Dragoon Family's Silver Knight rushed into the pit regardless of the residual power of the spell in the air. He knelt on the ground and hugged Viscount Dragoon's light body with trembling hands. He placed his palms between Viscount Dragoon's noses with uncontrollable trembling.

"No, no!"

This Silver Knight was afraid, even when he faced the Golden Barbarian, he was extremely desperate at this moment.

The noble lord he was loyal to died in front of him.

"Kill them! Revenge for the Viscount!"

At this moment, the soldiers belonging to Viscount Dragoon became crazy. Even if the enemy had Rage Potion, they could not resist the anger of the noble who died in front of them.

From the rear, Baron Kendra's army finally arrived on the battlefield, surrounding all the knight armies. They also saw the death of a noble. Naturally, they were afraid of the soldiers composed of these slaves, but fear made the slaves dare not do anything to show off.

The death of a noble often means that a large number of slaves are punished and buried with them. They can only show the value of their lives by participating in the war at the risk of their own lives.

Especially when it seemed that the dead noble was still on their side.

Baron Enzo woke up. He was forcibly awakened. His eyes were red as he was seriously injured.

"Father!"

This war needs to be commanded by a noble. Those Lordship are not qualified. As the descendant of Viscount Dragoon, Baron Enzo is still a noble and must bear such responsibility.

"Kendra, send all your troops out!"

Enzo was roaring, his teeth were stained red with blood, his expression was ferocious, and his voice was extremely angry, even when facing Kendra.

Kendra on the other side was also gritting his teeth. He never thought that Viscount Dragoon would die on the battlefield, and that a viscount noble would die in a territorial war.

He was also angry about why Viscount Miles was like this, but at the same time, he also knew that if he did not perform well, no matter whether the war was won or lost, the death of the viscount would be blamed on all the nobles in this war.

Yes, all the nobles, as nobles, they are present but cannot prevent one noble from killing another noble. Whether it is Kendra or Baron Enzo, or even those Lordship, they all have unshirkable responsibilities.

"Charge and kill all those Miles Family troops!"

Kendra finally sent out the most elite troops around him, especially the dozens of troops composed of at least Formal Knight, to kill the infantry battlefield.

Beside him, Baron Roach also looked ugly. Viscount Dragoon is dead, so does the promise Viscount Dragoon made to him still count?

"Damn Miles, he dared to kill a noble, how dare he!"

Baron Roach roared in his heart, angry.

On the other side, Casto's chest was also rising and falling. He saw the death of Viscount Dragoon. A viscount noble died in front of him, and he was even personally involved in this matter.

"I'm not a noble yet, so I shouldn't... be remembered by the nobles of Northwind Province, right?"

He felt uneasy in his heart. The death of a noble was definitely not a trivial matter, especially a viscount.

Back when his father assassinated a Baron who was heading to the territory, he was careful and tried to arrange an unexpected death to cover up the truth of the assassination. But now a viscount noble died on the battlefield.

Fortunately, the person who killed him was another nobleman, a nobleman who did not live long and was also a viscount.

"The last thing my father wants is to draw the empire's attention to Northwind Province, but now a viscount has been killed in the war..."

Casto admitted that he regretted it. He didn't know what kind of storm Viscount Dragoon's death would cause, but if it attracted the empire's attention, his father would definitely blame him.

He thought a lot in his heart, and he no longer even cared about the outcome of this war.

The outcome of the war.

In this war, there was no winner or lose after the death of Viscount Dragoon, only the living and the dead remained.

Enzo frantically commanded the army to kill the troops of Viscount Miles and Casto until Twilight arrived, night fell, and the armies of both sides had to retreat under the dim sky.

With this retreat, Viscount Dragoon's army retreated to Viscount's Territory, and Viscount Miles also brought his army back to Zero Crossing City.

No one cared who won the war because a viscount died in the war.

But soon, Viscount Dragoon's eldest son, Ellis·Dragon, also died in Viscount's Territory. The news of being killed by the assassin spread throughout Zero Crossing Prefecture, turning into a storm and spreading throughout Northwind Province with the death of the viscount.

Flower of Northwind.

Ryan looked at the message in his hand and was a little surprised.

"Viscount Dragoon is dead, Viscount Miles killed it with magic."

Ryan was surprised, but his expression was well controlled. In his opinion, nobles were not immune to death.

And he even somewhat approved of Viscount Miles's approach.

He is about to die. If Dragon cannot be taken away before he dies, then even if Miles Family wins that war, Viscount Dragoon will only have to wait ten or twenty years. He can afford to wait, and he will still be able to start a war against the Miles Family by then.

Because Viscount Dragoon is very young, and Miles Family, no one can support Zero Crossing City after the death of Viscount Miles.

Ryan was surprised that Viscount Miles had such courage.

But the news that followed made Ryan's eyes darken.

"Ellis·Dragon had a finger-sized hole between his eyebrows. It was an injury penetrated by a thin sword. He died in the hands of an assassin."

Ryan felt anger rising in his heart. At this moment, he was finally sure who the assassin who attacked him came from.

In this war, will Viscount Dragoon kill his own people? Impossible, Viscount Miles Family? It can't be done, there is only Count Weiss who is on the side of Viscount Miles.

If I was 90% suspicious of the count before, now Ryan no longer needs to guess.

Only when we knew that Viscount Dragoon was bound to die was it necessary to assassinate Ellis. Otherwise, it would be too meaningless for those assassins to go past a viscount to kill the viscount's eldest son.

"Ryan."

Ryan came back to his senses and looked at Barnes and Lynn, as well as the Lordship around them.

Indeed, the death of Viscount Dragoon was the most shocking to these nobles. They could not imagine that a noble died in the war. Even if they knew the news, they could not help but doubt the authenticity and feel helpless in the face of this result.

But... is this the end?

The next day, Zero Crossing City news spread throughout Zero Crossing Prefecture.

The eldest son of Viscount Miles, Kristan·Miles, was found to have cheated on his stepmother, and was expelled from the Miles Family by the furious Viscount Miles.

Immediately afterwards, Viscount Miles, who was on his deathbed, established Rag·Miles as the heir of the Miles Family in front of everyone. He will become the master of the Miles Family after his death and become the new Viscount Miles.

Then, Viscount Miles couldn't wake up and seemed to be - dead.
