On the Seven Towers

The four knight attendants of Livas all had low-level strength, but when they saw Xiao Chen and his men attack, they were too scared to fight back. Someone shouted, and the four men left the two tied mercenaries behind and turned to run.

Xiao Chen cast a charm spell. With his current level, he could use single-target magic as group magic. As he waved his hand, several groups of invisible spiritual magic entered the heads of the four men. The four men suddenly stopped, and then turned to Xiao Chen, their eyes full of admiration and worship.

"Your enemies are right beside you, destroy them." Xiao Chen said.

The four men looked at each other, their faces turned angry and hateful. The rationality in these people's hearts had long disappeared, and they had become puppets that could be manipulated by others. With Xiao Chen's words, they ignored everyone around them, as if at this moment they only had hateful enemies in their eyes.

They all drew their swords and slashed at the people around them, each of them attacking with all their strength without caring about defense. The crazy look of not caring about life and death made the surrounding mercenaries sweat coldly.

A servant had half of his neck chopped off by a sword, but before he died, he thrust his sword into the opponent's heart.

A servant was pierced in the abdomen by a sword, and the fighting spirit that exploded on the blade raged in his body, shattering his internal organs. But he risked this fatal injury and directly cut off the opponent's head.

In a few breaths, three people fell dead and one was dying. The last servant covered his sword with both hands, knelt on the ground and crawled to Xiao Chen little by little. He looked miserable and terrifying, but his expression was like a puppy asking for credit in front of his master.

This scene beyond the understanding of ordinary people made everyone feel chilly.

"You did a good job, rest in peace." Xiao Chen's face looked very calm, but his slightly pursed lips and slightly wrinkled brows revealed that he was not in a good mood.

The attendant spit out blood, and lay on the ground with a satisfied smile on his face and died.

The open space by the river was silent. Except for the two mercenaries who were tied up, blindfolded, and gagged, who didn't know what happened and were still struggling and making whimpering sounds, all the mercenaries were silent.

Even Ordas, who was standing behind Xiao Chen, lowered his head slightly and didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Chen. Although he had realized Xiao Chen's strength before, he had never seen him really cast a spell, and he didn't expect him to be able to do it so easily. Ordas was not completely ignorant of spiritual magic. Just now, he made several mercenaries kill each other with a wave of his hand. It was definitely not something that an ordinary spiritual mage could do. There was no magician as powerful as Xiao Chen in the entire Red Lotus Tower. If he had known that there was such a powerful magician in the Tower of China, he would never have waded into this muddy water.

Xiao Chen asked two dark elves to untie the ropes and cloth strips on the two mercenaries. The two men were so scared when they saw the corpses in front of them that they screamed loudly on the spot.

"Don't be afraid, I have always been a reasonable person, and the Tower of China is even more of a reasonable place." Xiao Chen stood on the slope. Even though he was now wearing ordinary merchant clothes, he still looked very powerful against the backdrop of several corpses. "Today I killed Livas and his servants here because the Duke of Green Forest City has repeatedly attacked our territory of the Tower of China. I am naturally ruthless to the direct descendants of Green Forest City and I will resolutely eradicate them!

But the rest of you are different. Although you have accepted the employment of Green Forest City, you have not caused any actual harm to us. Most people don't understand what kind of people we are. It can be said that you have been deceived. Unless someone is determined to work for Green Forest City, he can stand up now. I will give him a fair chance. Is there anyone coming?"

Wherever Xiao Chen's eyes looked, the mercenaries there shook their heads hard. Some of the brave ones said directly: "Master Xiao Chen is right, we were deceived by the Duke of Green Forest City."

The leader of a mercenary group said: "Master, we are willing to withdraw from this dispute. My team can leave here now and swear never to join the war with the Chinese."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said: "If you are the owner of a house, a group of robbers come to your place to rob, and then because they find you very powerful, they want to escape. Would you think these robbers are innocent? If you happen to block these robbers, will you let them go easily?"

Xiao Chen's simple analogy made the leader of the mercenary group sweat. He asked carefully: "Master, what do you want to do?"

"We have an old saying, called the death penalty can be exempted, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Since you followed the Duke of Parsa to join this war, you will naturally pay the price."

Hearing the word price, most mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to have something to talk about. They don't want to die inexplicably like those four unlucky guys. In order to establish the rules of the mercenary team, the four knight attendants attacked many mercenaries. Most of the mercenaries knew that their abilities were definitely not as good as those of these people. If this magician could easily deal with them, he could also easily deal with himself.

"Sir, if you have any request, just say it directly." A mercenary said.

"Join me to fight the Duke's team. This is your only chance. You are all mercenaries, fighting for money. That's fine. I will pay you as much as the Duke pays you. Otherwise, your ending will be like theirs." After saying this, Xiao Chen raised his hand and two charm spells hit the two people who were quietly retreating at the edge of the open space. They thought that in the dim sky, they could slowly retreat under the cover of the woods and then escape in the night. If they reported the situation here to the Duke, they might get a reward. However, Xiao Chen, who had night vision, stood on a high place and had already discovered them.

The two people who were under the spell immediately turned around and ran to Xiao Chen and knelt on one knee.

One of them said regretfully: "Sir, I have come to my senses. I am so stupid that I did not understand your good intentions. Only by following you can we win. Otherwise, we will be defeated and killed by you."

The other one cried bitterly: "I just wanted to escape. I am not a human being. Sir, please punish me! You can punish me in any way!"

"Are you willing to fight the Duke now?"

"Yes." The two said in unison, and one of them pounded his chest with his fist and swore: "I must fight for you to the end. Even if I lose my life, I must kill all the bastards under the Duke's command."

Xiao Chen turned to the others and said: "I will not allow anyone here to escape. The news here must not be heard by the Duke. So, you either volunteer to fight with me, or be voluntarily fought for me like the two of them."

This live drama became the last straw that overwhelmed the will of the mercenaries.

"Sir, we are willing to follow you to fight." The leader of a mercenary group knelt on one knee, and his members also knelt on the ground. Then came the second and third mercenary groups...

Xiao Chen looked at the people kneeling down in front of him and said, "You will know in the future that following our Tower of China is the wisest choice you have ever made in your life."
