The mage arrives

There is a huge difference in strength between the Haiwen Fist mercenary group and the Redstone Guards, so there is no suspense at all about the outcome of this battle.

The elite soldiers who had fought against the orc army in the north first came with two rounds of arrow rain to clean the entire abandoned temple, and then rushed in through the gap made by Gordon with spells.

The mercenaries in the temple suffered a lot of casualties due to the spell attack and the rain of arrows. The rest were either frightened and wanted to escape, or they fought on their own like a mass of scattered sand, stubbornly resisting.

On the route of attack, from time to time, you can see a few mercenaries who have been hit by sleep spells and are still sleeping soundly amidst the sound of killing.When Hongshi Jianwei passed by, he made up a sword casually, and sent these "lucky ones" who did not suffer any pain to the god of death.

Gordon observed the progress of the battle outside the temple, and after finding that it was going well, he turned his attention to other things.

The mage glanced at Sir Mendoro, who was limp on the ground, unable to speak, and then said to the town guards, "What are you standing here for?"

He raised his left hand, and a raging flame was brewing in his palm.

This is a threat that couldn't be more straightforward.

The town guards swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looked at the fat mayor lying on the ground moaning and dying, and at the berserk arcane energy in Gordon's hands, in the end survival instinct prevailed.

"Lord Earl, everything is Mendoro's fault. He colluded with these mercenaries to engage in the illegal slave trade, and we didn't know about it. You can deal with them as you please, and we will leave immediately!"

The town guards dropped their weapons and armor and fled.

Gordon knew the words of these fellows could not be trusted.The slave trade in this small town.The town guards couldn't possibly be ignorant.Even among these town guards, some were directly or indirectly involved in the slave trade and benefited from it.But Gordon was not a prosecutor.If you don't have the time to investigate the case slowly, these little miscellaneous fish will just fend for themselves.

The battle was soon over.

Under the leadership of four officers, Rufus, Theodore, Woodlow, and Yang Qi Sharp Ears, the Redstone Guard took the entire abandoned temple under control in less than half an hour.

A total of 49 captives from the Fists of Haiven were brought out.

Many mercenaries kept cursing and clamoring even though their hands were tightly bound, shouting at all those who attacked the Fists of Haiwen today.They will all be cleaned up by Master Aldrich, and no one will end well.

Gordon grew impatient, and asked Woodrow to cut off the tongues of some of the most arrogant ones.Only then did the captives be shocked and quiet down.

Soon, Douluo was helped out of the abandoned temple by two redstone guards.

"Hey, Boss Douro. You seem to have been very effective in losing weight recently." Gordon watched as he lost a lot of weight.Even Douro, whose iconic big belly has almost disappeared, joked.

Douluo was in a good mood for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. He smiled and said, "This is the only thing I should thank these bastard mercenaries. When I get thinner, I will be the second most handsome man in Haiwen Peninsula. Well, The most handsome one is of course you, my lord."

"I don't think we're both quite compatible with 'handsome,'" Gordon laughs.

Just a few words of pleasantries.Gordon asked Douro to rest.Many of Douluo and his men are retired adventurers.Very good skill.In order to control these people, the Fist of Haiwen mercenary group has been mixing their food with drugs that make people lose their strength.

Compared to Douluo, Madam Dinah and her eighteen Lierya believers are not in a better situation.

When they were taken out of the temple, they were barefoot and only covered with a layer of cloth—this was the cloak temporarily taken off by the Redstone Guards.It is conceivable that when the nineteen women, Mrs. Dinah, were discovered, they must be completely naked.

"My lord, I am sorry for your trouble." Madam Dinah bowed slightly to Gordon.Her beautiful face was a little swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was disheveled, and she had a peculiar smell on her body - men knew that smell well.

Compared with a group of men in Douluo, the beautiful women like Mrs. Dinah suffered a lot more miserably after being caught.Not only could they not keep their innocence, but because they were priests, the mercenaries would continue to torture them mentally in order to prevent them from meditating and praying, obtaining divine spells, and then escaping.

"Since you have pledged allegiance to me, I am naturally obliged to guarantee your safety. I miscalculated this time. I didn't expect that there would be imperial nobles colluding with mercenary groups to conduct illegal slave trade." Gordon bowed.

Madam Dinah shook her head and smiled wryly: "It's also our fault. We didn't listen to Douluo's advice, and dressed a little more low-key, which caused disaster."

"It's okay, everything is over. You go back and take a shower, and then take a good rest. I will take care of it here." Gordon said.

Madam Dinah glanced at the bound Fist of Haven mercenaries with fierce eyes, and her tone was sharp and poisonous like the needles of a killer bee: "My lord, please don't treat these beasts lightly!"

Although for the followers of Lirya, chastity is not important.But they slept with men for the enjoyment, not the torture.So Madam Dinah naturally hated these mercenaries.

"My lord, what should we do with these captives?" asked the half-elf with a longbow on his back.

When Woodrow heard this, he became energetic: "Do you need to torture? I am willing to serve you."

"There is no need to torture any more. They can't ask anything. The Frey family colluded with the so-called King of Haven to carry out the illegal slave trade and dominate my fief. This is already an established fact .There is no need to pay attention to other side details."

Recently obsessed with human anatomy, Woodlow, who seems to have switched from a spearman to a surgeon, showed a regretful expression.But Gordon's next words made him excited again.Seeing that gloomy but full of interest face, those prisoners felt hairy.

"I'll give you half a day to dispose of these captives as you please. If Douluo and Mrs. Dinah want to take revenge with their own hands, that's fine too. When night falls, I want to see fifty corpses hanging at the entrance of the gate of Vine Town .”

"My lord, you mean even Sir Mendoro...he is a nobleman..."

"It's just a small character with no fief and no official title. Besides, when he colluded with the Haiwen Mercenary Group, he was no longer an imperial nobleman, but an ordinary criminal who was killed."

Woodrow carried out Gordon's order perfectly.And Du Luo and Mrs. Dinah also expressed their grievances about being imprisoned and tortured by the Fist of Haiwen mercenary group.

As night fell, the convoy of the Freeman family left Vine Town.When passing by the gate of the town, Xiona looked up at the corpses hanging on the vault of the gate, and frowned slightly: "Brother, although these people are indeed damned, aren't you being too ostentatious by doing this?"

"This is a signal from me. If you act too weakly, Marquis Walder Frey and the king of Haiwen may look down on us brothers and sisters. I am the lord of the Haiwen Peninsula officially conferred by the emperor. If I just Once I took office, I behaved timidly, so I don’t have to do anything in the future.”

"But...will doing so anger that Abel Aldrich. He dared to call himself the King of Haven, so he must be extremely arrogant. How could he just sit back and watch his subordinates be killed by us?"

Gordon said with a smile: "The mercenaries of the Fist of Haiwen are nothing more than a group of slave traders. No one cares about their life and death. Just throw a little gold coins, and there will be countless people who are strong and have a little bit of swordsmanship." , men who are restless and want to make a lot of money, go to wear the costume of the Fist of Haiwen Mercenary Group."

The mage saw that Xiona was still a little hard to let go, and continued to explain: "It is rumored that Abel Aldrich, the king of Haven, started to rise 11 years ago. According to the records I read in the imperial capital, in this During a period of time, a total of eight special administrators were appointed to the Haiwen area. Three of them served their full term and left safely, while the other five died unexpectedly. The three of them who served their full term only wanted to save their lives and did not want to cause trouble The mediocre people. And the five people who died unexpectedly wanted to rectify the peninsula for various reasons. From this, it can be seen that the king of Haiwen is not a brainless guy. He will not He is so arrogant and domineering that he kills people if he doesn’t like it, and he dare not directly confront the empire. He was able to develop to his present strength in this barren peninsula, but he was not known by the empire’s central government. It is conceivable that the other party is very cautious. Unless it is true It touched the core interests, otherwise, the king of Haiwen would not easily kill the imperial nobles with a certain status."

There are two brothers and sisters, Freeman, the elder brother is a mage who is rumored to be able to perform miracles, and the successor of Grand Duke Rob Andelo.The younger sister is the angel of the battlefield who is praised by all Fereiton people.When a celebrity, every move will be watched by all parties, sometimes it is a bad thing, sometimes it is a good thing.

If it was an unknown person who annoyed him, the king of Haven might kill him if he killed him.

But for Gordon and Xiona, the other party has to consider the chain reaction that will be caused after the actual action.If His Majesty the Emperor gets angry and dispatches a large army to destroy this guy who claims to be king privately, it will be an absolutely unacceptable result for the other party.

After Gordon's explanation, Xiona finally felt at ease: "Brother, why do I always feel that although our Freeman family is getting stronger and stronger now, the things we have to worry about are poorer than before? When everything is mortgaged, how much more will it be?"

"It's normal. His Majesty the emperor who owns the entire empire has more to worry about than us. But my lovely sister only needs to do what she likes, and my brother will block all the troubles. " Gordon said, holding Xiona's soft little hand.

"Brother is really... She's not the kind of lady who needs to be held in the palm of your hand and cared for." Xiona rolled Gordon's eyes, although she said so, her face was filled with a sweet and happy smile. (To be continued..)
