Chapter 509 - A Vacillating Decision
Chapter 509: A Vacillating Decision
The matter of Viscount Gibran had attracted a great deal of attention and discussion among the nobles in Dukedom of Leo. When Baron Kant accidentally forced out the true identity of Viscount Gibran, the first thing that all the nobles of the Dukedom of Leo chose to do was not believe it. They immediately sent spies to investigate the detailed information. When they received the detailed information, they had no choice but to accept the fact that the former hero of the dukedom was a devil’s lackey.
In the past, Viscount Gibran was a powerful noble who was almost on par with the six top-notch nobles of the South County. It was because he was in charge of the East County and supported Countess Agatha that Countess Agatha had the confidence to fall out with the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron. She had sealed off the East County and isolated it from the South County.
In the past year, there were two incidents among the matters that the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo were paying attention to. Firstly, Baron Kant’s discovery of the salt mine and his sudden rise to become a powerful noble that was on par with, or even surpassing, the six top noble families of the South County. Then it was the matter of Viscount Gibran revealed his evil true self was the most important one.
Therefore, Viscount Kemil’s sudden mention of this topic, even if it had nothing to do with resolving the current situation where the nobles of the South County were trapped in Seria Castle and were stuck between a rock and a hard place, had immediately aroused the fervent discussions of the noble families.
Clap, clap, clap!
Seeing that the nobles seemed to be unable to control themselves when talking about this topic, Viscount Kemil clapped his hands, interrupting the conversation of the nobles.
He mentioned viscount Gibran only to “throw a brick to attract a jade”, not really to listen to the views of the nobles towards Viscount Gibran.
Seeing that the many nobles had quieted down after he clapped his hands a few times, and once again cast his expectant gaze on him, Viscount Kemil was very satisfied, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
“Viscount Gibran was able to become the devil’s lackey on the battlefield ten years ago. He instantly gained great power and killed all the elites of the Silver Platter Kingdom with the help of some militia!”
“Why Baron Kant couldn’t do so?”
Viscount Kemil’s second sentence was spoken very slowly, and his cold eyes scanned all the noble families present.
In fact, Viscount Kemil used extraordinary power when he said this sentence. Perhaps it had already spread out of the meeting room and was heard by the grand knights guarding outside the meeting room.
When he said such words, without any evidence, he was slandering a noble. He would have to go to the noble’s court.
If it was proven to be slander in the end, the noble who would be slandered by him would see him as mortal enemy.
At the same time, he would also be ostracized by the entire noble circle.
The nobles needed to maintain a minimum of dignity.
There were some things that could be done but could not be said.
Just like what Viscount Kemil was saying now, if Viscount Kemil secretly sent people to spread rumors, nothing would happen.
However, Viscount Kemil did not do that. Instead, he directly said such a “slander” in front of so many noble families.
In the absence of evidence, this was a blatant slander and defamation. It would greatly affect Baron Kant’s reputation.
If Baron Kant found out about this, Viscount Kemil would become Baron Kant’s mortal enemy.
Just as Viscount Kemil expected, after all the noble families heard his crazy words, they all stood up from their seats in shock.
The baron who was sitting on the right side of Viscount Kemil was the first to speak. He asked Viscount Kemil in a stern voice, “Viscount Kemil, what evidence do you have for saying such words?”
Following that, many nobles spoke up as well.
“Viscount Kemil, you must give a satisfactory explanation for this matter. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being merciless!”
The baron, who was sitting at the left side of Viscount Kemil, also spoke unkindly.
“Viscount Kemil, if you don’t have any concrete evidence, please immediately retract your previous words!”
“Don’t think that we will go along with you. This is a feud that will never end with Baron Kant!”
There were not many idiots among the noble families. At this moment, they could all see through Viscount Kemil’s sinister intentions.
Viscount Kemil wanted to tie them to him and sully Baron Kant’s reputation.
All they needed was for Viscount Kemil and the noble families to say that Baron Kant’s strength came from the devil.
Then, before the truth came out, whether it was the sect of the God of War of the Dukedom of Leo, the sect of the God of Glory of the Silver Platter Kingdom, or the sect of Mother Earth of the Keyes Kingdom, the churches of the god of all human forces would not sit idly by. Instead, they would immediately send their troops to attack Baron Kant.
The enemy of the gods was the demons from the Abyss.
However, once Baron Kant proved that his strength had nothing to do with demons, the army sent by the sect of the God of War to attack Baron Kant would be immediately recalled.
Within the human race, the strength of churches and sects was inferior to the nobles’ strength. They would never dare to deal with a noble who was considered a top noble in the entire human race.
At that time, they, the nobles who slandered Baron Kant, would fight to the death with Baron Kant.
Moreover, they would suffer the rejection of the entire noble class.
The consequences would be very serious. All the nobles in the meeting room did not want to suffer such an outcome.
Even if Viscount Kemil’s method could indeed force Baron Kant to withdraw his power and use it to deal with the troops of the sects that were attacking him.
At the same time, they could also destroy North County noble alliance army and realize their original strategic plan.
But the risk was still too great!
If Baron Kant proved his innocence, they would be punished by Baron Kant. They did not think that they could stop Baron Kant’s army.
The Crimson Sect, which could be compared to the top noble families, was destroyed by Baron Kant in their own lair.
Viscount Kemil looked coldly at the nobles. He had long expected this scene.
The current Baron Kant was at the peak of his power. None of the nobles here were willing to truly offend Baron Kant.
They had only sent troops to bully the North County noble alliance army for the sake of benefits.
Although these noble families had indeed lost their homes and faced a dilemma, this was because they had not given up on the fight for benefits.
If they were willing to give up on benefits, they could still have choices.
They could either side with Baron Kant, support him against the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, or chase him off and become the new Grand Duke.
Or they could side with the Grand Duke of Leo. At that time, they would be able to obtain the support of the Grand Duke of Leo. At that time, it would not be so difficult to deal with the current situation.
After all, they were still nobles.
Although they were currently fighting against the North County noble alliance army, and Baron Kant’s powerful army as well.
However, they did not choose a side yet.
