Lord of War

  Hekarrom is an earldom belonging to the Duchy of Jordan. Because of the particularity and greed of the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy, the territory holds a very important position for the nobles here. And at the beginning, no matter how high or low the title is, the territory that can be obtained is only a small piece, almost equivalent to a knight collar in other countries-that is, the size of a few small villages.

  But on such a scale, unless it is directly rewarded by the Grand Duke, it would mean spending more than 200,000 pan-continental gold coins.

   is still the kind that does not guarantee safety.

  In the Commonwealth of the Northern Principalities, the princes of the thirty-six principalities have a large number of direct territories, and these territories are their tools for collecting money. Those nobles who belonged to the duchy had only two methods if they wanted to expand their territory: one was to buy the territory from the grand prince, and the other was to fight it down through war. So the war between the princes is very fierce, almost reaching the level of once every three days. As long as you don’t infringe on the territories directly under the princes, the princes don’t care what kind of fight under you, or they just want to wait. It's best that both sides are defeated and injured, and then be robbed by other thieves, robbers, and mercenaries.

  In the Commonwealth of the Northern Principality, the two lord families suffered losses due to territorial contention. In the end, they were robbed by others and then sold the territories directly to the Grand Duke. There are simply too many cases. Xiao En even knew that there were many bandits in the disguise of the Grand Duke's direct army to kill people and recover territories. After all, each piece of these territories meant a lot of financial income.

  Earl of Hecarrom, not only has such a name, but the area of ​​the Earl of Hecarrom is indeed a real area of ​​earls.

  This is a true earl of strength.

  In the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy, the meaning of the power count is stronger than the power prefix noble in the general kingdom.

   And his main source of income is to rely on the Warcraft resources and various herbal resources produced in Dunmar Forest, which accounted for nearly one-third of the entire Hecaromian’s financial income. Therefore, the town of Dunma, which is famous for its forest, has a church of the God of War. There is also a priest in white robe and ten knights of the **** of war.

It’s not that Earl Hecarom didn’t have the idea of ​​fighting these ten war knights, but for many years he could only befriend the somewhat greedy priest in white robes—this is just a superficial friendship, really. Wanting this white-robed priest to be his own, the price paid is far from enough. Only at this time, Earl Hecarom did not think of it himself. His efforts over the years have been ruined by Sean's intervention. Even the ten God of War knights were bought by Sean, followed him and Emily into the Dunmar Forest, ready to trouble his group of men.

  There is a temporary camp on the edge of Dunma Forest slightly closer to the deep hinterland.

  The camp did not build any fences, not even tents, and all the mercenaries who rested in the camp lie directly in their clothes. However, as veterans who often go deep into Dunma Forest to hunt, they naturally know how to live safely in this forest. There are not many people who work shifts to watch the night. And there are also many traps around. Even the places where the mercenaries rest are digging pits in advance, and then burning the remaining charcoal on the fire to keep warm.

  The head of the mercenary group who was supposed to lie down and rest, but after a visitor appeared, he had to get up to receive him.

  This visitor is naturally one of the two deputy heads of the Rose Mercenary Group, Mary.

  But those who participated in the talks except Mary and this private mercenary group affiliated to the Earl of Hecarom. There is also a young man dressed elegantly and noble.

  This young man has short curly brown hair, and his eyes are sapphire blue like the ocean. His dress is very elegant, even a set of hunting suit is obviously made by hand-cutting. Not only is the material selected high-end, the protection ability is very good, but also can well reflect the figure of this man. But in this camp, the man seemed to be out of place with the surrounding environment. Not only did his hands wear black leather gloves, but he also covered his nose with a handkerchief. Obviously he was uncomfortable with the peculiar smell of the forest. .

  "What happened?" When the young man saw Mary's appearance, he realized that something might be wrong, so he didn't ask Mary why she came here, but went straight to the topic.

  Although this young man is incompatible with the surrounding environment, his direct control and keen attention to the subject fully show that this young man is also a very experienced commander. Without a certain level of experience, it is impossible to cultivate the courage and decision-making ability of this young man. Even if he is not inferior to Emily, he can even be said to be more sophisticated.

"Something went wrong." Mary said in a deep voice, her face a little ugly, "Emily is now in the Church of the God of War, protected by the Knights of the God of War.... I just heard from those of the Knights of the God of War, in a short time I'm afraid Emily won't leave, and someone from the Marz Cathedral is likely to send someone over."

  When he heard the Marz Cathedral, the head of the mercenary regiment who was the confidant of Count Hecarom, his face was shocked: "Why do people from the Pope's Cathedral intervene?"

   "I don't know the specifics." Mary shook her head. "The war knights didn't say anything, but it may be related to the man next to Emily."

   "Damn it!" The mercenary leader cursed.

  If Sean is present at this time, he will be able to recognize that this mercenary group leader is the mercenary group leader who ordered the pursuit of Sean today. It was precisely because he joined that battle that he finally formed the last straw that crushed the Rose Mercenary Group's logistics forces, ended the battle ahead of schedule and cleaned the battlefield as if it had been looted by robbers.

  Only Mary knows that the bandit who attacked the Rose Mercenary Group was a private mercenary group under the command of Earl Hecarom: the Warcraft Hunter.

  According to the original plan, they will solve the logistics of the Rose Mercenary Group in this Dunma Forest, and looted all the materials to force the Rose Mercenary Group into a predicament of lack of supplies. Afterwards, Mary will provide bait to trick the Rose Mercenary Group into dividing troops into the forest to hunt for beasts, in exchange for the next travel expenses. But in fact the second ring of this trap is to provide the Mercenary Group of Warcraft Hunters with a chance to defeat them one by one. As long as a group of members of the Rose Mercenary Group are resolved, the Earl of Hecarom will come forward. Pretending to encircle and suppress the robbers, but in fact, they joined with the Mercenary Corps of Warcraft Hunters and directly slaughtered the Mercenary Corps of Roses.

  The plan was originally implemented very successfully.

  But because of the unexpected factor of Sean, the plan changed.

  Now, Emily is even more sheltered by the Church of God of War, which means that their plans will not work at all.

  The head of the Mercenary Group of Warcraft Hunters learned today that Sean had run away, and he realized that the situation might be a little bad. But I didn't expect it to be so bad. He was even guessing at this time. Is Sean a Ares knight of the God of War church? If so, he openly attacked a Ares knight of the God of War church. Once he is recognized, let alone Earl Hecarom can't protect him, maybe he will be implicated for it.

  "How is the defense force of the town?" The young man holding a handkerchief to cover the odor suddenly said.

"Do you want to attack the city?" The head of the Warcraft Hunter Mercenary Group's expression suddenly changed, "Impossible. Can't take it.... The town does not mention the ten war knights. The standing guard force is 500 people. , After all, the location of this small town is too important, and the earl can't be undefended."

   "But we are not the enemy of the town." The young man said softly.

  In an instant, the head of the mercenary group realized the meaning of this young man's words.

  They are the private mercenary group of the Earl of Hecarom. They catch warcraft in the Dunma Forest all the year round, so the town’s defense team actually knows them. If they want to enter the town, it won't cause any problems at all, even if they fight with other people directly in the town. The town’s garrison team will definitely come to support them instead of arresting them.

"The only thing to worry about. There are only two points. The first point is the Church of the God of War..." The young man saw the change in the expression of the leader next to him, knowing that he had understood what he meant, "If the Church of the God of War does not interfere. In this case, we can just find an excuse to take them all down before those people react.... So the second point is involved here. We must avoid the person who has seen you."

   "Let the God of War Church not intervene in this point, I think it can still be done, but..."

   "I will be responsible for all costs of bribery."

"Okay!" The head of the mercenary group nodded, "Then Mary, I'll give you a task. You can figure out a way to lead that man away. I will give you a few people. It is enough to entangle him. We only need ten minutes."

   "Ten minutes?" Mary thought for a while, then nodded, "No problem."

  Soon, the people who entered the state immediately began to discuss the next action plan. None of them are people without knowledge and experience. Each of them obviously has a rich combat experience, so the plan is finalized in a few words, and all deficiencies are even repaired. The whole process not only did not waste the slightest time, but also quickly reached an agreement between each other.

  Goo——Goo——

   "Is some monster approaching?" The young man frowned slightly. "This kind of monster has been screaming since just now."

  Hearing the young man's words, Mary's face suddenly changed: "No! It's the gathering signal of the Rose Mercenary Group...Uh..."

Before Mary finished speaking, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.

   She lowered her head and glanced at the location of her heart. A hand wearing black leather gloves was holding a letter opener and pierced her heart. This hand was firm and strong, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this move.

  Mary raised her head a little hard, her eyes full of doubts.

   "I've been followed, I don't know, what's the use of you?" The young man said lightly, then let go, without even pulling out the letter opener, just watching Mary slowly fall to the ground.

  The mercenary group who had witnessed all this felt a bit chilly. He did not expect that this gentle-looking young nobleman would be so crisp and cruel that he would not even notice it when he shot it. He couldn't help but wonder, if he stabbed himself this time, could he avoid it?

"I have been touched by the enemy, and your guards are useless... Your lord, don’t you plan to give the order?" Seeing this mercenary leader did not respond, even a little lost, the young nobleman finally did it again. Spoke up.

  The mercenary captain finally woke up, and immediately blew a whistle.

  In an instant, the entire mercenary group that was resting, suddenly turned around like a rotating gear.

  However, when these people moved, Emily did not show mercy either. It was a rapid and dense rain of arrows that shot at the private mercenary group of Count Hecarom from all directions. (To be continued~^~)
