A splendid carriage emerges from the morning mist, four wheels over the hard winter dirt and jolts towards the north.

It was quiet in the car, but there were quite a few people, and Claire, the Queen Mother of Zaran, sat on one side with her maid Martha, facing Changle, Agnes, and Ricky on the other.

It turned out that it was good to "act separately", but the Queen Mother was not at ease to let Chang Le out of her sight, after all, the important ring was still on the latter.

Chang Le claimed to be in command of the battle, delaying the pace of Fisher's army to the north, only to be exchanged for Claire's mocking laughter, and the Queen Mother always thought that "Mr. Nyquist" was bragging and claiming that there was a mercenary under his command just to inflate his value.

Now that the conditions have been negotiated, the knighthood and gold coins have been promised, and the contract has been signed, she advises the young magician to stop pretending and to make the next step together.

The "next step" is to visit a number of nobles and enlist the support of private armies.

Now the army of the royal capital of Zalan is loyal to the new king Theodore, which is equivalent to obeying the orders of the Fisher, all of which are unreliable, and to fight against the Fisher's army, they can only rely on the strength of a few great nobles.

Chang Le didn't want to argue, it was inconceivable that a magician of unknown origin had an army under his command.

Since the name "Nyquist" was used fraudulently, he played this mysterious magician to the end.

Anyway, there is a soul servant, he can teleport his mind and control his army remotely, just like playing an invisible game of chess, sitting quietly in the carriage can also manage the overall situation, and secretly compete with the strong enemies in the far north.

The carriage was well insulated, and the seats were soft and comfortable, but it was rated to only carry four people, so all the men except Changle were driven outside.

Lao Hei continued to act as a coachman, but in fact, his skills were not very skillful, and he relied on the coercion of high-level demonic beasts against ordinary creatures to control horses.

The young master of the duke, Weber, sat next to Lao Hei, but his pampered body could not withstand the severe cold, so he had to wrap himself in a dirty quilt, his face was still handsome, his hairstyle was not messy, but he looked like a complete vagabond from a distance.

The big knife sat on the top of the car, his body was like a statue, the two steel knives were crossed behind his shoulders, and his sharp eyes scanned around, as a "gatekeeper of hell" for 4,000 years, he had become accustomed to always being vigilant.

Such a group of people, including the beautiful Queen Mother Claire, are actually mostly not "people", and they either hide their strength or hide their breath, and at first glance the strongest person is Weber wrapped in a torn quilt.

He alone was enough to deter potential attackers, provided that the enemy was also strong enough to recognize his Fighting Spirit level Dou Qi realm.

It's a pity that there are too many bandits and bandits who are halfway out of the house in this land that has lost order, and the Fisher soldiers who block the road to "collect taxes" are not much stronger, and this carriage is too ostentatious, and it looks like it is ridden by rich nobles.

So there are still a lot of people who come to find trouble, and from time to time, Young Master Webb has to throw away the quilt and jump out of the car to beat a few people to warm up.

However, some troubles can be solved with fists and kicks, and some cannot.

The big knife on the roof of the car suddenly shouted:

"Beloved king, there is an army ahead, coming on, about five hundred!"

"King?" exclaimed Claire on the other side, "Mr. Nyquist, why do your bodyguards call you King?"

"Because I paid him. Chang Le smiled and glanced at the roof of the car again, "Stupid! don't shout private jokes publicly!"

Then proceed to command in a loud voice:

"Lao Hei pull over, Webb, you deal with it, what should you say that you don't need me to teach, right?"

"Report sir, I'm not stupid!"

Weber's response also aroused Claire's curiosity, and the beautiful and holy Queen Mother smiled and asked:

"Dear Mr. Magician, how did you become a chief again?"

This time, Chang Le became serious:

"Your Royal Highness, Honorable Queen Mother, everyone has secrets, and so do you. ”

Sure enough, such a sentence curbed all the curiosity of the Queen Mother, and she sighed silently and stopped talking.

The secret of the Queen Mother doesn't seem to be smaller than Chang Le, she doesn't say it, and Chang Le doesn't ask.

Soon after, the chaotic footsteps of the army came to the car.

For two days, Chang Le and his entourage picked out deserted paths in order to avoid a large army.

It's not that the army is terrible, there are at least three Zhanzong in their group, and any one of them can destroy thousands of troops at will, and the treaty of "Zhanzong does not participate in the front line of the war" does not prohibit Zhanzong from defending himself when attacked by soldiers.

It is said that there are "at least" three war sects, because there is still a Claire whose details are unknown, if it is similar to the situation of Agnes, once the "true body" is revealed, I don't know what it is, and what kind of power it can burst out.

What Chang Le hopes to avoid is the exposure of his and Claire's whereabouts, which arouses the vigilance of Elliot, who is sitting in the royal capital.

Elliot hoped that the new empire would be justified through a grand ceremony, with Theodore personally announcing Zaran's annexation to Fisher.

Changle also looked forward to this ceremony in order to expose his plot in front of all the nobles.

Therefore, it can only be low-key and low-key.

A whispered report came from outside the car:

"There is the insignia of the Fisher royal family on the shield, and they are all Fisher light infantry!"

Weber had already thrown off the quilt and jumped out of the car beforehand, and after reminding Chang Le in the car at this time, he immediately dressed up and greeted the commander with a graceful demeanor.

He declared himself "Duke Sharp's son", went out with his servants and family to visit friends, and was now returning to the castle.

Duke Sharp is the largest lord in the neighborhood and the great nobleman Claire is about to visit, because he did not participate in the coalition against Haviland, his manpower and material resources have been completely preserved, and he has become the object of competition between the new king and the queen mother at this moment.

Since this man is very important, he believes that Fisher's army will also maintain respect for him, so Webb impersonates his son.

Although Weber is an impostor, he is a real duke and young master, so his appearance and clothing do not show the slightest flaw, which makes the other party awe-inspired.

Chang Le was secretly funny in his heart, he took Weber just to give full play to his social skills, and to drink and dance with the nobles, but he didn't expect to travel all the way in a carriage, and the young duke and young master took on the literary and martial arts, and contributed more than anyone else.

Weber is easy to panic when he leads his troops to fight, in fact, he is not stupid, especially after being worn away by setbacks and arrogant, showing that his character is quite simple, unscrupulous but not despicable, and he can consider cultivating more in the future.

As he was thinking about the future, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching quickly, and as soon as the car door opened, a cold wind poured in, and at the same time the head of an officer poked in.

The other party believed Weber's statement, but also emphasized that there was an order from above that any pedestrians, vehicles and horses from south to north must be checked.

The original intention was to check, and when the officer saw Agnes and Martha and the others, his eyes lit up, and a malicious smile appeared on his face, and he obviously had more plans.

"A small carriage, hiding so many beautiful women, must be famous, must be brought back for interrogation!"

Webber hurriedly reminded solemnly that the car was full of Duke Sharp's dependents, and if the other party dared to do anything wrong, he would face serious consequences.

However, the respect of Fisher's army for the duke was very limited, and the officers were warned to still have a hippie smile:

"These are all dependents? How many wives can the Duke marry? Hey, two hooded ones, open them for me to see!"

Martha, faithful to the Lord, angrily pointed at the tip of the officer's nose:

"What is the identity of my master, it is also a person like you who can see it!"

The officer laughed when he heard this:

"You're a maid, this maid asked me to take it back for trial, the duke shouldn't blame me, right?"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Martha.

The fifteen-year-old girl is pink, delicate, beautiful and cute, like a jar of honey attracting bees and butterflies in front of vulgar soldiers, and it is the second time in two days that she has been taken by Fisher's soldiers.

Webber scolded sharply, but did not stop him, and glanced at Chang Le for orders.

Before Chang Le could speak, he heard the wind whistling, the silver light flashed, Officer Fisher's head disappeared, leaving a red Yanyan neck cavity spurting blood, and the cross-sections of various pipes and spine bones were clear and neat, which showed the speed of the knife.

Before Martha's scream could be uttered, the broadsword appeared in front of her, blocking the flying blood fountain with its burly body, kicking the headless officer away, and then turning back and grinning:

"Martha, I'll protect you!"

The Fisher soldiers outside were in chaos, and the sound of scolding and drawing swords rang out.

Chang Le's face sank:

"Since you've done it, don't leave it alive!"

"Yes!" the broadsword flashed and disappeared from the threshold of the carriage.

Countless screams and cries rang out almost simultaneously.

Webb, who was holding the car door, looked at the battlefield, his face was a little pale, and his whole body shook from time to time, as if he was frightened by the scene in front of him.

Claire's red lips under the hood raised, and she smiled:

"Mr. Nyquist, your bodyguard is more powerful than I expected, and I can't tell his depth, but I can't discern his true body. ”

"It's just a few hundred soldiers, and he doesn't have to show his real body, what about you?

After Chang Le finished speaking, he fell into meditation like closing his eyes again, and he was halfway through the remote meeting with the generals in front of him, of course he didn't want to be interrupted.

Claire was silent for a moment and smiled softly:

"Now I am the noble queen mother, and the 'original form' was a poor flower girl, do you want to ask this?"

Chang Le knew that she didn't want to tell her secrets more, so she stopped speaking out.

Out of curiosity, the little girl Martha went to the door and looked out, and then immediately shrank back with a pale face, curled up in her seat and shivered, and covered her mouth, as if she wanted to vomit.

Webb took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze, and turned to Chang Le:

"Sir, the fastest way I kill people is one knife, your new subordinate will cut ten of them, I will cut people in two, he will cut people in one and eight pieces, is he going to take them to the market and sell them for nothing?"

"Say no more!" Martha covered her ears with her hands and stomped desperately with her eyes closed. It seems that the scene she just witnessed has stimulated her a lot.

At this moment, the screams had subsided, and the broadsword returned like a phantom, his face covered in bright red and blood, and only a mouthful of white teeth appeared in the shape of a crescent moon with his smile:

"Report to you...... Report to the master, mission accomplished!"

Then he smiled at Martha:

"Are you alright? I'll protect you!"

At this moment, the big knife was too hideous, Martha opened her eyes, and there was another scream, and the whole person threw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother to hide.

Chang Le snorted, got out of the car, and closed the door.

In the rolling black mist, hundreds of huge white bone evil spirit insects appeared out of thin air, swarming towards the corpse mountain and blood river, dragging the scattered corpses of soldiers to the barren grass in the distance.

After watching it silently for a while, Chang Le's mood was slightly complicated, he brought all kinds of demonic beasts and dark creatures to slaughter human soldiers, and compared with the great demon king "Elliott", he didn't know what the essential difference was.

When I turned around, I saw Lao Hei sitting in the driver's seat, staring straight into the distance with his eyes, and his Adam's apple kept sliding up and down, probably swallowing saliva.

"Master," Lao Hei and Chang Le's eyes touched, and they couldn't help but make a request, "I also want to clean up the battlefield." ”

"I said one last time, don't eat human flesh again!"

"That's the enemy's flesh ......"

"If you can't, you can't!"

After categorically breaking Lao Hei's thoughts, Chang Le came to Dadao's side, took out a new set of clothes from the beast soul space, and handed him a jar of water to make him change his clothes and wash his face.

At the same time, he also told him that in the future, if it is not necessary, he is not allowed to make himself bloody, and killing people is only a means to achieve the goal, and it cannot be regarded as an end, let alone a kind of enjoyment.

The big knife will not bargain, nodding again and again with a sincere smile, and accepts it all.

Since this guy has the idea of "marrying a wife", he says "I love you" when he sees a beautiful girl, and he doesn't understand what real love is.

However, after seeing Martha, he changed his appearance, completely lost interest in other women, and his eyes always revolved around the little girl, and his eyes were not evil, but full of concern.

In the past, Broadsword waited for orders for everything, and killing the officer was his only autonomous action, and the motive was of course to protect Martha.

That's also a good thing.

Although Changle's plan to match Ruiqi and Dadao fell through, at least Dadao has made progress on the road to "becoming human", which is enough to gratify.

He patted on the shoulder of the broadsword:

"It seems that you really like Martha, but it's okay to protect her, don't scare her, such a fierce look, she will be worried, will she be cut into eight pieces by you if she quarrels with you in the future?"

"No!

"Then restrain yourself and learn from Weber's demeanor and temperament. ”

"King, I want to learn from you, you are my father......"

"Shut up, I'm not your dad!"

Chang Le smiled and refused the opportunity to "be a father", and after the big knife finished changing clothes, he took back all the evil spirit insects and opened the door to get into the car.

Claire didn't pay attention to the killing in front of her, if she hadn't seen the unfathomable strength of Chang Le's group, she wouldn't be willing to offer generous conditions in exchange for cooperation.

Of course, the Queen Mother pays more attention to the overall situation:

"It's strange, isn't Fisher's army assembling in the north to ensure the smooth progress of the merger ceremony between the two countries, why is it going south now?"

"This is Elliott's new order, be sure to stop the enemy on the line of the Griffin River in the south, and if the flames of war are ignited in the north, what will be the ceremony?"

The Queen Mother was full of surprise:

"Enemy troops, where are the enemy troops?"

Chang Le's face was expressionless, and he raised his finger and tapped the tip of his nose, then stopped talking and fell into meditation again.
