Tang En thought about what to do next as he walked with Fiona to the Lord's Mansion.
As he thought, after sitting in the position of the Lord, the two things that he had to solve immediately were the security of Ellington and the food problem of the residents.
However, to solve the food problem, he needed to observe the agricultural situation of Prandal and come up with a solution. This was not something that could be solved in a day or two. Before the improvement of agriculture, the food problem could be temporarily purchased from outside to fill the gap, so it was not very urgent.
Before that, the security problem was more important and easier to deal with. After dealing with Hogg, he could take control of the militia of Ellington and take them out to suppress the bandits.
At the same time, he could also hone their cooperation.
Outside the Lord's Mansion, Tang En raised the corner of his mouth. The residents of Ellington were very poor and most of the houses were still leaking. However, the Lord's Mansion in Ellington looked very imposing. It did not look like a building that should appear in Ellington – it was completely different from the surrounding style.
Tang En said to the guard: "Please help me to inform the new Lord, Tang En and Fiona have been invited to attend the banquet and complete the transfer of power."
Fiona leaned forward and whispered: "My Lord, there is no need to be so polite to this guy, right?"
Fiona recognized that this guard was the one who looked at her with a lecherous look and wanted to make a move on her. She was holding back her anger.
Tang En shook his head and said in a low voice, "You have to know that as a person, you have to be cautious and keep a low profile. Nowadays, many people like to pretend to be pigs to eat tigers. If Hogg has a hidden master under him, then we will be in danger."
Fiona's eyes widened: "My Lord, are you sure you are not talking about yourself!?"
The guard's eyes looked at Fiona and fell on Tang En. He said in a strange tone: "Invitation? Why haven't I heard the Lord mention it? Are you two lowly people trying to sneak into the Lord's Mansion? Speak! What are your intentions!? "
The guard said and pulled out his weapon.
"How dare you!"
Fiona was so angry that she raised her eyebrows. "The person in front of you is Tang En! The Lord of Ellington! "
"I only know that Sir Hogg is a Lord. How dare a lowly commoner like you pretend to be a Lord? Go to hell!"
The guard roared and swung his weapon directly at Tang En!
Were their brains filled with sh * t?
Tang En gently raised his hand and pinched the long sword. After seizing the long sword, he didn't wait for the guard to speak and killed him with a backhand slash!
Fiona was stunned when she saw her blood boiling. "My Lord, didn't you say to keep a low profile?"
"Hmm?"
Tang En shook off the blood on his sword and paused for a moment. "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Although Fiona didn't know why Tang En changed his mind so quickly, she was very happy that Tang En killed this hateful guy.
"Who is it?"
The commotion at the gate attracted the attention of the private soldiers. A moment later, a large group of private soldiers appeared and surrounded Tang En and Fiona. After seeing the corpse on the ground, the private soldiers stared at Tang En like hungry wolves, filled with murderous intent.
Overlord's Mansion, by the window on the second floor.
"Say, do you think they can kill this guy? His strength is unexpectedly strong. "
Hogg narrowed his eyes. If these people can kill off Tang En, then that would be the best case scenario. If they can't kill off Tang En, then they can only use the second method.
"I don't know."
A man next to Hogg shook his head: "Although he is an alchemist, according to the investigation, he only used Fireball. We don't have enough information, so we can't tell what his strength is. On the contrary, his brute force is quite big."
"Brute force? The same as Elsa's monstrous strength? "
Hogg's face darkened, but he quickly smiled. "Even if he has monstrous strength, so what? With your help, won't a wild sorcerer with monstrous strength be easily captured? "
"Of course!"
The man said proudly. "I, Jordan, am a bronze-level rank-3 warrior! He's just an Alchemist who only knows how to cast Fireball. At best, he's just a Dark Iron Mage. How could he possibly be my opponent?
"But to be on the safe side, I have prepared other measures …"
Hogg revealed a sinister smile and whispered to Jordon.
At this moment, the atmosphere outside was on the verge of exploding.
"How dare you cause trouble in the Overlord's Mansion and kill our people. Prepare to pay with your lives!"
The leader of the private soldiers finished speaking and waved his hand. "Kill the man! Capture the woman alive! "
"You should have done this long ago!"
"Haha! Leave the woman to me! "
A group of private soldiers shouted and rushed over.
"Father!"
From afar, Elsa looked at Abedon anxiously, wanting to help.
"Don't worry."
Abedon stopped Elsa. "He won't be in danger."
"But …"
"Don't worry, I have a feeling that he will become the Overlord of Ellington."
The private soldiers blocked the road and stared greedily at Tang En.
"Everyone, attack together! Even if he's an iron-level sorcerer, he can't hold off so many people! "
"Kill him! What are you afraid of? Kill him! That woman will be ours! "
"Everyone, attack together!"
"Where are the archers?! Shoot! Shoot! "
Seeing the private soldiers swarming forward, Tang En revealed an elegant smile. "How naive …"
This bunch of trash, living is a waste of land and air … Let them die.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Tang En waved his hand and a series of fireballs appeared out of thin air.
"Oh no! Kill him quickly! "
The fireballs locked onto their targets one by one and burned them to ashes before they could react.
With Tang En's strength, fireballs were enough to deal with these guys.
Tang En mercilessly killed his way in. These people ignored the bandits robbing Ellington and did not lend a helping hand at all. They deserved to die!
After a short while, the private soldiers of the Overlord's Residence were all dead or injured and turned to dust.
The remaining private soldiers trembled and could not even stand properly.
"So, so powerful!"
In the distance, Elsa looked at Tang En in shock. Although she was saved by Tang En earlier, Elsa did not see how Tang En killed the enemy. Only now did she realize that Tang En was actually so powerful!
"Yes …"
Abedon nodded in agreement. "It's not just his spells … Didn't you notice that when he was moving forward, his footsteps were constantly avoiding the arrows and surrounding attacks? I dare say that his close combat skills are also very strong. "
"What are you doing!"
At this time, Hogg's butler suddenly walked out of the Overlord's Residence and shouted, "Tang En is the Overlord's guest. How can you attack a guest!? Stop what you're doing! "
The private soldiers were about to cry. Now it was not a matter of whether they stopped or not, but whether the other party would let them go.
Tang En looked at the butler and showed a meaningful smile.
Of course, he could see that the butler came out to protect the private soldiers, but this was exactly what Tang En wanted.
These private soldiers could not be killed, especially the captain. He still had things to ask them later.
Tang En asked, "Is this how Baron Hogg treats his guests?"
The butler frowned slightly. He noticed that Tang En called Hogg by his title. Was he hinting at his identity as the Overlord? But …
"Master is the Overlord of this land. In this land, everything belongs to Lord Hogg. How he treats his guests is not up to others to criticize."
The butler turned around and said indifferently, "Come in. The Overlord has been waiting for you for a long time."
Fiona muttered, "So many people died and this guy is still so arrogant."
"That's because in his eyes, these private soldiers are expendable. If they die, then they die."
Tang En said with a sarcastic face. "And you don't think that guy is really going to treat us to a banquet, do you?"
"Of course not."
"So, be careful. Act according to my mood – my face is not dark, right?"
Fiona froze for a moment. "Of course not. Why do you ask?"
"To confirm that you can see clearly."
Compared to the outside, the interior of the Overlord's Mansion was more luxurious. The huge magic crystal lamp emitted a dazzling light. The marble floor was so shiny that it could reflect one's reflection. Tang En looked down and then looked up regretfully – Fiona's Krinolin-style dress completely covered the beautiful scenery.
Soon, Tang En and the others followed the butler to the banquet hall.
"Welcome, welcome!"
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Hogg greeted them with a big smile. "As the Overlord of Ellington, this Baron really did not expect that my territory would welcome two distinguished guests."
Fiona's face was unfriendly. "I don't think any noble would use weapons to welcome his guests!"
"Misunderstanding! Purely a misunderstanding! "
Hogg waved his hand with a smile on his face. "I have already given the order. But there may be some mistake in the transmission of the message – you know, word of mouth is always easy to misunderstand."
Who are you trying to fool!
How can you misunderstand "inviting guests" as "killing guests"!?
