Lord Wizard

Chapter 79 Kill

"Damn it!"

Seeing the army poised to move and about to spiral out of control, Earl Dawson was both alarmed and furious. He hastily invoked the banner of the Aden royal family: "Let's see who dares to surrender! The kingdom's army will soon march north. If you dare to defect now, you will surely die without a burial place in the future."

"The Aden royal family, if they wanted to come, they would have sent troops long ago. Why would they wait until now? I'll give you one minute. Those who kneel will live, those who stand will die."

As Lin Meng's ultimatum was issued, Earl Dawson's face turned ashen; he knew he had no chance of survival.

Rather than waiting for everyone to surrender, we might as well fight one more time.

Upon realizing this, Earl Dawson suddenly rushed toward the houses on both sides of the street, wanting to make a final stand.

"sucker Punch!"

Lin Meng did not make a move, but another great knight, Kidd, had already leaped into the air and chased Dawson into the roadside shop.

"grown ups……"

Harvey stepped forward, seemingly wanting to lead his men to block off the street.

Lin Meng shook his head.

Kidd rushed into the shop and saw a figure fly out and crash heavily to the ground, accompanied by splattering blood.

It was Earl Dawson.

He had a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on his chest, and blood was still gushing from the wound. If this continued, even if Kidd stopped attacking, he would surely die.

"My Lord Earl!"

Dennis and the others were shocked to see this.

"We are willing to surrender!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Tang Zhe and Mu Ni were the first to put down their weapons and kneel on the ground.

Two elite knights led the way in surrendering, and the rest of the group followed suit without hesitation, kneeling down and declaring, "We are willing to surrender!"

Looking at the large group of people kneeling in a row, Lin Meng nodded: "Gather the surrendered soldiers."

Soon a group of soldiers came out and dispersed all the surrendered troops to prevent any further complications.

Meanwhile, the nine knights under Earl Dawson's command were placed under the supervision of Zuoqiu and Hel, and temporarily placed under the personal care of Kidd.

Lin Meng dismounted and went to Viscount Krupp's side, calling out, "Grandpa!"

Viscount Krupp quickly stepped forward and grasped Lin Meng's hands, saying excitedly, "Good, good, good young man! You've really surprised me!"

Lin Meng smiled, looking at the man in his sixties, feeling a deep sense of gratitude towards him.

When he first entered the game, if he hadn't been entrusted with the Wildebeest Knights, his development wouldn't have been so rapid. Even now, the Wildebeest Knights are still one of the most powerful forces under his command.

"He's grown taller and stronger."

Krupp patted Lin Meng's arm happily and said, "Come here, these are your two uncles. They weren't in town when you came last time. They haven't seen you for many years."

Seeing Kers and Keko walk up to him, Lin Meng politely greeted them, "Uncle."

"Although we didn't see you last time, we've heard a lot about you in the last six months. You've brought great honor to our Krupp family."

Kers's face was filled with joy.

"Your father has been talking about you a lot. Now that you're here, spend some quality time with him."

Keko also said.

"it is good."

Lin Meng nodded, then looked at the dying Earl Dawson and said, "Grandfather, you are now in charge of dealing with Earl Dawson and his men!"

"You don't need to worry about me. You should handle this yourself. I'm too old."

Krupp knew that Lin Meng was already planning to put him in the position of city lord, so he declined.

"I won't stay in Carol City for long. No one else has the prestige to serve as the city lord except you. Besides, I only trust you and my maternal grandfather. If you feel busy, you can ask my uncle to help you with the government affairs."

Lin Meng said with a sincere expression.

"this……"

Krupp hesitated for a moment, then stopped refusing: "Then I'll stay in Carol City for a few years and look after it for you. When you have someone you can trust who you need to bring over, I'll step down as city lord."

"it is good."

Lin Meng smiled and nodded.

With the transfer of power complete, Viscount Krupp walked over to Earl Dawson, Dennis, and the others.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. You have no one to blame but yourself. Back then, you stole the earldom that originally belonged to me, and over the years you have been constantly suppressing our Krupp family. Did you ever think that this day would come?"

"That's what Viscount Krupp said."

"The kingdom... and Marquis Bill... will not let you get away with this."

Earl Dawson lay on the ground and spoke with difficulty.

"A month ago, the people who tried to assassinate me came from the Aden royal family. I gave them the body of one of the assassins in exchange for their tacit approval of my attack on Carol City. If they send troops, I will report this to the forces behind me. Then, together with the Frost Kingdom, they will have a pretext to attack the Aden Kingdom. Under such circumstances, do you think the people from the Aden royal family will still come to avenge you?"

Lin Meng spoke slowly from the side.

These words were not only spoken to Earl Dawson, but also to his knights, to dispel any wishful thinking they might have, and to provide Viscount Krupp with additional security in managing Carroll.

Otherwise, the Aden royal family would always be a heavy burden on their hearts, and even if they occupied the city of Carol, they would still be filled with anxiety.

"you……"

Earl Dawson opened his eyes wide.

Overwhelmed with anger, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

In addition to his already severe injuries, after vomiting blood, he collapsed completely and remained silent.

"grown ups!"

Dennis and the others cried out in grief.

"It seems you are utterly loyal to Earl Dawson. In that case, I will send you on your way, so that you may continue to express your loyalty to him in the afterlife."

Lin Meng looked at the group and raised his hand to give an order.

"Wait a minute."

Viscount Krupp said, "Dennis is quite capable. If he can surrender, it would be a good thing for the entire city of Carroll. Let's spare his life."

"Then we'll listen to Grandpa. Are you willing to follow Grandpa's orders?"

Lin Meng said.

Dennis glanced at Krupp, then at Lin Meng, and finally bowed respectfully to him, saying, "I am honored by Lord Krupp's high regard, and I am willing to serve him faithfully."

"Haha, great!"

Krupp helped Dennis up and said, "You are from Carol City, so you should understand that Carol City will definitely be better than Earl Dawson's under my and Leylin's rule. I hope we can work together to govern Carol City well and make it even more prosperous."

"Now that everything has been taken care of, let's head to Dawson's manor to prevent the soldiers left behind from causing any damage."

Lin Meng said.

It was, after all, a count's territory. Even though the two wars had depleted its strength, it still had some reserves.

Lin Meng now needs enough funds to buy an island to verify whether he can gain a power boost in the real world.

He didn't have high hopes for Carroll's savings, but even a small amount is still something, and having experienced poverty, he wasn't willing to give up any source of income.
