Chapter 741: No More Debt
And at this time, Gordon's condition was not much better than that of his subordinates, during this time he had been hit by Xiao Di's no less than twenty restraint techniques and corrosion techniques, and he couldn't move half a step when he stood still, and could only watch as several of his deputy captains either died or fainted, and the five hundred soldiers surrendered either dead or wounded, holding back the fire in their stomachs but not coming out.
Now under the constant wear and tear of so many corrosion techniques, a small half of his vitality has also been consumed, and what is even more terrifying is that his defense power has been weakened to a very serious point, basically only to the extent of about the fifth-order strength.
Don't talk about Xiao Di now, you don't even need Nadal to make a move, as long as Gru can hit him hard with a salvo, the dignified ninth-order martial artist, the heavy general under the command of Count Lankao, would fall to such a miserable point, who could have imagined in advance?
Xiao Di looked at Gordon with a smile and said, "How about it, Lord Gordon, do you want to surrender?" I can also let you go this time, but only this once, there will be no such shop in this village." ”
Gordon stared at Xiao Di's eyes, and said slowly after half a sound: "Xiao Di, I admit that I underestimated you this time, but if you really dare to kill me, it will be a complete tear with Lord Count Lankao, and when the time comes, he will do his best to deal with you by any means, and it will definitely not end as simply as today, you are also a smart person, I don't think you have the guts." ”
Xiao Di smiled faintly: "Baron Gordon, it seems that you don't seem to know me very well, and you don't know our Shura Gang, I have already said before, we welcome any friend, but we will never be afraid of any enemy, this time I give you a chance to live is not afraid of Count Lankao, but just to repay the friendship he helped us in our difficult times before - and from today onwards, I have also paid off this friendship."
Now, if you are willing to surrender, I can let you go back unharmed, but if you are really so backbone and loyal, I don't mind fulfilling you, as for the consequences, hehe, let alone the Earl of Lankao, even if it is the Grand Duke of Garton, if he must oppose me, then I will definitely accompany me to the end, this is the way of doing things for our Mephisto family. ”
Gordon's body shook when he heard this, and he had been observing Xiao Di's expression when Xiao Di spoke, he didn't see even the slightest hesitation, let alone fear, it can be seen that Xiao Di is not shouting slogans or big words, it is completely from his heart.
Gordon sighed in his heart, knowing that he might have really met a big man this time, the legend of those high-level demons has a kind of madness in their bones, once their dignity is violated, they will not die, they don't care about death at all, let alone bleeding and injury, now from Xiao Di and his subordinates, the level of this Mephisto bloodline is probably really high.
Although Gordon hadn't heard of it, the existence of the real high-level demons was originally a secret, except that it was impossible to know everything except that the identity and level had reached that level, and the world only knew the most famous ones, but everyone knew that there was definitely more than that.
Gordon suddenly seemed to be ten years older, and his previous arrogance was also discharged, he lowered his head and whispered: "Okay, then I am willing to surrender, I hope that Lord Xiao Di can keep his promise and give me a decent treatment." ”
Xiao Di nodded seriously and said: "Baron Gordon, please rest assured, I will follow my promise to ensure your personal safety, but according to the war practice between our major forces, all your equipment is our trophies, I hope this is understood." ”
After saying that, Xiao Di immediately ordered Henry to bring the war priests of the Glorious Battalion to treat all the wounded on both sides, and Gordon also cooperated and ordered his subordinates to hand over all the equipment on their bodies.
The five hundred cavalry brought by Gordon in this battle were disturbed by quicksand and various control magic as soon as they came up, and they couldn't attack smoothly at all, so not many people charged out until the end, on the contrary, they were killed and wounded by Gru's archer brigade, plus Xiao Bing took advantage of the chaos of the assassin group to attack, and in the end there were only more than two hundred people still alive, and the officers lost more than eighty percent.
On the contrary, the Shura Gang only had a dozen people injured, and none of them were killed, and a few of them were accidentally caused by nervousness or lack of training when changing battle formations.
As for the trophies, the Shura Gang harvested more than 200 fine iron wildebeest horses, more than 400 sets of light cavalry armor and weapons, which can be described as a bumper harvest, and it is worth mentioning that they captured an epic suit bracer on Baron Gordon's body, which opened Xiao Di's eyes.
This is a set of equipment specially created for melee warriors, the name of the suit is "Strength", it is a bit like the warrior suit "Courage" that Nadal is wearing now, and every two pieces will be added to the practical attribute, but one of the two is epic, and the other is sophisticated, just like the chests of Sister Liu Yan and Brother Chun, although they are the same thing, but there is no comparison at all.
Xiao Di took the power bracer and looked at it several times, and couldn't help but secretly praise that the forging level of the Molten Heart was really high enough, and it was not comparable to Azeroth at all, this gap was like the gap between the two sides in enchantment and alchemy, it seemed that it was really necessary to go to other spaces to see the world, otherwise it would be too much to sit and watch the sky.
After reading it carefully, Xiao Di casually threw the bracer to Nadal: "Rafa, give this thing to you." ”
Nadal took it and put it on unceremoniously - epic-level equipment has a soul binding process, if the latter's martial soul or bloodline purity is not enough to suppress the previous wearer, this equipment will not be able to wield its full effect even if it is worn, but judging from the shining light on the bracers, Nadal's eighth level Admiralty martial soul has undoubtedly completely suppressed Gordon's horned bloodline, which makes Gordon's eyelids involuntarily jump again while watching coldly and still holding a trace of luck.
He didn't expect Xiao Di to be unmoved in the face of such a good thing, and gave it to Nadal directly, and this Nadal accepted it without even saying a kind word, where the fuck is it like a subordinate relationship, it is completely a brother at the same level, which makes Gordon, who is used to a strict hierarchy and a clear distinction between upper and lower levels, very unaccustomed.
What made him even more depressed and shocked was that Nadal's bloodline level was really far above him, and the process of soul binding was completely smooth, which also made Gordon's last trace of luck extinguished, and he now completely concluded that these guys were definitely from a high-level demon family, even if it was a branch lineage, it was not something he could compete with, so it was not too embarrassing to lose this time, and Gordon felt a little better when he thought of this.
After taking the things and helping Gordon and his gang to treat their injuries, the two sides parted ways, the Shura Gang wanted to return to the Black Wind Ridge, and Gordon also had to go back to the top to ask for guilt, as for what Count Lankao would do in the end, it was not something he could predict, but in his heart, Gordon no longer wanted to go against Xiao Di and the Shura Gang.
Before parting up, Xiao Di said lightly to Gordon: "Baron Gordon, now the favor I owe to your Count of Lankao has been paid off - otherwise none of you five hundred people will survive, presumably Baron Landry's castle, who is defenseless at the moment and is still waiting for your good news, has no ability to stop us, I could have looted them, that is not a small amount."
So I hope you can help me with a word when you go back, and now our relationship has returned to the level where the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it is better for everyone to keep their own boundaries and be safe, but if you have to go your own way, we will not be polite anymore, okay, the coming day is long, you can do it yourself. ”
After saying that, Xiao Di took the full harvest of the Shura Gang team away, Baron Gordon sighed, and he also brought people back with his head down, he suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the more than 200 cavalry and equipment were just that, and the most important thing was that the three capable deputies were missing two at once, which made him greatly reduced in terms of strength and prestige in the future, and several neighbors were afraid that they would be restless again, and there would definitely be trouble in the territory in the future.
Xiao Di took the elated and martyred Shura Gang team all the way out of Baron Landry's territory, after Gordon's fiasco, all Baron Landry's subordinates hid far away along the way, for fear that the Shura Gang would be angry with them, and they returned to the Black Wind Ridge very smoothly.
However, as soon as they came back, they ran into trouble, and after the border patrol team saw the team of the Shura Gang, they ran over and said that they wanted to inspect it, and they would also charge ten percent of the tax, saying that this was the rule of the Thirteen Alliances of the Black Wind Ridge, and no one could be an exception.
"Taxes?" All the high-level leaders of the Shura Gang, including Nadal Gru and others, couldn't help but laugh after looking at each other, the tax collection of the Black Wind Ridge actually received from them, the Shura Gang, which was one of the thirteen forces, which was simply a big joke in the world.
But Xiao Di didn't laugh, he felt that his eyes lit up, as if he had caught something important, and he couldn't help but ask the confident little leader of the patrol: "Our Shura Gang is one of the thirteen forces, even we need to pay taxes?"
The little leader was startled when he saw Nadal and the others, but when he saw Xiao Di and Yan Yue's courage, he couldn't help but grow stronger, and he said confidently: "Of course, although your Shura Gang is also one of the thirteen forces, and the goods tax and the regular tax that enters our Black Wind Ridge can be exempted, but so many of your cavalry pass by- Especially many people are wearing heavy armor, which will damage the roads here and the flowers and plants on the side of the road, this toll must be collected, even if it comes to the edge of the sky, we are reasonable, I advise you to pay it honestly, otherwise you will not be able to explain it to the alliance conference, Xiao Gang Master. ”
The little leader's words made Xiao Dimao pause, he finally figured out the key point, and couldn't help laughing: "Toll, toll, why didn't I think of it? Interesting, it's so interesting, hahaha." ”
ps: Sometimes I'm thinking, maybe it's because real life is too hard and helpless, and there are a lot of grievances that we need to endure, so there are more and more people who like to see Shuangwen without any shackles and no rules that are completely respected by the strong, but there are injustices that are simple and rude to smash with a punch, including myself, while stupidly racking my brains to code the words, while still looking at the works of the great gods and complaining, every time I think of this, I also feel that life may not be so bad, and there are many brothers like me, hehehe~
