The Warrior Captain was just as he said - his sword skills without using martial energy were invincible. It only took him two minutes to pierce the throat of the Golden Knight, who fell to the ground dead.
Wang Xiaohai sat on a chair in the study, watching all this like a spectator of time.
The shielding light of the martial energy is useless to him. It seems that it is difficult to research a shielding device for the awakened ones. The technology of the Evil Spirit Continent is much superior to that of the Steam Continent, but it has not been researched, let alone the Steam Continent.
After the Warrior Captain killed the Golden Knight, he turned to Wang Xiaohai holding the bloody sword, his eyes full of murderous intent - Wang Xiaohai had followed him silently before, just waiting for this moment.
Wang Xiaohai picked up the undrinkable cup of tea on the table and sipped it gently, as if he didn't take the Warriors captain's murderous intention seriously - in his opinion, if the Warriors captain dared to attack him, he would immediately become a dead man!
The Warrior Captain hesitated, wondering, "Could this fellow also be a martial arts expert?" He recalled Wang Xiaohai's earlier strike with a sword and was startled. He couldn't sense the trajectory or direction of Wang Xiaohai's attack, nor could he sense any fluctuations in his martial energy. It was as if an ordinary person had taken out a warrior with just sword moves and strength. How could this be possible?
"Are these two people not in the same group?" A glimmer of hope flashed in the Duke's gray eyes - it seemed that he still had a chance to escape.
"In fact, you can also survive. As long as you sign the territory transfer agreement to Earl Lettis, the earl will agree to spare your life." The warrior captain said to Duke Sob.
"Why doesn't he speak for himself?" Duke Sob said coldly. "My dear brother, does he seem afraid to confront me?"
"That's because Count Lettis has more important matters. He's leading the Golden Knights towards the residence of your loyal subordinates," the Warrior Captain replied. "There are also several Golden Knights outside the Duke's Palace. You can't escape even if you have wings."
"What good did Laetis give you? I'll give you double!" Duke Sob said, "As long as you help me escape from here, I'll give you anything you want, as long as I have it!"
"I won't ask for any favors from you," said the captain of the warriors. "Earl Laitis saved the lives of my wife and children. I swear to repay him with my own life."
Duke Sob turned his gaze to Wang Xiaohai who was drinking his tea: "My friend, are you willing to help me? I can pay any reward." He believed that there was a conflict between Wang Xiaohai and the Warriors Captain. The two had not said a word to each other since they came in, and there was a bad look between them. They must not be friends!
"Any reward?" Wang Xiaohai put down the teacup in his hand and said, "This tea is good, tastes like sweet rain, and has a refreshing fragrance."
"Friend, you said before that you were just watching from the sidelines." The Warriors captain's tone was dissatisfied. Although he believed that his martial arts were invincible, he lost his confidence after seeing Wang Xiaohai. He thought that if he could avoid fighting with Wang Xiaohai, he should.
"Yes, I was just watching from the sidelines before because there was no benefit for me to intervene, but now that there are benefits in front of me, of course I will not stand idly by!" said Wang Xiaohai.
"My friend, you will offend Count Letis and the Glorious Knights by doing this!" The Warrior Captain's tone was threatening.
"Oh--" Wang Xiaohai said, "Thank you for your advice, but I would rather offend the knights than offend money and treasures!" Although he regarded gold, silver and jewelry as dirt, the Glorious Knights were not even worth as much as dirt in his heart.
The Warrior Captain had nothing to say but gritted his teeth, picked up the Golden Knight's rapier below, and stabbed the Duke. This sword was much better than his own!
Duke Sob hurriedly hid behind the bookcase, but the Warrior Captain's sword ignored the bookcase, accelerated in the middle, pierced through the bookcase, and stabbed at Duke Sob's throat behind him.
The tea lid with a plum blossom pattern in Wang Xiaohai's hand popped out, spinning like wind and instantly hitting the warrior captain's rapier. The tea lid shattered and bounced the rapier away, allowing the Duke to avoid the fatal sword.
"Two million cows." Wang Xiaohai gently blew the hot steam off the tea and stated the conditions.
"This... I guess all the cattle in my territory combined don't have this many." The Duke hesitated.
"You can agree to be slow, but the sword of this warrior captain is not that slow!" Wang Xiaohai was not in a hurry at all. Even if Duke Sob died, he could still find Count Lettis to trade. It would just cost some money and cause some trouble.
"I promise you!" Seeing the captain of the warriors continue to stab him with his sword, Duke Sob hurriedly agreed, "If there are not enough cattle, can I use sheep, pigs and horses instead?" he asked again.
"Yes, a cow is worth three sheep or two pigs or two horses." Wang Xiaohai thought about it and continued to fly out another tea lid with a plum blossom pattern to knock the warrior captain's sword away.
"No problem, if you rescue me and save my life, I will give you all these!" Duke Sob shouted.
"The deal is successful, partner." Wang Xiaohai stood up and walked to the Duke. "What should we do now? Should we send someone to the square to announce this?"
"But now I am surrounded by the traitor Lettis, and my position as Duke is almost gone. I guess my subordinates won't listen to me anymore." Duke Sob said helplessly.
He no longer has the capital to trade.
"It's okay. Aren't the Holy See's Radiant Knights guarding outside?" Wang Xiaohai said, "I can just tell him not to interfere. Without the Radiant Knights, your Golden Knights will regain their loyalty. Your power is already stronger than your brother Lettis's. Wouldn't it be easy to suppress him?"
"You are right, but will the Glorious Knight listen to you?" Duke Sob didn't believe that Wang Xiaohai could do this.
"Bang—"
The Warrior Captain burst through the door and seemed to be running to inform the people outside.
"Partner, the assassin ran away." The Duke reminded Wang Xiaohai.
"The verbal contract between us was to help you save your life, not to help you catch the assassin." Wang Xiaohai said lazily, "If you run away, then run away. It's no loss to me anyway."
Duke Sob was speechless for a moment - indeed, the other party was not his subordinate or servant, there was no need for him to listen to him in everything and no need to be under his command!
"If he runs outside the mansion to inform all the rebels and let them prepare, it will be very troublesome." Duke Sob reminded Wang Xiaohai.
"What trouble is there? If I can persuade the Radiant Knight, why should I be afraid of other minor characters causing trouble?" Wang Xiaohai looked at the Golden Knight lying on the ground next to the bookcase. "I guess your subordinates are either surrendering or being killed. You should have some confidence in your partners."
Duke Sob stopped talking and followed Wang Xiaohai out of the study in the Duke's Mansion. After leaving the study, he felt the pressure in his body lighten - he was also a knight when he was young, but his peak was over and he was old!
The sky is a little gloomy, as if it is about to rain, and it seems like a omen!
