Chapter 365 Alliance?(1/2)
“So hot!”
"This water is so bitter..."
"Rejoice, the water is much warmer, it's better than drinking cold water outside."
The knights who took off their leather armor had thirsty mouths and couldn't wait to drink hot tea. They faced wind and frost, were hungry, and fought with a bunch of lunatics. In the end, they gained very little, which was really uncomfortable.
Most of them were recruited temporarily, and only a minority were trained. Their predecessors might have been sneaky thieves, or gangsters who extorted fees. Otherwise, they would not have caused tens of thousands of casualties in the fight with the mob.
Several casualties.
While this motley crew was randomly quenching their thirst, the elite knights brought by Peter from his family did not move. Instead, they sat upright and looked at the surrounding environment, with a little wariness in their eyes.
Some people even looked at the motley crew drinking tea, paying attention to each other's faces to verify whether the tea had been tampered with.
"Thank you for your hospitality. We will never forget your kindness. May the harvest god Arthas bless you."
After seeing the knight drinking cup after cup of hot tea, Peter picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and smiled.
"You're welcome. We are all neighbors in the city-state and should help each other."
Hruf nodded slightly, secretly thinking about how to squeeze useful value out of the other party's mouth.
After discovering this group of knights, the superiors confirmed that the identities of these knights were not dead. Xiao Han invited these people into the city lord's palace and asked Hruf to disguise himself as the city lord. Titan City was also covered with the tulip family's unique image.
camouflage.
However, the two chatted for a while, and when Peter saw that the food was not served, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He stared at Hruf's kind and kind face, the enthusiasm on his face was beyond words, and his hospitable eyes seemed to say "Drink, keep drinking, who of us is following whom, why are you so polite?", but in fact it was one share.
Not even willing to give out food.
Haha, I was talking about the friendship and mutual help between neighbors. Now, serving tea and drinking water and talking about ideals is really polite.
Drink, drink, drink, you will be paralyzed. I would like to be more sincere and offer you a few pieces of bread.
Pete was a military officer, and although he has a quick temper, he knows how to restrain himself and figure out the other party's intentions.
His real goal is to secretly test the recent situation in Titan City on the orders of the clan leader.
At first, the rushing dark clouds and roaring thunder were noticed by Hailan City, which was fifty miles away. They suspected that there was a major change, and specially sent people to investigate.
Later, Bizhu City fell inexplicably, and all traces were easily erased by the falling thunder.
The reported news shocked the top management of Hailan City. What kind of cruel power could it destroy the entire city into rubble?
Therefore, Peter's mission was not only to conquer the wasteland and provoke the anger of the Principality of Prynne and the City of Constantine, but also to check whether the surrounding cities were intact.
"Brother, you are so young and rich, and you are the captain of a cavalry, you must be very popular in Hailan City."
"Anyway, I'm just an ordinary member of the Weeks family. This time I lead people to dig for soil crystals, which is not glamorous at all."
"That's right. However, soil crystals contain a small amount of rock potential, which is suitable for planting some magic plants. I think my brother seems to have gained a lot."
"Ahem, soil crystals are not easy to dig. Only in late autumn, the mature soil crystals change, and the faded crystal dust can be dug out of the soil surface, shining with a dark yellow light, which is easy to identify."
Peter and Hruf exchanged information in a friendly manner, but when it came to their own intelligence, they were a little perfunctory and brushed it off.
However, after all, Peter's experience is not as good as that of Hruf. The latter made some insinuations and deduced a piece of useful information from the limited information. It is very likely that one of the overlords of Aquamarine City, the Weeks family, has annexed another force.
Controlled an entire city.
Peter, on the other hand, secretly glanced at the layout of this hall, recalling the newly built city wall outside Titan City, and secretly thought that there were many fishy things in it.
After revealing their identities, the group of people entered the city gate without saying a word and with enthusiastic attitudes. The next second they were taken directly to the city lord's mansion without giving him a chance to observe the situation in the city.
Moreover, Titan City actually restored the city lord system, and the camp was obviously on the side of the principality. This newly appointed city lord should be one of the top leaders of the Tulip family elected in response to the call of the principality.
It is very likely that he is a confidant of Francis, the contemporary patriarch of Tulip. In a sense, he represents Francis's attitude.
For a time, Peter thought a lot, with a look of enlightenment in his eyes.
The Tulip family defeated the other two forces without knowing it, took control of the entire city, and completed the reunification. It can be said to be a potential stock.
Its status is no less than equal to that of the Weeks family.
The patriarch Francis once showed his prowess in the gladiatorial arena of the southern principality and became famous for a while. He embarked on a blazing road of revenge. He was a weak child and grew into a powerful man with a long-standing reputation. This story can be seen everywhere
Word spread, and everyone praised the other party for his forbearance and outstanding leadership skills.
When he thought of this, Peter couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for this Tulip Clan leader.
"It's time to serve the food. We can't let the guests go hungry. It's too rude."
Hruf smiled apologetically, tapped his fingers on the table, secretly circulated his energy and blood, and said.
Hearing this, many knights were overjoyed, and as an officer, Peter even raised his lips slightly.
What seemed like serving food was actually a sign that the patriarch behind him was paying attention to him. This was good news.
He couldn't help but smile smartly: "This little thing doesn't matter. Since my brother is so enthusiastic, I can't seem stingy. I have a newly dug earth crystal here..."
"Whoops!"
In an instant, flame patterns flashed, and red lines appeared on the ground, densely intertwined like spider webs, and ten times the gravity was exerted on everyone!
"boom!"
The tea cup exploded and the table and chairs exploded into pieces of sawdust!
With this space being blocked by gravity, everyone was caught off guard and lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, unable to move.
"Ah! My legs!"
"Damn it! It's an enemy attack!!"
"Ahem!"
More than a hundred knights were attacked and crushed by a huge force. Many of them were weak and could not bear the burden. Their skin turned red and veins popped out!
The next moment, under the squeeze of gravity, blood was secreted from the pores, and blood flowed all over the body. As the gravity further increased, some people's blood vessels burst, their hearts stopped, and they exploded into a pool of bloody flesh!
"You, you guys!"
This astonishing change stunned Peter.
Soon, he realized that the other party wanted to show off his face and kill people to seize the treasure!
In fact, Titan City is not controlled by the Tulip family at all, which is very scary!
"Damn it!"
Peter roared angrily, and five potential halos burst out, surrounding him, condensing into a solid flame armor.
He used the power of his potential to break free from the shackles of the earth's power, summoned a long sword from his soul, and killed the old man with whom he was chatting happily.
But Hruf was already prepared, and he burst out with a majestic blood energy, condensing into a force that made him violently retreat out of the door.
If Peter hadn't been wary of the murderous intent exposed, he could have drawn his sword and severely wounded the opponent at the moment of retreat.
"We, the Weeks family, will never tolerate any provocation! We are not afraid of any traps from the enemy!"
Peter let out a startled and angry sound, and he wore a pair of flame armor. His blood was full of vitality, flames bursting out, and he aimed his sword firmly at Hruf.
In the dark, he turned slightly and embarked on an escape route that he had observed earlier.
To be honest, he himself was a little confused. We were having a good chat and the two sides were mutually beneficial. Maybe there was a basis for cooperation and alliance. Why should we turn against each other?!
Is it just because I want to steal your food for free?
Eat, drink, and be struck by lightning?
The elites who had not drank tea resisted the constraints of gravity and took out the short blades hidden on the sides of their boots. With the activation of the blast pattern, they all stepped forward to help.
"call out!"
Suddenly, one side of the wall exploded, and a thunder flame spear came in. Under Peter's horrified eyes, with a burning sensation in his chest, it instantly penetrated the thick flame armor and pierced his chest.
Body!
The flame armor, which he regarded as a life-saving trump card, was as easy as a hot knife stabbing into a piece of butter!
The next moment, he was lifted away by the inertia contained in the spear, and his figure flew away like a kite that had lost its string!
The space in the hall was very spacious. The opposite wall was fifty meters away. He was carried away by a shot. The thunder flame spear came out like a roaring dragon and pierced the fourteen knights who had gathered together. It was like a string of incense.
Wear it all the way!
A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon!
"Bang bang!"
The thunder flame spear flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and then pierced another wall, leaving a streak of lightning flashing light in the void.
The knights who were penetrated by the light traces fell to the ground one after another, their wounds expanded wildly with the remaining thunder flames, and clouds of blood mist exploded, killing them on the spot.
"grown ups!"
"Damn it, protect your lord quickly!"
"Retreat! We must retreat!"
Ignoring Lei Yan's fear, the elite cavalry hugged Peter, poured medicine into his mouth, and sprinkled powder to heal flesh and blood on the wound.
To be continued...
