Lord: The inheritance right is taken away at the beginning

Chapter 33: Nervous

Luo Ning considered many situations on the way to Shanlin Town, but even the wisest man can make mistakes.

Without sufficient intelligence, there are some things that Roning cannot take into account.

Now that I think about it since Baron Leisen has decided to take a risky move to get rid of Roning, he must make sure that there is no chance of failure.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, Princet and others are enough to deal with Roning and his guards.

But in order to prevent any accidents, Baron Leisen ordered Knight Feridon to lead his troops to attack from behind, which was enough to ensure that Ronin had no way to escape.

Just imagine, if Roning loses to Princet and chooses to escape, he will inevitably be double-teamed, with no way to go up or down.

This was Baron Leisen's entire plan to kill Ronin.

Luo Ning was a little confused. Shanlin Town was so close, but he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

If he went forward, he knew nothing about the situation in the town, and he could not gather any men to fight against Baron Sean;

if he went backwards, his retreat would be blocked, and he would have no way to retreat.

"what to do?"

He must think of a solution as soon as possible; otherwise, if time is delayed and the enemy surrounds him from behind, his situation will become even more dangerous.

Roning looked up at the endless forests on both sides of the road, thinking that perhaps he could save his life by escaping into the forest with McKen and the others.

But having chosen this path, he was doomed to be unable to escape with the twenty-nine guards.

Although this group of people are ordinary people, Roning has invested a lot in them. He also hopes that there will be two more potential guys like David who can awaken the seeds of a fighting spirit in this group.

He was unwilling to just abandon this group of people like this.

Moreover, even if he survived the forest, he could only return to Wushanbao. At that time, could he use the excuse that Lord Sean wanted to kill him to get Wushanbao to send troops?

I guess it's difficult.

It's not that Wushanbao doesn't care about his life or death, but even if he makes an accusation, it will take a long time and may not necessarily bring down Baron Leisen.

After all, at that time, he was still penniless, deprived of inheritance, and only a baron of Hillwood Town in name, while the other party was a baron who actually controlled a team of knights, had been operating it for decades, and had connections.

What did Luo Ning rely on?

Are we just relying on the blood of the Wushan family to accuse the nobles, and then Wushan Castle would kill the nobles?

This is obviously unlikely.

It is estimated that in the end, the most that Sean will be sentenced to is to pay compensation for the tax revenue he embezzled from Shanlin Town for so many years.

But at that time, if Luo Ning still wanted to come to Shanlin Town and continue to serve as the lord of Shanlin, the situation he would face would be the same as it is now.

There is no way the other party will give up the territory they regard as theirs.

"I need to gain a foothold in Hillwood Town as soon as possible!"

Luo Ning looked tense, his brows furrowed, and he was lost in thought.

It would be best if he could come up with a way to delay the conflict with Lord Sen without having to flee into the mountains.

But at this moment, Elrond approached Ronin and whispered, "My lord, I hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance."

As he spoke, Elrond pointed the way they had come.

Luo Ning was shocked, and his expression became even uglier. "You came so soon?"

"Haha, it will take more than four hours to run at full speed from Seanling to Shanlin Town!"

Princet's voice was full of gloating. "From the moment I met you, you acted very calm, but now I finally see fear on your face, hahahaha!"

He began to become arrogant as if he had escaped from his prisoner status.

"Now, you can only hand us over to Knight Feridon, and only in this way can you have a chance to survive."

"Yeah?"

Roning said in a cold voice, glancing at Macken, "Beat his mouth and knock out his teeth. I don't want to hear him speak a complete sentence again!"

"Understood, sir!"

McKen kicked Princet and then punched him twice in the mouth, knocking all his teeth out. Blood foam mixed with saliva flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Roning looked up at the road he came from. Now, even he could hear the sound of horse hooves.

"what to do!"

The more tense and critical the moment, the calmer Roning suddenly became.

When facing Feridon, he must ensure that he is calm enough to prevent the other party from acting rashly.

"Fear is an emotion that everyone has. If I am afraid, then Baron Leisen will be afraid, too!"

Roning's mind raced. What would Baron Leisen be afraid of?

Only two things.

First, the other party was afraid that Wushanbao would know about the embezzlement of Shanlin Town's tax revenue;

second, the other party was afraid that Wushanbao would know about the murder of Luo Ning.

If you embezzle resources, you may be able to find an excuse to cover it up and then make up for it with compensation;

But as a vassal of Wushanbao, he turned around and killed the bloodline of Wushanbao. This is not as simple as making up for it with a fine.

The deterrent power of Wushan Fort is weakening now, but it does not mean that it is gone. The old Marquis is just seriously ill, not dead.

In order to maintain the dignity of Wushanbao, both Lulans and Wiggins would send troops to Lord Sean to deter those who were ready to make moves in the name of revenge for Roning.

I believe the Hyde family will not stop this.

So, in comparison, Baron Leisen was more afraid of the second thing.

Therefore, as long as there is the slightest possibility of failing to defeat Roning, the opponent will retract his revealed murderous intent.

All Roning had to do was intimidate the other party, make them misjudge the strength of both sides and make them think that even if they took action, they would not be able to wipe out all of Roning's men.

As long as there is a slight risk of the information being passed on, the other party will be cautious.

If Roning wants to achieve the "deterrence" effect, he must put on a show to make the other party misjudge his own strength.

The most crucial part of this scene is to make Princet and others shut up completely so that the other party will not be able to understand their true strength.

"Everyone listen up!"

After thinking it over, Roning shouted loudly, "Kill all the prisoners!"

The guards were stunned for a moment. They thought that the few infantrymen who were lucky enough to survive would be forgiven by the lord, but they did not expect that they would still end up dead.

It was just a moment of confusion before the guards raised their swords and ended the captive's life.

Roning looked at Princet, who had his eyes wide open, having never expected that Roning would make such a choice.

"I see fear on your face."

Roning repeated what the other person had just said and then gave McKen a look.

McKen barely gave Princet any time to react before slicing off his head with his sword!

"You...you guys!"

Dyson, on the side, was stunned. His companion Kate had just woken up and fainted again after seeing this scene.

In the moment of their shock, McCann and David ended their lives.

Since then, 99% of all the troops brought by Princet were killed in the battle, leaving only the last one.

Ronin looked at Malte.

Malte met Ronin's cold and seemingly emotionless gaze, and he immediately broke out in a sweat and fell to his knees in fear.

"Sir, please believe in my loyalty! Even if you ask me to challenge Feridon, I will not hesitate!"

Malte was really scared. He didn't expect that such a young baron would kill prisoners, as he said.

Luo Ning narrowed his eyes but finally did not kill him. "You should be thankful that you are worth living."

"Marte is grateful for not killing me!!"

The sound of horse hooves became clearer and clearer, and Roning took a deep breath.

In fact, when Elrond informed him, he already had no time to escape.

From that time on, Roning had no choice but to give it a try.

"Now, lie on the ground and pretend to be a corpse."

Luo Ning ordered: "Remember to act like one. If you don't, I'll make you look like one."

"Okay, okay..."

Malte lay on the ground in panic. Perhaps considering that it was not realistic to pretend to be dead, he quickly got up and wiped the blood on the ground on his neck and body, then lay down again.

Perhaps considering that this was still not quite right, Malte hardened his heart, picked up the sword and slashed his left arm twice, immediately tearing his clothes and letting blood flow out.

After doing this, he lay face down on the ground and did not move.

Luo Ning couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This guy was pretending very well. Fortunately, the wound on his arm was not deep; otherwise, he would have bled to death.

However, it is better to be safe than sorry. "David, you will stand next to Malte in a moment. If he makes any movement, you will know what to do."

"David understands!"

Luo Ning raised his sword and shouted, "Everyone, bring out your spirit, line up and meet the enemy!"
