It was a cold and arrogant criticism, coming from Hancock. She was going down the stairs, speaking word by word to Aranza who was in distress. Apparently she heard the conversation between Aranza and Elita just now, Hancock's face
The slight warmth towards Aranza that she had felt in recent days suddenly disappeared, and she turned to look at her coldly. Just like in the unknown sea, she in the sanctuary used her insurmountable strength to despise Aranza, who was unable to defeat the senior warriors.
Aranza smiled bitterly and replied: "But I must fulfill my promise."
Hancock's next words left Aranza speechless. She said: "Building one false promise into another false promise until there is a fatal promise."
"What, you have nothing to say?"
Hancock was extremely aggressive. She leaned down and stared into the eyes of Aranza sitting on the sofa. She was only wearing a simple robe, and the horizontal hanging hem of the robe allowed Aranza to reveal one of the unfathomable lines.
The ravine is unobstructed, this is a scenery not to be missed, Aranza thought brightly in her heart, then her eyes blatantly turned downward and explored Hancock's chest.
"What are you looking at?!"
Hancock noticed Aranza's gaze and instantly gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Well, it's nothing."
Aranza scratched her head pretending to be ignorant, then simply changed the topic and said, "Instead of criticizing me, why not help me think of a solution."
Hancock snorted softly and said, "You should discuss this kind of thing with your fat men, don't ask me."
Aranza ruffled her hair flatteringly and said, "Well, his idea must be to give up rescuing Li, and I can't adopt it even if it's a perfect plan."
"Am I going to come up with good ideas for you?"
"Well, you are my woman."
Hearing this, Hancock leaned back on the coffee table, crossed his arms and looked at Aranza, and said: "As a woman, I won't help you make suggestions to please another woman. Besides... we are just mutual friends."
It's just for comfort. If you want me to be your woman, you are not strong enough."
"..."
Aranza laughed dryly, but a dark feeling passed through her heart.
After that, Aranza left his residence and went to the Lord's Mansion of Norland City. He met with Kim Gates and old Follett, but he did not talk about Li. He only asked about the training of new recruits and about Alice.
Regarding the formation of the War Bear pilot team, he could not provide any guidance from it, because neither the shrewd Kim Gates nor the seasoned old Follett could handle these matters much better than Aranza.
It is worth mentioning that there are two other things, big and small. One is the middle-aged officer recommended by Elita to Kim Gates, named Hawke. Kim Gates’s recommendation to Hawke
There is no doubt about his ability, but he is very concerned about Hawke's identity. In fact, Kim Gates reviewed all the information intercepted from the mercenary guild, except that he learned that Hawke came from a mercenary group called "Countercurrent"
In addition, all other records regarding Hawke's identity are blank.
This is unusual, because Hawke joined the mercenary group before the disaster of war. It is common for new mercenaries to be unable to collect complete information due to war, but it was different before. Almost all mercenaries were
The mercenary guild has detailed information, and some mercenaries with outstanding achievements have even recorded some of their deeds. But this Hawk has only one name in the mercenary guild's information.
"Well, it was recommended by Elita?"
Aranza put her chin on her hand and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes."
Kim Gates nodded and said: "Hawk was sent by me to garrison in Yilan City before. Miss Elita would definitely come into contact with Hawke in Yilan City, so she discovered Hawke's ability and recommended him to me.
In fact... I also know that this is a very capable guy, but there is too little information about him, so I don't intend to insert an unknown nail in the middle of the team. But I must also give Miss Elita an explanation.
…”
"Well, it doesn't matter."
But Aranza shook his head and decided: "Let's give this... Hawke a better position. We need talents now. If this guy is really good, we might as well give it a try. Well, as for this strange identity
, I think, if it was targeted at us, we would not be allowed to discover the loopholes."
Kim Gates thought for a moment and felt that what Aranza said made sense, so he had no objection.
And another thing is that Milok left Norland City this morning and went on a journey to find Ronstadt and the remnants of the Dawn Guard. Kim Gates assigned him two hundred Norland Army soldiers and five
One hundred recruits, this number is nothing to the increasingly large Norland Army. In addition, considering the possible obstruction to the movement of large numbers of troops, the pursuit team led by Milok will cooperate with the airship team in the search.
As a result, Steppe also participated in the search for Ronstadt and the remnants of the Dawnguard.
It's just that the journey of the prairie is not exactly the same as Milok's. He has almost shouldered all the tasks of intelligence, outpost, finishing, etc. except fighting. So this favored dwarf has been in a hurry almost as soon as he learned about the mission.
Leave Norland City and head to Sarah Falco State, where the Dawn Guard last appeared. More detailed plans will be slowly considered and formulated during the journey and will be sent back to Norland City.
But Aranza was quite depressed because of this. He originally wanted to formulate a relatively stable plan to rescue Li around the prairie's shaping technique. Unexpectedly, the plan was aborted before it was even started. He also
There was no urgent recall to the prairie because of this. For Aranza, finding Ronstadt was no small matter.
Because Aranza knew very well that this seed of revenge was different from other weak seeds. Once it was abandoned, Longstead would definitely make a comeback and become even more difficult to deal with.
"Well, that's right."
At this time, Aranza suddenly remembered something. He stopped Kim Gates who was about to leave and said, "Well, let the defenders keep their eyes open. I think someone will be a guest here soon."
Kim Gates seemed to realize something, nodded and said, "As you wish."
But before Kim Gates had time to follow through on Aranza's instructions, that afternoon, Noland City unexpectedly welcomed an unexpected guest, Vera. This is the routine that all forces should have - the first step.
If you capture prisoners, then the second step is to use them as leverage to negotiate with your opponent.
After Aranza regained control of Noland City, he did not modify the coordinates here, because for him, it was not necessary at all. Therefore, Vera was able to quickly appear in Noland City through the magic teleportation scroll.
In front of the city gate. However, before the port of the teleportation channel was formed, Hancock and Chenxi in Noland City had already sensed the abnormal space fluctuations. Therefore, they walked out of the teleportation array to Vera and arrived at the gate of Noland City.
, two holy magicians have been gathered, as well as the Norland Army soldiers who are waiting in full formation.
Aranza also stood calmly on the city wall, her eyes condescending, looking at the slender figure stepping out of the magic circle. The leather armor on her body was extremely economical, and it was already exposed to the point that if she were wearing underwear, this leather armor would
It may not be able to block the underwear everywhere, but it is obvious that she is not wearing underwear, and every attractive part is attracting men's attention in a state of being ready to be exposed. Aranza did not look down upon this, but could not help but frown - this
A woman who uses all available resources to their maximum is dangerous.
Vera's hand is naturally her usual chain blade, but it is different from the chain blade used in the ambush of Ilita and her party. The new chain blade behind the handle is not two independent blades at both ends, but a circle.
The curved metal blade connects the two ends of the handle. As a result, the killing angle of these double chain blades is obviously better than before, but it is more difficult to control.
"Is this how you welcome me?"
The scene in front of her did not panic Vera. As her eyes swayed, she quickly found Aranza, the leader, in the crowd, and spoke sarcastically.
Aranza shrugged noncommittally and said, "Well, do I want to give a big banquet and warmly welcome my enemies?"
Vera spat softly and smiled provocatively at Aranza: "Maybe if you serve me well, I will let your people go?"
"Well, do you think I'm a fool?"
Aranza couldn't help but sneer, let her go? Of course he wouldn't believe it, and Aranza was convinced that even if he met all of Alpha's demands, Alpha would not hesitate to order her to be killed after exhausting her value -
Just like when Ifei was bewitched by Alpha and killed Jie Xi.
Aranza knew Alpha too well, and mercy was nothing in the way of this person.
The eyes he looked at Vera gradually became cold, and he said in his voice: "Who do you think you are?"
Aranza had the confidence to say such a thing. Surrounding Vera, there were layers of warriors holding shields. Further outside, there were groups of magicians ready to cast spells, and two saints were suspended in the sky.
Domain Mage. No matter how powerful Vera is, she is still stuck at the primary level of the Holy Domain. However, the power that Aranza possesses is not a problem at least against most of the primary level of the Holy Domain. What's more, if you include him and Karu,
There is no suspense about the situation of the battle at all.
If she hadn't taken care of Li who was captured, Aranza would have wanted to kill all of Alpha's dogs, then pull out Alpha and cut off his head with a sword.
"So what are you going to do?"
Aranza's sudden change of attitude seems to have been unexpected by Vera, so that her choice of words towards Aranza inadvertently changed. From this point of view, although her combat skills are deep, her social skills are quite weak, at least in terms of momentum.
, Vera's momentum just now was actually discouraged by a change in Aranza's tone.
Hearing this, Aranza smiled disdainfully and said, "This is your problem, not mine."
Then, his words changed again: "Tell me what you have to do before you let him go."
