But Jim was not a light-hearted person either. His spirit never slackened, and his eyes were always fixed on Sharat. As soon as his opponent raised the bench above his head, he reacted and quickly rolled sideways. The wooden bench came into close contact with the floor of the bar. Under the astonishing force of the swing, it was smashed into sawdust. Jim immediately stood up, kicked up the bench next to him and flew towards Sharat. At the same time, as soon as he moved his hands and feet, he immediately rushed over. Sharat slashed open the flying bench with a strike of his hand knife. Before he could put his hand down, Jim's fist was right in front of him. With a crisp sound, Sharat held his bleeding nose and took a few steps back. If it weren't for the sword master's amazing system, he would have blacked out like an ordinary person at this moment. "Boy I've underestimated you. Sure enough, a person with strength at this age is definitely not simple." Sharat suffered a big loss, but this injury was not enough to paralyze his actions. Jim was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. Since Sharat could fight again, he punched his enemy in the face without hesitation. It has to be said that his moves can only be described as fast, accurate and ruthless, without any fancy, directly attacking Sharat's most vulnerable part. His nose was already flat, so Jim aimed his uppercut at Salat. Special chin. Salat¡¯s actions were not affected by the injury just now, but he became more alert and reacted more quickly. Lowering his head to avoid the punch, he turned sideways and kicked Jim in the chest. Jim knew that this kick could not be received forcefully. If he blocked it directly, his hand would definitely be broken. He could only avoid its sharp edge and pass Sharat cautiously. In this encounter, neither of them took advantage. For a while, They confronted each other, but neither took the initiative to attack. "Kyle, is this Jim your companion? I didn't expect that in addition to being very strong, his fighting skills are also superb. It's not like me who is old and lost to this bastard Sharat in just a few rounds." Captain Xiang sighed. It sounds like he is nearly forty years old, because of years of traveling. You can see white hair on the temples. Looking at the depressed expression on Xiang¡¯s face, Rick felt sour in his heart. At that time, Jack died at the hands of Sword Master Kim. He was wandering aimlessly in the Principality of Guangban. This man took him in. Treat people like an uncle. "Captain Xian, I will not let Tulip be embarrassed. I will always be a member of this mercenary group." Rick clenched his fists. He had practiced many insidious fists and kicks with Brother Mings. As long as Salad Don't use fighting spirit. He thought he could stand out, but unfortunately his internal injuries had not healed, and Rick was helpless. Rick can only hope that Jim can give Sharath a good beating, but the two are equally powerful and neither one can take advantage. "Boss Sharat, kill this kid quickly!" "Isn't it? Where has your prestige gone?" "Shut up!" Sharat said angrily. He and Jim fought for several rounds, and the more he discovered that this young man with long black hair was not simple. He usually didn't take action, and he was full of threats when he moved, if he wasn't an experienced fighter. It takes experience to maintain a tie. "We can't waste it any longer. A twenty-year-old guy can't handle it. How can I survive in the future?" As time passed, Sharat felt that he could no longer hold on to his dignity. He roared and rushed towards Jim like a wild beast. Sarat revealed his flaws due to anxiety. Jim smiled coldly and realized that he could be completely subdued with just a few moves. Suddenly, several heart-stopping sounds passed through the air, and Sarat groaned in pain. In the blink of an eye, his body was covered with crossbow arrows. "Ah!!!" Sharat's roar suddenly stopped, he rolled his eyes upward and fell into a pool of blood. "What's going on?" Everyone in the bar immediately fell into panic. Before the soldiers of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group came to their senses, they discovered that their deputy leader had been stabbed into pieces by a crossbow for no apparent reason. He immediately said angrily: "Who dares to sneak attack on our dragon and lion servants?" The man who cursed loudly had a crossbow arrow pierced his throat, and a large amount of blood poured out of his mouth like a fountain. This unlucky man still He didn't realize how he died, so he became an unjust ghost. This time, Rick saw clearly that the fatal crossbow arrow was shot from outside the door behind him. He looked back. At some point, the door was filled with guards from the Guangban Principality. They were guarding outside the Shark Head Bar in full force. A large number of guards rushed in, wielding their shining swords, and drove away the onlookers. "SirSir, this is just a conflict between mercenary groups, why are you" Sharat was already dead in the random arrows, and the other dragon and lion mercenaries were stunned, looking at the guards who rushed in with fierce looks. , another man asked tremblingly. The captain of the guard glanced at him coldly, "You are?Lion Mercenary Group? " "That's right, sir, do you still remember the young one? I've invited you to drink, why not" Before the man could finish his flattering words, the guard captain's reply was a decisive sword strike, smoothly cutting off his head. "Ah! ! ! ! "The waitress in the bar looked pale. She looked at the decapitated corpse and the bloody fountain and screamed. "All the people from the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group present will be killed without mercy. "The guard captain announced calmly, with an extremely calm tone. The bar was drowned by the neat firing sound of the crossbow springs. Those dragon and lion mercenaries who did not dare to accept the reality had no time to even scream, and were beaten by a wave of "Wewe are the Tulip Mercenary Group" Ollie nervously looked at the guards who were armed to the teeth and pointed their chilling crossbows at them, and he quickly explained. The guards holding crossbows were not crazy murderers, and they did not wipe out the Tulip mercenary group together. "My lord, why?" "Captain Xiang hesitated to speak. In general, conflicts between mercenary groups, as long as too many people are not killed, the official will not intervene. The guard captain completely ignored Xiang, but half-knelt in front of Jim, respectfully He said: "It was my dereliction of duty that put His Royal Highness in crisis. " "His Royal Highness? You mean this Jim? "Xiang looked at Rick in disbelief and asked doubtfully: "Isn't he your companion? " "Yes, he is the second prince of the Cato Empire, His Highness Jim. " "The second prince of the Cato Empire? "Tulip's mercenary group all looked at each other, staring blankly at the shirtless Jim. Jim glanced at the corpses on the ground indifferently, put on the blood-stained shirt again, and ordered expressionlessly: "I It's okay, you go take care of the scene. " "yes! "The bare-board guards who came to protect Jim took back their crossbows, each carrying a corpse of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, and collectively transported it outside the Shark Head Bar. The waitress hiding under the bar saw that the bar had calmed down. When I poked my head out, I saw that the guards, whose armors were clanging, were helping to clean up the corpses. The sticky blood on the ground was also wiped clean, and the barbed crossbow arrows were retrieved one by one. Only the messy ones were left. The tables and chairs witnessed the conflict just now. Jim walked towards Rick with a smile. The leader was slightly startled, and stood up quickly regardless of his injuries. He half-knelt in front of him, lowered his head and said humbly: "See the card. Your Highness, the second prince of the empire. " Tulip's mercenaries came to their senses. The leaders of the group were half-kneeling in front of Jim, leaving only Rick standing. "The Cato Empire is one of the three empires, and the Guangban Principality is a member of the Alliance of Light. It seems that the status is equal, but it is actually a tributary state. Many principalities do not have the title of nobility, but they all recognize the title of the Cato Empire, let alone the royal prince. "This is a bare principality, everyone does not need to care about my identity. . "Jim smiled naturally and lifted up the man in front of him. "His Royal Highness is the fianc¨¦ of His Majesty Bess and the future royal wife. And we are just humble civilians, so we must have no lack of etiquette. "Although Xiang stood up, he still lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Jim's eyes without offense. Looking at each other, Rick shrugged helplessly and said, "I finally came back to meet you all. Come on, don't be so coquettish. Even Jim said don't worry about it, so you don't have to be formal. " "Kyle is right, Jim is not the prince now. But the benefactor of our Tulip Mercenary Group, come and drink together! "Oli is a careless mercenary. His thoughts are on killing people and escaping, and he has always been very careful about the tedious etiquette. But as the leader of the mercenary group, Xiang is not a rough man. He turned around and glared at Oli. He glanced at it and said slightly angrily: "Who allowed you to call His Highness Jim by his first name? Also, Kyle, why didn't you tell me the identity of this adult earlier? If he was injured, we would have to turn around. " Jim burst out laughing. "Captain Xiang, I am not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong. If you feel that I am stressed here, I will leave first. " "Don't dare, don't dare" Sweat broke out on Xiang's forehead. It's not easy to entertain big people, but he didn't dare to really let Jim leave. Rick saw what Captain Xiang was thinking and smiled at Jim: ¡°Jim, you should go back to the hotel first, I haven¡¯t been with everyone for a long time. " Jim nodded to everyone in Tulip. With their respect, he left the Shark Head Bar and asked the guards of the Guangban Principality to escort him back. "Kyle, you are not feeling well. Don't drink too much. "It was just the last words he left. As soon as Jim left, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. OllieHe patted Rick on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Even the prince of the Cato Empire takes such good care of you. Boy, you have become so prosperous in just one year!" "Yes, yes!" Tulip The mercenaries all looked at Rick with envy and reverence. "Let's sit down first and then talk." Now that Rick is back, Xiang is not in a hurry to ask him about his recent situation, but asks everyone to sit down first. Now that the troublemakers have been bloodbathed, it is estimated that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group will never be able to hang out in Guangban Principality, and the threat of Tulip has been eliminated. "Captain, why did the Dragon and Lion mercenary group come to make trouble? They are a team belonging to the Lion Bar. Why did the Shark Head Bar allow them to cause trouble?" Rick asked puzzledly. "Well, there are many powerful mercenary groups in Guangban Principality, and our Tulip can only be regarded as third-rate. In order to recruit new people, we have to recruit some street gangsters. This time, some people can't change their bad habits. See the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group. A seriously hit team brought hundreds of magic crystals, and they couldn't help but kill people and devour the goods. In the end, they were discovered by the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group, and they came to find them. What happened was wrong. In our case, the Shark Head Bar will not care about it," Xian sighed and said helplessly. Ollie stared and said angrily: "They really deceived people too much! The leader clearly handed over the goods and the murderer, and promised to pay a large sum of money, but those bastards of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group They relied on their strength to embarrass us. But now, these guys have suffered retribution. They offended the second prince of the Cato Empire. Even if Jim lets them go, the Guangban Principality will deal with the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. "That's it." Rick nodded understandingly. The relationship between Shark Head and the Lion Bar is pretty good, and such provocations usually don¡¯t happen. But there are reasons for everything, and Shark Head cannot favor the Tulip mercenary group who kills people and seizes treasures. "Oh, let's not talk about it anymore," Ollie patted Rick's shoulder energetically and laughed loudly: "It's you, Kyle, who actually has such a big backer. From now on, we will have you to protect us. , What are you afraid of? Hahahaha!" Rick was silent. If he admitted it at this time, it would be equivalent to acknowledging that he was on Jim's side. If word reached Aaron's ears, the situation would become complicated again. Seeing Rick's hesitation, he understood that the relationship between Jim and him was not that simple, so he asked: "Kyle, how are you doing in Minx?" "Of course I can't live up to the expectations of the leader. I understand. Friends, their fathers are powerful nobles in the Cato Empire, and I got the title of baron because of my luck." Rick said with a smile. Everyone was in an uproar. "Kyle is a noble now?" Ollie looked at Rick up and down and asked with interest: "I remember that the nobles of the Cato Empire had territories, so don't you have your own private territory now?" Rui Ke nodded and said with a smile: "But I am just a small baron, and my territory is only as big as a small town." "Hey, that's not bad." Ollie once also dreamed of becoming a noble and owning his own private house. The manor also has servants dedicated to serving people, and there are taxes every year. There is no need to worry about making a living. It is simply the most ideal happy life. Captain Xiang nodded happily and said with satisfaction: "Kyle's future is limitless. Remember to take more care of our Tulip Mercenary Group in the future." Although the Guangban Principality is adjacent to the resource-rich rain and fog forest, the competition here is too fierce. Out of conservative considerations, he still wanted to go to the Cato Empire to develop peacefully, and Rick was also a noble after all, so he could make a lot of conveniences for them. "Captain, don't be so pretentious. If you hadn't insisted on sending me to Minkes, I might not have achieved this level of success. I'm also a member of Tulip. If you have any trouble, you can tell me directly. As long as it's I will give you whatever instructions you can." Everyone who had been insulted by the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group immediately felt better and raised their wine glasses excitedly. Rick knew that drinking was harmful to the body, so he drank a little sparingly. Others did not force him, and still drank enthusiastically. "Captain, although the threat of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has been eliminated, the size of Tulip cannot compete with other large mercenary groups." Rick looked at everyone seriously and told the truth. He nodded in detail, this is what he wanted to say. "It's better than this. I have a territory in Cato, which is surrounded by forests, but there are only some low-level monsters. Although you can't make money by selling high-level magic crystals, the risk of hunting high-level monsters is too high now, so I suggest everyone go As the Cato Empire develops, with our joint efforts, Tulip will definitely become stronger and stronger," Rick said sternly.
