It's night, and there's still a little sleep before the next morning light.
At this time, Aranza had nothing to do, wandering alone in the Alice Fortress. He stood on the highest watchtower in the center of the Alice Fortress, with an artifact-level ballista and Poseidon's Wrath lying quietly like a sleeping beast.
By Aranza's side.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the metal bracket of Poseidon's Wrath. The cold touch made his heart become colder. And when the coldness in his heart reached its lowest point, his eyes finally looked outside the Alice Fortress - in the dark night.
Below, the lights of the camps were flickering. They formed a long dragon and surrounded the Alice Fortress. On each camp, one could vaguely see flags with different signs. In the sudden and violent autumn wind,
There is a sound of hunting in the middle.
These are the mercenary groups that responded to the call of the Mercenary Guild and came to besiege Alice Fortress. The largest camp among them naturally belongs to the Mercenary Guild. It is the big mouth of this long dragon that opens in a mighty manner, and
There are several extremely sharp fangs in this big mouth.
A sneer suddenly appeared on Aranza's lips. Sooner or later, he would pull out the dragon's teeth.
Aranza only stayed on the central watchtower for a moment, then turned around and left. The battle array put up by the mercenary guild was not worth his time. Speaking of which, Aranza had never thought of being hostile to the mercenary guild.
, as early as when the Thorn Mercenary Group was established, in order to expand its power while complying with the rules of the Mercenary Guild, Aranza also found a spokesperson like Kim Gates.
But now, the Thorn Mercenary Group no longer needs any cover-up.
Soon after, the mercenary guild will discover that they thought they had successfully pinned an "obedient" girl on the bed. When they were ready to enjoy the fun, they were shocked to find that the girl was holding a cold light in her hand.
Shining dagger.
Although in the eyes of the world, what the Mercenary Guild did was not wrong and was even worthy of praise. The Thorn Mercenary Map actually accommodated pirates, and this pirate was actually a high-ranking pirate. In order to ensure the comfort of the people, such a thing must not be tolerated.
. But in this era of frequent wars, who would really care about such things? Moreover, as long as many things are raised to a certain level, there will be no discussion of the moral rights and wrongs of them. Some
, just succeed or fail.
Aranza knew that this matter was just a handle that happened to be discovered and used by others, and a conspiracy about him had just begun.
However, Aranza does not yet know who his opponent is. Perhaps it is the head of the Lane family, Duke Alcis Lane. He has too many reasons to deal with Aranza, and Aranza has grown to the point where Alcis is
This is unacceptable to Sri Lanka. But it may also be other people, because for a sapling that is growing vigorously and has shown its edge, the powerful people standing at the top of the pyramid are obliged to break the sapling.
This is thanks to one of the leaders of the Awakeners, Yvette Yulia, whose decision allowed the Thorn Mercenary Group to step onto the stage in advance.
Before he could reach it, Aranza's figure appeared in front of a residential area again.
Not long ago, the war between the Thorn Mercenary Group and the Awakeners spread here, causing most of its buildings to be destroyed. The repair work started after the war, but it has still not been completed. But to Aranza's surprise,
, the small house where he and Jie Xi once lived was the first to be restored.
He walked in and walked out again, but it was already midnight.
Aranza continued to walk idle until another small building caught his eye. That was the place where Yvette once lived, and it was also the only small building that had not been restored and was not planned to be restored.
This half-collapsed building is completely different from other buildings. It is simply a mixture of metal and stone. In fact, from the collapsed parts, there are obviously many more metal fragments than stone in sight.
Aranza had a hard time imagining why a girl could be so obsessed with metal creations.
He walked into this small building, stepped on the rickety stairs, and looked around casually, but found nothing special. However, in a collapsed corner, Aranza saw a familiar war magic machine.
In the Desert of Death, the magical war machine Yvette originally made was the Smart Armament.
It was precisely because Yvette made this thing that Aranza decided to conquer her.
Aranza stared at this smart weapon for more than ten minutes, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Well, you are really smart."
After saying this, Aranza suddenly raised his fist and hit Ling Liang Weapon's chest.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a slight explosion in the air, not the sound of metal breaking. When Aranza took his hand out of the broken chest of the smart weapon, a blue light spot flashed in his hand, but after only a moment, it
It was completely extinguished, but Aranza caught nothing on her palm.
However, somewhere Aranza didn't know, a sleeping girl suddenly woke up from her dream. A trace of cold sweat slid down her forehead, and her breathing seemed a little constricted, as if she had suddenly hit something out of reach.
matter.
This is a place similar to a cave, but the metal objects everywhere give this cave a strange sense of beauty. After her breathing stabilized, the girl closed her eyes and felt something. After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes.
A trace of anger and surprise flashed through her, and the girl gritted her teeth and sneered: "Aranza, haha, you finally showed up!"
The curses in the dark did not make Aranza feel any discomfort, and he continued to walk as if he had nothing to do.
Almost all the high-ranking figures in the Thorn Mercenary Group live in this community. For example, Cyril lives next to the small building where Aranza and Jessie live, and beyond that is where Elita and Hancock live temporarily.
Two small buildings. The residence of Kim Gates and Savannah was originally in Norland City, but now that city has been occupied by the mercenary guild, and Kim Gates and Savannah also had to move out.
He and old Follett lived in a row of small buildings on the other side of this community.
Aranza looked at this place with satisfaction. The people who lived here were all his friends.
At this time, most of the lights in the residential area had been extinguished, and people were preparing for the coming morning. Only a small building still shone with the light of the magic lamp, which was where Hancock lived. Aranza suddenly laughed.
He shouted twice and walked towards it.
The door was unlocked, and Aranza went in.
The first thing you see is a small but exquisite living room. This "exquisiteness" is limited to its layout. Aranza is not too impressed by its decorations. Most of them are rare gemstones and finely carved gold ornaments.
This also shows that Hancock's taste and her arrogance are based on power.
In the center of Aranza's sight, Hancock was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed. Her black waterfall-like hair was flowing down, adding a bit of coquettishness to her face, which was always proud.
She didn't open her eyes, but the usual cold voice sounded, saying: "You are finally here."
"Well, I haven't been back for a long time, so I just walked around and wasted a little time."
While Aranza answered casually, she casually sat down on the sofa in front of Hancock and looked at Hancock inexplicably.
Hancock then opened his eyes, but her eyes were clearly not arrogant, but full of interest. She also looked at Aranza and said, "What, you are not afraid of me now?"
Hearing this, Aranza thought for a moment, shook her head first, then nodded, and said, "Well, I don't know exactly, but it won't be the same as before."
"Haha, once you have some strength, you will start to act on your own!"
Hancock didn't mind pouring some cold water on Aranza.
However, Aranza didn't mind the cold water at all. He laughed twice and said, "Well, if you are self-righteous, you will know after you try it."
"How to try?"
Hancock suddenly felt that Aranza had some evil intentions, of course, more of them were silly, like a little kid who had been bullied for a long time, and he felt proud after doing something "big" that he thought was good.
Appear in front of the other brats who once bullied him, ready to brag.
Of course, Hancock would not express her thoughts.
Moreover, Aranza was not the brat she thought she was, well, maybe she was a little villain.
Aranza stood up, and then, a pair of words suddenly pressed Hancock's shoulders.
"What do you want to do?!"
He struck so fast that Hancock didn't react. When she questioned and tried to resist, Aranza laughed loudly, turned her wrist slightly, and easily pushed Hancock down.
On the couch!
"Of course I'll try it like this!"
Aranza chuckled, clasping Hancock's arms with one hand, and slowly exploring her chest with one hand. He could feel that Hancock was resisting, and the resistance of a strong man in the sanctuary was natural.
It is obvious, but Hancock's power at this time, in the eyes of Aranza before, was simply unshakable, but now, there is no threat.
He is seeking revenge like Hancock, in the same violent way.
However, Hancock's subsequent reaction almost discouraged Aranza.
When she found that she couldn't break free from Aranza's "claws", she simply stopped resisting and even straightened her body in cooperation, letting the fragrance on her chest approach Aranza's hand, which she wanted to move more slowly. Her head tilted slightly.
Lifting it up, it was gathered next to Aranza's ear. A little warmth came from her mouth and surrounded Aranza's ear, but it almost alerted him.
"Boy, don't think I don't know what you are thinking."
Hancock whispered into Aranza's ear with a moist tone, and the arrogance he thought appeared in her words reappeared.
"Damn it!"
Aranza cursed bitterly, but had no intention of letting it go.
