In this case, even if we want to assassinate him, we should at least arrange a few silver knights, let alone gold knights.

At first glance, this mercenary group is local, so they can’t be that strong.

So Luo Ning concluded that the person the other party said should not be taken in was definitely not himself.

"You don't have to look at me with such hatred. I'm not the one they want to kill."

Luo Ning walked out indifferently.

Tom and David stood on both sides of Ronin. Although they knew that the adults were not afraid of these lineups, they still felt a little pressured.

Bauer saw at a glance that Ronin was extraordinary, and the two knights beside him also saw that the armor they wore and the shields they held were not of inferior quality.

"Who are you?"

Roning did not respond, but looked at a young woman and a young child who were protected by White, Philip and others.

He raised his hand and pointed at the two of them and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your target should be this mother and son, right?"

Bauer didn't respond, his face darkening.

But everyone else was shocked by Roning's words.

Everyone in the team knew that Pique was the only son of Baron Hammett, and Les was the Baroness who was about to become his wife.

Someone actually wanted to take advantage of them. Isn't this a challenge to the Baron's authority? In the crowd, Ms. Rice's face turned pale. She knew that things would not go as smoothly as she imagined.

Her son, Pico, also shed tears of anxiety and held her hand tightly.

"Ball, they are Baron Hammet's woman and son, do you dare to kill them?"

Fili tried to use Hamet to put pressure on the other party: "Lord Hamet is a bronze knight. Although you are a senior knight and have led a team to slaughter wolves, you have offended the Baron. You and your mercenary group cannot withstand his wrath!"

"Shut up!"

Bauer shouted coldly, and his loud voice filled with fighting spirit made Philip tremble. He was just a junior knight who was slightly stronger than ordinary people. He was no different from a child in front of the other party.

Ball's eyes were still focused on Roning. He had no idea how capable this man was.

Luo Ning simply gave the other party a choice: "I don't want to interfere in your affairs. Now I will leave here with my followers, and I will pretend that I didn't meet you tonight. How about that?"

His retreat made Ball feel that he was showing weakness.

“Hehe~”

He laughed coldly, drew out his sword, and was filled with murderous intent: "I said, no one can leave here alive tonight!"

Luo Ning sighed and took Tom's sword. "I was planning to stay out of this matter, but you kept forcing me. In this case, I will settle the score with you for destroying my things."

This account naturally refers to the account for destroying the monster leather, but it sounded puzzling to Bauer.

“Go to hell!”

Bauer's sword was filled with fighting spirit, and he rushed up at a very fast speed. In his eyes, how strong could a young man be?

Using fighting spirit is already a sign of overestimating the opponent.

"Be careful, he's a high-ranking knight!"

Philip shouted loudly, since they knew the matter had nothing to do with Roning, they could only place their hopes on this young man who looked extraordinary.

“Too weak!”

Luo Ning thrust his sword forward, and an astonishing aura burst out from his whole body the moment he raised the sword, forming a sharp contrast with his previous gentle appearance.

At this moment, Bauer felt as if he was being pushed up by a ferocious monster. He felt extremely uneasy all over. The sword that Roning pressed down on him, with its fighting spirit as heavy as a mountain, made him unable to breathe.

He wanted to dodge and beg for mercy, but it was too late.

“Bang!”

The two swords collided and the fighting spirit rushed. Roning directly broke the opponent's sword, and then cut off the opponent's armor and shoulders with the embers. The fighting spirit even rushed into the opponent's body and destroyed his heart.

Whoosh~ The strong wind caused by the collision lifted the hood on Ronin's head, revealing his silver-white hair, which looked so special under the moonlight and bonfire.

"you……"

Bauer's pupils contracted, and a figure appeared in his mind, but the next second his vision quickly darkened, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

The others, whether it was White, Phil, or the people from the Wolf Slayer Mercenaries, did not notice Roning's hair color, but were stunned by Roning's sword.

A high-ranking knight, a ruthless man who slaughtered the wolves in the jungle, was killed with just one sword? Ronin handed the sword back to Tom: "The rest is up to you two to deal with. This is a test for you."

"Yes, sir!"

Tom took the sword and rushed towards the mercenaries together with David.

This group of people had been frightened by Roning and had no intention of continuing to fight. Faced with Tom and David rushing towards them, they could only fight and flee.

At this time, Fili and White also reacted: "Brothers, come on, kill these bastards!"

The ordinary people who did not rush forward all kept their eyes on Roning.

A high-ranking knight was killed so easily. How strong must this young man be?

"Hey, look at his hair."

Someone noticed Luo Ning's hair color. Silver hair is not unique to the Wushan family, but in the Wushan Territory it is easy to associate it with the Wushan family.

"Are you Lord Luo Ning of Wushan Fort?"

"The Viscount of Wubei Territory?"

Although some people were asking questions, they had already knelt on one knee, calling Roning's name and expressing their gratitude.

But it was obvious that they were not well-informed and did not know that Ronin was now a count.

"Everyone, get up, take care of the horses and supplies, and collect the bodies of your companions."

Luo Ning gave a brief explanation and thought about going into the tent to rest.

"grown ups!"

Rice was a little flustered and a little timid, but he still called out to Roning.

"Is there something wrong?" Luo Ning asked.

Les took her son and saluted to Ronin: "Thank you for saving my life, sir. My name is Les Norton, and I am Hammett's wife."

Les Norton, it sounds like he is also a descendant of the nobility.

"How come I heard that you are from Hammet..."

He glanced at Pique beside him and did not say the word "lover".

But in this world, lover is not a shameful word.

"Yes, I was Hammett's lover before, and many people know it."

Rice said: "However, Hammett's wife and son died in an accident at sea a while ago. He planned to marry me, so he brought me and my son from Willy Manor."

"Is there such a thing?"

Luo Ning was surprised and asked, "He died accidentally at sea. Did he encounter pirates?"

He was about to cross the Howling Sea, so naturally he wanted to find out clearly.

Rice shook his head. "I don't know the details. Hammett only mentioned it briefly in the letter. It seems that the ship caught fire and sank."

Roning had never been on a ship in this world, but he thought that the main body of the ship was still made of wood. If a fire broke out at sea, it would indeed be a matter of life and death.

"You seem to have something else to talk to me about?"

The other party suddenly ran up to introduce himself and said these things. He should have other requests.

When Rice saw that his idea was discovered, he quickly pulled Pico to kneel before Ronin and said, "Sir, I don't know if there will be another attack tomorrow, so I would like to ask you to go to Stranglethorn Vale."

She lowered her head. "I know this is very rash, but I can't help it. Hammett has just taken over the territory and has many things to deal with. He doesn't have the time or the manpower to pick me up."

She paused and continued, "I don't want my son to die in this vortex before he can even live a comfortable day."

Luo Ning looked at the mother and son kneeling on the ground, and met the little boy's clear yet pleading gaze.

His identity is not ordinary. If he accompanies Rice and his son to the Thorn Territory, it will help Pique to become a regular employee.

However, faced with a mother's plea and the little boy's innocent eyes, Roning chose to agree.

Anyway, Stranglethorn Vale is on the route he wants to take, so it’s not a detour.

Besides, Rice and Pique are not going to fight for the inheritance rights, so there is nothing wrong in sending them over.

"It just so happens that I also have something I want to ask Baron Hamet for help with. I will accompany you to Stranglethorn Vale tomorrow."

After getting a positive answer, Rice was delighted and kept thanking Roning. To be honest, she didn't expect the other party to agree.

The caravans were all concerned with profit, not to mention the nobles, and she had nothing to give them.

"grown ups!"

At this moment, White came back and said, "Your two followers are fighting with a mid-level knight. I am afraid that something unexpected may happen, so I came to inform you."

"Are there any intermediate knights?"

Luo Ning frowned and walked over immediately.

Tom and David are both beginner knights, and it might be a bit difficult for them to fight against the intermediate ones.

Luo Ning didn't want these two to die accidentally during their training. (End of this chapter)
