176 Take the city instead
The morning sun had fully risen, and after a night of fighting, the Castle Lord's Mansion had been captured, and the president of the Soul Thinkers Association here, Tiel, had been captured and sent to the third floor of the underground black market. The originally graceful president now has his hair scattered and his face covered with dust, and his robe has been cut by the sword a few times, and there are faint traces of blood in it.
Riccardo watched with great interest at his childhood companion who was sitting on the ground in front of him, thinking about the grievances he had suffered before, and the wretchedness he had suffered, he laughed: "Tielle, I didn't expect you to have such a day." β
"We were both the same age and joined the association in the same year. I am the son of a nobleman, and you are of commoner descent. It stands to reason that I should be more popular than you, but the truth is the opposite, from the beginning, you were a genius in the eyes of everyone, and I can only follow you forever. The association values you, you get more research funding than me, and you move up faster than I do. Even, almost all the aristocratic girls of school age in the city at that time liked you. β
Riccardo stood up and walked up to Thiel with his ruby cane, his face flushed a little sickly: "Now, you are in my hands, right, what do you think?" β
"Thoughts?" Tiel's voice was a little hoarse, he wanted to stand up, but his feet were a little inconvenient, he gave up after two attempts, and then raised his head and looked at the person in front of him: "What can I think, I have never thought about such a question." I'm just wondering, why would you suddenly defect from the association, don't you know that without the association, our soul thinkers are nothing. β
"Don't have an idea? Haven't thought about such a question? Riccardo's face was a little distorted, and he looked at the man in front of him angrily: "You have never regarded me as an opponent?" β
"Why do you want to treat you as an opponent, we are all members of the association. Nature should help each other and be fraternal. Thiel lowered his head and sighed, "It's just that now, I realize that I am still too naΓ―ve." The association was divided into two factions. You really think I can't see it, I thought that this was just an academic dispute, no big deal, but I didn't expect it to become what it is today, and I didn't expect that the faction that provoked disputes and wanted to break up would actually be headed by you. β
"So you didn't think of me as an opponent." Riccardo waved his hand in anticipation: "I used to think of you as my opponent. Enemy. Now it seems that it was just my wishful thinking. At this point, it is useless to say more. β
Riccardo had always hated Thière, and whenever he had free time, he imagined one day. How good the mood will be when you ride on Tier's head. I just didn't expect it. The other party has never regarded himself as an enemy. The kindness and familiarity with myself in the past is not the kind of irony I imagined.
"Since you are the person of the president, although I don't want to kill you, I am still afraid that you will cause me trouble, so I'm sorry, I can only lock you up. But when the general trend is set, I will let you ......"
Riccardo's words stopped, and a black-robed man walked in outside, looking at Thière, who was tied up. Seems to be hesitating whether to speak or not.
"If you have anything to say, tell me, he is like this, he can't escape, and he is not afraid of revealing the news." Riccardo said. His move, in fact, also has some meaning to show off, now that the City Lord's Mansion has been attacked, the association is also in his hands, and Emperor Fall City has been decided by him, and it can't be turned over by a little thing.
The black-robed man hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said, "The knights who pursued Ah Xiansong failed......"
"Failed?" Ricardo frowned, thinking that the other party had a sun god servant by his side, if he really gave up everything and ran away, it would not be too difficult to save his life, after all, the sun god servant would be able to fly the wind, and it would not be difficult to take someone away: "How many enemies have you killed?" Did Udir stay? β
The black-robed man's head hung lower, and he whispered, "Master...... None of the enemies died, but our Knights...... More than 200 died, all of them burned, and it was really miserable. Chen Xiansong and the others have now left Emperor Fall City. β
This is too different from his own guess, Riccardo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he walked over in a few steps, carried the placket of the black-robed man with both hands, and pulled him viciously in front of his face: "What the hell is going on, those are two hundred knights, not cavalry." Even if it is a cavalryman, it is impossible for one person not to kill, and he has lost two hundred people, you tell me, what happened. β
According to the combat strength, thirty Riccardo could not defeat a black-robed man, but now it was the black-robed man who was trembling, he felt the murderous aura in the sky enveloping him, but he didn't dare to resist, so he had to explain in a trembling voice: "Master, I don't know the specific situation, you may be able to ask the surviving knights, they should know what is going on." β
Hehehehehehehe! A cheerful laugh rang out: "Riccardo, two hundred knights, were killed easily, and what is even more outrageous is that the other party was not injured...... Hey, I'm wondering, will this guy Chen Xiansong hide his abilities, maybe he is still a war soul thinker? I've heard that this kind of person is very vindictive, and you kicked it to the iron plate. β
Seeing his former rivals smiling happily, Riccardo was inexplicably annoyed: "Come on, take Thiel to the prison first, just lock him up, don't need to do anything else, and in addition, bring him some food regularly." β
After Thiel was taken down, Riccardo began to rush to the scene.
In a large inn not too far from the City Lord's Mansion, Locke was eating breakfast absent-mindedly. In fact, most of the people in the hotel were like him, they had no appetite, no one was stupid, what happened last night, now they know very well, I don't know when, the ban on the street has been lifted, but they still don't dare to walk around, just send their subordinates out to find out the news.
The dancers in the hotel walked around in front of him, twisting their buttocks and posing...... Locke was young, handsome, and wealthy at first glance, and almost all the dancers in the hotel were trying to get close to him, but he had no interest in it.
Soon, his servant returned, and whispered what he had found outside.
Emperor Fall City had been replaced overnight, which surprised him a little, but something that surprised him even more. However, Chen Xiansong was besieged, and then repulsed the enemy, and then set fire to the city gate, and finally burned the pursuing knights to death more than 200 people, and left with a swagger...... Jerry, a famous prefecture-level mercenary at the top of the top, was burned to black charcoal, and only one breath was left, even if he could survive, he would play for the rest of his life.
It's not unusual to repel enemies, and it's not unusual to burn down the gates...... But not a single soldier was injured. He actually burned more than 200 people alive in a knight order...... That's a knight, not an ordinary cavalryman, how did you do it? Locke couldn't figure it out, and then his head began to ache sharply, and he rubbed his temples gently. Relieves pain.
He couldn't understand how Chen Xiansong did it, but he at least understood a little. Chen Xiansong is most likely a deep thinker of war souls. Such people. I don't think I'm too stammered.
"You go and sell the weapons and equipment we just received yesterday now, and sell them at seventy percent...... If the other party can pay the money all at once, it doesn't matter if it's sixty percent. Locke's tone was very soft, but there was an undoubted feeling: "Then go buy war horses, make sure that one is for each person, and try to do this before noon." Do you understand? β
"Master, in this case, we will lose a lot of gold coins."
Locke stared at the servant until the latter knelt down and said slowly, "I gave the order. You just have to do it, don't ask why, don't ask what's wrong. β
On the outskirts of Emperor Fall City, there is a convoy walking slowly, and it is not busy. It's just that everyone's faces are a little pale, as if they have encountered something extremely scary.
Chen Xiansong sat in the carriage, his face was a little pale, and it didn't take long for him to stick his head out of the window, retching for a while, and finally vomiting some water, and then he felt better. Retracting into the car, he lay down and sat with a weak look, Bai Min gently helped him massage his head, but it didn't seem to work.
Along the way, he vomited everything he could, even if he drank saliva.
The three girls in the car were fine, although their faces were a little not good-looking, but they didn't vomit like Chen Xiansong after all. They also heard the desperate screams of the knights and horses, but because they had been staying in the car and had not come out, they did not react much in line with the principle that if they did not see it, they did not have much reaction, at most they were frightened by the screams.
Soon it was noon, and Chen Xiansong vomited and was almost dehydrated.
The convoy was forced to stop in a small town, where there were no high-end hotels, so I had to find a clean inn to stay in for the time being. What a figure for the soul contemplative, and there were two of them at once, and the owner of the hotel directly hung up the closure card, and served the two big men wholeheartedly, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.
The hotel is now full of their own people, Chen Xiansong and Udier are sitting at the same table, the little grandson came over, his face was also a little blue, first bowed to Chen Xiansong slightly, and then asked: "Brother Chen, we are walking so slowly, aren't we afraid that the people from Emperor Fall City will chase after us again?" β
Because Chen Xiansong is a disciple of Udil, the younger grandson can call Chen Xiansong so to show his closeness.
"Probably won't come." Chen Xiansong took a breath, felt that his mouth was full of barbecue meat, and almost vomited, he wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth, swallowed the water in his mouth hard, and said: "This is my personal opinion...... He captured the Emperor Fall City, the Emperor Fall City and the royal city are not close or far, and the royal family only needs a day to transfer troops over. Besides, the killing of more than 200 people in his knighthood by me is also a big loss, and he should not scatter his forces to trouble us again, unless he has something wrong with his brain. β
"But because he's a soul thinker, there's nothing wrong with his brain." Chen Xiansong smiled hard and said, "If there is no problem, he will not do stupid things, the more intelligent and rational the person, the easier it is to guess his actions." It's a pity that I don't have many troops at my disposal, and if I were given fifteen hundred, I would now have the confidence to go back and arrest that bastard who dared to hunt us down. β
The innkeeper brought the cheap cider up, and he took a sip, still with the smell of meat mixed in...... So he could only start thinking, thinking about how to arrest Riccardo or kill him in the future. Because he found that as long as he thought about how to deal with Riccardo, his body would not feel so disgusting. (To be continued......)
