Chapter 9: Look at my face
Don thought about what was going to happen next as he and Fiona walked to the Lord's Mansion.
As he had considered, the two things that immediately had to be resolved after taking the position of lord were the security of Ellington and the food of the inhabitants.
However, if you want to solve the problem of food, you need to observe the agricultural situation in Plandar and come up with a specific solution, which is not something that can be solved in a day or two. Before improving agriculture, food problems could be temporarily purchased from outside to fill the gap, so there was no urgency.
Before that, the issue of law and order is more important and easier to handle, and after getting Hogg, you can take Ellington's militia out to suppress the bandits.
By the way, you can also hone their cooperation.
Coming to the outside of the Lord's Mansion, the corners of Don's mouth curled, obviously so many residents in the town are very poor, and most of the houses are still leaking, but Ellington's Lord's Mansion looks very magnificent, not at all like the buildings that Ellington should appear - completely different from the surrounding painting style.
Don said to the guards, "Please let me know that Don and Fiona have been invited to the dinner." β
Fiona leaned in and whispered, "Lord Lord, there's no need to be so polite to this kind of guy, right?" β
Fiona recognized this guard as the one who had been looking at her and wanted to do something to her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang En shook his head and whispered: "You know, to be a man, you must be cautious and low-key, now many people like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, in case this Hogg has a hidden master, then we are in danger." β
Fiona's eyes widened, "Lord Lord, are you sure you're not talking about yourself!?" β
The guard's gaze swirled around Fiona and then fell on Don, who said in a strange way, "Invite? Why haven't I heard from my lord? Do you two untouchables want to sneak into the Lord's Mansion? Say! What are your intentions!? β
The guard drew his weapon as he spoke.
"Presumptuous!"
Fiona's angry eyebrows rose: "It's Don in front of you!" Lord Ellington! β
"I only know that Lord Hogg is a lord, you pariah dare to disguise yourself as a lord to deceive, go die!"
The guard shouted violently, and he actually swung his weapon directly at Tang En!
Are these guys all in their heads?
Tang En gently raised his hand and pinched the long sword, and after snatching the long sword, without waiting for the guard to speak, he slashed him with a backhand!
Looking at the soaring blood, Fiona was stunned: "Lord Lord, didn't you say to be more low-key?" β
"Huh?"
Don shook off the blood from his sword and paused, "When I didn't say it." β
Fiona didn't know why Don had changed his mind so quickly, but she was very happy that Don had killed this hateful creature.
"What man!?"
The commotion at the gate attracted the attention of the private soldiers, and after a while, a large group of private soldiers surrounded Don and Fiona, and after seeing the corpses on the ground, the private soldiers stared at Don like hungry wolves, full of murderous energy.
Lord's Mansion, by the window on the second floor.
"You say, can they kill this guy?"
Hogg squinted, if these people could kill Don directly, of course, it would be the best situation, if they couldn't kill Don, then they could only use the second way.
"I don't know."
A man next to Hogg shook his head: "There is no fluctuation of blood qi on his body, nor fluctuation of magic power, just now he just split his body with his brute force, I can't see what kind of strength he is." β
"Brute force? Is it the same as Elsa's strange power? β
A hint of gloom flashed across Hogg's face, but he quickly smiled, "Even if he has strange powers, so what? With your shot, isn't it easy for an ordinary person with strange power to be caught? β
"That's nature!"
The man said proudly: "I, Qiao Deng, am a warrior of the third order of bronze!" How can a civilian, who hasn't even awakened his talent, be my opponent! β
"But to be on the safe side, I've prepared other measures......"
Hogg smiled sinisterly and whispered to Jorden.
At this time, the atmosphere outside was already on the verge of exploding.
"You dare to make trouble in the Lord's Mansion and kill our people, you are ready to pay for your lives!"
After the captain of the private army finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Kill the man!" Female captured! β
"It's long overdue!"
"Haha! Leave it to me, woman! β
A group of privates screamed and rushed over.
"Daddy!"
In the distance, Elsa looked at Alberton anxiously, wanting to go over and help.
"Don't worry."
Alberton stopped Elsa: "He's not going to be in danger. β
"But ......"
"Don't worry, I have a hunch that he will become our lord of Ellington."
Seeing their disgusting expressions, the gentle smile on Donn's face immediately disappeared.
"You garbage, to live is to waste my land and air...... Let's die. β
Tang En walked over with the standard longsword he had just snatched, his clumsy movements were much simpler than in the afternoon, and although he didn't have combat skills, the strength and agility of a full-level mage gave him an almost crushing advantage when facing these enemies.
Every move and style is very ordinary, but the amazing power on the long sword is simply no one can resist, let alone the fast abnormal speed, sometimes even Alberton in the distance can't see his moves clearly, which makes him very surprised.
"Quack!"
The two long swords collided, and only a loud noise was heard, and the private soldiers who rushed were shocked out by the huge force, and the long sword in his hand was directly broken.
"It's too undurable."
Tang En threw away the broken sword in his hand a little depressed, and his eyes were fixed on the others.
Originally, those private soldiers were still a little frightened by Donn's strange power, but when they saw that he had lost his weapon, they immediately became excited.
"He's out of arms! Hurry up! β
"Kill him! An ordinary person, not an apocalypse, what are you afraid of! Kill him! That woman is ours! β
"Let's go together!"
Seeing the private soldiers rushing up, Tang En showed a cold smile instead: "You guys are so naΓ―ve! β
The next moment, Don En rushed in, rampage among the private soldiers with his extremely strong flesh, and when he grabbed one of them, he directly greeted his face with his fist, and in an instant he knocked the unlucky guy away.
The moment he flew out, Tang En snatched his long sword with his hand, and then the momentum on his body changed suddenly, and the cold killing intent spread.
"Not good! Kill him! β
"Damn it - he's too powerful!"
"I can't touch him at all!"
Don killed them mercilessly, these people ignored the bandits and plundered Ellington, but they didn't lend a helping hand at all, and they died innocently!
After only a few moments, the vestibule of the Lord's Mansion was stained red with blood, and there were corpses everywhere, and even Tang En's body was stained with blood.
The few remaining private soldiers were trembling, and they couldn't even stand still.
"Good, good!"
Elsa in the distance looked at Don with a shocked face, although he was saved before, but Elsa didn't see Don kill the enemy in close combat, and now she found out that Don was so powerful!
"yes......"
Alberton nodded in agreement: "If he can awaken his talent and become an apocalypse and concentrate on cultivating swordsmanship, he will definitely achieve something." β
"What are you guys doing!"
At this time, Hogg's butler suddenly walked out of the lord's mansion and scolded loudly: "Don En is a guest of the lord, how can you do something to the guest!?" Why don't you stop it!? β
Those private soldiers were about to cry, and now it was not a question of whether they could stop or not, but whether the other party would let them go.
Don glanced at the butler, smiled meaningfully, and stuck his sword on the ground.
Of course, he could see that the butler had come out to protect the private soldiers, but that was exactly what Don meant.
These private soldiers can't be killed yet, especially the captain, he still has something to ask them later.
Donn asked, "Is this Baron Hogg's hospitality?" β
The butler's brow furrowed slightly, he noticed that Don was called Hogg by a title, was he hinting at his lordship? But......
"The master is the lord of this land, and in this land, everything belongs to Lord Hogg, and it is not the turn of others to blame him for how he treats his guests."
The butler turned around and said nonchalantly, "Come in, Lord Lord has been waiting for you for a long time." β
Fiona muttered, "So many people died, this guy still has such a big shelf." β
"That's because in their eyes, these private soldiers are consumables, and when they die, they die."
Tang En said sarcastically, "And you don't think that guy is really planning to feast us, right?" β
"Of course not."
"So, be careful, look at my face - I'm not black, am I?"
Fiona was stunned for a moment: "Of course it's not dark, why do you ask?" β
"Make sure you can see clearly."
Compared to the outside, the interior of the Lord's Mansion was more luxuriously decorated, the huge magic crystal lamp emitted a dazzling light, as if the inside was not burning expensive magic crystals, and the marble floor was remarkable, Donn looked down, and then looked up regretfully - Fiona's Crenolin-style floor-to-ceiling dress completely obscured the wonderful scenery.
Soon Don and the others followed the butler to the banquet hall.
"Welcome, welcome!"
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Hogg greeted him with a big smile: "As the lord of Ellington, Baron Ben really didn't expect that my domain would welcome two such distinguished guests. β
Fiona's face was unkind: "I don't think any nobleman would welcome his guests with weapons!" β
"Misunderstanding! Pure misunderstanding! β
Hogg waved his hand repeatedly, his face full of smiles: "I've already ordered it to go on, but maybe something went wrong in the process of transmitting information - you know, word of mouth is always easy to misunderstand." β
Trick the undead into going!
How can you misunderstand "inviting guests" as "killing guests"!?
