Mighty Lord

"Cough, was there some misunderstanding between us?" Darius was a man who knew when to yield. Based on the difference in numbers between the two sides, he quickly calculated the outcome of a fight...

That was...

He was dead for sure.

"A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" William sneered in confusion. As a Legendary Boss leading a group of subordinates, there had to be some proper buildup when bullying someone.

Darius coughed awkwardly. "I am a viscount of the Blackrock Duchy. My father is an earl. I do not know how I offended you, my lord. Please forgive me."

From his words, Darius had already guessed that William was the new Elf in Border Town.

Yet whenever he spoke, there was always a trace of pride on his face. Every time he mentioned his father's title, a sense of pride rose naturally within him.

There was no particular reason for it.

He simply felt that when it came to relying on one's father, ordinary people were usually no match for him. In his mind, as long as this new lord felt even the slightest fear, he could return alive.

After all, he truly did not see William as a killer. It was impossible that all these people were killers, right?

What a joke. Did they take him for an idiot?

Darius believed that he had merely wandered into someone else's territory and annoyed this Elf. There should not be any mortal danger.

"Oh, so that was why you killed my pet Lightning Wolf?" William had no interest in competing over fathers with him. He was afraid he might scare him to death.

Then William pointed at the Lightning Wolf's corpse with increasing sorrow. "Look at this, look at this. My pet wolf had its head blown apart by your arrow, and you are still standing on its body. Move your foot already. You have ruined its fur; I will not be able to sell it...

"Cough, tell me then. How are you going to compensate me for killing my pet?"

"..." Darius lifted his foot and twitched his lips. He had seen shameless people before, but never someone so utterly shameless. Left with no choice, he took a purple gemstone from his robe with an ugly expression. "This is a Strength..."

"Throw it over. I will inspect it myself," William interrupted.

"Whoosh!"

William caught it, glanced at it, and his expression brightened slightly before he tucked it into his pocket...

Just as Darius began to look pleased as well—

He saw William staring at him again, as though a lecherous wolf had fixed its gaze on a little white rabbit that had just come of age!

The meaning was obvious.

The money for his life was not enough.

If he did not pay enough to buy his life, this greedy Elf would very likely kill him!

Darius exchanged looks with his four royal guards and decisively took out more items. As the eldest son of an earl, he had always carried quite a few treasures with him.

And so...

After throwing things over seven or eight times, until Darius had nothing left besides his weapons and equipment—

William curled his lips. "So poor!"

"Please spare us, my lord. Once I return, I will certainly bring you enough gifts!" Darius gave a chuckle, his gaze sincere.

"Heh. Scum. Pervert. You slaughtered my pet and still want to live? Kill them." William could not be bothered to deal with them any longer and casually waved his hand!

All the Elves immediately rose and drew their bows to full strength!

"You despicable, shameless Elf! My father will avenge me! Damn it!!" Darius roared as every guard beside him unleashed their battle aura!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

More than a hundred battle aura arrows shot forth. The instant they struck the Battle Aura Shields, explosions erupted one after another, and brilliant light flashed everywhere.

For a moment, the surrounding trees were torn apart by battle aura, while the grassland was gouged with ravines.

"Break through!" Darius could clearly feel the battle aura within him plummeting wildly. He was an Intermediate Warrior-Class Professional, after all; his battle aura was more than twice that of a Novice-Class Professional.

Yet even so, Darius, standing amid the crowd and struck by only a small number of arrows, knew he could not hold out for long.

But before he could say another word—

Lotner slowly rose, removed the golden longbow from his back, lightly plucked the bowstring, nocked an arrow, and drew the string!

Whoosh.

A dazzling silver light flashed through the air like lightning. All they could see was the vortex trailing behind the arrow!

Then—

The silver light instantly pierced through several enemies before blasting through Darius's head as well. At the moment it struck the ground—

Boom.

The battle aura contained within the silver light exploded instantly.

Everyone was thrown into the air.

Both were Intermediate-Class Professionals, but Lotner was more than ten levels higher than Darius, and his bloodline was far stronger. Let alone Darius alone, even all of them together would not have been a match for Lotner.

After seeing this, William jumped down from the tree and walked over to the corpses. He could not help but bare his teeth. "Tsk, I had not even made a move, and you all fell down already. Too weak."

"Mighty Lord." Nock held up his weapon and flattered him, as though he had been the one who attacked just now...

"Mighty Lord." The Elves echoed.

Pah, I was clearly the one who killed them. What a bunch of shameless bastards. Lotner silently cursed.

However—

The next second, Lotner raised his weapon high and shouted, "Mighty Lord, unrivaled in majesty! The moment you released your aura, they all collapsed! Your strength is simply terrifying!"

The Elves nodded thoughtfully, suddenly enlightened. Yes, that was why they were not officers...

William merely smiled faintly at this. He did not feel proud at all. After all, they were right—ordinary people truly could not understand the loneliness of invincibility.

Then he pointed at the equipment on the corpses. "Strip it off. Take it back and melt it down for reforging."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Oh, right. My... that pet wolf. Take it back and make soup and meat for yourselves. Build up your strength."

"You truly are a Child of Glory, my lord. May the Gods bless you forever." The Elves looked at William with beaming smiles. It had to be said that this lord was truly quite good.

Every time he led them to clear the Crisis Near the Territory, he gave them the magical beasts they killed.

This Lightning Wolf had not suffered too many external wounds. Its hide alone could be sold for at least several hundred gold coins if skinned intact.

Now, this three-hundred-pound magical beast belonged to them. Everyone could share the meat and drink the soup, while the hide could naturally be made into inner armor.

And because of their status as royal guards, they could also receive some Mithril. At that time, crafting a piece of silver-quality inner armor would be easy. If they could ask Odom or Lotner to do it personally and add some precious materials, they might even end up with golden inner armor.

As for who would own the inner armor afterward, they could decide among themselves.

In any case, from their perspective, now that they followed their lord, they ate well and drank well. They did not need to fear a shortage of even better things...

"Without realizing it, these guys' favorability toward me has risen greatly." William shook his head with a sigh. Loyalty was a subordinate's loyalty toward their lord, affecting the likelihood of betrayal or desertion.

But favorability was very different. It determined whether they would help him block arrows...

During this time, he farmed the favorability of three little bears in the morning, the favorability of his Elf subordinates in the afternoon, and Siya's favorability at night...

No, at night, it was enough to discuss magic with Siya. He could not gain much favorability from her.

"Deal with all their corpses. Since we are already out here, let us wander around and kill a few magical beasts before going home." William carefully checked the number of corpses. The whole family was lying here nice and neatly, not a single one missing.

He did not care which earl Darius's father was.

Although at least half of a duchy's forces were concentrated in the hands of its nobles—

The minimum threat to William would have to be a marquis. A mere earl was not worth his attention, especially an earl of a duchy...

He had five hundred Elven Royal Guards under his command. Ordinary nobles would not dare entertain any ideas about him.

Besides, there was no need to worry about this matter being exposed. As long as Kuri still wanted to inherit the earl's title, he would hide it well.

Most importantly, the Blackrock Duchy had no time to care about whether a viscount lived or died. The Steel Duchy had issued an iron embargo and seemed to be preparing for war. Their attention was focused on the Steel Duchy's military movements.

"My lord, we found something good!"

"What is it?" William raised an eyebrow and looked toward the excited Elf.

"Magic potion!"
