It is a forest where you rarely get a glimpse of the sun.

But the amazing thing is that the trees in this forest grow extremely luxuriantly, many of them are so thick that they need to be hugged by several people, and the canopy is even next to other trees, and if you can climb these trees, you can even use these branches to move quickly in the forest.

Of course, that requires a lot of balance.

The skill of moving at high speed in a tree is not something that anyone can master.

Alfred slowly withdrew his gaze.

He has been following Sean for two or three years, and although his personal strength has not improved much, his military ability in leading the army has improved greatly. Of course, this is due to the fact that he used to be the leader of a mercenary group, so he has a good foundation, but it is more because of Sean's unreserved trust in him that allows him to become one of the most powerful generals in the territory at the moment.

In fact, Alfred knew very well that if the Thunder Lion under his command was handed over to William, then he would definitely be able to exert greater combat power than him. Even if it is not William himself commanding, but Clov, he can still become more powerful, and even among the younger generation of generals, the potential of these two people like Aldolph and Nock is also very great, and it is more valuable to hand over the Thunder Lion to these two people than to him.

After all, one of these two is the best at assault and the other is the best at galloping, and the Thunder Lion's initial war positioning is to fight tough battles.

Turning around, Alfred glanced at the soldiers behind him.

These people may have had a good family and a future, but the moment they became slaves, they had nothing. And as a slave, it is already a very luxurious thing to be able to live, and when Sean gave them a new future and hope, and he, the commander, gave them pride and dignity, the military spirit of this army has begun to condense.

After more than a dozen wars, large and small. Today's Thunder Lion will only recognize him as a lion king, even if William personally takes over the command, he may not be able to make this group of unruly lions obedient, let alone young generals like Nock and Aldolph who are lower than him.

Only the sophisticated Alfred knew that it was all created by William.

The purpose, of course, is to make his position stronger.

Because in the first batch of followers, Rena has successfully broken through to the top gold, and if he doesn't have some contribution and value, then even if he is the first person to follow Sean, he will be marginalized sooner or later. Whether it was for his daughter or to repay Sean's kindness, Alfred would never allow himself to be marginalized.

Hold the halberd in your hand. Alfred turned his head to look at the young man next to him.

He remembered that the man seemed to be named Spayne, a demon hunter.

When he was a mercenary, Alfred had a lot of dealings with demon hunters, and he didn't like or dislike this kind of people, after all, they were just to survive better in this world. But what Alfred couldn't understand was. In order to understand why this young man will be assigned to Clov's Cecilia Guard, which is currently under Sean's command and is nicknamed the "Army of Death". Because his battle loss rate was the largest of all armies.

After the end of almost every war. The entire army was already on the verge of disbanding.

Of course, although the Cecilia Guards had the highest casualty rate, the same army was also the strongest. In the scale of less than 1,000 people, no one under Sean except William dared to say that he could win Clov, even if it was a battle of 5,000 people, Clov maintained a winning rate of nearly 70%. This is also because Clov's Cecilia Guards Regiment is only 1,000 people, and if he has a scale of 5,000 people, I am afraid that he will dare to fight in the face of an army of more than 10,000 people.

So throwing the demon hunter into Clov's army, Alfred really didn't know if Shaun was interested in the young man's potential or wished him die soon.

But that's it. Alfred didn't have to think about it, the only thing he needed to think about at the moment was how to complete the task assigned by Sean, so he asked, "How long will it take to reach your destination?" ”

Although Spayne tried his best to stay calm, the cold killing intent on Alfred's body still made him tremble.

As a demon hunter, he had already seen many extremely murderous people, and even in the face of a powerhouse like Dianes, who was extremely famous in the gray shadow black market, he would not have this trembling feeling. But when he faced these followers under Sean's command, he had a trembling feeling from his soul, even when facing the honest Northland barbarian leader, he didn't dare to let out an air.

It was only at this moment that he really knew what the confidence of the lord of the Dao Dao was.

"It's about half a day away." Spane replied respectfully.

About two weeks ago, he had set out from the Grey Shadow Market to deliver the letter written by Sean himself to Alfred. He had thought that he would have to wait several days before making his next move, but that night, he was asked to lead the way back to the Gray Shadow Black Market, accompanied by three thousand soldiers and four men who were said to be the commanders of the legion.

Among them was his future boss, the head of the Cecilia Guards, Clov.

If there was still some resentment about Sean's arrangement for him to join Cecilia's Guards before, now his resentment is about to turn into obsession.

Because after hearing about Sean's arrangement and his vow to protect Cecilia, his future boss Clov actually smiled and said to him: "Welcome to my Death Army, as long as you can live, then your dream will be realized one day." ”

Three thousand soldiers, one thousand from the Lion of Thunder, one thousand fifteen hundred from the Iron Wings, and the last five hundred from the Cecilia Guard.

The four regimental commanders were Alfred, the commander of the Thunder Lion, Anno of the Iron Wing, the commander of the Cecilia Guards, and a woman, who was said to be the commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment and the strongest of all the people present.

Rena.

But now he was following Alfred and the thousand Thunder Lion soldiers under his command.

There are a total of three exits to the Gray Shadow Black Market, according to Sean's idea. Now that we have made up our minds to wipe out all the chambers of commerce in the black market, of course it is impossible to make any gaps around them, which is destined to be a war to the death as long as you resist, so the three entrances and exits must be blocked.

The entrance to the black market, which is currently close to Pandaling's side, is in charge of Anno and his steel wings.

Close to the entrance to the black market on the side of Burbice Territory, because there is a high probability of a tragic war, it is up to Alfred and his Thunder Lion to be in charge, because only his Thunder Lion is still fully staffed, so even if something happens, it can withstand attrition. As for the safest entrance to the Yederby, it was taken care of by Clough and his Cecilia Guard. However, because this position is the first breakthrough to launch a battle in the reservation, the strongest Rena is also with Clov.

At this moment, Spayne finally realized how crazy the lord he was about to take refuge in was.

Not to mention what kind of chaos and sensation these soldiers will cause when they appear in the Gray Shadow Black Market, it is just the battle plan he currently knows, which is definitely not something that normal people do.

This is to be the enemy of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!

Spayne looked at Alfred, a middle-aged man about the same age as his uncle. There was a bit of confusion in his eyes.

He didn't understand, didn't these people know the terrible power of the Lu Dao Chamber of Commerce Alliance? For anything, everyone's eyes did not show the slightest fear. Instead, it looks like a matter of course? Even the soldiers behind these people. They were all full of interest, as if they didn't take the Chamber of Commerce Alliance into account at all.

Alfred listened to Spayne's pretended calm voice and smiled gently: "I think you and Ruby must be good friends." ”

"Rupee?" Spayne was a little confused.

"A kid a few years younger than you." Alfred smiled, "Although he is young, his current strength is not very good. But this kid is very favorable, I think...... You and he may be able to talk to him in many ways. ”

"Can we talk?" Spayne was even more confused.

Alfred nodded: "You'll know later, as long as you can survive one or two wars, you will definitely have some contact." ”

I don't know what the road is for. Hearing Alfred's words, Spayne felt a chill even worse.

At this moment, Alfred suddenly stopped, and the thousand Thunder Lion soldiers behind him also stopped in unison.

Silence.

Spayne turned his head in some fright, and then saw that about ten meters in front of him, three people were walking slowly.

The one who leads is the lord for whom he will serve in the future.

Sean. Connelly.

It was the first time he had paid attention to a man his age, and it was only at this moment that he finally felt that there was a unique temperament in this young man that he had neglected before. This temperament was not very obvious, but as he walked slowly, it became more and more prosperous, and when the distance was less than three meters, Spane even felt that he could not breathe, as if the space around him was frozen.

This powerful momentum and pressure was the first time he felt from this young lord.

Seeing Sean walking slowly, Alfred finally got down on one knee.

The lion king, who was already famous in Dabiang, and was not even as famous as Sean and William, lowered his arrogant head and expressed his respect to Sean. With Alfred's movements, a thousand lions knelt down on one knee behind him, they put down their weapons and shields, and placed their right hands in a fist on their chests, and their originally unruly and unbridled faces became solemn, bowing their heads slightly like Alfred, expressing their heartfelt respect to the lord who gave them new life and hope.

Although the movements were light, it could even be said that there was hardly any noise, but the solemn aura emanating from them made this area of the forest quiet, not only the sound of birds, but also the sound of insects completely disappeared.

Spayne was okay, after all, he had been walking with Alfred's lions for a few days, and he had even seen strong men like Rena and Clov, as well as elite regiments like Cecilia's Guards and Steel Wings, so he didn't have much expression, just knelt down sluggishly. And Bannock looked at the dense and completely uncountable blue heavily armored soldiers in his field of vision, looking at the neat military appearance of these people and the murderous aura emanating from them, he only had endless shock in his heart.

He knew that as long as he didn't die, his future status would definitely be countless times more noble than that of a demon hunter.

So, although his movements were a little rusty, he still learned to kneel on one knee.

In an instant, in this venue full of murderous atmosphere, only Sean and Cecilia were still standing.

Looking at the person in front of him, Sean's calm face finally had a little more smile.

That's what he's proud of.

"Are you all ready?"

"Everything has been arranged according to your orders."

"Good." Sean nodded, "I think everyone here should be very clear about what we are going to face next, which is a war and revenge that will probably be even more tragic than Dabiang's counterattack." But this war we have to fight, because behind us, is our homeland, if we compromise and retreat, then we will never have a real peace, so even if the revenge of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is like a storm, we will have to fight this war, especially at this moment when we are about to go to war with the southern nobles of Dabion. ”

Sean's voice was flat, not too impassioned, but there was a real feeling that made people feel as if their body and mind were completely on fire.

"I will not deceive you, nor will I embarrass you, so you can make your own choice, and even if you choose to leave now and not participate in this war, no one will laugh at you. Of course, whether you participate in this war or not, I will restore your status as free people, and from this moment on, you will no longer be slaves, so please choose wisely. ”

There was silence.

No one left.

Sean waited for a full ten minutes before speaking again, "Since you all trust me and put your lives in my hands, then take your weapons and set off with me now." …… I, I will lead you to witness a miracle. ”

"As you wish, my lord." Alfred said in a deep voice, then picked up the flaming lion's fangs and stood up calmly.

This was the first time Alfred had called Sean my lord.

This is also the honorific title given to the king by the wandering tribesmen at the end of the distant Age of Ashes. (To be continued......)
