Chapter 107: The Retreat of the Fire-Eyed Warbler

"Fire-eyed warbler, I thought you weren't coming." The executioner was not surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. This was exactly what they wanted.

"Somebody come!"

He shouted loudly, and soldiers holding crossbows appeared on the rooftops around the square. The taut crossbow strings were pressed with arrows that shone with magical light. Even though the Mo Ruo family is not very wealthy, they can still get such enchanted arrows.

"Get ready, release!" According to Viscount Moruo's previous instructions, the commander directly released the arrow without waiting for the other party's excuse.

There was a rapid sound of breaking through the air, and the black arrow left a fleeting afterimage in the air, hitting several people on the stage.

Faced with such a scene, the people who were watching the excitement fled in panic, fearing that they would be affected. Fortunately, both sides did not care about these civilians and allowed them to leave.

In a hurry, the crimson sword light was swung on the high platform, cutting off several arrows, but other parts were also shot into the body, bringing with it large and small blood flowers.

Seeing that her men were injured, the woman holding a crimson sword on the stage frowned, and then her eyes narrowed. The sword in her hand trembled sharply, tearing the air with lightning speed, and swung out several rays of sword light, slashing towards Soldiers in the distance.

She probably has the strength of War Sequence 5, so she has the means to attack from a distance.

Several rays of sword light swept across the masonry of the roof, tearing it apart with a bang. Some tiles and soldiers fell down amidst the screams, making a spluttering sound.

Seeing such a scene, the ordinary people around them hid faster, and the place gradually became empty.

"You still dare to resist, do you want to rebel?" the executioner asked and roared.

"No, no, no, this gentleman can't frame us 'Fire-Eyed Warbler' so casually. In fact, we just received news that our companions were in distress, so we came to rescue." The mature woman was wearing white trousers and a jacket, using The long sword easily swept through the sparse crossbow arrows, and there was still room to answer the executioner's questions.

Then a few more sword beams slashed down, causing the remaining crossbowmen to fall down. She then stopped and jumped off the high platform easily with a few people behind her.

"Now let's talk about practical issues." She easily pulled out the orange sword flower in her hand, which decorated the cold town, and walked closer to the executioner step by step.

The executioner, who was protected by the guards, looked at the woman silently. He didn't let the woman stop until she was nearly ten meters away.

"Stop, what you want to say, just say it here."

"That's it." The woman with Fei Sword smiled, then really stopped and stood there.

"I think I have already shown my sincerity, then Lord Viscount Morrow, can you show your honor and commitment?"

After saying that, she looked back and scanned the surroundings gently, as if searching for which building Viscount Moreau would come out of.

"My lord is not here. If you have any questions, please tell me." The executioner waved his hand to stop the soldiers beside him.

"Really? If I tell the truth, will it expose Lord Viscount's secret?" She pressed her bright red lips with her free finger, leaned forward, and showed a sly smile.

"How could you know Lord Mo Ruo's secret?" The executioner was unmoved and still shook his head.

"But my lord, if your organization returns the stolen treasures, then we can let you go and not pursue the case any further."

"Treasure? Sorry, I don't know what treasure it is. Maybe you can tell me what Lord Mo Ruo's treasure looks like."

"You..." Hearing this unexpected answer, the executioner was speechless for a moment. This was something he didn't know before, and Viscount Moreau didn't explain how to deal with it.

The scene suddenly fell silent and froze for a while.

Far away from the square, on the second floor of a restaurant, Lorraine Hill and Lottie sat by the window sill, looking at the scene in the distance through the gaps in the curtains. Although they were hundreds of meters apart, because both of them were extraordinary, they could still see clearly what was going on.

"Is this what they are?"

Lottie was a little curious. Today she was wearing a black coat with a sweater underneath because the weather was getting colder. And this sweater was knitted for her by Lorraine Hill.

"It should be some secret treasure." Lorraine Hill recalled the little news he heard in the forest before. It seems that the organization 'Fire Eyed Warbler' has been paying attention to Viscount Moreau for a long time.

"There is also local folklore that the Moruo family hides belongings from the past in the forest."

"Is that so..." Lottie seemed to be remembering something as she listened to the explanation. Her eyes drifted for a moment and she was immersed in memories again.

Soon, there was a rapid sound of fighting, and a group of black-clad sergeants in the square began to exchange fire with the "Fire-Eyed Warblers".

Not only were there the sparks and sounds of swords clashing, but there was also a bit of gunfire mixed in. Since the end of the war, some technologies have begun to spread from Lurna to the world.

To be honest, Lorraine Hill didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two parties. If it weren't for the previous closure of the city, she might have left here and headed to the next stop. But now that the two sides are at war, it would be a good time to observe the level of both sides.

According to her chatting with the mercenaries these days, she also asked Miss Charlene. Gradually, I also understood the origin of the organization ‘Fire Eyed Warbler’.

Since the empire conquered this land hundreds of years ago, some meritorious officers and soldiers have been granted the title here, and they have built their own castles everywhere to rule the land under their name.

But because most of them came from the central part of the empire or other provinces, after coming to this unfamiliar and remote area at the time,

Afraid of being forgotten, or losing understanding of the situation in the center of the empire, an organization quietly emerged.

These are the 'Fire-Eyed Warblers'. Like nightingales, they travel through the mountains and forests, secretly conveying messages to the imperial capital and other provinces in order to appease the anxious or restless new local nobles.

For this reason, in the early days, the nobles attached great importance to the 'Fire-Eyed Warbler' and made a lot of investments or sponsorships for it to develop better. It can be said that at that time, the 'Fire-Eyed Warbler' was a semi-official organization in the southern border, existing like the eyes and ears of the local nobles.

They used this to understand the situation in the imperial capital, and also to understand the big and small things happening in the southern border, so as to make their rule more stable.

However, this close cooperative relationship gradually began to fade over time. The nobles settled down for a long time, gradually became familiar with this land, established a private army and a solid ruling system, and also had other channels to obtain various information, and no longer relied entirely on this organization.

In addition, the Baskar family, which is gradually integrating the southern territory, cannot tolerate such a huge intelligence organization operating in the fiefdom. The Red Dragon Dukes of the past dynasties began to fight and pull against this organization, trying to take it completely for their own use.

This process was almost successful, because the gradually weakening 'Fire-Eyed Warbler' also needed a backer.

It's a pity that the war has changed too many things. The Paskar family with black background and red dragon has turned from prosperity to decline. The situation in the south has been shuffled. Legions directly affiliated with the royal family have begun to settle in. Everything has changed again.

While Lorraine Hill was still recalling the recently obtained information, a roar came from across the square.

"Is Master Mo Ruo really going to push us to a dead end?"

In the venue, a dozen or so "Fire-Eyed Orioles" extraordinary people who were originally strong and healthy had fallen to the ground. Only a few of them were standing, and they were all injured. Around these people, in addition to the original guards and sergeants in black, there were about a dozen soldiers wearing bright red military uniforms.

Their drawing and shooting movements were extremely standard and steady. It can be guessed that these soldiers in Sequence of War 3 are all from the elite of the empire.

One of the red-coated officers held his sword flat at his side and looked at the fallen people in front of him, with drops of blood rolling down from the tip of the blade.

"That's all." He glanced at the members of the 'Fire-Eyed Warbler' contemptuously, then put away the knife and slowly inserted it back into his waist.

"Tie them up and take them down."

"Yes, sir." The soldiers behind him obeyed the order and immediately began to take action.

The only person still standing in the open space at this moment was the mature woman from Fei Sword. However, her condition was not much better. There was a trace of blood on the side of her messy blond hair, and her eyes were fixed on the red-coated officer who was getting closer and closer.

"You are not from Viscount Moreau, but from the Regent." There are only a handful of officers above Sequence 6 in the southern border. How could this person be here?

"That's right. Although His Highness is no longer in the South, he is still very interested in organizations like yours. If you are wise, you'd better put down your weapons. This will be a good thing for yourself and your companions." He put the scabbard in his hands. In front of him, he looked down at the other person with enough space.

"Tsk..." After hearing the answer, the woman spat. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not refute for a moment. She really needs to consider the lives of her companions around her and cannot act haphazardly.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Regent, but if you want me to surrender, I can't do that." As he said that, the loud eagle call sounded again in the sky.

Immediately, a swift black shadow swooped down from the sky, passed through the moist and cold air in the mountains and forests, and swooped towards the square. This is an extraordinary black hawk known for its speed.

Seeing that the woman was about to escape with the help of the Black Hawk, the soldiers in red began to take aim, their fingers gradually pressed on the trigger, and the magic crystal gun made by alchemy in their hands gradually charged up.

"Stop." The officer pulled out the knife again and placed it in front of the muzzle of the gun, asking them to pause shooting.

"Let her go."

"Yes, sir." These soldiers immediately took the order and put away their magic crystal guns.

Accompanied by the long hawk's cry in the whistling mountains, the woman once again took off with the help of the magical beast under her, but compared to her high spirits when she got up, she was now much more embarrassed.

"Let her go. I think we also need a messenger to send the news back so that we can negotiate with this organization faster." Looking at the black shadow in the sky, the officer turned around easily.

"Now, let us spend a few days of leisure in this small mountain village." He ignored Viscount Moreau's men and left directly with them. By the way, the members of the 'Fire-Eyed Warbler' were also killed by his soldiers. Bundle away.

For these elite regiments directly under the royal family, Viscount Moreau's little treasure and little thoughts are really unacceptable.

They suppressed several rebellions by the great nobles in the southern border, and captured countless properties and secret treasures. To be honest, there wasn't much that stood out.

Perhaps in the past, it was rare extraordinary weapons and armor, or rare extraordinary skills.

However, times have changed.

The extraordinary skills of the past are no longer applicable. Everything has to be restarted. The extraordinary weapons that were rarely seen in the past are fired by the magic crystal gun. It is difficult to say that there is any good performance.

It's just a few more rounds of shooting.

This is the current surplus of the Southern Army. After absorbing the advanced tactics and systems accumulated in the war, it has begun to crush the old forces within the empire.

After the fall of the Paskar family, which originally had all this, the other nobles in the south could no longer check and balance the pressure from the central royal family. Either turn to the royal family and give up most of the power and territory, or start a rebellion and become a chariot.

corpse.

"it's over."

Listening to the scene outside the window that gradually became quiet, the originally quiet environment in the restaurant became lively again, and everyone began to talk about these elite soldiers from the capital of Longyi Province.

"It should be a legion directly under the royal family. Look at their armor and weapons. They are so luxurious." Several poor adventurers were all envious.

"Although His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is just a warrior, he is really good at making money."

"Oh, I just copied the Paskar family and sacrificed the red dragon on a black background. There is nothing to be proud of." As a local resident of the southern border, I am still closer to the Pasca family.

"The way the Southern Territory is now, the royal family is really shameless."

"If they hadn't launched the war and then surrendered first, how could everything have turned out like this? Now the glory of the empire is just a rag in the mud, and no one is too lazy to look at it."

"If I had the strength of a Sequence 8, I would definitely charge into the Rose Palace and kill that false king, just like his brother, haha." The drunken man said his thoughts with his face flushed.

"Shh." The companions around him were so frightened after hearing this that they quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing to talk nonsense. Then they nodded to the people around him and quickly pulled him to pay and leave.

Listening to the words around him, Lorraine Hill said nothing and lowered his head again to eat the food in front of him.

In fact, it was not difficult for her to kill Edron, a familiar classmate. But what is more difficult is how to end the chaos of the empire and establish a new order that everyone agrees with.

She has theories, but theories are just theories. The Empire is not Crancia, and everything cannot be copied from past experience.

That would be no different from a historical mistake.

Perhaps, she should ask the farmers and hunters in the mountains what they want, or see what else they need.

Compared to the few nobles and soldiers, these tired and poorly clothed people were the majority on this land.

It's a pity that in the past, most of these people were just like the trees on the mountain. They would not be valued or 'seen' by others. They themselves considered themselves humble and accepted everything as always.

Whether it is the rule of the Bhaskar family or the royal family, life is like this anyway, it will not bring about change, there is no hope, and naturally there will be no pain.

Life is like a cold mountain path, lonely and rugged. Although it is difficult to walk, they are also used to getting bleeding blisters from stones.

While time makes people grow, it also makes them learn to be silent and bow their heads, because only in this way can they survive.

And now, how should we act to make these wet and cold firewood burn again? How to make them believe that this long and eternal winter will one day end. And the future will be more beautiful and real than the present.
