Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

There are two strong men in the Carmen family.

One of them is Placido, the master of Netherworld and the long-famous Meteor Peak Knight.

The second is his sister Melissa, who is very accomplished in magic and is now a wizard.

Therefore, Melissa knew magicians very well. When she saw the paper floating over and hovering in front of them, she knew that there was a magician on the other side.

Because only an eighth-level magician can use mental power to control physical objects.

Hearing this, Placido trembled all over and his face froze.

In other words, the opponent not only has a Sun Knight and a dragon, but also a mysterious magician.

Oh my God, Nethergarde has only been responsible for containing one of the enemy's knights for many years, why is it suddenly facing such great pressure?

Wushan family, with such a powerful lineup, why didn’t they go to Hongsong Fort, but chose such a small place?

Placido took the letter carefully. He could feel the power controlling the paper disappear.

He slowly unfolded it and saw the words written on it:

Dear Viscount Placido, I am the Guardian Knight of the Kingdom of Alduin, the Marquis of Moonlight Valley, and the Earl of Wubei Territory, Ronin Wushan. I have no ill intentions in coming here today, but I just hope to have a friendly talk with you. If you also have such a wish, please come out of the castle and talk to me. To show my sincerity, I will let my knight retreat a few miles.

"This……"

Placido was stunned. He couldn't help but look at the six people on the slope outside the city wall. The young man in the lead should be Marquis Ronin.

As if aware of his gaze, Roning nodded to him, and the five people around him retreated on horseback, and in the blink of an eye they were out of sight.

"do you want to go?"

Placido was a little hesitant. Although there was only one person on the other side, he was the Knight of the Prideful Sun, and one person was enough to fight against ten thousand people.

"go with!"

Melissa suggested decisively, "People like him have to save face. It's impossible for him to do such a despicable thing as luring you out of the city and arresting you."

Placido pondered for a moment.

Judging from the current lineups of both sides, the opponent clearly has the advantage, and Roning really doesn't need to use such dishonorable means to deal with him.

"Okay, I'll go!"

Placido was also a courageous man. He stuffed the letter into Melissa's arms and said, "Be prepared. If Ronin is really shameless, don't worry about me. Just defend the Watchtower firmly!"

Melissa nodded, "Don't worry!"

The north gate of Netherfort slowly opened, and a warhorse galloped out, with the tall figure of Placido sitting on it.

Roning was a little surprised. He did not ask the other party to bring only one person. Placido could bring more than one person.

From this we can also see that the owner of the Watchtower has great courage.

The warhorse galloped to Ronin, and Placido dismounted. "I didn't expect to meet you here, respected Marquis Ronin. I have heard of your glorious deeds a long time ago. I am very happy to meet you!"

Luo Ning also dismounted, walked up and shook hands with the other party.

"I admire your courage very much. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two got down to business.

"What do you want to discuss with me, Your Excellency?"

Placido asked, "Do you want me to open the gate of Nethergarde Fort and surrender?"

Although the atmosphere just now seemed like a meeting between friends, when it came to specific issues, the atmosphere began to become a little tense.

In any case, they are in a hostile state.

"Since you already know why I'm here, I won't beat around the bush."

Roning said, "The Carmen family made their fortune here, and Watchtower is undoubtedly your ancestral home. I don't know if you have other territories and properties in the Kingdom of Tricia, but at least here you have some."

"Once the war begins, your foundation in Nethergarde Fort will be completely destroyed. Even if you survive, your family will suffer a heavy loss."

Placido sneered, "Although you are a Knight of the Sun, and you have a dragon and a magician in your team, Nethergarde is not completely without defense. To be honest, the kingdom has sent me reinforcements, and they can deal with you and your dragon."

"Don't fool yourself, Viscount."

Ronin smiled and said, "The reinforcements you mentioned are the knights, magician team, and several magic cannons that arrived at Nethergarde Castle not long ago?"

Placido, who was already suspected of self-encouragement, finally changed his expression after knowing that his true identity was seen clearly by the other party.

"How did you..."

Ronin chuckled, "I already knew their whereabouts the day they came. To be honest, this support is not enough. At least, the Kingdom of Tricia should send you enough Dragon Eagle Knights."

Placido remained silent.

He also wanted a team of dragon hawk knights, but the conditions did not allow it. The kingdom's dragon hawk knights were probably still near the Molten Duchy.

"Surrender!"

Roning got straight to the point. "I admire your courage and strength, and I also admire these elites in the Watchtower. Be loyal to me, and you and your Carmen family will achieve greater glory."

"impossible!"

Placido refused directly, "You are asking me to commit treason, I absolutely do not agree!"

"country?"

Ronin shook his head. "As far as I know, the Kingdom of Tricia has cooperated with the Molten Principality occupied by the Holy Storm Organization. Do you know this organization?"

Placido hesitated for a moment. "You understand?"

"Of course I understand!"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "If you are willing to listen, I am willing to tell you this confidential information."

"Please say!"

In fact, Placido was also very curious about this emerging organization. Before the defeat of the Molten Duke, he had never even heard of this name.

Roning did not hide anything and told all the stories about the Sacred Storm Organization and Mephisto.

"Your king has cooperated with aliens and has stood against humanity. If you continue to be loyal to such a country, you will eventually become an alien, just like Count Jesus here."

"Imagine, your parents, your wife, your children, your relatives and friends all lose themselves and become the minions and puppets of the devil. How would that feel?"

Placido couldn't help but take a few steps back, shocked by Ronin's words.

"No, it's impossible, these are just your guesses!"

This subversive information made Placido confused. How could the royal family become a foreign race?

Roning did not make any excuses. All this information was sent back by Harmon, so there was no doubt about its authenticity.

Placido probably knew that the royal family had cooperated with the Holy Storm Organization of the Molten Principality, but they did not know the inside story and did not know that this organization was a race of demons from another continent.

He climbed onto his horse and said, "The war has not yet begun. You still have time to inquire and confirm, and time to think."

"But the war is coming, and you don't have much time to think. Think carefully, Placido. Choose to fight me or to submit to me. These will be two completely different paths."

Placido looked at Ronin's departing back, feeling as if a huge stone was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Honor and loyalty are very important to the Border Viscount.

However, the future of his family and the safety of his loved ones are also burdens that he cannot ignore.

"What if, what if it is true as Ronin said, the royal family has become the minions of the devil, then is my loyalty to the Tricia family or to the devil?"

The shocking secrets about the cooperation between the Holy Storm Organization and the Kingdom of Tricia kept echoing in Placido's mind.

"The truth must be found out as soon as possible."

He turned his horse around and returned to Nethergarde.

On the city wall, Melissa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Roning leave. As expected, the latter still cared about his reputation and would not resort to such despicable means.

She quickly descended from the wall, wanting to know what the conversation was about.

Red Pine Castle.

Matt, who rushed back from the Golden Feather Palace, handed the king's letter to Garrett.

Garrett, who was already in a bad mood, had a distorted expression on his face after reading the letter.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Why, why did Father do this to me?"

Garrett stared at the words on the letter. Although Bruno's words were very tactful, he felt that they revealed distrust everywhere.

He kept asking himself in his mind, "Just because Ronin is a Prideful Knight and can help you build your empire, you are partial to him in every way?"

"Just because he is so powerful, you not only want to deprive me of my position as the commander-in-chief, but also transfer me away from the front line and return to Jinyu City?"

Although Blue gave him the right to appoint Gushan and Ronin, which gave him some dignity.

But Garrett didn't think so. In his opinion, it was shameless for him to return to Golden Feather City when the war was about to begin.

He absolutely couldn't accept such a thing happening!

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Matt asked worriedly, the violent aura coming from Garrett made him very uneasy.

"fine!"

Garrett took a deep breath and calmed down: "Your Majesty agreed that we should go to war. I am just excited about it."

"Really?"

Matt's eyes lit up. "This is great. After so many years of border standoff, we can finally take action!"

"haha, yes!"

He waved his hand and said, "You are tired too, go down and have a rest. Remember to keep this information confidential for the time being. Also, come to me again tomorrow morning, I have something to arrange for you."

Matt bowed respectfully and left the room.

The door closed gently, and Garrett was the only one left in the room. He looked at the letter again, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"Father, even though you no longer trust my ability, I will prove you wrong with the next great victory!"

"You are old, and your vision is no longer as wise as it used to be!"

He murmured, "Don't blame me..."
