Chapter 691: The Fall of the Empire
Tim, Phil and other knights were really eye-opening. Bai Xiaowen's strength is much stronger than that of the Remnant War. This kind of war with thousands of people can go straight to Huanglong, capture and kill the enemy's leader, and force the enemy's brigade to surrender.
Also eye-opening was Han Xu. He has only seen Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's performance in the league, but it is the first time he has shown their power in the spirit world. Having such a teammate around always makes people feel very at ease.
City Lord's Mansion.
"Wow!"
A basin of cold water was poured down, and Baron Standing woke up with a jolt.
The first thing I felt when I woke up was pain, waves of severe pain from broken arms came, and cold sweat oozed from Baron Standing's forehead.
"Tell me, where is Cecilia now? Why is Black Rock City suddenly attacking White Rock City?"
A demonic voice sounded, and Baron Standing suddenly raised his head.
Sitting on the throne of the city lord, Bai Xiaowen didn't mind Baron Standing's cannibalistic eyes at all, and said coldly: "If I remember correctly, the empire should have corresponding laws that prohibit lords from invading occupied territories by violence. You dare to do this, what happened?"
Baron Standing gritted his teeth and fell silent.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I don't have time to waste with you. Since you don't tell me, let Butler Harold tell me."
Harold on the side, his fat face was pale, but he shook his head desperately: "I won't say it! I won't betray the Iron Thorn family!"
Baron Standing was a little excited: "Harold, the Ironthorn family will remember your loyalty."
"It was a touching scene, but it's a pity that we are enemies."
Bai Xiaowen walked off the throne slowly and came to Harold: "I'll ask again, will you tell me?"
Harold, who had just been motivated, slapped his neck: "You kill me!"
"It's not that easy to want to die."
Bai Xiaowen snorted softly, but his strike was precise and ruthless, with two crackling sounds, Harold's arms were abruptly broken! Bai Sensen's bone stubble was exposed, blood was flowing, Harold screamed in pain, and almost passed out.
However, when Harold was in a trance, the light of the charm in Bai Xiaowen's palm flickered, switched to the spell of confusion, and the electricity shot into Harold's eyebrows.
"The ratio of the strength of the enemy to us is 0.128:1, and the confusion judgment of the heart-confusing charm is successful! Harold, the housekeeper of the Ironthorn family in Black Rock City in the Northland, has been confused."
Bai Xiaowen quickly activated his telepathic ability, read through all of Harold's memory fragments, closed his eyes and meditated.
Harold was in a very strange state. After being hit by the Bewildering Charm, he lowered his head and said nothing. Even his twisted and bleeding arms were casually dropped, and the screams stopped abruptly.
Baron Standing said angrily: "You beast, how dare you kill Harold!"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly opened his eyes.
"So it turns out that the Plantagenet Empire has had such a big change..."
"What happened?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen looked around at several teammates, and said, "Just a month ago, the Emperor of the Plantagenet Empire died. Logically speaking, Prince Nicholas should inherit the throne, but his uncle launched a coup and got Supported by a group of conservative nobles. The two sides are currently in a fierce battle, and it is not clear who the throne will be."
Qiao Rui nodded and said: "If the two sides are close in strength, even if one side wins, it will suffer a great loss of vitality and lose its influence over the major lords, especially the lords of the border lands."
Li Shuyi suddenly said: "No wonder the Tiethorn family dared to violate the laws of the empire and take the lead against Baishi. As long as the established facts are established, the new emperor of the empire will not be able to control him."
"The news about the White Rock collar is still too closed. If Cecilia knew about the civil strife in the Plantagenet Empire, she would probably be a little more vigilant about the seizure of the caravan, and would not easily rush to the Black Rock Fortress to negotiate." Bai Xiaowen said.
"How is Cecilia now?" Li Shuyi asked.
"Cecilia was ambushed by the Ironthorn army. But the good news is,
Cecilia has rich combat experience, and has detected the clues of the ambush in advance, and defended against the danger in Cold Spring Valley, without completely falling into the enemy's trap and being defeated. As of last night, before the Black Rock Fortress sent troops, Cecilia continued to resist. " Bai Xiaowen said.
"That's good, let's go help her quickly. This time, we will teach the Tiethorn family in the Black Rock Fortress an unforgettable lesson." Li Shuyi said, waving her small fist.
Several people were discussing, completely ignoring Baron Standing, whose mouth was getting wider and wider.
"...You guys, how do you know this? I obviously didn't say anything!"
Bai Xiaowen didn't bother to pay attention to Baron Standing, so he called the knight Phil and asked him to take Baron Standing into prison and keep him under close guard.
"Xiaowen, what are you doing with him? Just click, maybe there is a treasure chest." Li Shuyi showed her true color as a money fan.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "He is only an elite, and he can't make waves with broken arms. This baron may still be useful in the future. Why don't you keep it and wait until the matter is completely resolved before considering whether to kill him."
Qiao Rui agreed with Bai Xiaowen's opinion very much: "That's right. Anyway, it's easy to kill him, but it's just a one-shot thing."
The honest Han Xu on the side shrank his neck... Why are the beauties around the captain more fierce than the other?
Baron Standing had just been taken down when a thin figure with a head wider than his shoulders rushed in all the way.
"BOSS! I finally saw you! This world is too dangerous, I want to go back to the South Island!"
Dr. Zombie almost hugged Bai Xiaowen's thigh and cried.
"Okay...you are already a dead person, it's okay to die one or two more times, and I can bring you back to life in 12 hours." Bai Xiaowen said irresponsibly.
"But for me, death will lose memory! My memory is precious wealth!" Dr. Zombie emphasized.
"Hmm... Speaking of which, when I left last time, what was the progress of the research I asked you to do?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Dr. Zombie played dumb: "What research?"
Bai Xiaowen snapped his fingers: "Delifa!"
The Dementor Banshee appeared, this time with a whip in her hand, looking at Dr. Zombie with a malicious smile.
Dr. Zombie raised his hand and surrendered: "BOSS, I know! It's a research on making undead creatures self-aware... This topic is really too difficult, and I don't have any idea until now... I still need more information, such as alchemy Master's research notes!"
"Forget it, let's put that topic aside for now," Bai Xiaowen said, "Here is something for you, let's study how to use it on the butcher first. I warn you, don't break it!" He took out the flesh and devoured it patient's stomach pouch.
"Yes, BOSS!" Dr. Zombie heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Bai Xiaowen didn't ask about the progress of the project.
