Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 209
Chapter 209 Goode’s death
Joseph and Bhatia walked together, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very good.
“Bhatia, don’t worry, with me in everything, your father will definitely recover as soon as possible.” Joseph comforted Bhatia, his tone was gentle, his eyes were full of strength, like a bosom brother.
Bhatia looked up at Joseph with an admiring expression on her face, like a little girl immersed in love: “Baron Joseph, with you here, I feel at ease.”
Her eye sockets were red, and there were still teardrops in the corners of her eyes, but her mood had stabilized.
“Bhatia, I will always be by your side.” Joseph said firmly.
Bhatia lowered her head with a smile of joy and happiness on her face.
Robin and Feynman were on this side of the corridor, and vaguely heard their conversation. Robin looked at Bhatia’s shy face, and was a little surprised: Earl Goode’s youngest daughter had something for Joseph. Favor?
Then, Joseph and Bhatia came to Robin along the corridor.
Joseph looked at Robin, the expression on his face instantly turned cold, and he said arrogantly: “Meet you again, Baron Robin. Don’t worry, this is the residence of Earl Goode, for the sake of the Earl , at least here, I won’t do anything to you.”
Robin was too lazy to talk to Joseph, just ignored him, looked at Bhatia beside Joseph, bent forward slightly, and performed a noble salute: “Miss Bhatia, I will go back today , I will come to visit the Earl again later.”
Although Bhatia didn’t know what happened between Robin and Joseph, she also keenly felt that the two seemed to be at odds, and immediately became a little at a loss: “Okay, okay.”
After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t returned the salute, so she hurriedly raised her skirt and knelt down to return the salute to Robin.
Then, Feynman told Bhatia again: “Earl Goode needs company most now, Bhatia, you should spend more time with your father, enlighten him, and I will come to heal him tomorrow.”
“Thank you very much, Uncle Feynman, I will remember.” Bhatia nodded vigorously with a serious expression.
Bhatia has been sending Robin and Feynman out of the gate of the Earl’s Mansion. Looking at the backs of the two riding away, Bhatia turned to look at Joseph beside him, with a puzzled expression on his small face: “Joe Joseph, don’t you like Baron Robin?”
Joseph’s face was cold, his eyes were like knives, he stared at Robin who was fading away, and replied: “Baron Robin is not a good man, Bhatia, you have to be careful of him.”
Bhatia was somewhat skeptical: “However, Baron Robin and Uncle Feynman seem to have a good relationship.”
As Earl Good’s friend, Bhatia trusted Feynman very much. Her mind was simple: Uncle Feynman would definitely not hurt her. Since Uncle Feynman brought Baron Robin, he must not be a bad person.
Joseph knew that Bhatia trusted Feynman, so although he was very dissatisfied with Feynman, he couldn’t show it in order to gain Bhatia’s favor.
So, he replied ambiguously: “There are many people in this world who are honest on the outside, but treacherous and cunning on the inside. Baron Robin is such a person, and Pastor Feynman was also deceived by him. You are still young, you can’t see his Hypocrisy, in short, stay away from Baron Robin in the future, and be careful not to be harmed by him. Bhatia, I will not deceive you.”
“Well, I see.” Although Bhatia was still confused, she also trusted Baron Joseph. Since this was Joseph’s advice, she naturally took it to heart.
In the next few days, Feynman went to the Earl’s Mansion every day, using the Holy Light to renew Earl Goode’s life. However, Earl Goode’s body was still getting weaker day by day, he was like a candle that was about to burn out, no matter what he did, it was useless.
A week later, Earl Goode died.
Earl Good died in the middle of the night, and Robin only learned of his death the next morning. He was in the tent at the time, having breakfast with Simon, Luke, and Tess.
Robin’s reaction was very calm. He didn’t have a deep friendship with Earl Goode, so he didn’t feel much sadness in his heart. Moreover, in fact, he has also vaguely noticed that Earl Goode may not be alive soon.
“Then, Lord Baron, I will take my leave first. We will send someone to inform you about the follow-up arrangements of the funeral.” The envoy of the Earl’s Mansion hurriedly left after delivering the news.
Robin stood up silently. Under the gaze of Simon and the others, he walked to the door of the tent, looked at the towering city wall of Longji Fort next to the barracks, and couldn’t help but feel very sad:
Earl Goode, he is also considered a shrewd and capable lord. He built Dragon’s Back Fort with one hand, and almost became the overlord of the wasteland. Such a person died like this.
After being silent for a while, Robin opened his mouth thoughtfully and said, “Once Earl Goode dies, a new nobleman will inevitably appear in the central wasteland to replace him. It seems that the forces in the wasteland will be reshuffled again. “
Although Robin looked down on Joseph very much, from a purely rational perspective, he estimated that the person who succeeded Earl Goode was most likely to be Joseph.
Earl Goode is dead, and Baron Lauren is also dead. Bhatia is just a naive little girl. In the current central wasteland, almost no one can compete with Joseph.
Robin immediately decided that after attending Earl Goode’s funeral, he would lead his troops back to Rage City temporarily. Helen is now on the front line, and he won’t be needed for a while. He has been away from Raging Waves City for so long, so he should go back and see how his base camp is doing.
Once Earl Gude died, the nominal heir of Dragon’s Back Castle was Bhatia, but how could she know how to manage such a large territory as a little girl, so the power of Dragon’s Back Castle actually fell into the hands of Joseph, Batty Ya became Joseph’s marionette.
Joseph single-handedly planned the funeral of Earl Goode. Although the funeral was held hastily, it was very grand. The pioneer lords on the wasteland and the veteran nobles of the Northern Territory all sent people to attend the funeral.
Although there were a lot of guests attending the funeral, in fact no one cared about the life and death of Earl Goode at all. The nobles all took a fancy to the fat of Longji Castle and wanted to take a bite of it.
Among the black-clothed crowd at the funeral, Robin accidentally saw Joseph talking happily with the envoys of the Golden Rose family. An agent, it seems they’ve hit on Joseph.
During the entire funeral, I am afraid that only two people were genuinely sad. One was Earl Goode’s daughter Bhatia. The little girl lay on her father’s coffin, crying so faintly that she almost fainted.
As an aristocrat, one must always pay attention to his image and self-cultivation. In the eyes of traditional aristocrats, Bhatia cried so much that he could not be called a lady. At the funeral, many aristocratic women talked and commented on Bhatia.
But Robin can understand her. For a sixteen-year-old girl, the death of her brother first, and now her father, is such a heavy blow.
Another person who is really sad is Pastor Feynman, who has been friends with Earl Goode for many years, and in the end he also tried his best to save Earl Goode.
He once said to Robin very sadly: “Gude’s death is the will of the Holy Light, and I can do nothing about it.”
The day after the funeral, Joseph couldn’t wait to cut off the rations for the Raging Waves Legion.
Originally, when the troops of the wasteland coalition were stationed in Longji Fort, their daily rations were provided by Longji Fort. The coalition forces withdrawing from the front line are not only Robin’s Raging Waves Legion, but also many other lord’s troops.
Now that Joseph has become the actual controller of Dragon’s Back Fort, he started to make trouble for Robin, and his intention couldn’t be more obvious, just to drive Robin away.
In fact, Joseph didn’t need to rush, Robin had already planned to leave. On the day when the food ran out, he left Dragon’s Back Fort with the Raging Wave Legion.
Not only did he leave, but Pastor Feynman also left. Once Earl Goode died, there was no reason for him to stay in Longji Castle.
Pastor Feynman’s home is in Silver Frost City. He originally wanted to go home to reunite with his wife and daughter, but when he heard that Robin was going back to Raging City, he decided to follow Robin to Raging City. Anyway, it was barely smooth. road. In this regard, Robin naturally raised his hands in welcome.
…
Sabri’s headless corpse was lying in the middle of a piece of weeds. Seven or eight black crows chirped and landed on his body, scrambling to enjoy the sumptuous meal. With their sharp beaks, Sabri The corpse in the peck was riddled with holes, and small pieces of meat were torn off. Sabri’s corpse was almost invisible.
Suddenly, a sound of horseshoes disturbed the crows who were eating, and there was a sound of flapping wings, and the crows flew into the air in panic.
Two black dragonscale horses passed through the grass and stopped beside Sabri’s body. The people on the horses were Blood Duke Selina and her blood servant Bill.
Selena was dressed in black leather, with long golden hair casually draped over her shoulders, without any weapons on her body.
She was riding on horseback, looking at Sabri’s broken corpse, smelling the unpleasant smell of rotting corpses in the air, her golden eyes showed anger.
“Sabri is dead, who did it?” She was a little surprised. With Sabri’s strength, someone in the coalition army could kill him.
Bill was wearing a set of dark red armor, and with a cold face, he immediately replied, “It’s Baron Robin of Raging City, and Pastor Feynman of the Church of the Holy Light.”
“Baron Robin?” Selina frowned slightly. “Kazan, he also killed him, right?”
“yes.”
“Where are the two of them now?”
“According to the information we have obtained, they have returned to the rear of the human line of defense, and they may be currently in Longji Fort.”
“The majesty of the blood race has been desecrated. No matter where they are, they cannot be allowed to live any longer. Bill, I will leave this matter to you and kill them.” Selina ordered casually. As if it was a very simple task.
Bill did not hesitate, and immediately agreed: “Yes, Your Excellency the Duke.”
Then, the two of them rode away from here. As for Sabri’s body, let it continue to rot here.
