Lord of Glory - Chapter 87: Conspiracy
“Kaleqi! Why are you here!” When Paladin saw the visitor, he lost his voice and blurted out. The surprise on his face was obviously not a disguise. This person who came face to face was none other than Kaleqi, who was supposed to be in Nurba! Kaleiqi was also stunned when he heard someone call him. When he got a good look at Paladin’s surprised face, his shock was no less than the former’s: “Paladin! Why are you here too!” Paladin’s face was a little ugly, suddenly stern, and went forward and took Kaleqi’s arm and pulled it hard into a nearby tent. That Tony saw so, so smartly stood outside the tent, patrolling for people who might approach.
“Kaleqi, say it. What did Harvey give you?” In the tent, Paladin stared at Kaleiqi with narrowed eyes. The look was one that would make him regret it if he couldn’t give Paladin a satisfactory explanation. Kaleqi blinked his eyes and suddenly asked suspiciously, “Harvey? What does this have to do with Harvey?” As soon as the words left his mouth, Paladin suddenly flung his hand and with one hand he grabbed Kaleiqi’s neck in one go! The powerful force came from the right hand, Kaleiqi could not resist, and was lifted up by Paladin’s grip on his neck like a chicken.
No matter how much the former struggled, it was useless. Seeing that Kaleqi’s face was already purple, the pupils full of fear were filled with blood. Just when Kaleqi was about to be strangled to death by the expressionless Paladin. He let go of his hand and watched Kaleqi fall to the ground, coughing in pain. Self-consciously, he picked up a folding chair next to him and sat down, and handed a pot of clear water in the tent to Kaleqi, whose voice became hoarse and knelt on the ground in pain.
As soon as the latter took the clear water, he raised his head and poured it immediately. Paladin waited until Kaleiqi felt better and then suddenly asked: “What benefits did Harvey give you?” “No, no benefit.” Kaleqi panted, but suddenly saw Paladin’s gloomy face again, and immediately argued: “There is really no benefit! My identity is the Earl’s mercenary, now he wants to go to war, as long as I take his money, I must go with the expedition!”
Paladin looked at Kaleqi who did not seem to be faking. Suddenly frowned and said: “No, if you go out with the army and I also go out with the army. Then Nurba’s estate will be unattended. Humph! Harvey, this bastard’s greed is beyond my imagination. It’s not good to say that even Andrew and the others are involved.” Paladin talked to himself, only to leave Kaleqi confused. Paladin rolled his eyes to look at Kaleqi’s thick beard and suddenly asked, “You’re off to war, what about your wife and my godson?”
“They naturally live in Nurba. Although they are very much against my going out to war, they can’t help it. If I release my employment to the Earl, all these properties that I have gained will go up in smoke.” Listening to such words, Paladin nodded in silence. Suddenly slightly increased his voice and said, “Tony, come in.”
Tony smiled and immediately got into the tent. Paladin immediately introduced him to Kaleqi: “This is my subordinate, sitting priest Tony, Carles. Tony, this is my partner and dear friend, the mercenary Kaleqi.” Speaking of this, Paladin also added meaningfully, “Of course, Kaleqi also operates some ironware.”
“Oh! Nice to meet you!” Tony suddenly heard, and immediately to curry favor with the middle-aged man who is more than ten years older than himself. Kaleqi smiled perfunctorily, but saw Paladin suddenly said to Kaleqi: “Do you know why I am here? It’s because of your buddy Harvey!” “Him? That can’t be right. He’s not….”
Kaleqi faintly froze and was about to fight for his best friend when Paladin stopped Kaleqi’s words with a wave of his hand and said with a face full of resentment and cruelty, “Harvey must die. I will not tolerate a man who has hurt my interests, and is still alive under my nose! I want all his wife and children to be buried with him, and I want all the heads of his family to be hung in the treetops and eaten by birds!” Later on, Paladin’s eyes were glowing with fierceness. Kaleqi, who was about to persuade him, trembled and swallowed his words. And Tony lowered his head in fear. Because Paladin’s eyes at this time made him have a trace of fear.
“What are you going to do?” Kaleqi said with a sigh. Between Harvey and Paladin, Kaleqi is very wise to choose the latter. Regardless of strength, momentum and means. Harvey, an old guy, is far from being a match for this young priest. Paladin shook his hand, and said with a mysterious expression: “You don’t have to worry about it. Just know one thing, if you survive this war by luck, then you will gain far more wealth and power than this.” Looking over at Tony, he said, “You too.”
Seeing the two show excited eyes, but Paladin turned his head to Kaleqi and instructed, “After everyone goes to bed, you go find Harvey and tell him that there is something important to talk about, and bring him inside the adjacent dense forest. Then.” Saying this Paladin then turned his head to Tony and said, “Wait aside and call me when you see Kaleqi and Harvey go out.” “Is this really okay?” Tony said with great uncertainty. He hoped that Paladin could tell him in more detail. Paladin, however, no longer had the slightest desire to reveal the plan. “Don’t worry, as long as you guys don’t betray me. Things will work.”
The men were given a tranquilizer. Paladin let them disperse, who were puzzled. As night fell, the soldiers, the earl, and the knights all fell asleep. The flames of the bonfire were also extinguished quite a bit. Only soldiers in twos and threes guarded the surrounding area, standing guard with drowsy torches. Crouching by the tent, Tony, who was devouring his spirit with sleepiness, suddenly saw that Kaleqi and Harvey, who was still wearing armor and had time to take off, came out of the tent, carrying torches, and went straight to the nearby woods. Tony was about to raise the tent immediately and wake up Paladin. Suddenly, he saw Paladin looking at him with a full face and no sleepiness.
“Uh, you didn’t sleep, Bishop?” “Hmm.” Paladin, incontestably enthused, then stood up and looked at the fire in the distance gradually into the forest and said: “Loyalty or not, Kaleqi, do not let me down.” Paladin, who muttered to himself, followed directly. Tony looked left and right, but it was hard to make a sound on such a quiet night. He had no choice but to pick up a dagger and put it in his sleeve, and followed Paladin’s pace.
They walked for more than ten minutes. Paladin saw Kaleqi standing in front of Harvey and didn’t know what he was talking about. Obviously Harvey is not in a good mood. It doesn’t hurt to be woken up while sleeping. But Paladin walked towards the two of them grandly. There was no intention of hiding himself. Tony behind him was shocked! Afraid of being seen by Harvey, when he was about to warn Paladin. Harvey’s mocking voice sounded in the distance: “Paladin, do you still want to come and kill me?”
