Chapter 88 – The Power of Blight
“Suddenly, I have some regrets about not listening to Brother Goat.”
Mr. Xia muttered to himself as he vanished into thin air.
He couldn’t understand what Todd was saying at all.
Too bad the brothers couldn’t pick him up at this distance.
Todd was relieved to see his opponent disappear.
Where before he had felt fear, now he only felt inexplicably safe.
Ravan, who was standing not far away, was dumbfounded.
He wanted to come up and yank Todd when he saw him being so reckless, but who knew that things would develop so quickly ……
Inexplicably fell two guards, and an elf ……
That was an elf!
And what was that flash of red hood?
“What are you still looking at, come and give us a hand!”
Todd called in a lowered voice, dragging the guard through the door.
Lavan hesitated for a split second, but ran over for the sake of the silver coin.
The money wasn’t there yet, but if he didn’t help he might not get the chance.
There weren’t many people coming and going, so they didn’t see the two men quickly deal with the scene.
Seeing Todd turn to walk inside the courtyard, Ravan couldn’t help but call him to a halt.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to tear the hypocritical faces of those elves!”
……
Inside Lord Jones’ parlor.
Despite the fact that the conversation was interrupted by the guards who had just ventured out, the atmosphere had returned to normal by now.
The elf in the lead, Mace, held her chin high and frowned, ”You actually want to collect rent? This is a team from the Court of Emerald Leaves, approximately equivalent to a garrison assisting in defense, and we didn’t even mention the hiring fee.”
Jones wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile piled on his face:
“Ms. Mais, it’s like this, on the one hand the farm had a poor grain harvest last year, on the other hand our own armament is enough to deal with the magical beasts in winter, it’s really ……”
“That’s the past, the future is not easy to say.”
Another elf interjected, “Have you guys considered encountering blight beasts in the future?”
“What?”
Appalledness rose to Jones’ face.
He had heard of the Blight Beasts, the creatures that fought the armies of the Night Elves close to the Blight Trail.
“How did the Blight Beasts get to this place?”
Mace droned, “Watch your words! Humans! It is out of a noble sense of justice and mission that the Silver Folk are trying to contain the spread of the Blight Scars, that is not our obligation!
“Without the sacrifices of our compatriots, would you have had the chance to live a life of abundance and comfort in the rear?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I am ashamed of my words and actions ……”
Jones bowed his head in shame.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of noise from outside.
Then two thuds, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
Thud.
The door was pushed open and Todd appeared in the doorway.
At a glance, he saw Mace and the elf standing behind her.
“It’s you guys!?”
Todd was surprised.
He had seen them both, memorized their faces to be exact.
When the elves had first appeared pushing crossbow carts, five men had stood around each cart.
He had watched from the floating city with uncanny clarity.
When the red-hooded skeletal wanderer maneuvered the crossbow carts and shot three of the elves to death, the remaining two were stunned for a few seconds before turning tail and fleeing.
It was these two people in front of him!
Just thinking about that scene Todd was trembling with anger and his hands went cold.
“Todd???”
Jones rose in shock.
The destruction of the Roaring Mercenaries was a secret, but that was for others.
The attack on the Gitler estate was a commission he had placed in conjunction with others.
Wasn’t it agreed that the whole army would be wiped out?
But Todd ……
He then thought of the scene just now and immediately said seriously:
“Could it be that you were the one who let the guards in to babble just now?”
Todd said sharply, “Uncle Jones, that wasn’t gibberish, these two elves in front of me are liars, they are deserters from the Cui Ye Court!
“Cui Ye Ting has been destroyed, it was the Nyss from the north who did it in their floating… floating city, and Silverwing was taken!”
The two elves had colored, only Jones had an iron face.
“Nonsense! Do you even know what you’re talking about? And what floating city, and which drunken mercenary are you listening to talking nonsense …… Someone, take him out!”
“Lord!”
Todd was on the verge of crying. “I didn’t make up the floating city, it’s real, pitch-black iron box the size of your manor, flying right through the sky.
“The elves’ arrows couldn’t do a thing with it, and they finally had to move their crossbows, but the crossbows were quickly disintegrated as well.
“The two of them, yes, the two of them were the ones who protected the crossbow cart, but when their teammates died, they became deserters, and shame on them!”
The more Rose heard, the more alarmed she became, she and her companion exchanged glances and even made plans to run away.
But who knew that a burst of laughter could be heard immediately afterward.
The lord’s ironic face was the others around him laughing.
They were watching Jones’ joke.
“A steel box flying in the sky? The manor is so big? What makes it fly up there, and Todd where did you see it?”
“Yeah Todd, is this the killer weapon of your Roaring Mercenaries?”
“Bought that new thing from the Lion King Trading House? It cost a lot of money, didn’t it hahaha ……”
The laughter grew louder and Todd’s face turned red.
Anger made him feel real cold in his hands and feet.
But the blood was rising.
None of them believed themselves, just like they did when they first saw the floating city.
He hated to tell them that the floating city was parked right next to the Gittil estate, and that the counselor named Heine was involved in all of this.
But he calmed down quickly.
Perhaps he had grown up a lot during this past ordeal.
One couldn’t say that on one’s own.
The Floating City was a secret.
He shouldn’t even know.
“Lord, do you not trust me either?” He asked in desperation.
For his part, Lord Jones had a complicated expression.
In fact he had heard of the floating city.
And from the moment he heard about the Northlanders, he believed the story.
At the moment those roars of laughter reminded him of himself.
The group had laughed at themselves the same way the day George had opened the Round Table.
He looked at Todd standing there and it was like seeing himself.
But the young man didn’t smile along as awkwardly as he did.
“Todd, that’s a great story, but don’t tell it again. Guards, take him down!”
It was all he could do.
This was the elf of the Court of Emerald Leaves.
Even if the Cui Ye Court was overthrown and these people were routed soldiers, it was not something they could mess with.
He wanted to leave it at that, but some people didn’t want to.
Mace, who was a Tier 3 Jungle School Tree Herder, grunted coldly and flicked a seed from her fingertips.
The seed stuck into the wooden floor as soon as it hit the ground and suddenly grew into a two-meter tall cannibal flower!
A dark red flower with fine teeth, flowing with fishy juice.
It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the stunned Todd!
However, just then, a yellow-green blade pierced the cannibal flower.
The latter instantly looked like a doll that had been stabbed with a leak and withered into a piece of skin in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the withered dagger’s “special attack” on the tree herder was as terrifying as it was, Mr. Xia was saddened in his heart.
My Sa alas ……
I am in the gaga mess kill, and where are you?
We agreed to be Treehugger Killers of the Week together?
…
“The power of withering!?”
Mace was shocked and bounced out of her chair.
She could really see that it was clearly the withering power that elves talked about!
Where did the Blight Beast come from?
Could it be that it wasn’t safe here either?
Before she could leave the table, a bony hand affectionately took hold of her neck, followed by another dagger resting on it.
With just an afterimage, Maez nearly fainted from the shock.
Undead!
That’s when her companion shrieked in alarm:
“Newborn? Captain Jianglu’s dagger, you …… you’re one of hers?”
Todd didn’t know why the two elves were frightened like this, but their words reminded him.
He immediately seized the opportunity and rebuked them bitterly:
“Yes, I’m the one sent by Captain Jiang Lu to deliver the message!
“You scum of the Emerald Leaf Court, deserters, you are the shame of the elves!
“Captain Jianglu has said that you must not be allowed to deceive the good people of the Makara Mountains!
“Lord, give the order to capture them! Their accomplices are already ambushed outside!”
Dumbfounded, Jones slumped in his chair.
Why have things come to this ……
That’s all for tonight, I’m going to continue to code, so I’ll get up and read it tomorrow!
