Chapter 0054: Radical Warlords
Most of the crow's nests were built in the woods outside the city walls, and looting and executions often provided corpses for them.
Now that autumn is in place, the farming has shifted from the land to between the workshops and the mills.
Feasts were hung from giant trees and gallows more and more often, and the crows moved into the city to wait in the shadows for hospitality.
They followed the smell and noise of blood to the eaves, and looked out into the alley.
The crow couldn't understand why humans liked to talk in such an undiscovered place, which then turned into an argument, and finally plunged a dagger into another person's chest.
Today is a little different, the alleys are still panting, and they are still far from being edible.
They flew away regretfully, and soon after, another batch fell.
[The battle is over, no wounded, no killed, reputation 20.] γ
Adam scraped the iron rod against his sackcloth garment, and the man was still moaning, completely incapacitated, similar to the other seven guys with multiple fractures.
"Hey, forget it."
Adam left his weapon behind, thinking that he was using it fairly well, and wanted to leave it for Lukka to defend himself, but now he decided that he might as well buy a new one for his followers.
"Hurry, gentlemen. If you don't talk about it, I'll just assume you're not here. β
Another reason why he chose to solve the problem here was because there were red dots hidden in several surrounding rooms, which were obviously hostile.
However, until the end of the battle, they did not appear, and even the map markers changed.
In a moment, the red dot turns to a blue dot, and finally it becomes "? βγ
[While you left the thug's life, you also left room for negotiation, and the commander appeared in front of you. γ
There was the sound of a wooden door opening and closing around the corner, two windows in the distance swaying slightly, and the sound of footsteps became chaotic, and finally a pile appeared, blocking the way again.
They all had similar expressions, with a considerable degree of hostility towards Adam.
The difference is that these people are obviously more organized and disciplined, although there are only five or six, but they are very different in style and better equipped.
"You guys are better at fighting than those just now, if you want to kill me, it's more than that, what do you want to talk about?"
"Wise man, I should have said goodbye to you at the banquet tomorrow."
The leader's voice was low and steady, with a sense of authority.
From the pair of eagle-like eyes to the various delicate and gorgeous appearances, the whole body is full of ambition.

[Monologue: We deserve more!] γ
Adam vaguely remembers a few, and they shouted fiercely from the stands, which is a pity......
"You know, my child will die by your sword!"
"Then you must have more than one son, or this conversation would not have happened."
When the two most gloomy faces heard Adam's words, their hands were already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and their muscles were exposed, and their skin turned red in an instant.
Someone next to him stepped forward and held it down to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
The warlord is also a little annoyed, these guys around him can't hold their breath, and if the young man in front of him tries out his attitude, it is easy to make the negotiation passive.
If it was his own subordinates, it would be impossible to be so reckless.
"Collaborators aren't very satisfying, are they?"
Adam smiled as he straightened his vest from the fight.
"Hmph, young man, don't be too complacent. You're alone, and in front of you is the most sober and powerful warlord leader in the neighborhood! β
The slightly watery boast went on for a moment, and they revealed the situation to Adam a little.
The warlords have reached a partnership to cause some commotion at tomorrow's banquet, with the goal of holding Cathy Langar hostage.
used it as a bargaining chip to blackmail Anton Weisen.
Smack, smack, smack!
Adam pursed his lips and shook his head, and applauded, what a coincidence.
The warlord's expression is ugly, and this interruption is very impolite!
Adam confessed.
"Nice suicide plan, go ahead, gather your army and try to charge! The walls were not built high, and some parts were made of wood. That's my advice, at least......
Let you die a decent death, I won't participate, goodbye. β
"Hmph, young man, we think more deeply than you."
"Hey, to be honest, I haven't learned anything other than know that Arnold's men aren't monolithic. If you want me to join the gang, you'll have to have a more tempting reason! β
Adam knew in his heart that these people were already sure, but judging from the handwriting, the strength of the other party was still a long way from filling their desires.
"Something will get out of hand at the banquet, and those Anton Weisen cavalry can't handle it."
"Lord Arnold is just watching?"
Someone next to him immediately stood up to refute it.
"As long as it's fast enough, we can directly hold Cathy's prodigal woman hostage, and we'll have the final say on the rest!"
The lead warlord smiled and nodded, adding.
"We actually respect Lord Arnold, but that lord obviously doesn't dare to face his ambitions, and we're just helping him make a decision.
If he dares to stop it, we'll just kill Cathy. When the time comes, Taeganda and Anton Weisen will still declare war, and we, the warlords, are the main fighting force, and we can only tie our boots together! β
Adam listened carefully, and it was obvious that there was some resentment and informality, but it was true.
If the situation is completely irreparable, and the woman needs to die here, then Arnold will only be forced to unite his men and declare war.
That "thing" that will get out of control, the other party should not tell them directly.
This is the hole card, the hole card that gives them confidence.
"There's a part of your plan, and that's how fast it is?"
"Yes, that's why we spared your life."
The warlord's expression became serious.
"Your skills are valuable, and if the other party is calm enough by then, for example, the entire cavalry team does not leave the scene, then we will hold them back.
I believe that your skills can still finish off the whip-wielding officer next to her, right? The prison he sent you to, it's a chance for revenge.
What do you get by swearing allegiance to Lord Arnold? Duchen's confidant position takes time to identify loyalty.
But this opportunity can omit some of the processes. β
The warlord's expression was very enthusiastic, and he opened his palms with the jeweled table rings to welcome him.
Looking back, the other warlords also looked straight to the side.
Farther away, at the mouth of the alleyway, there is a small patch of sunlight.
And they, all of them, stand in the shadows.
Adam could also guess that if he refused, then they would kill him at all costs, even if it required to gather troops into the city to hunt him down.
He sighed, and said mockingly to the lost warlord in the distance.
"Some things are more important than blood hatred, right?"
The man was a little resentful, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.
The leaders also began to urge.
"Don't waste everyone's time, think about it, how are you going to choose?"
[The radical surge overflows your ankles, do you choose to jump down, or ......]
