The corners of Mabel's mouth twitched slightly, but soon his face returned to normal, and he smiled slightly: "Haha, my brother will really save trouble, by the way, I have asked them to go to Si'er Town first." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"There's Brother Lao. Li Xuan said politely.

"Hehe, brother is polite, by the way, when I came, I had already ordered someone to prepare a dinner party, and we ...... now"

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

A guard rushed into the side hall in a frenzy, interrupting Mabel.

Mabel's words were interrupted, his face turned cold, and he looked at the guard who rushed in and said coldly: "If you have something to say, go out and get twenty military sticks after you finish speaking." ”

The guard's face turned pale when he heard the Twenty Sticks, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy, because their lord had always been a man of the same word, and punishment was punishment, and if he dared to beg for mercy, no matter what the reason, he would not cancel the punishment, but would increase the punishment.

"My lord, the second brigade of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment escorted the goods to the Miya Empire, and when passing through the Broken Sky Gorge, there was a conflict with the Black Harrier Thieves Group, and the elite brigade of five hundred people was wiped out. The guard said with an uneasy expression.

"The elite brigade of five hundred people has been wiped out?!" Mabel stood up from his position with a 'poof' and exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at the guard.

This news is really shocking, you must know that although the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group cannot be compared with those big mercenary groups on the mainland, it is one of the best mercenary groups in the city of Trines, their leader is a two-star Martial Emperor, and the three deputy leaders are also eight or nine-star Martial Sect powerhouses, and at the same time, the regiment also has nine worshippers, each of whom has the strength of the Martial Sect, such a lineup is much stronger than some small families.

In addition to these high-level members, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group also has very high requirements for the level of the members below, their regiment has a total of seven brigades, each brigade has five hundred people, of which the first and second brigades are the elite brigades of the mercenary regiment, if you want to enter these two brigades, you must be able to rank in the top 1,000 in the whole regiment, in addition to these two elite brigades, the rest are five ordinary brigades, although they are ordinary brigades, but they are also stronger than ordinary mercenary groups.

The first and second elite brigades, among which the weakest mercenaries generally have the strength of four or five-star martial artists, and those below this strength will generally be brushed down in the whole regiment assessment at the end of the year.

At the end of each year, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will conduct a regimental assessment, in which each mercenary brigade will first conduct its own assessment, and the bottom ten of each pair of the two elite brigades will be compared with the top ten of each pair of the five ordinary brigades again, and finally the top twenty will be determined, of which one to ten will enter the first brigade, eleven to twenty will enter the second brigade, and the rest will be assigned to the ordinary brigade at one time.

With this system of annual assessment, the strength of the members of the elite brigade of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is increasing day by day, and the captains of the two elite brigades have reached the peak of the nine-star martial arts, and they can be regarded as having one foot in the category of the martial arts.

"Are you sure it's the elite brigade of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment and not the ordinary brigade?" Mabel asked in disbelief as he already knew the answer in his heart.

"My lord, it's definitely an elite team, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group seems to have received a very important escort mission this time, so this time they are not only escorted by the second elite team, but they are even accompanied by two worshippers from the regiment, and the news of the annihilation of the second brigade is brought back by the two worshippers who escaped from serious injuries, and this matter should not be fake. The guard said with a serious expression.

Although Mabel is now 100% sure in his heart, he still feels a little unbelievable, you must know that the weakest of the five hundred people in the second brigade of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment have the strength of four or five-star martial artists, among which their captain is a nine-star martial artist, and he is a nine-star martial artist who has stepped into the peak of the martial sect with one foot, in addition to their captain, the two deputy captains have the strength of the eight-star martial artist, and there are about twenty people in the entire brigade whose strength has reached the martial master, plus the two accompanying martial arts sects, such a team may not rush to the hard encounter even if it is the three major thieves groups of the Broken Sky Gorge, but the black harrier touched it this time, and also drove the other party away, Mabel couldn't figure out what made the Black Harrier so decisive.

Mabel rubbed his forehead with a little headache, waved his hand and said to the guard: "You go down, forget about the twenty military sticks, next time you dare to be so reckless, it will not be twenty military sticks." ”

"Thank you, sir. The guard withdrew with a happy face.

After the guard withdrew, Mabel looked at Li Xuan sitting next to him and said with a headache: " The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is one of the largest mercenary groups in our Trines City, although its strength is not as good as those top super mercenary groups in the mainland, but it is definitely not to be underestimated, especially his two elite teams of five hundred people, compared to the elite teams of the top mercenary groups in the mainland, but such an elite team was completely annihilated by the Black Harrier Thieves Group, I estimate that this time the Black Harrier Thieves Group dispatched all the personnel to participate in this operation, which is also what I don't understand, what is the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group escorting this time, it is worthy of the Black Harrier Thieves Group！”

"Such a team has been wiped out by the Black Harrier Thieves Regiment, and the strength of the Black Harrier Thieves Regiment is so strong?" Li Xuan asked in surprise.

"The Black Harrier Thieves Group is one of the three major thief groups around Broken Sky Gorge, their leader is a five-star Martial Emperor, and their thief group also has a one-star Martial Emperor Deputy Leader, even the other two major thief groups in Broken Sky Gorge can't be compared. However, they don't usually go too far, and this time it's very unusual. Mabel said with some concern.

"There are these thieves in this Broken Heaven Gorge, why don't you send people to encircle and suppress them, and let them occupy the mountain there?" Li Xuan asked with some puzzlement.

Mabel smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't you think that the countries near the Broken Heaven Gorge have not sent people to encircle and suppress it? Since the founding of our Holy Empire, the thieves on the Broken Heaven Gorge have changed more than a hundred times, and the thieves groups I am talking about are the top ones on the Broken Heaven Gorge. As for those small thieves, it is estimated that they have changed thousands of waves. ”

Looking at the surprised look on Li Xuan's face, Mabel continued: "But every time the thief group is exterminated, it doesn't take long for a new thief group to appear, and the countries spend a huge price again and again to exterminate the thief group but can't get any results, and finally a few countries discussed it, and simply don't exterminate those thief groups, but let them develop here, but set some conditions to restrain them." ”

Mabel took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued: " Probably more than a hundred years ago, the various countries near the Broken Sky Gorge sent representatives to come forward and made an agreement with the large and small thief groups on the Broken Sky Gorge at that time, the agreement stipulates that the thieves near the Broken Sky Gorge shall not rob anything that belongs to any of the surrounding countries, as for other things that belong to some chambers of commerce, mercenary groups or individuals, they do not restrict them, but as long as those people are robbed by a certain thief group, then the rest of the thief groups shall not rob again, and the other is that the thief group shall not harm anyone in the caravan or mercenary group team who has paid the money for no reason。 ”

Li Xuan nodded clearly, but he didn't dare to agree with this agreement in his heart, but he knew very well in his heart that he didn't have the strength to care about these things now.

Mabel's study.

Joey, the head of Mabel's three butlers dressed in black, stood in front of Mabel and said with a worried expression: "My lord, will this new baron be dissatisfied with his territory after taking office, if there is any dispute and the matter of the magic crystal mine is leaked out, it will be troublesome? ”

Mabel smiled calmly and said: "Joey, you are too worried, since His Majesty has given him there as a fief, then he will definitely tell him about the magic crystal mine, and we don't have to worry about it." ”

Joey showed a look of surprise and said, "I see, it's still the adults who think about it comprehensively." But then he showed a trace of doubt: "My lord, our side has always been fine, why did Your Majesty suddenly arrange another person to come over, doesn't this increase the probability of exposure......!

"Hmph, what does Your Majesty mean, how can you guess. Before Joey could finish speaking, Mabel interrupted him with a cold snort, "Your Majesty must have his reasons for doing this, we just need to go with the flow." ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand. ”

West.

The hotel where Li Xuan's men lived.

At this time, in the lobby of the inn, two groups of people were facing each other clearly, on one side was Geroy and the little girl Elena who met outside the city, and on the other side was a young man and several of his entourage, the originally handsome and dashing young man looked a little terrifying because of the long bleeding wound on his face, and at this moment the young man was glaring angrily at the little girl Elena hiding behind Geroy.

"Old man, hurry up and hand over the little girl behind you, our young master will not care about you if he has a lot, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" a retinue beside the handsome young man pointed at Elena behind Geroy and shouted angrily.

"Grandpa Geroy, Elena won't dare next time, I really didn't mean to, you don't give Elena to that bad guy, don't ...... Woo woo......" Elena, who was hiding behind Geroy, listened to the words of the attendant opposite, her little face became a little pale, she pulled Geroi's clothes, tears in her eyes, and said pitifully.
