“What? It’s the nobles who attacked us!”

“It’s the Leicester family!”

“How could they do this! How dare they do this!?”

There was a commotion in the convoy. The Apprentice Knights were shocked, angry, and in disbelief.

Heath gripped his cross sword tightly and was ready to fight to the death to break out of the encirclement. The current situation was a hundred times more dangerous than the previous war.

In this land, assassinating the nobles was quite a violation of the rules. It was a big taboo!

Once it was discovered by outsiders, it would be attacked by all the nobles, attacked by the kingdom, and the entire family would be uprooted.

Therefore, this kind of thing could either not be done, or it could not leave any loopholes.

The Baron looked at Viscount Leicester and said, “Viscount, are you going to break the rules?”

Leicester said, “You forced me to do this!”

After a pause, he went straight to the point, “Carter, I have one last question for you. Are you willing to hand over the Graystone Mine or not?”

“As long as you agree, I will immediately turn around and leave. When I go back, I will immediately execute my son and have all my daughters stand out and choose a person you like to have a wedding with you. From now on, the entire Leicester family will worship you as their Lord! How about it?”

He pleaded, “You still have a lot of time, and a lot of ten years left. In the future, you’ll be able to find even more Graystone Mines. There’s no need to fight with an old man like me who’s on his last legs. Leave this opportunity half a year later to me, okay?”

Heath was puzzled. Graystone Mine? Graystone Mine again!

What exactly was this thing?

An opportunity half a year later? What did this mean?

He really could not understand what kind of mine was worth a Viscount starting a war in. Now, a Viscount was even willing to betray the entire family, break the rules, and push the family to the bonfire!

Even in the face of such tempting conditions, Baron Carter was still unmoved.

The Baron shook his head and said, “Viscount, you are mistaken. There is only one master in this land. In the past, now, and in the future.”

Leicester’s eyes turned red. He said angrily, “You forced me to do this!”

“Kill them!”

Clang! Clang!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The cold sound of metal clashing rang out. The battle began once again.

The Baron pulled out his cross sword and walked to the front to command the battle.

Leicester sneered. “Carter, just give up and surrender. Do you really think you are a Grand Knight? With the short-term power borrowed from your ‘Knight’s Heart’, you cannot escape!”

The Baron said while facing the enemy, “It seems that Your Excellency the Viscount is very concerned about me.”

Leicester said, “Then you should know that since I dare to appear here, it means that victory is already within my grasp! You have lost!”

Baron Carter sneered. “What if?”

Leicester snorted coldly. “Stubborn!”

The two of them did not speak anymore, and the battle continued.

The Baron commanded the Apprentice Knights to retreat to the back of the carriage, using the carriage as a cover to defend.

Heath could not understand this. After all, retreating to the back of the carriage could strengthen the defense, but at the same time, it blocked the way forward and completely cut off the possibility of breaking out of the encirclement.

If they did not break out of the encirclement, wouldn’t it be a dead-end if they continued to defend?

But why did the Baron not seem to panic at all? Could it be…

Suddenly, Heath seemed to have thought of a possibility.

And as if to confirm this guess, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out in the distance.

Da! Da! Da!

Not long after, a convoy appeared not far away. Looking at the emblem on the carriage, it was one of the guests of the Ron family that night.
