

Calvin frowned, “You mean…”

“I will escort these two heads to the capital, father,” she smiled, “please let me be your envoy.” 8
