As the sun set in the west, and the twilight in the mountains and forests deepened, a fat and sturdy black-backed wolfhound barked wildly and barred his tongue in the hunting grounds on the edge of Viscount Niclel, and seven or eight private soldiers who followed closely followed him with bitter eyes.

Last night, their big boss Sanders didn't know what was crazy, and ordered them to go to the hunting ground in the mountains and forests to find the traces of Colin and a few people in the starry night, and the sky was pitiful, finding a few people in such a large mountain forest was really no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, but fortunately, the commander of this group of private armies was still a little anxious, and before leaving, he brought a few pieces of clothing from the bedroom of Colin and others to the hunting dogs raised in the hunting ground for identification, and the hunting dogs led the way so that this group of private soldiers did not run around like headless flies, However, Rao is like this, and it is also extremely fatal for more than 100 private soldiers in this area to search this mountain forest hunting ground.

When they arrived at the hunting ground, the sun had not yet risen, and the group of private soldiers were divided into more than a dozen teams to search the mountain forest, but after most of the hard work, they only found a few blood stains of unknown origin.

In the twilight of spring, the temperature has already taken a bit of the prototype of summer, and the clothes of the private soldiers wearing heavy armor are soaked with sweat, and they want to take off their armor to cool off for a while, but they are worried about the sneak attack of carnivorous beasts and even monsters, and they can only grit their teeth and endure hard, which directly leads to more than a dozen private soldiers who participated in the search just in the afternoon and fell to the ground, and other soldiers who barely supported were almost exhausted of all their physical strength.

Wiping the sweat on his head, the commander of the private army looked back at the pale and crumbling warriors behind him and couldn't help but sigh secretly, after all, these people are just semi-professional soldiers who train and farm in their spare time, no matter how effective or willing to fight are more than one grade worse than the group of truly knights under the viscount, and this kind of aimless search is indeed too hard, even he feels a little unbearable.

took off the water bladder around his waist and poured it, and poured the remaining water on his head that was about to smoke, and the commander of the private army wiped a handful of water stains on his face and shouted: "Brothers, work hard, let's rest after a while, and when we return to Baishan Town, I invite everyone to go to the Jumping Chest Tavern to have a good drink, and the girls who eat and drink are all mine!" ”

A group of dejected private soldiers burst into tears of joy and cheered loudly, and under the multiple stimuli of the wine and food, they raised their last breath of strength and rushed in the direction of the hound.

Seven or eight black crows, considered ominous, were barking wildly from the branches of the trees beside them, and the hounds were barking wildly at a three- or four-metre radius clearing in front of them, which was covered with a damp layer of fresh earth, apparently recently excavated.

When this group of private soldiers arrived at the destination, they saw this scene, and the commander of the private army twisted up a piece of dark-colored new soil and gently crushed it, and his face couldn't help but change slightly: "Come a few people, dig up this open space for me." ”

The private soldiers glanced at each other, bitterly took their weapons and slashed at the open space in front of them, and after less than a quarter of an hour, the commander of the private army stopped the weak private soldiers with a soft shout, jumped into the open space that had been dug half a meter deep, and randomly brushed away the floating soil, and a charred black arm like a reed stick appeared in the pit.

His face changed, and the commander of the private army was shocked by his fighting spirit, and a large piece of floating soil was rolled up by the fighting spirit, revealing the charred corpse below, in the stunned eyes of other private soldiers, the commander of the private army was randomly touching the charred corpse, and after a while, he took out the silver waist card that had been blackened and deformed by the high temperature from the pockets of the corpse, and carefully rubbed it for a while, the face of the private army commander changed suddenly, and shouted: "Spread the word Lord Sanders, Your Excellency Trill was attacked and killed!" ”

A moment later, a gray carrier pigeon flapped its wings and carried the ominous message to the town of White Shan.

In an ordinary-looking two-story building in the northwest corner of Baishan Town, Sanders crumpled the note in his hand with a grim face, and a guard wearing a private army armor next to him looked at Sanders, who was obviously on the verge of rage, and whispered with some fear: "Lord Sanders, there is news from the Hagrid leader of the Black Mountain Bandit Regiment, and seven bodies suspected to have died from lightning strikes have been found next to the body of Lord Trill, and one of them is extremely stout and has been confirmed to be Deputy Captain Billy." ”

"A bunch of waste from my **** mother, Billy, the dead faggot who can only play with men, I know that he can't do anything, a master at the peak of the swordsman with a group of middle-level swordsman-level masters, and with the beast tendon crossbow that Lao Tzu bought for tens of thousands of gold coins, to assassinate a small miscellaneous that was protected by a group of green-skinned boys, and was killed by a group of green-skinned boys, fortunately, these damn wastes died in that mountain forest, otherwise Lao Tzu would have to chop them up and feed them to their father and mother!" The anger was completely ignited by the guard's words, and Saunders, with red eyes and salivation, jumped around the room like a dumped shrew, and all the ancestors of Billy and Triel were named by him.

Finally, after smashing everything in the room that could be broken, Sanders barely calmed down, glanced at the guard hiding in the corner and wanted to stick his head in the crotch of his pants and said coldly: "Go and ask Captain Hagrid, let him bring all the elites of the Black Mountain Bandit Troupe, and then go to the hunting ground to summon the family's private army back, and prepare for a raid on Nikel's Manor in the second half of the night!" ”

"But, Lord Sanders, a message came back from the hunting ground just now that I had searched the mountains and forests all day today, and asked for some repairs." The guard glanced at Saunders' grim face and said boldly.

"They repair, can Duran's little miscellaneous also be repaired, Rem's waste, so far we haven't found out which caravan brought Duran into Baishan Town, and when they finish repairing, what if Duran colludes with those chambers of commerce? Will you help me take out the reinforcements from the big family? Damn shit, if they're not dead, they're going to crawl back to White Fir before midnight! Sanders frothed at the mouth and yelled.

The guard trembled, bowed quickly, and snatched the door away like a desperate man.

Gasping heavily, Sanders was tired of scolding and was trying to moisten his throat when he found that the tea set in the room and the wine in the wine cabinet had been smashed to the ground by himself, and his heart was even more evil, and he kicked the wreckage of the desk hard.

Amid the sound of wood cracking, a thin and short figure slowly condensed outside the door, Sanders was startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency Saying, you are here." ”

Saying, who was still wrapped in a night suit, looked at the mess and didn't mean to enter the house, stood outside the door and casually glanced at Sanders, who was saluting respectfully, and said, "Your first wave of assassination failed?" ”

"Yes, Billy and Trill didn't hurt that kid with their men and horses, and when I saw him with Andrew's guy last night, this kid didn't show anything unusual, which made me mistakenly think that Billy and they didn't intercept their group, and when I sent my family's private army to search the hunting ground today, I wanted to take the opportunity to kill Duran's guards, but just now those private soldiers sent a message that Billy's body was found in a pit under a tree." Wiping the cold sweat from his head, Sanders said with some embarrassment.

"Do you mean that His Excellency the Forty-Something Sanders Knight, who had designed to kill Viscount Zack, was deceived by their son, an honest and simple fourteen-year-old country nobleman who had not even touched a woman, and searched the hunting grounds in the mountains and forests all day, exhausting all the strength of the Niclair family's private army, but only found the corpses of his companions?" Sa Ying asked in some surprise.

Sanders's fairly handsome face instantly turned red, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Waste."

His face suddenly turned purple, and Sanders hurriedly defended: "Your Excellency Saying, please listen to my explanation......"

"I don't want to hear your explanation." Saying said with a chill on his face: "The master temporarily handed over my command to you not to let you exercise your eloquence, but to kill the Niklael family and get their territory, tell me about your plan, although it may not be useful, but let's listen to it first." ”

Taking a deep breath, Sanders suppressed the poisonous fire that was almost boiling in his heart, although this guy Sa Ying is as disgusting as a rat in the gutter, but the strength of a sword master level is real, and his status in the eyes of that adult is much higher than himself, no matter how black and poisonous this guy's mouth is, he has to endure it.

A smile squeezed out of his thin face, and Sanders explained carefully: "Your Excellency Saying, because of the incompetence of my subordinate commercial manager Rem, we still don't know which chamber of commerce brought Duran's kid into Baishan Town, but I think we have reason to believe that these greedy chambers of commerce are likely to put forward some harsh conditions for Duran's current predicament in exchange for their support, and once we are given time to mobilize our strength, we will become very passive." ”

"So although some misunderstandings have led to the loss of the combat power of the Niclair family's private army, we currently have the elite of the entire Black Mountain bandit group and the twenty private knights in my knight's territory to call on, and at the same time, although the combat power of that private army has been reduced due to the loss of physical strength, it has not been completely lost, plus your strength, our strength is still far superior to Duran."

"Later tonight, we will gather all our forces to take Niclair Manor directly while Duran's little mess is unprepared, as long as we can kill Duran himself, we are still the winners!"

The coldness on his face gradually faded, Sa Ying pondered for a moment, nodded in Sanders's stunned gaze and said: "Crude plan, but it's not unfeasible, if it weren't for the master's worry about the anger of the Grand Duke, I would have taken off the head of that little ghost a long time ago, so why bother like now." ”

As if thinking of something, Sanders reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency Sa Ying, the information just now shows that Billy and they are suspected of being killed by lightning, and it is speculated that I think that the earth girl who followed Duran is likely to be a thunderbolt-based mage, and please try to bring some thunder-based magic armor when you act tonight." ”

"A lightning mage...... It's no wonder that Billy was killed. A sneer appeared on his thin face, and Sa Ying smiled proudly: "But the mage is just a prey in front of thieves of the same rank, if that girl is the confidence of Duran's little ghost to fight against his master, then I will let him know what the fear of death is." ”

Sanders flicked his tongue, and a flood of beautiful words poured into Saying, finally making a smile on his bitter and hateful face.

Reserved and snorted, Sa Ying said coldly: "Anyway, tonight is your last chance, seize it, you will become the master of this land, you can't catch it, you don't need me to say anything about your fate, in short, I will fully cooperate with your actions, as for the rest, you can do it yourself." ”

Before the words fell, Saying's figure had already drifted away with the wind.

As soon as Saying left, Sanders seemed to have all his strength taken away, and he didn't care about the mess, he sat on the ground, his trembling hand took out a box of cigars from his arms, lit it and took a deep puff, the smoke made his face look blurred, but those gray-blue eyes were full of fierce madness like a lone wolf who was cornered.
