Chapter 98 Layout
With the continuous appearance of rare treasures, the atmosphere of the auction gradually reached a climax.The high priest of the Ludern Temple sat in the audience, grinning from ear to ear. So far, the donations raised have exceeded [-] gold coins. Even if you want to share part of it with the Imperial Envoy, the rest is enough to restore the temple to the past brilliant.

Antonio, the current lord of Istaren, appeared in public for the first time, so he naturally had to accept visits and temptations from various families.During the conversation, everyone will praise the young hero, and then raise their glasses to drink together and smile happily.When he came back from the auction house, the young lord was already drunk, with a beauty in his arms.

Antonio staggered back to his box, fell headlong on the soft bed, and moaned while clutching his head.He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and felt a pair of soft and cold hands on his cheeks, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that the girl with long orange-red hair was covering his forehead with a handkerchief dipped in water.

"Eh... Laurana?" Antonio shook his head. He was poured so hard just now that his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He only remembered that he was dragged back by someone's support, but he didn't expect it to be her.

He raised his head subconsciously and looked around, Earl Snake had already left, and the box was quiet, only Laurana and himself were left.The balcony facing the direction of the auction house closed its opaque gauze curtain at some point, and the air was filled with the heart-pounding incense.

Lonely men and widows... It should be said that heroes and beauties are alone in a room, and with the addition of fine wine and incense, it is simply an excellent place for a spring night.

If nothing happened, Antonio felt a little sorry for himself, but if something happened, he felt something was wrong.The young lord pondered for a long time, and finally found out where the sense of disobedience in his heart came from—the senior in front of him was still pretending to be a pure and cute little white rabbit, unlike the black heart he had seen before. The old fox is not the same creature at all.

If it were another woman, Antonio might have given in half-heartedly, but now looking at Senior Laurana's bright and moving eyes, his vigilance became more and more serious, and he even felt drunk. Woke up more than half.

"Senior Laurana, what the hell are you doing?" Since he couldn't figure it out, Antonio asked directly.When he was on Hongshiling back then, this woman had clearly seen through his true identity, and deliberately pretended not to know and blackmailed a huge amount of hush money. If she had a little respect for herself, Antonio would not believe it.

"My lord, you drink too much, it's not good for your health." Laurana smiled sweetly, and gently pressed Antonio's temple with her fingers and began to rub it, as if she didn't see the young lord's convulsions at all. Mouth.

"If you want to seduce, wouldn't it be more sincere to take off your clothes?" Antonio sat up and took off the handkerchief from his forehead and said to Laurana seriously.

"My lord, you really know how to joke. I'm not that kind of shameless person anymore." Laurana covered her face and chuckled.

"Of course I know this. Not only have I heard it, but I have experienced it myself. It is really impressive." Antonio touched his pocket, took out a few gold bars and placed them on the table: "Sister, what is your purpose?"

"It's been said that I'm not that kind of shameless person anymore, I just want to serve you for one night with admiration." Laurana said so, but she grabbed the gold bar and weighed it unceremoniously. After weighing it, he stuffed it directly into his sleeve, and the smile on his face became even sweeter.

"Serve for one night, and then what will happen?" Antonio has completely woken up and regained his sanity.He took the pen and paper from the table, quickly wrote down a large IOU, stamped his seal and pushed it in front of the girl.

"The lord is worthy of being a young hero. He is decisive and generous in his actions. His future achievements will be limitless." Laurana looked at the number on the IOU, and finally put away the sweet smile on her face, and became a little serious.

She took out a strange-looking construction machine from her sleeve like a magic trick, pressed the switch and threw it to the door, and there were bursts of unbearable groans from the gadget.

"My lord, they are already in bed."

Hearing the news from the subordinate in charge of surveillance, Earl Snake drank the red wine in his glass with a satisfied smile on his face.

It is actually very simple to control the little girl. It is nothing more than coercion and lure. If it is not for Stephen's face, he can even directly drug the little girl into a marionette, so that nothing will go wrong.If this nerd is allowed to play his true colors, unnecessary accidents will inevitably occur... But so far, all the plans are going smoothly, which makes Earl Snake very happy.

"My lord, I think...Master Stephen seems to have some opinions on your arrangement."

"Don't worry about him, the old man is useless. As long as you finish the preparations for tonight, let him fend for himself."

Earl Snake waved his hand impatiently, picked up the parchment scroll on the table, read it again, and couldn't help but smile with his mouth crooked.

"Hehe, if you really want to fall asleep, someone will send you a pillow. Send this information to the residence of the Temple of Life. I want to see how the gang of self-proclaimed justice will deal with it."

He picked up the wine bottle to refill himself a glass of red wine, picked up the glass and turned his attention back to the chessboard at hand.The white pieces on one side of the chessboard have not moved yet, while the black pieces on the other side have already taken four or five steps, setting up an offensive formation.

"The chess pieces have been laid out, and the gorgeous dance drama is about to begin. I am looking forward to your performance!"

The lights of the auction were gradually extinguished, and the sound of charging horns echoed outside the city of Istaren. The knights rode their horses forward and gradually accelerated. Black waves rolled forward.

"Shoot to kill!" Pross ordered with a deadpan expression, and the knights responded in unison, pointing straight ahead with their bright swords out of their sheaths.

The knights of Istaron are brave and fearless, but it does not mean that they are bloodthirsty butchers. The reason why Pross issued such a cruel order is precisely because he saw the iconic black bull head and skull mark on the opposite enemy.

The Sicily bandit group led by "Minotaur" Leon is known for its viciousness. The villages and caravans they ransacked will not leave any alive, even if they surrender, they will be tortured and killed.Despite the various sieges organized by local lords over the years, they are still at large.

This is a group of gangsters with blood on their hands, scum and scum without any moral bottom line. There is no need for any mercy for these criminals who have committed many crimes. The only answer is to kill.

The old thieves in the thieves group are also experienced, knowing that running away in front of the cavalry is a meaningless choice, even in the dark night, so when they realized that there were cavalry chasing behind them, these thieves not only did not panic, but immediately started to attack. Look for favorable terrain to lay out traps.When the cavalry charged, they were also prepared to defend.

The battle became fierce in an instant. The cavalry at the front stepped into the trap and turned on their backs. The cavalry behind did not slow down and rushed straight into the hastily organized formation of the thieves. Wherever the long sword passed, a rain of blood rose .

Some of the thieves hid in the trees and jumped off when they saw the cavalry passing by. They rolled off the horse with the cavalry in their arms and fell into a ball in the mud.One side is a gangster who is not afraid of death, and the other side is an elite and brave knight, fighting each other like two ferocious beasts.

A huge boulder with a diameter of two meters twirled and fell from the sky, directly smashing the two cavalrymen and their mounts into meatloaf, and the momentum of the bandit group suddenly rose.

"There is an ogre! Archer, kill it!"

The fast arrows with white tail feathers roared through the night, and the fat monster hiding behind the thieves fell to the ground. The huge body made the ground tremble.The cheers of the thieves stopped abruptly, but the cavalry of Istaron revived.They raised their long swords high and galloped their horses, trampling the thieves under their hooves.

Thieves are not good at fighting head-on, but their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.In the shadow of swords and swords, streaks of blue light continued to flash, and the charging cavalry suffered heavy losses one after another.

"Phantom Tribulus! Frost Nova! They still have magicians!"

The huge fireball exploded, shattered flames splashed everywhere, the battlefield was filled with the smell of charred corpses, and the corpses of knights and thieves melted together.

El let go of the bowstring and shot another thief from the tree, and heard the roar of Pross in his ear, and then a dazzling arrow of light shot up from his own team, illuminating the entire night sky.
