Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sophistry
The dragon hunter's sneak attack failed under the blow of the rain of bullets.
All the dragon hunters who did not die were captured alive, and the remaining injured and not dead were also treated, which was much to the surprise of the silver dragon.
"Why save them?" The dragon girl protested dissatisfiedly, "I don't mind killing them with my own hands."
As she spoke, her hands had taken on a strange shape of hooked claws, somewhat similar to those of dragons.
It seems that some of the racial traits are still quite intact after the transformation, and maybe there are more skills that have not been brought out, Vincent is not uninterested, but still expects those not to be displayed when she is an enemy.
Killing people is what demons are good at, but sometimes it's because of this that they have to break tradition and path dependence.
If you don't kill it, you have to get more value than you kill.
"Our clan needs to evaluate the lethality of weapons, and we can't let samples hang up so easily." Vincent's explanation is also reasonable, "As for the subsequent disposition, it must be carried out in accordance with the laws of the territory, after all, our territory is a place that pays attention to the rule of law."
No amount of experimentation on animals is as good as testing on the battlefield, and for lichs and necromancers who like to figure out the structure of their bodies, it's a stressful job.
If necessary, it's not impossible to summon it as a zombie and fight another wave......
Although it is not impossible for those who are dead to dig out of their brains, the living ones are definitely more useful.
"Can Yu think that they deserve to be put to death for their crimes, and Yu also served as an executioner for you?" Yinlong was not satisfied with this result, and muttered, "Besides, the law is not up to you."
"Illegal entry, poaching, assault on the army, destruction of public property, theft of property, murder ......" Vincent began to count the sins of the dragon hunters, and finally said regretfully, "Even if it is a fair sentence, it seems to be a capital crime......
"In particular, when a foreigner commits a crime, it is not an internal conflict among the people, but it can be directly regarded as a sabotage act of spies." Vincent muttered to himself, then turned to the dragon hunters and asked, "Say, are you spies sent by Herodes?"
The dragon hunters next to them were trembling when they heard this, they were all lawless outlaws, and they knew the possible dangers of dragon hunting, but it was the first time they had fallen into the hands of demons.
No one dared to admit that he was a spy for the kingdom of Herodes, and everyone knew that the Primorsky Territory had fought a border war with Prince Herod's cronies, although this matter was deliberately downplayed after the Herodians broke the bank, but the relationship between the two sides is currently hostile.
Even if he was really born in the kingdom of Herodes, the dragon hunters did not dare to say it.
The horror of the demon race is well known to everyone on the mainland, and you don't need to make up for it, just know the severity of the consequences if you have studied history a little.
For Vincent, the dragon hunter has the intention of seeing the wealth first, and he will plan later, leaving a few people as witnesses, and it is still necessary to collect information, especially the owners and customers behind this group of people, they must be investigated clearly.
Judging from the weapons and equipment seized, the dragon hunters still have a lot of good goods on them, and if there is no one to support them, buying those things out of their own pockets will definitely bankrupt the nobles.
Just the kind of magic arrow that can penetrate the armor, even if the mark on it is deliberately erased, has been confirmed by La Niña to be something that flows from the magic high courtyard, and it is also a new product, which is not sold through a special magic item store, and even belongs to the inner model.
The spells on the magic arrows are optimized for dragon hunting, and if they hadn't been stunned by the merciful machine gun this time, or if the dragon hadn't had time to transform, I'm afraid the silver dragon would have suffered a lot of damage.
However, if this kind of thing is only used to hunt dragons, it will be a headache if it is used on the battlefield or other despicable purposes.
For the one-eyed leader, Vincent still didn't let him die directly, but asked the little witch Prani to give him a little life, and the information that people of this level can provide is definitely different from ordinary little minions.
"Who are you?" Vincent asked, "They say you're the leader?"
"Venerable lord, I'm Levi, the leader of the Southern Hunting Regiment, and this is
I don't dare to hide it," the leader simply reported to his home, "There seems to be a misunderstanding today, there is no dragon here, our intelligence is wrong......
Faced with a flattering and humble dragon hunter leader, Vincent certainly wouldn't believe his nonsense, if the dragon hunters could even get their goals wrong, how could such a stupid organization fall in love with dragons and kill them for thousands of years without dying?
"Misunderstanding? My skeleton soldiers have lost more than two hundred, and the lich has also lost seven or eight of them, is it because of a misunderstanding?" Vincent was furious, grabbed the leader and rebuked, "Say, did the royal family of Herodes and the court magicians instigate you to provoke a war with our people?"
The loss of skeletons is indeed as Vincent said, but the situation of the lich is still slightly better, because in anticipation of the possibility of something happening recently, Vincent asked the lich who commanded the transportation to wear the special armor made of black bamboo and demon spider silk, and sure enough, the lich was well protected.
The magic arrow dragon hunter specializes in mediocre composite armor, so the actual loss is not as great as Vincent said, but the dragon hunter himself knows the effect of this raid.
"No, my lordship, it's all our own decision," the leader shook his head and quibbled, "We all came to the customer after the dragon hunt."
"Who's that patron?" Who are you going to sell the stolen goods this time?" Vincent pulled the subject back again, "Is it the royal family of Herod and the Magus of the court?"
It seems that this demon lord is holding on to the Herodes, and the leader is secretly complaining in his heart, of course he knows the grudge between the kingdom and this lord, but the trouble is that Vincent is not blaming the trouble out of thin air, but beating it crookedly.
This time, the patron happens to be the Magister of the Herodes, and if the demons know about it, they themselves don't know how to die.
But the big customer is not easy to mess with......
"Your Excellency, thank you for saving me, but we dragon hunters will never betray our customers, old or new," the leader continued to stiffen his mouth when he was saved, "let me go, you can get a large ransom......
"Huh...... You're not mistaken, right? That's more ransom than the dragon gave me?" Vincent sneered, "You only have the information left in your head to save your life, and you really expect the ransom to save you?"
"We dragon hunters are tough guys who keep our promises, and we won't say anything about it," the leader said stubbornly, "even if we are burned to death by dragons, we will not be afraid."
"In that case, let him burn him," two puffs of smoke erupted from the silver dragon's nostrils, "You haven't seen the dragon fire after the transformation, have you?"
Vincent reached out to stop the enraged dragon, he didn't want to see the poacher being grilled so soon.
"Don't waste precious dragon fire," Vincent said to his men, "take them to the blast furnace and see what the real flame looks like."
That's right, Vincent's new blast furnace has been completed.
