Chapter 98

"We don't have any extra swordsmen to go after, and those low-quality swordsmen who were used to procrastinate are probably dead... Well, let's talk about important things, Lord Lan Wei, how is your battle going?"

"The Excalibur has been damaged. It is my serious negligence. I will be willing to report this matter to the leader personally."

Bupo sat on the wooden chair in the study room, relying on the faint light flickering from the only candle in the study room, he watched Lan Wei, who was one meter away from him, kneeling on one foot, holding the sword that should have been praised by the swordsmen. At this moment, the Excalibur has faded away from its original luster, replaced by broken, decayed and useless scrap iron.

Looking at the huge wealth of the kingdom of swords for no more than a second, Bupo quickly retracted his gaze, supported his forehead with his palm, and thought about everything that happened in just a few minutes tonight despite feeling frustrated.

"Now is the time of war. At this time, a divine sword has even been broken. If it is passed on, it will definitely break our momentum. God loves to joke too much, doesn't it?"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report the enemy's intelligence."

Hearing Lan Wei's words, Bupo angrily raised his head and glared at the other party, and when he was about to speak to blame, the other party's identity emerged from his mind.

After a few seconds of grimness and thinking, he finally took a deep breath, held back the burning flames in his heart, straightened his upper body, and opened his eyes again to look at Lan Wei in front of him.

"Go ahead."

"The enemy is the deputy head of the mercenary group, but in essence the head of the group. He was originally a swordsman of our side. He is proficient in the sword skills of our country and can use "sword skills that we don't have". The weapons we use now are The magic sword that represents disaster."

"The mercenary group? A few unknown pawns have the ability to escape under your power... And that magician, are these people really just mercenaries?"

The content of this report made Bupo stretch out his hand to support his forehead again, and the foggy situation became more confusing after this report.

"Yes, this group has spread to the ears of many mercenaries. Among them, the members of this mercenary group are not only swordsmen, but also magicians, third-country mercenaries and other figures."

"The bastard group? It really is an organization without dignity."

Whether it is the kingdom of swords, the kingdom of magic, or the third country, there are so-called mercenaries, because such existences only need to pay for any dirty things, which is very convenient for some high-level people.

And there is also a competitive relationship among mercenaries, so identities from the same hometown will often gather to be hostile to others. At least among the mercenary groups that are known, there has never been a mercenary group mixed with swordsmen and magicians.

If someone else were to tell this information, Bupo would definitely keep smiling, and sneeringly deny this content in his heart. The problem is that it was said by Lan Wei himself, and with Lan Wei's identity, no matter how absurd it is, he must accept it.

"The head of that mercenary organization claims to be the 'deputy head', and the position of head in the organization is vacant. Not long ago, many people began to spread rumors that a head would be born within a hundred days."

"I've heard this before, because it's a common rumor among the three countries. It turns out that this rumor is about this bastard mercenary group."

"That deputy captain was once my student."

Bu Po didn't understand for a while, and stared at Lan Wei in place, until nearly five seconds later, he stopped being surprised, and tapped the side of the wooden chair with his fingers to make a "boom" sound.

"Being proficient in swordsmanship and possessing swordsmanship that we don't have, wielding the magic sword and your student——it's her."

As if the answer appeared in Unbroken's mind, the illusion of surprise just dissipated, and he quietly closed his eyes to settle the news.

"The trigger condition of the magic sword is that the user who must master the magic sword is injured, but as long as the blood is dripped on the opponent's magic sword, it will have an immediate and huge effect."

"It's said that the magic sword will corrode the owner's soul to the point where he can't even touch the blood? That guy has fallen from the arrogance of heaven to a devil... and the identity of the magician They must be close relatives of nobles, and it is definitely not a coincidence that these two people will cooperate. It seems that the mercenaries I have been ignoring are waiting for an "opportunity". If you want to formulate a policy, you must understand their goals and what the opportunity is waiting for."

"My lord, there is news that the Empiri family is actively collecting information on this mercenary group."

"It is necessary to visit for a short time, but there is one person who has not been dealt with before then, and I think it is almost time."

knock knock.

Just after Bupo's words fell, the sound of two fingers knocking on the wooden door of the study reached the ears of the two people in the study. Lan Wei first glanced at Bupo directly in front of him, and then saw the confident and calm smile, and automatically Go to the corner to make room for someone to enter.

"Come in."

When the person who came in entered the study, Bupo's smile became even brighter, as if the grief that had just been in deep distress was all false.

"I don't know why your lord called me here at this time?"

"We are of the same generation, and we are both monarchs. There is no need to pay special respects. Come, please sit here."

Pull out another wooden chair in the study from the wooden table, and let the "guest" who comes in sit directly opposite you.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I have been specially summoned at this time. Is there something wrong with the battle?"

"It's not really good, but it's not a disadvantage either. We're still in a stalemate. In fact, I came to you to tell you something and ask for your consent."

The monarch in front of him showed suspicion and puzzlement, and this appearance made Bupo's smile brighter and brighter.

"Yes, if it is where I can help, I will definitely use my full strength."

"Very good, I am very relieved. If I remember correctly, you should be the fifth generation in the family, right? The family is good at verbal communication strategies."

"Yes, although I am still immature, I am still trying to learn the mantle of the family."

Listening to the other party's response, Bupo happily nodded vigorously.

The heart is full of ridicule and contempt.

For this monarch at the bottom of the ranking, many people joked that he was the last generation in the family, and he would be swept away from the status of monarch in a short time, even if he really tried hard to regain the glory of the monarch, there is no heir, no predecessor Without any status, power or money left behind, without any special talents, only the title of the monarch is left on his head. Such a person will not have a chance in the end.

In Bupo's eyes, the monarch in front of him is just a useless existence that can disappear at any time.

"I will look forward to it. In fact, what I want to tell you is about a major event that happened just now. The divine sword that our Kingdom of Swords values ​​is damaged."

"what?"

He conveyed the news to the other party calmly and easily, but seemed to be sluggish without understanding, and even blurted out funny doubts in a funny way.

"We are currently in a war, and we don't have the slightest time to send troops to find out who "let them safely enter the capital of our kingdom of swords"."

After finishing speaking, Bupo patted the other person's shoulder lightly.

"So I hope to take your life to suppress this news that shakes our country."

"This, I, please investigate carefully, Your Majesty! This leaker is definitely not me!"

"I know, but due to limited time, we can only look for a monarch who has stayed in the country for a long time and has no military contribution, because such a person is the one who has the best chance of revealing our secrets, and even if he disappears, he will not There are losses."

"No, don't, my lord! I, I still have the ancestral property of the family. Our family was born from the civil strife and has continued to my generation. I can't just cut off the hope of inheriting it! Please, please don't kill me!"

"I understand."

He relaxed and patted the other person's shoulders that were trembling because he started to cry, and the unbreakable joyful emotions bloomed on his face without any concealment.

"So in addition to this, there is one more thing for you to bear, so as to reduce suspicion. Come in."

Following Bupo's soft cry, the monarch sitting on the wooden chair turned pale and trembled. When the handle of the wooden door was turned and opened again with a "click", his body jumped up in fright.

"Hello, two lords, hello, Lord Lan Wei."

Walking into the dark study room, he still maintains a dazzling and unrestrained face. His expression is full of elegance and naturalness that only aristocrats possess. Although the clothes on his body are all simple clothes that seem to be worn by ordinary people, the simple clothes do not have a trace of dirt and are clean. It's not like a civilian at all.

The expression on the face is calm and composed, and the basic smile on the etiquette makes it impossible to see what kind of mood he is emotionally.

"Bavi Noser, as a team member who went to the third country with me, I have something to ask you face to face. This question is important and serious, and it must be answered after careful thinking."

"The subordinate understands."

Noser knelt on the ground with smooth movements and waited for the next sentence.

And the appearance of Noser made the fidgety Monarch open his mouth, his eyes stared from both sides of Noser and Bupo, and his face was exposed with bewilderment and helplessness.

"Have you ever met this sovereign?"

"Yes, when the hostage team was first established, I was honored to meet it."

"Then when you came back from the Magic Kingdom, did he contact you? Did he secretly send you a private mission, appointing you to kill the hostage captain?"

The calm and usual words seemed to be slowed down, each sentence slowly echoed in the small study room, the faint light was blown by a breeze and kept flickering, and the darkness and light kept changing in the study room.

Noser's eyes were fixed on the monarch who was too pale to speak for nearly ten seconds, and he took a deep breath and said.

"Yes, he sent me on this mission, or my family's life would have been threatened."

"Fine, can I swear that's your only answer?"

"Yes, I swear by the glory of the swordsman, this is the only answer I, Bavi Noser."

"You, the lord of the fifth generation, have leaked the secrets of the fortress to the mercenary group and ambushed some of the guards outside the capital in my name. You also asked Noser to kill our precious swordsman Jieshi. Now witnesses admit it , and your status is precarious and full of motivation, so the case is closed here.”

"I don't have anything, I don't have anything, I didn't order it, I didn't do anything! My family has always been loyal to the kingdom of swords, please forgive me, my lord! I really didn't do these things, please be sure A detailed search proves my innocence!"

"Thank you for helping the country all the time, but now you have done these stupid things. I feel really sad. I hope you can denounce your sins in the future. Guards, take it down."

"No, stop, let go of your hands! Do you know who I am! I am one of the most powerful monarchs in this country, let me go quickly, I am really innocent!"

When Bupo made the declaration, the swordsman guarding the study immediately entered the study and pulled the crying and roaring monarch out of the room.

"No, let me go, it's not me, it's really not me, our family has worked so hard for the kingdom of swords, it's definitely not me!"

The wailing of pain and bullying could still be heard in the corridor, and the scream of death continued to resound throughout the fortress. It was not until the fortress was locked in the dungeon that the whole fortress returned to calm.

"Hehe, Noser has done a great job. The Kingdom of Swords must be proud of you. Now I have a mission for you."

"Yes!"

"I am willing to give you fifty swordsmen as subordinates to go to the battle site in the Ninth District, and I will write a letter to the general there."

"Excuse me, my lord, is this a chance for me?"

"I know that your dream is to become a monarch. You have also walked outside the Gathering God Forest. I believe that you understand the terrain and location, so yes, this is your chance. Are you afraid?"

"No, I am really happy! Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity."

"Come back to the fort tomorrow morning and prepare to meet your troops."

"Yes! I believe in the glory of the swordsman, and victory is definitely on our side!"

"Very well, I am looking forward to it very much, you go back and rest first."

"Yes!"

Norther, who usually only wore a polite smile, couldn't help showing a heartfelt and excited expression at this moment, turned around and quickly closed the wooden door, and quickly left the corridor in a small run.

"Hehe, it seems that he is really happy."

While talking without breaking the bank, he looked at Lan Wei in the corner, as if to ask for the other party's opinion.

"My lord, is this alright?"

"This is an agreement between me and Noser, and I will definitely abide by it."

"I mean he's obviously someone who can betray for a purpose."

"Master Lan Wei, I am the same about this."

Unscrupulous means, from a certain point of view, is a despicable means of abandoning the glory of the swordsman, but this does not mean that it is a mistake, on the contrary, it can also be said to be a wise action of the glory of the swordsman.

Of course, this is not to break one's own philosophy.

"I will let him go to the battlefield to give him a chance to gain glory. This is one of the agreements."

"Unfortunately, he succeeded?"

"Then at the end of the war, he is a monarch, a 'companion' who continues to struggle and drags others into hell, longing for greater glory."

Having said that, Bupo let out a soft "hehe" laugh.

"Your Majesty, what about tomorrow?"

He didn't stop Bupo from such a weird smile, just quietly waiting for opinions like a habit.

"Announce these things in the country on the streets and alleys of the capital. It is best to describe in detail the magicians who broke into our country, and the sinners of these things are even more important. But before releasing the news, I need to go to the Empiri family in person. .”

"Yes."

"I must find out what happened to that mercenary group."

Kaka.

Just as he was about to pick up the pen on the table and write a messenger letter, there were two knocks on the wooden door.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from a subordinate who claims to be the Empiri family outside."

"Come in and talk."

Click.

Without basic etiquette and actions, the wooden door opened directly and quickly. The swordsman who broke in had an anxious and nervous expression on his face. Sweat continued to slide down his cheeks like raindrops. The exhaustion caused by running all the way at the beginning.

"Speak quickly."

"Yes, Empiri heard that the eldest daughter of the family, Empirifengao, was kidnapped and taken away."

Hearing this news, Bupo squinted his eyes, and Lan Wei beside him also frowned.

"When is this news?"

"Yes, about four and ten minutes ago."

"It just so happens that we are fighting, Master Lan Wei, I will write the letter in the early morning, but before I finish writing, I have to go to the Empiri family in advance."
