"Leo, that's a terrible name. A group of dwarves lowered their voices and muttered. Looks like he doesn't want to embarrass Roy.

But their naturally loud voices made everyone present hear them clearly.

"But thank you," Tetsuyama said, "you saved our lives." We can't be mistaken. Otherwise, we'll all be the same as Tie Xiaomao."

Speaking of the name Iron Xiaomao, the dwarves all turned their heads and looked at the dwarf among the corpses. His mouth was deflated, his eyes were rolling and rolling in his eyes, and at the same time he opened his voice and cried.

It may seem funny, but Roy, who knows the dwarven personality well, knows that this is already the saddest moment for these nervous guys.

Dwarves are not afraid of death. For them, death is the bosom of the dwarven gods. The souls of the deceased will one day be transformed into machine spirits and appear in their forged weapons or armor. Accompany them in this way, and bless the dwarves to prosper and be strong.

If it is a dwarf of the Chinese generation, and his companion next to him dies in battle, I am afraid that he will not even cry. They would cut off the heads of the dead and take them with them so that he could watch how the living companions fought and avenged him. After the victory, they would drink from the helmets of their dead companions, so that they would rejoice with him.

But Roy lowered his head and hid the sadness in his eyes.

The name Tie Xiaomao is equally familiar to him. He still remembered that ten years ago, this freckled dwarf climbed a tree with him to dig out birds' eggs, but was chased and pecked by a first-order magical beast red-eyed cui-tailed finch.

Unexpectedly, this reunion was separated by yin and yang.

Roy walked over to the dead dwarf, crouched down, and flipped him over as he fell to the ground. Carefully staring at this face that still has a little youthful childishness.

When the face in front of me overlapped with the appearance of his childhood companion. He clenched his fists silently. I regret that I just wanted to save people and seek stability, but I didn't catch up and kill all those bandits!

Roy took out his axe and slashed off Tie Xiaomao's head.

The young mercenary's actions made Trek and the others widen their eyes in shock. Several female mercenaries even exclaimed.

But. Just as they were gripped the hilts of their swords, ready to stop a clash, Alder reached out and stopped them. Then, the mercenaries saw that the six dwarves nodded to Roy with surprised and respectful glances. Tie Xiaoshan, who was in the lead, stepped forward, took Tie Xiaomao's head from Roy's hand, and hung it on his waist.

"It's a dwarven tradition. Alder said to the mercenaries, looking at Roy.

This tradition of the dwarves is only known to a few experienced mercenaries. Unexpectedly. Ao here looks like he is no more than twenty years old, but he knows it so well.

He was the hero who saved these dwarves. And for him to cut off the head of the dead dwarf, it is a sign of respect and recognition for the deceased.

For stubborn and big-minded dwarves, although the grace of saving lives is heavy, they can repay it with their own lives, and they don't take it too seriously. Leo's gesture is a respect for the traditions of the dead and dwarves, far more than saving lives.

Just when Alder sighed to himself. There was a rush of horses' hooves, and nearly a hundred patrol cavalry of the Muni City Guard swept into the jungle like the wind.

They were informed by someone sent by Alder on his way to escape. It is stationed at the Warm Lake Castle. It is about 15 kilometers away from this place. The leading knight is none other than Todd.

This second-class tiger lieutenant, who became the leader of the Warm Water Lake Castle because of the death of all the high-ranking officers stationed in Fjord Town, has been exceptionally promoted to the third-class dragon school because of his outstanding performance in the first battle of Fjord. For a fair knight who manages logistics, it can be called a green cloud.

Now he has officially become the commander of the Warm Lake Castle. He had more than 60 knights and nearly 300 cavalry.

After receiving the distress message, Todd immediately led people to rush over as quickly as possible. But what he didn't expect was that the group of bandits was beaten away by a caravan that was far inferior to them in strength and strength.

When riding a horse into the woods, Todd's gaze fell on Roy for the first time.

Although the appearance of this young mercenary is very unfamiliar. But I don't know why, his body shape, his temperament, but it gives Todd a familiar feeling.

Especially when he heard Alder say that it was this young mercenary who used the bow and arrow in his hand to inflict heavy damage on the three glorious knights and force them back, Todd's eyes were even more curious and surprised when he looked at Roy.

This young mercenary reminded him of the black-haired boy who led a group of second-rate motley troops like himself to save Lulian in a desperate situation.

Thinking of Roy, Todd's eyes couldn't help but darken. He still couldn't understand how such a teenager could be punished by heaven.

When the news first came, the defenders of Warm Water Lake Fort were full of grief and anger. Everyone scolded the black-clothed priest in front of the black-clothed priest who came to investigate. Even when the messengers of heaven came to the fjords and passed through the castle of the warm lake, there was not a single one to greet them.

With silence and angry eyes, they expressed their attitude. So much so that now every time the national anthem and bells ring, the response in the castle of Warm Water Lake is the children covering their ears, the heavy slamming of the doors of the adults, and the angry spitting of the soldiers on the city walls.

Shaking his head quickly, throwing these out of his mind, Todd led the people to carefully investigate the scene.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

Listening to Alder's narration, this bandit group is not only well-trained and prohibited, but also has four glorious knights among them. This is clearly not an ordinary bandit bandit. It is likely that, as Alder had suspected, it was a group of knights in the army.

And the traces of the scene also illustrate this point.

Whether it is the horseshoe marks on the ground, the battle marks left by the surrounding trees, or the corpses and scattered weapons, it shows that this gang of bandits is not a rabble. They are well-armed, and when fighting, the formation is maintained quite intact, and when they ride their horses and run, they have a certain line and coordination.

Such a team, not to mention this small caravan, even if it is a head-on collision with its own patrol, it may not be pleased. If nothing else, those four glorious knights alone were enough to drink a pot of their own. It is not impossible for a single careless army to be wiped out.

Turning his head to look at the young mercenary named Leo, Todd frowned slightly.

He had no doubts about this young and strong mercenary.

First, after all, it was someone who rescued this caravan, and second, Todd also knew that since the invasion of the demons, those strong people who were hidden in the crowd in the past have surfaced.

Not to mention those well-known old powerhouses, just among the younger generation, there have been several amazing characters in the recent period.

They may be geniuses secretly cultivated by a wealthy family, or outstanding disciples of a certain Sword Saint Sect, or they may be the reserve forces cultivated by a certain knight order or a knight academy. At this time, he was released in order to increase his experience and improve his strength to meet this troubled era.

Todd was sure that the young mercenary, named Leo, was one of them. Otherwise, where would ordinary mercenaries have such great ability?

What worries Todd is the bandits of unknown origin.

As we all know, in recent times, Lulian has become a place of contention for major powers.

This was something that could not be avoided and had no choice but to do so. It's like a delicious honey cake that will always attract rat ants.

But as a Lurian, from the Archduke Adolf to the common men and the common people, they did not want this land that had just escaped the flames of war to suffer from turmoil because of those greedy fellows.

Some time ago, Grand Duke Adolf made one deployment after another to strengthen the security and defense forces of major cities. At the same time, a series of strict law and order regulations were promulgated to restrain the behavior of the major forces. Anyone who dares to disrupt the peace and tranquility of the Lulian family will become an enemy of the Lulian family.

The major forces are all obedient on the surface, but Todd knows that there is an undercurrent under the calm river. There are signs of escalation in all kinds of open and covert battles.

Especially this time, there were knights in the army who pretended to be bandits to attack and kill caravans on the land of Lulian. This is enough to prove how unscrupulous these people are.

Todd didn't know what the purpose of these men was, but he knew that it had something to do with the current situation in Lurien, and that there must be a hidden conspiracy. If left unchecked, it may not be long before Lulian is caught up in a storm.

This matter must be reported to the Grand Duke!

With his mind in mind, Todd called Alder, walked up to a group of dwarves, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I must tell the Grand Duke about this. From now on, I will personally escort you to Muni City. However, when you arrive in the city of Muni, you will have to meet the Grand Duke with me. ”

Alder naturally had no opinion on this, and several dwarves quarreled for a while, although they didn't think it was useful to sue the human lord for this kind of thing, but when they heard that Todd would escort him, they reluctantly agreed.

Todd turned his head and looked at Roy, "Mr. Leo, what about you?"

"Willing to help. Roy nodded, his gaze a little cold.

He was going to go to Muni City to explain that the attack was just a matter of handy. Moreover, he is also full of curiosity about the shady scenes behind this matter. He wanted to know what it was that didn't know how to live and die, and wanted the lives of his childhood friends.

As long as he finds out the culprit, he doesn't mind using the most cruel means to make the other party understand what regret is...... (To be continued......)
