Rumble!

Leon stepped on it, and the flames where the boots fell, and the ground around them suddenly exploded into a sea of fire, and the three-headed demonic beast screamed miserably and was blasted out by the burst of power.

But at this time, three vampires who had sneaked up behind Leon attacked, and three thin swords stabbed into his back at the same time, and the tips of the swords shone with bloody fighting energy.

"Ahh

At the last moment, a pale cyan wind blade silently struck from the side, slicing through the body of a vampire and cutting him in two!

Another silvery-white beam of light slammed into the vest of another vampire almost at the same moment, blasting his upper body apart.

The two vampires were instantly incapacitated, and the third vampire's spaniel had just touched Leon's body.

Leon Huo Ran turned around and swung his sword, and the red-blooded heavy sword roared across the opponent's neck, cutting off the vampire's head!

Leon let out a long breath.

The power in his body was still surging, and there was no sign of decay, and the power brought by the combination of the two magic weapons was much stronger than before.

But the battle in the dark of night came to an end.

The curtain wall of black fog that shrouded the hillside had vanished, and all but three of the twelve Templars had been left to protect Xiling and Corinna.

The remnants of the vampires could not hide or withstand the attacks of the Templars, and fled after leaving behind a dozen corpses.

The three Templars rushed to Leon's side and slew the remaining beasts like vegetables.

Farther away, two vampire mages vanished, transforming into bats and escaping under the cover of night.

It's cheaper for you this time!!" Leon spat on the ground.

He also wanted to hunt down the Blood Clan summoning mage, and if he could capture it, he could ask the mastermind behind the scenes.

Tonight's attack, no matter how you look at it, will not be a coincidence.

However, the steady Lex vetoed Leon's idea, for him to protect Xi Ling's safety is the most important, digging out the root of the enemy is secondary.

Moreover, his men also took three live mouths.

These living mouths are all vampires who have been badly injured in battle, and their powerful bodies and amazing self-healing abilities have become their biggest nightmare at this time.

Leon took matters into his own hands and dragged the three vampires to a place where the two beauties could not see, and tortured them to extract confessions.

It took him a toss or two of sand before he got a little bit of useful confidence from the dying vampire.

Chopping off the other party's head and crushing it, Leon returned to the makeshift camp with a strong bloody aura.

"These vampires are from the Pharea Empire, and they got information from the Shadow Guild that they thought I was a fat sheep!"

The Shadow Guild is a pan-continental, underground organization with a surname somewhat similar to the Assassin League, but surpassing the Assassin League in all aspects of power and territory.

The Vampires have a deep relationship with the Shadow Guild, and the Shadow Guild once assassinated Leon in Uglu and suffered a crushing defeat, for which the Shadow Guild also issued an internal bounty.

"My head is worth a million gold coins now..."Leon smacked his lips, a little depressed: "It's only a million!"

Now Leon's net worth is at least tens of millions.

"The Shadow Guild is quite tough, and I'm afraid there will be similar attacks in the future. Corinna said with some concern.

"Let them come!" Leon's tiger eyes flashed sharply: "I have been anxious, and I have never had a good time with them!"

When he returns to the Sal Territory, Leon is really not afraid of this kind of shady means, as long as he rules the territory like a monolith, unless the other party sends a regular army or a super-level powerhouse to attack, he can let him die as much as he comes!

Lex said in a deep voice, "I will report this matter to Lord Faennes, and the temple will definitely warn the Shadow Guild that they will definitely restrain unless they don't gain a foothold in the kingdom." ”

There is always darkness under the sun, and existence such as the Shadow Guild Assassin League is always unavoidable, but these dark forces also have a set of rules of conduct, and they will inevitably be afraid of the temples with large forces on the bright side.

Otherwise, the Temple Thunder Fury will start a war at any cost, and it is not impossible to uproot the power of the Shadow Guild in the Kingdom of Beamon.

Therefore, by the temple, the Shadow Guild will definitely make concessions, although it may not give up revenge, but the internal bounty will definitely disappear, otherwise it will be a naked provocation.

Even if this matter was in the past, when it was dawn the next day, the group embarked on the journey again.

Over the next three days, the team was attacked twice, but none of the attackers outnumbered the vampires, and only a handful of Assassins escaped the merciless slaughter of the Templars.

In the continuous battle, Xiling's magic and Corinna's magic control ability have been greatly improved, especially Corinna's ice and wind magic power has increased dramatically, and with the elemental spirit ring in her hand, she has killed many enemies.

Five days later, a squadron of knights from the Temple of Tormund arrived to help.

This completely extinguished the ambitions of those who harbored evil intentions, and the rest of the journey was safe all the way to Salling.

......... Back and forth, almost three months had passed since Leon left Sal to his return.

Before he set out from Ugru, the news of the expansion of the territory had been transmitted to Thrall through the temple, and the rulers of the territory, led by Elder Munstan, wasted no time and immediately sent someone to officially take over the fortress of Ironforge.

Long time no see, Ironforge!

When Leon once again stood in front of the castle on the edge of the misty forest, there was a trace of inexplicable emotion in his heart.

When he first came here, he was still an ordinary brute warrior, and in order to qualify for the promotion of Beast Soul Warrior, he entered the Dark Lands Trial with many competitors.

"Count Leon, all my men have been evacuated, and the responsibility of guarding Ironforge is entrusted to you!"

An old knight of the Lion Destal beside him said, "Depending on the situation in the forest, the next beast plague outbreak may not be far away, so you must be well prepared. ”

This old lion knight is none other than Keon Rheain, the former supreme commander of the Ironforge garrison, who has led 3,000 garrisons to garrison the castle for decades, and is very familiar with every plant and tree here, and has a lot of affection for it.

Now that he is leaving permanently, there is naturally too much nostalgia for this old knight.

Beast plague is a common scourge in areas near the Dark Lands, and every once in a while, monsters from the underworld will appear on the ground in large numbers, attacking cities and towns and causing great losses.

The Ironforge Fort was built to defend against beast plagues and dark elves.

And now, with half of the Ironforge area being assigned to Leon's domain, it has naturally become Leon's responsibility to protect the Ironforge and its people.

"I see, thank you for your advice, Knight Keane!"

Leon was very impressed and impressed by this old knight with a rough surname and a hideous face, and he saw in the other party's body the excellent qualities of the old knight of Beamon.

"If you have the chance, you can come back here often, and your Excellency will always be the most honored guest of Ironforge. ”

"There must be a chance, I'm going to retire anyway, and there will be time in the future..."The Lion Knight sighed.

From the other party's gaze, Leon saw a bit of unwillingness and unquenched ambition.

His heart suddenly moved: "Your Excellency Kean, I don't know if you are interested in continuing to serve as the prefect of Ironforge Castle, I am willing to pay a salary of 100,000 gold coins a year for this!"

The old knight was far from being able to handle a weapon, and the prestige and connections he had accumulated over decades in Ironforge were unmatched, and if he were to be brought under his command, it would be of great benefit to Leon to quickly take control of this vast new territory.

Originally, Leon didn't have this idea, but when he heard that Keane was about to retire, he immediately started to think about it.

However, Leon also felt a little strange in his heart, with the experience and qualifications of the other party, it was obviously too early to retire now.

100,000 gold coins! Keane was stunned.

This knight from the Rhine family is not a fool, of course he understands Leon's intention to recruit him, and the price offered by Leon also makes him very excited.

It's not that the Lion Knight hasn't seen money, but his previous income was not high.

Keane's stewardship of Ironforge for decades was famous for its metal smelting and armor manufacturing, and the nearby mountains were rich in mineral deposits, and the kingdom carved out many mines in the mountains, and the ore and metal extracted from it were not only supplied domestically, but also exported to the Terran countries.

There are many workshops in the castle, but each of them has a strong background, and Keane has no power to tax them, relying entirely on the funds distributed by the military department to pay the salaries and expenses of the garrison soldiers.

Although these workshops also give some money to the garrison every year, and the money offered to him as the supreme commander is not a lot, but most of it is distributed to his subordinates by this upright knight.

These non-front-line garrisons are usually paid very low, and they are often deducted and delayed.

Therefore, the money that Keane really fell into his hands in a year was only thousands of gold coins, and a large part of it was sent home for expenses, and his ordinary life was quite simple.

Now Leon has offered a price of 100,000 gold coins, and it would be a lie to say that he is not impressed.

But Keane also knew that there was a big contradiction between the Rhine family he was born in and the new earl in front of him, and Leon was a nobleman of the temple system, and serving Leon was tantamount to switching his camp.

And more importantly, the old knight knew very well how deep the water in this ironforge fort was, so deep that he, as the supreme commander, did not dare to put a foot in it for decades.
