Lord of War

The sky was dim yellow, the sun was setting, and the night wind that was gradually blowing brought a slight chill.

Four tents have been set up on a high slope on a leeward flat ground. In the middle of the tent is a fire that has already been ignited, and there is a small pot on it. Lily is pouring the prepared ingredients into it one by one, stirring it with a spoon from time to time, or adding some seasonings. There is a strong fragrance floating.

"Lily, don't put Roman vanilla in the soup." Phil changed his clothes, then walked out of a tent, and shouted at Lily who was cooking.

"What did you say?" Lily threw the finely chopped Romain vanilla into the pot, and thoughtfully evened out the chopped Roman herb with a spoon.

Phil looked at the pot of thick, fragrant soup with a troubled expression on his face: "No...it's nothing."

"Oh." Lily nodded, and then continued with her own cooking, "As long as Zoro can successfully get the meat back, it will be done.... By the way, where is Luo?"

"He's sleeping, and it's his first night on duty." Phil said with a sigh. He didn't like the smell of Roman's coriander, so this pot of delicious thick soup that smelled full of fragrance was probably insulated from him. He just I can hope that Zorro and Anna can bring back enough meat, "If Zorro and Anna cooperate...should be able to bring back a lot of meat."

"The two of them will definitely be fine." As the captain of the bounty team, Yun also came out of a tent at this time.

After Sean joined the bounty hunter team, they didn't waste any time. After that simple but fierce competition, everyone set off for the underground ruins that Yun had mentioned before the next day. However, because of the relationship on the road, they had to stop temporarily to rest in the middle, which is why they built such a temporary camp. Except for the captain Yun who used one of the four tents for himself, the other six shared a tent in pairs.

But in this way, everyone's ability to survive in the wild can be seen.

Although Lily has almost no combat skills, she is born with the talent to find a suitable resting place, and she also has unique abilities in finding water sources. The only person who can compare with Lily in this aspect is Sean. It's just that Sean doesn't have Lily's powerful cooking talent. Lily's housekeeping ability is already beyond the level of the plane.

Besides Lily and Sean, the survivability of the big man and Anna is not bad, both of which belong to the level that can at least keep them from starving. Then came Phil. You can barely find something to eat, of course, don't force yourself to taste or something. On the contrary, Yun and Luo seem to be strong, smart, and capable of doing things, but unexpectedly they have no ability to survive in the wild. Once the dry food and drinking water they carry run out. Basically the rhythm of going hungry.

In this way,

Sean also understood why Yun had to take Lili on the road together.

Without Lily, a half-orc of the cat race, the combat effectiveness of this bounty hunter team would have dropped two notches.

At this time, in the woods not far from the camp, Sean and Anna had just finished a hunt, and the trophy was a huge steel-toothed wild boar.

Although the steel-toothed wild boar is a monster, it is not very aggressive, and it also has a strong skin to protect itself. Those who are not at the bronze level cannot deal with this kind of wild boar, not to mention that the steel-toothed wild boar is usually a family unit. If it weren't for the quality of this wild boar's meat. It is an ingredient that many taverns and hotels like to buy, and generally not many people are willing to provoke these monsters.

Sean and Anna captured this steel-toothed wild boar, which is already at the top of the third level. There are at least ten years of steel-toothed wild boars like this. In terms of meat quality, it is relatively unsuitable for taverns and hotels and for making steaks, because this wild boar is an old pig, and the meat is hard and tough, but if it matches the broth that Lily cooked tonight, it would be a perfect collocation. Moreover, the steel-tooth wild pork that has been thoroughly boiled will have a chewy texture.

"Ah, that's right." Xiao En, who was walking with the steel-toothed wild boar, said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Anna, who was following Sean, asked.

"Anna. You should drag the steel-toothed wild boar back first." Sean smiled, "It suddenly occurred to me that if you can add blackberry snake fruit to the broth cooked by Lily, the taste will be even better. It has a slightly It has a slightly spicy taste, and there is a sweet and sour taste in the throat, it is as delicious as drinking fruit wine! ... I will go to the neighborhood to find out if there is any blackberry red snake fruit."

Just listening to Xiao En's description, Anna's eyes lit up: "Okay, then go find it quickly....Be careful."

"Understood." Sean smiled and waved his hand. Then he turned back and walked towards the back of the forest that had just come out.

Anna, on the other hand, dragged the steel-toothed wild boar, which weighed at least several hundred kilograms, towards the camp.

After Anna completely walked out of the woods, Xiao En, who was standing in the shadow of the forest, slowly walked out of the shadow. However, the expression on his face was no longer as relaxed and casual as before, but instead revealed a solemn look.

"Have you found Asuna?" Sean asked in a deep voice.

"Sorry, Lord Sean, the exact whereabouts of Grand Duke Asuna have not yet been found." In the shadow facing Sean, a vague figure gradually emerged, "But at least it is certain that Grand Duke Asuna was imprisoned in the The exact location of Wangdu is still uncertain, but there are already several places listed as key suspects, and the scope is gradually being narrowed down."

"Then what about the underground ruins I asked you to investigate?" Sean frowned slightly, but he still suppressed a slight anxiety in his heart.

As early as Yun revealed the news about the underground ruins, Xiao En had used a special contact method to let the intelligence personnel of the Void Realm investigate the information about the underground ruins first. To put it bluntly, he doesn't trust Yun, because this Chinese woman feels very weird to him, at least her own strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface, and even this woman she is very interested in If Xiao En doesn't pay attention to the underground ruins, he might be sold by someone.

It would be a real shame if a dignified Grand Duke of Void was sold just like this.

For this reason, Sean temporarily issued an order to send some people to the Void Realm in the Seine area to investigate the relevant information of the underground ruins. One of the most important tasks is to determine whether Elizabeth and others are still hiding in this underground ruins, or if there are other clues about Elizabeth and others.

"I'm sorry, Lord Sean." The intelligence officer was a little ashamed, but he also had a lot of helplessness. Because it has only been three days since Xiao En issued this order, even if they are in the void, they can’t collect too much information in three days, let alone this is a relic of the underground tomb. It is even bigger than imagined. The survey is very time-consuming. Judging from the current known situation... There are too many traces of human activities on the first and second floors of the underground mausoleum, and it is impossible to accurately judge it. Although there are few traces of activity from the third floor A lot, but the danger has also increased a lot, so..."

"I see." Sean nodded. "Let other people pay attention to safety, there is no need to take risks. I can arrive at my side in four days at most. I suspect that it is the tomb of King Ryan. If it is confirmed that this is the clue, we must evacuate the tomb as soon as possible. You are not allowed to enter the fifth floor without authorization."

The spy from the Realm of the Void was slightly taken aback. He had never had direct contact with Sean, and this was the first time he had faced Sean, the legendary Grand Duke of the Void. Hearing Sean's concerned tone at this time made him feel a little unbelievable, because he had seen too many spies who were just used as tools or abandoned children. Not to mention orphans like them.

"We will pay attention." The spy calmed down and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then you can leave first."

"Master Sean, the main purpose of my coming here this time is not to report these two matters." Seeing that Sean was about to leave, the spy said, "I came here rashly this time because Lord Neil sent an order. Let me report a piece of news to you, and ask you to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Decision?" Sean was stunned for a moment, and then his face became solemn. "What happened?"

With a sound of wind, a sticky note was shot towards Sean from the shadows.

Reaching out to pick it up, Sean quickly unfolded the sticky note.

With just one glance, the expression on his face changed immediately.

The sound of insects could still be heard occasionally. Suddenly it disappeared without a trace, leaving only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the woods. And as the aura from Xiao En gradually intensified, the entire forest became more and more quiet, and even faintly daunting.

"Rob joined the war because of the Knight Kingdom?" Sean turned around and looked at the shadow, "Why was there no news about this before!?"

"Because of the opening of the fourth battlefield, all the intelligence personnel in charge of the northwest area outside the Great Wall were temporarily transferred back, resulting in a sharp drop in monitoring of the northwest area outside the Great Wall." The intelligence officer was obviously a little helpless, "plus Robin The Kingdom of Knights has long been in collusion with the noble circles in the northwest outside the Great Wall, so the knights of the other party have been cooperated and covered by nobles from all over the way, so we failed to discover it in the first place."

"Northwest aristocratic party...rebellion?"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is obviously the case." The spy replied, "According to the feedback information received from the investigators dispatched urgently by Lord Neil, this time it is the Robin Knights and the Karosha Tribe. The United Nations invaded the aristocratic circle in the northwest of the Kingdom of Ryan. The two countries have formed an alliance. According to earlier news, it was a conspiracy negotiated by Prince Grayne of the Kingdom of Ryan and the other party, and the other party sent troops to support the attack on the Principality of Garrod. It's just that Because of the sudden confrontation between our Void Principality and the Ryan Kingdom, the other party broke the agreement with the Ryan Kingdom and directly launched an invasion war against the Ryan Kingdom."

"The current situation is that the northwest area outside the Ryan Wall has become a chaotic battlefield. The main force of the Kalosa Tribal United Nations is launching an attack on the Garrod Fortress. The advance troops of the Robin Knight Principality are the four major knights, the Angry Lion Knight The regiment is suppressing the Lion nobles who refused to surrender. Originally, the Dragon Knights were also responsible for the suppression. It was only because of the result of the battle between the Black Wolf Knights and Lord Altdorf's Motorized Infantry Regiment that the Dragon Knights had to be transferred now. front to prevent our counterattack and revenge... But as the battle progresses, it is only a matter of time before the northwest circle outside the Great Wall is annexed, because more and more Lane nobles have surrendered."

Xiao En squeezed the sticky note in his hand tightly, and the expression on his face could be as ugly as it was.

The content on the note is only a short message.

"A battle broke out between the Motorized Infantry Regiment and the Robin Black Wolf Knights. The Black Wolf Knights suffered about 8,000 casualties. Only 7,000 people from the Motorized Infantry Regiment managed to escape, and more than 42,000 people died. The third and fourth lieutenants were killed on the spot. , the fifth adjutant died after treatment failed, the second adjutant was slightly injured, and the commander Altdorf was seriously injured and unconscious, not out of danger."

In a battle of 20,000 men against 40,000 men, Altdorf was nearly wiped out.

More than one to eight battle damage ratio!

The Black Wolf Knights said that there were 8,000 casualties, but the death toll must have been less than 5,000.

In just one battle, the Motorized Infantry Regiment was directly beaten to the brink of withdrawal, so that we can see how strong the Black Wolf Knights' combat effectiveness is. Of course, Sean didn't know the actual situation of the war at that time, but no matter what the process was, judging from the current results, it was impossible for Sean not to be angry.

"Okay, Robin and Kalosa, how dare they take advantage of the situation and rob them at such a time." Xiao En's face was full of evil spirits.

The spy carefully glanced at Sean, gritted his teeth, and said bravely, "Master Sean, please calm down. Lord Neil said that our current national strength cannot support the opening of the fifth battlefield. Whether it is military strength, generals, or logistics, they are already at the limit. So he wants you to make a decision, whether to continue to fight against the Kingdom of Ryan, or to withdraw from the front of Fortress Tonis and deal with the northwest with all your strength. invaders?"

"Where's Diana!" Sean's inner anger almost turned into substance, "Is there no result of her mission yet? How does the diplomatic department work?"

"So far there is no news about Lord Diana..." The spy had just spoken halfway before his eyes changed slightly, "I'm offended, Lord Xiao En."

After saying that, with a flick of his right hand, a dagger slipped out from his sleeve, and stabbed towards Xiao En.

Sean counterattacked with a backhand, and the long sword in his hand hit the stabbed dagger.

Taking advantage of the impact of this blow, the spy retreated into the shadows at an even faster speed than ever before, and before Sean could pursue him, he shot dozens of daggers from the darkness to capture all parts of Sean's body. . As a result, Sean naturally couldn't pursue him, so he could only draw his sword and turn around to defend, and then disarmed all the daggers that were shot at him.
