Chapter 104: Murder for Money
Now that you have the answer you want, there is naturally no reason to stay alive.
No matter how much the captives begged for mercy, the escort knight's sword still stabbed coldly into their bodies. Only a few muffled pops accompanied by short screams were heard, and the two just knights instantly fell to the ground. And the black-armored knight was saved by Roy at the last moment.
"Wait, this person is still useful. ”
Roy said, taking two steps forward, pulling out a dagger with his backhand, picking open the black-armored knight's clothes, revealing his muscular body.
"What are you going to do?" the sweaty black-armored knight watched in horror as the young man gestured his dagger across his body, measuring something in knuckles from time to time. Those steady and powerful hands were like two poisonous snakes, and where they passed, the cold hairs stood upside down, and patches of goosebumps appeared.
Roy ignored him, looked closely, pinpointed the position, stabbed it in, and then cut a hole horizontally in a precise route.
"You!" the dagger entered his body, and the black-armored knight's face changed suddenly.
As a knight, injuries were commonplace. As long as there is vindictive support, let alone a dagger, even if he is cut ten times and eight times, he will not frown. But Roy's knife made him feel that his source power was draining as quickly as a flood that had opened the floodgates, and no matter how he urged the exercises, he didn't have the slightest reaction!
For a moment, I saw that the black-armored knight who was kneeling on the ground with his arms cut back was bruised on his forehead, and his whole body was trembling in the horror and severe pain of losing his fighting spirit. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Roy deadly, with pain, hatred, and fear in his eyes!
The young man in front of him, who always showed a dull and confused expression on his face when he was not smiling, was simply a demon! Not only did he destroy himself in this way, but he also did it so calmly and skillfully. That's what it looks like. It's like a herder shearing a sheep!
"Alright, it's time to let him go. ”
With Roy's gesture, the two knights let go of their hands. The black-armored knight fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, and was then tied up with a rope and dragged away.
Percy glanced at Roy, looked around, and ordered, "Clean up." Let's go. ”
The knights responded in unison and took action. They are all veterans who have rolled in the sea of corpses and blood. Many of them are the most elite falcons. Roy was amazed by the efficiency with which he handled the aftermath.
In less than ten minutes, all the corpses had been stripped of their valuable belongings and buried in a large pit along with some blood stains on the ground.
When the turf of the pothole, the scattered arrows, and the bark of the swords were finally carefully restored to their original state, the jungle was restored to its former calm. If it weren't for his own experience, even Roy would have had a hard time seeing the traces of the previous fights. Seven or eight dark mercenaries and seventeen knights of the Fifth Legion vanished from this world like evaporating water.
"Young Master. It's been stripped from the guys," Aguli handed Roy the looted belongings. Laughing, "Those mercenaries don't have much money. The Fifth Legion is all fat sheep, and the harvest is not small. ”
Looting from the corpses of the enemy was originally one of the main means by which the knights supported themselves. Even if many noble knights kill their opponents in the dueling arena, they will have the servants take everything they can from the opponent's body, and the higher the rank of the opponent, the more valuable the equipment on their bodies.
Roy naturally understands this rule. Seeing that there was nothing special in the thing, he waved his hand and said, "Don't give it to me, let's divide it." ”
As soon as they heard Roy's words, the knights were immediately overjoyed and jubilant.
The position of the Rongyang Battalion in the legion was originally extremely embarrassing, and in recent decades, the financial power of the royal family has fallen, and the major border army corps has gradually become a bargaining chip in the political struggle and the private army of the corps commander, and the status and treatment of the Rongyang Battalion have plummeted. Up to now, not to mention the word Rongyang, it's already good to be able to eat well. ...,
Moreover, as these former powerhouses lost their fighting spirit, even some low-level knights could bully them casually. From the day they were thrown into the Rongyang camp as waste, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the property they had accumulated over the years, wanting to take it by force!
After a few years of eating and waiting for death, not to mention the mental pain, materially, these knights are a bunch of poor people. Most of the people standing here have already become their own eaters in order to make a living. What's more, even the fiefdoms and family inheritance are gone.
Encounters like those of Karenic were not uncommon among these knights.
Therefore, to speak of poverty, the knights of the Rongyang camp can be called abject poor. Many people come here without even a change of clothes, let alone weapons. Their current equipment was all sent by the Green Tower Manor after recovering their fighting spirit.
This is their first harvest in years. Like a group of hungry male lions who had lost their fangs and claws, and after many years had regained the ability to hunt, one can imagine how excited they were when they heard Roy announce that the goods would be divided among everyone.
The first time I had a family, I thought of my wife and children who were still starving and cold, and those who were not married began to think about buying a good horse. These thoughts are joyful, and they really feel that after regaining their strength, a new picture of life is slowly unfolding before their eyes.
Everyone was grateful and in awe of Roy.
In this world, there is no one who does not like money. It is precisely the beauty of money that tests people's hearts the most. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, even if he comes from a wealthy family, can hardly be as generous as Roy. This is the pattern, and it is something that many narrow-minded and selfish people cannot do in a lifetime.
Hearing the cheers of the knights beside him, Roy smiled, looking careless on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already hurting and about to drip blood.
Whoever says he doesn't like money is a bastard.
According to his true thoughts, he couldn't wait to pounce on the pocket in Aguli's hand, and then blushed and roared. "It's all mine, no one is allowed to rob it!"
No one loves money more than Roy. From childhood to adulthood, the word poor was almost engraved on the door of his head. On the one hand, it is difficult to make money, and on the other hand, William Sr. is extravagant. Whether it's hunting in the snow and ice, digging herbs or working in all walks of life, the hard-earned money will be spent by William as soon as it changes hands.
From the first time he dreamed of Jin Lulang when he was a child, Roy dreamed of one day becoming a rich man whose money would never be spent, and he slept on the pile of money every day. In the next life, reincarnation will simply become a dragon. In addition to the gold coins in the lair, it is a treasure, who dares to move a mouthful of dragon breath to simmer his hair!
But fortunately, he now has hundreds of thousands of gold Lulang in his hands after he cheated Scarlett, so he can be regarded as having opened his eyes and seen the world. What's more, he still has a money-making opportunity in his hands, such as the Life Magic Pattern and the alchemy recipe in Austin's diary, and he will not lose his self-control in the face of these loot.
If it were the little hillbilly who would rush up like a vicious dog when he saw a copper Sani before, Aguli would take these things and shake them in front of him?!
Victorious retreat. The crowd laughed and returned to the abandoned watchtower on a hill five hundred meters away from the battlesite.
The watchtower was built more than 100 years ago during the Romance Dynasty to defend against rebellions in the small principalities in the south. Solan has been abandoned since its founding.
When Roy came the other day. There is only one half-collapsed tower here. The ground was littered with rocks and vines lining the walls, and when he came back today, he found that it had been cleaned up. Not only were the towers reinforced, but the knights also built a wall on the outside, nailed a row of stakes, and dug ditches for drainage and traps on the perimeter according to the standards of camping. ...,
As soon as Roy and the many knights returned, a whistle sounded from inside the watchtower walls. A few people rushed out to open the door.
Roy walked through the gate surrounded by the crowd and saw twenty or thirty men gathered under the tower. Look at yourself. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation.
These people are all knights of the Rongyang Camp who have come from all over the country in the last few days. Because Roy had been in the academy all along, he couldn't see each other. However, with the example of the previous thirty-two knights, they no longer have any doubts about the recovery of their fighting spirit, and these days they only hope that the "young master" who has made everyone praise the big guy come over as soon as possible. Seeing Roy at this moment, I was very excited.
Roy was introduced by old Percy and got to know everyone one by one.
The knights who arrived during this time were twenty-seven men, from six of the twelve frontier legions. All were people Karenich knew and trusted. The strongest of them was a Glory Four-Star Knight, and among the remaining twenty-six people, seventeen also had the strength of a just knight.
If we add the previous thirty-two people, among the knights of the Rongyang Camp who rushed over, the knights of the third order and above have already reached forty-two! accounting for more than half of the total fifty-nine people. Among them were also seven Fourth-Order Glory Knights and one Fifth-Order Great Light Knight.
And the remaining seventeen are all brave knights, and there is not a single armed knight!
At first, Roy didn't understand why there were more mid- and high-level knights in the Rongyang Camp than there were low-level knights with a larger base. However, in the later chat, I heard Percy say that the reason for this situation was not that Karenic only wrote letters to the strong, but because the Rongyang camp was originally like this.
You must know that in the cruel battlefield, knights above the third order of justice are usually the chief knights of the Knights. Not only is it strong, but it also has a high status, and it is at the core of the Knights. Even if you are injured and lose your fighting spirit, you have a better chance of surviving under the protection of your subordinates and subordinates.
And those low-ranking knights with low strength were not so lucky. Once injured in battle and lose its fighting spirit, it is a sheep in a group of vicious demon wolves, and it will be torn to pieces in an instant. Many of those who survived relied on their own victory to finally escape death.
Since learning about the original strength structure of the knights in the Rongyang camp, Roy would secretly wake up with a smile several times a day when he slept.
It is already a miracle that a civilian boy with a status has obtained the allegiance of a knight in this hierarchical world, and who would dare to believe that most of the allegiants are knights above the level of justice!
If the nobles knew about this news, not to mention those little lords who only had three or five fair knights at most, even if it was a duke like Adolf, I am afraid that his eyes would be as green as a wolf. Although he ruled Lulian, he had the Bavarian Knights under his command. The three major forces of the Mooney City Guard and the Coastal Mercenary Regiment, but no one will think that their strength is too strong, especially in this troubled era, the stronger the armed forces in their hands, the more they have the right to speak!
After meeting with everyone and arranging the treatment, Roy, Percy and several other high-ranking knights walked into the watchtower.
The interior of the tower has also been remodeled. The first to third floors are divided into eighteen rooms except for the staircase passage for everyone to live in. The fourth floor, which had collapsed, was renovated and converted into Roy's treatment room, meeting room and bedroom.
Of course, using this as a temporary foothold is only a stopgap measure.
It's the time of war, so many mid-to-high-ranking knights. Wherever it appears, it's the center of attention. Roy didn't want to be watched all day.
In addition, Grandet has also bought Bandez. These days. People have already begun to move over one after another. There is no need for more people to know about the existence of these knights during this time. By the time the city's Bollabel residents and the farmers and slave servants of the Green Tower Manor had set out on their way to Bandez. Then gather all the knights in the Green Tower Manor. ...,
"Young Master......" walked up to the fourth floor, and Percy asked, "Although those guys didn't succeed today, we have to be vigilant ourselves." I'm afraid those guys won't give up so easily, and sooner or later they'll beat you up. Find some brothers to follow you. Anyway, we don't have much to do every day here. ”
"No, I don't. Roy shook his head and stopped in front of a wall.
In front of him was a huge cowhide military map. It is densely marked with the location of the warring forces on both sides of the current Lulian battle. This is all the news he gets from the church every day with a lot of money. In addition, Karenich, Ivan and others learned information from different sources is a mixture. The details of the course were not much lower than the map in the barracks of the Grand Duke of Adolf.
Hear Roy's answer. Percy and the Knights of Glory glanced at each other, both smiling wryly.
This young master, who only met for the second time today, is fine. Whether it is strength, combat experience, judgment or adaptability, it is definitely the best of the best. But after all, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his strongest combat power was only the seventh-level magic of the Dragon Moon Magician.
If you encounter an attack lineup like today's again, one carelessness may be a catastrophe. What's more, the other side has suffered a lot of losses this time, and if they attack again, it will only be possible to increase their strength. If there is no one to protect you, what if you .........
Roy knew what everyone was thinking. And along the way, he had been thinking about it in his mind for a long time, and then he turned around, smiled, and said, "I'm not joking with my own life." Instead, I think it's better to take the initiative than to be so passively protected. ”
Hearing Roy's words, a group of knights suddenly became excited.
Although the relationship between them and Roy was that of a lord and a minister, it was far from having so many rules and taboos among the nobles, and they all stepped forward to surround him, gossiping and rubbing their fists, as if they wanted to go to the door now.
"I'm in favor of it, so I should go to the door. ”
"If the Fifth Legion dares to provoke us, how can there be anything polite to do? Kill one and count one!"
"Tell me, young master, what do you have in mind?"
This is also a common problem of the knights of the Rongyang Camp, after the fighting spirit is restored, they are a group of monkeys who have released their cages, and they have to pluck their claws when they see anything. It's itchy all over without fighting. Over the past few days in this watchtower, they have fought each other I don't know how many times. One by one, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they were exhausted, but they were satisfied.
Roy's idea is right on the appetite of the big guy.
"We're .......," Roy said with a smile, "according to the news, the Fifth Legion will leave Lulian in a few days and go to the territory of the Marquis of Ashley." Since they are leaving, they will definitely take all the belongings looted in Lulian with them......"
"Robbed him?!" the knights' eyes lit up and they said in unison.
"Yes," Roy said.
In order to save the elves, he was extorted a lot of money by Snerry of the Fifth Legion. Even the fur and bones of the demonic beasts that had been hunted so hard from the desperate situation were swept away. Those are precious materials for refining medicine and painting demons and for making weapons and equipment, and they may not be able to be bought with money.
Roy didn't think about letting the other party swallow it easily. With the help of the hundreds of soldiers stationed in Muni City by Ivan Sanjie and the Red Leaf Knights, he has been monitoring every move of the Fifth Legion, holding back his strength and preparing to give the other party such a look, and he couldn't know their situation better.
Recent times. The new commander of the Fifth Army took office, and all the focus was on the interior. After the Battle of Edin, the estrangement between the Lulian Army and the Fifth Army grew, so that the Fifth Army now confined its soldiers to their respective barracks and rarely went out except for routine training and official duties. ...,
In the past, the men of this legion walked all over the city, and a large group of cavalry galloped along the official road. The situation in which the grain and salary officials personally supervised the requisition of grain and even directly looted money in the name of suppressing bandits has long since disappeared. The looted belongings have never been shipped from them, and until now, they are still in the barracks and warehouses of the Fifth Legion.
This time, the Fifth Legion switched to war, and naturally it was impossible to leave the looted property in Lulian, nor could it be possible to take the risk of war to take it to the Marquis of Ashley's domain. The greatest possible. It was sent directly back to the imperial capital.
Here's your chance!
Doing this vote is at least millions of Jin Lulang's income. For only then did I buy the territory. Received so many knights again. For Roy, who will have more people working in the future, this money is too important.
So, after knowing that the person who attacked him was a knight of the Fifth Legion, Roy left the life of the black-armored knight. A Knight of Glory must have a very high status in the Fifth Legion, and it will be of great use to know the internal situation of the Fifth Legion well, and to spare his life.
Hear that Roy is preparing to rob the Fifth Legion of money. The knights were excited again, and secretly embarrassed by the young master's audacity. But. And that's not all. Just when everyone was talking, they saw Roy thinking for a while. Smacking his lips and saying, "Making money is only our first step, and the second step is to kill people." ”
"Killed?" This time, even Percy was startled, "Whose life?"
If you want to plunder the convoys of the Fifth Legion, there are enough of them. In the process of looting, of course, it is inevitable to kill some escort soldiers. Listening to the meaning of this young master, it is obvious that killing a few little minions is not too enjoyable. Could it be that he still wants to kill the Legionnaire?
Compared with the group of guys next to him who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, Percy has more than twenty or thirty years of experience, knowing that everyone has endured it for many years, and it is just the time when the heart is strong, as long as he instigates, he can do anything.
But no matter how you say it, the Fifth Legion is also a legion with nearly 20,000 people. If you want to fight the idea of the army commander, such a few people rush in, and everyone can collapse with a fart. No, he had to hear who Roy was trying to kill, and if something wasn't right, he had to stop him anyway.
"Didn't that guy just say that among the people who wanted to kill me, there was a monk named Moon......" Roy snorted, telling him about his grievances with Moon a year and a half ago.
Regarding Roy's identity, everyone present had also heard Karenich and others talk about it, but after listening to Roy's account at this moment, they knew that he had been bullied like this back then.
"So, you're trying to kill Brother Moon by the name of Monk?" Percy asked after listening to Roy's account.
"Hmm!" Roy nodded.
himself and Wenger were originally two punches from the Golden Dragon Family at the same time. The purpose of Moon's visit this time was to bring Wenger back for the Golden Dragon family. And under the current form, once it is allowed to succeed, the blow to the prestige of the royal family is not much smaller than the killing of himself, the guardian knight!
Those who should be protected cannot be protected, the subjects who should be punished cannot be punished, and the royal authority will collapse overnight. Those nobles who had already watched the situation with their eyes wide would be shocked by the strength of the Golden Dragon Family and disappointed in the royal family. When the Imperial Capital competes a year and a half later, there will be no one to stop the Golden Dragon Family from ruling this country!
Therefore, whether it is public or private, it is impossible for Roy to let Moon leave Lulian alive!
Hearing Roy's answer, everyone looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Since they had sworn allegiance to Roy and were all people who had died once, they were not afraid of killing a papal monk, but it was obvious that standing behind Brother Nawen was a behemoth like the Golden Dragon Family. For this fledgling team, it has to be very cautious.
But...... I saw Roy pondering for a long time, and said to himself, "Barno is Prime Minister Donald's person, killing one is killing, killing two is also killing, since he sent someone to help Moon kill me, I just create an opportunity and kill it together!"
Percy and the other knights were startled. They all stammered and dumbfounded.
I've seen such an outrageous, but I've never seen anything so outrageous. I've seen impulsive, but I've never seen such impulsive.
The Golden Dragon Family, Prime Minister Donald, plus a Holy See....... this young master, do you really know who his opponents are?!
He should be killing pigs?!...... Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please vote for the best work, and in addition, also for our general alliance gods. At two o'clock in the morning, the ice and snow rolled seven thousand two hundred degrees, please...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
