[Did everyone eat glutinous rice balls during the lantern festival today? Ha, I took my children to the lanterns. I wish everyone a happy holiday!]
There were a total of thirteen dead men in the hall.
Even if he were to be thrown into the Black Wolf Army, he would still be able to fight against a hundred experts. The weakest among them was thirteen or fourteen times, and the leader was even at Level 23. However, what was terrifying about these people was not their level, but their ice-cold hearts to die.
Qiao Mo swept his gaze across them one by one and said indifferently, "You should know that when you were transferred out of the Black Wolf Army, there was no chance of you going back."
The leader was tall, with broad shoulders and long hands, but his face was yellow and he looked malnourished. However, it didn't give off a feeling of illness. Instead, the figure standing in the hall would occasionally blur for a moment. If an expert wanted to lock onto his position, he would definitely feel that it would be difficult for him to do so. Hearing this, the corner of the man's mouth curled up into an arc. "Death warriors should die. Why would they join our Black Wolf Army if they were afraid of death? Lord Qiao Mo doesn't need to say anything else. Just tell us who to kill. "
The man looked around and revealed his white teeth. "All of us have received great kindness from Marshal Roderick. It's worth it to be able to repay him with our lives."
"From now on, you are number one. The others can be number two to thirteen." Qiao Mo walked to the window and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance. "I know you are ready to die, but there are some things I have to tell you."
"This time, I was entrusted by the First Prince to come to Spear City to attend the ceremony. First, it was to give Hoey some face, and second, it was to see the young man who was already in the center of the eye of the storm. The former was for His Highness Howson, and the latter was for Lord Roderick. " Qiao Mo said in a deep voice, "My lord gave him a chance to choose, and I want to see how he chooses." My lord once said that if this person agreed immediately, he would take him back and raise him as a dog. If he hesitated for a few days before accepting or rejecting, it would mean that this person's will was not strong and he would not be able to accomplish great things. Let him go. "
Number One revealed his white teeth and smiled, "Looks like that fellow chose an answer that gave both of them a headache."
"That's right, he refused on the spot. There was no hesitation, nor was there any fluctuation in his emotions. He was as calm as if he was saying an answer that he had thought of long ago. " Jomo turned around and shook his head. "Lord Roderick said that if he has the third reaction, then he can't be left alive. If such a person were to arrive at the Imperial Capital, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the delicate balance in Olisgary. With such a variable appearing, the cards in Lord Roderick's hand won't be so easy to play. "
"So, tonight's operation?"
Jomo nodded. "It has to be tonight. This Viscount Allen has about a hundred guards in his hands. If we let him leave Spear City, it will instead become more difficult for us to deal with him. "
Number One frowned, "But under Hoey's nose …"
"It doesn't matter. What we want is to surprise them. They would never have thought that you would dare to kill people in Spear City. As for becoming enemies with Hoey, there's no need for you to worry about it. After this, I will push all the blame away. After all, you are already dead now. Moreover, it's time to give this spear a warning … "
Number One laughed, "That's enough, my lord. We'll never see each other again."
With a wave of his hand, the thirteen of them left the hall like a tide. Qiao Mo narrowed his eyes and looked out of the window, but it was as if he could smell the aura of death assaulting his face.
Dusk.
Edward came to a street-facing restaurant in Spear City. The restaurant itself wasn't very famous, and its location was remote, so there weren't many guests eating inside. However, due to the recent wedding in Orlando, the number of people in Yedega had increased sharply. Even this kind of second-rate and third-rate restaurant had increased. Although it wasn't to the point where there were no empty seats, there weren't many empty tables and chairs.
Allen had already booked a private room on the third floor. After reporting his name, a waiter would naturally bring Edward to the room.
Pushing open the door of the private room, there was only one table and four chairs in the small room of more than ten square meters, but only Allen was seated. Seeing Edward arrive, he waved his hand and smiled at the waiter, "You can serve the dishes now."
Closing the door, Edward took off his coat and sat down. He first poured himself a cup of water and drank a mouthful before saying, "I got Dark Blade to investigate. When that old black fox entered the city, there was a group of people with extraordinary skills by his side. They should be the so-called mad dogs that Kao mentioned. However, there was no news of these people after entering the city. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, and this was Iron Spear's place, so I didn't dare to let Dark Blade dig deeper. "
"You can't dig it out, right?" Allen smiled and said, "After all, our Dark Blade is a rookie. How can it be so easy to dig out information? Let me guess, since Qiao Mo is the chief of staff of the Black Wolf Army, those experts in the army are naturally also figures from the Black Wolf Army. "
"What's there to guess …" Edward rolled his eyes at him.
There was a knock on the door, and the waiter pushed the dining cart in. He served the exquisite dishes and poured wine for the two of them before leaving with a smile.
"Let's talk while we eat." Allen didn't stand on ceremony and directly started eating a peppermint fried lamb chop. He sent a small piece into his mouth and chewed until the meat juice overflowed. He nodded and said, "The taste is not bad. Since you said that there's nothing to guess about the identities of those experts in the army, why don't you guess when these mad dogs will make their move? "
"They definitely won't wait for you to swagger in front of the Northern Capital's gate before they make their move." Edward said indifferently.
"Nonsense."
"Alright, I guess when we leave Iron Spear Ridge, we will be able to experience the Black Wolf Army's combat strength." Edward said casually.
Allen laughed, "Tell me how many of these experts are there first?"
"Eleven or twelve? In short, there won't be too many. Otherwise, it will attract too much attention. "
"That's right." Allen cut off a piece of lamb chop with a knife and said, "There are only so many people. It's not enough for us to divide."
Edward smiled and said, "If others hear what you said, they will definitely be angered to death."
"However, this is the truth." Allen shrugged.
Of course, this was the truth, not to mention the strength of the hundred-man guard. Allen was definitely one of the experts who could be picked up from the north team. Then there were Lola, Regis, Lucy, Adele, and the five Azure Dragon Knight. That was ten people. As for Edward, the number of times he made a move could be counted on one hand, and he could barely be considered half a person. Therefore, the Black Wolf Army sent out eleven or twelve experts. Unless there was a general-level figure among them, it would really be as Allen had said.
Not enough!
Moreover, as far as Allen was concerned, if he didn't have any special abilities, he could sweep through all experts below the Count's combat strength by himself. Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, even if Qiao Mo and the other mad dogs were released, they wouldn't be a threat at all. Instead, they would only encourage Allen to head north.
Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "Things probably won't be that simple. If that's the case, then Black Fox and Roderick will be too easy to deal with."
"Isn't that good? I'd rather the enemy be stupid, even more stupid. "
"But that won't be the case." Edward thought for a moment and said, "If I were Jomo, I would have to seize an unexpected opportunity to make a move. Only then would I be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack."
Allen said casually, "That's simple. Maybe they'll make a move tonight. We definitely won't expect to make a move in Spear City … Why are you looking at me like that? "
"Don't tell me you think that Qiao Mo is really planning to make a move in Spear City?" Allen was finally shocked.
Edward crossed his fingers and said, "It's not impossible, because it's an opportunity that ordinary people would never think of." It's hard to say for others, but if it's an imperial marshal, I think he still dares to use such a trick. "Not only can it surprise us, but it can also give Hoey and even our Second Prince face in the imperial capital."
"Looks like I really have a crow's mouth." Allen shook his head and said.
Edward smiled faintly and said, "I don't think so. I think you have no intention of revealing Qiao Mo's plan. I think the general trend is in your favor."
"Who cares if it's big or small." Allen ate the lamb chop in one bite and patted his stomach, "As long as Jomo dares to deliver it to me, I will dare to eat it. Just treat it as an appetizer."
"That's right, that's what I want."
Allen laughed and tilted his head to look at Edward. "Tell me, what reward do you want when I get a grand duke? I probably can't ask for a marquis, but a count can. Otherwise, I'll give you a count? "
"Should I remind you not to be too complacent? You haven't even taken a step out of the Southern Region, and you're already busy rewarding me based on merit?" Edward shook his head and smiled. With a solemn expression, he added, "Besides, the Count and the Baron don't mean much to me. What I want … "
He suddenly stopped.
"Go on, go on."
"What are you talking about? It's still too early to talk about this. Don't worry, if I think the time is right, I will ask you for it. I'm afraid you won't agree, or dare not agree? "
Allen muttered, "Then should I just reject you now, lest you blackmail me again in the future?"
"A man who wants to pull the emperor off the throne is only this much?"
"Don't set me up, brat. I won't be tricked by you. Also, don't say such things carelessly in the future. Do you know what it means to be careful? "
After dinner, the two of them left the restaurant. The sky was already full of stars. Allen kicked Edward, "Come back with me?"
"Can I leave Sean and the others alone? I have to make some arrangements. Besides, didn't you say that those people aren't enough? I won't join in. " Edward looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Actually, the safest way is to remind our Marquis of Iron Spear."
"How do I remind him that Jomo is going to send someone to kill me tonight and that Lord Hoey will save me?" Allen shook his head and said, "Don't forget, this is just our own guess. Maybe that black beaver is really as timid as a mouse and doesn't dare to make a move. Aren't we the villains? "
