PFC Chapter 130 Smiling Cullennan
Chapter 130 Smiling Cullennan
Bai Hao sat on the ground and stared at Kulonan with a strange smile on his face. Bai Hao had seen this smile at home before. This was a sign that Kulonan was about to show his terrifying fangs during business negotiations.
Seeing this, Elsa didn't say anything more. She absolutely believed that her husband could handle the current situation perfectly. Looking at Bai Hao who was covered in wounds, Elsa immediately squatted down with a look of heartache on her face.
Feeling Aisha's gentle water element healing magic, Bai Hao's tense body finally relaxed, so he asked softly: "How are the others on the Earth Dragon Beast?"
Aisha sighed softly and said, "As of when I left the Barony of Monte yesterday, most of the passengers and the guards and servants of the Campbell family have been found in various places. Only a very few people are as hard to find as you."
"That Xinglili..."
"If you had half the luck of Xing Lili, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. She suddenly appeared in the wizard tower in our manor a few days ago. Now she is also anxiously waiting for news from you in the Barony of Monte."
Bai Hao nodded slightly when he heard this, and his last worry disappeared. It seemed that the disturbance in Lady Ilia's fate was really purely random, but Bai Hao believed that the place where Youla appeared must be extremely comfortable.
With a smile on his face, Cullen looked around at the knights and mercenaries who were waiting in formation, and then he spoke slowly in the elegant tone that only aristocrats can speak: "I am Earl Campbell of the Omo Empire, Cullen Campbell. Even if you don't know me, you should at least know the Campbell family."
The Campbell family's business is spread across three countries and regions: Seth, Omo and Swart. The wealth they have accumulated is not only the richest earldom in the Omo Empire, but there are also only a few noble territories in the Three Kingdoms that can compare with them.
Then, a token and an emblem were controlled by Cullennan and flew steadily towards the sky above the Knights and Mercenaries. This was brought back by the messenger from the Campbell family a few days ago. It was a pass to the northwest of the empire signed by Emperor Swart himself, as well as the emblem of Earl Campbell.
Although the pass only authorized Campbell's army to conduct small-scale activities in the north and west of the Swart Empire, it was enough to confirm Kulonan's true identity.
After Cullen showed the two objects with special light, the people behind Kofsky began to discuss in a low voice, while Cullen waited for more than ten seconds without any impatience.
Then Cullennan continued in a loud voice: "These nearly one hundred people are the best scouts in my Campbell army. They are all battle mages of the wind elemental magician class. This time they have come to rescue Viscount Campbell."
What Cullonan meant was to tell everyone present that he had enough strength to fight against the Knights and the Mercenaries, and that even if the nearly one hundred great wind magicians were not good at fighting, it was impossible for them all to be killed here.
If Kuronan was determined to escape, even if an elementalist-class mage came, it would be difficult to trap the wind elemental magician who specialized in movement speed. What's more, the people Kuronan brought were all scouts of the army.
And Kofsky obviously knew this. After confirming the identities of these people who fell from the sky, Kofsky was left with only two choices: kill them to silence them or negotiate.
However, facing a group of army scouts with short blue hair, Kofsky knew that he could not kill them to silence them. Not even with Anan's full support. If just one scout escaped, what he had done today would be exposed.
Kofsky immediately gave a stiff smile, looked at the elegant and easy-going Cullen and saluted, saying: "I am staying in Kled Territory..."
Before Kofsky could finish, Cullen interrupted him and said loudly to the other knights and mercenaries: "I have understood clearly what happened today. It was the Knight Commander Kofsky who used his position to threaten you to come here. I regret this, but fortunately, Viscount Campbell is fine, and you have not committed any real unforgivable crime."
"Our Campbell family and the Krei family are good business partners, and Kevsky is trying to destroy the relationship between the two families. This is unfilial to Duke Krei, who is like his father. Kevsky knows that if his attempt to murder Viscount Campbell is exposed today, all the members of the Knights will be executed. This is unjust to his brother. At this moment, the Omo Empire and the Swart Empire are conducting strategic cooperation on the eastern battlefield, and Kevsky's behavior is tantamount to destroying the military cooperation between the two countries, which is disloyal to the empire."
Cullen smiled at Kofsky and said calmly, "For such a disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous person, what do you think Duke Krey or even the Emperor of the Swart Empire will choose between him and Campbell's main army?"
"The most taboo thing for an army fighting on the front line is instability in the rear. You say that Kofsky's intention to kill the allied nobles at this critical moment makes him a traitor to the Empire, a spy for the enemy, or even a thorn that hinders the prosperity of the two countries?"
Kofsky keenly noticed that the knights around him began to distance themselves from him, and even some harsh and explicit discussions began to become louder.
Kofsky immediately shouted: "Don't listen to the nonsense of this count who doesn't know whether it is true or not. Aren't there enough ways to imitate the emperor's seal now?"
"Stop struggling, Kofsky. Do you still want to drag your brothers who have been with you day and night into the abyss until the last moment? You are truly a disgrace to the name of a knight!"
Feeling the growing dissatisfaction of the Knights and Mercenaries, Cullennan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Brothers of the Mercenaries over there, my Campbell family is willing to pay three times the mercenary money as a reward for you to kill this traitor. The same goes for the knights of the Kled Knights!"
As soon as Cullennan finished speaking, the mercenaries immediately became lively. These money-hungry wandering mages had no loyalty at all. Gold coins were the only criterion for their actions, and Cullennan also gave them a legitimate reason.
The mutiny of the mercenary group at this moment not only greatly reduced the strength of Kofsky's side, but even some of the already wavering knights began to become restless. Cullen stopped talking and just watched Kofsky struggle quietly.
Although Kofsky kept preaching loudly, the facts were irrefutable evidence, and soon Kofsky's knights and mercenaries were divided into two camps.
Most of the mercenaries and a small number of knights who were dissatisfied with Kfus chose to rebel. Once a rift appeared within the camp, it would only grow bigger with the passage of time.
Soon, many weak-willed knights and those mercenaries who were originally fence-sitters also chose to stand against Kofsky.
Kofsky felt completely hopeless as he looked at the few people around him who were still loyal to him. He was still saying something as he looked at Cullennan who was still smiling at him from a distance, but the rebel knights and the mages of the mercenary group had already begun to scramble to release attack magic at Kofsky.
In this way, Cullennan eliminated Kofsky with just his mouth without even using any strength of his scout troops.
Looking at Kofsky who was engulfed by the attack magic, Bai Hao once again refreshed his understanding of his father's weak fighting ability.
