"Phil ......" looked at the headless corpse that was sent back to the manor by the city guards, the third prince Brian only felt weak for a while, and sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, "Brother Felix, you are so ruthless!" ”

Phil's tragic corpse made Brian experience the cruelty of the Great Prince for the first time. Thinking of Felix's gentle and generous face, Brian felt a palpitation for no apparent reason.

Killing the patriarch of the Cross family, the eldest prince Felix not only shocked the few neutral nobles in the royal city, but also forced Brian to postpone the implementation of the Dragon Crystal Vein plan indefinitely. It's almost no different from killing Brian himself.

Although the Breland Courier who first came into contact with the drow dungeon was a member of the Cross family. But those dark elves don't care who comes to sign the contract, which specific force they belong to. Whether it's Felix's men or Brian's men, as soon as they reach the dungeon, the Dark Elves will see them as representatives of Briland and fulfill their commitments.

It is precisely because the few opportunistic factions in the northern army have seen through this that they will choose to bet on both ends. Whichever heir gets the throne, they have nothing to lose.

"What happened to Patriarch Phil?" Brian was silent in his chair for a moment, then finally regained his composure and asked the two guards who were on their knees and were the only ones left in the attack.

"The patriarch ordered the convoy escorting magic equipment to return to the manor first, and not long after the convoy left, the people left behind were attacked by a group of men in black!" The shoulders of the two Cross family guards trembled, and they replied sadly that many of the wounds that had stopped bleeding had burst again.

"Those men in black who attacked you, can you see the way!" Brian gritted his teeth and asked from between his teeth, "Is it the Red Rose Assassin?" ”

"There are Assassins among those men in black, but not all of them, not like the Red Rose Order." The two guards looked at each other cautiously.

"Why?" Brian asked in a deep voice.

"Their style of doing things is more like the Emerald Claw Regiment, and the leader is definitely Leo Foster, the chief of guard of the eldest prince Felix!" The elder of the two guards recalled, "During the battle, we saw Leo's signature martial art, 'Ground Roaring Fist', several times, which was definitely impossible for others to imitate. ”

"Emerald Claw Regiment?!" Brian's eyes widened in surprise.

The Emerald Claws were founded at the beginning of the War of the End and belonged to Kannas. This organization emphasizes flexibility, self-sufficiency, honor, and the ability to accomplish tasks regardless of sacrifice. During the war, many of Cannas's famous generals joined the Emerald Talon after taking the lead.

Although these people paid a heavy price afterwards, at one point during the war, especially when the Great Plague swept through Cannas, the country relied on the Emerald Talon to survive the storm.

In the middle and late stages of the End-of-Life War, the Emerald Talon used various incredible means to assassinate two monarchs of Cell. It was also from this period that the Emerald Claw Regiment, which was originally dominated by soldiers and cultists, began to degenerate, transforming into a dark organization dominated by intrigue and espionage.

After the war, although the Emerald Talon was still based in Kannas, the organization was no longer just a nation. Instead, it has become a pan-continental dark organization, mainly selling intelligence to various countries and carrying out assassination activities, and using this as the main means of survival.

"When the city guards arrived, they found the distinctive emblems of the Emerald Claw Regiment on the corpses of several men in black...... another guard added.

When Brian heard this, he immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart. The Emerald Claw's style is different from that of other Assassin organizations on the continent, they act secretively, but when they are done, they do not go out of their way to hide their actions. Many of their members will have unique magical imprints on them, which are difficult for others to imitate.

"Your Highness, His Excellency Shelpis of the Red Rose has come to ask for a meeting!" Joey entered the study from the outside.

The old butler of the Cross family had an exhaustion on his face that could not be concealed. As soon as Phil died, most of the affairs of the manor fell to him until the family had a new patriarch.

"Your Excellency Shelpis, please, come to the study!" A hint of surprise flashed across Brian's face, and he secretly made a decision in his heart.

……

"Have you received the main quest?" Xu Mo glanced lightly at the smiling Shepis Pits.

"Well, I got it!" Sherbis chuckled and showed Xu Mo the main quest he had received, "As you expected, in addition to the negotiator specially appointed by Brian, he handed over the leadership of the escort team to us!" ”

The main quest of the Skeleton Regiment has changed a little from before, and the client has changed from Phil to Brian, the third prince. Moreover, the mission only requires the escort of Brian's appointed emissary and the signing of the contract after that, and no longer requires the team of the Cross family to be sent to a specific area.

In other words, in addition to Brian's emissary and the indispensable contract, all other members of the team, including members of the Cross family, can be sacrificed. Compared to Phil's previous mission, it was obviously much easier.

On the other hand, due to Phil's death, the third prince Brian can only rely on the red rose. The royal treasures he promised went from three to five, and he unconditionally gave Shepis a batch of magic paraphernalia to use in the Red Rose in the armed escort.

……

Two days later, an expedition of more than forty people set out from the west gate of Voaut and left King Bryland on an unknown journey.

In this team, except for a skinny emissary shrouded in a black cloak, there were eight high-ranking knights who closely protected him. In addition, there are more than ten warriors and summoners of the Cross family, and the rest are the reincarnations of the twenty joint teams.

The detachment was to cross the Dagger River to the west and follow the Fort of Ruerock-Garspel-Adeva all the way to the northwest. On the way, at Fort Alakahan, they would join the sixty elite knights of the Northern Army, and then cross the original border of Eltien and Bryland to the Dusk Glades of the Qiyun Forest.

In the depths of the Twilight Glades, there is a hidden entrance to the Underworld, through which they will enter the drow's drow. Even if you ride a horse, the whole journey takes about half a month.

For most of the month, they must first defeat the negotiating team sent by the eldest prince Felix. Of course, this is not the biggest opponent they will have to face. After crossing the border, Xu Mo and the others will be challenged by the other four top teams.

Looking at the King City of Voot, which gradually turned into a black line behind him, Xue Pis gently threw the aluminum wine jug in his hand, and said to Xu Mo on the team channel: "In the team of the eldest prince Felix, there should be no other top teams. It seems that our main quest this time only needs to face the top teams of the other two national forces. ”

"You're wrong! In my opinion, there are not necessarily only three top teams competing for this task! Xu Mo said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that two or three top teams will appear at the same time in a certain country?" Xue Pis was slightly startled and hurriedly asked.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Xu Mo sighed, "You must know that there are four national-level forces that appear in the Longjing Vein Plan!" You've only remembered Breeland, the Demon Wasteland, and Orvendale, but you've ignored the most visible and important ......."
