Chapter 54: Conflict
The blood-red sword slashed through the throat of a shadow wolf, and as the blood drained, the shadow wolf staggered to the ground, splashing dust on the ground.
Zhao Xi shook the blood stains on the long sword, and after looking at the shadow wolves that were no longer alive around him, he retracted the long sword into its sheath with peace of mind.
After the surrounding mercenaries saw that there were no more enemies around, some of them were doing the ground with their butts, throwing their weapons aside and gasping for air.
Some of them wept as they looked at the corpses of their companions around them, while others could no longer grasp their weapons and let them fall to the ground.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but panic when he saw such a scene, the mercenaries in this battle suffered heavy casualties, more than a dozen mercenaries died, and almost all of the surviving mercenaries were injured.
Fortunately, with Cornelia in the war, the casualties would have been more visible, and the death toll would have doubled as much as it has now.
Zhao Xi was still struggling with whether to absorb the characteristics on the corpse, after all, the mercenaries had suffered heavy casualties, and it seemed a little unauthentic for him to take some of them.
Just as he was seriously thinking about it, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"You're the one who brought them in, right?"
This sentence attracted Zhao Xi's attention, he didn't know who said this sentence to whom, he raised his head only to find that everyone was looking at him.
Instead, an old acquaintance was looking at Zhao Xi with anger on his face, holding a corpse in his arms, his eyes full of hatred.
The person who roared at Zhao Xi was none other than the mercenary Il, who hated the divine arts, and it was Hood's corpse lying in his arms.
Zhao Xi felt that Yi'er's accusation against him was inexplicable, how could it be the shadow wolf he attracted, and what did it have to do with him.
"Why don't you speak, don't you dare to admit it?" Yi'er stared at Zhao Xi with red eyes.
"Me?" Zhao Xi pointed at himself with his finger and said, "What do I admit?"
At this time, Zhao Xi felt that Yier's behavior was a little funny, although he could understand Yier's grief for losing his companion, but this was not a reason for him to put all the blame on himself.
"You're still quibbling! Everyone involved in the battle can see it clearly. Ilr gently placed Hood's body on the ground.
"Are all the shadow wolves targeting you? and even they have thrown their opponents to besiege you, are these shadow wolves crazy?"
Zhao Xi didn't know how to refute this sentence, after all, all the shadow wolves, including the powerful shadow wolf leader, didn't look at him very well, and it was also a fact that he let go of his opponent and besieged him.
But what does this have to do with him, how does he know what kind of nerves these shadow wolves have, it is the first time they meet, but it seems that they have some deep hatred.
"Also, there are so many people in the camp, why can't the spirits find you and others? Even an innocent mercenary, both of these things are aimed at you, is it not related to you?"
The more Il spoke, the more excited he became, and he even wanted to reason with Don despite his own injuries.
"That's enough!" Dorn scolded, frowning.
"Captain, don't you doubt it? Hood is dead! He's dead! And so many brothers!
Il's eyes were red and he looked at Dorne in front of him, and said with tears in his eyes.
After the surviving mercenaries around heard Yi'er's words, they looked at Zhao Xi with some unclear meaning in their eyes.
Listening to Il's words, Dorn's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he saw that the eyes of the mercenaries around him began to be wrong, and secretly said that it was not good.
"I've said enough is enough, don't you even recognize me as captain?" Dorn scolded.
"But..."
Il was about to say something, but Dorne waved him off.
"No, but. ”
"Captain Dorne, please let him continue, I'd like to hear what else he has to say. ”
Zhao Xi said to Dorn with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and a cold light gradually flashed from inside.
"Il, he's just in a mood that's not right, you don't need to worry about him in general. Cook walked up and patted Donn on the shoulder.
"I'm sane now!Isn't what I'm saying the truth?" yelled with a red face.
"And then, what about the evidence? Just by the two things you said, you can put all the fault on me?" Zhao Xi said with a stiff neck.
"What are you arguing about?" a calm, powerful voice came from behind the crowd.
Buffy and Sid walked out of the carriage after seeing that the danger was lifted, and happened to see the scene of Yir and Zhao Xi arguing.
"Mr. Buffy, I think it's called Donn's..."
"You don't have to tell me about it, even though I'm old, my hearing is still good. Buffy interrupted Ir with a wave of his hand.
"You think the same way?" Buffy's gaze swept over the mercenaries present.
Some of the mercenaries who were more familiar with Zhao Xi didn't know how to react, but most of them were obviously moved by Yier's words.
"How come I haven't heard of anything that can attract both Wraiths and Shadow Wolves, you've seen them?" Buffy asked the mercenaries around him.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you won't, Mr. Buffy, in case..."
"So everything about you is also hypothetical?" Buffy glanced at Il, who was opposite.
"But—" Il still wanted to explain.
"Then can I doubt that you are deliberately splitting my team and trying to put me in danger?" Buffy said lightly.
"I definitely didn't mean that, I just—" Ill seemed to be taken aback by Buffy's words.
"Alright, that's all for that. Buffy said with a wave of his hand.
After speaking, Buffy slowly returned to his carriage with Sid, who was silent on the side, and the others did not say anything more.
But the seeds of doubt have been planted by Il, and it is only a matter of time before they take root.
Cornelia also came to Zhao Xi's side at this time, and didn't say anything, just stood silently behind him.
Daisy on the side also seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, she stayed where she was and didn't walk towards Zhao Xi.
"Oh, adulterer, adulteress. Il, seeing Cornelia standing behind Zhao Xi, muttered quietly.
As soon as he said that, he felt a terrifying murderous aura enveloping his body, and even because this murderous aura was too strong, his breathing was a little miserable.
"Dear Mr. Yier, my ears are a little bad, can you repeat what you just said?" Zhao Xi said with a smile.
"You... You... You—" Il wanted to say something, but could only repeat yours.
"Don't be like this, Don't do this, you have something to say. ”
Dorn felt the murderous aura emanating from Don, and directly shuddered, this young man had never released such a terrifying murderous aura even in the face of that terrifying giant wolf.
Cornelia on the side didn't expect that the mercenary she had worked so hard to treat would insult herself with such vicious words, and her face that had not changed for thousands of years began to change a little.
Then she looked at the other mercenaries, and the rest of the mercenaries didn't dare to look at her, and even a few of them even glared back.
Seeing such a situation, Cornelia's heart instantly cooled, and she didn't know what she had done wrong to provoke such insults.
"Donne, this Mr. Eir is a little emotional because of the sacrifice of his companion, I can understand it, I can assume that I didn't hear what he said about me, but I believe you also heard what he said just now, don't you think he owes an apology to his companion behind me?"
Zhao Xi turned his head to look at Dorne, although he was still smiling, the murderous aura emanating from his body did not weaken in the slightest, but became more and more terrifying.
"It's Yi'er's problem, but he can't speak because of your murderous aura, so you take back the murderous aura first, and I'll naturally let him give you an explanation." Dorn said with a forced smile.
He has never felt that his subordinates are so stupid, even if you doubt it, you don't have to say it to your face, and you have provoked a transcendent person many times, this feud can be great.
"Are you trying to kill someone because Il's discovered your secret?" shouted a mercenary with a face.
He was too far away to hear Il's muttering, he only saw that Il's was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and even the captain on the side was still laughing, which made him breathe a sigh of relief in his chest.
And he is also a person who is extremely hateful to the church like Il, so he naturally has no good feelings for Don and Cornelia, and when he sees Il's tragic situation, he can't help but feel the same hatred.
"Oh?"
Zhao Xi already wanted to listen to Dorne's words to solve this matter well, and he still had to hide in the caravan for the time being, so he couldn't make trouble to the point that he couldn't wait, and it was not too late to revenge Xiudrea, so he had to wronged her for the time being.
But the words of the strange mercenary once again provoked Zhao Xi's fire, even if he was sensible, he was just a teenager, and he had a good temper if he didn't draw his sword and kill Yi'er just now.
He gradually withdrew the murderous aura on his body, and stared at Il on the other side like a knife, wanting to hear what the mercenary could say.
Cornelia behind him didn't seem to want to stay in such a place anymore, so she tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Zhao Xi reached out and patted the back of her hand gently, telling her not to worry.
Cornelia on the side felt the temperature coming from Zhao Xi's palm, and her panicked mood gradually calmed down.
Regaining the ability to breathe, Ilr sat down on the ground and gasped for air, he really thought he was going to die.
"So, Mr. Eir, should you apologize to my companion for your inappropriate words and deeds? Zhao Xi said with a smile.
"Ahem, ahem, what... What?"
After a violent cough, Yi'er's whole state improved, and he glanced at Cornelia behind Zhao Xi, and a trace of naked hatred flashed in his eyes.
"You want me to apologize to the gods' lackeys? I can't!"
When he said this, a fierce murderous aura appeared around him again, and the killing intent contained in it seemed to freeze the air.
