Lord of War

Vol 3 Chapter 397: . Sean's Stagnation



  "Why is this guy here!?" Seeing the situation at the gate, Kristina's face showed a look of confusion and shock.

  However, she is also a simple and neat lord, seeing the situation at the gate of the city, Dang Even ran directly towards the gate.

  The people who entered the city are not other people, they are Sean, Kozilek, Levi and Alyssa.

Adroan is the terminal of Sean’s action plan this time. Here he will use the teleportation magic circle to directly teleport over a long distance, striving to reach the northern solitary tower in the shortest possible time, because he has no extra time. wasted.

  On the way to Adroan, Sean naturally also had contact with several caravans.

  From the mouth of these caravans, Sean learned that Emily had indeed suffered an assassination. Although I don’t know the specific actions, according to the news from the caravan’s mouth, it can hardly be called an assassination, but a naked assassination. Two-thirds of his troops were lost, and even the twelve God of War knights around Emily died of seven or eight people, and Emily herself suffered a lot of injuries.

  At the last moment, it was the foreshadowing left by Sean-the powerful Earl from Hecarom, Anton personally led a troop to arrive, and finally repelled these assassins.

All the assassins, after the failure of the action plan, did not have any life left-not to say that no prisoners were caught, but these people were obviously prepared for sacrifice long ago. Everyone had prepared poison in advance. As a result, immediately after being captured, he swallowed poison and committed suicide. To some extent, this approach is very similar to the practice of the Priory, the Temple of Shadows, and the Assassin Alliance.

  But in the Northern Principality Federation, it is impossible for the Temple of Shadows to infiltrate, so the biggest suspicion falls on the Assassin Alliance and the Priory.

  Sean did not expect that the other party was so courageous. In order to remove Emily, he joined forces with other forces. In fact, although Sean expected that the other party might send some loyal confidants to join other people, he never expected such a big battle. It's not generally light anymore.

  Because of this, Sean was a little worried about Emily's safety at this time.

  He doesn’t want things to happen until now. Have to re-select a saint spokesperson. Of course the most important. It’s Emily who hides the secret of the **** stealer. If this secret is discovered, maybe he will become a public enemy of the entire continent-even if he has a good relationship with Aswinter, this Bingxue Goddess and Winter will definitely not protect her, after all, Sean now has the ability to threaten her.

  For various purposes, Sean also had to speed up the pace of his journey and immediately rushed to Adroan.

  If you let Sean know. Adroan has implemented military control. And if the teleportation magic circle is closed, Sean will definitely not enter here. At this point, I have to admire Woody Wyrian’s very clever means. The control of the entire city of Adroan has reached an astonishing level. It is actually able to completely block the entire city’s external intelligence information, so that no one knows today. The city of Adroan is already closed.

  After entering the city, Xiao En's brows couldn't help but frowned.

  Although he has never been to the city of Adroan in the future, but for this heavy city known as the "first line of defense on the east wall". Naturally, it is also heard.

  At least, in the information that Sean heard. This city should be very prosperous, and the daily flow of people in and out should be no less than 10,000 units. Although there will be a large number of guards patrolling and maintaining law and order on the streets, the entire city will still show an indescribable vitality. This vitality is the true expression of the four words "prosperous" in this heavy city. .

   But now.

The streets that Sean saw were still crowded, and there were all kinds of shouts of business, but the feeling to Sean did not seem to be full of energy, on the contrary, it showed a sense of lifelessness. Looks like. It was as if there was a powerful shadow hovering in Adroan, and the people here were a little out of breath, everyone seemed worried and panicked.

  Moreover, a large number of patrolling guards can be seen everywhere in the streets of the city.

  Especially some important road junctions, there are corresponding checkpoints and defense fortresses arranged, and the whole city seems to be arranged into a huge defense cobweb. As long as there is a problem in any place, the surrounding area can be supported by hundreds of soldiers at the first time, and through the arrangement of the defense fort, it is also a defensive structure that can be attacked and defended. It is impossible to break through easily. Things.

  After all, Sean is a person who has really experienced battlefield conquests, so once he sees this arrangement, he will never know the situation of Adroan’s entry into military control.

  He immediately felt a toothache plus egg pain.

  According to the current "Transport Magic Array Convention" in Marvel Continent, if a city enters a state of military control, the teleportation magic array will be closed as soon as possible. And the closure of a teleportation magic circle is equivalent to interrupting all the functions of teleportation magic circle in the area formed by the node-in other words, if the teleportation network carried out by someone's teleport destination has to pass through the Adrian City If you send the magic circle node, then the transfer will fail, and the other party must detour or re-select the target of the transfer.

  Sean began to wonder if he had used up all his luck after obtaining the silver body.

  First, he caused a lot of trouble in Martha City, which caused him to make a new plan to move forward. As a result, I didn’t expect that after half a month’s journey, I discovered that the target city I originally planned had actually entered a state of martial law under military control, which meant that the teleportation magic arrays in the surrounding four or five cities were completely interrupted. If Sean wants to use the teleportation magic circle, I'm afraid he can only continue northward.

  This fact made Sean curse fiercely.

   "Let's go." Sean waved his hand, Dang Even turned and left.

   "Go?" Levi was taken aback, "Where are we going? Didn't we just enter the city?"

"There is no way, military control is carried out here, the teleportation magic circle is closed, we can only go to other cities." Xiao En said helplessly, "Let's go. Taking advantage of the early days, we will go on the road earlier. Maybe I can find a small town to rest in time for nightfall, otherwise I'm afraid I will sleep in the wild."

  Levy and Alyssa didn’t know anything about the "Transport Magic Array Convention", and naturally they would not know these things.

  After all, it hasn’t been long since the two came to the realm. And there will be no military control on the floating islands.

  In fact. Even if the Floating Island is the daily maintenance team, it is also in charge of the Discipline Committee of the Floating Saint Academy. Of course, the twelve high-ranking families and those big families will naturally also train a group of thugs, but these people are responsible for the safety of their respective families and manors, and cannot interfere with the daily operations of the entire floating island.

  To put it simply, it is the distinction between police and bodyguards.

  So Levi and Alyssa, don’t say they don’t know anything like "Transport Magic Array Convention", and they don’t even know what military control means.

  But they still understand one thing. That's when Sean said to leave here. So as the person responsible for protecting Sean's safety, he naturally left with him.

  It’s just that it’s difficult to get out of the city easily.

When Xiao En and the other four turned around less than five minutes into the city and then wanted to leave, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate immediately intercepted them.

   "What do you mean?" Sean raised his brow slightly, and there was anger in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, this sir, because the city of Adroan has been mixed with infidels, it has now implemented a temporary control law." A middle-aged man who looks like a captain said in a deep voice, neither humble nor arrogant, "After everyone enters the city .. They are not allowed to leave at will.... If you want to leave the city, you must fill out an application form. And you have a guarantor to guarantee you, and you are allowed to leave after passing the review.”

"The four of us entered the city for less than five minutes, and we didn't even enter the city formally. We just stood here for a while at the city gate. Do you think we can take people away?" Xiao En was not angry, so he went straight. He shouted, "Do you all have pits in your brain? Or are your eyes blind?"

Faced with Sean’s anger, the middle-aged officer still said in a deep voice: "Sorry sir, the heretics are very cunning and weird. No one can guarantee whether something is wrong with you, so if you want to get out of town. , Please fill out the form first, conduct related review, and leave after confirming that there are no problems."

   Xiao En didn’t know, this was the latest order from the city lord’s mansion only half an hour ago.

  If Sean enters the city half an hour earlier, the officer will not fill in the application form with Sean, but simply refuse.

  It was not that no one had instigated and attacked the city gates in an attempt to cause **** conflicts, forcing Woody Wyrian to be controlled by the pressure of public opinion and let go.

  But the nobles who can get the prefix of "strength" here in the Commonwealth of the Northern Principalities, which one is simple and easy?

  Woody did not hesitate to directly order the [Wyrian Cavalry Corps] to take action, and immediately put the **** conflict in place, even Woody took the shot himself. Directly killed more than a dozen adventurers and mercenaries, and forcibly expropriated and disbanded three caravans. They also arrested all the caravan’s guards, business leaders and others. They are still locked in a big jail. Means to prove the determination of Adroan City.

  So, naturally no one would dare to make trouble.

When ordinary adventurers and mercenaries entered the city, they found out that this situation was the same as Sean and wanted to turn around and leave, but after being surrounded by [Wyrian Cavalry Corps], they had no choice but to give up the use of force. Out of town. In the Northern Principality Federation, some nobles can offend, even if they are killed, it doesn’t matter, but some nobles can’t cause conflicts anyway.

  Woody Wyrian is undoubtedly one of the nobles who cannot cause any conflicts.

  The name of the Marquis of Strength is not a joke.

  Once any conflict arises, whether it is to maintain the prefix of "strength" or to maintain the face of the family, these nobles will dispatch a large number of troops to hunt down and encircle and suppress, or it may be a situation of endless war.

  Even though Sean really let go of his hands and feet to open the killing ring, he would naturally not be afraid of the marquis of strength, but it would undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. So if the problem can be solved by non-armed means, Sean naturally hopes to be able to solve the problem by non-armed means.

  At this time, following the actions of the middle-aged officer, soldiers from the surrounding defensive fortresses began to complete the assembly, and the phalanx was opened to advance gradually.

  This is a very clever means of psychological suppression.

  Usually adventurers and mercenaries rarely confront the army. And the murderous intent of those real powerful legions will naturally not be low. Perhaps they are not opponents of adventurers and mercenaries in fighting alone, but once the formation of an army is formed, the aura is enough to deter ordinary adventurers and mercenaries. Coupled with the momentum created by striding, and the surrounding momentum formed by the joint advancement of multiple square formations around it. It is easier to defeat the psychological defenses of general adventurers and mercenaries.

  This means. It may be feasible to deal with ordinary people.

  But it is obviously impossible to deal with Sean.

Levi and Alyssa are also strong in the upper sanctuary. They have also served as a commissioner of discipline on the floating island. They have been responsible for public security patrols. They have also worked with many lawbreakers and have seen blood. How could a person be deterred by such a momentum.

  And Kozilek, at this time, there was also a look of ambiguity in his eyes—for him. Everything in these worlds is food. Of course for the soldiers around. Kozilek still seemed a bit disdainful, because their fire of life was too weak. The sanctuary powerhouses are deadly threatening, but Kozilek's calculation method does not look at it that way.

  He is a typical emphasis on quality but not weight.

  Of course, if there is no quality, it is allowed to use the amount to make up the number.

  Shaun?

  This guy is typically confident.

   Not to mention that there are two high-ranking sanctuary powerhouses around him, plus a legendary pinnacle, even if there are no such powerhouses. After all, he is also a person who has experienced big scenes, how can he be frightened by the aura of these soldiers. Even if he is alone. He is also completely confident that he can rush out of the city, so naturally he will not put these people in his eyes.

  However, this middle-aged officer is obviously not an ordinary person.

When he saw that the momentum created by the mobilization of the surrounding troops failed to scare these people, he realized that these people in front of him were not ordinary people, so the hands behind his back had secrets to make a few. action.

   Soon, the East Gate of Adroan began to close, and some people even started to contact the City Lord’s Mansion.

  Seeing this scene, Xiao En's face changed slightly.

  But after a slight change, Xiao En’s face looked abnormally gloomy: "You are forcing me."

   "This gentleman, please cooperate with our work." The middle-aged officer still said that.

  But facing the aura that began to exude from Sean, the middle-aged officer also began to feel strong pressure, which shocked his heart. His strength is already at the top of the golden peak, and he is now trying to find a way to break into the sanctuary. Although he is not known for his personal strength in the army, he is also a middle-level commander. What kind of big scene has not been seen?

  On the ability to withstand stress, it is naturally not inferior to ordinary people.

  But in front of Sean, he felt that his shoulders seemed to resist a mountain, not only making him breathless, but even faintly showing signs of kneeling. How could he not be surprised? It's just that under so many hands, even if he couldn't hold it, he still had to hold on, so his face quickly became extremely pale, and even a faint trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, apparently suffering a lot of internal injuries.

   "Looking for death!" Xiao En's face finally turned into a little anger.

  In the Commonwealth of the Northern Principality, Sean has done his best to exercise restraint along the way. If he changed to the Southern Continent, Sean would have killed him. But the successive unsuccessful encounters, coupled with being chased by people and hearing about the big problems Emily encountered, finally made the anger in Xiao En's heart reach a critical point, and it was about to burst out completely at this time.

   "What are you doing!" A clear drink, sounded from behind Xiao En and others.

  Hearing a slightly familiar voice, Xiao En's face was slightly taken aback, and he thought: Wouldn't it be such a bad luck?

  At this moment, there is no anger.

   is simply a chill.

   Turned around, and she saw Christina walking towards her with a cold face.

   "Damn it!" Sean immediately cursed again, "How come I met this crazy lady here."

  Don’t say Woody Wyrian doesn’t want to see the people of the Peace Council.

  Even Sean is also reluctant to see these lunatics.

  Because countless facts have proved that as long as they have a relationship with these lunatics, there is no good result-Sean lied to sign an agreement with him when he met Christina for the first time. I sent out a stronghold of Deaththorn in exchange for the other party not to interfere in the affairs of Ryan's annexation of Darbion; but I did not expect that the result would lead to deaththorn's crazy revenge, for which Sean had to do it with Christina A second transaction was made.

  Originally, this time when he came to the Commonwealth of the Northern Principality, Sean awakened his spirits. Naturally, he did not want to have any entanglements with Christina or other people in the Peace Council. And in Sean's view, it has been more than a year since he told Christina before. It stands to reason that it should have been withdrawn from the Commonwealth of the Northern Principality long ago. I saw Christina's figure at this time. In addition, the middle-aged officer said that Adron had mixed with the heretics, and he immediately knew that the Peace Council had come to the Northern Duchy to eliminate the heretics and the matter had not been completely resolved.

  Thinking of this, Sean couldn’t help but cursed again: “A bunch of trash, it’s been almost a year, and it hasn’t solved the problem, but instead let go of the goal.”

  Of course these words, Sean is just cursing silently in his heart. Speak out in front of Christina. Sean didn't want to ask for trouble.

  The middle-aged officer just got out of Sean’s pressure and momentum. In a blink of an eye, he saw Christina walking towards him, and his face was again distressed.

  Of course he wouldn’t be ignorant of who this woman is.

It is because of this woman that the current city of Adroan has entered a state of military control under martial law, and even the entire [Wyeran Cavalry Corps] has to send a large number of soldiers to follow this mad woman to wipe her buttocks and solve a lot of problems. The trouble caused by her. So for Christina, don't talk about this middle-aged officer. The whole city of Adroan will not have any favorable impressions.

  But after the depression, the middle-aged officer looked at Xiao En and others. Inwardly, it was a bit dark and refreshing.

  He knew very well that the cause of the first bloodshed incident was that this woman directly killed several people who wanted to rush out of the city.

  At this time, Xiao En and others were obviously about to rush out of the city. The middle-aged officer was ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Just thinking that he and others were going to wipe the **** for this crazy woman for a while, and the middle-aged officer’s complexion really didn’t get better, especially when he saw at a glance that Xiao En and others were afraid of their extraordinary strength. Cooperating with this woman in besieging the four of her, this conflict may cause many brothers to die today.

   "My lord, these four are trying to storm the city." In the face of Christina's loud scolding, the middle-aged officer still had the attitude of neither humble nor arrogant.

   "Oh?" Christina raised her eyebrows, and then looked back at Sean, her eyes filled with curiosity, "Why are you here?"

   Hearing the familiarity revealed in Christina's voice, the middle-aged officer couldn't help being taken aback.

  Wrong, the script shouldn’t be played like this!

  Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?

What a genius Shaun was. He wanted to answer Christina’s words, but when she saw this middle-aged officer's faint look, she coldly snorted, "What? You want to see me and Christina." Miss conflict?... Could it be that the conflict between me and Miss Christina is something you would like to see?"

  Kristina's face also became a little angry when she heard Sean's words.

   turned his head, staring at the middle-aged officer, his expression was unusually cold, his eyes were almost as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Kristina, I'm very curious, what on earth did you do, so many people hate you, and even want to see you die." Sean is a lord who fears that the world will not be chaotic, so naturally he just started right now. Inflamed the flames, "If I didn't know you today, I'm afraid we would have started fighting now.... I have to wonder if you were used as a knife before."

   Hearing Sean’s words, Kristina thought for a while, and her face became colder.

  The last time she made a murder, it was also because the middle-aged officer said that the other party wanted to rush to the city, so she hurt the killer.

  Of course, the shot that time did not rule out that she was in a bad mood, and there was a reason for her to kill the chicken and the monkey.

   Hearing Sean’s words, the middle-aged officer’s face changed drastically, because apparently he also realized that the last time he did say to Christina that the other party was about to rush to the city, it was exactly the same as this time.

   "I will report this to Mr. Woody." Christina said in a deep voice.

  The middle-aged officer only felt a little bitter at the moment.

  He knew that no matter what the result was, Woody had to give Christina an explanation. Even if he was just acting, he would definitely be temporarily suspended, which made his heart feel abnormally frustrated. It's just that he also knows that he only hates that he shouldn't show that look just now, and let others have an excuse. But he is also smart, knowing that he shouldn't refute anything at this time, otherwise he's afraid that his life will be lost.

  Seeing the middle-aged officer's silent excuse, this made Sean feel a little bit boring.

  Only Kristina was born in a peaceful parliament, and it was easier for lunatics who didn't think about common sense to fool around. Like these veterans from the real army, it was really difficult to use means to fight back. It's just that Sean believes that for Christina's face, this officer will definitely suffer a dumb loss, so Sean doesn't plan to pester this matter anymore.

He turned his head directly and said to Christina: "I have an urgent matter. I wanted to leave through the teleportation magic circle here, but I didn't expect to encounter military control. Can you help me solve it? If it doesn't work, you Give me a guarantee and let me leave the city now."

"No." Kristina shook her head, looking like she was doing business. "I can guarantee you, but you still have to fill out the application form and review it. I don't have the right to violate the rules. After all, it's me. It’s hard for me to make an exception to the rules set with Mr. Woody."

  Christina is naturally not really stupid.

  If she makes an exception for Sean, then Woody can naturally open the back door for a little bit by then, and Christina will naturally be unable to blame anything. Christina will never make these principled mistakes on this kind of principled issues of right and wrong.

   "What the **** is going to lock down the city?" Sean was also a little helpless, "I heard that a heretic has mixed into Adron? Do you need my help?"

  He naturally knew that Christina was not really stupid.

  Before, he flicked a bit and asked Kristina to breathe out for himself. This kind of thing is not a big problem, Kristina is naturally willing to cooperate, after all, this can also consolidate her authority. But when it comes to a matter of principle, Sean knows that it is not easy to fool this mad woman.

   Therefore, he is quite open to it. Instead of filling out the **** application form and waiting in line for the review and inspection, he might as well directly help Kristina solve the problem, so that he can sell a favor to Kristina. And as long as the matter is resolved, he will be able to use the teleportation magic circle, which is much faster than if he leaves Adroan and heads to the next destination city.

   "I really need your help." Christina was not polite to Sean's question, "You come with me!" (to be continued~^~)

  PS:  It’s still about paying off debts. I’m too lazy to cut the plot. It looks more coherent when connected. Even if it’s two in one, it was originally a three chapter integration. Two chapters are still missing.
