In the evening, the convoy set up camp in a roadside clearing. Ordath asked all the leaders and backbones of the mercenary group to come over for a meeting.

In this regard, Knight Livas was puzzled, "Why do you want to have a meeting?"

"In the afternoon, I sent my apprentice to inspect the various mercenary groups. I found that their morale was very problematic. Did you know? Several scattered mercenaries have been left behind today. These guys must have taken the first commission and sneaked away. ”

"Mercenaries are inherently scumbags, nothing surprising. It's just that the Duke has killed fewer people recently, which has fattened some people's courage. When I get back, I'm going to arrest these guys all over the territory. Then let everyone see what the consequences of betraying Lord Duke will be. "Livas doesn't seem to care.

"There's an old saying: water the flower before it has withered," Ordas said. I think I should gather these people to deter them before the situation expands. Otherwise, can you imagine how many people are left in our team when they arrive in Green Park Town, and it is not good for us to lead a team of mercenaries, which is not good for our reputation. I'm going back to the Red Lotus Tower, but you have to explain it to the Duke. ”

"Well, since there's going to be a meeting, it's time for everyone to hear. There was a clearing by the river, and before it was dark, I came to find someone who had made a mistake and cut off his head, and then he would open his eyes with the golden axe that would have been paid to them afterwards. This soft and hard hand is enough for them to stop for a while. ”

"Okay, listen to you. ”

Half an hour later, all the more than two hundred mercenaries gathered in a clearing by the river for a meeting. These people packed a small area. Knight Livas stood with Mage Ordath on a higher slope so that everyone could see them clearly.

Xiao Chen and the dark elves were usually at the edge of the line, and actually squeezed not far in front of Rivas and Ordas. Xiao Chen, Roger, and Evelyn spread out in different directions, faintly forming a tendency to encircle.

However, this did not arouse Livas's alarm, and his attention was focused on the two mercenaries who were tied up in front of him.

He put his hands on his waist, walked up and down the dirt slope, and said loudly: "...... As mentioned earlier, all those who escaped were caught and hanged if they were seen by the duke's people. Neither the Duke nor I will let them go. And today these two guys have been caught, so let's die here in peace. I'll cut off their heads, that's the price of escape!"

The two mercenaries were gagged and shivered as Livas's squires pressed to the ground.

Most of the mercenaries around him who listened to his lecture did not look good. Mercenaries are not loyal to anyone, and often give up because they can't do the mercenary task, and employers rarely shout and kill like this. At this time, seeing his peers being added by swords, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

As soon as Livas finished speaking, seeing the mercenaries silent, he felt that his warning had played a role, and drew his long sword, ready to make an example of the monkeys.

At this time, a voice came from below: "I object!"

Rivas looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw that it was an ordinary young man, who did not look nervous, but looked at him with his hands on his chest and a smile. However, as soon as Livas's eyes touched him, he found that the other person's eyes had a very strange power, and he felt that there was a hidden whirlpool in those eyes, and his spirit and consciousness seemed to be attracted to them, and he fell into a situation from which he could not extricate himself, as if it was an abyss, which made him sink, indulge, and unable to extricate himself.

After all, Livas was an experienced high-level warrior, and the moment he was drawn by his gaze, he understood that he had suffered a mental attack, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, cut off the sight of contact, and let out another low cry, trying to sober himself up. However, those strange purple eyes seemed to be able to break through this barrier, and appeared in his mind, and those eyes turned into all kinds of strange demons in his head, they writhed, and the strange smile circled around him, as if they were about to pounce at any moment.

This is a very powerful spiritual mage, and Livas bit the tip of his tongue hard, trying to sober himself up for a moment, but the illusion in his mind does not dissipate in any way, on the contrary, fear, panic, worry, sadness, all kinds of strange negative feelings come out of his heart.

In the outside world, everyone saw that Livas had just said a word, and he stayed there with his eyes closed. Many of the mercenaries present were knowledgeable people, and seeing this scene, they somewhat understood that the young man who claimed to be a consultant of the Tree Seed Mercenary Group was not so simple. Will the strength of a person who can easily influence a high-level warrior be poor?

Livas slapped himself twice, bursting with fighting energy, and finally banishing the ghostly things out of his mind, but before he could open his eyes, he felt a burning heat coming from behind him. Ordas actually released a large fireball behind him in the short time he fell into chaos, and the fireball exploded directly on him, although Livas had a fighting spirit to protect himself and offset a lot of damage, but the huge impact still blew him out of the high platform.

At the same time, Roger and Evelyn moved, each drawing their swords and flying from under the platform to pounce on Livas.

The latter was shocked when he saw the movements of the two of them flying towards him, these two were actually high-level warriors who were not below him. He frantically used his sword to block the attacks of the two. But Xiao Chen's heart of fear came first at this time, hitting his head, and those illusions that had just receded came back with even more violent momentum.

There was a momentary pause that was hard to resist, and two sword lights dodged his sword and slashed across his neck. Livas's head rose to the sky, spilling blood from the sky, and Roger took his head in his hand with a fighting spirit. His headless corpse was still swaying its hands and feet, and it fell into the crowd below, causing a burst of exclamations.

The "strongest" high-ranking warrior in the team was killed by these people like a chicken and a dog in a matter of seconds. The mercenaries were horrified in their hearts, no one dared to act rashly, they were all waiting for these strong men to say something. And several of Livas's attendants on the stage stood there at a loss, not thinking what they should do.

At this time, Xiao Chen strolled out of the crowd. All the mercenaries stared nervously at the young man. I saw him slowly walk up the dirt slope, nodded to the people present, and said, "Everyone, let me know again, I am the high-level mage of the Tower of China-Xiao Chen." ”
