The mage stood in front of Kant very respectfully, bowed his head and bowed his waist, very humble.
With such a large number of great knights staring at him, his so-called pride and self-esteem as a mage has actually flown to nowhere along with his dead companions.
It's all about bowing your knees, as long as you can live.
Therefore, he intends to tell all about Kant's problems as long as he knows.
very cooperative.
Kant nodded in satisfaction.
Riding on his war horse, the sword of the king has been sheathed again.
However, the aura of being a superior and the power of victory made the mage's forehead burst into cold sweat. Obviously, he was terribly afraid of Kant and the great knights around him.
Mage melee is weaker than Grand Knight.
The battlefield is cleared.
The Swadian knights had laid the bodies together.
Including the two parts that had been burnt, the strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of burnt smell was very unpleasant in the nostrils.
The mage scanned these corpses, and they were all familiar figures. Although they had only known each other for only a week, and there were even some friction and hatred, these guys turned into corpses and were slaughtered like lambs. Trembling with fear, he turned his head and looked to the side.
Seeing him unable to bear to look directly at him, Kant smiled, stretched out his hand in his arms and took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose to temporarily avoid the smell of corpses, and asked in a muffled voice, "Who are they?"
"They...they..."
The mage opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but his lips trembled and he didn't know what to say.
He's only just joined.
It's just temporarily joining this assassination team for profit.
As for the seven attackers with the level of great knights, and the two top archers, he actually didn't know him at all, but the mage looked up at the appearance of Kant and the surrounding great knights staring at him, and his heart Trembling, I don't know the word, and I can't say it.
He couldn't say it, but Kant was not surprised.
From the appearance, it is clear that they are not a long-term running-in team, but more like a short-term splicing team.
"do not know?"
Kant still covered his mouth and nose and asked.
"Yes." The mage swallowed, his tone trembling.
But the guessed rage did not appear.
Kant looked at him and continued to ask: "I used to study in the academy not far from the mage's tower in the Principality of the Lion, and I know many faces of mages, but you are very unfamiliar. My memory is very good, and I can be sure that you have never appeared The mage tower in the Principality of the Lion, and it doesn't look like the mage inside the mage tower, which makes me very puzzled."
"I am a wandering mage from the Kingdom of the Silver Plate."
The mage quickly replied: "The holy church of the Yinpan Kingdom has begun to expel the mage forces in an all-round way this year. The mage tower we are in cannot be maintained, so we can only choose to evacuate." After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "I am just a non-staff mage. I belonged to the inherited Mage of their Mage Tower, so I had no choice but to be abandoned when I evacuated, and I came to the Principality of Lions in order to make a living for myself, looking for a place to stay."
"Well, that's right." Kant nodded. He also knew something about the inside story of the Silver Plate Kingdom. The Holy See, which believes in the God of Holy Light, is indeed expelling non-Holy See forces.
For example, the Mage Tower, which also holds extraordinary power, is within the expulsion range.
This is caused by the historical reasons of the silver plate kingdom.
After all, when this country was founded, it was established with the support of the Holy See. Therefore, the power of the pope is comparable to that of a king. It is a country with a unified system of politics and religion. It also has its own Knights of the Guardian Order, which belongs to the top religious armed forces.
There is such a saying in the silver plate kingdom.
The body belongs to the King, and the soul belongs to the Light.
The meaning is obvious, the king and his aristocratic forces have the right to rule over the kingdom and the people, while the Holy See is the pillar of faith for the people and even the nobility.
But where there are people, there are fights.
The aristocratic powers were not reconciled, and they really divided their rights with the Holy See.
The power of mages is the target of the nobles. After all, mages with elemental power are much stronger in destructive power than priests with healing magic, various recovery magics, and slightly destructive magic.
The two sides colluded to suppress the position of the Holy See.
But for now.
Obviously, the Holy See has won the final victory, and the mages have been completely expelled across the country.
This was also granted by the king.
Perhaps there are compromises involved.
Kant naturally had nothing to do with the matter of the Yinpan Kingdom. Instead, he had a slight liking for the mage in front of him who knew everything. He nodded in satisfaction and asked the last question.
"Do you know the employer?" Kant asked.
"employer…"
Mages obviously don't have the work ethic of assassins.
He's not an assassin either.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Kant: "My employer seems to be from the East County of the Lion Principality. The person I negotiated with was just an ordinary gentleman, but I think the real employer must be hidden behind the scenes."
"East County Leader." Kant squinted: "This is really unexpected."
He thought it would be the leader of the South County, or the leader of the North County.
The employer from Dongjun collar really didn't expect it.
After all, compared to the South County nobles who are full of enemies, the North County nobles who are greedy for salt mines have been closed for 10 years, and the East County leader who has little communication has a neutral relationship with Kant.
There is no rancor, no kindness, and no connection whatsoever.
"Lord Baron Kant."
The mage swallowed, hesitated and said: "That's all I know, can you let me go? I'm just an ordinary wandering mage, and I had a conflict with these teammates. I released the firewall at that time, and it wasn't aimed at you either. The team released it directly, but only blocked your path, so you and I should have room for relaxation."
"Well, I'm very clear." Kant nodded. He was telling the truth, so he said, "I won't kill you."
"Thank you so much for your kindness!"
The mage immediately bowed excitedly.
But before he lifted up, the golden light was shining brightly, and a mace hit the back of his head in an instant, his whole head was like a bursting watermelon, splashing red and white on the ground, and his body fell down heavily.
"But someone will kill you."
Only then did Kant's voice fall, and he said calmly: "You know too much."
The royal knight next to him who was swinging a mace dismounted and threw the corpse of the mage whose head had exploded and shattered to the side. At the same time, other knights dismounted and quickly searched for any valuable items on these corpses.
Kant rode his horse to the side.
The smell of corpses and blood was very strong, which disgusted him a little.
It was his decision to kill the mage.
Although his own strength is elite, but before digesting the fruits of the current victory and developing into a behemoth in an all-round way, Kant does not intend to let his power be known to outsiders.
It is enough to show the muscles a little bit, and it can arouse the vigilance of those with ulterior motives.
But show absolute force.
What greets me is not surrender, but all kinds of hostility.
Kant has not yet made a plan to completely tear himself apart with the nobles of the Lion Principality.
Now his total strength is no more than 2,000 at full strength.
Even if they can break through the Stone Pass, successfully enter the Lion Principality, and even capture the barren North County Territory, and attack the East and South County Territories, the subsequent rule will be particularly weak.
There are only 2,000 people in the area, and they are all recruited into a force of 5,000 people.
Can completely rule the entire land of the Lion Principality
This is impossible.
This is even more unrealistic!
The regular army does not have 5,000 people, and the civilian population does not have 30,000 people. Kant will not launch a war that can destroy the country.
At present, his troops are mainly based on strategic defense and tactical offense.
There is no problem in defending the Nalun Desert.
Secretly plotting the Principality of the Lion, just like he let Manid infiltrate the Stone Pass, and let the bankrupt businessman Borg return to the East County leader to develop offline, boil the frogs in warm water, and slowly control the Principality of the Lion.
With the help of the system, Kant can do it easily and freely.
The knights scoured the body.
Coming behind Kant, Hui reported: "My lord, we have obtained 1 staff, 2 scrolls with spells on them, and 300 large silver coins with us. As for the horses they ride, they seem to be spirit Exhausted, all dead behind the dunes, worthless."
"Well, I see." Kant nodded.
These are his trophies, so it is natural to search for them.
Just when he was about to continue to lead the team away, a large number of cavalry appeared on the sand dunes to the south.
It should be a large-scale cavalry marching forward. Although the sound has not yet come, there is a lot of wind and dust behind them. Horses gallop at a high speed, and yellow fine dust fills the air.
The knights immediately regrouped beside Kant.
It's just that the alert will be lifted soon.
The cavalry coming in the distance are desert robbers and Sarande riders.
Rolf is leading the team and riding in front.
Seeing the corpses at the feet of Kant and the knights, his face was a little embarrassed. He lashed his horse with a whip and rushed over at a high speed, and asked Kant eagerly: "Lord Kant, are you not injured? We are late!"
"It doesn't matter."
Kant nodded, not blaming Rolf.
Most of these attackers have extraordinary power, and Rolf may not be able to deal with these attackers just by catching up and rushing over. Instead, they will definitely suffer tragic casualties. If they win, they will probably be miserable victories!
This is the suppression of the arms level.
After talking for a few words, Rolf was relieved to see that there were no casualties.
But when he turned his head and looked at the corpses, he felt a little palpitated about the great knight's fighting power.
He couldn't help but said to Kant: "This world has such power. I can't imagine what kind of danger my cavalry will face if they encounter these 10 guys."
"If you encounter them in the future, if you have no advantage, retreat immediately."
Kant said calmly: "The main thing is to preserve strength."
"Yes." Rolf sighed softly, with a rare look of depression on his face.
After all, this kind of terrifying combat power was indeed unacceptable to him who was born in the original world of history.
"That's right." Kant said: "Since you are here, I will give you three Swadian royal knights. They are all top-level knights comparable to these great knights. This kind of great knight, I think it can also temporarily relieve the plight of the central station."
"Thank you for your help." Rolf was overjoyed.
