Chapter 401: Combination of Interests
readx;
It didn't take much effort at all, Han Shuo spied on the whole story through the Xuan Demon, and targeted the attack on Trunks and the Soul Slayer Mercenary Group, the mediator was Florida of the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group, and the participants were not only the Monro family, but also Laureta of the Garo Mercenary Group.

There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests, this sentence clarifies the essence!
When Lauretta and Florida were competing with each other, Han Shuo and Trunks once stood with Lauretta, and on the night when Laureta was besieged by the four forces in the small valley, Han Shuo helped Loretta get out alive.
Since that time, the Garo Mercenary Group and the Soul Slayer Mercenary Group have been closely related, Loretta and Trunks have cooperated many times, and in the eyes of outsiders, the Garo Mercenary Group and the Soul Slayer Mercenary Group seem to have formed an alliance.
However, with the rapid development of the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group, coupled with Han Shuo's momentum in the Lancelot Empire, the fact that the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group had become the fifth largest force in the Celestial Valley. In recent times, as Trunks killed the butcher Gustav, the people in the Valley of Yaoyao were panicked for a while, and the two people who were the most hopeful in the Valley of Yao, Loretta and Florida, finally realized that something was wrong.
When one's own interests are at stake, friendships and covenants are as fragile as a politician's oath and can be easily torn apart. Florida and Lauretta hit it off, and since Han Shuo seriously injured Adam Monroe last time, he was more than happy to join in this long-planned vicious incident.
As a result, Trunks returned from Janet's place, and was ambushed by Lauretta and others on the way, some of the mercenaries around Trunks were all wiped out, and Trunks himself was captured alive and imprisoned in the belly of that hidden cave, guarded by several major forces.
The reason why Trunks was not killed immediately was because Loretta and the others coveted the wealth of the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group, and on the other hand, they were not very clear about the detailed layout of the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group's lair, and they planned to ask Trunks before making a move, so that they could also reduce their own damage.
However, Trunks' tenacity was somewhat unexpected, and under layers of torture to extract confessions, Trunks did not confide in his true feelings as they wished, so he was tortured and bruised all over his body, dying.
Now, in a mansion where the Negara Mercenary Group is stationed in Yao Valley, the three forces are discussing how to attack the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group, the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group has existed in Yue Yao Valley for so long, and the real location of Trunks is already clear even if not to mention Laureta and the others.
If it weren't for the fact that they knew that the terrain of that place was indeed too treacherous, they would have worked together to wipe out the Soul Extermination Mercenary Group a long time ago, and they would definitely not have waited until now to do so. In the past few days, the three parties have sent people to constantly haunt that area, and they have roughly seen the defense power on the bright side, and they are ready to start in the next few days.
After several battles in the Yao Valley, the strength of all parties has been damaged to a great extent, since the Light Magister Ferguson was killed by Han Shuo, the relationship between Florida and the Church of Light has been a little weak, but because there is also a Mithril mine here, the relationship between Florida and the Church of Light has stabilized.
Due to Han Shuo's existence, Edwin, the dark archmage of the Scourge Church, naturally would not go against the Soul Slayer Mercenary Group, and the Edwin and Scourge Church, which originally cooperated with Lauretta, gradually distanced themselves from Lauretta, but Edwin approached Trunks several times, but Trunks rejected his offer to help.
After Trunks disappeared this time, Edwin of the Cataclysmic Church here has indeed made some efforts and has found out the general truth of the matter, but here the three major forces of Yaogu have joined forces, the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group and the Church of Light have helped, even if Edwin understands the ins and outs, he does not dare to act rashly.
The twelve Xuan Demons dispersed, and one by one the pictures were reflected in Han Shuo's mind through the sight of the Xuan Demons, and Han Shuo, whose brain domain had been magically expanded, methodically took those pictures into his heart, analyzed the content and actions of their speeches, and slowly spied out the truth.
Even with it, he also found out the true location of Trunks' captivity!
The black dragon Gilbert stopped at the height of the valley, the white clouds floated around the black dragon Gilbert, and the brilliant light above his head fell into the valley, and the body of the black dragon Gilbert was also illuminated in a pitch black and shining.
Sitting cross-legged on Gilbert's back, which was much wider than a carriage, Han Shuo, who had been closing his eyes to get information, suddenly slowly opened his bright eyes, and glanced at the lush trees under his feet, Han Shuo's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"I have to get the matter done in Yue Yao Valley as soon as possible, I can't just stop at Yue Yao Valley!" Han Shuo muttered.
The affairs of Brettel City, the affairs of the Seven Duchies, the struggle for power within the empire, the constant annoyance of the Church of Light, the secret of the skeleton staff in the graveyard of death, the exploration of magic and undead magic, and the jealousy between several women, this series of things were placed in front of Han Shuo, there were too many things waiting for Han Shuo to deal with, and Han Shuo had a feeling that he was helpless.
Han Shuo, whose vision is getting higher and higher, is directly proportional to the growth of his strength, and now looking at the various chaos in Yue Yao Valley, Han Shuo already feels that it will not be so difficult to deal with the disturbances in Yue Yao Valley, this time since Trunks was captured, Han Shuo has the idea of solving the matter of Yue Yao Valley one at a time.
"Let's go, go down!" Han Shuo commanded the black dragon Gilbert to point out the correct position for Gilbert.
"Master, have you found Trunks?" Gilbert couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Han Shuo closing his eyes in the air and being silent for a long time, and suddenly pointed out a location for him.
"Of course, where we're going now, it's the direction where Trunks was captured. Han Shuo replied, and then urged: "Okay, hurry up!"
In the depths of the dark and dim cave, the thunder magister Asa is still happy to torture Trunks, who was roaring wildly, was burned by a strong electric current through his body, and Asa also burned with some red-hot irons, ** and his soul could not bear it anymore and passed out.
However, Asa obviously did not mean to let Trunks go, and whenever Trunks passed out, Asa would definitely brutally wake Trunks up again. After a few times, Trunks was dying and no longer had the power to roar, but a pair of godless eyes with bitter hatred, calmly looking at Asa, which contained a light that made Asa's heart tremble.
When a red-hot soldering iron fell on Trunks' chest again, Trunks just opened his mouth in pain, and he couldn't even make a moan, but his face revealed a terrible hideousness, like a demon coming out of the depths of hell.
"Lord Asa, stop, or he'll die at once!" a swordsman named Gilira, frowning, walked over and reached out to forcibly snatch the soldering iron that Asa was holding onto.
Asa glared at Qilula with a gloomy face, and said unhappily: "Qilula, your affairs are not in the hands of your Monroe family!"
"I'm not interested in you, but Trunks' life is to be kept, it's a decision agreed by all three leaders. No matter how you torture Trunks, as long as he doesn't die, I don't have a problem, but if you kill him, we will all bear the crime of dereliction of duty, and you don't want to trouble us!" Qilula was not afraid of Asa, and put the soldering iron in its place, and said coldly.
Some of the scars on Trunks' body in front of him have rotted, and there are pus flowing out of his chest and neck, Qiila stood so close and smelled a disgusting smell, couldn't help but cover his lips, and waved his hand in disgust: "Damn, you really suffered it! Forget it today, you can play again when he is better, otherwise everyone will have opinions!"
When Qilula spoke like this, he was already impatiently walking into the distance, and several people from the Garo mercenary group looked at Asa with displeasure at this time, and one of them replied: "Asa, your Florida has agreed, you better settle down and don't break the rules." ”
The other people in the cave were all displeased, even the own people of the rainbow sickle mercenary group who followed Asa to guard this place also persuaded Asa not to have nothing to do, and after thinking for a while, Asa looked back at Trunks, who was dying and fainted again, and felt a little relieved.
So many people dissuaded him, but Asa did not dare to act rashly, lest he provoke public outrage, so he gave up in a foolish manner. He also understood a little in his heart, because of the death of his father Gustav, his position in the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group was no longer so secure, but the hateful thing was that as soon as his father butcher Gustav died, that group of robbers split up and did not sell his account at all, otherwise he would not have to continue to stay in the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group to be angry.
While Asa was thinking about it, a heavy voice came from outside the cave, and the footsteps were very soft at first, but slowly became clearer and clearer.
"Who!" Asa was upset in his heart, and scolded loudly: "When you come, don't you know your name!"
The footsteps were still approaching, but the visitor did not answer, and Asa couldn't help but curse again: "Fuck, are you dumb!
"Something is not quite right!" Qilula of the Monroe family frowned, and the long sword in his hand suddenly reached his palm, and said to the people of the Monroe family beside him.
"This place is the only one we know, what's wrong? Suspicious, aren't all those guys here delivering food now? They must have come!" Asa took the opportunity to say a couple of words to Qira.
The footsteps are still approaching, and each step implies a strange rhythm, giving people a sense of fear, as if a demon is slowly floating in, ready to cut the giant mouth of Sensen into your neck in the dark.
Qiila glanced at Asa with disdain, and said in her heart that this robber son is really not a regular mercenary, whether it is the Garo mercenary group, the rainbow sickle mercenary group or the Monroe family, it is a disciplined group, and there will never be such a behavior of coming over without signaling.
"Brothers, be careful, the situation is a little weird!" Qilula clenched the long sword in his hand tightly and ordered the people on his side.
Some experienced mercenaries of the Garo mercenary group over there, without Qilula's orders, had already gathered together cautiously, and even the people of the rainbow sickle mercenary group on Asa's side were clearly separated from the other two forces.
At this critical time, the tripartite forces that are united because of their interests will only trust the people around them, rather than this kind of fake allies who reluctantly cooperate because of interests. Yaogu is such a place, they were and will be enemies, but now they stand together unharmed, intending to face a common enemy.
"Step on ...... The footsteps of "stepping on the ......" are getting closer and clearer!
Qiila glanced at the fire type senior mage beside him and said, "Put a flame in!"
The high-level mage of the fire system, after listening to Qilula's command, a passage where the fire snake snaked and swam, and the gray-brown stone wall was clearly visible as the fire snake swam past.
At this time, even Asa knew that something was wrong, and together with Qilula, he carefully looked at the only hole that came over, and the people on the side of the Garo mercenary group had a tacit understanding to form a phalanx, ready to deal with the attack of the incoming people at any time.
Just when everyone's eyes and attention were focused on the only hole they had come to, a series of crisp voices suddenly came from the position of Trunks behind them, and everyone who had been staring at the entrance of the cave with their eyes shining heard such a loud noise in the silence, and they all turned around and looked back in unison.
Right next to Trunks, Han Shuo, who was holding the Demon Slaying Blade in his hand, was cutting off the iron chains on Trunks' body one by one with a gloomy face, and those high-tenacious iron chains mixed with the latest mined Mithril were shattered and broken in a crisp sound, and the slender iron chains that Trunks' pipa bones penetrated into were also carefully taken out by him.
Qilula and his group who turned around suddenly, no one knew how Han Shuo came in, there was only one passage in the belly of the mountain here, and all their attention just now was focused on that area, but they really didn't see anyone coming out of it!
However, Han Shuo just suddenly appeared out of thin air, as if he was standing there originally, it was so abrupt and weird, giving people an extremely awkward feeling.
Seeing Han Shuo with a gloomy face appear, for a moment, all the people guarding Trunks in the cave trembled in their hearts, seeing that Han Shuo didn't look at them directly, but just focused on helping Trunks untie with a gloomy face, for some reason, an emotion called cold couldn't help but gradually breed in the bottom of his heart.
Han Shuo's people are not in Yao Valley, but there are legends about him in Yao Valley, and the people in this mountain, including Aza Qira, are all masters of the three forces, not only do they all know Han Shuo, but there are also a few of them who have seen Han Shuo's methods with their own eyes.
Now, in the middle of this narrow mountain, Han Shuo appeared silently like a ghost, just helping Trunks untie with a gloomy face and not saying a word, and the silent depression in the dark was as thick as a mountain, giving several people a sense of panicked heart palpitations.
Asa's lips were a little dry, he had had a hand cut off by Han Shuo, and the last time he had seen Han Shuo bombard Ferguson in the valley, he had seen every heavy blow that Han Shuo had struck at Ferguson. After Han Shuo left, his legend did not disappear, and it was spread in the Valley of Yue Yao through the mercenaries who traveled from south to north, especially the deeds of Han Shuo who killed the dragon knight Celt were even more dramatically exaggerated.
Asa knew the relationship between Han Shuo and Trunks in his heart, watching Han Shuo's gloomy face as he touched the restraints for his dying, the coldness suddenly spread to Asa's whole body, and Asa, whose brain was spinning rapidly, just looked at Han Shuo for more than ten seconds, and suddenly made an extremely wise decision.
"Whoosh!", Asa was the first to get out of the cave, and he actually made a move to flee without a fight!
"Damn it!" Qiula glanced back, scolded Asa for his shameless cowardice, and then became a little timid, tightened the long sword in his hand, looked at the indifferent Han Shuo, and pretended to be strong and said: "Count Brian, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can't control the affairs of our Yaogu, we won't stop you if you leave now, otherwise ......"
"Ah, Asa, you, why are you back again?" Before Gilula could finish speaking, the fire magister beside him suddenly screamed in surprise.
Qiila was stunned, and did not blame this subordinate for interrupting his threatening words that he had finally mustered up courage, and looked back, only to see Asa's bitter face, and sure enough, he retreated step by step.
The footsteps in the "...... step" passage are still there, falling on the hearts of several people, but it is getting heavier and heavier!
