Chapter 596: The News that was Quickly Transmitted
After a night’s rest, Kant’s power of the rules of war was completely restored, and Kant’s army recovered from their exhaustion. They were full of vitality and restored their peak status.
Kant had already sent some soldiers back to the City of Lion’s Heart for the spoils of war that they had obtained yesterday, except for Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese’s full set of armor, helmet, and weapons made of abyssal magic iron, as well as five of the world’s noble vests, made entirely of abyssal magic iron, the rest of the equipment was sold by Kant in exchange for the golden eagle.
At the same time, a major event happened last night.
Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, as the Grand Duke of the Dukedom of Leo, issued a statement, asking all the upper-class nobles of the South County to follow their oath and pledge their loyalty to Grand Duke Cameron and send troops to support the Lion Fort.
This was naturally treated as a joke by the upper-class nobles. They were currently busy escaping from the Dukedom of Leo. In their opinion, Baron Kant was so powerful that it was inevitable for him to conquer the Dukedom of Leo.
But what about after conquering the Dukedom of Leo? It was very likely that Baron Kant would lead a powerful army to suppress them in the South County. If they did not leave the Dukedom of Leo as soon as possible, then they would become the targets of Baron Kant.
They had paid a huge price and paid thousands of golden eagles to leave the City of Lion’s Heart. Wasn’t it to hurry up and pack up before Baron Kant suppressed the Lion Fort so that the entire family could escape from the Dukedom of Leo?
How could they wait to be suppressed by Baron Kant?
Cameron, Duke of Leo, was about to die. How could he dream of dragging them down with him?
Dream on!
In the eyes of the upper-class nobles in the South County, this was just wishful thinking. If it weren’t for the fact that Baron Kant didn’t accept the nobles’ allegiance, they wouldn’t have been able to take down Cameron, Duke of Leo. It was likely that Baron Kant’s army wasn’t the only ones surrounding the Lion Fort now. The upper-class nobles in the South County of the Dukedom of Leo didn’t mind adding insult to injury and helping Baron Kant to drive Cameron, Duke of Leo, off the throne. Thus, Baron Kant could successfully ascend to the throne and become the new Grand Duke of the Dukedom of Leo.
Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s declaration as Baron Cameron was ignored by all the upper-class nobles. There were even a few upper-class nobles who openly announced the betrayal of their pledge of allegiance 300 years ago, they directly issued a statement in response to Cameron, the Grand Duke of Leo. From today onwards, they would officially break away from the Dukedom of Leo and give up the status of a vassal of Cameron, Duke of Leo. They also made it clear that if the Duke of Leo wanted to pursue this matter, they were willing to bear any consequences.
This was complete bullying that the Lion Fort was now besieged by Baron Kant. They also did not feel that the Grand Duke of Cameron had any chance at all, which was why they made such a bold statement. Although it was not a drop in the well, it was still a naked betrayal at a critical moment, which also made people hate him.
On the Lion Fort’s side, faced with the betrayal of the upper-level noble families at a critical moment, the Lion Fort once again issued a statement, “The Rayleigh family, House family, and the Desai family have betrayed their oath, and they will be executed!”
The three families were the ones who forcefully issued the betrayal oath and renounced the identity of the Dukedom of Leo as a vassal. Seeing Cameron, Duke of Leo’s second statement, they all treated this as a joke.
All the upper-class noble families thought so.
After all, the Lion Fort had been surrounded by Baron Kant. Cameron, Duke of Leo, couldn’t take care of himself, so how could he take revenge on them?
However, only an hour had passed since the Lion Fort issued the second statement. Three upper-class noble families named in the Lion Fort’s statement had an extremely tragic accident.
The three upper-class noble families had pure bloodlines. As long as their bloodlines were thicker than a certain degree, all of them died miserably without any signs.
Not only that, because the phenomenon of intermarriage was very common among the upper-class noble families, even some of the other noble families also died. All of the dead had the bloodlines of the three upper-class noble families that were named.
At such a sensitive time, the news spread very quickly.
Suddenly, the blood of the three noble families was almost complete, which meant that the three families had been wiped out. The news spread like wings, and in just half an hour, everyone in the upper class of South County knew about it.
Then, Lion Fort issued another statement, “The fate of the three noble families was because they broke their oath of loyalty to the Cameron family 300 years ago, and Lion Fort took revenge on them. They brought this upon themselves and brought about their own destruction. If any of the upper-class noble families dared to betray the Grand Duke of Cameron at this moment, the fate of the three upper-class noble families would be a lesson for them.”
Kant’s heart sank when he received this news.
He knew that this must be the curse that the Cameron family had placed on the bloodline of the upper-class noble families since the founding of the country. The power of rules passed down by the Cameron family, and the rules controlled by the Cameron family’s noble families were the curse rules.
Therefore, it was not strange that they had the means to silently cast a curse on the blood of these upper-class noble families.
When the fate of the three upper-class noble families had been completely fermented in a short period of time, and the other upper-class noble families of South County were all in a state of panic, Lion Fort seized the opportunity to once again announce the statement that they had made at the beginning.
In Lion Fort, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, as the Grand Duke of the Dukedom of Leo, once again called on all the upper-class noble families in the South County to abide by the oath of loyalty to the Cameron family that they had made when the country was founded 300 years ago, at the moment when Lion Fort was in danger, they shall send troops to support the Lion Fort.
This time, no upper-class noble dared to treat this announcement as a joke.
They didn’t dare!
The destruction of the three upper-class noble families of South County was so easy and unpredictable that they were also worried. They didn’t know about the existence of the world noble families, and they didn’t even know how the Lion Fort destroyed the three upper-class noble families of South County.
This was not only a lesson from the past but also a blatant threat from the Lion Fort.
In essence, these upper-class noble families of the South County were no different from the three destroyed upper-class noble families. Since the Lion Fort had such a method to instantly destroy the three upper-class noble families, it meant that they also had the ability to easily destroy them.
They wanted to escape from the Dukedom of Leo because they wanted their family to survive and continue to develop. But now, the Dukedom of Leo easily blocked this path with the destruction of three upper-class noble families. If they dared to escape from the Dukedom of Leo, they would probably follow in the footsteps of the three upper-class noble families.
All the upper-class noble families halt their preparations to escape at the same time. Instead, they began to gather soldiers and prepare to support the Dukedom of Leo.
Rather than being inexplicably destroyed, it was better to join forces and fight Baron Kant. As long as they could win, no matter how heavy the losses, as long as their family was not destroyed, it was better than escaping from the Dukedom of Leo and being destroyed.
Although this kind of news made Kant feel a little more pressure, this kind of situation was already in his consideration, so he did not feel that he was caught unprepared.
