Whoosh!

Silently, a chaotic flow of air drowned out the sudden waves, and the cold blade flowed down the air, piercing the back of the Scourge Knight's head.

"Huh?"

In an instant, Kara felt a tingling in her scalp, her heart jerked, and her face under her visor showed a look of surprise, while she poured her fighting spirit into her helmet to strengthen the defense of the Scourge Force.

Bell--!

Qingguang Dasheng's helmet shook suddenly, and a gap suddenly appeared in the weak point of the link between the back of his head and his neck, and he leaned his right hand behind him like lightning, and pinched his five fingers, and grabbed a real object from the void.

"These weird things...... It's really hard to prevent!" Kara couldn't help but sigh when she caught the invisible object that was still struggling in front of her.

A cyan flame of light emerged from his palm, and under the scorching of this fire of life, the rune of Rune attached to the mysterious artifact quickly failed, and under his astonished gaze, a short sword that continued to twist like a spiritual snake appeared in his field of vision.

"If the number of rune fighters at this level exceeds double digits, it can be a big threat for us. ”

The Scourge Knight pinched his dagger and prepared to take this rune item back to study, looking back at the battlefield of the harpy and the highland warriors, only to find that the rune warriors after losing their commander were completely scattered, and they were almost slaughtered by the monsters.

"Leave me alive!Hey!Leave me at least two alive!" He hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat, if he let the Harpy kill all the people, he would take it back and ask for credit.

"Stop!"

When the banshee leader heard Kara's shout, he immediately called his men to stop, and the eagle eye swept over the face of one corpse. Compare the sketches in your hand. Sighing abruptly:

"It's exactly the same as this group of highland warriors...... We were fooled. ”

"It's not too late to find out the truth. ”

Kara let go of the two resisting Highlanders. Walking up to the harpy, he said confidently:

"Now that we've eliminated these highland spies, if you still want revenge, you might as well go back and talk to our boss, who always counts. ”

“......”

The other party showed a tangled expression on his face, cooperating with humans is indeed a shortcut to revenge, but in the long run, will he and his clan become vassals. It's hard to say.

"I know what you're thinking, no matter what, if you resist cooperating with us, you will definitely suffer in the end. ”

Kara pulled the two unconscious Highland warriors to her side, and when she looked at the expression on the harpy's face, she faintly guessed the other party's thoughts, and immediately patiently advised:

"In order to fight against the southern invasion of the free alliance, the Celtic monster alliance is the general trend, and the sooner you join, the higher the right to speak. No matter how prejudiced you are against the Rossevians. But at least we're not going to be idle to destroy your lair, whatever you want in the Alliance. It can also be talked about on the bright side. ”

"Lord Kara......"

The banshee leader silently chewed on his words, a moving expression appeared on his face, he raised his head suddenly, stared at the Calamity Knight with eagle eyes, and said in a cold voice:

"We hate the Rosevians. ”

Does that mean there is nothing to talk about?

He folded his shoulders regretfully, spread his hands helplessly, and prepared to call for the wind and leave with the two highland spies he had just captured.

Unexpectedly, the other party changed his words in a blink of an eye, and said in a shrill voice full of hatred:

"But we hate the people of the Freedom Alliance even more! For the sake of our homeland, for the sake of our children, and for the sake of revenge on the lackeys and poop of the Highland Kingdom, we are willing to obey the orders of the Governor!"

"The Harpy clan has finally made the most mature choice. Carla clapped her palms happily and said easily:

"Welcome aboard. ”

......

"Although it was expected, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, I must praise you, you did a good job!"

When Areley learns that Kara has captured two Highland spies and successfully won over the Harpy Clan, he can't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Hahaha, little meaning. He couldn't help but grin.

"Perhaps...... In the eyes of the Harpy, you may not be able to have a high status......"

The black-haired knight rubbed his chin with his fingers, rolled his eyes, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "In this case, the task of training them to participate in air-ground coordination operations is entrusted to you, and I look forward to your good news." ”

"Hey......

Kara smirked for a while, and when he gradually came back to his senses, his face immediately fell: "Isn't it, do you want me to mess with those ugly monsters every day?"

"Calm and calm, it's a matter of survival in the Celtic region, I can only wronged you first. Yalei said with a sincere look of relief.

"That's all I can do. ”

He sighed sadly, pinched his nose and recognized the drudgery, and then handed over the short sword that was still twisting in his hand in front of the other party:

"This is the weapon of that spy leader, it can be activated after the death of the wielder, if it weren't for my high vigilance, maybe I could really be killed by that guy. ”

"Oh, it's a Mithril weapon, so extravagant. ”

The black-haired knight took the short sword, pinched it in his hand and observed it carefully for a moment, and asked solemnly, "That spy leader's name is Duke, right?

"It's him, the man himself is not very strong, but the rune props he carries are very tricky, and many pieces are used together, so I have no room to keep my hands. ”

Kara replied earnestly as she pondered the scene of the battle:

"There seem to be many types of rune items, including those that can warn, those that can perform spatial transformation, those that can harass combat, those that interfere with vision, the props that protect oneself, those that can melee and range, and those that can heal. A rune warrior of Duke's level should be able to fight with ordinary Scourge Knights in frontal combat, and the chance of winning is not small if he sneaks up. ”

"It turned out to be the combat power that was built up with rune props, and this is not bad news for us. ”

Yalei suddenly clasped his palms together, flattened the short sword in his hand, and said thoughtfully, "So that's the case...... No wonder the Highland Kingdom adopted the feudal fiefdom system......"

"What does this have to do with feudal fiefdoms?"

"Because the cost of training a rune warrior is too great, and the little financial resources of the Highland Kingdom cannot support a professional army, the Highland King has to divide the land and let them find a way to raise money to train warriors by themselves...... Of course, this is just my reasoning. ”

The black-haired knight handed back the discarded rune dagger to the other party, looking at the north in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face:

"However, we have some like-minded friends in the Highland Kingdom, and with their help, it is not difficult to verify this inference. ”

"Uh...... What's the use of knowing this?" asked the other party as he took the short sword and looked puzzled.

"It helps us to roughly gauge the strength of the enemy. ”

Yalei gave the other party a look that needed to improve his knowledge, and calmly analyzed:

"According to your description, there is a merit for the Rune item to maintain its heritage in the mainstream combat system, but the financial resources of the Highland Kingdom limit the level of this power system. The ruan warriors have defended their land and position, and the conservative forces must have been stronger than ever, and the usurping king should not have the courage to touch this cake. Moreover, after I cut off the smuggling trade network, they will lose nearly 10 billion soles of income every year, which must be a major blow to a power system that relies on money. ”

"So it's good for us to drag it out?" said Kara, her eyes lit up.

"If we drag it on, our side will collapse first...... Don't forget, my money comes on credit. ”

The black-haired knight shook his head and said with a look of regret:

"It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor and his cabinet are bent on stability and don't agree with my countermeasures, otherwise, even if I don't fight head-on, I will definitely be able to wear down the reforming Highland Kingdom by the arms race. ”

"This is also justified, the empire will transfuse blood to the Celtic region, and the Freedom Alliance will definitely also transfuse blood to the Highland Kingdom, and then I am afraid that it will turn into an arms race between the Alliance of Order and the Alliance of Freedom. ”

Speaking of this, he said with a frightened face:

"If you burn money, I don't think the empire can cost the whole world. ”

"You have a point. ”

Yalei nodded, and his face gradually became gloomy: "So we can only attack the high ground when we are the strongest, and the time can't be delayed too long, it's best to ...... It will be completed at the beginning of next year. ”

"You mean to take the initiative?" Kara stared at him with wide eyes, and couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

"Of course not! That's looking for death!"

The black-haired knight glanced at the other party fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "If the situation allows, I will create an opportunity for the Highland Kingdom to attack us first." ”

"By the Highland merchants, are you sure they can do it?" said Kara, skeptical.

"You still underestimate the power of money, we are short of money, and the King of the Highlands is also short of money, if the Highland government under his rule faces a financial crisis, I believe that the thief with great Celticism will definitely find a way to start a war and transfer the domestic contradictions. ”

"I see, you said before that the Highland merchants can fool that king for a year and a half, and that should be the limit of the Highland Kingdom's patience. ”

He showed a look of sudden realization, and said, "So that's the case, this thing is the super weapon that strangles the neck of the Highland Kingdom." ”

"We're the same...... Unless there is an all-out war, the war between the Celtic Doges and the Highland Kingdoms will not last long. ”

In fact, there is another sentence that Yalei did not tell the other party, that is, he is also eager to fight, and he is unwilling to be like the colonel Sheldon, staggering on Celtic Island until the end of the Cold War. (To be continued.) )
