267. The Return
After killing a group of elven powerhouses, Sean did not show much joy.
Instead, his brows furrowed even deeper.
He knew that this qiē would not be an accident, but a conspiracy that had been prepared for a long time. It's just that when did this conspiracy begin? Has there been a plot since the Void Principality was founded, or has it been since he entered the Savage Lands, or has it been earlier? And judging from this series of large-scale strokes, this will definitely not be something that can be coordinated by one force, at least it must be the joint efforts of multiple forces.
So which forces want his life?
Dead thorns? Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance? The Lane Senétrites?
There are only a few enemies that Sean can think of.
But he had already fought with Deaththorn, not to mention that the Dark Seerers had retreated, and from the Demon Sword. The Demon Boy and the Undead Girl. Judging from Wendy's words, it is obvious that Deaththorn did not participate in this plan this time, or even if he was involved, it was a higher-level problem, at least people at the level of Thirteen Coffins could not know the detailed information. But if someone from the higher levels of Deaththorn intervenes, then the enemy that Sean needs to face is a legendary powerhouse, not just a sanctuary level. And if it was a legendary powerhouse, Sean didn't think he would still be alive.
Standing in the night breeze, Sean's gaze was particularly gloomy, because this was the first time he felt a little dazed and helpless since he came to this world.
Nolo is cleaning up the battlefield and giving the last stab to these elven powerhouses to prevent these guys from having any secret tricks to trick them to death.
It seems that the elven side did not anticipate the possibility of failure of this operation, so the things that these five people carried were not bad. Especially the gray elf, who actually directly brought all the gains in the Wind Feather Tribe this time with him. In this way, it is naturally cheaper Sean. It's just that when he checked the contents of the spatial storage bracelet, Sean inevitably sighed. Because when he saw what was hidden in that bracelet, he knew that the Wind Feather Tribe was done.
Even the tree of life in his own tribe has been cut down, and the heart of the tree and the essence of the tree of life have been taken out, how can it be possible to live.
Needless to say, even the two mid-rank Sacred Domain powerhouses of the Wind Feather Tribe must have fallen.
You must know that in the wilderness, the fall of the powerhouse of the Holy Domain has never been a trivial matter, after all, the powerhouse of this level is at least a tribe above the second rank. And every Sanctuary powerhouse is an extremely valuable strategic resource of the Savage Land, and it is the foundation for the Savage Land to survive the constant wars with many kingdoms and empires. Therefore, once a powerhouse in the Sacred Realm falls, the entire Savage Land will learn the information as soon as possible, and then the Barbarian Council will immediately make corresponding defensive adjustments.
But this time, no news was leaked.
This kind of intelligence blockade capability will definitely not be possessed by people in the wilderness.
"We're going to get back on the road now." Sean said in a deep voice.
"However, we don't have mounts anymore." Nolo frowned, "And your situation ......"
Others may not know Sean's situation at this time, but Nolo, as a soul contract symbiote, he knows it clearly. Sean's body was almost at its limit. Originally, tonight's rest was to allow Sean's body to recover and make sufficient preparations for the subsequent continuous rush, but now this rest has been interrupted. This is naturally extremely disadvantageous for Sean.
And most importantly, their mounts are gone.
"It's not safe right now, anyway. We all have to get out of here first. Sean said in a deep voice, "As for the mount. We'll figure it out later, and we'll have to pass through a lot of tribes along the way. Buying two mounts is not a problem. ”
Originally, Sean didn't plan to pass through these tribes, after all, it was likely to cause some new problems, especially since many of these tribes were very hostile to humans. It's just that now, Sean can't care about this, he must return to the Void Principality as quickly as possible, and the straight-line distance between the two points is the shortest, so Sean decided to move in a straight line, as for whether these tribes are friendly or not, Sean doesn't care about their attitude at all.
People block killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha.
From Sean's eyes, Nolo and Rena read such a determination, which also made the two of them secretly frightened in their hearts.
Especially Rena.
As an old man who has followed Sean for a long time, Rena may not know Sean as well as Cecilia, Alfred, and William, but she is not much weaker than these people.
All along, no matter how crazy Sean is, he will at least deal with it according to the rules, and will never exceed these rules. Even if many things are not smooth enough to deal with, Rena also knows that nobles will have their own set of rules for doing things, as long as they do things according to this set of rules, then there will not be too much trouble and sequelae, no matter how unwilling the opponent is, he will not be able to use the power beyond the rules.
And intrigue and trickery, the top of the void composed of Sean, William, Hela, and Neil are not afraid at all.
In other words, no conspiracy and trickery can escape the counterattack of William, Hela, and Neil.
Especially in the incident that shocked the entire Void Realm and became the Void Principality, it made many people know that they should never try to play with the Void Principality. Of course, if assassination is a successful method, it is naturally a strategy - in the ancient aristocratic law, assassination has always been a default rule, provided that no clues are found, of course.
That's why there was an assassination plan against William this time.
That's why there was an ambush plan against Sean this time.
And with William's assassination, Hela is not in the principality, the Lion of Thunder and Cecilia's Guards are also not in the principality, and even the core high-level leaders of the Void Duchy such as Sean and Cecilia are also absent, so it is not difficult to imagine what kind of turmoil there will be in the Void Duchy today. Although Neil's management methods in internal affairs can be described as superb, he wants to resist a series of actions that the other party has been preparing for a long time. It's not easy to be afraid.
Therefore, will Sean be able to return to the Void Principality as much as possible? It became an important event that could determine the future power of the Void Principality.
Not long after Sean and the others left the scene where a brief fierce battle broke out, three more horsemen rushed here.
One of them is a mysterious man whose whole body is shrouded in mage robes. The two horsemen who followed him were a gray elf and a human man.
When the gray elf saw the gray elf companion lying on the ground, his face changed suddenly, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, and immediately ran towards his companion. But after just one glance, his expression became full of anger, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at the mysterious man in the mage robe in the middle, and the killing intent stabbed straight away like a sheathed sword, only when he approached the mysterious man's body. But it was blocked by the human man.
Judging from the momentum that these two people burst out at this moment, it is obvious that these two people are both powerhouses at the mid-level Sacred Domain.
"You said it would be fine!" The gray elf stared at the mysterious man, but despite his anger, he did not act rashly, it was obvious that he was a little jealous of the mysterious man and his entourage.
"It was really my mistake." The mysterious man spoke, his voice was a little low, it was difficult to judge the age of this person from the voice alone, "I didn't expect that the other party's wild trip this time has grown a lot." …… That's why I said. This person must be dealt with as quickly as possible, and his growth rate ...... It's just too fast. It's a pity that those short-sighted guys in China don't know the terrible Cheng dù of this matter at all. ”
"Your lord, how can those ordinary people understand." The human man said in a deep voice. "So are we going to use the second option?"
"No need." The mystery man shook his head, "It's pointless. According to the intelligence, the Thunder Valkyrie was also there. It is impossible to stop them from returning home. …… The only thing I want to know now is what the outcome of that battle will be. Why hasn't there been any message back until now? ”
"The other side has blocked the border." Hearing the mysterious man's words, the middle-aged man also seemed a little embarrassed. "Our people can't leave right now, and ...... The Void Duchy is like madness, and anyone who tries to force their way out will be mercilessly killed, and it is said that several caravans have already been slaughtered. And I've heard that the Thunder Lion and Cecilia Guards are already on their way back, and it's estimated that they will return to the Void Duchy in two months at most. ”
"It doesn't look like that William's handwriting." The mysterious man's voice could be heard with some doubts, "If it were him, then this kind of intelligence blockade would be more gentle." Such a rough approach...... It looks like a guy named Neil would have done. ”
"So...... Our assassination plan, succeeded? The middle-aged man asked.
"If there are no accidents, it is unlikely that you will fail." The mysterious man responded, "Have you dealt with the clues that may be pursued?" ”
"It's all cleaned up." The middle-aged man nodded, "But on the side of the Void Principality, because there is no way to contact our people yet, I don't know what the specific situation is." ”
"With the caution of those guys, I guess it should be fine. I'm afraid that as soon as it happens, they will destroy the evidence. The mystery man nodded slightly, "Well, we're only left with one trouble now." ”
Speaking of this, the gray elf seemed to feel the gaze of the other two falling on him, which made his face change suddenly. But almost at the moment when he just reacted, the middle-aged man had already made a bold move and slammed into him.
……
March 1878 in the Miracle Calendar.
Grand Duke of the Void, Sean. Connery, and the Valkyrie of Ben Thunder, Rena, have successfully returned to the Void Duchy.
Later in the same month, he went to support Florence. Wyles' legions of the Void Principality, the Lion of Thunder and Cecilia's Guard, who belonged to the Void Principality against the Third Garrison of the Kingdom of Dabion in the Valley of the Broken Dragon, also returned to the Void Principality at the same time.
Also in this March, the turmoil in the Void Principality, which lasted for nearly half a year, finally came to an end. (To be continued......)
