The crowd of onlookers has been dispersed by the soldiers. The chapter is updated the fastest
Because the battle destroyed several houses and resulted in numerous civilian casualties, Sorg had to stay at the scene to deal with the aftermath.
Not long after, Avery arrived after receiving the news.
After asking about the situation, Avery and Sogg discussed and decided to replace Roy with several more powerful guard knights. At the same time, the guard strength was increased to a squadron.
In their opinion, since the Bano family has dispatched masters like the Black Demonic Snake at the first move, then if they do not move next time, they will definitely send masters whose strength far exceeds the Black Demonic Snake.
This level of fighting has exceeded the strength of the Munich City Guard. Except for a few generals such as Fano, there are really not many people in the army who can intervene. Therefore, this arrangement is not so much about protecting Roy.
, rather it is a gesture shown by the Munich City Guard.
"This is the person protected by the Lullian family. If you want to touch him, you have to step over the corpse of a squadron of Munich knights."
In the city of Munich, even a fool knows the consequences of killing thirty knights of the Munich City Guard Captain.
However, just when Avery and Sorg had reached a consensus and summoned their knights to prepare for deployment, they were stopped by Byron and Bradley.
"Mr. Bradley, what's the problem?" Sauger asked in surprise.
After Byron and Bradley arrived, the battle was over and the scene was under control without causing any greater commotion. Logically speaking, these two strong men recruited by the Archduke should have left long ago.
After all, city defense and security is the job of the Munich City Guard. It has no direct responsibility relationship with them.
The Grand Duke's recruitment of strong men this time was all in the name of the Grand Duke himself and his family.
These people are only loyal to him and are guests of the Lullian family. In terms of responsibilities and affiliations, they have no horizontal relationship with the Munich City Guard, the Bavarian Knights and the Coast Mercenary Group. The commanders of the three major armies
They have no right to mobilize them. They also have no right to interfere in military affairs.
In order to avoid unnecessary overlapping of authority and mutual interference, Adolf also specially established an organization called [Fire Bee Hall] for these powerful people, and clarified the rights and responsibilities.
However, Sog discovered that since Byron and Bradley heard that Roy had killed the Black Demon Snake, the expressions of these two powerful men from the Fire Bee Hall seemed a little strange.
Compared with the excitement displayed by the Lulian people who were watching, they seemed too calm.
After Roy left, they did not leave. The two stood aside, frowning, discussing in low voices or even arguing about something. Their eyes looked... even a little uncertain. It seemed that they had encountered something extremely difficult.
problem to solve.
"That's right," Bradley said seriously, "We believe that if the Bano family takes action next time, they will definitely send more powerful people. In this case, it would not be appropriate to let the knights of the guard protect Mr. Leo.
It’s suitable. I think this task should be undertaken by our Fire Bee Hall.”
This...Sogg and Avery looked at each other, both a little surprised.
Bradley's judgment coincided with theirs. And his proposal was a timely help for the Munich City Guard. After all, compared to the Munich City Guard, which was used to garrison the city and fight in the field,
As far as the military is concerned, these strong men from the Fire Bee Hall are better at protection.
Avery, in particular, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, he had thought about it before Bradley proposed it. But he knew that this was essentially a problem for the Munich Guards. Therefore.
Even though he was also a subordinate of Archduke Adolf, it was not convenient for him to speak without the Grand Duke's order.
And now that Bradley has brought it up personally, it couldn't be better. With these powerful men from the Fire Bee Hall, it won't be that easy for the Bano family to attack Leo again.
"Mr. Bradley," Avery said, "I can't thank you enough."
"Where..." Bradley waved his hand and said, "Since we have joined the Lullian family, we are one family. Naturally we have the same hatred. Besides, the Grand Duke is kind and generous and treats us well. The Bano family is actually admiring us.
If Nicheng takes action, we cannot stand by and watch."
After hearing this, Avery and Sorg had no doubts. They thanked Bradley and Byron, explained some of Roy's situation, left a small team of long knights to assist, and left in a hurry.
Regarding tonight's conflict, there is still a lot of aftermath work to be done. And Archduke Adolf is still waiting for their report.
Watching the knights of the Munich City Guard leave, Byron, who had remained silent, turned his head and whispered to Bradley: "Bradley, are you sure you want to do this? If Fano knows the truth by then,
I'm afraid we have completely offended the Munich City Guard. Besides, the Grand Duke..."
Before Byron finished speaking, Bradley interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
Under the night, Bradley's eyes were staring at the departing figures of Avery and Sogg, and said coldly: "Don't worry, we are really planning for the Grand Duke by doing this. When the time comes, even if
On the surface, the Grand Duke blames us, but he also understands in his heart that we are doing the right thing."
He turned his head and stared into Byron's eyes: "Think about it, if this mercenary hadn't taken action in the South Gate matter, would we, Lulian, have had a head-on conflict with the Bano family?"
"No." Byron shook his head.
This is indeed the case. After all, it was only a dwarf convoy that was attacked. Although the Bano family was arrogant, they only destroyed a few carts of food. It did not touch the interests of any family. Even if a few civilians died during the attack
, that’s not a big deal.
As far as the Lullian family is concerned, at best they are just not very good-looking.
But it was precisely because Leo took action and killed five members of the Banau family and captured two more that the situation deteriorated sharply. The deaths of the five Banau family knights angered the Banau family. And the confessions of the two prisoners,
The Bano family as the masterminds behind the scenes has surfaced, and the Lullian family can no longer turn a blind eye.
"If this kid dies in the hands of the Black Demonic Snake tonight, the Grand Guild may be very angry in a short time and even break out into a conflict with the Bano family. But in the long run, this is actually a good thing.
Here, Ao is just an ordinary mercenary. The Bano family has damaged my face, Lulian, and will naturally pay it back in other ways, maybe even more. As for the Grand Duke, after all, it is impossible for him to be an ordinary mercenary.
I really have to pay the price of going to war with the Bano family..."
As he said that, Bradley's eyes flashed. He said coldly: "But now, the Black Devil Snake is dead, but this kid is alive... Byron, based on your understanding of the Bano family, do you think they will swallow this?"
Tone, are you going to let O here live?"
"No!" Byron said.
"This is the crux of the matter," Bradley said decisively, "The Barnault family has always been arrogant and domineering. Not only will they not swallow this tone, but they will get worse. They will not give up until they kill this kid. And this
As long as the boy is still alive and in this city of Munich, the Grand Duke cannot ignore him..."
As he said that, he looked at Byron with a cold look: "Think about it, what kind of consequences will it have?"
Byron felt his throat was dry. After a long time, he swallowed hard and spit out a word.
"war!"
"That's right. It's a war," Bradley said with half-squinted eyes. "A war with the Barno family. Maybe it will involve other families as well! Think about the relationship between His Majesty Donald and Edward.
Relationship, think about the current political situation in the empire, do we really want to light this powder keg for a mercenary?"
Without waiting for Byron to answer, Bradley answered himself: "No, we absolutely cannot watch this happen. Therefore, this mercenary..."
His eyes flashed fiercely in the night, "It's better to die!"

The music is still melodious and the lights are still bright.
The dance party in the hall on the first floor has entered its climax with the music. The cheerful Balal slide dance has a continuous fast beat, making the guests in the hall look like pairs of neatly arranged butterflies, dancing in the crystal
The lights rotate and shuttle. It's dazzling.
But on the second floor platform, no one had the intention to appreciate these.
Everyone was in dead silence. Some people were confused, some were looking around in disbelief, and some were frowning and thinking.
"The black snake has been killed!"
Even the calmest people were at a loss when they heard the news.
On the one hand, everyone was shocked that the mercenary named Leo actually killed the Black Demonic Snake, but on the other hand, they realized that the situation was out of control and running in a direction they did not want to see.
Finally, as a noble exclaimed in a low voice, the silence was broken, and everyone was whispering and discussing.
"This is bad!"
"The Bano family will never give up!"
"The Black Demon Snake is just a cheap life. However, Nao has already killed five knights of the Bano family before, and now he has killed the Black Demon Snake. It would be a joke for the Bano family not to kill him! Unless the Bano family
All the people are dead!"
"Besides, it's hard for Archduke Adolf to ride a tiger!"
"Yes. The Black Devil Snake was killed in full view of the public, and the matter cannot be covered up. Even if it was just for the sake of face, Archduke Adolf would send someone to protect this mercenary. If so many knights from the Munich City Guard died,
The matter has become a big deal. The two families are immediately in a fight to the death!"
"No, we must not let this happen. Otherwise, when those aliens see us fighting among ourselves, they will definitely sit back and watch the fight. At that time, if you want to convince them, you will have to pay a higher price. What's more,
, even we ourselves may be involved!"
"That's right!"
"Then what should we do now?"
Amidst the commotion and noise, Scarlett frowned. She turned her head and looked at the other nobles beside her.
There are five main initiators and leaders of this blockade against alien races.
In addition to Scarlett, who represented Prince Anthony, there were also Richard, the third son of Archduke Ferro of the Principality of Saxony, Margrave Oscar, an important minister under Archduke Hodgson of Sinasili, and Charles of the Knights of the Tomahawk.
The other one is the Bano family.
These five families all play an important role in the aristocratic class of the Solan Empire. Under their alliance, even Grand Duke Adolf had to remain silent. But other families, as long as they still have a little sense, will not take the risk.
The risk of going to war with these five families is to draw chestnuts from the fire.
Within the five major families, there is cooperation and competition.
Jointly blockading the alien race and forcing the alien race to surrender is cooperation, but in terms of profit distribution, everyone also has their own ideas and wants to get the biggest share.
However, it is no longer time to consider the distribution of benefits.
With the death of the Black Demon Snake, Scarlett can completely imagine how things will develop next.
Just like Scarlett, the representatives of the other three families present also had livid faces.
"Everyone, it seems that we need to study the countermeasures carefully." Scarlett took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said to Charles, Oscar and Richard.
"That damn mercenary!" Richard from Saxony gritted his teeth.
This is a thin young man, only less than three centimeters taller than Scarlett. He has dark skin, a pair of thick eyebrows and a pair of deep-set eyes. He is a typical southerner from mainland China.
However, it would definitely be a mistake to underestimate him based on his appearance.
In fact, His Highness Richard, who is only 27 years old, is now a Great Light One-Star Knight. His strength is outstanding among the top geniuses in the empire. Even the most powerful Lulian family
The talented Sophia was firmly suppressed by him.
Archduke Ferro liked this son very much. During the invasion of demons, Archduke Ferro also sent Richard to Lullian and asked him to preside over the interests of major Saxon families and business groups.
In Scarlett's joint plan against alien races, Richard was the first to join.
The reason is simple. Because he is Scarlett's suitor.
It can even be said that among the younger generation of nobles in the empire, Richard is one of the most promising candidates to marry Scarlett, both in terms of status and talent.
In the past, Richard didn't have much contact with Scarlett. It was through this cooperation that he became familiar with Scarlett and became friends who can talk and laugh without restraint.
But what Richard didn't expect was that he mobilized a large amount of funds and manpower to fully cooperate with Scarlett's plan and wanted to take advantage of the success of the plan. On the one hand, he would make contributions to the Principality of Saxony, and on the other hand, he would take a step further with Scarlett.
At that time, the appearance of a mercenary made things complicated.
This made Richard extremely angry.
"Okay, Richard. Now is not the time to complain. Let's discuss countermeasures..." Marquis Oscar of Sinasili smiled coldly and said to Charles and Scarlett, "Let's get straight to the point. I think that between the Lulian family and
If I had to choose between the Bano family, I would rather face the Lullian family."
Scarlett and Charles both nodded. This was exactly what they were thinking.
After all, the Bano family is also one of the five major families in this joint operation. Moreover, these four major families have also acquiesced in their attack on the dwarf convoy. If this is used as a reason to force the Bano family to retreat, they will immediately
It will shake the foundation of this joint operation.
Besides, everyone knows that Donald is behind the Barnes & Noble family.
Not to mention that the Tomahawk Renault family to which Charles belongs is also a family of Donald. Even the other three families are not willing to offend Donald.
On the other hand, things are much simpler on Lulian's side.
What they paid for was just a mercenary who had nothing to do with them.
Since the death of this mercenary can calm the anger of the Bano family, why not do it? In the war between two wealthy families, the life of an ordinary mercenary is too cheap. Let alone a mercenary.
, even a mercenary group is no more than an ant-like existence in the eyes of these wealthy families.
"That mercenary is totally looking for death," Richard said. "How can he interfere in such a thing? Humph, if I were Bano, I would have to kill him."
"If I were Adolf," Oscar sneered, "I would not go to war with the Banaud family over such a nosy guy."
"You two are right," Scarlett said calmly, "However, with Archduke Adolf's personality, it is unrealistic for him to just watch the Bano family kill the mercenary. The Lulian family still wants to show their dignity.
Of course, this is without external pressure. And once we jointly put pressure on Archduke Adolf, I'm afraid he will seriously consider it. After all, Lulian is full of things to do now. In a place where strangers and ancestors are unfamiliar
He doesn’t have many choices between foundations.”
After saying that, Scarlett said: "Let's go, we should go talk to the respected Grand Duke. But before that..." Her green eyes flashed with a faint cold light under the light: "Maybe we should do something
Prepare to help the Grand Duke make up his mind."

Wind and clouds are changing over the city of Munich under the darkness of night.
Roy, led by Tie Xiaoshan, followed the hillside path and came to the small white building where the dwarves lived.
"We will live here," Tie Xiaoshan explained sheepishly as he led Roy to the front of the building. "This is just our temporary residence. The conditions... are not very good... If you have a chance in the future, you can come to our house."
Let’s go to the dungeon. I’m not bragging, our Iron Ministry’s dungeon is the most majestic among all tribes..."
Amidst Tie Xiaoshan's chattering voice, Roy turned his head and looked around.
No wonder Tie Xiaoshan looked embarrassed. In fact, judging from the small building they rented part-time, their situation did seem a bit embarrassing.
This small building is located at the top of this civilian area that stretches on the hillside. It is surrounded by densely built simple houses. The heights are staggered and the orientations are different. Between many houses, there is only one
The narrow aisles used by people are also filled with garbage and debris, making them look extremely messy.
It's not that the dwarves have no money. In fact, these guys are quite wealthy.
Their natural talents in mining and casting have made the armor and weapons they forged in short supply in the human world. Those business groups in the past tried their best to do business with them. It can be said that there is a way to the underground of the dwarves.
The city's caravans are a gold mine.
But now, with the shortage of food, prices are soaring. In order to purchase food, the dwarves must save every penny. And that's it, the food they worked tirelessly to transport back from the south was burned. Roy can completely imagine that,
How did Xiaoshan and the others feel when they saw the convoy being burned?
Fortunately, Lulian had to bear these losses. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to see the smiles on Xiao Shan and the others' faces at this moment.
"The second patriarch, the treacherous and slippery elder, we are back!"
As soon as he walked into the foyer, Tie Xiaochui spread his short legs and ran in, shouting loudly.
As the floor shook, Roy saw a few stocky dwarves rushing down the stairs like rhinoceroses. One of them, with braids on his head that looked like rows of grape trellises in a manor, grabbed the iron
Little Hammer picked it up and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's Little Hammer! Little Hammer is back!"
"Hurry up! Let me see," the other two old dwarves with gray beards grabbed half of Tie Xiaochui's face, pulled his eyes, picked his nose and pulled his mouth, until Tie Xiaochui screamed, and then they gave him to him.
He let go and laughed loudly: "Yes, it's the little bastard Xiao Chui. Hahaha."
Roy's eyelids twitched as he watched.
These dwarfs, young and old, all have such a fucking ungrateful character. At best, they are naive, but at worst, they are just a bunch of **.
Roy had been screwed by these guys a lot in the past, and this shadow continues even now. As soon as he saw Little Hammer being pulled around like a pimple by a bunch of old dwarves, Roy felt his face hurt. But it was obvious.
He looked like a small hammer, his face was turned red, and he was still heartless and silly.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tie Xiaoshan and others also ran over happily.
It was the same drama again, and it wasn't until a bunch of dwarfs were tortured that the three old dwarves felt that something was wrong. The clan leader Tie Laoer, who wore braids, glared and asked: "Where's that little bastard Xiaomao?
"
The atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Tie Xiaoshan lowered his head and slowly took out Tie Xiaomao's head from the leather bag on his waist, his eyes immediately turned red.
"Clan leader, Xiaomao was killed."
After saying that, Tie Xiaoshan burst into tears. As soon as he cried, Xiao Zhui, Xiao Xia and others all felt sad and burst into tears. Especially Xiao Zhui, who had been pinched so hard that his face was red and purple, and he burst into tears. He looked very sad.
Externally funny.
But for some reason, Roy only felt his nose was sore.
His eyes fell on the faces of the second patriarch and the two elders. The old dwarves who were smiling just now were completely confused. They looked at their children blankly, their lips trembling, and their eyes were filled with confusion.
I feel distressed and sad. My whole body seems to have aged ten years at once.
"What's going on?" Clan leader Tie Laoer asked in a trembling voice.
Tie Xiaoshan sobbed and recounted what he had experienced along the way. Finally, he turned to look at Roy standing at the door and said, "If Mr. Leo hadn't saved us, we might not be able to come back just like Xiao Mao."
At this time, the eyes of the three old dwarves fell on Roy.
Especially when they heard that the human mercenary named Leo not only rescued Xiao Shan and other dwarf children, but also cut off Xiao Mao's head and brought it back according to the dwarf tradition, the three old dwarves looked at Roy.
, changed instantly. His eyes were filled with gratitude and respect.
However, as he watched, the gaze of the clan leader Tie Laoer changed, and soon the gazes of the two elders also changed.
The three of them looked at each other with extremely strange expressions!
