Chapter 403: Betrayal [Lelan]
The scene suddenly became silent.
The nobles who supported Mok doubted whether what they saw was true: Lelan sat there motionless, how did Mok get killed?
Where did that crossbow arrow come from?
Even Moduo was stunned: What's going on? It's different from what he had agreed before?
Shouldn't it be a knife? Why is it a crossbow with a weird shape? What kind of hidden weapon is this?
Wait, this...it seems to have become, the Duke was killed by me...?
Modo, who had drunk a lot, realized what was going on now; and this sudden situation made him a little confused;
However, the situation that made him even more "confused" appeared-
"Shameless thief!" Lelan shouted at the top of his lungs, picked up the pottery wine jar next to him, and smashed it at Modu's head;
The huge impact was accompanied by the sound of the shaking jar breaking. Moduo, who was so confused that he could no longer be confused, was directly hit under the table.
Lelan took advantage of the situation and fought instead of him - no no, this description is absolutely inaccurate.
Moduo, who had been stunned, had no way to make a counterattack at all; he just subconsciously pushed with his hands and elbows to resist;
But Lelan didn't shout that-
"You bastard, do you want to kill me together?" Lelan roared, "I will never spare you!"
You...what are you talking nonsense!
Modo, who was beaten even more difficult to think about the current situation, finally figured out what Lelan planned to do after being punched for more than ten times;
This guy...betrayed me! He planned to let me bear this crime!
Thinking of this, Modo tried hard to push Lelan away - as the leader of the Wrath of the North, he was definitely more powerful than Lelan;
He was about to stand up and to state Lelan's sinister plan to everyone present, but—
After Lelan was pushed away, he pulled out the arrow that passed through Modor's head and stabbed it on the wall, and then stabbed Modor;
In fact, Lelan didn't deceive him at all - the tip of this arrow was indeed forged by Deslap steel.
Modo's chest was pierced; he wanted to say something more, but the bright red foam that surged into his mouth;
In extreme despair and resentment, he fell to the ground and never got up again.
"Everyone, I have a very regretful news to tell you." Lelan walked to the lord's table with a serious expression and looked at all the nobles present;
The nobles looked at him with doubts and guards - what exactly does this guy want to do?
The current scene is different from everyone's expectations; Lelan, shouldn't your target be Mr. Mok? How did you kill Modo?
"First of all, I want to admit my mistakes." Lelan bowed to all the nobles present. "I was unable to expose Modo's ugly and foolish behavior to everyone in time, so that I could not shirk my responsibility to allow him to commit such a heinous crime!"
The nobles present were stunned for a while - but it didn't take long before the quick reaction came to figure out what was going on.
This guy... turned out to be killing a donkey!?
"I was waiting outside the city for Duke Makin Wall to return and hand over the military power to him - but I didn't expect that the one who came back first was a traitor!" Lelan pointed to Modo, who had lost his breath on the ground, "He threatened the wrath of the North and forced me to join his evil plan!"
"He wants me and him to force all the remaining nobles to join the camp of murdering the second young master; if anyone objected, he would destroy his team on the spot!" Lelan was so angry that he trembled all over, "I can't compete with the wrath of the North on the plains alone!"
The nobles looked at Lelan in two ways—one was with doubt and confusion, and obviously believed;
The other kind is cold and has a little helplessness: I'll see you continue to edit it.
"In order to preserve my strength, I can only choose to join him for the time being!" At this point, Lelan sighed heavily, and from his expression it seemed like he was subjected to such great coercion: "I didn't expect that I also discovered his bigger conspiracy!"
Lelan took a deep breath and shouted in the loudest possible voice:
"This despicable and shameless guy murdered Lord Makin Wall in order to gain the position of Duke of the North, and then lied that it was the work of the Assassin of Ryin!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire reception room was in an uproar.
Even the nobles who suspected that Lelan was acting and fabricated before began to believe that what he said was true-
Because Duke Majin, such a powerful general, would have been assassinated by the enemy in the camp, and was still the vulnerable Ryin Territory, which was really hard to believe;
On the contrary, this kind of thing is more like the one who has done it recently, such as...Modo.
"I took the evidence dictated by the soldiers beside him!" Lelan quickly took out a few rolls of parchment from his arms, "He did such an unreasonable thing, and then he wanted to murder Mr. Mok... I originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to stop him, but I didn't expect...ah!"
The nobles soon became quiet again - even if they wanted to do anything, they could not change the situation.
The nobles who supported Mog were obviously happy; no matter what, Mog was dead now and there was no threat to his future;
On the other side, they seemed a little regretful - although they still had soldiers in their hands, even if they captured Lelan, they could not let Mok come back to life.
It's hard to defend...
Seeing that both sides had already agreed to such a scene, Lelan was already full of joy.
This guy Modu is so stupid. He actually thinks he will work hard with him?
Although Modo is at the same level as himself in terms of kinship, his surname is Hui and not Wall after all. If he really competes for the position of acting duke, he will definitely not be able to gain any advantage;
Moreover, killing the current duke by yourself is a bad reputation when it is spreading - people still need some face.
Now, you take the blame and I enjoy the results. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?
The situation of the nobles on both sides is also under the control of Lelan; the current situation is in line with the interests of the nobles who support Mog, and the nobles who support Modo dare not act rashly because there are large army displays outside the city;
Next, you only need to support Mr. Mog to ascend to the throne of duke, and you can safely become the acting duke of the northern border;
As for whether to deal with this puppet at that time... it is naturally to see if he listens or not, hahaha...
The only thing that is a pity is that Ryin leads the way.
Lelan knew very well that even with his own level, it would take some time to make all the nobles in the city surrender - this was a relatively troublesome process and could not be rushed, after all, he was an outsider;
We can only talk about the conquest of Ryincheng later...
