Chapter 440: The Proposal to Form a Coalition Army Again (1)
Bane, who was more than ten steps away from Su Yang, rushed to Su Yang and took Su Yang's hand and said, "Su Yang, what's going on with the magic sword Apophis you just mentioned?"
Su Yang was shocked by Barn who suddenly rushed over, and then said: "I had fought a weapon that had lived in the Whispering Cave once before. The name of that weapon was the magic sword Apophis, and the strange blue-purple magic flame was burning around its blade forever."
After hearing Su Yang's words, Bane was obviously stunned. After a while, he said, "What does this have to do with my father's death?"
"This, you should say to the old butler." Su Yang glanced at the old butler and said.
The old butler nodded, walked to Bane's ear and whispered a few words. As the old butler's lips kept buzzing, Bane's face became increasingly ugly.
After the old butler finished speaking, Barn walked to Su Yang with a dark face and said word by word: "Su Yang, can you be sure that my father's fatal injury was not the wound of the wide-blade sword, but the strange demon flame?"
Su Yang hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly, but threw this question to the three big men in the sea of consciousness.
"I agree with the Snow Emperor that this human being did die under the burning of the demonic flames." Shilok said exactly.
As soon as Shirok finished speaking, Roths spoke: "Although I don't know the so-called magic flame very well, there is one thing I can guarantee that the human in front of me is definitely not a wound formed by the so-called wide-blade sword stab."
As for the Snow Emperor, he naturally insisted on his previous point of view.
After receiving the guarantee from three close-to-god-level powerful men, Su Yang nodded and said, "I can guarantee that the Grand Duke of Bashut is under the demonic flame."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Su Yang." After Bane said that, he turned around and walked straight outside the Duke's Mansion.
At this time, Bane made up his mind to go to the palace again, questioning why Lyon III wanted to cover up his father's real cause of death, was it for the so-called political influence or was his father's death inseparable from the royal family?
But as soon as he reached the gate of the mansion, a group of knights from the Iron Wolf Knights walked in front of him under the leadership of a stranger.
"Who are you?" Barn asked coldly.
"I?"
The leader was surprised at first, then bowed and introduced himself: "Hello, Grand Duke Bane, I am the acting leader of the Iron Wolf Knights Order temporarily appointed by His Highness Isabella. My name is Noniel."
"Noniel?!"
Barn recalled the name of the young nobleman in his mind and found that he did not have the impression of this person named Noniel. He immediately understood that this person must be an outstanding graduate of the Royal Academy. Otherwise, Isabella would not have trusted a guy who didn't know where he came from.
Haha, as soon as my father died, the royal family couldn't wait to attack me? It's really a pity. Thinking of this, Bane still said coldly: "I'm not dead yet, when will the Iron Wolf Knights have an acting leader?"
Noniel's face changed when he heard this, but it quickly returned to its original state: "The Grand Duke of Barn was joking. As long as you want, you will always be the leader of the Iron Wolf Knights. However, the princess of the Princess considered that you lost your new father and were worried that you would be exhausted, so he appointed his subordinates to take your position temporarily."
"Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, the imperial law clearly stipulates that the prince and the prince are not allowed to interfere in politics. I want to know what capacity Isabella gave this order?" Bane asked.
Obviously, Noniel was already confident in this question and answered directly without thinking: "Go back to the Grand Duke of Bahn, because your father, Grand Duke of Bathot, the scene of the sacrifice of his country happened in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty was greatly frightened and fell ill. On the sickbed, His Majesty specially asked His Majesty Isabella..."
Speaking of this, Noniel deliberately paused, and when he noticed Bane's gaze was looking at him, he slowly said: "Responsible."
Responsible? Humph, Lyon III, you really belong to it.
"Since that's the case, why don't you protect the princess? Why do you come to me?"
"When the Grand Duke returns, after learning the news of the Grand Duke's return, His Highness specially asked his subordinates to come to pick you up into the palace and discuss the burial of the old Duke." Nonil said in a humble and arrogant manner.
"Oh? Just in time, I want to meet Isabella too." A strange look flashed across Barn's face.
"Then, please, the Grand Duke."
After saying that, Noniel and the knights of the Iron Wolf Knights surrounded Bane firmly in the center and surrounded him to walk towards the palace.
...
As soon as Bane left, Su Yang and his men chased out of the Grand Duke's Mansion.
"Where is your grand duke?" Xilan, who had not seen Bane, grabbed a guard at the door of the mansion.
Regarding Xilan's actions, the guards had no impatience expression and quickly said: "The Grand Duke was invited into the palace by His Highness Isabella."
When everyone heard this news, they felt a slight slap in their hearts, and a bad premonition appeared in their hearts.
"You guys say that Bane won't assassinate the Emperor and the Emperor's daughter, right?" Xilan said to herself.
"It should...no." Su Yang said after hesitating for a moment, "Barn, he is not such a reckless person."
Su Yang's words were like a heart-boosting injection, which temporarily stabilized everyone's hearts.
...
At the same time, Barn also came to the palace where Isabella was led by Noniel.
"Great Duke, Your Highness is inside, please." Noniel bowed and said.
Barn glanced at Noniel, then pushed open the door and walked in.
There were only two people in the magnificent hall, one was the most loyal female guard of the Caesar Empire, the hound of Selles. The other was the princess of the kingdom sitting upright on the throne, closing her eyes to rest, Isabella.
"Your Highness, the Grand Duke of Bane is here."
When Barn walked to the center of the hall, Sellers, who was guarding the side, whispered.
Isabella opened her bright eyes when she heard this, raised her hand and waved: "Sellers, you go back first."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After saying that, Sellers flashed and appeared at the door of the hall, his speed was so fast that Bane praised it.
With a creak, Cyrus, who left the hall, carefully brought the gate of the hall. At this time, only Bane and Isabella were left in the hall.
Isabella, who was on the throne, looked at Bane who was covered in dust and had red eyes, and felt ache in her heart, and she opened her red lips and said, "You are back."
"Why did Your Highness say this? Your Highness should have known the news about your subordinates' return. Otherwise, how could the person in the death penalty die so suddenly?" Barn said indifferently.
Isabella looked at Bane's expression as if she was looking at a stranger and felt ache. Once upon a time, she and Bane were friends who could talk to him. Why did God let her face such a problem? On one side was her beloved father, and on the other side was the person who had been in her heart since childhood. Why did such a situation happen between them?
Although I was full of thoughts, living in the royal family since I was a child, Isabella had long developed the ability to remain calm in favour and disgrace. Therefore, on the surface Isabella still made a puzzled expression and said, "Why, do you suspect that it was the prisoner I asked someone to kill?"
Bane sneered without comment, the meaning was beyond words.
Isabella sighed: "Barn, is Isabella the kind of strange and changeable villain in your heart?"
As he spoke, Isabella's eyes were filled with sadness.
Seeing Isabella's sad expression, Bane's expression was dazed for a moment. After a while, he changed the subject and said, "What's the matter with me?"
"The violent hunting team first attacked Vetalun, the capital of our empire, and then assassinated important officials of our empire. As a ruling country, how could I let them go for such crimes? Therefore, I decided to select the elite imperial troops to form a joint army to attack the violent hunting team hiding in the southern valley!" Isabella said loudly.
Seeing Isabella so majestic, Barn couldn't help but believe in Lyon III's decision to appoint Isabella as the princess of the state.
"Why, the Grand Duke of Barn seems to have objections to my decision?" Seeing that Barn was silent, Isabella asked.
Bane smiled bitterly, although he also wanted to destroy the violent hunting group and recover Emily who was taken away. But now he is the new grand duke of the empire and bears the burden of defending the empire. Now the Dark Elf clan is invading in large numbers. Under such circumstances, if he agrees with Isabella's suggestion to mobilize elite troops to destroy the violent hunting group, then the Caesar Empire may not be at risk of destruction.
"Your Highness, the most important thing in the empire now is to deal with the attack of the Dark Elf clan." Bane said slowly.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. With the elite soldiers and generals of the southern provinces left by the old duke, the dark elves' attack was only rampant for a while." Isabella said with a smile.
From Isabella's words, Bane heard some implicit meaning. Since the news of his father's assassination reached the southern provinces, the old subordinates of his father were extremely dissatisfied with the royal family. If it weren't for some rational old generals suppressing them, the southern provinces would have been in chaos at this time.
The meaning of Isabella's words was to allow Bane to give an order to the arrogant soldiers and generals in the southern provinces as a new grand duke. During the period when he went to fight to wipe out the violent hunting regiment, the invading army of the dark elves must be blocked from the hinterland of the empire.
"Well, okay, since that's the case, I will thank the Queen of the Queen on behalf of Emily. If there is nothing else, I will go down and prepare." After Bane said that, he bowed and walked out.
