Chapter 8 He Was Shocked

Henry was dressed neatly under the service of his exquisite maid, but he was greeted by a flustered family official.

"Master, bad news!"

Henry, who usually paid attention to etiquette, frowned, but his noble cultivation made him hold back his anger and calmly asked:

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Is Robin coming?"

"What's wrong with his temporary army?"

Thinking of this, Henry couldn't help laughing secretly. He had already known Robin's plan, but he was not anxious at all. What could he do even if Robin could successfully take over the Black Soil Castle?

He had also installed spies in the Black Soil Castle. As long as his army arrived, they would cooperate to open the gate of the castle. By then, how could Robin defend his army?

In order to occupy Rock County, Henry had planned for a long time. He had the most elite warriors and a large number of sharp weapons to attack the city. How could those temporarily assigned farmers be his opponents?

Thinking of this, he comforted his subordinate who was still wiping his sweat, "Don't panic. It should be them who are panicking!"

"No, sir!" The subordinate was a little scared and couldn't speak fluently.

"No? What happened?" Henry scolded impatiently.

"Robin is dead!"

"What? Is he dead? How could he die?"

This news was beyond Henry's expectation, which made him a little confused. Who could kill Robin? The child who only wanted to make a live?

How could the coward kill Robin?

There was a huge gap in strength between the two. Could Robin not even defeat a child?

"Tell me, what happened?"

The family official took out the leaflets all over the street and said breathlessly, "What the hell! It said that Robin was dead. Tom declared his sovereignty over Rock County and called on people to drive away the lord who planned to usurp the throne!"

After reading the leaflet, Henry's mind went blank.

Robin was beheaded by a loser. That loser even declared his sovereignty and let people mess around together anyway?

Henry used to be just a small lord of the count. He forcibly took over a large area of territory because he had a part of the military power.

He and his other relatives were just nominal leaders. Without the title bestowed by the queen, they were indeed a group of traitors.

In front of the great justice, the loser waved his arm. Maybe someone really took up the big flag with count and attacked them, who were trying to usurp the throne.

"How many of these leaflets are there?" Henry asked anxiously. He had to take them all away to minimize the impact.

"Almost all the streets are here!" The family official said with a bitter face.

"How did that loser make it? Didn't the patrolmen find anything unusual on their patrol at night?"

A trace of bitterness appeared on the family official's face. The soldiers on patrol also felt innocent. They didn't see anyone.

These leaflets seemed to appear out of nowhere. It was not until dawn that the soldiers on duty found the leaflets on the ground. What the hell.

The whole thing was weird. Henry felt scared when he thought about it. If his useless nephew was really pretending to be innocent and all he did was to deceive them. That was really terrible.

Looking around the whole of Rock County, Henry had always thought that his biggest opponent was Robin, and there was no other opponent like him. Now he thought it was only a matter of time for him to seize the position of the count.

He had been softhearted back then. He should have made little Tom a fool and controlled him by his side all the time. Then he could even use Tom to attack other small lords.

It was too late. Everything was too late. The key point was that he felt extremely strange to Tom. He didn't know how many armies Tom had, and whether he had property left behind by his family.

"Where are our spies? What news did they send back?"

"They didn't get any news. The spy who planted in Robin's mistress just got some inside information."

The family official hurriedly continued, "The former leader of the guards has surrendered to Tom. He is leading over 100 people of horsemen to take over the remaining forces of Robin. Everything went smoothly, but he met Kevin."

"I have an impression of Kevin. He is an ambitious man. Rod has met an opponent."

The family official analyzed, "It's a good thing for us. As long as Kevin has been dragging Rod's army, they can't come back in time. As time goes by, the captive soldiers will show their disagreement. We may be more relaxed than facing Robin."

Henry had already had a plan in his mind. He touched his beard and showed a gloomy smile. "Isn't little Tom going to blame those unkind people?"

"Why don't we hold up the flag of blaming unkind people to surround the Black Soil Castle? Tom, my nephew is waiting for me to rescue him."

Hearing this, the family official immediately flattered, "You are so smart. In an instant, Tom's plot has become our conspiracy. We are the army of justice!"
