Chapter Seventy-Six: Bloody Night (4)
With this young man's question, not only the young people present, but also some elders, also set their eyes on this noble imperial county lord.
Scarlett smiled and didn't speak.
Since leaving Lulian a few months ago because of a gambling fight with an unexpected ending, Scarlett has been arranged by her father, Prince Anthony, to enter the first training camp and train with Nikita, a famous god of law who has been very fond of her since childhood, without leaving home.
Perhaps it was the blow she had experienced, and the silence during this period made Scarlett feel like a different person.
Now people can no longer see the radiant, arrogant and conceited Scarlett of the past. Instead, she is a calm and demure female mage who has no interest in social activities other than magic.
Compared to a few months ago, Scarlett is now taller and slim.
Because of staying in the magic tower for a long time to cultivate and do practical yΓ n, her skin has become fairer and fairer, and her dark green eyes are set off more beautiful and mysterious.
Temperament is Scarlett's biggest change.
If the Scarlett of the past was a flaming rose swaying in the wind and radiant, then the light emitted by Scarlett now is far less bright and dazzling than before, more like an ice blue tulip.
She has become more mature, but her restrained colors are far more attractive than before. People can't help but want to talk to her, contact her, even if it's just to stay by her side.
Many of the aristocratic elders who saw Scarlett again couldn't help but secretly admire.
Just look at the shy and obsessive eyes of those unpromising children in their own house, and you can know how attractive Scarlett is. They had no doubt that with just a word from Scarlett, these silly boys would be able to turn into her loyal guardian knights and do anything for her.
And this time. Scarlett returned to Lulian on behalf of Prince Anthony.
Although in the Saint-Solan Empire, Anthony was a notoriously idle prince who never got involved in political disputes. However, because of this, he is in a league of his own. There are many noble lords who follow their horses. Plus Scarlett's mother's special identity. So, in a way, Scarlett represents a hidden force that should not be underestimated.
Running the Loulian and building a solid logistics base and last bastion for the family away from the war is now the top priority for every family.
Prince Anthony, of course, is no exception. His fiefdoms are all close to the north, and once the demons go south, they will bear the brunt.
So this time Scarlett returns to Lulian and shoulders the heavy responsibility that Anthony has given her. And her previous shots also showed steady and ruthless means. Not only did he win a few good pieces of land, but he also had many merchant groups rooted in Lulian. The mercenary group has established a good relationship with the lords.
Especially in the blockade against the alien race, Scarlett played a very important role in the reason why the major families were able to unite.
It was under her coordination that the aliens could not buy even a grain of food.
For those arrogant aliens, Scarlett's move can be described as hitting the right seven inches. Now when you come into contact with the alien race again, you can clearly feel the softening of the attitude of some alien tribes. I heard that even the most stubborn dwarven tribes were divided among themselves.
Everyone is very confident about the future.
Food is a sword hanging over the heads of aliens, plus the threat of demons. Sooner or later, they will all succumb. Now everyone just waits for the fruits of victory to be shared at the end.
And these things that the Bano family does in private, the major families also know it. I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Scarlett's acquiescence.
Blocking food channels is a conspiracy, and in order to induce a change in attitude among the aliens, it is also necessary to use certain unsightly means in private.
Even the most upright families don't think there's anything wrong with that. As long as you don't do this kind of dirty work yourself. Someone does it for you, so why not?
But. After all, everyone didn't expect the Bano family to openly act in the city of Muni, and in just a few prayer hours, things had developed to the point where they are now.
The issue of the firefox heraldic youth happens to be a concern of many people.
It's Lulian after all, no matter what everyone does. The attitude of the Grand Duke Adolf was very important. He may not own every inch of Loulian's land, and he can't control the will of every person and every force, but he is the largest family here, the nominal ruler.
Once the conflict between him and the Bano family intensifies, it is likely to directly affect the interests of the major families in Lulian.
When the time comes, those aliens who were already ready to succumb may retreat and wait for the infighting of the human race, and obtain more favorable conditions for them.
In the eyes of everyone, Scarlett said lightly: "To be honest, this mercenary gentleman is a little ignorant. He was nosy at the South Gate, ostensibly helping the Loulian family, but on the other hand, why didn't he put Archduke Adolphus in the oven?"
All the nobles nodded, exchanging a look of approval.
If the man who attacked the dwarven convoy had run away, the conflict would not have been on the table. It only takes a while to drag on in the name of the investigation, and the matter will be closed.
Of course, private communication and reparations from the Barnes and Noble were necessary.
However, because of the mercenary, the Bano family paid the price of five deaths and two captures. Of course, Adolf could no longer pretend that he didn't know who did it, and the Bano family couldn't swallow this breath.
Naturally, the conflict intensified.
"Therefore, I don't think that the Grand Guild of Adolf is at war with the Barnes and Noble because of such a small person. Scarlett said, "We all know the strength of the Bano family. Once the two families go to war, the price that Grand Duke Adolf will have to pay is probably something he is unwilling to imagine. β
"But this matter ......," Ansel's uncle Charles said with a slight frown.
"It's nothing more than face and profit," said Scarlett, "why doesn't Archduke Adolf want to get an extra slice of this cake? Could it be that Archduke Adolf will turn against all of us for the sake of a little mercenary?"
The aristocrats all burst into laughter.
As he spoke, suddenly. A squire knight quickly walked up to Charles and whispered a few words in his ear?
Listening to this, the smile on Charles's face froze, and finally he completely lost his usual calmness, and exclaimed: "What? What you said is true!"
Everyone couldn't help but look sideways. Even Ansel. It's rare to see my uncle so moved.
"What's wrong?" asked the old nobleman beside Charles.
"Black Snake ......" Charles looked around in disbelief, "it's dead!"
The nobles were stunned. Although for them at the peak of the noble pyramid of the Solan Empire, a glorious five-star knight is not a figure. But at this moment, the death of the Black Devil Snake shocked everyone. Even Scarlett's gaze was a little frozen.
"Is it Adolf's men who have arrived?" asked the old nobleman eagerly.
Charles shook his head and said slowly, "It was that mercenary named Leo....... he killed the Black Snake!"
This news made everyone's hearts chuckle.
"Oops!"
.....................
.....................
Seeing the back of the knight of the Bano family disappear, Thorge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He waved his hand. Ten long knights were ordered to protect Roy's regiment. At the same time, the sergeants and patrol soldiers who arrived were ordered to disperse the crowd and maintain order.
"Are you alright?" asked Thorge.
"It's okay," Roy shook his head, seeing Thorge's concerned gaze, and couldn't help but whisper, "Where's your power storm?"
Upon hearing this question, Thorge almost jumped in surprise.
After watching this mercenary's battle before, he had been suspicious. But because the difference in appearance is too big. Therefore, he did not dare to recognize each other rashly. And the other party mentioned the storm of power at this moment. He was immediately convinced.
This Mr. Leo is his own captain, Roy!
Only he knows that kind of magical footwork, and only he knows the storm of power.
Thorge once wore that suit of Celestial Armor and followed Roy to the fjord, and he couldn't know much about it. It was Roychuang's demonic armor, which was unique in the entire demonic realm.
Except for a handful of them and bandits. No one knows the name of Powerstorm. And at this moment, the other party doesn't mention anything else, only this, if he doesn't understand it anymore, it would be a fool.
"Sir," Thorge's voice trembled. "You're not dead......"
Although it was determined that the person in front of him was Roy, Thorge still couldn't believe it. That's divine punishment, how can Roy survive divine punishment?
"Someone saved me," Roy whispered, "I came back and found out that I had been declared a heretic by the Holy See, so I ......."
"I understand!" Thorge nodded quickly, signaling that Roy didn't need to explain, and said, "The Celestial Change Battle Armor you lent us, after the battle is over, we will all hand it over to General Karenich and them." This was originally yours, and since you are gone, we will naturally hand it over to the bandits. β
"That's right......" Roy nodded, thinking for a moment, "By the way, I still have a set of power storms here." It's not convenient now, you take the time to come to me, I'll give it to you. β
The battle between Sog and Duru just now, Roy could see it clearly.
If there was a Heavenly Change Battle Armor, even if Thorge was not Duru's opponent, he would not let the other party win so easily. If the other party is caught off guard, maybe you will suffer a big loss.
Moreover, now that Soge is a fair five-star knight, he is only a thin line away from breaking through the glory knight. The Heavenly Transformation Battle Armor can not only improve his combat effectiveness, but also benefit his comprehension of strength when he cultivates, which can speed up his ascension.
On the other hand, it was also because Roy himself had been promoted to the Glory Five-Star, so he didn't need this kind of first-level Heavenly Transformation Battle Armor very much. Therefore, giving the storm of power to Thorge can be regarded as making the best use of things.
"How can this be done......" Thorge waved his hand repeatedly. He knew better than anyone the value of such a set of Heavenly Change Battle Armor.
You must know that even under Adolf, only thirty Munich knights possess a full set of first-order Heavenly Transformation Battle Armor. And the power storm is more powerful than the Munich knight's heavenly change battle armor. If it is put in the auction house, Soge will not worry about running out of money to spend in his life.
"I don't need it. Roy smiled, "Mr. Thorge, you don't have to be polite to me. Besides, I may have some things to do that I need your help with. β
Thorge stared blankly at Roy.
At this time, he suddenly realized that the current Roy was already a fair five-star knight.
When he was just one star, he was able to kill the Glory Star Iron One, as well as Naqi, Buzz and others. Now that he is a fair five-star, I am afraid that he is already an invincible opponent under the Great Light Level. Even if he didn't use the Heavenly Transformation Battle Armor, or even magic, he would have killed the Glory Five-Star Black Demon Serpent casually.
Thinking of the Black Devil Serpent, Thorge couldn't help but mourn for him to arrive.
What kind of person is this guy not easy to mess with? A fair knight in the world, even if he provokes it all over again, it is no problem.
But he shouldn't have provoked Roy.
You know, this just knight was like killing a dog two months ago. Four of the Seven-Colored Haiwujie of the Philip Empire died at his hands!
In front of Roy, who has an endless variety of combat skills, the difference in the level of fighting spirit cannot play any role at all. All those who think they can crush him with their vindictive spirit will end up being a tragedy.
And by this time, the dwarves had already run over.
They gathered around Roy, asking about him with concern. For the dwarves, he is not only their benefactor, but also the most respected friend of the dwarves. Everyone understands better that if it weren't for the people who helped themselves, this Mr. Leo would not have suffered such a thing.
And the battle just now happened too quickly. Leo and the guy nicknamed the Black Devil Snake are both high and fast, and with their little short legs, they can't help if they want to. Fortunately, in the end, it was Leo who won, otherwise, the six dwarves would not be able to forgive themselves in this life.
"I'm fine," Roy shook his head at Tie Xiaoshan and the others who were concerned, "Let's go, aren't you going to invite me to your house as a guest?"
"Yes, yes!" a group of dwarves cheered, pulling Roy and preparing to leave.
Roy turned his head to say hello to Thorge, agreed on a time and place to meet, and prepared to leave with the dwarves. However, at this moment, several figures swished like meteors, swishing from the sky and landing around.
There were five people who came.
Three of them were Munich knights wearing Heavenly Change Battle Armor.
The other two are a one-star sage of the sky and a two-star knight of the Great Light.
"Sage Byron, Mr. Bradleyβ" Thorge recognized the Sage and the Knight of Light, and saluted respectfully.
These two people are both strong men recently recruited by the Duchy of Lulian. Won Adolf's trust. Because I happened to be patrolling in this area, I rushed over as soon as I got the news.
"What's going on?" asked Bradley, with a pair of thick eyebrows.
Thorge told them what had happened.
"What?" After listening to Thorge's explanation, Bradley and Byron couldn't help but glance at each other, and then turned their shocked gazes to Roy at the same time.
"He killed the Dark Snake?" Bradley asked.
Thorge nodded and smiled, "Yes, sir. Mr. Leo may be young, but he is outstanding. The Bano family is in a big fight in front of Mr. Leo this time. β
Bradley's eyes flashed, and he asked, "The knight of the Barnes and Nower family has already retired?"
"Ran away, and the adults scared them away as soon as they came. "Now that the incident has subsided, thank you for your help." I will report the specific story to the Grand Duke......"
As he spoke, Thorge turned his head to look at Roy, knowing that he didn't want to come into contact with too many people, and immediately said, "Mr. Leo, be more careful yourself." β
Roy nodded, motioned to Bradley and the others, and turned to leave with the dwarves.
Looking at the back of this young mercenary, the eyes of Bradley and Byron were extremely complicated. After a long time, Bradley gritted his teeth and said, "This is trouble." β
