Leonard and the others arrived at the southern gate of Mandoria. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Crotty instructed his subordinates: "Leave me alone, go to the bank of the Kulen River first, bury and dispose of all the corpses there, and then return to the place of departure on your own." ”

The captain of the Samurai replied, "Yes!"

Howl also stood in front of the warriors of his tribe and instructed loudly: "You should also go to the banks of the Kulun River to bury the bodies of those warriors, and then return to Jiluo yourself." ”

When an orc hammer soldier heard this, he stood up and asked in a rough voice, "Aren't you going to return to Jiluo with us?"

Hearing this, a cat meow sounded from his mouth, and he replied in a different tone: "Meow... Meow said. I have my own arrangements. ”

Leonard, who was standing next to Howling, reacted very quickly, and immediately asked with interest: "Meow?

Hearing this, sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead (but because he was a long-haired orc, others couldn't tell that he was sweating), and while swinging his palms a few times at the warriors of his tribe, he made a gesture not to talk nonsense, and coughed, and hurriedly explained: "Ahem-meow is just an onomatopoeia, which represents an emphatic meaning in Jiluo." ”

Leonard noticed that the howl's expression was unnatural, so he turned his head suspiciously, and looked at the faces of the orc hammermen for confirmation, "Really?" Seeing this, the orc warriors hurriedly nodded their heads again and again, indicating that this was indeed the case. Seeing this, the Great Swordsman became even more suspicious. But he saw that Howl and the Orc Hammermen were reluctant to tell the truth, and he didn't care much who this meow was, so he didn't continue to ask about it, and he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, Tina had already walked to Crotty's side, and couldn't help but curiously stretch out her hand to the Extinction Warriors, and asked, "Miss Crotty." Where are they going back?"

When Crotty heard this, his face did not change and his expression was calm and calm: "This is a matter of confidentiality. They were members of a secret army. And I've got out of this secret force. In order not to implicate unrelated people as much as possible. So, I can't tell you anything about them right now. ”。

Still very interested, Tina asked, "I'll keep it a secret." And why are you helping me get rid of Alonso?"

Crotty sighed with a serious expression and a deep face: "A secret is a secret, and there is no room for negotiation. I've quit the secret forces, so I can't irresponsibly poke out their information. This is a promise that must be fulfilled by agreement between the person and his companion. As for a traitor like Alonso, shouldn't he die? ”

Tina wanted to inquire as much as she could about the current situation: "Even though you say that, I still want to ask more. What do very important things mean?"

Crotty asked rhetorically: "Don't you think that there are many unbelievable things about the invasion of the Duchy of Bagram by the Lars Empire?"

At that moment, Bran drove up to his companion's neighborhood in a lavishly decorated carriage of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, which one of Crotty's inner shackles had obtained, and shouted, "Let's go, everyone!" Seeing this, Leonard, Howl, Crotty, and the Elven swordswoman boarded the carriage driven by the longbowmen and left Mandolia together.

Then, the remaining two hundred or so samurai and five hundred orc hammermen also left Mandoria. After they had buried all the bodies on the banks of the Brun River, they went their separate ways. The next day, the remaining Alonso guards began to burn and loot in Mandolia and its suburbs. Many of the local residents were so disturbed that they formed a militia guard along with a number of scattered militia members of the Lars Empire.

At the same time, a total of 150,000 allied troops of the Republic of Vosfita, Jiluo and Nakonaru were ambushed on the banks of the Phineas River to wait for work, and at an extremely small price, it took half a day to completely annihilate the 50,000 main forces of the Lars Empire that were on the way back. The arrogant crown prince of the Lars Empire was trampled into a pulp of flesh by the rock giants on the battlefield.

Hanks, who was temporarily released from the prison car by the crown prince, did not commit a fool as Tina instructed, and after the battle, he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and was the first to escape from the banks of the Phines River at the right time, so as to save his life. Mandolia here. With the cooperation of residents inside and outside the city.

The militia guards quickly routed the Alonso convoy entrenched in the city of Mandolia and expelled them from the city. However, the remaining Alonso guards were not long in coming, and the coalition forces were killed and surrounded by Mandolia.

Then the coalition forces broke through Mandolia, and in the name of exterminating the thieves, eliminating the rebels, and arresting the suspects of murdering the marquis, they began to brutally and bloodily suppress the resistance of the militia guards in the city. For a time, thousands of members of the militia guard were beheaded in public by the coalition forces, and blood was splattered on the spot and bodies exposed on the streets. Many neighborhoods of the centuries-old and ancient capital of Mandolia were also on fire, and thick smoke rose from the ground, reducing them to rubble and ruins beneath the ruins.

In the turn back. As soon as Tina boarded Bran's carriage and sat down, she answered Crotty's previous question: "It is true that the royal brother has been kidnapped, and has been imprisoned on a farm in the border region of our country, and has been subjected to inhuman abuse. And this is the same farm that Hawk used to take me, Leonard, Bran, and Hanks to. ”

Bran, who was driving the carriage, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly realized, and he didn't have time to ask loudly: "What!? Could it be that all this is a trap designed by someone behind the scenes?"

Tina nodded her head and replied with confidence, "That should be the case." Ho/Ke and the criminals who kidnapped the royal brother are basically in the same group. The same goes for the guide who showed us the way. When everyone heard this, they were silent and figured it out in their minds.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the outspoken howl first broke the silence: "I didn't expect that the kidnapping of the crown prince of your Lars Empire turned out to be true. I thought it was a lie you made up to invade the Duchy of Bagram. And who is going to do this?

Hearing this, Leonard asked rhetorically in an extremely disdainful tone: "Obviously." Who else but Clios, the old monster of the Republic of Vosfitta?"

When Crotty heard this, he immediately questioned Leonard: "You have said so much. Speaking of which, what evidence is there and how can we prove that this matter has something to do with the Elven King?"

Leonard sneered contemptuously: "There is no evidence. It's just that I relied on my own intuition to deduce the conclusions. More than a hundred years ago, he single-handedly led the division of the Lars Empire, occupying the town of Shida and still not returning it. Twenty-six years ago, the old monster brazenly sent troops to interfere with the unification process of Jiluo, and was almost wiped out by the orcs. These great, glorious deeds are enough to prove what he is.

Until now. The old monster first set a trap to lure the Lars Empire to invade south, eliminating the mercenary association of the Principality of Bagram that he did not like, and then sent troops to destroy the Lars Empire. This is a really good calculation. Even Bran and I have been calculated by the old monster, and have become pawns that he plays with. Kevin, Mel, all the soldiers of the Second Swordsmen, the Franks, and the soldiers of the Lars Empire all fell victim to the machinations of the old monsters. ”

Crotty was obviously poked to the sore spot by Leonard's words, and retorted in a rather excited tone: "I don't think the Elf King is this kind of person. Although he has interfered in the internal affairs of some countries, he will never play such insidious, despicable, and despicable tricks. You must know that Cleos is in a high position, and he has always been honest and upright, and he is always above board, and if he wants to crusade against anyone who can't say a word, can he make things so complicated?"

When Leonard heard this, he couldn't help but feel the anger that welled up in his heart, and he scolded bitterly: "Forget it, my young lady." Why didn't the old monster promise our reinforcements from the Second Swordsman Regiment to arrive for a long time? And doubting the loyalty of our Second Swordsman Regiment, he deliberately installed an Alonso to be our supervisor, waiting for an opportunity to snatch our credit, and what else to say, sending Marquis Alonso to command an army of 50,000 to surround Mandolia This kind of nonsense is simply a fart ****!"

Crotty was completely speechless by Leonard's words, and suddenly remembered Tax, who had always been loyal to Cleos: "The Elven King... But... Tower...", however, the elven swordswoman immediately realized that she shouldn't mention Tax's name casually at this time, so she stopped talking. Because she admired Tux and was impressed by the charm of the other party, she joined the Holy Swordsman Regiment led by Tux and became one of the three holy generals.

Seeing this, Bran interjected with a serious expression, and also explained his opinion: "Miss Crotty. If you want proof. Hawk/Gram was recommended to the Mercenary Guild by Field Marshal Memphis of the Republic of Vosfita. Judging by all indications, I doubt that the Republic of Vosfita was indeed involved in this. ”

Howl also expressed his views on the current problem: "If you want to talk about it, the despicable tricks that Cleos played against us Ji Luo back then, it is as much as you want. But the question is, where do we go next?"

Bran, who was driving the carriage, turned his head to look at his companions and replied: "Since we killed Alonso, we will definitely be wanted by the Republic of Vosfitta." First go back to Bagram, to my father. And then we'll think of something else. ”

When Tina heard this, she pleaded sadly: "Bran." Can't we just stay in the Lars Empire? I really want to go back and bury my father's body and see what is going on with my mother. ”

When Crotty heard this, he replied cautiously in place of Bran: "The current situation is extremely chaotic and dangerous. We can't afford to risk it and turn back. Your father's body, my subordinates will bury your life. As for your mother, with us responsible for killing Alonso, we should be no worse off than we are. ”

When Leonard heard this, he asked Crotty and Howl with a solemn face: "Miss Crotty, Howl." I'd like to ask one more question. Is it necessary for you to continue to follow us on the adventure?"

Determined and resolute, Crotty raised the Ghost Sword in his hand and replied loudly, "I will definitely follow you." For the sake of someone important, I must find out the truth about the whole thing, and in the future to be able to set the record straight and tell the world why we killed Alonso. People like Alonso deserve to die. ”

When Leonard heard this, he replied without any hope: "It's no problem to find out the truth." Clarify the facts, tell the world, and forget it. I don't think the old monster will give us that chance. ”

Howling pondered and hesitated for a long time, and finally stammered and spat out his reasons: "As for me, I, I am a fearless warrior who fights for justice and justice. And what you are doing now is upholding justice and justice. Therefore I will continue to fight with you all the way until justice and justice are served. Leonard could see at a glance that the orc warrior was lying, but seeing that the other party looked extremely serious and embarrassed, he didn't say anything.

When the time has entered the second half of the night. The carriage driven by Bran drove into the middle of the wilderness and stopped moving. The group jumped out of the car and began to set up tents on the ground and prepare for camping. I saw Tina lean leaning up to Leonard's side with light steps and whispering, "Ray." Could you please come over for a moment?"

Hearing this, Leonard raised his head and looked up at the bright stars embedded in the inky blue sky, followed by lowering his head, looking into Tina's eyes, and replied in a soothing tone: "It's getting late now." Everybody's on their way tomorrow..."

Bran, who was standing not far away, saw that Tina seemed to have something to talk to Leonard alone, and interjected very understandingly and persuaded: "Ray." Leave us alone, just go with Tina. ”

Watching Leonard and Tina walk away side by side, Crotty hurriedly advised: "Don't stay up too late, come back early and go to bed." At this time, the howl lying in the tent was already snoring: "zzzz...", the great swordsman and the female mage walked side by side in the wilderness, and remained silent.

Whew-whew-whew-the evening breeze of early spring, mixed with a hint of coldness, blew across their cheeks. The green grass that was trampled under the feet of the two of them made a creaking and creaking sound. Because there is a relationship of spell energy in this world. The seasons on the continent of Farución do not change significantly. Outbreaks of various epidemic infectious diseases are also rare.
