Chapter 71 Father, I will take responsibility for my mother's crime.

The dwarf who was speaking was not holding his ancestral Morse hammer, which would be a burden in this place and would easily get dirty.

In their place were two hatchets, the kind commonly used by dwarves.

"Don't worry, with this thing, Tilly will definitely be able to kill that bastard, and I, I will bring my ancestor's sledgehammer and my axe to help him deal with others!"

"I hope no one else will come by then, otherwise I will definitely let them know that the dwarf's hammer is not just for blacksmithing!"

The focus of Stonehenge's defense at that time will definitely be the outer fortress.

There probably wouldn't be anybody inside, not to mention they had their own secret passages and maps.

Moon was not worried that anything might happen to them. At most, they might not find where the old lion was hiding.

Thinking of this, Moen opened his mouth to remind:

"When I was in there, I heard that the Lion family had dug out the stone fortress themselves over the years. Although they only dug out a small room, that place was most likely the old lion's safe house."

"You must pay attention to this."

"Sir, I know where that room is."

"you know?"

Tilly nodded and said:

"I know. Before I was found out to be a damn dwarf, I was still a member of the Lion Family. I know that place. It's not a so-called safe house."

"These guys have always been superstitious about the fortress their ancestors left them."

“Although this turtle shell is indeed ridiculously hard.”

Is that so?
"Then I'm relieved. I won't be with you then, Mr. Tilly, so everything will depend on you."

Tilly looked at Moon seriously and said:

"I know that someone like you must have other more important things to do, so I will definitely not waste your time."

"Please go ahead and do your job at that time."

"And this damn old bastard, even if I die, I will definitely send him to hell and kiss the shit of ghosts!"

At the end, Tilly knelt down on one knee towards Moon and said:
"I must sincerely ask you to forgive my disrespect in advance. I also know that I have no qualifications and status to ask for your forgiveness and recognition."

"But please believe me, as long as I am still alive after this, my life will be yours."

Moen smiled and said:
"Don't be so serious, we are just getting what we need, Mr. Tilly."

"To you, yes, but not to me. You really saved my pathetic life of accomplishing nothing. This is far more important than my life!"

Looking at Tilly like this, Moon nodded and said:
"Then please remember, Mr. Tilly, you must survive and accept my arrangements."

"Don't worry, sir. I'm just not afraid of death, not looking forward to it."

Just as the old prime minister said, it happened at dawn the next day.

The Lion family’s army set out.

Before the South declares independence.

Because everyone can guess what will happen after the lost princess is found in the South.

So they have to create a time difference!

They were not prepared, but the Empire was simply not prepared!

The Shi family is the best preserved among the seven clans except for the southern clan.

At the same time, to express apologies to the Lu family.

The Lion family is responsible for taking the lead.

They first attacked Anras, one of the empire's two northern fortresses.

As long as we take this place, Grasse, the real gateway to the north of the empire, will become an isolated city.

Wait until the northern countries come south to cooperate with them to encircle and capture this isolated city.

Then the northern part of the empire would be completely open to them.

At the same time, this is also a necessary condition for the northern countries to agree to move south - they must capture the city of Anras to make the Glass Fortress an isolated city.

The process went even smoother than they had imagined.

When he discovered that there were two demigods from the Lion family, one of the Seven Lords, among the enemy army, the governor in charge of guarding the fortress actually took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Without the leadership of the governor, the army defending the city was forced to surrender in confusion because the city gate was opened by a traitor who had been bribed long ago.

The jester, who saw the whole process go smoothly, thought something might have gone wrong.

But the city of Anras has indeed fallen into their control.

The Fool had nothing else to say.

In order to prevent a false surrender, he could only say to the silent knight:
"Kill those troops who surrendered!"

This sentence made the cheering Lion Army fall into shock. Kill the surrendered? !

Or kill them Baratheons?
The Silent Knight also spoke, which was very rare:

"Don't even think about it!"

"This will be a hidden danger! Damn it, at least kill the officer!"

"I will place all the prisoners outside the city. Officers and soldiers will be divided into two camps, north and south, to guard them. But don't even think about killing the surrendered."

Without waiting for the Fool to continue.

The knight who had always been silent before walked up to him and said sternly:
"Are you, an outsider, trying to point fingers at me? I know what you are thinking. This is going too smoothly. So smoothly that you are wondering if it is a trap, right?"

"But I also want to tell you. If you kill those soldiers who surrender, then you can forget about our soldiers or even the soldiers from the north fighting bravely in the future."

"Because they know that if we don't accept surrender, then the other side won't accept it either, and because we killed the surrendered soldiers, the enemy will treat us even more harshly!"

Finally, he whispered:

"You have your concerns, and so do I. You are an outsider, but I am a general. There are still a lot of fierce battles to fight later, so shut up and let professionals do their professional work."

"If you really want to do something useful, then give us a few prophecies, even if it's just to trick them, but don't say such stupid things!"

"Because you're so dumb that I doubt you're the problem!"

The Fool said no more.

He saw the reactions of the Lion soldiers around him.

He still has to rely on them until everything is settled.

The Fool nodded and made his own prediction.

Pretty much the same as last time.

"Look forward to it, the turning point of the insignificant people is just around the corner!"

It seems that I was indeed overthinking it.

"It's still the same as the previous prophecy."

The shadow behind him also said this.

"Yes, just wait and see, wait for the insignificant thing to turn into the supreme being!"

The jester was very proud when he said this.

The three shadows still sneered and said:
“We’re looking forward to it!”
-
In the Stone Castle, the old lion was looking at the real-time battle report from the front line with satisfaction.

The governor who escaped has been caught. It was not a trap. He escaped only because he knew that the collapse of the empire was inevitable.

The clues found in his mansion also proved that he was preparing to escape after learning that the Duke of Southern Territory had a daughter.

But he didn't expect that he and others would arrive so soon.

It makes sense, no problem!
Sitting upright on the toilet, he raised his glass high and said:

"Cheers to the South Territory and the Master of the South Territory!"

"Hahaha!"

The Lion family relied entirely on the small room they had carved out, which was none other than this tiny bathroom.

Because it's too small, there's no way to make anything else out of it.

So I just made it into a bathroom.

This is also because this is the only place that was excavated by the Lion family's own strength.

So every generation of Dukes of the Lion family likes to stay here.

It's strange, but not strange.

In the room in front of the old lion, Mr. Tilly, with the rose crossbow, used the last bit of potion to push open the stone slab and get out.

After the bowstring is loaded, lift the crossbow and pull the trigger.

The crossbow arrow flew out silently.

In just a moment, the old lion's cry of pain was heard from behind the closed door.

Behind Tilly, the dwarf just crushed the sound insulation text.

Tilly continued to load and release arrows with an expressionless face. After repeating this several times, he pushed open the door.

The old lion, looking at the nail on the toilet, said in shock and anger:
"Father, I'm asking for my mother's punishment!"
