Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"A rune bear summoned by Lord Roland regarded this place as his lair. These 'bandits' are really unlucky." Harold raised the torch and looked at other places in the spacious space, and found that there were indeed new things that people had lived in. trace.

Harold inserted the torch into the groove set by the "bandits", walked up to the rune bear and kicked the sleeping rune bear: "Give way, big man. You are blocking the way I want to go."

The Rune Bear was woken up sleepily by the Homeless Knight, and his eyes became fierce. He was about to slap the human who dared to wake him up, but he soon saw the other person's clothes and the rich golden blessing in his body.

The rune bear thought of the rules set by the god who was hazy in the golden light when he summoned him. The bear rolled over with a helpless face to make way for Harold, and then continued to sleep sleepily. It's over.

When Roland summoned the Rune Bear and the Shrimp King, he set a rule in their minds that they were not allowed to harm the soldiers who also came from the border area.This is also the reason why Harold is so confident when facing a rune bear.

Otherwise, the homeless knight who was born in Nimgefu and knows how terrifying the rune bear is would never kick a sleeping rune bear to death alone.

Of course, it would be tragic if someone who didn't come from the border area encountered a rune bear in the wild.

Just like this group of "bandits" who sneaked into the forest of the Golden Federation without knowing their purpose, the lair they found originally belonged to a certain wolf pack of monsters.After the wolves living inside were cleared away, they have been using this place as their den.

But as luck would have it, Roland seemed fine before and summoned a few Rune Bears. As long as they did not harm his own people who had the golden blessing, he allowed them to move around within the territory of the Golden Federation.This rune bear discovered this cave when it smelled the bloody smell of wolf carcasses while passing by.

Then there was a fight with the people who stayed behind, but under the huge combat power of the rune bears, the "bandits" who stayed behind unfortunately became the rune bears' rations.The three "bandits" who escaped before did not know that the cave had long been occupied by rune bears. When they came back, they prepared to notify the remaining members to move their base, but they bumped into the rune bears that had just woken up.

Just when Harold was passing by the Rune Bear, the big guy suddenly reached out and grabbed the corpses of the three unlucky "bandits" and pulled their bodies with broken bones toward him.

"Don't worry, we are not interested in your winter rations." Harold said as he came to a rocky protrusion, which was used by the "bandits" as a place to store things. There were several letters on it.

The rune bear snorted and ignored the group of soldiers who entered its lair. A muffled snoring sound immediately came from its throat.

Harold picked up a letter and checked that there was no danger, then opened it and read it with the faint light of the torch in the cave.

[The great Emperor of Judah personally stated:

We have sneaked into the territory of the Golden Federation as you asked, disguised as bandits.Next, we will follow your instructions and hunt down the untouchables who defected from the Charles Empire.This group of untouchables dare to leave Your Majesty's majesty and throw themselves into the arms of another country. It is an unforgivable crime.Please rest assured, Your Majesty, all traitors will die.

In addition, we have discovered many mixed-breed infants in the Golden Federation that are suitable for training into dead warriors, as well as white rhinoceros orcs that are suitable for use as valuable medicine.Especially for the latter, a person who lurked among these untouchables reported that after the White Rhinoceros orcs received the so-called blessings from the Golden Federation, the effect of using them as medicine became more significant and could even extend their lives.

These valuable untouchables were refugees from other countries and were a godsend for Charles's empire.Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will bring these refugees who are of great use to the empire back to the empire and let them use their lives to create value for the Charles Empire.

your ever faithful

Baron Skip Berg]

After Harold read it, he kept the envelope expressionlessly, stuffed it into the lining under his armor, and led his team of exiled soldiers out of the cave.

The two Pegasus knights who had been circling in the sky for reconnaissance immediately landed and joined a team led by another homeless knight who was ambushing near the entrance of the cave to come to Harold.

After Harold briefly explained the situation to them, the homeless knight who came to help led his team to continue the previous patrol mission. Lucia and Lamia led her five soldiers to search for any remnants in this area. , she herself immediately returned to Pulin City and handed the letter in her hand to Neferi Lu, who also returned to the city.

Although the Storm King did not get angry after reading the letter, the corner of the conference table that was crushed by her showed how angry the female warrior was inside.

"Leave the minimum number of soldiers to defend the city. Oleg, you and I will personally lead the team to kill these bastards who have lurked in the Charles Empire. Ingwill, you are responsible for everything in the city." Neferi Lu gave the order.

Ingwill, who has a relatively calm personality, did not dissuade him after hearing the order from his Storm King. Instead, he made a suggestion: "Sir Storm King, I believe that the soldiers of Pling City alone cannot thoroughly investigate these matters." Enemies lurking in scattered pieces. If the enemy is really from the Charles Empire as stated in the letter, then Pulin City was originally a large city in the Charles Empire, and the environment around the city must be more familiar to the enemy. Because I want to propose to you Requesting assistance from Moren City and Stonewell City."

After hearing this, Neferi Lu nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, Ingwill. I will arrange for soldiers to ask Malkit and Edgar for assistance."

Ingwill said: "One more thing, Lord Storm King. Since this group of enemies is eyeing the civilian villages that have defected to Pling City, I think that in this emergency situation, in addition to hunting down the enemies, It is more appropriate to temporarily place these people in the city first, and then escort them back after the enemy is eliminated. There are currently many idle houses in Pulin City, which are enough to accommodate the surrounding villagers outside the city. Of course, if some villagers are unwilling, since they take the initiative If we refuse the Golden Federation’s help, then we naturally don’t need to care about the safety of these people and just let them fend for themselves.”

At the same time, Oleg also said: "Not only that. We can also place a reward at the Nimgefu Arena not far from Pulin City, so that those local gladiators who are barely strong enough can take risks. They also helped to eliminate enemy bandits. These locals may have information that we don’t know, and they may be very effective in suppressing bandits.”

"Okay, then do what you said. Without further ado, let's go and count the soldiers first." Nephili Lu agreed to Ingvir's proposal.

After confirming the action plan, the gate of Pulin City, which had been transformed into a semi-military fortress, suddenly opened. Neferi Lu led Oleg, 15 other homeless knights, and [-] exiled soldiers towards the city in a mighty manner. Villages are scattered around the city.

At this time, it happened to be the time when the army, ordered by the Emperor of Judah, rushed to the Offa Council to provide verbal "support".

The location that this army arrived at was very delicate. All the way to the north was the territory of the Offa Council, but less than half a day to the west was the city of Pulin.

If Roland observed the camps of this army and the clothes of the soldiers, he would find that they were three mixed armies, numbering as many as [-]. They were not at all an ordinary army sent by the Emperor of Judah.

Oh, not really, it's just that ordinary legion mixed in between the other two elite legions.

At this time, in the central tent of this army, three legion commanders were roasting a campfire, eating cooked food and drinking hot wine, communicating with each other with flushed faces.

"Hiccup -! Come on, brothers, keep drinking!" One of the ordinary-looking legion commanders' cheeks and nose became red from drinking. Although he looked drunk, he still raised his glass and pointed it towards the other two sides. The seated colleague invited him to drink together.

He is Eskar, the commander of the [No. 13 Legion], and does not have a special legion number.This [No. 13 Legion] is an ordinary legion sent by the Emperor of Judah to the Offician Council in order to gain some advantage on the road.

The other two legions are Captain Freda of the [Goshawk Legion] and Arturo [Black Panther Legion].

The two legion commanders also had smiles on their faces and exchanged glasses with Eskar, talking to each other.

"Oh, originally, I felt sorry for His Majesty when he sent me a legion. You must know that the army of the Golden Federation is something that my little No. 13 legion cannot afford to offend. But fortunately, His Majesty changed his mind and returned I've sent two of your elite combatants here. Brother, I won't say anything else, the credit for lying down is all yours, I just need to follow you two and drink some soup."

Freda and Arturo looked at each other unexpectedly. The former smiled and had a drink with Eskar: "Brother Eskar, you can see clearly. I used to go out with other legions to rob each other. Credit. It turns out that it’s good for you, just say you can drink soup and you’ll be full.”

"Hey, you can get as much credit as you have the ability. As far as the quality of the top soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion..." Eskar waved his hand: "It's difficult. So the two brothers can share some soup with me and let me go back and compete. It's enough that it's not too ugly when it's bad. Oh, this Lulan Chamber of Commerce's wine is really strong, and it's really fun to drink! Come on, let's leave one of the three brothers!"

Just when the three legion commanders were drinking happily, a soldier with the national emblem of the Charles Empire and a goshawk tattooed on his armor came in and said something in Freda's ear.

Freda, who was slightly drunk, immediately became sober, and Arturo also became sober after seeing Freda's appearance, as if the two of them had not drank much wine at all.

Only Eskar still looked drunk. He looked at his colleagues who were sitting upright, and his head numbed by alcohol made him smile: "Oh oh oh, is it time for the dancers to perform next? "

Freda showed a smiling expression and said: "Don't worry, brother Eskar. I ran into a little trouble and there is something I want to tell you."

Eskar burped, and asked with a big tongue: "W-burp...what's the matter? Just say, as long as I can do something, I will help! I must help my brother." ,Brother, find your place."

Freda said: "Actually, it was not the Emperor of Judah's order that Commander Arturo and I came out this time."

As soon as he said these words, Eskar's brain thundered, and he froze on the spot.

Chapter 3: Betrayed? Yes.

"This time Commander Arturo and I came out not under the orders of the Emperor of Judah."

Because of these words, Eskar's drunken appearance instantly froze, and even his cloudy eyes became clearer.

He smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Both brothers, please don't be joking. How could your elite regiments go out without permission without the order of the Emperor of Judah? You can't say this nonsense. If you are detained by the judges of the Tribunal, If the army hears this, he will go to jail."

"Supervisor?" A strange smile appeared on Freda's face, and then she clapped her hands, and several people walked in outside the tent.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" three people.

Eskar's heart brightened, and his hand fell to the ground as soon as he let go.

Because the people who were kneeling on the ground and whose hands and feet were tied and unable to move were also members of the Tribunal, and one of them was even the commander-in-chief sent by the Emperor of Judah this time.

"Remove all the strips of cloth and let the commander of our No. 13 Corps understand what happened." Freda looked at Eskar's appearance, sneered, and waved his hand to order.

"Freida, Arturo, how dare you betray the Emperor of Judah!!" The General Superintendent roared immediately after being taken down by the people behind him, then turned to the three young members of the Tribunal and cursed: "And you , three traitors of the Tribunal!! Believers who betrayed our Lord will be judged by the Lord, and you will live in painful torture for your whole life!"

Eskar still didn't understand what was happening, and stood up suddenly, his face pale and trembling.His legs were also trembling, and he didn't know whether to run away or what to do. He could only spin in circles near the luxurious seat, his hands moving behind his back as if out of anxiety.

"Ha, what are you afraid of, brother Eskar? Didn't you say you wanted to follow Arturo and me to drink some soup?" Freda smiled and waved to him.

Eskar hesitated for a moment, and then declined politely: "Well, I don't think I'm thirsty. It doesn't matter if I don't drink this soup."

"Hmph" Arturo slammed his plain knife with the word "Cang Ying" engraved on it on the table, looked at Eskar with a cold look and snorted coldly.

"Eskar, if you are still loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, don't join them!!" the General Superintendent scolded angrily again.

Then the commander-in-chief's mouth was stuffed with cloth again by the person behind him.

Eskar's facial features gathered together, and he cried in his heart: Oh, aren't you trying to kill me?

He looked at the two army commanders, Freda and Arturo, who were showing murderous intent, and said with a wry smile: "You two brothers have worked really hard to get me, a useless army commander, to join your ranks. Okay, a legend can't defeat you. Two legends, not to mention that you two are from an elite legion, so you are much more powerful than the commander of an ordinary legion like me. I agree to join you."

After hearing Eskar's answer, the commander-in-chief's face turned red and he cursed inaudible words.

Freda then showed a satisfied smile and said: "That's right, Brother Eskar. President Lu Yi often said: He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Brother Eskar, you are also a person who can judge the situation. . Such people will live a long time."

Eskar asked: "Is it possible that the two new masters who are loyal behind the scenes are the president of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce - Lu Yi Stacey?"

"Yes, hey, it's not that we are disloyal to the Emperor of Judah, but the soldiers under our two men have to eat." Freda showed a heartbroken expression: "Brother Eskar, you know it, right? After the empire went to war, not only did our military expenditures not arrive as promised, but very little was deducted by the group of relatives of the royal family."

Eskar was stunned. He seemed to have heard other regiment commanders with higher numbers mention this matter.

However, the legions numbered after the Tenth Legion did not have the opportunity to go to war. Eskar, who did not have much military expenditure, did not notice this change.

But at this moment, he could only echo what Fu Leida said: "There is such a thing."

Freda shrugged: "This man wants to eat, and all my soldiers are hungry. We have to be humiliated by the royal family and say that we are just poor. But at this time, Ms. Lu Yi suddenly appeared and not only gave us enough Our military expenditure is several times higher than before in terms of quantity. Brother Eskar, what would you choose if it were you?"

Eskar curled his lips and said, "Then I will definitely choose Ms. Lu Yi."

Then he frowned and said: "But the quality of the soldiers in my No. 13 Legion is far less elite than the soldiers under your two men. What if Ms. Lu Yi doesn't like my people? Can you two brothers Can you give me a nice word?"

Freda smiled and said: "Brother Eskar, don't worry. We don't know anything else about Ms. Lu Yi, but she is absolutely generous to her own people."

"That's good, that's good." Eskar agreed, and at the same time looked at the general general who was struggling towards him with wide eyes as if he was guilty and scared.

Freda naturally saw Eskar's expression, smiled and said: "But Ms. Lu Yi's money did not come from the strong wind. If you say you want to join her, she will give it to you. If you want to join us, you naturally need to submit a certificate of name." .”

After Arturo heard Freda say this, he took out an ordinary knife from his waist and threw it in front of Eskar.

Eskar was frightened by the knife next to his feet and took a few steps back, causing Freda and others in the tent to burst into laughter.

The commander of the No. 13 Legion swallowed his saliva and asked with an ugly face: "W-what does this mean?"

Freda sneered and pointed at the three generals: "Kill these three, and then hand over the soldier talisman of the No. 13 Legion on your body. We will recognize that you have truly joined our camp."

The bodies of the three Tribunal members who were forced to kneel on the ground seemed to be twisting and struggling.

Eskar's throat was dry and sore, but it was unclear whether it was physical thirst caused by drinking too much alcohol or mental thirst due to psychological stress.

It's okay to kill three members of the Tribunal. If you hand over the military symbols... then it won't be certain whether you will still be the commander of the No. 13 Legion.

The atmosphere in the tent was solemn.

After a long while, Eskar sighed and picked up the knife on the ground. Then he took out a delicate jade-carved talisman from his body and threw it towards Freda. He walked heavily towards the three members of the Tribunal who were kneeling on the ground.

The commander-in-chief's eyes were bloodshot, and his Adam's apple was crawling as if he was insulting and cursing Eskar.The two supervisors beside him were equally indignant, but the three of them were suppressed by the young man behind him who betrayed the Tribunal.

Freda stretched out her hand and easily caught the soldier talisman thrown by Eskar. After confirming that it was genuine, she put the jade stone into her arms. She and Arturo looked at Eskar with a smile on their faces as they walked towards the General Director and the others. Enjoy the show that is about to take place.

They were not afraid that Eskar would suddenly hurt someone with the knife in his hand. The knife didn't even have the most basic enchantment, and it didn't even have the possibility of breaking through their armor.They even only need to cover their palms with ether to easily crush this ordinary knife.

Of course, this knife can easily cut the neck of a person who cannot resist.

The three betrayed members of the Inquisition grabbed the chins of their former colleagues and tilted their heads back to expose their defenseless necks.

Eskar lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look at these three subordinates who were loyal to the Emperor of Judah.

The three betrayed members also looked at Eskar who came to them with ferocious smiles on their faces, waiting for his hands to be stained with the blood of "injustice" and "betrayal" and to become a person like them.

However, what these three members were waiting for was not Eskar's attack on the three tied people, but the grudge ether that suddenly appeared in front of them.

The minimum requirement for being able to become a legion commander is to become a strong man who has stepped into the legendary realm. I am afraid that the No. 13 legion is no exception to this, so Eskar is undoubtedly a legendary strong man.

Of course, his strength is definitely not as good as Freda and Arturo, but it is still easy to kill three unsuspecting traitors who do not even have epic strength.

The thick vindictive ether shattered the three betrayed members of the Tribunal, and at the same time, a cold light flashed in Eskar's hand and cut off the magic rope binding the three supervisors.

"Master General, kill them first!" Eskar shouted loudly, showing a completely different expression of cowardice from before, as if he wanted to eat Freda and Arturo alive.

Freda did not show any surprise. He and Arturo drew out their weapons in unison and pointed at the four unarmed people on the opposite side and said: "Ms. Lu Yi has already guessed this situation, Eskar."

Eskar sneered and said, "Did you guess this situation?"

While speaking, an abnormal light suddenly lit up in Freda's arms. The source of the light was the military talisman that Eskar had thrown to him before.

As early as when he saw the three generals standing up after being escorted in, he was fiddling with the soldier symbols to inject unstable fighting spirit into them.

"you……!"

Freda's expression changed, and he reacted quickly to throw the soldier talisman, but the soldier talisman exploded faster, and it exploded before he even touched it.

"Oh!"

The explosion of the soldier talisman will naturally not kill a legendary warrior who reacts, but what Eskar wants is the moment when the soldier talisman explodes and distracts the opponent.

You must know that the person on his side in the tent at this time was not only a legend, Eskar, but also the general general sent by the Tribunal.

The moment Freda was distracted, he was subdued by the General Superintendent. At the same time, the other two members of the Tribunal quickly tied Freda with the magic rope that bound them before.

Arturo, who wanted to help on the other side, was naturally intercepted by Eskar at the risk of his life, preventing him from interfering with the situation on the General Commander's side.

"Brother Arturo, don't even think about resisting. Just tell me everything you know, and maybe you can save your family." Eskar advised with a pale face and panting heavily.

His right shoulder was cut with a bone-deep wound by the knife in Arturo's hand, and his entire right arm was left hanging from his body.

However, Arturo himself was slapped on the chest by Eskar. Although he was protected by a breastplate, judging from his own expression, it was not much better.

"Just let me stop him. Eskar, you go and treat your arm first." The general general came to Eskar with a gloomy expression and said: "Leave the interrogation to me. Come here with us. The Shadow Thorn has gone to report the news of these people’s betrayal to His Majesty Judah.”

Then Director-General Jun said with a slightly more relieved expression: "Fortunately, His Majesty Judah still has loyal ministers like you, so he was able to thwart the other party's conspiracy at this critical juncture."

Eskar was a little weak due to excessive blood loss and said: "Although I don't have any skills, I relied on medicinal materials to advance into the legend. But there is one thing I am very clear about, and that is loyalty to the emperor."
