With the protection of Baird and his subordinates, the next road is simply calm, and even the soldiers patrolling the territory do not dare to come forward to disturb the investigation, this is the Imperial Capital Guard, who knows who they are protecting, but the status will definitely not be low, and I don't want to go up to find it boring.

In the next journey, the killer really stopped attacking, maybe he knew that the success was not high, or the buyer no longer spent money in vain, of course, this attack still told Anthony, as for how Anthony got angry, Faren didn't know.

However, Lawrence's mercenary team also ended the mission early, after all, they didn't have much effect, and in the first town they encountered after the attack, they gave them money in advance, so that they could rest and adjust early.

"I originally wanted to have a drink with Captain Lawrence after arriving in the imperial capital, but I didn't expect it to be such a situation. ”

Fallon said as he looked at the rest of the Lawrence team.

"This is our task, we take the money, we should complete the task, Young Master Faeron don't feel sad, it is their choice to embark on the path of mercenaries, no one forces them. ”

Lawrence looked at the jar containing the ashes of the team members, he had seen a lot of life and death like this, and his tears had long since dried up.

"Okay, Captain Lawrence, let's say goodbye here, I'll hire Captain Lawrence when I have the chance. ”

"No, Young Master Feren, I don't plan to be a mercenary anymore after this time, I have also saved some money, and it is time to go home and live a small life. ”

Lawrence is on crutches, although there are magic healing potions, but the injury on his leg is too serious, it has already affected his movement a little, and there is no way for mercenaries to continue this road in the future.

"That's a pity, Captain Lawrence, if you have time to come to San Fili to find me later, I'll treat you to a drink. ”

The convoy continued on the road, leaving seven figures standing in front of the city gate to watch Faren leave, in just a few days, Faren had already gotten along well with Lawrence's mercenary group, and most of the distance was gone, only a few remained, Feren felt for the first time that human lives were so cheap, and he bought more than ten human lives for less than a hundred gold coins.

On the third day after parting with Lawrence, Faeron finally saw a majestic city perched on the plains in the distance.

That's right, as Grandpa Anthony said, there are fifty or sixty meters of walls, God knows how they were built, and Faeron doubts that anyone can really break through such a wall?

The imperial capital has a large population, and the city can no longer live in it, and outside the city, the continuous dwellings form a city outside the city, and Fei Lun feels that the population here must exceed the population of those big cities on the earth.

There were still two or three kilometers away from the city wall, and there were residential communities, which were already within the scope of the imperial capital, looking at the foundation that continued to extend outward, Fei Lun felt that the city wall should be demolished and rebuilt.

"Young Master Faeron, the Legion Commander is at the front to greet you. ”

Just as Faeron was observing the difference between the lives of the people of the imperial capital and the people of Philo, Baird came to the carriage and said.

"What?"

Fei Lun was stunned for a moment, and originally planned to visit the commander of the Imperial Capital Guards first, but he didn't expect people to come out to greet him in person.

"Stop the carriage, I'm going to get off. ”

Others come out to greet you to give you face, if you put a big head of garlic again, but you won't open your eyes.

Feron got out of the carriage and saw that fifty meters in front of him, there were several knights, the knight at the head did not wear helmets, fiery red hair, resolute face, and looked only in his forties, Feron knew that the real age of a person could not be seen from the appearance on the Red Earth Continent, the higher the strength, the longer the lifespan, this Wood Legion Captain was a follower of Grandpa Anthony, and his age would never be as young as his appearance.

When the people on the opposite side saw Fei Lun get out of the carriage, they all turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Fei Lun, and when the other party walked in, Fei Lun felt a faint sense of oppression, which was the majesty of being in a high position for a long time.

"Wood has seen Master Faeron. ”

Before Fei Lun stepped forward to say hello, the leader took two steps forward, bent down and saluted, which startled Fei Lun a lot, and then Fei Lun finally understood the true meaning of a follower, loyalty, regardless of status and length, one day is a follower, and a follower for life.

"Captain Wood, don't be polite, you are my elder, I should salute you. ”

Faeron hurriedly returned the salute, Grandpa Anthony is really good-eyed.

"No, Young Master Feron, I am a follower of Master Anthony, and always will be, you are my young master, this time I didn't think about it, I knew it earlier, and I directly sent someone to pick up the young master from Philo City. ”

Wood said with a look of shame that he could have today's results all because of Anthony, if Young Master Feren made a little mistake, he would never forgive himself.

"Uncle Wood, Grandpa Anthony has long regarded you as a family, don't mention the matter of followers in the future, just call me Faeron, Grandpa Anthony has specially explained to me that I must visit you when I come to the imperial capital. ”

Fallon is very humble, and when it comes to a strong and supportable legion, Fallon still needs to woo him, even if he is loyal to Anthony.

"I didn't expect that Lord Anthony hadn't forgotten Wood, he hadn't seen Lord Anthony for many years, was he okay?"

When Anthony is mentioned, Wood's eyes shine, which shows how deeply Anthony has influenced him.

"Grandpa can eat and drink, and his health is good, so don't worry about Uncle Wood, grandpa is still talking about letting you go to Philo, and he misses you too. ”

"Master Anthony is in good health, when I work for two years, I will retire and go to Philo to accompany Master Anthony, that old guy Benson has not seen him for a long time, Master Feron, this is not the place to talk, it is better to come to me, let's take a rest, I am very tired along the way." ”

Seeing that he was jammed with traffic, Wood asked Fallon to get in the car and go into the city.

Fei Lun arrived safely in the imperial capital, but the dark tide of Philo was still not over, and when the second assassination failed, the former black shadow knelt in a gloomy basement, and in front of him sat a man with his upper body hidden in the darkness.

"Master, the scorpion has failed. ”

The shadow shivered a little, as if he was afraid of the man.

"Well, I know, that old man actually let the Imperial Capital Guards dispatch, I didn't expect that Wood to still be loyal to him, it's really not simple, but that's fine, you can mobilize the Imperial Capital Guards casually, this time Bixia can't trust him anymore, I didn't expect to kill the small one, but I accidentally gained a big one. ”

In the darkness, there was a sneer, which made the black shadow kneeling on the ground curl up even more.

"You say, if you assassinate that little thing twice in a row, will the old thing go crazy. ”

The man asked the shadow.

"It must go crazy, the master is strategizing, that old thing must not be the master's opponent, Philo must be the master's. ”

The dark shadow flattered the seated man.

"But that little thing is not dead, and Philo will definitely leave it to him in the future, what do you say. ”

"The subordinates immediately went to the imperial capital to kill him, and the subordinates promised that they would succeed. ”

The dark shadow's voice was about to choke, and he wanted to start begging for mercy.

"But you seem to have said this once, how can you make me believe in you again, I think you should play your due value and become pet food, do you say? ”

After the man finished speaking, he twisted the armrest of the seat hard.

"Master, spare ......"

Before the black shadow could finish speaking, a black hole immediately cracked open on the floor where he was kneeling, and the black shadow fell down at once, and then a scream was heard below, and then there was a sound of rejection, and the floor closed after a few seconds, blocking the terrifying sound from the ground.

"Hey, I don't have loyal subordinates like that old thing, they're all a bunch of waste, Jihua is about to start, but my mission hasn't been completed yet, I really don't know what punishment will be, it's a real headache. ”

The man raised his hand and rubbed his head, then stood up and blew out the only candle in the room, disappearing into complete darkness.

In the villa of the Anthony family, Anthony also rubbed his head and looked at the information in his hand.

"With only a few trading points removed, can't you find any trace of a poisonous scorpion?"

Anthony said to Benson that during this time, all kinds of strict inspections in Philo Territory did not find the scorpion's institution in Philo Territory, and only raided a few offices where the scorpions and buyers connected, and caught a few old bad old men who were dying.

"No way, those killers can't be captured alive, as long as they are caught, they will take poison and kill themselves, we can't get a single confession, I'm really sorry, sir. ”

Benson is also very helpless, killers are the most difficult kind of people to catch, they are different from mercenaries, they are not afraid of death, they are only loyal to the organization, it is extremely difficult to obtain information about their organization.

"What about the buyer's information, and what have you gained?"

"The buyers never showed up, they were all wearing cloaks, and after the second attack on Young Master Faerun, they never showed up again, I am afraid they either left or were killed. ”

"These unsightly things, forget it, let Philo return to normal, Fei Lun has entered the imperial capital, I believe that the transaction there has been canceled, and Fei Lun is temporarily safe. ”

This period of turmoil in the Philo Territory has made the people of the Philo Territory panic, it is time to end, since they already know that there is a black hand, it is better to wait for them to slowly pay for themselves.

"Yes, sir, but sir, if you ask Wood to mobilize the imperial capital guards, I'm afraid there will be problems with Bixia, and I'm afraid Bixia will be on guard against you. ”

"It's okay, I just want Bixia to guard against me, I don't want to get involved in the next battle for the throne, Bixia is old, the princes are ready to move, and the Anthony family has paid too much. ”
