"This Viscount Winton...... I really want to master the Seth Watchtower! ”

Inside the camp cabin, Rhodes sent the three knights away, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Due to Rhodes' strong beginning, although the atmosphere of the negotiations between the two sides was harmonious and friendly, the results were unsatisfactory.

Icasa, who represented the will of the nobles of the city of Weststream, made a request for negotiation that Rod could not accept.

They proposed that the noble group, represented by Viscount Winton, would recognize Rhodes' control of the Seth Tower, and that Viscount Winton would facilitate any activities they could have in Weststream.

But correspondingly, in return, Rhodes also had to meet Viscount Winton's demands.

Viscount Winton will send a certain number of soldiers to the Seth Tower, but of course, they are still nominally under Lord's command, and Rhodes must cooperate with Viscount Winton if necessary.

Judging from the sincerity of the other party's cooperation.

It seems that Rhodes is the more favorable side.

After all, Viscount Winton represents an entire group of nobles, and on the other hand, Rhodes is just an outlaw.

Viscount Winton's promise is tantamount to opening a big back door for all Rhodes' activities in Xiliu City, which is undoubtedly of great help to the development of his own forces.

And the request they put forward is only to garrison troops, and this condition can be said to be relatively sincere.

In fact.

This is a conventional political tool, each taking what he needs, and both sides get a satisfactory outcome.

It's just that Rod refused.

"The aristocrats are all old foxes...... This Winton was so desperate to master the Seth Tower...... There's definitely something wrong with that! ”

Rhodes had a very thorough view of the aristocracy.

They are a group of profit-oriented guys, and they can make Winton pay such a big price, and the benefits behind them are definitely doubled.

And for these people, turning their faces and not recognizing people is just commonplace.

"It is estimated that the results of the Iron Sword Regiment are out! They're afraid they've been defeated! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Rhodes had already come to a basic conclusion.

Iron Sword Regiment, defeated.

Otherwise, Viscount Winton would not have been so eager to send people to the Seth Guard Tower to support another force.

"I'm afraid the war is about to begin......" Rod thought to himself.

I'm afraid Icasar didn't think of it either.

From their negotiations, Rhodes actually deduced a lot of things, indeed, Xiliu City seems to be calm on the surface, but secretly, in fact, a lot of materials and personnel are being closely mobilized.

That's why Viscount Winton sent people over so urgently after the accident of the Iron Sword Regiment, and even did not hesitate to install people to station in the Seth Guard Tower, in order to control this camp more favorably.

Rod frowned.

He's also having a headache now, and it looks like the camp he's occupying now has a lot of interest to plot in the future.

can let the nobles of Xiliu City secretly carry out small actions behind the back of the City Lord's Mansion, which must be an interest that makes many people blush.

Merely.

knew that he was pulling hatred, but Rod resolutely refused.

He knew very well that the last will of Xiliu City was still that city lord, and anyone who opposed him would never end well.

Before you have the ability to fight or even change your fate, it is best not to go against some people who claim to be the children of destiny.

"Someone!"

Rhodes thought for a moment and shouted, and soon, one of his men walked in, and Rod whispered to him, "Send someone to inform the monkey!" Let him stop his activities in Xiliu City and immediately arrange for the evacuation of personnel. ”

"Yes," the man replied, bowing his head.

After watching his subordinates leave, Rhodes held his chin with one hand and unconsciously banged on the table with the other, looking out of the camp with a chill in his eyes.

Now that he had offended Viscount Winton, he had to think about some of his things in Weststream City.

……

Outside the camp.

Icazar and his two knights were galloping away in the direction of Westflow on two Northland horses of great blood.

They're fast.

According to the [Riding Skills] in the knight's skills, they should all be people who have mastered at least intermediate riding skills. They sit on the back of the horse, and the rhythm of the whole person's breathing faintly echoes the horse, and the frequency of the body's ups and downs is also saving the horse's physical strength to the greatest extent.

In this case.

Once they launch the [Knight Charge], it seems that the three of them can also reach some kind of tacit understanding, thus increasing the power of the attack.

Their horses are also precious.

With their muscular builds, explosive muscles, and blood-like hair, these three horses are authentic Northland horses, but I don't know which Northland family cultivated them.

This horse can carry a lot of weight, whether it is endurance, explosiveness or other attributes, it can be compared to some special mounts.

on horseback.

Icassa lowered the mask of his helmet, and under the cold mask, a pair of angry and puzzled eyes appeared. He couldn't believe that the damned mercenary leader had actually rejected Viscount Winton's terms.

"Humph! When the Iron Hoof comes, he will regret it! ”

Icazar thought coldly.

Multiply!

Suddenly, a strange sound echoed in his ears.

Swish!

Before Icasa could react, a dark purple chill was behind him.

Clang!

Dark purple sharp insect claws stabbed into Icaza's back, and his gray-black half-body armor flowed a mysterious rune that blocked the fatal blow, and the sharp claws collided with the armor with a loud sound.

"Khooth!"

Icassa was shaken by the tremendous force, leaned forward, his face was furious, and immediately drew the knight's greatsword at his waist.

I had been thinking about Rod just now, and if I didn't notice it for a while, I was almost killed.

The throbbing of the brush with death made Icasa's breath cold.

His cold eyes swept backwards, and the great sword made a huge arc, but the dark purple cold light flashed again, and disappeared there in an instant.

- "Void Sneaker! ”

The basic specialty of Void creatures, they can merge into the ubiquitous Void, like a fish in water, it is a biological instinct.

It's a tricky skill.

This is not an assassin's stealth, but a skill similar to "Shadow Jump", which escapes directly into the Void Dimension.

Similar to the Assassins' legendary abilities, except that they entered the shadow plane, through which they jumped.

But it's different from legendary skills.

This void dimension is a kind of existence similar to a spatial crack, and once an existence with strong perception is impacted by a huge amount of energy, it can still be forcibly bombarded.

This is also the most feared part of the Void creatures.

Unless you have a sharp attack like a swordsman, or a spatial-like spell like a mage, they're an unstoppable bunch of killers.

"What's that?!"

Icasa's eyes lit up, and he saw in the split second that the attacker was actually a monster that resembled a bug.

It was only the size of a puppy, but the dark purple insect beetle wrapped around it could actually compete with his armor.

And.

This thing's timing of attacks is simply terrifying.

Icassa is not weak, he has a strong sense of perception, and if he doesn't happen to be distracted by Rod's affairs, he feels that he can predict danger in advance.

"Be careful, everyone!" He said in a deep voice.

His eyes were vigilant and he was watching everything around him.

Merely.

The dark purple terrifying bug seemed to have vanished out of thin air, and Ikasa didn't even feel its breath at all.

"This is not an assassin's method!"

Icassa's face under the mask was ugly.

It was still a long way from Westflow City, and there was a terrible hunter staring at them, which made them feel like they were on their backs.

"Let's go!"

With a low snort, he and the two knights suddenly accelerated, trying to get rid of the ethereal bite worm by running quickly.

It's just the hunt, and it's just beginning!
