Chapter 17: Why?

Guardian Tower.

The atmosphere is getting more and more tense and solemn.

Roy's pace wasn't fast, but no matter how slow he was, he would still be done. What's more, the distance between Roy and Morton was not far in the first place.

Soon, Roy walked up to Morton.

The smile on Morton's face grew colder as Roy approached. Flashing murderous eyes, like a lion ready to bite the throat of its prey, it is fierce and cruel.

Neither he nor the other thunderstorm mercenaries beside him expected that this black-haired boy would take the initiative to walk over to his side, with a posture of asking for guilt.

It's a death search!

While Morton doesn't want a premature conflict in the face of uncertainty, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to watch someone provoke him and not respond. What's more, his henchman Gna died at the hands of this kid.

Seeing Roy stop, Morton smiled coldly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Let me ask you a question," Roy asked, half-narrowing, "I heard, you did it to our people just now?"

In the eyes of many, Roy was a likable young man.

He has delicate eyebrows and a gentle temperament. It looks harmless to humans and animals, and he never speaks aggressively, making it very easy for people to feel close. Especially his eyes, which always give people a hint of confusion, will make people let down all their guards unconsciously.

However, at this moment, Roy looks like an unsheathed knife.

Straight to the point, cold and sharp!

"Presumptuous!"

"What are you, dare to talk like that!"

The thunderstorm mercenaries immediately blew up and shouted angrily.

"Are you questioning me?" asked Morton with a wave of his hand to stop his men, tilting his head sideways in disbelief. "Did I hear me right?"

"You heard you right. Roy nodded, "Answer my question, Morton." ”

Roy's tone was calm, without a single ebb and flow. But every thunderstorm mercenary could swear to the Holy Emperor, this was the most impatient face they had ever seen in their lives.

A strong murderous intent emerged from Morton's heart. He laughed angrily: "That's right. I did it. But......" he stepped forward, smiling sarcastically and hideously: "...... So what? Make me apologize? Do you want me to kneel, or just kill me?"

There was a gasp all around.

At this moment, Morton is like an angry lion. As his voice grew louder and louder, an invisible majesty emanated from him. At this moment, everyone can even see Leo's hair and the corners of his clothes fluttering as if against a strong wind.

What a terrible momentum!

Being oppressed so face-to-face by a Sacred Domain powerhouse, everyone asked themselves, if they were themselves, they would have already staggered back like sweat.

However, the thin black-haired boy in the field of vision did not move as if he was nailed to the ground. Not only did the expression on his face not change at all, but he even looked like this. nodded and said, "Since you admit it, then I'll give you two choices." ”

Roy stretched out his hand, raised his fingers one by one, and said lightly: "Or, you cut off two hands yourself and get out with your people." Or, I'll kill you!"

Morton's laughter came to an abrupt end. He looked at Roy in disbelief like he saw a madman.

The people around were also dumbfounded. Even Rowndero and the others, who were most familiar with Roy, looked at each other. I can't believe this is the Leo I know.

"This madman!" Afu whispered.

I've seen arrogance, but I've never seen such arrogance.

Does this kid know who he's talking to--that's Morton, the deputy head of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment, who is famous in the mercenary community in the south of the Empire. A Sacred Realm powerhouse who has already ascended the thirtieth step of the Heavenly Ladder and has mastered the power of the third-level rules!

Not a dog!!

After a moment of silence, the crowd was in an uproar.

The mercenaries who had witnessed the clash between Morton and Rondello before had their sights set on the location of the Combined Squad mercenaries. They couldn't believe that Rondello had allowed this kid to anger Morton so much.

Are they all crazy?!

"Kill me?" Morton couldn't believe his ears for a moment. It wasn't until he was sure he heard it correctly that he came to his senses. The scarred cheek twitched slightly. The expression is extremely strange.

His gaze crossed over Roy and fell on Rondero, Wood, Olivia, and dozens of sabre-rattling mercenaries.

"I have to say," Morton retracted his gaze. Every word is full of Sen Leng's murderous intent, "You are the most arrogant person I have ever met." But what I don't understand is, why do you dare to say such a thing? It's up to you, or all this nonsense?

With the last "um", thirty-two battle rings were released from Morton without warning. There was a loud bang. Air bursts. A terrifying momentum rolled out like a storm, constantly climbing upwards with the flying of the battle ring, and it was incomparably violent.

Morton rage!

His only thought now is to tear the kid in front of him to shreds and crush his bones and ashes!

The faces of Rundero and the others changed suddenly, regardless of the injuries on their bodies, they collectively rushed forward, trying to protect Roy. But just then, suddenly, they saw Leo beside him, a tall, dark-skinned mercenary stepped in front of him.

"Silver Oak Mercenary Regiment!"

"Jason!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison. No one expected that in such a situation, there would be people other than the combined mercenaries who would stand up to protect Leo.

Jason's birth made Morton's already bursting gas machine condense.

He licked his lips, looked at Jason with some surprise, and sneered: "No wonder you dare to be so arrogant, it turns out that there are still people supporting you." However, if you don't try your best to wade through this muddy water, you are not afraid of dying without a burial......

Morton stopped before he could finish his words, his face pale. Because he found that as he spoke, one mercenary after another of the Silver Oak Mercenary Group came out and stood with Jason. Halfway through the sentence, the nine mercenaries were already lined up in a row!

Every Silver Oak mercenary who came out was like a slap in the face.

Seeing this scene, the thunderstorm mercenaries suddenly became in a commotion. Shout and curse in unison.

"Silver Oak Mercenary Regiment, what do you want to do!"

"Presumptuous, you're all tired of living!"

However, they had just cursed a couple of sentences when more mercenaries came out of the crowd.

Meteorite Mercenary Regiment. Tempest Mercenary Regiment, Double-Headed Eagle Mercenary Regiment, Taurus Mercenary Regiment...... The thunderstorm mercenary's shouting and scolding became quieter and quieter, and his eyes became more and more panicked.

Looking around, the mercenaries who walked out of the crowd one by one, like silent wolves, were staring at them coldly. They walked up to Roy's side, each holding the hilt of their sword tightly in their hands, exuding a fierce murderous aura.

Ten. Twenty, thirty, hundred, two hundred...... There are more and more people.

When they saw Sandra and her men, including Scarlett's knights, and the Blood Hand come out, Morton and the Thunderstorm mercenaries were all stunned.

They were extremely horrified to find that the more than 200 mercenaries who had arrived at the guardian tower just now had all stood up. And apart from them. Many of the mercenaries who had been guarding the tower before also stepped forward with their companions.

For example, Old Torik of the Silver Oak Mercenary Regiment. He was standing beside Jason at the moment, looking at them with a prescient and gloating smile.

How is this possible?!

For a while, the thunderstorm mercenaries only felt a cold and biting chill, and climbed up their backs. Many people's bodies trembled involuntarily.

And with the same symptoms as them, there are also Landelo and others on the other side. It's just different. Climbing up their backs was a tingling electric current. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them excitedly, and they couldn't help themselves for a while.

"Pleasantly surprised, isn't it?" Jarvis's voice rang in everyone's ears.

The crowd turned to look at him.

Yalves smiled slightly, his gaze away from Rondello. The faces of Wood, Olivia, Racios, Tusu and the others swept over them, and finally landed on Afu, who was wide-eyed, and said, "Do you know how we got here with more than 200 people?"

Everyone looked at each other.

This question is actually the biggest question in their minds.

They had experienced a difficult trek through a ruined garden, and had been attacked by waves of demons that seemed to be endless. They once escaped death in the siege of demons, and once saw the lives around them sinking in the tide of demons.

As a result, they know better than anyone else the horrors of the world beyond the tower. I know better than anyone how much it costs to take a step forward.

And the more this happened, the more they couldn't understand how so many people had gathered, and how they had come here from the all-pervasive tide of demons.

For them, it's an incredible miracle.

It's just that the joy at that time occupied their entire hearts, and they only cared about hugging and celebrating with their companions who came to them alive, so that they didn't have time to ask questions.

It wasn't until Jarvis asked at this moment that everyone suddenly realized.

Then, a thought passed through my mind like a lightning bolt in the night sky, and everyone's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat!

Afu's eyes shone like stars. She bit her lip lightly and asked, "Is it him?"

"It's him!"

Jarvis did not hesitate to confirm the most eager, excited, and exhilarating speculation in everyone's mind.

"It was Leo who found us one by one, it was he who pulled us up from the abyss of death, it was he who brought us together, it was he who brought us here!"

"I, Sanchez, Shazo, Franco, Larry, Silver Oak, Tempest...... Two hundred and seventy-three people, each of whom he saved with his own hands. We followed him all the way. Since then, we've never been a mess of sand anymore!"

Every word of Jarvis felt like a heavy knock in his heart. For a while, everyone only felt that their faces were hot and their ears were hot, as if they were drunk. The blood boiled suddenly.

I see!

In the field of vision, Jarvis turned to look at Morton, and his voice echoed in the silent guardian tower: "Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment, Morton of the Sanctuary powerhouse, hehe, what a murderous and terrifying name." Control life and death from above, kill whoever you want, take what you want!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes focused on the pale faces of Morton and the thunderstorm mercenary beside him. Listen to Yárvis's unabashed mockery.

"Now, let's show everyone the arrogance!" ...... (To be continued.) )
