Although Hernandez had taken refuge in Gordon, he still had ties to some members of the Aldrich family. Because after the original mission, the king of Hywen gave him the task of staying in the south of the peninsula, contacting various forces that secretly defected to the Aldrich family, and then dealing with Gordon together.

And after Gordon got a list of those involved in the Aldridge family from Hernandez, he did not immediately start cleaning up these people, but secretly monitored them and temporarily stood still.

Because there is no scare, so now, Abel . Mr. Aldrich still doesn't know that the Arcane Shadow Thief, whom he trusts, has taken refuge in Gordon. One qiē seems to be under his control, as always. He is now busy rebuilding his army in Black Iron City, and is in contact with the pirates he used to know from the Steam Sea, preparing to attack Gordon's territory together.

According to Hernandez, the Aldrich family's attackers will be in action tomorrow night, and they are now staying in Cloud Scale City as a smuggler group.

"My lord, should we take action immediately and wipe out all of these Aldrich men?" Hernandez asked.

It was the right choice. It is the safest choice to take the initiative and take the threat by surprise to eliminate the infancy.

But Gordon had other plans.

"This is an opportunity for the King of Hyperven to break the wall, and I have to take advantage of it." "After this incident, you're officially in office, and you're going to be security officer. The treatment is based on the Woodlow who once scared you enough, canonized as an honorary knight. But there's so much going on in the territory these days. Surveying and demarcating the land is a complex and delicate task that takes a long time to complete. Therefore, your fiefdom and food town have not been found for the time being. ”

Mention that with a negative face. The ponytail man who opened his mouth and closed his mouth was a ponytail man with all kinds of terrible punishments, and Hernandez couldn't help but smile wryly. Fortunately, the treatment promised by Gordon also made him excited, and secretly sighed that although he decided to betray the Aldrich family because of the threat to his life, it seems that this is a good choice now.

Although the Knight of Honor is not officially a nobleman, it is at least a title canonized by a dignified Imperial Earl. It's also very face-saving to say it.

Although the natives of this wild peninsula did not know what this meant, Hernandez, who had once mingled in the circle of the imperial aristocracy, knew that even if he was just an honorary knight, he was very popular in those big cities.

"I'm not too young...... Maybe when the lord's career is on the right track, it's time to find a good woman to start a family? ”

Hernandez didn't know why, but his heart suddenly turned to this land that was still immature but thriving. A sense of belonging is generated.

"Besides," Gordon finally added, "I don't have a lot of intelligence talent at my disposal, so you'll have to build your own team when you take office." You've been in this business for so many years, you should have a lot of contacts, right? I just need the information you provide me with timely, truthful and reliable. As for the rest, you can make up your own mind. ”

Although it sounds difficult to start from scratch, Hernandez heard another meaning from Gordon's words.

Let him form his own team, instead of planting another man. Mutual checks and balances are formed. This kind of leader's practice, he has almost never heard of. For Hernandez. That's certainly a good thing. Because it means that he will have more power and autonomy.

"This lord believes in me like that? Or...... He is confident enough that even if I intend to betray, he will be able to detect it in time and eliminate all this hidden danger? ”

Hernandez shuddered, not knowing what was going on. He remembered how confident he had been and how he had been caught by the Earl of Hyperven in the end, and he couldn't help but be even more in awe of the mage's methods.

After receiving news of Hernandez, Gordon began to prepare for the attackers sent by Hensel and Greda.

After dinner the next day, the entire Sea Cliff Fort, whether it was open or dark, had been arranged, and it was waiting to surprise the enemy.

Gordon wasn't nervous and in a state of imminent battle. He was in Miss Ji'er's bedroom, chatting with the female knight Sigrid with a relaxed face.

The temperature on the Haiwen Peninsula has been rising rapidly since the beginning of spring. After the rainy days of the previous days, it has been a very sunny day. The side effect of this is that the female knight Sigrid has turned into a fire form again.

Concerned about his eldest lady's injury, coupled with limited patience, Sigrid will come to see Gordon at the end of three days, and ask him to try his best to remove all the toxins in Ji'er's body and let her wake up early. After all, although there is no major problem for the time being, this kind of prolonged coma does have a great impact on physical function.

After the news spread that Gordon had dealt with the evil spirits that had been entrenched in Strindberg, his prestige grew, and more and more groups came to take refuge and express their allegiance. And just this morning, there was a special visitor who asked to see Gordon. He was a messenger sent by the Ekan people of the swamp tribe.

Like the Salou people, who once occupied the city hall of Cloudscale, worshipped the evil god Zehir, and loved to raise poisonous snakes, the Aikan people also live in the Blackwater Swamp in the southern part of the Hyven Peninsula. However, this tribe worships the god of nature and is well-versed in the science of herbs. Their leader is a druid, who is said to be the most capable person on the peninsula to heal Miss Gil's injuries.

The druid had completed a mysterious ritual in the depths of the swamp, and upon his return to the Clan, he heard that Gordon had put down the spirits of Strindberg. So the other party immediately sent someone to contact Gordon.

If Gordon agrees to accept the Akhans, then the druid will personally set off for Seacliff Castle to pledge his allegiance to Gordon.

The other party is so positive, which is naturally a good thing for Gordon. However, he knew that in addition to solving Strindberg himself, there was another reason, that is, the conflict between the Aikan and the Salou had intensified. They desperately need protection from a powerful force.

Although the Aikan people are the largest tribe in the swamp region. The population is much larger than that of the Salou, but the problem is that the Aikan are far less effective than the Sarlo, who are good at using poison and are insidious and vicious. In addition, after their own patriarch was killed by Gordon, the Salou people are constantly rallying in the swamp to gather those forces who have been co-opted by the King of Hyven to oppose Gordon's rule.

The Salou are now in great shape, and the Akan people feel more and more at risk. So I was very motivated to get in touch with Gordon.

Since the other party has something to ask for, it will be easier to save Ji'er.

As for the now-seemingly menacing union of the Salous, there is nothing to worry about for Gordon. He now deliberately allowed the Salou people to gather all kinds of opposition forces, so that when the time was ripe in the future, he would be able to wipe them all out and completely quell the internal troubles. Consolidate your rule in the south of the peninsula.

Because Sigrid knew that Sigrid in the form of fire was hot and hot, he couldn't afford to wait, so Gordon notified Sigrid as soon as possible.

After getting this good news, the red female knight with a straightforward personality and will not hide her feelings. Almost jumped with joy.

She grabbed Gordon's hand and said excitedly, "Lord Earl, are you telling the truth?" Great, Miss, she's finally saved. ”

Every day, although there is a priest of Lierya who performs magic for Ji'er to maintain her life function. However, he looked in a coma, and his face became paler day by day. Miss Ji'er, whose body is also getting thinner and thinner day by day, Sigrid is in a very uncomfortable mood. Now that things have finally taken a turn for the better, it's no wonder that she is so difficult to suppress the love in her heart.

"Thank you for your help and help for so long, I can't ...... enough," Sigrid said to Gordon with an excited expression. The two of them held this position for nearly ten seconds before she realized that she had been holding the man's hand.

As if holding a red-hot soldering iron, Sigrid let go of Gordon's hand, letting the latter sigh at the fleeting softness of her hands.

"I was rude just now...... Lord Earl, I—I just heard good news...... Overly excited...... "The female knight's face was as red as her color at this time. She kept apologizing, secretly blaming herself in her heart.

"Glory, integrity, and propriety...... Sigrid, where are the chivalric virtues you used to observe? Why are you always so gaffe in front of this man? ”

Maybe it was that intimate encounter at the banquet in the Black Iron City, Sigrid for some reason, she can't face Gordon with a normal mentality now. Not only is he often cranky, but he is also prone to make some out-of-the-ordinary actions. In the water state, this situation is fine, but in the fire state, the situation is even worse.

Thankfully, Gordon didn't seem to notice Sigrid's psychological changes, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

The mage didn't say a word about what had just happened, but said, "There is an enemy coming to attack Sea Cliff Castle tonight, I hope you can be vigilant." Although their target is the young master of Simon who is under house arrest in the south building, Ji'er is now in a coma in bed and is also the object of key protection. ”

Sigrid calmed down her chaotic emotions and nodded, "I know, Lord Count. With me and the other eight Phoenix Knights here, Miss Ji'er's safety will not be a problem. ”

No sooner had she finished speaking than a cacophony of shouts erupted from outside the room, followed by a fierce fight of metal.

"It's coming!" Gordon's heart sank.

He had expected the attackers to strike again in the dead of night, but he did not expect to attack shortly after dinner, just after nightfall.

Through Guò Hernandez, Gordon already fully understood the strength and ins of the attacker. There were more than fifty of them, all of whom had been selected from the various adventurers, mercenaries, retired soldiers, and pirates that the Aldrich family had recruited over the years.

With an average level of five or above, it is indeed a force to be reckoned with. Moreover, they also have all kinds of magic items prepared by Hensel and Greda, which is also quite tricky.

But fortunately, there is not even a good player in this group of people who is above the tenth level, let alone above the fifteenth level, who can be called a "strong person".

So for Gordon, as long as there is full preparation and targeted arrangement, this group of people is not difficult to deal with. He didn't even have to do it himself.

Gordon had already heard it, and the initial shout was Yang Qi. Pointed ears out. The sharp-eyed half-elf must have been the first to appear in the darkness of the night, so he reminded him.

The battle went on for a while. Two shining balls of light rose into the sky, bringing the Sea Cliff Fort in the dark night. It was brightly lit. This should be Durina's means. Although his direct combat effectiveness is very weak, at the right time, casting a few suitable spells can also play a role in turning the tide of the battle.

Under the light of the arcane light, the invaders, dressed in black, sneaking over the walls from all over the castle into the back garden of the castle, suddenly had nothing to hide. Knowing the route of their invasion, the redstone guards who had laid ambush throughout the castle. Immediately deliver a merciless blow to the enemy with the crossbow bolt in your hand.

After the attack, the Aldrich invaders fled in all directions, some throwing knick-knacks such as cloud bombs to hide their figures. There are even some guys who have been provoked by the death of their companions, and instead of retreating, they continue to charge, relying on the various magic items provided by the twin siblings. I want to force my way out.

Naturally, their fate was miserable. Because these invaders are not only dealt with by the crossfire network of the Redstone Guard, but also by the various touch spell traps that Gordon secretly set up in the garden.

It didn't take long for the battle to come to an end with a one-sided situation. Woodrow, Theodore, Rufus, and Janch soon began to lead their soldiers in a carpet search, looking for enemies who had slipped through the net. Hernandez, on the other hand, walked with his newly recruited men on the outskirts of the castle. Let's see if you can catch a big fish that sneaks out of the castle.

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Gordon muttered to himself. He said goodbye to Sigrid and prepared to go to the room where Mr. Roshan was under house arrest. The aftermath of the attack won't end there, and he's going to have to create a little chaos for the Aldrich family.

He said goodbye to Sigrid and had just walked out of the room when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his surroundings.

After all sorts of battles. Gordon has long cultivated a keen intuition about changes in his surroundings. Extraordinarily sensitive. So, while raising his vigilance, he opened the eyes of truth and warning.

When that special arcane energy transformed Gordon's pitch-black eyes into amber, he was immediately startled. For Gordon saw a figure glowing with dark red magic in the eyes of truth and warning, like the same spider, with large characters attached to the ceiling, and looking at him with a playful eye.

Although she was masked, Gordon could tell from the other party's bumpy figure because of her night clothes that this was a woman.

After the eyes of the two people met for a moment, they were stunned.

Gordon was naturally surprised by the fact that there were no strangers lurking outside the door. And this woman, too, was obviously surprised that Gordon could manifest his own existence.

After a brief moment of silence, Gordon immediately pronounced the command, summoned the activation shield, and rolled over to retreat into the room again.

Bite! Bite! Bite! Bite!

After four crisp metal clashes, the surface of the activated shield, covered with a thick layer of pure gold, was actually inserted with four viciously shaped throwing knives. The bright red color on the blade was probably some terrible poison.

Gordon was shocked, he didn't expect the strength of this female assassin to be so amazing, and the throwing knife she threw could actually be embedded into the surface of the hard activated shield.

With such a strong penetrating power, if it were shot directly at him, even if he had armor such as the salamander cloak and fish scale breastplate, I was afraid that he would be seriously injured.

"Sigrid, there are enemies!" Gao Dengchao didn't know what was going on, but the female knight who looked at him with a strange face shouted. He then commanded the Activation Shield to shoot a dissociation spell at the enemy, and at the same time blessed himself with various protective spells.

Although Gordon's spell casting is now much faster than that of ordinary mages due to his mastery of Akhorsia's quick spellcasting specialty, in this emergency situation, he still does not hesitate to use mana to activate the spell instant.

Almost instantly, Gordon's body began to shine with all kinds of magical aura.

"Damn mage!" A shrill and cold rebuke rang out.

The female assassin was now only dodging the dissociation technique for a short time, and she let her assassination target react, and blessed herself with multiple spell protection. At this moment, the difficulty of assassination suddenly increased a lot, so she couldn't help but curse.

I thought that with my stealth ability, I could ambush outside the door unknowingly, and then when the target came out and left with his back to him, he succeeded in a sneak attack with one blow, and then fled away.

Who knew that the other party actually showed himself for the first time, and then made countermeasures.

The female Assassin knew she couldn't afford to delay too long, or reinforcements would arrive soon. She gently pronounced a password in the abyssal language, and a faint red light suddenly emanated from her body.

She felt her strength and strength increase rapidly, and her blood flowed through her body as if it were driven by a giant dragon.

Gordon didn't see the female assassin chanting the Abyss Spell and using her special abilities to increase her strength, but when the enemy rushed into the house, he immediately knew that the other party was related to the demon.

For Gordon saw a pair of horns looming in her black, and a pointed tail behind her.

Tevlin.

A half-blood offspring born from the union of humans and demons. Not only does it have the characteristics of a demon in its physical appearance, but it also has the power of the abyss in its body.

This kind of enemy is not easy to deal with.
