Chapter 1443 - 775: The Escaped Eagle Flock

Chapter 1443: Chapter 775: The Escaped Eagle Flock

Lance watched the interaction between the two with some amusement, starting to get a bit theatrical, huh?

It’s really hard to say anything clearly about Margaret’s situation, not even Lance can help, because the Earl is already dead, so all secrets are buried with him.

"Alright, let’s catch up later, let’s discuss business first."

"Who are you?"

After Lance spoke, he finally drew Bruce’s attention, or perhaps provided him a way to change the subject.

"Your father must often talk about me in your presence, maybe he considered me your enemy, but facts showed him who the real enemy is."

Lance uttered a strange, enigmatic comment, making Bruce somewhat conflicted, when did his father ever mention a foe?

"This gentleman is the Lord of Hamlet, the real owner of this land."

Lawrence couldn’t bear to watch anymore, reminding with a hint of shirking responsibility, as if indicating to Bruce—he is the real mastermind.

And Bruce, having received the hint, seemed to understand something, isn’t it Hamlet that’s been troubled by the evil cult? He paused before speaking.

"So it’s all your doing, right? Alvin was corrupted by the evil cult in Hamlet, it was—you!"

Saying this, Bruce suddenly gritted his teeth and roared angrily, his restricted body exploded with force as if trying to rush at Lance like a berserk tiger.

But Balistan quickly shield-smashed him back to the ground obediently.

Lance didn’t mind at all, he merely smiled and approached him, continuing to speak.

"You’re not wrong, indeed the evil cult came over from Hamlet, and in fact, it does relate somewhat to me, because they couldn’t defeat me and were driven out.

But Alvin wasn’t corrupted when he was redeemed, otherwise, he couldn’t have returned alive, and I even had people remind you that the evil cult was rampant in Bastia, hoping you’d take notice.

But clearly, you didn’t care, resulting in today’s outcome, merely blinded by greed, or perhaps you thought you had control."

Lance’s nonchalant words gave Bruce an undeniable answer.

Yes, regarding the evil cult, I told father many times, if only he took it seriously, if only I could...

"Release him."

With a casual command from Lance, Reynard hesitated little and lifted the longsword to cut the rope.

And freed from his bonds, Bruce instead calmed down, his look towards Lance full of caution.

"Why?"

"Do you have the nerve to ask me why? Because I came over to clean up the mess you fools created.

Have you seen those who froze to death on the roadside? Have you seen those selling their children? This is the good deed you trash have done on my land.

Damn it, being with you bunch of pests, how can the territory be healed!"

Saying this, Lance was already somewhat speechless, the infighting reached this level, the whole city was ruined, so many refugees, all the way, frozen corpses everywhere, ultimately requiring me to intervene.

"Fortunately, you’ve blocked off the city, whatever your reason, not letting them spread counts as some ability, later go help gather the refugees, tell the army to stop resisting, I dislike blood."

The reason Lance spared Bruce is because Lawrence mentioned earlier this guy has quite a reputation in the army, and wasn’t confident controlling it, now isn’t the time to dawdle.

Looking around, "Where’s Dismas?"

"The leader of the Eagle Flock noticed something out of the ordinary and escaped into the mountains with his people, Miss Grendel is leading people in pursuit, Dismas and those Barbarian Tribe warriors went too."

Yes, the one responsible for administering drugs here is none other than Grendel, moreover to control those knights and Bruce’s Champion Knights and those from the Church, most of the heroes were dispatched here, Lance alone was responsible for Lawrence’s side.

But who’d have thought someone would notice something suspicious, and flee with people, speaking of this, Lance remembered there was such a special troop under the Earl [Eagle Flock].

Laura uses them well, even Lance likes them, whether for reconnaissance, infiltration, or conveying messages they are very powerful.

Lance can also control birds, understand bird language, but most birds have weak consciousness, unlike humans, once separated, it loses effectiveness.

Emerging from the Mountain Barbarian Tribe, mastering a unique secret technique in bird training, can communicate with birds, borrow their power in secret techniques, making the body agile and nimble, doing things beyond human capability, and even obtain avian vision.

If killed, it’d be a waste, cultivating an Eagle Flock belonging to Hamlet would be much more convenient, for a moment Lance’s collector’s heart surfaced.

"I’ll go there myself, apart from Bruce, carry others away awaiting processing, Reynard select those soldiers in the army qualified to become trusted aides, when I return we shall enter the city to eliminate those cultists."

Lance then looked at Lawrence, "You and Bruce start processing those refugees, my officer will assist you, you just need to show your face and reassure them, the people of this land have suffered enough hardships, it shouldn’t be delayed further."

"Yes!"

Reynard and others responded, and as Lance turned to leave, promptly took others away, leaving just Bruce and Lawrence in the spacious tent.
