The Emerald Tower

Chapter 220 Dilemma? Superior

Just like what Baron Tire said, "Who else can be around there besides him?" ’, Dean never suspected anyone else

First of all, ordinary business opponents would not dare to compete with a businessman with an aristocratic background like Old Ander, let alone intercept him.

Secondly, Old Ander is a very prudent person. The caravan has not only buddies, but also guards. Dean has observed those guards. Although they are not the best, they are better than ordinary people. The robbers, there is no problem.

Finally, and most importantly.

Since those accompanying barbarians were sent out to protect their 'own food', their strength is definitely not weak.

With guards and barbarians accompanying them, unless such a team encounters a large number of bandits deep in the snowy forest, nothing will happen at all.

Therefore, apart from the Baron de Fendi, Dean could not think of a second suspect.

What's more, the conflict between the other party and Baron Till, as well as the malice towards him, made this suspicion even more confirmed!

"De Fendi, you must be very proud now, so...you should be proud for a while, after all, this is your last time!" Dean had a final decision in his heart, and then he looked at Baron Till and said: "Lord Baron, I'll leave this to you first. I need to deal with the barbarians, as well as the casualties of those caravan buddies and guards. Please help me count them!"

"Leave it to me!"

Baron Till promised.

Dean nodded, turned around and left the house, out of Tyre. Go straight to the station of your knight order

"Siron, Chad, you two come with me! Ike, Maher. You stay and help Huck manage..."

As soon as Dean entered the Knights. They arranged it quickly; and when he saw Focia coming out, Dean said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Focia, something happened that I didn't expect, your class may be postponed A few days; however, I will pay my salary!"

Phucia nodded, without saying anything, turned and returned to her room.

And after Dean left the Knights' resident. When heading towards Buqie's camp, 'White Rose' followed

"Can you tell me what happened?"

The archduke's sword master who was walking side by side with Dean asked.

"My store's caravan was attacked, and many people were killed or injured. Barbarians were also involved. I need to get rid of them before the situation gets worse!"

Dean said truthfully.

After all, it's hard to hide such a thing from someone with a heart; even, Dean went to Buqie's stockade non-stop to inform Buqie of the news one step ahead.

Actively inform, passively informed.

These are definitely two different concepts. Dean naturally knew the difference.

"You seem to know who the murderer is?"

The archduke's swordsman turned his head to look at Dean's cold side face at the moment, and the form of the sentence was a question. But there was affirmation in his tone.

"Well, that Baron de Fendi!"

Dean nodded, still not hiding anything.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing that is almost well known.

"So, what are you going to do?"

The archduke's swordsman quickly stepped in front of Dean, and asked solemnly.

"Isn't it obvious that I'm heading for the barbarian camp now?"

Dean looked at each other and replied.

"Dean, you can't do this... This will destroy your previous reputation and completely destroy the emerald nobles. They can't accept a emerald man who is close to the barbarians, even if he has great potential; therefore, Now you must go back!"

The archduke's sword master directly advised Dean.

"Go back? Then, wait for the barbarians to go up to the door to ask the teacher? Isn't this an insult to my reputation?"

With a chuckle, Dean asked back.

"At least, it's better than you taking the initiative to go. Have you ever thought about it? When the barbarians get such news, with their characters and traditions, it will definitely be a bloody war. You know, such a war will not be avoided! And now you still have the opportunity to choose to use your long sword to defend your own honor in battle... At least, you are innocent, this looting is not what you want to see !"

"Where's Defendi? Where's the guy who started everything?"

With a questioning tone, Dean looked at the archduke's swordsman.

"This matter, the Grand Duke will personally come forward! Go back, Dean!"

The archduke's sword master assured Dean, and persuaded him again.

"I trust you, and I trust the Grand Duke, but when I think that I need to stand in the same camp as a guy like De Fendi in the face of the barbarians who are asking questions, I feel that I have not only given up my honor, but also my dignity. ...Forgive me for not agreeing, I have to go to the barbarian camp, because if I take the initiative to go, there is still a slight possibility that this war will not break out, and if I don't go, this war will definitely break out!"

After finishing speaking, Dean gave a slight salute to the archduke's swordsman, and then led his two subordinates around the archduke's swordsman and walked quickly.

Seeing Dean striding forward, the archduke's swordsman not only shook his head, but a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he still followed in the next moment. Even though Dean didn't listen to her persuasion, it doesn't mean that She could give up Dean's comfort.

Dean looked at the 'White Rose' walking side by side with him again, and didn't say much.

Naturally, Dean couldn't be disgusted with this kind-hearted archduke swordsman, just because, at this moment, Dean's heart is spinning rapidly

Just like what the archduke swordsman said.

According to the character and tradition of the barbarians, after learning about such a thing, a 'war' will break out in ten out of ten. They need to search for the murderer, but it doesn't matter whether it's Tilling or Zhanling. It is impossible for the Defendi Territory to allow large-scale barbarians to enter their territory.

And in the eyes of the barbarians, this is an expression of guilty conscience. It must be thought that these three nobles played tricks. Therefore, it will only intensify the contradiction.

Following this, more barbarians will appear, and the Marquis of Vauban cannot sit idly by.

When more and more people from both sides gather together, only a small spark is needed to detonate this 'war'!

Regardless of whether the Jade side wins or loses, he will. The head of the Knights of Dean Kefeicharan, the newly promoted Lord, will be cast aside.

Even if he made outstanding feats in the war, people would think that this was a premeditated trap specially set up for the purpose of gaining an official title. That Baron de Fendi would never be stingy in spreading such rumors, but People who lost their homes and relatives in the war will definitely listen to such rumors.

In his previous life, Dean, who had experienced wars, understood such methods very well, although the object of controversy last time was the Emerald Duke. not him.

As for failing?

Na Dean is even more hopeless, no matter how good the private relationship is. It will also be sent to the barbarians by the Marquis of Vauban as a scapegoat to appease the anger of the barbarians.

And this is undoubtedly what Baron Defendi is very happy to see.

As for your own losses?

Undoubtedly, Baron Defendi simply gave up.

In other words, it was precisely because of such giving up that Dean fell into such a dilemma

"When the other party ignores their own identity, territory, and even willing to bet on these, just a simple attack makes me feel clumsy... Moreover, the other party has naturally considered my reckless move. Go to catch him, the murderer, so you must be prepared. If I go, I will definitely be charged with a bigger crime and become irreparable in Jadeite!"

After understanding the opponent's 'bottom line', some unreasonable explanations naturally became reasonable, and even Dean could see clearly some of the opponent's follow-up arrangements.

But, obviously, it's a bit late!

The opponent has already started to act!

As for anticipating it in advance?

Dean has never thought of such a thing, a nobleman willing to give up his territory?

In fact, most of the nobles he met who surrendered in the last life, apart from being greedy for life and fear of death, were just to defend the territory left by their ancestors.

‘Surrender, the title and territory will not change! '

The conditions given by Xidi were not unfavorable at the time.

"It's already a step too late, we must catch up with this step, otherwise..."

Dean thought of the 'Blood Moon War' again!

If there really was a war with the barbarians in Vauban County, even if it was not suitable for sending troops in winter, Xiti would probably send troops.

At that time, the 'Blood Moon War' will undoubtedly be advanced.

And Jade may face a more critical situation because, apart from Xiti, there are barbarians who are supposed to be allies, and even the Saiander Fortress, which was defended by Jade people in the previous life, has not been completed in a real sense!

There was absolutely no way Dean would allow this to happen.

Clenching his fist violently, Dean's footsteps became even faster.

The archduke's swordsman sighed again and followed.

Sirenchard, who was behind Dean, followed without saying a word. Although the two young people did not understand most of the things, based on the tone of their leader, they obviously guessed the situation. serious.

Along the way, the four of them walked forward almost without saying a word.

Originally, it took almost a day to ride a horse to feel Buqie’s stockade. Four people had already appeared there when the sun went down; .

For this, Siren and Chad blushed.

Especially Xi Lun, who thought he should be very strong, lowered his head even more, he was too embarrassed to say anything.

Dean patted the shoulders of the two subordinates, and after comforting each other in the simplest way, he quickly walked into the stockade where more important things were waiting for him.
