"What's going on?"

As soon as the dinner party was over, Oban, who had not yet laid down, was alarmed by the sudden rise of a pillar of fire in the city. He stood at the bedroom window, and clearly saw the black and red, thick pillars of fire rolling and tumbling, and his brows were almost wrinkled together. Of course, he sensed that it was not a natural explosion, but the traces left by the battle of the strong. After all, the fluctuation of the source force faintly transmitted from the direction of the pillar of fire was enough to explain it.

"Guards! Let the guards go and see what's going on! ”

After Steward Mace appeared in the bedroom, Oban spoke loudly.

The sound of a whistle sounded in the harbor of the ark, and several groups of guards were rushing in the direction of the pillar of fire, and the quiet of the night was shattered, and this qiē was exactly what Alan had hoped for. Standing on the spire of a bell tower, Segris looked intently at the other side of the flickering fire, where the pillar of fire was disappearing, and he grinned: "This meeting will end here, dear brother, I hope you take good care of yourself." Because you can only die at my hands. ”

The cloak on his body was long gone, and there were burn marks on his arms and chest. Although the peculiarity of the Shadow of Nothingness allowed him to avoid all the power of the Flame Ground Rush, he still inevitably suffered some damage, but for him, tonight's temptation had achieved its intended purpose, and it was quite successful.

"Demon Salute, why did that source weapon fall into his hands......" Ségris turned and slid down the spire of the bell tower, disappearing into the alley.

Soon the guards of Ark Harbor arrived at the place where the two were fighting, and Alan did not leave. The captain who led the team recognized this upstart and was immediately surprised: "Why are you, Lord Allen?" ”

"I've been attacked, I'm an alien." Eren then went on to describe Segris's appearance in detail, as well as his markings, abilities, and more.

The Flame Ground Rush was not only to attack Segris, but also to create a commotion, attracting interference from the Ark Harbor. As he had expected, Segris chose to retreat, and the Pillar of Fire attracted the City Guard. Alan took advantage of this opportunity to track down Segris with the help of the Earl's side, even if he did not attack Allen as a baron, just because of his status as a different species, Count Oban could not sit idly by.

With the Count's powers, Alan can track down Segris and set up a kill if necessary. Since Segris took him as a prey, Alan naturally didn't mind killing him at the first opportunity. And the appearance of Segris also confirmed his previous speculation about the path of burning blood. It was a complete way of killing, and the seven inscriptions that appeared in the path of blood, and only one of the seven people represented could sit on the throne of destruction.

As for the remaining six, the results can be imagined. This doomed the seven people to tear each other apart, and the one who survived in the end could reach the end of the bloody road. Whether Eren wants it or not, when his inscription appears in the bloodshed, it has been decided that he must participate in this gladiatorial battle to the death.

One Segres, however, begs more questions. Where does the path of burning blood come from, and what is the meaning of destroying the throne. Finally, where did they originate, Ebones of the Abyss? This qiē question can probably be answered in Segris.

His so-called "brother" is indeed very powerful, even if he puts aside the ability to engrave, based on the source power hierarchy alone, he is probably above Allen. But Alan has integrated into the society of this planet, and he has more power than Segris, and that power is called "power"!

Rumors of the xenomorphs attacking the Baron quickly spread in Ark Harbor, and even the lower classes heard some of the news. After all, the movement created by Allen is not small, and it has alarmed many people, even if Oban has the intention to hide it, he can't hide it. So, under pressure from all sides, the Earl of Urban, as Alan wished, issued an order to hunt down the alien species of Segres, and this order would be fully carried out in the county, and no one dared to take this lightly.

You know, the appearance of xenomorphs in the empire is not an ordinary thing. If Oban does not handle it well, it will even attract the intervention of the Empire, and then it will be a big trouble.

While Count Oban was troubled by the sudden appearance of the xenomorph, Viscount Daniel was also in a bad mood at the mid-lake castle in Lake Portteli. The servants were all cautious today, and even walked on their tiptoes, for fear that the loud voice would attract the viscount's attention. Just yesterday, Daniel received the news of Duruff's death, and his advance party attacking the county had fled.

The commander of the advance party did not return, and from the investigation of several officers, it was known that the commander had probably been killed. This made Daniel's mood fall to the extreme, and Duruff's combat power was only below him. This Hungry Wolf Sir is not a good general, let alone a good lord. But when it comes to personal force, he is impeccable and irreplaceable.

Among Daniel's dependents, Duruff was the strongest. His death is undoubtedly a huge blow to Daniel's overall strength. The loss of a strong man like Duruff is difficult to compensate. Daniel would rather the entire advance party be wiped out than be killed in battle by the hungry wolf baron. The army is gone, and it can be re-recruited, but the strong do not say that there is.

This morning, the Viscount's study was like a storm. Except for a few treasures that were famous, everything else had been shattered.

When the servant in charge of cleaning saw the scene in the study, he was almost stunned. In all his years of service to the Viscount, he had never seen Daniel so angry. Soon, Daniel's dependents were summoned by him to the castle, and at the meeting, the viscount emphasized only one thing.

That's the guy who killed Duruff must die!

In the face of the viscount under the rage, some people raised objections. The baron said in a deep voice, "I have heard that the master who killed Sir Duruff was not from Count Auban, but an upstart who had just joined. Since he can work for Count Oban, he can also work for Lord Viscount, and if we can get enough benefits, I don't think it is impossible. ”

Daniel's brow furrowed, but he seriously considered the mention. He has now lost Duruff, and if he becomes an enemy of such a figure again, even if he can kill the other party in the end, he will have to pay enough price. If, according to the current baron, this man had only just joined Orban's side, then his loyalty to the Count would naturally be considered. Then it is not a bad idea to buy it for your own use. In this way, it can not only make up for Truf's lack of combat power, but also hit Oban, which is to kill two birds with one stone.

At this moment, another knight sitting on the right side sneered and said, "Baron Tomen, you probably haven't figured it out. I also inquired about the red man in front of the Earl of Obana, his name is Allen, and he is from the Frontier Lands. That's right, it's the lord of Storm City, which our coalition besieged not long ago. Do you think such a person will be of use to us? ”

It was Baron Bauhinia Olu who spoke, and the decoration on his body was dominated by bauhinia patterns, which was very recognizable. Tuomen, who was questioned by him, smiled faintly and said, "That little thing, you can't even talk about old hatred." If we come up with enough good things, a fool will refuse. ”

"Or rather, Baron Oulu is sure of defeating him, in that case, my mention is indeed superfluous."

This sentence can make Olu's face redden, they have already suffered a big loss under Storm City before, how can they be sure of victory. He snorted at the moment and simply stopped talking. Daniel glanced at them and said, "Okay, Tomen's mention is not unavoidable. If we can avoid a war with such a strong enemy, it will not be a good thing for us to try it. In this way, you can let people come into contact with this Ellen, and if you can, you can buy it. If not, we'll find another way. ”

"We're here for you, Your Excellency." Tormen stood up and bowed.

At the end of the meeting, the knights stayed in the castle. In a quiet hall, all the knights were gathered except for Tomen. Oulu slammed his hand on the table and said, "This trust door is really hateful, and he actually lost my face in front of the Viscount's eyes. ”

"Now is not the time to worry about this, I do think that even if Sir Alan were to join Master Daniel, it would still be harmful to us." A man with a red beard said in a deep voice, he was the owner of Dawning Castle, Lefus.

"Why do you say that?" Someone asked.

"It's very simple, that person can kill Duruff, and his strength must be above that stupid wolf. What's more, they not only have strong personal strength and a well-established army, but also have a few strong followers. Once such a person enters our circle, he will be important to adults. When the time comes, I'm afraid we'll all have to sit on the cold bench. Lefus snorted.

Olu nodded and said, "That's right, just like Les Fus said." Having Alan on board is not good for us. I think we're going to have to ruin the good things that have to happen to Tormon. ”

"I'll figure out a way to deal with this matter, and Tomen actually wants to pick up a bargain, so I'll give him a trouble." Leffers sneered.

At noon that day, Alan returned to the village that had been occupied by Sir Hungry Wolf that day. He was accompanied by only Regis and Belmode, while Willic remained in Ark Harbor and brought it with him when the army that Count Oban had allocated to Allen had been assembled. When it is said to be an army, it is actually a ragtag army of mercenaries, prisoners, and slaves. The three mercenary groups hired by Oban have their own tasks and cannot be used to draw troops, and as for his direct troops, there are only 1,000 people, and they still need to be used to suppress the scene, so naturally they can't lend it to Allen.

Therefore, the number of soldiers that Allen got in the hands of Oban was limited, but Roger personally gave him two hundred war slaves, which can be called a decent force.

Alan didn't care too much, he already knew about the situation in Ark Harbor, and Oban only took out this bit of goods as he expected. That ragtag army, plus Roger's war slaves, was enough to form a cannon fodder force of about five hundred people. In addition, the team that Eren brought from Storm City and was composed of several troops of the Mountain King and Darkblade was enough to fight a few local wars.

Long before he set out, he had already drawn up a plan and decided to pursue the wolf pack tactics to feed the war with war, so as to quickly build up his own army and power in the local area. Count Oban gave him three points of thin land, and this barren territory was the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion where he entered the hinterland of the empire.

Coming to the village, the villagers have returned. Some of the houses destroyed in the battle that day were being rebuilt, and suddenly seeing Allen's team appear, the people in the village stopped what they were doing and looked at Allen and his party curiously. In their gazes, Alan saw doubt, and a faint hostility.

"Who is the village chief?" Alan asked, sitting on his horse.

After a while, a half-centenarian stepped forward and said, "I am, who is this adult?" ”

"My name is Alan, and from this day forward, I am the owner of this village, as well as the other two surrounding villages. This land has been allocated to me by Count Oban, and I will be your lord from now on. Alan gestured.

Belmode stepped forward and opened a piece of appointment in front of the village chief. The village chief clearly saw the earl's seal on it, and immediately said respectfully: "Lord Allen has come from afar, and it has been hard. You see, now that there is no place to stay in the village, why don't you invite me to my house to rest, and then I will ask the villagers to build a place for everyone to live? ”

"Don't worry about the residence, just go to your house first, I have something to tell you."

The village chief's house is not necessarily much larger than that of the villagers, a two-room house, a small courtyard in front, and some labor tools. Alan told Belmode to take the warriors outside to rest, and he and Regers walked inside. The village chief's son put a cup of tea in front of Allen's eyes and said, "We don't have anything good here, please have some drink from Lord Allen." ”

"It doesn't matter." Alan looked at the village chief and said, "I need you to summon the village chiefs of the other two villages here." ”

"Yes, Hawke, do what Master Snap says."

Half an hour later, the chiefs of the other two villages also arrived. Although they confirmed that the document was indeed from Ark Harbor, they saw that the lord of Allen had a somewhat unnatural expression. Alan coughed lightly and said, "Everyone has arrived, then I would like to ask three men to gather in the village, all the men who are adults, those who are not sick or disabled, I need them to join the army." ”

"Conscription?" One of the village chiefs jumped to his feet and said, "No, when Sir Glar was in charge of this land, we didn't need to join the army at all. And if all the young men go to the army, what will happen to the work in the village, what will happen to their families! ”

Alan frowned, looked at him coldly and said, "First, now this land is no longer owned by Viscount Glaar, but belongs to me. Therefore, my will must be carried out without hindrance and faithfully carried out! Second, when men join the army, I will naturally pay them, so their families will not be affected. Do you get the idea? Village Chief! ”R1058
