That's very badass

Chapter 118 Controlling the Earl of Carney

Early the next morning, Fox got up early and mobilized some soldiers from other strongholds to help.

Except for the front-line fortress and Haiyan stronghold that cannot reduce the garrison, the soldiers in other strongholds have been drawn by half of the soldiers.

At the same time, Fox also visited the Tano knights of the Galewind Legion, and asked them to cooperate with the armored knights to scout around the Earl's territory and block the information about their army's dispatch.

And put on the appearance of a big battle, used to suppress those who try to do wrong after the army leaves.

Considering the battle experienced last night, the enemy obviously planned to wipe out all the soldiers of the Galewind Legion, Tano Knight agreed to Fox's request without hesitation.

Together with the remaining soldiers, they formed a 2000-strong army, defending the city under the command of Mirlon, and carried out a preliminary mobilization of civilians.

And the civilians acted quickly after what happened last time.

This seems to have become a tradition of theirs, not to mention the good or bad, but it has indeed cultivated the spirit of the common people to dare to resist.

Fox led an army of 3000 people, as well as the captive knights and Adnan's body, and set foot on the road to the Earl of Carney.

Accompanying him is his wife, Aveline, who will rule the entire Earl of Kearny's territory as the mistress after she takes full control of the Kearney Territory.

Such things are very common in this world, and at the same time, as a commander, he has gained a certain amount of growth.

And he will continue to return to the territory, preside over everything in Calradia, recruit soldiers for training, and manage the development of the territory.

The main purpose of his trip was to persuade them to surrender, but without sufficient force, it would only become a joke. The soldiers of the Carney family obviously would not surrender so easily.

Therefore, he planned to go to the city he had been in business for 20 years first, and Bellam City was the first to recruit those soldiers, and he still had a certain degree of certainty about this.

This will leave them with a fulcrum of buffer, regardless of the subsequent outcome, he has to make the best plans first.

Combining their own identities, raiding, or forcing the soldiers of Carney City to surrender.

Of course, the first thing to do is to control the family members in the city, otherwise they won't give up the opportunity.

Of course, this is just his plan, it may be more troublesome, or it may be completed with a simple walk.

But he knew that this matter had to be fast and stealthy enough, since they didn't have enough horses to ride.

Therefore, this matter still needs the help of Viscount Whitnet.

Their army soon left the Evernight Forest and arrived at the territory of Viscount Whinette.

Viscount Whitnet's soldiers quickly reported the news, and it directly appeared on Viscount Whitnet's desk.

Viscount Whitnet wanted to send Knight Jeremy, who had befriended them, to find out what they wanted, but after the guard told him that Knight Jeremy had left with the army of the kingdom.

Only then did Viscount Whinette realize that he was sweating profusely and obviously upset. The previous confrontation left a deep impression on him.

He immediately forced himself to calm down, and only then remembered that the Whitnet family was a vassal of the Duke of Osborne, and they had already signed a peace treaty.

They must not attack their own territory, so they changed their clothes and personally led some knights to meet them.
The three thousand soldiers led by Fox all looked at him, and Viscount Whinette felt that her heartbeat was about to stop.

He immediately slowed down and slowly approached the army.

Seeing Viscount Whitnet who had already arrived in front of him, Fox said before he could ask, "Viscount Whitnet, you came just in time, and I still need your help with some things."

"As long as I can, I will help."

Faced with Fox's request, Viscount Whitnet cautiously agreed, and finally couldn't help being curious, and asked where they were planning to go on this trip.

Fox was waiting for him here, and immediately told him what Adnan had done.

After listening to Fox's answer, Viscount Whitnet felt completely stupid.

Only then did he know that Fox standing in front of him was actually the heir of the Kearney family, and not only that, he was planning to recover the Earl of Kearney during his trip.

Thinking of the soldiers of the Carney family who just crossed the border yesterday, they wiped out 4000 people in one night.

Because there are iron mines in the Earl of Carney, all of them are in armor, and they are soldiers of the Carney family, which is known as the elite of the northern border.

Moreover, when Fox and the others were enlisted in the kingdom, they responded to the call and dispatched a total of [-] soldiers.

And now, after defeating Earl Carney, they still have [-] troops to go to war. Considering the soldiers left in the territory, Viscount Whitnet immediately gasped.

This made him somewhat fortunate that he had the foresight to reconcile with Count Roland early, and for this reason he also sent his daughter to lead the army and follow Count Roland on the expedition.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Fox's next words made him feel even more terrified.

"Considering that you allowed Adnan Carney to cross the border without warning us, I have reason to suspect that you are his accomplices.

For this reason we will reserve the right to take revenge on you.

So, would you like to do us a favor?To prove that you and Adnan Carney are not in the same league. "

In the most flat tone, Fox uttered far-fetched reasons and shocking words.

Facing his gaze, Viscount Whitnet forced himself to calm down, and began to think about what they needed to do.

Considering the environment he was in at this time, he still knew some of the captured knights of the Carney family, so he rationally did not say that Adnan had Duke Osborne's official document.

Because he knew that Adnan's attack on Roland's territory had become a fact, he agreed to Earl Carney's request.

Yes, Viscount Whitnet has changed his name to Fox as Earl of Kearney. If Duke Osborne was not his suzerain, he would have wanted to serve Earl Rowland instead.

He took the lead in letting the knights issue an order to blockade the entire Viscounty, and then followed their team as a witness on the road to Carney.

This was Fox's purpose. He first needed a witness, because Earl Carney did not tell others when he attacked the territory, and the knights alone were not enough.

Because they are only captives, words are not enough to win people's trust.

Considering the time, he chose Viscount Whitnet, and also to prevent the news from being sent back to the territory prematurely, so that those family members can take corresponding precautions.

Such a double intelligence blockade can at least buy them more time.

They stayed at night all the way and hid in the forest during the day. It took them 3 days to appear in front of Bellam City in an unexpected situation.

Looking at the city in front of her, Evelyn gently held Fox's hand, her eyes revealing a relationship. She was a little worried that Fox would be hurt by the scene and think of his mother.

Fox didn't speak, just nodded to her, indicating that he didn't have any problems.

Seeing this, Evelyn let go of her hand, took out her sword and shield, and was ready to fight.

The soldiers on the city wall saw their army from a distance, but there were not many soldiers, only about 1000.

This made them a little nervous.The city immediately entered a state of martial law and closed its gates.

"I am Burton Kearney, your lord, the only surviving male of the immediate line of the Kearneys, and I am sure you all know me and what I am.

In disregard of the kingdom's laws, Adnan Kani brazenly invaded his territory after Lord Roland responded to His Majesty's call, and died in battle.

Considering that you don't know about this matter, you don't need to worry about any punishment. As a lord, I certainly have the right to consider you as rebels.

These are the knights who invaded and captured with him, I think you are more familiar with them, and they will tell you how it is.

Now I need you to open the gates and come under my command.

The ruling power of the Carney family can only be obtained by the direct line.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Viscount Whitnet by my side. "

Fox's words and Viscount Whinette's confirmation, as well as the captured knights below the city, caused the soldiers on the city wall to fall into chaos.

It wasn't until Knight Millers came out of the crowd that he first confirmed the identity of Burton Carney, and then he spoke:
"I need to confirm the fact that Lord Adnan is dead, otherwise we are participating in a rebellion. I hope you can understand, Lord Burton."

"Exactly, he's here, embalmed and I'm about to take him back to the family vault for burial."

For Millers Knight's words, Fox agreed very much, and all of this was within his expectations.

Knight Millers was lowered from the hanging basket by the soldiers. He came directly to the flag of the Carney family and raised the flag, confirming that this was indeed the case.

He immediately knelt down on one knee, expressing his agreement with Burton Carney's notice, and then under his order, the city gate was opened, and Bellam City welcomed back the ruler who had been absent for only one year.

It's just that at this time, he is no longer the second son under the protection of his mother, but has returned here as the new Earl of Carney.

They did not rest, but chose to set off immediately, leaving a thousand imperial soldiers to maintain law and order. As for the original soldiers, they were disarmed and put under guard.

Since they did not take part in the rebellion, they will be released after Fox takes full control of the territory.

Fox led the remaining 2000 people and continued towards Carney City.

He will not leave until he takes control of the Earl of Carney today and guards it for a period of time to replenish the territory with some soldiers.

That night they arrived not far from Kani City, but they were not in a hurry to take action. Instead, they hid in a forest for repairs and sent soldiers to block the forest.

All those who enter will be temporarily controlled, and they can only wait to be released after the war.

Unlike Bellam City, this city is the headquarters of the Carney family, so there are many offshoot members of the family living in it.

After learning of Adnan Kani's death, they will inevitably choose to control the city, and then under the banner of Farouk Kani (Adnan's heir), they will first resolve their own variable.

Then, taking advantage of Farouk's absence, a battle for the title was launched, resulting in established facts.

That was not what Fox wanted to see, so he led some soldiers and followed his memory to open the family's secret escape route. His mother told him about this. The reason was of course his ugly face.

They were quietly waiting at the door of the secret passage, waiting for enough air to pour into the secret passage.

This is also the reason why there is still a forest not far outside the city. Looking at the dark passage, Fox showed a sneer.

And after Farouk left with the army of the kingdom, he was the only one in Kani who knew that there were no guards there, and they could go directly to the main castle through there.

Although there are still guards on the periphery, as long as they enter the town, these are nothing.

In order to prevent accidents, Fox took off his mask and held his shield to lead the way, followed by Aveline with the soldiers.

Even if the situation changes now, he can still use his identity to hold them back.

Because the only people who know about this secret path are the direct line, they will first confirm their identities instead of directly closing the exit.

As Fox pushed away the cover of the secret passage, he appeared in a hidden room in the main castle.

They didn't find any guards, and there was a partition between here and the outside, and the room was filled with soldiers.

Fox looked at the stone gate in front of him, and several soldiers pushed open a stone gate together. Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of rubbing stones, the stone gate was slowly pushed open.

Considering the need to escape, it is bound to be deprecated here too.Therefore, the design here requires a lot of strength to open the stone gate, which is also designed to prevent it from being accidentally pushed open by others.

Appearing in front of them was a maid who was cleaning. Fox just put his finger between his lips to signal her to silence, and the maid subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands.

Thanks to Adnan's harsh personality, the maids all formed a subconscious reaction.

Aveline stepped forward, covered her mouth before she could react, and tied her up after warning her.

As more of them filled the room again, they opened the door, and they continued to increase their numbers until they were discovered.

They appeared in the main castle like magic soldiers descending from the sky. Although the loyal soldiers rang the bell for enemy attack, the soldiers rushed towards the city wall, which allowed them to quickly control those family members.

After a brief fight, and then after Fox identified himself, the soldiers had no reason to fight for whom.

Fox did have the possibility of inheriting the Carney Territory, so they had no choice but to surrender, and they took control of the city.

Only then did he read out their punishment in front of everyone, and deprived them of their surnames on the charge of rebellion.

Unlike Adnan's expelling him, there was no legal support, but he legally deprived them of the possibility of inheriting the territory on the charge of rebellion.

But Fox did not let their ideas go and put them all under house arrest.

After controlling these family members, the remaining villages and castles can be taken with just a tool man, Viscount Whitnet, after a few readings.

Only then did he bring Adnan's body to the family grave, and after burying him, he fell into a deep sleep.
