The Conspiracy Collapsed, and They All Surrendered
When Enzos and his men entered the manor, they found that the soldiers dressed in black had been forced into a corner of the manor by a group of well-equipped soldiers.
Faced with these ferocious enemies, the black-clad soldiers had been completely routed. Those who tried to fight back were killed on the spot. The only chance of survival was to throw down their weapons and surrender.
While Enzos and his men were stunned, Mabella secretly retreated. Just as she reached the gate, a troop of Cavalry suddenly appeared outside the manor and blocked the gate.
Enzos and his men also discovered that their retreat was blocked, and at this point, even if they wanted to retreat, there was nowhere to go.
However, Mabella seemed not to see the Cavalry and continued running out of the manor. Just as Enzos was about to remind her, he saw that Mabella had already run up to the Cavalry.
Mabella shouted, "I am Mabella, an undercover agent. Steward Magnus should have told you that."
A Cavalry leaped out of his horse, pulled Mabella onto it, and led her to the back of the Cavalry.
Seeing this, even if Enzos was slow-witted, he knew what had happened. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Mabella, you betrayed us! Have you gone mad?"
Enzos's voice was loud, and Mabella heard it too. "Enzos, don't blame me. It's your plan that was already known to Steward Magnus and Viscount Victor. Since you can't succeed anyway, I might as well sell you for a good price!"
Enzos nearly fainted from anger after hearing Mabella's words, but just then, the battle inside the manor was basically over, and the black-clad soldiers of the Rebellion were completely suppressed.
The elite troops who had finished fighting began to split up. One group continued to guard the captured black-clad soldiers, while another group, led by an officer, surrounded Enzos and his men.
When Enzos and his men realized they were surrounded, they raised their weapons to fight back, but some of them were trembling so badly they couldn't even lift their swords.
Enzos was about to shout at them, but when he saw the officer coming towards him, he said, "Depaul, I didn't expect your guards to be so powerful. We outnumbered you by more than two, yet you defeated us in such a short time."
Depaul sneered, "Enzos, you have great ambitions but little experience. With your bunch of scoundrels, you dare to covet the Count's title and even want to harm Young Master Brando and Viscount Victor. You are far too presumptuous."
"Fine, that's what frogs in a well are like. Quickly lay down your weapons and surrender, and I might spare your lives."
Enzos gritted his teeth. "Don't joke around. We've already made our move, why would we back down now? Besides, I don't believe that Viscount Victor and Steward Magnus will spare our lives."
"Why not?"
A voice suddenly broke through, and the surrounding soldiers quickly parted to make way, allowing Victor and Magnus to walk in from outside the encirclement.
Seeing the two men's calm and collected demeanor, Enzos couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Did you two come out at this time to laugh at us?"
Victor remained silent, but Steward Magnus spoke up, "Mr. Enzos, Count Black has been more than kind to you relatives, granting you so much power. He hopes you can help him govern the Great Oak Territory well and contribute to the survival of the Great Oak Family."
But what about you? You actually plotted Rebellion and even attempted to assassinate Count Black's only designated heir. Don't you feel ashamed?
Seeing Magnus speaking so righteously, Enzos was very displeased. He quickly retorted, "What right do you, a mere civil official, have to criticize us members of the Great Oak Family? Besides, your claim that Count Black has designated an heir is only your side of the story..."
But at that moment, one of his companions suddenly darted out and ran straight to Victor and Magnus. Just as Depaul was about to lead his men to stop him, he suddenly knelt down.
"Viscount Victor and Steward Magnus, I was wrong. I was too greedy and was deceived by Enzos and his men. I didn't want to hurt Young Master Brando. If I didn't comply, Enzos would kill me. Please be magnanimous and spare my life."
After saying that, he knelt down on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the ground, and remained motionless.
Soon a chain reaction occurred, and Enzos's companions all ran out and knelt down in his place.
"My lords, it was Enzos who forced us into this."
"Yes, he's the worst."
"Viscount Victor, Enzos also said that after the matter is accomplished, he will contact the Duchy's army to attack Golden Sunflower Territory together. It was all his idea."
Soon only two people remained by Enzos's side. Enzos looked at the people who had run away and felt extremely indignant. He couldn't understand why these people, even in this situation, still wanted to shift the blame onto him. Did those two people really think they could spare their lives?
