Chapter 385 The Destruction of the Barton Family

Although Roger had been "fighting" with Anna and Sophia almost continuously for a long time after returning from the duel in front of the gods, he still arrived at the Magician's Tower on time the next morning. 【】Magician's Guild is a powerful support, and the relationship between Roger and Master Vader is very good. Of course, he wants to maintain this situation.

Roger is now the honorary president of the Thorne Kingdom Branch of the Magician's Guild, and there is no need to wait for notification to enter the Magician's Tower.He even has the right to directly enter Master Vader's magic laboratory, which was an honor that he didn't even dare to think about before.

But everything is the corresponding harvest and pay.Roger has such rights, so naturally he has to pay the corresponding price.For the next two full days, he stayed in the Tower of the Mage, helping Master Vader translate those obscure and complicated ancient elves.

Of course, it was no big deal to Roger.He mastered almost all the languages ​​in the world of Turonzo. Translating these scrolls left by the ancient elves was like translating elementary school English textbooks for Roger, without any pressure at all.

After three days of busy work, Roger translated a lot of ancient elven scrolls for Master Vader. On the fourth day, he said goodbye to Vader on the grounds that he had too many elven words and his eyes were blurred.Master Vader was also afraid that Roger would be dazzled, and it would be bad if he mistranslated the content on the scroll, so Master Vader simply asked Roger to go back to rest, and personally sent him outside the Tower of the Sorcerer.

The real reason why Roger wanted to leave was of course not that his eyes were dazzled, but because he received news that the Barton family left Mandos City yesterday and returned to the fiefdom.

For this aristocratic family that was already completely hostile, Roger would not have the slightest illusion, thinking that there was still a possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.Roger killed all the heirs of his family. Unless the old Barton suddenly got Alzheimer's, the hatred would last forever.

Since the hatred between the two parties cannot be resolved, it is better to completely eliminate the other party. This is the logic Roger learned after coming to the world of Torenzo.Of course, the Barton family is not very easy to deal with when they are in the city of Mandos, but if they go out of the city... then everything will be easy to handle.

In fact, as a veteran aristocratic family in the kingdom, the Barton family naturally knew what would happen to a family that lost power.Anything can happen on the road before returning to the safety of family territory.So the old Patton spent a lot of money to protect the safety of the entire team.

These people include knights loyal to the old Barton, private soldiers raised by the Barton family, and even mercenaries recruited from the Adventurer's Union, forming a team of more than 500 people.There are many bronze and even silver experts among them, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

However, due to conflicts with Master Vader and the Magician's Union a few days ago, several magicians who served the Barton family all left.This made the old Barton feel pity secretly, and at the same time, he also scolded those magicians for their immorality, and they all left at this time.But in the Kingdom Heart area, a team of 500 people is enough to ensure safety.In fact, when many aristocrats travel in the country, they usually take only a few knights and maids on the road. There are absolutely very few nobles who have such a grand ostentation like the Barton family.

But the old Barton still underestimated the strength in Roger's hands, so a tragedy happened on the second day after the team left Mandos City.

A team of 500 people protected the Patton family's convoy and slowly moved forward, when a loud roar of dragons suddenly sounded in the sky.Then a huge red dragon swooped down, and with its first breath, the two knights walking in front of the team and dozens of soldiers beside them were all reduced to ashes.

The originally neat team immediately became chaotic.

The knights yelled "Protect the master!" and ordered the soldiers to line up beside the carriages of several important figures in the family; They suddenly left the road and disappeared into the grass; the servants and maids shouted in panic, as if they were scaring away the dragon with just shouting.

The Barton family is worthy of being an old family. The knights and soldiers under its command are all well-trained and elite. Even in the face of the dragon, they didn't panic in the slightest, at least on the surface.However, their reaction just exposed the positions of several important figures in the family.The empty red dragon gracefully turned half a circle, and swooped down to the ground again. This time, her target was the few well-protected carriages.

"Shoot the arrow!" the eye dragon flew lower and lower, and the captain of the Barton family shouted hoarsely.

The soldiers shot arrows at the dragon one after another, and suddenly the sharp arrows flew in the air like locusts.However, these sharp arrows that are fatal to humans cannot cause any harm to the dragon at all.The arrow made a soft "jingling" sound when it hit the giant dragon, but it couldn't penetrate the hard scales of the red dragon at all.The red dragon completely ignored the attack of the arrow, and lowered its head to breathe out a deadly dragon's breath.

This time the giant dragon attacked on target. Amidst the screams, the two closely guarded carriages and the surrounding soldiers were all turned into ashes, and the people in the carriages naturally did not escape the same fate.

"Bastard!" Seeing that two important members of the family were killed, the knight commander also cursed angrily.However, the soldiers' short bows and light crossbows had no effect on the giant dragon, and all the mages had left the family. The Barton family had no way to fight back against the dragon's attack.

If the magicians who worked for the Barton family were still there, the family guard might still have the power to resist.After all, there are still several super magicians, who can also cast magic enough to cause damage to dragons.Even if Jenson Button wasn't dead, he wouldn't be able to fully resist like he is now.

But in reality, there are not so many "ifs". The empty red dragon is like everyone's worst nightmare. Every time, it turns around and flies back gracefully, and then takes a dozen lives.Those who stayed to protect the carriage were those who were loyal to the Barton family, and there were only more than 300 people in total.After being swooped back and forth by the red dragon several times in the air, the number of people has almost been reduced by half, and they did not cause a little damage to the red dragon at all.Anyone can tell that it is only a matter of time before the entire Barton family guard is wiped out.

Old Barton sat in his carriage, listening to the chaotic sounds outside with a pale face.The roar of the dragon, the roar of the knights, and the screams of the soldiers mixed together, giving him the illusion that the end of the world was coming.

As if by a miracle, Old Patton's carriage was still intact, but the horses and coachman pulling the cart in front had disappeared. Before the dragon's attack turned them all into ashes, Old Patton could no longer escape in the carriage.

During the interval between the red dragon's attack, the captain of the knight opened the door of the carriage, and hurriedly said to old Barton: "My lord, you must leave immediately. I will bring some of the best knights to protect you!"

Looking at the knight commander who was loyal to him, the old Barton smiled miserably: "Leave? It's too late."

"No, we can protect you..." The knight commander insisted on performing his duties. At this moment, the dragon flew down again, as if to prove that what old Barton said was right, he opened his mouth and sprayed a light breath at his carriage. Red dragon's breath.

The red dragon flying in the air also believed that the person in this carriage was a big shot, and it also breathed out the dragon's breath very hard.A light red mist not only completely enveloped the carriage, but also engulfed all the knights and soldiers guarding the carriage.

The other knight commander has silver-level strength, but he still can't resist the attack of the dragon's breath.He let out a miserable cry, and that gleaming armor became rusty in an instant, and many places were completely gone, revealing the bloody flesh and blood of the knight commander.

Even though he was protected by battle qi, the knight commander still seemed to have bathed in concentrated sulfuric acid. The flesh and skin all over his body were severely rotten, and his bones were even exposed in some places.After taking a few steps forward with this extremely terrifying image, the Knight Commander finally fell to the ground and remained motionless.

But the other people who were enveloped by the dragon's breath were not as lucky as him, they were all reduced to ashes.Whether it was Barton, the patriarch of the Barton family, or the knights and soldiers, no one survived.

The other survivors were all shocked at this scene, and the last bit of fighting spirit disappeared in an instant.The most important members of the family are dead, the knight commander is also dead, and most of the family guard members are also dead. There is no point in continuing to fight.So the remaining members of the family guards and servants scattered and fled to the bushes on both sides of the road.

The red dragon seemed to have something to say, and hovered over the convoy for a while, turning a few guys who were running slower into ashes.It wasn't until it was confirmed that there was no one around that the red dragon slowly landed on the ground and turned back into a sexy and enchanting beauty.

Is this beauty Sophia or who?In order to eradicate the Barton family, Roger had no choice but to ask her to help again.

"Come out!" Sophia shouted angrily to the nearby bushes after landing, "Everyone has run away!"

"Hey... well done!" Roger Youzai gave Longnu a thumbs up and said, "This efficiency is really high!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take your things and walk!" Sophia looked at the carriages carrying the goods: "This time I contributed, I want half of these spoils!"

"Twenty percent!"

"Four percent!"

"Thirty percent!"

"make a deal!"

Although the goods on the carriage were only part of the Barton family's property, they were already worth a lot. No wonder Roger and Sophia had to bargain hard.At this time, neither of them thought that the elimination of all the main members of the Barton family would have an extremely profound impact on the political situation of the Thorne Kingdom, and even threaten the foundation of this long-established human country.
