Chapter XVII: When the Killing Continues
It was already dawn, and before the night had receded, the team reached the preset ambush location.
"Chad, you lead half of the people to the opposite side to ambush, and the specific attack time depends on my signal. β
"The rest of the people follow me, be careful not to make a loud noise. β
Antonio said as he looked at Chad, the oldest member of the team.
"Yes!" Chad commanded.
Minutes and seconds passed.
In the quiet and tense environment around him, Tony clutched the sword in his hand tightly.
"Uncle Chad, are we really going to kill them all?" asked Tony, quietly, cautiously
Looking at the immature Tony, Chad knew that this kid was kind-hearted, after all, he was still young, and killing people was still too cruel for him.
"Remember, this is a military order!" Chad said to Tony with a little seriousness.
"But ......," Tony struggled and didn't say anything.
"Tell me, Tony, what was the first thing I asked you to remember when you entered the army?"
"Yes...... Obey orders!" Tony lowered his head and stopped talking.
"When you wait for the next battle, remember not to stay too far away from me, if you don't kill others, others will still kill you!" Chad couldn't help but be a little worried about the boy in the same village as him, if there was anything wrong with Tony, he wouldn't have the face to go back to the village to see everyone.
Kindness to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to oneself!
"Squeak, squeak!"
As the night began to recede, the sound of wagons and wheels could be heard on the road in the distance.
"Attention!
Antonio's expression became serious as he looked at the convoy that was getting closer and closer to him.
"Come on, don't let one go. β
With Antonio's order, the cavalrymen on both sides rushed out with their swords.
The caravan of Mu Teng has been trading on this route, and there are no robbers in normal times, so there are basically no armed guards, only two cavalrymen on horseback.
The cavalry led by Antonio rushed out too suddenly, and before he could react, he was cut down by several coachmen.
"There's an ambush, defense, defense!" cried the caravan leader, Wienal.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Antonio slashed through Wienal's neck with a great sword in his hand.
"Uh...... Whew......" Venal clutched his neck, took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
The massacre was going on, and a group of civilians were no match for the well-trained cavalry, and the two cavalrymen of the caravan tried to escape on horseback, but unfortunately they were surrounded and killed with knives.
Five minutes later, the slaughter was over, all that remained was to clean up the battlefield, and in order to hurry, Antonio took only coins and elemental crystals.
He looked at the cavalrymen who had vomited on the side of the road for the first killing, shook his head, and then asked the cavalrymen to take the corpse onto the wagon, and threw the corpse and the wagon at the border.
After that, the team divided into ten, dressed in the civilian clothes that had been prepared for a long time, divided into different roads, and converged at the starting point.
Casually asking the maid to bring Antonio a glass of wine, Alan began to listen to the action.
"My lord, things are going well, I have already thrown all the bodies in the border area, and when I came back, according to my lord's orders, the team was divided into ten groups, and no one was found. β
"Well done, by the way, is anyone hurt. β
"Thank you for your concern, only two of the fifty people were accidentally injured, but they were all minor injuries, and they had already been bandaged when they came back, and they were no longer in serious trouble. β
"Well, for encouragement, take out sixty golden dragons from the harvest as a reward, one for each of the fifty people, and the remaining ten Antonio for yourself, which is considered a reward for you. Alan said after some thoughtfulness.
"Thanks, Lord Baron!"
After Antonio left, Eren went to the basement, and this raid caravan yielded a total of 300 golden dragons and 20 fire elemental crystals.
Alan knew that the fire element spar was used by the Mu Vine Leader knight for cultivation, and because of the preciousness and best-selling of the Mu Vine Leader's fire vine clothes, it could bring great wealth to the Mu Vine Leader every year, and the Mu Vine Leader cultivated two low-level fire element knights.
Here Alan found that it seems that the knights of the Mu Sen Domain are basically fire element knights, his father is a fire element knight, Baron Jean is a fire element knight, Jason, the captain of the Mu Teng Ling knight team, is a fire element knight, Viscount Berner is a mid-level fire element knight, and most of the barons in the strength of the barons are also fire element knights.
Wellβit should be the legendary elemental potion, Alan guessed in his heart.
The elemental potion is equipped with the juice of a magical plant elemental grass, and most of the fire element knights of the Musen Domain have purchased the fire element potion of the Musen Viscount, which means that Viscount Berner must have a fire element grass, which can explain the reason why the Musen Viscount has a fire element potion.
Alan didn't know much about the elemental grass, and he still used the origin bead to check it before he knew its information, but the few wisps of luck that had only gathered in the past few days were consumed again.
ββ
Elemental Grass - A magical plant divided into fire, wood, water, metal, earth, and other elemental grasses, which can be used to make low-level elemental elixirs to help the user break through the low-level knights, and the growth cycle is one year.
Cultivation program: ......
Advanced Plan: ......
ββ
Due to his lack of luck, Alan could only see the information above.
At this time, Alan couldn't help but sigh at the huge profits of the magical plant, a bottle of low-level fire element potion in the viscounty auction, the minimum bid is one hundred spars, and it can only be traded with spars, every year as long as the viscount has low-level element elixirs for sale, barons everywhere are using their financial resources to auction.
As far as Alan knows, his father also spent close to one hundred and fifty elemental crystals to get a copy, so that he was able to break through the low-level knights.
Alan also heard this year that the viscounty will auction a fire element potion in Musen City on December 15th, and in the past few years, the viscounty will basically auction off the low-level fire element potion produced every year, and even people from other viscounties will come, at this time of year, it can be described as very lively.
Viscount Bernard is sixty-one years old this year, and his health is no longer at his peak, so he should also think about the stability of the territory in the future.
In the past few years, Viscount Bernard has put the precious potions out for auction, also in order to gather the resources needed for his eldest son, the jujube baron Baird, to be promoted to a middle-level knight, and after Baird becomes a middle-level knight, he can safely ascend to the viscount title.
Alan didn't know how many resources and precious magical plants it would take to be promoted to a mid-level knight, and he knew that Viscount Bernard was also able to break through to a mid-level knight at the age of forty.
However, the breakthrough path between himself and Antonio in the future is already very clear, as long as the flame wheat advances, he will advance, and if he kills a mid-level demonic beast with water attributes, Antonio can advance.
Looking at the twenty fire elemental crystals in the bag, Alan estimated that it was almost enough for the Flame Mai's advancement this time, as long as the twenty Fire Elemental Crystals were mixed into a fire elemental liquid and absorbed by the Flame Mai, Allen's promotion to a mid-level knight was just around the corner.
For breaking through the mid-level knights, Alan has also been looking forward to it for a long time.
