"Leo? That's a terrible name." A group of dwarves lowered their voices and whispered to each other. They looked like they didn't want to embarrass Roy.
But their naturally loud voices allowed everyone present to hear them clearly.
"But thank you," Tie Xiaoshan said, "you saved our lives. We can't be wrong. Otherwise, we would all be like Tie Xiaomao..."
When the name Tie Xiaomao was mentioned, the dwarves all turned their heads and looked at the dwarf among the scattered corpses. Their mouths shrank, their eyes rolled in their eyes, and they cried at the top of their lungs.
Although it looks a little funny, Roy, who is familiar with the character of dwarves, knows that for these crazy guys, this is their saddest moment.
Dwarves are not afraid of death. For them, death is a glorious return to the embrace of the dwarf god. The souls of the deceased will one day turn into tool spirits and appear in their forged weapons or armor. In this way, they accompany them.
By your side, I wish the dwarves prosperity and strength.
If they are middle generation dwarves, they probably won’t even cry if their companions die in battle. They will chop off the deceased’s head and take it with them, so that he can watch how the living companions fight and avenge him. Victory.
Afterwards, they would drink from the helmet of their dead companion, allowing him to share in the joy.
But... Roy lowered his head to hide a trace of sadness in his eyes.
The name Tie Xiaomao was equally familiar to him. He still remembered that ten years ago, this freckle-faced dwarf climbed a tree with him to retrieve bird eggs, but was chased and pecked by a first-level monster, a red-eyed delphinium.
.
But I didn't expect that this reunion would be a yin and yang.
Roy walked up to the dead dwarf, squatted down, and turned him over as he fell to the ground. He stared carefully at the face that still retained some childishness.
When the face in front of him overlapped with that of his childhood friend, he clenched his fists silently. He regretted that he had only sought safety to save others, but did not catch up and kill all the bandits!
Roy took out his ax and violently chopped off Tie Xiaomao's head.
This move of the young mercenary made Trek and others widen their eyes in shock. Several female mercenaries even screamed in surprise.
However, just when they clenched their sword hilts and prepared to stop a conflict, Alder stretched out his hand to stop them. Then, the mercenaries saw the six dwarves nodding to Roy with surprised and respectful eyes. The leader
Tie Xiaomao took a step forward, took Tie Xiaomao's head from Roy's hand, and hung it on his waist.
"This is the tradition of the dwarves." Alder said to the mercenaries and turned his attention to Roy.
This tradition of the dwarves is only understood by a few experienced mercenaries. Unexpectedly, here Ao, who looks like he is only in his twenties, knows so clearly.
He was the hero who saved these dwarves. And having him cut off the head of the dead dwarf was a sign of respect and recognition for the deceased.
For the stubborn and stubborn dwarves, although the life-saving grace is important, they can repay it with their own lives, so they don't take it too seriously. But Leo's move is a sign of respect for the dead and the dwarf tradition.
, they are far more grateful than the grace of saving lives.
Just when Alder was sighing secretly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and nearly a hundred patrol cavalry of the Munich City Guard were swept into the jungle like the wind.
They were notified by people sent by Alder during his escape. They were stationed at Warm Water Lake Castle, about fifteen kilometers away from here. The leading knight was none other than Todd.
This second-level Tiger Lieutenant who became the leader of Nuanshui Lake Castle because all the senior officers stationed in Fjord Town died in battle, has been promoted to the third-level Dragon School due to his outstanding performance in the Battle of Fjord. For a person who manages logistics
For the knight of justice, it can be said that he has risen to the top.
Now, he has officially become the commander of Nuanshui Lake Castle. He has more than 60 knights and nearly 300 cavalry under his command.
After receiving the news of distress, Todd immediately led his people and rushed over as quickly as possible. However, what he did not expect was that the bandits were beaten away by a caravan whose strength and strength were far inferior to theirs.
As he rode into the woods, Todd's eyes immediately fell on Roy.
Although the appearance of this young mercenary was very unfamiliar, for some reason, his body shape and temperament gave Todd a familiar feeling.
Especially when he heard Alder say that it was this young mercenary who used the bow and arrow in his hand to severely injure three Glory Knights and force them to retreat. Todd looked at Roy with even more curiosity and surprise.
This young mercenary reminded him of the black-haired boy who led a bunch of second-rate troops like himself and saved Lulian in a desperate situation.
Thinking of Roy, Todd's eyes couldn't help but darken. He still couldn't understand how such a young man could suffer divine punishment.
When the news first came, the garrison officers and soldiers of Nuanshui Lake Castle were filled with grief and anger. Everyone did not hesitate to curse in front of the priests in black who came to investigate. Even the messengers from the Kingdom of Heaven came to the fjord and passed by Nuanshui.
Lake Castle, no one went to greet him.
They expressed their attitude with silence and angry eyes. So now every time when the hymns and bells of the Kingdom of Heaven are ringing, the response in Nuanshui Lake Castle is all the children covering their ears, and the adults throwing their hands hard.
There was a sound at the door and an angry spit from the soldiers on the wall.
Shaking his head quickly to get these things out of his mind, Todd led the people to carefully inspect the scene.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
Listening to Alder's words, this bandit group is not only well-trained and strict, but also has four honorary knights among them. This is obviously not an ordinary bandit group. It is very likely that as Alder guessed, this is
A group of knights in the army pretending to be.
The traces at the scene also illustrate this point.
Whether it is the horseshoe marks on the ground, the battle traces left by the surrounding trees, or the scattered corpses and scattered weapons, it all shows that these bandits are not a ragtag group. They have excellent weapons, and during the battle, their formations are quite intact, and they gallop forward.
When it works, there are certain lines and coordination.
Such a team, let alone this small caravan, would not necessarily get a good deal even if the patrol team of mine collided head-on. If nothing else, the four Glory Knights alone would be enough for him to drink.
It's just a pot. It's not impossible that the whole army will be wiped out by one mistake.
Turning to look at the young mercenary named Leo, Todd frowned slightly.
He had no doubts about this young and powerful mercenary.
Firstly, it was someone who rescued the caravan after all, and secondly, Todd also knew that since the invasion of the demons, those strong men who used to be hidden among the crowd have surfaced one after another.
Not to mention those well-known old strong men, just talking about the younger generation, there have been several amazing figures in recent times.
They may be geniuses secretly cultivated by a wealthy family, or they may be outstanding disciples of a certain sword master, or they may be reserve forces cultivated by a certain knight order or a certain knight academy. They are released at this time in order to increase their experience and improve their strength as soon as possible.
, to welcome this troubled world.
Todd was convinced that this young mercenary named Leo was one of them. Otherwise, how could an ordinary mercenary have such great skills?
What worried Todd was the gang of bandits with unknown origins.
As we all know, in recent times, Lulian has become a place where major powers compete.
This is something that is inevitable and unavoidable. Just like a delicious honey cake, it will always attract the covetousness of rats and ants.
But as Lulians, from Archduke Adolf to ordinary soldiers and civilians, they all did not want this land that had just escaped from the war to suffer turmoil again because of those greedy guys.
Some time ago, Archduke Adolf made successive deployments to strengthen the security defense forces of major cities. At the same time, he promulgated a series of strict security regulations to restrain the behavior of major forces. Anyone who dares to destroy the peace and tranquility of Lulian will be punished.
Will become the enemy of the Lulian family.
On the surface, all the major forces expressed their obedience, but Todd knew that there were turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm surface of the river. Various overt and covert struggles were gradually showing signs of escalation.
Especially this time, there were knights in the army pretending to be bandits and attacking and killing caravans on Lulian's land. This is enough to prove how unscrupulous these people are.
Todd didn't know what the purpose of these people was, but he knew that it was somehow related to the current situation in Lulian, and there must be a conspiracy hidden in it. If they were allowed to run rampant in the land of Lulian, it might be necessary to
It won't be long before Lulian will be involved in a storm.
This matter must be reported to the Grand Duke as soon as possible!
Having made up his mind, Todd called Alder, walked up to a group of dwarves, and said: "Everyone, I must report this matter to the Grand Duke. From now on, I will personally escort you to Munich City. However,
After arriving in Munich, you must meet the Grand Duke with me."
Alder naturally had no objection to this, and several dwarves quarreled for a while. Although they didn't think it was useful to tell the human lords such things, they reluctantly agreed after hearing that Todd would escort him.
Todd turned his head and looked at Roy: "Mr. Leo, what about you?"
"I'm happy to oblige." Roy nodded, his eyes a little cold.
He was originally going to Munich, and it was just a matter of convenience to explain the situation of the attack. Moreover, he was also full of curiosity about the shady story behind this incident. He really wanted to know what kind of people did not know how to live or die.
, I want the lives of my childhood friends.
As long as he finds the culprit, he doesn't mind using the cruelest means to make the other party understand what regret means.
