Chapter 361: Disagreement & Infighting
"Hey, hey. Have you heard?The Imperial Capital has defeated the Clay and is now largely unified in the north!" A mercenary sat in the crooked neck of the small town of Doropp, pretending to talk mysteriously to his companion.
"Hey, who doesn't know this!The Royal Knights of the Imperial Capital swept across the prairie, and the 500,000 Clay army was directly defeated, which is really amazing!" said another mercenary.
"I told you that this was told over and over a month ago, but who of you knows what happened in Cassano? on the eve of the Battle of Mirror Lake?" said a bearded mercenary softly tapping his empty glass.
"Hey, Foster, you seem to have been at Cassano a month ago, tell me what happened?" Everyone was immediately attracted by the bearded mercenary, and a large crowd gathered around them at once.
"Well......" the bearded man tapped his empty glass again.
"I'll give you this cup!" The bar owner squeezed away the onlookers and put a large glass of ale in front of the bearded man: "Come on, I can be very curious, I heard that the three major killer organizations went together that night, I don't know what happened." ”
"Haha, you're really well-informed!" The bearded man suddenly showed joy on his face when he saw the ale, and he first complimented the bar owner who gave him the wine, and then continued: "If it weren't for me being in Cassano, I wouldn't believe it." The three killer organizations of Soul Eater, Blood Spirit, and Shadow, which are the strongest and most terrifying in the continent, have exhausted their elites, plus the sword saint Osverd of Mochizuki City, and Her Majesty Catherine, who is said to have reached the legendary realm, my God, this lineup is really shocking!"
"Wow, isn't that Iron Fist Castle a pile of ruins!"
"Yes, yes, there are so many strong people! Even if you kill God directly, it's enough!"
"Wrong!" The bearded man saw that everyone was talking, and he was very satisfied with the effect he had made, he shouted loudly, asked everyone to stop talking, and then said slowly: "On the contrary, the three major killer organizations are almost all wiped out, I heard that only a few of the most powerful masters have escaped, except for them, only the former queen Catherine and the Sword Saint of Mochizuki City can retreat in their entirety." ”
"Ah, a little Cassano has such a strong strength?"
"Didn't you say that the former queen had reached the legendary realm? Could it be that the ** master of the imperial capital, Victor, personally took action?"
"Also, also, didn't I hear that the lord of Cassano, Ryan, followed the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force to the prairie, why did he still leave such a powerful force? No wonder the Imperial Capital will also ally with Cassano!"
“......”
“......”
“......”
The whole bar became chaotic, and a man sitting alone in the corner tightened his cloak and slowly left the bar. It was already midnight, but the weather was still hot, and others would sweat even if they wore a single coat, but the man was tightly wrapped under a thick cloak.
The man walked out of the bar, first looking around, and after identifying the direction, he walked briskly out of town. Although some people feel strange about this man's behavior, they only feel strange, after all, this is the junction of the imperial capital and the forces of Free Heaven, and both sides ignore the situation here, almost using this place as some kind of buffer zone, so people here rarely ask about the behavior of others, because one accidentally may see a secret that he should not know, and then disappear inexplicably.
The man walked faster and faster, and soon moved away from the town and disappeared into the darkness of the night outside. After walking for about 30 minutes, the man arrived at his destination, the cemetery on the west side of the town. It is precisely because of the unusually chaotic law and order here that there are quite a lot of people who have died, and their bodies are usually thrown on this desolate hill, at most they will dig a shallow pit and bury them, anyway, there will be wolves to dig them out at night, so why bother.
At this time, in the mass grave on the hill, there were two stiff people desperately digging up the corpses, and beside them, there was another man standing with his hands tied, and the dim starlight shone on his face, barely recognizable Bailey's face, but most of his face had begun to rot and emitted a disgusting smell.
"Bailey, maybe it's time for our previous plan to be canceled!" The man from before walked up to Bailey, sat casually on a collapsed tombstone, and said in a sullen voice, he lifted his cloak a few times, revealing his face in the bleak starlight, but it was Maia who had fled from the imperial capital.
"Hmph, you indecisive fellow!" Bailey cursed in a low voice, and the two stiff guys beside him dragged out a corpse from under the ground, Bailey immediately walked over and took a closer look, and when he found that the body had only been buried in the last few days, and most of the corpse remained fairly intact, he smiled with satisfaction, and the smile touched the rotting wound on his face, which made people shudder.
"Move over there!" Bailey ordered the two stiff guys, Bailey was a thousand dissatisfied with the zombie in front of him who was forcibly resurrected by his evil magic, but he didn't dare to summon undead slaves on a large scale now, so he had to use it.
"How many did you find?" asked Susan in Maier's body.
"Three, the materials are almost enough. It will take me a few more hours to replace the rotten parts of my body so we can move on. Bailey replied in a very casual tone, "It's boring anyway, tell me what you two have heard." ”
"Okay. Maia followed Bere, to the place where he hid his body, a small cave under the hill, not very deep, but there were many trees outside, and she was not worried about being seen inside.
With a normal face, Bailey took out a complete set of equipment from his body, which he had paid a lot of money to customize, and of course the blacksmith who built it had been killed afterwards. As a necromancer, Bailey is free to modify his body from parts of other people's corpses, and Bailey's body has suffered great damage since falling into the orc-throwing cave, so he must often replace the rotten parts of his body with fresh corpses.
Bailey gently stroked the rotten part of his face with his left hand, and then gestured with his right hand on the corpse of a man who was only about 20 years old, as if considering how to choose materials, while he was doing this, Maia leaned his body against the stone wall of the cave, and said in a sullen voice: "Her Majesty Queen Catherine led the three major killer organizations to attack Cassano, but they were defeated, and it is said that except for a few limited masters, everyone else was wiped out. ”
