Arad's Sword

Chapter 601 Helplessness and Despair

Back then, Midi single-handedly wiped out the Blood Blade Mercenary Group in Tucker Town, and then re-established a new order.

It can be said that everyone in Tucker Town knows the rising star of Belle Mare.

However, after these years, Midi has grown from a slightly immature boy to a mature youth.

In addition, Midi has become a second awakened powerhouse, and there have been some subtle changes in both appearance and temperament, which makes it impossible for the tavern owner to recognize his identity in a face-to-face situation.

And for Midi, not being recognized is a good thing, at least, he can get first-hand information without any embellishment.

"My guest, what do you want?"

The tavern owner came forward and spoke with the most standard words.

"Have two glasses of the best wine here. By the way, tell me about the situation in Tucker Town this year."

Midi casually threw out two gold coins—these were found from those blind robbers before. During the six months in the dragon battlefield, Midi didn't even keep a single penny on him.

"What about Tucker Town?"

The tavern owner stared at Midi with vigilant eyes for a long time. Although two gold coins are considered a large sum here, he still dare not say anything more in this sensitive period.

What if this is a trick of the Imperial Army?
It's not worth putting yourself in for two gold coins.

Aside, Agares frowned slightly, and a magical light gradually began to glow in his eyes.

This is a hypnosis technique mastered by high-ranking demons. It is not very useful in actual combat, but it is easy to use to confuse individual humans here.

However, before Agares used the hypnosis technique, Midi reached out to stop him.

Midi is the ruler of Bel Mare. Even if the flag of the empire is flying in Tucker Town, he doesn't want to force his subjects in this way.

How is that different from a tyrant who only knows how to use force to make people submit?
"Boss, I don't mean anything else." Midi sighed slightly, "I just want to know what happened to the ever-victorious Falcon Group."

"Hmph, what about the falcon group? In my opinion, it can only be regarded as a chicken group now!"

Suddenly, a voice full of resentment came from the side bar.

It was a scruffy, alcoholic with a red nose who looked like he hadn't showered in days.

However, Midi clearly remembered that this person was the mayor of Tucker Town.

Of course, now that the imperial army has arrived, he can only be regarded as the "former mayor".

"What exactly happened?"

Midi glanced at the drunkard, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and asked lightly.

"What else is there? Since the whereabouts of the 'Sword of Victory and Protection' Midi disappeared, the new imperial man is a waste! And not long after he took office, the empire came! They played decently, but what happened in the end? They collapsed all the way! What a genius commander, I think that Reinhardt is nothing compared to Midi!"

The drunkard began to growl.

His state of mind is not particularly clear, and he poured down his throat several times in the middle, so the narration is a bit incoherent.

However, after listening patiently, Midi finally figured it out.

All in all, after he left, the balance of power between the empire and the Belmare Kingdom collapsed after only three months.

The Delos Empire tore up the truce between the two parties, and brazenly launched another invasion.

The fourth prince was willing to go all out. He was obviously a member of the empire and a prince, but at this time, he chose to stand on the side of the Kingdom of Belle Mare, as the acting head of the Falcon Group, to assist the Iron Blood The Grand Duke fought back.

It can be said that the two sides fought in full swing at the beginning, seeing each other on multiple battlefields such as Grand Forest, the West Coast, and even Sky City.

However, six months ago—when Midi activated the "Death Pursuit Order" and entered the "Dragon Battlefield" to face the greatest crisis in his history—the battle situation changed.

The original fierce tug-of-war between the two sides was broken, and replaced by the strong crushing of the Delos Empire.

As for the Kingdom of Belmar, whether it was the ever-victorious Falcon Regiment, the Army of the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke, or the regular army of the kingdom that Midi had integrated before, all suffered disastrous defeats.

This kind of disastrous defeat happened on various battlefields, and it caused heavy losses to Wang Guofang.

In desperation, Reinhardt chose to shrink the front.

The control area of ​​Faroe Bay on the west coast, as well as part of the kingdom's territory on the outskirts of Gran's Forest, were all given up by Reinhardt. In exchange for this, a tight defensive circle with the capital Hutton Mar as the core finally blocked it again. The powerful attack of the empire.

It's just that the people in these abandoned areas naturally have a very difficult life.

Fortunately, on the west coast, the people in Faroe Bay just obeyed the strong, and they didn't care whether the supreme ruler was an imperial or a kingdom.

But for these territories that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Belmar, being abandoned was tantamount to being betrayed.

The policy implemented by the imperialists here must be the policy of the "conqueror", not the policy of the "ruler", and it will definitely be much harsher than that of the Faroe Bay.

Just seeing the appearance of the mayor of Tucker Town at this moment, Midi can infer a little bit.

Of course, from the commander's point of view, it's not that he can't understand Reinhardt's approach - since he was crushed by the tyrannical combat power, the most optimal choice is naturally to lose the car and keep the handsome.

This can also be said to be the only option in desperation.

A commander must proceed from the overall situation and be ruthless, so that it is possible to preserve the vitality and preserve the hope of counterattack and victory.

However, from the point of view of a simple Belmarian, seeing the current state of Tucker Town and seeing this down-and-out alcoholic in front of him, Midi still couldn't help feeling a surge of anger in her heart.

What do these imperial people think of Bel Mare's territory and people?

Just when Midi wanted to ask more about the mayor himself, the door of the tavern was suddenly knocked open with a bang.

Six imperial soldiers, plus a captain, a total of seven people, swaggered in.

Their heavy armor, long swords around their waists, and shining spears in their hands looked particularly dazzling under the dim light of the tavern.

But the most glaring thing was the trembling blond girl in the arms of the imperial captain.

Although this girl's face is not perfect, it can also be said to be quite delicate, and with her long pale golden hair, she looks quite cute.

But at this moment, she was like a fawn injured by a lion's paw, shaking all over, and her eyes revealed a kind of despair and helplessness.

The moment she saw this scene, Midi's pupils shrank slightly.

Agares, who was on the side, suddenly tensed up.

In this tavern, or in the entire Tucker Town, only the sword demon at the peak of level 75 can feel how boiling the power of the domain around Midi is at this moment.

Agares knew very well that at this moment, Midi was really angry.

Because from the look in the girl's eyes, Midi can tell that this is definitely not something as simple as being forced to accompany the wine.

At the same time, the alcoholic next to Midi, the former mayor of Tucker Town, trembled even more when he saw this scene.

"At the beginning, our mayor was removed from his position with a random excuse, and then his wife and daughter were taken to the military camp. When they were sent out three days later, the body was beyond recognition. I don't know how much was ruined by those beasts. Afterwards, they got even worse, and when they fell in love with any girl, they either dragged them into the room after being drunk, or they simply raped them..."

The tavern owner sighed faintly, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness.

"Everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out. If you don't send a girl, maybe the whole family will be ruined..."

The reason why he said this to Midi was that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he wanted to vomit bitterness.

But the tavern owner hadn't finished spitting out the bitterness, and the captain of the imperial army had already yelled: "What are you doing there, hurry up and serve the wine, and ask for the best wine!"

The tavern owner restrained his emotions, let out a deep breath, and was about to squeeze out a smiling face to meet him.

But before that, Midi spoke first.

"Do me a favor and don't scare the girl any further."

Midi said this to Agares.

Agares nodded with great interest.

This squad leader is only level 50, a professional who has just awakened once.

Whether it is him or Midi, they are all ants that can be crushed to death with a little finger.

After coming to the continent of Arad, along the way, whenever he encountered robbers, thieves, etc. of this level, Agares usually took action.

As a second-awakened strongman, Midi didn't even bother to do anything.

But now, Agares is very clear that Midi absolutely does not want anyone to intervene in the next matter.

If he, Agares, made a move, who would Midi vent his anger on at this moment?

Therefore, he just waited quietly at the side according to Midi's request, and was ready to protect the girl who was like a desperate fawn at any time.

"You came in from the outside? I told you clearly..."

Seeing Midi standing up and walking straight towards them, Captain Empire laughed and squeezed the girl beside him hard.

But he cut off just halfway through his words.

His hand also failed to touch the girl.

Any man whose head fell from his neck would be cut off from speaking.

If anyone's body melted like melting snow, it would be impossible to touch anyone.

Midi didn't make any moves, and didn't say a single word to the empire captain.

He directly evaporated the part below the neck of the other party.

The human body, the metal armor, and the sharp sword with magical special effects, all of these were directly vaporized by an undetectable light, turning into a high-temperature mist, and dissipating in the air.

This scene was so frightening and frightening that when the head of the empire captain fell to the ground with a bang, everyone was completely frightened.

If there was anyone who was not frightened, it would probably be the girl closest to Captain Empire.

Because at the same time Midi shot, Agares also moved.

The sword demon stood next to the girl in an extremely gentlemanly manner, while covering the girl's sight with his hands gracefully.

So, the girl didn't see anything, instead, she heard a deep, magnetic male voice.

"Miss, you don't have to worry about anything. Next, just leave it to my master."

The second update arrives, continue to ask for monthly tickets!And later, at 23:30.
