When Eric hesitated, there was a loud noise from under the city gate. It was Willick who had already saved from the horse and hit the gate with a punch. The copper skin behind the door immediately bulged, and Willick made two more punches. The copper skin exploded immediately, the door bolt fell, and the door crashed down.

At this moment, the blood wolf knight's mind is blank.

"It's not good! It's not good, count!"

Lanza crashed into the earl's room, Giles was wiping a short-barreled gun. He deliberately pointed the gun at Lanza, who carefully avoided it, and then said: "Master Gilles, we are already surrounded."

"I'm not deaf, I can hear you very clearly." Giles shot the window door, blasted the window through a fist-sized hole, and stood up: "What about my army, where are they? I am going to strangle all these untouchables!"

"My lord, I don't think it's a good time to attack them. The knights and soldiers are blocking them. You should go with me." Lan Zha's voice ended when he heard a noise outside. After a while, a soldier stumbled in. He even fell and his helmet rolled to Lanzha's feet.

The soldier got up and shouted: "It's not good, my lord, they came in. We can't stop it, what should we do, Giles?"

This person is a young man from the Giles family. In a hurry, he has forgotten Giles' identity. He called his name directly, and when Giles' eyes flashed with anger, the earl raised his gun and shot. The flames flickered beside Lanzha, and Lanzha shrank his neck subconsciously before looking at it. A bullet hole appeared on the soldier's forehead, and a pool of blood rolled out. He looked at what Giles wanted to say, but fell to the ground.

"Trash, it's just some rioters, just kill them. What a panic!" Giles looked at Lanza: "You go out with me, I will kill them all."

The earl's eyes became frantic, Lan Za looked at the gun in his hand, did not dare to disobey, so he nodded in agreement. The two strode out of the study and walked along the corridor to the stairs. Giles didn't even want to run down, but Lanza dropped his head and ran away in the other direction. Giles turned around and saw that Lanza had disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

"Trash, even you betray me!"

Gills' roar came from a distance, and Lanza sneered. I want to go crazy with you, I'm really stupid.

A few random shots to vent his anger, Giles gasped. Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, but a group of people surged downstairs. First were two knights with silver armor and bright red cloaks. There are more than a dozen crusader swordsmen behind, watching them come menacingly. Giles put aside the rhetoric a while ago, screaming and raising his gun to shoot. The knight quickly raised the long shield, the power of the pistol could only nail a spark on the shield, and the knight behind was naturally unscathed.

Gills dropped the pistol altogether and turned to run. A knight threw the shield over and hit Giles on the back. The earl screamed and was knocked to the ground by the shield. Turning over again, a snow-white long sword stuck to his cheek deeply into the carpet next to him, and Giles saw his horrified face from the sword. He shouted: "You can't kill me, I am the earl! I am the earl of Giles!"

His cry echoed in the hallway, looking so ridiculous and feeble. The earl reluctantly got up and shrank to the wall. There were more and more people in front of him, and he was surrounded by people in a blink of an eye. Two knights crossed their swords in front of him to prevent him from escaping. The swordsman in the back made a way, and a few people came forward. Giles looked up, and it was Ruola at first, and Vera and the priest beside him.

Looking at the young man in the corner who had shrunk into a ball, a burst of unreasonable sadness suddenly appeared in her heart. I wondered how Oban would have a son like Giles. She shook her head, her eyes became sharp and said: "Gills, you are gone. Now listen to me, give the earl's position out, and give it to someone more suitable."

"A more suitable person? Is it you? Jola!" Giles exclaimed.

"No, the position of my brother will only be inherited by his children. You have several brothers and sisters, among them, I will choose a suitable candidate." Ruola looked at Giles and said flatly: "But No matter which one inherits, it will never be you!"

Gills laughed, nodded and said, "Well, everyone betrayed me anyway, and I have nothing to say. Just do it, I will write a statement now, and I will automatically give up Are you satisfied with the position of the earl?"

Jola breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Giles' cooperation. At the moment of her relaxation, Giles suddenly rushed over the two knights, slipped a dagger from the cuffs and stabs Ruola in the chest. If Ra's eyes lit up, she didn't stretch out her hand to take the sword. Directly grasp Giles's wrist, and then push it forward. Giles shook his body. He lowered his head and clearly saw that he was holding a dagger in his hand, but it was stuck in his chest.

He raised his head and exclaimed bitterly: "Rora, you bitch!"

If Ramen pushes forward without expression, Giles can't scream anymore, and a blood line runs down the corner of his mouth. His eyes widened, and he stretched out his other hand to catch Rora. In the end, he could only catch the air, and Giles fell to the ground, his body hit the carpet hard, shaking up a cloud of dust.

After a while, Ruola sighed and said: "It is said that Giles has passed away from illness, and the funeral shall be held for him according to the Earl's specifications."

Father Miró smiled and said: "On behalf of the church, I promise here that Earl Giles will have a beautiful funeral."

Ruola nodded, feeling tired in her heart.

The next day, the death knell representing the death of the earl was once again sounded in Ark Harbor. Less than half a year after the death of Earl Aubin, the city has sounded the death knell twice, but the death of Giles this time did not bring much sorrow to people. On the contrary, people are all happy, and they just can’t celebrate with drinking in public. After all, since the death knell has sounded, it means that Giles still retains the name of the earl and passed away, so the least respect must be given.

Even if it's just a superficial respect.

Rora held a grand and solemn funeral for the earl’s death. The earl’s hearse was driven by four black horses and four white horses. The knights of the Deep Sea Linji are dressed in black armor and white drapes, guarding them from left to right. After the convoy circled the city, it drove into the Christian cathedral. It was presided over by the father of God Milo, and the saint Vera prayed. Finally, twelve pairs of pure boys and girls sang hymns for the earl.

Amidst the natural sound of the child’s singing, those attending the funeral have no doubt that the earl will be able to reach heaven in the singing. In the hymn sung like an angel, the earl's coffin was sent to the family cemetery, buried next to the earl of Aubin. Ruola erected a monument for him, and everything was done in accordance with the specifications that the earl should have.

When the funeral is over, Giles's life will really come to an end. For more people, life begins anew.

Of course, Lanza is definitely not included.

Yesterday, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he managed to escape from the White Castle. It's a pity that the city gate guards have asked Ruola to replace her own people, and Lanza saw that the city gate was tightly closed and the guards were tight. He fled back, but was caught by people in the city. Since this period, Giles's changes have intensified and Lanza is inseparable from the relationship, and people have long hated this man who advised the earl. When Lan Zha was twisted before Ruola's eyes, the man who focused on image and was more beautiful than women was bruised.

Ruola threw him into the jail, and at first Lanza yelled that Ruola would let him go. But in the next few days, Lan Zha found desperately that Ruola neither interrogated him nor tortured him. Just being indifferent to him, looking at this situation, is to put him in jail.

Is there anything more terrifying than being forgotten? That obviously didn't.

At least, for Lanza.

It's just that Lanza was half right. Ruola really hated him, but he didn't really ignore him. Only after Giles died, his siblings were still young. Ruola had to temporarily take over his position and deal with the delayed affairs of Ark Harbor day and night. Among Giles' brothers, she preferred the boy named Yate. Yate is eight years younger than Giles, but although he is small, he has shown his talents in many ways.

After Ruola made a decision, Milo and Vera quietly took Yate away in the evening. Yate will be left in the church to receive comprehensive training in politics, military, and even personal force. This is the promise made by the church to Ruola, and now is the time to fulfill the promise. After the bauhinia-collared academy "Light of Honor" is established, Yate will be transferred to the academy for further studies. The most important thing is that the future Earl of Ark Harbor will be closely linked with Allen for this reason.

In fact, this is the ultimate goal of Honor Light. While this academy continues to export all kinds of talents to the empire, it also means that Allen's connections will cover the entire empire and penetrate into every class of the country. This is a long-term plan, and there is not much return in the initial stage. However, if the time dimension is moved forward for ten or eight years, it is not difficult to find that the benefits are huge.

It's another late night.

After finishing the conversation with a dozen important figures in Willa and Ark Harbor, and constructing a preliminary blueprint for the city’s plans for the next ten years, Ruola dragged his exhausted steps back to his home in White Fort. room. She refuses to move into the bedroom where the earl has lived for generations, preferring to choose her previous residence. One is to respect Auban, and the other is to tell the outside world that she is only temporarily acting as a lord, and she must always hand over this power.

This approach of Ruola received support from within the family, and it also made many people feel relieved. Otherwise, Ruola really had the intention of inheriting the title. Although it is more difficult to operate, it is not impossible to succeed. If you marry the son of the Marquis of Iron Spear at that time, it is hard to say in whose heart this territory will be. And that is definitely something that many people don't want to see, Ruola naturally knows.

She was lying on the bed, but she thought of that person in her heart. If he is willing to help himself, maybe he won't have to be so tired.
