Chapter 464: The Organization Behind the Blood Scythe
I believe that every warrior who has experienced the war against the beastmen will never forget the indelible scene on the battlefield in their hearts, a little guy who came out of nowhere performed the terrifying scene of killing the first mammoth beast with his own strength, which is the key point in the reversal of the war, and before the end of the war, the guy who jumped off the griffin once again used unpredictable means to stop the spiritual offensive of the four Viru spirit masters, since then, people know that this little guy is called Duan Lie, from the Tianfeng Empire, he became the second grand duke in the empire with hereditary qualifications after the imperial award ceremony, and is the only one in the entire empire to identify the Grand Master.
In that war full of crises and variables, and finally favored by the god of luck, Eben was a very ordinary member, but all the people of the Silver Knights who participated in that battle could not forget the magical master called Duan Lie, who fundamentally turned the situation around the war with great disparity in strength, and it was he who appeared in front of the West Hammer Tower at the last moment with the blessing of war, so that 30,000 elite warriors had immortal power.
Eben certainly won't forget the moment when they followed the Celestial Wind Legion back to Arran, where only one man was favored by Eldridge VI, and upon their return to the Los Empire, the Silver Knights recited the battle as a myth that continues to this day.
Eben never thought that he would have a chance to see Duan Lie again, so when he saw that face full of murderous aura, his little heart jumped twice without hesitation.
"Is that you?" exclaimed Eben, and hurriedly beckoned his retinue and guards to dismount, "all down, all down." ”
As he spoke, he ran over quickly: "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, my name is Eben, and it is a pleasure to see you again. Eben ran over enthusiastically and excitedly to shake hands with Duan Lie, making Duan Lie stunned.
"Do you know me?" Of course, Duan Lie had never seen Eben, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize Eben from among the 100,000 people.
Eben was emotional: "Of course, Your Excellency, I am a member of the Silver Knights, and we fought side by side when we were in the Westhammer Fortress. ”
"Oh......" Duan Lie didn't have much impression in his mind, but he still knew when it came to the Silver Knights, and shook hands with Eben warmly, Duan Lie remembered that he had killed someone in a rage just now, looking at the blood field in the circle, Duan Lie shook his head a little embarrassed.
To be honest, the real purpose of his visit to the Los Empire this time was to move to the plane, and he didn't plan to show off from the beginning, if it wasn't for the Blood Scythe Thieves Group to go too far, he would probably let them go.
It's a pity that things didn't go according to Duan Lie's thinking, but the cruelty of the thieves group touched his bottom line, and he didn't control the strength of the gravity suppression force field when his mind was hot, and he killed more than 100 people at once, and it was so bloody, if this was spread out, he wouldn't be famous.
Fortunately, Eben recognized himself, and Duan Lie turned his mind and asked, "That Eben, let's come and talk." ”
Eben had already worshiped Duan Lie as a god in his heart, and hurriedly nodded and followed: "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, what do you command." ”
"Uh...... Don't dare to say anything, you want to know, are you responsible for the security of the northern outer city?"
Eben replied honestly: "Actually, it doesn't count, the security here is the responsibility of the escort team, but the Imperial Guardian has limited capabilities, so the Silver Knights were specially appointed to assist, I rushed over after receiving the news, but I didn't expect His Excellency the Grand Duke to clean them all up alone." He said excitedly, and even regretted that he didn't arrive at the first time to witness the demeanor of His Excellency the Grand Duke again.
Duan Lie looked around: "Then what are you going to do about the matter here?" ”
Eben patted his chest and said: "Of course, it is a truthful report, His Excellency the Grand Duke sent an envoy to this country to block the looting of the thieves for the residents of the outer city, even if His Excellency the Grand Duke is a member of the Heavenly Wind Empire, he should be praised and praised." ”
Duan Lie was afraid of this, so he hurriedly grabbed Eben and whispered, "Eben, can we discuss it, don't report the matter here truthfully." ”
Eben was stunned for a moment, it is really rare for someone to have merit and not be invited, you know, just with this merit, Duan Lie will at least get a rather large bonus, Eben was puzzled: "Why?"
Duan Lie didn't know what to say, so after thinking about it, he found an excuse and said casually: "Actually, I'm here to find an enemy, let's put it this way, I don't want him to know that I'm here, in case he escapes after getting the news, so you must try to keep a low profile when you can keep a low profile, can you understand when I say that?"
"That's right. Eben's expression was slightly sluggish, and he immediately became excited, and gossiped: "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, I understand, you want to investigate secretly, okay, no problem, I will find a way to report what happened today, by the way, does Your Excellency the Grand Duke need help? Although I am only a knight squad leader, I have many friends and mercenary groups in the Imperial Military Department." ”
Hearing this, Duan Lie didn't know what to say, he could only say that Eben was too enthusiastic.
Duan Lie was sweating, it takes a lot of lies to tell a lie, he still understands this truth, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, he can only say: "No, no, don't use it for the time being, that person is very cunning, I am not sure if he is in the Los Empire now, if there is a need, I will send someone to find you for help." ”
Eben nodded vigorously, knowing that it was a great honor to be able to talk to a Grand Duke, Eben said: "Okay, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, I am now in the Ministry of City Defense, if you need it, you can go directly to me and mention my name, hehe, it is still that sentence, it is easy to see you again, Your Excellency." ”
Duan Lie was happy, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then thank you." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Eben nodded and said, suddenly changed his serious expression, turned back to the knights behind him and shouted: "Hey, everyone listen, the Blood Scythe Mercenary Group has been defeated, everyone clean up the battlefield, capture the non-dead and interrogate them, damn the thieves, this time you must ask about their lair." ”
At this time, a relatively clever little knight ran over and glanced at Duan Lie with jealous eyes.
The scene was so bloody, a fool could guess that Duan Lie did it, this kind of person's methods were too vicious and terrifying, he didn't dare to face Duan Lie's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Team...... Captain, what do we say? ”
Eben slapped the little knight and reprimanded, "Idiot, I won't say this." After going back, everyone spoke in unison, and said that the thieves group had encountered a mercenary group, and with the help of the villagers, the thieves group was surrounded and suppressed, and the captain of this knight arrived with people to end this nightmare, so let's say so. ”
"Then ......" The little knight was about to say something, but Eben glared at him and swallowed back the words stiffly.
Hundreds of knights began to clean the battlefield, but as soon as they stepped into the bloody field, they covered their mouths one by one, the smell was too bad, and the blood was not good, many thieves' corpses were incomplete, they could only use their swords to carry the stump and severed arms, and it took a lot of effort to clean up the scene, and this was done with the help of some brave villagers.
Eben left with the team after cleaning up the battlefield, and at this time, Duan Lie returned to the crowd.
Although the previous scene was quite bloody, Duan Lie was still the one who saved them after all, and although the local residents were not rejoicing, they were still grateful to Duan Lie.
Old Ward is a person who understands, and when he just walked over, he secretly heard the conversation between Duan Lie and Eben, and immediately took Tyr and Leo to the people to advise them, so that everyone could say that it was the mercenary group and the thief group that rescued the residents of the city.
These residents have been looted by the thieves all year round, and they have long hated those illegal people who do all kinds of evil, and they almost understood that Duan Lie did not want to unite with the thieves, so they sealed their mouths one by one with a feeling of nostalgia.
Duan Lie, who drove away the thieves, was not very happy, in fact, he was too fierce this time, but if he didn't do this, the thieves group would not give up, so Duan Lie knew that he had done nothing wrong.
Nick hadn't come back yet, Duan Lie was in no mood to sleep, the residents outside were cleaning up the bodies of the dead residents, their expressions were very low, Duan Lie called Old Ward, Tyr, and Leo into the house alone to learn the inside story of the Blood Scythe Mercenary Group.
"Uncle Ward, do you know about the Blood Scythe Mercenary Regiment?"
Ward now knows that the young man in front of him is not simple, have you ever seen someone turn two hundred or so people into meat foam at once?
Anyway, old Ward hadn't seen him for most of his life.
Ward said: "I know too well, this blood sickle thief group is the villain here, they were originally a small thief group, but then I heard that it was absorbed by a large thief group, so it is getting more and more excessive, they often go to the northern outer city to loot, rob things, rob women, and they have never done anything good, everyone wants them to die." ”
Duan Lie knocked on the table, the amount of information in Old Ward's words was very large, if the Blood Scythe Thieves Group only had this weight, he would not be too worried, but Old Ward revealed to him a very important news, it seems that there is a more powerful force behind this thief group.
"Do you know the name of that bandof thieves, or who is their leader?"
The three old men looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, as if they didn't know.
Duan Lie sighed, if he knew the details of that force, he would have taken some precautions, but it didn't seem so easy now.
In that case, let's stop it.
