The Sun King's Evidence

"Ahem, now that you two are here, let's get down to business." Oliver motioned to his guards Fuck and Mather to move the food on the table to the side, and a circle of parchment was placed on the table and spread out: "Lord Rejected the request for troops, but after hearing that we were friends of Mr. Lane, he gave us this.”

"Map?" Boris, the leader of the Blood Ax Mercenary Group, came, and so did Wilt, the deputy leader. Perhaps because Banda was seriously injured, the deputy leader was a little frowning.

"Exactly." Through the light of candles and oil lamps, a group of people sat around and listened to Oliver's introduction.

"We have twenty-three carriages and more than a hundred guards, and the Druid 'Arborist' Eldrad of the Church of Nature will also travel with us, plus Mr. Lane and Theresa Madam, with two legendary powerhouses sitting in charge, safety should be guaranteed."

Oliver spread out all the maps and put them on the round table. He pointed at the road from Kalzenhaven to Mjordenhaven. Ryan looked at it for a while. The road would pass through two mountains. The map indicated possible robbers. Brother The Bryn tribe and other monsters, the focus of which was the Beastman tribe. The caravan's expected route had to be deviated quite a bit because it had to avoid the Beastman tribe.

"Let's continue. The wanderers led by Birger will explore the road in front of us. If there is an emergency, they will return to the convoy and report to us as soon as possible." The little middle-aged man hidden in the cloak raised his hand to indicate , Ryan nodded slightly.

"The mercenary group led by Boris and our escort will be walking on the outer layer of the convoy. If they encounter an enemy approaching, they will fight the invading enemy immediately." Oliver added, and the mercenary leader raised his head upon seeing this. He picked up his big axe: "Those bastards just come over here! I will chop them up!"

"Ms. Theresa and Mr. Estelle will be in the middle of the convoy. Mr. Estelle will use his keen vision to monitor every move nearby, while using bows and arrows to provide us with protection. Please also ask Ms. Theresa Provide us with help, and then at the end of the convoy, several wandering knights who are traveling with us will follow on horseback to provide us with protection.”

"A very complete plan, a very detailed action plan." Ryan was quite satisfied with this plan. He stretched out his finger and pointed it at the front of the motorcade sketch: "Then I will ride a horse at the front, ready to deal with any... …”

"No, Mr. Lane, you should stay with us! It's safer this way, isn't it?" Oliver immediately added. Lane rolled his eyes and nodded with a smile: "That's okay."

"Let me tell you next." The speaker was replaced by Mats.

"On the first day, we expect to be able to reach the foot of Mount Hordalan..." As Mats' finger slowly moved on the map, the time plan was slowly revealed in front of the kingdom knights: "Third The fourth day is a difficult point. On the third day we will climb Mount Scarvell. There is an abandoned fortress in the valley of this mountain. It is very likely that bandits or goblins occupy it. If you want to be safe, If we pass here, we may need to launch a frontal attack on the fortress, or give a small gift to the owner of the fortress." Mats scratched his golden beard, which caused the half-elf ranger to complain dissatisfied: "Small gift? Blindly giving in will only lead to greater greed."

"I think Estelle is right. We have no reason to give in to a group of rabble. If necessary, I will show my strength to ensure that we pass safely. So what about the fourth day? What is the difficulty?" Ryan asked very much. I agree with the half-elf's point of view. Blind appeasement will only lead to more serious consequences.

"On the fourth day, we will arrive at the second half of Mount Scarvell. This is a dense forest. Various reports indicate that there are terrible beastmen in it. We have tried our best to avoid the beastmen in the design of the route. , but who knows if we will bump into them on a certain mountain road?" Oliver put his finger on a place marked with a black dot, and tapped it heavily: "Guard Chief Lauritz told us that there are already several knights. He disappeared after going to defeat the beastmen, so we must be especially careful when passing through this place."

The sorceress frowned. There were indeed very powerful beastmen among the beastmen. Moreover, these beasts were rough-skinned and fleshy, and did not take much magic damage. If there were beastmen that even several knights could not deal with, then Ryan could deal with them. What?

At this point, I can only believe him.

When they heard the name of the Beastmen, both the mercenaries and the guards were stunned in their movements and expressions. Many of them showed fear and shrinkage on their faces. The Beastmen continued to wreak havoc on the entire continent, and they had a terrible reputation. It has been continuously circulated that except for the knight kingdom of Britannia, which was able to clean up the scourge of beastmen in the country due to the efforts and sacrifices of several generations of knight kings, beastmen still exist in those ancient dense forests.

The empire and Britannia have to clear out these beastman tribes regularly every year, otherwise they will be overrun within two years, but even the most powerful imperial army rarely dares to enter the depths of the dense forest, and there are countless Exhaustive sneak attacks and harassment as well as fragile supply lines often cause the army to collapse without a fight and then disappear.

The Blood Ax Mercenary Group had a bloody battle with the Beastman Tribe in the Meen Forest just a few days ago. Boris felt frightened when he thought of that battle.

This was the biggest difficulty on the road. All the people around the round table fell into silence. The flickering candle light kept swinging. The general route was decided during the discussion. Finally, Oliver broke the silence: "Mr. Lane, We may stay for another day, and since a large number of people are stagnant in this town, we will try to find more partners, including wandering knights who are willing to accompany us to increase our success rate."

"Those people are not worthy of complete trust, Oliver. I hope you can carefully identify which people can be companions and which ones cannot." Ryan frowned, looking at the noisy environment in the long house, the collision between wine glasses, and the foam of beer in the air. Spreading among people, there was wanton carnival among people, and the exiled knight named Ike was bragging to a group of soldiers: "Brothers, have you heard of Bagman beer? Wow woo woo~ I think When I think about it, I'm already drunk~"

The exiled knights are also known as rogue knights, rogue knights, etc. While these knights are seeking to become regulars, they are also known to rob homes and even block roads. They are often a threat to local security.

"I understand!" Oliver responded naturally. The businessman naturally had his own plans, and Ryan couldn't say much. From some perspectives, he did need Oliver to organize a caravan. The sorceress's body had not recovered yet. , it is not a good choice for two people to set off rashly at this time.

After making a general plan, Ryan relaxed a little. He also participated in the banquet to his heart's content, eating and drinking freely until he felt someone pulling on the back of his shirt.

Um? Teresa?

"Want to leave?" Ryan noticed that Teresa's face was already a little impatient, so the man led her away from the round table: "Are you tired? How about you go first?"

"How long will this banquet last?" The sorceress did feel a little bored.

"It's estimated to be tomorrow morning... Do you want me to take you out?" This kind of country banquet can last until the next morning. In this era, there is a serious lack of entertainment methods after dark. Only the nobles have the money to use magic lamps for lighting. Things like oil lamps can't produce any decent effect, so when it gets dark, they can only roll on the sheets or something. In this case, the banquet provides a carnival environment, so this kind of banquet basically requires a carnival. Early in the morning or even at dawn.

"Why don't you come with me? Or do you want to find a woman to solve your ugly desires?" The sorceress stood in front of Ryan, her face full of contempt.

Ryan's face turned red. He had indeed hooked up with a widow just now and set a secret code. He didn't expect that his actions would be seen by the sorceress: "Well, if you must."

"Then let's go!" The sorceress reached out and pulled the man's collar without any politeness. The man had no choice but to apologize to the lord: "I'm sorry, I'll excuse you now."

"Hahahahahaha! Go, you don't have to accompany us old people!" Velarde laughed, the beer foam on his beard flying everywhere, and then he said to the courtiers beside him indifferently: "I heard that Gloria's Women all like to find a witcher after the banquet... Why has this woman changed her appetite today?"

"Hahahahahaha! She may be good at this! After all, Mr. Lane is definitely better than those demon hunters who soak in blood all day long. What a handsome young man!" some officers shouted.

"Maybe it's just that the relationship between these two people is good."

Amid everyone's speculation, Ryan and Teresa left the longhouse together. It was already very late at this time. There were stars in the night sky, and the icy cold air breathed into the lungs. Ryan couldn't help but shudder. , half awake from the wine, he lowered his head and gasped: "Why did you suddenly pull me out?"

"I hate their eyes. Men's eyes are always on my body. There are... many places on my body." The sorceress stamped her feet, stepping on the muddy ground with her thin high-heeled shoes, leaving a mark: "It really makes people feel... Disgusting, especially that exiled knight named Ike, who keeps looking at my legs!"

"My eyes have been staring at your legs. Beautiful things always make people want to admire them, right?" Ryan complained. The outside environment was dark, and he could only use his spiritual energy to feel the sorceress's position. .

"...I know you like stockings. Do you still remember the banquet where we met for the second time?"

"Remember...remember." The man had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"At that time, my mother and I were sitting next to each other. Then in the middle of the banquet, my mother went outside to discuss things with His Majesty Harald..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong! Dear Teresa, please don't mention this matter, okay?!" Ryan was immediately ashamed. He didn't care whether the sorceress could see it or not, he quickly clasped his hands and begged for mercy.

"Huh! Then you know what you should do." The sorceress's face was also a little red, but no one could see the other clearly in the dark environment, and the two of them just walked in a blurry direction.

"Then what should I do?" Ryan looked very embarrassed. He was still a young boy at the time. Although his actual mental age was almost fifty years old, his mental age was not as simple as adding up. He was Gui Mi Xin Qiao did something immoral, and now the sorceress caught him.

"By the way, I saw Wilt, the deputy leader of the Blood Axe, worried about what you said, and his expression became much more relaxed after that." Ryan immediately changed the topic, but he really wanted to know what happened: "He What did I say to you?"

"Wirt asked me if I would have to go through the same hard battle as before. If so, he would consider terminating the employment relationship between us." The sorceress's face didn't look like she was taking it seriously.

"Then how did you answer him?" Ryan thought to himself that it was indeed the case. This mission was really too dangerous. No mercenary regiment leader would take on such a mission that might lead to the destruction of the regiment.

"I told him no, Belt has already gone to sea, so he shouldn't encounter that kind of battle again, right?"

"It would be great if it's really what you think..." Ryan frowned. The sorceress was right, but he vaguely felt that things would not be that simple.

"Ryan."

"Um?"

"Be my partner, okay?"

"Emmm... Do you really want a partner instead of a beater... (whispering)?"

"Ryan!!!"

The night in Kalzenhaven is not quiet.

The ocean is even more choppy.

There is only a short strait between the Kingdom of Nord and the Northern Wasteland. The ocean in it is called the Sea of ​​Chaos. During the hundreds of years or more of the war between humans and the northern barbarians, countless things were buried under the Sea of ​​Chaos. of corpses.

The sea from the western outlet of the Kingdom of Nord is called the Dark Sea. This sea area is famous for being plundered by dark elf fleets. Whenever a dark elf pirate ship with black sails and black flags appears on the sea level, It is the nightmare of all merchant ships.

In the dark night, a speedboat was speeding along the waterway.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Don't worry about pirates and sea monsters! Hurry up!" There was a middle-aged man standing on the bow of the ship. He was wearing a tall hat, his collar was pulled high, and his voice was very low and hoarse.

"We are already moving at full speed with full sail, sir!" a sailor responded dissatisfiedly. This employer seemed not to want to sleep. He stood on the bow of the ship all the time, constantly urging them to speed up.

The sailors felt like they had had enough! Many of them work more than sixteen hours a day.

"Okay, shut up. Once this mission is over, you will benefit from it!" The first mate on the ship fiercely pushed away the sailors who wanted to argue: "After this voyage, everyone will have turkey to eat! "

The sailors dispersed in a hurry.

The middle-aged man watched the sailors return to their posts, and the scimitar at his waist was slowly sheathed.

He couldn't wait to sacrifice blood and glory for his new master,

But the first mate seemed to have noticed something and tried his best to prevent other sailors from approaching him, which made him give up the idea of ​​killing two sailors.

Ah ~ what a powerful force.

After telling his terrible master without reservation about the weaknesses of the northern fortresses, he received a generous reward, and the shackles of the realm that had not been broken through for many years were easily shattered under the strength of his master.

Although the changes in his body became more and more severe, his skin became redder and redder, sharp horns grew on his head, countless gray blood vessels covered his skin, and crazy proliferating nails appeared all over his body.

But he enjoyed it.

Everything he saw had a faint color of blood, which was the color of blood. The Blood God never asked about the origin of blood. He only asked his believers to enjoy blood and killing and compete for the strongest position.

Belt swore he was ready.

"Then, let's give those bastards who are still chasing me a taste of color!"

The ferocious scarlet eyes of the fallen hunter emitted red light.

He has made contact with a terrifying being.

emmm what to hit?
