By the time Viscount "Golden Thorn" finished his speech, the burning fireball in the sky had already slowly fallen from the sky. Half submerged in the sea, it turned the sparkling waves golden yellow.

After this performance, which was mixed with rhythmic magic, Viscount "Golden Thorn" and Mister Esmanger succeeded in instilling in the stricken poor people the idea that the royal family of Eetasia was the most important reason for the criminals in the port of Walter.

Of course, this does not mean that these civilians in front of them will follow the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount to fight against the army of the Eetasia royal family. Maybe in a few days, these thoughts will be replaced by life problems such as "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea".

However, the ability of the demagogue (the troubadour variant) to stir up anger is not so easy to dissipate. From today onwards, this kind of thinking will be like a seed buried deep in the soil, constantly absorbing the extreme emotions in their lives and taking root and sprouting. The result was a flower that met the expectations of Viscount "Golden Thorn" and Mr. Esmunger.

Of course, such a large-scale hint will ultimately be able to achieve what kind of results. Even Mr. Esmunger, an expert, couldn't tell. After all, there are too many factors that affect it. The only thing that is certain is that no matter how good or bad the outcome is, it is basically beneficial to the plans of the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount and the Battle Alliance.

As night falls, flaming torches are planted in front of and behind the houses in the municipal district of Port Volter. Strips of greased cloth twined around the dry sticks, emitting light and heat in the flames, dispelling the fear and cold of the poor camping in the open air.

At the same time, in a certain stone chamber of the temple of justice, there is a rather delicate-looking expired Zhengtai. He was staring at Barrett with tears in his eyes. There was almost blood on the kid's bitten lower lip.

"You little guy can't even talk about people. There's no need to look like you're going to cry! It's like I'm bullying you. Seeing the aborigines in front of me, there was such a reaction. Rao scratched his head with Barrett's experience.

For this kind of psychologically immature little guy, Barrett is really a little bad at coping. He had no choice but to cast a pleading glance at his companions around him. However, the female teammates responded to him with only white eyes like health balls.

Maybe in Riele, Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. In Bot's view, Barrett's previous approach was to bully children (animals). In the eyes of some people who are "cute" and righteous, Barrett's behavior can be regarded as a heinous crime.

"Alright! I've already told you everything. Since you can't refute my remarks yourself, what you need to do now is to go back and ask your mentor if I was wrong. Barrett, who shook his head helplessly at this point, did not forget to add, "If you understand this, you should understand that the paladins are so popular." ”

After saying this, Barrett, who waved his hand, ignored the expired Shota in front of him. And the little guy with red lips and white teeth forcibly endured the sweetness in his heart, and pushed the door away from Barrett's sight with such knowledge.

But when the expiration was too open. Barrett keenly noticed that the other party's body stiffened slightly. At this point, Barrett had a satisfied smile on his face, and then leaned back and lay on his sleeping bag with his legs crossed.

As the door closed, Claudia. Auditore immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Barrett's nose and scolded: "I said you just went too far!" You're embarrassed to bully a kid like this. ”

"What does it mean to bully a child? That guy is not young anymore, okay, if he is in a country manor, he may already be a father at such an age. "Speaking of which, Barrett said to Claudia. Auditore gave a defiant look, "Does our Miss Auditore have any plans to raise a delicious little boy in the game?" If that's the case, you have to hurry, it's hard to find the best like yourself today! And you don't have to worry about legal issues as you do in reality. ”

Under Barrett's subsequent laughter and ambiguous gaze, Claudia. Auditore was so angry that he jumped to his feet: "Bah! Can you, a big man with sores in his head and pus on the soles of his feet, not be so dirty! I just can't look past and say a fair word, how can you, how can you ......"

Face Claudia. Auditore's chattering saliva, Barrett turned his head against the wall and said without looking back: "This problem is originally a matter of opinion. But only you know what some people think in their hearts. ”

Just as the blood-stained gray flowers were chattering and bickering in the temple of the Lord of Justice. Not too far outside the administrative district of Port Volta. The "fire snake" has been meandering forward intermittently. As this "fiery snake" gradually approached, the originally intermittent snake body further split Kale. The torches that make it up soon shine in people's pupils.

The team that had gone to encircle and suppress the smuggling alliance finally returned at this time. However, the sight of them gave the impression that it was different from that of the vigilantes who had returned in the afternoon—the fierce battles had caused great losses to the troops, and at the same time made the living look rather wolf-like.

Even the powerful combat power reinforced by the temple does not seem to be very good at the moment. The soft props such as the cloak and the hood have long since disappeared. It is not known when the feathers and decorations on the helmet were knocked down.

The breastplate that was originally carved with a simple balance and a long sword can no longer be seen in its original texture. One after another openings were imprinted on the breastplate, beating it into potholes and piercing many holes at the same time. I don't know if it's the paladin or the blood of the enemy.

And the body under the armor was now dragging its tired steps, moving step by step towards the administrative district of Port Walter. And when the lookout on the bell tower of the Temple of the Lord of Justice saw this scene in front of him, he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand to prevent it from making a sound.

He found that the number of returning paladins did not match the number of those who had been sent—meaning that in the battle against the Smuggling Alliance, many of the Paladins of the Lord of Justice sacrificed their lives for their ideals.

Although, in a sense. A paladin can die a well-deserved death on the path he is taking. He himself was even able to welcome his new life with no regrets and a smile on his face.

But his friends, parents, and loved ones wept over the news of his passing. The geese have been gramophone, and the people have left their names. Intelligent beings cannot live alone, and the intertwined web represents not only interests but also emotions.

As the distance closes, it is not only the people on the upper floors of the building who notice this tragic situation. Soon, the poor people who had taken refuge in the municipal district also saw this bloody sight - even the gauze was completely dyed red, and there was no trace of its original color, and even the blood oozing gauze fell to the ground drop by drop.

"Oh my God! How so! The screams rose and fell in the crowd. At the same time, the security guards on duty in the administrative district immediately stepped forward to help the injured in a hurry.

Immediately after entering the borough, the paladins of the Lord of Justice parted ways with the noble army that had fought with them - as if they were afraid of having too much to do with the Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird.

Later, you can see that there are waiters in the town office who are constantly rushing out of the gate with medical boxes one after another. Alcohol, gauze, ointments, and bandages are still effective without suturing the doctor.

It didn't take long for priests from the temples in the borough to join the medical team. Although they did not have clear instructions, they did not perform magic on the injured people in front of them. But years of training and medical experience have enabled them to use medical techniques that are much more effective than those of soldiers and attendants.

Soon, the battle damage report of the last crusading team today appeared in front of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird". Listen to Captain Mekpis's work report. Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" consciously had a tendency to leave the white hair on his head.

"10 people were killed, right?" Although the Viscount of "Golden Thorn Bird", who found that the situation was finally within his acceptable range, looked heartbroken, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief deep in his heart.

Facing the cousin of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird", the wide-headed rosacea in front of him gritted his teeth and said, "I'm very sorry for disappointing the expectations of adults!" I, Mekpis, admit the punishment and never complain. ”

"Nope! Being able to control the loss in this situation is already difficult for you. The battle with the Smuggling Alliance must have been hard! Although his expression was stern, the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" did not mean to blame much.

Captain Mekpis, who breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and said, "The strength of the other party is far beyond previous expectations. The members of our battles today have almost every one of them in their hands a piece of chain mail. Among them, the elite are even dressed in light armor. And ranged weapons from crossbows to careful ballistas are also available. If it weren't for the paladins of the Lord of Justice who destroyed the equipment behind the fortifications at a critical moment, this battle would not have been able to continue. ”

"You're saying it's not just crossbows, but light ballistas?" Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" touched his chin and asked, "Did you bring back the ballista?" ”

Captain Mekpis said with some shame, "It's brought back!" However, these ballistas were damaged in the previous battles, but they were quite badly damaged. If you want to use it in the next battle, I'm afraid it will be very difficult! ”

"Nope! Not to use! Is it right to supply ballistas to smugglers? I'm here to see what Broadley, you stupid bear and the master behind you, are going to do to solve this problem this time. Speaking of this, the Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird immediately got up, "Lead the way ahead, I want to take a look at the damaged ballistas and wreckage." ”

Halfway through, the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" suddenly stopped and instructed the outside world: "Immediately arrange for someone to move those ballistas to the town office." At the same time, inform Mr. Esmunger that I have something to discuss with him. ”

The will of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" was quickly executed. A pair of dismantled light ballistas and part of the wreckage were placed in the hall of the town hall. In front of Viscount "Golden Thorn", who stopped to watch, Mr. Esmunger was constantly groping for something on these broken instruments.

The envoy of the Battle League was like a lover of his own. Gently slide your finger over the surface of the ballista to feel the ups and downs on it. Minutes and seconds passed. Soon a smile appeared on Mr. Esmonk's face, "I've found what should be the location of the spell brand." ”

After saying this, Mr. Esmunger first stretched out his hand and pushed the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird". Then he waved his hand and motioned for everyone around him to stand away a little. Then use your finger to tap on the previously selected position. It was wide, and on the cantilevers of the originally empty ballista appeared a row of numbers and a seal like a lion's bite and a shield.

"That's right! This is the mark of the royal arsenal. I don't know the number, but I can get rid of the network and look it up. But I guess this is the item that the city guards declared for scrap! Seeing this scene, the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount immediately called out excitedly.

Compared with the optimism of the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird", Mr. Esmanger still seemed much more cautious: "What a strange? Why didn't the other party remove this arcane mark? Could this be a trap buried by the royal family? ”

"Don't worry! Mr. Esmunger, even if it's a trap, doesn't matter. As long as there are enough witnesses, the royal family will have to wear this hat even if they don't want to. At the very least, the mistake of not being strict in governing the country cannot be shirked. Speaking of this, the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" immediately commanded loudly, "Immediately arrange for people to go to several churches and invite their witnessing pastors." That's right! By the way, the holy warriors who came to reinforce today are also invited. With their testimonies, the next thing is up to us to see how we operate. ”

"Is your goal just to be lax? If that's the case, then the chances of success are quite good. Mr. Esmunger, who nodded, then muttered in confusion, "When you shoot a ballista, you won't even remove the magic mark. The royal family of Ethasia was a little too contemptuous of the local lords. And the "Gray Wolf Baron" and his gang of city guards should not be so stupid......"

Just when the adults in the town hall were preparing for various public opinion for the next possible war. In the makeshift camp for wounded soldiers in the square, wails were heard constantly.

"Quick! Fast! The priest hit someone and straddled him. Rancil was dying. One of the vigilantes exclaimed when he saw his teammate's condition. Although he was responsible for stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wounds of this companion, he was now at a loss in the face of the situation in front of him.

It wasn't long before a priest in a robe arrived at the wounded's side. He pressed the back of his hand against the wounded's forehead and said, "It still seems to smell like a dagger!" Those damn thieves are a luxury! Actually used so many doses of poison. ”

The "smell of the dagger" is a thick, liquid poison. It got its name because it was often used to smear bladed weapons of assassins and killers. Of course, this poison can also be added to food and drink, although it will be less powerful.

Generally speaking, the poison is brown in color and has a strange smell of alcohol. It is usually made by mixing the juice of magically treated dead people's eyes with human blood.

Normally, the price of each dose of "Dagger Flavor" is between 150 and 200 gold. Today, only 7 or 8 vigilantes have been poisoned by it. In the eyes of insiders, this is indeed quite a considerable expense.

The priest then took out a silver-gray bottle in the shape of a test tube and fed it to the vigilante who was twitching on the mat: "Don't worry! The "smell of the dagger" is not a very difficult toxin to deal with, and the symptoms will diminish soon after drinking the anti-poison potion. After about 3-4 days, you should be able to recover basically. ”

"Thank you, Reverend!" The priest next to the vigilante thanked him one after another.

There was also such a big movement, and the players would definitely not be able to sit still. As the pastors of the churches set out, they rushed to the wounded barracks.

Whether it's Barrett or Kleimatis. Bot is a good hand at dealing with the situation at hand. The curved needle in the former's hand shuttled back and forth, stitching up the wounds one by one. The latter, as a priest, can pull back a native, who is about to enter the ghost gate, with a steady injury or a slight treatment - this is the advantage of the player priest. As long as it does not contradict the teachings, the use of divine magic is not as limited as that of Indigenous priests.

After this period of observation and conversation with the wounded. Barrett had a preliminary understanding of the casualties of the last team returning today. In a sense, their battle loss rate is not much different from the previous team led by Captain Warburton and Captain Cassandra.

It's just that there are more seriously injured people in this team than in the previous two teams. Under the backdrop of the total number of people. It gives people a bloody feeling. Again, because of the larger number of people. It also made the medical supplies that the team had carried a little short before. Many of the wounded were not treated immediately after the war. This is the main reason for dripping blood along the way.

Just when players are busy earning the prestige of Port Volta. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom-" sound, and the flames and green mist flew together, and the broken corpses and corpses were bloody.

A burning sensation grew stronger on Barrett's skin. At the same time, the strong chlorine-like breath was mixed with the strong wind pressure, and it slapped towards Barrett!

"Danger!" The brain warns of Barrett's approaching threat. In the face of this sudden attack, he decisively threw away the needle and thread in his hand, and a strange knife Changhong behind his back came out of the sheath. With the sharp light of the knife, the rolling green waves around Barrett dissipated in all directions as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.

Suddenly, Barrett once again found himself standing unnaturally with the hairs on his back. The subsequent sound of breaking the air indicated that something was about to stab him in the back.

Regarding this tactic of answering the voice, Barrett raised the corners of his mouth and hugged a sneer: "Don't take out the usual means!" The same trick is really full of loopholes in your hands! ”

Suddenly, a violent silver storm appeared out of thin air. The cold silver blade directly sliced all of Barrett's items into countless pieces, and the shattering blades were scattered everywhere along with the user's limbs.

"Babble-" The sharp pain caused the attacker to let out a piercing scream. And around Barrett. The silver streamer that appeared and disappeared from time to time in the debut was emerging—that was what the blade barrier should have been in front of the world.

At level 5, Barrett vaguely felt that one of the flails on the character's body had loosened slightly. Some techniques that could not be used before can now cost 7 or 8 percent of the power.

With a murmur of the Mo knife slicing through the air, Barrett stepped forward to deliver a fatal blow to the sneak attacker just now. Unexpectedly, a sudden turbulent white air flow around the other party swept towards Barrett.

This sudden obstacle briefly stopped Barrett's offensive. However, the other party's figure was rapidly falling backwards at a faster speed than when he came.

Seeing this, Barrett kicked his legs, and his body chased directly out at almost the same speed. The wind roared in his ears, and the buildings in his sight receding rapidly.

And the fleeing attacker acted as if he had been protected by the wind, and wherever he went, any object was lightly pushed away. Those turbulent currents directly cleared all obstacles in front of him.

But even so, the distance between the two is still rapidly narrowing. Then the Mo knife in Barrett's hand swung out violently. A strong aura of danger erupted from Barrett's body. It felt like a giant rock dragon with its head locked onto its target.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! A dull thud rang out. It was the violent sound of the air being broken, followed by the splash of red-and-white liquid. The Mo knife in Barrett's hand directly smashed the head to pieces. The headless corpse slowly fell backwards.
