"The territory of the Elhorin family?"
Tian Yang smiled faintly, looked at Lu An and said, "Now I know why the city lord wants to take action against them."
Lu An smiled but said nothing.
The convoy stopped. Tianyang and Lu An did not get out of the car, but just watched from the car.
Luther from Blood City and Qiu Mo, Tianyang's henchman, both got off the car, bringing the Blood City Mercenary Group and the Parliament Guards respectively, and came to the front of the convoy, glancing coldly at the motorcycle that had stopped in front of them and the knights on the motorcycle.
There were only a dozen or so knights in total, but facing strangers who outnumbered them by several times, they were not panicked or afraid, and even had smiles on their faces that could be called arrogant.
The knights were led by a sturdy man from the West. He had short hair and a thick beard, both of which were light brown. On his sturdy arms were tattoos of the Elhorn family crest, exposing his well-developed muscles. On his chest was a fortress class emblem, but the number on the emblem showed that he was only a class 2 Ascender.
However, in this place, a Level 2 Ascendant is more than qualified to be the captain of a motorcycle team.
The sturdy man jumped off the motorcycle and pointed at the flag behind the motorcycle: "Are you deaf? Do you know what this flag represents?"
"If you still want to move forward, drop your weapons, open all the doors, and submit to our inspection."
Luther laughed out loud on the spot. Blood City was not a kind organization. He was so timid in front of Tianyang because he knew that Tianyang could kill him at any time.
But facing the big man in front of him, that was another matter. The current leader of the Blood City said calmly: "If you don't want to die, just shut up and lead the way. Take us to Settlement No. 12."
"This is my advice to you. You should know that I wasn't so kind before. So you'd better be grateful and don't do anything stupid."
The burly man exchanged glances with the knights. Feeling Luther's strength and the opponent's obvious numerical advantage, the bearded burly man, who did not seem to have trained his brain into muscle, finally chose to compromise rationally.
He nodded, got back into the car, and gestured for the people behind to follow.
So Luther and the others returned to the car, and the convoy continued to move forward. In the field vehicle, Lu An whispered, "Elhoin will not be so easy to talk to. Councillor Tianyang, you have to be careful when you enter the settlement later."
"Of course, they wouldn't dare to do anything when I'm around."
Tian Yang nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "What means does the city lord want me to use to deal with this settlement and mine?"
Lu An glanced at him, then said, "In this regard, the city lord has no clear instructions."
"So, I can do whatever I want?" Tianyang laughed. "That's much easier."
After walking another ten kilometers, a small town appeared in Tianyang's eyes.
Yes, small town.
This place doesn't look like a settlement at all. It has a towering town wall, and some obvious firing points can be seen on the wall, which are guarded by fully armed guards.
Most of the buildings in the town are bungalows, but deep in the town, there is a group of towering buildings. They are like a castle and are clearly different from other places in the town.
"That's the area where the Elhoin family is active. It's a restricted area in the settlement. Even the staff we sent here can't enter." Lu An sat by the window and pointed at the tall building.
Then, the secretary of the Minister of Security said, "The head of the Elhoin family is old Jones. He and Bishop Josh of the Church of War have been friends for many years."
"Old Jones has three sons. The one who presides over Settlement No. 12 is his youngest son, Victor, a Level 6 Ascendant. Elhoin has invested a lot of resources in the mines in this settlement."
"This mine brings Elhoin a lot of income every year. Therefore, even if I come forward, they will not easily hand over the security work to others."
"I wonder if Mr. Tianyang has come up with a solution?"
Tian Yang looked at the town getting closer and closer, and said calmly: "Now that I'm here, they only have two choices. Either old Jones will have one less son, or they get out of the settlement themselves."
He spoke calmly, but his confidence was so strong that Lu An was speechless for a moment.
The captain of the motorcycle team probably had already informed the settlement and the town in advance. When Tian Yang and his team arrived at the entrance of the town, they saw the heavy and thick steel double doors slowly opening with the roar of hydraulic machinery, and then a number of chariots came out of the settlement.
On the first crimson chariot stood a blond young man. He had a handsome face but gloomy eyes, like a scavenger.
Following closely behind the chariots were teams of soldiers. They deployed in formation, densely packed, with at least more than two hundred to three hundred people.
The motorcycle team stopped, and the bearded man trotted to the crimson chariot and reported to the blond man in a low voice.
After a moment, the blond man laughed and spread his hands, saying, "I am Jack, the son of Victor Elhorin, and the commander of the settlement's garrison."
"If you tell me who you are and where you are from, I might consider letting you into the city."
Tianyang and Lu An got out of the car, followed by Redding and other attendants, Luther, Yinmeng and Ye Xiao also followed, and behind them were the parliament’s guards.
The man named Jack was very arrogant. He stood high on the chariot, looking down at Tianyang and others, and he did not get off the chariot.
Lu An snorted and said in a deep voice: "I am Lu An, the secretary of the Security Minister of Ares Castle, and this is Mr. Tianyang. Where is Victor? I want to see him."
Jack raised the corner of his mouth: "Father went to the mine today. He is not in the settlement. It's the same if you tell me what you want to say."
Lu An took out an agreement and said, "In that case, you will inform Victor on my behalf. From today on, the security of Settlement No. 12 will be the responsibility of Mr. Tianyang and his men."
"The Elhoin family can leave behind a 50-man guard team, and the other armed forces must be disbanded. This is the agreement, and it has the city lord's signature on it."
Jack was startled, then burst into laughter: "Did I hear correctly? The fortress wants this kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair to be in charge of our defense?"
"Don't you see? We don't need any outside protection. We have three hundred people here."
"What about you? Are there fifty of you? This is really hilarious. If fifty sheep protect three hundred lions?"
later.
Elhoin's soldiers raised their guns and shouted loudly, with an incredible momentum. If it were any other mercenary group, they would probably have been frightened and retreated by this momentum.
Lu An frowned and was about to respond when someone gently pulled him back and he saw Tianyang walking past him.
Tianyang, holding the "Blood Drink", took two steps forward, pushed the blade lightly with his thumb, and the Blood Drink was unsheathed three-quarters of the way.
choke!
No one saw how the Blood Drink was unsheathed. Everyone, including the two Silver Crown Knights, only saw a flash of rusty red blade light in Tianyang's hand, passing by Jack's crimson chariot, crossing Elhoin's soldiers, and disappearing into the steel gate behind.
The blade light faded away, and the Blood Drink was sheathed, as if it had never been unsheathed.
At this moment, flames were burning in the corners of Jack's eyes and blood was raining.
A chariot was chopped to pieces by the sword light, and the soldiers behind it were cut into pieces as if by a thousand knives, their bodies were broken into pieces, and waves of blood were surging. As for the heavy gate of the town, it shattered into large and small metal pieces, which smashed down with a loud bang.
Only after everything calmed down did people hear Tianyang say lightly, "No matter how much trash there is, it's still trash."
Jack couldn't laugh anymore. His temples throbbed and the muscles on his face twitched slightly. He roared angrily, "How dare you kill someone in our territory? You're asking for death!"
He raised his hand, revealing a gorgeous long-barreled rifle that suddenly showed star power. Jack pointed at Tianyang and pulled the trigger.
The sun stood still.
boom!
A beam of light shot out from Jack's rifle, broke through the air, and instantly appeared in front of Tianyang.
A figure flashed in front of Tianyang, and Yinmeng drew her sword, splitting the beam of light in half.
She glanced at Tianyang, who said calmly, "Kill him."
A trace of helplessness flashed across Yin Meng's eyes. From the beginning, she knew that Tianyang asked them to come to Settlement No. 12 together in order to create conflicts between Einhor and the church.
Now Tianyang's order undoubtedly confirms this.
If she took action, it would undoubtedly deepen the gap between the main hospital and the east hospital, but Yin Meng did not hesitate. She raised her hand with the bracelet and first shook it in Jack's direction.
The chariot under Jack's feet immediately twisted and deformed like paper, and suddenly exploded. Jack jumped up from the chariot in shock. As a sublimator, his performance was quite satisfactory.
Unfortunately, he was facing Yin Meng, a Silver Crown Knight and a Level 6 warrior.
When he fell to the ground, he suddenly felt a chill above his head, and raindrops condensed from the star energy fell down, blocking all the space for Jack to move forward or backward.
At this moment, Jack finally felt fear and shouted: "You can't kill me, I am Victor's son!"
Unfortunately, the rain of star energy still fell, penetrating his pitiful and thin body-protecting star energy and sinking into his face, his limbs, and his body.
At this moment, a loud roar came from the town: "Stop!"
Then a huge aura came closer and closer, and a moment later, a middle-aged man rushed out from the collapsed town gate. He walked on the ground stained with the blood of the soldiers and came to Jack.
But at this time, Jack had no breath. Gradually, blood holes appeared on his body, and blood oozed out, dyeing him into a bloody man.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he looked at Yin Meng and Tian Yang fiercely: "Are you crazy? You actually killed Jack, a pure-blooded Elhoin. Do you want to start a war?!"
Tian Yang looked at the middle-aged man with a smile: "If Elhoin doesn't get out of the settlement and the mine before dawn, then what old Jones will get is not a war, but Victor's body."
