Wildfire City, Harbor District.

"Butcher! Brute! Executioner! I curse you, you are doomed to a dark hell, and the Lord of Heaven will throw your souls into a pot of oil and torment for thousands of years! ”

A woman was pushed to the ground, screaming hysterically in front of her.

In front of her, at a piled fire, her husband and children were being tied to the stake, and rising tongues of fire engulfed them, leaving only a pile of black wreckage that did not form human.

Ronan and Elena and Vano looked at the woman as they passed by.

Sensing their gaze, one of the two men standing beside the stake, dressed in delicate chain mail, spoke to them:

"The new mercenary group? Don't get me wrong, it was the father and son who blatantly violated the rules of our Storm Mercenary Regiment and tried to attack our members, which led to their burning of them. ”

The woman gritted her teeth and scolded him, "It's you, you bandits! You were the ones who broke into my house and robbed me of all my belongings, and my husband and son were brutally burned to death by you just trying to stop them! ”

"Hey, let's figure it out, we're the masters of this city now, and it's not a matter of course to take our own loot?"

When he heard the woman's scolding, he burst out laughing.

"Let's go, we're not in charge here." Ronan glanced at it and turned to leave.

Elena and Vano nodded.

It's just that they were just about to turn their heads, but their faces turned pale for a moment.

After the woman cried out weakly, the mercenary drew his sword from his waist and cut off her head, blood gushing out of the shut-in, forming a bright red fountain.

Witnessing the bloody scene made all three of them feel physiological nausea and the desire to vomit.

Elena covered her mouth and tried to say something, she could accept killing the enemies who resisted, but it was the first time she had seen innocent civilians slaughtered.

And from the blood stains that could not be washed off the street, she could imagine that this was far from the first time.

"Mercenaries, are they all like this?" Elena's chest kept heaving, trying to calm her mind.

"The same is true for the soldiers, to be precise, except that the mercenaries have a cleaner loot because they own a portion of their loot."

Ronan's mood didn't change much, after all, in Triumph City, after the collision between him and the church broke out in the middle of the lake, the casualties caused by the aftermath were also not light.

From here, continue on until you can already see the flowing Valan River.

"The port area, Whitefish Street, this is the area we need to defend next."

Ronan looked at the situation, Whitefish Street was almost built along the riverbank, with a one-meter-thick stone wall to cover it, next to the low-lying river beach, and the wide Valan River.

At this moment, many fishing boats, barrels and crates were stranded on the river beach.

Floating dead bodies, upside-down wine, and rotting and smelly fish and shrimp make the air quality particularly bad.

Ronan clapped his hands, waking the three people around him from the cruel images before.

"The next step is to find a place to stay and then count the people who are still living here and eliminate any threats they may have."

"Are we going to deal with the inhabitants like those mercenaries?" Elena stared at him.

"It's up to you, except for the commission paid to you at the beginning, all your rewards for the rest of the rest are calculated based on the loot you get."

Elena was unmoved, but the Vano couple behind her were a little silent.

Seeing that their mood was not right, Ronan was not wasting time, "Don't be entangled, don't you just don't want to rob civilians, they don't have much oil and water, and Whitefish Street is worth a shipping chamber of commerce." ”

"Let's go get there out of here."

The other three breathed a sigh of relief, and followed him to a tavern marked by a white fish and churning waves.

It is a three-storey house with an open tavern on the first and second floors and the headquarters of the Shipping Chamber on the third floor.

By this time the tavern had long since ceased to close, and the thickened wooden doors were firmly locked.

Ronan looked at Vano beside him.

At the signal, he stared intently at the door, carefully perceiving the situation behind him.

"There are a lot of people, about twenty to thirty, converging towards the center of the first floor." Vano reports to Ronan.

Ronan stepped forward, came to the door, and spoke:

"Area inventory, open the door in five seconds."

After five seconds passed, seeing that there was no movement inside, Ronan raised his leg and slammed it directly on the door.

Sawdust flew, and the furious force directly tore the fastened door lock, and the two wooden doors were pushed open to the rear, and the middle position was recessed inward.

As the door opened, Ronan was greeted by a rush of crossbow arrows.

Vanor and Miriam raised their shields and stood in front of them, fending off the crossbow bolts and rushing into the tavern.

In the spacious hall, twenty-five strong men had gathered at this moment, five of them were armed with crossbow arrows, while the other fifteen were armed with swords, scimitars, maces and other weapons.

"Damn intruders, kill them!" One of the people in the crowd roared angrily and rushed over with his sword raised.

Elena pulled out a dagger from her waist and strode to the front.

Blazing flaming swords erupted from the dagger, the hot current and dazzling light giving the eyes of their foes a look of panic.

Especially when the charging person was easily cut in two by her, the blood at the fracture was evaporated by the high temperature before it could gush out, turning into a charred brown.

"The blood of the lion king? Damn, distance yourself! The leader of the rest looked at her in disbelief and hurriedly told his men to retreat.

In the face of such high temperatures, the armor on their bodies did not play any protective role at all.

Seeing that Elena had already rushed forward and behind, Vano and Miriam also raised their swords and began to pin down the enemies trying to shoot crossbows on both sides.

Thanks to the physical improvement brought about by the awakening, they are enough to suppress ordinary soldiers when they are fully armed.

Ronan paid attention to their situation, and after a moment confirmed that there was no problem, he walked upstairs.

Elena's ability is enough to deal with the enemies here, which is just the right time for her to increase her experience in using her ability to fight.

Ronan, who came to the second floor, saw a swollen merchant man, who was constantly wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, and the accumulated folds kept rolling.

"My lord, misunderstanding, the soldiers below are all soldiers who escaped from the Flame Castle, they have occupied my house, and even want to do something to you, it is really a crime to die."

Seeing Ronan coming up, he was startled and hurriedly came over to explain.
