Lord of War

Vol 3 Chapter 4: .We meet again

  Perhaps because of a **** battle, the people of the 7th Legion showed a **** murderous aura.

Although this group of newly aided soldiers did not deliberately show a fierce and wicked appearance, each of them exudes a fierce and sturdy aura, which is similar to the appearance that Sean once saw. Difference. And when these people were getting closer to Sean and others, the leading commander also knew how to order some manpower to maintain order, and to disperse the crowd, lest the next possible battle would spread to the innocent people. .

  Although I don’t know what kind of mentality the other party considers, but being able to be so cautious and meticulous at least proves that this guy in front of me has obviously grown in the past year or so.

   Soon, the people who were still queuing to enter the city were dispersed to a place two or thirty meters away from Xiao En and others.

  If Blackstone seems to be an extremely dangerous creature, I am afraid that the crowds who have been dispersed will choose to watch them closer. Of course, not everyone would choose to watch. At this time, many people were reluctant to pay the head fee of that silver coin, and they chose to take advantage of the 7th Legion's attention to be attracted to the Tony Fortress.

  Sean's gaze swept around again, only to find that the little girl and the person who might be her parents had left. In this regard, Xiao En just shook his head helplessly. After all, in a chaotic world where strength is respected, can he expect these civilians who have no identity to say anything for him?

  As the crowd was dispelled, and the soldiers of the 7th Legion gradually approached, the commander of the opposing team naturally got closer and closer to Sean.

  It’s just that from beginning to end, his gaze almost stayed on Blackstone and Marshmallow. From the heat in Heishi’s eyes and his doubts about marshmallows, Sean can already tell that the other party clearly knows the existence of such creatures as Earthwalking dragons, but whether he knows the mutant emperor dragon, it’s hard to say. Yes, as for Marshmallow that is a creature that even Sean doesn't know, it is obviously impossible for the other party to know.

   Therefore, the other party's eyes soon shifted to Rina. After all, Rina was standing next to Blackstone at this time, reaching out and patting Blackstone's body to calm it down. In the case of Bingxing of the Earth Traveling Dragon, being able to obey the commands and orders of a human being so docilely, then this undoubtedly completely shows the identity of Rina, so that the other party's eyes on Rina are also full of a kind of Hot, like looking at a possession.

The creatures of the earth travel dragon may not be peculiar to those empires that can form the earth travel dragon army. At best, they represent strength and luck. After all, not everyone can become a member of the earth travel dragon army. member. But for the Lane people, the beast of the earth travel dragon simply represents a symbol of identity, status, strength and so on. Being able to have an earth travel dragon or a follower of an earth travel dragon knight is simply one. A matter of great face.

  But it is a pity that this kind of beast is still an existence that cannot be forced to the Lane people. Of course, the reason for this result is not that it is difficult to find Earthwalking dragons. On the contrary, there are several nests of Earthwalking dragons in the Principality of Lane. The real reason why Earthwalking dragons cannot be forced is the difficulty of taming them. Very big. This so-called difficulty refers to a taming technique, just like taming a wild horse, which requires special skills to be tamed.

Basically, only the two empires of the Millennium Covenant Empire and the Emilia Empire have mastered this kind of taming skills on the Southern Continent. Although there is also a kingdom called Satagastan that also has a dragoon legion, this No one can prove whether the country has mastered this technology, because this country has very little communication with the outside world, and in terms of the size of the Dragoon Corps, there is still a big gap with the two empires.

  It’s just that this kingdom also has a huge advantage that the two empires don’t have: the town powerhouse of the Kingdom of Satagastan is a true dragon knight.

   is not the rank of the earth travel dragon knight, the dragon knight or the holy dragon knight, but the real dragon knight: the dragon knight.

Therefore, any country that wants to invade the Kingdom of Satagastan must face a problem: in front of Longwei, any cavalry type unit cannot go on the battlefield at all, and even if it is a pure infantry army, it also has to face Longwei. Weaken the combat power to a certain extent, so that it is not enough for the Dragoon Legion of the Kingdom of Satagastan to charge. However, it is very subtle that the Kingdom of Satagastan has never shown any thoughts or signs of foreign aggression for so many years. They seem to be very content with the status quo. Its land area is still not much different from that of a duchy, so it has been over time. No one wants to trouble the Kingdom of Satagastan.

  At least, no one will go to trouble this country until the giant dragon in the palace of this kingdom dies.

  Now in the Kingdom of Lane, there will never be more than five nobles with earth travel dragons or flying dragons. If Sean is counted, there may be five. It's just that the other ones are definitely ordinary earth travel dragons and flying dragons, and they can't even be regarded as subdragon species in the strict sense. Because according to Xiao En's understanding, the definition of "Yalong" on the Marvel Continent is to have the blood of a dragon, and the beasts such as the earth travel dragon and the flying dragon are so thin that there is almost no dragon blood, the exact definition is "dragon-like." , Just like "humanoids".

  So Sean can understand the heat in the eyes of the other party looking at Rina.

   There is no doubt that the other party has obviously regarded Rina and herself and others as a small mercenary group.

  In other words, a mercenary group that was lucky enough to get a dragon. If it weren't for knowing that Earthwalking Dragon would only serve one master during his entire life under normal circumstances, Sean would bet that the other party must be trying to kill Rina and take Blackrock away. After all, this method of killing people and selling goods is not unfamiliar to these nobles, and it can even be said to be easy to come by.

  Of course, Sean will have this impression, the most important thing is that the other party is a person with this kind of criminal record.

  Not long after, the other party had already brought a group of 7th Legion members to Xiao En and the others. However, since Sean and others are wearing hooded cloaks commonly used by adventurers, and they have not lifted the hood at this time, the other party did not recognize the identity of Sean and others, of course, the most important thing is the other party's. His eyes didn't stay on Sean at all, but on Rina, and even Xuefanio and Cecilia were ignored.

  Perhaps in his eyes, the really valuable people should be Rena and Blackstone.

  As for a white lion, although it is a species that has never been seen before, in his eyes, it is at best a level three or four monster, which is not enough to make him feel excited. Of course, if it is a buy one get one free, then he will definitely not refuse, maybe this time he can just go back as a gift.

"Which mercenary group are you from?" The old acquaintance standing in front of Sean's eyes was a set of standard official accents. "You dare to make trouble here in Tonys Fortress, don't you be afraid of being attacked by the king's army? Do you think you can do whatever you want if you have an earth-traveling dragoon?"

  His voice was loud and full of the majesty of a superior, and he immediately caught the eye when he came over. This overlapped with the figure in Sean’s impression. Originally feeling the **** murderous aura of the opponent and the speed of reaction in handling things, Sean felt that the opponent's military career might have really grown in the past six months, but now it seems that even if it has grown, it is aristocratic. The temper and way of thinking have also not fallen.

  Sean and others did not reply.

In this team, although Sean’s strength is the lowest, his identity is the highest, and the other three are actually used to Sean’s command and giving orders, so Sean did not speak, and the others just Did not speak. However, they obviously turned their heads towards Sean, especially since Rina’s hood had been lifted just now, so just judging from her gaze at this time, the other party knew that the person standing in the middle was this team. Of the head.

  "Are you the leader of this mercenary group?" The other party spoke again, his voice as arrogant as ever.

  Sean didn’t speak, but he could see signs of nodding on his hooded head.

  This action made the young 7th Legion commander's face flashed with sorrow, and the whole person's aura became much fierce.

  That is a **** murderous aura that only those who really make a **** battle on the battlefield will have, combined with the dignity of the higher-ups who are getting deeper and deeper, can indeed create an impressive and powerful aura coercion for ordinary people. It's just a pity that the person he is facing now is Sean, so his powerful aura, which is similar to not being angry, can't put any pressure on Sean at all.

   But this time, the other party is rare to leave a new impression on Sean.

It’s because the other party didn’t take it forcibly, but started to think, and even used some shame-covering methods: “This is a special period. If you just go in like this, it will bring a lot of confusion and influence. So these few of yours Pets must stay outside first, and you have to go to the legion garrison to report with me. You will not be allowed to stay in the fortress until you are sure that you are not in any danger at all. However, during your stay, these pets are all It’s not allowed to enter the inner city. It must be fostered at the legion’s resident. We will arrange for someone to guard it, but you will need to pay a guard fee afterwards."

  This statement sounds like there are no loopholes or flaws, but the other party did not clearly say how much the care fee needs to be paid. And Sean believes that the other party's eyes on Rina are so fiery just now, he must also know Rina's status as an earth traveler. Now that he knows this, it is clear that the other party is also very clear that once the dragon traveler approves of the rider, it is unlikely that he will go anymore. Being tamed, but the other party still wants to forcibly separate Rina and Blackstone, then this can only show that the other party either has some special means that he is confident of keeping Blackstone, or he wants to use this method and method to forcibly isolate Rina. The actions of himself and others facilitate his contact and wooing.

  But whether it's the former or the latter, at least it proves that this guy is really thinking about problems with his brain, instead of just knowing how to take it.

  In contrast, this food is more and more like a qualified nobleman.

"We'll stay at most for one night." Sean finally couldn't help but speak. Anyway, he already knows all the things he wants to know, so naturally there is no need to pretend to be a pig. "I will leave Tony tomorrow morning. Fortress."

  Hearing Xiao En's words, the young nobleman's brow furrowed again, and his gaze at Xiao En became a little more puzzled. In Sean’s view, it was obvious that the other party was familiar with his own voice and was a little more confused. After all, what happened at Tonys Fortress was not trivial. The two sides also had several confrontations with each other, so more It's not unusual to have a little impression.

  It’s just that this kind of doubt quickly faded away—especially after he looked at Blackstone again.

"It's probably impossible." The young nobleman shook his head. "It's just a report for review and inspection. You will probably stay for a few days. At least until you are sure of your danger, it is impossible for us to let you inside. The city, let alone leave Tonys Fortress. After all, the Kingdom of Lane will hold a grand banquet in a while, so you still have to prepare for some long-term stay."

   Xiao En sighed slightly. In non-essential circumstances, he really didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly. This is not just what he thinks, even big figures such as Asuna, Hatch, and Kos chose to arrive in secret. Afterwards, even if they were on the road together, they all chose to pretend to encounter accidentally after leaving the fortress. In any case, they should try their best to avoid giving people a feeling of forming a party for private purposes.

  So if Sean reveals his identity here, then he probably won't be on the road with Asuna and others. And this is exactly what Sean wants to avoid, after all, because of his previous strength in the southern theater and some deliberate behavior, he has already established many enemies for him. The same is true because he was once from Asuna, so those political opponents who dare not and cannot attack Asuna in the face will naturally choose to attack him.

  According to the plan of William and Hela, this is the time to go to the Royal Capital of Ryan. It is best for him to find a backer to borrow from the downtrend and go with him, and try to avoid exposing his strength early.

  It’s just that the young aristocrat who made it clear that he was going to dig a corner was greedy, but let Xiao En understand that if he didn’t reveal his identity, I’m afraid there’s really no way to leave like this today. And if he really went to the station of the Seventh Legion, his identity would also be exposed, and some smart people might even speculate on some of his methods, which would be even worse for him.

  After all, the Seventh Army has been Ryan’s most famous aristocratic corps since its establishment.

  The command of this legion has always been in the hands of the Royal Family. Even if there are some infighting or confrontation at the management level, it is a conflict and confrontation within the Royal Family. However, as the most important and most loyal army of the royal family, the nobles who came out of this army can easily gain the trust and recognition of the royal family of Ryan, so over time this army has become a trial for the noble families to show their loyalty to the royal family. Therefore, nobles began to send the less important heirs of their families to this army.

As a result, there are nobles who continue to provide supplies to the Seventh Army. Of course, the Royal Family of Ryan is very happy to see such a situation, which means that they don’t need to spend a single cent to help them support them. The army, and they only need to throw away a little bit of meat in a timely manner to satisfy these nobles, why not? Of course, if it is a truly loyal family, or indeed capable talents, the Royal Family will not be stingy, they are still very happy to provide them with an opportunity or platform.

  As a result, the 7th Legion is naturally more and more mixed. After all, because of political opinions or interest issues, the major nobles of the Ryan Kingdom will be hostile, or alliance, or joint, or neutral, and the reactions and attitudes of these families will naturally affect their being sent to the 7th Legion. Of those family children. But this is not without benefits, because almost all the nobles in the Kingdom of Lane have gathered, so the platform of the Seventh Army itself is also the largest source of intelligence for each family.

  It is conceivable that once Shaun’s disguised identity spreads in the Seventh Army, the major families will receive news in three days at most. And perhaps the young noble children of the Seventh Legion won’t think too deeply, but once such information is passed back to the family, with the cautiousness of those noble old foxes, naturally they will quickly be able to outline a pair that can be guessed even if it is not completely accurate. A rough strategic plan diagram in the middle.

"Broad, are you so anxious to win over my people?" After Sean sighed helplessly, he still chose to speak, "Aren't you afraid that something is too hot, if you can't swallow it, you will Burn your throat?"

The pupils of the young nobleman named Broad shrank suddenly, because when Sean said these words, he could feel an extremely obvious awe-inspiring killing intent, which was a powerful aura that completely surpassed him. . He turned his head and stared at Sean, perhaps because of Sean's strong pressure, but he was sweating profusely in such a short period of time, his face became a little pale, and he gasped and said: "Who are you?"

  Sean did not speak any more, just lifted his hood gently, and stared at Broad indifferently.

   "It's you!" Broad's face flushed red.

  For Sean, even if it turns to ashes, he will not forget, because it was the conflict that broke out at the gate of Tonys Fortress more than a year ago that completely ruined his fourth-line successor status. For this reason, he broke away from the Ceballox family in a rage, but at that time the Rodis family, the family of Broad’s biological mother, did not want him to throw an olive branch, so he officially broke away from the noble status and started from a A soldier became a soldier, and after several encirclement and suppression operations and the war in the Northwest Theater, he finally relied on his own strength to climb to the position of the earl.

  But it is just a virtual title, and there is no fief. Even in the Seventh Army, it is just a squadron leader.

  So for Sean, Brod is still very resentful, because if it weren't for him, he wouldn't end up where he is today. However, in addition to resentment, he was more jealous, jealous of Sean’s luck: because when the war broke out, he heard that Sean was the commander-in-chief of the southern theater, and he was still a baron. identity. And when after this war, he overheard someone mentioning the name Sean again, it was the list of marquis leaked from the royal family.

  For this, he finally realized that he wanted to become a true nobleman by his own strength, which was by no means an easy task. So when the members of the Rhodes family came to meet him and said that the Rhodes family was willing to accept his identity now, Broad agreed without hesitation, and he was in the process of becoming Broad Rhodes. From a moment, he officially joined the competition for the heirs of the Rodis family.

  Now, he is the second heir to the Rodis family, and the gap with the first heir has narrowed to a completely negligible gap.

  So, if he can have an earth travel dragon knight as a follower, then this will definitely help his heirs fight. This is also the reason why Brod would show such a fanatical **** se in his eyes when he saw Rena and Blackstone, because no one knew the meaning of the word "privilege" better than him.

  Of course, after seeing Sean again at this time, Broad finally understood that what Sean has is more than just luck. Although his strength has not improved much, but under his aura and coercion, Broad does not even have the thought of resisting at all. How many people have to kill with such terrible murderous aura.

  Broad couldn't figure it out.

   "It's me." Sean nodded blankly, "We meet again."

  Broad looked at Sean, silent.

"I said, I only stayed at Tonys fortress for one night and left the next day, so you'd better not block my way." Sean still said softly, but since his identity has been exposed, then Naturally, he would not be polite. Anyway, he had slaughtered two of the nobleman’s men in Tonis Fortress. "You and I are also old acquaintances, because you should be very clear that if you block my way, What kind of end is there. I was able to kill your two guards a year ago. What do you think will happen today after a year? ... I didn't see any golden powers around you."

  Listening to Sean’s naked mockery, Broad was silent.

  And those 7th Legion soldiers who followed Broad looked at each other. It was obvious that they had already heard that the two young men not only knew each other, but also seemed to have a long-term grudge against each other. But as their commander, Broad would not dare to let these people go if he didn't give an order.

   "Disperse." Broad waved his hand.

  All the soldiers dispersed quickly.

  Sean glanced at Broad, but he seemed a little confused about his quick response, and frowned slightly. But since Broad said nothing, Sean naturally didn’t mean to speak any more. He hesitated for a while and still didn’t put on his hood. It was just that when he passed by Broad, he heard Broad’s. With a whisper, after this made Xiao En slightly stunned, he put on his hood and left with Rina, Cecilia, Xuefanio and others.

  After Xiao En and others left, the extremely suppressed atmosphere in the court finally began to dissipate.

  A few soldiers who walked closer to Broad took the courage to step forward at this time, and then asked, "My lord, who was that person just now?"

  The God of Broad was complicated, but he still shook his head: “It’s nothing, you shouldn’t see what happened today. If you let me know who passed it out in private, you will know the consequences yourself.”

  Hearing such a serious voice from Broad, the soldiers of the 7th Legion were a little awe-inspiring, because they seldom saw Broad showing such power. However, in the eyes of these soldiers, it was probably only because their chief had suffered a loss in the opponent’s hands, and two guards were killed. This is very embarrassing, so they are forbidden to discuss privately. It can also be understood that, after all, nobles love face.

   And Sean, who gradually disappeared from the vision of Broad and others, slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "Interesting." (To be continued.)
