Chapter 680 (2/2)

Things went awry because of him being “very successful!”

Probably because both sides saw Dahl Hill as a model example, they strived harder and harder in trying to pull him over to their sides. Their attitudes were also getting stronger and stronger.

Especially this time around, the messengers they sent over had implicitly hinted to him that, “if not a comrade, then an enemy.”

This was the most problematic issue that gave Baron Dahl a headache.

He truly did not care about who he was going to take as a comrade, but he was very concerned about who he was going to make an enemy of.

After all… regardless of which side it was, to the Dahl family, both were overwhelmingly powerful and massive. Whichever side he chose to take, he could be easily killed with a light slap from the other party… just like swatting a mosquito.

Though both sides had solemnly vowed that so long as Baron Dahl chose to pledge allegiance to their side, he would be able to gain several benefits and would be well-protected, Baron Dahl did not trust them!

Only a fool would believe their words!

Protect him? Well-protected?

Haha, not long ago, there was an heir of a certain viscount who suddenly fell from his horse and died. How did he die?

A young man who had the capability of a knight-to-be, would fall from his horse and die? The man would never die even if the horse fell to its death!

Also, how could a certain medium-sized chamber of commerce warehouse positioned by the sea be wrecked by fishermen? It could not be that those deplorable, unlucky fellows, who were abandoned by the Goddess of the Ocean, could actually have the ability to break through the fortress made out of stone, could it? That would be insulting everyone’s intelligence for sure!

Baron Dahl dared to bet with his own head that so long as he had chosen a side, once news spread, it would take less than half a month for the crowd in this room be a much snore sparse.

Everyone naturally understood this principle. So, looking at one another, they all frowned.

An awkward silence enshrouded the small conference room.

After a long time, amidst the silence, a voice suddenly sounded. This was a young knight-to-be with the surname of Dahl.

“I feel that… why don’t we just pledge allegiance to the Church of the Void Mask!”
