There is no doubt that Alma is indeed good at gaining power through strategies. In the eyes of most people, he is an insurmountable mountain covered with clouds.
But no one would have thought that this mountain would fall into the hands of a villain who peeks into the power.
Milgan didn't consider the consequences of Alma's death at all. He just wanted to use Alma's daughter to gain power that should not belong to him.
However, Milgan may be a bold adventurer, but he is definitely not a qualified assassin.
After the assassination was successful, the mercenary leader obviously did not control his mentality well. He neither cleaned up the scene immediately nor hid on the spot, but planned to escape directly at night...
This is actually something that only inexperienced novice assassins can do.
After the assassination is successful, the best way is to lurk in the city and wait for the city to become chaotic because of the deceased, so that you can escape easily.
If you have time to tidy up the scene, you should definitely tidy it up, or create some misleading, so as to increase your own safety.
Most novice assassins will die within the first hour of success.
Calmness and meticulousness are the most important qualities of an assassin - a guy like Risadiran who can always remain calm even after being caught is considered a high-level assassin.
But Milgan is neither calm nor careful, nor even very calm.
Therefore, Milgan's behavior of hurriedly fleeing the scene just after he succeeded was discovered by Alma's men without any surprise.
Immediately afterwards, the entire inner fort became extremely noisy. The soldiers discovered that Alma had been assassinated, and hundreds of people began to chase the assassin.
However, Milgan is indeed very skilled. Although the masters he brought in all died in the Long River Town inner fort, he actually managed to escape from Long River Town alone.
In other words, it is not called "killed out", but "jumped out".
Many things are always surprisingly similar.
Milgan, like the previous Misfortune Bringer, was also blocked in the corner of the room on the fifth floor. He was also forced into the corner. Then he accidentally discovered the reversible secret door and jumped from the fifth floor into the lake.
But Milgan didn't grow up by the lake... His water resistance was not very good, and the equipment on his body was relatively heavy. Although he didn't wear the blue heavy armor for the assassination, he still almost drowned.
But he was lucky, or Eric was lucky, Milgan met Eric in the water.
In fact, this is not a coincidence - Eric is a local of Long River Town, and his best skill is swimming. He originally planned to sneak into Long River Town through water with twenty or thirty men.
But he couldn't get in for a while. Long River Town was very tightly guarded, and the river terminal in the city was now guarded by many soldiers, so he kept wandering around the lake, preparing to try to swim in from the lake behind the inner castle.
As a result, the two met in the lake behind Long River Town.
The inner fort was noisy with the pursuit of Milgan. The lights were bright, and someone jumped from the fifth floor into the water. Of course Eric could see such a big movement on the lake.
So Eric rescued him from the lake
In other words, Milgan fell into the hands of Eric - in the lake, his life and death were indeed in the hands of Eric.
Eric Although he is not good at martial arts, he is on land.
In the water, there are really not many people who can fight against this White Stripe in the Waves.
Milgan is certainly a person who knows current affairs. In addition, he knows Eric and they just walked hundreds of miles together not long ago.
Although not friends, at least they can be considered acquaintances.
Moreover, Milgan actually has the excellent quality of repaying kindness - of course, when it is necessary to have it, it can only have it...
After knowing that Eric planned to enter the city, Milgan said that most of his mercenary group was still in the city and he could bring Eric in.
He also told Eric everything he knew in detail.
But Milgan is not a fool. He did not mention that he killed Alma at all.
Eric was already worried about how to get into the city, but now he finally found a way, so with the cooperation of Milgan, Eric finally got into Long River Town.
But Eric is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is familiar with Long River Town's environment. Of course, he can think that since Milgan fell into the water from the inner castle, it is very likely that he did something extraordinary - so he tied up Milgan and brought him into Long River Express's residence.
As a result, this poor assassin who planned to escape Long River Town immediately was brought into the town again, and was placed next door to Long River Town's inner fort - Long River Express's station was right next to the inner fort.
At this time, the inner fort of Long River Town was already in chaos.
Due to Milgan's novice behavior, almost all of Alma's subordinates who stayed in the barracks in the inner castle square knew that the Duke had been assassinated, and now they were all in chaos.
These troops from Lion Lake City are now leaderless and at a loss.
Probably out of a sense of responsibility and instinct, they divided into two parts. One part went outside Long River Town to look for the assassin who jumped into the river, while the other part left the inner fort and launched an attack on all suspicious people in the city.
Long River Town descended into a full-blown riot within an hour.
A small number of Lion Lake City soldiers with bad military discipline began to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, killing people and taking wealth.
Some local ruffians in Long River Town also began to take advantage of the troubled waters.
Fortunately, Godric launched a "severe crackdown" when he took office, and Long River Town's robbers and bandits were basically wiped out. Otherwise, the consequences of the riots would have been more serious.
And the Griffin Sword Mercenary Group members scattered in various taverns in the city became the first victims of these rebels - they are indeed the most suspicious personnel...
Although this was an unexpected conflict, in fact Alma's subordinates did find the right target - it was Griffin Sword Mercenary Group who originally did this.
The members of Griffin Sword Mercenary Group had no news about Milgan. They thought that their leader had been killed, so they would naturally resist desperately when they were attacked - the female warriors of this mercenary group were indeed quite loyal to Milgan.
As a result, the troops under Alma and Griffin Sword Mercenary Group fought together in the city.
The top leaders on both sides are absent, so Lion Lake City's troops have a numerical advantage; while Griffin Sword Mercenary Group, although not large in number, is highly elite and has stronger individual combat capabilities.
The two sides were evenly matched, and as a result, the two sides fought an indistinguishable battle in the streets of the city.
This strange war lasted until late at night. Since half of Lion Lake City's troops went outside the city to search for the assassin who jumped into the river, only half of them were in the city. As a result, both Griffin Sword Mercenary Group and Griffin Sword Mercenary Group fought a lose-lose battle.
The correct judgment made by Eric played a decisive role at this time.
The escorts who were originally hidden in Long River Town now all put on heraldic robes and regrouped at Long River Express station.
When Lion Lake City's troops were fighting fiercely with Griffin Sword Mercenary Group, Eric and his escorts captured Long River Town's inner fortress without any effort and successfully rescued Godric.
Later, Godric discovered that Alma had been assassinated, and also saw the edict on Alma's desktop.
Godric certainly understood that it was impossible for King Ulrich to transfer Long River Town to Alma, but he did not know that this was done by Alanric Prince. He thought it was Alma who forged the imperial edict and passed it on to the king.
So Godric raised a banner and announced that Alma was rebelling, and together with Eric, he led the bodyguards to put down the rebellion.
Godric, who had served as Royal Guard's chief, was probably the best person in the Lionheart Kingdom in cleaning up the chaos in the city - he and Eric led the escorts to suppress them one by one, always using more to defeat less in each street, and soon regained control of the situation in the city.
In the early morning, Long River Town's interior was completely cleared by Eric. Alma's men had no fighting spirit in the first place, so they all evacuated Long River Town and retreated to Lion Lake City.
Griffin Sword Mercenary Group was forced to fight an extremely difficult war in the city, with frighteningly high casualties. In addition, Milgan never showed up. The remaining two hundred people of this mercenary group also left Long River Town and fled in the direction of Trublen.
At the same time, Sir Roland, Sarah and Lesley, who were rushing to Long River Town, met Raphael halfway.
Of course Sarah and Lesley knew Raphael. After listening to Raphael's explanation of the situation, Sarah was very keenly aware that this was the method used by Duke Alma, and also realized that it might not be time to rob the prison.
Sarah has been socializing among nobles for many years and is very familiar with these tricks - Alma first released Raphael, and then immediately declared Raphael to be a traitor. This was probably to blame others.
At the same time, releasing Raphael will make everyone know that Godric was caught by him. Since he dares to disclose this matter, he is probably deliberately attracting people to rob the prison.
So instead of going to Long River Town, they took Raphael and the dozens of rangers to Trublen, intending to find out the news.
As a result, they happened to run into the remnants of Griffin Sword Mercenary Group who had fled to Trublen.
The Griffin Sword mercenary group was earlier than Alma's troops in Changhe Town. They actually knew that Raphael had attacked Alma. Since they had a common enemy, there was no conflict between the two sides.
But after coming into contact with Griffin Sword Mercenary Group, Sarah's face became worse and worse...
Because when some female adventurers of Griffin Sword Mercenary Group mentioned Milgan Kirick, they used the name 'Kir(kir)'.
Sarah knows this name.
Eight years ago, when she was eighteen years old, she knew...
The handsome knight she was obsessed with at that time, and her lover who suddenly disappeared, called himself 'Kir'.
No wonder he disappeared, no wonder he had so many adventures...
It turns out that he has taught so many girls how to use swords...
Sarah felt dizzy and lost almost all his strength.
In fact, for Milgan, not only the beautiful girl cannot tie him up, but also Eric's rope cannot tie him down...
What are the things that scumbags are best at?
Of course it's to disappear...
After fully controlling Long River Town, Eric returned to Long River Express's station, but only saw a few broken ropes on the ground - Milgan had disappeared!
This is actually inevitable. If he didn't have this ability, Pendor's best scumbag would have died eight times long ago.
Milgan and Li Ang have the same habit, they both like to carry a concealed knife with them.
However, the lord brings a knife mainly for kidnapping, and Milgan mainly uses it for running away...
In his more than ten years of adventure, that knife saved him at least eight times...
But Milgan did not find his mercenary group. After escaping from Long River Town, he went to Lion Lake City alone.
Long River Town's chaos Li Ang doesn't know that he is currently busy facing a group of strange enemies.
In other words, two groups of strange enemies.
One group is Gatu people.
The other group was mostly wrapped in animal skins, and they all looked like Misty Mountain Savages...
The reason why I say it is strange is because how could these two groups of people get together?
The lord does not understand why Misty Mountain people and Gatu people attacked Noldo Elves?
But at least now, he understands why Lord Aldarian was defeated, and why Gatu people dared to go deep into Noldo Forest.
Because many Misty Mountain Savages hold the heraldic shields and maces that belong to Ebony Gauntlet Knights, and a small number of Misty Mountain people hold Noldor swords and Noldor shields.
Obviously, these Misty Mountain people have probably been fighting together with Gatu people.
Most of the Ebony Hammer Wielders responsible for seducing Lord Aldarian are gone, and their weapons have all fallen into the hands of Misty Mountain Savages. Their fate is obvious.
It is estimated that Gatu people and Misty Mountain people jointly arranged an ambush, and they ambush together with Ebony Gauntlet Knights's people.
According to what Risadiran said, Lord Aldarian hates Gatu people extremely, and probably won't let him go if he sees Gatu people. It is understandable that he was ambushed by Gatu people and Misty Mountain people.
Li Ang is now next to a forest horse farm, hiding in the dark and peeking at the situation inside the horse farm.
He didn't have many people, only two hundred people, which were his non-commissioned officers and some newly recruited soldiers. The ratio of recruits to veterans was one to one.
This is deliberate, and the one-by-one approach allows recruits to grow quickly.
When entering the forest to help Noldor fight, he can only bring his own subjects. The knights and soldiers of White Deer Fortress are definitely not willing to do this kind of work.
After discovering the traces of Gatu people, Risadiran sped up and led the team all the way here, where they happened to encounter the enemy launching an attack.
Since he did not have many manpower, Li Ang did not rush into the battlefield immediately, but kept waiting for the opportunity.
Risadiran showed strong obedience at this time. Knowing that the lord planned to ambush the enemy, he neither urged nor became impatient. Instead, he hid in the woods to guard the side to prevent Li Ang's troops from being discovered.
The Lord's troops were hiding in the dense forest and were probably not discovered.
Li Ang was lying in the frontmost position. In front of him was an open forest grassland.
This is the largest horse farm in Nuodu Fenway Family, breeding hundreds of Elf Horse horses.
This is probably also the place with the sparsest trees in Noldo Forest. Wherever Li Ang looks, there are tall yew trees, but most of the distance between the trees is more than twenty meters.
This was obviously done deliberately by the Fenway Family, making this racecourse the only place in the forest where horses can run.
Fenway Family has about eighty people left at this racecourse, led by two Twilight Knight, who are divided into two teams.
One team was guarding a large stable, while the other team was in front, shooting the enemies who appeared.
In fact, eighty Noldo Elves are already very powerful in combat. If they were in the woods, they might be able to deal with ten times as many enemies.
But now, they are in this area with sparse trees and lack the cover of trees. Noldo Elves can only fight head-on.
In fact, there are not many Misty Mountain people appearing in front of us now, only more than a hundred. However, after obtaining sophisticated equipment, the combat effectiveness of these savages is not weak.
The most important thing is - they are just like those Gatu people, they don't care about their own lives at all, and they keep charging forward despite the rain of Noldor arrows.
Although dozens of corpses had been left behind, they stayed at the front and quickly approached the Noldor formation.
Those Gatu people may have exceeded three hundred people, but they were spread out widely. They basically did not come forward to participate in close combat. Instead, they consciously approached the stables.
It seems that the purpose of those Gatu people is indeed for Nodo's Elf Horse.
The fight was more difficult for the Noldor who were unwilling to trade their lives with the enemy. The Noldor in the front row retreated step by step, gradually retreating to the stables.
Now, they can't retreat. Behind them is the stable. Once Gatu people gets on the horse, the problem will be serious...
Due to the numerical disadvantage and the fact that the Noldor wanted to protect the horses from being acquired by Gatu people, it seemed that the Noldo Elves were about to be forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
This was originally something the Noldor wanted to avoid, as they were unwilling to trade lives with others.
"Brothers, charge!"
When the enemy was still twenty or thirty meters away from the Noldo Elvess, the lord gave the order and then rushed to the front.
The lord's troops rushed over from the enemy's side. Just after rushing into the battlefield, Li Ang shot down a Gatu people with one arrow.
Then he dropped the bow and rushed towards the other Gatu people with his sword.
Rushing out from this direction, it happened to be the direction where some Gatu people were outflanking him. The nearest Gatu people was only twenty meters away. He shot an arrow at the beginning just to express his position, so as to prevent the Noldor from hitting the wrong person.
And Risadiran also ran out at this time and ran towards a Twilight Knight.
Both sides of the war saw the group of human soldiers rushing out wearing neat heraldic robes.
But the Noldor had no time to pay attention - Misty Mountain Savages had already rushed in front of them and started fighting hand to hand.
However, Gatu people was a little hesitant, probably reassessing the battlefield situation...
But Li Ang's troops did not hesitate at all. The two hundred people gathered together rushed directly towards Gatu people, who was already in a skirmishing state.
Although there was no way to set up any military formations in the forest, the local superiority of troops and the dense formation against skirmishers made the impact of this charge quickly apparent.
In just one minute, dozens of Gatu people fell to Li Ang's troops.
"Bispa!"
Li Ang once again heard the Jatu words that represented retreat, and the Gatu people on the periphery slowly began to retreat.
But those Misty Mountain peoples are still fighting hard, because they are now fighting for their lives against the Noldo Elvess and there is no way to retreat.
It seems that the relationship between Gatu people and these Misty Mountain people is not too strong. Those Gatu people actually sold their teammates...
Thanks to Xianfu Zuiyue, Sakura-colored Xia, and Yan Nanyu for their large rewards!
