The twenty-plus people at the entrance, including the so-called "Great Lords," were dumbfounded, and so was Seel who came along.

Hobert spoke so casually, as if he were just deciding what to have for dinner.

However, each of these people had more than one blood debt on their hands, how could they obediently move away?

Yesterday, Seel had even discussed today's itinerary with his uncle Wayne. Wayne believed that Sir Hobert had no helpers in the territory and would first promise some benefits to the "Great Lords" to gain some ruling power, and then slowly squeeze them out after having some helpers.

But Seel didn't expect that the Sir would immediately ask the "Great Lords" to move.

Everyone was silent for a full four or five seconds before the twenty-something "Second Lord" smiled and said, "We will of course carry out the Sir's orders, but you have to give us time to find a new place to live."

He smiled and said, "We have prepared a table of wine and food, please come inside, Sir, and we can talk while we eat."

Hobert nodded, handed the horse to Roy, and then took Seel into the house with him.

The room where Hobert was invited was the place where the church used to hold worship services, but the holy emblem of life in the church had long been removed, and the seats on the ground had also been removed. Now there is only a large solid wood table with tableware already set on it.

Hobert only had himself and Seel, one sitting and one standing, while behind the two "Lords" opposite him stood twenty or thirty people!

Seel swallowed nervously, and despite being in the mountains in winter, he broke out in a cold sweat.

After the three people sat down, just as the "Second Lord" was about to order the dishes, Hobert coldly asked, "Did you kill Viscount Wright?"

The "Second Lord" finally couldn't bear it any longer: "This is our lord's mansion, not Bugas City, nor Feynapotter City!"

"How dare you be unreasonable to a nobleman!" Hobert drew his two-handed sword and slashed at the "Second Lord." He had already observed that only these two lords were Beyonders, and only of the "Low Sequence."

So Hobert didn't intend to waste words with them at all. Anyway, none of the people in this room were good people, so he would just start a massacre.

Although Hobert's sword was sharp, it was dodged by the "Second Lord." His movements were very agile, and every action seemed very light.

The others drew their cold weapons and rushed towards Hobert.

Hobert sneered, slightly sideways and rushed forward. The four people in front of him felt like a train had hit them, directly knocking them away.

While still in mid-air, blood spurted from their mouths, and they didn't land until they hit the wall. At this time, the necks of the people who were knocked away tilted, and they died directly.

When the "Great Lord" and "Second Lord" saw that the new Sir was so fierce, they turned around and left without thinking.

Hobert went after the "Second Lord" first, because he noticed that the "Second Lord's" Sequence seemed to be higher than the "Great Lord's."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the "Second Lord" shouted as he fled, "I am, I am a Theosophy…"

Hobert reached out and grabbed, stealing the "Second Lord's" thought of escaping, and went up with a sword to cut him in two: "I don't care what you are!"

After speaking, he turned to chase the "Great Lord."

The "Great Lord" didn't know why, but he didn't run towards the door! As a result, he was blocked by Hobert.

In fact, he was affected by Hobert's "Corruption" and made the wrong choice.

Looking at the "Great Lord's" subordinates again, some wanted to escape, and some cursed those who were escaping as cowards, and they even started fighting among themselves.

Seel in the crowd hugged the scabbard of his two-handed sword, shivering, not daring to move, feeling the warmth coming from his crotch.

Hobert sighed in his heart: This is the correct way to use "Corruption."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the "Great Lord" quickly explained while retreating: "I was not prepared to kill the Wright family at all, it was, it was Amos! It was the 'Second Lord' who kept encouraging me to kill!

"I don't know what happened that day, but I actually killed a viscount! I swear! That was not my intention!"

Hobert probably understood. Of course, he knew that the "Second Lord" named Amos was trying to tell him that he was a member of the "Theosophy Order."

Hobert remembered that the "Theosophy Order" was actually a vest of the "Demoness Sect," so Amos was likely a "Instigator!"

And before the "Instigator" was the "Assassin," so Amos's movements were so light.

At this moment, the "Great Lord" retreated to the wall. His panicked expression suddenly turned into a pursed smile. The wall behind him became illusory. He used the ability of "Opening Doors" to pass through the wall.

Hobert nodded. He remembered that the "Theosophy Order" had many Beyonders of the "Door" pathway in addition to the "Witch" pathway.

The "Great Lord's" ability matched this information.

Hobert used a "Blink" to chase out, and in the "Great Lord's" horror, he also cut him in two.

Returning to the room with the huge solid wood table again, Hobert held the sword in both hands and slashed at the crowd.

He seemed to be practicing swordsmanship, and he seemed to be cutting melons and vegetables. Every sword he struck reaped one or two lives.

The bandits in the other courtyards heard the screams coming from the main hall. They rushed over to support with weapons, but because the people inside were screaming so desperately, they didn't dare to go in and check.

Soon Hobert ended the lives of more than twenty people, took off his blood-stained cloak, and threw it on the table over there.

There was still a bandit who was seriously injured, struggling to crawl out.

Hobert handed the hilt of the sword to Seel: "This is the first test, kill him!"

Hobert was pointing to the bandit who was crawling out.

Seel took a deep breath, took the somewhat heavy two-handed sword, and quickly chased after him, but when he got close, like when he killed the sheep last time, his hands trembled violently.

Hobert didn't urge him, just watched quietly.

Just as the bandit was about to crawl out of the room, Seel, who had been shivering for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and stabbed forward.

"Ah!" Stabbed in the bandit's leg.

Seel quickly retracted his sword and stabbed again.

"Ah!" Stabbed in the bandit's butt.

This was not the end. Seel stabbed the bandit's lower back and shoulders one after another. Just when Hobert couldn't stand it anymore, Seel stabbed the bandit in the back of the heart, finally ending this round of torture.

Hobert saw a look of fear and excitement twisted together on Seel's face, and saw the light flashing in his eyes. Hobert was quite satisfied with the effect of this "Corruption."

But there were no obvious signs of digestion of the potion.

Hobert wondered if something was wrong? Did he have to use the ability of "Corruption" to make his subordinates dark and greedy?

Was Seel's mental state not twisted enough now? Was it not enough to digest the potion? Or was the direction wrong?
