Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 399: The Bad News of the Regiment's Destruction Reached Backlund

Hobert laughed twice, he finally killed a Sequence 5!

But now is not the time to be happy, he saw some "villagers" in the village coming towards this side.

In fact, when Hobert learned that the "Retribution Knight" was running back, he had already guessed that there should be at least one mercenary squad in this village.

In the first surprise attack, the "Retribution Knight" would choose to flee immediately because he did not feel the threat to his life.

And he is also a Sequence 5 anyway, looking at the entire Northern Continent, there must be no more than twenty mercenary teams with a Sequence 5 as the captain.

Hobert guessed that it should be his self-esteem that kept him from asking his peers for help.

And Hobert's second sneak attack injured the "Retribution Knight", making him realize that he would probably die in Fennerport.

So he rushed back, first to save his life, and second, to design a trap with his colleagues to hunt and kill Hobert who might make a third surprise attack.

"Retribution Knight" is a hunter, but at the same time he is also a prey, and the hunter and the prey will always switch positions inadvertently.

Hobert had already guessed that he might set up a trap, so after his state recovered a bit, he immediately launched a third attack, and finally succeeded at the last moment.

Hobert used the ability of the "psychic wine glass" to speed up the precipitation of extraordinary characteristics.

After obtaining the Extraordinary characteristic of "Retribution Knight", Hobert noticed that the other party's bracelet was a bit special. He felt that it should be a magical item when he got it in his hand.

Just after getting the booty, those "villagers" were only tens of meters away from Hobart.

Hobart smiled and waved at them, before disappearing into the void.

Several "villagers" observed in surprise for a while, and they came to the battlefield when they saw that Hobert had left completely. One of them said, "It's Erwin! He...he's dead!"

The one who spoke was Terrence, the deputy captain of the "Blizzard Squad".

Their captain Victor looked at Erwin's body for a second or two and said, "Get out of here immediately! It was Hobert who killed Erwin just now, and it was also Hobert who attacked the 'Cold Night Squad' in the early hours of the morning. .

"Our intelligence is wrong, Hobert is more powerful than imagined!"

……

Hobert returned to the Lord's Mansion, ordered Philip to find a tailor to make some cloaks for him, and then went back to catch up on sleep. He originally planned to explore Full Moon Lake today.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, he planned to take a good rest today and talk about it tomorrow.

Around the Lord's Mansion, there are still a large number of small town residents.

When the town's strong young men came back with excited faces and told their families what they had seen last night, the residents couldn't believe it.

According to their usual experience, they had to stay halfway up the mountain for several days until the lord drove the monsters away with flames and traps before returning home.

But the people who went out to support the Lord yesterday told them that all the monsters in the town were killed!Sir, he even killed the leader of a monster!
This is incredible.

But when they saw the corpses of monsters placed outside the town like fish caught one after another, they had to believe what the young adults said.

At this time, some people recalled the Lord who was bathed in the holy light yesterday. Many people knelt down and bowed in the Lord's Mansion before going down the mountain and returning to the town.

At noon, Hobert finally got enough sleep. He woke up refreshed and found that his potion had been almost completely digested.

Apparently yesterday he became the "Lighthouse" and killed so many monsters, once again making the residents of the town recognize his status as a lord and support him more as a lord.

Leaving his bedroom, Hobert knocked on Forsi's door, but no one answered. At first he thought it was Forsi who had returned to Backlund, but he realized it wasn't during lunch. Forsi went to The town saw monsters.

Just after eating a few bites, Fors also came back. It turned out that she went to draw the monster's shape, and planned to use it as an illustration for a new book in the future.

Hobert took a few glances at Forsi's painting, and the painting was quite vivid.

Then it occurred to Hobart, whom to ask what monsters these were?Are there spiritual materials on them?
Soon he thought of two people, one was Christine, and the other was Backlund's vampire Emlyn.

The former has corresponding knowledge, while the latter is very familiar with medicine, and should have a lot of knowledge about spiritual medicine and spiritual materials.

After thinking about it again, Hobert thought of a third person: Bishop Simpson.

In the end, Hobert decided to write to Bishop Simpson. Although he had only met him once, he could accumulate the relationship and contacts of the Church of the Mother Earth and the Kingdom of Fenepot through him.

Since you are not familiar with each other, you will be familiar with so many contacts.

……

Backlund, Queens Road.

Harvey Hayden followed in the footsteps of everyone to the underground theater to participate in the party held here.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the party officially started.

According to the usual practice, the team formation session started first, and a middle-aged woman stood up in the front row and said, "The captain of the Blizzard Team sent a telegram in the morning, saying that the 'Cold Night Team' was eliminated by Hobert, and he wanted to... ..."

coax~
The voices of discussion in the theater immediately overwhelmed the voices of middle-aged women.

But soon, everyone was overwhelmed by a huge coercion, and no one dared to continue talking.

And the source of coercion is the old man sitting on the stage wearing a golden mask.

After the order was restored, the coercion gradually disappeared. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after another ten seconds of silence, someone asked, "Is Erwin dead too?"

"Yes." The middle-aged woman said.

Harvey Hayden finally recovered from the shock, and he continued to ask: "Did Hobert kill it? Or was he killed by his father?"

"Hobert!" The middle-aged woman said in an affirmative tone: "Victor saw Hobert kill Irwin with his own eyes.

"Our intelligence is wrong, and Hobert is much better than the intelligence, so Victor hopes that I can help him find the contact information of the 'prairie wolf team'.

"Victor plans to share the bounty with Steven (the leader of the Prairie Wolf team)."

There were several bursts of laughter in the theater immediately.

In the mercenary world, there is a clear hierarchy of mission levels.

For tasks like the ten-thousand-pound class, only powerful mercenary teams like the "Cold Night Squad" are eligible to take on them.

Because Hobert's bounty was too high and his strength was too weak, he was targeted by three powerful mercenaries at the same time. Before they set off, they discussed in this theater which team would carry out the first round of attack.

The "Cold Night Squad" fought for a long time, and Erwin did not hesitate to use some favors to get the chance to attack in the first round.

In everyone's opinion, whoever gets the chance to carry out the first round of attacks is equivalent to getting the [-] pound reward.

I didn't expect to be wiped out by the group like this. Everyone was surprised, but also thought it was a little funny, so some people laughed.

Harvey Hayden let out a long sigh: It seems that I was worried for nothing. After all, he is the son of Chief Christine, and he may have inherited the gene for miracles.

　Thanks to [yu2003] for the reward
