Lord of War

  On the open-air platform of Royce Manor, Earl Mario stood on the edge of the platform, looking into the distance with gloomy eyes. Judging from the blue veins emerging from his hands on the guardrail, we can know that Earl Mario’s heart is definitely not at peace at this time, and because of the hard work, his knuckles have faintly whitened. Everyone knows the Lord Earl at this moment. He was extremely angry, but no one knew why he was angry.

  Earl Mario's most trusted Martin, at this moment, is just standing on one side with his head down, not going forward, let alone a dozen other knights.

  At this moment, a door connected to the platform was suddenly opened, and a magician wearing a black robe walked in quickly. I don't know why, at the moment when he saw Mudds back, Martin suddenly felt a little relieved. He whispered to the count: "My lord, Mudds is back."

  Mario nodded, but did not turn his head back, but still stared into the distance.

  Waiting until Mudds walked to Mario’s side, the ambitious earl finally said: "How?"

"The two little ghosts don't know where they are going, I can't find them." Mudds shook his head. "After that, I stayed in Cerroda village for three days and still didn't wait for them, but they were in the village. The rooms rented by Luoda Village Inn are still reserved. I have learned that they paid half a month's rent in advance."

   "What are these two little ghosts doing?" Mario frowned.

"Adults can rest assured, I have summoned a little guy to play with them. As long as they return to the village, they will definitely fight that little guy." Mudds said softly, "Although I can't witness their fight with my own eyes, But we only need the results, don't we."

Count Mario finally nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, I only need results. As for other methods, they are just for results.... If the two little guys show enough potential, then He is eligible to receive my attention. How much potential he can show, it is worth my effort to invite him."

   When he said this, Mario still maintained the arrogance of being a nobleman. As if he was willing to come out and invite Sean and Cecilia to give them the greatest affirmation and face, they should be grateful for Dade’s acceptance-at least, including Mudds, Martin and others, they should all be so. Expressions.

  After groaning for a moment, Mario glanced sideways at Mulders, and his voice became a little sharper: "What is going on at the Medusa Chamber of Commerce?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl." Mudds's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest apology, but his head was slightly lowered. This is already the greatest respect he can show. "The Medusa Chamber of Commerce is temporarily unable to I'm here to provide you with any assistance. Polar Silver... has revoked Burwell's business leadership status and completely withdrew from the dispute. Now the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce can devote all its strength to confront us."

  "What about the attitude of the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance?"

   "Acquiesce." Mudds said softly, and everyone fell silent in an instant.

  After a long time, Mario suddenly punched the stone guardrail on the platform.

"Druen, that kid has begun to fight back." Mario looked angry. "Although he doesn't know that Fire Dragon Poison is ours, he also knows that he intends to fight with him for the right to inherit the lord. From the law of the kingdom, He has a higher priority than me, so now he has begun to intervene in rectifying the territory, and I can't intervene at all."

  Mario emphasized the word "we", his attitude is very obvious, that is, he wants to drag the Medusa Chamber of Commerce into the water.

  Undoubtedly, if Du Luen knows that Medusa is also involved in the perpetrators of his father, then at least in Tindes, the Medusa Chamber of Commerce will not need to do business. In addition to the Timbers, other lords who are considered ally with the Royce family will definitely refuse the entry of the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, so when the Medusa Chamber of Commerce chooses Mario Earl, they have already There is no way out.

"Druen has expanded the garrison of Timbersburg." Martin whispered to Mudds about what happened these days. "The veteran has already taken over the post of officer of the Defense Forces of Timbersburg, the entire garrison of Timbersburg. All are under his command.... Lord Earl, was asked to return under the name of Du Luen's foreign affairs and was not allowed to enter Timbersberg until the scale of Timbersberg's defense was re-arranged."

  Mudes now finally knows why Mario is so angry, this is a naked distrust. Although I don’t know whose idea came from, there’s no doubt that in this kind of righteous name to give orders, unless Mario turns his face on the spot with Druen, otherwise he can only leave Tindersberg in a desperate manner. For Mario, who pays great attention to facial issues, it is simply a slap in front of everyone.

   "What is the size of the garrison in Timbersberg now?" Mudds asked.

   "We only started to rectify two days ago, and we cleaned up a group of fish in troubled waters. Now there are less than a hundred people."

"Master Earl has no real power. Only fifty guards are allowed. In this case, fifty guards will be left, and everyone else will go to Tindesberg to sign up." Mudds said in a deep voice, "but the Cavaliers don't The need is over, they won't be trusted....We choose to hibernate for now, and wait until the time is right. As long as Du Luen doesn't know that the fire dragon poison is ours, we don't need to worry at all."

  Martin gave a wry smile: "My lord arranged for manpower to sign up for the defense army early in the morning, but..."

  Mudes raised his brows.

"That veteran named Peter was dealt with by the review system of the Kingdom Regular Army. Nearly two-thirds of the soldiers were eliminated." Martin looked helpless, "and now these people have exposed their identities. That kid Du Luen became suspicious, and it's no longer suitable for hiding."

"Let them go to the mercenary union." Mudds didn't even think about it, "but be careful, don't let them all be in the same mercenary group, it's better to split into four or five mercenaries, and then choose a small group of people. Go and join other mercenary groups and mix up the water."

   Hearing Mudds’s proposal, Martin suddenly brightened his eyes and immediately understood the insidiousness of Mudds’ move. Anyway, those people have turned their identities from the dark side to the identities of the face, so I spread them out and thrown into some other mercenary groups by the way, so that Du Luen has doubts about those mercenary groups, even if the other party knows that this is very important. It may be an illusion, but I would never dare to use these mercenary groups to do business.

  From this point, it can play a role in isolating Durun.

  Mario immediately understood the purpose of Mudes’s move, and the look on his face was slightly better: "So, about the ceremony?"

"All are ready." Mudds took out a dark red gem from his arms at this time and handed it to Earl Mario. "If it is not necessary, please consider it carefully. Once you use this gem, There is no turning back for you. Even if you win this war, you will not be able to inherit the Tindes Leader."

  This time, Mario didn't say anything, but his eyes became more gloomy. After a moment of silence, he finally took a fierce breath, then exhaled heavily, as if he was trying to increase his inner determination, and then put away the dark red gem.

  This is the end of the matter, and Mudds naturally wouldn't say anything. Even Martin and the other ten knights remained silent in a unified manner.

  Only when everyone's eyes look at that gem, will there be such a trace of anxiety.

  ...

  A few dozen kilometers away to the west of Royce Manor, a black hand suddenly broke out of the ground, crushing all the rocks covering the ground.

Judging from the slight vibrations on the ground and the constant tremor of those tiny stone chips, the punching out of this fist obviously used a very special ability, otherwise it would be impossible to produce such a strong follow-up reaction. .

I saw this black hand turned to rest on the edge, and after a while, a second hand of the same black was stretched out. These two hands were on the edge, and a figure was seen with a slight effort. Emerged from the ground. After climbing up from the ground, the man glanced around very vigilantly. After confirming that there was no danger, he squatted down and stretched his hands back into the ground behind him.

  This person is Alfred wearing a defective Bavarian arm armor.

  The entrance of this crypt channel, somehow, after everyone entered, it was covered again. It's no wonder that there was no one after Mudds came.

Alfred stretched out his hand to fish in the crypt and pulled Cecilia out, and then took out the pile of crypt demon weapons, and at the same time the one that had been carried by Sean. The package in the back. It’s just that there is no compressed instant dry food in this package. These foods have been eaten by them. After all, they have spent twelve days in this crypt. Now this backpack contains the previous cave. The last remaining spider egg and the ten grams of hard amber armor taken from the Crypt Demon.

   "Move faster! Those **** earthworm spiders are here again!"

Below   , Xiao En’s cry of a little horror came.

  Hearing this voice, Alfred did not dare to neglect, put the backpack in his hand into Cecilia's arms, turned around and leaned in again, and quickly dragged Sean, who was in charge of the queen, from the crypt. When I climbed out of the crypt, I didn’t forget to return my hand to shoot a Demon spider that was very close to Sean’s shoes back into the crypt. At the same time, he turned around and Sean took a pile of gravel beside him. All the gadgets were swept back into the crypt, completely filling the crypt.

  After all this was done, Sean and Alfred lay down on the ground in large fonts, panting heavily, and felt a kind of surviving pleasure.

  Twelve days from the start to the end, they not only faced the problem of insufficient food, but even encountered numerous dangers and troubles on the way back. Even if it is Sean, the clothes on his body have become messy at this moment, and blood is still overflowing on his back and thighs, which is obviously not lightly injured; and Alfred has a dozen more on his body. Fortunately, the scars were not fatal. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of them to come back alive just because of the amount of bleeding.

The only good thing is Cecilia, who is well protected, but even so, she still has a wound about three centimeters in length on her left abdomen, which was scratched by the front sting of a human face spider. .

   "Huh." After a long rest, Xiao En finally gained some strength, but he was also a little dizzy from hunger.

  If it weren't for the ability of "Desperate Life", as early as the moment of food shortage, Xiao En and others would really have to wait in the crypt to die.

"Go, let's go back to Cerroda Village." With a strong spirit, Sean stood up, "After two or three days of rest in Cerroda Village, we will leave Tindes and return to the Kingdom of Cerlian...We It's also time to start thinking about our mercenary group. Don't worry, as long as we stabilize, we will definitely come and pick up your daughter."

  Alfred didn't say anything, but nodded heavily, with a little more hope for a new life in his eyes.

  And Sean, after seeing Alfred nodding, he also glanced at his personal panel—

  【Combat Class: Warrior 7, Scholar Level 3】

  【Proficiency points remaining: 8】

  [Personal Attributes—Strength: 14+8 (18); Endurance: 15+3 (20); Agility: 12+8 (17); Wisdom: 10+5 (16); Will: 12+5 (19)]

   "Finally meet the requirements for transfer."
