Chapter 257: Accident in accident

In the era of the Karen Kingdom, although the hierarchy between the various classes is clear, it does not mean that a newcomer will be respected immediately after gaining "identity".
The fear of "aristocracy" does not come from the literal itself. To put it plainly, the most fundamental fear comes from violence: the soldiers and power in the hands of the lord. This is what makes people fear. Like the Count Owen who has died, his identity is hereditary, and the family has continued for more than 230 years ... and the accumulation of 230 years, the connections, forces, and resources behind it are as common as mountains. Who has the courage to treat lightly in front of people?
In contrast, Owen's "Count" title is nothing more than a symbol.
Lesley's daring to provoke Soderor does not mean that he is not afraid of the nobility, he just has no fear of Soderor's "power".
The "Wolverine Mercenary Regiment" was established twenty-seven years ago, and its industry is spread across the territory of Everta. Its heritage is not inferior to some aristocrats, and it is even better than Baron Soderol. Although the mercenary regiment did not have enough profit chains to make money like large commercial banks, Leslie knew that these industries under his own hands were in a critical period of "transition" ...
This time the "accidental death" of Viscount Tranka was giving Leslie an opportunity to transform the "Mercenary" into a "Chamber of Commerce"
He wants to develop more interest chains, and gradually develop the mercenary regiment into his own personal soldiers, in order to maintain the "interest pyramid" that will be formed next, and at the same time make his forces into a huge group comparable to the nobility .
For Leslie, who is not literate, it is natural that he cannot come up with such a "development strategy". If he is inspired, the pharmacist who works with them will really let him " "Ambition" inflated people.
Prior to this, his concept of "earning money" was nothing more than a set of bone snakes, but now with the goal, Leslie feels full of energy, and even has a sense of superiority to surpass the aristocracy.
"Continue shouting and let that Sodroll come out and negotiate with me."
Leslie confidently arranged the task for the deputy, and he stood behind the team, looking at the ruined manor in front of him, with a playful smile on his face ...
"Master, I just heard that the fighting the other day seemed to be very brave and killed many people ..."
"Oh, what then?"
Faced with a kind reminder from his men, Leslie still had that expression, turned his head, and said lightly, "Killing a lot of people means I dare not move him? Did you see this manor? Why did I come here to force him? Negotiate with me? Because I had people come here to survey in advance, there were not many people under him at all. "
The voice of the leader of the regiment brought a pair of victories in his grasp, "Just rely on dozens of soldiers to control the town? Doing a few patrols will annex everything? This baron is really too tender, you see, he can Six talents came to the door in an emergency. How can they be strong? Can they stop me from bullying him? "
"The leader is really wise"
The mercenaries who thought Leslie had ventured into it were convinced, and they could not help but develop some admiration ... what if they had such a clever leader?
The sun is setting, the snow has stopped, the gloomy sky is gradually clearing, the gusts brought by the cold air have already been winter and cold, and the moonlight is still good under the reflection of the ground, so at this time Leslie even You can see the silhouettes in front of the window on the second floor of the manor house.
Soon, the sound of the door opening of the manor house made him raise his head. The two scouts raised their torches to light. By the light of fire, Leslie saw several figures rushing out: an old man and a nobleman. The young man in clothing, a guy in a cape and hiding his face under the hood walked in front, and behind ...
Lesley's eyes lit up with covetous light for a moment--because one of the two people walking behind was one of his pastors, Kasha
And the other with a short bow was also a figure of Na Na, who looked at his belly burning.
"Well, it seems good luck today."
He said to himself, and then waved his hands, letting the mercenaries hulah to start the formation, took a bold step forward, and said loudly: "Baron Soderol, my deputy commander was yours. The patrol has fought, aren't you going to explain to me about such a thing? "
Negotiate with me if you give or not, and wait to be slaughtered.
Lesley thought with pride that Sodroll did not speak, but the old man suddenly said, "What qualifications do you have to speak here?"
"Yo, where's the old bone? Didn't have enough time to run in front of our commander?"
The mercenaries around him laughed, Lesley was displeased, and he couldn't bother to pay attention to John's housekeeper, and turned to Soderlor.
The few people standing in front of the manor didn't have any extra looks. Roddy was not interested in dealing with this matter at this time. He took the short bow and the quiver and walked out here, first to prevent accidents, but to see John Butler's approach-because the old man's attitude directly represents how much Angmar values ​​himself.
Nata followed Rodi as a student, and Akasha was called by Rodi to be insured-in the event of a possible outbreak of conflict, a strong priest stood behind, and the team's spirit was absolutely different.
At this time, the "protagonist" Soderol was not the puppet that Roddy put in front of the stage.He was very clear about his responsibilities, and had a flexible mind. In fact, from the practical point of view, the other party ’s approach actually represents the views of other forces in the territory: he has no qualifications, no money, and no potential. In Hollier City, it may be fake, but it will be bound to be elsewhere Binding feet.
All he has to do is fight back fiercely, and kill the chicken and tamarin
"Admire me? Actually, I admire you even more." Sodroll shrugged, "I guess you are the first person to dare to speak with John Butler."
The mercenaries didn't know anything about the name of the rotten street "John", but the word "housekeeper" was automatically ignored ... the aristocratic housekeeper's territory was so bullish that moving out to scare people was an old-fashioned way.
Therefore, Leslie had no fear, and felt that it was necessary to use some means to raise his hand. With one finger in front, he was about to order the mercenary to move forward, but found that the hooded young man in the front team suddenly lifted up. When he reached his head, he reached out and pulled out a short bow.
This action instantly made the atmosphere tense. Even Soderauer did not understand what Roddy wanted. He thought that this guy was going to use direct force to solve the problem, but then found that Roddy did not look at these mercenaries at all, but took off his pockets. Hat, looking up at the sky solemnly.
"Nothing ..."
Roddy's words and actions made Leslie immediately think that the other party was playing tricks and procrastinating. He opened his mouth to laugh at a few words, but the next moment, he stopped for a moment because of the other party's actions ...
Because the young man in front of him bowed the bow and pulled the bow string in half a second, and he was ready to shoot.
But his target was not Leslie or any mercenary--everyone can see that Roddy now pointed his short bow at the sky, and when he looked down, they realized that the sky above him was in the sky. , Actually hovering three birds ...
They do not fly like ordinary birds without a head, but fly at the same speed and at the same height and in a circular arc.
Because today is the night of the full moon, and the light of the moonlight and snow gives high visibility around, so even mercenaries with poor eyesight can clearly see the three black birds with strange luster on the sky— It is not surprising that there are flying birds in winter, but flying in this form in the dark is really counterintuitive, and even the slowest mercenaries have noticed their strangeness.
Mercenaries with better eyesight can even see the flashing red light in the opponent's eyes
"This--"
At this moment, whether it is Leslie, a well-informed man, John's housekeeper who is very angry, or Soderlor who is about to step on someone, he looks up at the three circling monsters above his head. upset.
However, the fastest responding Roddy has not given them time to think, almost the next moment when he raised his short bow and aimed, he shouted at Akasha next to him: "The Holy Light twice in a row"
"Nata, help me deal with the one on the left"
A second later, Roddy's arrow flew out first, followed by the golden light cast by Akasha's hand.
The dark night is the best background to set off the "Holy Light" skill, and the white ground makes the sudden flash of light have incomparable brightness-Akasha actually doesn't know why Rhodes cast this Holy Light. Because its role is to "light", the most used occasions in certain religious ceremonies, if it is said that lethality, can only cause burns to a specific race such as "dead".
But Roddy's words were commands. As a follower, Akasha would only choose to "obey".
When the dazzling light came on, the three big birds about 40 meters above the ground suddenly flickered, and then the long arrow smashed through the body of one of them, causing them to fall without suspense. ground…
Roddy's arrow was too fast, and he aimed at the next target with almost no pause--he ignored the mercenaries who were blinded by the Holy Light in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and ranked second in Akasha. The "Holy Light" fired again at the moment
The two remaining black birds have begun to dodge. Sudden dives made it escape from Roddy's arrows. The flight trajectory has just been determined, and Nata's arrows have followed, successfully "replenishing the knife", smoothly. Shoot it
From the beginning to the end, in just four seconds, only one of the three birds on the head was left, and the only one that had flew away with all its strength, almost immediately separated from Roddy and Nata's. Offensive range-Nata raises her bow and shoots, but is blocked by Roddy's hand: "Enough, I deliberately let it go ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This sentence makes Nata unclear, Wood Elf Night Vision The ability is very strong, so she clearly recognized that the black bird was the "blood crow" that had previously attacked the clan. Since the other party was an undead unit, why not all shot down
However, before such a problem could be considered, the screams and exclamations rang out among the mercenaries caused the conflicting crowds to instantly shift their attention from above the sky to the ground.
After readjusting to the dim light, all the talents found that a mercenary behind Leslie was already lying on the ground at this time, his face and fingers were as if burned by the flames ...
Rody frowned, and suddenly realized that the motive of these mercenaries to come here may not be as simple as imagined.
