410. in the first place
When the Blackhorn Phantom was forcibly sealed by Sean in an extremely unwilling mood, an extremely strong storm suddenly erupted from the house.
For Sean and the others, it's just a stronger air current.
But for the thick black fog outside the house, it is like a deadly virus.
All of the black mist was peeled away from the air little by little in the form of lumps, and then quickly turned into ashes and drifted into the air. When the black fog dissipated to a certain extent, the illusion could no longer be maintained, and the surrounding environment began to become a little clearer, street after street, house after house, but the blood smell was so strong that it was disgusting that permeated the entire small Barrom Street.
Sean and the others quickly left the house and returned to the street.
However, even if everyone had already been mentally prepared when they heard the screams on the street in the house, when they returned to the street and witnessed the scene on the street, even Christina's face changed slightly.
Blood, almost half of the street outside Roberts' mansion was stained red.
Stumps and severed arms were all over the floor, and the faces of many soldiers were not even frightened and stunned, but angry.
Even if Sean and the others have the worst strength, they have the level of a quasi-holy realm, and their eyesight is beyond doubt.
So they could see at a glance that many of the soldiers who fell to the ground had almost completely squeezed their potential. This way of fighting can indeed burst out with greater lethality and combat effectiveness in the process of fighting, but afterwards they will basically end up with a very serious illness, and many soldiers will not be able to continue fighting even after that. You can only be discharged to the logistics line or serve as a recruit instructor.
The faces of Sean and the others looked unusually ugly.
At this moment. Even if the illusion has been removed, the black mist has dissipated very faintly. But there are still many soldiers with red eyes and still fighting each other.
It's hard to imagine what these soldiers are seeing in front of their eyes, and what makes them fight so hard.
However, Sean and the others are not from the Northern Duchy Federation after all, so naturally they can't know what these people are seeing, and they can't understand the reason for their hatred and anger against each other. But fortunately, as the black fog completely dissipated, the tyrannical aura in the air began to gradually disappear, and these soldiers were estimated to recover soon, but in the process, they were afraid that they would have to pay hundreds of more lives.
"Ahh That's when it happened. A heart-rending roar suddenly resounded in the night sky.
Listening to the voice, everyone is no stranger.
This is Woody. Wyeran's voice.
Everyone immediately ran quickly to the place where the sound sounded.
I saw Woody at this time, there were many tears in the robe on his body, and even a few centimeter-long scars could be seen in it. His whole body was stained red with blood, and his whole body looked extremely terrifying like a bloody person. But what was really even more terrifying was that there were more than 500 corpses lying around him, none of which were intact, and it was obvious from the scars of the corpses that they had been killed by extremely sharp heavy weapons. Because many of the mutilated parts of the corpses have even been slapped into meat sauce.
Levi and Elisa, who had never experienced such a bloody scene, seemed to have a hard time adapting.
Alyssa even retched directly.
The sharp-eyed Sean found that among the large pile of corpses, there was a mutilated corpse with a disfigured face. But judging from the clothing, it is clear that this person is the guard next to Asazi.
Obviously, the Black Horn Phantom Demon also knew the power of the [Wy'an Cavalry Legion]. Knowing that it would be difficult for them to cause real big trouble by relying only on the chaotic fighting of soldiers, he actually used illusion to get these soldiers to cooperate with the lower Sacred Domain powerhouse. A siege was launched against Woody. Although judging from the current situation, the combination of that powerhouse of the lower Sacred Domain and this sixth-level army did cause some trouble for Woody. But it was obviously impossible to kill Woody with this, because everyone could see that Woody, who had slaughtered so many people and even killed the powerhouse of the Holy Domain, still had obvious combat ability at this time.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Woody turned his head suddenly, the evil aura in his eyes did not disappear, but his eyes were very clear.
Apparently, he had regained consciousness and was no longer affected by the illusion of the Black Horn Illusion.
And perhaps it was also because of his hissing roar just now, which woke up the other soldiers who had not fully recovered, and the remaining soldiers began to gather one after another.
In tonight's battle, Woody mobilized the [Wy'an Cavalry Legion] garrison throughout Aderoan City.
But they didn't want to, the defensive net they had worked so hard to lay down had not completely stopped the demon from intercepting it, and they actually suffered more than half of the casualties in the internal friction, which simply made Woody feel so distressed that he was going crazy. Because no one knows better than him how difficult the training of the [Wy'an Cavalry Legion] is, after all, this is a sixth-level army, and it is the real trump card of the entire Wy'an family, without this powerful army, the Wy'an family will not be able to occupy the right to speak in the Principality of Hemadine.
The name of the prefix "strength" is not only a symbol of glory and power, but at the same time, it is also an invisible shackle.
Woody looked at Sean and the others with a strange look in their eyes.
There is no previous fear, but there is no enthusiasm, and there is only a kind of indifference.
Sean's brow furrowed slightly.
Because he is no stranger to this kind of look.
Sean had seen this look in many of the political enemies of the kingdom of Lane, but there was more of a fear in them. After all, the name of the Grand Duke of the Void is truly the real thing that has been fought in countless wars and battles, so they hate and fear Sean, but they only dare to scold a few words in private, because after the revenge of the blood flag, no one in the whole Ryan dares to provoke this madman.
But in Woody's eyes, Sean saw no fear.
"That demon is gone." Sean stopped Christina, who wanted to speak, and said in a deep voice, "For the current situation. We apologize. β
The corners of Woody's eyes twitched slightly.
Sean knew that the other party was trying to restrain the anger in his heart.
"Now that the matter has been settled. Then I won't send it. Woody didn't turn his face on the spot in the end, perhaps because Levi had made too much impression on him before. He didn't have the confidence to be able to deal with the combination of Christina and Levi, as for Sean, Woody didn't pay attention to it, after all, no matter how restrained the aura on Sean's body was, in the eyes of a Sacred Domain powerhouse like them, he could still judge some clues, and only people in the same realm would not be able to see Sean's specific strength.
But there are strong people around Sean!
Moreover, at this time, Sean and the others were still wearing the cloak of the Peace Council, so no matter how angry Woody was, he even wanted to leave Sean and the others behind. But he still had to restrain this thought, otherwise he was afraid that the Peace Council would not let him go. Moreover, the [Wy'an Cavalry Legion] suffered such heavy losses, I am afraid that his internal status in the Principality of Hemadion will also decline because of this, and if the Peace Council comes to trouble him, then with the help of some well-intentioned people in the Principality, he is afraid that he will lose this territory.
For the sake of the family's interests and his own political future, Woody naturally couldn't say anything, not even cruel words and scenes.
Of course. He also understands that there is no point in saying these empty words.
can become a person who hangs the word "strength" in front of the title of nobility, and none of them are brainless.
"We see, when we're sure all the heretics in the city are settled. We'll be gone. Sean nodded slightly and said, at this time, he naturally couldn't say that they would leave now, otherwise it would be too suspicious.
And. Sean also planned to use the teleportation magic array here, and he didn't have much time to waste.
"What do you mean. Does the city of Aderoan still need to remain under lockdown? Woody's expression froze.
"The demon has been solved, and the next thing is just some investigation and aftermath." Sean said lightly. "Tomorrow afternoon, you can start working on restoring the teleportation magic array, and if everything is in order, the blockade can be lifted the day after tomorrow."
Woody's face was cloudy, but he finally nodded and said, "I see." β
Immediately afterward, a series of orders were quickly issued.
Sean knew that Woody had developed a grudge against both of them, and it was impossible to mend the relationship. But anyway, the matter has come to this point, and he doesn't feel the need to mend any more relationships, but quickly leaves with Christina and the others. At this time, Sean was really afraid that Christina would suddenly go crazy and shake out some unnecessary trouble, and then it would really hurt the egg.
It is impossible to clean up Little Barrom Street without more than three or four days.
It is not possible for the inhabitants who have been sent out to return to live here until the rectification is completed, so what happened tonight on Little Barrom Street is destined to become a legend of the city of Aderoan - don't expect these soldiers to keep their mouths shut, and after a few more visits to the tavern, I am afraid that stories will start to circulate, and then it will become a rumor like "urban legend".
Sean and the others didn't stay any longer, and now that Woody had made it clear that they weren't welcome, they certainly wouldn't stay any longer.
Of course, if he really thinks that Woody is very hateful about them, Sean is not so naΓ―ve.
There was definitely hatred, after all, he had almost half the strength of the army in tonight.
But to say that there is no harvest is also impossible.
Everything Roberts had in the city of Aderoan would become the new capital of the Wy'an familyβas a heretic, having dormant in the city of Aderoan for so many years, trying to build such a base camp, the wealth he had accumulated was not low. If all this money was swallowed by the Wy'an family, it would definitely be enough to make up for Woody's loss tonight - of course, this was with Sean's knowledge, and Woody would not know how rich his gains would be until Roberts' assets were inventoried.
Shaun only hopes that Woody's appetite isn't too big.
Because Asaz is now estimated to be unable to become the so-called richest man in Aderoan City, coupled with the fact that all the defense forces under his command are dead, his opponents will definitely suppress him at this time, forcing him to shrink his business scope and projects, and it is even likely that he will have to give up some industries to keep himself safe. At this time. If Woody had said he wanted to swallow Asaz's assets, Asaz would have no ability to resist at all.
Instinctively. After all, Sean, who swallowed 500,000 Asazi, naturally didn't want to see Asazi's assets swallowed.
But think about it. Sean also felt that he had no position to say these words.
The Cloak of the Peace Council is indeed quite safe, but it is also a shackle that restricts Sean from having to keep peace on many issues. However, if Asazi's assets were really swallowed, Sean felt that it might be a good thing.
Rubbing his chin, Sean began to carefully consider the pros and cons.
As a qualified and good lord, Sean has a lot to consider, such as......
It is obviously not fortunate that Asazi, a big businessman, can have the status and achievements he has today. Rather, it has its corresponding strength. And a person like this, if used properly, is undoubtedly a sharp blade that can be used in commerce, and what the Void Duchy really lacks today is this type of person. And thinking of this, Sean even thinks that Woody should be greedy.
"Perhaps, I should add a fire?"
"What are you thinking?" Christina asked suddenly.
"Oh, nothing." Sean was asked by Christina before he came back to his senses, "That's right." Stay here for two more days and leave the day after tomorrow. β
"Do you think there are heretics in this city?" Christina asked, widening her eyes.
"No, I believe that the infidels have been resolved, if not yet. Woody will have solved it for us before. Sean began, "With Woody's character, Roberts is dead. It is impossible for him not to annex these properties. And after the annexation, he will definitely not be handed over to Roberts's original team to manage. So the people of the Wy'an family will definitely take over, so what follows is naturally a silent bloody purge. β
Christina's brows furrowed: "What does this have to do with me?" I don't have that much time to spend here. I didn't find what I was looking for in the study just now. I have to get it back before anyone else gets it. β
Hearing Christina's words, Sean remembered that after dealing with the demon before, Christina seemed to be in a hurry to find something in the study. At this time, he heard Christina say this, so Sean asked, "What makes you so anxious?" β
"The Demon Codex." Christina said in a deep voice, "One of the three holy artifacts of the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, I must recycle this thing. β
Hearing that what Christina was looking for was actually the Demon Codex, Sean was stunned for a moment.
But who is Christina?
Looking at Sean's reaction, it was immediately clear that Sean obviously knew the inside story.
And recalling the actions of the Peace Council in the past few years, from the first time to eliminate the Medusa Chamber of Commerce to eradicate the nest of Deaththorn and now to completely uproot the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, Christina felt a subtle chill rise in her heart for the first time, so she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You know the whereabouts of the Demon Codex, right?" β
Sean nodded helplessly and said, "I do know, I met it once on the way, but I didn't expect it to be one of the three holy weapons of the Medusa Chamber of Commerce." β
Hearing Sean's words, Christina was stunned for a moment: "You actually don't know about it?" β
"I'm not a prophet, so it's possible to know everything." Sean smiled bitterly, he probably knew what kind of role he was playing in Christina's eyes, but this kind of thing, since Christina didn't say it explicitly, of course Sean wouldn't say anything, "I do know where the Demon Codex is, and that master can be regarded as indirectly dying at my hands......"
"The Demon Codex in your hands?" Christina immediately asked impatiently.
"Not really." Sean shook his head, "That book, now in Akaz Beisen, I can draw you a rough map of the location, and you can look for it in that range." Because I was not the one who killed the owner of the book at that time, I only know the approximate scope of the battle, and the book is probably left at the scene of the battle. β¦β¦ However, that place is dangerous and ordinary people don't go deep, so you don't have to worry. β
"Then ......," Christina frowned for a moment, and then said a little unnaturally, "I know your rules and habits very well, what do you need me to do for you this time in exchange for this map?" β
Hearing Christina's words, Sean was a little surprised, but then smiled again: "It's good for you to stay here for two days." If we leave here now, it will cause some unnecessary trouble, tomorrow we will pretend to deal with the aftermath of the infidels, and you can leave the day after tomorrow when the blockade is lifted, and I will also leave here through the teleportation magic array. β
"Okay." Christina thought for a moment, then nodded.
In fact, he still wanted to ask Sean and the others why they were here, but after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't ask. Because she knows Sean too well, after all, it's not the first time to deal with her, knowing that this man is a guy who believes in equivalent exchange, if she wants to get some information, she must have some exchange, Christina thinks that she has nothing to exchange, so she wisely chooses to shut up.
It's just that just as Sean and the others left Little Barrom Street, Woody also urgently returned to the City Lord's Mansion after receiving a notice.
For in his mansion came at this time two guests who were more distinguished to him than the Archduke Hermadine.
Two sons from the Church of the God of War. (To be continued......)
PS: I think it's better to have a coherence in the plot, so I've integrated it, and I'm going to do it today.
