Ekra escaped from the hotel, which can be said to be a slap in the face to Palan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He hurried to the Milton Hotel and saw that the scene was in shambles.

The Milton Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in the City of Bauhinia Flowers, and it is said that the overall cost of the Milton Hotel exceeded 300,000 gold coins in terms of land price, design and construction, and later decoration and decoration - this is a huge amount of money! This money is enough to configure the strength of a legion.

Today, however, this ultra-luxurious hotel has become a devastated state.

At noon today, after Palan's troops captured Ekra, they threw the Earl directly into the Milton Hotel. As this count, going directly to prison is indeed a little unbearable on his face. Paran was going to settle him down in the Grand Hotel first, and then wait until his original mansion, his guards stationed there, and some soldiers of the Holy Alliance were cleared, and then welcome Akra back.

Of course, Paran must have thought about safety.

An entire brigade of 300 elite soldiers was stationed directly at the Milton Hotel, acting as Earl Achra's 'bodyguards'. The captain of the team has the strength of a ninth-level warrior,

A ninth-level warrior is nothing; Three hundred elite soldiers, although a strong force, may be broken through their defenses if they face a rescue team composed of a group of masters.

With this in mind, Paran had made other preparations.

Banks, a high-level elven mage, personally sits in the Grand Hotel. At the same time, there was also a half-orc sword master with fifteen professional levels that Paran had to recruit with a lot of effort when he was in the Wasteland Pass. The two of them, led a team of about twenty people, were responsible for the close protection of Ekra.

The average level of these twenty or so people is ten levels!

This is almost the strongest team that the Sixth Legion can put together, and almost one-third of the masters in Paran's legion have all been transferred into this team.

It stands to reason that there should be no problem with this configuration.

If you encounter a large group of men, how can a large group of soldiers be able to hold for a while, the barracks of the Sixth Army are not far away, and they will soon be able to support it; When encountering an elite squad, the combination of a fifteenth-level sword master and a high-level mage is not weak, and if it lasts for a while, the soldiers stationed in the hotel will soon be able to surround it.

No matter how strong the master is, if he falls into the endless army without help, it is a dead end.

However, when Paland arrived outside the hotel in person, the scene he saw was so miserable.

The entire Milton Hotel, as if it had been blasted inside, had become very miserable. On the ground, the corpses of the soldiers of that elite brigade of the Sixth Legion were everywhere. Groups of soldiers entered the building, removing corpse after corpse and helping out wounded soldier after wounded.

"What the hell is going on?" Paran asked angrily.

The adjutant, who was one step ahead of him, said anxiously: "It's not clear what happened for the time being, but ...... Master Miller is dead, and so is Colonel Barthine. The 3rd Brigade of the 1st Wing was almost completely wiped out, and the specific casualty data has not yet been released, but at least two-thirds of the fighters were killed or wounded. ”

This news made Palan's already blue face even darker.

Master Miller and Colonel Barthine are the two masters under him. Miller is the high-level mage of the humans, and Barthenine is the orc swordmaster.

Previously, when the news of the robbery of Count Ekra reached his ears, his first reaction was that he felt that this should be the work of the Holy Alliance.

This is a very simple and straightforward guess that is not supported by any evidence. But there is no doubt that there seems to be no one else who has the motivation and the ability to do such a thing but the Holy Alliance.

But, for now, it doesn't seem like it anymore.

In the Holy Alliance, the only thing that really deserves to care about is the Holy Prometry New Empire. The Victorians are also quite powerful, but after losing half of the Knights, they are now fighting with the Orcs from the East, and they probably don't have time to come here to mess around.

As for the other two members of the Holy Alliance, Pudri and Florence, what exactly these two countries are, Paran knows exactly what these two countries are.

Right now, the Holy Alliance's power in the Duchy of Florence can do such a thing?

You know, less than twenty minutes have passed since the incident. The Sixth Legion's response was very fast, and when the accident at the Milton Hotel occurred, a large number of troops had been mobilized within ten minutes.

That is, the time left for those who carried out the attack will definitely not exceed ten minutes.

In ten minutes, a high-level mage, a sword master, and an elite brigade were all done. What kind of terrifying strength is this? Does the Holy Alliance have such an ability in the City of Bauhinia?

Paran is unbelieving.

The intelligence organization of the Mafia Academy is quite powerful in the city of Bauhinia. Firmino had patted Paran's chest and promised them that if there was even the slightest hint of trouble in the Holy Alliance, they would know immediately.

However, there is not even the slightest hint of what is happening now.

Thinking of this, Paran asked again and said, "What about Colonel Firmino?" ”

His adjutant replied, "He has just arrived, he has brought a few people, and he is still in the hotel." ”

"Yes." Paran nodded and said, "I'll wait here, wait for him to come out, and let him come to see me as soon as possible." ”

……

Without making Palan wait long, Firmino soon appeared in front of him.

"How?" Paran asked.

Firmino certainly knew what he was asking, and he was looking bad right now.

The second-in-command of the Black Hand Academy said: "The situation is very bad, the enemy is coming very quickly. According to my investigation, your soldiers, at first, did not react at all, they went straight inside the hotel, and then attacked Master Miller first. Miller had no ability to resist, and was killed almost as soon as the enemy moved. Then, they began to turn to deal with Batten and his elite bodyguards. ”

It was also when Butter was fighting the enemy that the soldiers reacted. But as soon as they reacted, they should have been attacked by very fierce magical fire, and while they suffered heavy losses, they were also blocked in the lower floors of the hotel, and they didn't have time to catch up. ”

"Bart and his men were destroyed without holding out for more than three minutes in the hands of the enemy. He himself must have been hit by magic many times, and then killed by a heavy sword with dark magic splitting half of his body. ”、

"Then, those people immediately took Ekra and used the power of the spell to teleport away."

Firmino gave Paland a rough description of the battle. At the end, he also said: "These are all information that I deduced from the traces left at the scene. Our opponents are very strong, and there are a lot of traces of the battle, but in other aspects, they have handled it quite carefully. I didn't find anything more valuable, and there was little hope that I would be able to achieve results if I continued to follow up. ”

"Damn it!" Paran cursed.

He felt that his luck was really bad.

Of Schindlaire's many generals, he was the only one who remained in the garrison. Forget it, after all, his rank has risen quickly, and his qualifications are slightly insufficient. However, after he made a difference in the Wasteland Pass, brought out such a combat-effective army as the Border Guard, and made a name for himself in the last war, he finally managed to truly rise to the top of the kingdom's military.

Not only did the border guards he brought out finally reorganize into a regular army, but he himself became a general in a country.

But this good day has only been comfortable for a few days, and the internal affairs of the Duchy of Florence have made him anxious, and now there is such a direct incident.

He could imagine whether he would be able to sit firmly in his seat when the news was transmitted back to the kingdom.

Looking at Palan's expression, Firmino was very sympathetic. A few years ago, the two had a cooperation, which can be regarded as some friendship. Now, in the past six months, they have worked together to maintain the stability of Florence, and there are many places where the two of them need to work together, but there are not many places where there is a conflict of interest, and it is natural that the relationship is relatively close.

He also wanted to be able to help a little more, but this thing was ......

"Alas, Paran, you are not to blame for this. You've done the best you can. ”

Paran smiled bitterly and said, "But in the end, I still failed, isn't that the most incompetent part of me?" I'm afraid that those people in the military department who don't like me very well won't let go of such a good opportunity to attack me, right? ”

At the mention of this, Firmino could only be silent. The intelligence system of the Mafia Academy has always been disconnected from the officialdom of the kingdom, which is a silent tacit understanding, and in this matter, no matter how good Firmino's relationship with Paran is, it is impossible to help him - he can't help if he wants to.

Paran sighed, returning his attention to the matter at hand. He asked, "Do you know who did it?" ”

Firmino said: "There are eyebrows, but it is not certain yet, anyway, it was not the people of the Holy Alliance who did it." ”

Paran: "I guessed it wouldn't be the Holy Alliance, they don't have that ability. But, then again, if it weren't for the Holy Alliance, I can't imagine any other force that would have the motivation to do such a thing. ”

Firmino frowned, as if he was thinking about whether he should say it or not.

"Huh? What's wrong? What scruples do we have between us? If you have information, just say it. ”

"It's not much information, is it?" "It's just a guess, and there is no conclusive evidence yet." However, the traces of spells left on the scene are basically dark spells. The negative energy they left behind is very obvious. Forces that are so good at using negative energy...... Did you think of anything? ”

"You mean the Church of the Damned?" Paran's face turned grim.

When it comes to negative energy, the first thing that comes to his mind is the Church of the Damned.

With his current status in the Kingdom, the threat to the Church of the Damned must also be clear. It's just that in his original concept, he was stationed in the City of Bauhinia and the Duchy of Florence, and what he had to deal with should be those old-fashioned nobles in the Duchy and the threat of the Holy Alliance. He never thought that the Cursed Church, which was said to be blocked from the Broken Dragon Peak, would have something to do with his side.

But he quickly thought of one more thing - on the northwestern border of the Duchy of Florence, the place known as the Four Wild Forests was a forested area at the foot of the Central Mountain Range! From the Four Wild Forests to the depths of the Central Mountain Range, you can go directly into the dark jungle and into the court of Nancy.

According to the information currently available to the kingdom, the court of Nancy has been suffering from the erosion of the Cursed Church several years ago. By now, it should have basically fallen completely.

In this sense, he Paran really couldn't feel that he only had to face the Holy Alliance to sit back and relax.

He had never realized that it was possible that the Church of the Damned was behind the trouble, but now, after Firmino had investigated and analyzed the traces left at the scene, his train of thought had suddenly changed.

"Damn it!" When he switched his mind back, he immediately realized a very bad situation.

Paran has been in Florence for half a year, and this lieutenant general, I don't want to say anything about my ability, but there must be no problems with my attitude towards things.

The map of Florence, including Puldry, and even the entire region in the southern part of the Orodic continent, had almost completely memorized it in his head.

Beyond the Four Wild Forests, that is the fir collar of the Sade family.

Count Sade himself was burned to death by the dragon's breath in the grip of the Iron Horse. It is conceivable what the attitude of the Sade family towards the Hindlaire people will be.

Just a while ago, there was a riot in the fir collar.

This frontier territory of Florence, which can be said to be the most dissatisfied with Hindlaire's rule in the entire duchy, became the most natural supporters of the Count of Ekra.

Think about it, if the prison robbers brought Count Ekra to the fir realm, united the nobles there, and raised the banner of resistance, plus the support of the Church of the Damned......

Palan felt that he was in big trouble.

"This matter must be reported to His Majesty immediately!"
