Morton's heavy steps stopped in front of Ralph. His red eyes were like a beast staring at its prey, looking extremely cold.
"Why, are you also interested in the things here?"
"No." Ralph said calmly.
Although his voice was as calm as usual, Scarlett, who was familiar with him, could detect a hint of murderous intent. It was like a tiger meeting a similar species invading its territory.
"Oh?" Morton was a little surprised.
His eyes glanced at Scarlett. He seemed to be exploring the reason why Ralph came here.
Looking at these terrifying eyes, Scarlett felt that her whole body was stiff and her hands and feet were cold. Fortunately, this time did not last long. Soon, Morton's lifeless eyes turned away and returned to La La.
On Wolf.
"Whether you are really not interested or not, you should know the consequences of blocking my way." Morton said.
His voice was dry and hoarse, and his tone had no fluctuation. Just like his lifeless face, it gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Ralph sneered and said nothing.
"Ten years ago, I failed to kill you, which makes me regretful to this day." Morton licked his lips. This action made his face become more ferocious and terrifying, "So, you'd better not give me a chance for a while.
Otherwise, I will chop you into pieces bit by bit."
Ralph's hand holding the ax handle tightened suddenly, and he said solemnly: "Really? I would like to try it."
Seeing the tension between the two of them, Scarlett's eyes flashed. She took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Morton, do you know who you are threatening?"
As a member of the imperial royal family, the only daughter of Prince Anthony, and the granddaughter of Caesar of the Lanlith family, Scarlett's words are naturally of unusual weight.
Morton glanced at Scarlett, twitched his cheeks, showed a smile of unknown meaning, turned around and walked back.
Scarlett pursed her lips and turned to look at Ralph.
"Ten years ago, I fought against him." Ralph said, "The scar on his face was what I left for him."
"Oh?" Scarlett asked, "What about you?"
"I had broken bones all over my body and 127 major and minor wounds. I lay in bed for three hundred days. I almost died," said Ralph.
Although Ralph's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business, Scarlett couldn't help but shudder. She could completely imagine the pain of lying in bed and suffering every day.
"Why?" Scarlett asked.
"He killed my women and children," said Ralph, "and then I killed his whole family of thirty-seven."
Looking at Ralph's expressionless face, Scarlett was stunned.
Only now did she understand what Morton's weird smile meant. Those threats were all just for her. If it was just Ralph, he would have taken action long ago!
………
Time passes minute by minute.
The red light shrouding the stone bridge is still the same. No matter how hard people try, no one can break it.
During this period of time, more people arrived one after another. Every time someone appeared, the eyes of Scarlett, Sandra and the nine men in black would carefully search the crowd. But unfortunately, they all
The person I was looking for never showed up.
Scarlett seemed a little irritable.
Ever since that night in Munich, I didn't seem to have had any good luck. Not only did the long-planned plan collapse, but I also paid a large ransom. Since entering the abyss, I have encountered dark clouds and almost lost my life.
After finally getting here, I met Ralph's old enemy.
What's more important is that the guy I want to find has not appeared yet. Maybe he has died on the way.
This made Scarlett feel that her trip to the abyss was a mistake.
Scarlett felt a little incredible now. Originally, she should have returned to her home in the imperial capital, sitting in the warm sunshine in the backyard and drinking afternoon tea.
But at that time, despite McCallan's repeated dissuasion, he insisted on coming here as if possessed. There seemed to be something fatal and irresistible that was attracting him.
Thinking of this, Scarlett found that thin and cold figure reappeared in her mind, like a lingering ghost!
Scarlett bit her lip hard.
At this moment, there was a commotion among the crowd outside. After a moment, several figures running towards them appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"They're from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group." Ralph stared into the distance and frowned.
"Why are they..." Scarlett noticed something was wrong. Unlike the team led by Morton, these Thunderstorm mercenaries were unkempt and covered in blood. One of them staggered and fell to the ground while running.
The companion next to me helped him and walked over.
The people around were pointing and talking.
The Thunderstorm mercenaries quickly rushed over and brought these people to Moton.
I saw these people kneeling in front of Morton and didn't know what they said. Scarlett actually saw that Morton's face changed obviously. A ferocious aura filled the air without concealment. Those red eyes
His eyes were shining with a cold and cruel light.
"What happened?" Everyone whispered to each other.
Soon, news came from the crowd near the Thunderstorm mercenaries.
"Gner was killed!"
This sentence shocked everyone. Immediately afterwards, another earth-shattering news came one after another.
"Not only did Gena die, but the seven Thunderstorm mercenary teams he led were completely wiped out. Only a few of the team of nearly a hundred people escaped in the end."
People were stunned, and there was a sound of swallowing saliva with difficulty all around.
After a long time, someone asked: "There are fifteen teams in the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group. Isn't this only half left?"
"More than that. I heard that there are two teams that are also missing. Now only people like Moton are left. Now, hey, the situation will be different."
"Oh my god, who did this?"
"I heard it's Landero and Alves from the Ice Star Mercenary Group. There are also several other mercenary groups that have joined forces with them."
"The person who killed Genna seems to be a young mercenary named Leo."
Hearing this, Scarlett's eyes lit up like a torch in the dark night. She subconsciously grabbed Ralph's arm.
"Who is Leo? Why haven't you heard of him?"
"Yes, Gena is a five-star knight of great light. Will he die in the hands of a young mercenary?"
"It doesn't matter who killed him, anyway..."
Scarlett didn't hear much of the rest of the words. She turned her head and saw the shocked look Ralph cast at her.
………
The news spread among the people, becoming more and more widespread.
Everyone who heard the news had expressions of astonishment, horror, disbelief and other disbeliefs on their faces. Many people even had fierce arguments.
Everyone knows the relationship between the Ice Star Mercenary Group and the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group. No one would find it strange that the Ice Star Mercenary Group and the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group were fighting. But as we all know, the Ice Star Mercenary Group is not only in danger in the war outside
, and this time to explore the abyss, only two teams were sent in.
Moreover, according to people who know the situation of the Ice Star Mercenary Group, Landro's team should still rely on Landro's experience as a veteran for many years when the Ice Star Mercenary Group is unable to provide resources and manpower.
The friendship formed in the mercenary world was organized by myself.
On the other hand, looking at the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, they are really strong.
Any one of the fifteen elite teams is the best among the southern mercenaries. Not only is he powerful, but he is also experienced and ruthless. Coupled with the weapons and armor that are far superior to other mercenary groups, he is simply a
A walking humanoid murder weapon.
With such a comparison of strength, if the Ice Star Mercenary Group could hold on for a few more minutes, everyone would already think it was amazing. Who would believe that they actually destroyed their opponents in turn.
This is simply a fantasy!
"With the configuration of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, there will be at least four Great Bright Knights in the seven mercenary teams, right?"
In the crowd, a fat mercenary was frothing at the mouth, "What's more, there is a five-star knight of great light like Gena. Nearly a hundred elites are in front of them. Hey, let's not talk about others, nor talk about annihilating them all."
If they are like this, who among us has the courage to go up and touch them?"
He looked around and finally came to a conclusion: "So, this is just a rumor! Even if something really happened, it couldn't have been done by the Ice Star mercenaries."
Everyone nodded.
"David, what do you think?" Not far away, Sandra looked away, gently shaking the amber-like wine in the glass with her jade fingers, and thoughtfully asked a knight standing next to her.
There are fifteen Iron Guards under the Storm Queen.
Therefore, David is not a name, but a number. The number one Iron Guard is called David.
Hearing Sandra's question, David said: "Master, you once said that as a killer, mastering intelligence and drawing useful information from the intelligence is the basis of all actions. And intelligence can be true or false, but it does not matter if it is absurd.
It’s not absurd. No matter how absurd the facts are, they are still facts.”
Sandra showed a smile of approval: "So..."
"This news was told by the people of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group themselves. Instead of suspecting them of lying, I think they dare not deceive Morton. This is one of them."
David analyzed: "Secondly, if it were just an Ice Star mercenary, I might still be suspicious. But since there is that kid, it makes sense. He can kill the Bano family guards with corpses everywhere, and even
He also killed Barno Jr. and Fred. So it’s not surprising that he killed Genna.”
Sandra smiled slightly and nodded.
Her eyes passed over Scarlett, Morton, and the black executioners, and she said faintly: "It seems that we have taken on an interesting mission. I can't wait to meet this kid."...
