However, Zhao Hai didn't go to save Ryan right now. He didn't want to expose his strength too early. Looking at these people, Zhao Hai knew that they wanted to use Ryan to threaten him. Ryan should be fine for now.
The attacks of the mercenaries were very fierce. Moreover, it can be seen that they often acted together and coordinated very well. Most importantly, from the methods of these mercenaries, it seems like they were real mercenaries and not regular soldiers.
Regular soldiers and mercenaries were two different things. Soldiers generally fought on the battlefield, so their fighting style was very special. They used the weapons in their hands to kill the enemy as quickly as possible.
But mercenaries were different. Mercenaries generally didn't go to the battlefield, so their enemies weren't all humans. Because of this, they would use all means to deal with their enemies. Even if they couldn't kill them, they would at least injure them.
Zhao Hai looked at the mercenaries and couldn't help but feel anxious. He didn't want to be entangled with these mercenaries for too long, so he and Meg immediately used magic to attack.
This time, Zhao Hai used wind element magic. Wind element magic was very fast, and it was very powerful in this small space. Meg also happened to be a wind element mage, so naturally she would use wind element magic to attack. Since Shun couldn't go to Ryan's side, he naturally joined in the fight.
At this time, Zhao Hai knew how fierce Shun was. Just like what Shue said, Shun was really worthy of being called an eight-armed demon. He threw out hidden weapons one after another. Zhao Hai didn't know how many hidden weapons he had on him. In short, there was no end to them. Moreover, his hidden weapons were poisoned, causing the mercenaries to be tired of dealing with them.
With the help of Zhao Hai and Meg, the number of injured mercenaries slowly increased. When the leader saw the situation, he immediately called out, "Retreat." Then he led the mercenaries away.
In just a blink of an eye, the mercenaries in the dining hall had all retreated. Aside from some broken tables and chairs, as well as Shun's hidden weapons, there was nothing else on the floor.
At this time, the waiter who was hiding outside the door came in, trembling with fear. When he saw the situation inside the restaurant, his face turned gloomy. Shun wanted to see Ruyen's situation, but Zhao Hai stopped him and said, "You don't need to see her, she was taken away. The guards are all dead. Come over and clean this place up. Don't worry, I'll compensate you. Right, remember to bury the guards, I'll pay you separately." Shun nodded and said, "Don't worry.
When the waiter heard Zhao Hai, his expression became better. He immediately nodded and started to clean up. But Shun stopped him, he had to retrieve his hidden weapons first, otherwise they would hurt the waiter.
This was the first time that Zhao Hai and the others saw Shun retrieving his hidden weapons, so they were very curious. They saw Shun take out a few stones and put them on the ground. Then he walked back and forth a few times before the hidden weapons were collected by him.
When Zhao Hai saw this, he understood that Shun had something like a magnet in his hand. Because of this, he was able to collect the hidden weapons so quickly. Moreover, Zhao Hai also noticed that Shun was wearing a pair of leather gloves. The leather gloves were tightly attached to Shun's skin, looking very flexible.
No wonder Shun's hidden weapons were poisonous, but he wasn't afraid of getting hurt. It turned out that it was because of the gloves.
However, Zhao Hai didn't ask too much. Seeing that Shun was done, the group went back to their room. At the same time, they told the waiter to bring the dishes they ordered to their room. At the same time, they gave the waiter a silver coin as a tip, making the waiter happy.
Zhao Hai first looked at the guards who were killed. Their injuries were very simple, they didn't seem to have any resistance. They were all killed with a single stab. Moreover, when they were killed, they were eating.
Shue and Shun also looked at the scene. After some time, Shun said, "Young Master, they seem to have been poisoned before they were killed."
Shue nodded, "We only used ordinary daggers to kill them, nothing special."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned his head to Shun and said, "See if there's any poison in their food."
Shun nodded, then he looked at the food that had yet to be removed. After some time, he shook his head and said, "Young Master, there isn't any poison in the food. It should have been poisoned somewhere else. The poison that they were poisoned with wasn't anything special, it was just a poison that makes people faint for a short time. It might be because they were unconscious for a short time that the mercenaries killed them."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he asked Cai 'er about the situation. But Cai' er said that the mercenaries were already out of her monitoring range. This was beyond Zhao Hai's expectations.
When the group returned to their room, Laura calmly said, "Brother Hai, do you think that this matter was done by Grand Duke Lionheart?"
Zhao Hai nodded, "It must be. We don't have any enmity with anyone in the Rosen Empire, so it must be Lionheart. But I didn't think that he would have such means."
Shue replied, "Young Master, this isn't strange. Those Grand Dukes have their own mercenary regiments. Although these mercenary regiments usually do their jobs like ordinary mercenaries, as long as the Grand Duke gives an order, they would immediately go on duty. These people might be Grand Duke Lionheart's mercenary regiments."
Zhao Hai nodded. At this time, Meg anxiously said, "Young Master, should we go and look for Princess Ruyen? If she fell into the hands of those people, what would we do if something happened to her?"
Zhao Hai nodded and released a hawk. He handed the Ghost Staff over to the hawk and had the hawk look for Ruyen. The small town that they were in wasn't big, it could only house 50 thousand people at most. The hawk looked around and found that the mercenaries had already left the town.
The hawk then flew towards the outside of the city. Zhao Hai had the hawk fly straight towards Carson City. He believed that the mercenaries would certainly bring Ruyen and the others to Carson City. Moreover, they were injured, so they wouldn't be able to go far.
Sure enough, as Zhao Hai expected, the mercenaries seemed to be well prepared. They had prepared ten large carriages and were now rushing towards Carson City. Zhao Hai immediately led Laura and the others to the Space. Then he retrieved the Ghost Staff and sent it to the hotel. Then he appeared in front of the mercenaries and waited for them.
The mercenaries knew that this time, they would be hard to deal with. Therefore, they wanted to quickly move forward and find more helpers to deal with Zhao Hai's group.
While they were on their way, the road in front of them was suddenly blocked by two Stone Giants. These two giants were over seven meters tall, and when they stood on the road, they gave off a very strong sense of oppression.
When the mercenaries saw the two Stone Giants, they knew that Zhao Hai had arrived. According to the information they received, Zhao Hai was a three-element mage. Therefore, they immediately stopped and had several mercenaries bring Ruyen and the others over.
The leader of the mercenaries who wanted to touch Laura's face looked at Zhao Hai who wasn't far behind the Stone Giants and said, "Wales, you should obediently surrender. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite. Is this the Purcell Duchy's Princess? Are you also from the Purcell Duchy? If something happens to the Princess, wouldn't you be in trouble? "
Zhao Hai looked at the mercenary and faintly smiled, "It seems like you've investigated me? Did you find out that I don't have any relatives in the Purcell Duchy? This time, I came to Rosen Empire to settle down here. I don't intend to return to the Purcell Duchy. Even if you kill the Princess, nothing will happen to me. The Purcell Duchy is just a small Duchy, it's impossible for them to reach their hands into Rosen Empire. You want to use the Princess to threaten me? Hahahaha, too ridiculous. "
The leader stared, then his complexion changed. He didn't think that Zhao Hai would be this ruthless. He didn't care about Ruyen's life or death. The leader didn't know if Zhao Hai was telling the truth, or if he was just bluffing them, so he immediately said, "Don't lie to me, obediently surrender. Otherwise, I'll kill them right now."
Zhao Hai calmly replied, "You can kill her, I won't stop you. I've been annoyed by the princess these past few days, so if you kill her, I'll be able to relax. However, I promised the Purcell Grand Duke that I would send her to Carson City. If you kill her, then you will break my promise to the Grand Duke. I won't forgive people who break my promise, so all of you will die. Not only will I kill you, I'll also find a Dark Mage and turn you into advanced level undead. Then I'll ask where your family is, I'll bury your entire family!"
Listening to Zhao Hai's cold voice, the mercenaries couldn't help but shiver. They didn't doubt Zhao Hai's words. Some people were like this, they would never be threatened. If you dare threaten them, then they would fight to the death. These mercenaries didn't want to meet such people, because they were much more ruthless than mercenaries.
The mercenaries looked at each other, they didn't know what to do. If they couldn't beat Zhao Hai, then threatening him with hostages wouldn't work either. Just as they didn't know what to do, Zhao Hai's mind suddenly moved. Four viper-like vines drilled out from under the four mercenaries who were holding Ruyen. The four mercenaries were killed by the vines, while Ruyen and the others fell to the ground.
At this time, the mercenaries reacted, but the ground where Ruyen and the others were standing sunk down, wrapping them inside. The mercenaries couldn't grab anything. Then the Stone Golems immediately launched their attack. At the same time, Zhao Hai's magic rained down on the mercenaries. The mercenaries didn't have any chance to resist and were immediately killed. At this time, the ground in front of Zhao Hai fluctuated as Ruyen and the others appeared.
Zhao Hai deliberately said those words in order to make the mercenaries lose their minds. Once they lost their minds, Zhao Hai immediately launched his attack. First, Cai 'er used vines to kill the mercenaries. Then she used earth magic to transport Ruyen and the others to Zhao Hai. This way, Ruyen and the others wouldn't be injured.
Regarding these 100 mercenaries, Zhao Hai didn't even bother to turn them into undead. These mercenaries were too ruthless. In Zhao Hai's opinion, turning them into undead was already letting them off lightly. Instead, he directly killed them.
After killing the mercenaries, Zhao Hai didn't care about the carriages that the mercenaries drove. He directly returned to the hotel and took Ruyen and the others to their rooms.
Ruyen and the others were the same as the guards, they were also poisoned and were currently unconscious. But since they were people with some status, they didn't kill them and just left them behind.
When Zhao Hai and the others returned to their rooms, a knock was heard on the door. Shue immediately grabbed his axe and said, "Who is it?"
A waiter's voice was heard from outside the door, "Guests, we're here to deliver your meal. The meal you ordered has already been prepared."
Shue looked at Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai nodded. Shue then opened the door. The waiter bowed to Shue and then walked in with a group of people following behind him. Two of these people were carrying tables, some were carrying chairs, and some were pushing food carts with covered plates.
When these people entered the room, they immediately got busy. Looking at their appearance, it can be seen that they were trained. They placed the table and chairs on the table before they withdrew. Zhao Hai had Shue give them a tip before the group sat down.
Zhao Hai looked at the group and smiled. "Let's eat. It's really not easy to eat a meal. There are so many things that have happened."
Laura and the others smiled. To be honest, this attack was already within their expectations. But they didn't think that the enemy would be this ruthless, killing all of the guards.
It was precisely because of this that the mood of the group was somewhat heavy. Zhao Hai also saw this point, so when he said this, his mood became a lot more cheerful.
Zhao Hai had just put a fork into his mouth when a prompt was heard from the Space, "Toxic substance has entered the host's body. Toxin content is very light, it can cause a person to faint for a short time. Because the host has been consuming Spatial Water for a long time, the host is now immune to the toxin. There is no need to drink the Spatial Water to detoxify the poison."
Zhao Hai stared, then his expression changed, he looked up and said, "Stop, everyone, don't eat. These things are poisonous, it seems like there's a problem with the store."
Laura and the others stared, they didn't think that the store would have a problem. The group quickly put down their knives and forks. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "How can there be a problem with the store? Even if Grand Duke Lionheart knew that we were going to rest in the city, why would he know that we're resting in the store? What's going on? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It seems like we underestimated the Grand Duke's strength. Hehe, I didn't think that those mercenaries were actually here to attract our attention."
