Well, I'm sorry, it seems to be a bit messy in the back, and I don't have enough overtime today, so please let me sort it out......
Waiting outside Burgundy, the knights named Wolf's Paw numbered about six hundred, and their opponents were ...... Yes, they were nothing more than twenty minotaurs, and two priests, a druid and a swordsman, and it would be more appropriate to call them enemies than enemies.
Slowly open. And then "Hum." With a thud, he let go of the bowstring, sending a cluster of black arrows flying high into the distance.
Then there were intermittent, but heart-rending terrible screams.
Zaire struggled to raise his head and turned his gaze, a stinging pain in his heart bursting with the action. Let him howl involuntarily...... And this pain also awakened all his memories from a moment ago.
Grinning, he took in a breath of cold air and found that the form of the city wall had not changed much in fact - it was still a few hundred soldiers who had pinned down a similar number of others in the corners of the battlements.
It's just that now they are cowering in the corner of the city wall, the wolf claws who flaunted their might a moment ago, and their current situation has been completely reversed from each other, or even worse, and their bodies are only thin coarse cloth short robes, trembling, and standing in the corner.
It's just a moment...... Victory is so close, it seems to be within reach, and it is obviously close at hand, but why did it come to naught in the blink of an eye, or was it an unrealistic expectation in the first place?
Zaire blinked vigorously, how he wished it was just a ridiculous dream...... However, the broken leg that was pressed under the hammer, the cold numbness and tingling, but it was a merciless reminder to him that this nightmare would never wake up.
And when his gaze extended outward, through a gap in the city wall, he could barely see the last ...... of more than half of his subordinates Chased by the minotaur, surrounded, and impacted into a ball, and then the black arrows rained down on their heads, watering bloody flowers of darkness.
The sunset on the horizon is like blood, rendering all the qiē weird and scarlet.
"I ...... I, Lord Edward, I ......"
The thousand people turned their heads, just in time to meet the young city lord, the two gazes projected from the shadow of the hood, the indifference and cruelty directly into his bone marrow, almost frozen all his will, opened his mouth, his lips that were chapped and pale from blood loss opened and closed a few times, but he couldn't make any decent sound, all he could do was to hear the young man's indifferent orders.
Like a demonic sneer......
"These people, there is no need to stay...... Along with the corpses, find some wood to nail into a shelf and hang it for me, and as for the leader, Baroque, his thing is still in your hands, right? You can try to see if the effect is as miraculous as he says......
......
Moaning, screaming frantically, kicking his legs incessantly, as if not a single muscle in his body was shaking or squirming, and finally, with the creak of broken bones, two eyeballs finally popped out of their sockets!
Once again, there was an eerie silence on the battlefield.
Edward turned slightly, ignoring the last of the Thousand Elders who had struggled to find their last vitality under the strange torture instruments. Instead, turn your gaze behind you.
The woman in the black burqa stood at the foot of the city wall, and the woman belonging to the national mage stood there indifferently, watching the brutal killing in front of her, but she did not have the slightest interest in stopping it......
Anna Sue and several priests of the Dark Lady standing behind her had already clenched their ears tightly and closed their eyes. Even vomiting...... In fact, even those city guards are mostly like this at the moment.
And the woman's gaze fell on the human who had already been twisted away, blindly calm, even interesting. It was as if a qiē was nothing more than a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.
"Your Excellency Edward, I am Rose Blake, a high-ranking mage of the Kingdom Romante City Guards. When the victim's long, high-pitched howl came to an abrupt end. She nodded slightly: "We are going to build a teleportation circle in your territory and directly connect to the kingdom's teleportation network, which is another favor given to you by His Majesty the King." Also ......"
"What's the matter?" Edward raised an eyebrow, interrupting her nonchalantly.
This woman was not actually a stranger to him, but the other party had never left any good impression in his memory, and this time he was directly involved in the attack on his territory - although when he returned to the territory, the war had already ended, but for a qualified psychic mancer, as long as there was an eyewitness, then it was not much different from what he saw with his own eyes.
In fact, Edward had no intention of purging her as well. He wouldn't mind making his reputation a little colder if he could.
However, in this country, mages are still different from ordinary knights, especially the national mages - they are the core of the king's power, and they are called the cornerstone of Tumenis's rule along with the Tulip Guard. This woman named Rose Black is especially outstanding, and may even have the attainment of opening her real name, such a talent, the importance of such a talent to the entire country is not comparable to that of a second-rate knight order.
"We are going to build a teleportation circle in your realm and connect directly to the kingdom's teleportation network, which is another favor from His Majesty. Thank you for your cooperation. The female mage repeated verbatim what she had just said. The voice was equally cold, as if there was no trace of emotion.
Teleportation Circle?
"Thank you for your grace. Edward's brow furrowed again.
In fact, he could guess at once what the King's Majesty was up to—the teleportation circle was one of the greatest achievements of magic in this world. While it can't be compared to the permanent space-time rifts of the Arcane Era, it's a minor problem of teleporting with an hourglass scale or teleporting with an hourglass time.
Although it was expensive, once the construction was successful, the disadvantage of distance could be completely ignored - in just one day, with the help of the roads around Burgundy, the direct legion of His Majesty could penetrate the heart of the territory of the Duke of Black Hawk, which was no longer a matter for the cordon to monitor.
"Then, Lord Vincent, if you accept this gift, then we are about to begin our work to open a place in your central square where you can build a circle. Let's ......" the female mage nodded slightly. However, the young lord unceremoniously interrupted her at this time:
"There's no need, I'll open up a site outside the city, please build the circle there!"
"What did you say?" the female mage's expression finally changed slightly.
"There's nothing strange about it, and there's no rule that the teleportation array must be in the city, okay, so be it. The young city lord snorted coldly, waved his hand, and disappeared into a halo of light.
......
"What a stupid and unlucky bunch of idiots who have come to his territory to make trouble. It's just a time like this......" Miss Half-Elf sneered: "Elena's sister has already upset him enough...... The poor fellow, as he really followed the stupid leader, could only end up unlucky. ”
"That Elena...... Who is it? To Lord Edward, she ...... So important?" asked Priestess Drow retracting her gaze, and after a brief pause.
"Who......" Lisa lowered her gaze, and her voice was like a sigh, "Probably, it should be Edward's lover, no, more important than that...... Forget it, it is impossible for you drow to understand this kind of existence, there is no need to ask. ”
Love?
Drow shook his head. It was a strange word to her...... But she is not ignorant - it is nothing more than a mating for the sake of reproduction, and although humans give them some high-sounding reasons for their behavior, the ultimate goal is only to select more powerful individuals to make their offspring more competitive.
"That, Edward...... I know you want to give them a warning, but it's your country's army. Even if you don't care what Rudolph is, your king, will you sit idly by?"
When Edward returned to the Magic Tower. In his own room, Anna Sui, who had left the city first, was already waiting—as if accustomed to brewing a pot of fragrant rose tea, and watching the young lord sit down in his seat. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but whisper.
"It's rare...... You're worried about that?"
The girl shook her head and did not answer...... In fact, although she has not been detained here for more than a month, her mentality seems to have inexplicably changed...... From the initial dissatisfaction of being forced to be restrained, to the current relaxed and casual...... In this small city, the outstanding vitality that has emerged with the rapid development of the city, which is different from those memories but more novel, seems to constitute a unique charm more and more. Fascinated her unconsciously.
Edward was unimpressed by this silence - the Imperial woman always responded to the uncertain answers...... Of course, this is a habit that develops after the first few arguments, suppressed by someone with a bizarre but irrefutable theory.
"Hmm. It's actually quite simple."
A piece of soft cotton cloth flowed and deformed in his hand, and then turned into a light waistcoat with two rows of ten small pockets on it, and Edward tried their heights, and then inserted one crystal after another into it.
"Come to me for trouble? This majesty is exactly the time to ask me. What trouble can he make for me? For some time to come, as long as he is prepared to use troops against the Duke of Blackwood, he will need my cooperation...... What's more, he might even thank me for saving him a lot of money. ”
Edward sneered and looked up from the great cause of tidying up.
Although he had killed many people, Edward had never been a fan of killing, and he would not take the life of humans or humanoids if they didn't have to......
But he is also aware that some people must be taught a lesson.
The human heart is a very strange thing, and the so-called forgiveness does not necessarily bring gratitude, but there is a high probability that it will be taken for granted weakness, and only the threat to life is the best way to really solve some peeping.
During this underground trip, Edward undoubtedly encountered the most troublesome thing for him...... And he doesn't know what kind of aftermath these encounters will have, and how many more troublesome consequences will bring. So, he chose the most straightforward way to solve the little thing at hand - sometimes a small distraction is enough to cause great damage, so it is better to eradicate it completely while the problem is not too big.
A thousand men of the Demon Wolf, a thousand knights or a good armed force, but in the eyes of His Majesty the King, it is nothing more than a dispensable thing...... Their foundation is just some second-rate border troops, and even some nobles' private soldiers, who are old in the battle formation but not very loyal, although they have made a contribution this time, but not only the reward, but even the food and salary will become a problem, and more importantly, the king will never want such a team to be placed around the Romanti, because that will add an uncertain factor, and even affect the balance of power around him.
That's why these people were sent here.
Therefore, cutting off this wolf claw will have a good deterrent effect, as for Rudolph...... He had already stood opposite Edward, and although the previous contradictions were not irresolvable, they were not necessary, and although the power he possessed was numerous, he did not possess the power - if it was ten days ago, Edward might have had some scruples about this new general of the kingdom, but now......
Unless it's a character of the level of the ** division, don't think about it at all
Now, he had given the Blazing Divine Servant a sufficient reason - it was obvious that she would not let go of the three royal powers in her hands, and sooner or later, she would definitely appear in front of him again.
The threat of a Blazing Divine Servant is far beyond the reach of any human legionnaire.
Although he had the upper hand in the battle in the flames, and even almost won a complete victory, but looking back on the details, it was enough to make the psychic warlock tremble, and everyone knew that most of this victory was based on some uncertain factors - the attrition caused by the hostility with the octopus head, the mistakes caused by the contempt, and the advantage of calculating and unintentional.
Even so, that confrontation was just as thrilling, and with a slight difference, Edward was a finale who had disappeared with the light and died without a place to be buried.
And in the next encounter, the previous qiē advantage may not be possible again.
However, the crisis also seems to represent a turning point for some of the journeys. After obtaining the three shards of royal power, he has become more comfortable with the operation of the magic net, especially now, the connection with the flame gate allows him to send earth elemental creatures into the depths of the leylines, and after a short recharge, he has an absolutely powerful helper.
