The flames in the fireplace danced and crackled from time to time.

Franco was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, dazed.

This is the darkest moment before dawn, and the night covers this land, quietly hiding the killing, sin, and blood.

There were footsteps behind him, but Franco didn't turn around.

"Father, the fire has all been put out. The chaos in Phoenix Butterfly Castle has also been calmed down." Earl Morrison came to the back of the wheelchair and reported softly.

Franco still looked out the window and said expressionlessly, "Have you found out the details of the enemy?"

Earl Morrison shook his head with a solemn expression: "No. These intruders are not afraid of death, and we have not caught a single survivor.

However, the invaders killed were all professionals, including troll warriors, human knights, and of course warriors, and some even recognized a knight from the east. "

"East?" Franco's brows were also deeply wrinkled, and he suddenly felt that everything in front of him had become confusing, making him completely unpredictable.

Just then, heavy footsteps sounded again.

Soon, a Morrison family knight appeared in the chamber and reported loudly:

"Lord Count, the invaders we killed have come back to life, and they have all escaped!"

"What?" Earl Morrison couldn't believe his ears. "You say it again."

The knight had no choice but to repeat it again.

At this time, Franco slowly retracted his gaze from the window, stared straight at the knight in front of him, and said coldly, "What is resurrection from the dead? Tell me."

The knight was also sweating profusely at the moment, and he also knew that what he said was too unbelievable, so he had to bite the bullet and explain:

"My lord, I would like to swear in the name of my ancestors that what I said just now is really not a lie!

Originally, we had collected the corpses of those intruders and prepared to deal with them centrally, but in the blink of an eye, these corpses were suddenly resurrected, killing the guards guarding around them.

Such a strange thing made the guards go crazy with fright, and they didn't dare to stop them... so they escaped from Phoenix Butterfly Castle again.

"

"Are you sure those intruders are already corpses?"

"This..." Facing Franco's soul torture, the knight was suddenly dumbfounded.

He couldn't say that the lying motionless on the ground with a few swords in his chest was not a corpse?

Franco squinted and thought for a moment before he ordered the maid behind him: "Cardina, go and interrogate the guards yourself to find out what happened."

"Yes, my lord." The maid nodded, walked to the knight's side, hooked her fingers, and motioned for him to follow her out.

The knight was amnesty, hurriedly bowed to Earl Morrison and Franco, and followed Cardina out of the chamber.

"Father, what's this... what's the situation?" The series of events that happened tonight made the young Earl Morrison panic, and his tone was trembling.

Franco looked at his terrified son, and rebuked him with hatred, "What are you panicking about?"

Earl Morrison hurriedly lowered his head, forcing his wandering eyes to focus on his toes, daring to face his father's sharp eyes again.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed, and it was so quiet that you could hear Earl Morrison's rapid heartbeat.

After a long while, when Earl Morrison's heartbeat finally calmed down, Franco's low voice sounded again:

"Do you know 'Winged Knight'?"

"Winged knight?" Earl Morrison was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. "You mean the flying knight who appeared in Silvermoon City and killed the last half-elf king?"

Franco nodded: "Yes, according to the information I got, the monster that flew out of the clock tower tonight should be the 'Winged Knight'."

Earl Morrison thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "Father, which force is this winged knight? How did he come to Phoenix Butterfly Castle?"

Franco pondered for a moment, then thoughtfully said: "I suspect that this winged knight should be the killer secretly cultivated by the Angele family!"

"Angele family?" Earl Morrison said in shock.

"Well, Viscount Angele just left the Phoenix Butterfly Castle on the front foot, and this winged knight came on the back foot. How could it be such a coincidence? What's more, when the coup d'etat in Silvermoon City happened, Viscount Angele was also present.

Once it may be a coincidence, if it is twice, there must be some kind of connection. "

After listening to Franco's explanation, Earl Morrison nodded in agreement, but then his face became panicked again:

"Father, if this is really arranged by Viscount Angele, then he must know the situation under the clock tower! This... how can this be done!"

Franco didn't speak, just stared at his son coldly, until the other party calmed down again, he said lightly:

"Just let him see what's going on under the clock tower? Does he know what that is?

Moreover, doesn't his Angele family have any secrets? Winged knights, as well as those professionals who are suspected of being undead, hum, I think the Angele family has no less things hidden in the darkness than us.

What's more, his primary target is still the Saint Theon family, and it is impossible to provoke us at this time. "

Earl Morrison was relieved. He let out a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he asked again:

"Father, do we still have to send messengers to Ice Rock City to discuss the matter of supplying food and sending troops?"

"Why not send it?" Franco said lightly, "Don't make a fuss just because the other party sees their secrets, the Angele family is our enemy or friend, and it's hard to say now.

You know, sometimes it is easier to gain trust by letting the other party hold a little bit of their own secrets. "

"Okay, I will send a messenger to Ice Rock City tomorrow."

As soon as Earl Morrison finished speaking, another figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Seeing that it was Madam Grace's maid, Franco asked, "Did your mother wake up too?"

"Yes, madam wants to know what happened?"

Franco turned to look at Earl Morrison and instructed: "Seiken, go and explain to mother."

"Yes, father." Earl Morrison responded quickly.

Shortly after they left, Franco's maid, Cardina, reappeared.

"My lord, I have personally asked. Those intruders did not all come back to life. There were three bodies left at the scene. Therefore, I suspect that the intruders who escaped were actually pretending to be dead."

"A bunch of idiots! Don't you know how to make up for the knife?" Franco cursed in a low voice, and stopped worrying about the matter, and instead ordered, "In the name of the earl, a seal order is issued, and everything tonight is not allowed. Leak!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Go, push me to the bottom of the clock tower to have a look."

The maid, Cardina, walked behind Franco and pushed the wheelchair out.

At this time, the castle has gradually returned to calm, but the guards on patrol still have a little panic and tension on their faces.

The fire has been completely extinguished, and the property damage is still being counted.

In the dark night, there were several suppressed cries from time to time. It was estimated that they lost their companions and family members in this battle.

With the sound of the creaking wooden wheels, Franco came to the bell tower.

At this time, the door of the bell tower has been completely damaged, and the floor of the building has also been knocked out of a big hole, like a deep and terrifying giant mouth, trying to swallow all the living things nearby.

The maid Cardina pushed the wheelchair to the hole. Seeing Franco nodded, she picked up the wheelchair and jumped down.
