Chapter 172 The Lion’s Claw (Part 2)
David is Witte’s eldest son, the eldest of the three brothers. He was still wondering about the purpose of this uninvited guest, but now that he heard Simon’s words, his expression immediately darkened. , and then smiled again: "It turns out it's Raven Since the baron’s envoy is here, why don’t we play together?”
Simon shook his head with a sullen face: “I’m here to do things, not to play”
“Oh. , Then I wonder what the special envoy is going to do?" David kept smiling.
Simon said: "Just like you did to Knight Conchi's daughter."
The smile on David's face disappeared instantly and he frowned: "This is an internal matter within our TEDA territory. Special envoy, you have crossed the line!"
Having stated his intention to come according to Lord Raven's instructions, Simon no longer Duoyan, with a clang, drew out the enchanted sword from his waist.
Seeing this scene, David finally could no longer maintain the dignity of his character, and the corner of his mouth twitched and shouted: "Kill him!"
In David's view, Raven sent him without authorization It is against the rules for people to go deep into the TEDA territory. Even if Simon is killed here, Raven will have to suffer the consequences!
Do you really think that since you have the largest territory, you can do whatever you want?
"No, don't kill him, capture him alive!" Daito, the second son of Knight Witte, licked his lips: "Such a handsome young man is still a soldier, he must be quite exciting to play with!"
At this time, A group of soldiers had already rushed into the tavern and surrounded Simon with various weapons, but Simon seemed to have not seen it and stood there as motionless as a stone statue.
He didn't move, and the soldiers surrounding him didn't dare to move. For some reason, the man in front of them was so handsome and feminine, but they instinctively felt danger.
"Don't be stunned, take action!" David urged impatiently.
Finally, David's guard captain Gogara took a deep breath, pointed the spear in his hand and stabbed Simon in the throat!
The slightly rusty gun tip cut through the air, reflecting the dim candlelight in the tavern. Just when it was about to pierce Simon's throat, Simon moved!
His upper body tilted forward slightly, and he had already avoided the spear's piercing. Then he clamped the hilt of the sword between two fingers of his right hand, clasped his wrist inwards, and the long sword in front of him drew a huge arc like a pendulum. The second hair cut on the gun body first, and there was only a crisp sound, and the spear head of the spear had been cut off by the sword edge!
At this moment, two long swords, one on the left and one on the right, were stabbed in front. Simon leaned down, pushed and released with his right hand, handed the hilt of the sword to his left hand, held the sword in his backhand, twisted his waist, and enchanted The long sword drew an arc, and with a loud sound, the two incoming long swords were thrown away. The huge force caused the wrists of the two sword-holding soldiers to split open and blood burst out!
At the same moment, light blue fighting energy wrapped around Simon's feet. He rushed away from the surroundings like a cheetah and pounced towards the three David brothers!
"Extraordinary!?" Cold sweat trickled down David's forehead, and he was half awake from the wine.
He didn't expect that a random person sent by Raven would be a first-level extraordinary person. Shouldn't Eric be the only extraordinary person under him? ?
In a hurry, David was about to draw his sword to fight back. However, he was an ordinary person who was not even extraordinary, and he was addicted to wine and sex all day long. Although he drew his sword in a panic, he couldn't hold it in his hand. He shook it and dropped it on the ground.
At this time, Simon had already rushed over, turned the sword, and slammed the hilt of the sword into David's face!
“Spare your life——”
“Don’t hurt Master David!”
But it's too late!
With the clear sound of bone cracking, the hilt of the sword dented David's nose and half of his face, and blood and flesh rolled out. David rolled his eyes and fainted.
The women present began to scream, Simon stopped looking at David, and his eyes fell on Daito, the second son of the Knight of Wit.
This young man who was less than twenty years old felt that his legs were weak. He waved his hands and began to beg for mercy: "Special, special envoy, I deserved to die before. I shouldn't have said those words. Please spare me." , I, I will serve you!”
Even with Simon’s calmness, the corners of his mouth began to twitch when he heard these words.
He grabbed Dai Tuo's hair, covered Dai Tuo's face like a seal with his knee, and then threw him on the sofa like a dead dog.
Finally, Simon’s eyes fell on the face of Desser, the third son of Knight Wit.
If we were to say who was the calmest after the whole battle, it was none other than Desser. From the moment Simon entered the room, he had maintained a calm attitude, making Simon unable to tell the difference.
Adhering to caution, Simon kicked up a wine bottle on the ground and threw it towards Desser.
To Simon's expectation, the bottle hit Daiser on the shoulder, and then he saw him sliding down from the sofa with his whole body pouted, with an inexplicable puddle of water trailing behind his butt.
Simon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that he was not calm, but fainted from fear at some point!
Without any scruples, Simon raised his foot and stepped on Desser's face, and crushed it hard. Then he checked again and processed everyone's face again. After making sure that the Baron's requirements were met, he stopped.
During this period, the guards were also shouting loudly, asking Simon to stop, but no one dared to step forward - just kidding, that was an extraordinary person.
For a few silver coins a month as military pay, what kind of life do you have to fight for!
After Simon left, these people dared to rush forward and rush to treat the three young masters.
Half an hour later, Knight Wit looked at the three children lying on the bed, his heart ached so much that he was bleeding!
What he was most proud of in his life were these three sons. They inherited the appearance of their mother, but now, they were beaten to the point of fainting!
The three originally handsome faces almost turned into triplets. Their heads were equally swollen and round, and their faces were equally flat, as if they had been hit by a pan!
"Who did it?" Witte's voice was hoarse and harsh.
Guard Captain Gallagher glanced at Witt secretly and told the story of the incident.
"Raven!?" The corner of Witt's mouth twitched.
He had heard of the name of this upstart from Nord Province, and also knew that he would be the next Sheriff of Xuefeng County, but he did not expect that he would actually reach out to TEDA!
That old guy Kang Qi actually begged an outsider!
Witt gritted his teeth, looked at his three seriously injured children, and ordered in a low voice: "Take care of the three young masters, but don't invite the priest yet!"
The next morning, Witte ordered his three sons, who were swollen into pig heads, to be carried to the castle and met with Baron Sereva.
In front of Baron Seleva, he described Simon's performance and the tragic experience of his children with added embarrassment, but before he could finish speaking, Seleva waved his hands slightly tiredly: "I already know the matter. Come on, go and apologize to Kang Qi."
"What did you say?" Witt couldn't believe his ears.
This time Raven sent people across the border to beat his son, which in itself was ignoring the authority of Baron Sereva. There was no reason for Baron Sereva to behave like this!
Is he afraid of Raven?
But... why?
Not to mention that Raven is not the county chief yet, even if he is, he has no right to interfere in the affairs of other nobles within the territory!
Seeing Witte's doubts, Sereva handed over a letter: "Read it yourself."
After taking the letter, Witte's face froze, and he didn't look at all. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He respectfully put the letter back on the table, turned around and left with his three sons.
Although these three injuries were serious, they have stabilized. The eldest brother David asked vaguely: "Father...why...?"
"Alas..." Witte He sighed and didn't answer.
Sereva did not dare to be dissatisfied, and Witte remained silent. The reason could be traced back to two days ago.
At that time, Simon was still on the road, but Eric had already rushed to the Koga territory of Baron Wessassin. Unlike Simon, who was not as cautious as Simon, he expressed his intention, sent Raven's greetings, and directly Entered the castle.
Baron Wessassin is a second-level void knight who also participated in the previous war with the Death Hand Order. He looks to be in his forties, with a bald head and a thick beard under his chin. , like a moldy braised egg.
"Baron Wessassin." Eric, wearing heavy armor, put his hand on his chest: "I am here on behalf of Baron Raven and want to make a request to you."
Wessassin. Xin touched his beard and asked: "Is it about the port territory?"
"That's right." Eric said calmly: "Now that you know, I won't nag you any more. What my lord wants is to ask you to 'drive away' the group of horse thieves who live in the port territory and return that territory to To The Simpsons ”
If facing a real noble, Wesasin would choose some more tactful ways and talk about some twists and turns that are unique to nobles. But now, facing Eric, even if he knows that he has second-level strength, He didn't take it to heart at all: "Then please also Give a message to Baron Raven."
"I have the final say on Kojia's affairs! Let him take care of his territory!"
Eric raised his eyelids slightly: " Are you planning to reject my Lord Baron’s proposal?”< br>
“Don’t think that you will be superior to others just because you have obtained the Snow Maple Territory.” Wessassin sneered: “He is thinking about the so-called ‘justice’ before he takes up the position of Sheriff. He, Raven, doesn’t have this ability yet. A qualification!”
"Then I'll show you the qualifications of Lord Baron!" Eric said in a deep voice, and silver steel fighting spirit suddenly spurted out from the gaps in the armor like steam, instantly wrapping him in it. The gaps in the armor were filled, making him Turned into a steel giant!
He pulled out the thick enchanted half-sword from his waist, and under the catalysis of the steel fighting spirit, it turned into a giant sword like a door panel. Then he raised it high and chopped it down towards Wesasin. This scene was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Wessassin couldn't imagine that Eric would dare to take action here!
It is simply a blatant provocation to the imperial order!
Caught off guard, Wessassin watched the sword edge fall against the tip of his nose, splitting the desk in half like cutting butter, and the overflowing steel fighting spirit tore the desk apart. Everything it came into contact with suddenly exploded into a firework of wood chips and confetti in mid-air!
"Catch him!!!" Baron Wessassin yelled!
The soldiers had all participated in previous wars. After a brief shock, they all came to their senses and pounced on Eric!
The first person is none other than the leader of Weisazin's personal soldiers and the second-level yellow sand knight Zhannings. He holds a scimitar in both hands, and the rolling yellow sand wraps around it like boiling. The yellow sand rushes under his feet and rushes forward. Get close, step forward, twist your waist and slash from right to left towards Eric's ribs!
But before the power of this sword could be fully released, the giant sword like a door panel in Eric's hand had already swung upwards, meeting the blade with its spine.
锔——
The friction between the steel and the yellow sand caused sparks all over the sky. Zhan Nings only felt that he was not struck by the sword, but hit a charging Kodo beast head-on. The scimitar in his hand was twisted into a twist in an instant, and he lost his hand. And fly!
The next moment, the giant sword hit his chest, and the enchanted plate armor groaned under the weight, deformed and dented, crushed his ribs, and smashed his whole body to the ground like a stone.
He struggled to support his body, with disbelief in his eyes. He pointed at Eric tremblingly, but he only spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground!
This tragic scene immediately stunned several knights around him. Zhannings has been immersed in the second level for more than ten years. Even if he has scruples because he does not want to destroy the castle, he should not lose like this. ah!
With this stunned effort, another knight was shot out by Eric and hit the other two like a bowling ball, turning the three of them into rolling gourds!
Suddenly, a chaotic black light flashed, and Baron Wessassin joined the battle group waving his enchanted sword!
The enchanted long sword is wrapped in chaotic void fighting energy, as if thousands of stars are rising and dying in it.
When Eric heard the sound of the wind, he drew his sword to block it, trying to block the blow. However, at this moment, the fighting energy on the long sword in Wesasin's hand began to pulse, surge, and boil, and then The entire sword body suddenly disappeared, leaving only a chaotic light.
The light passed through the giant sword on the door panel without any hindrance, and turned into reality again. The blade suddenly struck Eric's breastplate!
Combat skill, Void Slash!
It makes the weapon virtual and can bypass all visible and invisible obstacles in a short time!
When——
The sound like a bell echoed, and huge force was transmitted to Eric's feet, causing all the floor tiles within a few meters to roll over and turn into smoke and dust in the sky.
At Eric's chest, the chaotic void fighting spirit and steel fighting spirit intertwined, creating a strange scene. There was clearly a burst of light, but this light was extremely dim. It looked so... Untrue.
The sword blade slowly cut through Eric's breastplate, but at this moment, with Eric roaring wildly, fighting energy burst out all over his body, and the cut armors were bridged together, and the sword actually The blade is clamped firmly!
Eric raised his leg and kicked Weisazin's lower abdomen. Even though Weisazin had mobilized his fighting spirit to protect himself, he was not wearing armor after all. This kick dispersed his fighting spirit and almost sunk into his chest. In the belly!
Bang!
Weissasin hit the corner, holding his stomach, gasping for air, his eyes as stiff as dead fish, the severe pain made him unable to even scream!
Then his own sword rested at his throat.
The smoke gradually dispersed. Eric stared at Wessassin and said in a low voice: "I hope Baron Wessassin will consider Lord Raven's proposal again."
Weissachin slowly raised his head and looked at Eric with eyes filled with hatred.
He wanted to say a few harsh words, because he knew that Eric would never dare to kill him here, which would push Raven into the pit of fire, but thinking of the crazy way Eric acted brazenly before, he Don't dare to say a word more!
Eric is obviously at the second level, why is he so strong! ?
Of course Weisazin will not know this. This is because Raven has used the second-level magic core to strengthen Eric twice. Although his fighting spirit is only at the peak of the second-level, it is purely based on physical strength. , not inferior to any third-level extraordinary!
With a clang, Eric dropped the enchanted sword belonging to Wessassin and turned around to go out.
"Lord Baron, how are you?" A few Chaofan who were not seriously injured got up and immediately took out the healing potion and handed it to Weissasin.
A knight whispered: "He hasn't gone far yet. Do you want to order the army to lead him directly..."
As he said that, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"..." Wei Saxin drank the potion and thought for a moment: "No, let him go, go ask the priest to diagnose and treat Zhannings."
We Sa Xin, of course. Not letting it go, he stood up with the help of the knight and staggered towards his room.
Undoubtedly, being defeated by Eric in his own castle was a great shame for Wessassin, but it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
In the previous battle with the Order of the Death Hand, Raven gained a huge amount, and countless people in the entire Nord province were envious and jealous.
Now, by doing this, Eric is giving the handle to Wessazin.
He has made up his mind to draft a complaint tonight and set out early tomorrow morning to go to the Noble Council in Hovey City to file a serious complaint against Raven!
According to the laws of the empire, if you attack a noble without authorization, you will be deprived of your fiefdom and title at the least, and you will be hanged on the gallows at the worst!
If Raven doesn't want to end up like this, he must reach a settlement with him, and the conditions are—Xue Maple Territory is a good place!
Wesasin barely closed his eyes that night. All his energy was focused on writing the complaint. When the sky gradually became brighter, he took a breath of the complaint.
This is not just a complaint, but a check with no limit!
"Young people are young people." Vesassin sneered in a low voice: "It's time to teach you a lesson about nobility."
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door. It sounded: "Master Wessassin, something happened, something big happened!"
Weisazin frowned: "Why are you panic? Did Raven lead the army to attack?"
This thought-humorous sentence made the people outside the door even more panicked: "No, I...I said I don’t know, you’d better go to the hall and see for yourself!”
Before he reached the hall, Weisazin smelled the strong smell of blood, and when he actually walked into the hall, he was immediately stunned. In place!
I saw more than twenty huge heads in the originally neat hall.
The head of the war horse!
These heads piled up into a hill, and the top one was the head of his beloved horse, the first-order magic beast "Lizard Scale War Horse".
The blood has dried up, indicating that these heads have been piled in the hall all night!
The soldier explained on the side: "Master, we are really not lazy, we have been patrolling, but, we really didn't see anyone!"
Wesasin only He felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet, making him tremble all over.
His horses were all in the stables, under special care, but now they were killed silently.
This also means that Raven can kill him silently!
On the other hand, since he can have his men pretend to be horse thieves, Raven can also have his men pretend to be Death Hand cultists, completely ignoring his responsibilities.
If Wessazin repeatedly tested the boundaries of the law, then Raven stepped on the bottom line of the law and spat hard again!
Grabbing the prepared complaint in the palm of his hand, Void suffocated with vindictiveness, turning it into crumbs on the ground. Wesasin whispered: "Send a message to Motelang and ask him to evacuate immediately."
Motlan is the leader of that team of fake horse thieves.
After saying that, Wesasin turned his head. In the moment of turning around, his originally straight back became a little rickety: "Clean the hall."
The soldier nodded in agreement.
There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone such breaking news. So in just one day, the news spread throughout Xuefeng County.
This shows the strength of Raven and the power of the Griffith family, and also makes the nobles of Xuefeng Territory have to face the fact that the Griffith family has risen.
That’s why Baron Sereva had that attitude, and that’s why Knight Witte could only swallow his anger.
When the news reached Meng En City and reached Earl Tyrone's desk, he examined it and said only one sentence:
"From this claw, I saw a male lion."
