Lord Highlander

After Earl Petunia absconded in fear of crime, the lord's private army of Yezipias Manor fell into an embarrassing situation.

Logically speaking, they should be regarded as rebels, but when the heavy armored infantry regiment occupied the manor, these lord's private troops very wisely chose to give up resistance, allowing Suldak to take over the manor very smoothly.

At present, the question facing Suldak is how to deal with the nearly thousand lord's private army.

In the past few days, many private soldiers have secretly left the barracks one after another, and the remaining private soldiers of the lords in the camp are less than half.

Suldak was not prepared to incorporate them into his lord army. These lord armies had weak fighting will, so he didn't feel at ease taking these soldiers to the battlefield.

So Suldak started to dismantle the garrison in the manor on the second day after surveying the territory near Yezipias Manor. He gave every soldier here a travel fee and sent them home.

Surdak only left a 15-member security team in the manor. This security team was not only responsible for maintaining the security of the manor, but also regularly inspected the boundaries of the manor.

At noon, Suldak received a group of magicians from the Law Enforcement Team. The leader of the magicians was Arberk, the head of the Law Enforcement Team of the Ruyt Magic Union.

This is a middle-aged magician. He has fluffy black hair and piercing eyes, which can be seen to have strong spiritual power.

Magician Aberk brought a total of seven magicians to Yezipias Manor this time, and they have lived here for three days. Yesterday, they heard that Suldak had rushed to the manor, so they came to visit. Unfortunately, Su Erdak went to inspect the border of this territory, but failed to see him.

The magicians passed through the courtyard still smelling of earth, and walked into a living room, only to see Suldak standing by the window of the living room, looking at the sea of ​​trees among the mountains in the distance.

Suldak turned around, raised his hand and made a 'please' gesture to these magicians.

These magicians all imitated the etiquette of the elves, put their right hands on their left shoulders, and lowered their heads slightly.

Magicians continue to use this way of saluting, probably because their spells are all evolved from the ancient Elvish language.

"Lord Earl Suldak, the great lord of the Ganbu plane, the hero of Mukuso, I am very glad to meet you here..." the leader of the law enforcement team, the magician Abuke, said respectfully to Suldak .

Suldak suddenly realized that standing in front of this group of ordinary magicians, he could actually pose as a superior.

"Mage Arberk, I am also very glad to meet you. Is there anything I can do to help?" Suldak asked with a smile.

Suldak walked to a set of sofas in the living room and motioned for the magicians to sit down and talk.

These mages all looked extremely young, and when they looked at Suldak, they almost all showed adoration on their faces.

"You have helped us a lot by informing us of what happened here in advance. It should be our duty to eliminate these black magicians. On behalf of the Ruyt Law Enforcement Group, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Arberk Magic The teacher said solemnly.

At this time, a maid came in from the outside with a tray, put eight cups of black tea in front of the magicians, and then retreated.

Then there was a chat, mainly around the abandoned mining area and Yezipias Manor.

Magician Aberk felt that the conversation was almost done, so he asked Suldak:

"I heard that you cut down a tree of desire in the research institute?"

Suldak put down the teacup in his hand and replied:

"It is true that when we attacked this research institute, we paid a very painful price. A total of thirty-five infantry soldiers died under this tree of desire."

"Sorry, this is really unfortunate news." Magician Arberk bowed his head quickly.

Suldak sat on the sofa, stroking the leather hilt of the broad sword, and said to the Arberk magician: "It is the responsibility of every soldier in the Grimm Empire to prevent the hell demons from entering the Roland continent, and it is also our honor. "

The magician of Abuke showed sincere eyes and said: "My lord, can you sell us some of the branches of the tree of desire and the blood spar that you have seized, and we are willing to buy some from you at the market price. Maybe you don't know much about it. These magic materials, in fact, this kind of wood monster material is very rare. But it has hallucinogenic and blood-sucking properties, and it is an important material for making illusion-like magic circles."

Although Suldak didn't understand the value of the tree of desire, he had a succubus by his side, which made him even know how many wives King Amozdan had...

That's why he made people dig out the roots of the tree of desire from under the altar.

Suldak smiled gently, and then said: "I really don't know much about these, but if you want to buy, I'm still willing to sell some. As for the price, we will use materials like Bena City The average transaction price in the past two years is determined..."

After chatting for a while, the group of magicians left the manor.

Suldak agreed to sell them the materials of the Tree of Desire, which made them very happy, but they were very disappointed without any friendship price. You must know that this rare wood-type monster material is sold in the magic market. It is very expensive, even this group of magicians who have never been short of money have to make careful calculations if they want to buy it.

...

After afternoon tea, Suldak brought Hathaway and Beatrice to the cave at the foot of the manor.

The heavy armored infantry regiment led by Edgar the Beard has been stationed here.

The black mages hanging on the crosses at the gate of the camp had disappeared. There were only a dozen or so wooden crosses standing there. Now they were connected to ropes by some soldiers, and some clothes were hung on them. It turned into a clothes drying field.

There were several large iron pots standing on the edge of the camp, in which steaming broth was boiling, and a few stick bones of unknown beasts came out of the cauldrons.

Many heavy armored infantry basked in the sun in the camp, and the whole barracks was full of life.

There are some swords and shields on the weapon rack in front of the tent that is set up, and some people are maintaining these weapons with grease.

Almost all the heavy armored infantry here knew Suldak. When the soldiers saw Suldak and Gulitum leading people into the camp, they all stood up and saluted Suldak.

Hathaway and Beatrice followed behind Suldak, looking around the barracks curiously, and the two maids quickly followed behind them.

Surdak just passed through the camp and did not stay in the camp.

Walking into the entrance of the cave at the foot of the mountain, torches need to be lit on the entrance of the cave. The wind blowing from the cave blows the flames of the pine torch loudly. You can even hear an echo when you speak.

The cave has been cleaned very clean. In some of the specially developed forehead stone rooms, there are only some wooden tables, wooden chairs, beds and the like left. The valuable things have been looted by the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment.

Suldak remembered that some books on black magic and religious beliefs were placed on the wooden shelves against the cave wall, but now they have been completely emptied.

Walking into the second spacious cave, all the altars inside have been dismantled, and the ruin-like stones are piled up like a hill. Several magicians from the Law Enforcement Corps are still doing the final search in the cave, and magic is still lit around them Lamp.

Usually, valuables are kept very secretively.

Seeing Suldak walking in, these magicians also saluted Suldak one after another.

Suldak took Hathaway and Beatrice around the ruins of the altar first, and described the scene of the battle in detail. Suldak rarely talked about the scene on the battlefield. Hearing that the tree of desire had instantly sucked the heavy armored infantry fighters tens of meters into mummies, his expression became a little unsightly.

Suldak took the two of them around the deepest dungeon of the research institute. The ventilation in the dungeon in the cave was even poorer. It originally exuded a strong stench. Right at the entrance of the dungeon, a group of people couldn't help it. Cover your mouth and nose.

This dungeon does not have any special instruments of torture. The black mages imprisoned the captured civilians here just to feed the tree of desire. Usually, they would not use other methods to torture and kill these civilians...

Hathaway and Beatrice just stood in the dungeon for a short while before they couldn't help running out.

So far, the visit to the mysterious Black Magic Priory Research Institute has been completed. This time Suldak came here in person to officially take over the Yezipias Manor. When the lord army here is completely dismissed, Suldak will To return to Ruyt City.

The heavy armored infantry battalion of Edgar the Beard is also planning to withdraw from Yezipias one after another. The soldiers of these heavy armored infantry regiments will be divided into three groups and return to Mukuso city in turn.

Hathaway and Beatrice decided to stay at the manor for three more days. They probably wanted to tidy up the courtyard at the manor so that they would not have to continue the current cleaning work when they came back next time.

On the way back to Ruyt City, Gulitham sat on the shelf of the magic caravan and yelled at Suldak: "This Earl Petunia is really a good person! He actually gave you such a large manor..."

Suldak sat in the carriage, looking at the mountains outside the window from time to time.

After receiving Baron Martino in the small town in the abandoned mining area, the group returned to Ruyt City.

...

Malakom's Thunder Rhino caravan stayed in Ruyt City for a week, and almost all the Thunder Rhino shelves were filled with parts from the steel workshop.

On a morning in early July, the caravan set off slowly with the melodious sound of horns.

These hill-like thunder rhinos finally left the city of Ruyt, and in the manor outside the city of Suldak, the most left was puddles of stool that were bigger than a double bed.

These Thunder Rhino feces almost piled up into a hill in the manor, and countless flies and dung-moving insects gathered on the dung hill.

According to Suldak's request, the excrement was piled up by a group of farmers to form a dung wall that was more than three meters high, ten meters wide, and two hundred meters long. A layer of plant ash and fine sand was sprinkled, but even this could not conceal the stench.

The housekeeper in the manor suggested to Suldak to hire some people to remove the dung wall, but Suldak said: "Just pile it there! It can be sold for a good price next spring..."
