Section 16 Conspiracy and Poison

When Schwab rushed into the Roveids, he saw the girl with the same appearance as Marty. She was surrounded by the Roveids and seemed to be a very important person. Before Schwab's sword was lifted, she was forced to stab to the other side.

"Why are you?" Schwab said in a muffled voice in his helmet, but because the sound of fighting around was too noisy, Shari did not hear Schwab's words. She just saw a black armored knight of Duke Hanruowei holding a sword as if he was about to chop at her.

"Be careful, my daughter." The Royal Guard of the Ruvid was standing next to him, raised his long-handled battle axe and chopped Schwab, and Shari took the opportunity to pull out the sword beside her and stabbed Schwab.

"Damn." Schwab's war horse was chopped by a battle axe, and a deep bloodstain flowed down from the side of the war horse. The war horse jumped up in pain. Schwab tried hard to grasp the horse's reins. Sari's sword stabbed Schwab's arm armor. Fortunately, Schwab's arm armor was made of cold forging, which strongly blocked Sari's sharp sword.

"Charge." The knights led by Earl Georg from the other side completely defeated the right wing of the Ruveds and pressed the Ruveds to move closer to the narrow place in the middle.

"Grass." Schwab knew that if he delayed this, he would be surrounded by the Ruvedes and chopped into meat sauce by the Ruvedes' battle axe.

"Shwab, we are here." Koro and Liugudi drove forward and used their swords and spears to disperse the Ovids surrounding Schwab.

"You guys take it for a while, I'll catch the enemy's leader." Schwab turned around and said to Koro and others, then ran forward in the direction of Sari, who was being pulled by several loyal Royal Guards of Ruvid and ran backwards.

"Stop him." Seeing Schwab chasing him, the Royal Guard of Roveid turned around, held the long-handled battle axe in his hand, and chopped the horse's hoof under Schwab's crotch. Schwab tightened the reins of the horse and asked the horse's front hoof to lift the battle axe, and then slashed the back of the Royal Guard of Roveid from the side of the horse.

"Hold it." Seeing Schwab chasing over, the stubborn Sari simply did not escape. She grabbed the reins of the horse and ran towards Schwab, running while running while slashing the sword horizontally.

"Good come." Seeing Sari running towards him, Schwab was overjoyed in his heart with the speed of the horse's running. At the moment when the two horses intersected, Schwab swung hard and accurately hit Sari's abdomen, then walked around behind her to grab the bearskin cloak, and captured Sari on his horse. Looking at Sari's painful appearance, Schwab regretted whether he was too heavy to attack, but he did not have a chance to hold on the battlefield.

"That's great." Seeing Schwab capture the leader of the Ruvids, Earl Baden and others were overjoyed. Their offensive became even more fierce. The knights threw away the rifles in their hands, drew their swords and rushed bravely into the place where the Ruvids gathered, swung their swords and slashed.

"Retake the princess." General Sauron urgently caught up with him. The people behind him ignored the other enemies and besieged in Schwab's direction.

"Sir, come here quickly." Koro and Liugudi solved the enemies beside them, protected Schwab from both sides and retreated to the rear. The Mark's spearmen aimed the spears in their hands at the pursuing Roved people, and then slowly retreated to cover Schwab's evacuation.

"Your Majesty, no, the enemy has captured your daughter." When King Regod got the news, he felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

"Retreat, let General Sauron and the others retreat." King Regod issued an order to retreat to his troops when his daughter was caught without hope of victory.

When the Novedes retreated completely from the battlefield, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the grass covered with corpses. The wounded soldiers helped each other to leave the battlefield in groups, while the commanders returned to their respective tents to plan the next plan.

"Good job, Sir Schwab, you captured the princess of the Oveids." Earl Baden said as he patted Schwab's shoulder. After interrogating some of the prisoners, Earl Baden said happily in the tent.

"How do you plan to deal with this royal member of the Ruewidian?" asked Duke Han Ruewi. Although the duke's identity is the commander of the entire army, the prisoners of war captured by the nobles are privately owned by the nobles. Whether it is extermination or exchange of ransom, it is the right of the nobles themselves. As a duke, it must also respect the rights of the nobles.

"Wait for the other party to exchange the ransom," Schwab said. Whether it is Shari's appearance similar to Marty or her respect for women, Schwab will not be too timid.

"Okay, what should I do next? The Ruvids suffered a loss today, so they wouldn't just let it go." Earl Georg said worriedly.

"Then let them come. We have won today and should celebrate it well." Earl Baden picked up the wine glass on the wooden table and raised it to Duke Hanrowei, Schwab and others. The attendants hurriedly gave wine to the Earl and Schwab in the tent.

"Has the Earl of Württemberg been found?" Duke Han Ruowei asked his servants casually.

"The Earl of Württemberg led his remaining troops to retreat directly to his territory."

"What? This coward." Earl Baden frowned and cursed. After Earl Georg was ambushed by the Novedes without permission, many of the attacked earls were frightened and directly led their troops back to their territory. If Schwab had not won the battle with advice, the other Counts who were in panic would have fled in all directions.

After drinking with Duke Hanrowei and several other counts in the tent, Schwab left on the grounds that he had military affairs. He wanted to meet the Princess Ruwid who looked like Marty, and to find out what the relationship between them was, but when he walked outside the tent, he was stopped by a knight.

"It's you." When Schwab turned around, he saw that it was Miller, the follower of Count Georg. Schwab was curious about this knight who was inseparable from Count Georg, and even complained in his heart that they would not be like being broken.

"Sir Schwab, I have something to come to you." Miller nodded and led Schwab to the shade of a tent. It was very quiet here. Miller looked around cautiously.

"What's wrong with you?" Schwab asked in confusion.

"Sir Schwab, I'm going to tell you a conspiracy." Miller nervously clenched his fist, as if he was very afraid of what he was about to say.

"There is no one here, let's talk." Miller's appearance made Schwab nervous. Although he did not show it on the surface, he unconsciously placed his hand on the side of the hilt of the sword.

"It's about the palace of Duke Han Ruowei and Lord Yas."

"Yas?" Schwab was very surprised. How could Miller have something to do with Yas.

"Actually, I am the spy that Yass puts it next to Lord Georg." Miller swallowed. Schwab knew that this was a person's performance in a nervous situation, so he patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Say it, Miller, I want to know everything."

"Yes, Yas helped me when I was very poor, and at that time I was a poor servant knight, my family was a declining nobleman, I didn't even have the money to buy armor and horses, and I had no money to hold the knight enthronement ceremony. Yas paid me for the solution, so I owe him a favor."

"Then what."

"So Yas asked me to come to Earl Georg and report some information to him secretly. I have been doing this for five years."

"Then, what made you betray him?" Schwab asked curiously. You should know that many attendants and knights could not become knights for life because they had no money to hold a ceasing ceremony. Yas could be said to have given Miller a great favor.

"Yes, until this war with the OVID, Yas actually deceived me and made me incite Count Georg to act without permission, which almost caused the Count to die. Therefore, I decided to betray him, even if my soul would go to hell."

"You." Schwab was a little surprised. This Miller was so loyal to Earl Georg.

"Yes, I love the Count more than myself." Miller misunderstood Schwab's meaning. He said with a little shyness, but Schwab felt chills and quickly put his hand off Miller's shoulders.

"Of course, no one has the right to pursue their own love." Schwab comforted awkwardly, but in this era it seems that homosexuality is not allowed, and Schwab knew many such reports in later generations, and it is no wonder that it is common for him to know many of these reports.

"Thank you, Sir Schwab, you are the first person to understand me. I did not find you wrong." Miller excitedly grabbed Schwab's hands, which made Schwab in a dilemma, and had to smile awkwardly.

"The personal choice is different, haha." Schwab didn't expect that Yas was quite capable, and such close spies were installed among the vassals of Duke Han Ruowei.

"By the way, there is another thing, Sir Schwab. I heard that Yas bought poison from the merchants of the United City-state of Amilan. I don't know what he is going to do, but please be careful." Miller said worriedly.

"Poison?" Schwab frowned. What does this Yas want to do? He wants to kill himself, but he is just a small person. He doesn't have to fight such a big fight. Could it be that he wants to attack the Duke? "Oh no."

"What's wrong? Lord Schwab." Miller was shocked by Schwab's sudden sound. When he saw Schwab's face suddenly turned blue and white.

"Let's go to the Duke's tent." Schwab had no time to say anything, and ran to the Duke's tent in three steps.

"Sir Schwab wait for me." Miller hurriedly followed Schwab. They were not far from Duke Han Ruowei's tent. Before they got close, they saw many people around Duke Han Ruowei's tent. Schwab felt a secretly complaining.

"What's wrong with the guard?" Schwab asked as he grabbed a guard with a long halberd, and the guard held the long halberd in his hand with a pale face and nervousness.

"The Duke is poisoned."

"What? Let me go in." Schwab pushed away the guards and walked in strode. Duke Hanrowei was lying on the carpet on the ground, his face was purple and difficult to breathe, but his eyes were still open, and he was surrounded by the nervous Earls of Baden and Earl Georg.

"Shwab, it's so bad. Lord Duke drank poisonous wine. He is almost dead." Earl Baden said in panic.

"Didn't you look for a doctor?" Schwab asked.

"I've found it, but it's too late."

"Come on those clear waters, hurry up." Schwab said loudly that the servants of Duke Hanrowei were at a loss. The young servants were shocked by this scene. Schwab's orders were like a sedative, which made them act immediately.

"What are you going to do? Sir Schwab." Earl Georg asked curiously.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here." At this time, a servant brought a bald old doctor. The doctor was carrying a medicine box that emitted greasy and asked. He came to Duke Han Ruowei without looking at the patient's condition. He opened the medicine box directly, took out a knife from it, and was about to scratch the duke's arm.

"What are you going to do?" Schwab immediately stopped the Mongolian doctor from his actions and grabbed the doctor's arm.

"You, you are hindering treatment." The bald doctor said angrily. Although he is a noble, he should also listen to professional doctors in treatment.

"Tell me first what you are going to do?" Schwab said angrily.

"Of course it's bloodletting, just let the toxic blood go away." After that, the doctor turned around and wanted to cut the Duke's arm vein with a knife.

"Get out, when you release the Duke's blood, it's time for the Duke to see God," Schwab pulled the doctor away and said.

"You, this is hindering treatment. If there is anything to do with the Duke, I will not be responsible." The doctor also said angrily.

"Why haven't you brought it yet?" Schwab frowned. If he didn't use the water to get the toxins, he would be absorbed by his stomach.

"Here, sir." A servant brought a can of water from outside with sweat. Schwab quickly helped Duke Han Ruowei up.

"Quickly, Lord Duke drinks the water to dilute the toxins and try to spit out the poison." Schwab poured the water into the duke's mouth. Because it was so violent, the duke began to cough and clear water flowed out of his mouth.

"Shwab, what are you doing?" Earls Baden and Earl Georg looked at Schwab's strange behavior in confusion. In this era, any disease in the hearts of people is dirty things in the blood, and only by letting go of the dirty things can one cure them.

"Old men, if you don't want the Duke to die, come and help me."

"Okay, how do we do it?"

"Fill water into the mouth of the Duke, and he still has the consciousness to let him spit out the things in his stomach." Schwab commanded Earls Baden and Earl Georg, and then poured a full can of water into the mouth of Duke Hanorvi, and the Duke began to vomit.

"Hmph, how can water cure poison?" The doctor muttered disdainfully beside him. In his opinion, these people are really amateurs. They don't understand medical knowledge at all, and they are completely messy.

"How is it? Will the Duke of Schwab be fine now?" Earl Baden asked after seeing Duke Hanrowei vomiting, his face was slightly healed.

"How much poison did the duke drink?" Schwab asked.

"After drinking half of the wine, he rolled to the ground, he said that a merchant gave him a bottle of good wine from the Kingdom of Amilan and the city-state, and poured it on us, and we had not yet drunk it because we were talking."

"Damn it, the toxins have not been relieved. The duke's consciousness has begun to blur. Is there any antidote?" Schwab looked at Duke Hanrowei, who was gradually dissipating his eyes and said to Earls of Baden and Earl Georg.

"What antidote? Is it the horn of a unicorn?" said Earl Baden.

"Damn it, no, by the way, find some milk, quickly, milk can wrap the toxins." Schwab scratched his head and said to Earl Baden and others.

"Yes, yes." A young servant said quickly.

"Hurry, find it for me." Schwab quickly ordered.

"Okay." The servant hurried out of the tent, and after a while, he returned to the tent with a can of milk in his arms.

"Give it to me quickly, child." Schwab took the milk and fed it into the mouth of Duke Han Ruowei. After pouring a lot of milk, Duke Han Ruowei vomited and his face gradually improved, but he was still in a state of confusion.

"What should I do next?" asked Count Baden.

"The rest depends on Duke Han Ruowei himself. Fortunately, he didn't drink much, so I believe he can defeat those poisons." Schwab wiped the sweat from his forehead and then placed Duke Han Ruowei flat on the carpet.

"Damn it, the despicable man did this kind of thing, I must kill him." Earl Baden held the hilt of his sword and said angrily. If that person was in front of him, Schwab could be sure that Earl Baden would definitely kill him.

"We have one more important thing now, the Earl of Baden." Schwab said with a frown.
