Lord of War

Perhaps because of a bloody battle, the members of the Seventh Legion all had a bloody and murderous look on them.

Although this group of newly recruited soldiers did not deliberately show a fierce look, each of them exuded a fierce and sturdy aura, which was very different from what Xiao En had seen before. difference. Moreover, when these people gradually approached Xiao En and the others, the leading commander also knew how to order some people to maintain order and disperse the crowd, so as to prevent the possible outbreak of battle from affecting innocent people .

Although I don't know what kind of mentality the other party is considering, but being able to be so cautious and meticulous at least proves that this guy in front of me has obviously grown in the past year or so.

Soon, the crowd who were still queuing to enter the city were dispersed to a place 20 to 30 meters away from Xiao En and others.

If the black stone seemed to be an extremely dangerous creature, I am afraid that the dispersed crowd would choose to watch from a closer place. Of course, not everyone would choose to watch. At this time, many people were reluctant to pay the head fee of the silver coin, and chose to enter the Tonis Fortress while the attention of the Seventh Legion was now attracted.

Xiao En glanced around again, but found that the little girl and the people who could be regarded as her parents had already left. Sean just shook his head helplessly. After all, in a chaotic world where power is paramount, can these few civilians who don't even have any status be expected to speak for him?

As the crowd dispersed and the soldiers of the Seventh Legion gradually approached, the commander of the other side naturally got closer and closer to Xiao En.

It's just that from the beginning to the end, his eyes almost stayed on Heishi and Marshmallow. From the blazing eyes he looked at Heishi and his doubts about Marshmallow, Sean could tell that the other party obviously knew about the existence of creatures like Earth Walking Dragon. It's just that it's hard to say whether they know the Mutated Emperor Dragon. As for the cotton candy, it's a creature that even Sean doesn't know, and it's obviously impossible for the other party to know.

Therefore, the other party's eyes soon shifted to Rui Na. After all, Rui Na was standing next to Heishi at this time, reaching out to pat Heishi's body to make it quiet. In terms of the disposition of the Earth Dragon, being able to obey a human's commands and orders so docilely, then this undoubtedly fully reveals Reina's identity, so that the other party's eyes looking at Rena are also full of a kind of fiery passion. . It's like looking at a property.

Creatures such as ground dragons may not have any peculiarities for those empires that can form ground dragon legions. At most, they represent strength and luck. After all, not everyone can become a part of the ground dragon legion. member. But for the Lions, a monster like a ground dragon simply represents a symbol of identity, status, strength, etc., and it is possible to have a ground dragon or a follower of a ground dragon knight. This is simply a matter of great face.

But unfortunately,

For the Ryan people, this kind of monster is still an existence that cannot be forced. Of course, the reason for this result is not that it is difficult to find ground-moving dragons. On the contrary, there are several ground-moving dragons' lairs in the Principality of Ryan, and the real reason why ground-moving dragons cannot be forced is the difficulty of taming ground-moving dragons. Very big. This so-called difficulty refers to a taming technique. Just like taming wild horses, special skills must be used to tame them.

Basically, only the Millennium Covenant Empire and the Emeria Empire are the only ones who have mastered this kind of taming skills in the southern continent. Although there is also a kingdom called Satagastan that also has a dragoon army, but this No one can prove whether the country has mastered this technology, because this country has very little communication with the outside world, and there is still a big gap between the two empires in terms of the size of the Dragoon Legion.

It's just that this kingdom also has a huge advantage that the two empires don't have: the strong man of the Satagastan Kingdom is a real dragon knight.

It is not a class such as ground dragon knight, flying dragon knight, or holy dragon knight, but a real dragon knight: the giant dragon knight.

Therefore, any country that wants to invade the Kingdom of Satagastan must face a problem: in the face of Longwei, any cavalry type of troops cannot go to the battlefield at all, and even if it is a pure infantry army, it also needs to face Longwei. Weaken the combat power to a certain extent, so that it is not enough for the Dragoon Legion of the Kingdom of Satagastan to charge. But it's subtle. For so many years, the Satagastan Kingdom has never shown any thoughts or signs of foreign aggression. They seem to be very content with the status quo. Their land area is not much different from a principality so far, so no one wants to go to Satagastan over time. Trouble in the Kingdom of Tagastan.

At least, until the dragon died in the palace of this kingdom. No one will go to trouble this country.

But in the Kingdom of Ryan today, there will never be more than five nobles who own earth-moving dragons or flying dragons, and there may be five if Sean is included. It's just that the others must be ordinary ground dragons and flying dragons, and they can't even be regarded as sub-dragon species in the strict sense. Because according to Xiao En's understanding, the definition of "sub-dragon" in the Miracle Continent is that it has the blood of a giant dragon, and the exact definition is "dragon-like" for monsters like ground dragons and flying dragons that are so thin that they hardly have the blood of a giant dragon. , just like "humanoid".

So Sean could understand the blazing look in Rina's eyes.

There is no doubt that the other party has clearly regarded Reina, himself and the others as a small mercenary group.

In other words, a mercenary group who was lucky enough to get a ground dragon. If he didn't know that Di Xinglong would only serve one master in his life under normal circumstances, Xiao En would bet that the other party must be thinking about how to kill Rena and take the Black Stone. After all, this method of killing and extorting goods is no stranger to these nobles, and it can even be said to be easy to use.

Of course, Sean will have this impression, the most important thing is that the other party is someone with such a criminal record.

Not long after, the other party brought a group of people from the Seventh Legion to Sean and the others. However, since Sean and the others were wearing the hooded cloaks commonly used by adventurers, and they hadn’t lifted the hoods at this time, the other party did not recognize the identity of Sean and the others. Of course, the most important thing was the other party’s His gaze didn't stay on Sean at all, but on Rina. Even Xuefanio and Cecilia were ignored.

Perhaps in his eyes, the truly valuable people should be Rena and Heishi.

As for a white lion, although it was a species he had never seen before, in his eyes, it was nothing more than a level three or four monster, which was not enough to make his heart flutter. certainly. If it was buy one get one free, then he would definitely not refuse, maybe this time he could just give it as a gift when he goes back.

"Which mercenary group do you belong to?" The old acquaintance standing in front of Xiao En spoke in a standard official tone, "How dare you make trouble here in Fortress Tonis, are you not afraid of being encircled and suppressed by the army of the kingdom?" Is it? Or do you think you can do whatever you want with a ground dragoon?”

His voice was loud and full of the majesty of a high-ranking person. As soon as he came over, he immediately took the lead, which overlapped with the figure in Sean's impression. Originally feeling the bloody murderous aura on the other party and his reaction speed in handling things, Xiao En felt that the other party's military career might have really grown in the past half a year, but now it seems that even though he has grown, this aristocratic style His temper and way of thinking are also not lost.

Sean and the others did not reply.

in this team. Although Sean's strength is the lowest, his status is the highest, and the other three are actually used to Sean's command and giving orders, so Sean didn't speak, and the others didn't speak either. However, they obviously turned their heads towards Sean, especially since Rena's hood had been lifted just now. So judging from her gaze at this time, the other party knew that the person standing in the middle was the team leader.

"Are you the head of this mercenary group?" The other party spoke again, with the same arrogance in his voice.

Sean didn't speak, but the hooded head could be seen nodding.

This move made the face of the young general of the Seventh Legion flash a bit of sullenness, and his aura became much sharper.

It is a kind of bloody murderous aura that only those who have really fought their way out on the battlefield will possess. Combined with the increasingly deep majesty of the superiors on their body, it can indeed create a powerful and powerful aura that is impressive to ordinary people. It's just a pity that the person he is facing now is Sean, so his strong aura, which is similar to not being angry and arrogant, can't put any pressure on Sean at all.

But this time. It was rare for the other party to leave a new impression on Sean.

Because the other party didn't take it by force, but started to think, and even used some shameful means: "Now is a special period, if you go in like this, it will bring a lot of chaos and influence, so these few of you Pets must stay outside first. And you have to go to the legion garrison with me to report first, and you will not be allowed to stay in the fortress until you are sure that you are not in any danger at all. However, during your stay, your pets are all They are not allowed to enter the inner city, they must be fostered at the legion garrison, and we will arrange special guards, but you will need to pay a guard fee afterwards."

It sounds like there are no loopholes or flaws in this statement, but the other party did not say clearly how much the custody fee needs to be paid. Moreover, Sean believes that the other party looked at Reina with such fiery eyes just now, and he must also know Reina's identity as a ground dragon knight. Now that he knows this, it is obvious that the other party is also very clear. However, the other party still wants to forcibly separate Rina and Heishi, so this can only show that the other party either has some special means to think that he is sure to keep Heishi, or is trying to use this method to forcibly isolate Rina. The actions of himself and others are convenient for him to contact and win over.

But whether it's the former or the latter, at least it proves that this guy is really thinking about problems with his brain, instead of only knowing how to plunder like before.

Comparing the two, this eating looks more and more like a qualified nobleman.

"We're only staying for one night at most." Sean finally couldn't help but open his mouth. Anyway, he basically already knows what he wants to know, so naturally there is no need to play a pig. "I will leave Tony tomorrow morning." Fortress."

Hearing Xiao En's words, the young nobleman frowned again, and looked at Xiao En with a little more doubt. From Sean's point of view, it was obvious that the other party felt familiar with his voice and was a little more confused. After all, what happened in Fortress Tonis back then was not a small matter, and the two sides had confronted each other several times, so it is not unusual to be more or less impressed.

However, this kind of doubt quickly disappeared - especially after he looked at the black stone again.

"It's probably impossible." The young nobleman shook his head. "It's just a report for review and inspection. You will probably stay for a few days. At least until we determine your danger, it is impossible for us to let you enter the interior." City, let alone leave Fortress Tonis. After all, Kingdom of Ryan will hold a grand banquet in a while, so you should prepare for some long-term stays.”

Sean sighed slightly, not necessary. He really didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly. It's not just him who thinks so, even Asuna, Hatch, Kos and other big figures choose to arrive in secret, and even if they go on the road together, everyone chooses to leave the fortress and pretend to run into each other by accident. In any case, they should try their best to avoid giving people the feeling of forming a party for personal gain.

Therefore, if Sean revealed his identity here, it would probably be impossible for him to go on the road with Asuna and the others again. And this. It happened to be what Xiao En tried his best to avoid, after all, because of his strength in the southern theater and some deliberate actions before, he had already created many enemies for him. Similarly, because he used to belong to Asuna, those political opponents who dare not and cannot openly attack Asuna will naturally choose to attack him.

According to William and Hela's plan, then this time he will go to the capital of Ryan, he'd better find a backer to take advantage of the situation. Try to avoid exposing your strength early.

It's just that the greedy look of the young nobleman in front of him, who clearly wanted to dig a corner, made Xiao En understand that if he didn't reveal his identity, he might really have no way to leave today. And if he really went to the Seventh Army's garrison, his identity would also be exposed, and some smart people might even guess some of his methods, which would be even more detrimental to him.

After all, the Seventh Legion has been Ryan's most famous noble regiment since its inception.

The command of this legion has always been in the hands of the Ryan royal family, even if there are some infighting or management confrontation. That is also a conflict and confrontation within the Ryan royal family. However, as the most important and loyal legion of the royal family, the nobles who come out of this legion can easily gain the trust and recognition of the Ryan royal family, so over time this legion has become a test for all noble families to show their loyalty to the royal family As a result, nobles began to send less important heirs from their families to this legion.

As a result, nobles began to continuously provide supplies and the like to the Seventh Legion. Of course, the Ryan royal family is very happy to see such a situation, which means that they don't need to spend a penny to have someone help them raise the army, and they only need to throw a little bit of meat out in a timely manner to satisfy these nobles. Are you happy? Of course, if it is those truly loyal families, or truly capable talents, the Ryan royal family will not be stingy, and they are still very happy to provide them with an opportunity or a platform.

As a result, the Seventh Legion is naturally more and more mixed. After all, due to political opinions or interests, the nobles of the Kingdom of Ryan will be hostile, or allied, or join hands, or neutral with each other, and the reactions and attitudes of these families will naturally affect those who are sent to the Seventh Legion. On the children of those families. But this is not without benefits, because almost all the nobles in the Kingdom of Ryan are gathered, so the platform of the Seventh Legion itself is also the largest source of information for each family.

It can be imagined from this that once Sean's disguised identity spreads among the Seventh Legion, the major families will receive the news within three days at most. And maybe those young noble children of the Seventh Legion don't think too deeply, but once such information is passed back to the family, with the cautiousness of those noble old foxes, they will naturally be able to quickly outline a picture that can be guessed even if it is not completely accurate. An outline of the strategic plan.

"Brod, are you so anxious to win over my people?" Sean sighed helplessly, but he still chose to speak, "Aren't you afraid that some things are too hot, and if you can't swallow them, you'll burn them instead?" Does it burn your throat?"

The pupils of the young nobleman named Brod shrank suddenly, because when Sean said these words, he could feel a very obvious awe-inspiring killing intent, which was a powerful momentum completely over him . He turned his head and stared at Sean. Perhaps it was because of Xiao En's strong coercion, but in such a short moment, he was already sweating profusely, his face turned pale, and he gasped and said, "Who are you?"

Sean didn't speak anymore, but gently lifted the hood. He stared at Broad indifferently.

"It's you!" Brod's face flushed red.

For Sean, even if he turned into ashes, he would never forget it, because it was the conflict that broke out at the gate of Fortress Tonis more than a year ago that completely ruined his status as the fourth heir. For this reason, he directly broke away from the Sebarox family in a rage, but at that time, the Rhodes family, the family of Brod's biological mother, did not want him to throw an olive branch, so he officially broke away from the noble status and started from the beginning. soldiers. After going through several encirclement and suppression operations and the great war in the Northwest Theater, he finally climbed to the position of earl by his own strength.

But it's just a false title, and there is no fiefdom, even in the Seventh Legion, it's just a squadron leader of a squadron.

So for Sean, Brod is still very resentful in his heart, because if it wasn't for him. He will not end up like today. However, apart from resentment, his heart was more of a kind of jealousy, jealousy of Sean's luck: because when the war broke out, he heard that Sean was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater, and he was also a baron. identity. And when after this war, when he overheard someone mentioning the name Sean again, it was the list of marquises leaked from the royal family.

to this end. He finally realized that it was by no means an easy task to become a real nobleman by virtue of his own strength. So when people from the Rhodes family came to meet him and expressed that the Rhodes family was willing to accept his identity, Brod agreed without the slightest hesitation, and when he became Brod Rhodes, he agreed. From that moment on, he officially joined the competition for the successor of the Rhodes family.

Today, he is the second heir of the Rhodes family, and the gap with the first heir has also narrowed to a completely negligible gap.

Therefore, if he can have a ground dragon knight as a follower, then this will definitely be of great help to his successor competition. This is also when Brod meets Rina and Blackstone. The reason for the fanatical look in his eyes is because no one knows the meaning of the word "privilege" better than him.

Of course, after seeing Sean again at this time, Brod finally understood that Sean had more than just luck. Although his strength has not improved too much. However, under the coercion of his aura, Brod didn't even have the thought of resisting at all. How many people would have to be killed to have such a terrifying murderous aura.

Brod couldn't figure it out.

"It's me." Sean nodded expressionlessly, "We meet again."

Brod looked at Sean, silent.

"As I said, I will only stay in Fortress Tonis for one night, and I will leave the next day, so you'd better not get in my way." Sean still said softly, but since his identity has been revealed, then Naturally, he would not be polite, anyway, he killed two of the nobleman's subordinates in Fortress Tonis, "You and I are old acquaintances, because you should be very clear that if you block my way, you will What's the end? I was able to kill your two guards a year ago, what do you think will happen today? ... I don't see you have a strong gold man by your side."

Listening to Sean's "naked" ridicule, Brod remained silent.

And the soldiers of the Seventh Legion who followed Brod also looked at each other in blank dismay. It was obvious that they had already heard that these two young men not only knew each other, but also seemed to have old grudges against each other. But Brod, as their chief, didn't dare to disperse and let these people go if he didn't give an order.

"Stay away." Brod waved his hand away.

All the soldiers quickly dispersed.

Sean glanced at Brod. He seemed a little puzzled by his blunt reaction, and frowned slightly. But since Brod didn't say anything more, Sean naturally didn't intend to speak again. He hesitated for a while, and still didn't put on the hood, but when he passed Brod, he heard Brod's voice. A whisper, which made Sean stunned for a moment, then put on the hood, and left with Rena, Cecilia, Cefanio and others.

After Xiao En and others walked away, the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the arena finally began to dissipate.

A few soldiers who were closer to Brod dared to step forward at this time, and then asked, "My lord, who was that man just now?"

Brod looked complicated, but he still shook his head: "It's nothing, you all don't see what happened today, if you let me know who spread it in private, you will know the consequences yourself."

Hearing Brod's serious voice, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion were a little awed, because they rarely saw Brod so powerful. However, in the eyes of these soldiers, it was probably just because their chief had suffered at the hands of the other party, and two guards were killed. This matter was very shameful, so they were forbidden to discuss it in private. It is also understandable, after all, the nobles are all about saving face.

However, Sean, who gradually disappeared from the sight of Broad and others, raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Interesting." Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
