After being put on such a show by the president of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, White hated it extremely, and cursed with a blue face: "Remember it for me——..." But his younger brother Alonso was killed, and a large area of the territory was divided by the Elf King to Alonso's children, which directly caused the vitality of the White aristocratic group to be greatly damaged. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info also made the Duke of the Republic of Vosfitta understand that because his power is too great, he has aroused the suspicion and vigilance of the supreme ruler.

White did not dare to buy large tracts of land directly to support the army, but asked his younger brother Alonso to do it instead of himself; Because, if Alonso survives, he will be the greatest contributor to the destruction of the Lars Empire.

The White Group will become more powerful and more powerful, and its fiefdom will be broader. The financial resources of this corrupt aristocratic group are already rivaled by the country. This will add another huge and unstable hidden factor to the rule of the Elven King Cleos. Therefore Alonso must die.

For the reign of the elven king Cleos, the so-called hidden danger of instability refers to: Emperor Jiluo, who led his troops into the territory of the Republic of Vosfita 26 years ago, approached the royal capital, and almost killed his old man. 2. Memphis, the only Marshal of the Republic of Vosfita who can compete with the Emperor of Jiluo in military dominance and personal force.

So White kept a low profile, completely lost his face, and took the initiative to visit Cliff with a generous gift, only to be shut up and wait for a whole day under the scorching sun, only to return in disgrace. Since then, Cliff and White have been bitter rivals.

Soon, the coalition forces, because of the chaos of law and order in Lars' post-war period, announced that they would suppress the rebellion and crack down on all crimes with the utmost severity. Many street thugs disturbed the law and order, and were immediately sentenced to death by hanging. The ruffians who were forgiven and accepted by Cliff realized how wise their choice was in the first place.

The day after Cliff returned home. A nobleman from Vosfitta, who called himself Lord Robut, came to visit and delivered a letter to the Lars Merchant: "Mr. Cliff, the President has sent me to deliver you a letter. Cliff opened the envelope and saw the handwriting and seal of the president of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce on the letter.

In his letter, the president instructed him to immediately prepare a consignment of weapons of good performance and rush to Bagram to meet with several very important guests. After reading the letter, the Lars merchant did not dare to delay for a moment, and set out from the port of Shevis with a convoy drawn by horses and foals.

A few days later, when Cliff's caravan crossed the Phineas River and camped to rest, he met the masked man in black again. The masked man in black led several bodyguards to leave two men with stuffed mouths and tied up like dead pigs, and told Lars Shangjia: "These two men will be handed over to you now..."

Then, they gave Cliff a pile of curiosities and left. The caravan of the Lars merchants continued along the road towards the town of Sida, and in a few days reached the vicinity of the village where Leonard and the others were staying.

At the same time, a militiaman who had given the order hurriedly ran into the living room where Leonard was resting, and reported: "Cliff's convoy has arrived outside the village. ”

When Hanks, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, heard this, he immediately jumped up from his seat, grabbed the blanket on the guest table in front of him, put it on his shoulder, and ordered: "You take us there immediately." Tina was sitting on a wooden chair at the living room table, reading a book unhurriedly.

Crotty was on an open lawn in the village, instructing Leonard and Bran in swordsmanship. The enthusiastic howl is very diligent in helping the local farmers in farming. The six men learned of the news one after another, packed their luggage, and followed the militia out of the village.

Tina saw Cliff from afar, stepped forward, and was the first to ask, smiling, "Excuse me, are you Cliff?"

As soon as Cliff saw Tina, he knelt down on one knee in the direction of the princess, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, my Cliff has been deeply favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and I hereby express my most sincere respect to you." "The Lars merchant had seen the wanted notices posted all over the streets of Port Shevis, so he immediately recognized the female mage.

Seeing this, Tina hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her hands, and was about to help Cliff: "Please get up." I have often heard my father mention that you are a great businessman who deserves great respect. Your Chamber of Commerce has done a lot of great things for the country. ”

When Cliff heard this, he didn't wait for Tina to get closer, he took the initiative to stand up, and his eyes couldn't help but sigh with tears: "It's a pity - His Majesty the Emperor is so wise..."

When Cliff said this, he didn't care. It's just that Tina heard this, covered her face with her right hand, and two lines of hot tears flowed down like a clear stream: "Father..."

Seeing this, Hanks, who was following Tina, knew that the female mage had not adjusted her mentality for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward and reminded Cliff, "Mr. Cliff. Let's get down to business. The mage took the opportunity to turn her back, took her handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the tears from her face.

Cliff turned to look at Hanks' face and asked, "Who are you?"

Hanks introduced himself: "My name is Hanks, and I used to be a general and a personal bodyguard for Her Royal Highness, but now, I am just a personal bodyguard for Her Royal Highness. ”

Later, the companions who walked with Hanks also introduced themselves: "I am a fearless warrior from Jiluo - howl. "I'm Leonard, who was the commander of the Republic of Vosfitta, the First Army, and the Second Swordsmen not long ago, and now I'm just a wanted criminal. "I'm Bran, and I'm also a wanted criminal. "I'm Crotty. ”

Cliff inquired further: "I heard you're going to Bagram?"

Hanks replied, "That's right. ”

Cliff continued: "I caught two people here. I've heard that they are important for you to find out the truth. Then the people followed the Lars merchant to a carriage carrying grain and grass. Cliff lifted the yellow straw that had been used to camouflage the wagon, revealing two men lying on the cargo compartment. The two men were bound with thick ropes so strong that they could barely move, and each had a tooth holder made of wood stuffed in their mouths, so that they could not shut up.

Bran instantly recognized one of them as the guide who had deceived them with Hawk/Ker, and pointed at the guy and shouted, "It's him——"

Seeing this, the guide widened his eyes in horror, twisted his body twice, and made a stumbling and indistinct voice from his mouth: "Hmm... Hmm..."

Cliff also pointed to the two men and said, "They are supposed to be the two guides involved in the plot to kidnap His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Seeing this, Tina pointed to these two people incomprehensibly and asked, "As citizens of the Lars Empire, why do you want to do such a thing, why do you want to trap your motherland in dire straits?"

Cliff further explained: "It's useless. They are all spies planted in our country by the elven king Cleos, born into a family of intelligence, and are extremely stubborn. Because these two guys are always racking their brains to kill themselves. That's why we tied them up like this and gaged them. ”

Tina was still puzzled and asked, "Even if you were born in a family of intelligence, there is no need to be so stubborn?"

Hanks, who was standing on the side, understood the two people in front of him very well, so he replied in place of Cliff: "Your Highness." First of all, being born into a family means taking responsibility for maintaining the honor of the family, even if it is at the cost of one's own life. Secondly, Cleos is always vicious. If they leak something that shouldn't be said, and it reaches the ears of the Elf King, the lives of the whole family, young and old, and even the entire family members, may not be able to be saved. ”

Tina continued to ask, "So what should we do next?"

Bran suddenly interjected and replied, "There should be a way to go to Bagram." ”

When Leonard heard this, he also interjected, and asked with interest: "What way?"

Bran then confidently explained the origin of the Crimson Flame: "Find Angeline." She inherited her mother's gift for illusion and excelled at using illusion to read other people's minds. The reason why the Crimson Flame is called the Crimson Flame. It's all because back then, the number one illusion master in the Farusion Continent, and Angelie's mother's title was also Crimson Flame.

Outsiders are so afraid of Crimson that they are used to calling my father's entire team of mercenaries, including Angeline's mother, Crimson Flame. My father simply changed the name of the group to Crimson Flame. This was thunderous at the time, and it was not lost to any team, the title of the strongest mercenary group in the Farusion Continent. ”

Hearing this, Crotty raised the Ghost Sword in his right hand and drew a crimson heart-shaped trajectory in the air to pay tribute to his deceased teammate and master illusionist. Like her mother, Angelie is extremely sensitive to all changes in the energy of spells around her, and is prone to a state of mental breakdown when using illusions, especially when she is attacked by enemies.

This situation will accumulate over time and will put a great burden on her physical and mental health. Angeline's mother died suddenly on the battlefield, and Andy and the others used spells to investigate and research, and only then did they figure out what was going on. Therefore, except for official competition occasions, Angelie generally does not participate in any fierce battles.

Cliff gave Leonard another valuable piece of information: "According to the information that our Chamber of Commerce has. The former vice president of the Mercenary Association **** is also an undercover agent of the Republic of Vosfita. Now he is taking up the position of head of the intelligence team of the First Army in the Republic of Vosfita. ”

Crotty, who is very aware of Clios's habit of treating Memphis as a big problem, heard this, and analyzed it objectively and calmly: "It seems that the Republic of Vosfeta is indeed involved in this matter. And there are all kinds of indications that the whole incident is not just a decision made by the Elven King himself."

Unable to find a suitable opportunity to interject, the howl, who had been waiting impatiently, finally reminded everyone: "In that case, let's hurry up and set off for Bagram." So the group boarded one of the wagons of the Cliff caravan, sat in a tent, and hid themselves from the eyes of the people. Then, the convoy of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce drove into Xida Town.

Passing through the checkpoint in Sida Town, Cliff showed the Silver Token given to him by the masked man in black to the Republic Commander of the Republic of Vosfitta, who was leading the patrol here: "We are shipping an important shipment to Bagram. ”

The commander recognized that this was a genuine token of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, and knew that the other party's origin was not small, and he didn't even dare to pretend to be an interrogator, so he immediately let him go with a very respectful attitude: "Please go slowly." "Because once the contraband is found, both parties can't get off the stage, and they can't explain to their bosses at all.

After some time, Tina, who was sitting in the carriage tent, asked her teammates: "After we get to Bagram and find out the truth, what should we do next?"

Bran replied without hesitation: "Of course, it is incognito, rebuilding the mercenary association with a new identity, and then continuing to venture around as a mercenary." ”

Leonard closed one of his eyes lightly and replied with a smile: "I just want to be a mercenary, so I can just mix it up comfortably." But the problems facing the continent of Farusion seem to be far from being as simple as they seem. ”

Leonard continued to joke: "But it's because the situation is not as simple as it seems. That's why you can find so much fun in this world. ”

When Crotty heard this, he didn't say anything, just opened his mouth and laughed slightly: "Hehe." ”

The howl was still the same cliché, holding his axe in his hand, and replied nonchalantly: "As long as justice can be done." I don't care what I'm going to do next. ”

Seeing that Hanks had been silent in the corner of the canopy, Tina asked him, "Hanks, where are you?"

Hanks and the other companions were the opposite of the calm and slightly ridiculous expression, straightened his face, and responded with an extremely serious attitude: "Of course, for the future liberation and great revival of our motherland, the Lars Empire, to wage a holy war;

Leonard, Bran, Crotty, and Howl don't want to see the continent of Farusion once again in the midst of a series of wars, nor do they want Frank's death at the hands of the Great Swordsman to be revealed. Because exposing the truth and bringing down the authority of the elven king Cleos does not mean that it is necessary to start a war between nations. The cause of the death of Emperor Lars is also an extremely difficult thing to clarify, and perhaps not to be understood at all.

By this time, the caravan had entered a large dense forest in the northern hills of Bagram, and was slowly moving along a tree-lined path covered with vegetation. With the chirping of birds, beasts, insects and pigs in the woods on both sides of the path. The bodyguards, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, jumped out of the carriage one after another, clutching their swords and axes, watching their surroundings with great vigilance, escorting the caravan all the way.

I saw that primates covered in fur flew rapidly in the air, swinging from the tops of one big tree to the branches of another. Hundreds of birds of various colors and belonging to several disciplines flew up from the forest in large and large swaths. There are also snakes with apricots in their mouths, and snakes of different sizes and flowers quietly coiling quietly in the branches of trees, or in the grass on both sides of the road, and they don't seem to be very peaceful. Countless flies, wasps and other insects flapped their wings and flew around, making a noisy buzzing sound.

After walking through the forest for most of the day, Cliff's caravan finally came to an open area, directly in front of a mound. Suddenly, I saw a tall bandit with a large iron rod on his shoulder, wearing leather armor, and wearing a red cloth towel on his face, jumped twice on the top of the mound, and rushed down with his legs.

The bandits, who had rushed down the mound, ran to the middle of the road, and stopped the way of the Cliff caravan, and with the iron rod in his hand pointing downward, he pressed his hands on the handle, and shouted in a very arrogant voice at the Lars merchant, "Stop—— I opened this way, and I planted this tree." If you want to cross this road, you must leave all the valuable things for Uncle Ben!"

Seeing this situation, the leader of the bodyguards guarding the caravan raised the halberd in his hand and pointed directly at the bandits blocking the road, and loudly advised the other party: "Where are the thieves? We are the convoy of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, if you don't want to die, get out of here!"

When the bandits who blocked the road heard this, not only did they not feel afraid, but they raised their heads very excitedly, and shouted loudly at the mound: "Sure enough, it's the convoy of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce! The little ones are coming out! We're going to do a big job——

With a voice echoing: "Yes, big brother!" "Big brother, we're coming!" A large group of masked bandits, also wearing leather armor and armed with axes and clubs, swarmed down from the top of the mound and rushed to their eldest brother's side.

Seeing that the name of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce couldn't scare the other party, the bodyguard leader immediately waved his hand and led dozens of subordinates to meet him: "Let's go." It seems that this gang of thieves will not know anything powerful. They won't give up. So, the bandits and the bodyguards rubbed their fists one by one, eager to show their abilities in such a fight.

Just when the two groups of people were ready to fight. The thief's eldest brother waved his hand and suddenly proposed to the leader of the bodyguards: "Wait." We're here just for money, and we don't want to hurt people's lives. Do you dare to send someone out to fight Uncle Ben alone? If you win. I'll let you pass. If only we had won. You're going to have to leave at least half of your possessions behind. When his younger brothers saw this, they all stopped their steps.

When the leader of the bodyguards heard this, he also stretched out his arms and stopped his subordinates from moving forward, and then put the halberd on the ground, turned around and bowed his head to Cliff, who was sitting in the first carriage, and saluted with his hands in fists, and confidently asked: "Sir." I'm sure of that. ”

Cliff was not in a hurry to call out to Leonard and them to come out to help, but was very much looking forward to the next performance of the bodyguard leader: "We really don't need to make a grudge against this gang of thieves. I agreed to their request. Go ahead and show what you're made of. ”

So the leader of the bodyguards turned around, pulled out his halberd from the ground, and greeted the boss of the bandits: "The master has agreed to your request." Just let the horses come. ”

The boss of the bandit didn't hesitate for a moment, and suddenly broke off and shouted: "Eat Uncle Ben's stick first!" I saw him rush forward, raise the iron rod high above the top with both hands, and slam it down on the leader of the bodyguard. Seeing this, the leader of the bodyguards jumped into the air, firmly grasped the halberd with both hands, and swept it horizontally, drawing a semicircular path, which was a thrust.

The iron rod struck the halberd. The bandit boss took the force from front to back, and retreated half a step backwards. The leader of the bodyguards received a top-down blow, stepped forward with his right leg, bent his knee and squatted for a while, feeling that his strength was obviously inferior to that of the other party. The bandit boss is muscular, and his body is a full head taller than the leader of the bodyguards.

Immediately afterwards, the boss of the bandit had enough strength to attach the magic energy to the iron rod, just like a sideways windmill, his hands firmly grasped the iron rod together, and his body rotated violently, and he came straight to the leader of the bodyguards: "How about trying this again? Big wheel!"

Seeing this, the leader of the bodyguard replied with a contemptuous smile: "This trick is really stupid." I saw that he was moving quickly, and at the same time, he followed the direction of the bandit boss's rotation, and used the halberd in his hand to take advantage of the situation and continuously slam the iron rod held by the opponent. This action of the bodyguard leader directly caused the bandit boss to spin faster and faster, dizzy and dazzling, and he couldn't distinguish the surrounding scenery at all.

Seeing this, the little brother standing behind the bandit boss suddenly shouted: "Big brother, on the right!" I saw that this little brother pulled the slingshot in his hand at the same time, and as he spoke, he fired a lit firecracker in the direction where the bodyguard leader was. With a snap! The firecracker landed at the feet of the bodyguard leader and exploded.

The bandit boss who had found the target position shouted: "Ah——" The muscles in his legs and waist suddenly exerted all the strength of his body, and stopped spinning, and his hands clenched the iron rod, and he threw a blow at the leader of the bodyguard as if he was playing baseball. With a snap—— a spherical, pure white rod wave was released.

The leader of the bodyguards had already taken precautions against this blow, and in a very short period of time, the whole body squatted down sharply, stretched his legs forward, sat on the ground with his hips, and inserted the handle of the war halberd in his hand into the ground;

The air wave smashed on the dirt road, and dust flew up. At the same time, the stick in the hand of the big thief brother was picked up by the leader of the bodyguard, not to mention, his body was kicked by the other party and he lost his balance and sat on the dirt road. Click!

The leader of the bodyguards held the halberd with his own hands, jumped up, stood up straight, held the halberd with one arm with his right hand, pointed to the faces of the bandits, and warned the other party with a polite expression: "Get out of here." ”

Seeing this, the bandit boss sitting on the dirt road shouted: "Little ones, immediately implement Plan B—— The bandits immediately threw several spell smoke bombs into the air, scattering and bursting in all directions, releasing a large stream of thick black smoke. Bang bang...

Seeing this, the leader of the bodyguards thought that the bandits were trying to outflank the convoy behind him, and shouted, "No! Hurry back and protect the convoy!" and in the smoke, he and his men ran back to the first carriage in which Cliff was riding. But when the smoke cleared, nothing happened. Suddenly, the figure of the bandit reappeared at the top of the mound. Immediately after, dozens of flaming arrows were fired from the crossbow machine in the hands of the mounds and bandits. Whoosh – whoosh – whoosh ——...

I saw that the bandit boss waved the iron rod in his hand proudly, stood arrogantly on the top of the mound, and led his little brother to shout loudly: "Shoot —— arrows to burn their carriages and kill their horses." See what else can they do?" the bodyguards were no slouch, raising their shields and waving their weapons, and then stopped all the flaming arrows fired at the convoy and knocked them to the ground. Most of the rockets fired by the bandits were deflected. The pressure on the bodyguards is not at all.

The leader of the bodyguards raised the halberd in his hand with one arm, pointed directly at the bandit's eldest brother again, and spoke loudly, advising and threatening the other party: "You guy! Does talking count!? I have already won against you." If you don't get out of here, just wait for death!"

When the thief's eldest brother heard this, he turned his back more and more frightened, twisted his ass/stock, jumped twice, shook the big iron rod in his hand, and replied loudly: "We are bandits." Can you believe the words of the bandits? I'm really scared. If you have a seed, come after us, and if you don't, you will obediently leave your possessions. Uncle Ben naturally won't make things difficult for you anymore. ”

Seeing this, the leader of the bodyguards could not help but be very annoyed, turned around, made another gesture at Cliff, and asked again: "Damn Mr. ——, please allow me to take someone to settle them." Otherwise, with the rocket blockade of the bandits, we would not have been able to cross this mound. ”

Cliff couldn't help but look a little worried and asked, "Are you sure?"

The leader of the bodyguards replied confidently: "No problem." That guy just now, no, the strength of this group is not worth mentioning at all. Just drive them down from the mound. The convoy will be able to pass through here safely. He found that the bandits were wielding the most inferior light crossbows, and that they were so poor at aiming that they could not pose a real threat if they had not been standing on the top of the mound and being condescending.

Thinking that Leonard could serve as a combat force, Cliff nodded his head and agreed to the request of the head of the bodyguard: "Okay, you can bring someone over." ”

Then the leader of the bodyguards turned around and shouted angrily: "If there is a kind, don't run away—— He led dozens of subordinates and rushed to the mound in front of him at once. Seeing this, the bandits, who numbered dozens of others, fired another wave of rockets at Cliff's convoy, then turned around and fled.
