Immediately, he quickly picked up the communication crystal and sent a brief but powerful order to Luo Jia: "Eliminate the head of the mercenary branch and throw his body into the Luoqiu Mountains. Make sure it's done cleanly!"
After sending the message, Martin leaned back in his chair and waited quietly for the outcome.
The person in charge walked out of the castle and looked at the magic prop hidden in his sleeve, which was flashing red light. His face became extremely ugly. He already had the answer in his mind: "The third prince is probably in great danger."
He didn't dare stay any longer and hurried to the mercenary branch, intending to compile a report on the whole matter as soon as possible and send it to the elder of the mercenary guild in Charlemagne's capital, asking him to make the decision on the matter.
After all, this task was given to him privately by the elders. Now that things have gone wrong, he can only hope that the elders can come forward to solve it.
On the way back to the mercenary branch, the person in charge, who was a peak silver-level expert, suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable uneasiness, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
This uneasiness made him quicken his pace, with only one thought in his mind: "Get back to the branch as soon as possible, it's safe there."
However, just as he was about to reach the mercenary branch and was about to cross the street to enter the branch gate.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped down from the roof next to him like a ghost, and without saying a word, brandished a knight's sword and stabbed straight at his vitals.
The person in charge reacted extremely quickly, instantly pulling out a magic item from his arms and hurriedly resisting.
When he saw the attacker's strength, his heart sank: "It's the Golden Knight!"
He instantly thought of Martin and cursed in his heart: "It turned out to be him who killed the third prince!"
At this moment, he didn't care about much else. He turned around and ran desperately towards the crowded place. While running, he kept taking out magic props from the space ring and throwing them behind him, trying to stop the attacker.
Seeing that the person in charge was about to run to a crowded area, the attacker knew that he could not delay any longer. He immediately burst out with all his golden aura and no longer concealed his strength. Like a golden lightning, he pounced on the person in charge.
When the surrounding civilians saw this scene, they were so frightened that they closed their doors, and those who had already gone out panicked and looked for the nearest place to hide.
In the blink of an eye, the attacker was behind the person in charge. He raised his knight's sword high and swung it with all his might without hesitation. A flash of cold light appeared, and the person in charge froze in an instant, slowly falling to the ground.
Seeing this, the attacker did not stop at all. He quickly picked up the still trembling body, turned around and rushed towards the Luoqiu Mountains.
At this time, Martin was in the castle, talking with Yoder and Roland.
He was slightly startled when he saw the communication crystal light up, then he reached out and picked it up, quickly browsing the information on it.
After reading it, a barely perceptible smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.
He put the communication crystal back and handed the space ring containing the magic props to Roland, saying, "Take this space ring back first. Carefully sort the magic props inside, label them with their names and uses, and then return them later."
After Roland took the space ring, he looked at Yoder, bowed respectfully, and retreated.
Martin waited quietly for Yoder and the other two to leave before he pulled out his communication crystal, skillfully activated it, and contacted Eric. Once the call was connected, he asked, "How are you settling in over there?"
Eric's steady voice soon came from the communication crystal: "Master, Shuang Ning and I get along very well."
"Frost Condensation?" Martin frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Is this dragon a female dragon?"
Eric quickly responded, "Yes, Master. Shuang Ning is a female dragon, and she can already transform into a human form. Master, Shuang Ning and I have become very close partners. Could you please transfer me back to your side and continue to serve as your guard?"
Martin fell into deep thought after hearing this.
After a moment, he thought that since Eric and Shuang Ning had almost gotten along well, he really needed someone strong to protect him. After all, his own safety was of paramount importance.
So, he said to the communication crystal: "Okay, go pack up now and prepare to come back."
Eric couldn't hide his joy when he heard this.
At the same time, Shuang Ning's voice could be heard faintly in the communication. Even though it was just a few words, it exuded an aura that kept people at a distance, and was very cold.
After ending the communication, Martin's thoughts were instantly occupied by the affairs of the third prince. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
Although all those who knew about this matter have been silenced, no one can guarantee that no accidents will happen. It seems that we have to prepare for the worst.
However, what if we knew about the existence of Dragon Knight?
By now, Lorgar must have returned to the castle. It was time to promote the Knights of the Dawn. They would be heading to the battlefield in two days, so there was no time to lose.
Martin had made up his mind and immediately walked towards the headquarters of the Knights of Dawn, with a maid following closely behind him.
As he walked, Martin suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the maid behind him: "You don't have to follow me anymore, go back to your room and clean up."
Previously, Martin had carefully checked the loyalty of the quintuplet maids and found that it was only about fifty, which still made him feel uneasy.
Now, Martin dared not fully trust anyone who was not bound by a contract.
After the maid left, Martin came to the Knights' headquarters alone.
In front of the gate of the military camp, two knights were guarding with straight postures. When they saw Martin coming, they both performed a solemn knight's salute in unison.
Martin nodded slightly and walked straight in. Along the way, whenever a knight saw Martin, they saluted, and Martin nodded in return, showing his respect for his subordinates.
Soon, Martin arrived at the door of the barracks. Before he could raise his hand to knock, the door was opened by Luo Jia from the inside.
Roga, who had just returned, was breathing heavily. This operation was extremely confidential. Even the knights within the Knights of Dawn knew nothing about it.
Martin walked in immediately. Seeing this, Luo Jia quickly moved aside to make way.
After entering the door, Luo Jia hurriedly took out a space ring and handed it to Martin respectfully.
Martin took it, glanced at it casually, and handed it back to Luo Jia, saying with a smile: "This is a small reward for you, keep it well." Luo Jia took the space ring again, and his face was full of joy. The reward from the young master was different.
Martin then instructed Roga, "Gather all the knights of the Knights of the Dawn. Knights above bronze strength don't need to come."
Roga took the order and immediately took out the communication crystal and quickly notified several captains, asking them to gather their men at the training ground. He also recalled the knights who were patrolling outside and temporarily replaced them with bronze knights to carry out patrol tasks.
