Looking at Ashley in front of him, Gruel had a smile on his face, as if he was as happy as he had picked up a lot of gold coins: "It doesn't need many, just a few dozen people is enough."

"His Royal Highness Gruul is out." Ashley's face was ugly, but at this point, he forcefully forced a smile, looked at him firmly, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Just send someone to escort Your Highness is only going to the capital, it is my honor."

"As His Highness, dozens of people are not enough. I am willing to send two hundred knights to escort His Highness all the way to Tam City." He said, although his heart was gloomy, but his face was still full of smiles.

In a short period of time, he has already figured out the cause and effect, as well as all the possibilities now.

There was no doubt that the death of the three knights in his castle had left him no choice.

He couldn't explain to the people behind the three knights.

Without witnesses, the people behind the three knights would not believe his explanation, they would only think that he had taken refuge with Gruul, and then together with Gruul, killed the three knights.

Even if the other party believed him, the family behind the three knights would not choose to let him go.

Two bronze knights, one silver knight, behind each of these knights must have their own family and power, in order to cultivate these people.

Now, the knights cultivated by these families just died in his castle of Viscount Ashley. Even if His Highness knew his innocence in his heart, he must give an explanation to the family behind the three knights, and take He was the scapegoat.

So at this moment, he has no choice.

"Then I would like to thank Viscount Ashley for his generosity."

In front of him, listening to Viscount Ashley's words, Gruel showed a smile on his face, and seemed very satisfied with Viscount Ashley's final statement.

"Then, as a gift, these few things are for you."

He smiled, showing a mouthful of neat teeth, and then he personally stepped forward, put down the three wooden boxes, and then turned and left with Adier beside him.

Beside him, looking at Viscount Ashley lightly, Adiel shook his head secretly, then followed Gruel and left directly.

After they left, Viscount Ashley shook his hands, looked at the three wooden boxes in front of him, smelled the bloody smell coming from above, took a deep breath, and then slowly stepped forward, Open the three wooden boxes.

A burst of strong bloody smell suddenly rose up, hitting Viscount Ashley's mouth and nose in an instant, making his face extremely ugly.

In front of him, among the three wooden boxes in front of him, there were three vivid human heads.

On the head, blood was flowing, and the ferocious and disbelieving expression on his face had frozen, as if he couldn't believe that he died just like that.

Looking at the three heads, it took a long time for Viscount Ashley to recover, and gently closed the three wooden boxes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and slumped on the wooden chair as if he had lost all his strength.

Outside the door, on the way back to his room, Gruel and the others were walking on the road.

"Yasuo, this time, thanks to your idea."

Walking on the narrow road, Gruul still had some lingering fears when he thought about the scene when he beheaded the three knights.

After meeting with Viscount Ashley before, and formally proposing the conditions for the other party to escort him back to the capital, Gruul fell into entanglement, and was a little worried that Viscount Ashley would not give in.

After all, compared to the one instructing the other party, he has too few bargaining chips at the moment, and the following of a mere silver knight doesn't mean anything.

The Carlo area fell, and the southern lords who originally supported him suffered heavy losses, which meant that the strength that originally supported him was greatly weakened.

When the lords saw this situation, even the lords who originally supported him might have concerns.

That was the case with Viscount Ashley.

As Gruel's father-in-law to some extent, this Viscount Ashley also supported Gruel at the beginning.But when the southern fortress fell and Gruul was defeated, his attitude immediately became ambiguous, and a group of knights from other forces gathered around him to attack him.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to get the other party to fall into his arms again.

Adier was naturally aware of his mood and worries, but he was also a little impatient.

For Adil, this level of confrontation is really a bit boring, so he simply came up with an idea directly.

By beheading the knights sent by other princes directly and planting them directly on the head of Viscount Ashley, there is a high degree of confidence in forcing the opponent to submit.

Strictly speaking, this plan is not too safe, but for the moment, it is the only way.

Gruul immediately agreed to Adier's method, and raised his sword himself, ready to enter the room of the three knights overnight to assassinate them.

Unexpectedly, the other party also held the same thoughts as them, and the three of them gathered together directly, and a premeditated assassination directly turned into a rape.

In a fight, Adier once again showed his own value. The three knights were directly killed by him alone, without even making a sound during the whole process.

Thinking of the previous fighting process, Gruul couldn't help but shook his head, and the eyes he looked at Adier couldn't help becoming more intense.

"With such a powerful knight by your side, as long as the Golden Knight is not present in person, what is there to be afraid of?"

There was a smile on his face, and for the first time since he fled, his heart was filled with a sense of security.

"But...it's not safe..."

In a blink of an eye, other thoughts appeared in his mind: "Yasuo will follow me, it's just that I can give him opportunities and prospects, but my big brother can also do these..."

"If you want him to serve faithfully, you need more things..."

For people like Gruul, they don't believe in the so-called family affection and friendship from the bottom of their hearts.

Yasuo's second sister is indeed his wife, but in Gruul's eyes, she may not have much weight.

When it comes to relationships, Ashley is still his father-in-law, and seeing his defeat in the end, didn't he turn to other princes and want to imprison him?

Baron Dolu is Yasuo's father, but Baron Dolu has been defeated many times before, and when he was in crisis many times, why didn't Yasuo come forward to help his father in the battle?

It can be seen from this that this genius knight may not care much about his father and family, and it is even more hopeless to rely on this to tie the other party.

"Instead of this, it's better..."

Seemingly remembering something, Gruul smiled again.

Chapter 609 Family

"All the confrontation between schemes and plans will eventually be reduced to a confrontation between forces..."

Standing quietly beside Gruer, witnessing his behavior that night, Adier said nothing on the surface, but secretly shook his head in his heart.

In just over half a month, Adil also understood Gruul's personality.

This is a person who firmly believes that means are better than people's hearts, and is very practical, but planning is more important than practice.

For one thing, I like to plan in advance, but I always neglect the specific details. When planning, it seems to be watertight, but there are always many problems when doing things.

However, Adiel didn't care about Gruul's behavior.

Whether there are omissions or no omissions, in the final analysis, it is just a platform for covering up, and it is nothing to Adil.

Shaking his head secretly, looking at Gruer's far away figure, Adier turned around and walked towards his room.
