As the footsteps got closer and closer, the fire light became more obvious. Tomad judged that there were about 15 to 20 of them. Their discipline was lax and most of them had not undergone strict military training. They should be bandits and robbers. But can just a dozen bandits break through a village guarded by a strong fence? Tomad couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and then he heard a somewhat cold and surly cry. "Throw the torch and see if we can force the remaining prisoners out!" A torch was thrown high, whirling over Tomad's head, and then smashed on the ruins of a house, the top of the torch wrapped The oilcloth was shattered, and the flames spread immediately. Then came the second and third torches. Each torch trailed a long tail of black smoke, and the sound it made as it passed through the air was like the roar from hell. Anger suddenly ignited in Tomad's golden eyes. The vicious gangster had made it impossible for him to suppress the murderous intention in his heart. "Keep alive." He ordered with a simple gesture. The next gesture ordered the dark elf scouts to kill. Black shadows swayed in the darkness, and then the first piercing scream came from outside the village. Hunting and killing an equal number of stragglers is really too easy for the Dark Elf Scouts. As the leader, Lisa Black Blade didn't even have time to take action. The gangsters outside the village were all killed by poisoned crossbows and daggers. Their corpses fell to the ground. Only the leader, a guy riding a bad horse, survived. . This result is completely unsurprising. However, for Tomad, this matter is somewhat distressing. If the battle is too easy, it will not have much effect on appeasing his anger. So when he walked out of the ruins with his hand on the sword hilt, the young trainee pilgrim's eyes were still burning with obvious anger. The guy on the horse was thin and had a haggard face. His weapon was a military heavy sword with a four-foot-long blade, but it was covered with rust marks. Judging from the posture of holding the sword, this man knew some swordsmanship, but he had already been driven crazy by the terrifying crossbow arrows and daggers. As soon as he saw Tomad's figure, he immediately dropped his weapon and dismounted as if he had fallen. Come down. "My lord, spare my life!" He shouted towards Tomad, and then he fell to his knees without hesitation, his face buried in the dust. Tomad looked at the remaining survivors coldly, especially the dark brown marks on the man's cloak and trousers. Experience told him that those were the traces left after the blood dried. "Who are you?" After examining him for half a minute, Tomad suddenly asked, "Did you do it to destroy this village?" "Iwe are Tatarchuk's city guards." Slim The guy's tongue was a little stumbling when he spoke, and he obviously hadn't recovered from the fear of his companions being quickly eliminated. He took out a gray-white badge from his arms, held it with both hands and raised it above his head, "This is my proof of identity, sir." "We were just following orders We didn't burn this village." "We were following orders?" Tomad took the badge and glanced at the pattern of the castle carved on it - it was indeed the waist of the captain of the city guard. Card, his tone became increasingly cold, "Whose order was that? The Lord of the Free City - Tito Joseph?" "No, of course not." The thin man raised his head in surprise, "Sir, you Why do you think we are the traitors? " "Traitors?" Tomad repeated thoughtfully, "You call Tito Joseph the traitor? Isn't he the city lord of Tatarchuk? He once served as the city lord of the Free City, and the city guards also obeyed his orders." A somewhat gloomy-sounding voice answered. Before Tomad could give the order, Lisa Blackblade, who felt her pride was hurt, was already like this. It rushed over like an enraged lynx, and the sonorous sound of gold and iron clashing came from the night. Tomad frowned. The voice that answered the interface sounded somewhat familiar. He was sure that he had talked to this person some time ago, but he couldn't figure out who it was. ?The blue light circulated, clanging and resounding, and the bursting sparks tore through the deep night, revealing two figures that were rapidly splitting, rejoining, spinning, and fighting fiercely. Lisa Black Blade obviously met a very difficult opponent. Every attack of the poison-quenching dagger was like a poisonous snake spitting messages, hard and fast, but not once could she taste the warm flesh and blood. They were all used by the opponent. Blocked the dagger. "Lisa, come back after venting. Don't let yourself get hurt, and don't hurt someone who may be a friend." After watching quietly for two minutes, Tomad spoke in a calm tone, interrupting the confrontation. An increasingly dangerous dance of death. Although Lisa Black Blade's eyes were still filled with unwillingness, she carried out the order without hesitation and closed the door.He turned back to the dagger he was about to thrust out, and jumped back with a lunge. This would have given the opponent a very favorable opportunity to pursue, but her opponent obviously had no intention of doing so. Although the dagger did not retract directly from the waist, it still lowered the blade to the ground. "Mr. Tomad An, long time no see. When did you get this powerful beauty to protect you?" He said in a somewhat frivolous tone. "It hasn't been too long." Tomad replied in a perfunctory tone, looking sharply at the man in black with the hood lowered, "I don't remember knowing a faceless man. Since we are friends, why not let him Did I see your face? " "I'm afraid someone will be very scared, but since it's your request" The man put away his dagger, then raised his hand and lifted his hood, revealing a face as thin and rugged as a rock. , a gentle and polite smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but no trace of smile penetrated into his jaundiced eyes. "Dragon? Fondrick." Tomad recognized those unforgettable eyes, "The secret keeper of the Adventurers Guild." "That's my superficial identity." Fondrick nodded and admitted, "I also have a hidden identity. I am the spy leader arranged by the Sleepless Eye in Tatarchuk, and one of the 12 Shadow Griffins." The man kneeling on the ground made a sound between a sob and a moan, but Toto Mader was not even interested in looking at him, and stared at Feng Derek without blinking. "You didn't reveal your identity to me last time, Feng Derek." "When the position is unclear, it is beneficial to both parties to conceal this identity." Feng Derek explained in a straightforward tone, "The Duke of Bamilyan is very interested in You are very concerned. After learning about your whereabouts in Tatarchuk, you instructed me to closely collect all information about you, including those who have been in contact with you. " "So, you know where those people are now. What's the situation?" Tomad keenly captured the hidden meaning in Feng Derek's words. "As long as it happens on the territory of the Griffin Empire, nothing can escape the eternal attention of the Sleepless Eye." There was a hint of obvious arrogance in Feng Derek's tone, "Tatalchuk encountered something bad some time ago. Of course, everything is no exception, Mr. Tomad An, if you are interested, I will tell you the truth." He said while looking around quickly, "But this doesn't seem to be the place to talk. , How about we find a place where we can drink and chat? " "That's great, I'm very grateful." There was not much gratitude in Tomad's tone, and he didn't mean to move, "But before that, I plan to find out what happened here first. "What else can happen?" Feng Derek glanced at the thin man kneeling on the ground shaking, "This village belongs to the fire people, that is. Those desert refugees who believe in the Flame Allah, the Fire People have never been regarded as subjects of the Griffin Empire, although the mercenary king Joseph Tito has established some laws to protect the rights and interests of the Fire People, and also allows them to travel in the Tatarchuk territory Soon after the Savage King Banner appeared at the White Rock Post, Joseph Tito fled with a group of his cronies, which led to the fall of the outer city of the Free City. Had it not been for an accident. Let the king of the barbarians change the direction of the army's attack, and maybe the whole city of Tatarchuk will be reduced to rubble. "I understand." Tomad nodded seriously, "Joseph Tito escaped, and the law he established. Naturally, it became a piece of paper. These fire people received his favor and supported him to become the Lord of the Free City, and therefore suffered revenge from the angry people who lost their homes and relatives" "With all due respect, Mr. Tomad An. , you are still a little naive." Feng Derek showed a slightly teasing smile and gently interrupted Tomad's speculation. "The Fire People have a lot of experience and skills in growing crops and raising livestock. Their crops are always more lush and productive than those in other fields, and their cattle and sheep are also healthier and fatter. This is not initiated by people who are carried away by anger. It was an act of anger, but some people who had long coveted the wealth accumulated in the Fire People village took advantage of it." Tomad took a deep breath. The flames burning in the ruins of the village behind him crackled, and the rising blood-red light dimmed the stars, leaving the silver moon without light. "How many evil crimes are committed in the name of justice. Long Feng Derek, as the spy leader of Sleepless Eyes, shouldn't you prevent this kind of crime from happening?" Feng Derek shook his head with an indifferent expression. "This is not my responsibility, Mr. Tomad An. The Sleepless Eye is only an agency that monitors intelligence, not an arm that controls the weapons of national law. Before the Fire Village was robbed and massacred, I had already sent the relevant information to the big police. The Sheriff¡¯s Mansion in Serre County, but has never received a clear answer.¡±"So you think you have fulfilled your responsibilities?" Tomad didn't notice whether his tone was hurtful. The fire burning in his chest burned his lips and tongue, making every word he spoke seem to be burned by a hot iron. Hong, "Sit back and watch the situation spread, and then watch the crime happen in front of your eyes with peace of mind?" "The spies lurking in the shadows must act cautiously, otherwise it will be a disaster for themselves and those they are loyal to." Feng Deli There was a hint of anger in Ke's hoarse voice, "And you said it easily. I only have dozens of informants under my command, and no soldiers wearing helmets or armor. What do you want me to do to stop it?" A large number of city guards incited by those people? "
