Chapter 60:

Intimidation Fanxing did not wait outside the castle of Amberxiu for the return of the two brothers.

In his opinion, as long as the two came back alive after entering the castle, they would definitely come back to ask him for the balance. So they only needed to confirm that the two had entered Amber's castle, and there was no need to wait foolishly outside.

The stars have more important things to do.

Fanxing brought his teammates to the territory of Porcupine Knight Aldrich Jaais.

The holy warriors, dressed in silver-white armor and riding celestial war horses, formed a sharp contrast with the ragged serfs along the way.

When these poor farmers saw the appearance of the holy knights, they couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow to these unknown noble lords.

The stars raised their hands high, and a platinum halo spread out, enveloping the nearby serfs in holy light.

The serfs suddenly felt their strength doubled, and the pain and hunger in their bodies quickly dissipated.

Covered in the dazzling light, the stars were like gods descending to earth, making these serfs remember his name deeply.

This is also the most commonly used missionary method of the Ryan Empire. A vitality aura can make these lower-class people experience the power of holy light firsthand. If we preach to them now, it is estimated that it will be easy to make them become believers of the Lord of Dawn. When the troops of the Ryan Empire retake this land, the resistance will be reduced by half.

But Fanxing is not here to preach today.

"Praise the Lord of the Dawn, may the holy light dispel your suffering. I am the Holy Knight Fanxing of the Lion Empire. Today I am here to visit your lord. Who can lead the way for me?"

After Fanxing asked, a middle-aged man dressed in proper attire soon came out, bowed and said to Fanxing respectfully, "Honorable Holy Warrior, I am the sheriff of this area. I can show you the way."

When Fanxing saw the man's fat figure and the whip in his hand, she immediately realized that this was a criminal who was called a sheriff but was actually a slave owner.

Although the people of the Ryan Empire are hated by other races and are extreme humanists, they treat their compatriots well. The Ryan Empire has hundreds of millions of people, and except for the newly recovered territories, there are no human slaves in other completely surrendered cities.

Well, slaves of other races don't count.

Fanxing resisted the urge to teach this slave owner a lesson, and said in a deep voice, "Then please lead the way."

The sheriff hurriedly mounted his pony and led Fanxing and the others with a smile.

The Porcupine Knight's territory is not large. After crossing the large farmland, he soon saw the manor belonging to the lord.

Compared with Amber's castle, the Porcupine Knight's manor is a bit small and looks rather shabby.

This is the real life of a small lord. There is not so much extravagance and debauchery, and in some special circumstances, he still has to worry about starving.

However, after the last war, the food crisis came to a temporary end. The main reason was that too many people died in the war, saving a lot of food.

Moreover, after the battle, the Porcupine Knight directly launched a just accountability against the "neighbors" who had lost their lords. The reason was that the dead lords underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, which led to the complete failure of the entire battle, and they should bear the main responsibility.

The other living lords all acknowledged the crime, so they united to plunder those three territories. This just made up for the losses in the war. As for how the people in those three territories would survive... they could just run away. Aren't the nearby lords enthusiastically recruiting outsiders?

Although this trick slightly delayed the economic crisis in the territory, the Porcupine Knight also completely gave up the idea of ​​fighting with Ambersu.

At that time, he was too arrogant and thought that the so-called undead were just skeletons that trembled when they walked, and he could smash dozens of them by charging on horseback.

But Amberxiu told him what magic was. It was not the kind of magic that required a long time of chanting spells just to light a cigarette, but a terrifying thing that covered the sky and earth with one move, like a meteor shower.

Countless soldiers turned into bones and had no power to resist at all.

The peasant troops, who had not undergone rigorous training, had their morale collapsed instantly when they saw such tragic deaths. After returning, many of them were so scared that they went crazy, so they had to be hanged.

The Porcupine Knight now only hopes that Amber will not hold him accountable, but he dare not provoke him again.

Therefore, when a group of holy warriors including Fanxing appeared, the Porcupine Knight felt quite uneasy. He didn't want to be involved in any fight between the holy warriors and the undead again.

However, to the Porcupine Knight's surprise, the first words the paladin said were: "May the Holy Light protect you, Knight Jaais. I'm very sorry. I'm the Paladin Fanxing of the Ryan Empire. I came to the Alchemy City to rescue our fellow paladin Alan Watson. I heard that he was hired by you to attack the territory of a lich, right?"

"This... this... there is actually a misunderstanding..."

The Porcupine Knight didn't know whether he should respond or not. Alan Watson was nominally hired by him to attack the lich's territory. This paladin seemed to have been captured by the lich. The group of Lion people in front of him might be here to cause trouble.

The Porcupine Knight didn't owe Alan Watson any money, and the mercenaries were captured after a failed battle, so it shouldn't be his fault as an employer. But the Ryan Empire seemed to be notoriously unreasonable, and if these paladins really came to cause trouble, they could find any excuse to destroy the Porcupine Knight's family.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

They are not from the Alchemy City, and they will just run away after making trouble. The Alchemy City may not do anything to a group of holy knights for the sake of the little lord, the Porcupine Knight.

What you fear will come true. Fanxing didn't wait for the Porcupine Knight to find an excuse and interrupted him directly, saying, "Knight Jaais, I heard that you hired Alan Watson at a very low price. This price is definitely not worthy of the identity of a paladin and a priest of light, right?"

"The price was agreed upon at the beginning..."

The Porcupine Knight felt a little wronged. Of course, he spent very little money, because the paladin himself had a grudge against the lich, and he was almost working for nothing in the battle.

At that time, the Porcupine Knight felt that he had gained an advantage, but he didn't expect that it would become an excuse for the other party to find trouble.

Fanxing pressed on, "Because you hired my companion at a very low price, I have reason to believe that you used some unsavory means, perhaps coercion or deception. In short, you are responsible for the capture of Alan Watson. Am I right?"

As he said this, a hazy light and shadow appeared behind Fanxing, like a majestic god, making an angry expression towards the Porcupine Knight.

The magic of intimidation can enhance the threat and reduce the opponent's will.

The Porcupine Knight felt his legs go weak. He was not so scared when he faced the griffin.

The Porcupine Knight stammered, "You... I... I didn't mean it... Please give me a chance to make it up to you..."

Fanxing then smiled and said to the Porcupine Knight: "Don't worry, we are not here to cause trouble to our compatriots. We are here to completely eradicate the lich. However, we need a little help from you."
