Hobert laughed loudly twice. He had finally killed a Sequence 5!
But now was not the time to be happy. He saw some "villagers" in the village coming towards him.
In fact, when Hobert learned that the 'Disciplinary Knight' was running back, he had already guessed that there should be at least one mercenary squad in this village.
The first surprise attack, the 'Disciplinary Knight' would choose to flee immediately because he did not feel a life-threatening threat.
And he was also a Sequence 5. Looking at the entire Northern Continent, there are definitely no more than twenty mercenary squads with Sequence 5 as their captain.
Hobert guessed that it was his self-esteem that prevented him from asking his peers for help.
Hobert's second sneak attack injured the 'Disciplinary Knight', making him realize that he might die in Feynapotter.
So he rushed back, first to save his life, and second to design a trap with his peers to hunt down Hobert, who might launch a third surprise attack.
The 'Disciplinary Knight' is a hunter, and at the same time he is also prey. Hunters and prey always switch positions inadvertently.
Hobert had already guessed that he might set up a trap, so after his condition recovered slightly, he immediately launched a third attack, and finally succeeded at the last moment.
Hobert used the ability of the 'Spirit Wine Glass' to accelerate the analysis of Beyonder characteristics.
After obtaining the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Disciplinary Knight', Hobert noticed that the other party's bracelet was a bit special. When he took it in his hand, he felt that it should be a magical item.
Just after getting the spoils, the 'villagers' were only a few dozen meters away from Hobert.
Hobert smiled and waved to them, disappearing into the void.
The 'villagers' first looked around in surprise for a while. Seeing that Hobert had completely left, they came to the battlefield. One of them said, "It's Elvin! He...he's dead!"
The speaker was Terrence, the vice-captain of the 'Blizzard Squad'.
Their captain, Victor, looked at Elvin's body for a second or two and said, "Leave here immediately! Hobert killed Elvin just now, and Hobert also attacked the 'Cold Night Squad' in the early morning."
"Our information is wrong. Hobert is more powerful than we thought!"
...
Hobert returned to the Lord's Mansion, ordered Philip to find a tailor to make him a few cloaks, and then went back to catch up on sleep. He had originally planned to explore Full Moon Lake today.
But plans can't keep up with changes. He plans to have a good rest today and talk about it tomorrow.
Around the Lord's Mansion, there are still a large number of residents of the town.
When the strong young men of the town returned with excitement and told their families everything they saw last night, the residents did not believe it.
According to past experience, they had to stay halfway up the mountain for several days until the lord drove the monsters away with flames and traps before they could return home.
But the people who went out to support the Lord yesterday told them that the monsters in the town were all killed! The Lord even killed a monster leader!
This is unbelievable.
But when they saw the monster corpses placed outside the town like fish caught, they had to believe what the young and middle-aged men said.
At this time, some people remembered the Lord who was bathed in the holy light yesterday. Many people knelt and bowed in front of the Lord's Mansion before going down the mountain and returning to the town.
At noon, Hobert finally slept enough. He got up refreshed and found that his potion was almost completely digested.
Obviously, yesterday he became a 'lighthouse' and killed so many monsters, once again making the residents of the town recognize his identity as the lord and support him even more.
Leaving his bedroom, Hobert knocked on Fors's door, but there was no response. He originally thought that Fors had returned to Backlund, but he learned at lunch that she had not. Fors had gone to the town to see the monsters.
Just after taking a few bites, Fors also came back. It turned out that she had gone to draw the shapes of the monsters, preparing to use them as illustrations for her new book in the future.
Hobert glanced at Fors's paintings, which were quite vivid.
Then Hobert remembered who to ask about what these monsters were? Are there any spiritual materials on them?
Soon he thought of two people, one was Christian, and the other was Emlyn, the vampire from Backlund.
The former has the corresponding knowledge, while the latter is very familiar with drugs and should have a lot of knowledge about spiritual drugs and spiritual materials.
After thinking about it again, Hobert thought of a third person: Bishop Simpson.
In the end, Hobert decided to write a letter to Bishop Simpson. Although he had only met him once, he could use him to accumulate relationships and connections with the Church of the Earth Mother and the Kingdom of Feynapotter.
Since they are not familiar, then contact them more often and they will become familiar.
...
Backlund, Empress Borough.
Harvey Hayden followed in the footsteps of the crowd to the underground theater to attend the party held here.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, the party officially began.
As usual, the first part is the team formation session. A middle-aged woman in the front row stood up and said, "The captain of the Blizzard Squad sent a telegram this morning, saying that the 'Cold Night Squad' was destroyed by Hobert, he wants..."
Buzz~
The sound of discussion in the theater immediately drowned out the voice of the middle-aged woman.
But soon, everyone was shocked by a huge pressure, and no one dared to continue speaking.
The source of the pressure was the old man sitting on the stage wearing a golden mask.
After order was restored, the pressure gradually disappeared. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After another ten seconds of silence, someone asked, "Is Elvin also dead?"
"Yes." The middle-aged woman said.
Harvey Hayden finally recovered from the shock, and then asked: "Was he killed by Hobert? Or was he killed by his father?"
"Hobert!" The middle-aged woman said in an affirmative tone: "Victor saw Hobert kill Elvin with his own eyes.
"Our information is wrong. Hobert is much more powerful than the information we have, so Victor hopes that I can help him find the contact information of the 'Prairie Wolf Squad'.
"Victor plans to divide the bounty with Steven (the captain of the Prairie Wolf Squad)."
A few chuckles immediately appeared in the theater.
In the mercenary world, there is a clear hierarchy for the level of tasks.
For tasks like the 10,000-pound level, only powerful mercenary squads like the 'Cold Night Squad' are qualified to take them.
Because Hobert's bounty was too high and his strength was too weak, he was targeted by three very strong mercenary squads at the same time. Before they set off, they discussed in this theater which squad would launch the first round of attack.
The 'Cold Night Squad' fought for a long time, and Elvin did not hesitate to use some favors to get the opportunity to launch the first round of attack.
In everyone's opinion, whoever gets the opportunity to launch the first round of attack is equivalent to getting the 10,000-pound reward.
Unexpectedly, it was wiped out like this. While everyone was surprised, they also found it a little funny, so some people laughed.
Harvey Hayden finally breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that I was worried for nothing. After all, he is the son of Sir Christian, and maybe he also inherited the genes to create miracles.
