It was the time of the rising sun, and the horizon was covered with a thin patch of ochre and amber, like freshly extracted grape juice sprinkled in a pale ale. The light pierced the mist, casting a silvery light on the harbor, making ships large and small look like black-and-white silhouettes immersed in water.

Bradch exhaled slowly, and he exhaled so slowly that no one would hear him at all. He tried to clear the air out of his lungs so he could take in a big breath if he needed to act.

As the strongest samurai of the Salem tribe at one time, Bradch is well versed in the art of ambush - quiet as a rock, and when the time comes, turn into a violent wind, plus he and Sneied had a good relationship with Sneijder in the island world, so Quest arranged for him to work with a team of steampunk half-lich to "catch rats" in Beit City.

The so-called "rat hunting" is aimed at certain secrets that Hermtar may have planted in the past, and once they discover the emergence of factors that may deliberately cause riots, they will hunt them mercilessly.

Unlike the "interdimensional mercenaries" formed by the three ogre brothers, who are mainly responsible for killing summoned demons, Bradch and Snead are more in charge of demon minions who hide in the crowd.

Even if the other party is an upper-class nobleman of Medici, they will not hesitate, plus their figures are not as eye-catching as the three ogre brothers, so they are more suitable for some work in secret.

"Whether it's a person or a rat, the most desirable arrangement will inevitably cause accidents......"

Reciting a poem he had read not long ago, Sneijder, who was wrapped in a spacious burqa, shrugged his shoulders and let out a "crunch" sound that only happens when the gears snap:

"Even with careful planning, it's hard to fully deal with the demon's thoughts. Those guys who are extremely chaotic by nature will always make some 'moths' that people have to follow them to be flexible. ”

He pointed to the demonic kobold who was slaughtering near the port anchorage, "I thought there would be some decent demon servants, at least some nobles who were tempted to fall, who would have thought that there would only be one modified kobold. ”

"But he's doing a good job," Blatch replied, to which Sneijder was noncommittal, "it's time to do it—'even a single unextinguished spark in a campfire could burn up an entire oasis,' and we can't sit idly by and watch chaos grow." ”

In fact, steampunk half-lich is exactly what it means.

Once a drow lich, he was cursed by the Worm Tyrant and managed to escape by demoting himself to a half-lich. Plus more than 300 years of captivity in between. If it were possible, Sneijder would not let go of any opportunity to take revenge on the Demon Lord.

"Decree: Shock!"

With lightning speed, the steampunk half-lich suddenly unleashed a high-level teleportation, and arrived behind the demonic kobold who was slaughtering the Medici nobles who were waiting to board the ship, followed by a surprise legal spell.

However, to his great surprise, it seems that this seemingly ordinary demon servant is really quite difficult to deal with. The effect of the law spell only lasted for a breath or two before it forcibly broke free.

Not only that, but the fierce and abnormal demon kobold backhanded the dagger with sharp serrated teeth into Sneijder's heart.

If it were someone else, this inevitable close-range counter-kill would be fatal. However, after all, Sneijder's body is a high-end product designed by a certain goblin technology boss with full skill points, and the quality is still very guaranteed.

Although many key mechanical parts were destroyed at the same time due to the special force that erupted on the dagger, there were immediately prepared parts inside that were automatically reloaded, completing Snead's body functions.

"Damn it," the steampunk half-lich spewed a hot air stream from the exhaust vent behind the lich's head as if it were a whistle, "and like your master, you're some troublemaker." ”

The wide robe was lifted in an instant, and two tentacles with a fast-spinning saw wheel at the top suddenly stretched out, cutting at the demonic kobold at the tricky angle set by the program.

At the right time, the desert elf Brache also arrived.

Although he couldn't use teleportation spells casually like a half-lich, with the backlash of the sound spell on the ground, his attack was also summoned after two or three vertical jumps.

"Zha!"

The "sound of killing", which was not very loud, but could make the bearer's internal organs boil, reached the ears of the demon kobold, and the short and ferocious monster's movements immediately stopped.

Realizing that he was threatened with death, the demon kobold didn't think about it, so he made a false attack, turned around and fled.
