I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Viego gathered his thoughts and focused on the conversation between Mudstone and his team member Dave.

"Do you have any information about the movements of Wang Ting's army, Dave?" Mudstone asked.

"Yes, and it's quite noisy!" Dave's voice was serious and solemn on the other end of the phone:

"The elite private armies of several nobles in the surrounding area united a few days ago. Led by a major from the Military Committee, they formed a 'Royal Court United Army' and are heading towards the Scar Mall!"

Mudstone lowered his eyes slightly, his expression still calm: "Have you confirmed it?"

"I have confirmed it with my intelligence friend, and the news is true." Dave replied:

"Also, it is said that the target of this coalition army is a white-haired man named 'Viego'. If you can report the news or whereabouts of this man to the coalition army and confirm it is true, you will receive a reward from the royal capital."

Dave paused, then continued:

"I heard that the coalition forces have already started to enter the city. Viego is the man you gave a ride to yesterday, right? But we have nothing to do with him, so we don't need to worry about being targeted by the coalition forces..."

"......" Mudstone raised his head and looked at Viego with a pair of red eyes, his expression was unclear: "I just reached a cooperation with him, and now he is by my side - I came to the hotel to find him tonight and was seen by many people."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then there was a crisp "click" sound, as if something was crushed.

Dave smiled bitterly, "Well, what should we do now, Captain? Should I bring the others to find you?"

"...No, go back to the inn where we are staying and take the others out of the city." Mudstone thought for a moment and said decisively: "Go in the direction of Leitania and find a city to stay first. I will come to find you later."

Mudstone knew that if all the information was true and there really was an "army" that wanted to target Viego and herself, then the dozen or so members of her team who came here would simply be seeking their deaths.

Most of her team members are Sarkaz who are tired of war and don't want to be involved in it. Their fighting ability is not that strong. They are famous only because her team is "charitable" and has her as their captain.

To put it bluntly, at least 70% of the Mudstone Squad's combat effectiveness lies in its captain, Mudstone.

And the Allied spies who entered the city that Dave mentioned...I'm afraid they entered the city with the woman named Isolde.

But today, Mudstone rejected Isolde's commission and visited Viego in public. In the eyes of the coalition forces, he must have been tied to Viego.

It was too late to leave at this point, and Niyan himself couldn't do something like saying he wanted to cooperate one second and then abandon the other party the next.

And there is a crucial point in Dave's intelligence.

That is, the coalition army is composed of the "army" under several nobles, and the leader is only a "major" of the Military Commission.

The political background of such an army is obviously not enough to directly eliminate a "commercial center" like Scar Mall and put it under martial law. Otherwise, the losses will be incalculable and the caravans and mercenaries in the city will also be dissatisfied.

Therefore, if the coalition forces really want to take action in the city, they will do it secretly and will not directly surround the city with a large army. Their forces will inevitably be concentrated on Viego's side, and they will not have the time to deal with the small fish and shrimps of the Mudstone Team.

So, Mudstone asked Dave to take his team out of the city and immediately leave in the direction of Letania, while he himself planned to stay and advance and retreat with Viego.

Dave also understood, so she just left a sentence "Take care, Captain, we'll be waiting for you in Leitania" and hung up the phone.

Mud Rock put away his phone and looked at Viego. He was not panicked or nervous. He just said calmly, "It seems that we have to reach a closer cooperation with Mr. Viego now."

Viego: "...?"

What a tiger and wolf thing.

Are you all Sarkaz like this? Either you deliberately speed wherever and whenever you want, or you drive on the highway with a look of pure ignorance?

Miss Mudstone, you don't want your team members to...

bah bah bah!

Viego interrupted his thoughts, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Mud Rock, "It is only natural for people in trouble to help each other."

Upon hearing this, Mud Rock also smiled faintly and asked, "That makes sense. So what is Mr. Viego going to do now?"

"There's no need to add honorifics like Mr. after your name. It sounds strange. As for how to do it?" Viego waved his hand and stood up.

A dark green sword appeared along with the black mist, and he held the hilt tightly in one hand.

Mudstone was slightly startled.

The man's slightly hoarse and low voice sounded:

"Let's kill the rat eavesdropping outside first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark green sword was raised, and Viego slashed out with the sword!

——The black fog that Viego habitually placed outside the window and door of the room took effect, and he successfully detected the figure lurking in the shadow outside the window.

The arrival of the mudstone outside the door was noticed earlier because of the black fog arranged outside the door.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the shadow outside the window.

He wanted to dodge, wanted to avoid the dark green sword edge.

However, Viego was too fast and swung his sword too suddenly, so it was too late.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of glass shattering, the figure flew backwards, splattering blood in the air, and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

"Shadow Fiend... Those nobles who sent out the troops were really willing to spend a lot of money." Mudstone reacted quickly and put on his power armor again when Viego took action. At this time, he was ready to go, and the dull electronic sound sounded again:

"The Shadow Fiend is the Sarkaz tribe that is best at hiding itself. Fortunately, Viego, you discovered him in time and solved a difficult enemy in advance."

As he spoke, Mudstone was also surprised by Viego's keen perception.

As she said, the shadow demon is best at hiding in the shadows. The shadow demon sent by the Allied Forces hid outside the window. Except for Viego, no one present noticed anything wrong. He was obviously the best among the tribe.

If he were under the command of a noble, he would have been considered a small elite leader. However, he was discovered by Viego at some point and was suddenly attacked and killed directly.

As expected, he is a powerful being that can kill several pardoners...

"Oh, really?" Viego smiled, and looked down at the Sarkaz who had died with a pool of blood beneath him. The cold face of Ines appeared in his mind.

"Hmm... maybe it's because I also have a friend who is good at hiding himself with the help of shadows?"

Speaking of Inès, I don't know when we'll meet again...

I don’t know when I can give away the two black silk stockings I bought as a return gift for that scarf.

——This is just a normal exchange of gifts between friends. It definitely doesn't mean that Viego wants to see Inès wearing black stockings.

Well, absolutely not!

Shining stood behind the door holding the sword, carefully sensing the corridor outside the door: "It seems that he is alone, Lord Viego, what should we do now?"

Viego turned his head and looked at the window he had broken: "Let's leave the hotel first."

Damn it, I haven’t fought in such a long time that my hands are itching to fight, so I just swung my sword and attacked.

If I had known earlier, I would have used black fog to kill that person. Now I have to pay for the window.

It's not that he can't afford to pay, but it's the kind of "save where you can and spend where you can" mentality that is rooted in Viego's bones that makes him feel a little bad for the unnecessary expenses.

"First pack up the luggage in the bedroom, and then we'll drive away. The manager of Scar Mall didn't send anyone to put pressure on us, which means the situation isn't too critical yet. Let's go somewhere else to rest for the night and leave the city tomorrow."

"Okay, Lord Viego." Shining nodded, took Liz and Gwen, who volunteered to help, into the bedroom and started packing.

They had originally planned to stay in this hotel for a few more days before leaving - the clothes that the girls had taken off and were planning to wash, as well as the other new clothes that they had chosen when they were wearing them, were still scattered around the bedroom and needed to be folded and put away again.

Viego stood in the drafty living room, staring at the night sky and the double moons above his head, his eyes flickering slightly as he began to think.

It is now known that the Sarkaz court wants to deal with him, and there is also a fragment of Isolder with autonomous action ability that wants to deal with him. According to Gwen, the two have reached a cooperation...

I killed the Absolutioner about a week ago, and Isolde arrived near the Scar Mall last night. That huge coalition army must not be able to get here immediately, otherwise Mudstone should have heard the news.

In other words, there are only a small vanguard force near Scar Mall now. The number of people will not be too large, so the threat will not be too great.

Then, if Isold wants to deal with me, it is very likely that he will appear at a critical moment to attract attention and create an opportunity to "kill" me, just like when the "Curse of the Ruin" incident came to an end in the Rune Continent.

Isolde's existence is always a trouble...

Viego frowned slightly.

As soon as she appears, the obsession carried by the Curse of Ruin and the remaining memories of the Ruined King in his mind will inevitably become agitated and affect his own state.

Although after meeting Gwen twice and now, the symptoms of "Isold PTSD" have been alleviated. At least I don't become agitated when I think of or mention her name.

But Viego was still unsure whether he would remain unaffected if Isolde really appeared in front of him.

It is indeed a bit disgusting, just like the old seal to the old gods in the Cthulhu series, or it can be said to be a mop stained with a defense paper - there is no harm, but it is extremely insulting.

Isold is like a demon in Viego's heart now. Once he appears, it is equivalent to giving him an extremely serious negative BUFF. If it is more serious, there is even a risk of being assimilated by the memory of the Ruined King.

"Tsk..."

If it really doesn't work, you can only find ways to minimize the impact and then avoid that woman.

If there was a way to confront them head-on, Viego would subconsciously prefer to fight through this so-called "coalition army" head-on and give the Kazdel Royal Court a hard slap in the face.

But if the risk is really too high, Viego doesn't mind just running away.

After finishing their thoughts, Shining and the others in the bedroom walked out with their luggage.

"Lord Viego, we can leave now." Shining said.

Viego nodded: "I'll go ahead. We may encounter attacks on the road... we better be careful."

After receiving affirmative responses from everyone, Viego took the lead, opened the door and walked out of the room.

Mudstone fell to the end of the group and indicated that he could help share some of the luggage. "I can help carry a little."

"Thank you, Miss Mudstone!" Gwen thanked her politely and gave Mudstone a bag that was not too big.

Mudstone looked down, and the delicate face under the helmet suddenly became dull.

"..."

Why so many stockings?

White, black...even two with black on top and purple on the bottom?

Mudstone's gaze fell on Viego's back.

Well...

Mr. Viego...

He is really a leg controller, right?

Chapter 94 Kal'tsit broke the pen [Two in One]

"Have no trouble, sir." The innkeeper escorted Viego and his companions out of the inn like a disaster, then returned to the inn with a grateful look on his face, taking the few pieces of red gold "compensation" given to him by Viego.

——Even if Viego didn't give him any compensation, the boss couldn't do anything, but Viego still gave it, so the boss would naturally feel some gratitude towards him.

Viego was standing on the street with a few girls. He glanced at the shadow demon lying on the ground without a sound, then turned around to look at everyone.

Mudstone's SUV, which was obviously widened and raised, was parked on the side of the road at this time. It was probably driven by Dave.

This also came in handy for Viego - Mudstone obviously couldn't be stuffed into the ordinary off-road vehicle that Babel gave Viego, regardless of whether he was wearing power armor or not.

So, if there are five people and two cars, how should the number of people be allocated?

Liz and Gwen definitely can't drive, and Mudrock is wearing a thick power armor, so it's not convenient for him to drive, so the only two people who can drive are Shining and Viego.

Viego thought for a moment and made a decision:

"Shining, you take Liz and Gwen in our car, and Mudrock and I will be in the same car. I'll go in the front, and you guys follow closely behind."

Among the five people, the only one who really needs attention and care is Liz, who has difficulty in moving and is weak.

Viego planned to let the three girls, who were already familiar with each other, share a car, with Shining driving and Gwen accompanying Lizzie. He and Mudstone, who was not convenient to drive, shared a car.

——The fighting power of Shining and Gwen is not weak. If Shining can exert his full strength, his strength will not be much worse than Viego. Adding Gwen as a safety measure will prevent Shining from being distracted in case of a real attack.

Viego was in the same car with Mudyan, and he was still somewhat wary of Mudyan. He used this method to make sure that Mudyan would not change his mind at the last minute, or have bad intentions.

——He is not a naive person who believes everything others say. Of course, he will not really believe what Yan said just because she said, "I have to cooperate with you" or "I come with sincerity and goodwill."

What if she was originally a member of the Wang Ting Army? She said that she rejected Isolde and angered Isolde, but these were just her one-sided words.

Viego knew that in Kazdel, among the mercenaries, it was only natural to be cautious. He would not kill Mudstone with one blow just because of suspicion, but he also did not want to be stabbed in the back.

So it’s better to be safe.

The Shining also has the mark left by Viego with the black mist.

In this way, even if they were attacked by United Forces spies on the way to the transfer, forcing the two vehicles to disperse their routes, Viego would be able to find the Shining smoothly afterwards and would not get lost.

"I understand, Lord Viego." Shining thought for a moment and understood Viego's intention. He nodded slightly to Viego, took the car keys and took Gwen and Lizzie into the car.
