Lord of War

"Why is this guy here!?" Seeing the situation at the city gate, Kristina's face showed confusion and shock. £∝,

But she is also a straightforward master, seeing that there is already a situation at the city gate, she immediately ran towards the city gate.

The people who entered the city were none other than Sean, Kozilek, Levi and Alisa.

Adroan is the end point of Sean's action plan this time. Here he will use the teleportation magic circle to carry out long-distance teleportation, trying to reach the northern lonely tower in the shortest possible time, because he has no extra time to go. wasted.

On the way to Adroan, Sean naturally had contact with several caravans.

From the mouths of these caravans, Sean learned that Emily had indeed encountered an assassination. Although I don't know the specifics of the operation, judging from the news from the caravan, it can hardly be called an assassination, but a naked assassination—according to the guard sent by the pope himself , lost two-thirds of the troops, and even seven or eight of the twelve God of War knights around Emily died, and Emily herself was also seriously injured.

At the last moment, it was still the foreshadowing left by Sean - the powerful Earl from Hecarom, Anton personally led an army to arrive, and finally repelled these assassins.

All the assassins, after the failure of the action plan, unexpectedly did not have any survivors - not that no prisoners were captured, but that these people were obviously prepared to sacrifice a long time ago, and everyone had prepared poison in advance. Immediately after being captured, he committed suicide by swallowing poison. From a certain point of view. This method is very similar to that of the Priory, the Temple of Shadows, and the League of Assassins.

But in the Northern Principality Federation, it is impossible for the Shadow Temple to infiltrate. Therefore, the biggest suspects fell on the Assassin Alliance and the Priory.

Xiao En didn't expect that the other party was so courageous. In order to cut off Emily, he actually teamed up with other forces—in fact, although Sean expected that the other party would probably send some loyal confidants to join forces with others, he never expected that there would be such a big battle. Not so light.

Because of this, Sean was a little worried about Emily's safety at this time.

He didn't want to have to re-select a saintess spokesperson now. Of course, the most important thing is that Emily hides the secret of a god-stealer. If this secret is discovered, he might become the public enemy of the entire continent—even if he has a relationship with Ess Winter. good. The goddess of ice, snow and winter will definitely not protect her, after all, Sean now has the ability to threaten her.

For various purposes,

Sean also had to speed up the pace of the trip and rushed to Adroan immediately.

If Sean knew that Adroan had implemented military control and closed the teleportation magic circle, Sean would definitely not enter here. In this regard, I have to admire Woody Valian's very clever means, and his control over the entire city of Adroan has reached an astonishing level. It was able to completely block the foreign intelligence information of the entire city, so that no one still knows that Adroan City is already in a closed state.

After entering the city, Sean couldn't help but frown.

Although he has never been to the city of Adroan, he is very concerned about this important city known as the [First Line of Defense on the East Wall]. Naturally, it has also been heard.

At least, according to the information Sean heard, the city should be very prosperous. The daily flow of people in and out should not be less than 10,000 units. Although there will be a large number of guards patrolling and maintaining law and order on the streets, the entire city will still show an indescribable vitality. This kind of vitality is the true expression of the four words "thriving" in this heavy city.

But now.

The street Xiao En saw was still full of people coming and going. Moreover, there were all kinds of shouts for business, but to Xiao En, it didn't look like it was full of vitality, but showed a lifeless look. It was as if there was a powerful shadow lingering in Adroan, making the people here a little breathless, and everyone seemed preoccupied and flustered.

Moreover, on the streets of the entire city, a large number of patrolling guards can be seen everywhere.

Especially at some main roads and streets, corresponding checkpoints and defense fortresses were arranged, and the whole city seemed to be arranged as a huge defense spider. As long as there is a problem in any place, there will be a number of soldiers around it to support immediately, and through the layout of the defensive fortress, it is also a defensive building that can be attacked and defended. It is impossible to break through easily. things.

After all, Sean is a person who has really experienced conquest on the battlefield, so when he saw this arrangement, he would not know that the city of Adroan entered military control.

He immediately felt a toothache and egg pain.

According to Miracle Continent's current "Teleportation Magic Circle Convention", if a city enters a state of military control, then the teleportation magic circle will be closed immediately. And the closure of a teleportation magic circle is tantamount to interrupting the function of all teleportation magic circles in the area formed by this node-in other words, if someone's teleportation destination is to go through the teleportation network of Adrian City If the magic circle node is teleported, the teleportation will fail this time, and the other party must detour to teleport, or re-select the teleportation target.

Sean began to wonder if he had used up all the luck in his life after obtaining the silver body.

First, he caused a lot of trouble in Martha City, causing him to have to redo his forward plan. It turned out that after more than half a month of travel, he found that the target city he had originally planned had actually entered a state of martial law, which meant that the teleportation magic circles in four or five surrounding cities were completely interrupted. If Sean wants to use the teleportation magic circle, he may have to continue northward.

This fact caused Sean to curse fiercely.

"Let's go." Sean waved his hand, turned around and left immediately.

"Go?" Levi froze for a moment, "Where are we going? Didn't we just enter the city?"

"There is no way. Military control is in place here, and the teleportation magic circle is closed. We can only go to other cities." Xiao En said helplessly, "Let's go. While it's still early in the sky, let's go on the road early, Maybe I can find a town to rest in time for nightfall, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll be sleeping in the wild.”

Levi and Alisa didn't know anything about the "Transportation Magic Circle Convention", and naturally they didn't know about it.

After all, it hasn't been long since the two came to the boundary, and there will be no military control on the floating island.

In fact, even the team that maintains law and order on the floating island is in charge of the Disciplinary Committee of the Floating Saint Academy. Of course, the top twelve families and those big families will naturally train a group of thugs, but these people are responsible for the safety of their respective families and manors. It cannot interfere with the daily operation of the entire floating island.

To put it simply, it is the difference between police and bodyguards.

So Levi and Alisa, don't know something like the "Transportation Magic Circle Convention", and even military control doesn't know what it means.

However, they still understand one thing, that is, if Sean is leaving here, the person responsible for protecting Sean's safety will naturally leave with him.

However, it is easy to enter the city and difficult to leave the city.

When Sean waited for the four of them to enter the city less than five minutes before turning around and trying to leave, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate immediately stopped them.

"What do you mean?" Sean frowned slightly, and there was anger in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. Sir, Adroan City has now implemented a temporary control law because of the influx of heretics." A middle-aged man who seemed to be the captain said in a low-pitched voice, "After everyone enters the city You are not allowed to leave at will.... If you want to leave the city, you must fill out an application form and have a guarantor to guarantee you. You are allowed to leave after passing the review."

"It took less than five minutes for the four of us to enter the city, and we didn't even officially enter the city. We just stood here at the city gate for a while, do you think we can take people away?" Sean said angrily. Then he opened his mouth and shouted, "Do you have any brains? Or are your eyes blind?"

Facing Xiao En's anger, the middle-aged officer still said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry sir, heretics are very cunning and weird, and no one can guarantee that there is something wrong among you, so if you want to leave the city, Please fill in the form first, conduct relevant review, and then leave after confirming that there is no problem."

Xiao En didn't know that this was the latest order from the City Lord's Mansion half an hour ago.

If Sean had entered the city half an hour earlier, the officer would not have talked to Sean about filling out the application form, but would have simply refused.

It was not that no one had incited and stormed the city gate before, trying to cause a bloody conflict, forcing Woody Wylan to let it go under the pressure of public opinion.

But among the nobles in the Northern Principality Federation who can get the prefix "strength", which one is the simple and easy one?

Without hesitation, Woody took the order to let the [Wairan Cavalry Corps] take action, and immediately settled the bloody conflict completely, even Woody took action himself. Killed more than a dozen adventurers and mercenaries, and forcibly confiscated and disbanded three caravans, and arrested all the guards, business leaders and others of these caravans. Means to prove the determination of Adroan City.

So, naturally no one would dare to make trouble.

After ordinary adventurers and mercenaries entered the city, they found that they wanted to turn around and leave like Sean, but after being surrounded by the [Wyern Cavalry Corps], they could only give up by force. Out of town. Here in the Northern Principality Federation, some nobles can be offended, even if they are killed, but some nobles cannot cause conflicts no matter what.

Woody Wylan is undoubtedly one of the nobles who cannot cause any conflicts.

The title of Marquis of Strength is no joke.

Once any conflict arises, whether it is to maintain the "strength" prefix name or to protect the face of the family, these nobles will dispatch a large number of troops to hunt and encircle and suppress, and it may be an endless war.

Although Xiao En would not be afraid of this powerful marquis if he really let go of his hands and feet and started killing, but it would undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary troubles. So if the problem can be solved by non-violent means. Sean naturally hopes to solve the problem by non-violent means.

At this time, following the actions of the middle-aged officer. Soldiers began to assemble in several defensive fortresses around them, and formed a square formation to advance gradually.

This is a very clever means of psychological suppression.

Usually adventurers and mercenaries seldom face off against the army. And the murderous intent of those real powerhouses will naturally not be low. Maybe they are not the opponents of adventurers and mercenaries in fighting alone, but once they form an army, their aura is enough to deter ordinary adventurers and mercenaries. Coupled with the momentum created by striding forward, and the surrounding momentum formed by the joint advancement of multiple phalanxes around, it is easier to defeat the psychological defense of ordinary adventurers and mercenaries.

This method may be feasible to deal with ordinary people.

But it is obviously impossible to deal with Sean.

How come Levi and Alisa are also strong in the upper sanctuary, and they also served as disciplinary committee members on the floating island. They have been in charge of security patrol work, and have fought with many criminals and seen blood. How could these two people be intimidated by such arrogance.

As for Kozilek, at this moment, a look of inexplicable meaning also flashed in his eyes - for him, everything in these worlds is food. Of course, Kozilek still seemed a little disdainful of the soldiers around him, because their fire of life was too weak, no matter how large it was, it still couldn't compare to a real low-ranking sanctuary powerhouse—even if the momentum of these people It is powerful enough to be a fatal threat to the lower sanctuary powerhouses. But Kozilek's calculation method didn't look at it that way.

He is typically quality over quantity.

Of course, in the absence of quality, it is also allowed to use quantity to make up the number.

Sean?

This guy is typically fearless.

Not to mention that there are two high-level sanctuary powerhouses around him, plus a legendary peak, even without these powerhouses. After all, he is also a person who has experienced big scenes, so how could he be intimidated by the momentum of these soldiers. Even if he is alone, he is absolutely sure that he can rush out of the city. So naturally, these people will not be taken seriously.

However, this middle-aged officer is obviously not an ordinary person.

When they saw that the momentum created by mobilizing several surrounding troops failed to frighten these people. He realized that the people in front of him might not be ordinary people, so he secretly made a few movements with his hands behind his back.

soon. The city gate of Adro Anton began to close, and some people even started to contact the city lord's mansion.

Seeing this scene, Sean's expression changed slightly.

But after a slight change, Sean's expression became unusually gloomy, "You guys are forcing me."

"Sir, please cooperate with our work." The middle-aged officer still said the same thing.

But in the face of the aura that Xiao En began to exude, the middle-aged officer also began to feel strong pressure, which made him feel shocked in his heart. His strength is already at the pinnacle of gold, and he is now trying to find a way to break through to the sanctuary. Although he is not good at personal force in the army, he is still a mid-level commander. What kind of big scene has he not seen?

In terms of ability to withstand stress, it is naturally not inferior to ordinary people.

But in front of Xiao En, he felt as if his shoulders were against a mountain, not only made him a little out of breath, but even faintly showed signs of kneeling, how could he not be surprised? It's just that in front of so many subordinates, he had to hold on even if he couldn't, so his face quickly became extremely pale, and there was even a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, obviously he had suffered some internal injuries.

"Looking for death!" Sean's face finally turned a little angry.

In the Federation of the Northern Principalities, Sean has already exercised restraint with all his instincts along the way. If it was changed to the Southern Continent, Sean would have already started killing. However, a series of unsatisfactory situations, coupled with being chased by people and hearing about Emily's big problems, finally made Sean's pent-up anger reach a critical point, and it was about to explode completely at this time.

"What are you doing!" A clear shout sounded from behind Xiao En and the others.

Hearing a slightly familiar voice, Sean's face froze for a moment, thinking that he couldn't be so unlucky, right?

At this moment, how can there be any anger.

Jane felt a chill in her heart.

Turning around, she saw Christina walking quickly with a gloomy face.

"Damn it!" Sean immediately cursed again, "Why did I meet this crazy woman here?"

Bewoody Valian didn't want to see the people from the Peace Council.

Even Sean. Also not very willing to see these lunatics.

Because countless facts have proved that as long as there is something to do with these lunatics. There were no good results-the first time Sean met Christina, he tricked the other party into signing an agreement with him. I sent information on a stronghold of Deaththorn in exchange for the other party's non-interference in Ryan's annexation of Bion; but I didn't expect that this result would lead to Deaththorn's crazy revenge, so Sean had to do it with Christina. second deal.

Originally, when he came to the Northern Principality Federation this time, Sean woke up his spirits. Naturally, he didn't want to have any entanglements with Christina or other members of the Peace Council. And in Sean's view, it has been more than a year since he told Christina before, logically speaking, he should have withdrawn from the North Principality Federation long ago. Seeing Christina's figure at this moment, and the fact that Adroan, the middle-aged officer, had mixed with infidels, he immediately knew that the matter of the Peace Council coming to the Northern Principality Federation to wipe out the infidels had not been completely resolved.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help cursing again, "A bunch of trash. It's been almost a year, and the matter hasn't been resolved, but the target has been let go."

Of course, these words, Sean just cursed silently in his heart, saying it in front of Christina, Sean didn't want to ask for trouble.

The middle-aged officer had just escaped from Xiao En's pressure, and when he saw Kristina walking towards him, his face was depressed again.

Of course he didn't know who this woman was.

It is because of this woman. This has led to the current state of martial law in the city of Adroan, and even the entire [Wayer Ann Cavalry Corps] has to send a large number of soldiers to follow this crazy woman to wipe her buttocks and solve a bunch of troubles caused by her. trouble. So for Christina, forget about this middle-aged officer. People in the entire city of Adroan will not have any good feelings.

But after the depression, when the middle-aged officer looked at Xiao En and the others, he felt a little dark in his heart.

He is very clear. The reason for the outbreak of the first bloody conflict was that this woman had killed several people who wanted to rush out of the city.

At this time, Xiao En and the others were obviously going to rush out of the city, and the middle-aged officer was ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. I just thought that after a while, I was waiting for someone to wipe this crazy woman's ass again. The complexion of the middle-aged officer is really not getting better, especially since he can tell at a glance that Xiao En and the others are probably of extraordinary strength. It is inevitable that the army should cooperate with this woman to siege and kill the four of them. This conflict will probably kill many brothers today.

"My lord, these four people are trying to charge the city." Facing Christina's loud questioning, the middle-aged officer still maintained his neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

"Oh?" Christina raised her brows, then turned her head and glanced at Sean, with curiosity in her eyes, "Why did you come here?"

Hearing the familiarity in Christina's voice, the middle-aged officer couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

No, the script shouldn't be played like this!

What about sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight?

Sean is such a smart person, he wanted to answer what Kristina said, but when he saw the slightly absent-minded look of this middle-aged officer, he snorted coldly, "What? You want to see me and sister Christina A conflict?...Could it be that a conflict between me and Sister Christina is something you would like to see?"

Hearing Sean's words, Christina's face also became a little angry.

Turning her head, she stared at the middle-aged officer with an unusually cold look, as if she was looking at a dead person.

"Kristina, I'm very curious, what exactly did you do to make so many people hate you, and even want to see you die." Sean is a master who is afraid of chaos in the world, so it is natural to start at this time. Fanning the flames, "If you and I didn't know each other today, I'm afraid we would have fought by now....I have to wonder if you were used as a knife once before."

Hearing Sean's words, Christina's face became even colder after thinking about it for a while.

The last time she killed someone, it was also because the middle-aged officer wanted to rush to the city, so she killed him painfully.

Of course, the shot that time did not rule out that she was in a bad mood, and there was a reason for it to be an example to others.

Hearing Xiao En's words, the face of the middle-aged officer suddenly changed, because obviously he also realized that last time he did tell Christina that she was going to attack the city, and it was exactly the same as what happened this time.

"I will report this to Mr. Woody." Christina said in a deep voice.

At this moment, the middle-aged officer only felt a little distressed.

He knew that no matter what the result was, Woody would have to give Christina an explanation, even if he was just pretending, he would definitely be temporarily suspended, which made him feel extremely depressed. It's just that he also knows that he only hates that he shouldn't have shown that look just now, and let others have an excuse. However, he is also smart, knowing that he should not open his mouth to refute anything at this time, otherwise he might risk his life.

Seeing the silent defense of the middle-aged officer made Sean somewhat bored.

Only a lunatic like Christina, who was born in the Peace Council and didn't think much about common sense, would be easy to fool around. Veterans like these real veterans who came from the real army are really not easy to use their means to fight back. It's just that Sean believes that for Christina's sake, the officer will definitely suffer from being dumb, so Sean doesn't plan to entangle this matter any more.

He turned his head and said to Christina, "I'm in a hurry. I wanted to leave through the teleportation magic circle here, but I didn't expect to encounter military control. Can you help me solve it? If it doesn't work, you can help me." Let me vouch for it, let me get out of town now."

"No." Kristina shook her head, looking businesslike, "I can guarantee you, but you still have to fill out the application form and review it, and I have no right to violate the rules, after all, I It is not easy for me to break the rules set by Mr. Woody."

Christina is certainly not really stupid.

If she makes an exception for Sean, then Woody will naturally be able to open the back door a little bit, and Christina will naturally have nothing to blame. On such a principled issue of right and wrong, Christina would never make these principled mistakes.

"What the hell is going to shut down the city?" Sean was also a little helpless, "I heard that heretics have mixed into Adroan? Do you need my help?"

He naturally knew that Christina was not really stupid.

He fooled around a little before and asked Christina to speak for him. This kind of thing is not a big problem, and Christina is naturally willing to cooperate, after all, it can also consolidate her authority. But when it came to issues of principle, Sean knew that it would not be easy to fool this crazy woman.

Therefore, he was quite open-minded. Instead of filling out that bullshit application form and then queuing up for review and inspection, he might as well help Christina solve the problem, so that he could sell a favor to Christina instead. And as long as the matter is settled, he will be able to use the teleportation magic circle, which is much faster than leaving Adroan and heading to the next destination city.

"I really need your help." Regarding Sean's inquiry, Christina was not polite, "Come with me!" (To be continued...)

p is still repaying debts. I am too lazy to cut this plot. It looks more coherent when connected together. It can be considered as two in one. It was originally integrated from three chapters. Still owe two chapters.
