City of Dimlight

Chapter 180 or Abandoned Blade

The old Duke stared at the other party's face as if he wanted to find out the suspiciousness of the news, but he failed because Grandin didn't seem to be joking at all.

Then he sighed and picked up the glass from the table, "As you say, the enemy's military strength is far more than we can compete with?"

The Sword God didn't look at him, but just gave a low 'grab', and then said, "It's difficult to resist - especially if you don't have enough supplies now."

"Then what should we do?" The old Duke was a little worried, "Does the Soros Empire have to join?"

"I'm afraid it's true," the sword god raised his eyebrows, "their regular troops can gather nearly 300,000 to fight, which is indispensable for now!" Then he looked at the faces of his old friends: "Even if they are added, they may not be enough - but at least they have a fight!"

The old duke thought for a moment, "Then what? Isn't that all?"

"Then I will draw tens of thousands of people from the large mercenary regiment contacted by the mercenary union, and then the three kingdoms of elves, dwarves and orcs will collect some more soldiers. In this way, with the Soros Empire, we can add nearly 5 to 600,000 troops - and only in this way can we hope to annihilate this black tide!" He was very sure of his judgment, but a few minutes later, he said, "At the same time, we must do another thing, that is, to find the remaining fragments of this abandoned blade before the ghost emperor."

"This fragment is not completely controlled by him," the sword god inferred. If he has mastered all the abandoned blades, then the undead can be 100% resurrected today, instead of such a poor few percent. At that time, the enemy army we face will become the real undead army.

The old Duke agrees with this view, and he is not unfamiliar with the abandoned blade. "Maybe the remaining fragments are in the human world." He put forward his own opinions. So the ghost emperor didn't get it.

"Maybe," replied the sword god. He may or may not know where it is - but for us, as long as we can find it first," he paused. "I don't know if the plan proposed by Howard you mentioned at that time is being implemented."

The old duke stopped for a moment to think about this problem. Good question." He finally spoke. This is a doubt, and I think there is always something unclear - I even suspect that the dark elves united by Howard belong to the ghost emperor.

"We must assume that it is the latter, and the dark elves belong to the ghost emperor," the old duke explained. Then Howard will be coerced by the dark elves to find the fragments, so that the ghost emperor actually has a greater advantage than us - at least he knows the approximate location of the fragments.

"We can't ignore this," Grandin agrees. "Then we'd better take measures now to take early precautions."

"Is there a person to go?" The old Duke suggested, "This man must be loyal and have excellent martial arts skills, and be familiar with the royal capital."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Grandin said, "I want to send Aslan as a suitable candidate!" He explained, "He has always been under you, and few people in the king's capital know him, and there is no doubt about his loyalty."

"There is no doubt that Aslan is very suitable for this task," the old Duke said at the same time, but soon he proposed another candidate. At the same time, we can contact the Blue Mermaid Mercenary Corps. I hope Leo can participate in this task - two groups to carry it out. I believe it is safer!"

"Leo? Is that the young mercenary regiment commander you told me about?" Grandin nodded, "If you think it's appropriate, you can contact them at the same time - but I don't really believe in these mercenaries, they may sell the fragments!"

The old Duke assured Leo, "I believe this young man, and their group is really good - at least I think he will distinguish the importance and won't help the ghost emperor!"

"It's rare," the Sword God was a little surprised. "Why did you affirm such a person - it was hard for me to get your trust!" He joked a little.

The old Duke smiled, "Because there is a person in the group, which makes me value it very much! I think this person is willing to stay by his side, which means that he is definitely a very important person - at least he will not be a little person who only recognizes money!"

"Oh? Who has so much face?"

The old Duke looked at him with a trace of admiration in his eyes, "It's the guy who doesn't want to be exiled for officials, and even the magician' union can't find him."

Grandin narrowed his eyes, "Are you talking about him?"

"Yes!" The old prince said affirmatively, "I guess it's inseparable. Most of it's him who is with Leo."

"Hahaha," Grandin picked up his glass. "I didn't expect to hear from that guy for more than ten years, and now he has come out by himself - if he is really by the boy's side, then there is absolutely no problem with this task." Then pour the rum into his mouth, "Then you can contact Leo and let them do this task - I'll assign a task to Aslan now."

He was about to invite people outside to come in, but suddenly stopped again, "Well, there's something to say. Where is the old guy now? - Is it convenient to meet?"

The old Duke shook his head, "Maybe he doesn't want to see you - forget it, you'd better wait. What happened back then hit him hard on him. When he wants to see you, he will naturally see you."

Grandin was stared and then smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's true. This guy doesn't want to listen to anyone's words - we can only talk about it then!"

Then he did not hesitate and shouted, "Aslan, come in!"

There was an answer outside the door, and then Aslan walked in proudly and knelt down first to salute, "Master!"

"Hm," Grandin nodded, "Get up - there is a very important task that must be assigned to you!"

"Oh?" Hearing the important task, Grandin couldn't help getting excited. The master and the old duke did not seem to be easy to discuss the task for so long. "Let the master order!"

After observing for a long time, Leo approached the caravan carefully with his team, but the sound under their feet quickly attracted people's attention, and one of the guards shouted, "Shut! What kind of person?"

The cry attracted the attention of most people. Many people jumped up from the ground in a hurry, and then pulled out their weapons in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, my lord," Leo shouted humbly, "We are adventurers, and we see that the caravan hopes to exchange something!" His tone matches his clothes very well. The worn leather frame, with an old crossbow, but with a wolf's head in his hand, and Zac and Obix behind him carry the torso and limbs of the giant wolf.

"What do you have?" A man came out next to the guard, looking like a housekeeper, "We are not an ordinary caravan. We don't need ordinary things!"

Leo hurriedly raised the wolf's head in his hand, "We..." He stammered, "I hit a wolf!"

"Did you kill it?" The housekeeper was very suspicious, "I think you picked it up?" A wolf is not an easy prey to deal with. Although it is not a problem in front of middle and high-level warriors, these people in front of them do not look like middle and high-level warriors.

Leo blushed insulted. "We killed it," he shouted. "The evidence is that there are still scars on his feet!"

It's still very possible to catch the beast trap. The housekeeper believed it. He looked at Leo: "You wait there. I'll ask the owner if he needs extra dinner!" Then he turned to the largest carriage.

Soon he came back and approached Leo to look at the wolf on the ground. "It's very fresh," he was happy. "It must taste good," he waved his hand, and soon several servants ran over. "Come on, carry the wolf to the water to clean it - the master told us to eat wolf meat at night!"

Several people agreed and began to carry the wolf corpse away. It seemed that they had not eaten meat for a long time, and they were all happy.

At this time, the housekeeper threw a gold coin to Leo, "Take it, it's all yours!"

Leo happily took over the gold coin, "Thank you, sir!" He seems to pretend that he has never seen the world.

This name made the housekeeper very happy. "You are really good that you can catch such a big wolf!" He casually asked, "Are you going to go there?"

"We can do it anywhere - we are hunters and work everywhere!"

"Oh," the housekeeper's eyes lit up, "So you are very good at hunting?" He began to calculate that due to the turmoil recently, he didn't bring much to go out, especially some easy-to-keep dried fruits and so on, and he hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Originally, I thought that I could easily hunt prey outside, but I didn't know that the family guards were not very good at it, and I ate very poorly along the way.

If he could take these hunters with him, then all the way... He looked up and saw these people about to leave, and couldn't help shouting, "Hey, do you want to make more money?" A gold coin in his hand was thrown and dropped.

As soon as they heard the word money, several hunters quickly ran back, "Of course, sir!"

He smiled proudly, "You stay here. I'll ask the owner if he wants to take you with him. If you can really get prey every day, then stay in our caravan - we'll buy everything and provide food on your way!"

"Of course," the hunter shouted. "No one has passed here for a long time, and the beasts can't be sold - as long as you are willing to buy our things, what does it have to do with you?"

"Well," the housekeeper who faded out of his mouth quickly went to ask his master, and then arrogantly left the three hunters in the caravan.

In the evening, Leo and others, who changed into a guard suit, sat by the fire and shared the wolf that had been cut off by Leo.
