Lord of War

Hecarom is an earldom belonging to the Principality of Jotun. Because of the particularity and greediness of the Northern Principality Federation, the territory has a very important status for the nobles here. And in the beginning, no matter how high or low the title was, the territory that could be obtained was only a small piece, almost equivalent to a knight's territory in other countries-that is, the size of a few small villages.

But on such a scale, unless it is directly rewarded by the Grand Duke, it means that more than 200,000 Pangea gold coins will be spent.

Still not that safe.

In the Federation of the Northern Principalities, the grand dukes of the thirty-six principalities have a large number of territories directly under them, and these territories are their money-making tools. If the aristocrats of the principality want to expand their territory, there are only two ways: one is to buy the territory from the Grand Duke, and the other is to fight it down through war. Therefore, the wars between the principalities are very fierce, almost reaching the level of one game every three days. As long as you don't invade the territories directly under the princes, those princes don't care what happens below you, or they are I wish that it would be best for both sides to lose out, and then be robbed by other thieves, robbers, and mercenaries.

In the Northern Principality Federation, there were countless cases where the two lord families suffered losses due to territorial disputes, and were finally robbed and wiped out by others, and then sold the territories directly back to the Grand Duke. Sean even knew that many of them were bandits disguised as the Grand Duke's direct army to kill people and recover the territories. After all, each of these territories meant a lot of financial revenue.

The Earl of Hecarom does not just have such a title. Rather, the area of ​​Earl Hecarom's territory is indeed a real earldom area.

This is a real earl of strength.

In the Federation of the Northern Principalities, the Earl of Strength has a stronger meaning than the nobles prefixed with the strength of ordinary kingdoms.

And his main source of income. It is relying on the monster resources and various herbal medicine resources produced in Dunma Forest, which account for nearly one-third of the financial revenue of the entire Hecarom Territory. That's why the town of Dunma, which is famous for its Dunma forest, has a church of the Church of God of War. And there is a white robe priest and ten war god knights.

It's not that Earl Hecarom didn't think about these ten God of War knights, but for many years he could only make friends with that greedy white-robed priest--this was just a superficial friendship, really. It is not enough to pay this white-robed priest to become one of his own. But at this time, Earl Hecarom himself did not expect that his years of hard work had been ruined by Sean's interference, and even the ten God of War knights were bought by Sean, following him and Amy Li entered the Dunma Forest together, planning to make trouble for her own subordinates.

On the border line of Dunma Forest slightly closer to the deep hinterland.

There is a makeshift camp.

The camp didn't build any fences, not even tents, and all the mercenaries who were resting in the camp just slept in their clothes. However, as veterans who often go deep into Dunma Forest to hunt, they naturally know how to survive safely in this forest. The place to rest is also warmed by digging a pit in advance, and then burning the remaining charcoal ash on the fire.

The head of the mercenary group who was supposed to lie down and rest. But after a visitor appeared, he had to get up to receive him.

This visitor is naturally one of the two deputy heads of the Rose Mercenary Corps, Mary.

However, apart from Mary and this private mercenary group belonging to Earl Hecarom, who participated in the talks. There is also a young man dressed elegantly and noblely.

This young man has short curly brown hair, eyes are sapphire blue like the ocean, and he is very well dressed. Even a set of safari suits is obviously hand-cut and made, not only the materials are high-grade. The protective ability is very good, and at the same time, it can well reflect the figure of this man. But in this camp. This man seemed out of place with the surrounding environment. Not only did he wear black leather gloves on his hands, but he also held a handkerchief to cover his nose, obviously because he was not used to the strange smell of the forest.

"What happened?" When the young man saw Mary's appearance, he realized that something might be wrong, so he didn't ask why Mary came here, but directly cut to the point.

Although this young man is incompatible with the surrounding environment, his direct control and sharp attention to the subject fully show that this young man is also a very experienced commander and general. Without a certain degree of experience, it is impossible to cultivate the courage and decision-making power of this young man. Even compared to Emily, he is not inferior, and it can even be said that he is more sophisticated.

"Something went wrong." Mary said in a deep voice, her face was a little ugly, "Emily is now in the Church of the God of War, protected by the knights of the God of War... I just heard from the mouths of the knights of the God of War that in a short time I'm afraid Emily won't be leaving, and someone from the Marz Cathedral will probably be sent over."

When he heard about the Marz Cathedral, the head of the mercenary regiment, who was Earl Hecarom's confidant, showed shock on his face: "Why did the people from the Pope's Cathedral intervene?"

"I don't know the specifics." Mary shook her head, "The God of War knights didn't say anything, but it probably has something to do with the man next to Emily."

"Damn it!" the mercenary captain cursed.

If Sean was present at this time, he would be able to recognize that this mercenary captain was the one who ordered the pursuit of Sean today. It was precisely because he joined that battle that it finally formed the last straw that crushed the Rose Mercenary Regiment's logistics force, ended the battle ahead of time and cleaned the battlefield as if it had been ransacked by robbers.

Only Mary knew that the robbers who attacked the Rose Mercenary Group were the hands of Earl Hecarom's private mercenary group: Warcraft Hunters.

According to the original plan, they will solve the logistics of the Rose Mercenary Group in this Dunma Forest, and loot all the supplies to force the Rose Mercenary Group into a plight of lack of supplies. Then Mary provides the bait. Tricked the Rose Mercenary Corps into dividing troops into the forest to hunt monsters in exchange for travel expenses for the next operation. But in fact, the second ring of this trap is to provide the Warcraft Hunter Mercenary Group with a chance to defeat them one by one. As long as another group of members of the Rose Mercenary Group are dealt with, that Earl Hecarom will come forward. Pretending to encircle and suppress the bandits, but in fact they merged with the Warcraft Hunter Mercenary Group and directly slaughtered all the Rose Mercenary Group.

The plan had been very successful.

But because of the unexpected factor of Xiao En, the plan was changed.

Today, Emily is even more sheltered by the Church of the God of War, which means that their plan will not work at all.

After the head of the Warcraft Hunter Mercenary Group learned that Sean had run away today, he realized that the situation might be a bit bad, but he never expected it to be this bad. At this moment, he was even guessing whether Sean was a War God Knight of the God of War Church, and if so, he openly attacked a God of War knight of the God of War Church. Once he was recognized, let alone Earl Hecarom could not keep him, he might be implicated because of it.

"How is the defense of the town?" The young man holding a handkerchief to cover up the smell suddenly asked.

"You want to attack the city?" The face of the head of the Warcraft Hunter Mercenary Group suddenly changed, "Impossible, I can't take it down.... Not to mention the ten God of War knights, the town has a standing guard force of 500 people , after all, the geographical location of this town is too important, it is impossible for the Earl not to defend himself."

"But we are not the enemy of the town." The young man said softly.

In an instant, the head of the mercenary group realized the meaning of the young man's words.

They are Earl Hecarom's private mercenary regiment. They hunt monsters in Dunma Forest all the year round, so the town's garrison actually knows them. If they wanted to enter the town, it wouldn't cause any problems at all, even if they fought with other people directly in the town. The town's garrison will definitely come to support them, not to arrest them.

"The only thing to worry about is two points. The first point is the Church of the God of War..." The young man saw the change in the expression of the head next to him. I knew that he had understood what he meant, "If the Church of the God of War doesn't intervene in this matter, we can just find an excuse to take them all down before they can react. ... So this involves the first Two. We must avoid the man who has seen you."

"Let the Church of God of War not intervene, I think it can still be done, it's just..."

"I will be responsible for all the expenses of bribery."

"Okay!" The head of the mercenary group nodded, "Then Mary, I will give you a task, you find a way to lure that man away. I will give you a few people, and it is enough to entangle him. We only need ten minutes."

"Ten minutes?" Mary thought for a while, then nodded, "No problem."

Soon, several people who entered the state immediately began to discuss the next action plan. None of them were uninformed and experienced. Everyone obviously had quite a lot of combat experience, so they finalized the plan in a few words, and even repaired all the flaws. The whole process not only didn't waste any time, but also quickly reached an agreement with each other.

Goo-goo-

"Is it some kind of monster approaching?" The young man frowned slightly, "There has been this kind of monster screaming since just now."

Hearing the young man's words, Mary's expression changed suddenly: "Not good! It's the assembly signal of the Rose Mercenary Group...uh..."

Before Mary finished speaking, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.

She lowered her head and glanced at her heart. A hand wearing a black leather glove was holding a letter opener and pierced her heart. This hand is firm and strong, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with this action at all.

Mary raised her head with some difficulty, her eyes full of doubts.

"I don't know if I'm being followed, what's the use of you?" The young man said lightly, and then let go of his hand, not even pulling out the letter opener, just watching Mary slowly fall to the ground.

The mercenary group who witnessed all this with his own eyes felt a little cold. He didn't expect that if this gentle-looking young nobleman was so straightforward and ruthless, he wouldn't even be aware of it when he made a move. He couldn't help wondering, if this stab was aimed at him, would he be able to avoid it?

"The enemy has already touched the door, and your warning devices are useless... Captain, are you still planning to give an order?" Seeing that the mercenary leader didn't respond, and even lost his mind, the young nobleman finally returned. I spoke.

The mercenary captain finally came to his senses, and immediately blew a whistle.

In an instant, the entire mercenary group, which was resting, started to run rapidly like a rotating gear.

However, when these people started to move, Emily also showed no mercy. A rapid and dense rain of arrows shot at Earl Hecarom's private mercenary group from all directions. (to be continued...)
