Chapter 79: Robbery and Murder (II)
Of course, the so-called turtle speed is also relative, after all, no matter how slow the horse pulls, it cannot be slower than the turtle, and the speed of the turtle is not necessarily very slow. When Chen Kai and the others were extremely vigilant, the carriage slowly drove slowly in the Isthmus of Mozaffi, and the sound of the carriage crushing on the ground was extremely clear in the isthmus.
The bells on the carriage were constantly tinkling under the blowing of the mountain wind, and the sound of the horses' hooves was extremely quiet. In this case, all the mercenaries did not speak, because any high-minded talk would seem contrived.
The reputation of the Mozarfi Isthmus in the Rohan Empire is no better than that of the Zafaro Forest, so it is definitely problematic to talk about pretending to be calm here except for the brain-dead. On the contrary, extraordinary caution was the only thought of all merchants when they crossed the isthmus, and Chen Kai and the others did the same. However, when the carriage reached the middle of the isthmus, the expected attack did not appear, which made many of the mercenaries even more nervous.
Because the middle of the entire Mozarfi Isthmus is the most dangerous part of the entire Great Mozafi Pass, which is the place where Chen Kai and his family just passed, the road here is the narrowest, and at the same time, there are the most cracks in the ground around. These crevices, which are said to be able to connect to the underworld, often lead to the emergence of some underground dwellers, from shadow scorpions to dark elves and other magical beasts or intelligent beings. In such an environment, there is no such thing as safety at all, and there will be terrible smoke blowing from the cracks in the ground. Some of the cracks also have skull marks marked with wooden plaques with a symbol representing poison painted on them, apparently a crack that spews poisonous gas.
Such a crack in the ground was on the edge of a major road, and the price to pay for discovering it in the first place was extremely heavy. A whole caravan of nearly 200 people was poisoned by the poisonous gas spewed from the cracks in the ground, although the cracks were blocked later, but because the accumulated pressure will become greater and greater day by day, the final outcome will be even more miserable. When the fissures were swept away by the accumulation of poisonous gas, half of the roads of the Great Isthmus of Mozarfi were covered with poisonous fog. It took nearly two weeks for the Rohan Empire to clear the gathering poisonous fog, and the damage caused was far greater than if the cracks in the ground were not blocked.
Chen Kai: Their luck is very good. By the time we passed through this, the crack had already erupted. This is definitely good news for Chen Kai and them, and it can only reduce their nervousness a little. But everyone knew that when they walked into this isthmus, the wheels of fate began to turn at high speed. Now everyone is silently praying, praying that they will not be crushed by the wheels of fate.
The carriage was still moving forward, and instead of letting go as the carriage was about to leave this dangerous area, everyone began to become more nervous. The most dangerous time is never when the danger has just arrived, but when the so-called danger has just passed. Perhaps when you thought it was dangerous and let your guard down in the past, the Grim Reaper began to swing his scythe and fell towards her head.
"Nima's! It's so blatant! Fei Yun looked at the robbers standing in the middle of the road not far away. In fact, at this moment, they remembered the robber who had robbed them for the first time in the Zafaro forest. It's just that these people in front of them are more powerful than the robbers, at least there were not a few robbers in the original gang who were heavily armoured, and there were not a few strong people at the level of big knights. The most important thing is that the two leaders are wearing a piece of silver heavy armor, and at the same time, the professional logo on their chests shows the identity of the other party's high-ranking knight, that is, a tenth-order powerhouse. As the two reserve holy domains, coming to bully Chen Kai, these caravans with the highest rank of a ninth-order warrior, Chen Kai felt very depressed and unhappy in his heart. "It's more than blatant. It's just bullying! Two tenth-order great knights, why don't those guys just send two holy realms over! Xu Fei swallowed, although the tenth-order great knight was nothing to the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, but for them players, it was an unattainable existence. Because no matter how they say it, they are only sixty-one, and the tenth-order great knight is a hundred-level being. …,
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! If two Sanctuaries were to be sent over, the fool would know what Archduke Miranda and Marquis Zafaro wanted to do, and it would be dangerous to mobilize more than tenth-order powerhouses within the empire. Without the permission of the Emperor or the Temple, the Holy Rank powerhouses were not allowed to leave their places and wander around. This is true even if it is a sanctuary that is loyal to a certain lord, because a sanctuary powerhouse is fully capable of infiltrating various lords' mansions to assassinate lords. This is a very scary thing! Therefore, without the permission of His Majesty the Emperor or the Possession of the Temple, no Sanctuary powerhouse could leave the place where they were supposed to stay, and they had to register after entering the city! Hammertower's words made everyone understand that it was not that the two great nobles did not want to send out the Sanctuary, but that the powerhouses of the Sanctuary were very restricted in their actions within the Rohan Empire. According to Hammer Tower, if this kind of private affairs, especially robbery, is discovered, there may not be anything below the Holy Rank, but above the Holy Rank, it will be a taboo for all the great nobles.
Because of this, even though Archduke Miranda and Marquis Zafaro have the ability to deal with all the nobles, they still dare not touch the bottom line in the hearts of all the nobles. That is, they would never send out the powerhouses of the Holy Realm to carry out this kind of assassination or robbery, because the destructive power of the Saint Rank and above was too terrifying. Once you do it, it is very difficult for the target to survive or get the light. Even sometimes it will be more severe by the light. Because some aristocratic families themselves are guarded by the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, if the two Holy Domains fight to the death, then at least half of the city can be destroyed. Especially when it comes to one's own family. Even if it is a continuation of one's own descendants, even an ordinary holy domain may burst out with the combat power of a title-level powerhouse. In this kind of battle, there are countless cases of burning lives and even souls to fight, and even the imperial capital of Hansting directly destroyed one-third of the city because of the life-and-death struggle between the two holy domains.
Therefore, no matter in which country, any Sacred Realm above the Sacred Realm must be allowed to enter the city, and if the Sacred Domain powerhouses from other places attack the Sacred Domains subordinate to the city in this city, then all the powerhouses in the same city must defeat each other in a short time. Even revenge is not allowed, of course, for some powerful legends, such rules are as non-binding as a blank sheet of paper. Their strength allows them to act unscrupulously where there are no legends, and they can do anything as long as they don't provoke other legends, even some of the higher legends even have some small principalities in mind. To put it bluntly, as long as you have strength in the game, even the law can be trampled on. But if you don't have the strength, then even if you are a dragon, you have to do things according to the established rules.
Therefore, Chen Kai and the others only saw two tenth-order powerhouses now, not two holy domains. If there were really two holy realms, let alone Hammer Tower, no matter how terrifying Fei Yun's heavy crossbow was, no matter how powerful the spells released by Xu Fei's gun staff were, it would be useless.
"Hammer Tower, the Axe Mercenary, and this huge figure should be the Flame Two-Headed Lion Kaichen? Saint? Lapston? Lord Berkner, right? The high knight wearing the family crest of Grand Duke Miranda slowly urged the war horse out of the crowd, and he looked at Chen Kai and them with condescending eyes, as if he was superior. In fact, even if he was an ordinary bodyguard, as one of the personal guards of the Grand Duke Miranda, he could be arrogant in status compared to many low-ranking nobles. Even the baron seemed to him to be an ordinary man, for he had seen too many barons prostrate in front of the Archduke Miranda like dogs.
"The little lord dares to offend the Marquis of Zafaro! It seems that you have really lived enough! It turned out to be a traveler, no wonder he is so not afraid of death!! The great knight who belonged to the Marquis of Zafaro raised his arrogant head and showed a disdainful look at Chen Kai, but his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of greed as they swept over Chen Kai's armor. But after comparing the heights of the two sides, he found that even if he transformed Chen Kai's armor, he might not be able to wear it.
"What more nonsense! To put it bluntly, it's not that they don't plan to let us go. Could it be that you would be kind enough to let the mercenaries here go! Don't laugh, those blood-dripping bags behind your ass should be the heads of the mercenaries who left beforehand! Xu Fei's words made the faces of several mercenaries who wanted to retreat change, and at the same time looked at the back seat of the big knight's war horse, where a large bag of dripping objects was constantly exuding bloody gas.
