Chapter 20: The Secret History of Firelight

Catherine blushed and glared at Lear, ashamed and annoyed, but did not deny it.

The other traitor mercenaries saw this scene and decided that the two of them had already had a relationship.

Cruise had a gloomy face and said to Catherine unwillingly: "Catherine, as long as you come back to me, I can treat the affairs of the two of you as if I don't know." If you still refuse, don't blame me for killing him, even if he's a noble heir!"

Lear sighed lightly: "Let's do it, mercenaries shouldn't point their weapons at the regimental commander, such mercenaries must die." ”

No one paid any attention to his words, but Catherine was slightly short, and there was a heavy stamping sound under her feet, and then the earth splattered, leaving a pair of deep footprints, and she herself rushed like a leopard to the two armed and crossbowed.

Before all the traitors could react, the long sword in Catherine's hand suddenly burst out with a faint red light, and the long sword with a fighting spirit cut off the heads of two people like cutting tofu.

"Puff ......" is full of blood, and the head falls to the ground.

"She's a swordsman! Catherine has become a junior swordsman! This can't be! This can't be!" Scar Los screamed as he stepped back, looking at Catherine in horror.

Catherine flicked her long sword in a dashing manner, pointed diagonally at the ground, the sword dissipated, and said calmly: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. She lowered her head, did not look at the crowd, her chest rose and fell sharply, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly—she did not want to kill her former comrades, but she had to.

The nine traitors looked at each other, each with a deep fear in the other's eyes—a reflection of their hearts.

Kai...... Catherine, I, I think I can explain......" Cruise flinched at the threat of death, and he voluntarily dropped his sword, and the rest let go, and the sword crackled and fell to the ground.

Catherine didn't look at them, but turned back and came to Susan.

"Catherine, listen to me, you've heard me speak from the truth. Cruise felt his face on fire, hot beyond words—he never thought he would bow his head in front of Catherine one day.

Catherine turned around and looked at Cruise.

Lear saw that Susan was holding the sword behind Catherine's back and was signaling something to Cruise with her eyes, but he didn't alert Catherine.

Cruise's eyes, which were originally gloomy, lit up, his face suddenly deformed, and he shouted, "Do it!" and then pounced on the nearest military crossbow.

The cunning old Sanker also pounced on the other army with a crossbow.

However, a cruel sneer appeared on Susan's face, and she said, "I'll just say you deserve to die." ”

Before she could finish her sentence, Catherine rushed over like a storm again, and her sword fell, and Cruise and Old Thorn broke their hands together, and fell to the ground rolling and wailing. The rest of the people looked numbly at what was happening, and did not dare to move.

They were completely stunned by Catherine, and they couldn't even see the trajectory of her sword, and in the face of the huge gap, they didn't have the courage to resist - everyone felt a chill running from their backs, it turned out that the head of the regiment was hiding so deeply.

Susan continued to speak venomously: "Catherine, see it, if you don't kill them, they will kill you!"

"Susan, you traitor, you don't want to die, you're going to hell, you devil-woman!......," Cruise scolded frantically in pain.

Susan looked at Cruise contemptuously and said, "Bah, a soft-boned bastard, a traitor like shit! Do you think you can buy an old lady for just 3,000 gold carats?

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! That's not how it is! Old Sanke told me that it was that old Coente who was jealous of my father's popularity, and was afraid that my father would rob him of his captain, so he killed my father! My father would never betray me! You are all liars! I should have been my father! I should have been the captain!" Crewe cried out frantically.

Susan spat at Cruise and scolded, "Dog mongrels are still dog mongrels! Why did the old leader die so early? It was your father's old bastard who attacked him with the bandits, but in the end, the old bastard and the old bastard died together." Before he died, the old regiment commander repeatedly told us not to tell you, because I didn't want you to feel guilty. But what have you done, bastard, as despicable as that old bastard!"

Lear was stunned, he didn't expect the little Flame Mercenary Group to have such a secret.

Cruise turned his head to look at old Thorn, his eyes red, and shouted frantically, "Old Thorn, tell me what's going on!

Old Sanke suddenly smiled miserably and said, "What else is there to say, back then, Coente got the Fighting Spirit Crystal to establish the Flame Mercenary Group, and we were not convinced. The most hateful thing is that his head is simply made of stone, and he demands that every sum of money be distributed fairly, if it is really fair, what else should I be as a deputy head of the regiment?

"At the peak of the Firelight Mercenary Group, the reserve was as high as 120,000, and Coente was ready to use this money to expand its strength and strive to make the Firelight a medium-sized mercenary group. So I joined forces with Coent, one in the dark and the other in the open, and finally bribed the bandits to kill him, and then divided the reserves equally and flew away. Ahem...... I didn't expect ...... Ahem, I didn't expect to fail......"

"No way! My father wouldn't be like that! You must have joined forces with Coent to frame my father, no way!" Cruise was furious, and his hands were broken and bleeding profusely, and he finally fainted.

Old Thorn lay on the ground, looked up at Catherine and Lear with difficulty, and asked, "When did you become a junior swordsman?"

Catherine turned her head to look at Lear, her expression was complicated, and she sighed lightly: "Three days ago." ”

"I see. Catherine, I was wrong, if I had known that you had become the Knight of Lear's Inheritance, I wouldn't have betrayed the Flame again. I'm getting old, but I'm more greedy, I'm sorry for Coent, I'm sorry for the firelight, Coente is a good man, he's going to heaven, I can only go to hell, go to hell......" Old Thorn's voice grew softer and softer, and finally fell silent.

A total of fifteen people escaped this time, four were killed, Cruise was unconscious, and there were seven traitors who had laid down their arms opposite, two of whom were seriously wounded.

Catherine looked at this scene, and her heart was even more sad, and her eyes were already the last strength of the Firelight Mercenary Group. She asked softly, "Susan, why did you stop me from intercepting Schmidt just now?" ”

When Schmidt kills Willis, Catherine tries to make a move, but is held by Susan.

Susan lost her usual good temper and sneered: "What did that kind of cowardly person do to save him? He doesn't even have the courage to stand on our side, how do I know if he will kill you again after you save him? You are just too soft-hearted, as stupid as the old master, if you have half the cold blood of Cruise father and son, the fire will not be like this! The old lady is blind to follow you. If I hadn't deliberately lured Cruise into doing it, maybe you would have let them go!"

Lear glanced at Susan curiously, not expecting her to have this side too.
